It is meant for the physical buttons. Kind of remapping option.

I'm using it for menu=recent apps / menu (long press)=menu. Also I have enabled the in app menu button.

But I'm thinking about enabling the navbar. An option for disabling the capacitive buttons would be nice.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 3bs11:
You can disable them manually if you like. Edit system/usr/keylayout/xxxxx_touchkey.kl and delete the lines for menu and back key. I would keep a backup of the file just in case. Works great for me.

I understand issues with Exfat, but are you sure ext4 cannot work? I ask because I use a 64gb ext4 formatted sd card on my galaxy note 10.1, and it has worked fine with cm10.1 since codeworkx added a change a few months ago, to what I thought was the base code. See link.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] victorator:
ext4 should work! exfat will not
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] birdr:
Great. I think ext4 gives a decent alternative if files bigger than 4gb are needed.

When I enabled nav bar in build.prop my settings changed and I get these options so no it's not there by default. Pie controls don't seem to work though.

Okay, sorry my fault. Thought we were here.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 3bs11:
No problem. You actually saying they're there made me go check and to my surprise they were but only because I enabled the nav bar. I didn't know it adapts depending on whether the nav bar is enabled or not.

battery drain

is it me or does this have a huge battery drain?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 3bs11:
I'm getting pretty good battery life but I don't have any numbers.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HazAnwar:
I'm using it as my main driver and have noticed the same. :( Was hoping it was just the fact that it was a new phone (first thing I did was load up CM10.1 as soon as I got it out of the box) and I haven't given it a few full charges. :fingers-crossed:

Battery from 100% to 10% in about 10 hours with minimal use... If this is permanent that's disappointing... May have to go back to the BlackBerry Z10. :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 3bs11:
I am currently on 11h 45 mins phone on and 3h 18 mins screen on while on data the whole time and have 24% battery life left. No modifications to kernel made and no juice defender or anything like that. I'm pretty happy with that.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HazAnwar:
I've attached the picture of the graph, apparently it was just under 9 hours to make it even better! I've been trying to turn the brightness down and everything down to conserve battery as well haha. This can't be it can it?! :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 3bs11:
What was your "minimal use"? and how much was your screen on time? I was using whatsapp/twitter/instagram/browser and I had auto brightness on.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] callum_88:
came here to say this.

lost about 17% in 3 hours on standby which seems a little too much compared to before
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HazAnwar:
Haha, pretty much exactly the same... WhatsApp, Chrome, Snapchat and just browsing the Settings... I wasn't using it that much; I was checking it every 10 minutes or so :p

sec_touch key.kl?

mine only shows virtual, wouldn't these delete my virtual mappings? or have I opened wrong file?

key 139 MENU VIRTUAL

key 158 BACKVIRTUAL

key 102 HOME

key 217 SEARCH
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 3bs11:
Yes thats the right file. Just delete the lines for menu and back virtual. This will stop them from working, is that what you want? I did that because I have a nav bar enabled.

Make a backup or take a screenshot so you know how to revert back. I imagine reflashing the ROM over your current setup without wiping will put the file back to it's original state but I'm not %100 sure.

I noticed when WiFi is on, it used loads of battery, i went to bed with 81% battery, 7hours later it was at 39%. Android OS was the sinner, CPU total was at over 7hours. With WiFi off ,i have absolutly no problems.

this may have been brought up before but it seems my phone is running at 1.5ghz where as my friends stock is at 1.9ghz. also ram has lower score. is there a known reason behind this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] live-evil:
What benchmark are you using? Are you sure its at 1.5ghz because according to system tuner the my phone's cpu does indeed go to 1.9 ghz. If your cpu is only running at 1.5ghz well thats why your scores are lower.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] callum_88:
antutu on both.

EDIT: in developer performance options says 1890mhz as max, don't see any issues.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] wessel596:
That's not good indeed have no idea what can cause that, bur i don't think you are running at 1.5 because the difference would be much bigger at 1.5 right?

Also this is pretty much unrelated to cm unless you have cm but if you don't, please post in Q&A

this message was brought to you by Samsung Galaxy S4(GT-I9505)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] live-evil:
benchmarks are pointless.... i just ran antutu and it says cpu 1890 x 4 etc. Cm have always had lower benchmark scores than stock though. The actual user experience does not differ apparently.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] callum_88:
yeah your right, I'm having no speed issues on cm and it is almost the same as stock benchmarks, was just curious on the difference.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lellouchftw:
Hey guys, just flashed this, but the camera's not working. To those on older builds with the camera working, did you test touchwiz vs AOSP camera? If so, what's the difference?

Where download?

Does it matter if I download it from the goo link or the way faster http://10.1.cmxlog.com/?device=jfltetmo

also keep up the great work :) just got the I9505 and have the cyanogenmod rom on it,, beside camera and nfc most seems working already :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] stesmi:
Well, the i9505 is jfltexx, not jfltetmo, jfltetmo = T-Mobile USA, so don't download anything for that and flash ..

cm-10.1-20130523-hax-i9505.zip

OK guys, today's build is a complete hack. It's based on the official build for jfltecan (with it's kernel) with changes and additions that I think will fix WIFI and APN problems. The camera should be fully functional as well! Try it and report. If everything goes well I'll implement everything into my builds tomorrow.

Please check:

-camera

-carrier names in notifications

-wifi should be working better (newer proprietaries)

ok updated from build from yesterday. worked after some attempts in recovery. camera works again! thx a lot vic! :) wifi does not work, not without deleting the file here for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HazAnwar:
Just installed it as well, WiFi for me is still not working without doing the rm /data/.cid.info command on terminal and the carrier ID isn't working for me either (23430 - Orange UK / EE UK) however the camera is working properly now. :victory: So nothing has really changed to me from the 20130519 build which is what I was running before. :p

I also had to try and install it like 4 times before it actually worked using TWRP; I was using CWM before but that had an even lower success rate of installing... Whats up with that?!

Keep up the good work Victor :) :good: :highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Stefan1980:
If you think, you can do a better job, nobody stops you :)

The phone has only been out, about a month. All things considered, it works great, and will get even better.

I was just correcting him. I've already donated to victorator to show my appreciation for his work.

Am I supposed to lie and say it works perfectly when it's not? I wasn't complaining I was stating a fact.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Erkan75:
Great post .. now we are all happy and dev mustn't change anything :) Posts like yours made me to change back to stock and wait instead of testing with all others ... and yes - I also tested cm and aokp from vic, and I also donated for his sgs4 ... you also?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Stefan1980:
Well stock sammy roms for sgs4 lags. Same as sgs3 when it first got out.

Noone said it is running perfectly.

Compared to stock sgs4 rom, it runs great.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HazAnwar:
Yes I am, and I've tried the latest CWM 6.0.3.2 as well as Phil's CWM which was based on 6.0.3.2. Similar results when trying to install the CM10.1 Nightlies ROMs through all three recoveries.

Never experienced such problems with CWM on any other device before and I've used it on 10+ devices... :confused:

I hope that it gets fixed in time because I prefer to use CWM over TWRP but TWRP has a slightly higher success rate for me at the moment.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] felek73:
So we are in the same boat ;) Good things is that Steve Kondik is going to take care of BT issue for qualcomm S4 ...I read that in s4 canadian thread...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 3bs11:
I've never had this much trouble with any device either but I guess we're just unlucky in that not many developers are working on this phone compared to other phones.

I've tried several recoveries and I always got an md5 mismatch when trying to restore a nandroid I made on the external but they work fine on the internal. Another problem with the recoveries for the i9505.

I had the htc one last week. I unlockeed bootloader flashed recovery and flashee custom rom. That was last week and ny first android phone. I switched the htc one for the s4 becouse i was still in my swtich period.

So i wanted too know how to do this on my s4.

@victorator Nice work updating the original post ... PNG's look sexy nice and clean layout.

thanks for the updated CWM. will give it a go.

Also QQ Why isn't this in original android development? Isn't Cyanogenmod an Original ROM? No matter anyway :)

O.T: This thread is filled with so much win, its a constant source of amusement. Thanks to everyone who contributes!

It's really funny people flash things that are still in heavy development and then complain or get angry... Nobody is forcing you to make modifications to your device.

I can live without Samsung air gimmicks and taking photos for now lol ... what really cooks my noodle is the locked launcher bar in my (AUS) Stock Optus ROM 4.2.2.

lol @having to mount system before flashing a zip (CWM or TWRP working is critical backup/restore and flashing ROM successfully) ... should probably wait for these to be fixed before installing.

@thunderserpent

1. This is normal behaviour (AFAIK) unplug your phone from the charger to turn it on .. then plug it back in.

2. It's an UNOFFICIAL CM Build off another phone ... what do you expect lol. These things will be fixed in time. I remember when first ICS build came out for I9000 porting from the Nexus S ... Phone was so laggy and no hardware acceleration or phone working .. just happy to see it boot. Really what @victorator has done is awesome for so much to be working already on the first build! (As has been meantioned already)

I guess we can gather from this thread is avoid flashing TWRP until its fixed and all features are working as normal. Although would be nice to have an official working CWM release too. Seems like both recovery have issues.

It's great to see that the (purple smearing) screen refresh/redraw(?) issues with touchwiz (Was apparent for me on MDE build) seems to have been fixed :D

--Update 10:18 PM 10/05/2013 @victorator

I'm still not able to get wifi working under CM. I've tried odin flashed a pre-rooted stock MDE rom from djembey (PDA: XXUAMDE, PHONE: XXUAMDE, CSC: OXAAMDE). And then flashed CM using TWRP. No wifi in CM.

Then I've tried flashing CM twice (wiped, flashed CM, reboot recovery, flashed again). Still no wifi.

For those who got wifi working, were you using regular stock roms? Maybe wifi only works if you come from a particular ROM? Just want to check if there is a pattern here. Any other help is welcomed as I desperately want to get wifi working on my CM based i9505.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] victorator:
Based on experiences and various stupid problems on previous Galaxy devices, I would try the following:

Boot into recovery, format every thing. Flash a stock rom. Boot it up, turn wifi on. Flash a recovery and format system/data/cache and then flash CM10.1
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] victorator:
CWM works fine! I will update the op so that people use it instead of TWRP.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HazAnwar:
It's still quite new so hopefully as time progresses we'll see more support like with the S3 in particular the international LTE version. :fingers-crossed:

On CWM I seem to get some permission errors, I was thinking maybe I hadn't formatted my SD card correctly but even on internal memory I'm getting the same results. TWRP doesn't give me any error messages kind of just restarts my phone or says failed lol.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 3bs11:
I might be experiencing that too. It's definitely not as smooth as you'd expect on a device with hardware like the S4.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HazAnwar:
Probably just me but has anyone else noticed that after installing each nightly you have to reinstall Google Apps? 3rd time it's happened when I've updated, perhaps it's to do with the recovery errors when installing which results me having to attempt to install numerous times before it actually installs?

Downloading Google Apps now again to get everything running smoothly; hopefully it installs first time! :fingers-crossed:

I've noticed blurryness too.. It looks a bit like a really old TFT with high latency. The obvoius delay with pixel off -> on (black -> something) makes me think it's the pixel responsiveness with this display that sucks... which is a real bummer given that the display is one of the big reasons I got this phone ("once you go OLED" I thought, coming from the S2).

It also seems lower brightness is achieved by some sort of pulsing/flickering. This is most noticable if a few bright thin lines are displayed against a black background and you wave the phone around a bit and look at the traces of light that occurs.

I really hope something software related is behind these artifacts, but it doesn't feel like it.
