There have been issues with both exFat and 64GB cards since my SaberMod CM11 builds. It seems that they've lessened since them since you can mount your card and view files, whereas CM11 couldn't mount. I haven't enabled exFat mounting on the stock kernels, but I will do that today and see if it changes things.

Thank you, but I think I messed up the steps in generating a logcat. If you look at your log file there are only like 5 lines, logcats, or full logcats have hundreds. Could you redo it, doing the logcat first? Sorry for all the troubles. But as [MENTION=5270463]beeeto[/MENTION] pointed out, it may be a GCC4.9 issue, and I'll revert soon. If you can verify that my build April 26th works (built with GCC4.8), then we know it's a GCC issue

How to use F2FS:

"What is F2FS?

Back up all your data. You will fully wipe your phone in order to convert to F2FS

Download @AntaresOne's TWRP with F2FS support

Boot into TWRP

Go to wipe > advanced wipe

Checkbox Data or Cache

Press the "Repair or Change File System" button at the bottom

Press "Change Filesystem"

Press "F2FS"

Swipe to confirm

Do the same for Cache/Data

Flash ROM, GApps and any other addons you want.

These steps are now included in the OP. I can't comment on comparisons, you really have to see for yourself.

Thank you for clarifying that. That was my next guess on the reason, and it really does suck since it only affects certain users/mp3s. I guess I will revert back to GCC4.8 since I'm already fixing a lot just to have GCC4.9

F2FS is a file system built for eMMC storage, such as the type found in our phones. It's supposed to be better than the default, EXT4. Some users, including myself, find faster file transfering, which should happen, because I believe F2FS has higher random writing speeds than EXT4
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bv90andy:
Thanks for that. I'm just curious since this is based on cm12, how come it doesn't support it as well as cm12 does to begin with?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
There may be incompatibilities due to the toolchains and optimization flags used. I can compile everything without error, but that doesn't guarantee everything will work at runtime.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bv90andy:
Ah, ok, I think I get it. If you think it's worth it I can test a version that has it enabled. As it is at the moment only es file explorer could see the files, and as I was saying earlier tap sounds were lagging and video of any sort (YouTube, or my own videos with the default player) weren't working.

Build May 17, 2015

Regular weekly update with an important note. There was a change in the CM upstream where kernels not compiled recently will result in a System UI FC loop on boot. I have an internal kernel build dated 5/12 and it doesn't work on this build, so it's safe to assume that's the cutoff date for compatible kernels. I have not tested any other custom kernel, but try at your own risk.

Rom:

Remove pthread GCC flag, a bit better battery life and an intermediate step in the next optimization

Update Nova Launcher to Stable 4.0

Sync up with CM up until May 17 9:00AM PST

Kernel:

Common: Enabled support for exFat and NTFS for kernel

Common: Update to GCC flags

Mako: Attempted to lower the overall screen brightness, it seems that things were already at the lowest

Mako: CPUs go idle faster

SaberModCM12.1-20150517-jflte.zip

SaberModCM12.1-kernel-jflte-20150517.zip

SaberModCM12.1-kernel-jflte-20150517-MakoHotplug.zip

This will probably be the last build built with GCC 4.9, there are a lot of issues with 4.9 and I'm already re-adding many things built on 4.8, so might as well revert for stability's sake
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FernBch:
Interesting kernel comment. I had issues on CM just before that time as well. Biggest problem was apps installed as system apps began to act very strange (ie: better battery stats). I also had issues with several crashing or being missing on restart if the phone shutdown on low battery, too.

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

One other thing I noticed was in the days prior to that when I flashed a new update on initial boot the screen went from saying "optimizing 172 apps" to 140 apps. The number of installed apps never changed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MM13:
I've been on a GPE rom since December and wanted something different. Yesterday I flashed Resurrection Remix but something was telling me to download and try this rom so i did. Im in the process of reinstalling my apps from the playstore.

I can't believe how smooth and fast this rom is. I thought i'd stay with resurrection remix for my daily drive but I was wrong. This rom will be my new daily driver :)

I would like to make a small request and I apologize if it was already requested. Is it possible to add customization for the heads up notifications? Like to be able to change how long you want them to appear? Or is that already in this rom and i can't find it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
Just to report that the new build is working flawlessly on a clean flash with mako kernel, I'm using latest SlimGAPPS and all smooth and snappy as usual. Thanks for the update!

The option is not in the ROM, you can only enable/disable heads up, maybe Synergy will add it in the future. Enjoy the ROM, is a true gem

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ktecho:
Hi there people,

Any update on picture quality for pictures taken with CM roms? I would like to use this rom, but last time I used a CM ROM, camera quality was far below the Samsung official ones.

Any thing I can do to improve it? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
TW camera quality is very hard to obtain on stock cm camera, I recommend you a third party camera like google camera, the best out there is snap camera which has on par quality with stock samsung TW camera, is only $5 or less and you'll never have to worry about the camera on any CM ROM
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
Totally agree with [MENTION=5615286]dclarkg[/MENTION] The TW camera quality isn't possible on AOSP ROMs. Try a better camera from play store.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ktecho:
I don't mind buying a new camera app, but I want it to have similar quality as TW camera, as I use the phone to make pictures a lot.

I tried Snap Camera and one time after the shoot, screen gets blank and I have to kill the process, so I think it's not too stable. Maybe I could try it with this rom to see if things improve.

Overall, quality of Snap Camera is near the one of TW, but it's slower.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FernBch:
I've been using the paid Snap for a couple years now. The only time I remember having issues was when CM made a major change (kernel, version, etc). When this has happened either CM or Snap would update or fix fairly quick and all would be fine again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MM13:
Im using snap camera and never had a problem with it :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
I read this last night before you deleted it. I'd like to know what happened with your situation.

Please be more specific. Please see Post #3

I haven't added anything in a while, I'll try to look into Heads Up within the next two builds.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] noskojv:
There is no desire to do it all, after this version terribly slow, the dialer opens with a strong delay in the dialing and calling too much delay, the unit seemed to freeze and does not react.

I'll look for another firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
I suggest snap camera as well. I'm running the latest build and all is fine and as smooth and buttery as ever.

I'm sorry to hear that your phone doesn't work but unfortunately is not the ROM, I've been using the ROM since day one and no issues at all, last update is incredible smooth and the dialer opens just fine, maybe is time for you to flash a stock TW firmware to update everything in your device, people tend to think that is never their phone despite that no one else has issues
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] noskojv:
I know how to deal with a smartphone and I also use the rom on the first day.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] qsqsqsqs:
I want to try out this ROM since the antaresone's future is unsure at the moment and I'm having some issues with it. Currently my system partition is F2FS. Do I have to convert it manually to Ext4 before flashing this rom or will the installation automatically convert it to Ext4?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
Maybe next build, but I'm beginning to test some new optimizations and I believe they require GCC4.9. I will do some testing over the next couple of days and after that try to bring it back to GCC4.8

I've seen this problem discussed in the CM12.1 nightlies and Antares' ROM. It may be an upstream issue

You don't have to convert back to EXT4, you just need to do a full wipe since you're coming from Antares'
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] eepgmja:
How do I know if my memory partitions are F2FS or Ext4?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
Settings > Developer Options > Enable Local Terminal then

App drawer > Terminal and type

mount | grep f2fs

All F2FS partitions will show up there
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] eepgmja:
Nothing showed up :( I'm almost sure that at least cache and data partitions are f2fs
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] oran3e1:
ok... well i tried to get that catlog and i cant get anymore information on it, i did a fresh boot and saved the .txt file and all
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bleedos:
Yeah I reopened MD5Checker jsut to make sure and Mako patch md5 sum did not match so I went on the first post to redownload the mako hotplug patch and saw that it was more recent that what I already had so I redownloaded the rom, the patch and some updated GApps package. I checked all md5 sum and they all matched. I'm ready to flash. Could not afford to flash this morning because I needed a functionnal phone all day long so I put the "flashing" on hold. My phone is almost dead. I'll probably flash tonight or tomorrow between two lines of code :)

Thanks!! I did not know there were an integrated terminal app! ;)

I typed the recommended command in the terminal app and it showed system, cache and data (I'm currently on a ROM that supports all partitions as f2fs).

You may try to type

mount | grep /data

It will show you your data partition. For me, it gives

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata /data f2fs rw,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,......

You can see f2fs right after /data. Try this and it will tell you the truth.

Hi there, I wanted to say thank you for your hard work. I love this ROM - so smooth and fast. Regularly updated and has all the links and instructions. :good::good::good:

I have a question though, is there anyway of reducing the "back button to kill apps" timer? It takes so long to kill an app.. wanted to see if there is anything we can do to lower that? Besides that, keep up the hard work :good::good::good:

Audio issues

Regarding the audio issues in the GCC4.9 builds. There are certain audio files that the ROM will not want to play, and it is caused by being built with GCC 4.9. libstagefright and libmediaplayerservice are two of modules that I had to revert to get some audio files users sent me to play. But there are still some other issues.

I could just go back and find the rest of the files that don't like being on GCC4.9 and insert a version compiled in GCC4.8, mainly because I really like the speed GCC4.9 gives and there are some optimizations not available on 4.8.

I also could just revert back to GCC4.8 entirely, but that would take a lot of convincing for me. If any other issues do pop up, be sure to test it on a clean flash and if it persists, try a clean flash of my April 26th build, my last GCC4.8 compiled ROM. If the issue goes away, its a GCC 4.9 problem, and it'll bring me closer to just going back to 4.8.

Edit: Other findings, not all audio files are broken. If one exists in a folder, it breaks music playback for every song in the same folder, for some reason
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] noskojv:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
I'm going to upload a ROM built with GCC4.8 later today. It may fix your issues. If it doesn't then the issues created are coming from the CM upstream, because the 4/26 build is pretty old.

Slowly but surely trying to make my way through the list. First thing is to address if there is an issue with GCC4.9. I haven't been able to make much progress without any logs to back up bugs.

To everyone, I've updated Post #3 with an example of what I'm looking for in a logcat
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Triscuit:
Synergy, do you think that could be the issue with the SIM not being detected? You do you think that's a whole other problem. I'm happy to test for you for the Verizon variant.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
It's possible, a logcat would help me the most in this situation to see if there are any internal issues. But if you could test out this next release later today, we'll see if it's a GCC4.9 issue. I'm betting that it is since the jfltevzw forums don't have any data issues
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Triscuit:
OK I'll keep an eye out for the update, if I continue to get no SIM, I'll pull a logcat, do you prefer pastebin or a text file. And I'm sorry but I wasn't aware of the Verizon forums for this ROM, could you direct me to it?

Double checked that bluetooth, webview issues, audio issues are not present with me. I leave it up to you to check if calling works, SIM issues are gone, or if overall laggyness is gone.

Unfortunately, installing your May 17th build did not work for me. Same thing as the two previous tries. This time, I made a 100% percent sure all md5 matched for all zips. Even TWRP told me md5 matched.

Flash goes well, first boot is quick, setup goes well. After reboot, it takes a really long time and when I finally see the lock screen, it pauses for 2 seconds and the bootloops!

I was at work so I just restored my backup. I may try not installing mako hotplug or event changing the kernel this weekend!

I'll keep you posted if something works!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
I'd prefer if you just submit those to CM so everyone benefits from those translations.

I've installed this ROM yesterday after using the TW version of Lollipop for 1 day.

This ROM flies in comparison, it's amazing! There have been no hiccups or lags yet and the battery life is impressive for a 2 year old device! It dropped only 2% overnight, previously it used to drop around 10% with a KitKat ROM.

I've installed the May 20th version with the Mako kernel and left all the settings to the default. Well done and keep it up! :good: :D
