“640K ought to be enough for anybody!” :laughing:

i9506, Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE Advanced (Cat4 150/50 Mbps),
it have a faster 4G and also faster CPU than the standard
i9505, Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE International (Cat3 100/50 Mbps)

Compare Samsung I9505 Galaxy S4 vs. Samsung I9506 Galaxy S4 - GSMArena.com

The device is less common…
I had bought one by error 2 years ago, but have solded it to a friend with LineageOS because the lack of /e/OS build.
I will rebuy it because she don’t use it.

Right, the i9506 also run’s fine with LOS 20 (T) which performs very well and nearly bugless I tested…

It exists also a LOS 21 build, but the videorecording fails and there are also some more bugs unfortunately…

I have the device in hands,
i will install 2.3-r this evening

I am currently building for Nougat LEGACY devices,
so, not enought left space on my 500GB dedicated HD for a “T” build attempt.

Using TWRP, “format /data” give me an error :


But system settings state that the phone in not encrypted

DON’T USE linked TWRP 3.5.2_9-0

To install e-2.3-r-20241114-UNOFFICIAL-ks01ltexx.zip
otherwise the file manager and download from Browser will not work
maybe also other features
