Cool, thank you! Couldn't get the new GPU drivers to flash through an extra zip, so it is really nice, that they are now included in the rom.

I hope you had a great vacation and it's good to have you back. :highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
Thanks the break was nice, I'm running the build now seems a little smoother but I will have to use it more to tell the difference. Build is half uploaded so should be done soon and it will be on the main server.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kofe:
Where will it be uploaded? Goo or on main site?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
Build is up on the main site
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kofe:
Already running smooth :D

Thanks, Mahdi :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kloppi123:
Many thanks.

My flash steps:

1. Flashing Rom

2. Flashing Kernel (i use Alucard)

if you dont flash a kernel the S4 is not booting
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kofe:
I forgot to mention that I use a custom kernel also, so i don;t know if it boots or not with stock kernel. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] coki4:
and to me the same problem
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
I've been using my experimental kernel so I didn't realize stock kernel isn't booting, I think I know what it is.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] dunhillpanda:
Link to ur latest experimental kernel pls :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] GhiGo65:

latest is 6 april?

I think this is the last version

http://goo.im/devs/mahdi_rom/Jflte/Kernels
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] dunhillpanda:
But is it compatible with the newest build? As there are many changes in the latest build.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Cozmos23:
I think the only way to find out is to test it :) I will try the next Version with working stock Kernel cos the CM Kernel is still the best for me.

Something I always wanted to ask:

In the first page the info shows "Stock Kernel enhanced with IntelliActive Governour" but its not there.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chris264:
Hey sorry for the stupid question. But with the stock kernel boots the Rome? Did I understand correctly? Nice greetings

I've noticed that "Quiet hours" not working with notification light - I disabled notification light, but notifications still exist. Is it working in Your phones?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
The ROM should boot with other kernels, the stock kernel wasn't booting because the project got reverted to a previous version, that's been fixed now.

Its working fine for me, just tested.

New build will be out soon, stock kernel boots fine now and there's been lots of updates to the ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] tomurbanowicz:
Will be torch in the locscreen via long press HOME button like in CM? :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mistertac:
FWIW I've got the CM Optimized Dalvic and Bionic patches for Nexus working just fine with this ROM.

For all you Benchmark Folks it brought Quadrant scores from about 8000 to 13000 .

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] erghetto:
could you link?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mistertac:
Here are the two I used. I'm also on KT Kernel F2FS by the way.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5tjbvcm4v7iyok6/4.4_qc-optimized_bionic.zip
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mistertac:
Also side note about the patches/benchmarks... I'm not one to put a ton of weight on BM and don't judge a ROM by one either. I simply loaded up KT Gaming profile though and didn't tweak anything further. Also I'm on the 5-9 build and haven't flashed updated Adreno drivers yet.

Mahdi does a great job with this ROM and it's totally awesome just how he delivers it to us... I just have to be in TWRP flashing things, pushing my luck lol
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] erghetto:
also GPU drivers have been updated?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mistertac:
As far as i know Mahdi included them into the last two builds. I can also Dropbox them though again if anyone needs them. I actually did a few pages back..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
Yes, they are now included in the rom. I don't think that they are noticably better, the rom is as smooth as before. But on the other hand I don't play that much on my phone, so there might be some improvements, when playing games.

Thanks for linking the dalvik patches!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] tomurbanowicz:
Mahdi, would You set transparent block in call ui like in prev. build and CM ROM? Actually it is BLACK, and transparency in phone setting stretch and crop the pictures of contacts.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mistertac:
I'm with you there I can't tell. I flashed the updated ones just now and ran Quadrant again for kicks and no difference there either.

Again those patches worked great for me on the 5-9 build. The latest builds gave me data connectivity issues ( APN related maybe ?? ) so I can't comment if they still work but I'd imagine they would.

[MENTION=4593553]Mahdi786[/MENTION] you should have a Mod put this thread in the new Samsung S4 Unified JFLTE Development section on here so more people see it.

It's an awsome stable ROM I'm sure many would love to try.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] erghetto:
hey guys, do you usually change kernel, or you use the one built in the rom?

edit: oh and.. am i blind, or i can't change lockscreen wallpaper? it's not so important, but it's first time i try this rom and i don't know if usually it is there or not.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] emu1982:
Use the inbuilt Theme engine to change the lockscreen wallpaper. :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] erghetto:
o.O difference in quadrant is very big!

thanks !
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mistertac:
Good! And just to confirm... You're on the latest build?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] erghetto:
yeah yeah, last one.

p.s. till now i've lost a fantastic rom!!!

very very good!

edit: no halo, right?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
Wow that is a little harsh, if you don't want to use the ROM that's fine but I still own this phone and I'm still building for it so I don't see why I should be closing the thread.

Can you tell what connection Settings force close has to do with soft brick (non booting phone)?

The last version had a problem with the built in kernel which wouldn't let it boot.

I recently made some changes to security settings and I use pattern lock so I didn't experience this force close.

Heres the fix, just flash it in recovery.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/536qmnqcei8pvsq/Jflte-fix.zip

Once again I would rather you not use my ROM if your going to have that kind of attitude, many other good ROMs around.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Whiskey103:
Thread cleaned a little, i dont see any major issues that would grant a closing tbh.

If we close the thread OP cant post fixes huh ;)

Please respect the work done in free time :)

If you have a problem just keep it nice and friendly.

Cheers!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kofe:
Found two bugs in latest version:

1.st is not a big deal, the quick settings tile transparency doesn't work even if "enable custom colors" is enabled.

2.nd is quite important, when I receive a call, the contact photo is displayed just half of it (see screenshot) It happens with all contacts that have photo. Tried clearing data of phone app, but that doesn't fix it.

Anyone else confronting this, or is it just me?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
1.It does work but you have set you tile color after adjusting your transparency

2. There's an option in call settings to make incoming call glowpad transparent
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kofe:
Oh, thanks!

But now i've noticed something else. The answering glowpad position is upper than the unlocking glowpad's position. Am I right?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
Yes it is slightly higher
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s1l3nt:
edit nvm i should of read a few posts above. Thanks for the pin fix
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
Guys this build has its bugs even with the fix some people have reported quick settings tile setup force close, I'm working towards a final build on Sunday when everything should be sorted.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] erghetto:
for me it's very very good. till now any forceclose or other problem.

i've flashed it with bank gapps.

i'm very happy with this rom

I didn't experience any bugs either. Take your time, mate. I used to flash a lot of different roms, but since I found Mahdi rom with all the features I like the only thing I sometimes flash is different kernels or an update of your rom. :highfive:

And because I really appreciate what you are doing: 5LR77135FX2796849

stock kernel seems to have a very good battery life.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
Do you use f2fs? I wonder if the stock kernel supports it. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] erghetto:
no, i have never tried f2fs. i should learn too many things to convert it, i should change recovery.. (i am on CWM touch and i like it very much) too many things for a format that gives maybe not so much more performance, from what i have read.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
That's what held me back too. But Ktoonsez made it very easy to convert system, data and cache to f2fs so I gave it a shot. I'm still using it right now and never had a problem so far. But if it really improves performance or even battery life, I can't tell. It feels indeed smoother, but that might just be a placebo.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mistertac:
I was a die hard Philz Recovery guy ( cwm ) and was hesitant to switch over to KT's F2FS TWRP but really after switching I like it a lot. After the initial switch where you format /data it's really easy and everything is handled through his TWRP with a couple simple check boxes.

Also Philz supports F2FS now but I haven't tried it myself.

Me and some others have noticed possibly slight battery improvements after switching... But I have no real evidence.

Its getting easier and easier to make the switch since now there's another recovery and more kernels supporting it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:

Have u changed something in less frequent notification sounds? I've noticed that it did not work properly in the last build.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
It should be fixed because I reverted some changes related to notification manager.

Hi Mahdi,

is the Lockscreen Blur Effect back in the newest build?

And if not, when will it make its way back?

Thanks for the great rom btw!

Keep it on!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kofe:
No, the latest build doesn`t have the blur effect.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] erghetto:
have you ever thought to add halo or multiwindow or active display?

peek it's ok, but it's not the same of active dispaly (peek after a few go off)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kofe:
This rom has had halo in the past, but mahdi decided to take it off because paranoid team dropped the project.

U can try lockscreen notification instead of peek.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mistertac:
Got the latest working great over here. Had to uninstall my theme and re install it to make things look normal but all is well in the world of Mahdi ROM .

The Compass is a cool touch btw
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] vuvious:
Is there any chance of getting a quick settings tile for turning driving mode on and off or is there already a quick way of turning it on that I've not noticed?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] firephoenixctk:
I was wondering if this could be done too
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kofe:
I'm not sure, but i think that is a TW roms feature. I personally didn`t saw that option in the quick tiles in any CM based rom,

LE: This is what u are talking about?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] vuvious:
Its the Driving mode that's under Customization in Settings that uses text to speech to announce notifications, and its awesome when I have my phone plugged into my car. But a tile to turn it on and off would make it perfect. When you combine it with the Ok Google for 3rd Party Launcher exposed module you get a really good hands free experience.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
Hey Mahdi, any plans of making a new update on your experimental kernel? Just asking ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kloppi123:
since a few days and the new update i have sometimes litle freezes. 3-4 sec long.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mistertac:
What kernel are you running? I run KToonsez pretty much all the time without exception and it's always been buttery smooth for me. I run Rebirthing profile and it truly makes the phone fly.

I ran Alucard just to take it for a spin but that particular build had my phone freezing and my phone wouldn't charge anymore with my car charger.

KToonsez fixed both those issues right off the jump.

Can't speak on Mahdi's kernel as I haven't given it a fair shake.... Just throwing ideas out. This ROM. truly runs great on my phone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kofe:
Running smoothly here too. I'm also using KT kernel, and i don't have any problems.

OT: android 4.4.3 is rolling out :D

This means that we will have a new build, mahdi? :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mistertac:
Mahdi's jumping up to 4.4.4.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
Of course :D

This is what Mahdi wrote in the nexus 5 forums:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kloppi123:
i use alucard with the profile "extreme battery" . give it on the kt kernel a profile like the extreme battery profile? I am not the player. A little bit sms, threema, www, and so on.

Thanks

Can i use Art on this rom???!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] erghetto:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mistertac:
ART works just fine.

KToonsez has the KTweaker app that has many profiles including battery, balanced and performance.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
Hey guys, as you know 4.4.3 is out and it is a big update, I'm already making a nexus 5 build and working through the errors. Now regarding our s4 a lot of external project rely on cm/caf which are quite different to aosp so I will have to wait for cm before I attempt to build for s4, hopefully soon.

This is why we should all buy a Nexus ☺
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mistertac:
I would grab a Nexus except I have Verizon and they don't allow them lol ridiculous... Last one I think we did have was the original G Nex

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kloppi123:
I use the rom for now since 4 month. this is a perfect rom but why is the camera so slow? the time for photos I think is too long. that's a high end smartphone. Today I was in a shop in the city and the camera of htc one mini and the s4 mini is faster.

Is there a way to download stock kernel? It's one of the best i have ever tried for battery
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chelonee:
As far as I know there is no download for stock kernel. But you can just dirty flash the rom to get it back. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] erghetto:
mm i was quite sure of having seen a download link in first page some days ago. now there is nothing.. only for experimental kernel.

i'm asking this because if i decide to try another rom, i'd like to use this kernel.

That kernel you listed is only for i9505 like it's file name implies?? I'm on a Verizon S4 that's Loki'd so just want to make sure. KToonsez didn't release a 4.4.3 kernel yet...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] tomurbanowicz:
Full wipe is needed?
