I've not yet had a single crash or reboot since cm12 nightlies were released.

To me, this ROM is solid. I think there's maybe still Bluetooth audio bug, but I don't use Bluetooth audio. My camera is fine, no hanging. It's definitely daily driver for me. No problems at all with anything I use.

Did you do a full clean install?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] faldo:
I think it's a matter of how you use the phone on a daily basis. I'm not alone in having found problems with the camera which suggest some people use the camera in the same way and have the the problems.

Don't get me wrong, this is a great ROM in so many ways, so many things seems to work perfecly, i just whish the developers had a look at this thread and looked into the aprox 40 posts reporting problems with the camera.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jd1001:
I think the camera is a driver issue. I'm sure the devs do look at these forums but there is nothing they can do if they can't get the correct drivers from the manufacturer.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Soufiansky:
Agree with opinions about this ROM in the last 2-3 pages

CM is a great rom but not for a daily use , camera bugs , launcher freezes , and some lags..Yes it is fluid is some nightlys , but after you update , you can get surprised with some new bugs..

I'm not just talking , this is with my "Personnal" experience.

I think CM12 need a good 2-3 months to be a "real" "daily" driver.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Cozmos23:
Just tested a few shots with the cam and had no problems, no matter if front vor back. Using stock CM cam.

Also no reboots or other issues mentioned for me.

Fresh install 0226 nightly.

Don't blame CM they are doing awesome work while Samsung is trying to release LP.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DSA:
The required files for the camera on our device are proprietary (same as Bluetooth). That means cm devs don't have access to these files and have to work around it.

You have to get Samsung (or the related OEM company) to open source their files

The camera has always been an issue for Samsung phones on aosp
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mittaa:
For me CM12 have been working fine as daily from the very first day and I never looked back.

Yes ... I too have had some strange problem with Gallery duplicates and a few glitches now and here, but all together I love CM12.

Nearly every new nightly comes with new features and optimization.

Using Snap Camera with no problems.

I'm not using BT and i'm not a heavy gamer.

recent calls

Hi,

I'm new to CM12, everything seems to work so far, but I'm facing one big issue (I9505 12-20150228-jfltexx):

1) If I get a call only the number is shown, not the name of the caller. It seems to be an issue with Exchange accounts (if a caller is listed e.g. in my LinkedIn contacts the name is displayed). Any idea how to fix this?

2) Update procedure: With CM11 I downloaded a new nightly version and everything was done automatically (installing and reboot). Now with CM12 my device reboots, then enters download mode for a second and then black screen. I can update manually via download mode and install from sdcard. Is there anything I've to do to get the "automatic mode" back?

greetings,

CyberMCM

Hi

Did anybody have problems with mobile data on the 28th nightly? I dirty upgraded from the 23rd and my 3g was constantly dropping. Had to restore my 23rd nandroid to get it working properly again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] M4ttz:
So this will work on an i9507 no problems?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] superbalza:
I'm using cm12 by two weeks now, and I'm very satisfied, it's a good daily driver.

I just miss something:

1) the 2g/3g toggle notification tile

2) the notification drawer that closes automatically when I click on any tile

3) toast notifications

In particular for the latter, there is any fix?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] r0ckarong:
That doesn't work for me at all. I press back and home but nothing happens except the message to press these buttons keeps showing. I have to do a soft reboot to get back to using the phone.

Guys, currently I'm using Google Camera to take photos (since stock CM12 camera sucks on this phone).

I've got really used to 3 options on the stock Samsung Camera app: AntiShake, HDR and writing the photos to the SD card.

Is there any nice camera app that can provide me with those ? (free or paid - doesn't make any difference as long as it'll work nice).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xDroidZz:
Snap HDR camerw i think is it called.

But i do prefer Cinema And Camera FV5 those 2 are my fav camera apps when i switch to aosp roms.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] eddloschi:
If I may ask, was it a dirty or a clean flash?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] iozzo:
Ok, not sure since when, but I no longer can hear the mobile ringing.

Also, as I select a new ringer, I can't hear the preview.

Is it the case for anyone else? I am on the last nightly and, so far, this is the only issue I am facing.

Help anyone?

Sorry but I wasn't asking how to flash a ROM, I was asking how he installed the 28th nightly, dirty or clean. I'm just trying to pinpoint what caused mobile data issues for me, as after a clean flash I take ages to reconfigure everything[emoji12]
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jstath1972:
Sorry my mistake... :o
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] iozzo:
Wow, even if I add an mp3 as a custom ringer, it won't play. It makes me select it but it wont play.

In the allarm, as soon as I select a ringer, it gets back to "silent" as if the ringer is not found or not usable or something.

Am I really the only one? What can I do to fix it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jd1001:
I'd suggest a clean reflash. I just tested my notifications and they work perfectly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] iozzo:
Reflash did the trick. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jd1001:
Nice one! :)

On another not does anyone know if CM will ever give the option to disable the notification drawer on the lockscreen? For me it's a bit of a security risk.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
Shoulda opened me eyes shouldn't I!! lol. Thanx for the tip :)

Another quick question for everyone...

When flashing an updated version of the ROM, does anyone else get multiple reboots during the Android is upgrading... bit??

Mine seems to do a couple apps, then reboots, then does a few more, reboot, then a big chunk, reboot, few more, reboot, u get the idea. I just flashed the 20150301 nightlie and it has been in the Android is upgrading... screen for about 5-10 minutes so far.

EDIT: I'm an idiot!! My battery was dying, and that's why it kept rebooting. Gawd damn it!! Such a n00b at times!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] devsk:
Music app seems to be dying in builds greater than equal to 0226. Anyone else seeing that?

That's a major loss.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DSA:
install a new one
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] devsk:
you mean upgrade to latest CM12 nightly? Already on March 1st one.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DSA:
no. i mean install a new music player
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MickyFoley:
I asked in another board if anyone has the same issue since days & they confirmed at least the 1st issue:

I don't know the exactly option since I had another annoying bug too, but first the 1st one:

The setting where you can turn off or configure the time the backlight stays on for the the hardwarebuttons: It won't stick. And for sure: All was wiped correctly by latest TWRP 2.8.4.0 :).

Now the 2nd problem & this one wasn't reproducible with the clean install of CM12 from 28th:

I lost some buttons of the notificationbar & even by trying to delete the current ones and re-add them: They stayed disappeared. I know, kinda weird problem. But this was the final reason to wait for a fix.

I'm also looking what will be included in the next Nighty, but it seems that nobody ever at least used the option to turn off the backlight of the hardwarebuttons or toggled the time :).

Hopyfully, those problems are getting solved. It's just a bit crazy, because it worked some days before with earlier Nightly-builds.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] NZgeek:
Settings > Notification Manager. The first option controls which notifications are shown on the lock screen.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] hectorviov:
Hey I'm having a problem, after I installed cm12 and Gapps everything is working fine, except Google Now, I can't enable the cards and I don't have the left home screen with them. When I tired enabling them in Google Settings -> Search & Now -> Now cards, Show cards is greyed out and says Network error: Check your network connections and try again.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jd1001:
Not the notification drawer though which is what I was talking about.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
Hey guys.

Has anyone else noticed drastically lower call and message tones on 20150301 nightlie??

Also, my clock/alarm app (stock) crapped out last night and my alarm didn't go off so I was an hour late to work today :( lmao.

---------- Post added at 07:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 AM ----------

Set a secure lock screen then.

Pin or pattern, they lock the notification drawer, having it on swipe only is insecure so notification drawer is also left insecure.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] NZgeek:
Sorry, gotcha now.

It's it the notifications that bother you, or the quick toggles in the drawer? I can see potential security concerns in both cases. The notification content issue is pretty obvious. Less obvious is the ability for someone to turn off both WiFi and mobile data to prevent the phone from being found.

I assume that it's not the notifications that bother you. It appears that they don't show in the pull-down, just on the lock screen itself.

As for the toggles, it'd be nice to have a security option to either disable them outright, or at least to choose whether they can be toggled from the lock screen. For example, I don't care too much if the hotspot, Bluetooth or the torch are toggled, but I'd prefer that GPS and mobile data stay active.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jd1001:
Hey, yeah it's just an option would be nice to disable the drawer on lockscreen or chose what toggles to show. I was just imagining my phone being stolen, me trying to track it and not being able to because all signals were toggled off. Just a thought as I have seen this option on other roms.

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------

Lol obviously. You're wrong though. Secure pin or not, notification drawer is accessible from the lockscreen.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Dj Telo:
Am I the only one missing the option to unlock the device by pressing the home button that existed in CM11? Is there any workaround to achieve that behaviour? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Zerreth:
Coming from a Nikon D7000, this camera app is fantastic. Its super fast, has a familiar DSLR interface and most importantly, just works. No crashes on my i9505 26 Feb Nightly.

I only wish it had some way to auto merge the bracketed shots :/ HDR mode is normally always on in my camera apps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
I am very sorry, I was wrong.

My wife's S4 mini is running the unofficial CM12 build and on her phone she always has a pattern lock, her notification drawer is not accessible when locked so I took it that it was a CM12 feature, not a feature of the unofficial build.

I just tested on my S4 and it isn't secure at all, this does kinda need to be looked at as it totally leaves our "SECURE" phones open to easy access if stolen or lost.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DSA:
even if you did block the qs pulldown, what would stop someone (who has stolen the phone) pulling the battery, rebooting to recovery and wiping the phone? - Nothing
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
Dunno why ur quoting me on this, it wasn't my question in the first place.

My phone is unlocked all the time, so if u wanna steel it, feel free, lol.

---------- Post added at 03:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

I do have another question tho,anyone have any ideas why I can't send a message that is 2 text messages long to my wife, (S4 mini running CM12 unofficial) yet I can send the same length message to myself.

It is really weird, and seems to have only started to happen today after flashing 20150301 nightlie last night.

Any ideas?? Its the weirdest bug I think I've ever had.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] simonbigwave:
for all cm12 nightly i dirty flash, no wipe system. i think i wipes system only once months ago. but generally if any hiccups or minor bugs, i just do wipe cache and Dalvik see if it helps. i never wipe data (but i came from cm11 before cm12).

it doesn't matter if you have that option for qs pulldown or not - in regards to security, that is the least of your worries

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] devsk:
Installed google music player and it is crashing as well. What's up with that?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
Again, I totally understand what is being said here, but not everyone knows about recovery, or how to wipe a phone.

Someone picks up a phone in a club or bar and wants to turn it off, or at least turn off data/WiFi/turn on aeroplane mode, can do so even if our phone is locked, and surely this is the whole purpose of having a secure lock screen, so there is no instant access to the device.

This was never a discussion about pulling the battery and rebooting to recovery, it was just about the quick settings and notification drawer being left insecure when a pin / pattern code were implemented.

And please, don't think I am trying to be rude, I just wish to get my point across and also say that I was just trying to help in the first place.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DSA:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] NZgeek:
Our just use the root built into CM12. You need to enable the developer tools menu (Settings, About phone, tap build number until it says you're a developer) and there's an option in there about root. Enable it for apps and TiBu should work.

Weird. I even cleaned cache and Dalvik and updated again with the same result.

I'll wait the tomorrow nightly and let cyandelta merge the two and see what happens.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nico3469:
Same error for me using Cyandelta :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] iozzo:
I see, so it must be an issue with using a delta instead of the full update.

I'll update tomorrows nightly from the recovery and start using cyandelta afterwords hoping the issue is limited to this instance.

Thanks

EDIT2:

Found the solution, as you can see in the next nightly changelog :"SystemUI: fix crashes with custom lockscreen shortcuts"

I had replaced the google camera with CameraFX in the lockscreen shortcut and that, caused the issue. Just replace it with the default and you will be fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] zambeezi:
Same here, reverting back to 03/02.

Someone who finds or steals your phone can just pull the battery and then boot into recovery anyway. Or if it's a unibody, disconnect and then reconnect the battery then boot into recovery. You can just hold the power button and most phones will eventually reboot.

But the thing is, 99.5% of thieves who steal or people who find your phone, don't have a clue about what recovery even is, or how to get into it.

Hi there

Im not sure if anyone else is having the issue of the screen blacking out on a call etc its really annouying as if you want to use the keyboard or keypad you need to lay the phone down horizonal and hit the power button and even that only works about 2/10 times and fix or is there a setting im missing somewhere etc ..

any help appreciated thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] churchi:
Hi All,

I am having an issue where when my phone is in standby (wifi off in this example), and i have someone text it or ring it, there is cell connection to the network and i can receive notifications and other things like that. However as soon as i turn on my screen with the power button, the cell signal drops out (i can see it briefly have signal then it looses all the bars) and i have no 3G/data service on the phone. The cell service just drops out. I unlock my phone and then browse the apps and still there is no cell service. After about somewhere between 30-60 seconds finally the mobile finds cell service again and it stays connected to the service provider while i have my phone screen turned on.

If the screen times out then i press the power button to wake it up again (even like 10 seconds after the screen went to sleep) the cell service i can see was briefly connected then it disconnects again and i have no bars on the top of my phone. Really strange.

So as you can tell when there is no bars, i cant send an sms or make/receive a call.

Any thought on why this is happening?

Thanks guys.
