Lol thanks alberto96 I was struggling to get my old modem working..will restore my efs.any other thing to do?to get it working.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] MANNSAAB:
its not working on touching display...
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Arjoni:
Should we flash the latest lollipop bootloader?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] NDELEON:
Dam it Samsung!!

What should I do? I'm torn between Alberto's Cm12 and stock Rom. Is it worth sacrificing Bluetooth functionality over this?

It's like a switch ROM every 3 days.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] melinerunen:
Go for a full stock rom trougt Odin, and test everything. If it works then go back to cm :)

AOSP all the way :P

I really wanted to use this app :( Thanks anyway :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] TheAmazingAbudi:
13th Feb build definitely feels very stable. However, the changelog says that all small transitions and animation lags fixed. I'm still getting lag on every one of the animations I used to get it on. (Well, the app drawer animation in Launcher3 is fixed, but that's it)

Specifically, there's random stutter when tapping the settings icon in the quick settings header, the animation with which number buttons show up in the dialer, and the card sliding up animation when viewing a contact card. All of these are random; sometimes they happen, sometimes they don't.

And the inverted colors bug is still present. Disabling H/W overlays fixes it for me.

Not sure if these if these were supposed to be fixed or no, but I've clean flashed the 13th Feb build, and these stutters are still present.

Nice work nonetheless, best rom I've used on this phone. Period.

Another interesting thing I've noticed... Not sure if this was the same with previous versions, but the name of downloaded file says ____0213, but in the About Phone section, the version number says ____0212.

Is this expected? :-/
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] kaisarito:
Some bugs I've encountered on the latest build, lock screen always says no service no unless you are in airplane mode. Talking with headphones is broken now the headphones become like microphones in your ears amplifying even the sound of your breath, I'm using the Russian modem+bootloader.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] rbaker91:
I don't have any of these problems.

I've been using headsets for talking since I installed the ROM. Works even on teamspeak.

HOWEVER, IR doesn't seem to be working.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] dandemonic:
Strange bug, and you are not the first user to report this occurring, albeit on earlier builds.

I'm on latest build, also using Russian modem, but not lp bootloader, and not experiencing this issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] asad007:
Not happening here

Signal perfect

Animations perfect (opening an app for the first time stutters ,once it is in memory ,its all smooth )

IR perfect (watch on)

I'm even using xposed framework :p

[MENTION=4296690]asad007[/MENTION] do you have the bin/zip file for the modem (latest i9500 lp Indian modem) , Its really slow to dl the whole stock rom.... :P

[MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] 13feb build is awesome. Super smooth and stable... Keep up the good work... Kudos...

Few Observations

1. When I talk with hands free, My voice also loops back to my headphones.... Other end hears my voice clearly.. But I also hear my self... Even taps on the mic are audible

I'll try with the Indian modem as soon as I get my hands on it.... (using Russian lp Modem RT now )

2. Auto brightness Is not working (Adaptive display)

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
I don't know why but it isn't happening here. I'll investigate more on it and let you know ASAP.

Working on it, actually i can't find a proper fix without sacrifying wake-up speed.

Restoring efs should be enough.

Uhm...can you provide me some logs?

Read my reply on discussion thread.

You're welcome.

1) I can't notice any lag here :/

2) Just different time zone, i use xda build server (located in the USA) so i had to rename it manually. Just ignore that ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
1) This is a pretty strange bug xD I'll investigate on it ASAP.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Jhonys:
An annoying issue i'm facing, not sure if it's classified as a bug.

When ever I update to a new version of the rom, my playlists in google play are blank. I mean, at first when I enter the playlist the songs names are still there but as soon as i try to play something, an error appears which states the files cannot be found and the playlist is erased. This is extremely annoying and time consuming.

Is there a way around it? It is like the songs path changes every time. (my music is on the SD card).

Other than that, great rom. My daily driver for a good few weeks now. Cheers

What do you suppose is causing the stutter then? And how do I fix it? Feels pretty jarring in the middle of using super smooth lollipop. :P
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] asad007:
Is the recovery also updated while installing the ROM ?

It is really tedious putting apk in /data/app ( they work perfectly)

Everything is literally perfect (as of yet) it's just the problem faced of installing apk from sdcard .

I tested my Bluetooth speaker and it sounds prefectly

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

Also Just noticed battery draining a bit quickly
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] melekbarca:
+1 the speaker sound is a little bit low and the music app is laggy however this rom is very smooth and stable it's even smmother than stock lollipop

great job @Alberto96
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] NDELEON:
I second that in terms of smoothness, That recent app switcher is faster than my phone and smoother than my babies butt?

My Bluetooth car kit, HBC-30, gives me a distortion from the beginning. It didn't work on any build.

What do you need to solve it? I guess you need a log file. From what: when I pair or when I make the call,... [MENTION=218829]ALBERTO[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Khurry:
the whole ROM is 255 MB? :o

is it good to go?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] mathy007:
That's the beauty of AOSP no bloatware pure Android
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] tembares:
Here is my case.

I woke up around 4.30am. My phone was charged. I unplugged it and watched the battery status. As it was, with screen on, the prognoses was about 4 hours of use.

I feel asleep again and 1 hour later I checked the status again: prognoses about 14 hours of use.

Then I opened a news app to read news. Then the phone freezes and rebooted. While booting a popup showed that the phone should power off. So it did. This popup I know when the battery is empty.

Attached is a screenshot of the battery status.

I experience a lot of unwilling reboots. When I take my phone I see that I was rebooted, because I have to enter my SIM pin code.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] melekbarca:
No such issue hère
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] prmah:
Using since new build was uploaded, no battery drain issue,try clean install.

If that does not work, install stock first then re-root and try install.

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

I my case only first call sounds parrot, then on wards works fine. But there is still click sound in between calls.

how to Ambient Display woks on this rom ?

work perfect like nexus 6 ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] rbaker91:
I've found some relatively minor bugs

1 email app is turning the sync frequency to never automatically every time. It was working on past builds. Also it's been crashing if you have more than one account and try to open the combined view.

2 contacts are showing last names first even if you set to first names first. If you change the setting they get fixed but reset to last name first on the next time you open the contacts.

3 calls remain silent for the duration of the call if you hit speaker button before it connects and you hear the ringing tone.

I'm also having some problems with Bluetooth. On my car the call is OK if I make the call, but if I'm receiving nothing can be heard.

Everything else is fine tho. Smooth as always. Great work.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] rbaker91:
Weird. For me it works both ways, if I use the car or the phone for making the calls they work. But if I'm receiving I have no audio. Maybe its modem related (?). No idea.

Hi [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION],

I have done a clean install 02/14 build but facing below issues:

1. Phone heating seriously, if using chrome(Internet over wifi) while charging .

2. Sound gone in calls randomly, reboot solved the problem.

3. Battery life decreased in this build.

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] TheAmazingAbudi:
I'm in quite a dilemma right now. The speed on this rom is amazing, but I just flashed frapeti's build and the battery life is amazing.

The difference is big! On this rom, with mobile data and wifi off, over a night of about 6 hours of sleep, the battery would go down by 10%. On frapeti's build, that would be 0%. I'm not even exaggerating. If I leave mobile data on, it would lose 5-6% overnight, and with it off, the battery level would be same as when I went to sleep.

Better idle results in better battery life in the day too. On this rom, I barely get 2hr of SOT. On frapeti's, 2hr 45mins to 3hr is normal.

Why is battery life bad on this rom? While the screen is on, I can understand. This rom is faster. But why the drain when idle?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] braulio_holtz:
I noticed that the battery life is not good, another detail, when it is less than 10% seems that at the time ends (begins to restart and shut down by a low charge), but maybe I need to recalibrate the battery

Performance ROM is fantastic, super stable. Some adjustments and things will improve

Somewhat a nooby question, but is there a way to allow only 3G mode and not have it fluctuate between 3G and E?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] rbaker91:
Most likely your phone is already like that. But if it keeps hopping between 3g and E that's probably your provider's doing. But it might be expecting 3g that may be slow or overloaded so the phone switches data modes to maintain at least some connectivity.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] SnMSlrC:
Dialer > *#*#4636#*#* > Phone Information > Set network type > WCDMA Only.. once you get out of the menu ur network should stay on 3g or h.. not E. It will reset though when you restart the phone so ud have to keep doing it. Keeps happening here in the philippines with globe and it sucks up the battery when it jumps on E and staying there even when h+ is available.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Mogten:
Thanks so much. This worked. Happens to me here in Nigeria too. Any way to improve battery life using any mod? I see screenshots of people having longer battery life and I wonder how they achieved it. Cos I get longer battery life on stock based ROMs, only that I like this ROM more. But I get a maximum of 2.5 hours screen on time on here, while on stock I get almost 5 hours. My battery health is good.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] white7561:
Yup. I have i9500 and i buy it a month after it released :) thx for helping. And all sensors and thing still work perfectly
