Please guys do not trust everything you read on XDA, and read the thread until the end.

GCC optimization flags is a very tricky topic which always leads to flame. I do not think at all there exists like a "miracle" combo, and following the

KISS principle is most often the best path.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
I know. Im not using his values. His conclusion in general is that -o3 is better than -oS.... Which is extremly obvious in the first place, I keep the configuration im currently using.

btw I did switch from linaro 4.8 to 4.9.1
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gabx:
I know you know. ;)

Sounds like a good idea
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] David_cole:
Surely it wouldn't of taken him "200 hours of work" just to work one thing out. Are you sure that his way isn't as good? I read thru the whole post and he seems to make some very good points.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
I am not saying it's good or bad. I just want to point out that I'm glad that I finally reach stable releases almost, and I dont want to push the dev back again because of some stupid gcc parameters (which are very important tho but take tons of time to test).

my rom compiler flags could be improved, but as im kinda limited in gcc knowledge I first want to release stable.

but the kernel on the other hand is fully optimized. (other people also use my flags, such as liquidsmooth)

and 200 hours says nothing, I mean i have spent over thousands of hours to get familiar with AOSP in the first place. because I always try everything without having a good source of information. learning the hard way..

so i am not trying to insult his post, but his main conclusion was that -o3 is faster then -os which is so obvious. it's all about the extra flags that are passed.

but I am in for some mild optimizations for rom compile with sabermod 4.8, if anyone knows what he's talking about leave me some parameters and ill give you a cookie :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] David_cole:
I see. Thanks for clearing it up.. I have no doubt your rom will be lightening fast and stable :)

Hi Broodplank, finally I have decided to upgrade my bootloader to a kitkat loader. I've upgraded both radios to FNC9. So both radios have the same version.

It seems to me it's worth to do.

In my neighbourhood ( Haarlem) Vodafone is introducing LTE now. I've got a faster lock on FTE and even with very low values (< - 110db) I'm getting stable LTE connections. Also making or receiving and fallback to a 3G phonecall during a 4g LTE session (CSFB) seems more fluent to me.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Brotuck:
Broodplank, is it possible to merge some functionality in your aosp version ?

I know you will not be doing this unless it adds stability. But i want very few added features, like quit hours from c-rom added to this release.

ok, good that you share it, since it will be similar to my experience (even tho I have t-mobile, i live in the netherlands like you) i am a newbie when it comes to bootloaders and modems for the s4.

and btw I have in Nijmegen ( < 90db)

No. sorry i wont break my own laws. broodrom will come with its extras. but aosp stays aosp ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Today I will post PreFinal build with kernel compiled with Linaro 4.9 and built using neon-vfpv4 hardfloat, so we can decide whether it makes a difference from softfloat / linaro 4.8, also more fixes included of course.

more info soon
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] David_cole:
You are a champion.. I'm glad I decided to give this rom a go last month... I doubt I will flash anybody else's rom for quite a while.

Also regarding a post you made saying you might upgrade bootloader... Not a good choice.. The old bootloader allows for more... Once you are on the new one you are stuck on it and won't be able to flash older roms (no reason that you'd want to... But good to still have the choice) you can however freely update your modem/baseband to the latest version without upgrading bootloader. IMPORTANT is tho that you only flash the GSM modem... IF you flash the full package you will lose all sound and have no wifi.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Thanks, hehe when you try a stable aosp (and have no problems with minimalistic roms) you won't get away from it for a long time hehe.

And uh, maybe you misinterpreted that, because I will never do that nor recommend it to anyone, afaik the new modems dont need new bootloader so why even bother uploading the bootloader, right :p. and thanks for that information, its helpful.

Happy to help.... You can past it on to anybody in future that is unsure :)

New PreFinal Release, Linaro 4.9.1 HF build

Ok here is the build to see whether hardfloat (vfpv4-neon) is better or worse then softvfp. this time i decided to leave a change log, else people don't know why they should upgrade to this new prefinal.

Changes:

- New EGL drivers from Qcom

- Kernel compiled with Optimized hardfloat Linaro 4.9.1 A15 toolchain

- Kernel updated to 3.4.91

- Added early version of gappsinstaller (settings > about device) instead of updater

- Several bluetooth pairing & compatibility patches

- Camera app up-to-date with CM

Download:

http://www.broodplank.net/files/AOSP442-I9505-PreFinal_Linaro-4.9.1-(vfpv4-neon-hf).zip

I need info about: Overall feeling of release, have to find difference between softfloat and hardfloat, and next thing that is important is Bluetooth.

And I also want to know if someone has the FC on adding word to user dict. and whether he/her is using my gapps package or some other one

:angel:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ChaoticUnreality:
What apps are included in your gapps? I've been using BANKS minimal package and been happy with that. Wondering if yours is minimal as well or if you have all the apps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Minimalistic, its only 24mb. its just only something that I need to know for the people that have user dict fc. because I have to trace it down, and so far I have been unable to. and it has been a bug since the first release xd
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] munichsfinest:
Just use Swiftkey :p:D

Just downloaded and about to dirty flash it, I will try to give you some feedback.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Rofl like that is a solution, haha i dont even have the FC, but some users do, and I must know why that is caused, using an other keyboard is such an easy workaround but wont solve anything.

Ok thanks, let me know.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] munichsfinest:
Just to be sure, do I override some of your changes if I flash dalvik/bionic patches or the newest Adreno driver? Or would you rather like me to leave them out altogether for the sake of testing?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] John_wba:
I have never had any force close on adding my own words, lol and I've added hundreds ;) I will test the new version now and report how it feels.

Bluetooth extensive test coming soon

I' currently quite busy at work. Later on I will be extensively runnning tests, especially on bluetooth. Two days ago I bought a bluetooth headset that supports A2DP, steaming media to headset. It also has NFC pairing so I believe I might be of help at that section. But I have no clue about all those building optimisations and I also I wouldd like to ask you if it is possible to upload your kernels separately from roms, as I like to test other kernels as well but when I come back to yours, I have to reflash the whole rom. What is the difference with Os flags and optimization tools etc. (linaro,O3 and others)? Please give us just a clue or refernce link.

After updating to your latest release, I've got connection problems. Data connection falls away repeatedly (5 times per 3 minutes) and it switches between 3g and 4g very often while I always had a steady 4g connection here (home) . I've tried going back to your old release, because I made a backup before installing your latest release, but I still have this problem now.

Any idea how to fix this? My phone is unuseable now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Omg this is such a lie lol, that Andr.Exploit.Ratc is just coming from SuperSU and is no virus at all of course.. shame on the AV. root is not a virus, it's a gain XD

Thats weird also I havent change anything to the network so It must be your provider. If you still have the problem with an older release it even proves it more that this is not because of my rom xd. did you upgrade modem?? or is your provider having issues?

And btw the problem that data could drop now and then is part of 4.4.2 in general, it's fixed in 4.4.3 (this was a bug made by google xd)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] John_wba:
I now get the FC when clicking on saved words... I didn't have this bug on previous version.... Also is it possible you could make us a separate zip with your kernel? Thanks mate.

Phone won't boot using your kernel so I'm guessing it doesn't support f2fs? Once I flash KT kernel it boots fine.

Dictionary fc persists with latest ROM and your gapps. No mods at all and only hangouts and tapatalk added. I will get you a log if you like.

On a side note, how do you justify the heavily modded aosp theme but stand firm on no other mods? KitKat was not about a whiteout theme with holo blue accidently left behind. The white status bar was all about consistency with statusbar transparency.

Sent from my Galaxy S 4

Edit: not complaining, don't think that. The theme is nicely done, just not aosp in the least.

[MENTION=4354408]broodplank1337[/MENTION]:

Can you actually walk us through how to de-theme this ROM? The white-everything is kinda annoying me, and swapping in frameworks and stuff from RC3 is hardly the best option.

In other news, I was getting catastrophically bad lag on the latest release...Until I realised that either my internal storage or external SD is dying. So, now, I'm sitting here trying to get as much of it out as possible.

Why, Samsung, why? I like this phone... But it's killed 2 (maybe now up to 4) SD cards, and its own proximity sensor! Never been dropped either...

Don't believe he has his stock kernel setup for F2FS . I had no problems using KToonsez though... And you i9505 peeps have another kernel available that has F2FS support. Forget the name of it

Went to check out Nameless Rom yesterday, but due to high temperatures and lesser battery usage, I came back here.

Downloaded latest version, did clean install, but halfway in restoring my apps (via TB), my softkeys won't work anymore (both back and menu).

I can do a clean install again, same problem occurs and I can't find out where it is coming from. Might be the ROM, as I haven't ever seen this, but might also be a gapp which triggered it (which would be really strange).

Any tips?

Edit:

Keyboard also doesn't seem to work:confused:

Edit2:

Cause was google keyboard. When switched back to aosp keyboard, softkeys work again. However, didn't have this in previous versions and by my knowledge is the version of the google keyboard still the same.

I tried with alucard's but I couldn't. What steps did you do?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] munichsfinest:
Well, I already had everything on f2fs with KT, then I flashed alucard, rebooted and that was that. Some two or three weeks ago maybe with v2.6.6lb for AOSP.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
Did you converted the Rom with KT tool?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] djmik21:
You should only convert the rom. After you format cache and data partition to f2fs you flash the converted rom your gapps and the kernel of your liking. The method is the same for both kt and alucard.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] TemporaryTester:
You wanna go there, mate?

Original:

I see where you're coming from in that I didn't say please or thank you, but this is hardly rude IMO. It is terse and to the point, without being accusatory or "whiny". I don't see please or thank you on many other posts that I see here, either, and XDA has cleaned up significantly since the older days where threads would just break into fights.

Actually rude:

Now, this is rude. Not willing to learn or understand, accusing the ROM of being total crap.

Courteous:

...While this sounds like a business email to a contact that I haven't spoken to in years. Hardly the appropriate tone for an online forum.

You pick and report at your own leisure, I couldn't care less about this account.

In other news, I tested my phone without the external SD card inserted. Phone is working great yet again.

So, I invested time overnight to test my external SD card. Read/write test came back without errors, but significantly slower than promised (6MB/s read, 3.7MB/s write on a four-year-old Class 6 card). I think this just means that the card is reaching the end of its service life.

It really seems like the MTP r/w speed for internal storage is affected by the speed of the external SD too. File transfers to the internal seem to go faster without the bad external card inside.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ChaoticUnreality:
So not sure if this is caused by the rom or not but ever since I flashed the newest version (I updated my gapps at the same time) I've been getting error code -24 and insufficient space errors when I try installing things from the play store.

I did a clean flash this morning and after spending an hour setting it up rebooted (for adaway) when it booted back up it was like I had just flashed the rom. All the apps I had installed were missing. Any idea what could cause this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] TemporaryTester:
Mine works fine on AT&T in the USA. Go to your signal status (Settings > About phone > Status) and see if your mobile network type is being reflected correctly (HSDPA/HSPA) or if it is just showing as UMTS. If it's the latter, there's an actual connectivity issue, and you should maybe look into changing modems. The former just means that the indicator icon is broken for some reason.

Wonky USB port, maybe? I have a friend that this happened to on their SGS3; I think the USB port just detached from the board. She got so frustrated with wiggling to get it to charge that she dropped for a Nexus 5 about a month ago. Just putting it out there that it's more likely a hardware defect.

FYI, this ROM doesn't have a notification chime for charging... Unless you added it with Xposed.

There should be a way to check your partition size for /system and /data in recovery, along with how much free space there is remaining. You could also try Settings > Apps, and look to see how much of the "Internal storage" bar is filled.

As for the latter, it sounds like your phone is wiping itself on boot. Check for init.d or addon.d scripts that may have been flashed/added by mistake, otherwise do a full wipe (format /system, /data, /cache, then install the ROM) and pray that it doesn't happen again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ChaoticUnreality:
I have restored to the backup I made before and it appears to be working now (same rom was doing the clean flash to try and fix the play store issue). It was the 3rd/4th reboot since flashing that it happened on. I've looked at the partitions by doing su df in the terminal and I have space on all of them so not sure whats up.

When I have time I'll try doing a full format/flash but need my phone working for that.
