It was as of yesterday. I havent made any calls on the latest nightly yet
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] caloyzki:
Yes still in there. Also while using tango they cam hear me talking but i can't hear them. Looks like a big too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
In case you haven't checked today's chabgelog it mentions more fixes to signal strength and HDR camera support and some more tweaks to telephony stuff I don't understand.

Looks like sone improvements to a few of the most discussed issues of the past week or so in this thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] corkythetard:
Saw that! Can't wait to see what the next nightly has to offer. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Well the camera saves an hdr photo now, but hell if I can see any difference in the quality.

And there is no improvement in signal strength for me over yesterday. Might still be a work in progress.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cangri87:
The fixes for HDR haven't been applied yet. I'm guessing they get applied to tonight's nightly.

All of the things showing as being slated for tomorrow's changelog in that link are already showing up in the changelog for today's build on the cm updater and the cm downloads site.

All three changelog versions are coming from cm.

I wonder which one is right.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] layzer253:
There are a lot of references to Babel and Voiceplus, what is this madness??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tweezit:
The link cangri87 posted is the right link for what is in each nightly and yes I am sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
So the changelogs that come with the official downloads are wrong? Using 1 day in the future information?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ItsAaronR:
Good morning! Does the new hardware HDR capture crash Gallery for anyone else? Was super excited to see it merged :). Only other issues I've noticed is sometimes when I get a call there is no audio (seems random), and mic volume still seems very low in video recordings (camera app, and snapchat etc). Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
HDR isn't crashing gallery anymore. But I son,t think its working right yet, or I just don't know how to use it properly.

The call audio bug was still present as of the July 21 build.

How come hdr photos are very dark? Any propet sitting for hdr camera?

Stupid questions for this thread: I've heard tales that the IR blaster is working on the Verizon builds of CM. WHat are the odds, if any, of all the sensors eventually being present for this phone? I don't care much for the Samsung software features, but it would be nice to know that the IR, humidity, temp, sensors are all working, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] yogi2010:
For what it's worth, there are some market apps that work with the some of the sensors. No way for me to determine the accuracy yet, but it's pretty neat. This is Galaxy S4 Sensors:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
There is a guy making builds for the t mobile version that includes the fix to make the ir blaster work for our version too. I don't know how new the latest version is though

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] geekilized:
What app is that? Looks kinda cool
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] yogi2010:
Yeah, it is kinda cool! It's actually called Galaxy S4 Sensors, in the market
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] caloyzki:
What are the IR blaster do? Where i can go to activate it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Abolfazl:
I have had a problem with the last few builds. It may be completely unrelated to CM though.. I tried downloading a file last week when I had shoddy internet connection, it would say downloaded but I would get errors when I tried to open it. Now whenever I turn my phone on or just randomly, I will get ~10 notifications saying "Download complete" but even after I clear all of these notifications it comes back. I tried freezing Chrome but it still happens
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] coyttl:
The IR Blaster is basically a universal remote - the IR Blaster itself is a simple infra-red LED on the phone, when paired with an app that can send codes (Power On, Vol+, etc.) to your remote devices (TV, DVD, etc..)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] corkythetard:
Have you tried clearing cache for Chrome?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Abolfazl:
Yes but I am just wiping/restoring my stuff now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] beyondinferno:
Anyone have recommendations for APN settings? I've been having issues with having lte coverage and it dropping down to h/h+/dc and bouncing between those without reconnecting to lte. Although I always have lte in my room without issue... Not sure it it's tmo's network (really hope not since I left verizons stellar network to get unlimited data) or something on my end...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] corkythetard:
More than likely it's T-mobile. Between friends who have Metro and T-mobile(including myself), there have been massive outages nationwide. Tough work merging two completely dependent firmwares and signals. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Abolfazl:
Does Google Now/Search work on the latest build? I came from July 16 and just flashed July 23 and one thing I noticed is that Search always Force Closes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ItsAaronR:
So...I'm not seeing any of the recent camera merges when I flashed the latest build (I don't see the red-eye flash), shutter speed stuff, am I the only one?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 02CWRX:
Does Google Play not come pre-installed, or am I blind? Also, no extended power menu, is that correct also?

This is the first time I have decided to try and CyanogenMod ROM, and so far, I really like it. Just trying to get a feel for where stuff is, what's possible with it, etc.

EDIT: I figured out about the Google Apps. I got the nightly from the CM website, missed the Google Apps part. This looks like a pretty cool ROM!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Google apps have never come with Cyanogen and never will. This is at Google's insistence. You have to flash the GApps package separately to get Play and all that google stuff. The gapps download can be found in the first post of this thread. Just flash it in recovery.

The power menu is there. You have to enable developer options. To do this go to About Phone in Settings. Then tap on the Build Number until it enables developer options.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 02CWRX:
Thanks. I had figured out the Google Apps thing. I just enabled developer options a few minutes ago. I will check it out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] corkythetard:
Actually gapps did come packaged together with CM back in '09. :cool:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ThunderNoodle:
first post, so please be kind, and yes i did do a search. are the cm 10.1 nightlies as smooth and stable as other aosp roms or gpe roms in the development threads?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Depends on how you use it. Only you can decide if a ROM is stable enough for you.

But cm is VERY stable right now.

Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 02CWRX:
I have been using it all day at work and haven't had a single force close, random reboot, lag, or any other issues. Seems stable enough for me to leave it on there over night and see what happens.

As I said earlier, this is my first time with any Cyanogen ROM, and I really really like it. Both the UI work and the features. It seems really nice.

EDIT: I just noticed an issue, haha. The only thing I have seen so far is that while in a call, the proximity sensor doesn't seem to turn off the screen consistently. Sometimes it works fine, but then if I hold the phone with my shoulder, the screen comes back on for some reason even though it's still pressed against my head, if that makes sense. It's hard to figure out what's going on here. I don't remember having this problem ever before.

I have tried figuring out exactly what's going on, but I can enter a call, manually cover the proximity switch with my hand/finger, and the call screen stays active. I can go out of the call, launch AndroSensor, then cover the sensor and see that it is in fact seeing the sensor covered, go back into the call and do the same thing, yet the call screen remains on. Not sure how to explain it other than that, haha

EDIT #2: I have discovered turning the screen off has to do with motion of the phone also, and that seems to be where the problem is. When the phone is lying flat on a table, I can start a call, cover the sensor, and nothing happens. However, if I pick it up off the table and hold it vertically then cover the sensor, the screen shuts off. If I then move it horizontal (or anywhere other than a certain amount of "vertical"), the screen will come back on regardless of if the sensor is covered or not. Thus, if I hold the phone with my shoulder, it is no longer "vertical enough" to keep the screen off it seems. This makes it possible for me to accidentally dial numbers or hang up on people with the side of my face.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Konshu:
Gah video recording locks up in latest nightly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Immediately or after a long time? I just made a quick 30 second video and it seemed to work okay.

Also anyone still getting muted audio on occasional calls? There was a commit put in that is supposed to fix it. Its the one about a typo in audio policy. This was the problem and they got it fixed on the 9505 builds for the international S4, but they had to tweak the commit a little. Im not sure if today's build for the 919 got the updated commit or the original one. In any case if its still broke it will probably be fixed tomorrow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Abolfazl:
Does Google Search work for anyone with latest build?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Well the audio mute for some calls is definitely not fixed on today's build. Just had 2 muted calls in a row. Hopefully tomorrow will have whatever update solved this for the 9505
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshua.justice:
Hopefully the new focal app gets merged into this quickly, I'm debating switching back to Cyanogen and all the features of nemesis will be a nice addition.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheAnarchist1:
There is really no reason to switch away from CM at this point, except for wifi calling. These are most likely some of the most stable CM builds I have ever used, including signal, which is a HUGE hurdle for AOSP builds. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tweezydak1d:
I've looked everywhere does any one know how to switch the 4g.icon for the lte icon
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
You don't. They are 2 slightly different things. If you are on on an late tower it will show lte

Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tweezydak1d:
I'm pretty sure I'm on lte the stock Rom says I am and the Google edition showed I was
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] denverjoe72:
I am having this same problem. Inbound calls are being muted //maybe outbound too, not sure//. So far, I had to move my SIM into another phone just to make a call.

This is a serious problem, obviously. I am not able to do business if my phone does not phone!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Abolfazl:
More often than not, outgoing calls are muted for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
No kiddin'?

A quick review of the thread would have told you this is a known bug. There is a typo in some of the telephony code causing this. CM is testing a fix for the last few days and hopefully it willbe merged shortly.

---------- Post added at 10:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

I tested today's nightly. July 27 build.

The mute call bug is still present. Hopefully tomorrow. The 9505 variant has a patch for it in an experimental build but it hasn't been merged to the official code for that version either
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gparmar76:
The call bug is bigger than you think...Cyanogen devs have known about it since releasing Cyanogen for the S4...we've heard that it was going to get patched many times....its the only thing holding me back from using as a daily driver.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tikay00:
Is YouTube still glitching? The buzzing noise on certain videos.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Im going to say this one more time....

A fix has been found. People have been using an experimental build for the 9505 variant for 2 days and everyone is saying the bug has been squashed. The CM team is aware of the fix. As soon as its done testing it should be merged. That didn't happing yet today.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Abolfazl:
Is there a way to cherrypick the fix into our build currently?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
You can flash the 9505 experimental build and then flash a tmobile kernel. It should work.

Or just wait a few days. It will come.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Abolfazl:
Oh but we cant merge it into CM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
That build is CM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Abolfazl:
Ah whoops didn't realize you meant a CM build.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DeezNotes:
I flashed the 9505 build without flashing a t mobile kernel and it appears to be working Ok. After reading some threads I thought wifi or mobile data wouldn't work, but it does. It's there something else I should check for that might not work?

Side note: I has to remove the first assert command from the updater-script file before it would flash properly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
The call mute bug is still present as of the July 28 build. It took me 14 calls to trigger it dialing my office over and over again, but I got the bug.

Something has to be wrong with the fix the 9505 dev made for it to not be merged into the cm code yet. People have gone 3 days with the fix working perfectly. The fix must be causing some other conflicts or something that is preventing the cm team from merging it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chenxiaolong:
I'm guessing it's not merged yet due to it breaking speech-to-text.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
That makes sense. I read about that bug too but didn't realize they were connected.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gparmar76:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317040

There's a flash fix for the muted call issue...Sam3000 posted it and would like feedback...there are still some other issues with mic/speaker but this patch is supposed to address the muted call issue...which is the biggest problem as of now, I think.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Abolfazl:
Here is a direct link to his post.

I just looked at his updater-script, at it says

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "jflteatt" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "jflteatt"
|| getprop("ro.product.device") == "jfltevzw" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "jfltevzw"
|| getprop("ro.product.device") == "jfltexx" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "jfltexx");

Should we just manually add jfltetmo or manually add his Phone.apk?

Edit: Ok so yeah the original person did not add jfltetmo to the updater script. I have added jfltetmo to this and uploaded it to dropbox

Does it stop the muted calls?

Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chenxiaolong:
That seems to be a temporary workaround. The associated commit (http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/46326/) adds a 200 millisecond delay to avoid a race condition.

EDIT: Meaning it might not work if the CPU is getting hammered (eg. games, etc). I hope a proper solution will be found soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
I tried the fix and just made 15 calls to test it. All 15 had audio of ringing.

So this seems to work. It might not be ideal but it gets the job done. I couldn't find any adverse effects of it so far either. But then its only been about 45 minutes and I haven't made any real calls. I don't imagine it will do anything adverse if the only change is the 200 millisecond delay.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gparmar76:
Keep testing...I had the call bug show up 3 days after flashing CM...and made plenty of calls before it showed up...this may be a temporary fix but if the issue was small to begin with, maybe this is all that's needed? Does speech to text still work or is that broken with the fix?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
I don't know about speech to text. Ive never used it. I dont even know how to set it up to test, and I dont feel like learning tonight.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gparmar76:
If you have Google Search installed, go to language and input section in options...you will see an option to check Google voice typing...once enabled, you will see the microphone on the keyboard which will allow you to talk instead of typing things like text messages...quite useful actually.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Yup. That feature is not for me.

Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gparmar76:
Can anyone confirm whether speech to text is broken with the fix? It takes so long to setup a TW ROM which is why I'm asking before taking the CM plunge with the 30th nightly...the 30th nightly has a lot of changes by the way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Just flash it and test that 1 feature. It will take you 10 minutes, including the time it takes to back up your current rom so you can easily revert.

You could have been done by now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rrmzr1:
Yes it breaks speech to text. Skip the work. How hard is it to help someone instead of giving a speech on xda?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dorkdotcom74:
If you're having problems with speech to text you may want to reinstall or try running fix permissions. I use that little microphone multiple times throughout any given day. Never had a problem with it on any of the nightlies..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Abolfazl:
Is there any easy way to get transparent status bar on CM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Its very hard when you have the text to speech abilities completely disabled like I do. I explained to the other guy how to test it himself. Can't have your hand held all your life.

My sincerest apologies to the original poster asking about this. I didn't realize it was a different person whining up a storm about how I'm not helpful to people on XDA.

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

I have not seen one for the S4. And I have looked across all variants. In past experience with cm on other devices its always been rather elusive.

I don't understand what the challenge is from a code standpoint, though I'm sure there is a legitimate challenge. But I won,t do custom theming stuff at all. Its like a different artistic language that I don't speak.

The one time I saw the transparent status bar working on cm was on another device for an ICS build and it didn't scroll the wallpaper under it, the selection of wallpaper under the status bar stayed static while the rest of the wallpaper scrolled. So its a lot more complicated than just replacing the black bar with a transparent .PNG or something.

I'd love it too if you can find someone who has it working. I know there is a flashable mod for TW ROMs that apparently works. That might be a good start for someone who can rip the code apart and convert it to cm.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] coyttl:
Cabon ROM has one built in, looks pretty slick, I must admit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Isn't Cardon Rom based on CM and teh other various forks of CM?

If so I would assume that feature could be ported as a flashable add on to regular CM unless there is a major framework revision allowing it to work on Carbon Rom.

I don't want this to become a discussion of Carbon ROM here, but just for refference I'm playing with Carbon now and the transparent status bar only seems to work with the stock launcher (I'm only tried Apex as an alternate and it doesn't work, but it might work with other launchers that have the capability built in. I think Nova might)

And the transparency DOES work with themes installed by the theme engine. So that's cool.

As for Transparency on CM 10.1 here's a guide on how to create the mod.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2361902

I don't know how to turn that guide into a flashable zip for this ROM. But I will gladly help anyone test it who can compile it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] corkythetard:
Not sure if you're fond of Nova Launcher or not, but here's a link to the Nova Launcher thread. Nova Launcher version 2.1 Beta 4 has this feature implemented. It doesn't work on the lockscreen though.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Apex is supposed to have the transparency feature too. But it doesnt show up in settings unless unless you are on a stock s4 rom, which means it must be reading the build.prop.

I tried Nova just now and have the same problem. The transparency feature doesn't show up in the settings on CM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Abolfazl:
Yes you are correct, this works on STOCK S4, not on CM. I'm not sure if we can trick Nova into thinking we are on a stock s4 rom though.

---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------

I also found http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2383678 but I do not know if it applies.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
It has to be a build prop issue. That's the only way the app could know what phone it's on to eliminate the menu option for transparency in its' settings.

If it was strictly an incompatibility issue the menu option would still appear but it just wouldn't work.

Does anyone have easy access to a stock build.prop to compare to the CM build prop?

I don't know if modifying the build.prop would even work though because the rom might have to support the transparency.

On Carbon Rom Apex Launcher still doesnt give the transparency option but it can be activated in the ROM settings and works with Apex. Oddly though you can't have any other launcher installed or it breaks it....odd right?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] coyttl:
I'm going to throw a wrench into the works here -

I'm using Nova on Carbon, and that's when I first noticed the semi-transparent notification bar. :D

I didn't change any settings in Nova, I set it (though not quite sure which setting it was) in Settings -> Carbon -> ..uuh.. somewhere in there.

Note that I always uninstall any stock launchers after ROM flashing. Just habit for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
That's not a wrench in the works. I agree with everything you just said about Carbon. :good:

In fact I was just saying the same stuff in the Carbon DEV thread at the same tim eyou posted this. (Great minds thinking alike and all...)

As for the CM Official builds though, it's a toss up as to if modding the build.prop will work on not. My guess is that doign the mod will trick Apex into think it's installed on a stock S4 and give you the menu option to add transparency but it wont' actually work since the feature isnt' built into the ROM itself. That's my bet. It's worth a shot though.
