I always Flash the latest SuperSU

http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip

But flashing SuperSU isn't a requirement I just prefer it, all that needs to be done to enable root access is go to settings, developer options, root access, and pick apps and ADB (it's Disabled by default)

Info is also located on post #3 OP

[MENTION=4129455]Formhault[/MENTION], there is a lot of discussion on the S2's SlimSaber thread about the recents bug.

Or - you could ditch recents from the rom and use recents in 'side control' it works perfect 100% of the time looks very pretty (I have mine set to 'light labelless' and opens much faster than the rom 'slim recents' ;)

Question for you though. Since mine is a 5200mah and stock is 2600mah and I reported that at 50% of my battery.... Can't you kind of see what I was trying to do? I've seen people reporting 5+ hours screen on time on stock... Clearly at the very end of the batteries life but still.

Anyone playing games on these things needs a big battery imo. The few times I've played anything it just sucks the juice right down to nothing.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Hey kantjer my friend - I've just uploaded your settings again but from the settings thread the old fashioned way cutting and pasting etc. The reason I chose to do this is because I have a lower cpu bin than you do don't want the higher voltages you set by default, I edit your settings before I upload them then I get to keep my original voltage tale which works nice for me.

I wonder if you would consider maybe disabling the voltage changes and this may help other users as we all have different cpu bin?

That way if people want to change their voltage tables they can use the settings from the thread.

I'm thinking of creating a series of different default profiles with changed voltage tables according to binning. what do you think?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
If you use SSK there is no need for all that, just use the "SlimSaberKat stock voltage" profile in the next build.

Mild gaming = Castle Clash. That's very mild, lol.

Anyway. Without the game, the battery would've lasted for 3 hours AND A BIT of screen on time. Still nowhere near what some guys report (4+ hours of screen on time with brightness >50% and heavy use).

I don't want to make this phone thicker. I can't use it without my anti-slippery-anti-hyperglazed-superplastic cases :D. I just need a new battery, I guess. :(

I am aware of that, too. My battery is from a good batch - it isn't inflated or anything like that.

Thanks for this great rom

I have my SD card formatted in exfat

Reading and writing go well

I have a problem with, I think, the media scanner

Pictures are doubled, on the extsdcard

It says there are 900 pictures in a folder while there are just 100, the rest are copies

And in this case I rebooted 8 times

If I clear cash and data from media storage app it returns to normal until I reboot

This only happens with the stock gallery

If I use quick pic there's no problem

Ah

Sounds like I solved my own problem there

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lost_:
Here is a guide to convert to F2FS using Ktoonsez modified TWRP.

When I was troubleshooting another ROM, I went back and forth between F2FS and EXT4 many times. I found Philz Touch to be better for the conversion step. You can select what you want to convert (system, data, cache) as part of its format option. For flashing in general, TWRP can't be beat and that's my default recovery.

At the end of the day, I decided to stay with ext4.

If you are a flashoholics who often flash multiple zips in one go, then check out Auto Flasher - it lets you maintain a constant set of zips for quick and easy backup & flashing, so you don't have to keep choosing the zip files like in ROM Toolbox or TWRP.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] oildale:
On a whim tonight I checked the Alucard thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2590246 to see if there was a new kernel and there was: Kernel-Alucard-V2.6.8. In the somewhat vain hopes that it might fix or at least alleviate my audio issues of skipping and distortion in poweramp, I flashed it.

Success!

For at least an hour now I've been playing random songs, turning the screen on and off (I would

always

get a short skip/distort about 3-4 seconds after screen off) and haven't had one single skip/distort/digital burp. Hopefully I'm not jumping the gun on this, but I would always have at least a couple skips within 15 minutes, usually more, so here's to hoping that the new Alucard version fixed it.

-----

And for ROM specific info, using the extreme_battery setting in STweaks (that's kantjer's tweaked settings right?) I'm sitting at 47% battery (stock battery) with 19h 49m on battery, 1h 41m screen on, over 3 hours of poweramp usage, a some minimal gaming. I don't have Bluetooth enabled, but most everything else is on. So I'm really, really impressed with the battery life with this version of SSK. Thank you very much for all the hard work kantjer!

[MENTION=5311824]oildale[/MENTION]

You had those audio problems with previous Alucard version or incidentally using KT Kernel? Just asking because it is a well known issue with the latter one, yet very easy to fix if you know how.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] oildale:
Both. It was unbearable with KT. It got quite a bit better with Alucard, but would still happen. It seems to have been eradicated with Alucard 2.6.8 so far. What's the easy fix by the way? I searched for answers and tried changing so many settings to no avail.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
Higher the min frequency for screen off. Or disable hot plug for screen off.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] munichsfinest:
You don't have to disable it completely, for me (with Viper4Android in highest quality mode) it was sufficient to lower the sampling_rate_screen_off to 20.000, to keep the CPU from jumping through the frequencies enable super_conservative_screen_off, lower block_cycles_raise_screen_off to 2 and raise minimum frequency in media settings to about 378. If that's not enough you can lower the hotplug values for screen off a bit.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
Lol hot plugging doesn't have lower/higher "values" you either set it to 1 which would be on or 0 which is off. You want to set it to the latter if you get audio stuttering with the screen off... Or leave it on and raise the screen off frequency.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] munichsfinest:
Lol likewise^^ Of course it does, as it is my observation that the vast majority of KT users uses ktoonservativeq governor, and this is the governor where this happens most frequently as its hotplugging is tuneable very precisely. So my post was for those users who have indeed several hotplugging parameters to fine-tune within the governor itself, not the on/off auto hotplug. The latter one plugs the cores in so rapidly and early that at least I never had problems playing music if I tried it this way.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
I don't use it, I find it crap.. It doesn't save battery yet still manages to slow everything down... I don't even like his kernel in general its over bloated and full of junk, but KT himself posted to turn hot plugging off while the screen is off if you have audio issues. I'm sure he knows his own kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] munichsfinest:
Of course he knows his kernel, but the other way works, too, and I got the impression that it saves a bit of juice compared to all 4 cores running, that's why I chose this way of dealing with the problem. :o

Kernel-wise it's simply a matter of taste I guess, I like the numerous tweaking possibilities. If you put in a bit of effort, you can get quite a reward.

Running this ROM on AT&T, and while using a temporary Go sim everything is fine.

After I officially signed up with AT&T, my phone never rings. That is the only problem.

Calls out just fine, SMS ,MMS, work just fine after setting up the APN.

Basically they can not tell what my phone is. I have a call into tech support which is passing it up the line and I will probably hear back from someone tomorrow..

Wanted to know if anyone had that happen and if there are any suggestions. Currently running GPE ROM and everything of course works perfectly fine with regards to the phone working like a phone.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mistertac:
Don't think it's the ROM/gapps as mine is running great with no pesky wake locks . most likely you'd benefit more from doing a full wipe and after that if your still having random things pop up I'd even back up everything to external card and format your internal memory as well.

Sometimes you just have to do some house cleaning

This Rom / Kernel gets phenomenal battery life while still maintaining that Saber Speed!
