Welcome to XDA.

There is no obligation to post anything here.

But to inform yourself about how to root in case you want to try it as this should not be underestimated at the first time. There are tons of information and videos about rooting S4.

In case you want to install another Rom and if you choose this Rom, what would be a excellent choice, read the OP (first post) and the posts thereafter. In case of questions search for answers. New problems can be addressed here anytime.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] azuziel:
Luckily for you xda has a ton of guides. Use Google and search for things like "flash a modem with Odin xda" and "root guide lollipop i337m or your model". Apn is the data address for your carrier. Again, Google apn for carrier name . And welcome.

so all of you that have bluettoth share fc , do what I did.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] N!KE26:
Does bluetooth work yet, can’t wait to flash?

Edit. Got the answer it works.... Flashing!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nadejo:
Just dirty flashed the update and all is flawless, will provide a 5.1 experience vidoe soon.

Antares you cant imagine how thankfull i am. Will buy the s6 soon and hope there will be developers who put as much effort in thair work as you do famm :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] BakedTator:
Having one issue...anytime I send a text...nothing happens...it don't even show the bubble with my text in it...just nothing...other than that, everything seems to work perfectly! I think I'll hold off for the next build though...make sure texting works ;) great job man...you make magic
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AntaresOne:
Install Google Messenger, should solve your issue :)

Maybe in a near future I'll buy a S6 to develop (only if I get some money hehe), by the way thank you for the video
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chibbo:
texting works as intended here

only bug I found so far is that you cannot unlink notification and ring volume. the toggle works but they stay linked

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] VanGolfer:
1, Google messenger can receive but can't send, even no bubble after click send. But tried google hangouts, receive/send all working. 2, Ringtones only works on sdcard, not working if on external SDcard. 3, When plugged, USB or power cable, you can not power on after power off, might be kernel issue.

Everything else is very good so far, very fast and smooth! Great efforts and big thanks @ AntaresOne
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] BakedTator:

Stock works here
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] BakedTator:
Stock is working for me but...I had a random reboot while installing a theme and working with Bluetooth! I'm going to try and reproduce it so o can give more info...all I do know for sire is it got really laggy and then froze up...after that, it rebooted on it own...jflteusc
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AntaresOne:
Mate, this is how RIL blobs are currently distributed:

GT-I9505/G, GT-I9507, GT-I9508, SGH-I337/M, SGH-M919 - GSM RIL blobs -> no radio issues reported

SCH-I545 - VZW (Verizon) CDMA RIL blobs -> no radio issues reported

SCH-R970 - USC (US Cellular) CDMA RIL blobs -> radio issues reported

SPH-L720 - CDMA RIL blobs -> no radio issues reported

Yours is a jflteusc, so a R970... maybe my RIL blobs aren't good :( I should try to take them from the latest stock ROM available...

For random reboot I think it's something related to Theme Engine, remember errors in 5.0.2? Keep in mind that in 5.1 there are hundreds of new commits and not all the themes are fully working with it at the moment
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Ludespeed:
Sent messages from mightytext web app on pc aren't showing on phone and I get a random reboot every couple of hours; going back to Antares 5.0.2 for now :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] BakedTator:
I don't want to say its the ril making google messenger not work. Stock MMS works and so does hangouts...I can get by on those just fine while you work kinks out of the code...no rush at all...the ROM is super smooth and stable (just the one random reboot). So take your time my friend.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] blackmeth:
I was getting intermittent SMS send/receive errors myself using ND1 radio

I corrected it by manually installing evolvesms and setting the apns manually inside it with the presets.

Is by working or still broken?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bodoma:
This issue is still persisting in the latest update. Whatsapp voice notes come out really low, and in fact they cut off before the note is done playing. And in general the mic seems low. I tried recording sound using my recorder app and the volume was way too quiet.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] azuziel:
I noticed it with streaming Bluetooth as well. Maybe half the max volume I'm accustomed to.

BT Share FC...

For who is having BT Share FC, I experimented a trick by preparing and updating a 9505 of a friend.

If I install clean ROM + GAPPS, the BT was not working and FC come constantly (tested 2 times).

I changed the sequence:

1) First install ROM

2) Reboot and set the account

3) Checked the functionality (all perfect and no FC)

4) Reboot to recovery and flash Gapps

5) Reboot... all working and no FC

Waiting next build (that will have some modifications to fix permanently also this stuff), who has this, can try to follow my sequence. Hope it help.

First time CM try

Hi guys. I've never flashed a CM ROM and I'm thinking to try this. I see there are v.11, v.12, v12.1 builds. Is there any gathered info in any post to read about CM versions and decide which one is better for me?

I'm actually looking for a stable build and coming from TW official builds I'm not satisfied with performance and stability (delays, lags) but I need a daily driver so I need to decide which one is better.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jstath1972:
I think that he means the CM account in the first boot setup.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] android_patrizian:
[MENTION=4868489]Bodoma[/MENTION]

No problem with Whatsapp volume (in or outbound). Neither I can confirm messages been cut.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jstath1972:
I don't know any post with gathered info about the differences of CM versions. You can search them in google ;).

As for this rom i can say that it's a piece of art. For me the performance and stability are awesome. This rom is fast like lightning and smooth like the butter :D. I haven't seen any serious bug to make me to jump to another rom. Try it and you will see.

Btw TW official :confused: No way... :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] andreasy:
Thanks for answering. Something tells me that I may become like you and never return to TW.

Where would you advice me to start from if I'm looking for something reliable without issues? this one or v11 or 12?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] android_patrizian:
It's sufficient to raise the gain by a few points. For me from 40 to 45. More causes a horrible sound and may demage the speakers. Volume control in apps is not been effected.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jstath1972:
This one (CM12.1) is under development but like i said it's fast and smooth.CM12 is fast and smooth to but not like the 12.1 and with no updates. CM11 is old but for some users the most steady. I advice you to start and stick with this one (CM12.1) dude.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] andreasy:
That's exactly what I wanted to hear. :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] android_patrizian:
Read the first and the most recent post of the relevant ROMs to get an impression about issues and problems and of cause the features.

CM 12.x uses latest android versions and is more likely to be developed in the future than CM 11 that will die out.

IMHO there is only one reason still to stay with older versions: XPosed. For Lollipop it's still alpha and not all modules are working. If Xposed is not important for you or your modules are running (there is a dedicated thread on XDA to find that out) than I would highly recommend to use CM 12.x The specific Rom depends on the features you like. This one is reliable, stable and battery friendly and had great developers.

More time you should invest in how to flash ROMs and the necessary preparations. It's not difficult but also not to underestimate at the first time.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mariosp89:
[MENTION=242157]andreasy[/MENTION] as mentioned before, I think that this is the first ROM you should try (and probably the last). CM 11 is based in Android 4.4 I think, CM 12 in Android 5.0.2 and CM 12.1 in Android 5.1.1. This ROM gets updated regularly and has excellent developers. It is really stable and fast and your phone is going to be like new. The only problem with (all) CM ROMs is some camera bugs but you can download another app from store. It's unbelievably how much better than (stock) TW it is. You are gonna love it and use it as daily ROM without a doubt.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] andreasy:
While waiting for my backup to complete, I want to ask a few questions for clarification:

1) I use Philz recovery 6.57.9. Am I ok or do I need to go to TWRP?

2) I currently use Nova launcher. Does CM have any proprietary lawncher better than Nova or will I keep mine for CM?

3) Should I also format my external SD card with F2FS for better performance or better leave it only for the internal memory? (Doing that, I assume will not let me read my card from Windows later I assume, correct?)

4) If I want to return to my old TW ROM, I just convert and format my partitions back to EXT4 and then restore my backup or do I need to change anything else, like modems, etc.?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] android_patrizian:
[MENTION=242157]andreasy[/MENTION]

Most questions have been answered here already:

2) It has. If you like it more, just find out. You can backup / restore your launcher settings as well and can have installed more than one launcher.

3) No. Recommended only if you use Linux.

4) To return to old TW ROM just convert and format partitions back to EXT4 and then restore backup. Yes.

But formating /system to F2FS is not necessary. The read speed is inferior to EXT4, so you can leave the partions as they are.

*** Galaxy S4 with Tapatalk ***
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] andreasy:
Thanks. So for F2FS you recommend I convert all partitions except system (Cache, Data, Internal memory)?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mariosp89:
Currently I have converted /system /cache and /data. If you leave system as ext4 (for higher read speeds, what you need for system) then format only data and cache.

Also a lot of people suggest using TWRP. In the first page of the thread you will find a link for TWRP 2.8.6.0 with F2FS support which probably is a good switch to make from philz.

And finally you shouldn't forget to check what Gapps you are gonna use. Personally I'd suggest Slim Gapps or TK gapps instead of Cm ones.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rar9:
QUESTION is there a way to support Samsungs Smart View Case?

Or where do I find the settings to display TIME /Message Audio while cover is closed?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] andreasy:
Unfortunately you can't leave system as ext4. Bluetooth share crashes all the time that way and wifi causes issues (appears with ! and disappears, toggles on/off) so I re-wiped to full F2FS to fix it as seen in other posts.

So far I got a settings crash once and Greek language was automatically selected although I selected English/US. I don't know from where it got that but I'll chnage it later

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

Are there any significant advantages of Trebuchet over Nova launcher or should I just use my Nova which is already set up from my backups?

Whatsapp sound bug

Same problem. Seems the BT pauses until the whatsapp msg is delivered and then sound returns. In Pandora not only does it pause the song but when the music returns it skips to the next song.

Personal preference really. I use Nova and for me it's the best feature rich launcher around :)

Am I missing something related to SuperSU and CM? I tried to open SuperSU, got notification of binaries update but it failed and I lost root. Is there something different in CM in regards to this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jd1001:
Make sure root is enabled in developer options
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
CM12.1 has its own built-in root, enabled through Developer Options and controlled using Privacy Guard. Depending on how you installed SuperSU, the built-in root may have denied you access. Install SuperSU via recovery to bypass this, or as the previous poster mentioned, enable root in the Developer Options for SuperSU.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] android_patrizian:
No. The contrary. Leave everything as it is. No need to format F2FS.

For the bugs mentioned above exists a fix that can be downloaded from the OTA update app.

Could anyone post battery life screens?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lennyz1988:
I have noticed a quite anoying bug.

How to replicate:

1. Plug in your headphone.

2. Play a song on Spotify.

3. Type a message on Whatsapp and press send.

My device will start to lag, the music will stop playing and when I continue to chat on Whatsapp my device will hang and restart.

I attached a logcat. I hope I captured it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] baldmosher:
No battery screens but it was still at 92% when I left work at 5pm. Amazing. Usually down to 65% ish

Also Nova Launcher is unbeatable.

Also, no FCs since I patched Kryten's zip 2 days ago.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ebfortin:
I find something a bit strange and would like opinion of fellow developers. For some time I experienced lag with this ROM. Thats one of the reason I decided to go try sabermod cm12. Which experienced lag as well. So there I am again. First time I install the last build same damn lag. And then after some day none. Question : is there an adaptive mechanism in the kernel? I cant find any so who knows. And what about ART? Any learning mechanism we know of?

I also installed the play services patch. Lag stopped around that time. Any possible link?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] juju2011:
Lower it back to stock and reboot
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] saphirrot:
Almost same problem, but slightly different :

1. Plug in your headphone.

2. Play a song on Music ( com.cyanogenmod.elven)

3. Write a message on Whatsapp

4. Song stops playing, popup message appears, that the current song could not be played and skips to the next one.

Current Solution

Whatsapp -> Settings -> Notifications -> Message tone -> untick the box !
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] juju2011:
I had that as well, also check if nuplayer is enabled in Dev options. it was for me and when I disabled it even with WhatsApp in app sounds on my phone didn't lag or screw up music play back on headphones with shuttle+. using awesome player fixed this prob for me

Current Best Launcher

Recently, i've seen fixes of Trebuchet Launcher, so considering the updated trebuchet,

.

Which Launcher is the Current Best ? For Any ROM (Stock / Custom) ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] todivefor:
SPH-l720 (Sprint). Compass and sensors (at least proximity) seem to be working. However, this all worked for me before.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] smeroni68:
You do a general control on all sensors?

The compass is working correctly also rotating the phone? Sorry for stupid questions, but is to be sure about it.

I am not sure what you are asking. Compass, I rotated on 3 axis. It ends up mostly accurate NWSE are generally correct. I wouldn't count on it if lost in the woods, [emoji6] but looks pretty accurate. I am not sure how to test other sensors. I use phone tester app. Proximity sensor goes near/far when I wave my hand over (gravity screen works). The other sensor tests, I have no idea what they mean.

I tried this rom but I'm sadly returning to stock given I have two problems...

First, the device overheats massively, and very fast. But maybe that could be kernel related.

Second, I have a constante wakelock, even after wipes: "PowerManagementService.Display". Not the usual "wakelock" one. Google and own personal tests haven't been able to help me on it.

Otherwise, really fast rom!
