[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] pen²:
With 0.9.8 (and the previous version) I'm getting random hangs of the system for up to 5s. I notice this while typing abd I have already frozen almost all apps I don't use daily. Logcat is looking normal, do you have any hints what I could do to narrow down? (a real fresh install is my last resort)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Grinface:
[MENTION=3876105]spegelius[/MENTION]:

I just dirty flashed (deleted only data and cache, came from 0.9.6) the 0.9.8-opt dual version - and WLAN worked. It seems, only with clear install the WLAN problems persists.

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] spegelius:
Muy interesting, good to know. Hmm, i have to check the kernel config for wlan firmware file paths, if i remember there was some changes about the wifi blobs.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] pen²:
I got a private message from [MENTION=5855792]Polytox[/MENTION] which I may re-post here:

I also used swiftkey, then changed to swype (swift key still installed) and still had freezes.

However, if you can help Polytox, this would be very kind. Sadly he is not allowed to write replies due to his post count :/
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] spegelius:
I don't use swiftkey and thus i don't support it. If there's time, i may have a look at it.

For camera, a detailed explanation of the bug and a logcat is a must. Something like 'stopped working' doesn't really give a clue about anything.

As for the post cound, that's simple: post more :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] spegelius:
Built 0.9.9-od1 (optimized dev build 1), contains updated WiFi firmware paths in kernel config and some drivers/video panel stuff. Nothing major. Of and repo sync, of course.

I'm thinking about rebasing to android ver 4.4.4_r2.0.1. First to have a look what has changed, though.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Michse222:
Thanks for the update, according to gdrive its really popular nowadays - or is it just me getting a quota reached warning? Hope google resets your quota fast - or is there another mirror where I can dl the file? (opt version without dual boot)

Had to move to another town recently and now I'm facing excactly the same problem as pen: My phone is inside a region where there is 3G coverage - but its only connecting to a 2G source. When I'm moving around town there is 3G signal available. Also when I go inside the service menu (the thing with the *#*# ...) and switch to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (Prl) then I have a very good 3G signal. Very odd. I'll play with those settings for a while... Updated dirty the last times - maybe a clean 9.9 install will fix it ...
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] spegelius:
Hmm, my DropBox account size was recently downgraded, some Samsung or whatnot promo ended, so i cant store more data there. Hah, its only after 60 days. Ok, storing here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/44sqdzhq75t9my5/AAArJrz8-qmXJRF5pTB0wlKCa?dl=0.

Ill have to start looking for alternative solutions to store this stuff. Everywhere restrictions after restrictions... i do have three cloud file services: Google Drive, Dropbox and Windows BSODDrive or whatitsface. Latter i havent used yet, Linux compability is kinda needed (haven t checked that)

Maybe https://www.androidfilehost.com? It works great in the US, but I don't know how the speed is overseas.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Grinface:
I'm still on version as of 09-22. Can anybody confirm that every time after a reboot the phone lost compass direction?

Edit: Belongs to CM11 thread. Sorry
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] spegelius:
Great, I'll check that out.

Hmm, I assume you are using CM11? Well i haven't noticed, but then again i haven't used my phone with apps that use GPS or compass, my bike was stolen last week and haven't logged any outdoor activity. The fact it loses the direction could be related to wrong time daemon blobs, but probably not....
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Grinface:
Sorry, yes you're right, I've posted in wrong thread...

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] elgorra:
Don't know if this was also a problem in previous releases because I hadn't tried it but the microphone doesn't work when using speakerphone during phone calls. The other person can't hear you. Tried with several calls. Has anyone else noticed this problem?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] upD8R:
It's discussed in the CM thread, too. So this is known and a test build was just provided.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] spegelius:
So it's a problem with older blobs too (as AOPS doens't use new RIL etc.)? Ok, i'll bring the fix from CM and make a new build.

[MENTION=3055343]daniel129001[/MENTION] IR remote works. Use the original watchon that came with the phone restoring with Titanium.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] daniel129001:
I tried the Smart remote application but did not work, and Maybe the developer did not put the binary

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] spegelius:
Its on the previous dev build post.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] spegelius:
What binary is that? I dont support Samsung apps (is Smart Remote Samsung app?) because they most of the time need some Samsung framework tidbit and not interested on debugging those. But as [MENTION=2693454]elgorra[/MENTION] mentioned, if you have a Titanium backup of the app, you can try restoring it and see if it works.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] FinHD:
I just downloaded WatchON from play and rockenroll.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] spegelius:
Hmm i gotta get me a tv to test these sw. I wonder how those remote apps work with projectors...
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] elgorra:
I also have only a projector and a WDTV Live player but no regular TV. Remote works great!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Michse222:
Hi, you have to contact them and state your playstore email and that you're using a custom ROM. Takes a few minutes, afterwards it works great.

This is for the GT-I9295 International phone, not yours.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Chance Ill:
Yes, I can read just fine. I choose to ask here only because I hoped someone may be familiar with safestrap. I've also posted the exact same question in atat section with no response at all. I've even started a thread. Nothing.

I'm in no way a noob. I've searched for days with no luck. I have a couple of theories from similar experiences , but considering safestrap isn't really a standard recovery, I don't want to risk damaging the device being repair. Any advice would help.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Devo7v:
SafeStrap does not work with the i9295, so most of the international users will be unfamiliar with it. This is not the proper place to ask your question. Either ask it in the Q&A section or the SafeStrap thread in the Development section ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448942).
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
The GT-I9295 does not use or need SafeStrap, so I have no knowledge of it's usage. None of the many threads here I have used for the I-9295 phone has ever mentioned SafeStrap until now.Your shotgun approach has missed the entire target in this thread.

Either your elitist attitude of something else is getting you no help, you may not be a noob, but you are not very efficient in you attempt to get help.. I see other SafeStrap threads that would be more likely, but what do I know. You are now added to my Ignore list for your attitude. Good luck with that "I am entitled" approach..
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Chance Ill:
Elitist attitude? Entitled? Because I said I'm not a Noob? A Noob would have taken offense to your unprovoked, unproductive reply. I realized a long time ago that people like you are what hurt support forums like xda. If you can't help, keep to yourself.

Any plans for a pure lollypop release for the s4 active [MENTION=3876105]spegelius[/MENTION]?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] spegelius:
Possibly, after i get my phone working and CM has working Lollipop build.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] spegelius:
Was working on updater scripts on CM12 and did some updates to AOSP also:

Ver 0.99

triple framebuffers, reduces screen refresh stutters

f2fs in kernel enabled. Not supported by updater yet, though

updater_script updates, more compatible with TWRP

SuperSU 2.37
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] elgorra:
Seems I lost root access after upgrade to this new version. Says SuperSU is not installed.

I upgraded to the regular, not opt.

Went back to my previous version I had backed up right before upgrading since I can't install Super SU from Play Store.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] spegelius:

guess the fix is reverting this commit from AntaresOne jf-common tree :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] spegelius:
Great. Yes, the commit is for the AntaresOne's dynamic fs detect/format/fstab creation script. I have that file reverted on my own jf-common and yes, probably the whole commit can be reverted if you are not using the fs script.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] elgorra:

I haven't been messing around with roms for a while. I got this one to work after I noticed that I needed to upgrade my recovery. Now I'm just wondering what baseband is the best to work with this rom?(currently running XXUBMK2)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] O-T:
Your baseband is XXU =Global and is usable for any ROM worldwide. Some carriers has tested different versions of the XXU modems and verify functionality working for the region, give it a tag eg. PHN or NEE. But that tag is related to CSC (Google it) and doesn't matter to AOSP or CM based builds. All XXU modems of same version, like yours MK2 (JellyBean 4.2.2) is identical.

Next important item is that i9295 has (like i9505) TWO MODEMS. None of them are touched when flashing AOSP or CM. Neither the bootloader.

In case you are still reading....

IF you can't suppress the itch to update because suspicious insects flock when you're talking in phone [emoji12] , or some dude in completely different part of the world with totally different geographic location parameters and interference scenario convince you in some swinglish "Bro, aim jusing NI1 charm like a works"

So far no devs. of S4A AOSP/CM builds are explicitly excluding any basebands or modem versions.

Still itching to update ....

Please mind KNOX tripping, match bootloader with LTE modem, trace my posts in xda-forum, the most relevant regarding this predicament http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57200308

Happy flashing

Hi [MENTION=3876105]spegelius[/MENTION], Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I just noticed that the latest build has again the speakerphone problem. When you are on speakerphone the microphone stops working and the other party can't hear you. You had fixed it some weeks ago for one build but the latest 0.99 has the problem again.

Warm regards
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] spegelius:
Hmm, seems i haven't pushed that change to github on aosp branch... i'll make another build with the fix.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] walter79:
Build from 2014-12-28 include this patch?

Edit: seems to work
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] spegelius:
Yes, patch is included. However, there's only optimized builds available, had some trouble with the regular version. The server i'm building the regular version on had java updated from oracle's jave 6 to openjdk 7 (CM12 needs it) and that messed up AOSP build. I updated the build job to use oracle's java 6 for AOSP, so that version should be available soon (if the build is succesfull).

I also made a version 1.0.0 dev build, i'm trying to bring AOSP device tree and kernel up to speed with CM11. I'll test it for a while before providing an upload, there's lot of changes...
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] spegelius:
Version 0.9.10 is available. NOTICE: I haven't tried either of the builds, optimized or regular, since i really don't have time to switch roms nowadays. So those of you who have flashed them, do post results.

Changes:

fix phone speaker

AOSP repo sync, nothing major has changed

Next version, 1.0.0, will have newer CM11/12 kernel and newer blobs. With those changes comes also some bugs, like Wifi not working with Bluetooth and not being able to scan mobile networks. I'll upload test version of it later today.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] spegelius:
AOSP_4.4.4_r2.0.1_I9295_spegelius_v1.0.0-od2.zip uploaded to dev-folder. Do note that current AOSP KT kernel doesn't work with this as it relies on old blobs. I'll upload new KT kernel which supports new blobs tomorrow.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
I cannot find this in Drive or Dropbox. I suspect I am missing something simple and obvious, but ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
For some reason it is hidden for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] spegelius:
Well of course 0.9.10 is not in the dev-folder because it's an actual release. 1.0.0-od2 is a development build, so it's in the dev folder.

Can anyone tell me pros and cons of enabling ART instead of Dalvik in this ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] elgorra:
Adding additional LTE bands

LTE just came out in my city and they are using band 4 ( 1700 - 2100). As far as I understand, the Galaxy S4 Active does not work with band 4 but I see that phones can be hacked to support all bands.

0.9.10 working great so far. Microphone works fine with speakerphone.

Thanks as usual [MENTION=3876105]spegelius[/MENTION] !
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] spegelius:
As far as i know, ART is faster but might not work with every app out there. I don't have current status how well it works currently though...

I suppose this would depend on I9295's hw support for LTE bands? Quick search didn't shed any light on the matter and it even seems that the Qualcom 8064T chip isn't the one providing the mobile connectivity? Haven't tried this trick, don't know when or if...
