Bluetooth is crashing

Despite I'm installing weekly the latest nightly version of CyanogenMod 12.1 (current version 20150609), bluetooth works increasingly worse.

In the previous versions only worked after a (fast) restart, and crashed after 1-2 connections/disconnections to the car device. In this latest version is crashing in the first connection, even of the phone has just been restarted.

Is the any chance to fix this? maybe flashing any compatible Lollipop 5.1.1. modem after the CM12 ROM flash?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
I know this is not the place to talk about XPosed. I don't want support here, but, if it's not a crime, can anyone say if the latest alpha is working with our ROM? I tested two installations from scratch (wiping everything) and xposed-sdk22-arm-20150514.zip is not working.

Is it working for anyone? If so, I'll try to troubleshoot, if not, I'll wait. Thanks.

The latest lollipop modem (that works and im using it) is here, the top one

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50965837&postcount=2627

It works for me, but i had to do a dirty flash of gapps.

Hope I helped :3
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
Thanks. I'm using Minimal Gapps (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56820635&postcount=1). Could this be the problem?

Which other version should I use?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] _Bon_Bon:
Im using the same gapps, so thats not the problem. There is a posibility that your phone, for a some reason, just isnt compatiple with it yet.

How is it not working?

Some apps are not updated to lollipop xposed, so they keep crashing your phone if you enable them

Hope I helped :3

hello everyone ,

i want to try this rom , i ve used official cm12.1 , but i have a lot of problems with camera , mostly when using whatsapp and want to send a pic, camera app crashes , or says cant connect to camera ,

is this problem present here , or is it just me .

thank you in advance for any response ,

have a nice day :o
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Soufiansky:
I think you had a gapps issue in CM12.1

Try this ROM you won't regret it ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] orgert:
i ll get the gapps from OP , lets see how is going , thank you :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] measel:
Xposed was working for me BUT: I had many other different problems and I'm not sure if it was related to Xposed. I used Xprivacy with Xposed and it worked.

BTW: Could people please stop recommending to "let the rom settle for a period of time"? Or at least explain why that should help?!

If a problem isn't solved in a couple of minutes (maybe for rebuilding caches or something) then there is something terribly wrong and to wait a day or two will not solve the problem!

Sorry but I keep reading this all over the place and I don't think that will help anyone. @AntaresOne maybe a dev could shed some light.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Specht77:
I use this ROM for a long time, and I can tell you, the worse part of it is the camera, I also have loads of problems of camera app crashing, unable to connect to camera, freezes, etc...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] orgert:
i installed the rom , but unfortunately whatsapp keeps crashing when trying to send a pic , its the same as in official cm 12.1 :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] android_patrizian:
I use this ROM since its first days and I haven't had any of the problems mentioned in this thread. BT, GPS, YouTube, Whatsapp, Calls, Proximity, XPosed (new test version of today) => everything is working without problems and battery life is very good.

Camera crashed on previous versions (after taking few fotos, changing between front and rear cam and HDR) and is poor of features. Therefore I use Snap-Cam. But I just tested the included cam of this version and it works without any problems. Anyway a very basic cam but can be easily replaced by a better app. [emoji106]
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mdcool:
Well, I can try to explain. There are at least 1 explaination, which is quite valid for me: Mediaserver.

I have lots of old photo/video/audio files on my 64GB MicroSD. Every time I install a rom, mediaserver starts analyzing them, rebuilding thumbnails etc. Sometimes phone is warm, sometimes not. But I have a load average 2%+ during first hours after each install (see Settings - Developer options - Show cpu usage). Cause of this I never get more than 2h SOT on first charge after installing a new system.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] measel:
Very true and I forgot about that but 1-2 DAYS?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mdcool:
Just a "why not". Sometimes second day matters too, while I keep restoring all my software and setting up everything else. I took as a rule to tolerate these 1.5-2 days before starting any complaining about battery life of a rom. Thus I am completely sure mediaserver did his job, TiBa restored anything, all apps were started at least once and all the services/alarms/wakelocks works just the way they are designed to work, I do my usual daily routine, and this current battery drain is/isn't caused by rom.

Same happened with my just-bought S6: I didn't reach 4h SOT on first 2 charges cause of setting everything up and checking for stability issues. Stock rom, no root.

BTW, [MENTION=5464206]AntaresOne[/MENTION], you rule! Thanks. 2W37******443394F.

Clean flash ? ( Full wipe ? )
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Spud37:
Anyone experience any slowness on this ROM? I'm actually about to try and re flash but first converting everything to F2FS see if that makes a difference.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] KusakaKyo:
It lags too often for me too, sometimes i dont even have apps opened and it lags, also it takes too much time to wakr up from lock screen :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ahoslc:
try turning ambient display off and see if that wakes screen faster!

Where do I find the loki tool within the ROM? I just need to know how to install the recovery, i tried with the command in terminal but it didn't take. Do I just flash the zip somewhere within the rom? GooManager doesn't allow me to choose a .zip I have to pick from their list
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] misha0209:
howdy again,

so, here we are again.

am in hurry this morning so not that many screenshots.

no apps installed again, you'll have to take my word on it.

and here we are:

so like i said a while back, if it's not google play services, its regular play services, and the time gets's split between other apps.

if you add them the time is roughly the same figure as last time. :(

also, if i were to keep this installation, and charge the phone, then leave it standing again, next time google play services could show up again. been through this many time, just not with a clean ROM.

at this point i am more than sure it is nothing in the ROM, or any of the apps i am using..

i'm going on a BT from work the next 3 days, but when i get back, plan is to find older android revisions, 4.2.2, flash them with odin, then root, and install from there.

i still think the problem lies in another partition. i'm hoping that going to 4.2.2 with odin will overwrite that particular partition.

if i think back on it, these problems started popping up after i odin flashed the stock 5.0.1 samsung firmware.

maybe that release fudged something up...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Spud37:
I just switched to F2FS, and I think i have noticed a difference in it. However give me a bit to test the waters. I was hating the lag. Almost made me want to just got back to CM12 or CM11

Also I just noticed then when i turn the phone on it keeps telling me that the play store has crashed
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] baudbox:
I've changed from alucard to intelliactive governor 3 days ago, and didn't experienced anymore lag.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] SolGarlic:
I tried installing the lates lollipop modem (HOE2) with ODIN 3.07, and it seems to flash correctly, but after restart I still have the same HOB8 modem. I installed it following the instructions over the latest CM12.1, first the combined package and then the bootloader.

You seem to have done it and to have it working. Did you face similar problems? How did you do it?

GPS issue MyTracks

I'm using this ROM now for a few weeks (and before that the AntaresOne 5.0.2 ROM) and besides some minor issues i'm very satisfied with this ROM. But... I'm not posting this because i'm very satisfied, no, i also do have a bu i want to report.. This is the case; i'm using MyTracks with Google Fit integration to follow my tracks when i'm cycling. MyTracks has issues locking a GPS signal and also after a while MyTracks just stops recording (i know this because MyTracks tells me every 5km the speed etc. and this suddenly stops). It starts at home and when i'm cycling, very annoying! Yesterday it happened again and i started Runtastic Road Bike with no issues at all (64km trip!). Also, running a navigation app like Navigon has no issues keeping the GPS locked?

I've already set my GPS region to Europe, tested with AndroiTS GPS Test, with no luck. The ROM is the latest and a clean install!

Please help?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] _Bon_Bon:
You have to flash it twice.

Flash it without autoreboot ticed, manualy reboot, go to download and flash it again. Then reboot to system

Also, i suggest you use odin 3.10, just yo be safe ;D

Hope I helped :3
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] johnny88:
as stated in the modem update thread:

to update modem completely turn off the phone and reboot in download mode only using 3 combo buttons.

that's the trick ;)

-----------------------

...stay tuned...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] SolGarlic:
That did the trick, however I didn't reflash the BootLoader (only the combined MODEM twice). Do I need to flash it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jd1001:
Flash again to make it stick.

Hey [MENTION=5464206]AntaresOne[/MENTION] I hate to be "that guy" but is there any chance of an update coming over the next few days? I'm planning to setup Cyanogenmod for a friend and I just don't trust this ROM to perform properly at the moment.. If not I'll stick to the vanilla CM12.1 ROM.

I had the "bluetooth share has stopped" error message over and over again. I had /cache anda /data with F2FS and /system with ext4. Changing the system-partition to F2FS, too, fixed it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] RK:
The mobile radio active figures aside, you lost 9% battery in 5 hours. That's excellent battery life. Am I missing something here?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
If you don't trust this ROM to properly work for the moment.. goes to the vanilla CM12.1 ROM, but don't the OTA for that. Your reason isn't justified, I think. :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] orgert:
yup clean flash , wiped system data dalvic ans cache using twrp , flashed the rom than gapps , any cm based rom have this problem for me
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FernBch:
Loki is not in the ROM and the zip is installed from recovery. Goo hasn't worked in some time, use Flashify instead.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jd1001:
Do you have privacy guard enabled on my tracks?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lifu':
It's 9% of battery drain by doing nothing, idle time. That is not ok.

I have the same radio bug issue, but since I use wifi more than 90% of the time, it doesn't affect me much.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] christoophat:
Leave it as the zip file & flash it using the Flash .img option in TWRP 2.8.4.0, which you hopefully already have installed.

---------- Post added at 07:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 AM ----------

Actually 5 hours of idle for just 9% battery drain is good to above average. Not sure I understand what you are expecting.

:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] RK:
I get about 1-2% an hour idle drain on every ROM including stock.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] OathYvne:
How come I get random closes. Like just now i was in settings dong something then it says settings has stopped working and kicked me out of that section of it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lifu':
That is too much, I don't think you estimate your percentage correctly. 2% its huge would be almost 50% in 1 day of idle.

This is a common bug in core lollipop and you can find it in any lollipop ROM. It was not present in kitkat and, it's only an issue if you use Mobile Data instead of wifi.

You have any pics of your battery usage at the end of the cycle I can see? Maybe your having the same issue and you don't even know it.

If your using a theme it might be because of that. It happened to me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lennyz1988:
I don't see drain? You lost 10% in 5 hours. That's perfectly normal. You have to look at the awak time. And that's just 20 sec in 5hours.

I was thinking the same thing.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] SimonList:
So you're saying it the kernel which causes long time to wake up?

For my case it actually takes time to LIGHT UP the screen, since the touch screen is responsive and I can unlock even with black screen!

Does AntaresOne's build automatically install alucard kernel?

Is it safe to change it?

What are the other possible impacts of modifying the kernel?

(Sorry if the questions are junior level...) Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nlansing:
The only thing that was able to fix this for me was the "disable proximity sensor" Xposed module. It looks like the "proximity fix" app on the play store works for some but it didn't work for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] bungadudu:
Yea... for me it's clear that no custom rom behave better than stock touchwizz regarding battery. Not the GE and certaintly not the cm based.

On stock touchwizz (despite bloatware bla bla) i would loose maybe 4% overnight, maybe even less. On cm roms 10%.

Also on comparable tasks (like viewing the same video) again, the difference it's clear.

This is though compensated by the fact that this cm roms are faster, have better xposed support and usually they are one android version newer than the stock.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] RK:
In the two years I have owned this phone, I have come to terms with about 2% an hour idle drain. Jellybean, KitKat, lollipop, all the same. If it goes above 5% an hour, that's when I install BetterBatteryStats and start digging into why. You may have had a different experience though. Devices, usage patterns, travel patterns all matter. All I am saying is I would be happy with 2% an hour idle drain.

I have to clarify here that I do not believe in sacrificing functionality for battery gain. I do not greenify or hibernate anything. I use my device with all the google services fully functional. (Hey, when I am out and about and hungry, its awesome to be able to pull out google now and have a list of restaurants (catered to my food habits of coarse) ready for me to look at without even asking!)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AntaresOne:
This is updated when is needed and when there are bigger changes. Communities say that is way better than official CM, so just try yourself and make a decision. If you don't trust just install the official CM

It's embedded in both ROM and my TWRP F2FS recovery. Just flash the zip(s) using another recovery

Here wake up time is as always.

I don't know how people treats their phones, but this is my experience:

- 20150602 build (latest public) on cache/data/system F2FS

- Removed system apps that I don't need

- CPU frequency set to 1674MHz for the 1st core and 1458MHz for the others (a bit of more energy saving than all the cores at 1890MHz, plus I don't need all this power)

- CPU governor set to Alucard for both 4 cores

- I/O scheduler ROW

- No games, just Google Camera, eBay, Facebook (which I disable when not needed), Google+, Hangouts, PayPal, Soundhound, WhatsApp, Tapatalk, TitaniumBackup

No heavy lags at all, just some micro lags when I open at once A LOT (really!) of apps+browser tabs with different websites

Last charge lasted 12 hours with heavy use and 6 hours of screen on time with a new battery watching The Human Centipede trilogy!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] skezza:
Wow this is mental quick. Well done on this ROM.

Now, decisions CM12.1 vs AOSP 5.1.1?

Hmm
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] christoophat:
wow - you are a brave man! :p:laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] baudbox:
I was just point that I had some lags while navigating on the phone and changing governor did the trick. Most of users which complain about screen light up could solve their issue with "proximity fix" like [MENTION=4790700]nlansing[/MENTION] said:

On my side, I don't have such behavior, so I didn't test myself.

Yes AntaresOne's optimized build is cook with Alucard kernel inside. The 2 guys are working together.

Changing kernel is possible I guess. I've seen some users who did it ... but not recommended (until you know what you do or want fun ... and of course have android backup on a safety place :p)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] android_patrizian:
Change of Kernel is possible without problems. Just flash another in recovery. I tried Hulk for some time but returned to Alucard with the latest update as it's optimized for this Rom.

Does your modem work? U had problems with it before. This really matters: 3g/4g modem was the most power hungry component for me.

As for underclock - this is really smart solution. No heat = no throttling = more smoothness for still enough power.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] dilidani:
Hey guys! I 'm writing to share my battery usage experience about this wonderful phone and ROM.

-If you disable 3g/4g/wifi, you can achieve a 1% drain every SECOND HOUR! Phone can easily survive a day without use, with less than 15% drain. Of course, you need good reception. Worse reception, more radio = more drain.

- Alucard shared some nice tips. As i see, alucard and darkness governors are awesome in performance/battery ratio, maybe darkness suits me better.

- Don't use display brightness at a higher level than 50%. Auto brightness in summer is much needed, you can maybe save some juice with manual display but its a PITA :D

- Wallpaper: use a black/white wallpaper. if kinda half black, half white is the best. Everyone knows how sAmoled works, and...

- Use inverted colours! :laugh: If you use Messenger, XDA app, Browser, any stuff with tons of white..you can save huuuuge amount of juice with this option. (You can put it's tile into your scroll down menu somewhere). When lack of charger,really helps.

- You can use built-in power saver in battery menu. It will kill syncs and dims display.

- And NEVER wait to drain your phone under 25%. Maybe placebo, but when i let my phone drain until this level, at the next charge I experience slightly smaller SOT after the charge. Charge your phone when you just can, it makes your battery healthier if you charge little amounts, with a monthly full drain (til 5%).

That's all I can recollect now guys. Hope this helps. :)

BTW, devs and kernel devs! Maybe mad idea but could we gain any battery life, if we could use our CPU somehow like a big-little architecture? I mean, 2 cores on smaller freq and other 2 on higher. Just curiosity. Cheeeers ppl :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lifu':
I know, I wanted the 3000mah but the shipment its too expensive for me.

How is the screen turn on for incoming calls for you guys?

I have to wait 2s after the ring starts. From the first vibrate its even more.

You might think that 2s+ its not that much, but I end up looking at the black screen waiting to see who is calling me. :)

Any workaround for this I can try?

I have to thank you for these awesome tips :) first with Titanium Backup "Freeze/Defrost/Launch an app" and now with CPU underclock.

I cant spot any action being slower with these settings than before, awesome input, thanx again.

My I/O scheduler was set to "ZEN" so I put it on ROW for UI speed.

I love this ROM so much and I greatly appreciate your efforts into it.

P.S. If you have more tips like these, please keep them coming. :D

I find that doing a factory wipe, even a format on data - still doesn't remove all traces of old tweaks/hacks etc, system data seems to stay. Only way I could fix some of the strange behaviour I was seeing was to flash with odin and using the i9500 PIT file (to reparation the device). Did so last week, golden now.
