You did a factory reset before flashing slim rom?

All the problems which you describe are really curios, because i hadn't one of them. :o
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] fedef12evo:
i love animations, and i love more smooth animations :cyclops: and im so sad that this device is not really smooth like others
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Nexorce:
Have you tried following animation options?

ListView animation => alpha

ListView interpolator => Overshoot
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tylog:
It's right, on my N4 the animations are smooth as butter , on S4 the are stuttering a little bit but I can life with it :)

You can activate in developer settings HW Overlay and Gpu rendering and see if it helps ( but i think it doesn't ) all in all its a problem of Aosp on the S4.

GT-I9505 ~ SlimBean
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] SuperKrog:
yes, factory reset and manually formatted system...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] fedef12evo:
im talking about open app and close app animations, not listview
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Nexorce:
Sorry, it seems that i missed the topic :(

If the animations are not snappy enough for you..you can disable it...but you already now this :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
@ all

Lagginess / stuttering is to be encountered in all (or almost all) non-Nexus devices. That includes the S4, Note 2, HTC Sensation (even HTC One, I guess) etc. AOSP ROMs will work best only on Nexus devices because... well... Nexus devices have AOSP :silly:

Maybe it's not 60 fps smooth - like it should be - but 50 fps, I guess. But it's definetly smoother than a TouchWiz based ROM :) .
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] harise100:
Enabling GPU rendering in developer options helps. Especially in Scrolling lists.

My problem with latest version is, once I lost phone signal, it doesn't reconnect.

I have to switch Airplane mode on / off to get it back on.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tylog:
Good to hear that my archive with gpu rendering help :)

Phone or data signal? I have data drops from time to time but with all aosp roms , phone signal drops never. Do you have this only with the latest build?

GT-I9505 ~ SlimBean
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] harise100:
Phone and Data. As long as I got the signal it stays on.

But I was driving through a region with bad signal. On earlier versions it always reconnected.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tylog:
Hm, I hear about it the first time now. Have you testing change the modem?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] harise100:
I am on a business trip, so I can't change the modem the next few days.

Furthermore I dirty flashed... :eek:

If you never heard of it and nobody else has the problem, I guess it is me. Maybe I find a quiet hour to do a full wipe install.

Rest is working fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tylog:
Ok :) and better you wait and don't use mobile odin , it's a good app but not on the S4 , I have two times destroy my whole system with it.

Can someone explain the difference between windows animation scale, transition animation scale, and animation duration scale in developer options? Also I'm not very clear on what listview is either. Tried searching but to no avail. :o
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Skipjacks:
The list view is the animations for scrolling lists. Like menu lists, settings lists, etc. Change something in the listview animations setting and then go back out to the main menu setting list and just scroll up and down. You will see what I mean.

I never did know the difference between the window and transition....

Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:

I'm sticking with latest PhilZ builds for now.

I can't boot rom or even access recovery at all with TWRP 2.6.3.1, it hangs every time at samsung logo 'recovery booting.....', and i tried re-downloading and reflashing several times.

Non-PhilZ CWM recoveries are too dodgy on this device.

The very first thing I did was change DPI back to default 441 because it looks really weird otherwise, now everything looks 'normal' :)

I'll re-do steps 1-6 and see how it goes.

I can connect as ftp client, not a problem there, i was talking about using device as FTP Server. I have been using FTP Server by Rapfox for nearly 2 years flawlessly on over 20 roms on my i9100, and in recently with stock 4.2.2 and cm10.1+10.2 on my i9505, but for some reason it doesn't work via wifi on this rom, so I switched to FTP Server by The Olive Tree, which works perfect on this rom, and I think i like it better anyway. Its far more likely that android 4.3.1 broke Rapfox's one, and not this rom.

I haven't had any of the lags other people have reported, but I always have all animations off anyway. Only lag i've notices is waking the device is abnormally slow from screen-off sometimes, but I assume thats a gov/sched issue.

So far this slim beta5 is faster and far more stable and bug free than cyanogenmod 10.1.3 stable:cool:

The more I use this rom the more i fall in love :angel:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] tobiasth:
480dpi is default :p

Hello there, I use Latest clockwork mod 6.0.4.4 faux kernel 12m and sometimes after i reboot not always i stuck on samsung logo any idea why?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tylog:
Yes, it's a knowing problem, if you hang on boot boot again in recovery, then reboot and its good.

This sometimes happens after i press reboot in recovery or in i choose clear market data and then reboot from density changer.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ph3n0mII:
Seems I got bit confused in my hastiness.

The default 480 dpi looks weird on slim, everything is really small and out of proportion in comparison to stock rom and cyanogenmod, so i tried 441 dpi which made everything look normal, and only seems to have broken 1 app.

Any idea what settings need changing to have everything looking normal with 480 dpi? and what mode (xhdpi, xxhdpi,etc)? :cowboy:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Nexorce:
Are you sure that you use 480? I think you have 320 dpi in Use. Otherwise you should follow the instruction step by step. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FlanjeUK:
Before I upgraded I had my s2 set at 160 dpi (which is not far away from how 360 looks on my s4) so I have never messed with these settings on Slim, sorry I can't assist but hopefully someone will come along and provide you with more info soon :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tylog:

I'm currently using 441 dpi which looks 'normal'.

Whatever the default is for this rom, (which I cant remember but I'm told it's 480), it did look a bit odd compared to stock samsung rom and cyanogenmod 10.1.3 and 10.2.

I'm going to restore defauld dpi settings and do some more tests :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
The DPI that Samsung set for their ROMs (TouchWiz) is 480.

SlimBean defaults at 320, which is kind of low if you ask me. I suggest raising it to 380 or above. :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FlanjeUK:
SlimBean is set to 361 by default :P

at least mine was
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ph3n0mII:
Ok, everything looks even more 'normal', and speedtest.net app works again:victory:

In step 1, 480 -- xxhdpi was already selected so i pressed it's radio button again to be sure, and followed steps 2-5.

Step 6 was still set to custom so I selected 480 and manually rebooted, and now everything is fixed and proper!

Thanks for your help guys, much appreciated!:good:

Occasionally I like to get a bit of advice before I start experimenting.

(For some reason the thanks button disappeared this morning in the XDA 2013 beta layout but it shows in the 2010 layout:eek:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Nexorce:
Maybe you tried to change your dpi without adjusting the root-settings, because if you try that in this order, the dpi-option will stay at 480, but it is not accepted.

You have to enable root and then take your changes for dpi, because it needs root-rights,

Ok, well about half an hour after fixing my DPI issue and getting the Speedtest.net app working, they provided an updated version of it with custom DPI support lol.

So, they just emailed me asking if it works now using custom DPI (I reported the issue to them), but I dont want to change DPI again now :p

Can anybody here who is using a DPI higher or lower than 480 on this ROM please test the speedtest.net app to see if the yellow 'Begin Test' button works now, so I can confirm it with them?

Cheers in advance;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
I always wondered why the Speedtest app didn't work anymore. Thought it was because of the new look update... Now I know the culprit, lol.

I did the same and it worked, this is strange, i believe you used the latest Philz, right ?.

Since next release is expected till tomorrow try to use the official CWM and use flasher to install it as mentioned on instructions.

I will do so for the next release and replace Philz 5.11 so that i do not have issues due to that in the future.

The latest philz 5.11 should work what I read in the forum.

If you want absolutely sure take the latest cwm recovery or twrp 2.6.0.0 . I personally use twrp and never had a problem with it :)

Been mentioned many times before, do not use philz to flash 4.3 ROMs... Use CWM or if u must use philz make sure it is the latest version
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] __NBH__:
I tried the latest version of Philz (5.11.2) and it didn't work flashing this ROM. I had to use version 5.11.0 and it worked fine.

Been using the ROM for a couple of days now and it is very nice, I only found a few things below:

When you have headphones plugged in and you receive a call, the sound only outputs through the left ear.

Sometimes notifications keep appearing in the status bar. I use Velis auto brightness and sometimes the notification comes back, if I go to app info and tick receive notifications then untick it, it disappears again.

I have the dashclock lockscreen widget set to 100% transparency and the status bar set to 100% transparency but there is still a colour difference between the two.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] NightmareCC:
Yeah I skipped that part in the installation instructions.

But I used the latest version of philz touch and I also tried it with CWM. Both methods doesn´t work for me (sadly).

So I think that I have to wait for the next release and try it again!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] blk_jack:
