Optical image stabilization is a hardware feature, which this device does not have. Only Note 4 and Galaxy S6 have this feature, from the Samsung line (as far as I know).

There is, however, digital image stabilization, which is done in the software. Though, the only camera app that offers this feature is the Snap Camera, and I am not sure it really works.

I ran into the BT stuttering issue for the first time. I am using the hulk kernel and some settings on here that someone recommend would work.

Does anyone know which kernel or governor is the best for performance? I really don't care much about battery. I mostly want as smooth buttery performance as possible.

Thanks.

What's that "dot-per-inch" thing?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Thanks. I was simply curious because I know the last version had alternatives to Google Now in the ROM. With that all out of the way, I do have one other curiosity question. After the issues with the add-on zips for the current ROM, I restored my nandroid backup to the previous ROM, manually upgraded the Google apps and changed the build.prop. That last was so that the OTA app wouldn't pester me with an update. Anyway, the changelog for the current ROM mentions "removed hardswap stuff". How easy is it to remove the "hardswap" stuff?

Screencast doesnt work with fire tv stick with this rom but it worked yesterday with stock tw Rom. Can someone confirm this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sfinkedbeef:
Have been on this for 2 months

...and I really appreciate this ROM. The ONLY thing I can fault (and maybe just cant find it) is that there was an "call settings" tab in the "call" tab in the general settings, which I cannot find. Specifically, I need to occasionally have my caller ID turned off and this setting allowed for this in previous ROMS (4.4, 4.2 etc).

Am I missing it, or did it get dropped as an option?

Thanks!

Just tried that modem, stood outside like a moron for nearly an hour trying to get a GPS fix. and nothing... lol

I just want to get a GPS Lock so i can use my fitness apps i've tried a few things but yet to find a solution....

Any other ideas or 'fixes' to get a GPS lock? Could this issue be due to the CSC country being USA and not Australia?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Did you try the obvious, Faster GPS Fix?

The gps.conf file is set for the USA as the GPE S4 devices were intended for the US market, based on the LTE frequencies. Change the location with Faster GPS Fix and it should help, as the app edits the file.

Anyways, I noticed after updating the rom after the new OTA update, I tried the HULK kernel call volume is really low (volume on max) known issue? Or possible fix to make it loud again? :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] droid_1989:
I noticed this too, I think in Hulk Settings app you can change the volume, so I did that. Worked okay yesterday, will check when i'm out in town later as there will be background noise around.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] humungousfungusamongus:
I must admit I was caught out with the xtras being options in the OTA. I had read about it but forgot.

I do notice however that the earpiece volume isn't as loud and is a little in the quiet side. Is that a bug or adjustable somewhere other than the obvious of course.

Is it headphone gain in hulk tweaks?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Epic.:
I noticed a significant drop in Viper4Android's effects on Hulk Kernel v1.1 and have reverted back to GoogyMax Final 1.3.0, will try out Hulk Kernel v1.0 and v1.0.1 so the dev of Hulk Kernel can single out when the problem started.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] droid_1989:
I don't know if this is placebo, but this fix with the latest rom version and hulk kernel is giving me improved battery life.

Is this something Kryten can add to the next release? Am I the only one who's tried it?

How to change the splash screen?

Hi guys, I've an interesting question for [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] and for all of you:

Since I would like to eradicate all the traces left by the hated S4 "Lagwiz", is it possible to replace the "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505" boot splash screen logo with the stock "Google" boot splash screen logo used in all GPE and Nexus devices?

Searching on the web, many people suggested to use the AIO Flasher tool or the ROM Toolbox Pro app.

Is it safe and possible to apply the replacement on this ROM?

Thank you very much! :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mooyaart:
Wow, I hate Toucwiz as much as any man but that's some hardcore hatred right there!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Epic.:
Why don't you just blink when the splash screen is about to come up :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MariuxReloaded:
Ahahah! No, don't worry, maybe I'm too much drastic, but it's just because I would like to have a complete Android stock experience, even in the littlest details (I'm a perfectionist, it's one of my shortcomings XD), and I would like to know if it's possible this kind of replacement in this ROM, that's it :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MatteoB92:
From what I know, you can simply replace the 'bootanimation.zip' or a thing like this
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Talha7866:
I am not able to use otg on this rom why? Can anybody please tell me i am using googy's 1.3.0 kernel please help me
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] -Ric-:
That's not gonna happen, i believe that boot screen is part of the bootloader, i doubt there is any way to modify it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MariuxReloaded:
Yeah, I know, but some people on the web said that the boot splash screen logo is linked to the kernel and the bootloader, so maybe someone managed to change it on the S4, maybe [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] or [MENTION=1897326]googy_anas[/MENTION] themselves, that's why I'm asking it =/

If it's not possible, then I'll give up XD

EDIT:

Ok, then I give up ='( Thank you very much, guys! ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cantenna:
I'm using stock gpe kernel myself, wife is using googy kernel, we both have applied this fix.

I'm sure this is something they could add but it would be a duplicated effort and maintainer of the thread who posted the fix already said he will commit to future updates when needed, so good news for us:)

Just important to be aware of, its something to flash after a ROM flash.

We should also be applying the memory leak xposed fix too found in the play store.

Gmail/Exchange Services has stopped.

Hi folks,

I'm on the 20150223 build and have been running solidly since I installed it the day it was released - very impressive, seriously not a single crash, reboot, or anything. I've enjoyed a very stable ROM with no issues whatsoever.

Until two days ago.

About then was when I started noticing a message pop up on my screen and go away as quickly as it comes. Most of the time I can't even read what it says because it disappears too fast. I only see a white rectangle flash in the middle of the screen. But sometimes it stays there long enough to say one of two things: Unfortunately, Gmail has stopped, or Unfortunately, Exchange Services has stopped. This is an intermittent problem. Sometimes it's happening constantly and others it is not happening at all. Yesterday, I opened Gmail and was greeted with an admonition that Gmail will not work without installing Google Play Services, which I opened in the Play Store and it said it was already installed.

Rebooting the phone does not resolve the problem. It comes back up with a message that Gmail has stopped. Sometimes Gmail will open and operate normally. Other times as soon as I open it it says Gmail has stopped. This is kind of a maddening problem really, and I did absolutely nothing to the phone to make it happen. Has anyone else come across this? I'd prefer to stay on 20150223 until something in a ROM update piques my interest as I'm not the flash-happy animal I used to be; I just want a stable phone and for months, everything has just worked.

I could provide a logcat upon request if that would help. If the 0223 build isn't supported, I *guess* I'll update to the 0419 build. If I have to.

Thanks [MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] for the awesome ROM!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
Since you don't want to flash the update I would suggest you to take a backup of your current ROM first. Once you do that uninstall Gmail and also the Google play services. Reboot the device and let Google play services install on its own. Then download Gmail from play store again. You'll not be able to uninstall play services fully, so just uninstall the update and restore it to factory version. This is what I would do. Last resort would be to clean flash the newest update. Again this is what I would do, others may be able to give a better alternative. All the best mate ?

Bug: after flashing April 19th build, "Menu to recents"

causes the hardware buttons to stop working

, no matter if you revert to Stock buttons. If you clean install the ROM, buttons will work again and stop working if Menu to recents is enabled (together with on-screen zero-size buttons feature)

Is there a way of making them work again without having to re-install everything for the second time in two days?

Edit: not even power and volume buttons are working.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Madaurensis:
Same to me, it worked smoothly during the last two months without wiping, but then... Yesterday... It happened.

Probably the issue depends on the downgrade from TWRP 2.8.6 to 2.8.4, which also had caused that every time I rebooted my phone, Play Store couldn't remember the updates of two apps...:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MariuxReloaded:
Nope man. That's the bootanimation. I meant the splash screen logo with the white "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505" inscription on a black background. It can't be replaced, since it is stored in the kernel and the bootloader. Unfortunately, it can be replaced only on Motorola and HTC devices :(

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jeremeel2015:
thanks for the info :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nostrings:
You're quite welcome. Though, I wish I could tell you that F2FS was usable in the other partitions as well, as I myself tried that not too far back. Unfortunately, the way the ROM is coded is that it specifically declares ext4 as the filesystem to use when mounting, as far as I can tell. Unless that change is made by the devs here on the official GPE codebase - if possible at all - then I wouldn't get my hopes up.

It's a shame that Samsung isn't using their own FS. Motorola, on the other hand, uses F2FS (I am told). Go figure.

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------

@Prosis First thing after download. If you looked at all or (like me) used the search option, you would find..........

Note:*Some users are reporting high cell standby usage in battery stats (Androids only), I've tracked this down to "mobile radio active" improperly counting up even when on airplane mode and reporting high battery drain even though there is no drain at all, I believe this is RIL related and only some carriers are effected and a 5.0 modem should fix it, for now flash this patch in recovery and reboot if you are experiencing this issue and Cell standby will return to realistic values in your Settings/battery stats, this is a cosmetic patch but will do for now.*Download it here*

for those who are interested I edited the power_profile.xml in framework-res to value mobile radio active less (since it's borked for some carriers) keep in mind,*THERE IS NO BATTERY DRAIN, just reporting is wrong and this is just purely*cosmetic
