hi,

so, i did not know that master [MENTION=3443334]MattBooth[/MENTION] started working on his ROM again (made the mistake of not crediting him once, won't do it again).

my one big problem with this ROM back when i used was that alucard kernel had this big sleep drain. since the JDC team formed, figured the boss man would work on his kernel, and so he did.

so i flashed and have been using it for 3 days.

i have some observations, you can take these as bug reports, or simply tell me to f**k off.

but i'd like to try and contribute to making the ROM better. even if it's just as plain user.

1. alucard no longer drains battery - thank you Lord in Heaven! also [MENTION=4899086]alucard_24[/MENTION].

2. sadly, GPE is less snappier than it was with the first alucard kernel. it now lags sometimes.. no biggie, i can more than live with it!

3. sound problem... so i had the GPE build 03.03. that was the last once where sound was normal. i tried the next build after that, but reverted to 0303 because volume was lower. on headphones and bluetooth.

the last release has the same problem. volume too low :( for example, car stereo, set volume to 12. that is loud enough. on the 0303 GPE, AND the last optimised build by antares. with the current build of GPE i need to go up to 16 to get to that acceptable volume. don't tell me there's a setting in alucard kernel, i kno that, settings are the same on 0303 GPE, as well as Optimsed, and of course this build too. i did not change them. so that is not it. again 0303 build of GPE DID NOT have this. there any chance this can be reverted to like it was back then??

4. bluetooth audio. again. streaming music, i get these random pauses, little stutters. same phone, but with Optimised build, this is a no issue. on GPE, each time i change track i get 2 stutters (every damn time, 2 no more, no less) and then randomly during playback :( i suppose you can't increase buffer for the BT stack like CM & optimised did? would there be a way around this? i tried changing min freq in alucard, but the stutters seemed to go away when i hit 810. that is a tad high for every day living. could alucard implement something like a min frequency when BT audio is playing?

5. so i use CPU temp. i use the overlay for temperature. fun fact, when i turn screen on, first overlay shows up, on a pitch black screen, then the lockscreen. this does not happen on optimised. possible problem??

that's about it so far. if anybody has any ideas, please reply, i'll try out.

sorry guys but i still have gps problem, It does not detect the position. Do you have any solutions?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
The devices aren't identical. The SOC itself is different between I9500 and I 9505. You'll need to search in I9500 thread for compatible ROM. AFAIK there isn't any GPE ROM available for I9500.

Bug report

[MENTION=3443334]MattBooth[/MENTION] as you can see in the attached screenshot, the back button of the navbar is significantly larger than the other two buttons when the height of the navbar is set to less than the default value. This has been the case since the first release of this ROM on Lollipop and maybe on Kitkat too but I can't confirm the latter. It is fixable, isn't it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] LDme:
no, while charging when os is booted - charges shows, but phone is not charging. while im in recovery or phone is turnet off - it charges.

already changed kernel to Googy-Max - same problem
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kadeve:
Sorry if someone already asked but its a mess around here the whole topic is out of control since the last patch which basicly KILLED the phone..

WHERE THE HELL IS THE PERFORMANCE in settings ? How am i supposed to set a different cpu governor its slow as f*ck and keeps freezing
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] neptune_:
You can install something like STweaks or Kernel Adiutor for that.

STweaks was removed from recent build.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Liam0o:
If you harm your phone that's on you pal, nobody here is responsible for what you do with your phone, Matt forgot to put stweaks in to the latest build but that's it, whatever is happening to your phone you need to sort out yourself, get betterbatterystats and see what is hogging your battery and sort it

Developers do this in their free time and don't get paid, people are reporting a bit of battery drainage, most are happy to just use googy max or hulk for now until development happens, be more productive and helpful when you post and you're far more likely to get help

After the last OTA, I am now seeing this as well. No pattern. I can be opening an app, or closing an app, Haven't seen it yet with Bluetooth.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] -Ric-:
While it is true that Alucard's GPE kernel is not as good and stable as his AOSP kernels and has some nasty issues you are way out of line... Alucard is a great dev who has contributed alot to the community and deserves respect. Is the kernel working great? No. Do you have to be an asshole about it? No, just download another kernel and flash it.

Had this problem once. It was my charging port that was faulty. I had to have it repaired. I bought the part on eBay, and changed it myself.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kadeve:
Sorry Matt, I never meant disrespect to you or your work.

As I said I appriciate the stuff you have done here but your recent decisions affected so much people and I am pretty sure you will stop using alucard after all. Why is all this setback? Android is all about custom software and you just removed the installer with lots of options in it and somehow choose the least feasible kernel. Once you have this many download your responsibility to people becomes larger, everything you do matters more. How would you feel If someones house burns down just because that alucard kernel was causing phones to overheat ( where i live the daytime temperature is 50 celcius or 122 fahrenheit ) I do understand that I am taking a risk in first place by using custom OS but think about it. 1 day you change the kernel to something doesnt even support IR blaster, causes battery drains and overheating...Thats not what your ROM does...For forum junkies here it must be really easy to change kernel install additional stuff etc. but some of us dont have that much time to learn all that stuff.

Hi,

first of all, let me thank you for this amazing rom! I'm not sure the issue I'm having is rom- or lollipop-related, but I hope someone here can help me: Whenever I install this rom, my contacts are randomly merged together. It seems like there are always different contacts affected and I cannot find any similarity between merged contacts. There are male and female contacts with different birthdays and completely different names merged together. If I search for one of these contacts in the contacts app, it doesn't appear in the search results but the one it is merged to is shown. When I choose edit, the contacts are shown as two contacts and I can choose split them and everything is fine. I did this some times now but it's very annoying having to go through all contacts after every update to find merged ones. If I open the contacts in a web browser everything is ok and I never had problems like that with android 4.x. Any idea what could be the reason for this behaviour?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] croldan72:
For the 6/21 update, the notes mentioned immediately booting to recovery to fix an issue with disabling button. Is this automatic or is there an actual file for this?

I know that I didn't do this step and wasn't sure if it contributed to an issue I'm experiencing. I have a problem in which my home button is disabled whenever I'm using my phone in the car. So whenever I'm charging my phone the car (connected to the Car's bluetooth), I have tasker perform a number of steps, like start up Waze, Dash and either Audible or Pandora. I also have an overlay running a widget for either Audible or Pandora. It's at that point that the home button doesn't work.

Disconnecting the power prompts tasker to close all of these items and then I seem to be able to use the home button again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Dmitrylo:
I think your problem isn't kernel-related. I've tried various kernels and Allucard is the best - for my devise. With Hulk I had random reboots.

I had drain problems also - the real cause was mobile radio. Try to dig in this direction.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Rhoban:
Why do people complain about alucard being the default kernel? It's provides the best performance of all. Only problem is the battery drain.

Leaving that aside, you could flash another kernel very simple. Just download the kernel (hulk or googy) from their threads and flash them. Is it that hard?

They removed the aroma installer for a reason. It's probably easier for them that way. But that doesn't mean you lost the aroma options.

Just download everything from the addons section on their website or the OTA app and keep it on your sd card for future flashing.

I have all addons and kernels for this rom on my SD card. So I'll just flash everything after the rom. The aroma installer did pretty much the same crap. Use the "multiple zip" flashing capability of TWRP and select all zips you want to flash. It will be pretty much aroma-like.

Stop complaining about some meaningless stuff. It's not like they took the kernels or the customizability away. You can still use any kernel you want, you're not stuck with alucard. You can still change the default gallery and camera, or the music player. Just download the zips.

[MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] maybe add "(Optional) Flash a different kernel" to the rom install instructions and link to the kernel threads. As it seems that some people don't know or don't realize they can do this..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wingchundub:
First of all, to the numpty bad mouthing YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE ANYTHING THESE GOOD PEOPLE CREATE simple!

Secondly, i have had issues with bad battery drain in the latest version as it installs the alucard kernel as standard, i am getting approx a day or less from battery, which i never had in for example first version of rom.

BUT (And this is for the lazy, or one's of whom like to post insults) do what i do, read thread, you see HULK is mentioned, i reinstalled 1.3.1.

Then i see STWEAKS is no longer supplied with rom, guess what i did? I SEARCHED and now installed and i will test over next few days and see if any changes for the better.

No one makes you do these thing's to your phone do they?

NO

To actually have other good people use their spare time in creating items like this i.e. rom, kernels and tweak etc, these are made to save us money FACT.

As if roms etc did not exist, you'd say your phone is slow, not running latest OS, therefore you sell and buy and newer model YES?

I love my S4, and to have it operate other newer roms, run smooth and basically do the things the newer models do without financial cost is a massive plus.

Anyway, i will keep eye on mine after the changes mentioned above.

I have tried numerous rom's and come back to this one i admit on 3 occasion's, due to the fact, it is a damn good rom and works well.

If any issues, be polite and mention them, or read and see if already been posted, please do not attack or insult the creator.

Best wishes
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Rhoban:
You can also extract the stweaks app from the kernel zips. All (Hulk, Alucard and Googy) stweaks work with each kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Or even restore it through TB (app only)

And for what it's worth regarding this kernel debate, each to their own.

Try until you find the one that works best for you.

For my device, Googy 1.3.0 works best, but I stress, this is MY DEVICE.

This doesn't detract from Alucard's work whatsoever, as he is a great kernel dev that contributes immensely to this community.

People such as this, as well as Dan and Matt should be appreciated for all the work and time they give to this community for FREE, and not be slated. If decisions are made that you don't agree with, there are ways to put your points across respectfully.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] KennyG123:
Thread cleaned

If you do not know how to make a backup or restore your phone to stock, or a previous condition

You should not be flashing anything!

If you do not like a person's work or features then move on

If you disrespect people and their work you will not last long on XDA

As mentioned MANY times here and throughout the forums

DEVELOPERS DO THIS FOR FREE

And at GREAT cost to their personal time and family life

If you just want to ***** about the work, go to G+

If you want to help development on this development site then post proper bug reports

Meaning clean flash, no restore of anything, check for bug, if exists pull logcat and send to developer

Developers make these things for themselves and choose to share and support them

You should support them for their choices. Want your own choices? Learn to build your own

Thank you for your cooperation

Cleaning my own comments as they are unnecessary...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] misha0209:
oh god, have been away for 1 day and all hell broke loose here :P

had the worst luck some time ago with the optimised build, i posted questions just when the boss man's pc died :P i ended up getting my answers eventually, thanks to [MENTION=5464206]AntaresOne[/MENTION] and crew, but it was 1 month after.. now this happens here, i sure can pick 'em

so, i'm gonna repost. original post is:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61609169&postcount=20576

doesn't matter that much what i wrote there, the biggest problems are:

bluetooth audio volume - any users of the old 0303 release? sound was louder back then. no messing around in kernel settings.

i tried the first build after that, and now the latest build here. both clean flash, both lower volume. anybody have a fix? that doesn't involve, change kernel settings?

and BT audio again - i get these random stutters on car stereo. also, each time i change track i get 2 stutters at the beginning of the track.

the optimised build fixed that, but they have source. any way you could fix this? [MENTION=3443334]MattBooth[/MENTION]?

is there anything i can do? i tried upping the min sleep freq, the stutters seem™ to go away when i set min freq to 810 for sleep. but that messes up my deep sleep battery...

thanks for reading, hope somebody has experience with these things, i'd hate to have to read 1000 or so pages :P
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Nothing bluetooth related in the ROM changed ever, let alone since 0303 I'm afraid. I think Dan played with AwesomePlayer settings early on, long before March.

And I can't take much form the optimised build. It's built from source and it's not often you can cut and paste a whole file :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] misha0209:
thank you for the kind answer... was afraid you'd say that :(

something i remember, but need to check. in the 0303 build, the aroma installer would give you an option to flash sound processing (musicFX, cyanogen's or viper - could be wrong about this one-) it would also have an option to install NO PROCESSING. i use to pick no processing. don't remember if the build after the 0303 still had this. could this be the issue? is there something i could flash to get the purest, shortest, unprocessed sound path??

also, having listened to headphones today, i can say that even on headphones, sound is lower than on the optimised build! and of course, from memory, the 0303 release.

i think you fixed the GPS - had problem with GPS not working after coming back to this ROM from optimised. but i think i restored and optimised backup, then clean installed your last release and it worked. will roll back to optimised build to confirm, but i well remember where my volume bar would sit. middle on optimised. today i had to go 3/4 to get same volume.

if you have time, humour me and flash 0303. i remember more users posted this, and Dan said the same thing, did not work on the audio. but something changed! and it is not kernel related! i remember trying googy, hulk, and alucard back then. would be terrific if you could look into it.. if you have time that is.. if not, i could try to do the flashing, and checking, but how could i provide data to you?

about the stutters, nothing you can do? is there something i can try beside playing with kernel?? and more importantly, do others have this? or is it just me?

i can confirm that while i used optimised build, the stutters were gone. 100% using same phone, and obviously, same car :P

from what i hear, this is a buffer under-run for sure. i just don't know how i can fix it...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
There is the sound options in the addons section, but AFAIK, I reset to "no processing" (I.E, stock) when I removed all the AROMA options.

For the bluetooth and kernel options. FIOPS, large read ahead and interactive help.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 4info:
I'm since a half year on Hulk kernel - without any RR.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] misha0209:
first point, good to know, thanks. so the volume is where it should be.. i'm going to restore my optimised build, if i am not wrong, and that is louder, i will flash 0303 just to confirm, and post back. audio was the strong point of this ROM for me :P and the rest of the hardware that seemed to just work as intended :P

and for BT, i had 2048 read ahead set in kernel.

i will try FIOPS. interactive, i suppose you mean the governor. i will give that a try also.

thanks!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Yeah, FIOPS I/O scheduler and interactive CPU govenor.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Dmitrylo:
Devises are slightly different. For example my i9505 don't work stably with undervolting and lower frequencies. And it doesn't like Hulk's kernels. Probably your smart has some differencies in hardware so it likes Hulk :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
we are working on an update to fix up the remaining issues with the ROM, I've talked to Matt and informed him that shipping with Googy's final 1.3 is the right thing to do, he also wants to update the GAPPS in the optional section

hang tight folks, we will address this when we get a lil free time

Awesome... I've been running one of the later builds (I think 0621) with Googy 1.3 and it's rock solid.

Usually an APN issue. Some ROMs just don't set the correct APN settings for the current SIM card, especially with little-known MVNOs
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
First of all: great from, been on here for 3 months and apart from a few minor bugs it is way better than stock. 2 questions though:

1. As some others I face the issue with the screen turning on by itself immediately after I pressed the power button to turn it off. I've searched the whole thread but no fix in sight. Any updates or is this going to be fixed? The hardware buttons being active for 2 seconds after hitting the power button seem to be the cause, so I have heard.

2. What is the most convenient method to sync my contact pictures with Facebook? Since Google doesn't do it anymore I have tried some apps from the play store but the one I used (Uber Sync) does not work anymore. Haxsync has never worked for me and I don't want to give sync.me my phone number.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bemymonkey:
Does anyone know what I should format a 64GB SDXC card as for use with this ROM (or the S4 in general)? Is there anything I should keep in mind?

I'm assuming exFAT?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
1. This isn't a ROM issue, and most likely a rogue app. It has literally never happened to me.

2. I last used UberSync. Your only option is probably Facebook at this point, given how they're removing their API from public use a lot.

exFAT yep :)
