[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] leekg:
I had landed into deeper problems???????While flashing

Ever since I upgrade from rom140 to rom142 my BA just soft reset when I am using the internet through wifi. At other times while using other programs applications the soft reset by itself still recurred though not as often and definite as when I am using internet with wifi.

I tried to upgrade to WM5(with the hope that this problem may be solved) and the same thing happened. Thereafter I downgrade it to rom140 hoping that my problem is solved..It is not solved either...

I also reflash with rom140.rom142 and wm5....the self resetting still happened. I also tried hard resetting to no avail

Just wondering whether I should be taking it to the O2 service centre for assistance or whether from some past experience someone may have some insight into the cause of this self reseting..Is it a hardware or the software problems?????? Just wondering whether it may be battery supply or battery connection problems?????

For my immediate use in the meantime I have recently bought another BA and upgraded it to rom142 and this new BA is OK

Any info or assistance will be greatly appreciated...thanks in advance

A thought crossed my mind ie. to swap the battery between my 2 Blue Angels as a form of troubleshoot.....wish me luck.......

If the above failed hopefully someone who may encountered the same problem b4 may shed some light....
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] bliiink:
hi,

from your story it looks like its a hardware problem. why dont you go to o2 and repair it, or just ask for a replacement.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] leekg:
BA soft reset by itself

u r absolutely right it is the battery problem...I used the battery from my new BA and the problem is solved.......
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] bliiink:
so what r u going to do with the spare ba?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] leslie lee:
I m using one on rom 142 n the other on wm5. one will be used for gps,etc....

Hey [MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION], glad to see you on a solo project on our s4. Does this include your themed apps? One question...why do you use Supernexus as a base? I mean, it was a one shot rom, not updated for long time (never used it though). What about brood AOSP?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Exactly what I was thinking, anyways, it's his decision what rom to use as base :cowboy:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
I did see your code base after I'd already forked Supernexus. Though, I chose Supernexus because it has multiple device support (mainly S3 and S4, which I own). Looking through the manifest, most of it is AOSP with a few items from CyanogenMod (kernels, etc) so this is now more up to date than Supernexus anyway.

If you don't mind me pinching commits that provide fixes in the future (with credits in my commits, etc) then that'd be cool :D

EDIT:

It seems like we have pretty similar aims ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iDpC1:

i flashed your rom a while ago, here are my suggestions:

1. please follow this theme: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2634743 :D

2. please do not show Rom control app in app drawer because it is already in the settings app. :silly:

3. more features :victory:

4. imo, it's better to use up and down arrow instead of U and D in data connectivity? :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Hi,

1. I will look into that. I'm still in favour of #33b5e5, personally.

2. I considered this also. I think you are right.

3. Features are planned (check the to-do list) :)

4. I agree. There are already icons for up, down and up and down as per OmniROM's original implementation. I can add a secondary style like you mentioned later :) I also want to enable a different colour for up and down text.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
I'll look into the white stuff for the future. If I can do it with VRTheme and little or no Java alterations then I could see it being included as an optional mod.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Deleted member 5638945:
hehe thank you :) be sure to follow that guide because it has the most biggest implementation of white color :D thank you ;) will wait for this rom, will stick to g.e. first hehe
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Zeggi:
When connecting MHL adapter/cable the phone freezes and after 5 seconds it reboots. Sad, really sad since the rom is awesome.

I even tried with stable and latest boeffla kernel, same result.

ROMHut is free and offer a great free service. There's no obligation to subscribe at all, I'm just helping to raise awareness. I've been able to rely on ROMHut for almost 2 years, so posting about this is the least I could do.

Just like kernel devs, I think our hosts are often overlooked ;)

[MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION], do you have plans to make this unified for all JFLTE devices?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
I do indeed!

Just finding my feet here, but currently I think it's pretty much an easy job. I know CyanogenMod has unified the jf trees, so it can't be hard.

And, being honest, currently this version has some CDMA stuff included that shouldn't be for EU/Intl devices, so if you ahve a US variant and you're willing to try, please do so. The kernel is universal, AFAIK, so I think the only harm that came come is it not booting (meaning you could reflash a working ROM in that event).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DylanTheVillian:
I already modified the updater script to remove the device check, I need to downgrade my recovery it keeps failing on twrp 2.7.0.1, then I will let you know :)

Did you make sure to unmount /cache? I use TWRP 2.7.0.1 myself!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Also, there is a bug in them Email app. It's my fault. I forgot to change something back when theming the Mms app (they share a library) So I'm fixing that as soon as possible, but I'm having to rebuild, which is taking time.

In the meantime, you can use my themed copy:

Still wouldn't flash on 2.7.0.1, but it flashed fine with TWRP 2.5.0.2 and cache unmounted.

Thread cleaned

Enough of this. The ROM is free and is fully functional.

Don't want to use it, fine! DO not post here and move on!

From what I see a different set of icons was passed onto existing donators and were never promised such to entice donations

If the OP was offering additional features or functionality if you donate then that would be against the rules

If you wish to discuss this with the OP, do so privately.

DO NOT disrupt the development threads

Don't make me become "Unfriendly"

Welcome to the s4 forum, I hope your tin foil hat is on tight, its a rough ride in here (that argument was unbelievable)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaGii:
Hey, i really like the Rom. :) A little better than dan's for me.

But I have a few ideas for your Rom:

1. Option to disable low battery and charging LED

2. Option for expandable volume menu

3. Maybe option to hide icons from launcher... 'cause ROM Control icon isnt necessary when it's already build in settings app. :

Thank u very much :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
No problems on the suggestions. Always welcome.

1. What happens if you set the colour to #00000000? Just as a make-shift idea. I can add this option *writes on list*

2.That's on my list already :)

3. I can see about the hiding option, but ROMControl no longer has a launcher icon as of the next release.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hugoglezp:
Would it be possible also to add an option to set backlights allways on?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Probably :) I think such an option exists for the S3, right?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaGii:
Tried 1 and it worked.

Thanks for your answers and your great work :)

Antoher question:

Is it safe to install KT-Kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
It sure is! the AOSP version, of course.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaGii:
Thank you.

After installing the KT Kernel, i often got problems that my devices touch screen does not work after it was locked. :/

Do u have a flashable .zip for the kernel of this Rom?

I also get this problem with danvdh's Rom. :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
I noticed this myself too. I wasn't sure it was the KIT kernel... oddly enough it's not happened since I was using the CM kernel.

Here's the stock kernel. You can flash it in the "Performance" app :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaGii:
Thank you.

I thought that it was my fault. -.-'

I installed the Kernel now, but Wi-Fi does not work... Hopefully you also have a solution for this :D

It's a mess :D

As long as it isn't the fault of your Rom... I'll ever stay with it. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
That sounds like the NON-HLOS stuff from the modems ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] atlharp:
Has this been abandoned already? :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Nope! I'm just pretty busy with University. I use my SGS4 daily, which runs this ROM, so it is very much at the forefront of any development I do.

I have some stuff done that could be released as an update fairly soon, if I'm honest. I'm just chasing down a nasty bug on the SGS3 version and I intended to release both together, again.

I don't have the changelog on me, but I've done:-

Fixed the timeout for triggering the torch on the lockscreen and the long press back to kill mods. No more accidently triggering the torch when turn on the screen

Simiarly fixed an issue with the network monitor timeout, on larger intevals, it should time out accordingly and not flicker on and off as much

Added expanded volume controls, as an optional toggle

Added Circle Battery from CM, optionally, with colour controls.

Added custom items for the volume buttons media changes. Play, Pause, Stop, Forward and Backwards

And more, but I can't remember what they are
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] CommanderROR:
Just one brief question: Does this have a fully functional camera? Cyanogen still has non-functional HDR and no Photosphere...

GPE was fine, but the latest release (28.03.) had severe battery drain for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Yes, the camera is fully functional, including HDR (but only on the SGS4, it is not in the SGS3 ROM)

There is no open source Photosphere. This is a Google closed source propitiatory feature. AFAIK, it's not been ported. If you need/want Photosphere, you can use one of the hacked Google Camera's from the SGS4 GPE or Nexus 4/5. Those include Photosphere, but can be unstable.

It does, of course, include panorama.

EDIT:

Focal includes Photosphere, which can be downloaded from the Play Store.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
HDR?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] CommanderROR:
Great. Thanks.

It was in the CM11 ROM as well, but the reults were dismal. I'll give it a go. Currently playing with OmniRom but already disliking the Samsung look and feel...^^
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] CommanderROR:
[MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION]

I'm rather cross with you right now... ;)

I just installed your ROM, onsly to realize that HDR is not working at all. If I take a pic it comes out as plain black. That was a problem with all early AOSP ROMs on the Galaxy S4 i9505. It appears it still has not been fixed...

Have you actiually tried taking any pictures with your S4 on Ultima ROM (with HDR mode)?

There is some type of device check on the ROM that makes it fail in installation. I would like to try this, but this seems to be an issue.
