Installed the 8/2 build, no cell service/data/GPS..

WiFi works but all other radio features seem to be not working... Any idea why?

Camera won't open for me. Fresh install
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] norman1080:
The camera is working for me on the 8/2 build. The only thing I have noticed is that HDR mode captures a gray image. Not sure what it is, but thought I would report it. Anybody else having this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dstreng:
Ok I wiped gallery data and cache and it worked after reboot. But ya HDR is still a wip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] allareconnected:
How's the camera quality?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] norman1080:
I think it is good. See for yourself.

hmm cant find hbogo in the play store with 4.3, anyone else have this ? Im using the barebones gapps wonder if thats the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theineffablebob:
Just wondering, do apps like WatchON which use the IR blaster work with CyanogenMod?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ruben8448:
I found it but I don't think it's compatible with 2.3 yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
Try to install from the web based store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docnok63:
With all the camera commits and this feedback, I decided to give this build a clean flash. I did a Gallery data/cache wipe and all and Focal still crashed. Disappointing...

Norman, was that pic taken with the Focal camera or the AOSP camera?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
Focal is very tricky. It has to be a one size fits all camera app in regards to hardware compatibility and its not there yet. The normal camera works wonderfully after the cherrypicks I pulled this morning. Pair that with the functional IR blaster and I don't miss Samsung's overlay at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
The camera commits are to camera/gallery2, not focal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
Yes. A few posts back I posted a flashable watchON package.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SonicJoe:
It's not CM, or gapps. Its 4.3. I just bought a Nexus 7 and even that tells me its not compatible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] norman1080:
AOSP camera. Focal crashes on me.

I'm compiling now but I didn't pull the superuser commit I mentioned yesterday. Steve Kondik made a good point on the patch. "I think this might make sense for 10.2.

We scaled it back in previous versions, I think it's safe to disable it by default now and require the user to turn it on. I don't want to get rid of the ability to use root, but I also don't like it being on at all on first boot.

We might want to show a toast or something if su is denied."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrtruckincowboy:
May I ask what's the difference between this build and euroskank just a few things?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xaositek:
Keith was first :) LOL!

By the way Keith you may want to check out the news here - http://anandtech.com/show/7199/google-releases-43-ota-for-htc-one-and-galaxy-s4-google-play-editions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
Yeah it started rolling out last night. Binaries/kernel will reflect the ota.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
I'm not sure. I only pay attention to my thread and builds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrtruckincowboy:
That's cool , I tried them first but your build ran better.

Thank you for all the work you do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] odub303:
Which gallery commits did you cherry pick, the "bring Samsung improvements to 4.3" ones?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
Oops. Didn't hit quote.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
Yes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
New build in OP.

Dling now thanks

Does anyone else get green lines on pictures taken with the front camera?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dobo84:
So all in all the only thing really broken on these builds are focal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
Pretty much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawnten:
Just wanted to point out that this is actually more stable for me than any of the me7 ROMs. Most of my apps fc on those ROMs for some reason
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dobo84:
I'm gonna give it a flash soon as I sober up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ITGuy11:
Come on man that takes the fun out of it :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:
So haven't flashed this In a while, is the 4.3 camera still built in? Or was it replaced by focal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
Focal is still wonky
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
Stock 4.3 cam is there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dobo84:
Only other thing I've seen is the gesture on the keyboard doesn't work at all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
Mine does. Did you use the bare bones gapps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bikeboy:
Today's changes finally allow me to bluetooth sync my phone book and call history with the car. Smooth and stable ROM, thanks Keith.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrtruckincowboy:
Lol good one
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aamzalag:
youtube

I havent seen this at all in the thread, maybe its just me... But i cannot seem to play youtube videos on my phone. It loads the video but the video just gets stuck and plays at like 1/100th of the speed with no sound. I tried reinstalling the app, wiping data, and this was all on a clean flash,. Weirdly, i can use my chromecast to play videos form my phone but not on the phone itself. Any1 else had this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dobo84:
I used the GAPPS you had the other link was removed from Goo
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
I got ya. I didn't realize they were removed. I found a different link that I'll update the OP with soon. For now use Google keyboard from the Play Store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docnok63:
It's the weekend, so I had some time to do a Focal review. Keith's 7/29 build is the only one where it doesn't FC immediately when taking a pic. I've discovered, the hard way, that it does FC on other occassions; any time it needs to use the flash and if you attempt to use the built in image enhancer.

Strangely enough, images taken with Focal automatically rotate 90 degrees counter-clockwise (yes, even screenshots.) My FB uploads were sideways from Focal and fine for AOSP. If the camera was supposed to autoflash or you've forced the flash on, it will take a 0KB picture and the next time you start up Focal, It comes up a blank black screen (the camera isn't working at all) and you have force a FC by trying to take another pic again. I attempted to take an HDR shot and it didn't FC, but the file size was a whopping 24.3MB and wouldn't open in either Irfanview or Photoshop.

*note below in the screenshot ending in 48 that when the flash is stuck, the screenshot is landscape. As soon as you restart the app, press to take another pic, the flash goes off, and the app FCs, and the screen is properly oriented portrait in the screenie ending ing 58.) The pictures being 90 degree counter-clockwise can be fixed with KT's 4.3 kernel, but screenies always come out landscape (last screenie.)

Speaking of Photoshop...I put the AOSP (on the left) images next to the Focal pics to give you some side by side comparisons: I didn't enhance/touch either pic. I just put labels on them and post them as is.

As you can see, the images are almost exactly the same except that Focal automatically zooms in a bit by default. BTW, zooming is VERY difficult within the app.

*** To conclude, The 10.2 builds are VERY alpha and, for me, quite unnecessary to flash.. The main reason I wanted to flash these is for Focal and Voice+, and if neither of them work properly then I might as well stick to the ROM I was on before flashing 4.3. Just my opinion, YMMV. ***

Voice+ is broken
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biff6789:
Does anyone else have to go into recovery to fix permissions every single time they reboot? I do. If I don't then I just get stuck at the black Galaxy S4 boot screen and I have to get into recovery and fix permissions before I can get back into the OS. Once I get back in I have no problems.

Happens to me on the last several builds and I'm not doing anything else to the stock build in the OP. No Titanium app restores. No custom kernels. Just happens to me on the plain rom as is
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrtruckincowboy:
Try clockword mod recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docnok63:
Just for s's n g's, I flashed the 8/3 build with both KT and EliteKernel for 4.3 to see if it would fix Focal. It didn't. I'm not sure if they cherry picks for the AOSP camera that were in Keith's 8/2 build are in here or not, but for comparison, a pic from the 8/3 AOSP camera:

Known issue. Tip: uninstall Google Voice to stop the Voice+ FC messages
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
I'm using 10.2 on my Nexus 7 and Focal does the same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tats_06:
Hi everyone! Flashed this ROM today and am getting a message that my device is not rooted when attempting to use root explorer for system. Anyone know a fix? I have CWM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] d11dog11:
No need. Just turn it on in accessibility and force closes stop. Still doesn't allow sending though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SonicJoe:
Enable root access in Developer Options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rustynutzz:
Happened to me as well. The problem was with twrp and formatting data. Twrp does something to the data partition that's not right. It's a known problem. I found a blurb about it somewhere on their website.

I actually prefer twrp, but for now have cwm and all is well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dmarden:
Not sure if this is helpful, but noticed fitsnugly saying that the 10.2 stuff was behind one commit: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/46187/

It is needed for Voice+.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:

Sent from my SCH-I545
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
Not currently. The AOSP camera is built with nexus devices in mind and they lack SD cards. Soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
Compiling now. I won't have time to test today's build because I'm going to brunch and shopping with my wife. I did pull a few things down for camera and focal, so let's see how that works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] odub303:
Did you happen to cherry pick this?

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/46986/

Noobl thinks it fixes focal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
I sure did. Got the corresponding commit for Gallery2 also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] guns4america:
There is a bit of workaround I found for the camera to SD card problem. You can use an app called foldersync. You can set it to sync all files from the Camera folder on the internal storage to the Camera folder on the SD card on a daily basis. It then deletes the original files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SonicJoe:
So far, everything is working, Focal included. PicSphere isn't working yet. The resolution seems off for starters, the preview image is stretched. Then I couldn't even get it take the first picture. But normal pictures work.

Strange. I had to enable it to get the extended reboot options and it was fine.

Fix for Google sound search crashing on reboot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
Worked for me. Took me a little bit to find the option but boosted all speakers by 5 and no issues hearing it now. Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ruben8448:
Where is the option? I downloaded it but I can't find where to boost the sound
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docnok63:
Okay. I just clean flashed this and Focal functionality is much improved. Images are still being sent to the Gallery 90 degrees counter-clockwise (neither KT or Chronic kernels fixed this), but the easy fix is to take all you pics with Focal with the phone in landscape orientation.

I tried enabling Voice+ and it FC'd for me and I couldn't figure out how to stop the FC messages so I had to reflash. I'm not going to enable it again and run this ROM as my dd for a bit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] M@XLOL:
Enable voice+ in accessibility
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
Under the last tab Specific. It's right under ZRAM - Sound Control.

Edit: I'm not sure if you paid or not but you need to pay for the key to use it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docnok63:
I don't see it, can you point the way? Type and/or screenshot please.

EDIT: OMG, NM. It's right at the top. My bad. *hides head in shame*
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ahatzz11:
What is voice+?

Is anyone else having issues with the app drawer? I did a clean install of yesterday's build and I can't pick any application from the app drawer. It always goes to the first app in that row.

Also, is the ir blaster working?

Edit: yes it is working! The app drawer glitch also stopped.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] techspecs:
When I installed I lost root. Normal? I was able to flash the root zip in recovery but I didn't expect to have to from the OP.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] msburr87:
The gapps package includes one of each and the ROM includes one of each

I just updated the OP to reflect the proper GAPPS. This package only has things not in the ROM/Play Store already.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bunchdx:
Just flashed this and I'm really impressed with the performance very smooth ROM!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SonicJoe:
Interestingly, my Focal pics displayed normally in the gallery. Then I flashed invisiblek's unofficial from today, and the pictures I took with this version are now showing 90 degrees rotated. However, new pics from Focal are showing properly. I'm not sure what's the difference in the commits, but this seems like odd behavior.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
Focal pics showed normal on mine too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thehotboy:
i paid for the key & still do not see anything; are you using a different kernel?

and i keep getting force closes on the ASOP keyboard even tho i am not using it n disabled gesture
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
I use the ktoonsz AOSP 4.3 Kernel but I didn't think that made a difference for sound. And I use the paid version of SwiftKey for my keyboard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blue26:
I haven't seen too many posts from people about their battery life with these builds, how has it been for all of you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crossen0:
Trixster isn't working for me now. Every time I open the app it closes saying it needs a rooted phone and root access. This makes no sense since I'm running this ROM and I do have root access.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
I'm not really sure. I use kTweaker for my main kernel tweaking app. I only downloaded Trickster for boosting my volume. I don't know anything about the app.

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------

I'd give you a response but I'm running Invisiblek's ROM and Ktoonsz kernel so I don't think I'd be much help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] odub303:
On par if not better than cm 10.1 for me thus far. No major issues yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docnok63:
I booted into recovery to do a backup and when I came back into Android, Focal pictures are not right side up. Not sure how that happened, but glad it did. Still on KT's 4.3 kernel FWIW. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grillrd:
How is the reception? I had to stop using it a few days ago due to data dropping often.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrtruckincowboy:
Never had a data issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
Just had my data switch to GSM for no apparent reason. Couldn't switch it back to CDMA no matter what I tried. Had to flash back to aokp
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SonicJoe:
Yeah. It seems that after a reboot they return to being off 90 degrees.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] msburr87:
Running like a C-H-A-M-P!!! Thanks. Only bugs Ive noticed (so my post isn't completely pointless although they are probably already known) is HDR doesn't work on focal leading me to reset data on the app, and I had tons of treb FCs so I just use apex. Awesome work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] elliwigy:
can someone point me in direction to read on wat focal is? lol mine fcs off the bat but i want to kno wats special about it.. roms running and looking great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
That's nuts man. I haven't seen this before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
Yeah the Samsung zsl cherrypick broke HDR. I'll ditch it in tomorrow's build. The strange thing is when HDR does work, its dirty as hell and looks really dark.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] elliwigy:
nvm! flashed ktoons now focal working like a champ.. no rotations or n e thing goin on here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thehotboy:
yeah thats why; it mentions it kernel specific as for my keyboard i am using kii .. idk why it keeps mentioning the AOSP FC tho
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SellswordShev:
dirty flashed 8/4 , been using 7/30 as my daily for over a week and its lovely, noticeable battery improvements over 4.2.2, and bluetooth streaming issues finally fixed. 8/4 also looking great so far, focal works like a champ, and I love that they got rid of Android's stock whacky stretched preview, you actually get to see the full view of the camera sensor! Only complaint I have left with 4.3 is the scrolling slowness in some apps (cpu spy and tasker the two worst right now). These apps had generally badly optimized GUI so nothing to do with the ROM just 4.3 GPU changes making it worse I assume.

Thanks a lot for these builds, they are great
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
Confused me too. Received a text and went to reply and it wouldn't send. Checked mobile setting and it switched. Tried switching back and right back to GSM. Tried the LTE on off app. Airplane mode. Seemed like I had an international type. Things were spelled weird and was set to metric units by default..just seemed odd
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
Which recovery are you on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scott62185:
Not sure what I'm dong wrong-can't figure out how to take a self-pic (use the front facing camera) in Focal. I can get it into front facing mode but when I click the shutter button, it doesn't take the pic...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thehotboy:
i think it was mentioned that the front facing camera is messed up in 10.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SellswordShev:
so many people having issues linked to that CWM recoveru, I would put something about that in the first post. I've flashed several of these with the official TWRP without issues, so I would recommend that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
TWRP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thehotboy:
i think thats what the OP is telling us not to use; personally im using TWRP too but it seems like CWM is the way to go
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
I've always used cwm. The fact that Koush does so much awesome work for cm, not to mention his stand alone apps, gives me 100% confidence in his work. His recovery source is included in cm's source also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dobo84:
Yeah CWM is really the way to go. I was never a fan of that twrp splash screen it use to hang on me all the time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docnok63:
In my post I meant to type *now* right side up. I'm also on KT's 4.3 kernel. I think this kernel fixes the orientation of the pics taken by Focal. Chronic's new one does not, even though it was compiled at a later date.

I've been running the ROM all day and took the extra time to set up my homescreens and folders. I'll be making in my dd for a while now that the 10.2 stuff is actually working.

I've been able to take FFC pics without the green distortion. Perhaps it's KT's kernel once again fixing an issue with the stock kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrtruckincowboy:
Its touch and go with both cameras they are not 100% yet but at least they work apart of the time :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tats_06:
I really love 10.2!!! Even with little glitches here and there, I am sticking to it. I am still on the I545VRUAMDK radio. Just wondering if I should flash the new one or stick to this one. Have not had issues, but wanted to see if the newer ones works better with CM? Thank you!!! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
Cool man. The next time I execute

repo sync

. build/envsetup.sh && brunch jfltevzw

I'll consider your comment. Just kidding. The 3 of us are building from identical code.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scott62185:
Are you kidding? Troll alert
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] HowardZ:
Invisiblek's unofficial builds support IR remote control for television. The 10.2 8/2 build does. I couldn't get 8/3 to work properly, perhaps a bad download since there are no MD5s. The 8/4 and 8/5 didn't have IR working, so I am sticking with invisibleK's CM10.2 8/2 version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
My builds include IR starting with the 8/02 (iirc). MD5s are in the OP and if I remember to, I usually also include the MD5 in the "notes" section on Google Drive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] HowardZ:
Wonderful. I will give it a try.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] InGeNeTiCs:
Is there a changelog?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SonicJoe:
IR works for me on both builds, FWIW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] InGeNeTiCs:
Awesome. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xaositek:
First off(!) Keith has been doing a GREAT job. Getting the cherry picks and giving us a functional product before invisiblek earns him some definite respect.

Now I'll keep running his builds until (A) he decides to quit (which he said once on post #83) or (B) someone else creates a version that has features that mean something to ME.

I guess the question for Keith is... do you plan on continuing the daily builds or should be start swapping to another build as we feel comfortable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
I'm doing these just until I get my vanilla android build where I want it to be. Maybe this weekend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fallingd0wn:
Keith,

Can I ask which commits you're using to add IR support? I was looking through CM gerrit but wasn't sure which ones I needed.
