Thanks for the clarification, wasn't aware of such fact.

I'll go ahead and test the posted ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] orky87:
Do it it's all running really well again and it's been a while getting to v7.0.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] diegolopez10:
Excellent!!

I've installed the posted version with the camera fix. Did a full wipe before installing.

It's been a couple of hours and have had zero issues, of course, camera is working as expected.

Excellent work...
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
Thank you guys for the feedback but for now im gonna leave it as it is for this week. And i have found the problem with the previous

4 ptaches that were causing the camera problem. Im gonna do a test build and see if its working properly before merging the pacthes

with Slimroms Github for the next Weeklies
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] diegolopez10:
Sounds good to me

Terrific battery life by the way, simply amazing

SlimKat Build 7.0 UNOFFICIAL 20140806-0824

Camera freezes by continuously switching between Cam and Rec if TrueView enabled.

Log attached, taken while TrueView disabled then enabled:

SlimKat Build 7.0 UNOFFICIAL WEEKLY-6004

Camera FC immediately clean flash ROM only. Dirty flashing over unofficial v7.0 the Cam works fine even with TrueView enabled.

Build-in SuperUser is not working had to flash SuperSU instead.

Phone heats up really fast, simply by having the screen on...battery quickly affected even by UV to 1200Mhz!

BTW does anyone have a copy of 4.4.2 build 4 or 5 by any chance?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Th3DON:
Hi, am using 7.0 weekly build..

I have camera not working..

Does anybody know how to adjust the vibration intensity?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
Im just uploading a new test build now it might take an hour for the build to finish uploading

But for now apply this one ....Dirty flash and it will fix ur camera issue

MegaDownload
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] orky87:
Just want to add to the above that by switching between front and rear crashes the cam also.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
Okay cool im uploading a test build before the weeklies start building so just give it about an hour will have a link for u to test

Enabling TrueView and switching from Rec to Cam still locks up the cam leading to a wait/close prompt and sometimes reboots the phone. This happens only when switching from Rec to Cam but not the other way around.

Switching from Front to Rear also locks up the app again leading to a wait/close prompt and sometimes reboots the phone. This happens regardless of TrueView enabled or disabled.

Both scenarios taken on STOCK everything including KERNEL settings.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
Hey man are u using the Stock camera or the Google Camera ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] orky87:
Stock Camera app the one that's included, however I've also tried Vignette at some point and tried switching between front and rear to see if I could trigger a lock-up or a freeze and I couldn't.

I'm almost sure that Front and Rear mode was working fine on stock app up until enabling TrueView>lock-up>reboot. After the initial lock up Front and Rear started to freeze up also or maybe it's just a coincidence but to me it just feels like TrueView breaks something.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
I was speaking with one of the slim guys as I have never used the true view so I need a second opinion, so the answer I got was our camera is the issue for now I would advise u to turn it off and just use ur camera as normal. Until the device tree is fixed properly not a lot of things will work properly. On my side at the moment I have this annoying problem I have when u try to do a manually network selection, which doesn't work and I have tried everything humanly possible to get it to work but I'm not winning....

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Gboss01:
I haven't tried any AOSP ROMs in long and I noticed Slim was on v7 and decided to try it out since yesterday.

My findings:

Battery life is decent, I got 14 hrs today with 2h40m screen time. Not quite as good as TW but getting there, its way better than the last time I tried.

Battery only lost 5% overnight, before I would lose 15-25% overnight on idle. On TW I'll lose between 1 and 3% overnight.

Played some Fifa14 - no lags but phone did get quite hot. On TW ROMS the phone does get warm but not hot like this.

Ran Antutu v5Beta1 hit just under 30K - which isn't too bad compared to TW where I'll get a shade over 32K.

Used Google Maps on Sunday and the GPS locked position very fast.

Camera works great no FC's. Although I prefer using the lenovo camera app as the picture quality seems better than the one that comes with the ROM.

And most impressive was my QR Scanner app works well. On every other CM based ROM I have tried it doesn't work. Being able to read QR barcodes is something I use all the time when testing labels for new parts etc.

I might just keep this ROM for a while :D

I must commend [MENTION=5485368]BlaqueDroid[/MENTION] for his hard work and dedication to the AOSP scene, this ROM has come along way since I last tested it.

Well done bud, making SA proud!

Best way to install to not recieve the camera bug?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
Just do a dirty flash from v6 to 7.0 and the camera will continue working but at the moment the the 7.0 officially weekly has the camera problem and 7.2 should be out today with the camera fixed but u can be using this one instead

https://mega.co.nz/#!fUIn3QIa!8gyV_KfhJ7682TdJMnHk4JYevCdH6sQWIUy1v03cWYw
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] anuraagkochar:
are there any bugs except for camera ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] orky87:
Yeah I see what you mean just an empty list with nothing to select. Has it been like this on v5.0/v6.0 or is this a recent bug?

This must be the upcoming fix for the Cam then, finally!

i9500 updates:

Remove deprecated defines,Move camera ID file to sane location,Set correct pixel format for recovery,enable eject sdcard, i9500: Add audio.r_submix.default for casting
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
Yeap the camera has been fixed on the 7.2 and the manual network selection bug is a an RIL issue and device overlays but eventually i will figure it out
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
The usual which are the random call issues but overall the rom is now awesome
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Kamigiri:
Is 7.2 out? I can't find it on the website.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
Its not out yet Jerkins is still building and it should be out later today or tommoro morning
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] orky87:
Have any of you tried this?

Can't remember the last time I had a call issue after flashing this radio... It has solved all call issues for me anyway!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
That is the modem i have so far and no call issues
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] diegolopez10:
Cheers

7.2.1 is out, downloading...

Update...

Downloaded and dirty flashed from [MENTION=5485368]BlaqueDroid[/MENTION]'s 7.0 with camera fix. Will test throughout the day, everything seems to be fine
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] anuraagkochar:
Whats the way to flash 7.2 to make sure camera is working?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
Do a Clean Flash and let me know if everything is working
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] orky87:
Enabling TrueView now has no negative effect on Cam/Rec function as it did before but, the lock-up about front/rear cam mode is still apparent...

Edit: Clean flash, stock kernel!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] diegolopez10:
Battery drain...

Hey guys, how's your battery life lately?

Mine is bad, I'm not able to get through a day without charging twice (or even more).

Previously it would last from early morning until the evening when I got home. I think the phone is not going into deep sleep.

Not a complain, because I have dirty flashed the past couple of times, I have to do a clean install and check again. But just thought of asking how is yours?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] orky87:
No the battery hasn't been great especially on last few builds as the phone did get very hot even during idle.

So I went searching and ended up with MaxFour GT-I9500 v14 kernel. Underclocked it to 1000Mhz/ondemand/noop and installed Greenify along with Deep Sleep Battery Saver to counter battery drain. I'd always take battery life over performance any day of the week and it's plenty fast still.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ice.modding:
with all chinese modem work or not?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] orky87:
100% nothing to worry about go for it but make sure you have CWM recovery before flashing then once done you can use TWRP if that's what you have currently.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] anuraagkochar:
Is the camera working in the latest version?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
Yeap the Camera is working man but dont forget to flash the chinese modem posted above for the call issues
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] afaquekhaja:
What benefit does flashing the Chinese modem has? Is it a fix for those who are unable to call or is it a fix for the call quality bug?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
It fixes the call quality bug
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] yuzgen:
Settings - Security - Privacy guard - (From menu, "Show built-in apps") - Long press Google Play services and Google Services Framework) - Disable "keep awake" in both of them
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] TheSinister:
SOUND!!

The sound quality is very distorted. When I increase the volume, it gets worse. At the max volume, it's seriously very bad.

I'm using RomSwitcher. The original ROM is TouchWiz 4.4.2. Second is SlimKat 4.4.4 Build 7.4. The call quality wasn't very good so I flashed this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51737008&postcount=3154. The call quality is good, but the sound of the other person with whom I'm talking, is very less. But, the main problem, the sound!! It's the only thing that degrades the ROM. Otherwise, the ROM is totally fabulous :laugh: . I like every feature of the ROM. Everything's working fine except for the Video; It's working, but when when I play the video, it(the video) hangs and moves to another part of video, like the buffer is moving but the video's stopped and only displays fragments. The sound is the main issue.

And I have another question. Uh, can a Samsung app work in an AOSP ROM? Because I seriously like the Samsung's Music app... :angel:
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] diegolopez10:
Very good, daily driver

So, I did a clean install of 7.2.1 about a week ago, and the battery drain issue I posted about is gone. I can get through a day with my normal use, which is about the same I got with TW. The phone seems to be entering deep sleep mode as it should, so no complains here.

I have yet to try 7.4, since I'm quite happy with 7.2.1

[MENTION=5485368]BlaqueDroid[/MENTION]

Heard of Sabermod toolchain? It gives better performance and possibly battery life? Have you considered implementing this into slimkat?

:o
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] orky87:
I'm sure BD is aware of SabreMod but none of the official SlimKat builds have it so there must be a reason why it's not being used. Hopefully BD will answer your question with a better explanation as I would also like to know.

How do I access the task switcher?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] diegolopez10:
I myself, have it as a shortcut in the notification drawer, that works for me... I also think you can change the behavior of the hardware buttons (home and soft keys) to show it when you long press for example.

To add it as a shortcut, go to Settings > interface > Notifications and QS Drawer > Shortcuts > Slim Actions > Recents

I'll add some screenshots to show you how it looks to me...
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Ironwrung:
Hey, thanks for the tip! I prefer long pressing the home button, its more convenient for me plus its what I'm used to, the setup is now complete! :)

Edit: Daaaamn!! It took me just 5minutes to discover why the long press home button for recents comes disabled by default!! As soon soon as I enabled that option, the batt drained from 80%->48% within a period of less than 10minutes!!!!! Wah, I've never seen anything like that. When I check the battery monitor, system_server appear to be the culprit because it shows a massive battery usage
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
Hey man.....Im aware of the toolchain and have tried it out however it is the same with the Linaro toolchain though but i will try to compile one for u and u can try it and give feedback. What do u think ?

S view cover support?

Hey BlaqueDroid, excellent work, ROM is working great.

Wanted to ask, will the recently added CM support for the S view cover be added to Slimkat? I noticed the screen turns on and off when the lid is closed/open, but other than that, I see nothing in the window when the lid is closed.

Thanks, keep up the great work
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
Will push the S-Veiw Cover support as soon as i get time this week
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] diegolopez10:
Cool, thanks for the confirmation.

No hurries :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Anubhav Agrawal:

Can anyone tell me how the following are on this Rom? :

Call quality

Bluetooth headset calls

Lag when opening camera

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] diegolopez10:
Might not bet that helpful, but here are my 2 cents...

Call quality is good, no outstanding issues, not from my side nor the receiver's side. No weird echo or anything to complain about (haven't changed radios)

I don't use a Bluetooth headset, so no opinion there, however I do use Bluetooth, paired to my SW2, no disconnects at all

Camera lag when opened, I'd say it's acceptable for me, it takes 1-2 seconds to take the first picture

I guess you need to try the ROM yourself, and see if you like it, personally, it's the best out there, the most stable I've tried, my daily driver since a couple of months ago
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] croach246:
I still have issues every so often with camera. I get the "failed to connect to camera" error. Previously I would use the restart camera app, however this is not working on this rom. I have to restart each time this happens. Does anyone have any insight into this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] wajahebat:
I was same like you back in the day when i was a heavy gamer, i tried every available mods out there, the only one that works flawlessly is, without using any mods, or custom kernel. Just my opinion, much of init.d tweak doesnt work well sometimes especially when it involved kernel parameters (which every mods used now). Its better to work with custom kernel, made a special tasker for your gaming settings. I dont use this rom anymore, does this rom includes Tasker profiles?

Try extract Camera2.apk from previous nightly release or any release that the camera works, replace with the one ure using rite now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] croach246:
[MENTION=5090984]wajahebat[/MENTION]

I will try this, however I also have Google camera apk and this gives me the same error making me think it's not the camera app, but rather the communication between camera app and camera itself
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] wajahebat:
Wait for next nightlies then. Have you tried Wipe Cache & Dalvik ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] rohanchrome:

View cover support?

HI [MENTION=5485368]BlaqueDroid[/MENTION],

I've got two questions/asks/requests for you, for this ROM to be absolutely amazing... more than it currently is :D

- Can S-View support be fully merged? I know in latest CM versions they have "full" S-View cover support :o

- About the charging animation when the phone is off, there's no indication that the phone is charging, can this be fixed? Also, when charging the phone while off, I always have a hard time turning it on, I have to disconnect the phone from the charger and press the power button for 15-20 seconds for the phone to turn on.

Thanks for your hard work in getting the ROM where it is.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
Hey guys im sorry for the silence lately just been busy with family maters, anyways the sview cover however has been merged however the slim framework hasnt been updated yet thats why it isnt working properly and with the Battery charging animation i have it working already and i will push the changes for the next weekly
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] diegolopez10:

Amazing battery life

Hey all, I'm getting what I think is the best battery life ever with weekly 8.4,dirty flashing since stable 8 btw.

I am quite happy with 8.4,it's more stable, if that's even possible ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ben3003:
I just jumped to slimkat 9.4. Everything looks great, smoother than touchwiz interface, but need time to get use to everything :) But I had a issue here,something with the camera apps, even try installing other camera apps also the same. When i locked the phone orientation, normally i take landscape oriented photo, so i rotate the phone, but the camera interface did not rotate, and the photo came out is in portrait orientation instead of landscape. Meaning to say, the auto orientation doesnt work in the camera apps. If previous samsung camera apps, even if you locked the auto orient at phone, the camera apps will still rotate. Any ways to solve this other than to unlock the auto-orient everytime i wanted to take a photo? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] yunior597:
how do i change the resolution?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] diegolopez10:
You can change with an app, or by manually modifying the build prop file, located on root / system, called build.prop, I think the tag is called lcd_density or something like that...

Sent from my GT-I9500
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] yunior597:
name of the app?

Our I9500 has a stable release???? Anyway, I don't know whether it has been mentioned before or not because I'm not a long time follower of the I9500 threads but my question; does the I9500 support usb on the go on aosp roms or not? I didn't test mine while I was on stock rom so I'm not sure whether S4 has that feature at all, I only tested it recently while I was on slim. I tried google but I'm not getting useful results, someone please shed a light on that issue
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] rohanchrome:
Is the smart cover display going to be merged?

Cause the smart cover glitches for me and gets stuck on the sview on other ROMs. I was wondering if it was going to be implemented in slimkat or not?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Droidcore:
Hi [MENTION=5485368]BlaqueDroid[/MENTION] you can build slim sabermod?

Take your time :) Im only ask :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
The smart cover has been implemented on the device tree and Slim guys needs to update the slim framework and it should work fine, so you will have to be patient on that one
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BlaqueDroid:
I will try to compile that one and see if theres any difference now coz about 2 months back i compiled a test build and i didnt see any difference thats i didnt bother with slabermod but will compile another build for people who want it though

I seem to have a problem with Bluetooth on my car's hands-free. It pairs correctly - I can play music and make phone calls. The problem comes from receiving phone calls. When someone calls me, the phone rings and when I answer, there's no audio at all either way - I can not hear the other party and they can not heaŕ me. When I phone them, all is okay (only bad voice quality). Any suggestions?

Overall a very nice ROM!
