Hi there

Im facing a rooting problem with the cm-12.1-20160118-OPTIMIZED-jflte version.

Flashed with TWRP 2.8.7.2.

My phone is not rooted after the flash.

Could you please help me ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FernBch:
Do you mean the ROM?

First time you boot into 2.8.7.2 you'll be asked about "modifying system", just swipe to allow and you should be good afterwards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] parispapana:
Yes I mean the rom....

I had swipe to allow the modification before the flash.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FernBch:
SuperSU 2.52 is included in the ROM. Did you try to flash a newer version? You can try booting into recovery and flashing the beta 2.52 zip. I'll post the link in a sec....

Also, what method did you use to flash. Clean or dirty? If dirty what were you using before?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
After almost 2-day period of trial I had enough:

* xposed drains battery as hell

* not really needed (most of the possibly useful modules do not work)

* MultiROM works 100% with MM on SD but it is a phone not a desktop

Verdict: Uninstalled, and best avoided

To sum up. 26.01.2016 is the real deal-breaker :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ikkanomyoju:
Thank you for your suggestions - in the meantime, I think I found the culprit: it was an app I had installedin order to modify phone-numbers by adding a prefix. As of now, I switched to another app and phone & bluetooth seem to work stable now.

EDIT: after some testing, the new app seems to bring the same problems. Now I tried adding the prefix manually before the phone number - it works a few times and then everything screws up. Seems there is a problem with handling prefixes on the phone number ?

Does anyone have troubles with snap camera, too? I can always take only one photo and when I try to take a second, the app crashes.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sagie:
With the 26/01 release, I experience the same problem reported by [MENTION=3642553]Alecsandru90[/MENTION] and [MENTION=7075036]ertlflorian1[/MENTION] , that phone will only boot once, and will not boot again (details below). This problem is fixed by flashing CM-Kernel_20151130.

After kernel replacement the phone works relatively well, with the following issues:

Taking a picture with Snap Camera causes camera to lock up and a reboot is required to use camera again. Taking pictures with Google Camera seems to work well.

BT is usually functional (I can use BT headphones and BT-LE fitness band), but occasionally BT will crash and get disabled, after which a reboot is required to regain functionality.

Some info about my flash process and the boot problem:

I have a GT-I9505 with XXUHOJ2 modem/baseband.

Before flashing, I did a factory wipe in TWRP.

I flashed OptimizedCM-12.1-20160126-jflte.zip and open_gapps-arm-5.1-mini-20160130.zip, nothing more (no Xposed, SuperSU or any other mods).

First reboot after flash - phone boots successfully and I go through Google's "first boot wizard", I log into my Google account and start Google's restore of applications.

After all applications are installed, I reboot the phone.

Phone remains in boot animation for at least 15 minutes, after which I give up waiting.

I try to reboot the phone - system will not boot - remains in boot animation.

I can boot recovery (TWRP), so I dirty flash again the ROM and the GApps, wipe cache+dalvik.

Whatever I do - system will not boot - remains in boot animation.

I boot to recovery and flash CM-Kernel_20151130.zip, wipe cache+dalvik.

Phone finally boots to system.

Play services and Play Store have been crashing for the better part of the last 2 weeks, both on 1/18 (dirty flash) and on 1/26 (clean flash) builds.

Play Services crashes every time that I do something that is sync-related (editing contacts, using Play Games, saving a note on Google Keep, etc.), while Play Store has been often failing to install or update apps (especially the big ones). What am I supposed to do? Is this problem ROM-related or it is happening to other Android users?

EDIT:

I did also notice that after the clean flash I did still have the "WhatsApp" folder in the internal storage partition: is that normal, after having performed Factory Reset + Advanced Wipe (cache, dalvik, data, system)?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Kippy51:
I clean flashed the 18th build and dirty flashed the 26th; didn't clean anything. Rebooted system, noticed Playstore missing, rebooted into recovery and flashed OpenGapps Pico. THEN cleaned dalvik and cache and rebooted. No problems at all! Did you check MD5 of your downloads?

Edit: I don't use Whatsapp, so don't know.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HamdiArifi:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Madaurensis:
Since I have always been using OpenGapps AROMA, I made another clean install of the ROM, this time with OpenGaps Pico.

Still nothing, the issue didn't go away: everytime I do something that requires data sync with Google, Google Play Services crashes. :(

I repeat: is there a way of deep cleaning the internal storage (of course without bricking the phone)? Maybe the issue is that some corrupt file from the previous flashes is bugging the whole thing.

Even WhatsApp and Instagram folders are still there, after the full wipe. This thing puzzles me... :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Kippy51:
You can wipe internal without getting into trouble (as long as you make Backup, just in case). Preload aswell, although that is only used by original TW afaik.

I have never ever needed to clean more than that!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Madaurensis:
Thank you, but I think that it would be better to wait for the next AOSP 6.0 beta and hope that it could help to fix this Play Services madness. It's a safer chance to take, before messing around with the recovery.

I'm not one of those who likes to play with the phone and kernel settings, and yet I don't really know what's the reason behind all these crashes. It happened one day all of a sudden, and it hasn't stopped since!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] -Deco-:
Probably due to the app permissions, if you scroll through my posts on the AOSP thread, i posted a way to fix the issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Madaurensis:
Thank you very much, I did find it but unfortunately it didn not help.

Matter of fact, I didn't have any Play Services / Play Store crashes during the Android wizard setup, but everytime they occurred when the Play Store was in the middle of its restoration process until an eventual flash of the ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Kippy51:
Sounds to me as a gapps problem, not ROM. Why don't you try clean flashing the rom and then reboot WITHOUT installing any gapps? See if it's stable then.

I've never had a problem with gapps on this ROM I do run the 'bare metal' gapps (absolute minimum) just for convenience in case I need to install something. I probably could get away with not installing gapps if I just restored using titanium backup. It might even save some battery!

I'm currently using open gapps also

logcat does not work

Excuse me, did you try this for yourself? In case of syslog from play store I only have two logs written to disk with more than 0 bytes length: The dmesg.log and the last_kmsg.log. As I said in an earlier (unanswered post) I don't seem to have the logging feature activated at all (no /dev/log device when looking into it from a terminal, logcat terminal command saying "no log device main"). Yes, I have root. My current ROM is the one from Jan, 18th (because I'm shying away from upgrading, last time it took me a week to get - almost - everything back to as it was before). Will I need to upgrade? Or is it a general feature of this ROM to have logcat disabled (I don't know, maybe for energy saving purposes)?

Just tried it myself on the 26th build and when I start Syslog it asks for root-permission and then takes the log. Saves it to internal storage in a zip-file. 5 logs: dmesg.log (181kB), event.log (0kB), last_kmsg.log (26kB), logcat.log (0kB) and modem.log (0kB). I don't think its a ROM-problem, more on your side.

Just curious as to which, Open Micro is what I use. It's more a personal preference, just use the latest. You can always flash without Gapps and try. If the issue remains you know Gapps has nothing to do with it.

I actually use both.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ako673de:
Are you kidding me?

"logcat.log (0kB)": Do you really think that 0kB is a correct size for this file?! That's most probably the file that should contain (at least) the log of log device "main" and obviously you're missing it, too. So it's becoming even more evident that it IS a ROM problem. Maybe not a problem, because it might well be a desired feature, but for sure a problem for me, because I need it now to investigate an issue with a VPN application (VpnCilla), which is being killed once in a while for some unclear reason.

I read about how to at least temporarily re-enable the logging feature in threads of other ROMs, but none of these solutions seem to apply to this ROM (kernel).

Do you really see any content?

I used CatLog, too, for years, but with this ROM it only shows a rotating circle - forever.

And SysLog only stores empty files - as described above.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Kippy51:
The '0' kb files are empty; if that's correct, I don't know. The others have text in them.

Catlog with me is just a spinning circle too.

I tried both apps on my S3 with Temasek's 6.0-ROM and catlog gives the pretty colored lines and stores OK, as does Syslog (no empty files). If its a ROM-thing I don't know, sorry.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ako673de:
astonished...

Yeah, the kernel logs are not empty. Just to make sure: I'm looking for the "main" log (which by default is the only one that shows up in CatLog, the others first have to be configured before they show up, too)

So you even re-checked for yourself with another ROM and saw content where you don't see it with this ROM. So how can it be correct? What other can it be than a ROM issue? I'm heavily astonished.

Maybe one of the kernel developers can comment on this. I'm sure to re-enable it won't be too much of an effort (ROM developers might well need it for own purposes - at least once in a while!). Maybe it's just as simple as some hack with STweaks? Please help...

Cool story bro :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Madaurensis:
Solved! :)

Today I switched to CyanogenMod 13, and when I was to perform the "Wipe data/Factory reset" I wanted to try a little procedure: before wiping data and cache partitions, I re-formatted them to EXT4. Then I wiped them, then I re-formatted them again to F2FS, and flashed CM 13.

The result is that I magically fixed all the issues with the Play Store and Play Services, and the internal storage of my phone was finally clean (there were no pre-esistent folders like WhatsApp, Instagram, Camera, etc.).

So

this

was the reason behind those errors! My previous 'clean flashes' were not really clean, because I had to re-format cache and data to ext4 before wiping them! Hope that it helps. Now I can enjoy my new ROM.

So long, and thank you again! ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FernBch:
I made the same discovery on the MM ROMs recently. Only difference was I only did the "wipe IntSD" part. Once I wiped it and got rid of everything on it my issues went away. TWRP formats to ext4 when wiping, for me anyway.

Great ROM

Thanks for all hard work put on this ROM, it's perfect.

I'm using since I bought the S4 on 31/01, and no issues so far.

But I have two questions, if someone could help me.

1) I cannot find the link to the 0126 build, only the 0118. But when I check OTA update, it says a new version is available, but is the same 0118 I have installed (?)

2) I guess this issue is not related to the ROM, but to the battery. Well, when I'm using the phone, even with brightess set to minimum and all features disabled, only surfing on web, after 2 hours it drops from 100% to 50%. But strangely, if I left the phone for some minutes, the battery auto increases a little (?), I mean, it shows 55% again. This is just a example, everytime the batterey increases a little when not using the phone. I bought the phone for a lower price, because the screen glass is broken in the left top, but everything also is OK. So, I don't know if is a battery issue or something related to some failure of the battery power to the screen (don't know if try buying another battery, or change the screen will fix the problem.. or even both). Someone have an idea?

EDIT: I attached the pictures of the battery screen (see the battery increases? Yes, it happened when not using the phone during night) and of the broken left top of the screen (the touch works fine even on the broken part).
