I think that is because of the Exynos octa hype. The S4 has almost no devs working on it because of the community support by Samsung (read as no support). Most of the devs are working on Xperia devices, HTC One and Oppo Find 5 it seems. Even Codeworkx got an One and they released CM10.1 for it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Schrotty35:
The I9505 have a better documented CPU but the I9500 a full working cwm and we have a very unstable cwm.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
First we need a FULLY working cwm, then we can move forward

You're explaining this like the phone has been out a year. It's been out for 2 weeks. You can't expect developers to **** money and get the device.

You get what you're given with the S4. In some countries you get the i9500 only, in others you get the i9505. Just wait. There will be a fully working CWM & TWRP eventually when the developers get their devices.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] harise100:
Correct me if I'm wrong.

The odd thing is, that non of the active developers for the I9505 actually own the device.

It's a miracle we got this far. In every tutorial on how to make a kernel or ROM for a new device, they tell you, you should get various files from YOUR DEVICE!

There is a bug that i don't think anyone else has noticed, when you go to the apps page, the arrow on a bag in the top right is meant to take you to play store but it doesn't work on latest build.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] simondavies315:
Ok I see the donate button when viewing the thread in my browser but people using the xda app won't be able to see it.

You are going to have to set up a plegie fund or something as the PayPal page is in Polish and god knows how I change it to English. You need to make it easy for everyone to donate

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] boqonx:
Hey mate, did you flash via TWRP/CWM? If it was CWM, did you use the latest one? (05/13/2013)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] victorator:
It's only called galaxys3settings. It hasn't been adapted for S4 yet. You will have to wait a bit for that. I am compiling another build, this one should be the best as it will contain updated blobs, using a better defconfig for the kernel.

Keep an eye out ;)

Also thank you very much to the 2 donators I have so far. I have listed them in at the end of the 2nd post. I am roughly 580$ away from getting an S4 :)

[MENTION=1372722]victorator[/MENTION]

what kernel did you base this from?

is this built from source or from samsung's old rootable kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] victorator:
Everything is built from source.

Kernel source is Cyanogen /kernel/jf with defconfig jf_eur.

Can someone confirm newest build working? Should be great, I updated lots of things in it, compared to what cyanogen (Steve) uses for jfltetmo.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] victorator:
I will leave this version online, it's built using new libs and .so from ME2 firmware.

It's possible that it will work for those who switched from it.

Please report. Remember I don't have the device.

I'll post another build built with the older libs in some time.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] shadyshaun:
Morning All -

I've tried the latest build, and cannot get it to work.

First try - System 7 error

Downloaded again

Then after CWM freezing a few times managed to get it to install.

Upon booting, it just black screens as per others reports. :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] victorator:
OK. I removed this version. Wait for a new one and remember to report :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] boqonx:
Could it be because the new blobs and libs are incompatible with the currently-released kernel source?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] victorator:
Could be. Or it's some gfx .lib. Don't want to guess which one, trial and error while waiting for someone to report would take ages. I'm rolling back to the old libs.

New build coming soon.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] victorator:
First of all thank you to all of you who have donated!

I didn't expect so much support! I only do this for fun and to challenge myself.

I checked the libs and it seems they are not compatible with the current sources, I have rolled back to the older ones. Delete the build you might have downloaded and get the new one. You can consider it as stable as it gets for now.

Can't really do much more, I have to wait for Steve Kondik (cyanogen), I doubt that he will accept any changes to jf-common as he is the maintainer of that branch.

As always

please report if the build is working

, and use the recovery that works the best for you (i have supplied a new version of recovery also, please check if it helps). Help each other out people! Report the version of firmwares you are coming from, what steps you took to install (which recovery), and problems along the way. The more info the better.

I'll be back with another build soon!

Low benchmark on Antutu

Hi Victorator,

I have tried Antutu running the "yesterday" version of cm-10.1-20130513-UNOFFICIAL-i9505.zip and I am constantly getting lower scores than with the original ROM. I suspect this is happening since in Antutu the CPU clock always shows as 1512 Mhz (x4) as opposed to the 1890 Mhz (x4) in original Sammy ROM.

Any idea why this might be happening? I am also experiencing a bit of a slow-down (perceived) while running Nova Launcher Prime (as opposed to the smoothness I initially got running it on cm-10.1-20130510-UNOFFICIAL-I9505.zip.)

Thanks for the help and for the good work in maintaining this CyanogenMod.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jazzypit:
hello victorator, the build 14 work well
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] victorator:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] simondavies315:

I have successfully flashed v14. Still the same low score + weird CPU frequency in Antutu (22650points [MENTION=1528666]151[/MENTION]2Mhz (x4 cores).

Any idea why the CPU frequency is "possibly" set incorrectly?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] felek73:
Hey guys , could you please give up with this benchmark ? Is this ROM fast and smooth ? Yes , it is , so what's the point ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] dehnhaide:
Could you please be so kind an refrain from suggesting how others should test a new build? Benchmarking is part of any common sense applied to testing beta ROM versions. Benchmarking is not about bragging about the scores one gets. It's about testing stability, making sure HW is correctly running & identified.

Hence here I was only trying to point out that I suspect the drop in Antutu points is directly related to the lower CPU frequency as seen in Antutu.

Victorator: camera looks broken. I can take a pic yet immediately after I am greeted with a "Gallery has stopped" message and only a blank file is saved in the Gallery.

By the time he gets enough money the official cyanogen dev team will already have had a dozen stable builds. Not really much point getting him the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] simondavies315:
Maybe so but he is working hard and in my view deserves one regardless. I've programmed myself in C++ and it can be a ball ache hitting bugs and spending hours wondering what is causing them. Don't even start me on pointers they are evil
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
Well I know Faryaab is working on a I9505 and I9500 versions closely with the rest of the Cm team. Victorator a has done well with not having the phone and getting this out to people early. Hopefully he gets the phone soon anyways.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] simondavies315:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] boqonx:
Around 10-15 minutes max. Sometimes it freezes on me on the same process, forcing me to power-cycle the phone and re-enter recovery.
