Okay for anyone wanting to play with this, here is how i installed and got it running...

1) Download from this thread post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1072773&postcount=72 the file BBS_HERMES_03.zip.

2) Install onto your wizard and soft reset when asked. Upon the reset, the device will moan at you about not having enought memory to load the drivers. Click ok to close this.

3) Load up your registry editor (i use FDCSoft Task Manager) and make the following mods as stated in the first post...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\BtConfig\SerialTransport]

BaudRate=115200 (Won't start at higher rate.)

Port=1 (This is the most important thing!)

If you only want audio routed to headset when there is audio to route then make this reg edit...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugins\handsfree]

Audiohandling=21

4) Do not do a soft reset yet.

5) Now fire up your Task Manager (i use FDCSoft Task Manager) and kill any memory hungry tasks. The ones i kill which then allow me to start the stack is voicecmd.exe and cprog.exe.

6) Now click on the BT icon in the system tray and turn BT on.

Obviously there must be some memory leaks some where in the wizard because a couple of people have said that later in the day, if you try to turn BT on again it wont start due to memory requirements. Anyway, the best thing i can think of is to leave BT on after you have turned it on.

Currently, the blue led will not flash when BT is one. Try not to use the Normal Comms Manager to turn BT one as well as i think this trys to turn the MS stack on which won't work (probably due to memory requirements! :D)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] leaskovski:
I didnt get this to work in the end by the way. :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] new2city:
I tried your idea to leave BT all the while but some problems pop up..

1) If turn off the headset without disconnecting it(BT still left on and the phone goes on standby, sometimes it won't come back.. a poke at the reset button is the only way..

2) I left BT on and disconnected the headset properly. Great BT is still on... BUT after a few hours, I can still connect the headset, but audio is not going there anymore... ??? but goes into internal speakers?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] leaskovski:
Hmm, i dont have those issues. I am using it with my carkit, so when i turn the engine off and remove the keys, the kit turns off. I haven't had to reset the device apart from when i have turned BT off and then tried to turn it back on again at a later stage (then giving me the memory issue).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christty31:
hi guys!

first of all please do not shoot me!

i have read a lot of forums and all the xda forum related to Galaxy S4 I9505, but i still have a problem....

I have now my I9505 new, original, unbranded as i purchase it, with JB 4.3 I9505XXUEMKF official but rooted with towelroot (KNOX 0x0).

Everything is flawless, but i want to upgrade iti to KitKat 4.4.2 I9505XXUGNG8 official, even if i loose root (because this version cannot be rooted now).

I still want to know is worth to upgrade it.... :( what are the benefits of 4.4.2 ?

Please help me!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tkkg1994:
Question is, is there something you need in 4.4.2 and not got it in 4.3? When not I would stay on 4.3.

Some changes in KitKat are the lower RAM, better Battery (a lot better), some security things and a lot of other changes in the background :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christty31:
is there a changelog for 4.4.2 somewhere?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
Sorry mate ,

Samsung only gives a changelog number , no a changelog list.......the higher the number the higher the change
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egy_b0y:
Who doesn't need a better battery?

I have the same question weather or not to update

but I'm hesitant because some people say their battery life got worse!

How much better is the better?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christty31:
these are my questions too....

lower used RAM and better battery life are the best things....but also some new settings, like s-view an so on...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tkkg1994:
Yes but this are all small changes. The permission of writing to SD Card is also a bit different. But I would upgrade
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LironImaN:
I didn't felt any better battery drain after upgrading to 4.4.2.

Unfortunately, after upgrading to Kitkat I experienced a lot of problems in the camera and screen.

Now I'm using custom rom and developer options to solve these problems.

BTW, my device is I9500.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tkkg1994:
Well, on my I9505 with NG8 Firmware I don't have any problems... all is ok also the Battery, Camery etc
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christty31:
you have rooted it? if yes, how you didi it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tkkg1994:
Yes I rooted it. I installed custom recovery, philz touch recovery, and than it autochecks if you got root when you leave it, so you have to apply or not if you want it or not.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christty31:
doing this you tripped knox, isnt 'it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tkkg1994:
Exatly it tripped the f***** Knox, but I wont use the Knox app so it isn't a problem. My garanty is also over so there is no point not to do it that way. Towelroot don't tripps knox, but the in the newer firmwares towelroot don't work anymore

After that Boot your device in to Recovey Mode. Samsung Users use Volume Up+ Home + Power keys.Once your Rooted device on recovery mode, go to the Go to “Advanced” and Choose “Wipe dalvik-cache”. After that go to “Mounts & Storage” and choose “Wipe /cache”. In the end go to the main menu of recovery and Reboot your phone.Now the Android Boot Loop should be gone now.

[Sony Xperia L] Marius Cristian:
The point of the topic:

Post your issues found in STOCK / CM11 or post a solution.Simple as that,very productive.

I'll start with a list of bugs:

CM11 ISSUES:

-Video recording lags in reduced luminosity.

-The phone heats too much when playing/watch videos for long time and so on.

-Volume during call is too low.

-Ocasionally freezes & crashes.

-Some graphical issues when the phone freezes.

-Wifi MAC Address is always 00:0a:f5:89:89:ff.

If there are 2 Xperia L using CM11 / Custom Kernel connected to the same wifi, both connections will be dropped.

STOCK ISSUES:

-Video blinks in low light(from what I've read it focuses wrong on the light source and starts blinking).

-The proximity sensor remains on after a missed call.

-Multi touch doesn't work as well as on CM11.

-Some weird freezes during call ( the screen remains off / freezes and you can't end the call / sometimes even answer )

-Camera doesn't have as much detail as in CM11 ( if you zoom in,the image doesn't clarify).

-Wifi MAC Address is always 00:0a:f5:89:89:ff.

If there are 2 Xperia L using CM11 / Custom Kernel connected to the same wifi, both connections will be dropped.

CM11 FIXES:

-Lag in video recording can be reduced by lowering the exposure.In medium to low light " - 1 " works pretty good and in very low to low light " - 2 " .However,when you use " - 2 " ,the recorded video will be very dark.Still haven't found a solution for this.

-About heating problem,you might want to try [MENTION=4984300]Shivam Kuchhal[/MENTION] 's kernel.He reported that his phone doesn't get heat up more than normal.

-About volume during call,it's been solved partially in newer releases by editing snd_soc_msm file.However,if the value is too high,the phne volume will also be too high and the speaker will produce distorsioned sound.However,I see they found a resonable value and both,the volume during call & speaker is about fine.

-For headset buttons not working,you must edit Generic.kl file.Here's a short tutorial to help you:

Go to: system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl and change as below

key 226 HEADSETHOOK

key 256 BUTTON_1

change to

key 226 BUTTON_1

key 256 HEADSETHOOK

STOCK FIXES:

-For proximity sensor and weird freezes during a call use this tutorial .Haven't tested it personally,but people reported it works even on latest .17 fw.

-For Mac issue [ works for cm11 as well ]

1)Restore original MAC Address

Open /data/etc/wlan_macaddr0

Copy it's content. Ex: 01:12:13:14:15:16

Open /etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini

Find this line

Intf0MacAddress=000AF58989FF

Replace 000AF58989FF with the content of wlan_macaddr0, but write back to front. Ex: from 01:12:13:14:15:16, write to 161514131201. So it will look like this

Intf0MacAddress=161514131201

Save & Exit, Reboot the phone

That's all for now,continue to post bugs&fixes and most important:

Proximity fix not working!!!
[Sony Xperia L] david pro:
More Kitkat Bugs List:-

1. Headset buttons

2. Camera experiencing crashes randomly, sometimes cause overexposure and being unstable at flash mode

3. Black graphical glitch/scanning effect first time after you turn your screen off then on again after first restart/turning on phone.

4. Call bugs(e.g. distortion etc.)

5. Lag when using the video camera

6. battery draining faster then on stock rom. (was improved on early nightly releases....now its back again)

7. GPS not working again (for some it does...others it doesnt....again...wasnt there on first nightlies)(Mostly Happens In CM11)

8. Camera quality is much,much worse then on stock rom

9 . Phone may left hanging and screen wont turn on for several seconds...

[Sony Xperia L] sharvan13:
CM11 bugs

CM11:

1. Switch to HDR mode and within 3 snaps camera app will FC.

2. Headset buttons.. I have to manually edit that Generic.kl after every nightly update.

3. As mentioned above, graphical glitch after updates.
[Sony Xperia L] aleksander002:
Some of bugs that u mentioned @David pro has been fixed by users, but device maintainer didn't merged it for some reason in official builds. So, get started:

1. These buttons can be fixed, someone(I don't remember who, Sorry:eek:) has created a modified Generic.kl. You can find that file somewhere on this forum.

2. Camera quality is medium, but videos are very poor..

3. Still exist

4. @up

5. As I said, videos are bad

6. Caused by Google Play Services, 1st method is use xposed Framework and one of its add-ons, 2nd is just disable Services from Settings>Apps(i'm using second one, because I just don't like Xposed:p)

7.GPS is working fine, at least for me. No fix needed :)

8.Yep, on stock it is better.

9.It's caused by "Black graphical glitch/scanning effect first time after you turn your screen off then on again after first restart/turning on phone."

10.Well, some of them are only for one platform or type of devices,eg. Tegra 4 games.
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
No heating issues noticed so far(I use my kernel obviously) and yeah the camera and video quality isn't anything worth praising. Also the hwcomposer issue happens only one time after every boot, after that its all fine.

I normally use AOSPA.
[Sony Xperia L] Marius Cristian:
Actually,I think the cm11 camera takes better photos than stock,but it can be buggy sometimes :silly:

About GPS,it's working fine for me too.

About video camera being laggy...I think it's because our phone lacks drivers update.It's hard to believe the video camera will ever be 100% fixed.

I'm sorry I'm kinda busy those days and I don't have time to administrate this thread.I'll edit the main post as soon as I can with solution you guys posted.But it's true,there are things which can't be fixed.Until I come back, HELP EACHOTHER
[Sony Xperia L] vishalaestro:
an another bug with stock rom is that "camera not available "or the camera takes a long time to recover after taking a shot

[Sony Xperia L] Marius Cristian:
Haven't experienced those kind of issues when I used stock.Try to do a factory reset or flash the ftf again.Maybe you added some mods or apps which affected the system.

Overall,we have to admit that CM11 is blazing fast and that's why I'm still using it.I'll update the OP now with your solutions.Thanks guys and keep helping eachother.
[Sony Xperia L] vishalaestro:
another BUG with the stock ROM

1)walkman app flickers in the widget lockscreen

2)poor memory management need to restart the phone daily else the phone lags like a hell

3)camera app didn't respond ,it doesn't even the focus sometimes ,clearing the app data solves this problem temporarily and i think it was not present with the .12 update ,so if anybody could extract the camera app from the .12 update similar to the phone app freeze issue the problem might be solved.

3)walkman app or any other music player makes music to stutter when the same song is played more than one time provided if the songs are stored in memory card also i know that my sdcard doesn't have any problem because it worked fine with galaxy s3.my sd card is sandisk ultra class 10 32 gb

4)battery drain heavy when wifi is switched on compared to previous android 4.1.2

note:i have not rooted my phone or modded my firmware .all i run is the apps taken from the playstore.i have done a factory reset for more than 4 times.

5.I really like the photos cm11 takes.About video...another story.Try to notice the details in the photos in comparison with stock.

I am going back to stock in order to see if I can obtain(with all the bug fixes from here) a more stable software than cm11.I'll report to you soon guys.Until then, help eachother

[Sony Xperia L] faizalotai:
I've been playing around with 4.4 video recording..what i think is the lags occurs when we record in low lights related with the kernel..i'm testing with snapcam as its has auto flash when recording in low lights..First result is same as stock..but in snapcam it has touch to focus when recording..after touch,the recording will get a bit darker when it refocus and walla..no lags..

What i found is, the camera will automatically reduced the exposure to -1 for avoiding the lags even it is on default setting..

When moving the camera in low lights,the recording will lags again after few second..that is with continuous focus..set to normal or auto..no lags..so our stock cam using continuous focus for recording..

Back to the kernel thing..from what i see from the recording is same like this when i'm playing with cnt rom to to get wifi and overclock working.
[Sony Xperia L] Marius Cristian:
Ok,so I went back to stock.I'm amazed by the battery life,it lasted 2 days and I used the phone a lot ( especially for calls ).

However,after using the fix for freezes during call and so on,I still have experienced this morning an issue.While I was talking to someone,someone else called and the phone was beeping but the screen was frozen.I had to press the power button to lock the device then unlock it to get the screen to show who's calling and to give me the possibility to answer the call.What do you think I should do?For now I'll wipe phone app data,but I'm also waiting if someone knows a good,another solution to post.

You have to calibrate the battery..

battery calibration doesn't help, but I found a new problem, the battery drops by 25-40% everytime I reboot the phone
[Sony Xperia L] vishalaestro:
just go to the jellybean 4.1.2 excellent ROM with better battery life compared to the newer version .there are only two cons with the 4.1.2 ROM .the walkman app playlist gets erased after a restart if the songs are stored in sd card,the camera performance is very bad with too much of digital noise and poor image processing in daylight images .so it anyone could solve these problems then the stock ROM should itself a great one.
[Sony Xperia L] Marius Cristian:
I just can't stand the camera on 4.1.2.You simply can't take a good picture in low light situations.

What if we take the camera.apk and everything else which is related to camera from 4.2.2 and replace them on 4.1.2,won't this fix the camera?It's just a noob guess,I don't know much about development and so on.So,anyone on 4.1.2 willing to test?Or anyone tested and can report what's happening ? Thanks and keep helping eachother guys.Great job until now !

[MENTION=5118265]falcon.prj[/MENTION] as an ultimate solution,try to flash stock again and then wipe data again.If this doesn't work it might be a hardware error :confused:
[Sony Xperia L] faizalotai:
Isn't that in 4.1 got memory managemant issue? and the video laggy??

@falcon.prj ,you can try delete baterystat.bin in data/system than reboot

For those who get weak wifi signals..you can try change these value gEnableBmps=1 to 0 in /etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini

like this gEnableBmps=0 then reboot
[Sony Xperia L] vishalaestro:
i didn't notice any memory management issues with the jelly bean 4.1.2 ,but with the 4.2.2 update even with the latest firmware there were tons of problems .poor memory management ,sound coming from the ear piece ,camera app not working at all also i had some focusing issues with the camera .the phone app bug was cleared by replacing the phone.apk file from the previous update but still i had many problems especially the battery drain ,i can't even use my phone for 1/2 day with normal usage but after i jumped to the 4.1.2 i was getting a better battery life.

No matter what CM room I use (tried FXP, pacman, Liquid, AOSPA) after a some days of normal use my wifi stops working (it stay on a loop of trying to connect, until it says the network is too slow. wiping caches and and dalvik do not work. Even reflashing the CM zip. Only by doing a full cache wiping and reainstalling it I can get the wifi to work again, only for another couple of days.
