Rom ver 7.8 with Kernel 4.0.1 and patch v2 works. I only had problems with WLAN. But not sure if that problam was with my Router... I will observe it :cowboy:
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Aluxima:
Hey ! Here is my feedback with 7.8 and kernel 4.0.1 and patch 1.0 with my i9506:

I get 43000 with antutu benchmark.

The rom is smooth, I didn't found any bug. I'll come back here if I find something !

Nice job [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] ! ;)

Edit: When switching from an app using the camera to another one using the camera, I have to close the app and re-open it. But it works !

The clipped notification sound problem is for some strange reason restricted to only 'Argon' tone.

I changed it to something else and it's perfectly fine.

The locking sound is still clipped.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] chris2deuce:
So i am sure its a WLAN problem with this ROM or Kernel. Did someone has same problems? Any idea how to fix that? I´ll try Patch 1, and when still not better I´ll then try another Kernel.

WLAN says its connected, but no IP Adress is given.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] wkwk:
There is a generally reported bug in lollipop where wlan doesn't work properly in Chanel's 12 and 13. But I think that's fixed in the new kernel. Just to check, what channel does ur router operate in?. Try setting it to US channel range (1 to 11)

Bug?

Been following this ROM but found a bug , can't use front camera. anyone else having this problem? nice work though arter. keep it up
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] chris2deuce:
Hi,

I am on channel 7. My DSL Rotuer is a Fritz.Box 6360 Cable Router.

I played a little bit with my Router - Settings, and I figured out that if encryption is enabled (e.g. WPA2 PSK) my Galaxy S4 is connecting, but didn´t get an IP adress (and no DNS Servers etc.)

When I edit the WLAN Settings of the saved connection and set an manual IP, then all works fine.... Seems like an Client DHCP issue for me?!?

If encryption is off, the connection works greate with correct IP and settings.

Iam wondering why nobody else did have similar problems with WLAN?

Btw. Yesterday tryied "official CM12 nigtly cm-12-20150219-NIGHTLY-ks01lte.zip -> same WLAN issue.

I've noticed that with the 7.8 ROM + 4.0.1 Kernel + Patch v1, my WLAN icon is always sending and receiving data, small bytes quantity but non the less, I think that's the reason my battery is draining way faster, I have to charge it every day now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
Attempting to start Polycom RealPresence Mobile, but I get a FC before it even opens. Normally I'd consult with the app maker, but there seems to be more wrong with the roms I reckon. With solk's rom, the video was very odd and just had green lines with it. But with this rom I just get a force close. And with my other phone (i9100 with Slimkat) I've no problems. So yea, just wondering if there's all alright with the camera?

Best ROM so far!

:good:

I just have to say, that this ROM is the best I have tried so far. After the latest updates of this ROM, everything works perfectly for me. No errors found at all - and battery life is very good I think.

Good work arter :).
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kornelius1982:
Regarding battery life, here`s some screens of heavy usage on LTE network. I thinks i`s great. I had 8h of SOT on wifi.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] stume57:
I had somekind of a wakelock, device would not deep sleep with arters rom and the official cm (complete wipe with every flash). Flashed the original samsung lollipop rom and now have no issues with battery life (though samsung rom is slow and laggy..). All the same apps installed as with other roms.

Tried to find the root cause of this and it was related to google services & android system, but could not find any easy fixes for this, like disabling things from privacy manager.. Lost 50% per 24h even with almost no use at all, with google services using battery 40% when checking from stats?

If someone knew how to fix this I would gladly switch back to cm12?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] msrexploder23:
With this rom and kernel does the external storage (move apps to sd ) issue fixed?Is this build better than arter's97 Galaxy S5 Touchwizz firmware? Please answer if someone has tested both roms.

Camera Bugs for me..

The camera

Problem #1 :

The front- and back camera stucks and sometimes i cant even take pictures..

Problem #2 :

If im recording, the sound its like you scratch something in the background..

Problem #3 :

Force closing after launching the camera app..

These are the problems I always get with the camera..

I dont know if everyone has these problems but it would be very nice if u can fix this. :good::o

The rest of the ROM works very smooth and perfect, no problems found except the camera.

With AnTuTu i get more then 44k points, games running more then smooth haha, multitasking works perfectly and so on..

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Revolted5:
As much as I like to test ROM's I think this is the best one so far, I'm currently on the Galaxy S5 arter97 ROM and I agree, touchwiz is a laggy sob, so I'll be back to this one when a new release comes, maybe even to the current version if touchwiz starts to annoy me too much. ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kornelius1982:
I`m pretty sure there will be no 5.0.2 as Google is releasing 5.1 soon, but Samsung most probably will delay 3-4 months or more with update to 5.1
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
Especially for our phone when SGS6 is around the corner. Does Samsung ever determine like end of life for its phones? Checked and apparently sgs2 doesn't get anything beyond 4.1.2. Are we to assume "android 6" will be the last one for i9506...

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] SubNoizey:
Yeah, I noticed that after posting. Seems to be an isssue with CM12 theme engine and not just temasek/arter roms. Is there anyway to remove the theme from recovery??

Just in case if I want to restore fully to original, how do I restore stock ROM etc?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kornelius1982:
You should download stock rom and flash it via odin.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Revolted5:
Not that I know of, I read from the theme author description to use something like Aroma File Manager from the TWRP Recovery and delete the theme folder, but I'm not experienced enough, since I use CWM Recovery, I just ended up formatting everything and restoring my backup, both the boot and font from the theme creates a bootloop since the theme engine is still in alpha stage.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kornelius1982:
It`s usable already and I`d call it beta stage not alpha.

I`m using Dark Material from Nicholas and it`s perfect for me as it can be with current theme engine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Revolted5:
Oh, you're right, that theme does work great thanks, the theme engine is a great CM feature I must say ;)

EDIT: Is there a way to find out what is making the WI-FI constantly transmit small amounts of data? I've completely formatted and installed everything clean, it was ok for about 12 hours, now its back at it again, its eating the battery really fast, is someone else having this issue?

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] pmarkov:
Up to date install procedure?

Hi guys, i am still hesitating if I should try this ROM but the one thing that bothers me besides I'm gonna trip the KNOX flag is the lack of clear install procedure - obviously the main page is not updated and while scrolling the thread I realized there are at least 5 components:

Recovery - it should be installed first and it seems it's another thread to look for

ROM - latest version should be 7.8?

Kernel - obviously available in a different thread, latest is 4.01?

Patch - not sure what is the purpose of this and which version is the latest

Gapps - i suppose I could use the standard ones available on various sources for Lollipop?

It seems I have to dig through the whole thread to find how to do this coming from a stock Lollipop 5.01. Could any of the experts here try to summarize in brief the major steps?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Revolted5:
That's the correct order of installation, you may also want to install SuperSU at the end.

1. Recovery: Choose one from this index - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701681 - I use ClockWorkMod 6.0.4.8, but you can pick one the other two if you want.

2. ROM: 7.8 is the latest version

3. Kernel: 4.0.1 is the latest version

4. Patch: I'm not sure if really needed but I installed it, latest version is 2.0 - https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/arter97/S4/ROM/AOSP/i9506_patch

5. Gapps: Pick a pack from this thread, that's what was always suggested to me and never had problems with them - http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900

6. SuperSU: On a custom ROM I think its a must have, but its up to you to install or not - http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

I think I finally found out why WIFI was constantly receiving and sending small amounts of data, I was using the default email app that comes with this ROM, after deleting my email accounts, disabling the email app and exchange services the WIFI finally stopped his constant data, I installed Type (previously known as Blue Mail), the WIFI is working normally, I'm not 100% sure but I'll report back if the WIFI goes berserk again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] pmarkov:
It's really amazing ROM

Thanks dude, everything went fine. So now I am with 7.8 ROM, kernel 4.01 and patch 2. No bugs so far and I must admit I am really impressed with the performance and smoothness of this ROM. After the stock Lollipop update I got the feeling my phone is some 5 years old Android device with 700mhz CPU and 384 RAM - everything was so slow and laggy. But now It's like i bought a new phone :) So it seems tripping the KNOX was worth at the end - only if i could get rid of this annoying set warranty bit message during boot but anyway - as far as I understood it's always there when using custom kernel. Nevertheless I think arter97 did a brilliant job which even inspired me for a small donation :cool: Way to go, arter97 - it's really amazing work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Revolted5:
Glad I could be of some help, the only issues that are well known on CM based ROM's is the camera feature, the rest as you said it, arter97 made an awesome job ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] awicks:
I installed this on my i9506 last night, coming from solk2's CM11. The process was really easily, and the ROM is pretty much flawless.

I initially had an issue with Bluetooth where the phone didn't respond to controls on my Bluetooth player, so I cleared the cache and Dalvik cache and then it started working as expected.

I am really pleased with this ROM - many thanks.

I think there's something wrong with the video recording or video mode viewing. Default camera app works fine. When attempting to use video recording (front camera) with CameraZoomFX, it automatically opens default Camera app. When trying to record with rear camera, app crashes. Polycom RealPresence crashes when starting up. I've no Snapchat for example where I might be able to test it again.

Use 1080p instead of 4K for all the "Video recording problem folks" out there.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
Is there a way to set the whole device to use 1080p instead of 4k? In Polycom (nor CameraZoom) there's no option to set the video resolution. Switching to 1080p in default camera app made the CameraZoom app swith over to default camera app when attempting to use video recording.

As for Polycom, it's not really a "video recording" problem since it's a video conferencing app. Not recording, but for interactive video conferencing. I use it for work a lot so, but can't troubleshoot more since it force closes before it opens up. Whcih brings me to my original question. Is there a way to set the whole device to use 1080p instead of 4k?
