Hey [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION]

I'm back on GPE now, checking out 4.4.3 after running CM for months. As I've grown rather fond of CM I was wondering if you could incorporate two changes into GPE.

1. The GPE drivers are way old, listed as v53, as you may know Qualcomm releases drivers to devs on a frequent basis. CM usually updates to these drivers and I feel they work better. Not that GPE isn't smooth, but I do feel that there are more frequent glitches, especially in Chrome where Qualcomm has released lots of fixes in their updated drivers. The drivers are for all Adreno 3xx chipsets. If I've understood correctly, touchwiz and thus GPE does not store the drivers in the same place, so we can't just manually flash the drivers from recovery.

I think such a move would put this rom not only in a greater lead in front over other GPE roms for the i9505, but also ahead of samsung whom continues to include these old drivers for the GPE version.

For more information, http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/gpu-drivers-nexus-5-compatible-android-t2629123, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2754476 and https://developer.qualcomm.com/mobi...le-gaming-graphics-adreno/tools-and-resources

Also, as you may know, in CM you can easily change the menu button function, I use it as recent apps and long pressing to get to menus for legacy apps. Same as the behaviour on the S5 and I suspect many others using the button for that aswell. Would it be possible for you to make a flashable zip to get this functionality so that those of us who does not know how to do this manually don't have to install xposed? I'm currently using menubegone, but that again prevents me from using ART. I have no idea how difficult it would be to make such a zip, but if it is fairly straightforward it would me much appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Psycho Pufo:
I also use that option in CM. Not sure if it possible to do with xposed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] petrus764:
As I said, it is possible, but I'd like to keep xposed out of the equation.

Also, I just ran cd /system/vendor/lib/egl && strings libEGL* | grep Date to check the current GPU drivers that is bundled in this ROM and they're from 11/07/13, meaning they're almost a year old. That's pretty bad, even the Nexus 5 has drivers from last fall. Stock touchwiz has drivers from january if I'm not mistaken. I guess it's another example of Samsung not caring about the GPE version, along with HDR bugs and other crap for us figure out of.

I'd really appreciate it if these drivers can be updated to the current version from 5/30/14. It could very well be a small hint of OCD, but I really do like to keep things up to date. Especially when it comes to drivers and such.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
they cannot be implemented in a close source ROM as far as I know, other code is required to make them work
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] petrus764:
Aw, that sucks. Oh well, thanks anyway! Keep up the good work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mooyaart:
I had the same problem. I tried quite a few modems but to no avail.

Danvdh doesn't reckon any changes were made that would affect signal.

It has only affected a very small number of users from what I can tell (on this forum).

I switched to Danvdh's CM rom and haven't had any signal problems since. I now prefer his CM rom anyway. I highly recommend it.

Am currently on CM rom with latest bootloader, modem NE8, ART and F2FS on all 3 partitions. Very happy! :)

Hello,

I need to root my I9505 to flash Pure Nexus build? i tried and got this error "footer is wrong" "Signature verification faliled".

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] -sandro-:
Dan you said your phone never gets hot? Can you check for instance the CPU you get when you browse the web and tapatalk for 10 minutes? I find it impossibile you don't reach 50°C. You try the app cpu info that also enables you to see the temp in overlay in real time.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Murthick:
No, you don't need to be rooted to install the Pure Nexus build. You just need to install a custom recovery. I'd recommend either Philz Recovery ( http://goo.gl/9tpPMu ) or TWRP ( http://goo.gl/oo67wA)

Install one of the recoveries and flash the ROM Zip
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Snaydher:
Nice!!

Thanks guys, i came from GS3 CM11 so i loved this ROM...

BTW which camera is better in AOSP ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kraven0731:
This ROM is smooth and no RR for 24 hours. Only got FC on Titanium backup when I changed to ART but it was fixed when I downloaded the new version of TB. However, I missed the wanam xposed or gravitybox since they don't work in ART. Is there a way to show the time AM/PM in status bar without wanam xposed or gravitybox?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] maurocds:
just wanted to say that i had RR

one time using the new google camera included 2.2, making panoramas, taking pics, vids, etc, i guess cell phone was overload

the other RR i cant remember what i was doing

and yes, clean flash, using ART, etc

also battery is a little crap for me, even using greenify with tons of apps,

another issue is with hangouts, i have no notification icon when an sms arrives

that aside, awesome
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mooyaart:
I haven't tried any other kernels as I stick religiously to KToonsez. I'm not sure it would make any difference as I don't think the kernel affects/control mobile signal in any way. I have a hunch it is something to do with 4.4.3 itself and that it only affects people on certain networks.

P.s. I had no signal problems with Danvdh's 4.4.2, so you could always try that version
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ooohhh2:
I had huge heat issues, then i tried Googy and Alucard kernel. Both fixed the heat problems.

Just a short feedback on battery consumption in this rom: I'm getting 3,5 to 4h screentime which is amazing (and was absolutely impossible on 4.3).

Max. brightness, WiFi always on, no greenify or UV.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] -sandro-:
On 4.3 i used to get 5h on wifi, sometimes even 6. On 4.4 haven't checked yet
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] E_Cartman:
As almost all the other users I couldn't get nearly as much screentime with 4.3 as I got with 4.2 before.

6h screentime... lucky you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] -sandro-:
6h is the maximum, but 5h is easy

very possible, all phones handle kernels differently

also mates, this http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/63424/5/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml has been tested by me and provides much better autobrightness

expect an update later today with this merged into google edition, will help battery life a great deal :) as you can see here, it's well tested by the guys at CM, they have been working on perfecting autobrightness for well over a month now for this device, I'm very happy with the results of these changes

special thanks to [MENTION=4272718]hawkerpaul[/MENTION] for pointing this out to me
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
I've never had these heat issues on any kernel (KT included) on any of Dan's ROMs

As it's looking likely that the finger of suspicion is pointing to KT's 06/09/14 build, then perhaps this discussion should be taken over to KT's development thread

It would also be a good idea to supply him with some additional information which might help him track the problem down, such as Bootloader version, GSM Modem version and LTE Modem version to see if there is any sort of pattern emerging, as well as describing when the problem occurs etc.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mooyaart:
Sounds great. Any chance you could also update your CM rom with it? Many thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
There's been loads of CM commits since the last CM release.

Dan's going to do a fortnightly release of the CM ROM and cherry-pick the best commits, and I've no doubt whatsoever that this commit will be in his next CM release.

btw, i'm also using Philz recovery, no problem here.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] annalein:
Yup, I tried it with WinRar, worked like a charm. The bad thing is, i can't open my backup now. And (if I am right) i cant transform this rom to a flashable odin one right? Downloading a stockrom, so I hope I can flash that one via odin -.- ...(my phone is not booting.., just having the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen).

//EDIT

After this complete new install from a stock rom, it seems to work :). So I think it was my fault or actually a system problem. Thanks again guys.

you can resign the rom to enable toggle2g in 4.4.2 which works almost perfectly. i don't know if it still works with 4.4.3 but it should. the problem is, when you change from 3g to 2g(i think. might be the other way around) you lose signal completely for a short time in ge. even your phone signal. you don't want to risk tasker toggeling your data connection while you're talking on your phone. at least i didn't want to. so i stopped resigning the zips...

for toggle2g theres a plugin for tasker.
