Can you confirm for me if there are any buzzing sounds while playing music on this rom with headphones plugged in. I had bad experiences with Spotify, Poweramp, and Google Play Music with Joe Tech's rom and was wondering if anyone else had these problems.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] bobbylx:
Was using PureNexus before and now the NH3 SuperNexus. Play music through it everyday and have yet to hear a buzz or audio defect. Mostly use Google Play Music but did use the Poweramp demo.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] rockinwaggy:
I hear the occasional audio defect. Not often enough to bug me. I always listened through Spotify. Youtube, I can't recall any.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] fuel426:
Using neutron music player, apollo and Google music, didn't get any buzz or weird sound.

Can I flash this on the 9295?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Devo7v:
No, as stated in the OP this is for the i537. Since you have the i9295 you should use a ROM meant for your phone.

How's the battery life been? Good enough for a daily driver?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] fuel426:
Make this question in the Q&A thread. I'll share my experience with this.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] ChristopherXDA:
To answer my own question, I clean installed and without installing any apps I lost 30% overnight with location services (GPS) off. This rom is slick but there must be some pretty serious wakelocks.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] bobbylx:
Battery life is pretty good for me. I'm running xposed with amplify and gravity box. Long battery life and no ghost vibrations.

Is your speaker phone working on calls?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] bobbylx:
I have no idea. I'll give it a try when I leave work.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] fuel426:
Battery life improves when "auto screen brightness" and "Samsung run time escaling crap" is disabled. Google camera works fine, speaker too, no other issues so far other than the battery drain.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] rockinwaggy:
So you're saying the speaker works in general or that speakerphone works properly? The issue with speakerphone, for me, is that the other end of the call doesn't hear anything when using speakerphone. Turn speakerphone off and it's back to normal.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] ChristopherXDA:
That's the problem I have too
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] fuel426:
Nope, not working, but it's a known issue, even has a fix, flashing a .zip.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
I can confirm the speakerphone fix is working. For those interested, it can be found in the OP of this thread, click to show content, it's the one second from the bottom that says

You just have to install in SafeStrap recovery, couldn't be easier. [MENTION=3305391]Joe-Tech[/MENTION] , on the slim chance you make another build (not meant as knock or anything, this rom is great and I'm utterly grateful) is there any way this fix could be built into the rom? Just a thought
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wolf45801:
I just downloaded it but it downloads as call record fix
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
It's OK that's what it's called. Trust me I flashed it, and then successfully called someone on speaker phone, it works

deep sleep

anyone know how to make the rom deeps sleep?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] palu:
Hi, I just installed this rom. I noticed a few issues: My wifi is stuck on turning on.

Does any body know how to fix this?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] ChristopherXDA:
Go to reboot and do a hot reboot. That would solve this issue for me.

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ----------

I tried a number of different things and none were successful. I'm reflashing as I speak because while this ROM has a lot of great features of AOSP, the battery life (due to no deep sleep), GPS, and some lesser issues with radio, wifi and rebooting has led me back to stock for now.

If you are new to this rom, be sure to flash the speakerphone fix. The other issues go unresolved.

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Joe-Tech:
Guys i will make another build, just don't have time right now, due to a death on the family. Where i am right now the internet is super slow. Will be back soon.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Did you flash gapps when you installed the ROM? Because if so that's unnecessary and could be behind your problem. Also, which stock build number did you come from, NE3 or NH3?

Oh my goodness, I am truly sorry to hear that. That is infinitely, indescribably more important than this, please do whatever you need. Family is important always, but especially in hard times like these. You owe us nothing and we owe you everything for finally bringing AOSP to our locked-down phones. Please accept my condolences and my continued gratitude for the wonderful work you've done for our device. I hope your family makes it through these sad times alright :(
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] palu:
NE3

---------- Post added at 02:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 AM ----------
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
That's your problem. This rom was designed to be flashed over NH3 only. The problems will persist until you either restore back to stock and update to NH3 (fairly straightforward), then reinstall this rom;

OR you could wipe, install this older version of the rom and if/when you install that one, you MUST flash this patch so that it will be compatible with NE3. You obviously also have to flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip as well with this too...

Up to you

Probably your best bet, it's the solution I would choose were I in your place. Just remember, using Odin to restore back to stock (easiest and maybe only method to do so) WILL erase all your saved data, files, media, etc. so do a backup (or multiple backups if you want) before trying this
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] jason39828:
dumb question

sorry, but im new to s4a and haven't dealt with safestrap since my early droid days. this is my first attempt to add a rom and the way ni always remembered was you didn't touch stock. so am flashing to a slot or to the stock slot?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Make a nandroid backup and then flash to stock slot, making more slots eats up too much space imho.

Edit: Also, I don't know about the most recent version of SafeStrap, but rom slots have always been buggy at best for this phone
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] jason39828:
thanks

thanks for a quick response, i did a back up and then restored it to rom slot one just to test the slot and had no issues with function but as you said took up all my memory...i just hate the idea of of having to reflash this thing if i screw up....but nothing ventured
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] jroq8400:
Slot 1 works in safestrap 3.75. Only quirk is shutdown and reboot get stuck and you need to reset

Bugs Noted

So I've been running this as a daily driver for about a week. These are the big issues I'm noticing:

-Wifi occasionally won't start, but that is well documented and easy to fix.

-Portable hotspot doesn't seem to work. My laptop can't see the network that is being set up by the phone. This is somewhat surprising. It worked fine before on Stock.

-My biggest gripe is that MTP isn't working at all. I can connect the phone and the phone says it is connected by MTP, but the computer doesn't see it. It's almost as if it isn't connected at all. Really not sure what to do about this. When I was on stock, MTP worked fine on both of my computers. Now it won't work on either.

-Images and thumbnails get messed up - This one is a bit of a mystery. I transfer photo files by bluetooth, which seems to work well, but only a few of the transferred images will actually open on the phone. Some transferred images even crash the gallery app. When I look at the same image on the computer (after the transfer) it looks fine. Somewhere something is happening that keeps the image from being viewed by the phone properly. I've also had this issue when I turn the phone off, mount the micro sd card to my computer, transfer images, and then try to open them when the phone is back on. Some work and some don't. It's doesn't seem to be a size issue, although I suspect that has something to do with it, because I transfer 20MP photos direct from my camera via wifi and those open fine. ???

Anyone else experiencing anything similar to these issues? Suggested fixes? Otherwise this is an awesome rom. I really like the AOSP experience and I'm sooo glad to be rid of the Samsung & ATT bloat.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
I hadn't even noticed MTP wasn't working because I stopped using it a long while ago (well before this rom or even having this device) to transfer files to my phone. I would recommend ES File Explorer, the smb option allows you to easily transfer files to or from any computer on your Wi-Fi network and works really well for files like pictures and documents, I even use it for smaller video files. There's also an option to enable folders for cloud storage (eg. dropbox, onedrive, google drive, etc) so if you use any of those services, you can easily access/copy/transfer/open/edit files all in one app. Plus it can be configured to be a root explorer.

As far as the issue with the micro sd, just to make sure, you are pulling it out of the phone, correct? Have you tried using a different adapter to connect it to your PC (such as micro sd to sd versus micro sd to USB)?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] BarchDaddy:
I can't use Wifi transfer at work where the wifi is locked against personal devices. That is why I was using bluetooth when MTP quit working. MTP for me was by far the faster method. Your wifi method would work well at home. I already use ES File Explorer.

I'm not having an issue with the SD card. The card works fine. I'm having an issue with the device reading images, whether on internal storage or on the SD card. I haven't figured out what the common denominator is that is causing the images to not work.

- transferred from wifi by camera works 100%

- transferred from computer by bluetooth = 25% will open

- transferred from computer by micro sd card direct write = 50% will open.

It's two different computers too, so I'm not even singling out that. It's really frustrating, because images are one of the number one things I use the phone for.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] bobbylx:
Can't help with the thumbnail issue but for mounting just using Multi-Mount Lite. It only mounts the ext SDcard, but works every time for me..
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Joe-Tech:
[MENTION=4807440]BarchDaddy[/MENTION] these problems that you just mentioned are some known issues in the OP. MTP will not mount unless use the app in op ( will only mount SD card), wifi will required an hot boot each time you restart or completely shutdown your device, Wifi Tether not working, all these issues is cause safestrap won't let us flash any custom kernel.

For the images issue, i don't have any of them, i will suggest to clean install, make sure you wipe everything, except sd card. Do not restore any apps data using TB or any other backup apps.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Joe-Tech:
Guys i just got a used S4 active on ebay, coming soon this week. Development will resume:p:good:

Holy crap that's awesome!!! Thank you so much, you are seriously the man
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] rockinwaggy:
Very nice to hear! I'm always open to testing. It's not my primary device, so no worries with downtime.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] BarchDaddy:
Well nice to know I'm not crazy. For the image issue, my install was clean, with double wipe as instructed and still the weird issue. I will try to reinstall.

Also, thanks for resuming development. I look forward to more of your contributions.

All the best,

Hey joe, lollipop for i537 has been released. now you have the Lolliopo kernel. Start developing :D

Wait what 5.0 for i537? You sure?

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] BarchDaddy:
I used this method to get official Lollipop and keep root, but I'm already missing some of the AOSP features. On the bright side, all my issues went away. I would love to test another rendition of this AOSP version built on the new kernel, if it gets built. I know you're busy.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
I hear ya. I tried to modify one of the A.T.&T. regular S4 AOSP 5.0 roms to install with FlashFire but got nowhere for a bunch of reasons (aroma, updater-script, I don't know what I'm doing, etc.). It might not even be possible yet, some people say FF can't do AOSP roms yet, idk how valid that is, but I haven't seen anything concrete on that either way. Maybe I'll give it another shot but I'm the wrong person to ask lol I'm just a novice. I know I'm not the only one working on this, mateo121212 already ported goldeneye (a touchwiz rom, but still, excellent job on his part) but it seems like something's not quite there yet for the AOSP rom(s). Someone smarter than me could probably give you much better info.

Uninteresting update: I finally was able to stitch together an updater-script that ran through FF correctly, unfortunately (though unsurprisingly) I got stuck in bootloop. I'll try the other version but I expect the same results. :(

Anyone know if we can install Joe's latest ROM from April 17th? (The pure nexus one) onto our s4 actives? I mean it has worked before from previous versions. Just wondering if anyone has tried.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Only about a couple dozen time lol. I never even got a boot animation, just plain black screen after the "Galaxy S4 Active" logo screen. Go ahead and try it if you don't believe me, just don't be surprised when you have to Odin back to stock

Oops sorry I assumed you were talking about a 5.0.1 GPE rom. April 17th should work, just make sure you have the masterpatch v3 (the one for NH3) and the most current SuperSU update.zip. As I just implied, you can't flash a 4.4.4 rom coming from lollipop, so make sure you don't do that.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] namitutonka:
[MENTION=5954417]thisisapoorusernamechoice[/MENTION], I'm on rooted NH3 on my i537 without plans for ANY change, though always keeping tabs on improvements (ROMs, SafeStrap, xposed, OC6 5.0.1, etc.) ES File Explorer has always been a favorite, and my thanks to you for mentioning the SMB option, of which I was never aware. MTP was always a must have until now. :good: I still want to keep Xposed and SafeStrap, which are the main reasons for holding off any phone changes.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Good stuff, your points are completely valid and I'm glad you enjoyed that tip on the smb feature, I remember being thrilled, it felt like the shackles being lifted. :good:

For anyone on OC6 looking for a frustrating project, Joe's work on a Pure Nexus/Google Edition-type rom for 5.0.x (lollipop) can be found here. CAUTION: At best you're only going to get a bootloop. Joe said he got it booting on his regular S4 but a bunch of the others on that thread could not duplicate this (pp 202-207). So don't flash this without a backup and knowing how to recover from a softbrick. But if you know how to take logcats in a bootloop (I tried but could not even get adb to detect my phone) maybe you can shed some light on what needs to be fixed.

Edit: If you do try this - and again, it's a bootloop at best - according to Joe you should flash the stock partitions file in FlashFire before the rom (i.e. the order should be wipe everything except internal storage, partitions file, rom, everroot disabled, normal reboot). muniz_ri made the partitions file and I can confirm it's in working order

So at the moment there isn't no GPE L for the active/I537 then?

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Sadly no. The crux of the matter is that it bootloops on the first boot, and I can't seem to find a way to get adb to connect for a logcat, so I can't really know what's going wrong. If you or anyone has any ideas (no matter how seemingly far-fetched), I'm all ears. I would love to get GPE L going for our phone.

Just bought a T-Mobile S4 variant so I can use it for a daily driver with Cyanogen mod running AT&T. Honestly I don't think the s4 active is going anywhere with our locked bootloaders, and with the development of stock android lollipop on hault, I am growing impatient each and every day. On top of that, I just love the overall look and feel of stock android, so I am making the switch. Overall I learned that buying AT&T and Verizon phones are absolute **** because they limit our ability to do anything fun such as install custom recoveries, Roms, kernels etc. I advise everyone who do want to have the ability to do the things mentioned above is to get either the international variants (which don't cover 4g LTE on AT&T and T-Mobile) or the T-Mobile/Sprint variants( which do cover 4g LTE) of the s4 or the OnePlusOne/Nexus5-6. /rant

Lollipop on Sprint Galaxy SIII (3) - Candy5

*

-I have been trying out many ROMS the past couple of weeks. This ROM is my favorite!

-I needed "VivaVideo" for video (it works flawlessly) and "CamaraZOOM FX" for camera (it works most of the time). Another TIP on the camera. Remove any sub-folders under DCIM. This helped for sure.

-It is fast and stable.

-Battery runs down by midday, but that might be simply because I am on it more.

I have one outstanding issue... When I go to "Settings", "Candy Interface" and then "Buttons" I get "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped".

Anyone having the same issue and if so, how do I fix it?
