[ROM][GT-I9506][ks01ltexx] LineageOS 18.1 UNOFFICIAL for the Galaxy S4 LTE-A

[DualJoe]

Magisk install did work properly here. Maybe you have some leftovers from previous installs. Check /data/adb and if present delete it.

If it doesn't help delete /system/addon.d/99-magisk.sh and dirty install the rom again. Then try again.

Hi,
This is a great rom, works w/o any issues for me, except it's draining my battery.(a very new one.)
W/o SIM card, it2-4 days on standby, but if I connect to provider, it's drained in ~9 hours.
What should be my expectation, how long the battery usually lasts, if it's mostly on standby?
thanks!

 

[DualJoe]

Did you check settings/battery if there are some consumers logged?
Standby probably lasts for (i don't know) maybe 3-4 days i guess. Never had the phone unused for such a long time though. The question rather is if your phone wakes up a lot (and something's wrong) or if the battery is already weak, especially if its a new one.

Edit: Nvm, you already said its 2-4 days without SIM. Are you on latest modem from 1st post? Do you have good signal quality in your area?

have you looked into your doze?
see: https://xdaforums.com/t/app-tool-temefi-comprehensive-system-administration.3806260/

On a previous phone (actually previous 2 devices, I now have a Pixel4a), my device(s) would not go into doze, so was active/awake draining battery even when screen was off and the phone was unused. Also maybe look into BBS:

Thanks, for the both of you. Signal is perfect, and modem is the suggested by Kyasu. I'll check the suggestions, and maybe flash an official rom to test it.

Going To Clean Flash This Latest Build On My Export S4 Later....

 

[TechSH]

Test On My Export Korean Galaxy S4 LTE-A Aka I9506 & it works flawlessly.

SafetyNet (Attestation Fail). Fix: Universal SafetyNet Fix 1.1.0 "Yet To Test On This Rom, May Or May Not Work"

*As For The Gapps I Used: MindTheGapps (mirror) Or Use The Beta OpenGApps In OP.

SafetyNet (Attestation Fail).

Is the rom 'selinux enforced' at all?

Thanks kyasu!
I had a few issues on 17.1, anyone knows if those are solved with this ROM?

• Couldn't use the SD card trough android storage access framework. With adopted storage, I periodically have to re-insert the card.
• Some applications would crash deterministically (Mozilla stumbler on upload, and OpenCamera on finishing a panorama, for instance).
• Smart cover detection with the hall effect sensor was too sensitive, the screen was getting locked when flapping the cover on the back.
• Highly unreliable compass.

The first one is the most annoying to me, other users reported it in the 17.1 thread, so I'm wondering if this got fixed along the way?

What filesystem is on your sdcard?
Did you clean install the rom?

You are telling me you can't reproduce? I saw multiple posts mentioning that issue, so I assumed it was widespread :/

It happens on at least two phones for me. I'll have to take some time to dig a bit into this, as this is my daily driver.

IIRC, I tried a variety of filesystems: ext4, FAT (exfat or 32 or vfat, can't remember now), f2fs. SD card access is fine from a terminal emulator, and for apps that store data in a dedicated SD card folder, like OSMAnd. The issue comes from android SAF, and appears quite clearly in the logs.

I think those were clean install, yeah. Pretty sure I reinstalled multiple times trying to fix this.

Hi, I have a problem with my rom. I can't install big application who need obb installation. I've recorded my attempts to show you the problem.

Problem with big apps install on GT-i9506 & Lineage OS18.1

Can't install big apps with obb dependencies. 😟

I've tested with Google Play Store and APKpure.

Hi,

I installed latest build (lineage-18.1-20210409-UNOFFICIAL-ks01ltexx) from clean install (wiped everything )

I have 2 issues (3 in facts) :
- Some apps disapear from desk after reboot, i don't know why. I tried to wipe cache and dalvik with no effect
- I installed twrp (through Odin) but after a system reboot, twrp is replaced by rom recovery. I obviously took care to reboot to recovery after install twrp and managed to go in twrp but after a system rebout, then a recovery reboot, rom recovery is launched.
The twrp doc says that twrp patch rom to prevent this. What's going wrong ?
- Finaly, my 3rd issue is one I had with lineage 17.1 (and which make me try 18.1). I often have a "No sim card detected", and have to reboot to fix this, sometimes few times per day. Anyone has an idea where this problem could come from ?

Sometimes the wifi and the sim card don't work. Wait a few minutes for your device to cool down or restart it.

any chance for microg support?

 

[DualJoe]

lsposed/FakeGapps works for MicroG.

Android 11 Support by whew-inc · Pull Request #38 · thermatk/FakeGApps

I've deleted the whole package name service thing and used a simpler way to retrieve package names and labels. Both the package and app name can be logged this way. This fixes the original NullPoin...

@kyasu:
Can you put the msm8974-common vendor blobs to your repo as well?
Build fails:

device/samsung/msm8974-common/BoardConfigCommon.mk:103: error: vendor/samsung/msm8974-common/BoardConfigVendor.mk: No such file or directory

Bringing back ZRAM might be a good idea indeed as the SystemUI bug should be all upstreams fault. Its still not fixed completely but at least the lags are gone.
