[Galaxy S 4 General] Degrated Shadow:
Reporting in:

I was getting reboots and no music on iamsachin's latest build.

Was pissed off. So i flashed 29th sept build by runedrune.

Battery life is less in his build BUT

I have run one and half hour of hd movies plus one or two more hours of heavu usage like games..

And there hasnt been a single reboot.

However mobile network becomes available slowly on first boot.

But thats no qualm..
[Galaxy S 4 General] iamsachin:
Haha.. Don't be pissed of bro.. It was a test build..
[Galaxy S 4 General] Degrated Shadow:
I was just irritated by that bug.. Nothing else. Anyways..

U gonna include the smearing fix?
[Galaxy S 4 General] iamsachin:
Yep... I'll try doing that
[Galaxy S 4 General] Degrated Shadow:
Thanks a lot!:o

You found the problem in framework causing reboots?

Any possible fix?

More cores != better performance.

More cores = marketing gimmick.

Samsung might as well come with a 12 core processor soon. It will be a gimmick like Apple's 64 bit processor.
[Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1735:
hey, [MENTION=1443062]iamsachin[/MENTION] how is the mic volume fix working out?
[Galaxy S 4 General] iamsachin:
Results are inconclusive. Microphone input seem better.

I noticed better input after turning off noise suppression in Phone>Settings

Right now I am working on fixing random reboots
[Galaxy S 4 General] AndreiLux:
64 bit / ARMv8 is anything but a gimmick and neither is HMP, it will bring better performance.

I'll keep the comment at that...
[Galaxy S 4 General] iamsachin:
Of course they will bring better performance, but I doubt if that kind of performance is currently needed on mobile OSs.. Also power consumption is another factor too, which I believe Samsung never considers well..

Samsung used "8 cores" as a number, showing "more is better" ideology..
[Galaxy S 4 General] Grarak:
64 bit won't bring better performance

https://plus.google.com/u/0/112218872649456413744/posts/Gbdj4XnE2QK
[Galaxy S 4 General] iamsachin:
This is exactly what I am saying..

Personally I don't like iPhone or iOS, but with a dual core processor and 1GB of DRAM they are giving really good performance.. I think Android phone makers should focus on that, rather than pumping hardware...
[Galaxy S 4 General] Grarak:
The advantage of Apple is that they can optimze their OS for their hardware.

On android you cannot do that. For example samsung has several devices running android. It would be really hard to optimize android for every device.
[Galaxy S 4 General] iamsachin:
Well I guess increasing CPU/RAM will also have a break even point. I doubt if the current apps or OS (end user point of view) require that much RAM or processing power.

Only visible use I see is benchmarks.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Degrated Shadow:
Right. But honestly is there a single app on playstore besides benchmarks which uses all four A15 cores of our S4 at their peak peformance point?

I don't think so.

Its no point going to more cores than 4 except on pc.
[Galaxy S 4 General] adeelhayat90:
what baseband to use with i9500 cyannogenmod ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] iamsachin:
I am using XXUBMG9
[Galaxy S 4 General] venorme:
I want to see the point where I come to work, plug in phone to the monitor and have desktop user space which can run existing programs that are used for work every day.

For that Android needs compability with windowsbased application - as a user I don`t care how they would make it (virtual machine, cloudbased computing or selling their Google soul for MS office).

Also I need way to stick normal keyboard/mouse into it without loads of adapters ot stupic BT connectivity.

Closest I ve seen to that was Ubuntu mobile. But it`s not even close to smoth desktop experience.

So what is my point? We still need better hardware if smartphones have to become working desktops replacement.

Currently we see huge mobily upgrage coming from MS. Sorry to say but as Surface pro user I havent used my Nexus 2013, home laptop and haven`t turned on my PC at work for almost a month(well Work PC is actually running but stays abbandoned).

Just want to see this from my android phone that costs almost same money as Surface and has close productivity but still needs huge OS jump as well as little step in hardware (give us damn usb-outx2)
[Galaxy S 4 General] adeelhayat90:
Bro that one not working with mine. What cyanogenmod version are you using? Actually I came across the problem of error not registered on network so I flashed my phone with Cyanogenmod but the modem problem still exists
[Galaxy S 4 General] AndreiLux:
Sorry to go offtopic but it really annoys me when people talk about things they don't know about.

Yes it will bring better performance. Just because JBQ says it doesn't, doesn't mean he's right or knows what he's quipping about.

64bit and ARMv8 are one and the same thing in this context, and ARMv8 is a major architectural change for the ARM ISA and brings with it large amount of benefits. The underlying changes have been known for years and are no-where better explained than in this article: http://www.realworldtech.com/arm64/

That's the theoretical side, and it holds up in the practical reality of things: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7335/the-iphone-5s-review/4

The across-the-board benefits from simply changing from 32 to 64 bits are enormous if you consider what little change it means in actually deploying the software (re-compiling).

Of course iOS works with much less overhead than Android, it's because they have total control over the software stack, but again you're comparing apples and oranges.

Apple's Cyclone is just outstanding in terms of IPC and is pretty much near at desktop levels in that regard, exactly as Apple has claimed.

You're comparing 2 cores versus 4, but consider this:

Those two cores are almost as big as 4 A15's with double the L2 cache. They are huge, and it shows off in terms of single-threaded performance. And THAT is a fair comparison between the two if you consider the perf/mm².
[Galaxy S 4 General] Degrated Shadow:
what u need is samsung ativ q.

which is abandoned as of now due to licensing issues I suppose.

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------

This guy is aesome.

there is a line between 32 bit and 64 bit. 64 bit is backwards compatible but withe better (very much better) performance.

I'm not a fan of Apple but that chip is truly desktop grade.

However it is still not completely used even in imminent future because there are no apps to take advantage of that much performance.

once devs are in for 64 bit apps ip5s will excel.

but it is not in immediate future..
[Galaxy S 4 General] gdonanthony:
future phones making it faster CPU and GPU is useless making it more expensive and it is better to spent money on buying desktop or laptop...

business this days making the world die...

Any news for random reboots?
[Galaxy S 4 General] bala_gamer:
[MENTION=1443062]iamsachin[/MENTION] and others ,

quick question.. google will unveil 4.4 by this month, so how much will it be easier for us to make 4.4 up and running once its released? the current 4.3 base will be useful upto what extent?
[Galaxy S 4 General] iamsachin:
Depends on how much stuff is changing under the hood. Last big and painful transition was GB -> ICS. After that they were quite easy.
[Galaxy S 4 General] bala_gamer:
exactly my thought, since its coming under 4.x.x naming scheme it should not be that different
[Galaxy S 4 General] iamsachin:
Sort of.. . 2.3 to 4.0 had huge amount of changes compared to 4.x to newer versions

Wow gr8. :D i will compile new source asap

Did in-call sound quality fixed??
[Galaxy S 4 General] NoobieUser:
im not so sure about that try asking iamsachin :) btw are you still working on your MIUI rom?

[ Thank me if i helped :) ]

---------- Post added at 01:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 AM ----------

btw this is what Intervigilium said in order to make camera work.

Cherry pick these commits next time you build.

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/50965/

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/50966/

Also update your proprietary files to use proprietary libhwjpeg.so for now. This should get pictures working. Videos are not quite working yet

[Galaxy S 4 General] runedrune:
Build compiled and running without any issues here.
[Galaxy S 4 General] doga.ozkaraca:
i guess that error proprietary related.

could you upload your proprietary files ?? /vendor/samsung/i9500 folder
[Galaxy S 4 General] runedrune:
https://mega.co.nz/#!kEVlADLI!eqIBzDb1KcL89ghxxhgTowBKUUISMUltjRyf1OBoJys
[Galaxy S 4 General] Grarak:
Yes according to log it's cause of proprietaries. Just use them from intervigil
[Galaxy S 4 General] iamsachin:
The error is not in proprietary. It is loading the libs perfectly.

It is unable to initialize HWComposer due to which SurfaceFlinger isn't loading. The error is generated by this piece of code in framework/native/services/surfaceflinger/DisplayHardware/HWComposer.cpp

To fix this try the following:

1) Check and re-clone exynos5-insignal in samsung_slsi

2) Check and re-clone framework/native

Also manually once re-clone device tree, ensuring that it is building HWComposer from insignal and not exynos5 folder

PS: The build size is reduced as there is no more Focal included.

[Galaxy S 4 General] walutisme:
Btw [MENTION=1443062]iamsachin[/MENTION] which is your latest build ? Latest build I've used now is the one that have problem with music sound. Is that already fixed ?

Fixed SD card mount.

Maybe random reboots too.. Testing..

Will upload a new build after that

[Galaxy S 4 General] gdonanthony:
yes but u can narrow it down so that things will be sure...
[Galaxy S 4 General] walutisme:
If random reboot is there, then why its different on everyone ? I got almost every 5 minutes or around that. But sometime every one hour or more. Is that because usage ? I have nothing installed, pure from build, no gapps or many apps installed, just root explorer app and video player

[Galaxy S 4 General] NoobieUser:
well it all depends on luck :p
[Galaxy S 4 General] iamsachin:
There is something wrong with the alignment on graphic stack. So basically anything that is using gpu can cause the issue.

Samsung hwcomposer is also facing the same issue.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Beny The Kid:
Testing might go faster if you let some of us help. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] iamsachin:
Once I get no random reboot for as long as 3 hours I'll upload a test build :)

Yet another bug report or maybe cause of....

Thank you so much for ALL the hard work!

I Know the "random reboot" bug has been reported at least a hundred times in this thread and pretty much a million times in some other sites with less strict "noob laws", but I want to maybe push an idea?

I loaded the [alpha 20] CM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2395417) yesterday and fell in love within 23 seconds! Boot Animation: awesome! Camera: awesome! reboots: pain...

I noticed that just before the reboot, my phone starts heating up like a beast (back top part, just next to cam - dunno what hardware is there) and llike a couple said in this thread, downclock cpu and reboots happen less often. I acually haven't really noticed, since my reboots normally happen when my phone is in my pocket, but I did notice that "on demand" governor can fry eggs, but "userspace" just gives that pleasant cuddly heat. :)

One other "bug?" : my screen keeps unlocking in my pocket, directly after switching off the screen (mine is set to immediate lock) the back button still wakes the screen and this is where I noticed the temperature - my thigh actually burned!

I dunno really where else to post this - Xda doesn't like me (it probably knows I'm a Delphi programmer, so no chance I can ever post in Dev section :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] iamsachin:
Try [MENTION=3150645]runedrune[/MENTION] build. He has included the touch key lock screen wake bug fix.

Also it's related to the GPU that is creating the random reboot :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] runedrune:
Don't use the latest build. Use the one before that. Forgot to include the fix in the latest one.
[Galaxy S 4 General] tirjahhl:

Hi Guys/Gals,

I need help to disable the proximity sensor when I receive a call.

My proximity sensor plays aup sometimes and stays on, so when I receive a call I have to press the home button to turn the screen on as simply removing it from my ear does not work soemtimes.

On TW ROMs I just got to call setting and untick the "Turn off screen during calls" option.

Now I'm on latest PAC ROM (2nd Oct 2013) and I cant find the option anywhere.

I checked the settings from with Phone but I cant find it.

Can someone please help as its very annoying. I sometimes have to pull out my battery to end a call as pressing the home button makes the screen switch on then off immediately.
