Hello guys,

i need to know which build is more stable with goot battery life ? 26 th January appeared in first page or 15 February published by side in post 8255 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65328435&postcount=8255) ?

Thank you in advance

Guys please tell me...does BT crash on previous versions too?or only at latest with crashed ramdisk?

PS.

prepare yourself for optimized CM 13 guys.last bug fixed after 2 weeks

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Undefined Origin:
Still on 11/30...

Previous versions have all had slightly unstable Bluetooth for me. Crashes once every couple of days, no trigger or specific usage. Not even connection protocol (occasional crash even just data, no music)

Quite excited for y'alls cm13 release!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] yobooh:
This is the best ROM EVER!!! Just waiting for a CM13 optimized build!

PS: Will you integrate a better Camera app other than stock?

I cannot find any App that take decent photos with our S4. >.<

I had sporadic crashes with previous versions also. I have to admit that I didn't test the last build thoroughly because of the frequent crashes and necessary reboots.

I know on the 0126 build, the Bluetooth crashed if I was on my Bluetooth speakerphone. It did/does that on the "regular" cm12.1 nightlies (even the 20151116 snapshot), too, so it wasn't too pressing.

If the BT crash is fixed in the latest update, I'm ready to try again! This ROM seemed great other than the continual BT crashes during calls. I'm using official CM12.1 for now but I'm ready to test JDC op12.1 again as soon as BT is working (or JDC AOSP MM as soon as 5GHz is working).

Using a build from 18 Jan and I must say, I've been missing out!! Been on RR for ages and restored my aicp LP build but bugs persisted so thought I'd give this a go and I'm very very happy. Only thing I've found is when listening to music and I send a WhatsApp message it stops my music. Any ideas?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] LimitsX:
I did a full wipe and clean install of this update. The music app that came from the rom, is closing and freezing the phone. I'm gonna try to pull a log, if i can :\.

This happens with any music app i try to use. I haven't installed anything but opengapps (pico). I used F2FS for Data and Cache. I am using JDC TWRP 3.0. Also, my phone has shut down automatically after it freezes.

:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

how can this beeeeeeeeeeee.pffff.....how do fully wipe?

twrp-->wipe-->advanced wipe-->select all except external and otg(the 2 last options)....

install zip...

i still cant believe how people report music errors :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] LimitsX:
So, I do the following:

1.) Factory wipe first.

2.) Advanced wipe

a.)system

b.) data

c.)cache

d.)preload

e.)internal storage

And then

Data format wipe.

I repeat this 3 times before flashing.

Installing rom:

from sdcard i select the rom and install it.

Then I select opengapps pico (Feb 26, 2016) and then reboot. I wait 5-10minutes so everything is loaded.

I am not sure man :(. You're January 18 release i think, didn't have this issue. So after that, i started to experience this =\. I moved songs to internal storage and same.

Is there something I am doing wrong?

I am on 5.0.1 - H1 bootloader and modem !
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
wipe

no factory reset but go to advanced (its ok if u factory though)

select:

Dalvik/ART cache

Cache

Data

Internal

Preload (doesnt matter though)

System

once wipe finish,change the file system of what u want

go to install and select the zip from ur sdcard...

wait until it finish.

when it is finished,WITHOUT REBOOT flash gapps

when gapps installed,reboot

when all apps initialized and u see the setup wizard,make ur choises.

once u r ready and u can use ur phone,make a reboot just to be sure.

once ur phone is started again,try play music...

i use the latest build i have upload

why do u use other baseband?doesnt the rom's comfort u?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] LimitsX:
I follow all the steps you outlined. Except i convert cache and data to F2FS. System is ext4 though.

Once my phone is setup , i will do a reboot and then try to play music.

I am using OH1 baseband.

I will use opengapps micro this time. and keep everything ext4 though.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] audianer:
[MENTION=3185414]LimitsX[/MENTION] : I had the same problem! Sometimes music works for a hour and sometimes it freeze after two songs! I did a full wipe to! Dirty flashing the last nightly (wipe system, flash rom and gapps) solved the problem.

I allready post logs here:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] LimitsX:
So I tried with ext4 in data and cache. Used opengapps micro. When I try to open music app, it freezes and closes. But now the phone isn't freezing though. I am using google now launcher as well.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
u said u solved the problem by flash latest nightly over optimized cm ????
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] audianer:
Yes! I used the nightly before without any problem. Than you relased a new build and i think "give a try". But than i got this music problem. At first i guess the kernel (alucard) is the problem and flashed the cm stock kernel, but it dont help.

For testing i wiped cache, dalvik & system (not data) and flashed last nightly rom and gapps. Than the music works again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
so u installed nightly...not dirty :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] audianer:
At first i clean installed the optimized, wipe everything without externel sd and ota. Than the problem with music.

Only the nightly is "dirty" (wipe only caches and system) installed.

Or is wiping system not dirty anymore?

Is someting interesting in the log?

how can my device works fine while playing music ....just reinstalled optcm12.1 and tryed
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] audianer:
Side sorry but i dont know... I'm not the only one.

If you dont know and nothing interesting is in the los, its not a problem. I allready switch to cm13. There music is working fine ;) i wait till the new cm13 optimized ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rushco:
Installed the latest and almost everything is fine. Stock camera doesn't work (freezes after first picture) but I use Google Camera instead.

For music players I used stock and GoneMAD Music Player and both worked. I used GoneMAD and listened to 30 minutes worth of music no problem.

Steps I took.

1) Upgrade to latest TWRP (3.0)

2) Full wipe

- Cache, Data, Dalvik/ART, System, Internal, Pre-load

3) Change file system of Cache/Data to F2FS

4) Flash ROM, GApps (I used the latest Pico from OpenGApps)

5) Wipe Cache/Dalvik

6) Boot/Success?!?!

I don't use bluetooth so no comment there.

Do you have i9505 aka jfltexx or other models? Maybe even then there were some slight hardware changes between different production series that could cause these problems... for me on international i9505 I had no problems playing music when using it, even the one before last one with false RAM disk (yes there were other issues like occasional freezes etc) but now I already switched to nightly MoKee OS 6.0.1 and it works like a charm :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] audianer:

Download updated build from the link above

Put the zip file on your SDCard

Reboot in Recovery

Select "Install zip from SDCard"

Choose ROM's zip file

Reboot system

There's a chance it'll boot but you'd still need to flash 5.1.1 gapps, I recommend opengapps.org as their the best. If it don't boot then it's a full wipe and fresh install

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xqme:
This version rom 20160118 blocks all touch events after coming back from the first sleep, whether sleep init by timeout or power switch. I turned screen lock to none. I turned Ambient Display off. The only thing that can bypass the problem is staying on usb or charger cable. I made sure Devel option to block touch events to apps is Off. I even tried the On position. I can't think of anything else to try to let touch events through after returning from sleep. There's no lock, not even swipe lock. I'll go ahead and try swipe lock, just to nail all possibilities. OK, tried swipe lock on, no help.

I am trying this rom and gapps micro, after using many cm 12.1 nightlies on this unlocked i337, on cricket att.

Nightlies would have bluetooth share crashing. I haven't seen bluetooth share crash on here yet, but, somehow I lost recovery. My baseband still says MDB, the easiest, earliest, and always previously if I got into trouble I could motochopper the recovery.img which was TWP.

Whether I use devel reboot menu to reboot recovery, or hold three buttons, I get highjacked by "kernel" error and a message about "ATT blah blah not our software". Did ATT somehow slip me something through the network? There was no Cricket APN so I thought ATT would be okay, just maybe no mms, but maybe ATT slipped their malware in by APN settings. Is this the dead end boot lock situation,"ATT not ours"?

OK, using Devel reboot menu, reboot to recovery, booted into TWRP 2.8.7.0

LOL. Now I can easily switch back and forth between this rom and nightlies, as long as this rom does not need f2fs. I could dd your twrp 2.8.7.2 for f2fs, but not unless touch events are working after the first sleep.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xqme:
I could try open_gapps-arm-5.1-nano-20160114.zip, which works with nightlies, instead of your recommended gapps_mini.zip, would that be good on the touch events issue? open_gapps-5.1 uses "swype" lib, I see as it is installing.

OPTIMIZED 12.1 UPDATE 022616

JDCTeam Optimized 12.1 -- LATEST update 022616

Open Gapps Pico 022616

https://github.com/opengapps/arm/releases/download/20160226/open_gapps-arm-5.1-pico-20160226.zip

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

GET THIS GAPPS.. I know it works.. if you want another NANO or FULL or something.. look for older builds and get THIS DATE (20160226).. Do NOT download the default newest version. future dated GApps cannot install on an older ROM version.. DATES MUST MATCH.

It works! This ROM does install and load correctly.. I will change tomorrow to F2FS.. right now I'm on EXT4 for test purposes.

I only have two problems:

= XDA free App won't install (ironic lol) in Play Store .. it gives Error 963.. I've cleared cache for Play Store and rebooted.. still no good there.

= Periscope.. mainly video streaming STILL isn't working. I've used a way older ROM from last April that is the ONLY ROM that will play it.. Its a CM based ROM problem.. still.

ANYONES HELP HERE? Thanks

EDIT: issue 1 resolved.. Play store - clear cache & data... Play services - clear cache.. Then UNMOUNT SD Card.

[MENTION=4385445]Creeper36[/MENTION]

I restored XDA free using TiBU its working for me ;), which post did you find the 20160226 ROM?

Also why do you not recommend upgrade/dirty flash? I would say this is only required when coming from an incompatible ROM or if you are already experiencing issues. Although if side says full wipe mate we better full wipe :)

Also ppl having music (apollo) issues idk I've never had any fc with music app. My suggestion would be to check your internal and external memory/files for errors. Sometimes faulty SD card or invalid /currupt files can cause FC
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Creeper36:
I found the link to this Optimized CM 12.1 022616 Rom in [THIS] post a few pages back.. Its on their Google Drive account.. not mine.. but it IS good to download.. I've verified that it does work.

Yes.. Faulty SD Card was my problem.. Had it over 15 months.. Got a new one and everything works now.

I usually do a clean install.. I know a lot of people usually do a dirty install and I'm not against it.. Its a personal preference.. I'm old-school and I don't mind spending an hour re-installing apps and settings. It gives me peace of mind knowing its the cleanest, best install. I will dirty flash a few times but I try not to. :)

You can check the integrity of a ZIP file with "unzip -t <file>", also many GUI zip tools can do so.

But I agree a hash would be helpful in any case, and it's simply good practice.

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

I don't think this is true. Remember that regardless which version you install you will receive updates anyway. According to your theory this would mean that an update would break the version you installed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sh4z:
[MENTION=6224324]ralfbergs[/MENTION] I know how to check for CRC/md5 the important bit is that the CRC/md5 matches what side says it should be! Lol no point just generating hash by myself lol
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sh4z:
I think something is wrong with the latest pico gapps :) as long as its built for 5.1.1 it should work ...

[MENTION=7018691]MrTiz[/MENTION] I've not used encryption on this ROM yet but it should be able to be turned on in the security menu > encrypt phone. All I'd suggest is backup before you try anything like that! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] smeroni68:
Updates get from market are applyed as incremental updates. So it's possible that using an updated gapps package that substitute the system apk with the last one, finally do not match with the incrementals apk already apply... That's why [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] wrote to not use (in a dirty flash, I specify) always the latest gapps available.

Anyway, if updates are already apply from market, what's the meaning to always use the latest gapps? It is not nececessary due to market updates. Correct?

Different story is in case of clean flash (with /data wipe). In this case it's correct to use the latest gapps that bring the latest app available.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Creeper36:
I HAD A FAULTY SD CARD.. So everything I have said in this last week is probably wrong.. LOL.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ralfbergs:
That was not my point.

My point is that inside a ZIP file there is a CRC for every archive member. "unzip -t" checks that and thus confirms the integrity of the archive. It's not as "strong" as a cryptographic hash (such as MD5 or SHA1/SHA2), but still you can be very sure that if "unzip -t" says "everything is ok" then everything is ok... :)

---------- Post added at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

What you write does not make much sense, sorry to be so frank.

If I understood correctly the original poster [MENTION=4385445]Creeper36[/MENTION]) was talking about a "perfectly clean" install, i. e. also /system wiped, see this post:

So there is no prior version of GApps when you install GApps, and thus nothing is "substituted."

All GApps I know of contain APK files signed by Google (because otherwise you could not receive updates from Google Play, as the code signature must match to the signing key, and if you resign the apps with a different key the keys do not match). So as long as this is the case they're genuine, and Google Play can determine which incremental update to deliver to you to patch the existing APK to the then-current APK.

Yes, absolutely. And please note that I did not say you should always use the latest version available (although I would probably agree if you asked me). I just said (quote):

And this comment of mine was meant to apply to the following statement:

Sorry for being a nitpicker here, but I have a certain motivation to be like that:

When I started with this Android low-level stuff a bit more than a year ago, I read a lot of "blurry" statements here on XDA which confused me being a newbie very much, even though I have a very strong technical background. So I had to read and also research a lot to get a clear understanding. And this is also why I ask a lot of questions here on the forums, to even further improve my understanding and my knowledge.

And now to the nitpicking: When I see something that I consider not to be precise or even wrong, I try to find out what the other person wanted to say and then to put it in a way that even newbies can clearly understand the point. Yes, I may sound like a teacher, but I do so to help people and give back to the community. If I were still active in development (I stopped more than 10 years ago) contributing code would be my way of helping, but as I can't do that I try to contribute in other ways (such as QA and documentation).

As to [MENTION=4385445]Creeper36[/MENTION]'s SD card problems: You have my sympathy. Often it takes a very long time to find out you got h/w issues, and the way until you come to this point can be extremely painful. But of course this explains why you had mysterious problems which you correlated to the GApps. :)

Kind regards,

Ralf
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] smeroni68:
Maybe I bad wrote the meaning.

Just would to say that in case of dirty flash (so maintaining /data partition as it is), it's better to flash the older gapps used with first clean install.

/system is always wiped automatically when flashing a rom, so the meaning of use the older gapps is to install the same gapps apk of previous rom in system partition.

I wrote substitute, because if you flash an updated gapps, the reference apk version (used as reference for market apk update) is changing... and this can generate problems after the boot, because the base apk is different (incremental updates do not apply to a different apk version, also if with same signature). If android recognise this and remove the patches, no problem appear... but sometime this do not works and apk starts FC.... clearing app cache and data can solve, but not 100% of the times.
