Hi All.

Just for sharing. I finally flash a proper modem as previously I was having bad drops in reception. Then I flashed a 4.4.2 modem and lost sound. I did some research over the net and found that I flashed a modem that's too new for my bootloader.

Hence, I found http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49495985&postcount=2122

The answer is there. And I flashed that GSM+LTE and it works fine, sound and WiFi works.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
It's only the LTE modem that has to match your bootloader. The modem can be as new as the latest available.

DPI problem

Hi all!

I've noticed that this ROM (at least on my phone) has slightly lower dpi than usual.

For instance in one row I can put only 4 icons whereas on the first post one can see that there are 5 icons in one row.

Also I've noticed that the letters on the Simple calendar widget are bigger.

Does anyone else has the same issue?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sprocketty:
am facing issue of camera app force closing and hanging occasionally. This usually happens when I'm trying to take a pic, and then hit the power button to switch off the screen. When I power on the screen again, sometimes camera will hang and have that double vibration FC happen....

Anyone else experience this? Would reverting to the stock s4 camera apk work better?

Appreciate any advice thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hadjidan:
In build prop it says that the LCD density value is 480
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
That's correct. It's the default/stock value. Some people change it to allow more content on the screen. Using 430 personally as I find stuff on the screen way too big when leaving it at 480. YMMV, naturally.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hadjidan:
I have also tried the other S4 Google ROM (S4 Google Edition - 4.4.2) and I think it had lower value, not sure though, it looked nicer for sure.

Might try it again just to check.

Hey,

I have a problem...

If I try to flash this ROM, is starts to install but then just stucks at the "Samsung Galaxy S4" boot screen.

I come from 4.2.2 and made factory reset + wipe cache/dalvik cache?

Any advice, please? Can't use my phone at this moment :(

I use TWRP 2.6.3.1 ... no problems at all...wipe everything and it should be fine
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Waffeleisen666:
Thanks for your response.

I'm using CWM-based REcovery v6.0.3

Should I install a different one with ODIN?

I wiped data and cache several times now. Still can't boot my phone

Greets
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] giarob78:
you must wipe system too, not only data...install the last TWRP recovery 2.7.1 and before install the rom make a data, SYSTEM, internal storage, cache and dalvik wipe.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Waffeleisen666:
Okay I will flash TWRP Recovery via ODIN then. I can't wipe system, only data/factory reset with CWM!?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] giarob78:
yes, go in TWRP download official page, install the last twrp 2.7.1 for International Galaxy S4 9505 and do wipe for what i say to you before. With TWRP (go in Advanced Wipe section) you select System, Internal Storage, Data, Cache e Dalvik...:good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Waffeleisen666:
My phone is booting now... Thank you so much! TWRP ftw!

EDIT:

I needed a new modem, too. Now is everything working, except one (for me very important) thing:

The IR blaster.

I use the app "Smart Remote" and there is no reaction :(

Thanks for the information regarding WatchOn. But I've read about WatchOn in the first post. But this app is just ridiculously overloaded with unecessary things. I need Smart Remote to control projectors (most of the time) and don't need a TV guide.

EDIT: I reinstalled without my old remotes now. Before I used Titanium Backup. Now it works fine again. Thanks!

hey guys,

I have a bit of an issue and i did a bit of a search but couldn't find the problem.

I have succesfully installed the mod and then installed the MKE modems to get reception, however i have no sound and can't make or recieve phone calls.

any tips?

Cheers,

Trav
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Murthick:
This happens when you flash a 4.3 LTE modem (MKE) on the old bootloader. To recover sound you need to flash the XXUBMH1 LTE modem. Extract the modem and flash in Odin under Phone/CP. Make sure to boot into download mode manually. http://d-h.st/f99
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] xa-mont:
well that worked a bit. I now have sound but don't have any network connection.

WINNER!!!!

so what I did was flash the NB9 modem (https://mega.co.nz/#!OBZD0CSR!Jji9hPGiR54JgL_boq-0Mv3jaUKvMozB66bwO7_1rMs), which got me my network back but sound was gone again, THEN i flashed the WIFI fix (http://d-h.st/f99) and now i have both network and sound. tested an outgoing and incoming call and both worked.

Thanks a lot Murthick and giarob78.

Now that official i9505 4.4.2 Samsung Roms are released, will there be Google Edition roms with the original kernel? Would that even work? Make a difference? Bring improvements?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sker100:
ok, then i have a problem i guess, i do a clean install. Wipe factory, cache and dalvik cache and then install the rom, butt don't have the gmail and calendar. i use philz touch recovery could that be the problem ?

thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Murthick:
No, that's completely normal for this ROM. All of the Google apps that can be downloaded from the play store are not pre-installed in this ROM as a lot of people would end up uninstalling most of them anyway. Solution: download and install them from the play store.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sker100:
ok didn't know that, i usually use touchwiz roms or the cyanogenmod and they have that pre-install. Thanks for the reply the rom seems pretty god for what i have tested yet.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Blackbird256:
Are you sure? Last time I checked you need to flash gapps on CM. TW definitely has some of them already.

I installed the gapps I need from their google play page. Saved me all the trouble

https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Google Inc.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sker100:
i mistake in CM they give you the gapps to install in a zip. you have to install after instal the rom, when i ask in here if there is a gapp to this rom, didn't know that in the play store we can do the download of them.

thanks for all your reply's

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
What? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
But, how long until it deforms again? My phone was new in October, so it was within the warranty when I realised it was my battery messing up my phone. The P/N wasn't listed or recognised by Samsung as one of the faulty batch, but I knew it was expanding (if you laid it on a table, you could rock it from side to side... my SGS3 battery did not do this - neither does the Anker).

My advice? Get the Anker too, keep the Samsung as a spare :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
Well, according to what these guys are talking... only batteries from specific batches are affected.

I'm lucky, thank God! My battery is from a different batch; I've had this phone for about 6 months now and the battery is still flat. :victory:

Yeah, charged at ~60%, in a sealed box, placed in the refrigerator.

Just installed and everything seems fine, but one thing that bothers me and I was on Jamal's before and had the same issue, the front camera picture seems fine before taking the shot, but when I actually take the shot it seems washed out, no color nor resolution :s Anyone having problems like that? If I just take a screenshot of the camera app it turns out to be better than taking the photo. :eek: GPe problem, maybe? I don't remember what it was like when on Touchwiz. What about you guys? Everything ok in front camera? The video recording is superb, only problem is photo, looks like some weird compression :/

I forgot to mention that most of this post-shot-wash-out happens only indoors. It doesn't look like hardware problem because if I just use it as a mirror the quality is ok :s What would explain that? Driving me crazy, can't find any solution :/

I recommend you to try snap camera app from play store, it squeezes the potential of the camera hardware on GE roms, I'm dan's rom and it works great. I'm sure you'll end up buying it :good:

Is anyone experiencing huge battery drains with latest facebook update?

I had to remove the app in order return to my previous values - something between 1% and 2% (from BBS)... With its latest update, this values increased to 6,7,8% per hour, eish!! :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ashramrak:
in my experience FB is an ugly battery drainer no matter what; greenify it !
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
The only thing I hate is that with anti-shake enabled, you can't override it from doing its thing at will. Say, anti-shake is on, but you really can't get a steady shot right now, so you wanna override it... a second tap or something should temporarily disable it as you take the picture.

*bursts in flames*

Okay I'm done with the OT :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaTrED_:
It was greenified already, i use greenify for everything(!), but somehow this battery drainage continued... only removing the app stooped this behavior. Kinda weird since it's the first time i'm experiencing this issues with facebook... and i've been using it since the early beginnings of Dan's ROM!

Is there a way to enable softkeys with this ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] diwakarchopra:
A great ROM, probably the best out there for AOSP!

I've found a few bugs after 2 weeks of testing:

1) Sound distortion through phone speaker and through headphones/earphones. I've noticed that sound gets distorted, especially the alarm tone, on this rom, not sure whether this is a kernel issue or not. Tried with and without mods like Viper4Android, still couldn't figure out why.

2) The stock messaging app cannot detect that someone sent me a MMS, such as a picture or a group message or a contact file over SMS. When I try using another SMS app, I can see that I received a file, but whenever I tap on it, the app the just crashes.

3) Battery life. For me (Using an i9505 over AT&T, MJ5 modem, can't get LTE) battery life has always been pretty bad. I've tried numerous roms, kernels, tweaks but I cannot figure out why my battery life is bad. I've checked my BetterBatteryStats logs too, cannot find the cause of unnecessary battery drain. I have a SanDisk 32GB microSD card, and I read somewhere that large sd cards can be an issue, so I tried unmounting that too, but it didn't do much help.

Also, any way I can get the TW camera on this rom? I know it requires the TW framework to work, but I've seen the Lenovo and LG camera apps floating around the forums, so I thought that it could be done :P
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rauschkugl:
I don't have a problem with sound distortion.

Mj5 is your gsm modem. There's a different modem for lte.

No you can't get the tw camera.

You can fix the sound distortion by reducing the amount of amplification done to the speakers via the faux sound app.

The modems are in the modem thread in the general section. Lte modems are the nonhlos.bin files or also called wifi fix. There's a link to all of them somewhere at the top of the first post. If you're on the old bootloader mh1 is the newest you're allowed to flash. You will loose wifi and sound if you flash a newer on the old bootloader.

Don't know about call recording, search the thread, there were people who have it working.

I have no such issue (setting a default dialer), and others would have pointed out if it were a problem in the rom...

But the specific use you mention (notification/missed calls) this is a good behavior and mine is set so also: otherwise looking at missed calls in exDialer the notification wouldn't disappear. That's why there is there is an option in exDialer to invoke the stock dialer in this specific occassion. at least that's how I remember, maybe 4.x changed things...
