I finally got cwm to install the latest build. These recoveries are so broken.

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

Okay have got a weird error. On the latest build if i go to apps screen and press the menu button a lot of times the bottom bit of the screen goes black for a few seconds or more randomly it could be a hardware issue on my part but i flashed the version that came out on the 10th of may build and the behavior can't be replicated on that rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] boqonx:
Don't worry, I have the same issue with the latest build (05/14/2013) which didn't appear on the previous one that I used (05/09/2013).

I am convinced it's software issue (libs/blobs/drivers).

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] victorator:
Can you see /preload in mounts and storage now in the new CWM?

Can someone confirm build 15 is fine?

If you have wifi problems, delete the .cid.info file that was being discussed some pages back.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ikenley:
Using Build 15 at the moment.

All working fine so far (including Wifi). There seems to be some graphical glitches with black artifacts popping up from time-to-time. Not a show stopper though.

Saw preload in recovery, but didn't try to mount or format as was updating.

Recovery failed the first flash, so flashed 14 then 15 and all working.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] daylight95:
Yeah I see it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] victorator:
OK guys. I'm uploading a fixed build (hopefully).

Please let me know if the following works.

1. Flash cwm_i9505_vic.tar.md5 with Odin

2. Install zip cm-10.1-20130515-victorator-i9505.zip

3. Wipe Data / Factory Reset (in the main menu of CWM)

4. Reboot

I need a report if this works. If you get any errors please write them down and let me know. If not, let me know also :D

Also I need to know if the method I gave a few posts back works.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Stevemeister:
New CWM still gets Error 7 the first time you try to flash CM10.1. After rebooting CMW it gets it right, so that issue is still there and formatting cache hangs.

Edit: Cache can't mount / Bootloop on every build when flashed with this CWM, fixed it by going back to stock.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mattbrown:
yep, hanging when first installing via cwm but also i wasnt installing from sd card as downloaded straight to phone copied to sd card and wiped and retried went in ok - still dome black glitches.

For people getting mount errors in TWRP ,you need to boot back into TWRP and use mount menu to mount system manually first before flashing

Works fine that way :)

Try to flash first example MDE or MDF stock rom or from here djembey rooted stock rom. That is knowed problem if you are coming from MDM or MDN rom, above is one solution, try it! Remember WIPE WIPE WIPE!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] boqonx:
Flashing from MicroSD via TWRP yielded a bunch of errors.

Following v-b-n's suggestion, I flashed via TWRP from internal SD with /system manually mounted beforehand, it worked beautifully.

Finally no more bloatwiz!

Awesome having a working CM rom out so fast!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] thunderserpent:
CM installed for me without a problem. It is very good for an unofficial first build so I can't complain, but there are a few things I have noticed. (apart from the known issues)

1. If your phone is off and connected to a charger it will not boot

2. In the settings the system options are clearly for another phone e.g. Search key settings instead of back key.

3. Mass Storage USB Mode doesn't work

I'm happy this came so quick though, great work! :)

Edit: Also I'm not getting in smudge issues like on Stock!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Erkan75:
My backup is tested and ok. So, I download build 1503 and test it on chenglu's cwm ... I'll be back :)

/edit

I love this download speed ... I have the build - let's go.

/edit2

So I think no problem with CWM, but with the installer script. I also got an error status 7 and the installation aborted. Going one step back in cwm and I got the mount-errors from cache. After that I formated /cache again (Done), but the phone won't boot. So I can't pull out logfiles :(

/edit3

I did the same again and got the same error. After that, I did a full wipe /system /data /cache /dalvik and installed aokp 1405 - no errors and phone is booting.

/edit4

BTW - after a full wipe again, I restored my backup and my phone is back with data (aokp 14052013) - so I can say, chenglu's CWM works for me without any problems at all!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Nitroz:
So it sounds like the installer script is bad on the CM nightlies. Hows AOKP running?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Erkan75:
I prefer AOKP ... it's running ok so far. For me the biggest bug (also in CM!) is the missing voice in phone calls over BT. I have 30-40 calls a day with around 5 hours call time and need my headset or car radio ... LTE drops also for me. But this two bugs are the only for me - for now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nevertomorrow:

Just saying if u need your phone for calls then don't be surprised if you can't do things you need to do because its a test realise. You take the chance and apresiate how good it is so far without the dev even having the s4 he has a lot of respect from me for that!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Erkan75:
Also respect from me. I just answered what is not working. I don't expect all is working in a test build and as I'm a heavy user, I test and try to help the devs fix it. If I don't use my phone... why should I test something new?

We hold a great phone in our hand, but all the stuff in stock rom I don't need and want. Also with the bugs its a better rom than stock and I never said something other.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] joelvn:
I just managed to flash the latest version using Chenglu's recovery. Even though it only flashed after formatting the Dalvik cache aswel. I tried it without first but then it gave me "Error 7 Instalation aborted" So maybe this will help people getting the same error. Do as it says in op but also format Dalvik Cache. One problem I had was that cLock kept giving me a message saying it stopped working. Besides that everything works fine:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] worker99:
I wiped that as well wiped everything still getting the status 7 error. Gapps flashed fine but rom doesn't for some reason

"The CM10.1 Nightly ROM is now available for download for S4 users, with due credit to XDA Developers Senior Member, Victorator (for sharing the download link), and the CyanogenMod team (for releasing the ROM)."

I've emailed and corrected the editor that Victorator himself has released these Unofficial builds.

Black glitches are fixed after disabling hw overlay on developer settings. Maybe this can help you fixing it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] flo110:
I'm using this ROM right now and it seems pretty stable.

I flashed with chenglu's cwm.

First time I got error 7, and it wouldn't boot' then I flashed again without formatting anything and it worked.

No WiFi issues. The only issue are those black portions of the screen when a menu is opened in some apps.

I don't have LTE so I can't test it.

I'm using 380 DPI and it works smoothly for now.

I forgot to say about the cLock issue. I get sometimes an error that cLock has stopped working.

Thanks victorator for this great port!

Then I should wait until victorator will fix that
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] victorator:
New build is up. Try and test. Status 7 should not appear now as I removed the checks for device completely until I figure out how to make a working recovery.

Unfortunately Chenglu's recovery has basically the same flaws as mine, so I went back to listing my recovery in the OP.

Remember, this build is only for I9505. Flashing on any other device might brick it! (rather impossible but who knows).

Went back to my config from 10. May build so this one should be more fluid.

I noticed people are complaining about black squares and overlay problems.

For now I recommend switching off hw overlays and experimenting with settings in development, or just leave it like it is if it doesn't bother you. Once I get the phone I will be able to debug more... Now it's just guesses. I will experiment with kernel configs in the next few builds to see which one is the best as there aren't going to be many more changes in CM10.1 itself (it's such a complete rom, noone should really complain)...

As always, download, flash and enjoy! :)

As usual, all changes in CM10.1. (framwork, system core, apollo other I don't remember). As for device specific, I went back to the jf-common found in CM repo blobs completely, only added i9505 specific blobs. Changed the config of the kernel a little so that it uses the configs from other defconfigs (I don't know if it changes anything).

Please let me know if it works fine. If not, roll back to the older nightly. It's basically the same functionality wise.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
