what have you done for the community?

my adreno driver zip were made to work with S4. earlier adreno driver zips from qualcomm DIDN'T work out of the box. I had to change some folders and stuff. If the later versions of the drivers worked without those mods it's fine but mine worked 100% all the time.

And I got 7+ hours screen on. But that doesn't matter. Go have fun with your 3 hours screen on. Lol.

I help people who deserves it. And I got pm's from people that said they get 6-7+ hours screen on too.

It's doable with a great rom, kernel, network reception and wifi.

But this rom already has heads-up by default . So no need xposed to use heads up. Heads up works fine.

First off you have just lied again, the early drivers did work straight from the Qualcomm site, because I flashed them lol, secondly, I don't get 3 hours screen time, I get 6, and I shown how I did it, unlike you.

When you move between home pages and you reach the Las one at a side sometimes you see a fast redraw that causes a flickering effect, but it's more noticeable after you go to the home page (in my case I have two big widgets there) and press the drawer button. Multi redraws while the animation runs exacerbate the stuttering or flickering.

No live wallpaper here.

On 0624 and the flickering continues. :(

This app do record but:

- Quality is quite bad with a lot of artifacts.

- The problem doesn't manifest quite well while recorder is working.

Could it be related to CPU settings? I didn't change anything from default but maybe it has some relation.

I noticed u guys on different launcher to us with flickering. I am on Trebuchet launcher and get flickering alot whenever open app folders and sometimes when slide home screen. Its not a big problem for me. Anyhow Just tested Google Launcher and it seems to have almost no flickering. Barely noticable. Will give Nova a try also.. Would b interesting if it was the launcher causing it.. Dunno.

Try wipe cache and Dalvik cache? See if that helps?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mgterminator:
Unfortunately does not work, I've done a full wipe as well.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] petrus764:
I've always had that in the app drawer on the google now launcher, but never anywhere else. Been that way since i started using the launcher back in january.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] simonbigwave:
OK. I just tested all 3 launchers. My findings ;

1 Trebuchet launcher > alot flickering and often, in app drawer and home screen

2 Google Launcher > much LESS flickering than Trebuchet. Not as noticeable. Not as often.

3 Nova Launcher > NO flickering.

My guess is flickering is related to launcher. Sticking with Nova for now...

Hi every1,

im thinking about flashing and stay with the M builds. Is it possible to flash an M build just dirty over a nightly (like nightly->nightly) or do i have to fullwipe my device?

Yo!

Hey to all of you people who are on the latest build of Cyanogenmod 11 (20140624) just to let you know what i have been experiencing.

I have been dirty flashing the previous 3 nightlys (flashing without doing full wipe) and ive been using cyanogenmod updates for this.

I have experienced a few glitchy problems but they settle after a few reboots and days, i had a problem with signal turning on and off, WIFI not connecting, lag, power-save profile still not working, subtle graphics glitches, some FC's but thats about it.

I was thinking does anyone know if its best to just wipe everything and do a clean install of the latest nightlys or just use Cyanogenmods update service instead?, i want to know if this will reduce bugs, thanks :D

:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] vedko:
Well, my testing app for this is Waze - with it I got flickering on CM since I remember. Strange enough, when I applied the suggested changes, the flickering is gone. I'm also using M7.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oran3e1:
Hey what suggested changes did you apply?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] vedko:
It's not recommended by the CM team. There were a couple of posts about that some months ago. Or you may look at their blog or Google+ site. That of course applies to nighties after the M date and the ones a few days before.

Having said that, there's a good chance it will work for you. Anyway, just make a nandroid backup (in recovery) and flash the M7 - you've got nothing to lose. Or even better: make backup of your user apps e.g. with Titanium, make a clean install and restore the apps (user only, not system).

I have an issue where, randomly, on reboots, my notification noise and ringtone show as Unknown and it plays the default noise, instead of what I have set it to.

I have tried selecting the notification and ringtone from my sounds that I have on the external card, internal storage, as well as in the default folders of the ROM and it makes no difference.

Anyone else experiencing this? Its not every reboot, just random ones. Quite annoying since I have quieter short sounds and the default ones are louder and obnoxious.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] aleksik:
Lol, ever since people started to report the flickering issue I always thought that they meant the flickering in the notification drawer when pulling it down or up. It mostly flickers when I have for example a video running and pull the notification drawer. For me that started a couple of nightlies ago, now I'm on 6/21. I never realized that you had the flickering in launcher, because I have used Epic launcher from the moment I flashed the first KitKat ROM on my phone and haven't had that flickering :D So you who suffer from flickering in launcher go ahead and try Epic launcher. It has lots of features-even the free version, but looks like the Google launcher and has the swipe to left for Google Now (I don't use it, but I'm sure someone does) Now I'm off to bed, it's 4.15am here :)

What do you mean GPE from Jamal?, also 624 its pretty buggy, slow laggy internet speeds, very buggy WIFI, flickering notification draw, graphical glitches but can be fixed other then notification draw, GTA San Andreas has graphical glitches until applied build.prop fix, at this current moment my WIFI suddenly doesnt feel like turning on or working GREAT NIGHTLY YEAHH getting very annoyed

Also issues with Chrome not working 50% of the time, also the ROM itself has become laggier then the previous Nightlys

(update, my WIFI was alright, it decided to change to a different router by itself)

Google Play Edition for i9505. It seems the most stable stock AOSP rom...

Every time Idecided to move for CM... I find lot of issues:-\

I like CM but is getting complicated to be a little bit stable. Maybe i9505 is too much buggy for the devs...

blacklist determines apps in which notifications will not be displayed. e.g. if you're using YouTube and don't want to get disturbed by a notification while watching a video, you add YouTube to your blacklist

Hi,

Thanks for this.

I have a couple of questions. I've updated from the 4.4.2 CM, but some things are missing, the phone dialler and the settings doesn't work from the pull down menu thing (the drawer is it called?). The only way I can access settings is to have a shortcut on the desktop.

All my sms messages have gone too.

I wiped the cache partition after the update, is this something that can be easily fixed or do I need to do a factory reset?

Any help appreciated, thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] aleksik:
I think it's recommended to make a clean install when going 4.4.2->4.4.3/4.4.4. Atleast the dialer got updated so it might cause your problem. Make a data wipe/factory reset and flash the ROM again and you should get rid of those problems :)

Camera issue.

Having a camera issue. It was present on the 4.4.2 version I came from too.

When I load up the camera, it takes a while before I am able to swipe left to see the photos and it seems like sometimes it does it quickly, sometimes it takes maybe 10 seconds or I have to take a photo to get it to let me swipe left. Also, sometimes, but not always, after taking a photo, the thumbnail doesn't appear in the top right corner of the screen, again, in differing amounts of time, but it can be 10-20 seconds.

The SD card checks out OK, it's a samsung 64GB and is around 50% full.

Any workarounds?

I'm on a fresh install of this rom.

Thanks :)

Try going into Date & Time in settings and selecting "Automatic date & time use network-provided time" instead of time zone, it can cause MANY MANY problems

Get a memory stick booster app to allocate more memory to the card because it might be a slow one, mine is instant and have no problems

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Monkey Chops:
Thanks for the reply.

Using the stock rom, this card and another genuine samsung card that I have in my tablet work perfectly. Similarly, neither of them do this in the tablet running CM11 4.4.4.

This is the sd card, reasonable specs:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-microSDXC-Memory-MicroSD-Adapter/dp/B00D1RD948

Not sure what to make of it really.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] petrus764:
Actually, there's A LOT more touchwiz in GPE than you'd might think. Just about everything under the hood is touchwiz, from the framework to the kernel. That's why GPE kernels are based on TW ones and why you cant for instance flash newer adreno drivers that works great on AOSP/CM.

GPE is basically touchwiz without all the bloatware and ugly interface.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] aleksik:
Yea, that's right. I knew GPE has a lot of things same as TW, but I thought they were still built on two different bases. One thing which made me think they were different was that alucard makes own kernel versions for all TW, GPE and AOSP. Anyway, thanks for making me a little bit smarter :)

Well you have a few things to try, clean and wipe davlik and cache in recovery, then apply this booster

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gejos.android.sdcardbooster

Then make sure your CPU speed is running on max (1800), make sure the card isnt FILLED with photos and videos because it will take time for the phone to load all of them images, which will cause a 10 second delay of course.

Try running another ROM im currently on the same ROM as yourself, latest 4.4.4 CM nightly, but am moving too a (hopefully) more stable http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2555569 EcheoGE ROM 4.4.3

IF that doesnt work im guessing its either the ROM, or your card has too much data on it, thats a HUGE card bro
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Monkey Chops:
Thanks again!

I think I fixed it by removing the card, rebooting, clearing camera data, powering off, refitting card, powering back on. I tried the app you mentioned, but it gives me a 3-4 second black screen before the camera loads.

Hopefully it'll stay fixed :)

I did a complete wipe with 6/23 b/c I was having camera issues - after initial flash camera worked fine, but as I install/restored apps the camera stopped working - but I don't know exactly where or what caused it. Camera worked fine from tile, oddly enough, just not when launched from desktop. Installed 3rd party camera which worked fine. Then I uninstalled "stock" camera and installed google camera from play store and it works fine as well, and is what I am using now.

Not really an answer, I guess just posting what I've run across. I'll be installing either 6/25 or 26 later tonight probably and will try to see if I can replicate where/what breaks it.

not necessary. only if you face major problems you need clean install/update. otherwise dirty flash (and dalvik cache wipe is what I do every time).

You dont need to wipe any cache mate, the updater script formats the system partition when you flash the nightly.... The cache is part of the system partition, so it will be done for you :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
No, cache and dalvik-cache aren't under our system partition.

Cache is a dedicated partition and dalvik-cache is under /data/dalvik-cache for users apps and under /cache/dalvik-cache for system apps and frameworks .jar files.

At least on our device's CM/aosp custom builds.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chahk:
Doesn't change the fact that you don't need to wipe caches after flashing a new nightly. Both regular and Dalvik caches are invalidated during the flash and will be rebuilt during the first boot-up.
