Did some tweaks seen from some of you guys, line undervolting the cpu to 1.5ghz, And use GPU , on developer options...

Also have screen at minimum brightness, going tu use the auto network, not only GSM.

Thats what happen to me... Screen on, lose a lot battery And quickly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Losing 1 percent per 3 minutes: 100 x 3 = 300 minutes = 5 hours. A SoT of appr. 5 hours seems perfectly normal to me :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
More than normal, imho. I hey about 3h SOT
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kadeve:
ok today I restarted my phone for the first time after installing this rom.. Now I see that almost all my settings is wiped.. the apps like banking etc. remand re-activation or re-installation
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MatteoB92:
Which advantage have you noticed selecting GPU instead of CPU?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wam7:
Clean flash, using stock with no other apps installed, loudspeaker mode for the dialer also mutes the mircrophone so other party can not hear anything. In normal mode or bluetooth it works fine, only when using the loudspeaker in the phone dialer.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Nimueh:
This is my first ever GPE Rom ... and except for a few missing tweaks (like screenshot in power menu, RAM in recents or double tap to sleep) I love it - especially the battery life :good: :)

26 hours uptime, 2 hours screen on, 10 minutes HD playback, 8 hours airplane mode (at night). :D

I'll be using this one for a while, definitely beats CM12 ... and maybe some of those tweaks will happen in the future too :fingers-crossed:

I have a picture in my wallpaper, and use nova launcher.

I have noticed that, sometimes, out of nowhere, the wallpaper zooms in. (in my case, the picture stays bigger, and part of it is cut off).

After i reboot, it goes back to normal.

Always used nova launcher, and never had this on other lollipop roms.

Anyways, this is a minor issue, and will not stop me from using this AMAZING ROM!

Cant wait for the next promised update! hope it is coming soon!

Thanks devs!

This is Nova bug, I had this happen on KitKat.

Is there a way to use "Pin unlock" just by writing the code without pressing "ok" ? I've seen this feature on cm12. TIA

It isn't there, at least not now.

Pin Unlock without OK

Thank You.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] exxi:
The biggest flaw on this rom is that it slows down after a few days of use without installing additional apps.

All app launches become slower and even the keyboard becomes laggy.

I can't really find a reasonable explanation for what's happening.

Aside from that, it's rock stable and has very many positive aspects about it.

Hope the next release will fix the slowdown
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dirkdigles:
Does stock GPE rom do this? I've noticed this too - much snappier after a reboot. Perhaps related to the memory leak bug in lollipop?

EDIT: saw this posted a few posts up

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] exxi:
Interesting, how do you install without swap partition?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dirkdigles:
when you flash the rom, it's an option in the AROMA installer

Do you have ZRAM enabled in STweaks? You could try enabling or re-flash and choose a larger swap. Or test without a swap file at all.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Nath5:
I had a similar problem and turning off swap fixed it. No more slow downs!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dirkdigles:
I wonder if enlarging the swap would fix it as well.

Do you use zram?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TheDude:
You can just delete (or move to sdcard) /system/etc/init.d/01HARDSWAP file and reboot. init.d will not set the swap on boot anymore. Make sure zram is enabled and set to something acceptable first in STweaks. Then you can delete /cache/Swapfile.swp (after reboot) to free up the space originally allocated to the swapfile.

Want to re-enable it, just move the 01HARDSWAP file back to /system/etc/init.d/ and make sure the permissions are correct.

Want to change the swapfile size? The swapfile size is set in /system/jflte-gpe/swap_enabled . Just edit that and change the swap size to your preference. In order for this to take affect you must reboot into recovery and wipe your cache. This will delete the current swap and it will be automatically recreated on system boot with the newly set size in swap_enabled. The swap can not be altered while it is enabled and in use by the system.

This is better and faster then re-flashing the rom in my opinion.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Nath5:
Good info! I was updating anyway so re flashing wasn't a problem. I do have zram so I think I will stick with just that.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TheDude:
I run with zram only and no swap. I could be wrong but my logic is that a swap file is written to a LOT. Being that the swap is set to the internal SD makes me a bit nervous as it can not be replaced in the event of a failure. NAND only has so many write cycles and then it will eventually fail. Changing the script a bit and mounting the swap to the external sd would be a safer approach as it can be cheaply replaced in the event of a failure. I would also think if you were sporting a class 10 external sd there would be a performance increase (although I do not know the classification of the internal NAND so this is just an assumption and it would be a minor boost at that.) That is just my thoughts on the matter.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Good call :good:

I would also wipe the cache partition too, as the ROM's swap is held in /cache

(not sure where ZRAM is held tho?)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Geordie Boyo:
Just a minor thing that is bugging me..

I've clean wiped the latest version of this rom to my S4.

When i try to select a "profile pic" as my User so its shows on the top right of the screen on the lockscreen, etc it will allow me to select a pic from my gallery but does not show the image.

Anyone else experiencing this and is there a fix?

Cheers.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] [opensys]:
Today is time to flash KK roms, I flash like 7 AOSP roms and this rom is my choice :)

I just just flash your rom because is google version and have inverted app's. I also put market in inverted (you may misses that).

I don't like white backgrounds, waste of battery, so this rom is great.

At the moment I only see problems on notification led:

On charging the led stays always red, and if the comes to 100% also stays red :(

In my opinion < 79% is red, >= 80% must stay orange, then at 100% green.

Correction: after a reboot it get's green, something messes around...

On missed calls the led don't blink blue, but in sms messages it works fine.

Continue the good work.

thanks for the wonderfull rom. with this rom i can boot fast and normal, i had some problem with other roms.

can i delete ktweak? i dont want to tweak anything.

can i download the original launcher anywhere?

White dialer

Hi Danvdh

I would love the white dialer, white contacts and MMS, easier to read in bright light I find. Would be great if you could make a flashable zip file for these, thanks in advance.

Just like to say thanks a million for an awesome ROM, love it, no complaints. Everything works beautifully.

I already downloaded and installed the I9505XXUFNA1 modem from the TW 4.4.2, I'm on the old bootloader. Flashed via Odin 3.07 and WiFi/Network is working perfectly fine with this ROM, both feels faster!

How's your reception, is the signal stronger. Is your LTE working. I am wondering if I should give it a go
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
Well I've never had issus with signal with older modems, calls work perfectly fine, good signal and wifi works flawlessly, if you are on the old bootloader give it a go, you can always downgrade anyway

Hi danvdh

I tried flashing that stock dialer, but get the error flashing zip..........updating partition details....

So i wiped dalvik and cache and tried again, still same error. I checked the md5 and that is OK, so I am not sure where to go from here? Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

10 download and only this 1 report

just verified the zip is in tact and the updater script is perfectly fine?

edit, you are right, AFH is giving multiple bad downloads today
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Allan4kiting:
Thanks , I have tried 3 times no luck. Will maybe start from scratch and do clean install again and see if that works. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
Actually I downloaded it from the OP link in Jamals ROM, it's working for them and since it is a GE rom it has to work for this, also modems never had particular issues with rom versions.

The file is the bin file inside a tar file for odin, I guess is only for old bootloader but I'm not sure

Erm ... the one that popped up :laugh:

When I flashed the Rom I selected to install that OnePlus Camera, so I'm guessing it also controls the Gallery that's installed ... not sure though :confused:

The Gallery has an orange icon ... if that helps any :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
That's what I would think but I've never been entirely sure, as for me, disabling 700Mb of ZRAM only frees up 100Mb of RAM in the running apps screen (Goes from 1.1 Gb free to 1.2 Gb free)

I enabled in google+ to control contacts which then showed up my google+ profile pic, which is what i wanted anyway. I didnt realise i had this option disabled.

Okay, I'm getting a weird network drop from the past few days.

It never happened, I didn't even flash any modems or anything.

I get a notification saying "restricted access. data access is blocked" or something, I didn't get to screensnap it or take a log. So Idk what to do here?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Nimueh:
I didn't even know we had that option :laugh:

I'm glad you got it sorted though :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] maciejk-pl:
Care to guide us to that option? I can't seem to find it. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Instead of removing the hardswap, just change swappiness to 40, rather than 60. I noticed the swap file filing up quickly while it was at 60, not at 40 it tends to use about 50% of it.

Having it on the internal flash is not a problem, at all. Flash memory lasts a good while, and the cache partition is constantly being written to . Maybe in 4-5 years you'll no longer want the swap on the cache, but still.

Anyway, unfortunately, GoogyMax sets the default swappiness to 60, and my experiments with changing the defaults in AROMA have not been a total success.

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

I think that settings just says that ZRAM can use up-to 700MB of RAM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Going to quickly flash the latest Github build now. Nothing much changed this week. All currently enabled features are working well. If it's ok (and I'll know quickly) I'll upload the ROM now while I'm at University.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] petrus764:
How about if we're gonna use the stock kernel? Does it support swap at all?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
It doesn't support swap at all, no. The option to install hardswap is not available if you pick the stock kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cantenna:
I completely agree. My extsd is faster than internal memory. I use link2sd and have moved nearly all apps to extsd and I do feel a slight improvement in speed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] petrus764:
Mk, good to know. Thanks.

I'm sorry but that is not true. Internal memory is way WAY faster than a simple SD card. Whether it's class 4, class 10 or UHS doesn't matter, it's still an SD card. Internal memory is way faster.

The S4 actually has pretty decent nand http://www.anandtech.com/show/6914/samsung-galaxy-s-4-review/6

For comparison http://www.jayceooi.com/galaxy-s4-storage-speed-internal-nand-vs-external-sd-card/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Yeah, my read speeds on my internal flash are ~100MB/s, on my class 10 sdcard, 30MB/s. Write speeds on my class 10 are, unsurprisingly, 10MB/s, internal flash, 30MB/s.

EDIT:

Yep, that second link there. Same app I used to measure. Similar results. There's a reason that apps2sd was dropped a while back, when NAND performance was no longer in line with sdcard performance. Not saying this is the only reason, but it's a reason.

[MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION], i had annother idea to increment this ROM.

This app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stevenschoen.emojiswitcher) is able to switch the Emoji of the whole ROM, just by replacing /system/fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf

It has options to use iOS, Samgung, KitKat, Lollipop and LG emojis. I think it could be a nice addition to the AROMA options. And it is fairly easy to implement.

It is not something essential, but is something nice and a very unique feature that this AMAZING rom would have.

=D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Seems pointless if that app does it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] yurividal:
Yes. I use the app to do it. But also, Adaway would be pointless... but ok... I just thought it could be something unique that almost no ROM has, and would be easy to implement in AROMA...

But the ROM is yours! hehehe

i use the app, and i am VERY happy with your ROM.

Thank you once again!

Cant wait for next update =D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mutant13:
I'm on Sprint(L-720) in the US and I did the International SIM unlock then the Domestic SIM unlock took my phone into T-Mobile asked if they had a SIM card so I could test to see if I was unlocked. They put the card in and it showed T-Mobile in the APN list immediately and the guy made a call to the store and it worked perfectly... My point is this ROM has given me a pain free unlocked phone.... so thanks again !!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TheDude:
Adaway is far from pointless... You can not install is from the play store as it blocks virtually every ad and google has banned it. Most users are not even aware the app exists and if you are it must be downloaded from a website or 3rd party app store. It is the FIRST app I run on a new install to prevent ads from ever being cached. Its a jewel. Sure a pre-populated host file could be implement into the rom in place of adaway but that would require devs to update it and why do that when the adaway team has already gone through the trouble to code a wonderful app that pulls sources from multiple lists? Having said that, how many more options do people really want to go through in the Aroma installer...?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] droid_1989:
Even without ad-away I used ad-free, I think because on 4.4.4 or previous versions of the app, ad-away would leave a notification on the bar, which I didn't like, ad-free imo is better, but I just use ad-away because it's built into the rom.

If I had the time, I wouldn't need any of this, I wanted to set my raspberry Pi as a network ad blocker.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TheDude:
I have no idea what notification you are talking about from adaway, I have never seen one unless there is an available update. I download the updated hosts and disable adaway from startup in Appops and manually check it from time to time. Last time I tested adfree it started a proxy process that relayed all traffic back through the device to filter ads which is far from optimal. That could have changed but if it has not, what a waste of resources. To each their own.

The Pi is a cool device but I would not want rely on all my network traffic passing through it. You could achieve the same thing with a router running dd-wrt. The only catch is that ads would only be blocked on wifi within that network. What about when you are on mobile data or someone else' network that does not filter ad traffic? Your device will cache those crappy ads... Just some things to think about ;)

EDIT

I forgot to mention that Adaway is open source, free, and constantly updated here https://github.com/dschuermann/ad-away . That is a big plus in my book for any application that I use.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] yurividal:
i know how good adaway is. I also love it, and it is my first app that i install.

The two "optimised" CM builds for the S4? They seem more like bastardised CM to me. I've tried the nightlies for CM12 and they're vastly different to those. Some apks are simply missing from the optimised ones.
