[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Mad_Technologist:
Basically, this problem makes my SD card somewhat useless. I occasionally save music, videos, etc to my SD card so that I can enjoy it later, but more frequent than that, I use my SD card to store backups from Titanium Backup and using the Online Nandroid Backup app. So while this is in effect, I can't do any of that. As for what file I wanted to delete, I just tried to delete any file on the SD card to see if it would work, as a test, and as it turns out the file was the 1st Nameless zip that I downloaded. Since I'm well past that install file, I tried to delete it to free up some space. So, I'll try another full and clean install, but I hate that this happened while I was updating the ROM via the update app.

At any rate, thanks for the tip.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] dyandell:
Is it a Sandisk?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Mad_Technologist:
Yes, it's a Sandisk. Are they notorious for failing or something like that? If it were a failed/bad SD Card, I would've expected the whole this to stop working and I not be able to access the Card at all. Something I did just notice though is that the original file I installed was 4.4.2 and all the most recent updates are 4.4.3. So I wonder if the issue is that I didn't do a clean install and updated via the ROM updater? However, now I'm running into the issue that I can't copy the new install over to the SD Card in order to do a clean install. So that complicates things, tremendously. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] dyandell:
I just replaced one that at times I could see the files and even delete them but they would show back up. A lot of talk about it in the Q&A forums and SanDisk's website. I thought the same as you. PM me if you want but I bet your card is no good. SanDisk will take care of it for free but it takes about a week or so.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Evisceration:
oh, and you can "sideload" the update which does not require a sd card.

thats my way to flash as i flash a lot and its quicker to flash for me in a build environment.

all you need is adb. then you can reboot to recovery, install zip, install zip via sideload.

plug the phone in with you usb cable and issue "adb sideload THE ZIP FILE"

just google about it, its 4:47 am and im pretty bad at explaining :D

if a fresh install isnt fixing it for you, then its definitly your sdcard (im not using sandisk for exact that reason, never had problems with other brands)
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Mad_Technologist:
Thanks for the tip and help. I just restored an old Nandroid Backup from before the issue, and that too is messing up, so it seems that it is the SD Card, which sucks! So, I now have to replace it. I'm going to turn it in to Sandisk, assuming they'll replace it for free, but I still want to buy 1 that will be more reliable. Can someone recommend 1 that is 64GB, reliable, and reasonably priced? I see 64GB Sandisks are on sale on Amazon for about $40, but I would be willing to pay more if I have some reasonable expectation of avoiding this in the near future. I've had this for about a 2/3 years now and hoping a replacement will last a lot longer.

Edit: I just found a Samsung Micro SD card on Amazon for about $70 that is supposed to be Water proof, Temperature Proof, X-Ray proof, Magnetic proof, and has read and write speed up to 90 and 50 MB/s respectively. Conversely, the Sandisk I have is only $40, but technically if mine were replaced for free it wouldn't cost me anything. Anyway, does anyone have any experience with this card or with any Samsung Micro SDs? Lastly, does anyone know how long the warranty is on this card, any Samsung Micro SD cards, or any of their stuff in general?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] krinyo75:
After long time (since months) I can say this new 4.4.3 build is a perfect rom, I tried yesterday's nightly and it seems to be working without any problems, quick and smooth.. grat.

oh, I promised to help you to translate the rom to Hungarian language, please tell me in pm how can I do it, I have time now for these things :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Evisceration:
nice to hear! :)

we had troubles with the damn pin / simpin since the multisim merge and finally solved it some days ago haha.

just head over to https://crowdin.net/project/namelessrom/ and start ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] krinyo75:
I see that this 4.4.3 build needs a little more batt like the roms before.. Does anybody have more batt drain, too?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Evisceration:
the biggest changes from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 are camera stuffs, else nothing too important changed.

4.4.3 to 4.4.4 is even less, only 1 or 2 changes in base and mostly openssl and chromium, which we already had.

so there are no changes which could heavily impact battery life.

battery high depends on your behavior and the apps you have installed and so on as well as your connectivity. bad connectivity leads to network searches and changes and this may use more battery too. theres no fixed battery drain rate, keep that in mind.

though the s4 is not really battery friendly anyways.

for that you can always throttle it a bit via device control.

i have eco mode enabled and my frequency capped to 1,1 ghz and get 5-6 hours screen on time with mobile data usage
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] WarAxe:
Tried to flash the 6/19 nightly (4.4.3) last night with TWRP 2.7.1.0 on my jfltespr and got an error in recovery saying the partition failed because of device incompatibility... it knew I had jflte but told me I needed i950x or whatever.

Did Nameless un-unify (segregate, secede, split, fork :confused:) at some point? Or perhaps I'm doing something silly.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Evisceration:
maybe a TWRP failure?

i'm a philz recovery fanboy and things go flawlessy for me with it :D

though you could open the rom zip, open the update script and remove the assert lines at the very top.

META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

remove the assert stuff until

mount("ext4", "EMMC", ......
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] krinyo75:
What do u mean about connectivity? I1m using 2G all the time or Wi-fi if it available. In settings/security I disable locationwake-upawake functions on alll app, which I don't want to connect to internet or work itself only if I open it. I think so we can minimalize the usage, or not? Any tricks?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] NZgeek:
I'm running into sine problems with the latest weekly build. I'm currently running the 0615 weekly build and an trying to dirty flash the 0622 weekly. I'm using stock Nameless kernel, ART, PhilZ CWM 6.46.3, Banks minimal GApps.

After the flash, as soon as the Starting Apps screen disappears, I immediately get an endless string of force close messages for both com.android.phone and NfcService. I don't even get to the SIM PIN entry screen because of these messages.

I've checked the checksum on my copy of the zip and it's a match. Reflashing the older build + GApps gets things working again, so the problem isn't corrupt data. Clearing /cache doesn't help. The only thing I haven't done yet is a wipe, and I was hoping to avoid that hassle.

Has anybody else had any similar problems? Could it be related to ART?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Evisceration:
weekly builds are odexed, i havent tested yet how it behaves if you have art enabled and upgrade odexed roms.

disabling art could be worth a try :)

anyways a full wipe is highly recommended, as the latest changes include signature changes of the dialer and incallui.

worst case you get force closes if you get a call
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] fedef12evo:
thank you for your work, is possible to cherry pick custom progress bar? and compile the rom with sabermod, thank you :D
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Evisceration:
we do like the progressbar we have ;p

we are against sabermod, we prefer stability.

also the build system is already tweaked and optimized, changing toolchains wont cause a miracle :D
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] fedef12evo:
ok thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] zard:
Edit:

Wrong thread. Please ignore.

I'm using Cwmr and Omni nightly rom. I wiped and flashed tilapia nightly and even weekly, but got stuck in Google boot screen. What could be the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] NZgeek:
ART + flashing an odexed build = Bad Things (TM)

I downloaded and flashed yesterday's nightly (the first one after the weekly) and aside from some odd glitches with the circle battery display, everything is fine.

From what I can see, the ART runtime isn't able to compile odexed code. You'll get some form of UI when you boot, but none of the system apps (including the lock screen) will work and you'll end up with an endless string of force close notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Evisceration:
thanks for testing :)

though we switched back to userdebug builds for weeklies until user builds are fully ready.

we need to fine tune a lot more it seems
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] erghetto:
mm but on a nexus device (like nexus 5) is stock rom and odexed one? i mean.. NZgeek is saying that art + odex rom is not a good thing, but on a stock nexus 5 there is possibility to try ART. now as said at the beginning.. i don't know if stock nexus is odexed or deodexed, but if it is the first case, this means that art works with art.

maybe NZgeek's problem is the wipe. have you tried with a wipe data?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Airtioteclint:
Can we make requests? Omni style data transfer and long press home button for torch would make this rom perfect!
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Evisceration:
adding :)

long press home already works on lock screen and for navigation bars, but ill update actions for hardware keys too sooner or later :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Battlehero:
This is an amazing ROM, if I could add a single feature that would be full swipe for the notification panel, I would be very thankful but I understand if you don't want to.

Apart from that this is a great piece of work, keep it up!
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] angiest:
Recent nightlies are having incallui force closes when receiving calls. At the times I've had the force close, non intrusive was enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Evisceration:
i posted to our G+ community relating to that problem. you need a full wipe as the signature of Dialer and IncallUI changed to support the non intrusive feature. without the new signature, it is not able to get the correct permissions and crashes. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] angiest:
Thanks. I'll go look for the note.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Evisceration:
sorry for the troubles, but i promise, in future we wont force people to wipe their system in order to make calls haha :D

but these are nightlies so i guess you all expect such things from time to time ;)

by the way, thats the post https://plus.google.com/112596745475827922271/posts/fNdEuf6Yu7u

G+ reaches all users, easier than posting on every XDA thread but ill do next time in case of an important change
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Hinnne:
ok

because of incallui bug we need to do a full wipe.

but how can I give write permissions for titanium backup so that it can read the my old backup folder on my external sd card.

all my backups are on external sd card. this always worked.

but with nightly 6-26 i cannot set external backup folder for titanium backup because it has no write permissions. it only shows my option for internal sd for backup folder.

please help thx.

[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] debbuger:
Deleted
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Evisceration:
haha nice :D

but keep in mind, if you do reviews, you should always do it without theme else people may think its default like that.

also at the update center you just showed the work in progress screen and not the updates itself? :D
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] debbuger:
In update center there is no update shown and then I missed it.will make a new video with default theme and will be much better.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] angiest:
This did fix the problem for me.

Nameless ROM v4.4.4 on Samsung Galaxy S4(i9505): http://youtu.be/j5ejgl1QmDk

How's this one.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Bejda:
Hello :)

I have gapps force closes all around when i upgrade from 27/06 nightly to 29/06 weekly while using BaNkS minimal gapps (19/06 ones,i just see there was 29/09 uploaded but i would presume it won't help anyway).

Ok if i wipe system and reflash the rom to boot without gapps (just a little SuperSu and DashClock fc but both work) but fc again if reflash gapps on top,wipe dalvik-cache doesn't help either.

Do we need Odex gapps?

I can't find such gapps pack for 4.4..

Writing to external sd card not working (MTP connection)

Well,

it seems that there is a problem with writing permissions since... rom and also now on 29-6-2014 rom.

If I connect phone with usb to pc. Pjhone is on MTP mode I cannot copy files to external sdcard (64gb sandisk) anymore.

It is only posssible to read external sdcard and to write and read to internal sd.

Also root explorer has problems to copy files to external sdcard.

I installed xposed framework and handle external storage add on and the problem still exists.

How to solve this.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Bejda:
I never had write permissions on external storage issues on CM/aosp custom builds,only when KitKat came to Touchwiz but that's another story (generally had to edit platform.xml and in the meantime most apps had an update that solved it).

My TitaniumBackup saves are on external storage and always worked fine since a year ago (except when kk came to Touchwiz then where restore/read kept working while it wasn't possible anymore to write/save..platform.xml edit was doing the trick but TB got updated since then).

64gb sdcard have to be exfat formatted isn't it?

Seeing your several issues and the fact it seems to be both writing/reading stuffs i'd search on this side maybe..maybe something changed concerning exfat support on 26/06 nightly?

Otherwise the problem may lies with the sdcard itself,dunno..
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Hinnne:
Well i noticed that this problem only appears if i want to copy folders with many files to external sdcard over mtb. creating a folder or only copying one small file works. but copying folders with mp3s does not work anymore.

The sdcard itself is working without problems. I did a fresh and clean install.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] buedi:
I posted this two weeks ago also - definitely an annoying issue! In my case this issue exist also, when I download files for example from Spotify on my SD. After a few songs it stops with the message "not enough space" which is nonsence. Same for Titanium Backu etc. Not sure if a full wipe would fix this. Wil try this when time.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] dyandell:
Let's see how psychic I am. I bet you have SanDisk, probably 64gig card. If I am correct, go to SanDisk and get a replacement card. Yours is no good.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Hinnne:
That is right. But my sandisk 64gb sdcard works perfect with PC and sdcard reader and worked perfect with earlier rom versions.Problem is only with Rom and mtp mode and I think since android changed writting permissions.

I also noticed that new files in sdcard which are written over recovery or with cardreader are only readable when I unmount and remount the SD card in Rom settings. Only rebooting is not enough. This is also a new behaviour since new rom updates.perhaps since 4.4.3.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] rdlemos:
Hi supersu fc in 29/6 nightly flashed over last update. Are there a solution? Thanks

Enviado desde mi GT-I9500 mediante Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Evisceration:
nothing changed since 4.4 to 4.4.4 regarding the writing permissions or whatever.

though we even gave the media_rw group, which handles stuffs regarding sdcards, more permission to restore pre kitkat conditions.

MTP always bugged for me, only solution to this was adding a third party ppa to my ubuntu installation with a modified MTP package

flashing supersu again.

its because the weekly is odexed.

though we disabled that but the build server didnt fetch this change and the weeklies are still odexed, sorry!

viber, K9-mail, hangouts refresh problems

Hi, since 4.4.4 I have refreshing problems with different apps, like k9-mail, viber etc, so not Gapps problem, but something is because these apps used to refresh itself realtime, when I sae new mail or messagi in my PC, they were on my phone immediatelly, too. But now, all messages and mail late, someimes mails comes after hours to my phone. What changed in this rom??? This is not good!!
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Evisceration:
nothing related that changed.

there were no big changes from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4

4.4.3 to 4.4.4 was just a version bump as it was a release to fix critical bugs in openssl etc.

my gmail, hangouts, telegram work fine, getting them in real time, same as XDA notifications (as you may notice)

Hi

does anybody use the Bsplayer for video playback? I have that problem with this app when open a video and topped it send to background wehile I see my emails etc. when change back the bsplayer it can't continue the video but no other video files, too. only when I go to settings and delete cache and data for this app. I tried the last one from playstore (free) or a Bm version, too, but the same error. good new, that this happen with another rom, too. I think this is the best video player but maybe therte is something incompatibility with new android versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Evisceration:
get MxPlayer, the real best video player and try with this one ;)

if you have problems with it as well, ill have a look and try to reproduce
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Bejda:
"Recents RAM bar=shows ram usage in recent apps window" tends to disappear very often on my side until i untick/tick again the option.

I presume it happens since 03/07 "SystemUI: rambar: use Device Control's memory information" so maybe it's still under work and a known issue for now dunno..reproducible?

I'm still on 03/07 nightly and i guess I'll skip 04/07 one..no wifi atm and an almost dead data plan lol,a chance the latest changelog didn't excited me much :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Evisceration:
yes, its in work.

its about milliseconds, if it cant connect in a specific amount of time, it tells the recents that the option is nit available and disables it.

i need to add one line of code to fix that, but didnt get to my laptop yet, will do asap :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Airtioteclint:
Anybody else having issues with lockscreen timeout? It stays at 5 seconds no matter what i set it to but it's actually set to zero.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Evisceration:
any more informations?

just did a quick test, i have:

*) the slider screen protection enabled

*) timeout set to none

*) Settings -> Display and configured it to turn off after 15 seconds to test

i wait 15 seconds, screen turns off, i immediatly press the HOME button and it presents me the screen lock

i set the timeout to 5 seconds, screen turns off, i immediatly press the HOME button again and it does not show the screen lock.

tested the above with pin as well and it works too.

though i noticed that the summary is not updating when i choose the pin, but when i press on the preference, it shows me none selected.

will correct that.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Airtioteclint:
Sorry i should have been more clear. I have pin security. When i hit the power menu to sleep the lock screen is immediately engaged. I like a 5 seconds delay just in cas3 i accidentally hit it while using the phone i would like to just click the power to turn it back on without entering my pin.

It's currently set to 5 seconds by default but it immediately locks when i hit the power button. Or maybe I'm using the wrong settings for what I'm trying to do? Settings > lockscreen >screen security > delay after timeout
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Evisceration:
for the pin there is no delay, it immediatly locks when you press the power key.

would need to change some things to make it work, noted down and will work on it after i get some sleep :)

Clock position is fine. Battery percent and weather are way down. I Don't have the time to measure in pixels but in mm right now you have from clock to top of battery symbol about 11mm. You need to cut about 5 or 6mm for it to look good.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Evisceration:
so easy said just reducing the space between clock and battery / weather by a little more than the half?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] remorema:
Exactly.

You could also increase clock font size. Samsung clock is way bigger. Try a bigger font in robotothin ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Evisceration:
awesome, thanks! applying the changes and reporting back with a screenshot :)

yeah, this was the initial import, more to come :)

currently we work on reflecting the weather state via icon instead of displaying that static image :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] remorema:
if you can have a look ad digital clock widget Xperia from market I used the 2x1 widget In hall monitor and it looks great. Just change the font to robotothin and increase date time to 15 leaving the clock font at default size.

That really sucks.

Will it work again without having force close message

in a view versions?

thx

as its in active development, a lot is changing, like the non intrusive call dialog.

if you get force closes when someone calls you, follow this: https://namelessrom.atlassian.net/browse/NAMELESS-1
