I am facing some bluetooth issues with the last version - my smart band periodically goes out of sync and the only way to restore connection is via switching to airplane mode. I had the same situation with the stock Lollipop and was really happy to see it resolved in arter's ROM but... not anymore. Suggestions? Is it a ROM or a kernel issue?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] arter97:
Bluetooth issue is the kernel side.

I also use Android Wear on my device and it's very frustrating.

I get the same "bluetooth share stopped" errors while using my zenwatch. Don't know if my watch disconnects though. But since arter97 knows about the problem I guess it is no point in dicussing it. It will be fixed when it will be fixed.

Hi.

A couple of weeks ago, I switched back from cm11 nightly to stock 5.0.1

Now I have decided that I will try the cm12 nightly. The performance of the stock sw is poor.

Can anyone tell me the actual state. Is is the actual cm12 nightly stable enough for normal use?

Are there any heavy bugs in it at the moment.

Thank you all for you feedback.

i am on v8.8 with 5.0.1 kernel , patch v2 and KK bootloader. everything works great so far. but battery is draining a lot faster as before. i enabled the system update service in the google play services as mentioned before, but i don't see a difference. any suggestions?

and if i want to flash the arter bootloader, in which field do i have to put it in odin? (i am not sure because it's bootloader + modem)

thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] davidl1983:
This is not the thread for CM12 nightly (official), but for temasek/arters build of it. IMO you should not use the official CM12, it is lagging far behind this one and is not a daily driver. This one is however very good. If you use Bluetooth I would suggest using the 4.0.2 kernel, if you are not using Bluetooth much then og for the 5.01. kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Sn0rre:
Hi davidl1983

I am not so familiar with flashing kernel :confused:

How should I do that?

Install temasek/arters rom zip through TWRP and also the kernel zip through TWRP?

Can I use TWRP, because there is only Philz and cwm named in the description.

I am using bluetooth often so I have to install kernel 4.0.2.

I am a i9506 user. So I have to install the fix. Should this be the zip that I install before rebooting?

That means the right order should be:

- enter twrp

- whipe

- install rom

- install kernel

- install gapps

- install fix

- reboot

Is that right?

Can you explain what is the difference of this rom brunch to the official one?

Thx,

Harry
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] davidl1983:
Jepp! Kernel is flashed the same way as the rom. You should also flash supersu after the fix.

Good luck
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Sn0rre:
Hi again.

In the releasenotes I read that 20150316 needs kernel 5.0 or higher.

So should I use 20150112 with 4.0.2 if I need bluetooth often?

Can someone plz explain in a few words the differences of this custom rom to the official?

Thx,

Harry
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] NZgeek:
With CM12, you'll never be able to keep /system as f2fs. The ROM install process flashes a complete file system image. CM11 did things a bit differently - it wiped the file system, then extracted the new contents from a .tar file.

It's not worth worrying about, anyway. The main advantages to f2fs are around writing to flash storage. When you compare read speeds with ext4, there's no difference. Given that almost nothing writes to /system, you gain nothing by switching it to f2fs.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] giony:
The camera has no Hdr mode. It is possible to activate it? I tried cm 12 nightly and is enabled on the default camera as well in Google's camera. But with this ROM no HDR is available, the icon is simply missing.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] davidl1983:
You really don't need the 5.0 kernel with the newest build. Arter probably said so to make sure everyone used it. The kernel 4.0.2 seems to be more stable (I downgraded from 5.0.1 to 4.0.2).
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Sn0rre:
Which patch do I have to use?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] jprask:
You should use v2 patch. If you use it you should not need to flash again if installing new version of the ROM.

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

ROM 8.8, Kernel 5.0.1, Patch v2 and latest PA Gapps Micro works super great for me. Both cameras working, Bluetooth wo problems, no battary drain (excellent performance), no FC's, no lags, etc, etc. Antutu score 45611. Very happy indeed. :D

I don't know if you use smartwatch. I got quite a lot of disconnects with the 5.0.1
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] jprask:
Ok, I don't have a smart watch, but works perfecly fine in my car for calls and streaming audio and with media player at home. No disconnects or any other problem. In my car 2 h per day since release. Hopefully next release will fix it for you and untill then, older version will do fine (as you mentioned).
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] pmarkov:
I have the same setup except I converted /system, /data and /cache to f2fs...But it appears to be ineffective as now my scores in Antutu are around 38K and previously with ext4 I achieved 43-44K. So I am starting to ask myself if switching to f2fs provides any performance improvement at all.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Taurdas:

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] pmarkov:
Actually I made a more detailed research using various benchmarking tools like Antutu, Androbench, CF-Bench and RL Benchmark and the final decision ext4 vs. f2fs is not so obvious :) On Antutu ext4 is better, CF-bench slight advantage for ext4, Androbench - mixed, RL Benchmark - slight advantage f2fs. So... no clear winner from my perspective.

Hi Guys.

Now I am on 8.8 with kernel 4.0.2 as davidl1983 told me because of my heavy bluetooth usage.

But there seems to be a issue with the screen orientation.

My screen doesn´t rotate if I turn my phone into horizontal orientation.

Is this a known bug? Could this be caused through the 4.0.2 kernel? Can I flash the kernel 5.0.1 without wiping everything?

Thx,

Harry
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] wkwk:
Yeah, u can flash the kernel independently. Wipe cache for good measure, before and after kernel flash.

Please advice what can be done.

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

But in the other hand, if youre using it as wlan router (or hotspot whatever) better use LTE if your carrier uses it becaus of lower battery drain per continuos data usage. But if youre strictly 2/3g better choose not to use 4G/Lte even if its somewhy recommended in settings.

I have never used nfc, kind of lame except to write your own train tickets ha ha :laugh:

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
And I or majority of the users have problems with the latest "package". I don't think the solution is to backtrack the development to an older version to find stability, but to try and troubleshoot the current problems and then if there are no other options, refer to an older version.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] m3mb3r:
Thats right, but if there are system ui and bluetooth problems in this new version and no other serious problems in my version and install order (really, like i said, the provided camera s/w is fail but other ones are out there) then I recommend making a most stable version of the package I linked.

And the order for reminder: rom, kernel, patch, gapps, supersu :) and I used odin v.1.85 but I dont know if that matters
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] ode_:
Just some thoughts: have Google changed lately something on their services, coz I'm now having huge amounts wakeclocks even on old KK paranoid Android with ancient PAGapps, and device is i9505, not typo, older s4. This started approx week ago.

Before shooting Rom/kernel/gapps we might have to wait some fixing from Google side.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] m3mb3r:
There are most def still some issues about lolipop, who nobody (not even from here) can or have the resources to do anything about. I guess its just about your opinion whether to use KK or LP.

Btw what is actually interesting, is that android kernel for some reasons works better with bluetooth devices that any GNU/X :eek:
