Update: Added support for IR (IRDA) Blaster. I have a video that proves it works :)

(not that you guys wouldn't believe me but it's just cool to record the "invisible" beam)

credits for irda go to timo and chenxiaolong

What is nothing to our eyes is a purple mini disco for the camera

edit: a nice extra :D

This screenshot is taken with the stock kernel that will be included in next release. (my settings: -62.5mV (echo -62500 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels))

hell yeah :D (for my device that heats up to quickly this score is UBER HIGH)

Recovery

Hi All,

I need a bit of advice before I flash this ROM. I have a version of philz recovery from a couple of months back and the OP say's to load via recovery but to ensure its kitkat enabled.

Is the latest version of philz 4.4 ready ?

Is using Philz ok with this ROM? if not what should I use ?

If I download the latest version do I need to flash it with odin to upgrade it or can I use Philz recovery to flash the latest?

I'm currently on a 4.3 GE rom so my phone is saying i9505G, hence I cant use sgs flasher.

Cheers

On cwm 6.0.4.4:

I flash beta 7 + Gapps -- > All ok.

Then i flash Boosterpack v2 and supersu 1,8 ---> Can't boot.

Any clues?

EDIT - After some tries i managet to get into the ROM. This thig is really annoying, any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] swa100:
Just tried switching to ART but gapps wouldn't stop force closing. couldn't do anything with my phone so I had to change it back. Any idea's how to fix that?

Any news about exFAT on beta 7 btw? :)

How can I use SamsungIME.apk keyboard with this ROM?

I put SamsungIME.apk to system/app and deleted Google Keyboard apk but the Samsung keyboard isn't installed

Also how do I disable the LED light for notifications and when it's plugged in via USB?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ionutzvio:
This rom is great. Love it. One small question though. When I reboot sometimes it stays at samsung logo and I have to press the power button to force restart and then it boots. Is it only me or it happened to others? Any advice? I'm using v7+booster v2+gapps în op+ gravity box+Phil's recovery and dalvik. Tnx
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lither:
I'm using V7, Booster and ART and I restarted my phone but it always get stuck in the KitKat Android bootanimation, I've tried the power button and pull battery but both don't work

[MENTION=1698003]brood[/MENTION] i've to say that i returned back to your stock kernel + boosterpack after trying KToonsez's updated kernel, because it stutters a lot and also consumptions aren't so better...i'm curious to know your plans for the kernel. I suggest you to add the possibility to underclock/ overclock, gpu overclock, enable UV table and add more governors :) thx
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ionutzvio:
I tried art but it booted the same. One time good one time stuck at boot logo. I had problems with art but switched to dalvik and works great.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rjrjzozo:
Everything is working good. This rom is faster than any other 4.4. Even my exfat sdcard is recognized with the latest KT kernel. Battery consumption is very good. Better than stock 4.3. May be better because only used it since 2 days and just made 1 full cycle.

The only issue is the MIC not working with voip apps like viber hangout tango skype. Shazam is claiming "the mic is in use by another application. Hoping for a patch.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] fKm:
No issue for me. Shazam is working here.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:

I was already forgotten that I uses the CM kernel as base and then updated it to 3.4.71, but forgot about the exfat :silly: now its added. I will post a test kernel very soon ^^

How do I disable the LED light in this ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jerkysh:
Settings >Display >Pulse notification light
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lither:
Thank you, does that disable the LED for everything?

I want to know about this as well, not used to the Google keyboard
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
No only for notifications such as new messages

And for the IME. the Google one is not the one you are using, the Google one has Swype. and LatineIME does not.

Anyways, I'm still searching how to get this one working, I tried it but it just fc's before wiping app settings, after that it still doesn't work, also after a reboot it doesn't work. it's kinda strange I think. It almost looks like it forces the default IME over every other.

If i have the new KNOX bootloader which i presume is locked will flashing this unlock it or will I brick my phone?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
What phone model do you have? i9505 users don't have knox afaik. if you have a i9500 dont flash this rom!! anyways, no it will not unlock it, you need to unlock it before flashing the rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sajk12345:
I have the international version of the GT-I9505. Everything is stock and when I updated the phone I got a couple of KNOX apps and also the new bootloader. People have been flashing custom roms with this new bootloader so maybe it's not even locked. In my settings it says that my SELinux status is enforcing and secure boot status samsung. Does those 2 have something to do with the bootloader?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Hmm then I think flashing will just void your warranty but won't brick it, although I'm not sure on this. I always prevent things like these in any way. You should gather some more info before flashing imo.

btw changes staged for next release:

- More Skia optimizations (2d engine for browser and many others)

- Chromium optimizations (browser)

- Browser FC fix (this time for real)

- Network mode selection like in 4.3

- Advanced settings: fixed vibration intensity control

- Advanced settings: re-added "Gain volume in voip"

- ExFat fixed

- Screenrecording also possible in landscape mode

- Keyguard now has translucent top bar.

probably more that I forgot atm.

The things I forgot "atm":

- Vectorize bitmaps

- Patches for P2P connections, this may fix Wireless Display
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] benni_1994:
You will not brick your device. You will loose warranty because you would modify the system. I was also on the new bootloader but the rom works fine. Follow the usual instructions for getting root and install a custom recovery. After that you can install this awesome rom ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sajk12345:
Okay so I would need to get root acces before installing custom recovery?

Thanks for the help!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] benni_1994:
In case you want to backup your apps and data you need root and titanium backup. Search for "autoroot i9505" and you will find chainfires thread. After you are rooted and backed up flash cwm via odin : galaxys4root.com/clockworkmodtwrp-recoveries/

Then install the rom, gapps and Superuser zip and restore your apps with TitaniumBackup
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sajk12345:
Awesome, thank you so much for the help!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Not sure yet tbh, still researching.

btw what also will be in next release:

- Kernel: Fast Charging (usb) enabled

- Kernel: Optimized I/O

- Kernel: Optimized CPU Freq (new kind of friendly booster, no aggressive twat like samsung)

Is there a way to completely disable the LED light from lighting up such as when it's on charge?

I'm currently using LatinIMEGoogle, but I think the Samsung keyboard has something to do with TouchWiz framework

The "vibration intensity control" features you're bringing out on your next release will allow to change the vibration of the phone?

Also is it possible to hide apps in the launcher?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] fyre31:
i know this is a minor issue but maybe you can look at the front camera animation upon taking a picture also. the thumbnail that "flies" to the top right corner seems to be on the wrong orientation and stays that way.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ChaoticUnreality:
GravityBox can make it not light up when charging as well as when low battery and its not charging. Since it uses Xposed it doesn't work with ART currently.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Brotuck:
Try Light Flow (lite), it can customize every app/notification with a different color.

And disable the led during a period, like the night...

Ok even more updates for the kernel, updated to 3.4.72 and added tuned conservative governor, if you use conservative now the performance will not be bad but the cpu freq will take ALL steps. it does not skip any cpu freqs (as shown on the cpu spy screenshot). Also the for the browser, added back the history page. and no fc's except for incognito tab which seems to be disabled in webview of API 19. so that will stay like that.

Anyways, I'm now compiling it from scratch so within 45 min it will be up I guess

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
BOOM, BETA8

- Advanced settings: fixed vibration intensity control

- Advanced settings: re-added "Gain volume in voip"

- Screenrecording also possible in landscape mode

- Keyguard now has translucent top bar

- Vectorize bitmaps

- CyanogenMod Power hall (this fixes interactive going to max freq instantly!)

- Patches for P2P Connections (possible fix for WiDi)

- Kernel: Updated to 3.4.72

- Kernel: New gentle cpu booster driver

- Kernel: Enabled tuned conservative governor

- Kernel: Optimize I/O (slub optimize and frandom)

@broodplank1337, can you help me with the below questions please,

Is there a way to completely disable the LED light from lighting up such as when it's on charge in the ROM itself?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
BTW, another important release note, is that you MUST SET THE NETWORK MODE under mobile networks, ELSE YOUR RIL WILL RANDOMLY DROP OUT!!!

This is because of the change in network modes
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ChaoticUnreality:
does the v2 boosterpack work with this beta?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
First why you want to totally disable it? whats so worse about it? Anyways, if you want to disable it take a look inside: /sys/class/leds/ and tune some variables.

And yes the samsung keyboard has tw dependencies most likey.

It's not possible to hide em, but you can disable apps in general under app management. this will hide em in launcher

Yes but you will not have the benefits of the new kernel yet, I will make a new boosterpack and post it when its done ^^

What to choose ? It is way to much info.... ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
This behavior sometimes happens, nothing you can do about it. just turn phone off and on, when it happens to me I usually boot in recovery and from there restart it, it works then afaik

GSM/WCDMA/LTE (when choosing that you will see that it jumps back to LTE but thats actually some bug that is actually not true)

I did a factory reset for this version, because I noticed huge battery drain, after that reset it was normal and the network mode I mentioned above was selected

oh I just remember, If the battery consumptions stays high after the required steps it may be that the CM powerhall is the culprit xd

Thanks for the info.

Can you tell what this is ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
I guess the best way is to edit the ramdisk

edit init.target.rc

./init.target.rc: chown system system /sys/class/sec/led/led_r
./init.target.rc: chown system system /sys/class/sec/led/led_g
./init.target.rc: chown system system /sys/class/sec/led/led_b
./init.target.rc: chown system system /sys/class/sec/led/led_pattern
./init.target.rc: chown system system /sys/class/sec/led/led_blink
./init.target.rc: chown system system /sys/class/sec/led/led_lowpower

those, change those "chown system system" to "chmod 000"

to disable led

I don't know tbh :o
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lither:
I used Root Explorer to change "chown system system" to "chmod 000" and saved the file and restarted but it reverts back to "chown system system"
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
that doesn't work like that, what you see in root explorer is the ramdisk, but it will be overwritten at every boot. you really need to edit the ramdisk inside boot.img, it can be unpacked with dsixda's android kitchen

Hmm thought it was fixed, things I cannot test myself may stay bugged for a couple of releases, but I have bigger problems now then 4.4... 4.4.1 :silly::silly::silly: I thought this was a small update but damn every single repo that I manage for the rom (except 2 or so) had to be updated. Result, errors on compilation of audio-caf, and frameworks/av / frameworks/native. it's because cm merged their branches with CAF instantly, making it harder and harder to merge it correctly, and since I started just after the release I have zero support from other roms atm. Already had it booting with "make otapackage -ikj5" XD but it wasn't really nice as you can expect with that make parameters.

just made a build with normal audio and non legacy audio. im not sure if it will even boot but im going to check out now, since it built without any -k or -i :cowboy:

No use cm11 rom if you want themes this is stock android like nexus phone. Some customisations can be made with xposed and gravity box.
