Long live side da great

Thanks @side for making Android 11 for our jf this long.

 

[Retrial]

Side you are the king baby

Superb audio quality for USB (UAC 44.1kHz 32bit) and Bluetooth (LDAC).
Noop I/O scheduler is not bad for audio (BFQ has disappeared).

I found two "Android Services Library" system apps in this ROM. One is "android.ext.services" and the other is "com.google.android.ext.services". Is this normal?

https://source.android.com/devices/architecture/modular-system/extservices thats ext.services
the com.google.android.ext.services is Gapps related

still found a few gapps

Sorry. I confirmed that "com.google.android.ext.services" came from "BiTGApps-arm-11.0.0-R19_signed" (I have installed this and Magisk 21.1 on this ROM). I was able to disable "com.google.android.ext.services" without problems.

Many thanks to side and team for android 11 on Galaxy s4.

Magisk 21.1 does not install. Any help much appreciated.

Ok. Got it. Change bin extension to zip. Simple as!!

 

[basti_b24]

Really nice work and Rom from thr JDC Team!

Unfortunately I experience some bugs:
Bluetooth does not reliably enable from the quick settings (automatically turns off again)
- for WiFi, sometimes networks are not found and an empty list is shown . switching to flight mode and back resolves this.

 

[manciuszz]

Awesome release. I like this one far better than [JDCTeam] Optimized LineageOS17.1 v8.0 (... mainly because I experienced random crashes with it).
The phone feels a lot faster running this ROM compared to the above mentioned, however I already encountered some small issues:

> Google Maps latest version (from Google Playstore) seem to have an issue with Android 11, therefore had to downgrade manually to 10.54.0 (https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/maps/maps-10-54-0-release/) to fix the issue.​

> Similar issue was encountered with latest "Vanced Youtube" release - something about Google Play Services not being supported on this device. A downgrade to to 15.33.34 fixed it.​

> Android 11 seems to have removed global "Immersive Mode" and now its up to apps to implement it? Is there an app that still works (don't care if its per app basis or global as long as it works) ? Anyways, please try to bring it back Q.Q​

> Home Screen "Search" feature does literally nothing.​

> I can't seem to find screen pixel shutdown feature (was it called screen dimming or smth?) that was available in LineageOS17.1 v8.0 for AMOLED screens, then again its not a mandatory feature, but I appreciated that extra battery life.​

> Battery Charging statistics on lock screen seems to be missing too unlike LOS17.1 It was useful to know if my charging cables were faulty.​

I did experience some random restarts, but can't confirm if it was the ROM problem or it was me messing with ADB , experimenting to transfer ~10GB of data via USB and Wireless at the same time, so maybe I overloaded something by attempting that among other things xD

I didn't experience Bluetooth or Wi-Fi issues so far, seems way more reliable than the LineageOS17.1.

Furthermore, I did use the "Aroma Installer 10" and I can say that the Magisk Manager is either bugged or the latest version simply doesn't allow to Install Magisk automatically anymore - it allowed only downloads and even then the magisk.zip threw errors upon flashing via TWRP. Manually downloading Magisk v21.1 from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases and flashing it did work tho ;]

Anyways, keep up the awesome work! I'm a big fan of all Optimized LineageOS releases

- for WiFi, sometimes networks are not found and an empty list is shown . switching to flight mode and back resolves this.

I experienced this too. My other small issues are,

• USB OTG memories cannot be used (but I can use USB DAC's)
• Bluetooth aptX codec's default sampling freq. is 48kHz (changeable to 44.1kHz after connected), while SBC&AAC's default are 44.1kHz.

Greetings I have this room for daily use since it left and I can notice that it loses the wifi and is less strong than normal the other detail is in wassap the voice and audio and group calls presents a failure nop works well that alone would be important to solve those two things rest is beautiful androit 11 congratulations

 

[DavidSuter393]

This rom works flawlessly on my Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919...I have 2 great suggestions....the Ambient Display when Notifications arrive and the Always On Display...I like those two.

 

[manciuszz]

Spotted a weird bug with the quick settings panel:

The icons just disappear sometimes. They do come back if you expand it further. I though it was just dark mode thing, but same behavior happens with light mode too. I noticed the bug started to happen once I edited (added more buttons) the quick settings panel.

-- EDIT

I fixed it or more probably caused it via "SystemUI Tuner" by enabling "QS Fancy Animation" setting.

Hey guys!

maybe I'm really blind, but I can't find any ARM Gapps for Android 11...

any suggestion or (better a) link?

thank you.
