What's most amazing is that the camera generally works better on the S3, even with Exynos than it does on the S4 with Qualcomm.

The image quality is better on the S4, of course, but for a point and shoot experience, it's pretty abysmal that, even with better sources, the S4 has so many camera issues by comparison.

Sold my S4 today and went back to the S3 to wait for the Nexus 5.

Same problem here...my i9505 reboots after 8 seconds of 1080p recording. I have the same problem with both external & internal SD card. I'm using the last nightly available.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] bobribbon:
The 1080p recording problem doesn't seem to affect me. Could it be not rom related?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pitcher85:
Many people also have problems with slow-motion recording with different kernels and different ROMs and many people don't.

So it might be hardware related whatever batch job of chips it was.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] tapiov:
Does the above Workaround work for you?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kaalalto:
Which workaround ? Anyway Focal (from Google Play) works good enough to make videos with no reboots. So I think it's probably an app issue than a kernel one.

because, obviously, not formatting that isn't safe and shouldn't be done like that. old files that got removed from newer builds will stay for example.. so just deleting the line is not a solution or something it's just a dirty work around

It's because it should wipe system. If it does not wipe system you have to do it yourself in some rare cases. This is not intended. If you know how to format system via updater script please tell the guys how. just removing the line does not solve the problem. god dammit
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] idriline:
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p16", "0", "/system");

this line mean format on ext4 the partition called EMMC /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 is the mount point "0" for put all the bytes from partition to 0

(different kind of formating exist : fast format clean mbr table let the data on the disk but link to go on files doesnt exist and when you write a new data erase the previous one. put all the bytes to 0: erase completly the data on the disk or partition ) .

this line concern the creating and formating partition for install the system

I restored apps using TB, that could be it... And with the new nightly, my phone seems to run even better without any reboots, so it's probably not that.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lellouchftw:
Also liking the latest nightly.

If you consider the amount of time this phone has been out, the rom is very good. In the past I've had to deal with unstable roms after months of developments. I guess this is partly due to qualcomm and not tegra/exynos.

Wifi bug seems to be fixed, as well as the date one. Still having the network bug, and some stutters here and there (i guess that'll be fixed in the coming weeks!)

Most likely. I took out the format line from the install script (as that's what's causing the issue) and it installed fine. Haven't tried leaving it there and flashing, but pretty sure it would still fail occasionally.

Hey guys,

Has anyone here flashed back and forth between Stock and CM 10.2 with a Knox bootloader? I have a Knox-Free bootloader now, and I'm running CM 10.2, but I am itching to try out the new Stock 4.3 release, at the very least to update my Camera firmware, then I plan to flash back to CM, but I want to know if I'll have any functional problems doing so.

I realize that I will end up with the stupid Knox flag triggered, but I don't see any way around it, since the Knox bootloader is REQUIRED to run 4.3.

(BTW, the camera is worse today. I had to switch to another app, but it even seems that some under the hood stuff has made other apps unstable as well. I'm sure things will improve. Think we'll get a Camera firmware/blob and/or sources improved for 4.3 since the release is out now?)
