[MENTION=5291759]solk2[/MENTION]: Can you provide a current CM11 snapshot on your download server so we have at least one stable version? I've installed your latest test version (20150127) and it has severe bugs like battery drain and instability. One would be kinda stuck with that release as there are no CM11 releases anymore. The downloads are all dead.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
Ok. I'll make one tomorrow I think.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DualJoe:
I had to disable audio offload as some games were stuttering and crashing (known bug?). As a side effect the battery drain seems gone as well. Need to test that some more though to make sure. Current drain is 100->90% in 6h that doesn't look too awful. I think it was more dramatically before. Can't speak for current releases though. I'm still on CM11 20150127.

If anyone wants to test as well (build.prop).

Edit: Removed the others.. its just this one. Some games need it if sound suddenly stops and/or crashes.

audio.offload.gapless.enabled=false

Edit: Bad luck. Overnight idle still shows significant drain.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] NeuDLi:
Hm... after some days with 0118 and only like 3/4 day per battery load I have reverted back to 0111, and I believe that battery drain has sufficiently decreased. As far as I remember in 0118 there were some kernel changes specific to ls01lte, so maybe one of them is guilty for the battery drain. According to betterbatterystats the deep sleep phases are longer with 0111.

Like others I would really appreciate if the maintainer could remedy these bugs which appeared in some of the latest versions and make a final CM11 version. I'm not yet willing to switch to CM12, but as the latest CM11 releases are somehow unusable I have to stay with the 0111 release for the time being.

Also, as nobody has answered to that, is there any possibility to view the changelogs of the last couple of CM11 releases?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DualJoe:
Github commit history.

Where did you get the 20150111 image from?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
Sorry. Had no time to build new version. Will make it tomorrow.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] LEENO:
please i need working link for cm11

from this page https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=ks01lte

only last cm12 links are woring
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] NeuDLi:
I downloaded it when it was the current release... I usually keep some versions around just in case. If need be I might be willing to upload it somewhere if there is no other way.

Github is a mess, as far as I understand you would have to browse through all separate commits to get a consolidated changelog. Or maybe there is some super secret console command to generate the changelog somehow... which I don't know.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DualJoe:
That's weird. I restored my last stable backup (20150111 - only /system) and the battery drain is still there. I'm sure the image was not affected at the time i backed it up that leads to the assumption that something in /data might be responsible for that now (caused by 20150127). I will take a look at the wakelocks to see what's going on.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] LEENO:
Responsable of battery drain maybe playservices, try to uninstall playservices updates and clear it's data

Taptalked
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DualJoe:
I'm an idiot. I just restored the system partition and forgot the kernel. :o
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DualJoe:
Anyone ever tested NFC? I can't get it to work and log shows error below. I'm not sure if this rom supports this at all. I can't find any switch to enable/disable it either in android settings. It's possible that i configured something that broke it.

02-10 20:13:57.145 E/NFC (13255): could not retrieve NFC service

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DualJoe:
Is kernel on par with CM12? I don't see the mic channels swapped or did you revert that? I can remember your first attempt was not correct as it swapped the noise cancellation channel as well.

Edit:

Deep sleep problem. Same battery drain like your last test release 20150127.

Workaround:

Attached is the 20150111 kernel that has no battery drain. The kernel might have problems with 'reboot to recovery'. Use shutdown/key combo instead. If 20150212 (image above this post) is installed just flash over in recovery. No need to wipe anything.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] LEENO:
Thanks, who build this unofficial rom? There is any changelog between this rom and official cm11?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] neumann:
Battery life is amazing with this kernel! But unfortunately bluetooth still prevents entering deep sleep.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] exelator:
Damn I forgot how smooth & fast cm11 is... Its not so good in Antutu but its much smoother than touchwiz roms. Can someone make overclocked kernel for cm11, please? :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DualJoe:
CastagnaIT is at it. Not yet released though.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] exelator:
Nice to hear that! Here is not too many kernels for our device :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] NeuDLi:
I did some further testing with the 20150118 release (had to do a full reinstall, so some other settings strongly affecting battery life had to be adjusted before being able to tell). For the last couple of days it has worked perfectly for me, with a battery life that I had come used to. No apparent anomalies in betterbatterystats.

Reboot to recovery from extended power menu works.

So it appears that with the next release something must have become broken that causes the issues of increased battery drain and non-working extended power menu. Since I do not have access to the old changelogs I cannot tell which change(s) in code did this. As far as I remember there were no code changes to the kernel after 0118, though (perhaps config options?).

So for the time being I revert back to my old recommendation that 20150118 is the last stable CM11 release for i9506. If someone would be willing to host the file I could provide it, just let me know.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
That is very helpful. I'll upload new build with battery drain fixed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] NeuDLi:
That would be much appreciated, thank you Solk. I'm really curious to know what change has caused this... I did never have any problem at all with any other of your releases, just the ones following 0118.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
Reverted changes in kernel DTs caused this. I forgot that code using it still wasn't reverted so reverting this reverts worked.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] neumann:
Can this new build already be downloaded somewhere?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] NeuDLi:
Please solk ... Just make the final CM11 build you promised. So that we can wait for CM12 to stabilize.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] NeuDLi:
Since solk has apparently officially abandoned CM11 for the i9506, despite promising to release a final version, one must conclude that CM11 is effectively dead for our device.

Very sad.

I do currently neither have the time nor the ressources for compiling CM11 myself, but will try if this changes in the near future. Without having tried it, the howto on cyanogenmod page appears not impossible to follow...
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DualJoe:
Why do you want to stay on CM11?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] NeuDLi:
Why not? Its stable, fast, battery-friendly and it has no current security flaws. Also Xposed works.

Seriously: CM12 is not stable yet. And also I need Xposed which is also not ready as far as I know.

To cut it short: I do not need the newest stuff just for the sake of having the shiny newest CM. When there is the first snapshot I reconsider.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DualJoe:
Ok, thanks.

Btw, Xposed runs properly if you can handle SELinux permissive and its not really unstable (it suffers from the same freeze/kernel bug like CM11 though).
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] downhere:
Deleted.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] hal2100:
I would also appreciate a final CM11 build. CM12 is more bleeding edge, but far from stable for daily work.

So if you are privacy concerned CM12 is not for you, imho.

Please solk, please release your final build.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] davidl1983:
Why do you guys not use CM11 by arter? It is stable and fast.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] don.peugot:
CM11 by arter? Afaik he only builds CM12. If not, please link the thread here.

This is why we would really appreciate a final CM11 build by solk...

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] NeuDLi:
Hi,

since Solk did never release the promised final CM11 release I finally found the time to compile it myself based on the official sources.

Anyone willing to test is welcome, my result is here: (Link removed, please take a look at my other thread)

After a short test it appears to work correctly on my device, however I do not take any responsibilities for any damages caused on other people's devices. For the time being the battery life appears normal, camera and 3G work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] iBuu:
So far so good, and very fast even while transiotions are 1.0x :good:

And battery must be at least ok, since device is not getting hot as with all lollilop roms that I have been tested, only under hour of testing behind
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] meta1984:
Perfect ROM. Like it much more then CM12 and stock.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] iBuu:
This seems to be the Ultimate One, everything* I thow at it just works and very fast too!

Tested 3/4G calls,data&sms,sensors,bt,wlan and tethering,hs,idle power consumption (1%/6 hrs!),camera,a-gps/glonass(?), is there really more that needed to be tested ?

*Except mms like other roms doesnt work out the box, you have manually do the settings.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] NeuDLi:
According to a post in my thread (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9506-develop/unofficial-build-cyanogenmod-11-0-gt-t3112387) in the version of May 20 MMS works. So maybe you can try this.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Alexyerga:
The other day with your rom, I had a random reboot and yesterday too :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DualJoe:
That's a problem with all kernels from Solk2. The bug is not yet solved.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] MildlyRegularPerson:
It seems that solk has left the project [emoji21]
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Alexyerga:
Thanks for the answer!

NeuDLi, the bug of the random reboots, do you can solve it? Thank you very much! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] iBuu:

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] NeuDLi:
No I can't.

Another thing: does anyone know if the kernel for CM-12 for our device can be used with CM-11.0 as well?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] MildlyRegularPerson:
No clue
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] morben2:
solk2 is back in CM12 thread [emoji2].
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] 1N4148:
Give it a try, on other devices it's working (if you use the CM11 ramdisk replacing kernel & modules only). Cannot try at the moment.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] mezo91:
Flashed cm kernel one. Device warm when screen off. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] faabak:
I flashed the Temasek version, works great!! Perhaps a bit more battery drain than CM on my 9505, but it might be because of the min. CPU frequency issue i read about in the first post..(?)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DrDee:
Yep, I am running latest Temasek version, no issues now with min CPU, falls back to 300mhtz as expected.

Had a reboot once so far when unlocking, this is after I changed govenor to Ondemend and had max CPU set to 2.4ghtz. So changed back to stock CPU rating and govenor and will monitor to see if it happens again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] finnince:
Arter97's kernel with replaced mpdecision with intelli_plug by faux123 works perfectly on E330S. Maybe that mpdecision will work normally on I9506 too
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
Uploaded new build. I hope that frequencies now fixed. Please test and report.

If everything will be fine i'll start woking on battery life and camera.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] faabak:
Great! Downloaded and installed over Temasek's version now, working good so far, so i will be testing it out in the weekend! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] WonkyYew:

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] almog2900:
Looking good so far. Please work on the batarry life and the camera now. The camera is a little bit slow, and the batarry life no so good. Stock samsung rom have more batarry life. Thank you so much for your hard work:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] finnince:
Only 3 cores online? Temasek kernel. CM kernel seems normal but got stuck at 1190MHz more often.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] SoRiNuS:
It´s seems that the CPU Freq is fixed. Min is 300mhz and not changing.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
All 4 cores are online only on very high loads. You wont see this in this app. It can be checked in /sys/devices/system/cpu/online from adb when playing game or moving maps around. Also min frequency changes dynamicly. And it is shown in performance settings. When you open it shows somethings around 1GHz and shorlty after that its changes to 300MHz.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
Had no problems before and I'm not sure if this is related to your ROM, but here's what happened:

1) I used your CM ROM for weeks without problems. I've been reflashing it multiple times as I've been playing with the Titanium backups.

2) Suddenly today, I started having the mm-qcamera-daemon problem.

Basically if I start an app that uses the camera, the mm-qcamera-daemon process is started. Be it a camera app itself (tried with regular Android Camera, Google Camera and CameraZoom FX) or an app using a camera like WhatsApp. It drains battery and heats up the phone.

I read about it online, but couldn't find a definitive fix or solution to get over it. I tried removing camera apps, I even tried only your ROM and GAPPS installed.

3) I figured it could be something to do with kernel or something. I'm not an expert with the terms or how they work, but figured that a clean install will surely give me some answers.

4) I installed DeHawk's ROM and tried the camera. No problems.

So my logic says it could be something with your ROM, kernel or whatever. Whenever this problem occurs, the camera sometimes doesn't start at all. Says "Can't connect to the camera.".

Love your CM ROM and can't wait to have it running again, but right now this is not working for me.

EDIT:

Perhaps a KitKat problem... http://www.zdnet.com/kitkat-giving-you-battery-drain-problems-try-uninstalling-skype-says-google-as-it-prepares-a-fix-7000027051/
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
Did you tried to clear camera app data?

Also please redownload ROM coz I mistakenly uploaded with testing camera hal and it was available for a couple of hours. Now there is correct version

I don't have such problems and skype is installed and working fine.

If nothing helps. Please give logcats and screenshoot with htop in terminal running.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
This seemed to have done the trick. Redownloading.

What are the odds that I happened to download just in the 2 hour window the faulty ROM version... But apparently I did. And I don't download the ROM too often :)

Will monitor the situation and report back if problems occur.

Hello!

Guys I using dehawks 4.3 now, I ve got problems with my phone ( power button too deep inside) flashed stock brought to samsung, they repaired it and finished, so at dehawks rom the counter will not jump up.

Here if you flash the recovery will, increase the counter. Is it possiblöe to revert all back after flashing this rom if there is a problem with the phone?

cheers!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
It is no problem to revert. But i dont know about flash counter. In theory when you flash system partition thru cwm recovery it doesnt increase flash counter. It only increased when you flash boot and recovery partitions. And when you flash CM, boot partition is flashed also. I didnt looked into it for now. And its strange that service didnt checked flash counters when you gave your device to them. Or maybe 2 or 3 in counter is fine for them as you could update your device officialy thru kies. DeHawks ROM uses custom kernel after all. And that means that boot partition flash counter had to be increased. I cant tell you for sure is it possible to revert this counters in i9506. I need to look into it. And this is not to be soon coz there a lot of work to be done before that.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] tlund:
arter97 seems to be doing parallel work on a CM11 port in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2691639 - are the two of you sharing patches, ideas and experiences? Are there different philosophies? Is one better than the other? In what way are they different?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
He uses prebuilt rom and modifies it. While I am building from source. There not much to share. Coz mainly what I am working with is device tree. While he doesn't use it at all. And kernels we use are different. I can't tell you which way is better. Thats depends on what person prefer more.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] tlund:
Is the goal of your cm11-port to get it included in the official CM nightlies?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] trein91:
Curious. Is cm11 working on this device now? Is it mostly stable? A month ago there was no cm11 builds afaik.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] apkanthony:
How's the battery life now? Does the frequency still get stuck on 1728mhz or is it fixed? :confused: Keep up the good work! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
Thats not the goal. But it will be nice if it gets included.

My goal is get cm fully working on this device.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
It is fully usable. But still some non critical functions doesn't work as it should. Like slow motion, HDR in camera. And some other minor things.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
Fixed in last build. Battery life much better with this fix. Will fix battery consumption by RIL in next release.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] itvaletchu:
How is the battery life compared to TouchWiz ROM? It will be better than in TouchWiz ROM in final relase of this CyanogenMod?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
I think tjose margins are so small that it's more about the apps, widgets, wallpapers and other processes you have installed than the ROM itself.

For myself, I can only say I've around 100 downloaded apps installed with full 9 home screens and widgets, a static homepage and minimized background services.... Battery life in wifi at home is around 18h with lesser use.

LTE/3G or less outside home, around 10h.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] apkanthony:
Sweet! Next issue: Update bootloader and modem. Can somebody provide me with the newest bootloader and modem files? I can't seem to find them anywhere.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
Well before this fix battery life was awful. But now it is more depends on what you have installed and what is running in background.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] apkanthony:
Thanks! How come it doesnt change the modem version when i flash it? I'm still on I9506XXUAMHD :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
Is this your version in About phone -> baseband? And try to clear cache and dalvik-cache before update.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] apkanthony:
Yes. Baseband says I9506XXUAMHD. I'm flashing with Odin 1.85. Clearing cache and dalvik-cache doesn't seem to make any difference :/

I also tried this found here: http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-radiomodems/

"If your radio hasn’t changed, try re-flashing with ODIN but with “Auto Reboot” unchecked. Then when you see “PASS!”, pull battery, put it back in, then hold down Volume Down, Home, and Power buttons together to get into Download mode. Then re-flash radio with ODIN. When done flashing twice, reboot your phone by pulling battery then back in. Now, the “Baseband version” should have changed."

Doesn't change anything either :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
Try to use Odin 3.09. Maybe this will help.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DrDee:
Still having dialer issues.

If I open the dialer app (phone) from cold and click the keypad icon it will half pop-up but display no keypad. If I use the back arrow and then select the keypad icon again the keypad displays as it should. From then on the keypad will display as expected.

If I force close the dialer app to get a cold start again or reboot the phone, the issue reappears.

Anybody else reproduce this problem?

Edit:

Just tried downloading and installing DialApp from the playstore and problem persists in that app as well.

I'm on 4.2 without knox on my device, with root.

Is there a way to install this rom without getting knox on it?

I'm asking because in the starter post it says i need to flash stock 4.3 first, this would mean to get knox on it.

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9506 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
You can flash 4.3 and CWM recovery without rebooting. Then just boot into recovery and install this ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] awicks:
24 hours on and so far so very good. No major issues to report and battery life seems good!

After 8 hours on battery today (mostly on 3g), my battery is down to 76%. I have listened to music via bluetooth for around an hour, have had bluetooth turned on morning and have had the screen on for 30 minutes. It is comparable to the battery life I was getting on the stock 4.3 before I flashed CM yesterday.

The only issue I have experienced was when trying to delete photos just taken in the Camera app. The app froze and the phone rebooted but since then I have had no other issues.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
Colud be file locks problem. When photo isn't finished writing to flash. Maybe something else. Anyway camera is most bugiest thing for now.
