Trying to get Miracast working...

In an effort to get my S4 able to cast toother screens, I've been reading all the posts, looking at all the forums, and generally making a pest of myself All Over The Place...

All of the efforts so far have not worked, but I do think there is hope...

Some of my discoveries on along the way -

1) we don't have a wfdconfig.xml file to edit.

2) Anything done to my build.prop doesn't have an effect.

3) Since this is a Lollipop ROM, more than a few of the other methods probably wouldn't work anyway, because...reasons.

In my poking around, I did discover three files that look suspiciously like they might affect all of this. They're in system / lib/drm folder

libdrmplugin.so

libdrmwvmplugin.so

libfwdlockengine.so

Can anyone take a look at these files and tell me if they actually affect the HDCP on our phones? Apparently, according to almost everything I have read so far, once rooted, one cannot get miracast to function unless the "custom" bit from root is untripped, or HDCP is removed from the system.

Anyone out there have enough experience in these kinds of things to give a hand or point in a correct direction? I LOVE this ROM, but I used to use it for making presentations at work and Really Miss the functionality...

Thanks in advance!

Double tap to sleep is very recent on s4 and you feel already uncomfortable to press power key? Don't you press it to turn on the phone?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Achristocat:
So Close!

So, I got the ROM to recognize the dongle and get the screen to cast to it.

Here's what I did -

This is all based on this set of info from here -

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/35609-toro-build-5-milestone-1-play-movies-license-fetch-error/

This is all from 2012 so I had to look around a bit and modify their info for our ROM

Using Root Explorer, I went to these files and renamed them with the .BAK suffix (so I could find them again easily in case it didn't work... :) )

system/lib/libwvm.so

system/lib/drm/libdrmwvmplugin.so

system/vendor/lib/libwvdrm_L1.so

system/vendor/lib/libWVStreamControlAPI_L1.so

Then I commented out this line from build.prop: ( again, commented so I could reverse if necessary )

drm.service.enabled=true

Reboot

And Everything seems to be great EXCEPT Netflix movies will not cast - the frame of control and all movie info overlays I can see just fine around the edges of the frame, and the sound is there, but the movie image cannot be seen.

On the site where the info is, they say that this mod will break Hulu. I am now off to go experiment with UNdoing things file by file to see if anything changes.

WOOHOO for experimentation! :)

I use Sygic... Works like a charm
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Achristocat:
Update - Just commnet out the HDCP in build.prop

After another round of experimentation, it turns out all you need to do is comment out

drm.service.enabled=true

to get the exact same functionality as all of the lib file renaming, etc... :)

It STILL does not play Netflix files, but it will allow YouTube...

Still experimenting...

Now if any of the devs out there want to figure out how to get my Netflix movies to 'Cast, I'd be the happiest puppy in town.. :)

What are the signs of needing an updated modem? I flashed this back when it was 4.4.2 touchwiz to the KitKat 4.4.4 and then onward.

Is it just battery and data issues or is it something that affects you signal strength too? I've been in a lot of hospitals recently and the service has been pretty spotty.

It just might be that, but I haven't really been anywhere else since before Xmas as some jackhole knocked my 82yr old mum down.. She's on the mend tho.

Disable charging LED?

Morning all,

Just wondering if anyone knows of any way to disable the charging LED? Possible on all previous roms and whilst it might be possible on this one I can't find the option. It lights my room up like crazy during the night.

Sorry if I've missed a post about this but with over 1000 pages, it's hard to trawl through and a generic search brings up nothing (unless I'm not searching correctly).

General rom feedback -

Literally awesome, battery life is incredible. I'm running at underclocked 1.5ghz and undervolted by a fair amount and I'm getting perfect runs, no lags or crashes and no restarts. Hitting about 2/3 days on average usage and more than a full day on intensive.

Only criticism is the front camera, less than perfect, however that can be said about all S4 non-stock roms! Thanks guys.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SergioA:
Hi kdw1963, any news about your BT problems?

I recently tried CM12 and had to come back to stock rom as BT connection to my Golf 7 car kit was very unreliable...

I'd really like to try this rom but would like to know if BT performance could be better than CM12 or if the underlying code is the same

Thanks and Ciao!

Hi with this rom is the same, unreliable, i have a golf 6 with original carkit rns315 , phone does disconnect every 7 minutes and connects again in 10 seconds after about 7 minutes again and so on..........

This link is better: https://github.com/Kryten2k35/JFLTE-GPE/blob/master/Changelog.md

Subject to change, though. We feature froze last weekend and have been testing this week (though I have one more thing to add in that is perfectly stable, and I udpated Googy Max yesterday).

Bluetooth is perfectly fine on this ROM. I understand that some devices are having issues connecting to i9505's after 5.0, but all the same, if bluetooth was broken then this wouldo be the case for everyone. It's not. I haven't had any bluetooth issues at all... But I don't use it in a car.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
Check your APN and also if you have latest modem for your device. Secondly when you download the ROM check md5 before you flash. It should start aroma. If it didn't start for you that means you must have a bad download or you downloaded 4.4.4, this is one of the best, stable ROM. Enjoy and All the best.

I have found this to be a very stable, very awesome ROM.... far above the rest I have tried, especially the CM12 variants around. You guys are awesome!

I just have one small issue. AudioFX does not seem to work, at least not when playing Pandora through a Bluetooth dongle in my car. I open AudioFX, set it to Bluetooth, and change the EQ, and it doesn't have any affect on the sound.

Is there any way Viper4Android could be added to this ROM as an Aroma option alongside the other two EQs? Here are instructions on how to install it but I'm hoping it can be integrated:

Cannot enable WIFI /greyed out

Hello,

I am still on Android version 4.4.2 Omega V24 (XXUFNB9). To prepare the update i have already flashed GSM and WIFI fix: GSM_Modem_XXUGNK4_and_LTE_Modem_XXUGNK4 and bootloader BL_I9505XXUGNK4_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT successfully. This resulted in a broken WIFI in my current ROM. Wil this be resolved when i flash to Google Play 5.0.1 ROM? Furthermore i am not able to flash in TWRP kernel: Googy-Max3-Kernel-GE5. It results in failed. Can somebody advise me how to proceed? Thank you very much!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reg66:
I'm no expert by a long shot, but I'd guess Wi-Fi will still be broken. I'd recommend flashing latest firmware for bootloader and modem, get it from sammobile and flash via Odin. Kernel is included in this Rom so no need to flash separately in twrp.

Commenting out

drm.service.enabled=true

in my build.prop did solve the screen mirroring to miracast dongle problem for me....

Certain TV's with earlier implementations of WiFiDirect are known to have DRM / HDCP issues.

If your TV or projector has HDMI inputs, I recommend getting a Miracast certified dongle to 'cast to. YMMV!

Good luck

We don't know. The S4 GPE was removed from the play store before 5.0 released. My guess is that it'll come assuming the One M7 also gets it, which HTC is likely to announce in due time. If true, we're still probably talking months away.

People! I love this ROM but sadly it's a love hate relationship.

As soon as I step outside of my house and mobile data activates, the battery drains like through a 5 foot wide pipe.

Not sure what's going on here but I have the latest modem and bootloader. Maybe CRC version? I'm on a German carrier. Also I've dirty flashed the last update and restored with titanium before.

Attached you find my better battery stats logs since last boot.

Seems like Google gmc service is causing the drain? Oh yeah, and I'm using a Google wear device as well but I doubt it's the reason. What I wonder about is the slowdown and the battery drain once mobile data is active...

Any ideas?

In same section it says it needs PUK2 code to change settings... doh!

Also, Lolliepop phone interface does suck :). The old system to swype a number left to TXT it and right to call it was great. The new one sucks. If a number is in the call list and you want to txt them it takes about 5 clicks to get there. :( Any suggestions.

odin installation

hello there,

would like to know if this new update could be possibly install through odin in windows?

i upgraded to this rom a couple of weeks ago and got the latest update. but today, when i'm opening the game minion rush and it's downloading some patches, the phone suddenly turned off! and then when i switched it on, it reboots repeatedly. as i decided to do factory reset thru recovery and re-install the rom, it got stuck after opening and nothing happens.

now since i can't re-install it by recovery, i wanted to know if it can be done thru odin.
