Screen lock

When i lock the screen with power button and then within 2 seconds touch back or menu key, screen goes on again. Its annoying as sometimes my phone gets waked up after sliding it in my pocket and starts making calls or opening random apps when walking or sitting.

Clean install, of course. Finally i found whats the reason why screen randomly turns on after locking it. It was making me feel bad for a month or so.

Mby you guys can fix this in next release. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Blackbird256:
Actually we discussed this in other thread and I told you I have pre-Knox 4.2.2 bootloader ie. jellybean :D

I never tried that kernel before so thanks for recommendation :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] stratos_lag:
Hello, I have those results from wake lock because my battery isn't as good as I read in the posts. Can anyone tell me if its something wrong! Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
It doesn't have bad backwards compatibility, and as developer, I sincerely hope Google fixed whatever crap xposed was using so that it never comes to Lollipop.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MohamedN:
Just for your info, not always old is gold.

You don't want to try the new bootloader (which brought many improvements that could solve your problems)

You don't want to try lollipop, which is obviously way much better than KitKat.

Good for you, end of story.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] exxi:
Despite everyone here being so positive about L, for me it seems to be overall less responsive than 4.4

Here's the negative:

-Keyboard is lagging

-Starting apps is generally slower (Whatsapp, browser etc.)

- dialer takes longer to open and initiate calls

Positive:

- better battery life

- visually more appealing

I'm currently running this rom with googy 1.27 with intelliactive governor.

What's your experience?

What settings do you use to optimize performance?

Maybe it's my relatively full 30gb SD card that is causing the slowdown? Or the 40 apps that I restored with data with titanium backup?

Thanks for your input
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] stratos_lag:
I totally agree with you! I am thinking of going back to 4.4.4
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] -Ric-:
as someone who used 4.4.4 for months, never ran into any wifi issue whatsoever.

Xposed is gone, got to get used to it otherwise you will be staying on Kit Kat forever, not to mention that this rom has so many custom features (and keeps having more every update) i don't miss xposed at all. Got to adapt :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] seijisandrei:
I am totally using v4a right now. I did not experience your 'bug'
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Z-Blade:
I have no keyboard lag at all, using swiftkey. I find the starting up of apps to be more app base, some apps opens up instantly while some takes a bit longer. Dialer is definitely slow, heard that Google will fix it in 5.1. I for one is sticking with Android L, for me, the plus out weigh the minus.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Yeah, dialer is slow, and that's the ROM (and for Google to fix). WhatsApp starts slow on Lollipop? Not Lollipop's fault, is it? That's WhatsApp's fault. I use Chrome and Swiftkey, with over 150 apps installed. No lag for me.

No xposed is a bonus :) This thread has been clean of xposed issues for 2 months :D

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] seijisandrei:
Will the OTA update work as an aroma installer? So that I can customize the installation? XD excited.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] robertd0619:
Ota notification won't stop. Just an fyi. Had to disable app. Thanks good sir.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] munkyvirus:
Is the new swap set it and its fine? And does it interfere with the Zram in the kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 98Slowstang:
I seem to be having an issue with audio breakup, it is so bad to the point where I can't make phone calls because it is breaking up on both ends of the call. Any advice ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] arkson82:
yes it works as an AROMA installer, by default it gets downloaded into the 'Downloads' folder, so you'll have to locate it there when flashing.

I use TWRP 2.8.3.0 and had to manually locate it to flash it. Not sure about other recoveries.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] maximus rus:
Thank you! Have you soled the audio issue ?

I tried install new Googy kernel on previous 12's January version but it didn't help.

Have you done something to solve it ?)

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lucius1972:
Hi Dan,

Many thx to you and Kryten for the new ROM, clean install and up and running within 25 minutes. Awesome release.

Have a great day guys.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gabro:
hi folks (and thanks for this super ROM!).

I'm on 20150105 and OTA update is telling there's no update available...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] N!KE26:
The OTA is not working in your build. Download it manually and flash via recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Unnecessary, just turn off notifications in the app, and clear data

Will not interfere

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
can I dirty flash this? can you port samsung camera for me? not having slow motion recording is a deal breaker for me
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] maciejk-pl:
Any explanation on that would be much appreciated, thanks. Great work as always guys, flashing later today!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gabro:
I've just updated OTA updates apk to v2.1.1 and nothing changed. I guess I have to first update the entire rom (going straight to latest), do you confirm?

Can I dirty flash from 20141205?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] coolpix90:
it has solved the delay in the dialer app and screen mirroring on the latest build? thanks a lot
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] N!KE26:
Clean flash just the latest rom (01-23-2015) and you will be happy.:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Blackbird256:
I don't want new bootloader so I can keep my damn warranty.

I don't want Lollipop, because all my fav games FC on it and by default looks worse. Has less options and even less customization.

Opinions are opinions. It's not like I am on gingerbread lol.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andyjg247:
Audio seems a lot better to me since flashing (dirty). I had cut outs fairly regularly but now nothing! Very impressed guys, thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] trebllaw:
Finally got to updating my BL and Modems to my country's latest, as well as doing some definitely deserved cleaning of internal storage. Clean installed 1/23 and everything working as it should. Damn good ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SaturnsVoid:
Does not work

I have a VZW S4 running SS 3.72 and after installing it just go's into a boot cycle. So i guess it does not work with safestrap. Well there go's this rom for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Madaurensis:
Might it be caused by the aging of the battery, then?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] soulman77:
What's Hardware Swap? Why reccomanded setting is 512MB?

Many thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dhj49er:
Just (dirty) flashed 23-01.

Everything so far working fine.

Seems snappier & apps open tad quicker.

I set hardware swap to the recommended value. Also have left zram set to default in kernel. Would appreciate explanation of what each does & if both are needed.

Thanks for yet another fantastic ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] marcelmira:
Today I came to work by car and even using the latest build, the audio stutters (car Bluetooth). But I could see was that this only happens when I am connected to LTE network (In bad coverage). So I forced my phone to work only in WCDMA and during the rest of the way (for about 30 minutes), the audio worked completely normal.

Anyone else notice this problem when connected to LTE network?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] javitolopez69:
Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lzk123:
Swappiness is the frequency in which swap will be used. zram disk size is the amount of size allocated in the disk space to be used as virtual ram.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] vlk67:
Today I have updated from 20150105. clean install and it took 40 minutes (backup / restore including). It works great! Realy good ROM :good:

thx Danvdh, Kryten2k35, Googy_Anas
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] editable:
What backup process/app you use?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] vlk67:
titanium backup https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup

I stored my backup into sd card, I have formated internal storage - it was recomended in aroma installer
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dhj49er:
My understanding is

A virtual disk is used to avoid swapping.

So how do vram & hardware swap work together.

Also is it worth having either when the phone had 2GB ram? I thought vram is worthwhile on phones with 1GB or less of ram.

Up to and including this ROM the free memory on my phone has never dropped below 400 MB.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
If it gets used. Its worth it ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dhj49er:
When will either get used when there is plenty of free ram?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] robertd0619:
It just started going off all of a sudden. Thanks. And i didn't flash the latest yet when this happened. I never dirty flash.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dbaybay:
I absolutely love this ROM keep updating each new edition. Hope the Gear Manager gets fixed hopefully but otherwise flawless AOSP experience on SGS4!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Hardware swap is a swap file on the /cache partition. The internal storage of our phones is very fast, about 200-300MB/s.

Linux will use swap if it's available and there are many conditions for the OS putting data into swap. All of which are valid even on a phone with 1.8GB RAM. swap also differs from ZRAM also in that ZRAM uses compression and thus CPU time. ZRAM is much faster, but also occupies RAM. Both forms of swap can be used, i believe there is a bias towards ZRAM.

Here's a good explanation, but ignore the talk of disks being slow. We don't have mechanical drives in our phones. Flash storage is much quicker

http://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/8208-all-about-linux-swap-space
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dhj49er:
Thanks for the explanation. I'll check out the reference later.

I plan to check phone performance including battery life with & without the swap + vram to see what difference if makes. This will reflect how I use the phone, so not necessarily what other users would get.

WiFi problem

Hi guys, since i installed this ROM i have a problem. The phone doesn't connect to "public" WiFi network (for example at university)....it accept identity and password but doesn't connect. No problem with home WiFi. Any solution? Thanks!

PS i have last version of this ROM and of googy kernel
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Don't expect power saving or performance increases (really) it's just about efficiency.

Yes, since that is a different APK that is yet unthemed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
ART and no xposed complaints are the best things that happened to Android in a long time..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
So, so much of this post. No xposed is the best thing to happen to Android developers.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Inelukis:
The new audio player crashes just as I open it!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Chibbo:
really great work with this rom, really love it. was a big fan of cm but after using this for 3 weeks now I really don't see me returning to cm any time soon :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
Xposed made SO many roms and phones buggy AND slow as hell.

Hope it doesn't come back.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] puppynaz:
I can't find the settings for heads-up notification timer and volume-panel timer. Or is it not enabled yet?

And YES! I agree with most of you. Xposed made the ROMs really laggy. Thank God, it's gone for good. :)

I find most of the modules which I had already been ported into a separate app; like KeepChat+SnapShare is now a single app called SnapMod.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] oneheart1975:
Dirty flashed and everything is fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Aznbull:
Try to pull down the quick settings and disable LTE/3G (data), after that you have disable data then try open chrome, you should be able to use wifi.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] AllSeeyinEye:
And if we are unfortunate enough to do see it return, just add a bootscript that removes the xposed folder, apk and jars at every boot to the ROM.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] djmik21:
I would like to thank once again the devs for their awesome work. The rom works great and the feature get better and better.

I would like to ask if it's possible to add an option for not wiping anything in aroma for those who might have a change of heart in some of the options they chose and want to just reflash the rom.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Achille91:
thanks for the answer...but it doesnt work the same :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] JLopez149:
Nice update guys, downloading now! still no option to turn the charge LED on and off :( . Not a big issue but a small annoyance at night. thanks again for the stable ROM.:good:

Hey Dan and Kryten2k35

Made a Black & Gray Theme for your awesome ROM !!!!

Just giving back, this is by far the best ROM I have ever used...Keep up the good work!!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Yes!

:laugh:

Turn the phone face down?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] N!KE26:
Dan have told he dont want any 3party mods in this thread.....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mutant13:
I have not been informed, I will delete it if they request???
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] droid_1989:
To be fair, even face down I can still see the light at night - I just try and fall asleep looking away from it, doesn't bother me as much - would be useful for led control though and/or colour chooser within interface - to me that's more important than something like on screen navigation...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dirkdigles:
Can you take care of this issue with Light Manager app?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Ritvars:
I flashed 1/12 version "dirty" and everything worked perfectly. Can I "dirty" flash this one too?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] romhetman:
I dont mind that xposed is dead on lollipop, but have to admit that some of the modules were really helpful !

But i hope Kryten2k35 and Danvdh are going to implement more and more of new features and we are not going to miss anything !

The real xposed module that i miss and i hope that it will appear here (or maybe someone know any app that has this feature) its called "xclip" that module stored multiple copied text in the clipboard and when you press paste somewhere it showed the window and you could choose from the list what you want to paste !

Any suggestions ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jheysl2:
Dirty flashed latest update, everything is running great, the update included everything I needed Thanks :D

I wish I knew how to make/code things, I'd love a totally black/inverted ui, may have to look into it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] droid_1989:
Doesn't work properly, phone overrides app.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] OptiMyst:
Here's the sledgehammer approach I did to disable the charging-LED:

Decompile framework-res.apk with APKtool and change the hex-values of config_notificationsBatteryLowARGB, config_notificationsBatteryMediumARGB and config_notificationsBatteryFullARGB in the file res/values/integers.xml to 0. Then recompile framework-res.apk and replace the file in the ROM.

The battery warning message and threshold can be disabled and/or changed the similar way.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] pika456:
The problem is in Compatible Mode using it with the Poweramp's MusicFX button.

Anyway, the solution is to remove MusicFX and DSP from Rom and install Viper4Android in Priv-App
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
I don't mind, if you wanna maintain those and keep up to date. The issue was someone posting one mod, about 5,000 pages back, and then that getting flashed and causing conflicts :)

Dan can have the final whistle, I think. But I'd be interested in using one of your Messenger apks as a starting point for my own theme, to save me time :P

Thanks for this. I'll check this out this weekend and should be able to implement some custom colours, and probably turning off (even if it's just brute force setting the LED to be #00000000
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
I think I just had a breakthrough. For all the people reporting cell standby battery drain, the modem you are using might have fast dormancy enabled. I am 90% sure, but still testing. This is causing your data connection to be put to sleep when not in use. Even if the cell standby drain is present overall it is a definite battery saver so i don't reccomend turning it off..

This was part of my reason for suggesting proper CSC usage, so that proper CSC's are used.

Isn't the CSC tied to the ROM? On my T-mo M919, I'm on Bootloader & Baseband M919UVUFNK2, however PDA & CSC are I9505GUEUDNL3. Seems it would be impossible to get all 4 to match without owning an actual I9505G?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Narsil:
Same problem here with public hotspots : access granted but device waits for IP. Looks like DHCP request doesn't lead.

Disabling 3G/LTE data doesn't solve the issue, nor does a stop/start of the WIFI service. Works fine on all kind of WPA or open WIFI.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Not if:

You download this: https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiKitchen

Download an ODIN image for your carrier, which has the CSC you are interested in

Extract the cache.img.ext4 from the Odin image

Run it through the Kitchen (or, just manually run it through simg2img)

This gives you EVERYTHING that is CSC related.

Extract just the CSC folder. Look in etc/ though and make sure there arne't any apns in there or lte whitelists and use those in the ROM.

I posted a file some pages back (search) that I use for my personal flashes, which has my CSC. Use it as a template.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bartik168:
Same here:( I have no problem with Google sync, but today I made clean install of new version (20150123) and Google offer me 37 days old backup:(

IMHO the problem persist from first version of Lollipop :(

Very annoying :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] -Ric-:
it's not a rom issue, seems to happen to every phone backed up to google, aparently when the slots become full, there's no option to delete them so no new backups can be created.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bartik168:
But 37 days is too much, I understand some days, but this is much:(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mutant13:
Hey there Kryten2k35,

First off thank you.... if you want to use any of the apks themes please feel free... lollipop has been a challenge because themeing framework effects other apps(Gmail, etc...) as you know.

So with the latest update did you change anything in -Framework -SystemUI -Settings -Dialer -Contacts -Messenger?

TIA
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dirkdigles:
Thanks much - will look into this. Does this take care of the PDA not matching as well? Or is that a different process (or even necessary)?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] BakedTator:
First off...this ROM f'ing flies! Very stable! I do have 2 question though...1, can you add quick pulldown of the quick settings? And 2, can you make the tiles customizable? Or could someone give me a hand in modding the systemui and framework to do so?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
You can already quick pulldown the quick settings by dragging the status bar down with 2 fingers.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
I don't think even CyanogenMod have made the tiles customisable yet. You can quick pull down with two fingers.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Madaurensis:
Eventually I discovered that the impossibility of turning the phone on while charging might be due to the Power button: sometimes it works, sometimes it gets stuck and it makes the phone turn off.

I'm very unlucky, since my warranty expired less than a month ago. I'll see how I can get this fixed.

Therefore

I withdraw my previous bug report

for the 01-12-2015 build: the ROM is flawless. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Soufiansky:
Want to flash this rom again.

It is more stable than CM12 ? And it have some customizations ? ( specially the power menu : airplane mode , power , screenshot.. )

Thanks and great work.

I already had this rom but 2 months ago , i'm looking to came back to it :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] humungousfungusamongus:
I dirty flashed this build to see what the dpi settings would look like. Must say only thing not working is the new music controls. the new music player and audio FX controls are sweet. Clean install when I get some more time. Good work as always lads!
