It is totally opposite, CM got more stable in the last time, in general, but you are free to continue to use omni or slim, which are anyway based on CM, with the difference they stick to code base they consider stable, what is the smart decision, and everyone who wants a stable build should do the same. So no need to run slim or omni usually, just find the build which works for you.

Now which build works, is a real question sometimes, because we all use our devices a bit differently. For example I won't let viber near of my phone so I obviously won't be hit by the issue you have with it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] simonbigwave:
sorry, Viber ALWAYS works for me for ALL recent nightlies. I use it everyday. Perhaps you have done something wrong during installation?

This rom has been my daily driver for months... so very stable actually. For me, No random reboots, no FCs, messages working, camera working, all with minimal bugs.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 1weener:
Somethings not right here. I find CM11 plus its kernel to be the best, clean, no bullcrap ROM around and it just keeps getting better! It is stable, fast and smooth with great battery life, and everything I want or need in a ROM.

You guys with problems, I don't know why... but it is NOT CM11 that's the problem. :good:

You won't have major problems with AntaresOne's CM12. Just make sure you use Google's messenger instead of the ASOP messenger and by the way... Are you Johnny Kiener's kid?

I am John's son. May I know who you are, sir? Small world that we should meet here. I've been enjoying CM12 so far. I don't know what it was with CM11 or how I did it, but CM11 never worked well for me. Thanks for the tip. Trying out Alucard's kernel now for better battery life. Cheers! =)

Why are you sorry? Did you mean to insult me? lol
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] foxbatul:
I'm 100000 % agree,.

I have CM since 2 years on ALL my devices ( since galaxy i9000 , ( code name s1 ) so my s4 , even on tablet and other friends phones )

rock stable, very fast, very reliable. I am a heavy user ( on / off road navigation, viber,skype , doc/picture editing etc ) and I immpressed.

on my very old S1 ( now it;s the backup for gps system on my motorcycle ), cm11 ( 4.4.4 ) run great ( far better than the original 2.3.6 firmware by samsung )

except some niglies ( with battery drain or minor camera FC ) I have no complains at all.

taking in balance that from ~ 600 nightlies only 2 - 3 had those problems .. I am more than happy - long and prosper live to the devteam

every time when you have a problem, READ and FOLLOW all STEPS provided for intallation, even the single one. and of course, have the latest modem/bootloader.

have a great day to all
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
I'll pm you instead ? but that's good news your enjoying cm12
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] simonbigwave:
figure of speech "sorry... but you are wrong" or have done something wrong (during installation) or have a corrupted Viber app perhaps. Viber works fine, NOT a rom problem.

I am sure Omni, Slim or AntaresOne are very good, but I wish people would respect the OP and stop spamming this thread about other roms.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pjkiener:
I was willing to forego the previous replies, but just for the sake that you have, after all the others have already given their two cents, I'd like to give you my two cents as well.

In regards to your unbelievably priceless advice of following every step to the letter, why don't you school me on what I've done wrong.

Here are my steps: using TWRP you go to Wipe and swipe to reset the phone (format system, cache, Dalvik, data, etc) then install ROM, install proper GAPPS. And JUST FOR GOOD MEASURE, wipe cache and Dalvik again.

On CWM, same thing, wipe the appropriate partitions.

Same thing for Philz.

Yes, wiping all these partitions are different for each recovery, but what needs to be wiped is the same thing.

As for boot loader and modem, I've had XXUFNBE since it was released.

Hi, can anyone tell me if it works "Cast Screen" ??. This is in "Settings > Display & Lights> Cast Screen".

For those who do not know, is to pass via WI-FI what you see on the screen of the mobile phone in the Smart TV (which should obviously be connected to the WiFi network).

To me, that function while I worked, now only find the TV (Sony KDL-32W650A), and then click does nothing.

If it works, please also tell me the version of CM that you have installed on your mobile phone.

use betterBatteryStats app see whats draining your battery. Use Greenify to regularly shut unwanted apps. I get 4-5 hours easily of solid usage but everyone has different usage. On low usage I usually don't need to charge whole day.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] maltinbay:
Which kernel do you use?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] simonbigwave:
at the moment I am on default CM kernel. its good enough for me. ( I have tried ALucard kernel many times, its very good and I know I can get even better battery from it, but I just happen to be using default CM kernel now).

BTW i also use Lux app to reduce the brightness significantly on my phone. Usually for me thats the key battery drain. Tip: Also, if you use the privacy mode in settings>privacy> choose app> choose "Deny" where it says "keep awake". I do that for ALL my apps. I dont like them running in the background or waking up when I dont want them or when I killed them. Also my location is always OFF. u can try it. good luck.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] maltinbay:
Thank you, i am also use lux auto brightness :) all apps same, just your privacy tips. Should i use them with base app like phone, messaging, WhatsApp etc?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] simonbigwave:
for me, whatsapp, facebook, facebook messenger, BBM, skype, viber really can drain your battery alot, especially if you have a few running same time....so I use the "Deny> Keep awake" setting always for all those. When i want to check messages, I just open what I want, then kill it. Also I turn off "notifications" in settings>app for almost all apps, except for a few important ones. suggest you just keep a few your important apps un-selected/awake, and the rest of apps set the max privacy+notifications OFF+deny>Keep awake all. try test a few different settings see how you go. you should find a huge difference in battery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] maltinbay:
Thank you again. Last question, where can i find alucard kernel for i9500? I really searched, but just find for i9505 :(

Battery drain and charge

Hi everyone, loving this rom so far, just having 2 problems, when i charge my phone overnight(or any time) it will only charge to 82%, though if i take it off charge and put it back on it will charge to 100%. the second problem im having is that when i use LTE(4G in UK) it destroys my battery life, like, as though n app is hanging in the background(it shows mobile standby as draining the battery in the settings), i tried wiping everything and reflashing the rom and both issues are still there. would flashing another kernel help these problems?

I'm on the latest nightly, 12/09 and the screen turns off everytime I make a call.

I can press the home button and that brings me to the homescreen, but when I try to get back to my call again from the dropdown bar it goes black again as if i'm holding it to ear which I'm not. Any suggestions? I've been backreading some issues on proximity sensors being screwed up but that seems resolved for some time already.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] !crazy:
Lot of people had/have hardware issues with proximity sensor, not that software one. So that issue has still not been resolved. You can try to blow dust of the sensor, few people reported that helped them.

Also clean install (format everything, including sdcard - not external) and checking checksum of the downloaded zip file could also help.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] byobodybag:
Thanks, it's actually annoying as hell. I can't even set my phone down to speaker or bring up the dialpad as the screen goes blank as soon as I make the call.

Changing the kernel (Alukard) didn't help either.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jsmith8858:
I can't find the original post for this, it's somewhere on XDA, but here's some copypasta for you which has worked for me, all credit to the original author:

* * * *

First, download and open the free "Phone Tester" app, click on "Sensors status" and look at the "Proximity sensor" category. Make sure your proximity sensor really is jacked up first. If it says "far" until you hover your finger over the sensor, when it switches to "near," the proximity sensor is fine, and you've got some other problem for which this won't help. However, if it's stuck saying "near" all the time when nothing's near the sensor, it probably is screwed up, so this might help:

Using either adb shell (or the Terminal Emulator app, which I prefer, since then I can do it all on the phone itself without a computer) type in this and hit enter:

cat /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal

You'll get 3 numbers. You'll only use the 1st one. Then type the following:

cat /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/state

Add the value you got from the second line to the value from the first line (remember, just add to the first of the 3 values you got back) and convert this number into hexadecimal. (For me, the hex value ended up being 68).

Now type the following (since my hex value was 68, I have '\x68', but replace that number with whatever value you got):

su

echo -en $ '\x68' > /efs/prox_cal

chown system:system /efs/prox_cal

chmod 644 /efs/prox_cal

sync

echo 0 > /sys/class/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal

echo 1 > /sys/class/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal

reboot

The last couple lines make the settings stick through reboots. I hope this helps your situation. It fixed mine!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] byobodybag:
Thanks a lot mate! I actually installed that Phone Tester and it was always saying NEAR. So, I did some digging around with Google and ended up reading a lot on S4 proximity hardware issues especially when the screen has been replaced.

Well, you guessed it. I shattered mine a month or so ago and had it replaced then this issue came up. I ended up dismantling the damn phone and cleaning the sensor and that hole where it sits behind the glass. It was full of debris, not sure if it was from the repair itself but it wasn't normal.

Managed to put everything back together and it's now working as before, thanks to Youtube lol!

bug???

Hi,

lately I noticed that in my battery stats WiFi is always shown as active even when it is off. I tried several latest builds but the same issue is on all of them - not sure since I have this behaviour.

For better description:

Open battery stats and click on the graph to enlarge, the WiFi activity is for me always active there even when wifi is off.

If I can help with any supporting files reports let me please know as I am not sure what to post for such issue.

Dunno about lots but still happening to me for sure. You use 5 GHz wifi? I do and others pointed to that as a factor.

At this point I wonder if updating bootloader/modem will make a difference. Problem is that stuff is so undocumented and messy, haven't looked around much but updating the modem last time was a huge pain (oh yeah just go to this huge post with all the modems and find one...ugh). I managed to update the modem but I think my bootloader is still pretty old.

I'm not going to cry too much about not having my hand held but as someone who was really impressed with the CM installer in the Play store (that can get a noob from stock to CM quite easily) it's disappointing that when bootloader/modem needs update users get thrown right into the fire of long unclear instructions.

Like [MENTION=4387505]!crazy[/MENTION] said the CM camera is in every CM if you haven't deleted the apk. Some of the largest Gapps packages include Google camera and replace CM camera by disable CM camera and enable Google camera. Gcam has higher version than CM. If so - disable Google camera app. If installed Gcam from Play - un-install.

Some of the modular Gapps, like PA, doesn't include Gcam - like pa_gapps-modular-pico. Format of /system is needed when switching/flash to other Gapps type +flash CM +clean cache.

Weird issue with external SD

Hi, hopefully I'm posting in the correct place, please pardon me if I'm not.

I just updated from an older snapshot to the newest one M12. Previously, I was experiencing a problem of missing photos after taking photos with the camera and then REBOOTING my phone. After reboot, any photos I took will be gone. Initially, I thought it was only the camera/gallery app problem so I decided to update to M12.

I havent had any random reboots or SIM error for months on the nightlies. ALL fine for me. If you are having random reboots before and have already done a FULL wipe data/cache/system/dalvik before your installations, then if stil problems, I would probably check my battery. a faulty battery can sometimes give ghost random reboots. SIM error check your sim card (remove and replace it back) when phone is off, or if all else fails then ask your telecom company to replace it. Sometimes its just a faulty SIM.
