Using the latest kernel, every app works fine and everything is functional, no issues at all

A little unknown issue with the lockscreen, if I'm in the lockscreen screen, slide to unlock function, if I just press the menu button, phone unlocks, I've unchecked the home unlock and menu unlock so not sure, but that's all I've noticed, everything else is perfect

Solved. Full wipe and reinstall did its magic, worked with both kernels :good:

Thanks to all who answered !!

Irritating gripe

Sometimes when I press the power button on the side to bring the phone out of deep sleep the screen turns on then immediately off. I then have to press the power button again to bring it up to life. This seems tedious is this by design to prevent pocket calls or is this a bug?

Otherwise great rom seems to be more stable than the previous builds. I'd say it's 98% there but I have had an odd crash on occasion but very infrequently and its possibly be app incompatibility with KitKat.

Keep up the good work great rom and thanks to everyone from caron and F4k for this port.

Hi !

look here:

if you have doubts read that whooooole thread, and if you still have any doubts ask there, that thread is specific for your s4mini's version.

Hope it helps !

Thanks!

One more thing: Anyone knows how to lock the second core to be offline and save battery? Right now the 2 cores are active, and battery drains faster.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] coldgin_:
Hi,

change the governor to smartmax and see what happens. I think you don't have any hotplug enabled, but we can see this later, first change the governor.

Regards !
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] spixy:
change max. frequency to stock (or less) if u want more battery life

btw 2 cores @1GHz should have less consumption than 1 core @2GHz
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] neustadt:
Haha. So true, but I didnt expect that, and now I feel I was being rude. Hope I didn't offend you.

I am 31 and I thought I was kinder "older" here on xda. Maybe one day we can upgraded our bodies to a newer model :)

Can you check if you have enabled "daydream" under display settings? I have a feeling it uses CPU cycles even if it is set to "use while attached to docking station".

Can you also post a screenshot of battery your usage?

To tweak some settings for longer battery life:

You can lower you minimum Clock speed to 162MHz in the performance settings.

If you have time to fiddle and find the right settings for your individual phone, you can lower your CPU voltage aswell. But be aware that this can lead to random reboots, if you choose too aggressive settings or make your device unbootable!

I find Kernel Tweaker a little better than the build in performance tab.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Herr Harro:
Same for me. I updated to the newest modem but neither video nor normal calls work on skype. Can't call and can't be called. Was it working on 07/04? Didn't use skype in that version.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rolo143:
Yes. It works perfectly with that build. I don't know why, but it works. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Herr Harro:
Anybody here for whom Skype works perfectly on latest build? I could also imagine that the issues are caused by Skype itself. The app is really sh**** ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] coldgin_:
Me :) Never had problems with Skype. I use it almost everyday. Maybe if you wipe Skype's cache AND data, then uninstall, then reinstall (from PS, not from any backup) you will solve your issues. And try to keep your modem updated to any 2014 version.

Edit: Also when you use Skype, lower you frequencies, use smartmax and sio/sioplus/fiops. This will keep your phone as cold as possible. Using other combinations like interactive+deadline your device will be perhaps more responsive but some things could crash, eg: camera.

regards !
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Herr Harro:
Which device number and which modem do you exactly have? I freshly installed Skype from play store after a clean install. So clearing cache and data can and did not solve the issue... :(

As soon as I want to call someone the call stops and Skype is acting strangely. So probably it is just Skype itself...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] coldgin_:
Relax, you have not been rude at all !

So ... I'm only 50% older than you :)

I've been a programmer for almost 30 years, most of that time working at night and in terrible CRT monitors. That is why the eyes of most programmers aging faster than those of "regular people".

This is (one of) the side effect of being a workaholic nerd ;)

And yeah, I will need an update soon hahaha

don't use skype from cell, but just installed the version form play store to check , is working both for vid and voice calls, am on duos version and the latest russian KK modem .
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Herr Harro:
I just did a clean install of the latest build and installed no other apps than gapps and Skype. And yet it didn't work. Having the same problems as before. Neither can I call nor can I be called. Then I cleanly installed build 07/04 and again installed only gapps and Skype. And this time Skype worked flawlessly. So the issues can not be related to any modem or Skype version but only to version of carbon ROM build or F4K's kernel. My device number is i9195. Hopefully these problems will be fixed in future builds.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] F4k:

F4ktion kernel 1.6.0 is bundled with this one.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] iFlasher:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Herr Harro:
Yeah same for me. Both calls do just cancel after a second. And when being called, nothing happens on my phone and for the other it seems like I am not online.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Herr Harro:
I have the impression that the problem is much more basic and actually affects every type of connection. So for example when I open yahoo weather, in the first two seconds it always says no internet connection before it finally updates the weather. The same for tapatalk. I often get the message that it can't connect to the forum before it loads the newest posts. I didn't have that in builds about a month ago.

So it could be that in the newer builds it always takes a few seconds to build up an internet connection. And only in case one wants to call somebody via internet (e.g. when using skype) one actually notices the problem as the call can't be built up without internet in the first few seconds. I will try another VOIP app like viber to check if this is working.

Could that be the problem? Thank you very much for looking into that!

Hi,

so I read a lot about modem updates recently. I never updated mine, because I never had bad recpetion problems. At least none that I know of.

But I suffer from noise "glitches" during music playback and browsing the web at the same time. Is this something that would be adresses by an update?

My modem/baseband version is: I9195XXUAMF6

GoogleCamera is known to make problems. You can try to uninstall and block all Camera updates. Or make a dirty ROM update of the same version you have installed. That should install Carbons camera (aka AndroidCamera)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] coldgin_:
Hi !

you've got a very old modem version (june 2013) It's a good idea to update it from time to time !

If you are using bluetooth headphones and have problems whilst using wifi, could be an interference (wifi and bluetooth both use 2.4 freq) so I cannot guarantee that an update will solve this issue, but worth a try !

Besides, newest modems have (a little bit) better reception and less battery consumption.

See here how to update:

Hope it helps!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] neustadt:
It happens unfortunately on wired headphones, but if there are no negative effects I will try an update.

Actually I am quite lucky to have such an old modem, because I bought a used s4 mini, at a time knox was already released. Meaning the previous owner never updated and I still have an unchained phone :cool:

The thread also says that I can update my modem without getting knox. I hope this holds true :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] coldgin_:
Yes it's true, flashing a new modem doesn't trigger that Knox sh*t ! [emoji106]

Just in case, please backup your actual modem in recovery, so if you suffer any issues you can go back easily.

Can someone test if with this modified kernel Dual SIM works on latest build?

f4ktion kernel 1.6.0 3gds
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] iFlasher:
Nope it doesnt work and also left the first sim without service... I think that the problem is more related to the latest CM ROM changes and [MENTION=943196]k2wl[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5368296]sekil[/MENTION] are working on that, so if you can help them it be awesome :)

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] iFlasher:
In latest CarbonROM that you upload and now I go to try in the [MENTION=943196]k2wl[/MENTION] ones... Maybe happens the same, but no one knows.

EDIT: I have service in the first SIM with CarbonROM after a reboot using your suggested kernel... But still no multisim.

PS: in previous posts there was a discussion about how to restore Carbon settings after doing a clean install, and I think the conclusion was to backup and restore carbon-delta. Is it all I have to do? I want to upgrade the ROM but right now I have my current version configurated to the last detail and don't want to lose any configs. Thank you!

CarbonFibers settings is built-in on Settings.apk, so you could try to save content of this apk, but I think that will not work.

Backing up carbon-delta did not work for me aswell. I had roughly a 2 month gap, between the versions. Maybe it works better with closer updates.

The member Aguaz suggested the following, but i have not tried it personally:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] iFlasher:
Nope.. Not works again...

Maybe [MENTION=5368296]sekil[/MENTION] can help you because he fix the multisim in a latest CM 11 nightly.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] EFreixa:
I have done the backup and tomorrow I'm going to update the ROM and see if it restores my settings. The backup file is huge (242MB), I think that's because it has backed up the google text-to-speech high quality voice data that I've downloaded, it got stuck for a while showing like it was backing up that text-to-speech data. It also seemed like backing up data from downloaded apps, is it possible? Anyway, I'll try it and tell you;)

Other solution is doing a dirty flash, which I see a lot of people do (there are also a lot of complaints). So is it recommended? [MENTION=3261191]F4k[/MENTION]?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] F4k:
You can do always a dirty flash but if you have some issues you'll need to make a clean installation.

+1 one on skype issue. calls seems to drop after a 1-2 seconds, even if a try to call mobile number. seems like whatsapp messages delayed as well. Restarted phone and it started updating apps its maybe just accidental, but update seems like delaying as well as e-mails. 20140727 build. i9195

Camera recording issue +1 as well.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Herr Harro:
Yeah that's what i meant with a more basic problem. It seems like requesting something from the internet and connecting to any server doesn't work in the first 1-2 seconds. I often have to reload a website in chrome when I follow a web link as it initially says that I am not connected to the internet. After reloading, everything works perfectly. Happens on WiFi as well as data. That might also explain the problem with Skype.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] coldgin_:
Hi !

Try to get a logcat from the moment before you will access internet, including the failure, until you successfully connect.

This will help a lot our developer to see what is happening. As you might know, he doesn't have the LTE model so he cannot reproduce the error.

So, a logcat is the only way to really help to be helped. By the opposite, to continue complaining about "this and that don't work" is really annoying and useless.

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not talking specifically about you, it's happening a lot here lately.

Regards!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Herr Harro:
Well, "complaining" about anything not working well is in no way meant to discredit the great work by F4k. I rather think that this forum is actually there to point out all the things that do not work properly. And besides that everybody here also always makes clear how happy he or she is with the ROM. So I would not call it "complaining". In a way we are all beta testers so we know things are not always working perfectly. We test the new builds and try to explain what problems we've encountered. That's what I tried to do in my post and it is what most people do here. Just gave my best to explain the problem as exactly as possible. I think mostly it is not meant to be rude and rather okay the way it is done here...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] coldgin_:
Well, I'm sorry to say but your way to try to explain the problem is useless considering that the developer hasn't got the device and is not a wizard.

If you have a problem a logcat is the only way to really help, or get helped.

I'm deeply sorry if you feel I'm being rude. I'm just trying to most people cooperate in the right way. Just look into other threads, CM11 for example.

If you don't send a logcat, you will be asked for. If you complain, you will be banned. Those are the rules of the whole XDA forum. We like it or not.

Our developer is very kind and tries to fix even things he cannot reproduce. But that consumes a lot of time and energy that can be used in other things. So people, lets try to be more collaborative by catching a logcat and sending it here.

I'll be the first one to look inside it to try to discover what is the problem instead of guessing.

Regards!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Herr Harro:
Yeah you are right. It is better to send a logcat and I will do that as soon as I have the time for it.

But I think trying to explain the problem helps already a lot as people can check if they have similar problems. And if it is not a single case one can dig deeper. So again, I did not meant to complain about anything here. Didn't even feel like complaining. I just wanted to share my experiences with some bugs I encounter. Sorry for that if this is already too annoying for you.
