Build 10/19 Bluetooth fixes!

Hi guys, I was really waiting for Alucard's next amazing kernel for this release and I've been testing it ever since it went out yesterday. Bluetooth works miles better than previous builds which makes me very happy as a bluetooth earphone user. I also lowered the speaker volume so I hope it fixes the notification volume distortion. Hope you guys enjoy! Any feedback is greatly appreciated

10/19/2014

Synced to CM 10/19 about 10AM PST, so we got all the Bluetooth fixes. It works so much better now

Updated to Alucard kernel 1.4m. The flash will delete your /data/.alucard folder, I will include this every time I update the kernel

Included Synapse, another kernel tweaking app included with Alucard's kernel. If it becomes the official tweaker, I'll add it to the settings menu also

Updated to SuperSU 2.14, although you may need to update your SU binaries

Updated boot animation to the new L preview animations, slower than the previous

Removed CPU rendering (again) it works really well with Ondemand GPU governor, I was using Simple originally

Reverted CM's increases to jf's speaker values
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
I flashed the ROM and everything is running perfect except that my 16 gb SDcard is not being fully recognized, some folders and files do not show on root explorer, also TB does not recognize the SDcard backup folder, if I try to set it manually the folders show but as not selectable files (no folder icon). Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Me Gusta:
Looks good! I do get some gapps FC's, but I think I used the wrong gapps.. I used slim gapps, because those were the only one I had available on my phone.. Which one's should I use instead?

Me Gusta!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] noskojv:
Try this . :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
What format is your SD card?

Slim does some things to their gapps, so changing gapps like that might cause some weirdness. Are you still getting FCs? If so you might want to reflash the ROM then flash whatever gapps you had before

What's this from? I extracted the boot animation for the ROM from my nexus 7 running the newest L preview
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
exFAT, I re downloaded the ROM and flash it again but the issue is there, I can only see 3 folders and a few files, if I tried to copy something on the SD I get a fail error but if I flash another ROM the SD works fine and it even shows the "failed copied files" in there.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
I'll look into it. I see something I can try adding, but I don't have as much time anymore due to school. Maybe around the weekend I can try to fix it
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] koz_:
Thanks - just got that working.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] koz_:
Is there a way to stop the app menu from being white? Even theme-changing doesn't work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
Clean or dirty install?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] koz_:
Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
Did you do a clean install of the rom, wipe cache, dalv and system or did you flash the latest version over a previous version without wiping.

Errors like that happen when you don't clean install, that's why I asked.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] koz_:
I wiped the cache, Dalvik cache and system, yes.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
When you say app menu what exactly do you mean?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] koz_:
It's the place where all my installed app icons are. Normally accessed using the button that sits in the bottom-centre of the screen that looks like six dots in a white circle.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
Yea i know what you mean you have to change in nova launchers settings. It seems novas settings overrides that of themes.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nikkpap:
non-knox bootloader where can i get one ??
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gkkovacs:
It's funny that while you tell others about a clean install, and you have no idea what it is.

Clean install means you wipe data.

You don't have to wipe system, because it gets wiped when you flash a ROM by the installer script.

Wiping cache and dalvik are not enough for a clean install, because data (even data that belong to system apps) will stay on the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
A clean install is the wiping of the system, dalvic cache and cache partitions. Wiping data is not necessary as that's just what's on the phone itself like music or whatever.

What are you going on about, I'm just trying to help you. Piss off.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gkkovacs:
You are not helping anyone by spreading false information. Even less helping by repeating it.

Wiping data is absolutely necessary for a clean install, as /data partition is far from being only "music or whatever", it is the partition that holds the data to all your system settings, system apps and user app data. Also, music is on the sdcard, you don't have to wipe that!

When you update your system with new kernel and apps, sometimes they can get crazy by loading old app data that was used by an older (or buggier) version. The only reliable way of getting app data back is from Google (via Backup in Settings), and even that is sometimes able to mess things up.

So let me repeat:

clean flash: wiping of data (and of course system, cache and dalvik cache), you need to reinstall / restore your phone

upgrade: not wiping data (but wiping system, cache, dalvik cache), you don't have to restore anything

dirty flash: not wiping anything (same as above, because many rom installers wipe cache and dalvik in addition to system)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
I have never wiped my data partition in all of my flashing of roms, only this time converting to f2fs and I have NEVER experienced a problem. I ran TW, gpe aosp you name it. As I said before wiping the data partition is not necessary.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sevsman:
gkkovacs is absolutely correct!!!!

Data left from previous installs can cause major upset with a new ROM!!

If people read any well informed OP's of ROMs, they will see that wiping Data is ALWAYS a part of the install process!!

Nathan
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
Well I can accept when I'm wrong but i never wipe the data partition and don't ever get any problems.

My apologies to you gkkovacs.

Quick update

Last week I had final projects and papers due. I had time this weekend to build, but I came across some toolchain errors that I'm still trying to fix. I could release a build, but it would be built with GCC4.9 and still have some call and audio issues. But I'm going to hold off for another week after I finish finals and graduate college (:D) to refresh my build server and get things pushed out.

May 25th should still be pretty solid, iirc, and I haven't seen any big features being added just bug fixes, but anyone can prove me wrong.

I can release the build I'm creating for people willing to test, whenever it finishes.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FernBch:
A "clean" flash always includes wiping /data. That's what makes it clean. Any data that is left behind from a previous install can have some affect on how a new ROM behaves. The "weird" part of flashing software is out of 100 devices running the same software is most users will not have issues but some will. This is because of minor differences in hardware (due to the fact that each component is not exactly perfect), different user app configurations, and so on.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] limpbisquit:
I just flashed the may 25 build with mako kernel and I'm not 100% sure on this yet but I seem to have a noticeable improvement on battery life so far. Usually my by this time I would be around 60-75% but now I'm still at 80% and already at 1hour and 20mins SOT. Will give an update by the end of the day if it really did improve.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] solarding:
A new build would be nice although 5.25 is a really nice stable daily driver.

There is a fix for quicker brightness adjustment which i certainly could need. It is pretty annoying when outside my phone takes seconds to show the proper brightness so that i could read. especially i am using the BlackOut theme.

And the google camera crashes very now and then, though i'm not sure if it is a goggle issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] limpbisquit:
Ok, since going to 5/25 build from 5/17, my screen on time is now a consistent 5hours... I don't know how but it just went up by an hour. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nikkpap:

It does not work.

Can someone please upload sound recorder and FM radio app? (it needs some libs and other stuff to work) I can't find them on other forums
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] duxxyuk:
I've never seen my i9505 do FM radio reception. I was under the impression that the samsung didn't bother connecting the fm antenna pin on that Broadcom BCM4335 integrated wireless IC.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Sebastiansm:
Sorry, my mistake, I thought the S4 had FM Radio as the S4 Mini has it, any possibility for the sound recorder app?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] solarding:
My google camera crashes all the time when i enabled HDR, and also it is not stable at all, half of the time it will fail and cannot connect to the camera.

Do you guys have this problem too? which Camera do you use?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
I never use Google camera, use snap camera HDR its paid like $3.00 but its worth every penny.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FernBch:
I have also been using the paid version of snap for some time. It has always worked even when included cameras don't.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
HDR never worked properly on any aosp ROMs. One more alternative for HDR is A Better Camera, it has good HDR.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] solarding:
Well i also use Zoom FX, which is a paid version. Although it works batter, it has the cannot connect camera problem now and then . Is there a native Samsung camera we can use ?

New Build

Long time no see, but I've finally been able to put something out. I've been trying to solve build problems over the past weekend, and had to come up with some compromises. The SaberMod toolchain causes the loki patching to fail during flashing, so I've removed it from the updater-script. Locked bootloader users should already be on a Loki recovery or flash a Loki patch of some sort. I'm not a locked bootloader user, so I don't have too much knowledge on this.

I'm trying to solve this issue, but it requires a lot of rebuilding. About 2-3 hours after I make changes. Things I'm trying to do: 1) Fix this loki issue. 2) Move over to the official SaberMod optimizations. These are my two biggest goals because I feel like they should fix some issues I'm having.

The kernel is dated as June 7th, but it's the stock kernel that works perfectly fine with the June 18th build. I haven't been able to successfully build a kernel lately, but I haven't made any changes.

Lots have changed under the hood, so here it goes:

ROM:

Removal of AOSPA/Omni Ambient Display Implementation

Introduction of Samsung Doze, CM's Ambient Display for Samsung devices

Updated SaberMod Toolchain

Included Google's WebView, reduces build time for me and you guys get a more up to date WebView

Many many upstream merges since May 25 until June 17 6:00 PM PST

Kernel:

Merged stock kernel and Mako Hotplug, a swtich is available to enable Mako, but be sure to disable MPDecision

Low Memory Killer Optimizations thanks to [MENTION=3332811]faux123[/MENTION]

Mako Hotplug updates

Quick wakeup driver

Bugs still exist:

Call recording doesn't work

A clean install is highly recommended. You can dirty flash, but don't post about any errors or FCs you face.

[MENTION=4829924]Synergy510[/MENTION] One quick request if possible,that is if you have time and see it as something valid.

Can you include quickboot in this rom.

Call recording doesn't work again lo luck at all ????? i miss call recording and s-view from GPE can you merge it ????
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
The dev just said the bug still exists so chill .
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
Call recording doesn't work on this ROM and apparently JDC's Optimized version. If someone can confirm that it works on official nightlies, the bug is caused by the ArchiDroid optimizations. If you need call recording so desperately, find an app that does it or switch to another ROM that may have it enabled

S-View covers is something that had been implemented before but hasn't come back in CM12.x, it's somewhere in the upstream but people have other things to work on.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] eongab:
@ Synergy510 where can we find the switch to enable mako?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
I use Kernel Aduitor to enable this. It's a free app that has a lot of kernel control. I don't see the ability to switch this with Trickster's Mod.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] eongab:
got it. downloaded. just switch the mako hotplug on and turn off mpdecision. nothing else to tweak?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] vitalif:
Thanks for the rom, flashed it yesterday without updating the bootloader (I'm still on XXUAMDE), everything works fine with XXUBMH1 modem and wifi-fix on I9505.

Just one question: I remember previous CM versions had "CRT effect" animation when turning the display off - is it possible to enable this feature in your 12.1 build?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
Not sure I'd anyone else is experiencing this but with this latest build my phone is bugging out. It just freezes and random times and I have to pull the battery. Just doing normal things like switching tasks and installing apks. Also the mako hotplug settings aren't sticking and I'm using kernel auditor. I set turned it on, mp decision off, apply on boot but when I exit the app and go back the mako hotplug goes right off. Anyone else?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:


---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

It just happened again, I was on chrome clicked a video on fb and the phone froze I had to pull the battery. Is anyone getting behavior like this?

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

In no way am I complaining, just trying to get to the bottom of this but I was still on Facebook just scrolling and the phone froze again, I had to pull the battery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] eongab:
don't worry mate. you're not alone. i did clean install and same problems as yours.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
Ok thanks for your reply, that's load of my back.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
Does this only happen in Facebook? I don't use it that often, and this happened to me once, and I didn't think it would happen again. I wasn't able to produce it or grab a log, and I don't believe a last_kmsg is helpful if you force the phone off.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
It happened while I was installing apks more than once, reading through flipboard more than once, Twitter and some very random times. More than 15 times since I flashed this new build and I was using chrome to browse Facebook not the app.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
Does using a different kernel remedy this? It's possible it's just the kernel that's bad
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
All fine here on latest release, dirty flash, alucard stock settings. Great battery life, fb, wifi, bt, etc working great
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
I'll try one thanks for the patience.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
If everything is running fine for you on Alucard's kernel, then the kernel is a problem. I am rebasing it, because I believe the newest one was a bit broken to begin with. I've reverted the LZ4 compression because I cannot build with it, it seems that the 6/7 kernel was buildable, but had some errors.

I'm running a new kernel right now, reverted back to the normal compression, no errors so far and it should be a lot cleaner.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] eongab:
well just hold on then and wait for the next build.

EDIT: or meantime can we use the previous builds kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
I flashed alucard's kernel and the problems have stopped, seems it really was the kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Vcolumn:
i have been using your latest kernel on cm nightlies with xposed and haven't had any crashes. I do not use face book, and i chose to stick with MP decision hotplug because i didn't want 2 cores online all the time. I have a few other options tweaked in kernel auditor and everything flies with great battery life. sideloaded and playstore installed many apps. Appreciate all your work. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tricki:
Had also some problems with Chrome after clean install of the newest buld. Decided to reinstall Chrome because I used a version from Titanium Backup. After reinstalling Chrome from play store problems were not so bad anymore. But I still have the impression that this ROM is not as rock solid as the previous version. I have some strange Battery drain sometimes while unit is not used and it freezes occasionaly . Will try Alucad-Kernel now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tricki:
Okay, it seems that problems are gone with Alucad-Kernel.

New Build - July 9, 2015

Hey guys, I'm not dead yet.

I've been facing lots of problems both in trying to fix building errors and trying to find time to build. We've finally moved to the official SaberMod optimizations! Moving away from JustArchi's Optimizations, I feel that this build has more butter in it, especially in going through the UI. The kernel side has also been slimmed down to increase stability, no freezes or stutters seen as of yet. Remember to make a nandroid in case of anything! Another full wipe is recommended to install this.

ROM:

Removed JustArchi's Optimizations

Updated SaberMod toolchain

Added SaberMod Optimization info in Settings menu, mainly a cosmetic thing

Synced with CM upstream up until July 9 @ 11:00AM PST

Kernel:

Removed Mako Hotplug variant, it never hotplugged correctly anyway

Removed many commits and slimmed down to the essentials for better stability

Updated SaberMod Toolchain

This kernel now only features: Intelliactive, Intelliminmax, SmartMax CPU governors and FIOPS I/O scheduler

Default configuration is now Interactive/FIOPS

Removed SWEEP2SLEEP

XZ Compresion for a smaller boot.img

Synced with CM upstream up until July 9 @ 11:00AM PST

BUGS/FIXES:

Call recording seems to be fixed!

Ambient Display seems to be fixed from being broken in the recent nightlies

Keep an eye on my github to see what's coming up. I mainly look into kernel enhancements due to my time constraints, but I am looking for stable/easy things to add into the ROM itself.

[MENTION=4829924]Synergy510[/MENTION]: thanks a lot for your good work! :)

I just flashed your latest version from yesterday as update to the June version and have a little problem.

Although I'm nearly sure the problem has only indirectly to do with your ROM I ask for help here because it's related...

After flashing the ROM, the kernel and also (again) the GApps (I flashed gapps-5.1.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed.zip) I wiped the Dalvik cache and then rebooted.

Now continously the error message "the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" pops up.

I'm nearly unable to do anything else... :confused:

Any idea what was going wrong and how I could resolve from this error?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cp.:
Another full wipe is recommended to install this.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bodenseematze:
You don't need to write this in big letters :mad: - I already read it; but "recommended" is not "must", so I decided not to do a full wipe and thought it would work...

(because I don't want to loose all my settings...)

So is that the missing full wipe the reason for that error?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Triscuit:
Try updating your gapps as well.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bodenseematze:
Where can I find a package with newer ones?

I used the "minimal" packages from the link at the first page (@Jajb's Minimal GApps = gapps-5.1.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed.zip) and these are still the same... :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:

Ok but take your time with it, not a big deal. Everything is buttery smooth.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bodenseematze:
Thanks a lot!

That works like a charm - the TK GApps are really good, full control of what will be installed and what not - impressive! :D

Now everythings seems to work, no more error popups :)

And your ROM is really running smooth! Very good!

BTW, the TWRP link at the first page of this could also be updated to the 2.8.7 version ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] noskojv:

For a long time system applications and the PC did not see the SD card.

Call Recording :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tricki:
Most things work fine but there seems to be some issues with changing wall papers, designs and Bluetooth audio.

When I try to stream audio via Bluetooth system ui crashes every time. Music is still playing and I can control poweramp with the volume button but screen goes on and off without reaction and I have to restart the device. It was strange that the wallpaper changed to the default one and it could not be changed until I reinstalled the design.

Yes, I did a clean install :)
