Unfortunately it's not that simple. I already downloaded several firmwares, extracted the modem and flashed but it didn't work. So the only thing you can do:

1.) is make a backup of your rom to your external sd card.

2.) remove the external sd from your phone

3.) boot into CWM recovery and wipe cache + factory reset

4.) download stock rom from http://www.samfirmware.com or http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9295

5.) flash stock rom via odin

6.) boot into stock rom and check if the baseband was updated

7.) if it's updated go to step 10 otherwise boot into stock recovery and factory reset

8.) flash stock rom again via odin

9.) boot into stock rom and check the baseband, now it should definitely be updated

10.) flash current CWM via odin

11.) put your external sd card back into the phone

12.) restore your backup in CWM

13.) that's it, you have now the new baseband

I did this for the MK3 and ML3 basebands (the 4.2.2 stock roms). I didn't test for the new NE5 baseband which cames from the 4.4.2 stock rom.

Best wishes,

Christian

Could someone who has Osmand please tell me if it works for him/her with the new baseband. It seems that Osmand is a bit special with the compass.

Best wishes and thanks in advance,

Same deal with NE5, tried without reset, stuck on ml3, tried flashing just modems, stuck on ml3, factory reste then re flashed ne5, got NE5 modem. then rooted, and cwm and dual boot with cm11 as secondary. (still playing with ne5)

have downloaded free version of osmand will report on compass in a bit...

There is a much simpler way of flashing a new modem:

- Download new rom - Extract modem files (or send me a PM and i'll upload them :) )

- Open Odin - Reboot phone to download mode - flash modem.bin as phone in Odin, untick auto-reboot - when flashing is complete, reboot to download mode again, flash modem.bin as phone and reboot. There, now you have new modem ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Original Android Development] koutsa:
I guess there's no hope with this (or any other CM) ROM to have the possibility to move apps 2 ext SD-card?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Original Android Development] snadge:
Like most people (I'm assuming) I had to download NE5 (4.4 Netherlands stock rom) and give it a go. Not bad! I'm still running it. Good battery life, camera works well, but ergh, TouchWiz.

There are a few minor issues with CM11 that I've noticed. The default resolution for taking pictures is different to stock, which results in a different aspect ratio. Stock res: 3264x1836 CM11 default: 3264x2448. Is this just something user configurable that I'm missing perhaps?

When using bluetooth audio, I miss either all or most of the Hangouts message chime. It seems as if there is some lag time between opening the audio channel, and being able to hear the sound being played through it. Stock rom doesn't appear to have this issue.

There seems to also be a kernel / networking related issue, where I get dropped from a PPTP VPN, if im tethering via mobile data, unless I force the MTU setting to a lower value. Since I need to be able to access my work VPN reliably, it's more of a nuisance than anything else.

Whilst I'm thinking about it. Battery life. Unfortunately I can only give a less than accurate, subjective experience, based upon my own (likely unique and inconsistent) usage patterns. With CM11, I notice that towards the end of a long day, I'm getting pretty low, and with heavy usage it can go flat before I charge it in the evening. Screen uses by far the most in battery stats. On the stock 4.4 rom, it seems to be better, but it is probably because I am using my phone less. Maybe others who have used both the NE5 stock and recent CM11 builds might feel inclined to mention if they've noticed any significant differences in battery performance between the two.

*edit* .. I almost forgot to ask. Has anyone rooted the NE5 rom yet? I've tried flashing a few different zips from recovery, which either don't work (for jflte, wrong kernel and don't boot), or just simply don't seem to do anything. Presumably the stock TW kernel has disabled root access, and this needs to be replaced, but I haven't found a stock rooted i9295 TW kernel for 4.4 yet.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Original Android Development] 6783:
Just install custom recovery via Odin (I use recovery from mythi) and then flash su. After boot open the superuser and chose to disable Knox. Made separate thread for 9225 about rooting of stock 4.4.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Original Android Development] patzyalex:
Yep, stock TW is ok, if you get rid of a lot of crap. And I mean a lot. My hands were getting tired from uninstalling and freezing Sammy bloat.

And battery life can get better after some tweaks. For which you have to be rooted. As #6783 pointed out, custom recovery + SU.zip is the way to go. I've posted this on the i9295 rooting thread as well.

But I'll be reverting to CM11 soon, I'm expecting a new "greatest and best" ROM from #allram :), hopefully he had time to implement more of those optimizations.

I, for one, don't use Hangouts, don't VPN and I'm ok with the camera resolution. There are other things at which CM is a world away from TW.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Original Android Development] allram:
Uploaded a New build yesterday with more optimizations :) trying to get 4.8 gcc's to work, they gives alot more "snappines" to the rom. But the latest feels even better than last build :D

Signal Drops

hey guys.

thanks for the nice work allram :good: the build from yesterday runs really smooth.

The only problem i have is that i get very weak cell signal, and very often the connection drops :eek:

I have also flashed the modem.bin from the UCNE4 directory of your gdrive-repository, was this wrong?

Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to fix it?

:laugh: Guys, you dont believe whats happend to me...

today i waste something around 4-5 hours of my lifetime figuring out where my cell connections problem came from.

I switched tons of different roms, modems, kernels and devices - i was about to eat my simcard, smash my phone against the wall and live on a lonely island from now on...and then it happens. I checked twitter for the lastest news about #o2 (my carrier telefonica) to figure out that my carier was the root of all my snaping problems :silly:

will flash the latest build from allram again when my carrier has solved the problems and will inform you how it works :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 Active Original Android Development] patzyalex:
Coming from the official 4.4.2, I have the UCNE5 baseband version and it's working just fine with #allram's latest. The signal drops a bar when using the "power save" performance profile, but that doesn't affect the quality of conversations or mobile data. Nevertheless, I'm sticking with the "balanced" profile, which, after assessment with CPU-Z, Rom Toolbox CPU Control and CM inbuilt performance app seems to be the most economic one, I don't know if any of you guys can confirm that.

I dirty flashed #allram's latest on top of a nandroid backup from a few days ago, when I switched to TouchWiz, and I had to rework some settings and apps, but it's all good now. It is snappy and I didn't find any problems yet. The previous CM build that I've used was #spegelius' from 03.05. I've never before flashed dirty, but time is precious. This ROM boots slower and takes more disk space than the aforementioned, dirty flashing must be the culprit. But it is snappier and it's got some new stuff in it.

Thanx again to the man from the fjords, will report if I find anything new.

Installed your version yesterday and I'm really impressed.

A few questions so far:

Is there a recommended camera app?

Time and date after boot is wrong (for a couple of seconds only bit Whatsapp complains).

Any possibility (or app) to underclock CPU in case the screen is off?

Thanks!

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9295 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 Active Original Android Development] patzyalex:
Time and date counting only stop if you shut down the phone completely. That is why configured alarms cannot be triggered if you turn off the device, as opposed to many feature phones, which can easily do it.

The CPU varies its frequency and starts/stops its cores all the time, according to the demands. All CPU manufacturers employ this function for a long time now, if they weren't - batteries would dry out in no time or consumption would be unbearable. For our particular case, the frequency range of the 4 available cores is 384 Mhz - 1.89 Ghz. You can view and modify the realtime CPU activity in System/Performance/Processor. You can add a shortcut to that in the Quick Settings Panel. Also, Developper Options/Show CPU Usage can show you the SW processes involved at any given time. There are many other apps for doing this. I use the classic CPU-Z for viewing the activity of all cores and other interesting readouts. You can be sure CPU usage drops to minimum when the screen is off. The minimum freq of one core stays at 384 Mhz, but the others can shutdown automatically according to the scaling governor. That's what I've seen.

Sent from my GT-I9295
[Galaxy S 4 Active Original Android Development] upD8R:
Thanks for the explanation, the concept of changing frequency is understood. Nevertheless I was wondering if 1,89GHz as max. is necessary for some background tasks if the screen is off. I used all the time the energy saving mode of stock TW and it gave me good results.I'm just trying to understand how this can be achieved with CM ...
[Galaxy S 4 Active Original Android Development] patzyalex:
As I see it, the power profiles in CM work exactly the same if not better than with TW. First of all, there's 3 profiles instead of 2. Also, viewing and tweaking them is available from the OS itself. Last but not least, there are a lot less default background tasks. If you need even more advanced control of your CPU, you can flash [MENTION=3876105]spegelius[/MENTION]' custom kernel or use other low level apps to cap your CPU freq/core usage in a manner that suits you. For instance, you can use Rom Toolbox Cpu Control. Or most of the other apps from Playstore beginning with "CPU", there's a ton of them :D

Modem issue

Hi there,

I flashed UCNE5 with Heimdall (Odin was not working for me) and it seems it does not work in my region - I'm only getting 2G and EDGE, no LTE, no 3G signals any longer.

I tried flashing a few other modems I found (incl. UCNE4) but baseband is still UCNE5, so fallback is impossible? Any ideas?

EDIT: after some trouble I could now flash MK3, NE4 and NE5 - unfortunately not via Odin, so I need to use Heimdall here. Nevertheless, it seems that there's some bad reception in all of them atm and at my current location. I'll stick with NE4 for now ...
[Galaxy S 4 Active Original Android Development] spegelius:
I've had problems flashing modem and wifi bins with Odin also, but Heimdall seems to work very well. So well that you can flash wrong stuff to wrong partition if not careful :). Been there, done that. Luckily reflash to proper partition fixes it.

I extracted blobs from TW KK rom and made a build with it. Seemed to work, but then i noticed that there was old files still on the system so i'm doing a clean build now. The reason for needing a clean build is because KK rom seems to have less files than previous TW roms and some of them are differently named. So to see if it even boots needs a clean build with only the KK files.

But short test with Camera for example was encouraging, video res change didn't produce crap results and HDR didn't crash the camera. But it was a short test so it might be a fluke. Oh and the video recording res change seems to be working on SlimKat also and it uses old blobs... i wonder if flashing the NE5 rom with Odin updated something :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Active Original Android Development] olarf:
Sound promissing, I'm excited to test it once you upload it. I guess a clean flash will be needed then and if the cam bugs are gone than as it seems, you should be able to get official status finally :)

I also just test if I can switch now to HDR as I also flashed ne5 modem with Odin but it don't work (allrams last cm11 build). So the modem seems to don't make the trick.
