Status Bar Lag :(

Dont know whether this is because of the new build or not, but the status bar lags uncontrollably!

Edit: Happens at random :P

On the bright side, the Camera is amazing! Loving the stock 4.3 camera!

(P.S Many many thanks again to [MENTION=1815755]intervigil[/MENTION] for making this possible!)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Arjav23:
Wow

Great news that camera is fixed

Btw [MENTION=1443062]iamsachin[/MENTION] does your build have halo or pure cm

Sent from my DEATH NOTE with Shinigami by my side!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Nasty_z:
Includes halo
[Galaxy S 4 General] 95mediatech:
Unbelievable!! [MENTION=1815755]intervigil[/MENTION] is Genius for me.... and [MENTION=1443062]iamsachin[/MENTION]... fantastic. .. nice I hope stability issues will be fixed.. fuhh.. whata great ride for the camera. .

Link for latest cm build?
[Galaxy S 4 General] NoobieUser:
Go to the previous pages :) page 232.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Marcus Badach:
New Monkey

Hi sorry to be the new monkey on the block :)

I just checked page 232 and it seem that is newer than the one I am running my about device says - build date August 24 so i assume that one is newer?

Is it, and then how do I download it? and then dirty flash it? Apologies I promise to learn fast, had 5 iphones now first Androids and loving them :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] NoobieUser:
im pretty sure you just download it then flash it , then wipe cache and dalvik cache :)

btw what rom are you using now?
[Galaxy S 4 General] yashvchauhan:
Are you running HaloGen Mod or Cyanogen Mod?

CyanogenMod is by dago, its unofficial and not updated for quite a while.

On page 232, is HaloGen Mod by [MENTION=1443062]iamsachin[/MENTION] and this is updated earlier today. Afraid you may have to do a clean wipe to switch to this.

Please note, halogen mod is the one with the camera working and with all latest intervigil and cm commits.

Thank me if it helped!
[Galaxy S 4 General] NoobieUser:
exactly you can only do a dirty flash when updating from the same rom. You cant do CyanogenMod to HaloGen :) etc.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Marcus Badach:
Cyanogen

Hi I am running Cyanogen Mod, is it better to be on HaloGen? What is the difference this is really confusing? I though Cyanogen were the leaders in custom roms etc...

Should I switch and if so how? What are the differences in the ROMS?
[Galaxy S 4 General] jithendra194:
https://mega.co.nz/#!Z0km0bYA!U7W-bxPJPGtT1pqewPpHfnf8Ru1pHkv2GEe227MS6X4

Is that the latest cm build?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Arjav23:
Any ETA on miui guys?
[Galaxy S 4 General] NoobieUser:
yes it is but its not CM its HaloGen
[Galaxy S 4 General] Marcus Badach:
Not sure

I flashed a file called cm_i9500-ota-eng.doga-alpha20 ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] NoobieUser:
yes Cyanogen is good but for now the most frequent updated rom is HaloGen :)

HaloGen is just CM but with Halo.
[Galaxy S 4 General] yashvchauhan:
Hmmm, look, cyanogenmod is the pure ROM.

HalogenMod is [MENTION=1443062]iamsachin[/MENTION]'s modification of it with a halo (imported from Paranoid Android) as an extra feature, with CM as its base. That's the only difference.

As of now, halogenmod is updated (file on pg 232, with a working camera and latest commits, like I mentioned earlier), so its the latest updated and MAY be used as the daily driver as compared to CM.
[Galaxy S 4 General] runedrune:
I have a cyanogenmod build compiled at home but I didn't get a chance to test and upload it. As soon as I'm home I'll test it out then upload it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Marcus Badach:
Cool so what should I do well the one I flashed be updated
[Galaxy S 4 General] yashvchauhan:
Your preference! If you want the pure CM ROM or the HalogenMod
[Galaxy S 4 General] NoobieUser:
1. If you wanna stick with CyanogenMod , you can wait for a new build soon. Then do a dirty flash.

2. If you wanna use HaloGen with working camera.Download the rom on page 232. Wipe Data,Cache and Dalvik Cache then flash :)

(you will lose all your data)

Thank me if i helped,thanks! :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Marcus Badach:
Wait

I think I would rather run the pure CM - all I am looking for is the most stable closest to stock experience I can find... If I learn to use Titaniun back up does it make restoring all data easier?

Lastly how will I know if the version I am running is updated? Do not want to flash the wrong ROM
[Galaxy S 4 General] ChampMEon:
And I JIZ in my PANTS!

So glad about this, but my phone is in for repairs. Battery is faulty. Hopefully when I get It back, CM10.2 will be flawless!

How can we thank Intervigil? He is very talented... wow he really suprised me.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 General] iamsachin:
HaloGen is pure CM with just one extra feature of Halo from PA. You can turn that off from the settings. HaloGen = Halo + Cyanogen. So it's pure CM with infact all the latest CM commits.

Currently for all the latest stuff use the page 232 build. until [MENTION=3150645]runedrune[/MENTION] releases a "pure" cm. All other builds are heavily outdated.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Marcus Badach:
ROM

Maybe for me as a Newbie, what is the most stable easiest to update ROM for the i9500? or do I have it LOL (closest to Vanilla stock android)
[Galaxy S 4 General] walutisme:
-Wifi and bluetooth doesnt work (wifi always scanning, bluetooth not detected)

-random reboot after 30 minutes

Will try to reflash after full wipe
[Galaxy S 4 General] iamsachin:
All the CM based ROMS follow the same way to update.

If you are on stock:

1) Flash ROM from CWM recovery

2) Flash gapps

3) Do a wipe data factory reset from recovery.

If you are already on CM/AOSP based ROM:

1) Flash ROM/updated ROM from CWM recovery

2) Clear cache from recovery

3) Clear dalvik cache from recovery

That's new. Are you sure you flashed the right build? try doing a full wipe
[Galaxy S 4 General] Avide:
time to fix reboots no?
[Galaxy S 4 General] iamsachin:
Random reboots are occurring due to misaligned graphic buffers in framework/native. I am trying to look into a possible solution.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Gh0stWhisp3r3r:
Bluetooth Sound (no Phone)

Hey Guys, Great Job so far on the last Build.

I did a clean wipe from TW.

Return to Stock, Flash Recovery, & Root then installed CW & Gapps... FLAWLESS.

Installed all apps and now customizing. only had one reboot. However I have noticed

that under bluetooth it says (no Phone). I can hear sounds and Audio fine, but Phone Calls

I cannot get through my headset. :(

Any Ideas ?

Thx again
[Galaxy S 4 General] Rahulrulez:
I hope somebody will come up with leaked exynos documentation :D :D :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] iamsachin:

Seriously people... what is in it for Samsung to share the code with us ?

What kind of difinitive business case can you make to the managers that call the shots ?

Can you offer license terms or contracts ?

Your asking Samsung to share none open source hardware code?

You have to offer them something in return.

Full Metal Alchemist style... equivalent exchange.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Ellumination:
really think that Samsung should make it even easier for the public to customize samsung devices..
[Galaxy S 4 General] Gillion:
But there is nothing in it for them to do so.

No one has proven to Samsung that this will generate significant sales and reduce fraudulent device returns (bricked)

How is this going to be markatable to main stream Justin Beiber type users ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Rahulrulez:
Do we want to stick with that ****ty Touchwiz forever? Without proper documentation "NOTHING CAN BE FULLY WORKING". We can not expect the things work without any BUGS just like that..

If we purchase the phone, Samsung have to take care of their customers.. They must have to maintain the Public Relation good. They already are releasing Google Edition phones, why can't they provide us an option whether we want to use Touchwiz or Vanilla Android.. Come on, this is not iOS or WP.

They promise us Android, we should get AOSP.. They decorate or rather make it dirty with the Touchwiz layer on it which we don't want as simple as that..

Being an Android user, I must get what Android as AOSP provides us.. not what Samsung! :(

I would have opted for Nexus phones but Google (mot$$$f$$$$) never release Nexus here in time.. They sell Nexus as CLEARANCE SALE here :@ which is SHAMEFUL.
[Galaxy S 4 General] runedrune:
You bought the phone knowing it has Touchwiz on it. So you're getting what they promise you. Being an Android user you're getting what you're paying to get. They don't owe us AOSP. If you want AOSP you could buy a Nexus phone. I want AOSP just as much as anyone else but you've got to stop acting like it's what we deserve.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Rahulrulez:
Well yes I did know that. But do you really think they have delivered what they stated?

Better battery life -> Nope, it sucks.. We get less than what I9505 users are getting. They promised Exynos has better battery life, in practical it sucks..

GPU clocked at 533MHz -> Nope, they cheated us. GPU is overclocked only for benchmarking applications.

Promised Exynos Documentation release long back -> nope, they did not release it or they don't have plans for it.

As I have stated. I could not buy Nexus simply because it was not officially available in India. Otherwise I would have purchased it, period!

I am happy with the specs but I am unhappy because of Samsung's attitude. They just forget consumers. All they care about is MONEY..
[Galaxy S 4 General] desz:
key words "All they care about is MONEY" ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Gillion:
Nothing is wrong with that.

That is the nature of trade.

You make the majority of your customers happy and they get money in return for it.

If the MAJORITY did not respond positively to the device as Samsung released them... then things would change.

As it stands we at XDA tend to FORGET that we are the MINORITY

All our belly aching and all our crying... without providing Samsung with anything lucrative from a business case scenario will prove futile.

As it stands Samsung, to a great extent, is chasing the iPhone ... we have yet to show Samsung how making the Exynos platform relatively open to us will give them a significant lead on APPLE that the REGULAR customers who do not root and who do not care about custom ROMS is not providing them with.

Also bear in mind that Samsung is a Family owned ASIAN / South Korean company.

We have been very disrespectful... especially those of us from the WEST.

Our rude ... "gimme gimme, you owe us this" attitude will get us nothing.

We have to find a way to DIPLOMATICALLY present Samsung with an opportunity that is advantageous and almost exclusive to them.

We have no gift to offer so why should they offer us at XDA a gift ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] hotheabilly:
So what can xda give to samsung? Sushi? Bulgogi? I'm asian and I found samsung is suck in after-sales and giving sources. Samsung is less famous when its using bada, android is open source, so yeah if you wana using free stuff to making money atleast give something for free too.

1700Mhz A15 and 1400Mhz A7 running together with 640Mhz PowerVR SGX.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Entropy512:
Just like the first time someone saw codeworkx making commits in an i9500 repo - recovery only, nothing more.

And to describe Samsung as "family owned" is giving them too much credit. They are fundamentally corrupt. Lee Kun-Hee was convicted of bribery and financial misconduct, then pardoned by the South Korean president (probably got paid off is my guess), now, despite being a convicted felon, he's still running the company.

Other companies realize the benefits of cooperating with the community - marketing, technical feedback from people who can act as a filter between the company and users. (This is important when something escapes your testing process, like the Superbrick fiasco. And yes, we've caught occasional flaws in Sony releases and gave Sony feedback on those flaws. You don't hear about them much because Sony has been incredibly good at fixing that stuff.)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Gillion:
Cheabols are the equivalent of demi Gods in that country.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Theshawty:
Now, imagine if Sony was as "rich and mighty" as Samsung. Don't you think they'd have been as arrogant? More arrogance tends to follow nicely with more money and more popularity.
[Galaxy S 4 General] AL_IRAQI:
4.3 will release soon so I dont think cm will work on 4.2.2 for i9500

And There's no exynos 5 source code so dont wait there's nothing coming soon to this device
[Galaxy S 4 General] joelteixeira:
HTC one was my first choice when considering to buy the S4, sadly HTC closed their brazilian offices. Now I regret to be so anxious, I should have waited some friend to bring from another country. :-\

About all the complaints, one thing is absolutely true. Why should Samsung change the game if we still buying.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S4
[Galaxy S 4 General] Gillion:
Sony was as RICH and MIGHTY as Samsung... that is why they are the way they are now when measured in terms of revenue.

In fact during the 1990's many of Japan's top companies had an unpleasant attitude especially toward American companies.

Back then you couldn't instruct Japanese companies on anything tech related especially mobile phones... they knew it all... until the bubble burst.

Western customers said the UI on their cellphones were hard to use compared to Nokia or even Motorola.

They did not listen... they took pride in their arcane nested UI... and Japanese customers seemed to like the thing... they loved memorizing keyboard codes and what not... Sony before it joined up with Ericson was NOTORIOUS for bad UI and awful cellphone concepts that did not take well in the West.

Well eventually the Japanese overinflated economic bubble burst... lost generation...

blah blah... and NOW Sony is willing to listen to us ?

I laugh ....

In the end Samsung has no real reason to help us with the Exynos platform beyond the Arnadale and Origen testbeds.

We have not been able to present to them anything that says "YOU CAN DOMINATE APPLE IF YOU LET US DO THIS"

Truth full most Samsung apps SUCK the UI is awful ... the overall design is AWFUL !!!

This nothing new.... the KIES is a god awful travesty

But... I am yet to see a South East Asian company (please correct me if I am wrong) design great software and operating systems from the ground up.

It is like their thinking is overly complicated like their writing systems.

OR because of the ROTE STYLE education system their programmers and designers never developed that level or artistic creativity ?

Sure my comments may appear racist... but it assure you I am far from racist.

The South Korean Government is aggressively pushing SoC, CPU, and the relevant Software development.... to be on the same level as the USA /Qualcom / Apple / Google

They will say the Yanks are in the lead so they can afford to "give away stuff"

But Apple gives away nothing so their argument is moot.

It is a matter of strategy... and Exynos falls right into that we have to become dominant for national pride strategy .... keep it secret unless there is an advantage.

Remember Qualcom is an American company ... so the ADVANTAGE is there for them to open source their systems because its

1. Dominant

2. The Software is American made (Google/Android)

3. The programmers are typically American

Win Win

Samsung has YET to see how they can gain like Qualcom

Bear in mind all I have said could be complete bollocks so please take it apart and we see where we go from there.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mashaal95:
We were duped :(

Meanwhile, Samsung is releasing a new Exynos 5 Octa chip :'(

We all knew there was something wrong with our phones...with the release of the new chip so soon after the old Octa was launched...it just goes to prove that all our phones are FAULTY! And that Samsung KNEW about it!
[Galaxy S 4 General] mattdt:
think we all need to be a little patient regarding the i9500... it is still a good phone and given enough time, anything can be reversed engineered.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Rahulrulez:
There is a new device tree popup up yesterday..

https://github.com/zodimo/android_device_samsung_ja3g

Nothing has been committed yet.. Just wanted to share. I kinda gave up on CM already :P I'll keep this phone with me and will get something like Nexus 4 for Community driven experiments.

I like this phone a lot, love it. But for the sake of community developed cookies, I might purchase Nexus 4

Flashed twice before post this

-1st flash : do full wipe, flash your latest build on page 232, wipe data, cache, dalvik, got random reboot every 10 minutes maybe (doesnt check it, but maybe around 10 to 15 minutes)

-2nd flash : reflash your build on page 232, wipe cache, and then wipe dalvik, no random reboot yet, but 1st boot time take long time, I though that because wiping dalvik, right ?

Edit : I've revert to stock before 1st flash so doesnt have gapps yet, I dont want to use gapps until stable or Official CM release by intervigil, but maybe later if I need gapps can flash it directly ?

[Galaxy S 4 General] Nasty_z:
You know, tbh, the microphone issue takes premise over random reboots.

Well, the thing is that the delay before a random reboot occurs can be controlled by wiping cache and dalvik cache. Basically, if you wipe the two caches, your phone doesn't do a random reboot for hours on. Once you do receive a random reboot, you can just wipe the caches and use the phone again.

Microphone issue is in almost every call. That's a huge pain. Nonetheless, my thanks goes out to [MENTION=1815755]intervigil[/MENTION]. Fantastic job.
