Hi folks,

yesterday I set up my girl's S4 for the first time. It's been my first Samsung device as I usually only manage my M8, so I hope you are kind if I have missed a typical Samsung point in my issues ;)

First of all I had this starting situation:

I9505 already rooted

PhilZ touch recovery installed

ARHD 3.0 (4.2.2)

baseband I9505XXUAMDC and old modem

Then I did the following:

(backup with TitaniumBackup) ;)

flashed TWRP 2.1.0.0 (jfltexx) with Odin 3.09 as I like TWRP a lot

flashed PhoeniX.ROM.V9.XXUGNF1.I9505.FIXED.by.tamirda with Full Wipe with only a few S5 apps

let the system boot and settle

flashed OTA 9.4

restored TB backups (no system apps but data like WiFi APs and messages, besides that just user apps)

after some settling and rebooting I flashed a S5 Health package (a wish that came afterwards) from an xda thread

again some rebooting to make sure

Now I still have these issues/questions:

This morning the alarm began to activate (we use "Gentle Alarm") but the screen stayed black/off and we were unable to awaken the screen.

On the desktop when I slide to the left there's an ugly black vertical bar like the wallpaper just ended.

When we plugged in the power cable (initially screen off) the screen turned on and the charging was deactivated. When the screen turned off again the charging resumed.

Finally what I have found out/tried about these issues and where my problems lie currently:

After some searching I have read that S5 Health could cause this. We will try this again tomorrow morning after uninstalling this today. If someone has a different opinion about this (like a bug or an option in the ROM itself) I'd be happy about an answer. (Is it better to flash it with the ROM itself from inside AROMA?)

I have checked the starting screen options by long-pressing on the wallpaper and going into the settings. I only found the transition effect, is there maybe somewhere else an option for deactivating the wallpaper scrolling?

I have the read the comment below about someone mentioning the charging thing too, is there a built in app (Phoenix Extras maybe?) where I can adjust something about the kernel? And if so, what exactly should I do?

This is the comment:

I have done some searching as you see, but maybe I haven't always found the best search terms and answers to everything lie around, hidden from my eyes. Maybe it's a good advise to also flash the BL although I have not seen hints on that? Besides those issues the ROM itself is pretty neat, very fluent working :good:

Regards

PS: This morning I flashed GSM_Modem_XXUGNG8_and_LTE_Modem_XXUGNG8.tar via Odin as I suspected some connection issues if this is relevant.

PPS: I have added a screen in case it provides information someone might need.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] culumbus:
Great ROM, but I have noticed some problems with Ultra power saving mode.

When i get into that mode, it doesn't turn off my mobile data when screen turns off, infact my mobile data settings stay the same for normal mode and for UPSM, it means that if I turn on my mobile data in normal mode - it will be turned on in UPSM, and the other way around if I manually turn off my mobile data in UPSM, it will be turned off in normal mode.

Shortly, my mobile data settings stay the same for normal mode and for UPS mode...

Anyone else having this problem?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jheysl2:
Such a great ROM been using it for months, only issue I'm having is data usage. It seems to be using a lot of Internet data, download booster is off, in data usage it reports I've used 500 mb this month but that's way off, my network provider app has a data usage app which shows used and remaining, according to the app I've used 980 mb of my 1.5gb limit, that's quite a big difference, especially as I'm on wifi 80% of the time it seems to be happening for the last 2/3 months. My data usage used to be 800mb a month used max, I've still got 18 days before it resets too.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] xandas:
about the modem

First: I've read in this thread that there'll be problems if flashing a modem different from the one inside the rom.

Second: as per your screen shots, it seems you didn't have success flashing your new modem. It seems it needs to be flashed through Odin 3.04

And it could be the reason your rom is working.(that your modem is the original, or a older one). Any way, if you flash the new modem, comment the result.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] unhallowedone:
Thx for answering.

Modem: Eek, see, I was so full of ideas and questions that I overlooked the obvious in my screenshot :eek: Is there a special background for you suggesting Odin 3.04 instead .09?

Edit:

Alright, after flashing XXUGNF1 in Odin v3.04 I still seem to have the old baseband :( (screenshots included). Maybe it's time to look for my problems with Odin as this issue doesn't seem to be ROM related.

By the way: I used the file GSM_Modem_XXUGNF1_and_LTE_Modem_XXUGNF1 from this post: Kitkat 4.4.2 MODEM / WIFI-FIX and BOOTLOADER for GT-I9505
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] unhallowedone:

Could you also make sure that you have the latest version of TWRP 2.7.1.0
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] unhallowedone:
Sorry yes, it was an error when writing. I of course flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-jfltexx.tar. Just been told the phone behaves a little weird though cause it seemes to have problems in receiving calls. Will try to fix a little bit around, seems to be a car-like behaviour at the moment: Once you have found one solution another problem occurs.

Are you on the old bootloader?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] unhallowedone:
I suppose so, how can I check? I haven't flashed it with the modem as I didn't quite get into the bootloader topic yet. Would you recommend it?

What can happen when I flash an according BL, should I reflash the ROM afterwards directly?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Meskalin1983:
Take the hook off on auto-reboot ... flash the modem and boats then again in Odin mode ... then flash the modem again but this time with auto-reboot. ..

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] unhallowedone:
I am quite confused at the moment. I do have the XXUGNF1 modem installed (still old bootloader) and the rom is just in a permanent lag. Can't even really get behind the lock screen because it's just freezing with a single touch of it. Can this be caused by a newer modem with old bootloader? Or could the problem lie somewhere else that I don't get currently? I am quite frustrated now tbh :-/

Edit: Could this belong to a "settling" of the system? A moment ago I could use the phone for a few settings. Still, this is giving me some thoughts ^^ Hope you don't mind my many words, maybe some time someone with questions like mine stumbles upon this in need for answers ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] misterG33:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] OmarManLover:
why your ROM is battery hungry and makes the device be very hot ? your features is very nice but because the hot and battery draining it became bad , I tried a lot of roms (official and custom) based on AOSP or Samsung stock and some roms battery hungry and some makes the s4 very hot , but by the way !!

the official stock rom is really the best , no heat or battery drain , is that two problems related to all the custom roms or what?

only the reason which makes my flash a custom roms is (UPSM) but all the other features can be flashed from recovery , I tried your UPSM MOD with all the S5 features but some of the S4 smart features are not working , so shall I back to an official rom and forget about all the S5 features? or you will give us an solution of the two problems which I put above

thank you
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 012512:
If you full wipe your device, you won't experience like that. I tried a lot of roms too, from touchwiz to GE roms. Followed the flashing instructions and never had an issue unless it is built in the rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] OmarManLover:
I not just full wipe , I super full wipe with the same problems , is that related to the phonex rom? because I tried the Imperium but with less heat and battery drain , but now my question is , is the samsung official rom better than the custom rom in the heat and battery life or no?

thank you very much
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gaww:
There is no solution because there are no issues for most like this. You will have to find the settings or apps giving you the problems. I dirty flashed wit data from another base and everything works OK except some minor things others have covered.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Gavin01:
Ive now gone back to the GE rom to try again with battery life. Ill post back any results.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kpirnie:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] contrinsan:
i gave up on 9.4 for the same reason : full wipe in aroma for first try and mega wipe (everything possible) as second try after wich i needed to flash an original rom before i could flash v9 and v9.4. I have a super big battery from 7500mah but for getting 2,5 days with 6 hours of screentime i needed to put the batterysaver on grayscale and turn off everything when screen is off.

I am used to getting 4 up to 7 days with 5 up to 8 hours of screentime on other (aosp) roms, (about 10% in 24 hours if i don't use the phone)

Maybe it is something i am doing wrong here but i could not find the mistake :(

But if i find the time i will test another TW rom this weekend so i can find out if all samsung roms have such big battery drain compared to aosp roms.

There is an app called 3D Watchdog that will show you which apps and processes are eating your data - plus you can set it for your monthly quota and have it monitor that.

I do not think that the "ROM" itself is eating your data, but various Google apps will do so if you don't watch them. I freeze and/or delete many of them, as I do not care for the data mining Google is doing with them.

DNS Change

Is there someone who has problem setting custom DNS? I tried Override DNS from Play Store but it isn't working for me.. In CyanogenMod 11 it works so I think it is a ROM problem.. could anyone test it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jheysl2:
I use the Data Usage tool that comes preloaded with the software but its about 500 mb off from what it actually should be, Will give 3D Watchdog one a try, thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gaww:
Watchdog has some setting for what is counted and what is not. It did get a bit off the actual data (per TMo account app), but was overall pretty close, and you can plug watchdog's usage count to match. It also counts immediately, while TMo lagged behind by a few hours.

I have not used in myself for awhile, as I have unlimited data currently, but a family plan member only has 1 GB, and it is doing a good job of keeping hers within limits ( also with WiFi including calling, which I do not understand why TMo doesn't make that available over there also).

Alright, I went through the way of flashing the original firmware XXUAMDC again via Odin. Afterwards I rooted it with CF-Autoroot, then used TriangleAway, then flashed a PhilZ recovery, then I flashed the new ROM and now it's butter smooth :fingers-crossed: Only problem now that I have is that the signal is lost (not connected to network) when the screen is off. As it is written in the PhoeniX instructions I suppose now would be the point of flashing the modem?

FIX for home button delay, BUG report!

Heey,

I found a fix for the home button delay.

The trick is to:

install s-voice, (i found it here: http://www.sammobile.com/2014/03/24/download-samsungs-s-voice-app-from-the-galaxy-s5/, but find your own apk if you don't trust it ;)),

then open the app

go into settings and enable the home "Open via home key" option

then reboot the phone !

then open the app again, go into settings and disable "Open via home key"

At least, that's how I did it.(It's possible that it works with just rebooting, without first enable and afterwards disable, haven't tested that.)

And then the lag is gone!

So it seems that if you uncheck S voice when in aroma at install, it doesn't remove the check for home double press, I hope the developers see this post and fix this bug in the next version.

Let me know if it worked for you too ;)

Until you guys will not say more for each bug, we cannot help, as i never faced any of those during plethora of tests, ROM had no issues, as Tamirda has solved all of them.

If u face one, be sure first that happen even on clean installation, if so enlist mods installed at aroma and provide logcat
