A small Q, if I may...

Backing up with Titanium user apps & data will preserve characteristics of f2fs?

Sometimes I wonder if i have data and cache as ext4 and restore a backup with TB when apps data were stored on data as f2fs will brake functionality of rom. Never tried so far.

All I know is that are problems when restoring a nandroid backup made as ext4 on a f2fs partition.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] drrossum:
Nope, restoring a TB backup will just write to your filesystem, not reformat it.

Hey, luke1513, which version of gapps are you using? I initially used opengapps - aroma installer. Last time I flashed opengapps nano as everyone recommends and I'm 1 1/2 days into no touchscreen problems...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] luke1513:
Hello, i'm using opengapps micro why? Did you find any solution for unresponsive touchscreen?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Snow_ball:
I don't know. I just know that so far the touchscreen has not locked up again (after a day and a half). Last time I dirty flashed the latest optimized CM, open gapps nano and SU. On the suspicion that whatever crashes the touchscreen is in the gapps package. Might be completely off, just thought I check with you which gapps you are using. Looks like we are the only ones with occasionally freezing touchscreens (about a day after flashing).

It's been two times now (in the last week) that my phone got stuck with a pink screen. Doing nothing special, today I was just writing a SMS with the default SMS app. Unfortunately I can't provide any log since I have to pull the battery off/on to restart the phone. But if you have any suggestion...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] luke1513:
Yes, i don't think anyone has this problem. Mine seemed to have stopped too. It happened only one time today i think, compared to the first day where it happened over 6 times. If it will continue to both i'm sure we can find a solution, and if not, probably someone else will know. Cheers!

I backed up my user apps and data with Titanium coming from ext4. I converted data and cache to f2fs and restored the user apps and data with titanium. I haven't had any problems relating to apps or data being lost.

After some days using the last build, I can say that it's amasing... Great battery life, smooth and stable. Talkin about audio issues, I noticed some "zzzz" only onde time when the 1st music starts, after no more like before.. Even with some changes in stweaks (UC, UV, etc).. The only diferent thing that I did was change I/O governor to FIOPS (instead SIO that I used) and read-ahead to 2048k for both storages.

My battery life for now

My congrats to JDCTeam to maintain our good old S4 alive

Dirty flashed with open gapps stock, and only bug I have is that I can not update/activate adblock in stweaks...[emoji106]

Hi,

Just tried to install new build.

Clean install, Gapps Micro, Bluetooth sharing issue. (Wasn't a problem for me on the previous build) Tried again, same problem. Reverting to backup and await the next update I guess. :(

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] supermedo:
So I just installed the ROM, and so far it's pretty good. But all my media files were deleted, which doesn't normally happen when I install a new ROM. It's because of the f2fs formatting, right?

Anyway, is there possibly anyway I can restore them? I didn't do a nandroid backup unfortunately, only Titanium.

I got the launcher straightened out, thanks.

I have tried reading about the kernel balance thing (STweaks, right?) but always getting a bit confused by the conversation. I'll poke around some more.

My baseband is I9505XXUHOF2. Maybe find H2 somewhere and upgrade? Does anything else have to be upgraded if you upgrade the baseband? I don't think so...

I already knew that. Just asking if it's possible, I would like to have a softer blink and highest brightness.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] .Ejekt:
Wow. Just wow. Now that I managed to get things stable, the latest iteration of this ROM is simply fantastic. Noticeably more responsive and snappy than the last build. Boot times are considerably faster as well. I'm seriously impressed and thankful. I can see myself using this build for a while. I still have a lot of testing to do, but as of now this is the best my S4 has ever been.

It's a bug in the cm12.1 repository, not JDC team's fault. They know about it and are going to fix it in the next release.

Why don't you use better battery stats to figure out what is using battery? Also wakelock detector. Not sure how anyone could figure it out with the info you've provided.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FernBch:
When you change the format to f2fs it reformats (wipes) the partition. Since the format has changed you may not be able to recover any files but you can try one of the suggested apps.

There are settings in STweaks to change the fade in/out settings.

It is a cm bug. I had it on the official builds.

I think you're wrong, it seems like it only happens with Alucard kernel, flashing a different kernel makes the buttons inactive as soon as the power key is pressed

All of you guys claiming talking about battery life please read this article from [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]:

http://elementalx.org/the-truth-about-kernels-and-battery-life/

It's a very good read and it's very informative

~99.99999999999% of the variation in battery life is related to you and you alone: wakelocks in apps YOU are using, Battery Draining Settings like High Accuracy GPS, High Screen Brightness, etc.

It has very little to do with the ROM/Kernel a lot of the time and more to do with your usage.

Not trying to say changes in kernel can't cause it, but a lot more of userspace stuff can cause it than kernel space stuff
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] droidblitz:
But what about when i did the stress test playing with cm12.1 nightly ( clash of clans )

My battery tends to drop faster. Not like with touch wiz right off the bat i can get 3hrs 25mins ( average ) thats a straight usage 100-1% screen is on all the time.

Note:

No tweaks or whatsoever, both rom had battery saving mode ON.

Basically what i did was.

Flash rom ( clean install )

Download coc from play store.

Let my s4 settle down, while charging it till 100% ( used DU battery app for the so called trickle charging when it hits 100% )

And from that point on open COC and play it till 1%

Lowest brightness possible.

Airplane mode only wifi is ON.

No other apps besides gapps no syncing activity ( all turned OFF )

Cm12.1 = it can roughly go pass 3hrs ( most of the time 2hrs 30mins )

TW = 3hrs and sometimes go 4hrs SCreentime.

Plus the temp with cm12.1 is noticeably higher and the phone heats up a lot faster...

I dont do battery calibration anymore.

If you want i can document it and test it again. :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] audianer:
Hey guys!

How works the stable v3?

very important to me is :

-Performance at games - no laggs etc!

-Good battery life at sleep

-GPS

-All have to run very smooth, no stuttering and so on

-Bluetooth audio streaming

-Stable!!! no freeze and so on

Any bugs? At the moment, i´m happy with the nightly and think about switch to the optimized again.

same here....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] javelinanddart:
You at least are trying to control the variables here. And Samsung can add Battery Saving stuff elsewhere, whereas cm has to be more generic about it. Furthermore, which performs better in "Power Saving Mode"? Maybe CM's is tuned for a little more performance. Also have you tried official CM Nightlies or just Opt CM in this testing?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] droidblitz:
basically been testing out every cm12.1 based rom's out there.

even with cm12.1 running on battery saving mode its still the same couldn't get 4hrs SOT with my usage pattern, not like in TW rom once you tick powersaving mode it can go easy 4hrs SOT that with heavy gaming ( as to what is my usage pattern )

but all i can say is with TW yup theres some delays opening some apps ( occasionally ) specially with recent apps window.

On the other hand Cm12.1 is no doubt faster in everything :D

My setup for testing:

TW = all default / No power saving mode whatsoever no tweaks ( stock samsung rom for s4 )

CM12.1 = Have been testing whenever theres a new update for a particular rom, like this one and AOSP, sabermod, slimsaber etc..

all default / No power saving mode whatsoever no tweak, kernel side all default..

will run both for a couple of days, will do the normal stuff, play music, sms, calls, fb, chat and play COC.

TW (No powersaving mode) = straight up with a good battery 3hrs no doubt

cm12.1 (No powersaving mode) = 2hrs-2hrs45mins + it heats a lot faster. You need to take a break for the phone to settle down again. :D

and with powersaving mode and a couple of tweaks ( Lspeed ) diabling animation, dark wallpaper and airplane mode ( WiFi ON )

TW Screentime can go over 4-5hrs with my usage pattern

2600mah = 4-5hrs SOT it can go 5hrs ++ with light usage. I have seen people posting 6hrs SOT somewhere here in XDA

7500mah = 13-15hrs SOT

CM12.1 not a big of a difference, once i touch something in kernel side ( stweaks ) things tend to slow down and lag.

2600mah = 3hrs 45mins TOPs

7500mah = 7-8hrs...

On standby both rom's performs well

i use greenify with both, and as long as there is no wakelocks standby time is awesome,

specially with LSpeed tweak. :D

The real story is when you play with your phone :D

Maybe its because of Samsung DVFS?

I remembered disabling DVFS in TW rom everything was fast specially when playing heavy games. But it heats up faster, more heat = faster battery drain while playing.

[MENTION=2836664]a103[/MENTION] yeah all day i will pick cm12.1 or AOSP, basically i hate TW itself, but for now i will be sticking to it because i get a lot more screentime and standby with it and occasionally switch to an updated version of cm12.1 or AOSP :D

and if the JDCTeam's upcoming Android M Aosp build comes and it has multi window i'd probably jump right over it :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FernBch:
Have you tried adjusting anything in STweaks? I have undervolted, changed governors, etc. And have played a couple games for extended periods without issues. Under gaming/heavy use I have seen 3 to 3-1/2 hrs SOT regularly. Granted overall battery life is much shorter. Under normal usage (non gaming) I average anywhere from 16 to over 20 hours with decent SOT as well.

As for AOSP coming on the M build it most likely will not happen in the immediate future. Many things still need to be made functional before even having an Alpha release. There is no ETA but it is moving forward.

Regarding the android m aosp build. Im not really looking forward to it since i know it will take time. So not really expecting anything right now.

I just said if it ever comes and it comes with multi window id jump right into it.

But at the same time my s4 might be sold by that time and just get moto g or 5x or oneplus x :D

Hi,

Which radio should I be using with the latest build? I've got a GT-I9505 variant and am in the UK if it makes a difference. I ask because I will lose signal/data and be unable to regain signal/data without a reboot. I am currently running baseband version I9505XXUEMK9. Thanks :)
