The true story about Samsung IR blaster Problems

Issue : The ConsumerIrManager class method "transmit(intcarrierFrequency, int[] pattern)" does not work properly in versions of Android prior to 4.4.3.

Symptom : The transmit method does not work in Android 4.4.3.

Cause

The "pattern" array in "transmit (intcarrierFrequency, int[] pattern)" alternates between on/off patterns and each pattern duration is in microseconds. However, pattern in Samsung devices using versions older than Android 4.4.3 KitKat is expressed as the number of cycles (i.e. periods) of the carrier frequency. Implementing the method according to the API guide based on this difference will result in malfunctions on Samsung devices using Android versions older than 4.4.3.

Figure 1. e.g. 40 KHz carrier frequency, period = 1sec/40000 = 25us

Workaround : In order to use transmit in older Android versions, pattern must be expressed as the number of cycles in the carrier frequency and Build.VERSION.RELEASE must be used in order to differentiate from versions later than 4.4.3.

So IR changed at kernel level or framework level ?

Hi. The only app that works on GPE 4.4.3 for now is Smart IR Remote. It's been discussed a lot already.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] flash608:
This is the info from the app page from google play:

"If you use 4.4.3 and the app doesn't work for you, please send us an email at colortigerapps@gmail.com and we'll fix it for you. It's a bug present only in custom ROMs".

I`ve got a very fast response from this developer and now Smart IR Remote is working great.

As [opensys] wrote "coding" has changed, so it needs to be changed by app developer.

I'm on your latest flashable test autobrightness, not the above, but after a few days I must say it's still too dark, but only in somewhat in-the-middle lighting conditions, like in slightly dimmed room when it's sunny outside. I would crank it up a notch.

KT= most flexible kernel can either be tweaked to have extreme battery life (comatose) or kick ass performance (ktoonsified V6)

Googy= great out of the box and not meant to be tweaked much ..... there are inconsistencies with it though super quick in some apps and general use (Samurai II: vengeance, Shadowgun and Shadowgun : Deadzone) and some small stutters (Asphalt 8, Modern Combat ) ... battery life with this kernel is spectacular out of the box ;)

they're both great kernels BTW ;)

Greetings all!

First of all congrats to OP for a nice offer of a ROM that completely got my eye :D

Now, allow me to explain why I said "offer of a ROM" :) At the moment I am in a third world country when it comes to internet access, which means downloading the ~256MB is a challenge on its own, so I have one question to the users (it might sound picky):

-> Is is possible to skip a song long pressing the volume up key when the screen is locked, and rewind by pressing the down key?

Would really appreciate this feedback from someone!

Cheers!

These features are not built into the ROM, however you can use xposed with gravity box to get them.

Hi,

would you mind sharing your framework-res, so we can try your settings? I haven't been able to decompile and compile the apk yet... still learning :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Ok no problem

Bear in mind that I was one of those who actually preferred the new CM brightness curve.

These settings retain the very dim screen in particularly low light, but reacts better in my tests in mid to high lighting conditions.

Hey guys. Any good bench results with Pure nexus ROM?

I'm getting poor results. Default settings without even opening ktweaker I get around 25k

The weirdest thing is, after playing with ktweaker even if it's just to load ktgamer profile or ktoonsified I get even lower results like 22/23k

Even more weird is that even if I set kernel defaults I never get close to the initial 25k :s

Benchmarks are irrelevant and don't reflect real usage of your phone

Don't read anything into benchmarks, treat them as a fun app and nothing more...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
100%.

Even with a Linaro optimised kernel and ROM build, benchmarks don't improve at all, yet we can see the speediness and snappiness of the device in real usage. Same for ART (though ART has been shown with benchmarks to kill a little OpenGL performance. Worthy trade off for better battery and performance).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] -sandro-:
I'm running various tests to find out what drains that battery so fast on mobile data (while on standby) on GE ROMs analyzing logcats between tests whie changing system settings or disabling services. As of now the results are inconclusive :( I'm not gonna give up soon :)

I'm still convinced that fast dormancy is somewhat not active and responsible, causing the CPU to run at high clock when not needed or keeping the modem port open. In fact this wakelock is not present on GE ROMS while it is on any other ROM.

5 years ago I had my first android a s1 today was the first time i had the balls to flash my phone with another rom. Ended 3 times in a bootloop but that aside. It truly looks awesome. It actually makes me think about my next phone being a Nexus.

My only small thing is that it might would be handly if for new people it's a bit more known that when you want to flash a factory wipe from philz isn't the best option.

But that aside. Aweome job
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] poisonborz:
Recently I pulled out the battery a bit too early, and as a result the phone can't boot (stuck at the logo)

I've tried to flash the a rom zip from TWRP but wherever I place the zip on the device (except for sdcard folder which is unaccessible) the install fails with "partition can't be found". Is there a solution to this?

(alternatively, could someone point me to an odin-flashable base rom? would that be a solution?)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
First thing to try is to wipe cache+dalvik.

If that fails, then I recall seeing this problem in my S2 days, which had a strange solution of taking a nandroid of /data then restore it.

Curiously this cured the problem. If the cache wipes fail then its worth a try.

Other than that, try re-flashing the ROM without wipe.

If that fails, the it looks like a factory reset.

I have the following problem.

I live in Colombia, South America, my carrier is movistar.

I got a S4 i9505, but is using your rom and is showed as i9505G.

My carrier "requires" the phone to be GTi337n in order to get 4G connection.

It is ok to flash this in my i9505?

Sorry if this is too n00b, but that is just me.

Thanks again!

UPDATE IN THE OP

06/24/2014

*Use the updated DarkUI flash zip if you use this feature*

-Autobrightness adjusted, I upped the values a bit so mostly everyone should be happy, the screen is no longer too dark but does a good job saving power too, I'll be submitting this array to CM.

-Home button long press vibration and touchkey button vibration smoothed out, should give the perfect amount of haptic feedback when this option is enabled

-Kernel updated

-Updated build.prop

-Last 4.4.3 release, stay tuned 4.4.4 whenever they decide to give us that
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bak-er:
Seriously?

Yes I am a noob when it comes to roms but there was no criticizing of anything I simply wrote my opinion

and asked if there was anyway to flash the twr camera and keyboard.

I now know there is not and if you want the google edition you would have to have the poor camera and keyboard that's with it.

Do you not think people with little knowledge would want to know this information before switching to a Google edition rom?

A simple "no you cant" would have sufficed instead of a stupid rant.

Thanks again for the hard work put into this rom :):good:

Is there a way to revert to original values?

For the rest thanks again for the rom and hard work. You made an first flash quite easy
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rauschkugl:
You can recalibrate it if your value is too high wenn the sensor is not covered. It should be below 15 to work without problems.

When i stop music player i have to do it all again. Where is equalizer for music fx????

2). This is major problem. Even when my phone is plugged in charger it still decreases!? When im on the phone e.g. Surfing playstore etc. It only charges if i dont use my phone. This has just happened two days ago (been on this rom for about 2 months) there are no rougue apps aswell. Kernel is set to interactive + cfq (tried kt + row but it didnt help) i have not overclocked or anything. The only thing i have changed is the gpu setting. I have increased them both by one.

Plz plz tell me what i can to or what the problem is. I installed on clean nc4

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
With regards to the brightness settings that has seemed to be the cause of so much debate.

I believe the problem lies in the terrible light sensor that we have in the S4.

Download Phone Tester from the play store and select Sensors Status.

Then scroll down to see the value of the light sensor.

It's daylight outside (7:30am), and have have daylight coming into an unlit room (too tight to pay for electric) However, the sensor still reports 0. I wouldn't even describe my current lighting conditions as dark.

0 should be the value it returns in pitch black.

The sensor needs quite a bit of light to even start registering in the first place.

Its the brightness setting in this large grey area that causes all our problems.

In light-ish conditions (when this is still reporting 0) then a dim setting can look exactly that.

So if this is upped, then it looks much better under these conditions.

However, in extremely dark conditions this setting looks much too bright and can cause eye-strain, so the dimmest setting for the screen is then much better.

I think this is why there has been so much discrepancy in the brightness settings. Some say the original updated CM values are great (myself included) others say its too dim. This is probably because the ones who prefer it usually operate in darker lighting than the ones who didn't like it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
The bright sun with blue sky was mostly the problem, the car was where it was to dim, around 1300 lux or so, the minimum 0lux to 40 lux value got bumped from 15 to 20 just because it isn't too bright and makes the 1080p screen look crisp

I'm just trying to find the perfect balance that will suit as many people as possible, satisfying everyone is impossible but I'm running these settings and it's MILES better then stock google play edition and their samsung dyanmic autobrightness arrays, confusing and bright :fingers-crossed:
