As per my understanding Kies will only work with unrooted stock rom. I would recommend that you follow the tutorial provided earlier to extract the baseband from the firmware (for your region) and flash it via odin. Alternatively if you are ready to take a risk you may flash the entire firmaware via odin and try rooting once again.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] lijoc:
I did it my downloading the firmware and flashing it thru Odin. Didn't try kies..

And kies only works with boot locked and uprooted roms.

Do we know if with 4.4.2 Rom S4 Active will support Ant+ ? Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] a2441918:
Its because S4 Active has video recording issues in CM. Spegelius will come out with a fix ASAP.

I am having an issue with the messaging app with the latest update, as it gives a FC whenever a message is received. The sender gets the delivery confirmation but the message is not shown. I have tried wiping the cache and data for mms and phone messaging without any luck, any suggestions

I personally like the Carbon ROM, how different is the SOKP rom from this one, does it all all the features in this ROM and more.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] a2441918:
1. There is no same kind of issue from other users as for now, So I request you to reflash your rom. Do a clean flash.

2. Carbon and SOKP are completely different. In SOKP we have implemented many features not available in Carbon. Stay tuned for the next version with more amazing features ;);););)

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] a2441918:
Video recording works now, Try doing a clean flash.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Toncino:
I already asked this, but I prefer asking it again. To update froma previous build of Carbon, do you ave to backup apps\system data? Or you just flash it without clearing\formatting and all the data will be preserved? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] a2441918:
Just flash if u want ur data to be preserved. Or do a clean wipe and install.

Hi guys.

I'm new here, just bought S4 Active (I9295) a month ago. I used to own HTC One S, but it died.

I found this ROM very nice, wandering about installing it.

Does it have any bugs? (Last version, May 3rd)

Is it fully compatible with Hebrew? I saw some update on it in the last version changelog.

Can this ROM be updated through OTA update?

Last one,

Can I go back to the original 4.2.2 ROM?

Thanks a lot !! :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] a2441918:
Yes it is compatible with hebrew. and no ota updates

Yes u can flash 4.2.2 rom but u need to follow a special procedure as ur phone has a new bootloader.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] oori002:
Thanks for the answer!

I thought I just need to flash custom recovery (CWM) and then install the custom ROM through the custom recovery. Where is the part of changing the bootloader?

Is there any tutorial (or just some explanation) for downgrading back to the stock ROM?

Sorry for the noobie questions :o

I only have sometimes trouble with my connectivity.

Is the ota function only for official carbon, or why i have to flash the updates?

And i want to OC my CPU. Could i use a other kernel? Or will you support OC by time?

Custom Access Point Names

Hi all,

I notice a bug which seems to be present at least since the V6 version. For my mobile data connection I have to add a APN (I use Lebara.fr) and neither on the V6 nor the current version (18.05.) the data connection establishes. It worked on the sammy rom, so I suppose it is a bug with the Carbon rom.

Has anyone experiences with added Mobile Network APNs?

Best wishes,

I experienced a problem using aptoide with Carbon Rom and Vanir Rom too.

I think is not app relative (since aptoide is currently working on my nexus 5).

The problem is i can't add store to aptoide. if i click on add store i was not asked how to manage the url link.

Just a browser popup appear. if i add manually it gives me error. I've tried to reset all default app but it doesn't help.

Please let me know how i can add store to aptoide.

New Carbon Rom user - with a few questions

After a long wait and much disappointment by Samsung I decided to flash a custom ROM on my S4A.

I chose this ROM and I'm pretty happy with it (flashed it yesterday... so no long term experience here...)

But a few things occurred to me and I wonder if I can get the answers here.

- Not that I'm actually missing them, but the S4A has a few nice "gesture-Jedi-like" sensors on board. Is there a way to get them to work or isn't there any practical use without the Samsung Apps?

- There are many settings which aren't translated (for me in German). I have no problem with English settings... but it would be nice to see this ROM completely in one language. Can I help? Or is it just a matter of time because you want to get this thing working 100% and then think about language?

- This ROM (up till now) works smoothly and seems to be a good alternative. Although all my other devices have CM11 on it. May be this is the wrong place to ask. And I'm sure it is, but why isn't there a good official or unofficial CM11 ROM for the S4A?

Thanks again for this great ROM keep up the good work!

Regards,

Chattanuga
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] br.ruan:
1 - I doubt such code/features exist (yet) for non-TouchWiz based ROMs, unfortunately.

2 - You should probably be talking to the Carbon devs(?) or maybe even CM devs, since it's based on CM - So all CM and CM based ROMs can get your German goodness :p. Maybe somebody here can help you out with that though.

3 - Have you tried looking in original development?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Chattanuga:
I thought so... but thats okay...

CM is fully translated... it's the Carbon part I guess... I'll check their homepage if it says something about it.

Yes I did... but that CM port is not only "unofficial" but also labeled "experimental"... It also states some bugs.

I came here for a fully functional alternative (that's why I used this ROM because it has no major bugs anymore). I'm just wondering why there is no down flow of information back to CM to make CM ROMs as feature complete as this one... But again this is a question better to ask a Carbon Dev.

C.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] br.ruan:
Probably then /:

The bug listed on the CM11 thread ("1. USB tethering doesn't seem to be working at the moment.") was present in this ROM as well. Maybe try the latest build to see if the bug persists. Almost all these ROMs use spegelius's kernel source (as far as I know).

I think it's more unofficial/experimental (as in not official) than unofficial and experimental (as in risky) by now :p
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Chattanuga:
If you say so, may be I'll give it try...

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] br.ruan:
By the way... I flashed one of the earlier CM builds a couple of weeks ago when deciding on which ROM to use, It works well. Probably should've mentioned that first...

No problem

Did not help.

I'm at GSM network.

Maybe the 4.4.4 rom is supporting only CDMA types?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] pen²:
I can confirm this problem. Full wipe, no GSM data until I went back to June 19. With later versions, I had no APNs - maybe the later versions would work if the correct apn is entered manually, but unfortunately I didn't know the correct settings,so I couldn't try myself.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] pen²:
Update: it is only an apn problem (at least no apns for German Vodafone were available). I dirty flashed 0629 from 0619 (which had correct apns) and mobile gsm data works.

So, best solution: write down your apn settings and enter them manually for the 0629 build

I've used both 16.Jun and 29.Jun versions.

Both of them are draining battery.

The top processes are as above:

System and SystemUI

I've disabled as suggested in parallel threads:

1. lock-screen notifications: Pocket mode

2. Location report

Full wipe was also done - nothing helped.

Anyone has / had this issue?

Build 04/07

With the last versions I had a few problems with wakelocks, specifially google play service. With the latest build and a full wipe my phone is finally sleeping again :) Still no apn settings and com.android.systemui is one of the highest battery consuments. Otherwise no problems so far - IR works again, GPS a charm like always. Lets see what happens when the rom settles in a few days...

I just installed version Carbon ROM CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20140704-2345-jactiveltexx.zip:

- External SD card is recognized (64GB Samsung formatted with ExFat)

- YouTube videos working

- Camera sometimes crashes

- no APN present, I have to add it manually (german Vodafone carrier)

- no carrier names were displayed, only numbers, e.g. 26202 for Vodafone) - is it a setting? Where?

- BT is working

- Haven't tested AllCast feature with my tv until now

Grinface
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Grinface:
After a few days some more notes on current build:

- Allcast doesn't work (with my tv, lg 7408)

- description of connection types is mixed up. When I choose (i.e) "TD-SCDMA/GSM/WDCMA/LTE" the result is "CDMA+LTE/EVDO". Also with other entries

- com.android.phone stop working when I switch between GSM/WDCMA/LTE and other connection types (only some types)

- battery is fine

Grinface
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] pen²:
Confirming the connection types bug - apparently all cm based roms suffer from this. Additionally, when am in a city with H+, but I only get a "G", I sometimes fiddle with the connection types and end up with "WCDMA preferred" and H+ connection. After some hours, however, I'm back at G and need to re-do switch to WCDMA preferred again.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] DiaboluZ:
Does anybody know which previous version I could re-flash to stop battery drain without a full wipe?

I tried ...20140529-0719 version but it was stuck on boot
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Grinface:
As mentioned before, the version CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20140704-2345-jactiveltexx.zip runs fine without high battery drain.

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] DiaboluZ:
Even after re-installing this ROM with a full-wipe, battery drain is still very high comparing to previous versions. Camera is constantly hanging in WhatsApp and many times in own camera app, after some errors a message "Can't connect to camera" appears, only a reboot reactivates the camera.

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] reiter123:
I use this ROM (20140704) where you have high battery drain but with a totally different experience. Coming from Stock Rom I did first had a higher battery drain than my configured / modified stock rom. WIth my stock rom I ended with batt drain in Standby in between 1.1 to 1.5 % / hour and 4% to 5%/hour in normal use.

However after configuring this ROM starting with : Governor: onDemand, only booting what is necessary, switching off mobile data/wifi if not needed, turning on battery saver configuration in ROM, I got now my absolute highscore: 0.2-0.3 %/ hour in Standby and about 3%-5%/hour if I use it

=> This ROM is great.

Thanks for providing this great rom for the S4 active :good::good::good:
