For people that might dont know ,

[EOL] = End Of Life = No more updates = No more assistant.

Please follow us at Optimized CM13 thread :)

Understand our situation...we cant work on many roms TOGETHER

edit:

We will ask the team if there is one developer who would like to update optcm12.1

IF exists,then we can release more updates.

Thanks for at least you replied
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AntaresOne:
Do you use apps like Freedom? This kind of apps might block the connection to the Play Store.

First, correct file is /system/etc/hosts without extension.

Second, your hosts file should contain only 127.0.0.1 localhost when it's original.

Third, please note that Play Store servers could have issues themselves as happens sometimes.

If there's gonna be an update, can the freezing issue be resolved please??! =( this rom is not usable for my S4 i337M model with OH1 bootloader and modem.

That is the ROM i am using. I had reported after the installation.

I think it was two or three sites back. That ROM is running pretty

well, smooth and a 100% daily runner for people who won't install

the newest ROM every time.

Nothing against new ROM's in Alpha or beta state, that is the way

how it works here on XDA. But people so as me with only one S4 ;)

has to work on the save site before we go further to the next step.

And when you have kids you must have one phone that works 100 pro.

For my other tab's and phones is that a different story ;).

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Corduroysack:
I was talking about the way the graph is displayed (black where it should be cyan, cyan where it should be black) not the drain. I've had over 4hrs Sot with this rom so I'm more than happy with the battery life. ☺

Been using the ROM for 6 months. Its GREAT, thank you!!

Any way to add support for mirrorlink? I've seen other ROMs that claim to have backported it.

Will try and check and report back, in the meantime, if anyone knows if there is anything to do, it's much appreciated.

Thank you

OK...sorry for noob post but...what is the significance of a "optimized" CM ROM? How's it diff/better than just a regular cm rom? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] christoophat:
op·ti·mize

verb

past tense: optimized; past participle: optimized

make the best or most effective use of (a situation, opportunity, or resource).

Audio Problems = External SD problems

I'm having issues with my audio. Music will not play (poweramp, tune in, Pandora). I can't hear phone calls. The phone locks up when I turn up/down volume.

I have a 64gb SD card with 63gb of music. When I remove the card everything works great. This didn't used to be an issue, but now it is. I formated the card with my phone and the problem is still there. I think there is too much music on the card for this ROM to handle. Maybe media scanner issue??

I know this ROM is at end of life but a solution for this issue would be a great help.

Thanks in advance

PS great ROM / can't wait to jump over to cm13.

Good day, kind sirs. Im planning to flash this on my s4. Would you be so kind to enlighten a lad?

Flashing this build on a sim-locked device will "release" the lock? What are the bad effects, if any, if I flashed this on a sim-locked device

I live here in the PH and I know my steps in flashing and recovery. Thanks a bunch

OPTIMIZED CM 12.1 - FINAL [STABLE] - EOL (End-Of-Life) 02-26-2016

JDCTeam Optimized CM 12.1 -- FINAL STABLE RELEASE 022616

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24521665358596062

Open Gapps - Look for ARM 5.1 NANO *.ZIP

https://github.com/opengapps/arm/releases/

For NEW installs: Wipe All.. Install ROM + GApps.. Wipe Cache/Dalvik.. Reboot.

Note: This ROM is now at its End-Of-Life.. meaning no more support or updates will be issued.

Enjoy and if interested.. Optimized CM 13 is currently the newest, updated ROM from the JDC Team.

No date change.. its still 02-26-2016 since nothing was changed except the flash barrier.

Since I only changed the flash barrier I'm not 100% sure that all these variants will be compatible.. If you have trouble with SIM Card Missing or APN settings or WIFI problems then its probably incompatible but since CM13 supports all these I thought I would give everyone the option to try it.

Updated the flash barrier to include the following S4 GSM variants:

jfltexx

i9505

GT-I9505

jgedlte

i9505g

GT-I9505G

jfltetmo

jflteatt

jfltecan

jfltetfnatt: Optimized CM12.1 = NO (SIM not detected.. Do Not Use) --- Official CM12.1 = YES (works great.. currently using this)

jfltetfntmo

jfltecri

jfltespr

jflteusc

jfltecri

jfltecsp

jfltevzw

jflteaio

=========================================================================

Official CM12.1 03-29-2016

(Originally for only jfltetmo)

An alternative for a CM12.1 (Android 5.1.1)

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24521665358596112

I still have a copy of this.. its the last Official CM12.1 nightly that was available before they switched over to CM13. I cannot find this anywhere so this may be the last copy available online. I also updated the flash barrier to include the GSM variants in the list above. So there may be some incompatibilty with this also.. try it and see.

And you have three kids? ;)

I have to use the secure side in that. But possible i get a next S4 in the weekend,

Then i can help out with testing or whatever.

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

Yes it works together with Xposed v83 for Samsung from Wanam.

BootManager and Greenify with the latest version working without any issue here.

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

Will check it in the weekend on my i9505 and thanks for the information.

And i use the Trebuchet 6.0.1.3 UNIVERSAL.apk with this ROM and it is working well.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mike2nl:
Short about Greenify:

there are a lot of people out there who say that task or app killers like Greenify make no sens.

In one way very well i can say about the logs i had running for the without any killer and Greenify.

On systems with less memory it is a good one that helps to make mem free for other things

that need more mem. As an Example: minecraft or air tower or any other mem eating game.

On systems with more memory it makes sense about the speed. Strange enough and normally

not logical because the system handles that with the given settings, but i have seen and measured

it for month now and there is a difference. And it is a very little one measured in AnTuTu.

We all will have the optimized & performed system (look at JDC) and here it helps.

For me an argument that is good enough to use it ...

And BTW everyone does what he want that is the respect that we have to give everyone.

Other point is when e.g. JDC say we give no support when that is used, and that is 100% OK.

Because they have done a lot of amazing and stressful work to optimize her work.

And BTW very well done JDC Team!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Trubbs:
This got me thinking. I used Greenify in last few versions of cm and there were definite benefits. Lower memory usage, more responsive in general and improvements in battery life. However with this ROM I couldn't say whether there is any difference as by habit it got installed with my personal app fleet when I flashed optimised 12.1. So now I uninstall and see what happens :thumbup::)

Thus is the best ROM for S4 so far IMHO. Many thanks to JDC Team

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Corduroysack:
It will be interesting to see what results you get, I'm still on the fence about greenify. ☺
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Creeper36:
I have an opinion on this.. if Greenify takes up less memory and resources to run than what it is saving by hibernating certain apps then greenify is worth it.

What I mean is if greenify takes up 1 meg of memory and all the programs it hibernates takes up 2 megs of memory total before hibernating then greenify is definately worth it. If you only want to hibernate a couple small apps then you probably dont need greenify. so you have to determine whats your savings vs what greenify is spending as just an app.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Corduroysack:
I've just removed greenify and xposed so i can get an idea of what its like just as stock. Will reinstall greenify tomorrow and monitor again :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Creeper36:
Xposed is a huge consumer of memory and resources.. it increases your temp and decreases battery life.. Decide if Xposed is really worth having. Do you REALLY need it? Is it mostly cosmetic fixes or tweaks? Please tell me what YOU think.. please.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Corduroysack:
Tbh i dont usually use xposed at all, just this time decided to install, but i dont think the payoff is worth it on this rom at least :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jochen K.:
For me the use of Xposed is largely dependent on the ROM - does it have certain options I refuse to do without?

If not, I install the framework and get those options from there.

In descending order of importance:

-Menu key - tap for menu, long press for "kill current app"

-Power Menu with Reboot to Recovery / Toggle offline mode / toggle sound

-no frills video downloader - I watch a video on just about any platform and am asked "download?"

-screenshots - if the delay is too long, Delay Remover

-circular battery icon with percentage inside

-date/day of the week beside the clock in the notification bar,

-colourful icons in the notification bar
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Trubbs:
OK so I am ready to present my findings.

Background: I have run cm on S4 gt i9505 I international since June 2013, previously using HTC buzz, always on cm official. If I had a pound for each nightly flash lol...

I came late to JDC part only 2 weeks ago. Installed greenify at once (from tb backup). For comparison I uninstalled greenify and continued with normal usage pattern. 3 to 3.5 hrs sot on normal usage for me.

24hrs normal use no greenify:

Effect on sot, nothing that I could see. O/S handled battery no problem.

RAM, This did give me an issue and I had to reboot once to alleviate the game performance issue I encountered.

In every other respect the performance did not suffer, however, the user experience did.

I play some casual games like 8 ball pool. So I smoked a few frames, dismissed the app and carried on. Then a couple of hours later, stupid notifications appear from the game and that to me is unwanted spam. My notification area is for important stuff not some garbage the marketing guy forced the dev to code into the app. Greenify simplifies the process of killing this spam, the hibernate widget feels to me like putting the O/S back into fresh boot state.

I realise that inbuilt tools like granular privacy and in app (where available) settings could have alleviated these issues but that seemed like a bit of titting around to me.

So, for me, my personal set up includes Greenify.

I think I just got off the fence :solid ;)

So here's a new one on me. Flashed 20160226 and ran it alllll day. Out of clear blue this evening phone reboots on its own. No biggie. After reboot I check it out all seems well...until I try to shut screen off with pwr button. One short press brings up reboot menu...screen freezes then off to black. Attempts to reboot with ALL combinations of batt pull and long pwr press MIGHT yield a very short Samsung unlock screen then black. No way to recovery. Cont.-->

---------- Post added at 12:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------

After maybe 20 minutes it reboots itself SEEMINGLY fine but then either after just some time or DEFINITELY if pwr is pressed it starts all over again. While it seemed fine I was able to wipe and reinstall older version of this rom and to my shock..it still does this. I figure it's either a kernel thing...a bad pwr button or (gulp)..shes borked. Any thoughts appreciated.

I am by no means blaming this rom...just hoping I haven't lost my unlocked vruamdk bootloader. Thanks all.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Shakkuras:
It's your power button

I have this same issue on my jfltevzw. It looks like the tiny piece of plastic that gets depressed to complete the circuit inside the button loses some of its "springiness", and completes the circuit constantly; as a result, it's like holding down the power button. When it gets like this, it takes some creative shaking, tapping, prying, etc. to get the button unstuck. Alternatively, disassembling the phone and cleaning that switch out also seems to help for at least a little while. It doesn't seem to take much to get it stuck again, which can lead to some annoying situations. There's not a lot of margin in those buttons, which is probably why the second-hand phone that I bought looks like it had the switch replaced at least once. I try to avoid using the power button at all; I use Material Power Menu as a replacement, and turn off the screen by double-tapping the status bar. You can also buy a new button for like $3, if you're comfortable soldering something that small. Your bootloader is safe, don't worry.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] LeonHart23:
Hey mate, here is your problem i suppose

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l_6fwzuIwA

I've got the same problem, power button is probably sensible after some time for this device and it breaks creating a short circuit. Fortunately the issue is not so hard to fix, supposing u are capable in disassembling and assembling the button :D. U need a mini welder in order to repair it.

Don't worry, u didn't lost anything of your files, it's just an "electrical issue" :D
