[OnePlus 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Areebanwar:
Hello everyone. Currently, I'm on OS11 locked and non-rooted but I truly want to switch to custom ROMS because I'm tired of Oxygen now.

Before I take the plunge, there are few questions over which I'd be extremely grateful answers. Please note that there's over 80GB data that I need to take backup and restore, hence why it's important I've the knowledge beforehand.

Would be ever-so-grateful if you could please help me out :)

- Is this ROM stable enough?

- Dolby support available?

- OOS cam is functional?

- Bank apps work?
[OnePlus 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] trueToastedCode:
- Stable? Yes but i did not test it super intense

- Dolby? Yes it works noticeably / Tho speakers still sound much worse compared to Oxygen (for me)

- OOS cam? Works as well / Tho i personally had freezes and crashes when changing anything

- Bank apps? I had full SaftyNet and WidevineL1

Overall the rom is really fast and supersmooth and the gesture navigation is awesome. I prefer it over Oxygen11. The speakers... well its ok. The camera however is a No-go for me. I've published the bug and logcats (see my guide). I've asked others and they said their camera is working flawless. Lol but with 80gb of backup i would not do that
[OnePlus 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Areebanwar:
Thank you very much for your response. For OP7, it's getting extremely hard to find a stable custom ROM support. Unfortunately, I can't code and I'm ever grateful to those who take the initiative and offer the support.

There are literally handful of ROMS available for OP7. Witnessing the abysmal treatment by Oneplus, I decided to look elsewhere. Bacon still has great support, so does the 5. And your last sentence hits home. Maybe I'll wait it out...
[OnePlus 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] trueToastedCode:
U speak of my heart. I am never going to buy a OnePlus again ;/ I though this company was good at software but Oxygen11 is just the worst (not the design but the optimization). And damm they just won't publish updates.

Think i will switch to Apple or Samsung
[OnePlus 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] M.Kader:
I just installed pe+ .

Everything is working L1 , oos camera okay .FP also good just like oos. So far so good

How to flash oos 11 on both slots without unlocking bootloader on OOS10 ?

i just update normally with local upgrade does it enough after doing this process also i get L3 only after unlocking bootloader

can you explain clearly how to flash oos 11 in both slots without twrp
[OnePlus 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] sparkk_kk:
i just followed this guide nearly 20-30 times still didn't get L1 after unlocking bootloader

I tried with EU global version on oos 11 rom too
[OnePlus 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] sparkk_kk:
I tried this method also https://xdaforums.com/t/oos11-widev...tore-oos-wallpapers-and-more-no-twrp.4276421/

still it was L3 after unlocking bootloader
[OnePlus 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] rahulllsingh:
I was using this rom back in march but noticed that battery was draining very fast. So switched back to oos. I want to ask the people using latest build how is the battery life?
[OnePlus 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vatsal_chandan:
Yes I agree, though rom is smooth, battery drains fast and device crashes sometimes
[OnePlus 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] M.Kader:
No drain . And crashes what so ever. L1 is there . Clean . FP is so far so good. Smooth.

Every custom Rom u need to give it a few days at least 1 week then . Give your review about it .

My advice use f2fs data and then thank me later
[OnePlus 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] anshul1123:
Thanks for the rom.

2 problems - fingerprint reader doesn't work after the latest update.

2nd - no widewine L1

Initial Release🥳
[Galaxy S 4 General] R_A_N_D_Y:
Hi guys,

I can't manage to install the Bootloader & Modem via Odin on my phone.

Does the phone need to be already rooted in order to install the B&M?

Attached is also the capture I took when rebooting the phone in Download mode.

I selected "reboot to bootloader" in order to install the B&M, because otherwise Odin won't detect that the phone is connected to the PC. Probably I'm doing something wrong.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S 4 General] pocketrule:
I'n not 100% sure, but I think no

The picture shows your device in recovery

How did you do that? I'm not aware of such a reboot option.

You should boot into download mode (see above for how to). It should look like attached picture 1

In Odin, before you start flashing, you should see a success message "<ID ... Added!! If not, you should check if you have all required driver installed for your device.

Thank you very much !
[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
No need root.

Download and install the Samsung USB Drivers in your PC. (You can find it in my collection)

Download the Combined Bootloader & Modem for your variant from my collection.

Turn off your device.

Reboot your device to Download Mode by pressing Power Button + Vol.down + Home Button and run Odin from your PC as administrator.

Put the COMBINED BOOTLOADER_MODEM.tar to AP section, untick Auto-Reboot in options and flash!

When It's done, reboot your device by pressing Power Button for couple of seconds.

[Galaxy S 4 General] hermes127:
Hi Retrial, first of all this is a really useful post thank you so much!

I just bought a brand new S4 GT-I9505 and I used the latest TWRP in your post wich is twrp-3.5.1_9-0-jflte.img.tar for flashing lineage-17.1-20210116-UNOFFICIAL-jflte.zip and I have some question if you are so kind to aswer me:

I want to update the firmware so I downloaded the last one for Italy from Updato.com which is I9505XXUHPK2 (Genuary 2017) and I would like to know if is a good idea to flash it with Odin and if I have to fresh re-installing Lineage. Then I would like to know if after updating the firmware I can update only XXUHQC1_BOOTLOADER and XXUHQC1_COMBINED which are the international versions and obviously the most recent versions.

Do you think is possible? Thanks in advance. Kind Regards
[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
Hello,

If you flash firmware u need to reflash lineageos from start along with twrp. U can only do it via Odin.

Btw use the latest for your variant from my collection. Doesn't matter the country.

Flashing firmware=flashing stock rom. Why u want to do that if u are already in los?

You can flash bootloader and modem seperate yes (but I recommend to use my combined .tar which include both of them), without the need to flash everything again. Just go to Odin and flash the combined .tar I have made to AP. Once again, all the latest versions are included in my collection, doesn't matter the country so just use them.

All the infos and steps you need are in my collection and guides. Let me know if you have more questions.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hermes127:
Hi thanks for your fast response! I want to flash an updated firmware because my S4 GT-I9505 is new and probably from an old stock so the firmware is for sure the old one (2013-2014) ,right now in lineage os in setting/info I can't see the current version of baseband. I don't care if I have to re-install Lineage and the recovery, I had to do it before installing Lineage, I know I forgot it... but I wanted just to know if is possible to do now without breaking something. Now you say that it doesn't make sense and that is better to just flash your combined Modem and Bottloader package, is it correct? What's your advice: installing your last complete firmware or just the combined Bootloader and Modem package? I red somewhere in this forum that it's better to update the firmware before installing lineage so I wanted to do the installation again in the right way. Sorry if it's an annoying question I'm not an expert and I want just to be sure. Thank you so much for your support.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kippy51:
Just follow what Retrial said; flashing his combo-file will accomplish what you want. Starting from scratch like you wanna do isn't any better.

I flashed bootloaders and modems so often, I can't even remember. Flashing stock firmware? Maybe once!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
Firmware=Stock Samsung ROM. Firmware does

not

include Modem & Bootloader. So even if u flash Firmware u have to also flash Bootloader & Modem.

Now you say that u are on lineageos, I don't know what version you are but you can flash via Odin the combined .tar file which include Bootloader & Modem and then clean install via TWRP the latest LineageOS along with latest GApps if you use.

If you want to start from scratch-fresh then follow my Guides: "Clean Install Official Stock ROM" and then the guide "Clean Install Custom ROM".

With few words: go to TWRP wipe everything, the connect ur device to PC and flash via Odin the latest Firmware (stock ROM). Let it boot and then flash via Odin the latest Bootloader & Modem. Then flash TWRP and clean install the latest LineageOS with GApps (optional).

Everything you need is on my collection and all steps in my guides. Since u have i9505 variant you need the latest Firmware/Modem & Bootloader which is I9505XXUHQK1.

Let me know how it goes or if you have any other questions.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hermes127:
Wow your instructions are absolutely detailed and useful, thank you so much Retrial for your support.! I'll opt for the "start from scratch-fresh" install by following your guides. If I can take advantage of your competence I would like to ask you just one last advice: I switched to Lineage OS for privacy reasons (I don't like google so I don't need GApps) and I also use it for sharing internet to my MacBook Pro with USB tethering (not wifi tethering which is not safe for privacy) so do you think that the Optimized Lineage OS (Android 10) version from JDCTeam is the right version for me? May I use the Android 11 version? Probably I'm asking you to much things and I can understand if you can't answer me, you have been really kind and I really appreciated your help. Anyway I'll post here my experience with "start from scratch-fresh instal" .
[Galaxy S 4 General] blackhawk:
Anything for the AT&T S4 Active (+) variant?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
Don't worry mate, ask whatever you want. I will help if I can.:)

Optimized LineageOS 10 is great but it's EOL (end of life). Optimized LineageOS 11 is also great and it's currently under development.

But since you are looking for privacy & security it's better to use Official LOS with guarantee monthly security patches cause lately optimized los stays a bit behind on updates. (Dev is busy) Soon official 11 will also be released.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
I think ur variant has locked bootloader so I don't know if anything exist.
[Galaxy S 4 General] blackhawk:
Thank you. If you become aware of any work arounds please let me know.

It's a phone that is expendable now🤣
[Galaxy S 4 General] Retrial:
I know there is a workound for S4 AT&T on specific firmware with locki patched TWRP but I don't think it's exist anything for ur S4 active at&t. I will let u know if I find anything.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hermes127:
Ok thank you, I'll follow your advice.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hermes127:
Hi Retrial, tomorrow I'm going to install Lineage os from scratch and after reading all your guides I have some questions:

1. For installing the Ufficial Lineage OS ROM can I use your TWRP recovery instead of using the ufficial Lineage OS recovery?

2.If yes what's the procedure for installing future ufficial updates with TWRP recovery? Do I have to swipe something or just install the update from the TWRP recovery?

3.In your guide "CLEAN INSTALL CUSTOM ROM" you specify 2 options: with and without SD Card and for me (I told you I'm not an expert) it's a little bit confusing.

I have a new 64GB sd card and I'll use it as an external memory not internal so what guide is the right one? Can you clarify the two options?

All your other guides are really simple and easy to understand.

Thank you so much for your support mate!

Hey, I have answered to your questions with teal color. 🙃
[Galaxy S 4 General] hermes127:
Hi Retrial, it's just a spelling mistake, in Italian Official is Ufficiale so I written Ufficial but not unofficial so I intended the Official version....I installed the stock firmware then the combined bootloader and modem, official TWRP and Official Lineage OS. I followed your guides and everything is perfect mate! Thank you so much.

Lots of good info, and not just for S4, some so simple anyone could easily forget.

Under privacy and security.

In AUS we have recentky had, over the common television channels, reports of scams that send SMS with links, that install malware. Maybe add "SMS" to the email ref. And is it missing a "d" out of address, or did I copy it wrong.

Thanks so much for the guides, Retrial.

I'd been daily driving my I9505 S4 on the stock Android ever since I got it at the end of 2013, all the way up to this year. Finally with app developers starting in droves to pull support for Android 5.0.1 (the last officially released for S4) I was feeling the pressure to have to get a new device. I thought I'd take the leap of flashing a custom ROM to see if I could extract any more life from the beloved phone, so I started reading up and collecting the downloads for it.

Well. The S4 forced my hand one Thursday evening as it locked up on the boot screen after I did a restart, and nothing I tried could get me back into Lollipop. So I fired up Odin and followed the guide here and it all went pretty much without a hitch.

And WOW was I impressed to boot into Android 11 for the first time. I expected a new OS on old hardware to be a bit slow, but it's snappy and responsive. It had gotten really slow (not sure if this were the fault of Samsung's Android or some apps I'd installed) so the difference was delightful. There's so many nice features too, and the battery no longer drains in just a couple of hours!

I do have some issues with stability however. Apps intermittently locking up or crashing, or even the whole phone crashing to a screen of speckles every so often. Experience varies app to app, but it's the Google apps that seem the worst; they work a little bit but mostly just constantly crash to the home screen. It can be hard to get an email out in Gmail as it bombs randomly while trying to compose, while YouTube and Maps are pretty much unusable.

My installation:

I9505XXUHQK1 Combined bootloader & modem

JDCTeam TWRP 3.5.2_9-0

JDCTeam Optimized LineageOS 18.1 V5.0

Open GApps ARM 11.0 pico

I installed all Google apps (and apps generally) straight from the Play store.

This thread sounds like someone having a similar problem. They said that they wiped cache and dalvik (and I've done that in TWRP), and then "tweaked some things with the xposed module gravity box"... I don't even?

Any suggestions on what I should try that might help with the instability?
