LineageOS 16.0/17.1 for Samsung S4

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device. All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. If you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.

Code:
 * [B][U]Your warranty is now void.[/U][/B]
 * We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or your getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you.

Possibly other things that aren't listed.

Android 16.0
bug that bt turns itself off and on again by itself
the time span I can't say for sure.
it only happens when no music is played
tested with JBL Duet BT

Creates a full backup of the system

Installation Clean :

Before you begin, save
Remove the PIN protection and then restart for TWRP recovery.
Erase data under Advanced (do not format data - this will erase the internal memory)
Delete system and cache under Advanced

Flash ROM + Gapps or nanodroid
Optional - Flash supported root
Restart

!!! OTA-update is like in all my Roms set up !!!

Updates can be downloaded and installed via lineageos_updates on your mobile phone.
if it should not be possible to install the update automatically or you want to install it manually, proceed as follows,
(Selects in twrp) install/selects memory/internal memory/parent folder/data/lineageos_updates.
chooses the build and installs it and everything else you want to install and restarts after that.

for addonsu userandroid 16.0:

to activate root navigate to Settings->About Phone and tap on build number 7 times,
go back to System on developer options and scrolls to root access and activates it.
to be able to boot from the power key to recovery on long press, it simply activates it in the developer options under Extended Restart.

If I flash to twrp 3.2+ I can't load twrp on my m919 to start the OS install.
It only loads on 3.1.1.0 or below. But if I try to install lineage 15.1 on 3.1.1.0 or below, I get an error 7 and can't install the OS.

Seems like I can't install it either way because of a conflict with twrp and lineage versions. Is anybody able to get around this?

I had the same problem and used this successfully
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...p/jdcteam-twrp-3-3-0-0-custom-builds-t3925619

Some report success with this

Hi,

I'm using lineageos 16 on my 9505, but I'm missing ANT+ -Support for using my cycling-sensors. Will this coming or what shall I do to work with it?
Thanks for a reply.

Hi guys!

I tried to install the rom but my S4 seems to be in bootloop (it keeps rebooting, showing the classic Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 singature) and I don't know what to do, since i have all set up (twrp 3.2.3, latest firmware I9505XXUHQK1, did all the wipe for a clean installation).

Any suggests?

Up. None can help me? Basically it reboot, buzzes twice then start again and again.

Well, I flashed TWRP 3.2.3 via Odin, did full wipe then uploaded rom and gapps (tried both via Odin and with microsd), flashed these 2 zips, reboot and then its stucked. I also tried with different modems and bootloader like xxuhqk1, xxuhqc2, xxuhpk1/2 but the result is always the same. The only 2 things that work are TWRP installing (I had to install it many times cause I went back to stock firmware to check stuff like what is the actual version, and it’s with snapdragon 600 etc) and firmware stock installing (but now WiFi on stock firmware doesn’t work, I ****ed up prolly with modems and bootloaders...).
