Build May 4, 2015 - Sprint Fix

Hey guys, incremental build released. It is synced with CM up and until May 4, 2015, but there are minor internal updates coming from the CM upstream. You don't have to flash the ROM you're already on May 3rd. Although these kernels are newer

This is mainly a release for Sprint users, I've gotten confirmation from testers that they have mobile data with a new method of applying radio properties. The new method should allow a more robust way of ensuring your phone gets the proper configuration. Also there's a possible fix for [MENTION=6171195]Aleskdesousa[/MENTION] and your Free Mobile problems

ROM:

Sprint Mobile Data fixes

Change Free Mobile APN to the original

Sync with CM up and until May 4 (minimal changes from May 3)

Kernel:

Updated GCC 6.0.0 SaberMod Toolchain

Since this build I always have an android.process.acore FC, the SMS/MMS app always FC too. My previous build was the 26/04, I'm downgrading to this previous build. (I didn't change the kernel)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] limpbisquit:
Is there a big difference between the battery life of mako and regular kernel? Also i flashed the mako kernel and it says done but it also says i need to upgrade su binary, but my su binary is already up to date.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
What exactly is your issue. I didn't understand. BTW I'm not getting any delay in dialer opening.

---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

Just to report that I'm on May 4th build and it's solid. Buttery smooth and stable. Thanks a lot for the amazing update.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
Did you try a clean flash? Do you use AdBlock? What other modifications do you have on the ROM? Very weird how you have all these issues.

Mako hotplug focuses on having 2 cores online and bringing all 4 online when the load is necessary, but some tweaking to the hotplug values may be needed. This would benefit people who don't do very high load things on their phone. but I give people the option to choose both to see which one suits them more. I can't really say myself because I'm still try to tweak values, but the battery seems a little bit better on Mako with light browsing.

Please be more descriptive. As [MENTION=2836664]a103[/MENTION] said, I don't get any lag in opening the dialer. If you mean when the frequent contact lists need to load their pictures, it doesn't take more than a second to load.

"This subscriber is interrupted" What does that mean? Are you not getting service?

Confirmed on the call recording not working. I'll look into it.

Please next time be more descriptive in the issues and say what you've done to see that it doesn't work and maybe explain things you've done to try and fix it. Help me help you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] noskojv:
I'll make you a video later.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Aleskdesousa:
Well I updated my phone and did a cache and dalvik wipe. Then when the phone started I had these FC.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
When the issues started to happen, what ROM were you coming from, or did you do a full wipe? The issues may be carrying over if you upgraded from either my SaberMod CM12.0 or some other ROM without a full wipe.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fatboysh:
May 4 rom running great on jflteusc
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
I must say this ROM and this latest update is like butter and battery is great for me with stock kernel. I didn't even set the app animations to x5, that would just take away from the beauty. Not the last last build though I was on the latest so I didn't have to flash that one. You know what I mean.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] limpbisquit:
I flashed the mako hotplug, not sure if i successfully did it though.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
If you flashed it, it's automatically on. Unfortunately I don't have a way to tell if you're on the kernel, I'll add that in the next build. For now, use Kernel Auditor to verify that MPDecision is off and you have options to tweak Mako hotplug
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Aleskdesousa:
The issue started at the first boot of the 4/05 build. Previously I had the 26/04 build. I've always been using your ROM and I had SaberMod CM12.1 . I didn't do a full wipe.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
Just wanted to day thanks [MENTION=4829924]Synergy510[/MENTION] for the amazing ROM. Been using it for few days and getting good performance, battery and stability out of box without any tweaks. This is with greenify and location On when needed. Mostly on LTE with a 3000 mAh battery. This is third charge so it'll definitely improve further. Thank you Sir...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] limpbisquit:
Wow those are good stats. I barely get 4 hours screen on time when i browse a lot using wifi and watch a couple of youtube vids. My sync is off, my locations are off, brightness at lowest setting, on airplane mode the whole time. :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ahoslc:
He is using a bigger then stock battery ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
Correct however it's just 400 mAh more than the stock. I'm sure the battery life with stock 2600 mAh would also be good. I also like the fact that I don't need to tweak anything to get the most. It's already done by the dev. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ahoslc:
Yup it's way good my point was just to make sure he didn't think that was the expected battery life with stock battery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
Absolutely correct mate.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] limpbisquit:
Yeah i kinda noticed. I tried watching vids straight on youtube and i only get 3 hours screen on time. Still on lowest brightness, sync off, location off, and airplane mode. :( is it possible UC browser drains battery a lot more than other browsers? I'm using the latest build with stock kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
It could be your battery too, I mean if it's an old battery the life reduces with use. I had to change mine in 18 months.

Hello, I installed the newest version today, coming from GPE by Danvdh. Everything works fine but I don't get a GPS-Fix. GPS-Test sees satellites and could use three of them after quite a long time but no fix.

Build May 10, 2015

I don't have much time due to school, but here's an update.

ROM:

Graphite updates

SaberMod Toolchain update

Better system stability

Sync up with CM up until May 10 3:00PM PST

Kernel:

Common: Tie GPU to touch events for smoother interfaces

Common: Enabled the Deadline IO scheduler

Common: Slimbus overclock thanks to [MENTION=5899304]Tkkg1994[/MENTION]

Mako: Add kernel name, you can check in Settings > About Phone

Mako: Updated Ramdisk such that Powersave, Balanced and Performance profiles will set proper tunings to Mako Hotplug

Mako: Updated the Balanced (default) profile's load threshold. The hotplug will stay as a dual-core with low loads, but will more easily go up to quad if the load demands it

Mako: Many many updates and optimizations coming form [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]'s Flo and [MENTION=5899304]Tkkg1994[/MENTION]'s jf kernels

Bugs:

Call recording still broken

It's a good bet to say that I focused mainly on making the Mako kernel a bit better, but some commits made it to the stock kernel. Stock works just as it always has, I'm trying to make Mako even better than stock, so give it a shot! I believe it's very much worth a shot!

You can get a more detailed look into what's gone in the kernels here and here

Good thing I hit refresh this morning... Have been planning on trying the 4th of May build for a few days (even downloaded it this morning) .

Just in the process of setting everything back up after a super clean install (ODIN 5.0.1 TW mainly to make sure the camera firmware was updated) then TWRP, F2FS formatting and boom (with Mako kernel).

Everything looking good so far apart from a very strange Bluetooth Share error on initial bootup (during the google/setup screens). Will have a fiddle once sorted and get some proper feedback! Thanks :D

[edit] So having a couple of issues....

Bluetooth fails to turn on - this is with either of the 2 kernels. Originally, I flashed Mako version then after issues tried flashing the 'stock' one - ie the other link. Then in in the 2nd clean install I didn't flash Mako. When I was fiddling the first time I thought it was just the sharing part and then the error pop up went away. Then later when I was getting to the end of setup, I tried turning bluetooth on - oh what a pain! - it just keeps trying to turn on. I couldn't figure out a way to tell it to turn off (other than putting it into Airplane mode, but that kills the cellular).

Gesture typing - looks to be enabled by default, but doesn't work - tried disabling, enabling, cleaning cache etc but doesn't work.

If you've got something I could/should try, please yell out. Otherwise I might try to live without bluetooth for a couple of days (essential here as driving and talking in a fineable office, but using a bluetooth handsfree is all good).

Apart from the above, the ROM is super smooth.

[/edit]
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FernBch:
Hopefully this doesn't push the "Off Topic" window, but I have a question and I would like to be clear on what I need to do before jumping on board with this ROM.

I'm currently running the official CM12.1, but would like to make the change to this ROM. I have downloaded TWRP 2.8.6.0 with f2fs support, the ROM, kernel, and Mako Hotplug. In order to flash this what are the proper steps? If I understand it correctly I need to do the following:

Back up everything, including internal and external storage.

Wipe /system, /Data, /Cache, and /Davlik

Flash the TWRP 2.8.6.0 zip in recovery (I use TWRP 2.8.4.0)

Flash the ROM

Flash the Kernel

Flash the hotplug

Flash Gapps

And allow it to boot giving it a good 10-15 minutes to settle in afterwards. From there I can continue to set everything up and customize things to my liking.

Does this sound correct or have I missed something? I have run nothing but CyanogenMod for many years so I just want to make sure before I start the process.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cp.:
From what i did i didnt flash the kernel since it comes with the ROM itself.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FernBch:
Got it. Drop the kernel (included in ROM).

Other than that do the steps I have listed sound good?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cp.:
For me after i downloaded the ROM, i deleted somethings off it which i would not use, eg. browser, live wallpaper, picotts, gallery, exchange2 and a few more i could not remember. And i replace them with those available on the market.

and yeap your steps are correct.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
Darn darn darn, this is one of the sucky parts about forgetting to test everything. I hadn't tested out Bluetooth because I was busy all day. There is a bluetooth issue, it's broken at the moment til I can get a new build out, most likely tomorrow since Bluetooth is critical to me.

You should be able to flash this just as you would with official CM, or any other ROM for that matter. TWRP with F2FS isn't required, unless you want to format /data and /cache in the F2FS format.

One thing I want to make clear: The two kernels I provide are full kernels, not just a switch to enable a hotplug.

SaberModCM12.1-kernel-jflte-201505xx.zip <- Comes built into the ROM, no need to flash, only if you want to go back to Stock, or use in another ROM

SaberModCM12.1-kernel-jflte-201505xx-MakoHotplug.zip <- Kernel with Mako hotplug + other goodness inside, you can flash this after flashing the ROM to try out the new hotplug method.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FernBch:
Thank You. I have a fresh battery and will begin flashing.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
Just to report that latest update is working perfect with the mako kernel over a clean flash, I don't use BT so all fine. Thx for the update!

Build 5/10 re-upload

I deeply apologize to those who had Bluetooth issues, my bad for not thoroughly testing everything.

Same 5/10 build with fixed Bluetooth libs, good for everyone to use. I've updated all the old links with this new file

SaberModCM12.1-20150510-jflte.zip

Here's a quick flashable patch for those of you already running, or who have already downloaded the 5/10 build so you don't have to redownload a whole ROM. Flash this after flashing the old 5/10, not needed for this new 5/10, won't have any effect.

Hi i want to convert to f2fs but the readings in the OP and what a user said a few posts back seem conflicting. Can anyone offer some help.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FernBch:
Flashed Sabermod today. Did the following:

Wioe Data, System, Cache, and Davlik.

Flash Rom

Flash Hotplug Kernel

Flash Gapps

Upon boot I had no Cellular service including no mobile data. When I went into settings mobile data was turned off and he APN list was empty. I was coming from CM12.1, ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
F2FS is an available format for the /data and /cache partitions of this ROM and official CM12.1. The earlier posting meant you do not have to use F2FS, as I thought the user believed he needed a specific version of TWRP to use the ROM.

If you want to use F2FS, you're going to need to do a full wipe.

Back everything up and go into recovery, preferably the TWRP linked in the OP.

Then go to wipe > advanced wipe

Checkbox Data

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

Press "Change Filesystem

Press "F2FS"

Swipe to confirm

Do the same for Cache

Flash ROM, GApps and any other addons you want.

What bootloader are you on? And can you send me your build.prop.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] LimitsX:
Is the makko kernel better for performance/battery life? Is there any noticeable advantage over the regular one?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FernBch:
I'm using TWRP 2.8.6.0. I would have to flash the ROM again as I have already restored my nandroid of CM. I can do that and send it to you if you like. Oh, FWIW, my device is jfltevzw (SCH-I545).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
The Mako hotplug kernel is still in it's early stages. I'd argue that it has a bit better battery life because I tweaked it to do so. It really comes down to how you use your phone, either kernel may suit you better then the other. It's really up to you to test and find out.

When was the last time you were on stock touchwiz? I've heard recently that the Verizon S4 had received Lollipop, so I wanted to see if you were on that, which maybe lead to the install scripts not working correctly. The build.prop was to verify that things worked properly, if you don't mind doing a quick flash for the build.prop, and you can go back to your nandroid.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FernBch:
I bought my S4 almost two years ago. Within 15 minutes it was rooted, CWM'd, and running Cyanogenmod. Been like that ever since. The only exception was switching to TWRP a couple months back because CWM and Android 5.x don't work together anymore.

I still have problems with very low GPS performance - also with the newest build. GPS used to work fine before with GPE-Edition 5.01 ROM.

I installed the right gps.conf for Germany but no luck. After updating AGPS-Data with GPS-Test, there are one or two satellites in use after some time but I never get a fix.

I searched the thread. One user wrote that he installed stock and then this ROM again to get working GPS. What does it mean - any Lollipop-TW-ROM?

Should I use another modem? At the moment I have FNB3.

Help would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
I don't mean to go off topic but suppose i want to flash another rom must i revert back to ext4 or can i stay with the f2fs? and if i have to change how do i do so. Someone wants me to test a rom for them so that's why i'm asking.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tanivula:
Would it not depend whether the new ROM supports it?

Safest thing to do would be to manually format back to ext4?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FernBch:
I use to see this on the official CM builds. The prescribed fix was to flash any TW ROM (I have a nandroid of the stock ROM that came with my phone) and then flash the AOSP ROM again. Fixed GPS right up.

Yeah I also got problems with the music. Seems like a CM bug tho, so we can only wait.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
Could you find out the format of the songs that don't work?

Messaging and Apollo are included in the zip. Check that your GApps package isn't removing it somehow. If you truly don't have it, you can use a file explorer and go to the zip, and manually install the app by traversing the SaberModCM zip

Got the GPS problem fixed - and it was hardware related on my device. So it's Off-Topic but perhaps somebody might be interested.

I changed proximity sensor some weeks ago (I already changed every part on this device - it is just build to survice the warranty). I had some issues with signal strength and I found out that it was better when I did not put the screws back. But then the connectors on the mainboard did not get enough pressure to connect with the GPS-antenna in the back. properly. Apparently location service worked well enough over network in my city so I did not realise that GPS was not working. I only checked GPS again when I changed the ROM.

Yesterday, I spent the day installing different ROMS's until I found out that I could control the GPS signal strength by pressing the back. Then I put some effort into putting together all the antenna parts nicely. Now my connection problems are gone. :D

I have come over from AntaresOne's custom CM12.1, because for the last few releases it seemed laggy, at not just the UI, file operations and CPU seemed to have been lagging as well. This ROM has no lag for sure, it's very smooth and nice. Two questions:

1. Why on earth would you remove the cLock widget? It's the best thing in CM, and I don't want to install any oversized crap from the Play Store.

2. What would you do if you wanted to undervolt your CPU? Stweaks is not supposed to work here, right?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bleedos:
Been watching this ROM for some time now. You made me do the jump! I was also using Antares' ROM.

I'm using SGH-I337M (Canadian) and it installed fine. First boot was extremely fast!

It's sad that the forum in which Saber's ROM is listed is not linked with the ATT/Canadian variant because some ROMs are compatible with our model.

Anyways, long weekend here so I think I'll have some fun playing with the ROM!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] oran3e1:
Just came from the latest AntaresOne because updates has been temporarily suspended, ive just installed the latest version of this ROM and it already feels alot faster then AntaresOne's ROM, the camera is more stable and so is wifi and mobile data, FOR NOW...

Lets just pray that the battery life is good and that i dont run into any major bugs... just a random question, does anyone here underclock there CPU?

Edit: WOW Thanks for warning me that this ROM doesnt even play MUSIC... what a waste of time, does anyone have a fix for this? music players just freeze up, crash or cannot find/play music...
