Have you noticed increased consumption of battery with 8.8?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Auzman:
It seems to consume a little more than stable 7.0 while using LTE connection....

BTW, is everything ok with your external SD card? I can't figure out why I can't see it! (See my previous posts...)

Writing to microSD on KitKat 4.4.4

I found an app. on Play Store that got things sorted for me straight away. I can now use my Samsung Class10 16GB MicroSD card for saving photos and video from the camera, as well as switch apps to SD and store Titanium backups without issue. Click the link below (with thanks to GeekSoft) and give 'KitKat External SD Card Patch' a try for yourself...

i tried it with carbon rom and dt2w seems to work fine :) but as soon as i flash ktoonsez's kernel i loose ril :( no line at all.. will post in his thread hopefully they know a fix :)

ps. in carbon but also in this rom and mahdi rom (all the aosp roms i tried so far), i can't install some apps, when i start the installation after some time i get app couldn't be installed. it is not a problem in the apk because the same apk installs fine in stock and in my other phone (mi3) running aosp.. tried both art and dalvik, apps don't even install :( i guess all these roms share the same base code (cm) and the problem is there.. is that a known problem? can i help someway the dev to fix this? maybe a log taken immediately after the apps fail to install? please let me know.. thanks!

facing the same issue.. tried the app.. didnt work.. tried Settings-> Storage-> Mount SD Card .. it loads for like a second and then unmounts automatically.. what could be the issue and how to fix it?

Am on build 8.8
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ph3n0mII:
Might not be relevant, but my 6 microSD's(different brands and capacities) all ran fine on my galaxy tab 2 for ~2 years from early CM10 builds to latest cm11, never had to reformat, remount, etc, not the slightest hiccup.

Just got a galaxy tab S last week, tested all the cards..each mounts for a second and dismounts... put back in tab 2, all is good.

So, I copied everything off to pc, formatted them via the tab S, copied all files back on, now working flawlessly in both tablets - tab 2 now has latest slimkat, Tab S has latest stock TW kitkat.

Thats the only problem i've experienced with any of my micro SD cards across 7 devices spanning from CM7 til now so thats all the input I have for now.

tried http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51150132&postcount=3293 but still didnt work.. just read that exfat is not open source so I'm guessing it might not be supported in most AOSP ROMs

strange thing is that Im able to access my card in a CM11 based ROM..

I have a 64 GB Class 10 SD card. I'm guessing formatted to exFat format
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ph3n0mII:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Auzman:
I confirm that by reverting to the original Samsung rom (italian Vodafone for me) the external SD card is accessible, so I suppose that is something kernel related.

What kernel Slimkat uses? I tried also Alucard kernel but with no luck, apart a 900MB NTFS partition that appeared on File Expert app...

It is getting annoying. This is a wonderful rom, the responsiveness of the device is a lot better than the original one, but without external SD card is a problem...

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] hawkerpaul:
For the time being, If no other kernels seem to work for you, I think the easiest solution to these external SD card issues is to format your SD card to FAT32 instead. As long as you dont access files >4Gb, this should be an adequate work-around, at least until the problem has been rectified by CM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
CyanogenMod kernel.

The latest v2 AOSP works like a charm.

Well, indeed. But for most of us, the external card is there :crying:

I was on stock I9505ZZHFNB3 (4.4.2 HongKong ROM) when I killed Knox with TWRP 2.8.0.1 and threw SlimKat 7.0 stable at my i9505 Int'l. I never changed kernels or anything other than the included ringtone/notification tones when I flashed it in. At the same time, I installed a 16GB Samsung Class10 MicroSD card, and immediately found issues with read/write to SD - especially with saving video and photos. Quick surf on Play Store found (thanks to GeekSoft) KitKat External SD Card Patch. Installed it, run it, and haven't had an issue since. Whether it works for your device I can't tell you, I'm just relaying my experience as a basic Helper Post.

The app. is available here...

http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.geeksoft.extcardpatch&hl=en

Hope that helps, and please recognise that I only know what's happened with me personally on SlimKat 4.4.4 Stable v7.0 on a i9505 International - newer releases of SlimKat beyond 7.0 Stable may or may not run GeekSoft's patch differently...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] schizovivek:
I've tried that as well as Paragon. Now the only option left would be to try what hawker suggested.. format to FAT32.. would this impact performace? I load a lot of high res videos on my phone..

I don't know. Please read again the part of my post that said..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Auzman:
I tried tha app linked, I tried to format to FAT32, I tried different microSD cards but no luck.

In CWM under Advanced Functions there is an option called "Sdcard target: /data/media/" that can be changed to "/data/media/0", does it affect anything?

With both settings it is also not possible to mount under CWM the external SD card...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] schizovivek:
I wasnt able to format my card to FAT32.. 64 GB :( .. Tried via cmd prompt and after 100% says volume too big for FAT32..

Guess I'll have to try something else.. Im on MultiROM system so cannot flash another kernel.. was really looking forward to use this as a daily driver :(

Edit:

Just tried via a partition software.. formatted to fat32.. now trying whether card mounts

sadly, formatting to FAT32 didnt work :( .. even checked the platform.xml file to verify the write permissions.. it seems to be present

again tried the Storage-> Mount SD card option. Shows preparing, then calculating and then resets back to Mount SD Card. Could it be that the card size is not supported (64gb Class 10)?

Here is another bug report. It started for me with version 8.6.1: Apps start force closing!

There are some apps that stop working after some time. When I try to open them, they FC after a second. So far I didn't find a pattern. This happened to me so far with Stackexchange app and with Tapatalk.

Only a reboot fixes the problem... for some time until the problem reemerges.

(I just found out that on Greenify, which I have installed, there seems to be some problems. i.e. Youtube can't be hibernated.)

Since the introduction of slim launcher I am getting fc's in Nova and Apex when doing things like toggling the nav bar on and off or entering system settings or just randomly. I thought at first it may be a Nova issue, so I swapped to Apex, but still the same - so the common denominator seems to be slim.

Is anyone else seeing this behaviour?

BTW I deleted slim launcher but that made no difference.

Also - on this last build things that used to work fine no longer work - ie: pressing home button on default home screen in Nova or Apex set to switch screen off using slim actions shortcut no longer works, nor does clearing all notifications using a shortcut to sidecontrols 'clear all notifications' shortcut :(
