im using chenglus one
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] flo110:
It doesn't really matters if you get Status 7, just reboot in recovery again and flash the cm again without wiping anything.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] worker99:
tried that still does same thing. I feel like getting rid of the phone and using the xperia z again :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] flo110:
Then follow this:

Mounts an Storage > format /cache

Mounts an Storage > format /system

Mounts an Storage > format /data

Go back > install zip from sdcard > choose zip drom external sdcard > install it

If you get Status 7, install the zip again, without exiting the recovery(do it until it says installation complete)

That's how i did it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] daylight95:
Works fine for me. You're just doing it wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] worker99:
im doing it right im factory reseting, wiping system data and cache and dalvick cache and it still does the status 7. If i go to install again, it switches the phone off i have to take battery out and restart phone that way.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] flo110:
Just try to do exactly what i said, it surely works that way.

You don't have to factory reset

Start recovery(CWM)

Mounts an Storage > format /cache

Mounts an Storage > format /system

Mounts an Storage > format /data

Go back > install zip from sdcard > choose zip drom external sdcard > install it

If you get Status 7 do the next steps:

The recovery will now work very slow, but be patient. Go back to install zip from sdcard and install it again.

The recovery will now work very slow, but be patient. You should now get Installation Complete.

The recovery will now work very slow, but be patient. Go back and select Reboot System

Now it should boot cm
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] worker99:
tried your way did status 7 second time it did status 7 again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] flo110:
Weird, did you try to boot anyway?

You can try downloading the latest build again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] worker99:
it works!!!! had to restart phone and than it installed it. just hope it dont do a boot loop

edit #2 working fine thanks for all your help guys much appreciated
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
How stable is this guys and battery life compared to stock so far? Will go ahead and install if all is good. HATE touchwiz but need it to be stable at least, dont care about NFC not working.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] victorator:
Only know bugs are NFC not working and bluetooth calls not working.

The rest is reported stable.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
Great stuff, in it goes then.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] daylight95:
Only pricks use bluetooth headsets anyway.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] victorator:
Can someone report if the graphics bugs are gone?

I noticed your signature. Which one do you prefer. The one of the S4?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
I would like to know that too... In which apps appear the black glitches?

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
Honestly... The One is better, it feels like a premium phone and acts like one. S4 doesn't feel like one nor currently acts like one with the odd lag here and there. Thats just my personal opinion though, others will think differently but I think HTC nailed it near enough (other than the long recharge time). It wont sell as much as the S4 though sadly. I love both phones though, dont get me wrong. Z was a good phone too but sold it as the battery life was horrible. Installing CM on my S4 now :)

I had status 7 errors on Chenglu's build #3. Reverted back to victor's cwm, flashed 16th, and all is well!

Black flickers are gone for good as well :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] victorator:
AWESOME! Progress! Without the phone! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] boqonx:
The CWM is still a bit flaky though. Formatting system took ages and sometimes i had to try a few times to do certain things.

But of course the black flickers fix is brilliant :)

no wifi still gotta type in terminal
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lazy79:
use a script that starts when the device boots.

#!/system/bin/sh

rm /data/.cid.info

// I think thats the correct script.. at least, should be. Then the file gets deleted after a reboot immediatelly and wifi start to work automatically. Only WhatsApp will get on your nerves after a reboot but maybe there is also possible to let the time set immediatelly after reboot - and I guess in some days or weeks, this workaround is sure history for some. Dunno, I tried to come from the exact base like another user without wifi problem, but also had no wifi again. Its strange ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nevertomorrow:
Pardon??
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lazy79:
create a textfile with content:

#!/system/bin/sh

rm /data/.cid.info

put it in this dir (init.d)

system/etc/init.d

give it the correct permissions (I know its now not quite correct but you stay safe with 777 lol), then reboot and the script should run after the boot process has ended and wifi should be automatically activated. Please, if I am wrong, somebody should correct me (thats why I suggested chmod 777 ;) ) (if init.d dir does not exist, create it)

Try to reflash. I have the latest build and i don't have wifi problems.

To victorator:

I found a problem (not important, just to let you know) about the lock sound. When i lock the screen, the sound has a little delay.

And about wifi: I have a dlink wifi here at home, and it works (it worked on almost every wifi), but when i go to school we have there an asus router - i can't connect to that one. Any suggestions? (and yes, i could connect with stock and other cm builds)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nevertomorrow:
Should I do full wipe can't I just update!??
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] flo110:
Just "update", it should do the trick.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nevertomorrow:
Yeah I did. Kept getting app closed unexpectedly. Shukl I just update to it again and try WiFi again but 100% it doesn't work

Right sorry about that confusion. All back on now and glapps installed all working okay noe Sept WiFi on boot. I'll try what the other gheeze said and see if that enables it from boot after I work out how to do it Lol.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] flo110:
Just do that if everything else fails.

Hey victorator, I just donated some $ as a thank you for your great work!

Really appreciate your skills, even without the phone! I can imagine how it will be when you'll buy one :)

Cheers. :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] aHcVolle:

haven't found a bug yet :)

is it only Placebo or is the screen brightness crazy when going to 100% manually?

I just changed the DPI of the rom, it looks nicer now, more apps on a page in app drawer. (400 dpi)

I tested 220 DPI and it gave me a tablet look. It was really cool, but the text is too small.

;)

Those were fixed.

you're right, the carrier name is shown wrong but i don't have black glitches

this is really awesome, imho runs already better than the last nightlies on my i9300 :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] dwightvanbentem:
Very smooth indeed the last edition of this ROM.

I'm back to stock however since I still got the no WIFI bug and the fix gives me the TIME bug with whatsapp :(

Happy to try the new installation when it's uploaded!

keep up the good work!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] flo110:
But the no wi-fi bug is no more, or is it gone only for me? xD

Just try to reflash a few times.

And about whatsapp, ignore that - it works anyway.

Carrier name is ok for me (Vodafone RO). Try to "update" your rom:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] joelvn:
Yes WhatsApp works but you do get the annoying notification when you boot your device. For some not a huge problem, but I understand some people don't like it:p

Hi victor, is there a way to compile a special recovery that dumps the verbose outputs to the sdcard? Maybe from there we can trace what's going on in a better way.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] flo110:
That's weird.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lazy79:
Yes indeed. I tried it myself already several times. Coming from MDN, MDM and ME2 Base but every time, Wifi did not work - just after deleting this file. I even did all steps yesterday that were done by another member (for him, wifi worked) but wifi did not work for me then. So I`ve set up a small script now which deletes the file after booting the device lol lazy guy here.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] flo110:
Did you try flashing a previous build (15 may or something) and then update to the latest one?

Just saying, it might work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lazy79:
yeah, also tried two times in the last days, but did not solve it. I am not sure why - I would say its the base from which the users are coming from but I really used clean stock bases and still, did not work, so I am lost. lol its no huge deal, the script works nice, only whatsapp sucks with the date stuff. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] flo110:
I came from Omega v3 and i don't have any problems. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] live-evil:
hahaha so much stuff doesn't make any sense on this phone. Recoveries that kind of work but not in any way consistently. I guess it's because its new and so many devs don't own the damn thing.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] boqonx:
I came directly from MDE base and I have absolutely no wifi issues requiring fix every reboot.

My date/time does mess up after each reboot though.

One request. If the operator name doesn't show up for you please let me know what number shows up and what operator name should be there.

I've just finally managed to flash build 16. Only problem I have is that Google Play says that my device isn't compatible with some apps which it used to be when I was on stock ? For example es file Explorer and even Gmail. I'll try to flash build 17 tomorrow or something I don't feel like that while hassle with Cwm anymore :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lazy79:
got error 7 as well with one of these recoveries about six times, flashed vic`s latest recovery version and it worked, but finally, have to do a restore of the backup, because some apps were missing, market force closed immediatelly. will try to update again, directly with vic`s recovery this time and this should work then without problems, hopefully ;)

was somebody successfull from updating 16 -> 17 (Build from today) ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] om22:
Give me only one reason why we need another kernel :cool:

I really prefer stable and simple Kernels.

Why do you need gpu oc? It's so fluid already for example modern combat 4 multiplayer never drops under 60 fps.

I prefer the stock cm kernel thats currently in the rom. Went through many custom kernels on my Xperia Arc S but the included cm kernel is the stablest one.

Best governor is interactive - it's simple and performance/battery optimized.

IO scheduler ROW is also good so why you need another one?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] worker99:

Don't want to use a custom kernel? Then don't use one. Simple as that. Other people want one so deal with it.

Edit: tried to set it back to stock dpi that didn't help. Reflashing Gapps did neither :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] om22:
I meant I am sorry if my statement sounded like i was forcing someone to use the included kernel.

You can use the Kernel you like. I just wanted to show that every complicated kernel will have more Problems which isn't worth the little performance improvement.

Everyone complains about problems but also everyone wants more governors and schedulers.

Many tweaks don't mean that your phone is actually faster. It could even get slower with too many tweaks applied.

Thats why I prefer simple kernels more.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] flo110:
Just flashed it. Took me about 3 mins.

First try error 7 like usual

Then I restarted the recovery and flashed again - installation complete.

So it works... I hate that I have to reflash gapps every time.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lazy79:
thanks for the info! I see.. yeah I was surprised when it finally worked that gmail didnt work, g+ was missing (ehm yeah) and even digical calendar was gone lol I dunno.. I now tried vics recovery, the other build from the other thread and the touch recovery, but every time it finished updating (after some reboots, errors and so on) these apps are missing/not working - ok gmail.. but digical? I dont get it lol. I wait for the next build.. gapps have to be re-flashed when updating? Mh.. ok.. but I am waiting for next buid now..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] flo110:
Go back to stock and reflash everything, I can guarantee that this build works, even gmail and other gapps.

And BTW I'm using chenglu's recovery.

And if it matters cm ROM and gapps are on external SD
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] daylight95:
This is what you need to do:

1. Change DPI back to 480

5. open play store and accept TOS

6. re apply DPI changes

Works for me. Hope it helps.

Selecting "wipe dalvik cache" does nothing now. I can't install a rom because without wiping the dalvik cache all I get is a never ending cyanogenmod logo. And for some reason it's a ****ing pain in the arse to use odin to install recoveries because it takes me reinstalling the drivers 3-5 times just to be able to write the the phone after failing to write. And if I can't get that to work then I'm left with a phone that won't go into recovery.

SO basically where I'm at now after ****ing about with a custom kernel is I can boot recovery, but I can't wipe the dalvic cache. ADP is a POS and won't detect my device.
