[MENTION=4354408]broodplank1337[/MENTION], mate, your 4.4.3 Beta 1 fixed the BT issue with my Merc! Everything is working great again! I'm upgrading now to your latest, so I'll be testing it further over the next few days.

Also, to chime in on the SuperSU issue, I'm using 1.94 also. I need to have Superuser in /data/ and not /system/. This is because I play a game (Love Live! School Idol Festival) that is very temperamental about root. Worse still, I play another game (Puzzle & Dragons) that is fine with root, but hates Xposed/Cydia, so no RootCloak for me. I need SuperSU's "Cleanup and reinstall from Google Play" functionality for it, so I've remained on 1.94.

With regards to the media scanner/SD card issue, I (and apparently some other devs) decided that the Android scanner isn't worth fixing, so I'm now on GoneMad Music Player, which has its own scanner and doesn't have these problems. I

did not

investigate whether the behaviour has changed on 4.4.3, so...yeah.

Hi broodplank, I've just installed the beta2. Everything is working very well. But now I'm reading this post. What does this zip ? Do I've to install this. And if yes can I make an update over beta 2 or do I've to do a clean install again? :(

Hi Broodplank,

I'm testing 4.4.3 beta2 for a few hours now.

The improvement compared to 4.4.2 is impressive!

The graphics are much smoother and the chromecast handling is much better on my phone!

I've tested Netflix, Plex and YouTube. Super!

With te 4.4.2 I've got hickups sometimes casting Plex and uitzending gemist and YouTube.

Now everything is running perfect.

I've also installed the latest Google camera from the playstore. Photosphere and Hd is super.

For me the beta2 feels more stable than the latest 4.4.2 build.

For me 4.4.3 is a big improvement.

I'm also using a tab3 Samsung tablet. Still running the 4.2.2. Samsung Rom. Very slow with a lot of bugs. But till now not any update from Samsung. A shame!

People like you give us the possibility to improve our Android experience.

You are my hero!

Thats good to hear, Mercedes was violating the bluetooth spec (according to comments at aosp gerrit change), which was causing the inconsistency, google adjusted their spec to the mercedes bluetooth spec instead of the other way around (guess its much faster then waiting for merc to take action).

The media scanner issue is now fixed btw. so not an issue anymore

Good that you like it, idd the graphical engine seems boosted, in several ways.

You have HDR working on google cam? :eek: i get just grey pics there (maybe different gapps?)

And yes it feels pretty stable, but actually the browser (chromium_org) is anything but stable atm, I have experienced 1 total device freeze while browsing that kept occuring until forcing phone off. so thats the biggest concern atm.

And yes compared to a samsung prebuilt touchwiz "doorn in t oog" rom the difference is really big. you just feel that the tw rom is poorly built and heavily loaded for nothing.

Every device I will own will get pure AOSP, so you never know. ;p

and btw we are also running a new project now which will make aosp possible on all (cm) devices, but this is still somewhat of a secret

Thanks :p

So Beta2 isn't ART compatible yet?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Broli@666:
Hello Brod, tried your beta 2 with your gapps and I must say, very very nice!

But 4 things wasn't working for me:

- syncing contacts with google always failed (rechecked with other ge rom and there was it OK)

-root was working, but as mentioned here before, can't open the apk without annoying prompt for install it in recovery

- front cam picture while video chat is deformed

-no h or h+ symbol, but it's recognized correct

You will make it! Your rom is great and so so fast!

Greetings broli

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] swa100:
So more people don't always see the connection symbols. Hmm..

Edit: Syncing contacts doesn't work here either.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ijat91:
I also don't have h+ logo, for superSU update, root function as normal, just annoying pop up asking for update when opening the app, i solved it by using the older version and then update the app through playstore, work like charm
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Toss3:
Are there any optimized libs that work with this ROM? Tried both the One Plus One's Dalvik as well as the CM-11-optimized ones and both result in a bootloop. The bionic patches work fine though.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Toss3:
Syncing contacts works just fine, but you have to press the sync button a couple of times before it works.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Broli@666:
Tried it many times..

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505G mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Toss3:
Just keep pressing it until it works :) Same problem on CM 11, and many other people in that thread have reported that repeated pressing of the sync contacts button works (and it worked for me as well on this rom).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rndll:
Anyone else experiencing short battery life lately? Is it the ROM or a problem with Google Play services again?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] swa100:
I've got syncing contacts working after a few clicks, like toss3 said.

The data connection symbol is still missing very often. I've read that more people have this problem. Is there still nobody who knows how to fix this issue :(?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Thanks for your feedback, :) I also had 2 of these problems.

will take a look at them

it does not work, its because of zygote implementation, its too difficult to explain atm

This will actually ban you from google sync for a short amount of time, i did this, looked in logcat, and it said, RATE LIMIT EXCEEDED.

This may be because not all network modes are implemented successfully yet.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pimjai:
Can i just flash the 4.4.3 beta without wiping, or should i factory reset? I'm curently on the latest prefinal release from the 4.4.2 ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] TemporaryTester:
Okay, that may make sense. Battery life just hasn't been the same recently; went from about 3% per hour to 9%. This started, however, way back around when the prefinal releases were first coming out, but I couldn't tell whether that was just due to me using my phone more, Viper4Android's EQ, or other factors. Right around the time when everyone (except me) began complaining about HSPA/HSPA+ issues.

I didn't bother wiping, and everything appears to have transitioned fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Ok step 1 is done, ART is fixed now finally. the actual reason it was jammed is because of gcc 4.8, I now have a fix for that and it works again.

Next step is bricking back the previous network states, and maybe some other stuff as well (that I dont remember atm)

edit: i included zip with working libart.so, just push to /system/lib and enjoy working art
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] drnjstj:
For me, this is the only real open issue atm.

Thanks for fixing ART.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ChaoticUnreality:
I'm assuming that at this point work as stopped on the 4.4.2 version. If that is the case could you put the 4.4.3 link in the OP. I installed it last night and had to go digging through the thread for the link.

Everything is working fine on my end with the newest beta.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Yes it's pretty unclear at this moment, I will update OP on next release. Just wanted to keep the most stable version in the OP for now. The next 4.4.3 release will be PreFinal just like 4.4.2 is now. after that full stable.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] troullis2004:
Is art working for you? I pushed the lib but nothing.

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

My mistake. I had forgotten to change lib.so permissions to rw-r-r. After doing so, no problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] swa100:
So just move libart.so to system/lib?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
yep, its that simple. if you do it inside an file explorer, make sure file permissions are RW-R-R (644)

if you push it by adb you dont need to set perm, default is RW-R-R for all pushed files

Anyways, no more football talk pls, these posts all will get wiped by a moderator anytime soon if we continue.

I will release PreFinal release this day. contain ART fix and some others, but not all, as it's a PreFinal. this will be the last build until the first real Stable build. :) And I am not assuming there is something coming any time soon that will push back the progress again.

So you can expect the PreFinal today

Beware people, The new project we are currently kickstarting, done by cooperative teamwork (broodROM Team + Octo-Kat Team) will soon have a stable AOSP like this on more devices then you could ever dream of. (mainly all cm devices). more info on that when it's ready :cool:

Killed it!

Anywayssss... I bought the S5 about a month ago so I'm hoping on some support (firstly by CM) TW makes me go crazy, but still no rom that is worth tripping knox :D. S4 support remains i hope?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] novalkar:
Hi, i've been using your ROM on my S4 since last year and i've been more than pleased with the results :). Right now i'm using the 4.4.3 beta 2, i just have a couple of questions about some apps that don't work perfectly on it (might be my fault though).

The first one is the conjunction between "KKSR" and "MX Player" using the hardware decoder, I recorded a video and tried to play it back and the colors were all distorted, this didn't happened though while using the software decoder, is this a problem with the player? or the recorder? or is it from the ROM?

The second one is on most Android VNC Server solutions (i'm currently testing "droid VNC server" and "VNC_Server"), when trying to connect with any player (tried "Vinagre" on "Fedora 20" and Android VNC on the same Cellphone. Also tried "Tiger VNC" and "VNC Viewer" on Windows 7) on the first one i get no screen at all and on the second i get a distorted image (as if the reported resolution is like 10 pixels off and all the images are all diagonal).

I've found these problems before this release, so I hope you (or anyone) can help me ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Yes we will support S5 as well of course ;)

And btw for us dutchies knox does not count, in fact in entire Europe it is not being used to void your warranty. it's against our laws.

Ok thats good to hear. Ok I see you use my app KKSR, that is good, and MX player as well. either way they both have nothing to do with the ugly video playback of the recorded screen videos, I have this as well, and it is an error in "frameworks/av" or "media-caf", so you can't help it until I have found the fix for it, so it's all about the ROM base, nothing about either of those 2 apps.

The vnc problem seems a bit more complicated tho. in 4.4.3 there changed a lot of things regarding screencasting etc. so this may be the cause, but at this moment I don't know where I would need to look for fixing it.

Thanks for reporting these :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] novalkar:
Thanks for the answer, it's not a that important fix for me, cos i usually use the KKSR videos outside of the phone, but i thought it would be nice to report it.

I've had the VNC problem from way before 4.4.3, but i haven't tried it on other ROMs nor Touchwiz, just checking if you knew anything about it :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
You're welcome, ok that's good. and yes it is nice to report. I also almost start to suspect some proprietary libs. (they have screwed up the system many times)

And ok glad its not only on my rom ;p, and yes thats always smart to do, nothing ventured nothing gained.. :p

Hi Broodplank.

I've installed your latest 4.3 prefinal.

But I've restored the beta2.

My phone became unstable after 5 minutes and very very hot. It looks like an iron.

For me it was becoming dangerous using it longer.

Before going back to beta2 I was playing with the camera. The pictures I've made are out of focus.

Perhaps I had to do a clean install instead of an update. But I'm a little bit afraid using the prefinal version again.

I also had a lot of camera issues. Fi sometimes it take a long time to start the camera app.

If we take it from an technical overview, lots of other devs make a link through ex. androidfilehost or a downloadcenter they have downloaded to their website.

Where you would get a webpage named ex. www.broodplank.net/dl?=1234567890, this link would ofcourse differ depends on version. In this link you would have a DL button which pointed at another page which counted the DL. :good:

Brood links a direct address for others to DL, so unless he's somekind of deathstar superninja samurai I doubt that he has a DL VIEW tap. :fingers-crossed:

Tasty ROM broodplank! (krijg er trek van) ;)

I have a few questions though: Which custom recovery do you recommend/use yourself?

Also: i fully wiped my device but for some reason i'm often getting messages such as "Google zoeken is gestopt" without opening the app (this also happens for, Play Store, YouTube and some other apps).

It occurred before- and after installing the Google Apps Lite. The E-Mail app was even Force closing but i could fix that by clearing the app's cache.

I also can't install any .apk's i downloaded via the browser (when tapping on them it says "Can't open file").

Is there a way to repair the file association somehow? (resetting app preferences didn't seem to do the trick and the apk's are valid)

And last but not least: Is it possible to get rid off the top search bar, it doesn't really appeal to me =/

Best regards and thanks for all the effort / vriendelijke groeten,
