clean flash 8.3 + opengapps and wifi gone after every reboot

seems like no changes here

upd. same w\o gapps
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] carlos974:
Dirty flash for me from 8.1.7 to 8.3

Wifi works fine

I use microg
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gnikolson:
:cowboy:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] greatninja:
possibly cuz of dirty flash from 8.1.7

not shure 100% but with v8.1.7 wifi always works after reboots

i give it a try

upd. yep thats true v.8.1.7 wifi works after reboot with no problem
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ebholoria:
Greetings.. does anyone know if there is any difference between v8.1 and V8.3?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] VALVRAVE:
Thanks for reply, but I tried dirty flash and it could not boot up and stuck on Lineage booting screen.

And I wiped up ART Cache，System，Data，Cache and flashed build v8.3 by sideload, and then it was bootable.😂
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gnikolson:
Version 8.3 has reached higher level has more free ram , bluetooth works fine for me and almost good Wi-Fi , perfect work, thank you guys , is there any chance for Android 13?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] greatninja:
ok i tried bitgapps, microg and without gapps and wifi works fine after reboots

think restoring apps/setting via opengapps/mindthegapps in firts setup wizard leads to this problems with wifi after reboots
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ebholoria:
Greetings' bro, is v8.3 better than v8.1? I'm currently using v8.1, so I would like to know his features before upgrading to it(v8.3)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] greatninja:
at least v8.3 with more stable wifi
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] greatninja:
Ok finally i find what cause wifi problem after reboot on v8.3

bluetooth - if you reboot device with bt turned on (u dont need paired devices, just turn it on) after reboot wifi shows standart error "no networks available"

not a big deal u still can easily fix it with airplane mode or reset network settings but with bt turned off no wifi error after reboots

confirmed with 2 devices
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] notnoelchannel:
For Android 13 I guess there is a chance, me and slaff will try to do some work, if we get it working of course you'll get one photo of android 13 in this thread :D

Seems to work lovely, after I got bootloop yesterday, but today when I started it just worked. Any tips on helping me pass basic integrity and cst profile match? I want to use the phone for my kid so he can play pokemon go.

All I did was install trwp and flash lineage19and opengapps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] greatninja:
you tried magisk + safetynet fix or this is not enough?

ok now i see

try to

1. Flash Magisk 25 via twrp (u can flash apk) https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v25.2

2. Reboot and update magisk app

3. Activate Zgisk in magisk settings

4. Install safetynet fix https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases in magisk (modules tab - select downloaded zip file)

5. Reboot

6. Check safetynet with YASNAC https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rikka.safetynetchecker&hl=en&gl=US&pli=1

Possibly you may need to hide magisk and add app\game to deny list (you can do this in magisk settings (hide app\deny list))
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jaklabais:
Oh no I got the bootloop again after flashing magisk. Should I try another magisk version or is 25.2 highly recommended?

I'll just try installing a bit back and forth and see if I can get it to work. Thanks for you quick reply.

A quick reflash of all 3, os,apps and magisk and it booted again. I couldn't hide magisk, only pokemon go.

But it was enough, it passed the safety check and pokemon go did launch. The phones battery is very bad and the game doesn't run great. But I'm amazed that it was possible to get it running. Thank you!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] greatninja:
I think bootloop from another reason (cuz u already have bootloop yesterday) , try to reflash ROM with full wipe.

I try this many times and this works well.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jaklabais:

Try to check with GPS Test
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Swaddy:
I just updated my GT-I9505 from crDroid to this one. Thank you for still supporting an oldie. And of course, you get some beer.

GPS works for me; I didn't try a lot because this is just a navigation phone in my car. (OsmAnd+ always crashed today after updating. Maybe related to the new OpenGL 2 renderer)

If someone wants to do the same in March 2023, I used these files:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DavidSuter393:
Yes it actually can! By changing your backup provider in System - backup and reset. Change it to Google. Then deny permissions to Seedvault in the app in settings. Then that annoying thing will be gone!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] greatninja:
Some apps (like LocalSend from fdroid store) has visual artefacts. Some rendering problem or something. Cant make screenshot but you can see it almost imidiately after start the app

But for now its about week of uptime and no signisfcant problem with rom at all. Everithing works, no random reboots, wifi is rock solid

Greetings JDCTeam

Is it possible to pre install any offline Notes App to upcoming version? it will make the Rom great.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Retrial:
You can install any Notes app you want. Why to have pre-installed Notes app to ROM if other users want to use another notes app or no notes app at all?

By not include it, it's less bloated and users can install whatever they want without having an extra app. That counts for every app not just for notes.

Check Simple Notes if you are looking for a simple notes app.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ebholoria:
Greetings...

I now understand the reason behind it why it did not come with pre-installed Notes App. I'm thankful for your explanation and for your great work, I appreciate it .

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tristan79:
Hello JDCteam. This ROM is great! :)

Thank you for giving this almost 10 year old phone a new life (Now it's 10). However, I have noticed that some apps and games can randomly crash, is this a bug?

After testing a bit, using system graphics driver in developer options. It helped games last a lot longer before they again, crashed. Battery life is great when idle.

I also wanted to ask about adding a GPU overclock to about 465mhz?. I don't know anything about kernels, unless someone would help me.

Thanks again. Don't give up on our 10 year old phone🤠

FYI:

Release Magisk v26.0 · topjohnwu/Magisk

Hey! Long time no see! Bumping Minimum Android Version to 6.0 Magisk's support for Android Lollipop has been pretty broken for a while without it being noticed. Also, none of the active developers ...

github.com
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Trubbs:
Wifi hmm.. kind of fragile for a while for me.

Usually fine until sleep then periodic maintenance wake up, not connect and dreadful battery drain to zero in 7-8 hrs or so from 80%

Then I noticed a discussion around 2.4 / 5GHz. My Fritzbox router offers both frequencies on the same wifi network name. I also noticed my jfltex was swapping between them randomly.

So I renamed the 2.4GHz band (suffixed it with 24) and did not configure that, just leaving 5GHz configured on my device.

And since, no wifi issues at all, absolutely solid.

Maybe this helps with anyone suffering wifi issues, be wary where multiple configured access points are available at the same time, especially where the bands in use are different.

I have no idea on the network stack used by this build but know enough to appreciate the complexity especially kind of flying blind with the device drivers. My experience suggests KISS principles should apply in any user expectations.

I have been trying to install this ROM on a GT-I9505 using TWRP and get stuck in a bootloop when the OS is trying to boot. Before installing this ROM the phone wasn't working so I used a GT-I9505 motherboard in a SGH-I337M frame. The motherboard came from China and has the bootloader, AP and CP of I9505ZHSHQD1. It boots fine with the stock ROM on the motherboard. I also tried to flash other versions of JDC Team ROMs, crDRoid, and official Lineage versions with the same result.

In order to flash the ROMs I use TWRP and do a clean install which includes doing a factory reset, wiping Dalvik/Art Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, and Cache. Then I Format the Data.

I install the ROM, then pico GApps. They install fine then after I have finished installing the Rom and GApps I wipe the Cache/Dalvik before hitting system reboot.

Any help on this would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] carlos974:
Install the ROM only and reboot
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] blmm59:
Tried that and same result. The Resurrection Remix OS 8.6.5 ROM doesn't get stuck in a bootloop but gets stuck at "Wait a sec" if GApps are loaded. When I load the ROM without GApps the Setup Wizard gets stuck at the Location Services screen and stops responding.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ms2art:
Hi everyone,

First, I would like to express my gratitude towards all the developers who have made this rom available, so we can continue to use it. Your effort is great for the environment, so that these old devices won't go to the junk yard too earlier.

I have a Samsung Galaxy 4 (jfltemo (SGH-M919)) -Tmobile version. I have installed the Optimized LineageOS19.1 v8.3 [28Feb/2023], Optimized-LineageOS-19.1-V8.3.zip, together with open_gapps-arm-12L-pico-20220705-UNOFFICIAL_MOD.zip and Magisk-v26.1.zip. I am planning on using it only as wifi device for my child to use some educational apps. So no sim card, no need other fancy stuff. I noticed wifi only works intermittently, so I tried the tips of turning on Airplane mode, that seems to have fixed it for now, and I am not using the G mode of WiFi to connect. (The G-mode wifi would make it less stable)

Even with this setup, if I turn on bluetooth, it could cause problem, so I am avoiding bluetooth, currently setting the airplane mode, but I would be grateful if there is a solution. One question I have is how do you easily uninstall the gapps? I heard a few folks mentioning that may help the situation, and I am willing to try. BT is helpful if my child wants to connect the phone to a BT speaker.

One thing I can consistently reproduce is that it will instantly shut off, if I tried to turn on the WiFi debugging in Developer's Option settings. I have been able to make this happen a few times. I did not see anyone else mentioned this, so I want to raise this.

BTW, my current daily phone is a Samsung Note 10+ running Android 12, I can turn on WiFi debugging in Developer's Option mode, and that way, I can use scrcpy through TCPIP to cast the phone screen to my computer, either Mac or Windows, both will work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] greatninja:
Best way is just flash rom without gapps with full wipe.

Only problem with wifi+BT on v8.3 (not 8.3.1 , for some reason this ver is less stable) - "after reboot" wifi problem here (u need to fix it ones after reboot device). No problem when you using wifi+bluetooth for connecting devices such hedset and others. I`m use this with gapps, but my device is 9505. For me installing gapps not affected wifi at all.

But you can try flash rom without gapps, just make sure u using v8.3 - most stable for now.

I tryed activated "wireless debugging" in dev settings and this is not kill the wifi. Possibly this is some problems related to your device model and this rom. But first try to 8.3 without gapps and full wipe.

Thanks greatninja for your kind reply. I will definitely try your suggestions.

I also found that even when I am using one app (Duolingo in my case), this phone gets heated up quickly in the back. Do you folks have the same experience?

On a slightly different situation about battery.

I got a new battery yesterday from Amazon, it came with 56% charged (it's normal, I heard), when I plugged in with the phone to charge, it jumped up to 100% very quickly, and I charged additional 1 hr to ensure, and after I unplug, it goes back down to 56% very quickly too, I am wondering this may indicate a bad battery. I am trying the battery calibration tip right now. What do you folks think I should do?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ms2art:
You are amazing vip5912, l wish I would know how to build it myself too. How was your experience with your own build? Do you find it more stable, especially in terms of WiFi+BT combo, and the wireless debugging settings.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] notnoelchannel:
amazing <3
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] vip5912:
First of all, it's very simple to build. You need only sync merge and built JDCTeam & LOS repos using side's build.sh

repo init -u https://github.com/JDCTeam/manifests.git -b opt-cm-19.1
repo sync
. build.sh

It's JDCTeam&LOS repo. I changed nothing.

As for me it's enough stable. I use my S4 (9505) as daily driver.

If you turn on BT, you need turn on WiFi again. It's not problem for me.

Wireless debugging is working well, I use it sometime. Don't forget turn on all 3 buttons (USB debug, WiFi debug, SU debug).

P.S. For build you need 32 GB RAM and 300 GB HD free.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ms2art:
Thanks for your tip, vip5912. Unfortunately, I don't have a development environment setup which has 32GB ram. I have a few old iMac, each have 16GB ram, wonder if there is a way of distributing the build onto different machines? Otherwise I am out of luck, at least for now.

I always turn off usb debugging, while only leave wifi debugging on on my note10+, so I did the same on S4, I will experiment this later, after my battery calibration finishes by the end of the day today.

I will also experiment your suggestions of BT+WiFi.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] vip5912:
When I had 16 GB RAM I used Zram and turned off GUI (My PC is Ubuntu Linux) and I made pre-build some modules (RAM consuming):

Yep its ok. Modern software on old hardware.

Try to full discharge and charge battery couple time. I have three "new" batteries and one of them is peice of crap, about 6-7 hour of uptime with this battery. Nothing help. A lot of low quality battery on the market today (no nfc and random capacity). Just a rulette.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ms2art:
Okay, thanks. I am doing the 3rd round of full discharge and charge, the seller mentioned I should do 5 times. But so far, the discharge has been happening too fast.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ms2art:
Now, I did another round of clean installation. this time, I only installed LOS 19.1 v8.3, I rebooted, and turn on the WiFi debugging without the USB debugging, it works.because at this stage, the phone is not rooted yet.

Next step, I installed Magisk 0.26.1, and after, reboot, started Magisk to setup, and then this time, I tried to turn on the WiFi debugging without the USB debugging, that's when the instant reboot occurs. So I followed your suggestion vip5912, I turned on all three debugging as you mentioned, this time works without instant reboot.

When phone is not rooted (such as my Note10+), or before Magisk (unrooted), we can turn on WiFi debugging independently of USB debugging, however, after you rooted, you have turn on all three.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] smarf11:
Awesome. How do we get the ball rolling on this? Unfortunately I'm not a developer (yet) but would like this feature asap. 🙃
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] vip5912:
In my opinion, all the developers left this project.

Given that the phone is already 10 years old, new ones are unlikely to appear.

Lineage also no longer supports this phone.

So there is no need to wait for new versions.

For myself, I make new builds including LOS 19.1 updates

(ASB, Android security patches, mostly, no my own changes).
