Issues with compass

Hey everyone. I just did a clean flash of the stable version 5.0 and my compass seems to have stopped working. It is always pointing north. Is this a known issue and is there a fix for it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
It's a known issue with some apps.

Try an other compass.

Sabermod update

For those who want an update on my SlimSaberMod build progress.

See this post.

I have asked a few good friends to help me test this SlimSaberKat build, if no issues are found I will release it and start and a new thread soon.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
any chance this will make it to sabermod 4.10?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
4.8.3 is considered stable, I want to make sure that the current build is running fine so I have a stable base before experimenting any further.

No one succeeded in building a working ROM with Linaro 4.9 and I'm not sure how close the latest Linaro and SaberMod are related.

There is quite a difference between Sabermod (same goes for Linaro) 4.7 and 4.8.x, I needed to make a few changes to the source code to make it all work, moving to 4.10 I expect to be much easier (I hope)

Google Play Services

Hi, a question about the Play Services. How and when does this get updated? You can't seem to find them on the market, however, when an app needs the new version it redirects you to the market to update it?

I just read on XDA that by now everybody should have received the 4.4 version, but i'm still on 4.3?

Not that I desperately NEED it, but I was just curious on how this works.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
Just clear data of Google play and google services framework in apps manager and then run some google app (i use youtube) - then reboot,

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

I am going to w8 to test the 4.10 version so my kernel and rom have the same compiler version :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
I can easily build the kernel with 4.8.3 ;), That I'm sure will work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Metalazzo:
I have a strange problem since going from 4.3.1 to 4.4.2 : music playing has become a nightmare...

MP3 can run fine, or not, i don't know why.

some flac cannot be played at all (they play just fine on my pc so it's not corruption)

with google music, as soon as the screen goes blac, sound starts craking etc.

the only solution is to use a video player... talk about logic :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
The "Extra volume in call" option that used to reside in the Settings - Advanced options - Device - Sound menu is no longer there. :eek:

And the in-call volume is quite low... :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] qaler2010:
Sorry but is your rom a custom build from SlimKat rom? Will you start a new thread with changelog and download link of your rom?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
Won't we see a new battery icon option? I can't find it (into Settings) or... it did not call my attention...

Does any of the XPosed modules work with 4.4.2 ROMs like Slim? I could never managed to...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
@ Formhault, and what is new there? Icon with percentage? Hmmm... A bit disappointing compared to the huge battery style of early Android 4.2...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
I think new are Icon with percentage (JB style) and maybe Icon with percentage

and also some coloration of the icon/percentage during charging
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
New is what you see selected : the old battery style from SlimBean, which I absolutely love and sure did miss.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] coyttl:
I just noticed something, and hadn't seen it mentioned..

In Settings -> SlimCenter, under SlimOTA, I get a "null" for Device and Codename, with a red message, 'Cannot read SlimOTA properties.'. It's a clean flash, wondering if I forgot to confgure something? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] crying:
Hi, some one knows if slimkat support ANT+ ? Thx for your help
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 65vdub:
I didn't have that problem until the 4.4 weekly unified build and every weekly after that. All clean flashes too until the 5.0 stable. Not sure why it does that either.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] erghetto:
on this rom i can't change wallpaper lockscreen, right?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] leijonasisu:
Hi there. For some reason I can no longer turn on the GPS at all... no matter what I do when I go into Settings > Location, I cannot toggle the switch. Pressing it does nothing and trying to turn it on from the Tile menu does nothing either. It just happened randomly last night, it was working fine beforehand and now it's stopped working. I barely have any apps installed on the phone but I do need my GPS on occasion.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] _Sofos_:
If you're using xPosed you can try this. Worked for me.

[MENTION=4280921]leijonasisu[/MENTION] for starters I would simply reboot/wipe cache, davlik cache. If that doesn't work you can simply flash Rom again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] leijonasisu:
Hi, thanks for the reply.

Would you recommend flashing the weekly or stable?

The stable doesn't seem to be too far behind the weekly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] _Sofos_:
Actually I would suggest the weekly, not gonna make a difference anyway, both are rock solid stable.

Try and disable all xposed modules as well just to get sure it's not something with those.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
Interesting. Thank you!

But... still... Yet another feature from SlimBean that will be missed... :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
I don't miss it, that xposed module offers much more than the ROM ever did.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
I've noticed recently that my in call volume seems to be quieter. As formhault said I remember having an option in advanced settings to increase in call volume, I also remember that disappeared some builds ago but I also also remember that not being a big deal at the time because the volume was good, but now it's not - is anyone else noticing this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
Point is a lot of features were not ported over... :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
HELP !

PLEASE HELP !

Oh God...

So, I connected my phone to the PC, to transfer some files. Then, what do you know... the phone looked like it disconnected from Windows. I connect it again... the external SD card is empty!

I turn off the phone, take out the SD card, put it in a SD card reader and hook it up to my computer. Thank God, I am now rescuing files from it with Piriform Recuva.

Now, I boot my phone back up. Guess what! The internal SD card is EMPTY AS WELL!

How can I try and restore files on it, in the event that they are still there?!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] _Sofos_:
Argh, tough stuff. Hope you get everything back.

Maybe try and mount internal storage through recovery (so your pc can recognise it as an external drive blah blah)?

Do not use your phone until you get your stuff back.

Btw your whole phone got wiped for some reason, both external and internal at the same time. Either due to a ***ked up app (happened to me..) or it has to do with your pc :-\
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] leijonasisu:
So I fixed the weird issue with the GPS just not working anymore suddenly on the Weekly, by flashing the Stable over. Clearing Dalvik & Regular Cache didn't work. Neither did disabling Xposed.

Anyway so now I am running the stable and it all seems as smooth as butter except, where did the Notification/Status Bar Tile for

Mobile Data Mode

go? I can't seem to find it there anywhere. I really use that Tile a lot lol to change between data modes when I am on trains and etc. It was in the Weekly, is it just not there in the Stable o.O?

P.S. For reference can anyone please for the love of god tell me the default DPI for my Galaxy S4? I have googled around all day tirelessly and all DPI related questions fail to list the DEFAULT DPI of the phone. I know SlimKat starts off at 370, but that's a terrible choice (changed it immediately to 320) and whilst it's almost perfect, yet some apps (namely Viber) display ridiculously. I'm going to have to use a per-app DPI changer. What's the default DPI though?

Cheers, and thanks for the butter smooth rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
I can't mount USB storage in PhilZ Touch. Probably because it only works with an external SD card, and the SD card is currently in a reader... so outside the phone... :confused: :eek: :crying:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FlanjeUK:
480 is default :D 320 is my ideal too ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] _Sofos_:
Ahmm, never tried this before but you can give it a shot..

Edit: Actually this tool seems pretty neat, i just downloaded just in case :P you've got a pm, let us know how it went. I know the feeling btw but hey.. Android ftw!..

Edit2: [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION] in my pm the other day about your build/notifications stuff i meant sabermod toolchain.. not linaro..

lockscreen notifications

Hi, for those still asking for lockscreen notifications

the kernel guru Francisco Franco just created the standalone application which brings the PA Peek function to all 4.4 devices.

article: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...-to-all-4-4-devices-with-standalone-peek-app/

playstore link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...utm_source=42matters.com&utm_medium=WidgetWeb

enjoy :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
If empathizing is helping I can do that........ This exact same thing happened to me once last year when 4.4 was still very young. I think I was using either carbon or omnirom back then. And yeah, it sucked for me then as well :(

Wish you luck in retrieving your data, I never did, I decided to cut my losses, retrieve what I could from hard backups on my PC and start again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
well I hope I will never have to face this issue again as I lost lot of data and ... pictures!!! btw I am not doing any backups, so once this hits me again I will have to facepalm myself ...

On the "navigation > hardware buttons" menu I found Backlight option - that means I don't need "GS4 Button Lights" anymore .. How did I miss that :confused:

But for those who have got a problem with InCall UI:

After end of a call my screen stayed blank. I try calibrate proximity sensor by method posted on this thread but no luck. I tried flash stock rom and afted that flash slim with no luck either. And finaly I found that post : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43806906&postcount=15. It is too long a little but It works.

In short - must set a offset value in /efs/prox_cal file

(in terminal i.e.):

1.Find , and if exists - delete , file /efs/prox_cal

2.

cd /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/

3. Cover the proximity sensor to get a min value and launch a code:

cat state

In my case it was 154 ( 9A in HEX) so the proper offset value is x9a

4.

echo -en $'\x9a' > /efs/prox_cal

5. Set owner of this file to system and permissions

$ chown system:system /efs/prox_cal
$ chmod 644 /efs/prox_cal

6. Reboot and enjoy

It must be done by terminal - making /efs/prox_cal file by text editor not works.

Maybe it will help somebody :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
No you don't need GS4 button lights anymore. You can now change the timing or disable the button lights in the ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Morff_pl:
I know that NOW , i'm just wondering which version of slimkat is this option available from
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] _Sofos_:
I decided to keep latest weekly's stock kernel cause it rolls fine and gives me good battery life.

I am experiencing random freezes tho, screen freezes for about 4,5 secs and only sound seems to be working.

Same thing happened with KT but not that often.. any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the suggestion, seems nice!

I was talking about Pac notifications mod, mostly cause it didn't seem to affect battery back in the days I was using it. Will definitely give this a go tho.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
5.2
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
Oh the dreaded freezes! I've been battling with the same for ages (on Alucard) so if we are seeing then on stock, Alucard and KT this must be something going on in the ROM (which Alucard has been suggesting for some time)

Interestingly though it only send to happen to some, users??
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
Interesting to hear it also happens with stock and KT kernel.

That gives the impressions it's a ROM thing. It's seems very random, I have had times it happened quite frequently like once every 1~2 hours. ATM the moment it didn't happen at all for me during the last few days.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
yep .. only to some. .. I am happy and I don't feel any freezes on any kernel with this ROM ...

It is possible it is caused by some certain application as I always open both ROM and Gapps packages and remove bunch of apps. I can post which I am deleting from the flash packages when new weekly will be out (I will have to redownload otherwise) (and yes, I am not using any scripts to delete for me - I like to have a light install package)

maybe I can ask my friend he is running the full packages ...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
Yes, please do share, maybe that is the solution :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] _Sofos_:
I'll try to narrow it down as well but the thing is freezes are so random I can't catch them in log.

As kantjer said it might happen twice in an hour and then none for the rest of the day. The thing is.. it will happen when you'll need your phone to be fast. Which is getting on my nerves simply watching the screen waiting..

It can't be due to a data/app cause it has happened several times to me with a pretty much cleaned system BUT with xPosed modules on.

Plus I've never formatted my internal/external storage since I bought the phone.. I do clean a bit every now an then but you get what I mean.

Will check without xposed probably for a day and see how it goes.

Thank you for the answers.

camera force closes

Hi all,

short introduction: I'm new to this device/forum but tinkered with Android for some 4 years now on an old M Defy. Hello.

First thing on my new S4 was of course rooting and installing CM11 / SlimKat. Unfortunately I have camera fc problems on both systems.

Slim Stock as well as standalone Google Camera force close almost always. (/Edit: Working solution here)

Only Camera360 works all the time.

I attached a huge log flooded with tons of camera errors like these:

E/mm-camera-intf( 1891): mm_stream_data_notify: Warning!! Wrong state (5) to receive data notify!
E/QualcommCamera( 4745): Qvoid android::disable_msg_type(camera_device*, int32_t): E
E/QCameraHWI_Preview( 4745): getBufferFromSurface: dequeue buf: 0xb72ad754
E/MP-Decision( 1580): UP cpu:1 core_idx:1 Nw:1.900000 Tw:140 total_time_up:0.000000
E/OMX-VDEC-1080P( 1891): Error in ioctl read next msg

Strange enough, after using Camera360 the other camera apps work as well for some time!

/Edit:

I'm on Slim-4.4.2.build.5.2-WEEKLY-4265 but tried stable and CM11 as well!

Model: i9505 german.

So we can probably rule that out for the time being.

I delete a lot of system apps as well but I do it after boot using no bloat. I would like to see what happens removing then your way though, and your list. Unfortunately I don't know how to share file structure so wait for you on Monday :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
All of my apps were there. Just the storage was wiped. And I do refresh my apps backup with TiBu every once in a while, so that's not an issue.

Got what I needed back. As in some pictures and the file names of some YouTube shows I downloaded and MOVED over to the SD card earlier this week. I definetly don't wanna miss them! :silly:

Indeed!!! My SD cards were so full of trash, due to apps that left over their bits... Guess after 8 months of usage, a wipe was due, hehe.

I've been having these freezes too with all three of kernels during my SlimRom saga on the S4.

I'm now on your alucard unofficial.

I did notice though that it happens often when using the keyboard (Swiftkey)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] _Sofos_:
Hmm, if you have a pc please try and move your DCIM folders (both internal/external) there so your phone will have no DCIM folder at all (basically I'm targeting for the camera folder inside DCIM but just to be sure move them all).

Reboot your device and try to start those camera apps again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
So my friend with full install packages just confirmed he has freezes too ... So it seems to be app related
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
Than it is very interesting to hear from you what you deleted.

I have also a number of apps removed from both ROM and gapps but perhaps you removed a few others.

EDIT: Slim and gapps stock apps list attached, I hope you have time to go through it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
You could also run terminal command to get list of all your /system folders and sub-folders content and compare.

ls -R /system > /sdcard/output.txt
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
But that won't give you the full stock apps list if you already removed stuff.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pitastrudl:
a while ago i tested if the freezes were done by xposed, so i used my phone wihout xposed for two days, and freezes still happened, so we can rule out xposed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
I thought someone had talked about comparing each other's removed apps at some point.

Nice command anyway :) , may be useful for the rest of your investigations or anything/anyone.

Damn .. and I was struggling with the Backlights part of my tasker app asking me why i had to make it work kinda differently than before lol
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:

I have some slight freezes too, especially with home button. These freezes don't bother me, but they're seen if comparing with SlimBean, which I used for a half of year.

What is more:

Battery color (option "Only text") doesn't turn to the selected until >90% (reproduced 2 times)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] __NBH__:
For you guys that have formatted data, cache and system to F2FS and use Alucard kernel, if I download and flash the update to the ROM will it keep the F2FS format or do I need to flash KT kernel, convert the ROM for F2FS, flash it then flash Alucard kernel back?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
If you flash an unconverted ROM you will lose f2fs and have to start over.

I still do it the old way (because it works) and that is this: I flashed KT one time then converted ktweaker to user app and saved it. I then flashed back to Alucard, and disabled ktweaker. Then every time I want to flash a new ROM I enable ktweaker (and click no for all the restore options it offers) then go to tools and convert my new ROM to f2fs. Then flash ROM and voila, all partitions on chefs :D

I've been doing this since the start of f2fs.

KT also has a newer recovery which has option to format ROM to f2fs in it, I can't comment here because I haven't tried it yet, it should be the same though in theory.
