Hmm not really sure I know I have tried ART, but there was too many apps that didnt work so I went back to Dalvik. However I think I have somewhere done a clean install again.

Anyone running TSF Shell launcher?

Im having trobule with reload alot of times. I tried TSF on Paranoid android and Slim Rom yesterday and no reloads.

Went back to AOSP RC3 today because the other roms dont support Swedish BLuetooth keyboards, but now I cant use TSF because of reloads...

If you go to advanced settings under sensors you can completely turn them off I believe that's your only option.

Correct. Thought I saw it in GravityBox settings but no, not what he's looking for as well:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] perr0.br:
Is it possible to customize the quick settings buttons in this ROM? I can't find it anywhere?

Also is It possible to add some settings buttons above the notification window?

Guys, something small to tell you, been busy last 2 days on making a android server (cli only but with wlan and ssh) that can run on a phone while it lays next to the router without ac (battery drain is like UBER UBER little, drained 0% in 5 hours XD!). I started this because the old Galaxy Ace (of my mother) is not used for anything else. so I thought why not make a server of it. So I did an alpha. this version will not be released tho. Also that it's only for galaxy ace atm XD. Made a logo for it.

As usual I share an usual project once in a while, this is one of them, don't worry about it stopping my dev for aosp or whatever strange thoughts, everything stays as it is, just sharing this new thingy :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] saphirrot:
hey, cool news about this project !! but, i havent a clue what you made this for :D can you explain in just one or two sentence, what this is used for ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
I don't know yet tbh, but I will certainly use it for some IRC bouncers, and maybe some other stuff, after all it's free to run it ;) and it takes no space whatsoever
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] drnjstj:
After a couple of days of rc3+ patches version. I must say it is working great! The word correction doesn't crash any more. Nice. Only if a word had a red line underneath it the it suggested corrections are in English. So way better then rc2.

Feels close to a final release.

Thank you, donated some money 8GK48656XN545815E for your hard work.

What you guys suggesting using ART or installing Xposed+Gravity (works only with dalvik)??
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Without xposed the Rom is rather bland, imho. Too many things "need" to be done with xposed/Gravitybox.

Plus, using Dalvik you won't miss a thing, it's smooth, fast, efficient. So just go with it and tweak your heart out using Dalvik + xposed :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] drnjstj:
Well I am on ART now. It makes de phone fly. Once you tried it, there is no way back to dalvic.

And really what you need from xposed? The battery percentage, just download an battery percentage app and all is great.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] perr0.br:
I need the quick settings customization and the brightness control.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] frans777:
I actually see no difference on speed... dalvik is the best for me cause of xposed
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DuckMcQUack:
If you really are so maniac about smoothness and speed you can download brrodparts lite from the store (or any kernel tweaking app like trickstermod) and change the default governor from interactive to ondemand ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] drnjstj:
You are joking, right?

It makes apps so much faster! If you click an app is directly loaded.

What is doesn't do is make a connection faster, so slow internet is still slow.

To [MENTION=1867148]Pfeffernuss[/MENTION] and others please try and judge for your own.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
If you think changing the battery is what Gravitybox is about it's simple: it's not for you.

Just use Art and be done with it, simple :good:

It's not faster, it's not smoother, it's just more bland. To each his own :D

Thanks, but of course I already did. On the Nexus 7 and SGS4. On both devices it didn't offer me the pleasure of the altered battery icon, so kept Dalvik + xposed + Gravitybox + numerous other mods (like to change my battery icon a lot).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] perr0.br:

After the first boot you have to go to xposed installer and update framework, then reboot and all your settings will be applied again ;)

Now, I'm not sure if this is a problem with the ROM, but I was wondering if anyone is having focus issues with the AOSP(/CM?) camera?

Whenever I take a picture, the picture looks like it is focused correctly, everything is clear. Once I click the shutter button, it takes the picture, looking fine. However, once I open it in gallery, it is blurry.

AFAIK, there's no shake reduction/compensation, so what could be the cause here? If it's any point to consider, this only began happening for me on RC3.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ijat91:

Yup, noticed it too for the front camera, it properly focus but the picture in gallery look like out of focus
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] expl0de:
Do you wait enough for the galery to clear the pictures, first they all look blurry, but after 10 sec they are ok.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ijat91:
Nope, still look fuzzy for me
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] blackdub370:
For me rc1 is better than rc2,rc3 and priv build. Most stable and smoother

If it helps, I've tried opening the photos from both the Camera/Gallery, then Google+'s "Photos", and Root Explorer. Same result.

Also, 10 seconds is a LONG time to wait for this sort of thing given current processing power, unless you have tons and tons of photos.

Same here. I didn't recall having this as an issue on TW, and my friend's Galaxy S III doesn't seem to have this issue on AOSP.

I'm about to flash RC3 sometime soon, which recovery do you guys recommend? I guess my Clockwork Mod Recovery 6.0.3.6 won't cut it anymore, huh? :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] skeamznz:
Just upgrade to cwm 6.0.4.4 and you will be good to go.

Thank you, I'll do that then!

I'm on RC3 using CWM 6.0.3.6 with no problems
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tozenator:
Ah okay. I read some time ago that you'd need to have the latest recovery since they have a "special patch" in order to work on KitKat, but I don't think that's true. It's probably the safest to use the latest recovery though.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jeffnz:
yes most likely so you prompted me to update mine so thanks for that. I did have philz a long time back but find CWM touch easier for some reason.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Fouad Aslam:
TWRP is also great, better than CWM in my opinion. Touch buttons are bigger and easier and the backups are done much faster.

I'm using your priv-build atm, with KT-Kernel (latest AOSP), dalvik as runtime.

I get always an force-close if I write something wrong and want to let it being corrected by the spell checker. I have installed the google keyboard.apk and under spell checker google-spellchecker is set. I've attached the logcat as txt file (remove the docx at the end)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] TemporaryTester:
If you've been having issues with the camera, try the attached APK, which I pulled straight from RC2's ZIP.

Install it by copying it to /system/app, replacing the existing one. Set permissions to rw-r--r-- or 755, and reboot.

And yes, this breaks HDR. But who cares about HDR if your picture isn't in focus?

I may cook up a flashable zip version tomorrow if testing goes well.

He was talking about an "APNs list" before, that got me thinking that if my APNs weren't on the "list" my data wouldn't connect properly. Which it didn't, at first, on 4.3.1. I googled dozens of times but I found no answer to my problem whatsoever, so I thought that my APNs were the culprit. Or, my phone is just special in a very annoying way.

RR

Hi all,must say this rom (RC3) is purest 4.4.2 experience I had on S4.

Just couple of thoughts on random reboots if anyone finds them usable.

I came from Jamal's latest and Danvdh ROMs, and both were causing RRs.

(yes, I did full wipes between changing roms)

Usually RR triggered boot-loop in my case.

During boot loops, trying to enter custom recovery always seemed difficult or if succesful - lasted very short.

.....

EDIT: Solved, not ROM related. Thanks to guidance of caja (post below) and report to Samsung Customer Care, new battery is on its way. Issue with specific batches of S4 batteries, they replace for free. Stupid thing that battery started misbehaving exactly after switching to 4.4.2

I'm using RC3 with xposed and gravitybox and I'm experiencing some freezes when pulling the notification drawer. Sometimes when I pull it or just after clicking some notification and when the notification is about half the screen it freezes for about 8 seconds and then it continues normally.

I used RC3 without gravitybox for a couple days and I don't remember it happening, so maybe it's related to gravitybox.

Someone else experiencing this?

Nice features in this rom but I'm not sure about performance. I'm getting around 25000-26000 in Antutu, around 11500 in 3dmark and 9500 in quadrant.

I know benchmarks are not everything and the rom does feel pretty good to use, but with all the performance tweaks included I expected at least as good as stock.

Now back to the old good NO TOUCH Koush CWM.

It does boot, and in a short time, but still no boot animation.

Something weird . I use Heimdall (Linux tool for Odin) to flash various files. I need a valid PIT file to do it. I usually save the one from my device, but it failed, even after many tries. Even with the official PIT file, I couldn't flash recovery. I adb sideloaded recovery.zip to install CWM.

So I am wondering if all our boot/recovery issues don't come from a corrupted/bad PIT file ??

Just my 2 cents.
