I understand this is an APLHA, I’m just providing some help on bug reports. My service provider uses APN’s to allow connections to Mobile Data and I’ve found that Mobile Data doesn’t work in 2G, 3G or LTE modes. I am unsure whether it’s because Mobile Data itself isn’t working or if it’s the APN’s that aren’t working.

Hi @adsumitovi Thanks for your feedback on this ROM. I really appreciate that. :)
See, I am a father of one and also being on a full time job, I get hardly any time to help you guys. Similarly, I am sure that every developer is also busy in their world.
I just wanted to bring one thing to your attention that the developers are doing all this as a volunteer work and they are not at all getting paid for their work. Asking for ETAs (Estimated Time of Arrival) or requesting them to fix the problems as fast as they can does not really sound cool.
I am sure kyasu is definitely working on the builds to bring a fix for you. :)

Hello,
I’ve patched the lineage-15.1-20180821-UNOFFICIAL-ks01ltexx.zip on my i9506. The first boot is fine and lineageos 15.1 is successfully loaded. Next, when I want to reboot or switch off/on my S4, it bootloops at the “Samsung Galaxy S4” screen but never enters to the lineageos logo…
I’ve tried to do a factory reset, it works, also just for the fist boot, next… still bootloops..
With a previous unoficial lineageos-14.1 all is working fine…
Anyone had this issue and found a solution to solve it ?
Thanks
