[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
I have a new test build ready soon, it's uber stable so far. I have tried my very best to make it crash but it just won't happen :D, which is great.

Oh and btw, something interesting that other devs may also benefit from as well. The laggy brightness changing thingy is caused by the Qcom Powerhal it seemed, i have updated the powerhal to the one from CM, updated ueventd, and updated kernel handling of cpufreq. and all seems fine. Maybe this is the actual fix for the freezes. I cannot crash it anymore manually, so it must be good.

What I personally feel is improved since this release:

- Overall more stable system, no cpu mitigation errors and such

- Overall more stable FPS on 2D/3D

- Video playback not crashable even though I'm trying my best Additionally I merged many commits from different repos that fix UI/GUI/Screen corruption etc.

If more people confirm everything working I will become a very happy broodplank (here is my selfie)

For the sake of a clean logcat: In the test build that I'm going to release today I have also done some binary hexxing to make the logcat WAY cleaner, I did some "Shaddap you face" to those 2 binaries.

So generally things are looking very good right now! Some small problems still like the EGL issue which is so hard to fix with the Nexus 5 libs.. and some other minor things. Soon will wrap it up and release final v1.0 which will be 100% bug free as promised. then it's time for broodROM and it's developers to rise and shine ^^
