Had to charge my phone for my journey home from work so I finally got to about 1 day 8hrs on time with about 5hrs 25 mins screen on and had 12% battery left. Don't know if it's my imagination but my phone seems to lose battery more once I get below 25%, maybe it's the calibration.

Anyway the results are better than last time but I changed too much, new ROM, updated kernel, art instead of dalvik and manual brightness instead of auto so I don't really know which one had the biggest impact.

Also I just noticed in the mobile networks options I no longer have the list of gsm only etc etc it just says 3G or 4G preferred, is this a change in the ROM? At least I can put my language back to UK English from American English now to avoid the force closes in that menu.

I've noticed that xposed frameworks gives me location problems. Google Maps just can't locate my position, or it takes really long time to do that if i am using xposed...

I uninstalled xposed, and now it's all good.

I should give my phone a girl's name, because it 100% is a "she" judging by its behaviour. Going to check if it happens on repeating days every months :D

Since you didn't mention it, was it with default Alucard kernel on default profile?

That's great battery in my book. Used to get that with 4.4.2 but I haven't had that much success with 4.4.3 builds. Will get there eventually.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] __NBH__:
I clicked on extreme battery profile although I think that is still default settings ie same as default profile. I only lowered touch boost to 810mhz and 20ms, the rest is normal settings. I use greenify too although a lot of the settings that require xposed cannot be used on art but it still seems to work fine.

There's something wrong with DPI in this latest build:

The app Startup Manager has become huge and unusable.

480 DPI set.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] heatfire:
flashed latest version yesterday and after that im having a problem with chrome.. and only with chrome what i can see.. it acts like the touchscreen is badly calibrated. it dont register correctly where i press..

DPI settings got messed up also i think. text in chrome got larger then before.. tried clearing data, etc but didnt help.

So, I figured out my GSM / CDMA issue. Actually a pretty old problem.

ro.telephony.ril.v3=newDriverCallU

Just to get it posted more..

So, the current problem is that all incoming calls come in with a +

+1234567890, where as it should just be 1234567890

Anyone have any idea how to fix that?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
That's a known issue and the main reason the dpi changer was pulled from the official build at the last moment.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I will remove the "set density on the fly" in the next build.

ATM it does more harm than good.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ph3n0mII:
It works fine for me the way i've used it, i just slid it up to 480, rebooted and forgot about it, nothing is odd in any app or anywhere else

Regardless of the small issues some are having, thanks for giving us a preview of it :)

I used to just edit build.prop in the zip before a clean install, then i made a batch file to do it for me, but i can delete that now too.

4.4.4 merged into CM since June 6 :confused:

That would be a miracle, the 4.4.4 source is less than 24h old :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
No, if it was I would have put it in the change log.

There is a build issue with the current commit that the Slim team need to fix first.

I tried to merge it twice and both times it messed up my local source so badly I had to delete everything and download the whole ~20GB source again (I have a fast Internet connection, so for me that's quicker than repairing the source code manually)

I will wait until it's officially merged before I try again.

You don't even have to wipe cache and dalvik, the updater script will do that for you.

No new gapps, use either the 4.4.3 (5.8.60) released or the 5.9.70 beta (I'm using that one)

Ya I had to clean flash, looked like I had bigger then stock dpi after flashing dirty, flashed clean and all is perfect
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
You only had to set the DPI in the build.prop with something like Textdroider and reboot.

No need to do a clean install.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bejda:
Such things are only for Touchwiz's superstitious cooks ;)

Updater-script doesn't wipe cache nor dalvik-cache here.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FlanjeUK:
It definitely wipes dalvik here as I can see it being rebuilt after a dirty flash, no idea how to check the cache is wiped but I assume if one work's the other does too :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kofe:
Yupiii! Thanks!

Lockscreen notification and hover are coming, and then it'll be perfect!

Not that now it isn't :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
It wipes the system partition.. Dalvik and cache are in the system partition, so yea it does wipe them.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:

If anyone is interested I made a simple spreadsheet where you input your battery level, screen on time and phone on time and based on your current usage it estimates your total screen on time and total phone on time. Pretty simple but I find it useful to see how my phone is performing when in trying out new settings, I can upload of anyone wants it.

No matter what it is set to, if i get 2-3 messages on whatsapp one after the other, it just keep playing the notification sound for every message :(

Is it just me? Do i have to do something? I have it set on default now...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I have mine set to 30 seconds and that's working fine. If I for example connect - disconnect and connect my phone again to the charger I get only one charger connect sound.

Ohh, sorry guys, I installed an earlier version and all has gone swimmingly good :)

Now to test for a day and report back
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
That would be pointless. I think you misunderstand the setting here.

If you for example set the value to 30 seconds that means that if you receive more than one FB notification in a 30 second period you will get only one notification sound. So setting that value below 3 seconds would the same as turning the feature off completely.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Flash and boot the 20140620 ROM, set preferred DPI with Textdroider and reboot again.

That's all there is to it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] _Sofos_:
After moving from 16/6 to 20/6 build there's a noticeable difference both in speed and smoothness. Freeze free as well, at least for now (!)

The brightness level is lower in low light conditions and higher for brighter conditions than before.

Giving you better battery life in low light and better viability out in the sun.

Is there anyway to tweak incoming call settings?

My calls all come in without a leading 1..

It's something to do with an international setting, but I don't see any of those settings..

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Zoot Allures:
Yeah, I felt it in outdoor use (it was sunny today), a bit hard to read but since the S4 was always hard to read outdoor even with full brightness.

It lags a bit indoor too. Didn't had the time to try to tweak that a bit.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ahoslc:
Ya I think they are a bit extreme now I don't know what to do because indoor it's way to low now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] David_cole:
If you don't like it... Just turn off auto brightness and set your own values.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Zoot Allures:
Hi,

No problem, cut it off (that's what I do when needed) or go to Settings etc. and try increase some values until you reach a comfort zone for you. Take example on the link posted by Kantjer a couple of posts ago.

But indeed, without special/extra battery saving settings in Stweaks, it's quite nice. I went to work this morning with about 80% juice level and there's 45% left right now.

EDIT: but as I said, I haven't used the phone today, not as much as I used to (very good LTE coverage in my neighbourhood). Anyway, it's a good average.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I have made a comparison between the profile included in the ROM and your's. This makes it easy for all to see the differences.

looking at the changes you made I expect users will see a better battery life, but at the expense of a performance drop (a choice to make whats more important)

I'm currently testing the kernel build with latest SaberMod 4.9.1, it's running smooth sofar.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
If it would be related to anything I have done (installed apps, changed settings or beheaded chickens) it would not occur even right after the ROM has first booted after a fresh (clean, upon full wipe) install, with no user apps installed or settings changed...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Zoot Allures:
Hi,

I forgot to mention I was on SK 5.2 with Alucard V2.6.7a.

Went to 1.97 via Odin, then, brand new 1.99. CF SuperSU Pro, All my usual apps needing root are alright.

But the DriveDroid not able to download on External SD persist.

Even after restoring the original (built in Slimkat one) platform.xml then applying KitKat External SD Card Patch that did not crash at the end, wrote (it said) its patch.

Now I remember that some Xposed module are able to force/grant Focal to write on Ext SD. I'll give it a try.

Thanks for your help, JimSilver and you.

And, by the way, DriveDroid allow to link in its interface ISO/IMG files that are elsewhere (I hold my Windows ISO on the External Card), then hosting its main files folder where it usually creates blanks or download images on internal storage is not that bad.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
Just got one of those freezes... Phone registered all of my inputs and did them all at once after 5-8 seconds of "prolonged processing" (basically, a freeze, lol).

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mistertac:
I'm using JRummy's Build Prop editor which I believe is the same one included in ROM Toolbox. Did you enable root to both apps & abd in Dev Options? Maybe even try using SuperSu although I'm not having any issues with the native one
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bejda:
Rom Toolbox works fine yes,issue probably is root access wich is disabled by default under Dev options.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bkrickles:
I have root access under developers options. Apps and adb just like always. I've done this before which is why I'm baffled. Superuser seems fine too. I just tried that other app recommended and it just doesn't stick. If I wasn't so goddamned old it wouldn't bother me too much
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bejda:
That's odd, let's try a manual edit of /system/build.prop with a root file manager then.

And/or maybe flash SuperSu http://download.chainfire.eu/420/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99.zip

Dunno but built-in superuser has bad press nowadays lol, even if I'm sure i successfully edited SlimKat build.prop many times with it manually or via apps and never had issues with any root actions i did noticed some different/unexpected behaviors very recently.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bkrickles:
Well that did it. Su update allowed it to stick. I don't know why and I don't care. Thanks a lot. I'm at 420 dpi
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] feelpt:
when we flash this SU update, does it delete the previous superuser or we have to do it manually?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] s3icc0:
it will flash over - as it is done by chainfire I would not worry at all ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] feelpt:
ok thanks

i'm still having some issues with root access...

flashed rom and gapps with full wipe and when using TB for the 1st time it didn't recognize root access... so i flashed SU update and tried again. this time it worked and i restored my stuff

but then when i rebooted the system and root access was lost. went to check greenify and it was not working. no root access... checked in dev options and root access was being given to apps only (normally is to apps and adb, right?). so i changed that option and it seems it's working now. will test further...

congrats to OP for this great rom... I also come from fusionjack slimsaber in i9100, and the 1st thing i did when i got the i9505 was asking him if he would develop to this device :) ... now we have it

Please also read the FAQ in post #3, there is a section about this.
