Snap HDR is great if you change the default values.

These are the defaults:

Fine contrast: 4

Course contrast: 3

Overexposure: 1.5

Underexposure: - 0.5

Saturation: 4

My settings. Very good natural looking (not extreme HDR) results:

Fine contrast: 2

Course contrast: 1

Thanks. Will give it a go.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reg66:
is it better to flash rom then GApps, or both together (i usually do both together but just wondered if this wasn't the best option)

cheers
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sushidog:
You can do everything in the same recovery session. Installing Gapps won't remove anything (other than currently installed Gapps, if any) from your phone.

Camera and Gallery app work well here, but only for pictures I took with this ROM. Pictures I have copied to the phone make problems.

QuickPic solves this for me, it also displays the pictures I have copied over.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
I've always used quickpic.

It's the best gallery app out there in my opinion.

Google Camera working in this ROM?

I'm on Google Edition now, but thinking to test this one.

Just hearing that camera isn't that good as GE one?

Isn't the same quality pictures with Google Camera as is on GE ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
Get snap camera, nude said.

How to have a dark on this ROM ? I'm using a theme right now, and it's still fading ..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] David_cole:
Is is rom not going to be updatesd? It will be android 5.0 before anything happens here.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
You're joking right?

Its been all of 17 days since the last update. How dare Dan get so lazy!

I know OP states fortnightly releases, but this is not a hard+fast time period....it really does depend on the quality and importance of the CM commits in the first place.

Patience is a virtue!

Is there any chance for GE dialer to work in this CM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mooyaart:
Try 'Blackedout' theme on google play.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] NemoKOF:
I'm using this rom but I sometime got issues I never have in GPe or Stock. Chrome stops and is unable to start, Spotify today crashed but the song was still playing. Only reboot helps.

Still - It seems that battery is a littlebit better than on GPe.

Why are you all changing from GE to CM?!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nitramcek:
Battery wasn't that good as is in CM. Don't know why.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] VictorLallemand:
Just wanted to try, back on GE now :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] NemoKOF:
Battery, I can see it clearly that it's just better here. Also, I was getting reboots when using camera and saving to SD (no Xposed module, Snapcamera with sd selected). This doesn't happen here but other issues occur. I think I will revert to GPe, U just need some free time for this. Also, removing Google Search, just leaving playstore and gmail seems to conserve battery, search creates some wakelocks here.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] diwakarchopra:
The default CM camera keeps on crashing, even after clean installs. Probably a CM problem, right?

Also, could you add the carbon look for the dialer and contacts apps like you did for the GPe ROM? They look amazing and the white themed apps do suck more battery than darker themed apps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
Yes the camera issue is from Cm's part.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] VictorLallemand:
Too many lags, bugs, black screens for me .. I can't even say if battery is better here, only been on it for a few hours !
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
I ran this ROM for days with no sign of the above
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sushidog:
How can you talk about a ROM you didn't even let settle? Did you deleted system on recovery before flashing?

This ROM does have some bugs but nothing huge or more than GE. Battery is definitively better here but I'm almost sure it's related to kernel not ROM itself.

Edit: I don't use gapps and that's another plus for battery life.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
this ROM will be getting a much needed update in the next 24 hours
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
UPDATE IN THE OP!

08/05/2014

M9 stable

Themes support for additional UI elements

Heads Up Notifications – Bug Fixes

Lockscreen – Allow doubletap to sleep when using secure keyguard

Torch – Improve performance

Safe Headset Volume – prompt when interfering with 3rd party device (Jawbone, Square, etc)

-Center clock support

Event notification preference removed

Massive Settings clean up

Quick Settings – respect locale changes on additional tiles

Proximity Wake-Up support – prevent accidental wake-up of device by checking to see if proximity sensor is blocked (eg. Device is in a bag or pocket).

Spam notification filtering – Set notifications to auto-ignore based on content (perfect for those pesky games that want you to ‘Save 20% on our new game’). Long-press offending notification to set as ignored; manage in Privacy settings.

Settings Search – Additional improvements and highlighting

Data Usage Info – Add support for CDMA devices without sim cards

Bluetooth – Add additional A2DP profiles

Bluetooth – Disable AVRCP 1.5 by default (fixes various car unit compatibility)

Email – Fix saving attachments to storage for POP3 accounts

Translations (Thanks CM Crowdin Team!)

Account for Play Services induced wake-locks

Fix encryption on some LG Devices

Dialer – add support for Korean and Chinese to smart-dialer

More but I can better spend my time doing something else

Note: The CM camera works but it's not the best, SnapCam HDR (Paid app) from the market is much more stable and has a ton more features (these developers only focus on the 4.4 open source camera and making it better), I highly suggest doing what I do and removing the stock Camera and Gallery and using this awesome app which also includes a gallery with more features, myself and ktoonsez swear by it. The stock files are found in system/app.

also please use the provided gapps, they are literally perfect for this ROM

enjoy! I sure am ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] churchey360:
Gonna download and flash now :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] zoleegee:
Awww maaan... Just moved to your GE ROM... ☺

sounds like flashing time again... ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MohamedN:
Downloading.. Testing.. Feedback soon

Pretty sure it will be one of the best out there

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nick123ablxx32:
about to sell my phone then an update comes :silly:

will be testing for a few days :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
no need to sell and waste money, S4 is a power house

get a new case or something and trick yourself like its a new phone
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MohamedN:
Or flash this and you will be getting a new phone :thumbup:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
was that supposed to be bad feedback or something? lol

rom is tested and running fine :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nick123ablxx32:
I might take up your advice on that ......just looked at the S5 forums and the ROM count is disappointing ...... Awesome work as always ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
Seriously :). There is nothing this phone can't do and the ROM selection and dev support is top notch, S5 doesn't seem to be getting cm support. Steve kondik isnt interested in Samsung and all but 2 major American carriers have locked down the phones bootloader. My advice is keep the s4, its a great phone, Nexus 6 might be good, will be made by moto this time around I believe and I'm a huge fan of the moto X so this can be good, real good...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nick123ablxx32:
No AOSP = deal breaker for me

Hope to see you in the Nexus 6 forums someday ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] LuRock:
Dan can I flash this on ATT I337?

Edit: Disregard op has the answer:D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
jeez it's quiet in here :P how you guys all doing on the latest? so far battery life for me in fantastic and I haven't had any problems, ROM is super stable
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] LuRock:
Awesome here! I try not to go to crazy with themes cause I know some are not too stable or complete. But as far as the ROM goes, smooth, fast, and yes battery is real good. I'd say stable it is! :D:thumbup:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
yep I left everything stock as far as theme goes so for anyone using a super stable CM 11 theme engine theme it will be 100% compatible, also the gapps package we are using is very light and doesn't bloat up the system allowing us to use greenify on problem apps like Google Search and Maps
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] djmik21:
Hello dan the rom is awesome. Really stable. I am using googy kernel and everything works perfect.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
:) works perfect for me too, this is just to apply some finishing touches to the ROM

Update in the OP

08/05/2014 stable 2

-Added Media_RW permissions to the permissions platform to add support for many third party apps (CM has yet to address this)

-CM OTA disabled

-Removed Calendar, grab it from the market so you can get updates via google

-Edited a few strings in English US and English GB

Dirty flash is fine (wipe caches, flash update, reboot - do not flash gapps again), as stated in the OP any new users should use the GAPPS I provide in the OP as they are a 100% up todate and minimal, anything you may need is downloadable from the market,

200+ downloads in about 13 hours and no one commented, from my experience that tells me everything is running well so with this build I would like to hear some feedback :) I'm extremely happy with this as its a nice change of pace from my more Vanilla Android GPE ROM. Well done CM team for the wonderful project, I really feel M9 is a beast of a ROM for jflte:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] martinomac:
I agree, all is running really smooth so far on stock kernel and dalvik runtime. [MENTION=326772]dandv[/MENTION]h, are you running custom googy kernel or ART?

Thanks for this rom!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
just stock everything, stock kernel is treating me well, no bluetooth, audio or any other kind of hiccup. battery life has been solid today too
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] churchey360:
Does the kernel have anything to do with the power off battery charging animation because with stock kernel i have a charging animation but with KT kernel i just have a grey loading battery with a constant blue flashing led light. Also without the animation my phone wont turn on unless i take it off the charger? Im on stock kernel now so i dont have this problem lol i was just wondering.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
Yep that's kernel business
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nitramcek:
It's working great so far. Was on yours google edition ROM which is also great.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mrCham23:
This is awesome. I seriously have nothing to complain about, and yes, that bothers me a little :silly:

So yeah, thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gabi11:
Hey you guys,

Just a little question..

I've always been a TW user ( except for a short time on aosb) so don't have a lot of experience in this world of roms...

Just to be sure. Because this is not a TW rom, there is no need to worry about old bootloaders, knox, and stuff.

Right?

Currently I'm on NF1 rom and modem, and MF4 bootloader.

Btw, I'm sober now and no longer a flashoholic.

Not interested in flashing roms every week.

Just give me a stable rom, good battery life and I'm happy (off course extra features are always nice...).

An update once in a couple of months is fine by me.

What do you recommend?

GPE or aosp?

I'm aware it's an aosp thread but it has the same "father" as the gpe I found interesting..... [emoji1]

Thanks a lot!!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
i would flash both, if you don't want features and want just stock Vanilla Android run my GPE, it has some goodies but not nearly as much as this (unless you have xposed and gravitybox) if you want more interface customization load up this ROM, both are stables
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bajong:
hey dude!!! this is the ROM you're looking hard as Metallica Stable as Nirvana lots of features like Rage Against the Machine, just flash and bang ur head!!! cowabunga dude!!!!:p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] undeniableturnip:
Does this need a particular recovery to flash? Like TWRP with the GPE rom?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] zoleegee:
Latest TWRP works best for me lately with Dans ROMs.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] undeniableturnip:
What's the easiest way to install TWRP?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
You must flash it trough Odin, there is a TWRP thread with all the links/info to install it, I'm sure you'll get it going in a blink :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] undeniableturnip:
Can I do it through rom manager? I believe I have used that before
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
I've never used that program before so idk, but I suggest following the instructions on the TWRP thread/web site since is not that hard and it's guaranteed to work :cowboy:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
lol lol
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
Well Dan, I officially hate you! I'm on your GE and I promised myself that I won't flash this ROM until the weekend since I don't have time right now unless I cut some sleep from my already short bed time schedule... So here I am, tired and downloading your ROM wondering why you have to be such a good dev and steal my sleep :silly:

I'll provide feedback tomorrow :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gabi11:
Thanks a lot!!!

And about the knox and bootloader stuff I mentioned, nothing to worry. Right?

I was hoping for a: "masterpiece like Justin bieber"..... [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12][emoji15][emoji15][emoji15]

Thanks a lot mate!!! [emoji1]
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] djmik21:
Hey guys can anyone point to a working dalvik patch zip that will help a bit with performance so i can use xposed. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
Xposed slows down the device... Almost nobody knows that... :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] djmik21:
I know that and in addition to it i needs dalvik to work so you get a much laggier phone. A dalvik patch would help if anyone knows of a zip that works.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
Why do you need xposed on cm11?? It has almost all features anyone can want... Choose ART and be happy about performance and battery life...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Emmertje:
Call me a n00b if you want, but: how do I do that?? I'd like to give it a try...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
settings>about phone. Tap build build number a few times until you see a toast pop up about you now being a developer

then in the settings menu you will see "developer options"

in there you can choose art/dalvik under "select runtime"
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] xxnurrexx:
This is the only rom i´ve nothing to complain about.

Great battery life, stable and very smooth.

Thank you
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
Tell us your results. ART has lower benchmark scores (don't care about them) but is overall much snappier, more responsive and battery life is better.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] undeniableturnip:
Does all the CM stuff still work in ART?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
Of course.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] zoleegee:
Some apps from Play Store might not be ART compatible - you need to check them individually... As ART is getting more popular, I'd say most common and popular apps have no issues with it though.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mrCham23:
Honestly, can you feel any noticeable difference between ART and Dalvik? I've gone with both and I'd say both have the same performance and batterylife.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
Scrolling and swiping in apps is smoother and overall UI performance is better.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] LuRock:
ROM is running stupidest!:D

I am curious on trying googy kernel but man o man once again I have a new phone without having to resign another contract!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jfm91:
Does notification led work on missed calls, mails, sms etc. on this rom. It doesn't work on Dan's GE rom
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
It works PERFECTLY. You can even set your own led color for each app.

Cm in current form is WAY better than GE.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bartik168:
For me the LED notification works of Dan's GPE ROM perfectly. I had issues but it were connected with some apps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jfm91:
So what can I do to get it working?

The notification LED only notify battery-charge
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bartik168:
I don't know, it works itself;) I don't use so much application only well tested...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mrCham23:
How would this improve the batterylife? And as mentioned, I couldn't tell if my phone was on ART or Dalvik if I hadn't known. The benefits of using Gravitybox still outnumbers the CM capabilities - like in hiding alarm & bluetooth icon, show day in small letters, unlink ringtone & notification volumes, replacing "clear all" to bottom right, show recent tasks RAM, showing battery arc, volume keys skip track and tons of other stuff.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dontpannic:
Dan - well done. This ROM is absolutely fantastic. I've been using CM11 Milestone builds directly from the cyanogenmod site, with a lot of success but a few hiccups. Used your CM11 M9 S2 rom with the minimal gapps + nova launcher and am very impressed indeed so far.

Cyanogenmod is where I'm staying now...!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
ART has every app pre-compiled and ready to go when you launch the app (apps take up a little more space on the internal)

Dalvik compiles on the fly and creates dalvik cache to boost speed

ART is better but its highly experimental but that doesn't mean its not stable
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ruud:
Hi i realy find this ROM amazing fast and i would stay with it but every time i am not connected with wifi i dont have a connection with internet so no mobile data, any support would be welcome

My provider is telford/KPN
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
you more then likely need to update you're modem, if your on a newer modem check APN information

I can conclude this is not a ROM issue
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] LuRock:
Just wanted to throw out there if anyone like white color themes, Flux White is very nice and complete.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
The power of CM theme engine, makes life so easy for a dev like me leaving the whole ROM stock allowing users to load up one apk in the theme engine to something that suits them
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] churchey360:
I like the regular flux theme lol it looks really nice if you use small tiles in your quick settings too
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
After a while on this ROM I can say that that it was a huge leap from the last update, great battery life on dalvik and stock kernel, snappy and zero issues so far. IMO it feels smoother than the GE edition. Nice update Dan :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
it's exactly why i skipped m8, I only want to release pure stables and m9 with my additions make for a very good Android experience, I have a few hundred downloads now and no problems to report, all my threads are very quiet.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
Since the performance menu was removed from the ROM is there a way to mess with the stock kernel settings?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
You can use Trickster Mod
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] undeniableturnip:
Can I switch to ART even if I've set up all my apps now? Or do I have to reflash then switch to ART
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
Switch to ART anytime you want.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] undeniableturnip:
Can I switch back if I want?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gabi11:
Hey,

I'll probably flash the rom this weekend.

Currently I'm with philz recovery.

I read on this thread that twrp is better with this rom.

Do you mean twrp 2.7.1.0?

I need to flash it though odin? Cause all I see in twrp's thread is instruction to flash through their app....

Or maybe it's better and easier to just flash it through that zip....
