Leave it stock so all users can decide, flash a custom over the original gives less issues than flashing a custom over the custom, also it's easier to track bugs across the releases with stock, plus, it's more cyanogen oriented
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Vcolumn:
I'd give stock kernel a try.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
I have been considering this ever since [MENTION=1897326]googy_anas[/MENTION] and now recently [MENTION=4325945]ktoonsez[/MENTION] made CM compatible kernels. I want to give people a chance to try out what they want. This doesn't change much by switching to Stock, if you are an Alucard fan, you can just flash his latest kernel. It's the same thing as me putting it into my ROM, I just gave you guys one less thing to flash.

Thank you for you guys' input so far, I am still in the middle of trying to make the stock kernel work with F2FS, and that will take a while. I am procrastinating very badly and must get through my last two weeks of school
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
I guess leaving it stock gives us the option to decide since if you put a custom one is harder for the average user to get back the stock and we all can get the custom kernel of choice right away. You can focus in the school while Lollipop gets all the big bugs sorted out, school is far more important :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] XBlackChaosX:
I have a problem. For the past week or 2 I've been getting random reboots. It doesn't happen often but I've noticed that in the past 2 days they have increased slightly. Now, I know the problem Is not the rom (at least I don't think so) so how can I track down and pinpoint what is causing the random reboots?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
Give us more information. List any mods you have flashed. Any kernel configuration you might have made. Did this occur after upgrading from a previous release without a full wipe. Does this happen after using certain apps. Be more attentive to what you're doing so you can narrow it down and someone can help you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] XBlackChaosX:
I did flash 2 mods, I flashed the qualcomm optimized dalvik & bionic libraries & BSDjakes "mother of all ad blocking" mods when I first installed the rom. I've made no kernel configurations. I did a fully clean install. No it doesn't happen after using anything specific. It just happens randomly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
Reflash the ROM and GApps. Don't flash the optimized libraries, they may be conflicting with things. If the problems persist, then something else is causing the problem
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] XBlackChaosX:
OK, will try that sometime today or tomorrow then I'll wait a few days to a week to see if it subsides and then I'll report back to let you know how it went.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] XBlackChaosX:
I know longer experience the rebooting issue ever since I really reflashed the rom without the optimized dalvic and bionic libraries. Thanks synergy.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Me Gusta:
[MENTION=4829924]Synergy510[/MENTION] are there any plans on cm12 yet? The latest builds on the forum pretty solid! :) or do you have to wait for the toolchains to be updated?

Me Gusta!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
I'm working on it right now, but don't expect a build anytime soon. I have builds going behind the scenes, but I'm doing a lot of testing myself, just like how I started this project before I released it, so it may take a while.

To keep you guys updated on what I'm trying to do:

I've tried to use SaberMod, however I've run into some errors, but I'm looking into that

I'm using lesser compilation flags than the normal JustArchi Optimizations, mainly the ones that matter -O3 and a couple others

Thanks to [MENTION=5464206]AntaresOne[/MENTION], I'm going to ship this with the stock CM kernel since it can now support F2FS and I've added and am still trying to add some customization to it with FIOPS and some intelli governors thanks to [MENTION=3332811]faux123[/MENTION]

The stock kernel still gives the green tint on the screen, so I'm hoping [MENTION=4899086]alucard_24[/MENTION] will release his fix

This slightly modified stock kernel will allow you to flash any other custom kernel of your choice without any drawback

I want to give some apps a dark material theme, mainly looking at MMS, Settings and the Dialer, but this may take a while

Customization as with the speakerphone target and smart pulldown and others make take some time to cherry-pick

So far my first build has been plenty fast and solid, and battery life is way better than on my CM11 and the GPE5 I've been on recently. I don't have too much time to test and build because of school. but hopefully I can put something out :fingers-crossed: I don't want to release something that's too similar to other projects or with half-assed features, so I'm taking my time
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Me Gusta:
Thanks man, I really appreciate it! And I think we all do ;)

Me Gusta!

[MENTION=4829924]Synergy510[/MENTION]: I'm curious, is your project still alive? 3 weeks and counting that nothing has been posted here...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
Sorry for the long wait. I've been busy with school and ROM compilation problems.

Any jfltexx people want to test something?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] munichsfinest:
I could test something beginning at around 2 pm today.

CM12 beta test

Nandroids nandroids nandroids!

This has taken a couple weeks since my last post to get almost perfect, now I need some feedback to finalize this, so I'm bringing this as an open beta test, so flash at your own risk!

Some notes:

You may be able to dirty flash over CM12, but full wipe is recommended. I have had some problems where I dirty flash coming from my own previous builds and the phone will not boot, going back into recovery and wiping /system and reflashing fixes this. If someone can dirty flash and successfully boot, let me know! You can flash your favorite gapps package after this.

F2FS is support on /data and /cache only automatically. I tried having /system formatted with F2FS, but it left me in an irrecoverable state and I had to Odin back to stock.

Stock kernel is an enhanced version of CM's stock kernel. Some new governors and some tweaks are included (sauce). Feel free to flash any other custom kernel of your choice. You can modify the governors with Trickster's Mod if you like, I prefer stock settings, I've been getting pretty good battery life, but I haven't had time for the kernel to settle with my constant updates to kernel and ROM

Other changes to the ROM will be included in the official announcement, but I'd like your guy's opinions and bug findings.

P.S. Settings > Status Bar > Superuser Indicator switch will FC if root is not enabled

P.P.S This is for jfltexx (and even jfltetmo if you have a jfltexx recovery) , I don't know about the other variants due to the de-unification of the jf devices

Nandroid nandroid nandroid
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
Does the LP version includes sabermod and justarch?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
Just SaberMod and Graphite, a compilation tool that I believe is better than JustArchi's optimizations. Everything feels like butter
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
Niiiice, I'll try this baby as soon as I get home
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
I installed the ROM on a clean flash, I just had a system UI fc while changing the status bar options but I was downloading/installing a bunch of apps at tje same time and it didn't happen again, also the weather doesn't show on the status bar but I also noticed that the weather clock widget is missing so I guess is related. I flashed latest supersu on recovery right after flashing the rom and all fine, TB works, latest PA GAPPS as well, installed trickster MOD to check the kernel but left the stocks settings (nice to see FIOPS sched) So far it works like a charm and definitely more smooth that the CM nightlies I've been using. Wifi/3g superb as well.

I'm going to bed and I will leave it charging overnight and see how it goes. Nice work Synergy
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] thunderforce88:
Can't flash it on my sgh-m919... :( error in twrp 2.8.4.0
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
I'm sorry, this is a jfltexx package. So if you're running a jfltetmo recovery it won't apply. I forgot to change the updater-script to allow you, but I'll remember to change that in the future.

Also, as a general question, are there any other people who use a different variant? I'm sad that jf isn't unified anymore, I know this will support xx and tmo, but has any att users tried flashing an xx build with out having to flash something else?

Also, I'm really looking out for the other variants, Please let me know if there's a demand for your variant, I'd make variant builds, otherwise it'd waste my time. If it ends up being just one or two of you with a variant, I could teach you how to build CM12
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Me Gusta:
Looking really good synergy! Oh, and SuperSU thingie toggle in the status bar is working fine for me!

Me Gusta!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] thunderforce88:
If i flash AntaresOne TWRP 2.8.3.0, it will work? Sorry for my noob question loll :o
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
Yes or you can just flag jolted recovery which is for I9505 international version. I'm using that on my TMobile SGH-M919 and it works fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] thunderforce88:
How can i do that?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] XBlackChaosX:
I too couldn't install on my m919. Ill just wait till you fix it to allow T-Mobile sgs4 to work with the rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
Same file, just added tmo support.

Feedback is greatly appreciated, guys.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] thunderforce88:
Thanks! I already modified the updater-script with Total Commander but thank you for your time :)

Run flawlessly, really smooth no bug so far.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] munichsfinest:
Feedback, as far as I can tell from a few hours spent at home: Incredibly fast and smooth, no FCs or similar annoyances, no flashing problems, everything just fine :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
Hello SaberMod CM12!

Nothing else for anyone to report? ROMs been great for me as well, and I'm ready to flag the "beta" file as the first official build. Anyone who's already flashed the build previous to this post should ignore this post

2/5/2015

First CM12 Build!

Compiled ROM and Stock kernel compiled with SaberMod Toolchain

Added O3, Graphite and GCC flag Optimizations

Removed ad-blocking hosts file, added AdAway for a more customizable and lighter hosts file

Smart Pulldown added

Switch to disable Superuser icon in statusbar

Switch to disable Provacy Guard notifications

Switch to enable legacy notification ticker
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] BakedTator:
Jflteusc variant could use some love...I know there are a good bit of us...we use vanir and the optimized cm12 builds right now...only lollipop Roms that are just our variant or unified...thank you for your willingness to support this vatiant
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] feelpt:
No feedback is sometimes a good sign ;)

Rom has been running great. Reeeeeally smoth, like you said. Some minor FCs with theme changing, but I would say it was not on the Rom side.

From my 45 backed up apps with Titanium Backup, there was one where it would get stuck : a game called deck heroes. Really weird, since all the other apps went ok.

Coming from Slim based builds i miss a couple of things, like date in status bar, pie, network traffic in status bar and some minor visual tweaks.

For the rest, congrats for the build. Definitely solid enough to get out of beta status.

Ps - 1 thing i just remembered , when wi-fi off and data off, 2G signal in status bar has a exclamation mark. not sure what it means and i think there was someone else talking about it in other threads, but doesn't seem to affect signal or something related
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sevsman:
Can I ask what browser people are using to download this ROM? For some reason I can't get it on Boat, Chrome or the stock browser :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] munichsfinest:
I had to get it via PC, where I saw that the I had to untick "download with download manager" or so, which was not shown on the phone's browsers.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
Sorry that I'm late to the launching party! After a full day on the Beta (now the official version) I must say that I'm impressed by the smoothness of the ROM, everything works perfect and not a single FC. Mobile data and wifi works great but I didn't test BT since I don't use it. The battery life on stock settings is superb and the addition of FIOPS is greatly appreciated. This is definitely a daily driver, super smooth.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] XBlackChaosX:
I had the same issue. Download it with firefox mobile browser, That should help you, I was able to fully download it with no problem vs other browsers where I only downloaded a 29kb file. Maybe it's a problem with dht hosting site, not sure.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] asusgarb:
Sorry for the noob question. I'm on a Note 3, but I'm going yo flash this ROM on my friend's S4. I'm not addicted on S4, so help me to choose right, please.

Can I install this ROM on i9505?

Which version of TWRP I have to choose (stock or modified)?

Thanks a lot, I don't want to brick my friend's phone, so asking is the better thing.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Soufiansky:
Guys is this rom more stable than CM12 ? :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] popliuc:
Theme engine download/upload in status bar and buttons actions are available?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Battlehero:
Keep up the great work!

Amazing ROM, I just hope that it get updated every so often :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
Two days of full use and not a single FC or issues, those optimizations and compiling tools do make a difference, the ROM is pure butter smoothness with great battery life, BT, wifi and 3g work very well!:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Soufiansky:
You really excite me , specially you my friend , you always try those roms based on cyanogen mod.

Is this rom smoother than CM ? I'm using official cyanogen and have some camera bug and apps force close..

Thanks ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
Hehe yes, I'm a flashholic that flash pretty much whatever new rom appears. :)

Pretty much Synergy's optimized ROMs were my 1st choice back on KK (along with Dan's CM) because of the O3/justarch optimizations that made the ROM incredible smooth, specially on ART.

Now on the LP era I've tried Antares CM, official CM, Dan's GPe, crDroid and the one from Ross (the ROM name slips my mind at this moment) and right now this is my first choice both in battery life and smoothness/stability, not a single error, freeze or FC of any kind, he modified the stock CM kernel to include the FIOPS scheduler which is a must have for flash memory and the default kernel settings he placed are pretty much what you need, the smoothness is almost or equal to GPe that for me is the smoothest ROM right now but it also has a lot of CM customization settings and so far the best battery life for me. Give it a try, you won't regret it :)

P.D: About the camera I don't know since I use snap camera but nobody has complained about it in the thread, knowing Synergy ROMs I would say it will work perfect or at least better than other CM roms
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Soufiansky:
Thank you for this very detailed answer , i trust you and every rom/kernel you advice me , when i try it i'm always satisfied . GPE is very smooth ,so if this rom is even smoother , i don't know how it will be ! :good:

Ross rom is "Ressurection" ;)

I will try it and see if the camera is working well as i use it a lot :)

Thanks again , will report back .
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
I'm glad to hear that I've help you with my advises, I'm not an authority on Android but I do flash ROMs a lot so I'm happy to share my findings/opinions with the community, happy flashing! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
Please post some screen shots of the battery life on this ROM if possible.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lan78691:
I would love to try this on my phone. Running jflteatt variant. I think jftlexx should work on mine if I flash the Loki.zip after flashing ROM tho.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] guspeed:
Its on previous pages, sometimes it is good to read a little more than the last post. Just saying!!! :o
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Soufiansky:
Even if it's the first boot and a lot of apps are downloading , the rom is smooth so far . The boot animation is awesome , i love it !

This rom is as fast as gpe rom with some customizations , i kind of ressurection rom .

Everything is good until now , great work dev , to be honest i was scared , i was saying " Hmm this rom isn't so popular maybe it will be laggy" but i was wrong.

For battery life i will see how it perform in the first cycle charge :)

Great rom my friend .

It will be cool if you add the "Pictures to sd card" features to camera ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
Do you know if this was available in CM11? I forget

You're awesome! Thank you for reporting nothing but smooth sailing :D

I'm currently trying to build a jflte (all variants) build based on [MENTION=5464206]AntaresOne[/MENTION]'s sources on his github. I'm worried about if there was a specific reason why jf was un-unified, if it led to any instability or loss of battery life. Don't take this as an announcement to get ready to flash, I'm looking at a release schedule or about a week or more (Building is fun, but school is more important)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Soufiansky:
Yes on CM11 we could choose "pictures to sd card" on camera ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] feelpt:
One thing that I used to do with every CM11 rom I downloaded, would be going through the apps and private apps folder before flashing, and delete whatever I didnt use. You guys know if we could use this process with CM12? Because now the apks are in specific folders.. Can we delete each app folder that we don't want?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
I did a few pages back, It was the very first charge so the kernel was not settled, as days go by battery life should improve :)

Without your awesome work I couldn't be reporting smooth sailing so thank YOU ;)

I strongly recommend Titanium Backup for that Job, hassle-free! Just remove the apps you don't need and reboot!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
I would recommend adding back the lastest trebuchet launcher so at least we have the choice to use it. I prefer it over Google now launcher, I have nova prime but I can't get the home screen setup like trebuchet.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Battlehero:
The reason why the CM branch was separated for Jflte devices because some commits sometimes caused problems for some devices and the maintainer found it difficult to find the individual commits causing the issues. This is what I heard from some devs.

PS I can't express how smooth this ROM is, I'm a flashaholic but I keep returning to this ROM.

I really hope you continue your great work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] eongab:
hands down to this ROM. super smooth. been using your CM11 ROM for quite a while.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] BakedTator:
Super excites about the unified builds possibly coming! His build is stable so that shouldn't be an issue
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
Thanks mate, sorry I jumped guns there.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
Since you asked, some screenshots on the 50% mark ;)

4th battery cycle, 1st on intelimm governor and read ahead decreased to 256.

P.D: This ROM is indeed Smooth and Stable, not a single issue in 4 days and the smoothness is constant. Nice!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] feelpt:
i might have found a small issue :

i was trying to find a replacement for slim pie and was messing around with nav ring that is available when you enable nav bar.

my goal is to have a quick shortcut with "kill app". with nav ring you can have that, but every time i press it i have "systemui fc"

To those users with amazing smooth performance and thus far battery life: are you using stock kernel that came with it, or googy max?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lan78691:
Amazing ROM! But getting no service on lockscreen. Anyone else? Is this a CM bug?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:

I can't download the rom. Tried with both buttons and nothing start the download. How actually you did it guys?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] munichsfinest:
On my computer. The website contains one of these annoying download managers, and the option to untick it can't be seen on the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lan78691:
Works fine on other CM12 Roms and Dan's GPE ROM so I don't think it is a modem issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] LimitsX:
While I was downloading ES file manager from playstore, I had system ui FC.. any ideas why?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
Could be anything.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] LimitsX:
So is this rom auto-rooted or I have to root it? If I want to root it, what is the procedure please? I am new to Lollipop!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
It's a rooted ROM, you didn't have to root it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sparksco:
Just wanted to stop by and say kudos for using SaberMod :)

Also I took the liberty of checkout out the source and I didn't see SaberMod optimizations for the ROM in build or vendor. I have commits on SaberMod github for liquidsmooth ROM that should work OK on cm12.

Also checkout commits for settings and device tree lge hammerhead for more corresponding commits.
