I think that something is wrong in my phone[emoji1] . In red is wizcyan v2 and in blue it's his brother with stock Nordic 501.

also a log taken with Syslog

LE: Red one with stock 501 for Germany scored over 31000 in antutu.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] aq_aq:
it is ok now, thanks.

please allow me to ask two things ;

1- i feel that the icons are little bit bigger than the 5.0.1 stock ROM.

2- the call notification pop-ups are activated, but it is not like the call app of the samsung S5, it is like the android 4.4.2. (I mean when there is an app with full screen, if a call received then the it will show a pop-up small window to answer either normally or loudspeaker).
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
could not find anything in the logs on taking a quick look. I don't much care for benchmarks but just ran antutu and got around 31000 on my phone.

Just saw that you ran the German firmware and got around 31000, can you let me know the firmware that you were on when you got around 24000 and any other differences (same apps installed on both, changes made to stock ROM, etc)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Not sure which icons you are referring to, but this is stock OB4 5.0.1 with some features enabled and minor tweaks (no change in dpi) so I do not see any reason why icons should be any bigger.

The phone app is stock S4A with only the incall popup menu / feature enabled. I have not looked at the S5 call app and if you can send me a screenshot to understand what exactly you are referring to then I can enable / port it (if the feature is worth it)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tofanpc:
some screenshots were made back then when the test was done but unfortunatelly I forget to move them to sdcard and I made a very clean install of german firmware. on short i was testing stock I9295XXUDOD3 for romania and I've noticed that incall bug reported by d8389 (my phone was buyed in germnay so I blamed the radio files) so I flashed custom recovery and right after (with format on data, system and cache) the super wizcyan v2. Flashed modem files for wifi and restored around 20 apps with TB (always the same apps) then I've made the test. The same apps are restored now in german vesion.

I am unable to start WiFi:

Tried different methods:

A)

1. Booted into PhilZ Touch 6.57.9, ClockworkMod v6.0.5.1:

2. Installed the ROM

3. Restarted - unable to start Wifi

B)

1. Booted into PhilZ Touch 6.57.9, ClockworkMod v6.0.5.1:

2. Installed the ROM

3. Booted into boot loader and using ODIN installed: modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin using CP option

4. Restarted - unable to start Wifi

C)

1. Booted into boot loader and using ODIN installed: modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin using CP option

2. Booted into PhilZ Touch 6.57.9, ClockworkMod v6.0.5.1:

3. Installed the ROM

4. Restarted - unable to start Wifi

I think my problem is that I'm unable to install the NON-HLOS.bin - it fails.

What can be a root cause.

Thanks for assistance
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
If you have ran the benchmark immediately after flashing the ROM then yes, it will give you a low score. You need to give it at least a couple of days for the ROM to settle down before running the benchmarks.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Always shut down completely and manually boot into download mode with volume down + power key. Detailed instructions in the modems folder on my drive (link below downloads)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] proteje:
Thanks for reply.

I've done the complete power off.

Entered the boot manually.

The problem was the filename was NON-HLOS (1).bin.

Renamed it to NON-HLOS.bin and it successfully installed.

Still after modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin do not have WiFi.

The Rom looks great, but without WiFi I will not be able to use it.

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

Another question would be:

Do we install modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin before or after the ROM installation?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
It does not matter if you flash the modems before or after the ROM.

I would recommend that you delete old copies of the modems (both modem.bin and NON-HOLOS.bin) and download the OB4 modems once again and flash.

Edit: You can also flash the OB4 firmware and check
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] aq_aq:
The same happened to me, then i flashed the UK 5.0.1 stock rom downloaded from samfirmeware, then root and install philiz cwm, flash the Rom.

Everything fine, wifi working.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] yomama163:
I tried this kernel and everything seemed to work fine, until I found one (for me crucial) bug:

I listen to very much music on my phone and encountered something very odd: After a specific period of listening to music (I am currently using Poweramp) a very strange, high-pitched noise is coming out of my speakers and my headphones which nearly kill my ears (had the problem on Bluetooth speakers and my normal AUX-headphones). Every time I went to flight mode and then turned it off again the problem was gone... Just my 5 cents to this topic, going to revert back to Stock Kernel (I really hope that we find some way to get Viper4Android working on S4 Active)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Ok, the reason for the low score is due to restrict performance under powersaving is on by default (due to S5 SecSettings). Read the tips section in OP to disable it
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
New version shortly

Expect a new version shortly with the below (currently under testing). Been very busy with real life and not having much time lately.

- Auto rotation in gallery enabled

- Options to disable various popups (quick settings), disable high volume warning & Disable wake lock on power plugged / unplugged

- Volume button to control music in lockscreen

- Visualizer on lockscreen and expanded status bar (Placement is an issue)

- Option to replace camera app on lockscreen with an app of choice (this will prevent camera app from launching without unlocking on secure lockscreen).

- Some various tweaks
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] machhho:
thanks alot in advance for the new version , but can you please add a flashlight toggle into the Notification panel and these S6 apps as they don't have any bugs .

The flashlight quicksetting is eluding and not appearing despite having the quicksetting tile as well as in the csc. need to dig a little bit more into this

Yes, will have these apps added in the aroma add-on package
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] machhho:
Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] NZStevenC:
Great news! I've gone round the houses to try out stock-stock and CM as daily ROMs and they're driving me mad so I'm coming back to this one :) Happy to test it out whenever you have the time to release.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Almost done.... Testing is taking too long with lollipop and with my busy schedule these days, also did a revamp of the addons. Maybe when I have time today or tomorrow I will upload em... changelog will be updated later.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wanakamura:
Hi Jasonrr,

you have been suggesting to flash pure DOB4 firmware as base for installing lollipop Super WizCyan. Could you give link to the ROM witch is base for your ROM? there are plenty DOB4 files now. It will be best if you could upload your base. I mostly use http:// samsung - updates . com as source for new base rom. But they use realy slow download services (about 6h) per rom.

thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
ROM works well with NE5 firmware as well, as I have been on that firmware for several weeks before flashing the OB4 firmware.

You can get the link to the skimmed firmware (without modems and system) on my drive. Link to my drive is available in post #1 under download link.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
New ROM version 03

New Rom version 03 uploaded..... Aroma add-on package currently being uploaded...

Updated kernel included in ROM, Pre-rooted with SuperSU 2.49 beta (no need to install binary anymore) seems faster and clean install recommended.

Change log will be updated at leisure.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] pen²:
Thanks for the update, hope to be able to flash it tomorrow when the addon package is up
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Addon package uploaded and link updated in post#2
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] NZStevenC:
Soooo... I'm not doing too badly on v3... not withstanding the deficiencies in the firmware and modem which all up to Samsung to sort but are driving me crazy.

One thing I have noticed that v3 is doing... and it also happened when I was running v2 but I thought it was because I'd fluffed a setting somewhere. It seems to be doing some kind of ad blocking. Normally that wouldn't be an issue but part of my job is to help set and check ad server configs for my company's mobile app and unfortunately I'm getting lots of blank frames :( Are there any settings or modules in WizCyan which might be preventing ads from showing?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Yes, this is in the /system/etc/hosts file, you could either rename the attached file as hosts (without the .txt extension) and replace it with the existing one or you could delete the entries that you would like to unblock.

What is the exact nature of issue that you have with the firmware and modem? did you try the OC3 modems with the OC3 kernel as well?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Change log updated

Change logs for both ROM and add-on package updated.

I believe that all of the issues reported have been fixed and features that were requested (plus some more) have been incorporated in the ROM and add-on package. So guys enjoy the experience...
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] NZStevenC:
Of course... simple, thanks :)

Yeah I tried OC3 model and kernel on an earlier attempt... was no better I'm afraid. This time I've tried NE5 firmware with OB4 modem - no different either.

In short, the issue I encounter on stock-based lollipop roms (including Samsung's own stock) is what I can only explain as a reduction in radio signal strength, across all of mobile radio, Wifi and Bluetooth. This manifests itself as:

- Lower mobile signal strength available at and away from home including no service within certain London stations where on CM12 and earlier roms I can get 2-3 bars of 3G with perfect data service

- Lower wifi signal in the upper floor of my home - wifi data pauses for 10+ seconds at a time

- Bluetooth signal dropping to the point of Bluetooth music streaming to my wireless headphones goes through stages of stuttering every few minutes while I walk with my phone is in my pocket

- Bluetooth signal severely affected by (what I assume is) general radio interference - the Bluetooth stream skipping becomes constant when I pass through exactly the same points in my daily commute to work - one spot on the concourse of a London railway station, another outdoors at a certain road intersection near my office

Conversely, while the above issues aren't encountered on a CM12.x rom, I suffer the well-known terminal Bluetooth issue while running CM - while I can now hold open a Bluetooth music stream for a couple of hours, Bluetooth itself stops at random points and requires a reboot to restart it. Also, there's a general music issue while listening via wired (i.e. non-bluetooth) headphones, where music stutters during device locking or when the devices makes heavy use of data.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Personally I get slightly better signal with OC3 modems, I am not sure about others.

From what I understood based on your description of the issue, I can summarize as below

- The issue with signal being lost is generally caused due to weak LTE/4G signal. By default the system checks every 7 seconds and if set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect) with the order being LTE then WCDMA and GSM. It is also worth noting that while switching between LTE & 3G (WCDMA) there is a loss of signal for sometime and this could persist with weak LTE signal (rather than no LTE signal). You could try changing to WCDMA/GSM (auto connect).

- Data pauses over wifi are something strange, though there are issues reported of data pauses over 3G network due to Fast Dormancy not supported by phone network provider. Read more about it here (if required suggest to try the build.prop edit first)

The firmware or modems should not make a difference to radio signals between CM and stock ROM's, the only difference can be the kernel or the ROM. You could try the test kernel by walter79 a few pages back and check out the issue. (kernel has issues with secured lock screen and suggest to disable it before flashing).

I'm on v3 for 5 days and everything seems to be ok. I have one question. Why it's not working *#0*#?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] pen²:
Hi, works for me - did you install the test apps or whatever they are called from the aroma installer?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Good to know that everything seems ok for you. Did not get feedback so was assuming everything to be working well with v03
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Finally got viper4android to work, just rename the attached file to 50viper.sh and put the renamed file in /system/etc/init.d folder and restart (permissions will be set automatically on reboot and you can install viper4android from previous addon version)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tofanpc:
[MENTION=1261842]pen²[/MENTION] yep, that was the problem. after flashing samsung test app, *#0*# it's working. Thanks

[MENTION=5266778]JASONRR[/MENTION] until now i have nothing bad to say about rom. Super fast, smooth and incredible battery life. If i'll find something wrong I'll tell you :) Thanks for everything
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] yomama163:
Just tested this, at least the app works. Thank you very much! But still one problem: Viper4Android doesn't process any enhancing on my audio yet... I am currently using V3 of your ROM. I downloaded the latest official Viper4Android from their website, placed the .sh file into the folder and rebooted... Attached a screenshot with the problem
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] machhho:
New firmware ( I9295XXUDOE8 ) is out with a high changelist ( 4856923 )

hopefully , next release will be based on this firmware

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Did some checking and flashed the viper4android soundfx libs and stock music player gave FC's as well as viper showed Enabled as No so flashed back the soundfx libs from the ROM and now Processing also shows yes. You can flash the attached soundfx libs from ROM and check how it goes. Also if you could share the effect profiles with me
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Don't mind the previous post, just realized that the driver status will show 'processing: Yes' only when music is playing (and viper is processing the audio stream) and at other times it will show as No. Are you sure that you are getting No when Music is playing?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Thanks for the information.

Unless there is a update to android version 5.1.x, the ROM will stay with the OB4 firmware. Re-basing the ROM to another firmware will require a lot of edits to the frameworks, especially to get the S5 features working that is not really worth it. S6 has started getting the 5.1.1 update while S5 is still will 5.0 and not sure if our S4 active will get the 5.1.1 update.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Grinface:
Has anyone more information regarding the changes in "New firmware ( I9295XXUDOE8 ) is out with a high changelist ( 4856923 )"?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] yomama163:
I did, and here is the strange thing: If I play audio via AUX or phone speaker the sound doesn't get processed, but somehow someway it processesif I play via Bluetooth...
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
I have tried it at my end and for me it does process the sound through the phone speaker, as also with Headphones and bluetooth. You can flash the attached zip file that has an updated build.prop and check (only added one line -- lpa.releaselock=false )
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] yomama163:
Did this, still no success in processing...

Big EDIT: It works now, forgot to switch to FX Compatible Mode.... Thank you very much!

EDIT 2: Just found out that Poweramp and FX Compatible mode don't really like each other... I neither hear any notification sounds either from Facebook or WhatsApp nor hear my incoming call ringtone. And as soon as I want to pick up the phone while I listen to music i can't hear the other person talking, it's like that person is muted
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Works fine with stock music player though. Was playing around with the settings and I should say that yes viper4android does improve the sound very much. you could try deleting the entry for deep_buffer from audio_policy.conf and check poweramp in normal mode to and see how it goes.

Edit: Try the solution mentioned in this link http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56938239&postcount=1243

Edit2: downloaded the trial version of poweramp and checked that deleting deep_buffer and using viper4android with (FX compatibile mode as normal, poweramp and jetaudio which did not process audio ealier started processing (works with stock music player as well). Attached is a flashable zip with the updated audio_policy.conf
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
With viper4android getting me interested in improving sound quality, I am now looking at porting xloud and clearaudio in the next update for a clearer sound. Next update will also have quick unlock back along with scramble keypad (for pin entry).

Also as OC3 modems are having a better reception, I am planning to have the OC3 kernel as the default in the ROM. Feedback on this is appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] pen²:
I have no experience on various modems and their reception around the globe, but is it possible to make it some kind of modular whether people like ob4/oc3? Or is it that hard-wired in the rom itself that you needed to offer two variants of wizcyan for that?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Yes, that can be an option by using aroma installer for the ROM as well, giving the user the option to choose the kernel based on the modem rather then flashing it separately. Only that it will involve additional steps for flashing
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] pen²:
You could install the kernel you see as the best (say OC3) by default, but include OB4 and OC3 in the aroma installer. Thus, the rom is complete even without the additional zip file, but people who prefer one specific modem could keep theirs

Controlling CPU speed and governor for stock Lollipop ROMs

Hi guys! I have another terminal issue for my 'beloved' phone... I've run both WizCyan (with OB4) as well as plain stock (OE8) over the course of the last week and with both I have experienced a sudden onset of extreme heat at the top of my device. Very concerning - it can't be good for my external SD card and all the other phone components.

I had been running WizCyan (and various Lollipop ROMs) over the last 6+ months while using CPU Tuner and by limiting the upper CPU speed with screen on and even further with screen off I was getting very good battery life and all was well. I've had no such overheating until the beginning of the week. I thought I'd then check out the new OE8 firmware and within 24 hours encountered the same heat issue. However at that stage I realised I'd accidentally left CPU Tuner in my TitaniumBackup and had restored it.

I'm not even certain that CPU Tuner is actually the root of the issue here, but I note that its last update in the Play Store is from December 2013... long before Lollipop. And when I uninstalled CPU Tuner, the problem persisted, but I'm not sure whether it reverted to original settings...

Has going to ask a question in the Q&A section however I searched and found that the same question has been asked and has not had much of a response: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-active/help/phone-quickly-heats-battery-drains-t3101102

So I thought I'd float the question here, to see whether you've had good/bad outcomes with CPU and heat with stock-based Lollipop ROMS (incl WizCyan) and whether there are any reliable CPU control apps which you can recommend?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] yomama163:
That did the trick, now I can finally enjoy my Viper4Android AND hear my incoming calls/messaages etc. :D Thanks!

Btw, is it intentional that notifications get a higher priority? Because every time I want to listen to music and I get a message my music gets muted and the notification sound plays, after the sound music is normal again. I remember 4.4.2 didn't have that behaviour. I checked PowerAmp if I accidentally enabled the function to mute music while I get a notification but the option is already disabled. Pretty annoying if I play music via Bluetooth and suddenly my music gets muted for my notifications...
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
You can manage the notifications under settings-->sounds and notifications-->interruptions
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] NZStevenC:
So I reinstalled stock OE8 last night and made a point of installing most apps from the store and preventing CPU Tuner and similar apps. It seems this issue isn't specific to any ROM and I suspect from the warming of my pocket today, while not as hot as it has been, is still occurring. I suspect something is keeping the CPU alive but it's hard to tell whether a specific wakelock might be causing problems. I'm running GSam to look at what is consuming my battery, but I don't get the granularity I need to see specific wakelocks. I've attached some of my GSam stats for today. I've also tried the Wakelock Detector app but it doesn't seem to be compatible with Lollipop

So in addition to my earlier question about CPU controllers, does anyone have any good suggestions for diagnosing wakelock issues on Lollipop?
