Great ROM and usable as daily driver.

But there are some annoying issues, that have been reported many times, and I hope the dev's are working to solve them.

1. BT only works partially or is very unreliable. Reports of memory leak have been mentioned. I am experiencing this both when using car handsfree (VAG/Skoda), streaming audio and syncing with Polar app. Logs are attached (for the third time)

2. SD Card ring tones and notification sounds that are configured are reset/lost after every reboot.

3. Stock Camera freezes after taking pictures with flash.

4. Automatic update script doesn't work. I have to manually flash each update from inside recovery.

I realize that there are workarounds for some of these issues, but I donæt like workarounds for issues that should be (easily?) fixed.

Hope someone can confirm that issues are logged in Jira, and that we get these fixed soon.

Hi betelgeuse74!

It's the same for me, I've tried CM12 for few days, really liked it, but then I had to go back to the original Samsung ROM (although a little modified, with a lot of Sammy garbage deleted or freezed) as CM12 BT performance with my VW Golf 7 was really unstable and unreliable....

A real pity, hope a fix will come soon so I can drop Sammy TW to come back to CM!

Thanks for this post. I switched to this ROM after someone said it was "rock solid"... Ah, it seems they were wrong :(

I also feel that the cell standby power consumption is excessive. Just having my phone sit overnight it drained from 100% to 76%. That's around 3.5% per hour.

Here is my baseband and ROM:

Do I need to upgrade my modem again or is this a bug?

Lastly, I find this doesn't charge as quick as it should. I've seen it pull around 1.8amps, now it only does around 1.3. Same hardware mind you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rootuser11:
At least for me, CM12 BT works just fine with PCM. Streaming music / hands-free both work without dropping. What are your issues? What do you mean by unstable/unreliable?

When I use System profiles it sometimes messed up Bluetooth Sharing, but no longer does that.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] knuckles1978:
Yeah, it's brilliant for me. I didn't notice any Bluetooth bug because I don't use Bluetooth audio. And I didn't notice that the updater doesn't work because I manually flash my updates anyway, that's the way I like to do it.

<Mod Edit>

No problems at all for me. Or nothing that I've noticed yet anyway. Great ROM. Love it :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] SergioA:
Hi rootuser11, thanks for your answer ;)

I mean this:

- connection times are are much longer than with the original rom (let's say minutes instead of seconds)

- often I find the infamous "BT sharing stopped working" message and I have to disable and re-enable BT

- reconnections after short times (e.g. exit the car and come back in a few minutes) neve happen (no problems at all with the original rom)

It's a real pity, I WANT to use CM12, but I can't live without BT in the car....

I plan to check the situation again in short time by reinstalling CM12 from scratch (last time I made a wipe data + factory reset before installation, I will try a full format just to be on the safe side)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ed_bracam:
Same for me. Unstable bluetooth and nobody try to solve it. I installed GPE L and now BT is OK. Just less functions than on CM12... But works.

Hi ed_bracam

do you mean this?

[ROM]【5.0.1】Google Play Edition 【JFLTE-GPE】 - 02-10-2015

I will give it a try!

Sergio
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ed_bracam:
Yes this one. I have the previous version, not the one from the 10th. I will update this evening. I had CM12 : Several BT crashes per day. GPE : nothing yet
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] SergioA:
Wow, you give me hope again, my BT addiction may be satisfied ;)

<Mod Edit>
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] laolaxyz:
well - I am using CM12 since some weeks - no problem at all with BT (since BTLE is working mid of January).

However, with the Cyandelta update from the 11th Feb. something went wrong. After installation of the update, the booting process started normal, Android system was updated but ended with a black screen (no PIN request - just black). Dirty flash with the ZIP of the 7th ended with the same black screen. Finally I did start from the scratch with full wipe, installed the ZIP of the 7th, after that the GApps and the ROM booted normal. Lazy as I am I restored all my apps with Titanium backup. Everthing seemed to be fine but this morning I noticed major problems with BT in my car (which never happend before). BT got connected and after some seconds/minutes, BT was switched off by Android (and therefor the connection got lost). After 1-2 seconds the BT connection was swiched on again. This procedure was without end... :(

What made I different ? Before I never restored my apps via Titanium backup - when I came form 4.x I installed every single apps again. After notice the BT trouble I installed the 11th Feb update again (dirty flash) and now BT is working again perfect in my car. May be Titanium back up is messing up something when restoring apps which are using the BT function ? Just a thought - may be totally wrong...

Regards

laola
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] SergioA:
Hi laola, thanks for the tip, I used TB to restore some apps, maybe it messed up something; will try a clean installation and test BT with the bare system and no restore at all

Step Counter/Pedometer

Hi,

<Mod Edit>

One question - has anyone got access to the step counter sensor? I've seen it in KitKat OmniROm, and maybe CM11 (not sure). It's low priority, just interested in experimenting with it.

Cheers

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nmeuret:
Download last nightly (20150212) and the update failed (bootloop).

Reinstall yesterday version (always dirty flash) and it works again.

:eek:

UPDATE : I was on MultiRom and ran CM12 on second ROM. Failed. Restore CM12 to primary ROM and the update is OK now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Virnik0:
Not related to baseband probably. I am using correct baseband, modem (both GSM and LTE), my CSC is correct as well, bootloader is in accordance to my modems....no avail.

Stock ROM, or even CM11 works fine. CM12 does work on 3G and 4G only, but I have no signal on 2G.

I live in Czech Republic, and we do use little bit wider baseband then EURO.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] SergioA:
CM12 BT is a no go with VW BT 5674

I reply to myself :p

Made a superclean installation of latest build (cm-12-20150212-NIGHTLY-jfltexx + pa_gapps-modular-micro-5.0.1-RC4-20150208-signed) wiping everything, no further installation of apps, no restores from TB or anything else, no restore from Google cloud..........

Bluetooth is still buggy and unreliable, first connection to my Golf 7 car kit (VW BT 5674) seems ok, BUT out of the car, back again in 2 minutes and bang, BT sharing error is here again and no more connection...

Time to change ROM or back to Sammy, really sad not being able to use CM12, but BT for me is essential :(

FINAL UPDATE

I made the same "superclean installation" with GPE

[ROM]【5.0.1】Google Play Edition 【JFLTE-GPE】 - 02-10-2015

And Bluetooth is perfectly fine, just as with Sammy ROM :laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ed_bracam:
<Mod Edit>

But I'm sorry to polluate this topic about CM12 talking to the GPE but if nobody wants to analyse our BT problem, let say to everybody that is not satified by the CM12 bluetooth (also CM11 but less unstable). Change for GPE version!!!! I did this evening drive with my car using Waze navigation, goolgle music connected to my car and my G watch R. No problem :) I was also able to work Viper4android without sound cracking.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kewinhdorff:
eject drives?

hey i was in a hurry so i don't remember if a ejected had so much in my mind. when cable plugged in with device to a windows 7 computer the device shows as a portable media device (MTP). not mounting the internal storage and ext sd card 64gb as individual drives. i think i ejected it before removal but not sure. got paranoid that any of my internal storage or sd card is corrupted or damaged. is there a way to check if any of them are damaged fro whitin the phone or can i do it from a pc. i did manage to check the sd card 64gb in windows scanning it for errors in preferences and tools (but i had to put the card in an adapter to enter those preferences ... and it showed no errors or what so ever. but i can't do it on the internal storage. how to i do it on the internal storage?

how bad is it to remove the device without ejecting first ? thnks

Well, I can actually hit 4hrs on gpe, while I usually stop at 3½ using cm... Not a great difference too, I just answered the guy with my experience :) I personally don't use BT so much, so nothing to complain about.

Help please after a clean install my music player shows all Songs twice and crashes. The only thing that fixes this issue is unmount and remounting the SD card but after a reboot this issue is back. I already tried clean cache, dalvik in recovery and also the cm music player cache and data. I can also do a clean install again but im afraid it will happen again. Does anyone know how to fix this. Only thing i can guess is that the musicplayers cache is Messing up while rescanning music or the media Scanner in the latest nightly is buggy. Thanks

Wipe its data and leave it re-scan your music folders.

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

Question is, what can we do about it? CM12 support only EURO Band, according to Phone info. It makes quite difference, because 3G/4G is not everywhere, 2G is.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nadejo:
AS i said, i already wiped its data or do you mean in recovery?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Virnik0:
nope, only app data of your music player. I am using different player, and don't have such issues. make sure that you'll wipe mediaprovider app's data too

Greetings from Slovakia ;)

I don't know if there's any difference in the network frequencies between our countries. However for me 2G works without any problems. I use it all the time at home due to WiFi connection and poor 3G signal.

I'm on latest nightly and MJ5 modem.

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------

Is it only me or the gesture topping on the built-in keyboard doesn't work?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Virnik0:
There are big differencies. Slovakia is using only 900/1800 band, which exactly fits EURO band. In Czech Republic, we are using 800/900/1800/2000/2100 bands.

3G and LTE both use 900/1800 here, but we are using LTE on 2100 too, and 2G/3G utilizes the rest

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Breach1337:
Battery life

So the reason for my awful battery life (12-13 hours standby) is:

- When I'm on 3G/4G I have lots of msim_host wakelocks which are killing my battery. I understand this is because of fast dormancy - anything I can do about it?

- When I'm on WiFi at home I have lots of wlan_rx_wake wakelocks which are killing my battery - seems like an old problem - I tried setting a static IP, tweaked the beacon times of my router (Dlink DIR-655), etc. but no luck.

When I disable Mobile Data / WiFi all is great, but I do want push notifications for Gmail and Facebook Messenger so that's really a no go. For now I've set up Tasker to turn off all data during the night at least.

I've tried the stock CM12 kernel, Alucard's (1.0h) and GoogyMax's but it's the same story. Really frustrating... Ideas welcome...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HetsHumbucker:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sronweb:
In most of the cases if you just unplug the cable nothing happen but consider the risk that some file still remain open and might cause a corrupted file or the entire memory.

Then better use the "safely remove the hardware" option.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jstath1972:
I can manipulate the "high touch sensitivity" and almost every other function in my phone with the Device Control [root] app (from store) but not from my device settings. I can't manipulate the "touch screen hovering" function. Weird bug.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HetsHumbucker:
Tried that and i also can manipulate high touch sensitivity. I think the app needs an update to support the hover function setting...

Maybe I will try a completely clean flash later today...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] samkent6:
Cm12 is awesome but the battery drain is quite significant, hoping this will improve in the future nightlies
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] MetalPainis:
I just checked this once more, starting with having both options disabled:

1. Acivating "Touchscreen hovering" -> leaving the Settings -> Starting Browser (Chrome) ->Testing, Works!

2. Returning to Settings -> disabling "Touchscreen hovering" -> enabling "high touch sensitivity" -> leaving settings -> putting on a glove -> Testing, Works!

3. Removing glove -> returning to Settings -> activating "Touchscreen hovering" again, now having both enabled -> leaving settings -> returning to settings -> Result is: "high touch sensitivity" = disabled, "Tourchscreen hovering" = enabled (and working)

4. Testing it the other way around results in the opposite behavior as described under 3.

Bottom Line: Currently (for me) just one of those 2 options is available at the same time. No idea if it is intended that way though.

Remark: I can't and won't file a bug report about this, since I am not using the stock kernel.

---------- Post added at 18:12 ---------- Previous post was at 18:06 ----------

In my opinion there are three major differences:

- the official wears the default CM kernel and the unofficial wears the Alucard24's as already you said

- the official plays with EXT4 and the unofficial with F2FS or EXT4

- almost daily updates for the official with the latest fixes and adds

It's on you to decide which is fit most for your needs and taste.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nadejo:
To make things clear for pleople who keep asking about the difference between the official and the optimized cm. At the Moment the official build does support f2fs for data and cache! Only system needs ext4. And i am using 10.2.15 alucard kernel in the official cm12, got amazing battery life, performance, and use stock settings in stweaks. I can find no issues at all. The latest hover and touch sensitivity work with no problems even both on same time. I can only find issues in the optimized rom like broken wifi at clean install, hardwarebuttons have no vibrations and background processes crashing like DSP. Also i see no performance difference at all. The official build is more stable. If anyone cant find the latest alucard kernel, go to antaresones optimized cm thread on first page post#6 i provided a link. Basicly each time Antares creats an unofficial build we will be able to get the included alucard kernel aswell as it will be repacked by antaresone ore someone else for multiboot users.

So in one sentece. Official build has no system f2fs but almost daily rom updates and is more stabile.

And just to remind ppl. Hoveractions will trigger the touchboost aswell. And its nothing new . there is even a APP for hover controlls on playstore since years and it was working with cm12 and cm11 and any other rooted Rom :)

Have you tried Camera FV-5? I think it takes better pictures than the Google camera, and there's more settings than Google camera for better control.

(Plus it's got extras like volume down to focus and volume up to focus then capture)
