Does anyone know? would be nice with answers, thanks!

The included Kernel works great. I'm using what ever modem I got from the last OTA update I took (when GPe got 4.4)

I've been running RC3 since it came out and don't see the need to flash anything else.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rockingsiva:
what about screencast ?

All aosp roms doest not support screen cast without chrome cast how about this rom, Any one tried that ? If TV OUT-MHL enabled might be work i hope :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Fouad Aslam:
Included modem is fine as is the kernel. RC3 is stable enough for daily use, no real issues to speak of.

Don't worry :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AzuriaN:
Thanks guys! I will get this rom tonight or tomorrow :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DuckMcQUack:
I would flash pre RC4 instead of rc3 as it has got better battery life and more optimizations than the last official release. You have to dig into the last pages of the thread to find the download link as it has not been added to the original post.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
you're right about that, although it only happens when like opening a video, then turning your device to landscape mode, then it will crash. I hope this is 100% fixed in RC4. Other then that its really stable :) also no freeze at boot ^^, never again!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] RollingRoman:
I never had that issue, guess I'm lucky.

For RC4, could you take a look at those Code Aurora Optimizations? They're a bunch of ROM/Kernel patches specifically made for Qualcomm devices.

And what's that new ISO C++11 Mode in Linaro 4.9? LiquidSmooth ROM and few other seem to use it beside the usual O3 Strict-Aliasing.

Both things make the ROM even smoother (no placebo), so could you please have a look at them and maybe include some of those optimizations in RC4?

Has anyone had any problems with surfing the net with the ROM? When im reading news and click on a link or an article it doesn't respond at all, almost like i dont have any reception. But if a change to another news site then the surfing is great and then in a couple of minutes I get the same problem again. This may very well be a modem problem and not ROM so I was thinking about updating it (running MJ7 right now). Does anybody know which modem is the latest for the S4?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pitastrudl:
what app? try clearing data of the app.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] RollingRoman:
NA5 is the latest modem for the I9505. It works very well for me, didn't have any issues so far.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Damn.. had to reinstall my linux AGAIN!! (last time was on new year). why? The sudden ReadOnly error, forces you to do fsck. which removes corrupted fles (which are caused by the bug in the first place). So again my workspace TOTALLY GONE!!! ffs.. I hate that... bye all eclipse projects :') next to that it removed essential system files such as libudev.so, so had to reinstall... so here again a clean installation with all previous work done down the drain. (luckily the rom is always up-to-date on github so no loss there..)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 0kti:
That's suxxx, but do not worry, it's only linux, take your time
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
I do worry actually because this happened to me too many times. every time I lose everything.. it's kinda frustrating as you might can imagine
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 0kti:
Maybe once in week/2 weeks make backup of your files/settings to some cloud (dropbox/mega/gdrive)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Well I'm going to store nothing thats important on the main linux drive. thats what I will do, So it cannot remove the "corrupted" files (aka all my hard work) suddenly
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] !crazy:
Now seriously, how can a serious developer like you allow that to him self?

Use separate, at least home partition (I have even log on different disk, backups, and anything serious on separate disks/partitions) also, reliable file system (I found ext4 just fine.), if you use Ubuntu there is a super easy tool to schedule daily incremental backups to another drive, or at least partition.

Have you tried to recover your files with live cd, or to search for them with photorec?

Also raid 1, mirroring is not bad, if possible.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] drnjstj:
That sucks m8. This happened too often to be random.

I hope you didn't loose any important data.

Maybe call 1-800-CALL-NSA and ask for the latest backup they have from your disk. :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Well it's not that I allow myself to let it happen, I have backupped my workspace in the past but forget it this time, I'm also aware that I should backup it, but the main concern is not that I do not backup, but that the Linux 3.8 kernel is kinda bugged. I dont know if you've ever experienced the sudden Read Only bug, what this does makes your filesystem unusable, and ALWAYS corrupts some files somehow. this uses without any reason. anways, when rebooting the pc, and the fsck tool runs, it "fixes" up the partition, and this time it was so worse that It actually deleted my whole workspace folder. Many users have encountered this ugly bug and imo the only REAL fix is to use a different kernel line, but then I get problems with my nvidia driver and my gpu fan blows at 100% which is like a jetplane starting up.

Anyways, I reinstalled everything now and I will be extremely carefull and setup backups etc. :p

edit: photorec actually does restore a lot! Thanks, Now just hope that It will become more readable

It is a known issue in the linux kernel. and yes I lost ALL my important data :crying::crying:

and no I use a vpn (my raspberry pi) so the NSA does not have a backup of my hdd :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chi Ahrens:
I just keep it simple and use vi for personal stuff. I use Eclipse for work stuff though, and that's all backed up magically by the company. Important stuff, though, I'll tarball it and email it to myself on ymail and gmail.

Anyhow, how do you build just the kernel from your AOSP-S4-KK/platform_kernel_samsung_jf kk-4.4_new branch? I do the normal make VARIANT_DEFCONFIG=jf_att_defconfig jf_defconfig && make and I get:

include/trace/define_trace.h:79:43 fatal error: ./adreno_trace.h: No such file or directory

I'm guessing that there is some script run from another directory. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] drnjstj:
That sucks.

So now is the time that you create a backup of that important data.

External HDD or RAID 1 HDD setup, or something automatic backup to the cloud shouldn't be too difficult, especially for a whizkid like u.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Lol you use VI, you must be hardcore linux XD. anways, I'm currently restoring my whole disk :)!! Hope I will find that workspace folder back^^

and yes for the kernel, are you compiling it with the ROM environment or without? I believe without it doesn't work that well. (make bootimage works the best)

Also you didn't define the actuall defconfig, you said: jf_defconfig but it's aosp_jf_defconfig ;)

Will do that now, and idd it's not hard for me to do, just a bit lazy sometimes xD
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] !crazy:
Try the newest kernel, and maybe latest open source drivers from oibaf repo (If you are using Ubuntu.). Or update distribution, if you are still on 12.04. Update almost always works well.

Also use the backup utility which comes with Ubuntu. It is very useful for local backups. You set it up, and forget. It updates every day, or how oft you want. For example if you turn off your computer before the backup is scheduled, it will do it when you start the machine.

Edit:

Forgot to mention, regarding photorec, since it doesn't recover names if files, and it doesn't know nothing about which copy is the last one, you should implement a simple grep script which looks for the pattern present only in last versions of your work.

Regarding NSA.. :( Who knows what **** is implemented on firmware levels, how much they influenced creation of all network protocols in use, so these have implemented backdoor etc. This stuff is very hard to find.

Also have you ever checked this:

http://underhanded.xcott.com

?

The only OS which I would give a chance in that regard is OpenBSD, and I like their philosophy, less code, less bugs, don't change to fast. Continuous code inspection is important as development of new features. But I would not be surprised not a bit, if they have their ways around that OS too.

Only chance to stop that **** IMO, is if people awake and start supporting and giving good money for Open source software AND hardware. Instead of jacking on every shiny new stuff. But this will never happen. People are stupid, and they don't care.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] RagingHarry:
Dude what about mounting the **** with a live cd and copy the important dirs to another disk?

[MENTION=4354408]broodplank1337[/MENTION] added some info about photorec in my previous post. I'm not sure what you meant with you hope it will become more readable. If you have problem with finding your stuff, check my last post, under edit. But.... Why not mentioning it again :), you can create a very simple script with grep command, for example, which will look for pattern available only in last versions of your files. I'm thinking only on text/code files obviously.

use the ramdisk of the included kernel for any other custom kernel to make it work

I'm currently investigating this. Last build is built without geofencing support (since CM disabled it as well). I will post a new build very soon (with geofencing support) which first will be a test build, and if the people with nonworking gps, confirm gps works again I will turn it into Release 6 :good:

I really hope this is the problem..

But brood what in earth is geofencing?

It's to define a virtual border around some geolocation (this is a location somewhere on the world). I just read that this is used for example to track your kids, if they leave a certain area or not (kinda sad to use it for this but this is a pretty good example I think)

Yes, in fact I noticed fast charge has been not compiled with the kernel for a long time, in RC4 it's fixed.

Hmm I don't think so, it's either HDR which already "works" or it's the stereo recording thingy which I will not port since it's kinda useless.

Anyways!!!!

You know why :D? I fixed the video out of scale bug, also the video playback crash bug!!
