I made one call so far and it worked as it should, but I will do some more testing, since its very important as its the main function of a phone.

I think the RIL or your Baseband is not correct if that problem sometimes persists. I have XXUAME2.

How would I solve this? I'm on XXUAME2 as well.

My media scanner is running non-stop and creates a wakelock that won't let my phone sleep. Is this something to do with the ROM or is an application probably doing this? For now i just have disabled the service.

Oh btw, It would be nice if we could unlock with the home button instead of the power button. And I'm surprised that CM has MTP/PTP, why not just forced mass storage/adb?

To disable media scanning partially you can create a empty file called .NOMEDIA inside a directory so that the media scanner doesn't scan that dir

Well Ive had this issue before. Once youve succesfully installed a build+gapps and try to wipe cache afterwords it hangs. After that you will get bootloops and recovery will say that it cannot mount cache or grap a log. But ADB works fine at that point, cache mounting will work again if you can get the cache to format succesfully. My device booted again after I managed to wipe the cache partition (eventough it wont mount).

I have formatted my extSd to ext3, so mass storage wouldn't be such a good idea with windows :eek:

[MENTION=280651]invisible[/MENTION]: I simply cannot get anything from my phone after running the failing format command.

- ADB simply doesn't connect when I'm in recovery mode. I've made sure I've got the latest Samsung USB drivers as well as the latest version of ADB.

- if the phone doesn't freeze after the format command, then it will freeze if I try to run terminal commands or copy the log file to the sd card.

Something about the format command is screwing the recovery runtime. I get odd behaviour, such as sometimes being able to navigate around the options but can't execute commands. I've also had the weird situation where the brightness of the screen gradually increases until it becomes unreadable.

And if I wipe /system then do a hard boot into recovery and run the format command, it will work.

Sorry I can't provide any solid evidence of the problem.

i downloaded the CM ROM (194 MB) and cleaned Cache and Davlik Cache and past the rom (194 MB) to the SD card and then flashed and its just start up and saying CyanogenMOD animation... start up and tahts all it not past from that how logn takes to start up?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] live-evil:
I can't get it to work after failed flash either. Lovely dmesg until just before it happens then nothing.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
This is what you have to do:

- do a Factory reset and format system

- install ROM zip. It will say some Perm failed. blahblah.

- do a cache wipe. Now your phone will hang and you will have to pull the battery or hold off.

- once in cwm again do another Factory reset and format system manually.

- install cm10.1 zip again and it will work guaranteed. Dont forget gapps.

Result working cm installation. No bootloops.

I know this method is uber lame but atleast it works for me :D.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] live-evil:
That was the method people used until it was worked out that the format command was the one that crashed it. Now the new method is just to format system using recovery and delete the line that formats system in the updater-script file. Its been discussed to death already.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Ok. Good to know. Bought the device yesterday so still have to find out a lot of stuff ^^
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] thunderserpent:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] *SanSiro*:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Any chance you have a sdcard filled with media? Or a very large thumbnail cache file. anyways, you should format your sdcard if possible. it will solve the problem by 99% chance
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] I9000bramgmail:
most likely thumbnails,, there's a folder somewhere on your sd, .thumnail and it can sometimes get bad,, just delete it.

large media amounts shouldn't be the problem as I've had over 60gb of music on my phone since I had the S1, S2, and now S4.. no problems ever besides once the thumbnail thing.

cheers!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] realslicedbread:
this was my experience exactly. When the format command failed I was unable to connect over ADB to get a log.

The only times a complete log was done was when the format worked and I had a successful flash.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Me Gusta:
To get rid of the status 7 error, delete the line in the updaterscript which formats the system. Somehow the recovery screws this up. You will have to format system yourself by doing it in the recovery. Somehow this does work...

Me Gusta!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
It could be replaced by:

run_program("rm". "-Rf", "/system");

or

run_program("/system/bin/rm", "-Rf", "/system");

dunno which one is the right one, however it just deletes all files in /system, same thing as formatting but safer

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] therourke:
I just installed my first CyanogenMod! Very happy to rid myself of the bloatware, and looking forward to seeing how the battery fares.

I moved from the Omega ROM, which had the benefit of the Samsung S4 camera app, which I must say is much nicer than the one currently built into CM. I read here that the S4 camera app requires touchwiz to work. Would it be possible to install a custom kernel that contains some aspects of touchwiz and then install the S4 camera apk into CM?

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I got my first Android a couple of weeks ago and am trying to keep up.

As a complete newbie to the whole android scene I have found these forum posts pretty impenetrable. Trawling back through 54 pages of quips will eventually get you the information you need, but when you are starting out, with zero knowledge, it takes a while to even know what your even searching for. It'd be good to have a sticky somewhere that was regularly updated with a brief list of the steps needed. Would save a lot of people a lot of hours of trawling back through the posts.

One sticky with replies turned off, regularly updated as new info arises. Not a lot to ask. It would save you know it alls a lot of time too.

Why can't the installation issue just fixed inside the Nightlies?

Because the problem doesn't lie in the cm build but in the way recovery behaves.

Also, this is a development thread and these are nightlies so users are expected to have the skills to cope with things being broken.

Finally, there are various workarounds so changing the cm build is not necessary.

It's kind of annoying though... I download delta update packages straight to my phone to update nightlies so I can't really edit the updater script. So when I update I just flash and wipe until it actually installs.

You can do all the changes on your phone. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42613748

Also, I can get the ROM to install first time every time by using TWRP and the following steps:

- boot into recovery

- wipe cache and system (wipe/advanced)

- hard reboot into recovery (power+vol-up)

- flash ROM

- flash Gapps and anything else

- reboot

Sorry for off topic but this might be worthwhile. I put together a stock TW rom with Dsi's kitchen and I looked through the installer script. The way it mounts and formats the system differs from the way CM10.1 formats system, maybe it's a better way?

mount("MTD", "system", "/system");

It is indeed a pity - I got my phone yesterday and made a video with the stock ROM as a test control. I flashed CM10.1 after and did a video of the exact same scene and the video quality is MUCH worse. I have tried meanwhile Snap camera and it ain't much better.

The stock app has much more contrast and vivid colors as opposed to the CM10.1 camera where everything seems washed out and overexposed.

This is true for video, at least.

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

Yep, hardware specs/drivers are not public and they're part of Samsung's secrets! So, on community/Opensource project, it needs more time to get a good implmentation (many feedbacks, fixes, tries...) to get good results.

Be patient... Give some feedbacks... and give some time to developpers ;)

Has anyone tried dual booting on S4? There are lots of tutorials out out there for S3. That would be a half solution to the camera problem. An Omega / CM mix would be pretty sweet.

What makes you think that IR is not working? I just switched my Samsung TV off with CyanogenMod installed. I am on HazAnwars build though as I also have the baseband issue with the official build at the moment. This shouldn't make a difference though.

I posted a thread a while ago. What is needed is a system service as currently it is only possible to send any IR command as root. Someone with more programming knowledge than a have should be able to write one easily I think.

I am not using any App at the moment. I use exactly the string that I posted in my thread by using a terminal as root. To be able to use an App it would require a system service to be in place to send the command to. Until Google will implement an official service into android out will be hard to get some standard in place I think. I really hour that Google will do so with 4.3 since we will get the Google edition of the S4 and also the HTC One which also has IR on board.

So how did you get your TV to turn off with your phone if you're not using an app? :eek::confused:

EDIT: I just looked at your thread. I don't really think that's a viable solution and I don't really see a point in anyone making an app or something for that at least not now till we're 100% sure that the Google Edition S4 will not have an IR Blaster.

I agree with you. We should wait for the Google edition.

I totally agree as there is no dependency between the recovery and the ROM being flashed.

There are definitely issues with the CMW and TWRP recoveries (I've tested both). And, I'm guessing, Philz also had issues as it's based on CMW.

Modifying the updater script is a good workaround. But I agree with invisiblek that the problem needs fixing.
