Waw, what a really smooth, light and clean rom we have here. I just installed it 1h ago and I already love it. :D

Is there a way to get a black themed google play music app ? The white theme is way too bright for my eyes.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Murthick:
You can get a black themed version from here: http://goo.gl/4xPCYn

However it's not the latest Google Play Music app, it's an older version.

I've been running this rom for a couple of weeks and it's been pretty much smooth like silk. I'm using ktoonsez ge kernel, with a little bump in cpu/gpu speeds&voltage tweaking I'm getting 29000 points in antutu, and battery life is superb -given the stuff I have already installed in these couple of weeks, and not having bothered looking into wakelocks&stuff yet- SO A BIG :good: for the developers.

Just a couple of things that I need to get sorted out:

-It seem I have a weaker radio connection/signal than with my previous rom, even getting no-service in some indoors locations where it didn't have a problem retaining a LTE link before (I've read about gsm issues on the thread, will look into that).

-Bluetooth audio stuttering, I could not believe it, I switch from an AOSP based rom to this one to get rid of driver related glitches in BT/Camera/etc... after a little trial and error playing with KTweaker, it seems it's not a driver/rom related, it only happens when the screen is off, raising the min CPU clockspeed when using BT audio and/or screen is off maybe helped a little but didn't solve the issue, and what totally got rid of it was changing the screen-off governor from ktoonservative to on-demand. I didn't know what was the key of a conservative governor until now, and after reading about it, it makes a little sense that the stuttering was caused because of it (or shouldn't it?), I did a little monitoring of CPU frequency and active cores when playing back music through BT, screen-on, and it was constantly jumping from the lowest clock step to above 1Ghz directly, plugging/unplugging a second core. Maybe it's been covered somewhere else, if so, sorry to bring it back, but I have not read about it, if that's the case please point me to the source :) If it hasn't been covered, any input about this and/or experience? even though the issue is solved changing the screen-off governor, after reading about conservative governors, and ktoonservative in particular, I would really like to keep it as screen-off's, I suspect its battery impact vs on-demand might be significant

I could set a high-cpu clock when media/BT is in use regardless of screen status, but efficiency wise that'd be worse than letting the on-demand governor do its work. Maybe there's a setting to select a different screen-off governor when BT audio is active, kinda like the BT-audio-on min CPU speed setting? (could not find anything like that in KTweaker). Or maybe none of this I'm writing makes sense and the solution is far simpler :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
for BT/Audio stutter,use ondemand or interactive governor

If you want to use ktoonservativeq then make sure disable_hotplug=1 for both media and bluetooth,

Screen on during call

Hi all,

I have searched this tread and found various answers but I am not having any luck and on the kernel thread.

I hope someone can help. I love this rom and Ktoonz kernel but I have had persistent problems with the music stuttering while screen off and when on a call, the screen simply doesn't come back on.

When on a call, the screens on to answer the phone, then it doesn't come back on without pressing the menu button, rather than the screen coming back on when moved away from my face.

I have tried various governors, scripts and profiles, changing settings like super conservative, screen sampling, screen off mhz - no difference.

Can someone recommend a solution? I'm not overly fussy about battery/performance, but the basic functionality is compromised at the moment.

Any suggestions would be great, I'm out of ideas.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
clean you're proximity sensor with compressed air/hold a vacuum to the earpiece. the problem is hardware and its dirty (known issue) this is messing up the calibration and the phone still thinks its up to your face on a call.

This should fix it up, search the thread for calibration and you will find even more help

cheers mate

i keep stock kernel but the battery drain so much when using 3g and gps for google map, 30min loss 80% battery. and battery does not show right number ( 70% get reboot, after reboot get low battery notice and battery show 10%.)

any idea? :crying:

Is it worth upgrading from 17/07/2014 to the latest? I saw a changelog but wondering if there is any new stuff or improvements. I have no issues right now, that's why I am asking. Should I wait for L version...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] richard-droid:
I have a brand new Plantronics Voyager Legend bluetooth headset. Calls are stuttering. Music seems more smooth.

Profile in KT is Ondemand, and Screen off profile is also Ondemand. There is a "Bluetooth Profile Mhz" set to "Selected Scaling Min" - should I touch this?

Is it only the Kernel that affects Bluetooth? Or is the Baseband/Modem relevant as well?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Not seen this to be a problem with Ondemand, only ktoonservativeq.

You could try setting the governor to ktoonservativeq, then set the following:

disable_hotplug_bt=1

disable_hotplug_media=1

If this still fails, then its certainly worth upping the BT Mhz

If still fails, search the KT thread for a profile by luigibull23 called KT v6 mod
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] richard-droid:
Hi, and thanks. I tried setting the governor to ktoonservativeq, then set the following:

disable_hotplug_bt=1

disable_hotplug_media=1

Still sutters in call. How would you recommend setting the BT Mhz? It goes from 81Mhz to 2322 Mhz.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
also try setting super_conservative=0

try 378Mhz to start then start upping it. I wouldnt go higher than 810 tho.

And don't forget to also try that profile I mentioned
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] richard-droid:
OK, I just tried the Headset on my co-workes Xperia Z and there was no stuttering, just a loss of quality at 10 metres and further. So the error is my phone. I'll try upping the BT Mhz and then try the profile you mentioned.

Thanks.

I tried his profile, the stutter is minimal but not gone. Pretty big improvement. Question: Is this error remedied in official Samsung Touchwiz firmware?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Murthick:
Any new additions or improvements are in the change log. If you see a change or improvement in there that you would like to have then upgrade to it. Android L could be a while away until it's stable for the I9505 so you may as well upgrade.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] richard-droid:
I now updated to the latest version of this rom.

When flashing KT-kernel the phone won't boot. Wipe and flash rom again, with stock kernel, the phone boots but can't get LTE. Modem: I9505XXUFNA1 which worked fine with the second to newest version.

edit: Got LTE to work. Flashed in Alucard kernel.

Problem with Bluetooth persists: It's stuttering no matter what. I tried stock TouchWiz JellyBean which I have as a back-up. There the BT worked fine, so I know there's something wrong with doing custom roms/kernels.

The stuttering is minimal when having the phone on the table or in my pocket while sitting in the car, and minimal stuttering is OK for me. But when I have the earpiece in my left ear and my phone in my right pants-pocket the stuttering is horrible. Only when walking/standing and the phone is in my pocket. When sitting down and the phone is in the very same pocket on the very same pants it works fine, with minimal stuttering. As soon as I stand up and walk there's horrible stuttering.

It's wierd.

Anyone having issues with MMS and battery? I'm on the latest build with Alucard v2.0 kernel, and my battery is sketchy to say the least. I've done about 4.5 hours on battery with 1h 10min of screen on time, and i am down to 65%. I'm using stock values for the kernel settings, greenify, wifi connected all the time (not using intelli3g, wasn't making much difference).

I have an i9505 on AT&T, modem i9505XXUGNG8 and I have trouble getting mms to work. I've checked and resetted my APNs, tried using different messaging apps (stock messaging, Textra and QKsms) but I cannot receive mms at all. This is what is compelling me to go back to a samsung based rom cause sms and mms is never an issue on those roms
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
I have a post on AT&T forums and no one is reporting any issues like this, perhaps you should stick with the stock kernel and try that, you're phone just may not agree with Alucard
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] diwakarchopra:
I don't think this makes sense but I get really ****ty battery life when I use my phone in the US. I bought the i9505 unlocked in France, it seems to work well in Europe, even India too but the moment I start using the US networks my battery life goes to the dogs. No matter what kernel I use: KT, Alucard, or maybe even stock GE, I just can't get to the root of this.

As far my mms go, any way to fix this? I don't wanna go back to samsuck's stock roms :(

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] youngwake:
Thanks for the response I will check it out. But I have seen this done on GE 4.2.2. You are right about ASOP but I thought this particular GE was based on Sammy TW framework. Again this is all speculation. I'm trying the camera you recommended, thanks!

Hi there. Nice work.

In the previous version, there was a bug when trying to display the number dialer directly after opening the telephone application.

I was hoping it would be corrected in the next, but to no avail :(

The bug is systematic. When I open the phone application and tap the dial icon, the screen doesn't display the dialer. I have to hit the back button and the dial icon again for the dial numbers to appear.

Whether it's the pure pure or the customised edition, the same issue is there.

I'm on an international i9505.

Does anyone else have this same issue?

So do you know what happens to calls that are blocked? Does the caller get diverted to answerphone perhaps, or do they get some sort of "number unobtainable" tone?

I just don't want useless answerphone messages building up :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] opticus44:
Ehm, all i know is that nothing shows up on my phone when they get blocked, other apps I've tried use some kind of automated "answer\hang up" thingy, this one doesnt. Its like it never reaches the phone.

It also has call blocking history (this can be disabled).

No you won't have any problems. It doesn't matter which bootloader you have, just make sure to update your GSM modem to anything above XXUFNA1. It depends on the kernel whether you can use F2FS.

Remember that kernel stuff is highly individual from place to place, i'm from Norway and have the intl. version i9505, I just finished testing 3 kernels.

Stock: Lots of RR (as presumed).

KT: Great kernel, but I think it suffered some battery drain on my phone.

Googy: The best one for me so far (is it discontinued?)

Alucard: Have had a lot of FC's the past couple of days, great battery life.

Personally I never had single RR with the stock kernel, but turning on/off Wifi gave me freezes randomly. Might be because I am using old bootloader, but who knows.
