Cm11 has the same bug. Always had it since build 1. Guess it's an Android Kitkat bug. To be honest, Kitkat is full of bugs..... If you install a rom freshly and go to the people/contacts app there'll be shown people you contacted recently BUT the funny thing is there are people in the list you never contacted recently.. And performance issues and other stuff.

Driver problem?

Hi! After I flashed this ROM it seems like my computer does not recognize my phone... I've installed Kies and Samsung drivers, but it still won't recognize it... What am I doing wrong? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Using Kies ;) Google Play Edition isn't compatible with kies.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wilbarger:
Have you tried a different USB port?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Vyper512:
Yes I have, I've tried other cables as well! It does charge, but it does not recognize it :-/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wilbarger:
Not too sure how much you have flashed in the past, but make sure you have Developer set to allow USB Debugging and Security to allow Unknown Sources. Sorry if this is too basic, but I don't know what your level is.

EDIT: One thing I have found that screws me up is if I have a pattern or password lock on the lock screen, I have to unlock before the computer will recognize the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] giarob78:
+1 enable Debug USB in developer options ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bruc3lee:
Kies won't detect your phone with this rom on, only touch wiz rom.

Also having to put your code or pattern in before computer will detect it is normal behaviour.

Otherwise someone could take your phone and plug it in and have access to all your files without needing password.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Vyper512:
I've been flashing ROM's for about 4 years, so I know the in's and out's. It might just be my computer :-/ I will test it on another computer tomorrow. Thanks anyways ;)

I have disabled that keyguard, and I always unlock my phone before plugging it in. It still won't recognize it :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bruc3lee:
Your computer not picking the phone up in my computer? Or in Kies?

Does pc make sound when phone plugs in?

Tried reinstalling drivers?

Phone show charging?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Vyper512:
It is not showing up on "My Computer". I've looked in the device manager, nothing there... My Nexus 7 gets recognized, but not the S4...

My PC does not make the "connected" sound.

; Yes, I've tried to reinstall all the drivers.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bruc3lee:
If you have tried different ports and cables next bet is different pc.

Or is the phone detected when in recovery or download mode?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Vyper512:

no problem, it's just I take development pretty seriously, I spent a great deal of time getting the cleanest stock base available to flash the 4.4.2 and then do a clean system pull to make a ROM for you guys with, I want to make sure my time pays off by supplying a ROM that works like it should.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
Theres a few things but we are hiding the method from Samsung, if you aren't careful here you will break the ROM, also it can't be done properly from a pre-installed ROM, needs to be done by the dev

iamnotkurtcobain was the guy with the reboots that confirmed the method works, big credit to this dude

he was gettings reboots every 3 minutes or so with any kernel on any build and just went 2 hours without a single reboot with this method, I will say it was definitely a ROM problem and I will release to any developer that contacts me, assuming you're post is legit and meets all XDA rules ;) including credits (this is a i9505) fix only

enjoy the clean ROM, It's a very smooth 4.4.2 system pull with all the tools to give you a fully featured "custom" aosp ROM

GOOOOOD NEEEWS!!! I am gonna flash this rom right now, Random Reboots were completely annoying for me.

Just a few questions...

a) Is it possible not to install Xposed and Gravity from app drawer? I think I dont need all that custom options.

b) Is Qualcomm Dalvik and Bionic included in this rom??

Thank you Danvdh and than you Iamnotkurtcobain, this mate has been reading and posting A LOT during latest days, caring about random reboots and trying to make sense, and ...you got it !!!!

Had the same issue, is the NFC apk you should leave, in settings there is a nfc setting that is on by default and removing the apk makes settings crash
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
should not debloat anything to be honest, I've got rid of everything that needed to be removed, everything I include in the ROM should really stay or I can guarantee stability
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] monkteo:
OK thanks Dan now I know and I am relaxed.

Anyway this is the great AOSP rom !
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
You are right and I learned that with every update of the rom. Funny thing is that I used to have a bunch of apps to boost performance/battery life and little by little I dropped them all since each update adds all those things. I just need this rom, root explorer and Titanium :good:

BTW, new kt kernel released
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:

I have a quick question. If I were to change my DPI to let's say 450, will it have issues with Play Store? I remember that Play Store will render a lot of apps incompatible, or that has changed already?

I'm on ART btw, so xposed is not an option.

Once again a huge tank you for your work on this amazing ROM. Being a GE you're right about your path.

For me and anyone who don't use Google anymore debloating is a must. I removed A LOT of files (namely almost all from Google) without stability problems at all. I'm running your ROM for about two months now.

Seems logic I should have go with CyanogenMod, already cleaned from Google stuff, but after trying both for some time a can tell you your ROM it's much better than CM after doing my cleaning.

I'm not suggesting you should change anything here, quite the opposite, I'm just reporting my experience with your amazing base work.

Please keep this good work.

Thank you so much for giving this smooth and light rom. These are some of the issues I'm facing :

1.I have a FC every time I put on the bluetooth and pair it with a parrot car kit and an audi built in kit. The phone restarts at least twice. I didn't have this problem on Samsung official rom.

2.The whole display blinks randomly as if there is a loose wire somewhere inside. Again this is happening only after installing this rom.

3.when I try to pull the menu bar down with 2 fingers sometimes it slips and goes up.

Out of the above the bluetooth problem is most problem and a search of the has no specific answers. Please help

Hello,

First and foremost, great work on the ROM. It's speedy and responsive and it's great on battery life!

One issue I am having is that the LED notification light doesn't seem to work. It doesn't appear for any notification. I haven't got it turned off in any application.

Excuse the pun, but could someone shed some light on my situation ;)

Many thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
The LED is working alright for me. :confused:

You should look into apps that take control of how the LED behaves. Apps like LightFlow and such... that should fix your problem, I hope.

hi, i've been using this rom for a few days and i it is amazing, i don't fully customise the rom because i'm trying some xpoosed modules and see how the rom react and so far very good.

I've been following the thread for a while and see some apps that some users recommended and install snap camera. I read that we can uninstall and delete files like the built in camera and gallery from the rom with a root explorer like es file explorer. My question is how can i know witch files can or can't be deleted ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wilbarger:
I would use Titanium Backup to freeze any app to see what effect it has on the phone. If it has no effect, you could then remove the app if you need/want to.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
I'm having a hard time figuring out what "that" is exactly.

I usually game in landscape, with a light source to my left, with auto brightness on. Guess what? On this ROM, the screen goes a bit darker than on SlimKat (for example) during that... so I'd say the auto brightness feature is a bit aggressive, but I can't complain.

Still, can't see what those aforementioned jumps are about...

yes, auto brightness is a bit more aggressive but its already implied in the thread title. how else do you want to improve it?

Update in the OP

03/24/2014

*DarkUI and Battery icon optional zips got a update this build, if you use these features please use the latest optional zip*

-Framework-res auto brightness values adjusted, I made the screen a bit brighter without losing much battery power, in fact you won't even notice. I just wanted to bump it up 5 values so we can show off how gorgeous this 1080p AMOLED really is

-Redid contacts, I spent a great deal of time on this and I really think its a much better design then the last invert, Kryten and I talked about it but never did anything about it, I poured in a few hours the other night and came up with something I think looks gorgeous, most of the credit to him still though as I only had to make a few changes ;)

-SystemUI will now display H+ in the status bar and quicksettings as opposed to just H

-Removed 2 useless build.prop tweaks that remained dormant and do nothing at all on 4.4.2, (they worked on 4.3)

-Updated Gravitybox to 3.0

-Updated kernel

-now for the bad news, I'm having family issues and need to move back home to support my parents, My mom and dad have hit hard times and I can't see them suffer, My activity on these forums will dwindle a bit since I will need to pound the pavement and make as much money as possible to support my folks so I kindly ask that the community helps each other out with any questions and concerns that may arise in the thread

To explain the whole autobrightness

Samsung included code for their terrible "Dynamic auto brightness" in GPE, this meant out of a possible 255 values for brightness the minimum the screen was EVER allowed to go in dim light was 40 which is terrible, I disabled this and enabled stock AOSP auto brightness and plugged in the same values as CM and quickly notice a flaw in CM's auto brightness on a Samsung AMOLED, they were using way to much power in higher indoor light (ie: a bedroom with the main light on) so i've simple adjusted that value to 60 (down from 90) and kept the minimum auto brightness to 20 which is exactly like every other AOSP ROM out there for the S4, Outdoor light was never touched because we need to be able to see our phone in direct sunlight (except for our UK users, they have to carry around their phones under an umbrella)

with this change I can pretty much guarantee my framework-res saves more juice then ANY other GPE framework (especially the stock one that Samsung/Google ripped off their paying customers with :P )

test for yourself ;)

I really hope you enjoy my ROM, It's a been a project of mine for the last few months and development has really slowed because things are rock stable

oh oh and just because I know its going to be asked

Yes you can probably dirty flash (wipe caches and flash the ROM) but if you see any bugs or sluggish performance please full wipe and don't post day 1 questions in this thread ;)
