Progress status:

[MENTION=395758]ausdim[/MENTION] just sent me a promising kernel to fix most issues (adb, touch, good exfat support)

I am waiting from him a last kernel build

After that, I will push an update for all S4 variants

Big credits to him for the time he is taking despite being so busy

Please, take the time to visit [MENTION=395758]ausdim[/MENTION] thread

How about the re-introduced bug of problems with flashing 4.3 ROMs with the 11.2 version? Will this be fixed, too? That would be mega-awesome :laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
as soon as I get a good kernel, I will work on that bug

At worst, you'll get 2 versions so all are happy, since cm-10.x users do not care about exfat. The cm-10.x version will support exfat, but it will be much slower since cm kernel has no exfat native support (uses fuse)

PhilZ latest recovery (philz_touch_5.11.2-i9505.tar.md5) was the only one I could get working on my new i9505. This phone was really stubborn.

I tried CWM 6.0.3.6 and TWRP 2.6.1.0 but my phone would never boot to recovery with those. It would simply say booting to recovery but then reboot normally. Not sure why PhilZ worked and the other recovery did not. Thanks PhilZ

I need some help guys with my Galaxy s4 i9505.

Any Custom ROM i flash succeeds but it ends up in bootloop..

CWM Philz Touch says on boot 'E: could not mount /data to setup /data/media path'

Also, cant mount /data via 'mounts and storage menu'

And, cant mount /sd-ext.

How do i fix this?

I tried to find a ROM flashable with Odin but i couldnt find any. All i found were .zip files for CWM, also when unpacked.

Please help me if you can!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jthomas888:
Hi,

I had the similar problem once ( Error mounting Data). But mine was caused when i wiped Data/media and sd card through an option in official CWM .

I tried nandroid back up but it didnt work. Finally i downloaded a stock pre rooted Stock ROM from Djembey thread and flashed it via Odin. It still was giving me boot loop. Then i went into stock recovery and did a factory reset and all was fine. Life was back to normal with Philz recovery ( odin flash) and then custom ROMs. You can either flash completely stock ROM from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/ or use pre rooted firmwares from DJembeys thread... ( easier Method..Thread in Android Development for Samsung Galaxy i9505)

Hope all is fine soon :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] J-r0en:
I tried the pre-rooted rom from Djembey but still kept hanging at the bootscreen. Also when i rebooted into the recovery i got a message 'unable to mount /data'. but this time when i did a factory reset it did the job and my phone booted.

I've setup my phone now.

Only my phone keeps turning off after like +/- 10 seconds. sometimes it takes longer, sometimes less. This stuff all happened after the Foxhound v1.7 ROM. but now even with stock ROM it keeps turning itself off :S

At least got a step closer to a solution, thanks for the tip mate!

That doesn't say "nope," it says, "yep," because in English, the phrase, "At worst, you'll get 2 versions..." means yes, we will get support, either in the form of a single version that supports both Stock and CM (at best) or in a separate release that supports CM (at worst).

Either way, good news. :highfive:

Still working hard on S4 version

Much easier with the phone in hands to deal with things

Ironing out bugs takes a lot of time + I am working on future cm-10.2 branch at same time

I am near a good version (@ausdim already got a beta preview with good results)

However, I am a bit perfectionist and would like to push a mature bug free version
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Looking forward to a bug free recovery (at least no major bugs) for our S4. I'm currently using the latest TWRP, I like the simple interface but it's far from stable.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Touching back onto the odd time issues we've been having on the S4 for some time now, I was wondering what the "F Reset Time" in Odin is (which is ticked by default), and could the time issue be related or indeed fixed with an Odin flash depending on what this checkbox is set to?

I've no idea what this check-box actually does. I've tried googling it but I have not found anything definitive.

And by the way, Odin 3.09 is now out, and probably has been for a while. I've been on 3.07 for some time
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
Who knows

Maybe it is a CMOS reset instead of battery pull out

Till now, despite having flashed my new S4 +100 times, on many stock/cm-10.2 ROMs, I never got the time issue

I will release as usual for i9505 intl

After a while, if feedback is ok, I push other variants

exfat speed for me is rather good: 4Gb data in 10-12 mn with all display options enabled

Even faster in default mode with size stats option disabled

However, enabling compression quiet doubles the time :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
Well, since I have many small things to add, here's the current last version I am using:

v5.13.9

http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16685#files

It only misses NTFS support

About dialog shows 5.13.7 too

This should flash what ever you throw in

Hope speed is ok, like with my 16Gb exfat card

Hope someone takes time to test every single menu and function and report about any bug

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] svenk:
Hi Phil,

I am from Germany, too (in case it has to do with the time thingy). I just flashed the current .zip version (5.13.9) via the previous one (5.11.2), which worked well. Then I rebooted the phone and booted into recovery again to make a backup. The time was OK at that time. But I decided to re-boot and delete the .hidenandroidprogress files first, after which I booted into recovery again.

Well, now unfortunatelly the time was no longer correct. It showed 01:15 (correct was 20:30). I re-booted again, and again into recovery, and the time was correct again.

So this seems to be an irregular thing :(

I am doing a backup right now and from what I see the performance is OK -- I guess I will end up with about 15 to 20 Minutes for my 3GB compressed backup (will post details later). However, while the screen correctly dims after the configured minute, it does not go off after three minutes.

Apart from this, everything seems fine. I did not test restore, however.

Keep up the great work!

Edit: It took exactly 23 minutes for the backup to complete
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
20mn compressed for 3Gb is good

I will try to see why compression doubles the time. Maybe it is not detecting all 4 cores

During nandroid, screen only dims

It turns off when outside nandroid or nandroid is done

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
As I said, disable compression if you find it too long

I am digging why pigz is not doing multithreading as it should or the S4 cannot cope with compression
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] phil.o:
Compression is disabled.

°° tapatalked °°
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] zencooler:
That's true, but we don't know what size and filesystem it has been used for this.

The backup time is strictly depending on these two factors (beside the compression on/off).

64GB exfat is the worst case in terms of backup efficiency. I know it, because I also use this size and fs :)

Regards!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tassos_i:
Hi Phil,

(I wonder if my observations are of any use to you now that you own an S4, but in case...) IMHO, it is definitely not a matter of compression, but a matter of thermal throttle limit.

On my stock tw I9505, for a backup on my exfat 64, under latest Philz version, I need :

09 mins (2.1GB), LOW compression, when placing the device in the freezer upon starting the backup,

11 mins (3.2GB), NO compression, when placing the device in the freezer upon starting the backup (yes, it takes more time!!!),

18 mins (2.1GB), LOW compression, when leaving the device in room temperature (26 Celsius, in Athens)

And it has always been like that, since the very beginning in S4 cwm, under all your versions (and under Chenglu's cwm). Differences in speed between versions are minimal, for a given temperature (one exception though, versions with fuse are desperately slow).

So, maybe, you could ask to your kernel developer (@ausdim, I suppose) to try raising the thermal limits for backups on external sd (I mean slightly, without taking much risk).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lzk123:
Wouldn't the class and quality of microsd card affect the speed of backup too?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] phil.o:

Did a nandroid some minutes ago when I was outside at work and it had about 13°C.

The backup took only about 8 minutes for 2.8 gb, 1/4 of the duration from last backup where I sit at home.

So, temperature definitely has a big influence on the duration of the backup time.

Please forgive my ignorance, but there's a few basic things I don't understand about the benefits of exFAT. What does it mean in the real world?

If exFAT support is not something that CM 10.2 has implemented, but some custom kernels support it, does that mean that I need to use a custom kernel and reformat my internal and external SD to exFAT to get some benefit (whatever it may be)? :silly:

Personally, I use it so I can record in High Definition for long periods of time. Fat32 can only deal with files up to 4gb. exFat can handle larger files.

Plus I had to format my 32gb sandisk extreme card as exFat because when I formatted it Fat32 I got folders and files with strange characters in the names in them. I think 64gb sdcards need to be formatted exFat.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bradden1:
Just wanted to say how much I love the new recovery... it's much better than an already great thing!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
It's sd card speed related issue as well. How fast it can read and write. Mine should be able to read 20mbs but backup is still slow to external (compressed) but it maybe du to space as well. Don't know

Now I don't know what format it's on my sd card but look at the picture.

It's most likely some recovery issue when it tries to write. Because I don't recall moving folders taking long time. But I think it's write permission is a problem in recovery on bigger sd card. I have no idea if it's calculating memory or anything at same time. But it's not phillz fault. It's shouldn't work slower on lower memory spaced cards with slower write speed. Simply blame Samsung.

Also to add I've got 64gb ultra San disk.
