For those trying to add the navigation bar go to /system/build.prop (using a root explorer) and add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to the bottom. In order to disable the hardware buttons you then go to /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey and put "#" in front of "key 158 BACK VIRTUAL" and "key 139 MENU VIRTUAL". Reboot your phone and you should have a working navigation bar and disabled hardware keys. You can then turn off the backlights in the buttons settings.

thats one sollution but what happened with the toggle from the previous builds?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mperez19:
I believe it's a CM bug. It was in the Oct. 9 build as well and I have seen people report the same bug on the Note 3 so I'm assuming its been overlooked on a few devices.

Sorry for my stupid question, but which gapps is recommended to install ? ( stock , micro, nano, .....)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] r0ckarong:
What are the implications if you use F2FS for /system? I changed everything over and have not noticed anything wrong. The "Using F2FS" does not specifically mention NOT using it on /system.

Can you clarify?

Devs recommend micro, but you can install whatever you want

EXT4 is a tad faster at reading compared to F2FS, F2FS is however a lot faster at writing. Since /system is read only, it makes little sense to use F2FS there. I doubt you'll notice any difference in real life use though.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Corduroysack:
tbf i've noticed a pattern with my device when using the newer opengapps and CM based firmware, cant workout why as i do a clean flash all the time. eg wipe chache,data,system even internal sd and still my old wallpaper is shown when its booted so don't think it's all getting wiped.

Planning to reinstall this new CM again with Pico see what happens (formatted data this time)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] eTaurus:
After dirty flashing the latest build I had a strange problem. After some inactivity when waking the phone the lock screen wouldn't react anymore. I could switch it on and off with my hardware buttons, I could open the power menu, my softkeys worked but the screen wouldn't react so I had to long press the power off button.

So I accepted that it is time to do a clean flash and wanted to try f2fs on data partition without having the possibility to read about it and formatted my internal storage without backing it up. I don't think that I have lost important files but for to be sure : Is there a way to rescue deleted files or partitions on internal storage?

Is it save to backup and restore user apps and data to save me some time when doing a clean flash? If so, which app would do the job best?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FernBch:
The # in the status bar means an app needs some type of authorization from SU. Go into advanced setting in SU and enable it during boot, reboot and see if it goes away. Some apps, like BBS, need that option enabled.

That is one that has never been seen before. The "Strongly Suggested" flash procedure was to clean flash because of all the major changes. If a dirty flash was done it was requested that you clean flash as suggested before reporting issues. Which Gapps did you use and did you wipe cache/davlik when installing the BT zip?

If I remember the discussion correctly the suspicion was the install scripts had some type of differences in them. We all started using the open Gapps micro to eliminate some of the outside influences for testing purposes. I use to think that Gapps were Gapps and all are created equally but apparently this does not hold true.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Corduroysack:
Yes i read that on opengapps thread also, anyway i've reflashed rom, opengapps nano and having none of the problems that id had with the fc's prior to this. :D

Edit: swipe still broken, there is a fix on opengapps thread :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FernBch:
There ate apps on Google Play that can be used to recover deleted data. The only thing you need to know is once data has been written to a particular block in memory the deleted data is no longer recoverable. The apps do work but there are things that can limit their success.

As for restoring app data apps like Titanium Backup will backup and can restore app user data. Restoring app data does have risks, IMHO, and will not back up all files. It will not back up things like pictures, and documents saved on internal or external storage. It's data restore feature is not foolproof, either. I have had many instances of using it to restore user data for apps such as Tapatalk after clean flashing a ROM (this one included) where the app would not function properly afterwards. I would have to uninstall Tapatalk and set it up fresh, restoring app data only was breaking notifications in the app for some reason.

Moral of the story is ALWAYS back up your data before making any major changes. A nandroid will back up your ROM exactly how it is now. Wiping davlik cache and cache before making that backup will reduce the size of your nandroid (they will be recreated on first boot). Internal/external storage must be backed up separately as nandroids don't cover them.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] stevvie:
The button combo is a timing thing and you just have to let go as soon as the tiny text say's recover in the top left. If you hold them in too long it just reboots into the rom like normal.

You could try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.qbanin.reboot I used to use that.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] -Deco-:
Compatibility with Xposed breaks during this update, it seems that the recent up-to-date CM code causes a segmented error when trying to boot into the phone which will cause a bootloop when flashing the framework to the phone. Don't think this is ROM specific necessarily. This is affected by both versions of 74 and 75 it seems.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FernBch:
He did, reread his post.

I've found that releasing the power button when the device vibrates but continuing to hold home/vol dn until the blue text appears works every time.

Multirom install

Hi,

I've tried to update my phone with the last build in multirom mod. But it breaks the current build, and breaks too multirom. So I reinstall Multirom, and made a clean install of the last build in Multirom. But I get an error when booting, after choosing my new external install : I get a message telling me that something went wrong and that the phone shuts down Multirom to avoid problems (for now I can't access the log file, I will try later) : does anybody already meet this pb ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] der_Kief:
No problems here with Oct. 22 build and Xposed v75.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jeremeel2015:
I've been waiting for this new update, thanks!! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gkai:
The full procedure was: backup, wipe cache and art cache, flash rom, flash opegapps stock, flash supersu, flash my fonts, wipe cache and art cache again and boot.

The first boot got stuck on the boot animation, so I restarted using the power button.

Second boot was ok, after rebuilding the art cache and entering my sim code, the wifi started but bluetooth sharing stopped (killing all connectivities, wifi and LTE). Tried rebooting, no success, installed bt patch without any wipe, rebooted and got stuck on boot animation again. Rebooted again, and got the art cache fully rebuilt (I have seen that on previous builds too, sometimes after some system flash and a failed boot, the art cache is completely rebuilt even without explicit wipe).

After that, all seems ok, BT is on, wifi on, LTE working. Still have GPS to test but I am confident, based on my previous experience if you have the system running like this after a dirty flash, you are ok to go.

BTW i am not reporting issues here, just relating some dirty flash experience for those who want to try it. Clean flash is better but also more time consuming, so for me it is always worth to try a dirty flash and have it running for a day or 2. I do a clean flash only if I observe problems, especially problems that were not reported by people doing a clean flash....

To everyone having problems with wi-fi/bluetooth: try using Open Gapps micro.

[MENTION=5464206]AntaresOne[/MENTION] you should write in the first post that micro Gapps are suggested. [MENTION=5576897]-+BB+-[/MENTION] this stands for The Android Open Source Project, too. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi don't work with mini Gapps, for example.

Everything works smooth here, although I get sometimes a big lag when I use the phone when is charging. Thanks a lot for your work.

On the other hand do you think that in next update ti have the possibility to choose clear recent button to be on bottom left or in the middle? I am left handed and it will be excellent for me.

For those trying to add the navigation bar go to /system/build.prop (using a root explorer) and add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to the bottom. In order to disable the hardware buttons you then go to /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey and put "#" in front of "key 158 BACK VIRTUAL" and "key 139 MENU VIRTUAL". Reboot your phone and you should have a working navigation bar and disabled hardware keys. You can then turn off the backlights in the buttons settings.

Hi

i really like this rom but i have problem again :(

In the previous version i have this

i hated this non-working touch and i went go back to the stock 5.0.2 Everything work fine. Including touchscreen, but the orig rom is suxx and today flashed the new rom.

this twrp flashed via odin

boot into reco

the reco changed to this

reboot to recovery

wipe

flash the rom

flash the gapps (mini)

restart.

After the reboot if the phone going to sleep the touchscreen never came back. No matter how i try. The only solution when i pull out the battery or the force power off with the power button.

I really want to use this rom but it's useless now. Any idea to fix this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
try trebuchet settings - you will be surprised
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] eTaurus:
None of them is able to recover any files, but as I said, I'm quite sure that I didn't lose any important data like pictures and movies of my children. But is was worth a try...

Will do a clean flash today. I hope it will solve my problem with lock screen not reacting.

I get the moral but this doesn't keep me from being dumb sometimes. I made a full Nandroid of the August 17th build but no backup of internal storage. I learned a lesson, again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jodge:
Update:

i readed this

flashed this (only the kernel)

and until now evething fine. My touch always working. So it's seems this is a kernel related problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] -+BB+-:
Version 75 by rovo works, device boots without issue, don't know if works on official cm nightly, but no issue here

Alucard kernel is in opt cm, opt slim and our aosp.. You can try to extract kernel and modules from opt cm and flash over a cm nightly, but ramdisks are pretty different at the moment, and cm has some changes that potentially are not compatible with alu kernel, probably rom will boot, but i don't think that everything will work properly..

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AntaresOne:
What you must look for is the boot.img (formerly boot image).

A boot image is composed by a zImage (formerly kernel) and a ramdisk (formerly initramfs), which contains all the necessary data to boot the operating system. "Disabling" a ramdisk makes your boot image useless as you couldn't boot the OS anymore.

"Extract kernel from the zip" means extract the boot.img and loadable modules from system/lib/modules

I see you installed on the SD card, could you try installing on internal memory as secondary ROM? As for MultiROM thread, not all ROMs boot from the SD card.
