Thanks for confirming IR is working again.

The distorted loud sound issues also seems to be fixed. During the first call I received after flashing today's build the first ring was loud and distorted, after that the sound level dropped and everything is fine now. During incoming calls after that the sound level was also fine at first ring.

Regarding the missing apps at boot I'm baffled, never seen that happen in all the years I use Android.

Are the apps totally un-installed or just not showing up in launcher?

Can you name a few off the apps that are missing after booting.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaTrED_:
Some thing again with today's build : every reboot, same app missing - Sky Force 2014.

Gonna test RRs...

Apps are totally uninstalled. The shortcut in the home screen launcher is still there, but when i tap it, it says that the app is not installed...

Some apps that are flashscore, tennis 3D, radio fm, and some other apps that i think they are only available in my country.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] troullis2004:
For me, crazy taxi and xda app gets totally uninstalled after reboot. I have no clue what's wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
It's very possible that the app isn't uninstalled at all.

Yesterday I wanted to make a call and I selecting the phone shortcut I had the same "app not installed" error. Also the app was no where to be found in the app drawer.

After a reboot (I didn't do anything else) the shortcut worked again and the app was back in the app drawer. I rebooted at least 5 times since then and the problem never came back.

Have you tried to reboot again after the missing apps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kofe:
No, i haven't. But it shows in the play store that they are uninstalled... Will try next reboot :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FlanjeUK:
Zero issues at all for me, ran yesterdays build for almost 24 hours with no RR or any missing apps, todays build the same. Perfect :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kofe:
Just tried : after 1st reboot, exactly the same apps were gone. After 2 nd reboot, still no sign of them. In play store they are still uninstalled... :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Sorry to hear that, I have absolutely no idea why that's happening :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] der_Kief:
same problem here....

After reboot some apps or games are missing. In play store they are uninstalled. After installing them again and a new reboot

apps and games are uninstalled again !

Is it possible that this is a problem of ART ? (Will try to go back to Dalvik)

--EDIT--

no problem with ART. Problem also exist with Dalvik !

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] oildale:
When I had apps disappearing it was because I would zip align my apps in whichever tweaking app I had installed at the time. I could of course just reinstall them and they would work fine, but if I did a zip align again, the same ones would vanish again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Just to report everything is running absolutely peachy here :good: no reboots or any other issues since updating kernel after released build yesterday :highfive:

I'm running Kantjers settings in stweaks with the following changes:

Alucard/slim/slim/alucard - fiops/fiops/noop/noop - sched_mc=0 - ext read ahead = 2560 - int read ahead = 512 - dynamic fysync = on

Like I say, it's working great for me, thanks Kantjer :highfive:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I'm going to give them a try :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] vt0r:
So far so good on today's build. The reboots were much fewer after the first kernel release yesterday, but still occasionally happened until I changed sched_mc to 0, and they seem to have stopped afterwards (coincidence?).

Today, I'm running with my modified version of extreme_battery, including all undervolting and now with sched_mc=0 , and I have no issues to report as of yet. Will edit this post after the work day is over to report how today goes.

EDIT - No RRs all day!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaTrED_:
And after that could you please set another value to sched_mc, say 1(?), in order to see if that causes a RR (i'm using =1)?

I've been evaluating all opinions posted so far from different users in order to reach some kind of conclusion, even though that doesn't explains the missing apps issue...

I flashed it an hour ago and it messed up my whole phone, lost WiFi, calendar sync... :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaTrED_:
Negative mate! The only betas that my phone sees are slim gapps...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Regarding SuperSU, there really is no point in updating it after 2.00 as chainfire himself has said that there will be no updates to binaries for kk after this release, all is in preparation for L.

2.00 works perfect for me, I won't consider updating until android LOL :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Problem is I don't have 2.0 any more, I'm using 2.02 and that's having an upgrade bug (asking for new binaries at every ROM flash) 2.04 beta was suppost to fix that.

If anyone has the 2.0 zip lying around, please send me a PM :fingers-crossed:

EDIT: on the positive side, It gave me an opportunity to test my backups again :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaTrED_:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
As a test I just a restore of my oldest back (3 days old) made using the 20/8 ROM. After the restore I removed the data/.alucard folder and did an upgrade to today's build.

Still no sign of lost apps after boot.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Thats because KT isn't updated for the new source code yet, his most recent kernel is was released almost 6 weeks ago.

AFAIK you have the option of using Stock CM, Alucard V2 or Googy-Max3 Kernels
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] munichsfinest:
Ok thanks, I already thought so... As ktoonsez is not able to do something new for another month or so, I'll have to think of some alternative. I'm just a bit anxious as the 28.08. build caused my phone to shut down over night and so it didn't wake me in the morning. Lucky that my inner clock is so precise that I woke up by myself at exactly the time the phone would have woken me, on the minute :D

to all who have problems with missing apps.

Check settings in app configuration. There is an option "deactivate app movement" (<- dont know exactly because i have german language!)

After i changed that setting no more problems with missing apps for me.

Try that. Maybe thats also the solution for you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I have that option also enabled, and no missing apps.

I'm on stock kernel now, i kept loosing my BT connection in the car.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] der_Kief:
Loosing BT connection with stock kernel or with Alucard kernel ?

I'm asking because i also have trouble with BT connection in my car (in fact you didnt read my post back)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
BT issues with Alucard.

I will be leaving by car in about 30 minutes, than I can test if stock kernel improves things.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] der_Kief:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
No BT issues on stock kernel. On Alucard the connection was dropped evey few minutes. Just made a short 20 minutes drive, the connection was stable.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] der_Kief:
That sounds good .... these BT issues are very annoying
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
For me it's more then annoying, having a stable BT connection is a must. I think that at least for now I will release the ROM with stock kernel. Everybody can than flash whatever they like. When everything is stable again I can always go back.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] der_Kief:
On a serious note, personally i dont feel a big difference between stock and alucard kernel ( i'm not a benchmark wh*re :) )

so

i

stay with stock kernel and dont have various issues..... but everyone must decide this himself
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
I've always been a stock kernel fan.

For me, they always just seem work "out of the box", and you don't need to worry about changing parameters here and there in order to get things to work as you want.

Don't get me wrong, Alucard, Googy, KT etc all do tremendous work and work extremely hard on giving us so much choice for custom kernels, but for me too much tweaking can also be a bad thing (eg. mpdecision hotplugging etc)

I think its an excellent idea to start releasing this ROM with the stock kernel, leaving it to the end user to choose a custom kernel of their own choice if required. Dan for example releases his CM ROM with the custom kernel, and there are never any issues with it, and on his GPE ROM he used to release with KT and Googy, but now releases with stock kernel.

In all my time on the S2 and now on the S4, I dont recall ever really noticing a WOW difference after installing any new kernel to be honest. Ok, if you REALLY understand the ins-and-outs of it all (and I for one most certainly do not), you may be able to squeeze a little more out of the battery, and get it a touch smoother by tweaking, but for me, are any "gains" really THAT much over stock kernels? Perhaps its due to my limited knowledge on how the kernel works, but I've never noticed this. I'm not saying other people don't get big gains, but for me certainly, any gains would have been extremely marginal.

The biggest battery saver is the user getting to grips with how to optimally configure the various rom options, use "smart" apps like Greenify, Llama, Tasker etc, and to limit background tasks, wakelocks etc. to a minimum.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Yep, stable as rock here :)

Done a little testing with Bluetooth and haven't run into any stutter period, however I do seem to get an occasional kind of screech - that's probably a bit dramatic, it lasts about a second and sounds a bit like a scratched record, like I say it's occasional and by no way a deal breaker, I can live with it.

I wonder what the kernel built with Christopher's linaro will be like though???

No hurry though Kantjer, like I say, this set up is very very nice for me now. The best build always come just before the release of major new android versions, soon we will be back to bug city again lol.

Well I decided to grab an S5 so that I can give my S4 to a friend who recently lost hers. (An easily made justification to get a new phone, I'll admit it.) Unfortunately this means no more SlimSaberKat for me. Thanks for all the hard work kantjer. SSK has easily been the best rom for any phone that I've used thus far.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Of course - that's the fun of android :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I have uploaded SlimSaberKat-jflte-stock_4.4.4-20140829

It's the same as yesterdays released test ROM only with stock CM kernel.

For me the stock CM kernel is running stable for the last 14 hours.

Now the stock ROM doesn't have a lib/modules folder containing the kernel modules any more there is no difference between the ROM with integrated Alucard kernel or flashing the ROM with stock CM kernel and Alucard or any other kernel afterwards.

I won't be home for 2 weeks starting the end off the coming week so next build need to be a stable ROM, it will need to last until I'm back to build a new release (hopefully I'm back in time for stable 8 ;))

EDIT: browsed the Googy-Max3 Kernel thread and I also saw users reporting random reboots there. It appears none of the custom kernels based on the new source are stable at this time.

Hello everybody,

I came two days ago from the official build to SSK. Crazy thing, except some BT disconnects with my car radio (just one time at the very beginning) I do have no issues with stabilities or any BT audio farts or stuttering. This is the very first time ever since I'm using a non stock ROM. Of course I had to set the profile settings like described in my signature...but then no more stutterings. The a2dp priority increasement seems to be the solution?

Reference to my posted problem:
