[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][11] LineageOS 18.1 [tblte][trlte][trlteduos]

[diabl0w]

is anyone developing kernels for aosp 10 for our devices? loving this rom but the performance is quite bad, can't play autochess it is just too laggy. rooted TW marshmallow runs the game fine. confirmed with benchmarks where LOS17.1 is running at only about 60-70% of the performance that I can get from stock kernel

edit: prime benchmark scores for LOS are in the 8,000's while stock kernels are getting scores over 13,000

edit2: the gpu is performing just as well or even better on LOS from openGL benchmarks, so it seems that it is just a really bad cpu issue, mostly with multithreading

update: @ripee so I didn't think this would actually change anything but switching to "ondemand" cpu governor made a HUGE difference. both in benchmarks and in real world experience. maybe there is an issue with the interactive governor implementation?

Twrp 3.4.0.0 installed. I successfully installed rom, Gapps, magisk, and wiped telephony in twrp. I noticed my battery level go from 100% down to 20-40 or so in a matter of minutes then shuts down. It was bad battery cells so I replaced the battery with an extended one. The extended battery is 7500mAh but on cpu-z it says its somewhere in the low 3k's. Is there a way to change the mAh that is being displayed? A system file that I can edit or a zip file I can flash to show the correct calibration? The battery life reflects the 7500mAh accordingly but I would love for it to be recognized system wide.

New guy here.
First i want to thank @ripee for your hard work and thus helping keep this awesome device alive. I have been using your 16.1 sometimes on one of my devices and i really appreciate your work!

Now trying to make 17.1 work (1017 build) and be my daily driver. I can say my Note 4 has never felt so snappy! It's functionality is basically quite sufficient for my needs, that are quite basic. I find battery issue not so bad and it doesn't really bother me. However the sim card issue is rather bad. After couple of days use it just starts not recognizing the sim card. At first rebooting helps, then switching the flight mode on and off, but shortly after nothing helps anymore. Not even factory reset. Tried another sim, same result.
Came directly from 6.0, clean flash, altho i didn't update modem and bootloader before flashing. The motherboard has been replaced on the phone, i remember it was from Orange.

I did update modem and bootloader at last and was about to reflash the 17.1 and then noticed that there is a new build 1205 so i am of course going to try that one out. Tried to download it for couple of days now but i always get the message that the downloading quota has been exceeded. Am i doing something wrong? Tried three different browsers and always the same thing.
Should i wait couple of more days or is there anything i can do to download it right away?

FIRST OF ALL
If you cant still download the rom from Drive, try to import the zip file to your drive
click on it and in the upper right menu of the drive find a ''add to my drive'' or ''add shortcut to my drive''
after that from MY DRIVE, you will be able to download the rom without the limitations anymore

About ''no sim card'' notification
I have found out the flashing this little zip (WipeTelephonyProviderData) in TWRP and boot up, seems to help in detecting sim card by the phone.
Give it a try
It wont heart your phone, its safe, I have tried it and you can open it and inspect what exactly its wiping in order to help your phone detect the sim card


****WARNING*** some user has reported that after using this script, lost connections entirely in his phone. Not sure it was script fault, as it did worked for many others, but keep in mind it can happen, so be sure you want to take the risk

 

[SeaFargo]

When I am not using my phone, I remove the battery. A bit of a hassle but the ROM is solid.

I use TWPR turn off feature instead.

By the way should be interesting to wite down an .sh that reboot in recovery mode and automatically run a second script to shut down. In that way you can tap an icon and have the phone properly switched off. Maybe even many force-off command works for what concerns the power off battery drain issue but isn't safe to force-off, obviously.

 

[SeaFargo]

Is there a way to change the mAh that is being displayed?

First of all I have some difficult to belive the new battery really is 7500mAh!! More than a double of capacity inside the same space ... hum.... Anyway before changing the system settings I would make an affrodable and effective mAh evaluation . You can use the poowerfull and root compliant 3C Battery Manager .

Thank you very much for the advice, @logosA. I was on my way to try and then i tried one more time directly from the downloading link and it went. Thanx anyway.
Will try and give your file a go too, thanx for that as well!

Here is a better picture of the battery in case your vision is impaired. I normally only buy electronics and accessories that can be verified as what is being listed. I am using 3c AIO toolbox pro to configure the battery and I will run some tests tomorrow after I recharge and recalibrate.

 

[diabl0w]

@ripee can you link the source code for this firmware?

@logosA What the HELL was that script you suggested??
After i twrped it the phone lost ALL service. Before i flashed it there was a small cross-sign over those signalbars, it could at least read the provider's SIM card but found no signal. Now it just says 'no service' no matter what i tried. Reflashed old modem, nothing. Flashed back to MM (AnonVendettas version), and still the same. Trying to get the phone to at least find networks but it comes up with nothing. Not even 2G. Dead. It don't let me edit the connecting points for internet. The phone runs otherwise normally in every other aspect.

The hell do i do now??

Wow, great battery pack!! I didn't realize it's dimension at first sight. I'm looking for a new battery also, but in the same dimension range. In any case your new battery is really interesting! Let us know about your tests ...

[bug report] [SM-N910F] (clean installation):

- crash when using the torch from the switch on-off button. In particularly if you turn on the torch by holding (shorthly) the switch on-off button than torch switch on, but if you try to switch off by the same way the phone force shut down. The only way to avoid force shut down is to complete login to the screen than use the notification bar button to turn off the torch.

- Power drain while phone is off (about 35-40% in about 8/9hr). I've temporarly solved rebooting in TWPR and switch off from there.
Should be nice to write an .sh that reboot in recovery and automatically run a zip to shoot down.

the script the zip is running is this:


ui_print("");
ui_print("Wiping TelephonyProvider data...");
ui_print("");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
delete_recursive("/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony");
delete_recursive("/data/user/0/com.android.providers.telephony");
delete_recursive("/data/user_de/0/com.android.providers.telephony");
unmount("/data");
ui_print("Done.");
ui_print("");

you can see that the only thing it does is deleting the previous data provider could have stored in your phone, letting phone to create them from the beginning.
If after a couple of reboots, sim card isnt still recognized, I think you should
boot in TWRP, wipe cashe , dalvik AND system
flash again Rom and Gapps (magisk too if you are using it)
and reboot to system.
I have just reflash it in my phone and after booted up, my phone now sees the sim card and everything is working ok for me
also take a look in settings/ Network & Internet/ mobile network> advance> Access Point Names and make sure to set them to defaults:
upper right corner(3 dots) > set to default
reboot and try again
I am sorry if that cause you trouble, it wasnt my intention to

i know it wasnt.
but i tried everything i could come up with, flashed original marshmellow and LOS 17.1, fiddled with all kinds of mobile settings, tried flashing several modems... Still dead. Bloody thing can now not find any mobile networks at all. And the simcard works in other phones.
And godamit i just refurbished it and made it nice and shiny..
So i suggest being wee bit more carefull with recommending that script to other users..

A few years ago, I had trouble with my SIM doing the same. I went to Verizon and got a new SIM. It's free and it takes very little time. I had troubles just like you were explaining. With these ROMS that were designed for other models, it's not unusual to have an issue or two. I too have been testing this ROM with a SIM card and had trouble with it showing up sometimes. Rebooting sometimes brought it back, but not always.

I also have a Verizon Note 4. I've had issues with it not finding the SIM upon reboot. So I flashed the same zip file this morning just to test and see how it works. It's something I've done before on other VZW N4's (I own several, this is one of 4 on my desk right now but the only one with a SIM). It's not destructive. It just clears out the old data which is rebuilt from the SIM upon a reboot. I wrote something similar a few years ago when dealing with the N7 ports and SIM loss. I had forgotten about it, but it worked then too. I wiped cache/dalvik before rebooting.

I can attest that the zip file works as designed. I just sent myself a MMS and SMS message and they went through to my Note 10. Just called myself. It works. Just rebooted again. SIM was found, even says Verizon in the upper right instead of 123456, which happens on the first reboot. One suggestion, make sure you're set to Global instead of LTE/CDMA in the Preferred Network Type.

FYI. I rebooted 4 times in a row. It proudly shows LTE when I'm not on WiFi, each and every time! Thanks @logosA for giving life to my dead brain cell from so long ago. I had forgotten about this fix. We still get the Maintenance Mode upon reboot sometimes, but that's a VZW and Kernel issue. Not related whatsoever. Now I just might recommend this ROM to my neighbor, who also has a N4, but and older OS. It's now stable enough for everyday use in my opinion.

i am aware that i am risking to come across as mean, which is really not my intention, but i feel compelled to try and make myself more clear:
same. SIM. works. on. other. phones.
i am not on verizon, never have been.

flashed several different stock roms from sammobile (created an account just for that now.. ), nothing restores it's ability to read sims.

And apparently other SIMs do not work on this phone anymore.
which in my book basically means i got myself a fancy remote.

so recap:
phone before the script - reading sims, poor signal on LOS 17.1. Decent signal on MM.
phone after the script - not reading sims, no service. on any OS.
so, again, i would suggest being more carefull when suggesting that script to others. at least not advertising it as harmless.

what about baseband?
Is baseband ''unknown'' if you install ''phone info *Samsung'' app from palystore and take a look in it?
or in settings > about phone?
Do you have a previous TWRP backup with EFS and modem, that you could try and restore and see if that could help you?
About suggestions, yes, I know its a risk to trust some unknown dude over the internet and take his word for it.
But I want to ensure you that in all these years of my involving in Android custom roms, I have never, ever, suggested anything that , I first have not tried myself on MY phone and be sure no harm could be done.
I did the same with this script, many times, thats the reason I talked about it here.
I am sorry it didnt worked for you, I really am

hey, don't worry about it pal. i really appreciate you owning the situation, it was the previous post not yours that ticked me off a bit since it had little bearing on my situation. i believe you tried it on your own device first, normal folx usually do. ;-)
but what do you do, you win some, you lose some... there is always a risk when you fiddle with these thingies. not like it's my only N4. it sucks mostly since i never rendered a device useless before. apart from destroying x amount of screens, of course...
i'll probably have to pop in new motherboard. and perhaps it was the motherboard that is to blame. it is already a replaced one, got it from china and it seemed a weee bit sluggish but fully functional.

as for device itself, yes there is a baseband in settings. Twrped Modem backup was the first thing i tried, no difference. haven't saved the EFS. First time in history i didn't backup all the partitions, so i guess that is the lesson for the day.. Even tho i'm thinking that it's not certain it would've made a difference in this case.

the motherboard came with french version of Orange carrier. Found an original stock on sammobile and slapped in, no dice. but i noticed a strange sign next to the 'no service'-sign. Anyone knows what it means? perhaps it can have something to do with the malfunction because it appears on several ROMs and dissapears together with no service sign when i switch on the flight mode.

btw - i still think that script should not be advertised as 'harmless'.
