You're right, it's a preview issue (almost), the actual recorded video is in much higher quality, but it looks stretched (incorrect aspect ratio). I'll test some more quick to confirm.

-

Confirmed, it's definitely displaying a high-quality horizontally stretched image on playback (which could be the file or the playback?) in 1080p mode... testing 720p now...

-

The stretching is present in both 720p playback and 1080p playback.

-

I pulled the video files onto my PC and looked at them in VLC. If I set the aspect ratio to 16:10, the aspect ratio looks correct. Anyway, I have to go to sleep :( . Great work :) .
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] LeJay:
Didn't notice that. Thanks :). That makes a lot of sense if it's running software meant for a different camera. I appreciate the help.

With a bit of luck it's just a matter of finding the right library file. It's not like samsung is telling anyone what the function of the different files are.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] aquarat:
I appreciate the work you're doing... I won't use this phone until the camera (and GSM modem) work properly with an AOSP/CM ROM (I hate Touchwiz).
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wyvphone:
What's wrong with the GSM modem? I might have missed something; the only problems I see in the thread are potential hiccups with wifi, which are fixed by flashing a new modem. (I don't have the phone yet so I'm at the "just reading" stage.)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] aquarat:
It's a bit weird; When I load the CM10.1 ROM onto my phone, the wifi works... but when I load this ROM onto my phone the wifi doesn't work. The GSM modem works with a sim card from a network called CellC but it doesn't work with a network called Vodacom. The phone isn't network locked (it's illegal to do so in South Africa) and in addition I bought the phone from Vodacom (on a contract). In other words, the phone doesn't work with the network I got it from lol.

Before I started playing with the phone I flashed a UK ROM from SamMobile to the phone and I think that's what messed up the modem. I've tried flashing NON-HLOS and modem.bin via ODIN but nothing seems to change :( .
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] michaelmotes:
Thanks LeJay

Where would you like donations sent?

Also, how did you do this? You said you had to mount system as writable. Do you have a massive collection of samsung .so lib files? Did you just place them one by one into /system/lib until the camera connected? Or was it slightly more formulated?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] aquarat:
The camera is partially working, not fully working; it doesn't have a proper video preview, output video is in the incorrect aspect ratio and it doesn't have HDR functions in stills mode. With that said I'm extremely grateful to LeJay for the work he's done so far.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] LeJay:
Hah... I'm fine, I don't want donations.

If you extract the patch you see a bunch of .so files. These are added to /system/lib/. I'm not exactly sure how it all works together, but I think lliboemcamera is the main file that talks to the camera through the kernel driver. It's easy to write to system through a patch, but it's really slow as I need to reboot the system each time. If I could just use adb to push the file, it would be much easier to try different .so combinations.

I got it working on SGH-I537 using SafeStrap :D
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] br0adband:
Same here, was just about to post about in the other Safestrap thread but the Wi-Fi won't stay enabled so... working on that issue now, it could be related to the kernel modules Hashcode is looking to get, working on that for him as well.

GOOD NEWS however, since now we can have a lot more interesting times with our GS4A's... :D
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Hashcode:
For Safestrap users:

Added the ATT ACTIVE MF3 stock kernel modules to the downloads section.

http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=681#downloads

If you're on the locked MF3 build: Keep these on the device and flash them after any ROMs that are installed. They will sync up the kernel modules and restore wifi, bt, etc.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] ShimaMiku:
I'm familiar with CM builds, but I haven't used many AOSP builds. Is there a way (or an app) to change the quick toggles? CM builds this feature and I know it isn't present in stock builds, but I can't seem to find anything that fits the bill.

I want to leave it with the 4.2 "stock" look, just add a few buttons and change the order. If you know of a way, I would really appreciate it!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] uvbeenzaned:
Any chance of getting a 4.3 port? Or did they even do a GPE for 4.3?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wyvphone:
Like several people, I'm using this awesome port with Hashcode's SafeStrap on an AT&T S4A, so this might just be a quirk of how that's working.

Has anyone noticed wifi data disconnecting for some apps when the screen turns off? For example, the stock e-mail client is downloading mail from my account and it "pauses" when the screen is off. The same happens with application updates through the Play Store or grabbing a file through the browser; their downloads will stall until I turn the screen back on. Again, only on wifi. If I shut off wifi, "interactive" downloads will continue uninterrupted.

Confusingly, streaming apps and apps that seem intended to be in the background don't seem to be affected. TuneIn Radio continues streaming and my e-mail will alert when the screen is off. I also tested by turning on airplane mode (to disconnect mobile data entirely) and manually turning on just wifi. TuneIn is still streaming right now and I can see the phone's wifi IP address as active/connected on my access point.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] ShimaMiku:
I don't have any problems with wifi (that I've noticed), but I find speakerphone does not work. You can hear the other person but the microphone doesn't transmit sound to them. Anyone else notice this?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] pen²:
[MENTION=847074]wyvphone[/MENTION] on my galaxy nexus, there was an issue that the displayed wifi sleep policy did not stick. The remedy was: go to wifi settings, set it to disconnect when device sleeps. Reboot. Go to wifi settings, set it to keep wifi on when device sleeps. Reboot.

Maybe we have the same issue here?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] br0adband:
Ok, a question for anyone (not just someone running this ROM on the I537 presently using Safestrap):

Has anyone tested the Wi-Fi speeds? I ask because under the stock I537 MF3 ROM, using Speedtest (the app), here at home on my 11n wireless network with a Cox Ultimate 150Mbps connection the GS4A will peak at roughly 40-50Mbps for download speed and about 30-40 for upload, but since I started testing the AOSP ROM on it with Safestrap I've noticed that it has a 'soft-cap' of about 8Mbps and I can't figure out why (uploads still peak in the 30-40Mbps range, however).

I mean, I just ran 4 tests in a row on this network and I'm like 8 feet from my router (yes, we all know wireless is 100% unreliable for testing and speed purposes in the real world, I'm just saying...) and each time it'll start at roughly 8Mbps then level off at about 6-7Mbps (that's 6000-7000 Kilobits per second since the Speedtest app defaults to showing stuff in Kilobits per second).

If I reboot into the regular stock MF3 ROM and test again from the exact same location, wham, right back up to 30-50Mbps on downloads...

Anyone else noticing this 'soft-cap' of sorts with the AOSP ROM? Just curious, 'cause everything else is working just fine so far given I'm using Safestrap to run it, that is.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] br0adband:
Two things I'm hoping someone might have some info or suggestions about regarding this ROM (with respect to the device I'm using it on, the I537 AT&T model using Safestrap):

1) The screenshot feature of Android (hold Home + Power for a second or so and it snaps one automagically) isn't working - not sure if it's specific to my particular device and usage (using Safestrap, I mean) or it's an issue with this ROM - I don't see any mentions of this in the thread so far from anyone so...

2) The service menu (*#*#4636#*#*) doesn't work with this ROM as far as I can tell (again, considering that I'm using Safestrap). I can't imagine it would matter with Safestrap or not, but it's not pulling up the service menu and I'm "stuck" in LTE mode which believe it or not is worse for me in my location than being able to choose WDCMA Preferred in that menu. If anyone knows how to get that service menu I'd love to know how it's done.

Thanks...

EDIT: did some more research just now and discovered this apk to manually enable service mode as required featured in this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45031888&postcount=2491

and used it to successfully alter my GS4A from LTE to HSPA+ using the WCDMA Preferred option in the phone info so there it is for anyone else that might wish to do so themselves.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wyvphone:
It seems better but the Play Store still craps out when the display goes off and when the Play Store is in the background. If it was the last thing on screen when I hit power (or the display times out), it keeps downloading. Interesting quirk.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] my-blue-snog-box:
Power + Volume Down for a screenshot. I stumbled on it last night when reading the original thread for the ROM this one is ported from ;)

One other thing I've noticed: NFC doesn't seem to work for me. I can't read any tags that worked on my Galaxy Nexus (and my S4 Active's battery says "Near Field Communication" on it), with or without a case on my phone. NFC enables and disables just fine.

Man, I need to get adb logcat working on this box...
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] br0adband:
That's... errr... awesome. I mean it's awesome the screenshot capability is still in there, but the "errr..." is because they (the ROM developer(s) or whoever) decided to alter what is considered to be the standard method, which is somewhat odd to me but hey, it works.

Thanks for that info, it's appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Cederic:
Actually power and volume down is the standard in Android - it's Samsung that chose to be different and involve the home button instead.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] br0adband:
DOH!!! I completely forgot that because I've been using Samsung stuff for some time now, geez. Got so used to it with that Home+Power method I just made an assumption... see how well that worked out, geez. :p

So that's resolved I suppose I'm pretty much "happy" now with this AOSP ROM running on the I537, haven't had any issues worth reporting (a force close of an app but that's about it).
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Devo7v:
Has anybody been able to get NFC payments through Google Wallet to work on this ROM? I have the at&t version of the phone using SafeStrap and I've been able to get it to work on the stock TW ROM, I just can't get it to work on this ROM for some reason.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] pyro254750:
I'm getting about 12mbps right now via wireless n. That being said I typically get about 20 on my phone regardless of ROM. Right now its low because I'm streaming raw .vob to my TV from my computer so the network is working hard. 20mbps is the max via wireless I've ever seen on any device so WiFi seems to be working correctly. Hardwired I get 50 so I'm thinking my router is just showing its age.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] br0adband:
After reinstalling the AOSP ROM a few times (didn't have to do it that way but I reinstall a lot without requiring it), for whatever reason things are working fine now on the same device, same wireless, etc. It's pulling in the 25-40Mbps range now which is expected I suppose, weird.

And now that the updated Safestrap has been released, the AOSP ROM does run at "full speed" because Safestrap recognizes/initializes all 4 cores of the GS4A I537 properly. It's really snappy and responsive now, and I thought it was before but oh boy, what a difference. :p
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Wow, was that some kinda trouble!! :eek:

Got my SGS4A International yesterday, root, cwm, flashed this ROM in a few hours. No wifi, Guh, Read and searched and read and searched (which I had been doing for a month prior to ordering this beaut.

I started with I9205XXUAMF7 which I guess was the problem with wifi. Flashing this I9295XXUAMF5_I9295DBTAMF1_DBT.zip got me working wifi, but I had to get around system.process.acore and messaging fc notices. Guh. Back to Odin, install cwm, wipe data and cache, got me there and I could sign into wifi, woot!

Flashed this and not I am installing apps and setting them up. I have been an a Galaxy Nexus for a year, and this was the toughest setup to get working yet. The fun has begun. :D
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Diablo2424:
Anyone else not able to save pictures from the camera to our External SD Card on this ROM? I know I could go into TotalCommander/ES File Explorer/whatever and move them, but I was hoping I could just save them directly on the external.

I would test out replacing the gallery.apk, like I've read in other posts, but since I can't do a backup anymore (Permission error? I posted this error in the SafeStrap post, let me know if anyone has any ideas how to fix it please!) I am afraid of replacing APK's and my ROM not booting.

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
I'm on the I-9295, wanted to have TiBu and other apps saved to external SD, but it seems Google changed permissions and it is mounted r/o at each boot. It has surfaced for some with 4.3, but this ROM seems to have it too, no wonder since it is a Google Edition. I found this "solution", but looking at the permissions.xml, line the gid access to media_rw is there. I'm stumped.

Hi, first of all, i really like this rom... looks very good and fast...

here are some of my findings...

wifi NO PROBLEM (haven't test the speed thou, but able to connect)

camera working fine except the HDR mode and not sure how to store to extsdcard

issues so far:

MTP / PTP - couldn't browse my phone from PC, installed some usb drivers but still not working... any idea?

titanium backup - not able to restore (app only / app+data)... do any of you guys facing same problem?

thanks in advance, GREAT ROM and keep it up! :)

EDIT:

titanium backup seems working now, installed a new one :)

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Google does not like external SD cards, no current Nexus has one. It is mounted R/O for me and gets wiped at boot. I have changed to a customized stock Samsung ROM and it handles external SD just fine. I am convinced that it is a Google thing, they can not or will not support external SD cards with a Google ROM.

I am having MTP issues as well. It appears that /dev/mtp_usb is missing.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] hackstermind:
What is dev/mtp? Plz explain
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] michaelmotes:
/dev/mtp_usb is a kernel driver. I can see in logcat that MtpServer throws an error when trying to open "/dev/mtp_usb", because that file does not exist. In linux, some files, like those under /dev/ folder represents end points for drivers, in this case the mtp driver, which on this phone seems to be missing or isn't being loaded properly.

I have also noticed that speakerphone doesn't work.

So, with the camera patch this OS is usable, but nice things such as the speakerphone and MTP don't work. With ADB still working, I can at least transfer large files via USB.

My phone died while acting as a wifi hotspot and when I charged it and rebooted the Wifi driver would not initiate and the wifi would not turn on no matter how many times I restarted. I tried wiping, reflashing correct modem, etc., until I was about ready to give up and took the battery out for 30 secs and then put it back in and that worked. Usually I would have done this much sooner, but I was reluctant with this phone because I don't like taking the back cover off as to not wear out the gasket, yet detaching the battery fixed my Wifi issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Darkman:
What do you want to know??

The the S4 have only the Homebutton as Hardware Keys.... if you want to port a ROM on the S4 Active you need to make some change in the gpio-keys.kl (can you found in system\usr\keylayout\)

there you must change this:

key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 172 HOME WAKE
key 528 FOCUS WAKE
key 766 CAMERA WAKE
key 139 MENU
