[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] shadeofgrey:
Does the fixes for heads up include the slim way of heads up where you have to specify which important apps display a headsup notification? Or do you still have to go through and blacklist everything you don't want showing one?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
Its still the same as before

According to my battery stats Bluetooth is using 98% of my battery life but I've never turned on Bluetooth.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
Reset your battery stats, strange a few people have had this problem on different devices.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] doat:
How exactly do I do that? I haven't done it in so long.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] shadeofgrey:
Download an application called "Battery Calibration" by NeMa and charge your battery to 100%. Open the application and calibrate your battery, then unplug your phone. Done :D.

Ooh boy :) I'm gonna have to get used to this new settings layout. LOL Everything here is A'ok on my side. As always Mahdi... You the MAN! :)

---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

Just remember.. that "Battery Calibration" App eats up your Ram too. Trust your on-board battery settings etc. That's why it's in the Rom. just re-set your Battery stats ;)

Hi all!

can anyone please test wifi-tethering to if if it works?

In the last two releases it didn't (it connected but you would,'t get any internet on the other terminal) so if anyone can test it i might not need another clean install just to check that.

Thanks in advance!

Hi.. with this rom there is a way to make a classic video call?

What kernel and app should I use to unlock the screen with a double tap?

It is normal that during startup of the phone appear in the upper left of the screen

written lower case of which the first red?

Thanks

Quick settings glitches

Guys everytime I flash a new update this problem still persist. When I pull down quick settings then sometimes it starts glitching over notification bar, just there...dunno whats wrong but sometimes my phone freeze for a while after this glitching(its just a few seconds but repeatedly over the day)

Somebody have that problem too or I am one alone idiot ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oran3e1:
Its definelty not human error, had no problem with apps on previous ROMS, so im pretty sure its the ROM, i tried CM latest nightly with same kernel (KT Kernel) i had on this ROM 2x better battery life, it must be the amount of features in the ROM, i have also disabled that.

Here are screen shots from latest CM 11 Nightly with KT Kernel:

How's the battery life on this rom? :)

And wich kernel to run original or experimental? :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Cunhaad:
Well, i've done another useless clean install, it still doesn't work... so if you were wondering, don't.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] InfiniteImp:
I'm running the original kernel and am getting very good battery life. Compared to the other roms I've run this is so far the best. My usage isn't typical (the phone is idle most of the day, hooks up to the car's bluetooth, a short couple of calls, a bit of screen time. Today I've only had 36 minutes of screen on but still showing 83% battery life after 15 hours powered on. I'm happy.

I just tested it for you and it is working. Now, it took a LONG time to make the connection and get me to the point of being able to open web pages (maybe 1 minute total) but in the end the yellow triangle disappeared from the network strength icon on the Windows task bar I was able to open web pages, check my IP (to make sure I was on my cell provider's network), etc.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
Battery life in this Rom is great. Depends on how you really use it. I use the experimental kernel of mahdi. :good:

That's good that you've found a Rom and kernel that works for you bud. :good:

Thanks for testing! Ill give it another shot, but i think I've waited more then one minute. Anyway, thanks and i'll report back!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] trein91:
Trying out this ROM. Why does it say "DC" in the mobile data icon in the status bar. DC = data connected??? Btw, why is my navigation bar disabling itself on every boot? Odd

Also, custom boot animations doesn't seem to be looping properly. I'm using the android L boot animation, and it's supposed to loop until just before it completes boot sequence. It just disappears 3-4 seconds after first coming up.

Sigh, this is like the 5th rom I'm trying already.

C-Rom = freeze & unstable

SOKP = no support for Viper4Android, sound distortion, weird black bar under Clock in Notification Drawer

BeanStalk = no new cm theme engine

Team Asylum = no theming at all

Mahdi = navigation bar not sticking after reboot, boot animation issues

CyanogenMod Rom is stable as rock for me :good:

Ok, so i've tested it again to no avail. It actually "supposedly" connected, the yellow triangle on windows taskbar disappeared also after about 1 minute, though when i try to open web pages it fails to connect (several different websites). Just to be sure I've also tried to connect with an iphone and couldn't get it either.

It works perfectly with other roms, i'm on CM M8 and it's flawless. I've restored my CM M8 backup and tested it again (to be sure it wasn't windows failing me) and it connected.

I'm using philz recovery, but that doesn't have anything to do with it right?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mattan1999:
How did you get such a good battery life i only get 7-9 hours on this rom! :(

Can you please tell me how you did that and wich kernel you're using? :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] InfiniteImp:
Hard to say.. I've never used Philz. I flashed with TWRP. Could it have something to do with it? ... no idea. At least a possibility.

P.S. It took another 30+ seconds AFTER the wireless yellow triangle disappeared before I was able to successfully open web pages. In the end though it did work.

You need to find out where your battery drain is coming from. Obviously the rom is capable of great battery life so it would make sense that something with your particular setup is causing your bad battery life. For example, my battery performance improved when I disabled Google Now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] l_npl:
hi

can i install this rom on i9500 :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
I have my own i9500 Mahdi build ROm please dm if u want it i will upload it for u
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Cunhaad:
Well... I've waited much longer so it must be from the recovery. But anyways, if it takes so long even for you to connect it's because there's definitively something wrong. On CM it connects almost instantly, like 10 second or so.

Do you think this can be repaired? What do I have to do so this gets to the guys that can fixed it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] stanley08:
Lol. And I thought my 1% drain per hour on CM was bad.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] shadeofgrey:
Here lately I'm getting 5%-7% an hour and I'm not even touching my phone. Wakelock detector and better battery stats can't pin anything specific down. I miss my great battery life.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] stanley08:
Yes, And I'm wondering wats going on really... I'm Still on CM. I guess it has to do with the WiFi driver or something? I don't know tho, just got my own S4 yesterday...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ench18:
My battery specs screenshot from yesterday. Totally forgot to upload it last night.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] InfiniteImp:
That's something Mahdi or someone more experienced than me will have to answer. Typically most devs ask for a logcat so that would be a start. Start logging just before enabling teathering, switch off maybe 1 minute after you try and connect to the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] CorePrideX8:
Perhaps you can link me to the ROM that you're using? :D

Thanks <3
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] VICIOUSVIC1:
ROM was great but after two update phone still would not charge when plunged in and turned on. I would have to charge while phone was off. Even after multiple fresh install with full wipes and factory rest. Sad to say had to flash different rom and now phone works properly maybe at a later time will retry a lit of great features will miss but need my device to be at 100% working
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] shadeofgrey:
What kernel are you using? This is usually controlled by the kernel if I'm not mistaken.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] trein91:
Back to this rom, hopefully the boot animation issues and (navigation bar disabling itself on reboot) issue can be resolved.

Also, this rom seems slow to wakeup the screen from sleep, more so than other roms I've tried. It takes 1-2 seconds for the screen to light up to the lock screen from screen off. Odd, even my s3 wakes up instantaneously when I press the home button.

[MENTION=4593553]Mahdi786[/MENTION]

EDIT: The slow response to wake up only happens if you have something other than "off" lockscreen, so it affects pattern, slide etc.

When the phone wakes up, the brightness drops to dim, and then goes back up which is weird too. It's not due to autobrightness apps or etc since I disabled them, and it worked perfectly on other roms.

The brightness issue still occurs if you set it to "off" under lockscreen security, ie no lockscreen at all.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Zaileion:
DPI change

Im trying to change the DPI and can't seem to find the option. Or is this option not available and I should use ROM toolbox.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] VICIOUSVIC1:
I was first using Stock what ever was packaged with ROM. I then tried Mahdi Custom Kernal with still no luck only managed to trigger custom kernal counter now having issues with triangle away will not work. Had to say ROM was the best till issues came up only fix for me was different ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kloppi123:
I have a question to the snap camera. On my device with Mahdi rom the snap camera save the taken pictures two times. Why is it so?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] csrredcoat:
Hello,

Silly question, I found this awesome ROM from Max's ROM of the week. I noticed this is in the i9505 Development thread. I have it installed on my sprint but this is my first AOSP ROM. Do AOSP ROMS work on all the S4 carriers? I wouldn't have found this ROM if it wasn't for hearing about it on galaxy4root.com. Also, what does JFLTE mean?

Thanks!

Do You know theme like PA (orange) for MAHDI? Or do You know, how to change cyan to orange in MAHDI ROM?

How do I get the Battery Saver mode to work? I've selected to disable the WiFi and Mobile data when Battery Saver mode is activated but it doesn't disable WiFi or mobile data. Am I doing anything wrong here? Any help is appreciated?

Thanks for the great ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] trein91:
Tried carbon rom. Less feature filled than c-rom (afaik it had the best customisation of all the 10 roms I tried) but still has the same freeze and random reboot issue that c-rom suffers from.

Only thing that's solid is mahdi rom. (no random reboots even after a few days).

Only wishing that the navigation bar and boot animation issue can be fixed. #hopeful

Edit---Nvm. Got a random reboot here on Play store. Anyone else has the issue of apps force closing the first time you open them?

I've upgraded to 4.4.4 version of this Rom. I waited so long because every time I tried I had serious screen refresh issues (heavy flickering) . I now found what was causing it : KK Launcher. So, I now have Nova installed and no issues of importance. Only little thing is that disabling the hardware keys backlight doesn't stick after reboot.

Otherwise great stability, no reboots of any kind (using alucard).

Great rom, Mahdi!

Hello everyone, I have some bad news. I've sold my s4 so I won't be updating the device anymore and will be closing the thread soon. I've made a final build which has theme chooser fixes from cm and also added smart cover support thanks to Nameless ROM. I'll be uploading the build soon.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kloppi123:
What's your new device and do you develope a rom for your new device?

Thanks for your roms and good luck for the future.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
I still have a nexus 5 and I've just ordered a oneplus

I've never had problems with navbar not sticking on reboot and same goes for the backlight, both stick just fine. It take a short while after reboot for the hardware keys to disable but it does work.

Regarding your reboot problem, are you having reboots with the stock kernel? Which variant do you have eg i9505?

Stock kernel does suffer from random reboots which I've never looked into it because its basically stock cm kernel, my personal experimental kernel doesn't suffer from these reboot so if you have an i9505 try this kernel or KT and see if the reboot persist.

Thanks ☺
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] trein91:
Well the navigation bar sticks only for 20 seconds. Afterwards it disables itself. The capacitive button lights turn on on reboot even though I disabled them.

Didn't try stock cm kernel. Already using kt kernel. I9505

My jaw just dropped upon reading this...and it saddens me that my favorite Rom for my I9505 will no longer exist. :crying: Thank you for the great times Mahdi and good luck and have more fun with your new ventures on your upcoming devices. Cheers buddy and keep in-touch (On G+).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
Thanks for the kind words guys, thanks to everyone who downloaded the ROM. I had to sell the s4 to have enough funds for the oneplus otherwise I would have kept it, really liked this s4.

Anyway I'm looking to slowly close this whole project down and take a rest for a while before L is released, if someone is making private builds and can maintain the device trees for the s4 everything is on my git, just let me know. if I don't hear from anyone I'll close the thread within a week.

Here is the final build from me, ill update the changelogs later today but key things are:

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567719334

-Theme chooser fixes from cm

-Option to show headsup at the bottom thanks to [MENTION=4790322]kufikugel[/MENTION]

-Added Smart cover support thanks to [MENTION=4833385]Evisceration[/MENTION]

-Add support for checking proximity when waking device

-Fix from cm for offmode charging for devices on kitkat bootloader

I will post a link to a new experimental kernel which has support for smartcover later today.

Thanks everyone.

Hopefully someone will pick this up and continue on this awesome rom. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Evisceration:
The kernel change is not needed anymore, same as the hal.

we found an easier way over at cm and implemented it, just look at our fw/base and device tree changes :)

basically you only need the single easy patch and 1 board flag + 2 build properties.

this way users can keep using custom kernels and still enjoy the smartcover.

and you did a good decision with the oneplus :D

the s4 is great but it can never achieve THAT (attached screenshot :) )

here are the links

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mahdi786:
Hey, your first implementation is working pretty well but like you said if the kernel patch and hal isn't needed then it should be a much cleaner approach. Thanks for your work on all this, really appreciate it.

I'll check your github and the links soon, thanks.

Regarding the oneplus I heard the battery life is very good but that screen shot is crazy, I don't even think I could get that on my flo.
