Note 4 is the Swiss Army Knife :)

Here I sit with my year old Note 4, with 5.1.1 with 32GB Internal plus a 64GB MicroSDXC, thats over 90GB of storage, filled with my music, so HD1080P Movies and Music videos, a few 4K vids I have shot, a whole lot of 16MP Camera pics, a bunch of HD games incl. Asphalt 8, GT Racing 2 and so on. Still have over 20GB space :D

Can't blame you for grabbing your Note 4, it's the better phone. :)

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Gizmundo:
thanks.. I'm on alexndr stock, I'm tired from bugs and no good battery usage from another ROMs which bring you fuatures but do not stay on stable level. I definitely try this because I'm out of internal storage ...did you manage to send data to sd card from internal with these mods or it is does only in real time.. ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] d12unk13astard:
it saves your internal space by putting the data and obb files to the extsdcard it does it all by itself once you have xposed setup with the modules.

Hi,

I faced a strange and annoying problem on my Galaxy S 4, which is when I play any video clip does not work correctly and appears frequently cutting.

The problem occurs with any video clip either from YouTube or facebook.

Also.. facing same problem while typing message in whats app, Facebook messenger, gmail...

The Device was with me from nearly more than a year and this is the first time I'm having this problem

Is there a solution to it?

Thanks in advance..

mikereidis mod EDIT: Oneplus One can never support FM, see final post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57409704&postcount=26

Was: SpiritFM on Oneplus One
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
No, I don't think 1+1 is FM capable because I think the CM folk would have said something positive about FM by now, and similar Oppo devices would also have FM.

First step to test further than people have already is to load a kernel that supports the Qualcomm V4L Iris FM driver. The stock kernel does not support it.

At this point, Spirit1 should start without error.

Then, we can see if RSSI at top left of Spirit1 is over 10-20 when tuned to a good station, while a wired headset is plugged in to act as the antenna.

Next post is copied from Spirit1 main/general thread.
[Spirit FM] tixatixa:
I tested on Terminal Emulator:

lsmod

/proc/modules: No such file or directory

and

ls /proc/modules

/proc/modules: No such file or directory

With: Franco Kernel and MAHDI rom
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
That means that kernel modules are not enabled. In most cases so far*, the FM driver can't work if built into the kernel. It MUST be a loadable module or a Qualcomm bug arises and may cause reboot. (*Only exception in years is HTC One M8, presumably bug is fixed in it's kernel.)

Here is the crux of what hi_cannon posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54226570&postcount=8097

Here's the link: https://github.com/hicannon/android...mmit/669834afabfa6aa607c80f4ff14afd9c15b4b3c3

These are the 3 lines:

CONFIG_RADIO_IRIS=y

CONFIG_RADIO_IRIS_TRANSPORT=m
[Spirit FM] Arrjaan:
I looked for the lines where I could enable that, but I couldn't find the right file here:

https://github.com/franciscofranco/one_plus_one/tree/cm-11.0/arch/arm/configs

But after doing a search, I found the lines were already in here:

https://github.com/franciscofranco/...28fb7c3cdb/arch/arm/configs/msm8226_defconfig

Still, after retesting, I got the same result:

Any suggestion for further testing? I am by no means an expert, but I just want to help if possible.
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
Sorry, I don't really have much time for helping you out with kernel building. It looks to me like https://github.com/franciscofranco/.../arch/arm/configs/cyanogenmod_bacon_defconfig might be the config file.

Another approach is to pull in the fix CM did on the HTC One M8. The FM driver is in the kernel and it works.
[Spirit FM] Rene_ajax:
very interesting topic I read different things one says it has FM radio but the other say it hasnt. I hope theres a genius could enable this awesome featute on this phone!
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
EVERY phone has an FM/BT/WiFi combination chip.

Only a minority of phones has the FM antenna pin connected to the wired headset. The rest ground the antenna pin which means FM can never be made to work, unless you want to spend thousands of dollars for a custom mod to the phone. (LOL.)

This is one reason why there is often confusion about whether phones "have FM". They all have the hardware chip. Most don't have the needed connection.
[Spirit FM] okak24:
I have OnePlus One and try everything if you need. I really want fm radio to my phone
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
OK, please do and report your results.

I've put enough information in this thread for a person with the skills needed to test.

But I don't have the time to build kernels or assist people without that skill to build them.

But chances are very small IMO. If there is no stock FM app, it's VERY probable that the FM antenna pin is disabled in hardware by grounding it. I don't even think Oppo has ANY Android devices with FM radio.
[Spirit FM] compax:
It would be very nice to have FM radio in my oneplus one, i really miss it from my Old phone.

I've just bought the cheapest smart phone that i could find on the marked and use that one as a FM radio/media phone.

The best solution would still be that oneplus one had that option, but the other solution works fine for me.
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
If that works for you, then that's fine.

But when people do not INSIST on FM when they want it, that is precisely why manufacturers decide their phones don't need FM.

I've heard from a HUGE number of people who want FM, but "love" their phone too much to change it. And then they hope I can perform some kind of magic, LOL.
[Spirit FM] compax:
#Mikereidis

I thought you could do magic...... Naaa just kidding :o)

As i said in my post, it works fine for me with 2 phones so i do not complain, I just said that it would be nice if oneplus one had an FM radio.

oneplus one is such a cheap phone anyway so i could afford a second one with an FM radio which i use when im at the gym or travling around in other countries so it's not a big deal for me.

[Spirit FM] jasonx3:
I'm sure people didn't insist because One plus promised FM radio on Reddit AMA (Before launch) alone with stereo speakers etc.. :cyclops::cyclops: and turned out empty. myself too finding awkward to have 2 phones because i need FM radio.
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
Oh, that's a shame then.

It only takes about 1 cent/penny worth of tiny parts to connect the FM antenna pin to the wired headset jack.

Of course more than 50% of phones sold today lack the same penny worth of parts too. Every recent Nexus, every iPhone, every recent Samsung or Motorola flagship. most flagships sold in North America,...

Software maintenance costs for an FM app could be more than that though, especially for a limited sales device.But if it's a Qualcomm FM/combo chip, Qualcomm has a free, open source app available that's even included in a few CM11 ROMs.
[Spirit FM] Wisiwyg:
Yes, but including FM is one less reason to sell streaming music and cloud storage for music collections. Its all about the aftermarket revenue. Even free music has adds supporting the app. This is going the way of SD cards. They state it was difficult to support SD. Really? Cameras have no prob. Was a forced move to cloud.
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
Of course.

And that benefits Google and North American carriers.

But what benefit does it provide OnePlus One (subject of this thread), other than a bit less work to make a ROM ?
[Spirit FM] msri3here:
https://github.com/franciscofranco/one_plus_one/blob/cm-11.0/arch/arm/configs/franco_defconfig

I think this is the config file that needs to be changed.

Can someone modify this to make changes as suggested and check?

I dont know how to build a kernel and moreover, dont have my OnePlus One yet in my hands :(
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
Find someone to do it. I don't have the time.

One bit of good news is that the HTC One M8 fix allowing the use of Qualcomm FM drivers directly in the kernel, without modules, has been spreading to other CM builds, such as for my One X LTE.
[Spirit FM] Arrjaan:
The file says DO NOT EDIT in the first line.. So I doubt we need to edit that one. But I'm not good with kernels either.

We could start a bounty to get FM done for OnePlus One, what would you think of that?
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
IMO The probability this phone CAN support FM is very low.

It costs a penny or two to add the parts to hook FM/combo chip FM antenna pin to the wired headset connection.

If the spec does not include "FM", most companies will not pay that extra penny or 2.

If there was one variant that needed FM, chances are higher, but the holes can be left in the PCB without filling them with capacitor and coil or 2 or whatever else.

Is their NOBODY at CM/O+o/OPO who can say definitively, or who can take a few seconds to change a config file before building a kernel they need to build anyway ?

And nobody in the community who can take a few hours to learn basic kernel building ?
[Spirit FM] Arrjaan:
So, I've been trying stuff. I've found a kernel with module support, but it misses the module that is needed for FM (the radio-iris-transport.ko one). Seems that did not build yet. I will try to find community members, but most seem to have lost hope.

u0@A0001:/ $ lsmod
u0@A0001:/ ls /proc/modules
/proc/modules
2|u0@A0001:/ ls -l /system/lib/modules

-rw-r--r-- root root 29283 2008-08-01 14:00 scsi_wait_scan.ko

EDIT: Seems that AK has tried to integrate the FM module. He did not succeed. I guess that will end the search for FM support.

[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
That post was from August.

I do not know exactly what he did, but IMO the only way to prove/disprove is to get the Qualcomm open source FM app, or any of my Spirit apps "working" or at least seeming to work, with no errors, and then...

It will be disproven (IE FM is impossible) if ALL of the following are true:

- Wired headset is plugged in for antenna.

- RSSI signal strength at top left is negative or around 0 when tuned to a known strong station.

- No RDS information is shown.

- Seek just runs through the band and doesn't stop at all or doesn't stop until it wraps around.

- You try the above using Spirit1 with Menu-> Settings-> Debug-> QCom Antenna set to "External" and restart Spirit1. Then try again with it set to "Internal" and restart Spirit1 again.

After testing, send me a debug log from Spirit1 to confirm. Tap the frequency button, enter the number 7 and tap "OK". After 20 seconds or so, press Send from your email client.
[Spirit FM] Arrjaan:
After some hours of figuring out, I've managed to build the modified kernel. For everyone that wants to test as well, it's over here [source]. I enabled the FM module:

root@A0001 :/ # lsmod
root@A0001 :/ # insmod /system/lib/modules/radio-iris-transport.ko
root@A0001 :/ # lsmod
radio_iris_transport 4267 0 - Live 0x0000000

I got a constant signal strength of zero, while being in my room with my FM radio at home turned on. I've send you the log to confirm.
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
Thanks.

I can confirm from the debug log that everything APPEARS to work, except that RSSI is always 0.

Changing Debug->QCom Antenna changed nothing.

So, as far as I am concerned, the FM antenna pins are both grounded which renders FM capability in the Qualcomm FM/combo chip useless. :(

I am closing this thread because there is nothing more to say unless by some miracle we find some hidden magic antenna switch, or we find that it uses an FM-disabling firmware that can be changed.

Please post any further queries in the general thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059296

Anything is possible, but I officially give up at this point.

Please feel free to ask the OnePlus One people why FM was not provided as originally promised, and if future devices will support FM.

I am having some trouble with activity recognition. I have implemented it in an app and it works fine when the device's screen is on. I have a log entry in my Activity recognition intent service class and I can see when it gets an update.So, I know it is working fine when the screen is on.

But then after the phone is put to standby(the screen is turned off) it stops detecting the uses activity.:confused: :crying:

My question: Why does my app stop tracking the uses activity after the device goes to standby mode? And how do I make it not stop detecting the users activity?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TraderJack:
So we just upgraded my wife's phone to the S5 on Verizon, and I've spent a few minutes going through the forum here and want to make sure I understand the current state of hacking on this phone, along with some other questions:

1) Root is possible - which will provide full access to the system for modification? (TiBu, Xposed, etc)?

2) No bootloader unlock - so standard custom ROM flashing is not available.

3) Ability to use "safestrap" - which as best as I can tell allows you to multi-boot custom ROMs by bootstrapping them from defined partitions in internal memory(?)

Some additional questions:

4) What are the drawbacks to safestrap booting compared to the standard custom ROM flash with a custom recovery? I mean, yes the method is different, but are there limitations on the functionality of custom ROMs flashed using this method? Does it detract from anything, or does it just mean a little more development must go into making a safestrap ROM?

5) I see some posts regarding SELinux being enabled in the kernel and no working fix yet. What actual impact does having SELinux in Enforcing mode have on the system for custom tweaking, etc?

6) Is it possible (and easy enough) to bring the phone back to complete stock if required. Either for return purposes, or because you deleted something and can't get OTA, etc.

7) In general, when all is said and done, what are the tangible areas which the S5 is locked to the extent that it truly diminishes the custom experience?

I am getting myself the M8, and spending most of my time figuring things out on there. My wife preferred the S5 and although she isn't a "power user" she may eventually want some things that the custom ROM can't provide. I'm hoping root and Xposed will be enough for those things - but we are still within our return window and if I deem the S5 just doesn't have the features, we may try something else....though it seems that most everything on Verizon is locked down except maybe the M8.

TIA
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcollier:
1) Root is possible - which will provide full access to the system for modification? (TiBu, Xposed, etc)?

Correct

2) No bootloader unlock - so standard custom ROM flashing is not available.

Correct

3) Ability to use "safestrap" - which as best as I can tell allows you to multi-boot custom ROMs by bootstrapping them from defined partitions in internal memory(?)

In essence, this is how we are loading custom ROMs. Technically you could use it for multiple ROMs, it seems like the consensus is to just load your custom ROM to the primary slot and not switch between multiple.

Some additional questions:

4) What are the drawbacks to safestrap booting compared to the standard custom ROM flash with a custom recovery? I mean, yes the method is different, but are there limitations on the functionality of custom ROMs flashed using this method? Does it detract from anything, or does it just mean a little more development must go into making a safestrap ROM?

The drawback is no custom kernels and no ROMs like CM or AOSP because of that.

6) Is it possible (and easy enough) to bring the phone back to complete stock if required. Either for return purposes, or because you deleted something and can't get OTA, etc.

Yes.

7) In general, when all is said and done, what are the tangible areas which the S5 is locked to the extent that it truly diminishes the custom experience?

Having a locked bootloader does limit the ROM choices in that we will only get Touchwiz-based options, but that isn't necessarily a huge deal.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TraderJack:
So when using safestrap do you actually overwrite your main ROM in the slot, or you would have your main (factory) ROM loaded as normal, and then your custom in a separate slot? In effect, you could toggle between those if wanted? If so, I might load a custom for her to play with while not interrupting her normal usage. If she prefers it, we could eventually switch her over.

Where in the ROM/RAM are these custom ROMs actually placed and how big are they as in how do they affect the overall storage on your device if you opt to use one? I assume if you were to switch between more than one you would probably have to install all your apps, etc on each one.

What you said about touch-wiz only makes sense though I suppose it isn't that bad of a thing especially with all the proprietary goodies that Samsung has. I would expect that AOSP or CM mods might have problems recreating some of those features anyway.

Thanks again
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcollier:
I believe most people are just overwriting the main ROM and that is what I have done. I believe I recall issues when loading into the other slots.

I can't speak to the specific partition the custom ROMs are stored on when using other slots, sorry.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcsager:
Last I knew, safestrap slots are virtual disks on the data partition. Safestrap hijacks the boot process and remaps /system, /data, et al to the appropriate virtual disk for that slot.

If you flash to the main slot, you would be overwriting the stock rom, which may have drastic consequences. I highly recommend flashing your custom rom to a slot other than the stock rom slot.

When I had my Droid Razr, kexec was used to hot boot a new kernel. Support for kexec may not be available for the S5 though, denying us custom kernels.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jagrave:
From what I've read, safestrap with the s5 has problems with rom slots. Most people having small problems here and there are on a rom slot, and when they flash the rom to stock slot most of they're problems go away. I think this is mentioned in the safestrap thread itself.

From what I understand, make a backup of your stock rom, then format, then flash rom choice on stock slot. That way if something screws up you can restore your stick backup.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBot96:
SafeStrap on the S5 is very buggy if you are using a ROM slot other than stock and is HIGHLY recommended by all the devs to use stock slot.

There will be no drastic consequences if you decide to use your stock slot. Just make sure you make a backup of your stock ROM before wiping it. If, by chance, something does go wrong, you can always ODIN back to stock and start over.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chetqwerty:
So being that the common/accepted practice is to install a ROM to the stock slot (which I did) its probably a good idea to go back in and resize the ROM slot to the smallest size allowable correct? Were never going to be using it so why not? Can this be done easily without affecting the ROM installed in the stock slot?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBot96:
You could just delete all ROM slots and call it a day.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chetqwerty:
Wow, I over thought that a tad aay! lol of course you can do that, thanks man!
