good stuff! will give it a go.

Currently on the latest carbon nightly...

[MENTION=3813358]jamus28[/MENTION] - I know you're involved in dev for Carbon rom too... Which would you recomend?

I like that Carbon has active notifications built in, but i dont mind using the dynamicnotifications app (Which works quite well). this is the only BIG day to day difference for me.

Or... can i request that CM starts building active notifications in?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] dwane3:
Notifications..) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.activenotifications

I've had this app since launch... the premium app is well worth it imho :)

jamus28,you unofficial build 9190 from 16.12 has some bugs,may be rebuild with last CM drivers from git?Big thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] jamus28:
You really need to be more specific. Ive not experienced any problems. And cm10.2 has no major fixes committed since yesterday...

Are you looking for the rom to make you breakfast? Because Arco Is ggoing to implement that feature next week :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] dwane3:
I am have a problem with back button for exit from applications..
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] jamus28:
Hah ok. That's most likely due to the application itself or your screen is dirty. Press the home button to exit.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] volksieboi:
so far so good... great battery life, super stable, and best of all, wifi is rock solid and more when compared to 10.1.3 stable

Just one thing i noticed, even after disabling the home button on the lockscreen, it still wakes the phone...

any advice?/ anyone else experiencing this??
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] jamus28:
To answer your first question, ive switched to cm because it feels tad more stable and polished than carbon, maybe because carbon hasn't updated their jb3 repos in some time. Not to say carbon wasn't good. It was great and had tons of extra options which I never used. I have a 12/1 build on my devhost.

As for home wake, you can try going under system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl

Key 102 or 172 is the home button. Try removing WAKE from those lines, save (make sure system rw), and reboot

Is there anyone else having issues with video playback? I'm on 10.2 stable. I can play the videos (be it in youtube or moboplayer) but after a second they pause, then start again for like a second, then pause... and repeats this continually in effect making the video unwatchable. I really don't know what can be causing this, I searched the issues tracker and didn't see a hint of it. Also took a look at the known issues but found nothing. Can anyone tell me what can be the cause and how to fix it?

This is the first time I'm using cyanogenmod for real and I'm loving it! I would HATE to have to move out because of this issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] jamus28:
Arco posted above. It's basically the same.

As for video, no problems with YouTube here.

New stable release of CM10.2.1 :) official

cm-10.2.1-serrano3gxx.zip

Enjoy !
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] rpgdev:
This post's subject should be updated since 10.2 stable has been out for a while and "nightlies" are all 11. Also, 10.2.1 is out!

UPDATE: darktitor beat me to it. Sorry!

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

I saw that it happened after using my BT headphones to listen to music, just connecting the BT headset and listening to music for a couple of seconds did it. I found that this bug is present in all CM serrano3gxx based roms (I didn't install any of my apps, just flashed the rom, paired the BT and reproduced the bug, so none of my apps is the culprit). It is not present on 10.1.3 though so I went back, I'm downloading 10.2.1 now to see if it's still there.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] volksieboi:
Great stuff... any feedback on this?

Thanks again to the devs

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] methoddon1:
so, wich one is to flash guys? 10.2, 10.2.1 or 11? dled all of them. making a backup and going... where is performance, smoothness, and a battery definitely, because stock rom battery sucks, no matter what u do with device. any advice plz.

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

I've read that the network chip on stock causes the battery drain in idle. what's changed? Give me some good news plz.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Rezildans:
Infact, Samsung ROM performs very well in battery usage. Unless you do shut all the bloat-y widgets off (S-Travel, Flipboard etc.). CM is at it's best on 10.2.1 with the addition of Greenify app. Especially you should hibernate battery enemy Facebook app or use it through Google Chrome or Firefox etc.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] methoddon1:
stock. bloatware is gone. Titanium, greenify, Removed everything with root explorer, Startup Manager, did what I could. it Is fast, no doubt, but battery is horrible, looking for a way out. want to stay on touch wiz, gonna give it few days, it is brand new, will try to break in the battery first, if not, - cm, here I come. idle drain is what worries me and it is even after everything I've done.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Rezildans:
Then give 10.2.1 a shot. CM11 has still it's bugs and that's normal as it's still in nightly stage. CM10.2.1 (Andorid 4.3.1) has 2 important features that 4.2.2 Samsung ROM hasn't; OpenGL ES 3.0 and TRIM support, like CM11 (4.4.2) has.

For example, in Samsung ROM, Subway Surfers lags too much that you make mistakes and lose the game. On CM10.2.1 or CM11, it doesn't. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] methoddon1:
ok, thanx... I'll give it a go. how is battery anyway? can you get maybe 15 hours with 4 hours screen on time? (don't mean to be annoying).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Rezildans:
I can't tell exactly but it saves the day for me, that's for sure. It depends. That's all I can say.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] methoddon1:
ok. thanx a lot for your patience and time.

---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

How do you disable fast dormancy on this little beast?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] rpgdev:
I have used stock for the longest time and I perceive the battery life just about the same on cm, which is great as long as it's not worse :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] jamus28:
Try 6+ hours screen on with 3g or WiFi. Ive barely gone under 25% after a full days use. I've been real happy.

I don't use greenify. Just dont have apps like facebook. Cm10.2.1 Stock kernel ondemand.

The display next event on the lock screen doesn't seem to work. The option is placed under Settings->lock screen->clock widget

I use a local calendar storage, not integrated with Google. Using 10.2.1 serrano3gxx. Can anyone else confirm this?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] jamus28:
You have to swipe down to see the calendar widget
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Nemo1984:
I'm having trouble with the Apollo app. I try to skip the songs with the volume buttons, and it just stop playing until I open the screen. Then, it skips. I tried various cpu governors and i/o clocks, nothing seems to help.

Suggestion, please?

PS: My best guess is the NTFS file system is the problem. Compatible and optimized for it is different.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Nemo1984:
No luck so far
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] jamus28:
Works fine for me with music and playlist on my vFAT SD card. You may want to try another player. "vanilla music" is a good one. If that fails, reformat to vfat.

It works really great! Thanks again!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] rpgdev:
Does the "lock screen" button on the notification drawer works for anyone here? I'm on serrano3gxx 10.2.1 stable and pressing this button gives me nothing. Sorry if this is the wrong thread to post this.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Nemo1984:
Yes it does. Pressing it once will disable the password you have set. Pressing it again will re-enable it, Blue= on grey=off.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] rpgdev:
I'm sorry, I forgot to post it here but I later figured out that the lock screen button disables or enables the "lock screen", it doesn't lock the screen.

Anyways, the "go to sleep" button doesn't seem to do a simple "lock screen" (as the power button does) but instead sends the device to deep sleep. It infuriated me a lot before I figured that out since I wasn't getting any notifications at all during that time, thinking something was wrong with my device. Isn't there a way to have a simple button in the notification drawer to lock the screen the same way the power button does?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Nemo1984:
I haven't found a way. Maybe a mod or Xposed module?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] rpgdev:
I'm really surprised that there isn't a basic button to lock the screen here but what are you gonna do?

Thanks for the answer.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Nemo1984:
To lock the screen, you can click once on the power button. It shuts down the screen and locks it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] rpgdev:
I meant in the notification drawer. Of course I'm aware of that.

I see that this was posted today: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/65492/cm-10.2.1.3-serrano3gxx.zip can somebody tell us what has been added please?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] jamus28:
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:merged+branch:cm-10.2,n,z

Very few relevant changes since the last stable.

I'm not sure if its more than that. This may just be a reupload. Why are there 3 versions in the last 2 days? Cm10.2.1.1 .2 and .3

Edit: going through github, it looks like ARCO merged a lot more into the cm10.2 code than just what's listed on cm gerrit. I may build and give this one a shot. Google really went backwards with KitKat. I'm not enjoying 4.4
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
First two builds was missing the vendor updates regarding camera, so that's why we had to do a third build. There's a few small fixes/changes in this release, but the most important one is that emergency dialing is fixed and working.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] jamus28:
Thanks again arco.

The last bug I encountered in cm10.2 was that outgoing calls would sometimes stop connecting and/or cause a reboot. Were there any updates to ril, telephony, etc that might have addressed this?

Don't worry if not, its no biggie.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
There was a couple ril commits including the EMS fix. No idea if it fixes that particular issue, as I've never experienced it myself.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] jamus28:
So after running this for almost 2 weeks, I have not experienced a single frozen phone call or reboot on disconnect. I think those few commits did it. It may have been related to handling of a busy signal. Before, calling a busy line would guarantee crashing my phone. Now I get a real busy message.

it may pop up again, but this ROM is as near perfect as cm can go.

So, what's the know-how, in your opinion, to be part of the 4x HD developing team, and the knowledge needed to cook a successful rom ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Omario-242:
There are so many tutorials over in the Android development forums right here in XDA. I think nobody can say like "learn this, this and that and then you're perfectly ready for developing". It needs practice and patience and some basic knowledge of coding.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] nmbbf:
Yes , I imagined so, but anything else there's needed ? Apart from that ! Like tips
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Ottonet:
Be curious.

Never believe you have nothing more to learn.

Be humble, learn from others.

Never give anything for granted,

Read. Read a lot. Read thousand times more than you write.

Expect to face a lot of problems

Do not expect others to solve your problems.

Use your brain.

Do not believe in "magic formulas". What one does as a developer is the result out of his/her efforts and committment, at least, if he/she is a honest one.

Prepare yourself to be willing to give up.

Never give up.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SdRasta:
So I tried installing this last week had trouble and got me on the screen that says something like 'this is non Verizon please take to nearest Verizon store' SOMETHING LIKE THAT, sure you'll know what I'm talking about. And I want to try over but I'm not to sure why that happened. I'm THINKING it was because phone wasn't unlocked. But I'm not to sure if it was locked of unlocked. Is there several reasons that message can come up or is there one main cause, that cause being phone wasn't unlocked??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Only reason why you saw this prompt is because the bootloader is still locked. Odin flash a stock image then use Casual to root and unlock or use Invisiblek's guide on Rootzwiki to root and unlock via Odin. What root utility did you use to root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SdRasta:
Well I got it unlocked and rooted, so when I do the wipe and factory reset then flash rom it should all be fine right? The factory reset and wipe won't lock the bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Juice3250:
Correct. It won't lock the bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SdRasta:
Thanks I got it flashed perfectly
[General Questions and Answers] alekseyR:
ok so i got the samsung note tab N8020.

and ive downloaded VLC, BS, Mobo, MX player and ive tried using the regular player.

Whenever i zoom into a video to cut out the black bars ( in all the players) it zooms keeping the left edge of the video on the left edge of the screen. Instead of centering it.

so i loose a big chunk of the right side of the video, instead of equal amounts on both sides

This is kinda retarded, why would anyone want this functionality, which leads me to think maybe its a bug.

Anyone have any suggestions how to fix this?

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent:
The international versions don't support LTE on ATT. You can check the bands if you want proof.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Class:
Hopefully there are some people out there who can modify the NV Params found in a QCN file. The hardware is the same just waiting on AT&T, Rogers, Bell and Wind people to dump their QCN files (its really easy!)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zachsx:
I honestly don't think they will have an international note 3 working on at&t lte, would be cool but the band's aren't there

Thanks for confirming that everyone :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Class:

Today or within the next few days, I will be replacing my (pathetic) YP-GI1 for the YP-G70. A charging issue messed up my device and the screen does not detect half of my touches. I have found great deals on Amazon of refurbished models running for 119 USD and was wondering if I should stick with the refurbished model or splurge for a new one. If any owners of this device have information and pros/cons, it would be greatly appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jeffsasse:
I've been installing custom ROM's on my Galaxy S for years, just got the SIII and have had trouble with it. Now I'm moving on to my son's Galaxy Player 5. It took a bit of working, but I finally got to play with a couple ROM's on it.

We got his from Walmart for $139, haven't been able to find a better price out there. I am curious as to why they haven't developed a replacement for this. It definitely has a market out there! I don't want my son having a phone yet, and a tablet is too big. Someone NEEDS to put a dent in Apples Ipod Touch market, but Samsung seems to have abandoned this en devour.

Anyway, I am looking for what y'all think is the best ROM opportunity for the 5.0. The CM10.2 is fine, but has just about as much bloatware as Samsung. Tried Team Remics, but less and less support for this one, and it is crashing the keyboard. How is PACMAN?

Not very many choices for a good quality ROM. Is it easy to make one? Where would I start?

Thanks!

Jeff
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] 64kb:
I'm glad you've asked this question, and although I only got mine earlier this week I can give you some of my personal opinions on custom ROMs. I recommend sticking to stock 4.2 or 4.3. This includes PAC, CM 10.2, SlimBean, to name a few. PAC and SlimBean are very customisable while CM 10.2 is lightweight. I currently use SlimBean because of its options for customisation but CM 10.2 and PAC are also very good ROMs.

PAC is very customisable. You can change almost everything in the ROM, but be prepared for some bloatware. If you have the knowledge of uninstalling or disabling system apps this should not be as much of a problem. If you like to customise your device, this is (in my opinion) the first choice.

Another awesome alternative to PAC is SlimBean. Like I stated earlier, I currently run this on my phone. It isn't as bloated as PAC and includes Slimsizer which lets you uninstall system apps. It's my personal favourite.

This is mainly because the Galaxy Player 5.0 is an old device and not many [developers] have it. If you wish to make your own, it will take a fair amount of experience to do. You can start by porting a ROM from a similar device (such as the Galaxy S) to this device to get a feel for basic ROM development. Once you feel ready, and you have hours of time and at least 100 GB of storage available, you can build a ROM from source. Building from source means you have control over what apps are included in the ROM, so you can make a lightweight, fast distribution.

For now, I recommend sticking to Jelly Bean, but that is just my preference.

Hope I helped with something!

Cheers, 64kb

Since my original battery defected, i had to look for an replacement and found on ebay, chinese manifacturer called Gold that makes significantly higher capacity batteries in the same size as the original ones.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=gold+battery+s4&_sop=12

they advertise them at 3300mah (the original one is 2600, so that's about 25% more in the same dimensions)

naturally i find it hard to believe, so if anyone has tested any of those please enlighten me :)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fking1:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikime:
These "gold" batteries are worse than a gold iPhone.

Jokes aside, don't ever buy these. Ever. No quality control and super fake mah labels. My backup second-hand Galaxy S came with a 2640mah gold battery. The size is same as the original... lasts even less.
