[MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION], just wanted to report that my 16 year old says absolutely no issues with his phone "for the average teenage usage" :) Had the 5.1.1 loaded since it came out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
Thanks but I already know!

I'm 14 myself :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HORiZUN:
Does this ROM have issues playing audio via speaker or bluetooth? I'm on the 5.0.1 GPE rom and I experience audio stutters. Kernel tweaks help, but I'm wondering if the issues are still present.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
Speaker is fine, BT i'm not sure as I don't use it

Some people have BT issues, others don't

could be firmware or cm, I'm not sure
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] krazierokz:
14:eek::eek: KUDOS! keep up the great work my friend !

sent from my Candyfied5.1 S4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
I hardly do anything

I change about 5 things in CM's trees, and build

all the work is done for me by the CM and Candy team

I definitely want to learn more but after finals :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] j21098:
Might be stupid, but I can't find a way to change the lockscreen wallpaper....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
pretty sure it's just the home screen wallpaper, unless you're on a theme. in case of the latter, disable lock screen wallpaper theming (set it to stock theme)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] j21098:
I was on a different 5.1 ROM and I could set a different wallpaper in the display settings or change the home wallpaper and it would change the lockscreen too. I've tried changing it to stock and changing the wallpaper but the lock screen one doesn't change
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
Then I'm not sure

It works fine for me so I'm clueless here
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] j21098:
Whenever you change your home screen does it change your lockscreen?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
Yes it does
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] j21098:
Ok I got it to work. I guess applying the wallpaper from a theme messes it up. I flashed the ROM again and it fixed it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chosen_on184:
Ok so thinking of flashing this maybe tonight and use for tomorrow however how bad is the bluetooth issue ?

I use wireless headphones so bluetooth for me is a must .. Is it a simple kernel switch
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
Idk, since I don't use bluetooth

I highly doubt it's a simple kernel switch otherwise invisiblek would've enabled it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] krazierokz:
I personally don't have that plague Bluetooth bug.. I use all the time for my headphones and wireless speakers ;) Test and make a back up.. Its really a smooth ROM

sent from my t mobile S4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joeyrivGIN:
Could someone please tell me how to screen shot w/ this ROM. (I have an S3, but I just flashed Candy5 on my daughter's S4 and I'm not with her to figure it out... Apparently it does not work the same as w/ the stock ROM??) Thanks for your help..

Not sure what i am doing wrong (GAPPS 5.1)

After loading rom, i tried to flash gapps for 5.1 (various downloads and after clean installs) and i get several messages saying "unfortunately... (various google apps) stopped working"

Anyone able to advise me what i am doing wrong? it doesn't appear anyone else is having this issue so it's gotta be user error.

Advice please. updated from 4.3 with old recovery, i think odus?

THANKS!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lethalmajik:
I had the same issue. Worked fine when I flashed the ROM without gapps 5.1. Once I flash gapps it gave me the same errors. Had done full wipe of everything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] asolis:
Im also having the exact same issue . I've tried gapps 5.0 and the latest gapps from slimroms 5.1 full. Is there a specific gapps needed? Seems to boot fine without gapps, is there an apk for the play store that i can push so that i can then download the rest of the gapps? Any help is appreciated, Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Woodalia:
Updated to TWRP 2.8.4

I updated my recovery and it seems to have installed the gapps ok. hope this works for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] melee93:
I know this might be a stupid question but where do I click to download the rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] melee93:
actually can someone just give me instructions
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] melee93:
nvm figured it out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuzzybabybunny:
You need this version. It worked for me.

http://highonandroid.com/download-android-5-1-lollipop-gapps/

HOWEVER, my GPS doesn't get any satellites. Can someone else confirm? Also various VPN services (PandaPow and ExpressVPN) work very unreliably inside China. Looking at the PandaPow logs it has something to do with a failed TLS handshake and the problem doesn't seem to be so much as Lollipop but that LP uses a different-bit encryption scheme that my VPN doesn't use...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
GPS is working fine for me. As for VPN, I'm not sure as I don't use one. However is it OpenVPN or PPTP or L2TP?

IIRC, OpenVPN is not natively supported in Android however CM might've patched it in.

If you wouldn't mind giving it a shot on a CM nightly and seeing if it's a device specific bug or it's inherited from CM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
New build is UP!

Sorry for the delay, I've been a bit busy with schoolwork and finals.

I've built this yesterday and I've been running it since and it's working wonderfully.

Check the AFH folder in the OP!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darkgandhi05:
Is anyone able to get AppSettings Xposed module to work on this ROM with the new Xposed alpha framework? Doesn't seem like it's working for me.

Other modules are working for me (SnapPrefs, MinMinGuard, Xposed Additions, YouTube Adaway)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] caloyzki:
Very smooth and fast rom. I hope OP will add on next update, the OTA app. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
I'm sorry I won't. I could but this is source built. I'd have to hack it in there by shoving an apk and an xml into there and I don't want to do that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fatal_Equinox:
Bluetooth Bug Fixed?

Hello,

I'm looking into this ROM and I'm curious if the bluetooth issues have been fixed. Even if it's not, I'll probably give this ROM a testrun anyway. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chris.Ortiz626:
Q

Does this rom by chance have the unrestricted WiFi tether applied to it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Yousvel:
No my friend

Proximity sensor

Hey guys,

Im having trouble with the proximity sensor. Screen is not waking up when a call comes in. If i answer the call, Screen doesn't turn on when i take the device off the ears.

Im missing lot of calls because of this. Had to lock and wait for few seconds to use the menu button to activate the screen.

Can someone help?

Sud:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
I think you have to disable the Active Display feature which interferes with that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
It's there for half the people and not there for the others. I bet it's a firmware issue. People with the firmware to match the libs seem to not have the issue. I don't use bluetooth so it's not a big deal for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sud_ran:
Hi,

You meant Ambient display or livedisplay? Not able to find anything as active display in settings or candy interface.

Sud

---------- Post added at 07:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 AM ----------

Had to manually reset and recalibrate proximity sensor. Its fine now.

echo 0 > /sys/class/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal

echo 1 > /sys/class/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal

Sud
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EMcTx:
Which firmware and libs fix the bluetooth issue? I'm on NK2 for modem and bootloader, but I still have problems connecting, especially the media in my car. I had better luck on TW lollipop, but there was too much lag.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darkgandhi05:
Settings force closes anytime I try to enter the Candy Interface > Buttons submenu. Any ideas on how to fix that?

I'm on the stock theme. Alternate themes caused force closing in Settings while on a different CM-based ROM.

How's the battery on this ROM for you guys?? Mine doesn't last more than 7 HRS.. Drains too fast if screen on or if I use v4a. ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
I get 12 with stock kernel, but I typically use [MENTION=2199706]Alucard24[/MENTION]'s Kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
Hey guys, good news. Over the next few days I have some extra time to finally try and figure out my planned Cake Kernel for Candy5 that I never got around to doing because of bootloops that I was too lazy to fix :o

This should improve battery life greatly because jfltetmo battery life is horrible tbh, so now hopefully stock Cake Kernel will have good battery life
[MENTION=6197045]g7755725[/MENTION] and all other custom rom devs, feel free to include my kernel in your ROMs (it will need some ramdisk changes for building inline with source built ROMs, check my device trees, for other ROMs, just copy the boot.img over) just give me the proper credits for putting it all together and send me a PM for what ROM you're using it for and a link to your thread so I can check for proper crediting.

I'm also going to try to add ROM Optimizations to Candy5 to try to speed up the ROM just because I can (things like O3, Graphite, Strict Aliasing, etc.) aka optimization porn

If nothing errors or breaks and it boots up I will release it tomorrow with Cake Kernel

My ultimate goal is to eliminate the need for other kernels to be used with this ROM and to make it as stable, fast, and have acceptable battery life at least for this device

tl;dr version:

More Features

Custom Kernel

Better Battery Life

Optimizations

WIP

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] g7755725:
Well thanks well personally ive upgraded my os rom to v5.1.1 and your kernel doesnt support my rom anymore due to the android version if you can update your kernel or rom to android v5.1.1 id be gladly able to push it as a addon to my rom and display credit in the addon and thread thanks in advance if you decide to do it :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
It already is 5.1.1 but just let me release Cake Kernel so there will actually be an advantage in upgrading it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] g7755725:
Oh didnt know
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HORiZUN:
I love this ROM and I loved the CandyKat ROM for the S4, but I'm having a bunch of problems with this one. Random network drops (several times a day) system UI crashes, gps gets lost, and random reboots when connected to the bluetooth unit in my car. Am I the only one having these issues? I love the ROM and the speed it brings, but this is getting to me. Coming from a full wipe and I don't use titanium backup. Xposed not installed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
EDIT: I'm maintaining this device again. My Candy Kernel is included in this build now, finally. Sorry for the no build for like 3 months thing I've been busy and needed time to catch up with stuff, but I'm back now.
[MENTION=6197045]g7755725[/MENTION], feel free to use the boot.img included in this build. Hopefully it will be up in about 2 hrs max.
[MENTION=3308525]HORiZUN[/MENTION] @ darkgandhi05, try this build, I clobbered and this should be a good build.

[MENTION=2734369]sud_ran[/MENTION] [MENTION=2832970]tnimoruen[/MENTION] The battery life on this kernel should be pretty good
[MENTION=4316998]EMcTx[/MENTION] [MENTION=5426014]Fatal_Equinox[/MENTION] Blutetooth should work well on this build, CM did a lot of work on BT since my last build

@caloyzki We have OTA now, this build will be a manual flash, hopefully on the weekend OTA should automagically come

I'd like you guys to test this build out (it's still building) if you get the chance :)

This kernel is also being used by @chris4824 in Tesla and Validus (albeit an older version, which has some lag with badass governor) and in future BrokenOS Builds
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xxjabberwockxx:
I actually use a Note 2 as my primary, but my son uses an S4. I'll see if he wants to toy around with it :) Thanks for the update!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
Build is UP in my AFH in the OP!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sud_ran:
Flashed the latest build. Works good and seems to be snappy than the previous one.

Will update on the battery performance by tomorrow. [MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION] Thanks again and welcome back.

Sud
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EMcTx:
I'll try to flash this weekend and I'll let you know the results. Definitely looking forward to see if bluetooth works in my car.:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
Congrats! And It's fortunate for you :P Snapdragon 805 is way better than Snapdragon 600 (and it's more power efficient too)

Thanks!

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] krazierokz:
Thank you kind sir! I will flash tomorrow and test, welcome back - I also really enjoy this ROM:thumbup:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] g7755725:
Does this have its very own kernel app for it or no snd does it suport CM12.1 v5.1.1 i built GsmerROM 8™ but i dnt want to make a mistake
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
Candy5 is CM based, this ROM is 5.1.1, so yes it supports CM 12.1.

And no it doesn't have it's own kernel app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EMcTx:
Just installed this morning, so far so good. I haven't had a chance to test my car's bluetooth yet. I do have one question. How to I access the recents menu? I went to the button settings, and looked for a way to access recents by assigning it to the menu button, like I've done with other ROMs, but I couldn't find that choice. Is there another way to access it? Being able to switch between apps easily is one of my favorite things about Lollipop. I didn't realize how much I use it until I couldn't do it:).

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
Settings->Candy Interface->Hardware Buttons

Change Long Press Home Button to Overview
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EMcTx:
Thanks!. I had never seen the recents referred to as Overview on other ROMs before, and then when I was setting up Chrome on my phone, I saw that that is what Google calls it. As they say, you learn something new everyday. :)

The bluetooth is as unstable for me as it's been on the CM Lollipop ROMs. I struggle to connect to my car, and then it loses the connection or the sound frequently. This is one area the Samsung ROMs excel in. I've had no trouble connecting while on those ROMs. I hope this problem is fixed with the M release, whenever that is.

Other than the bluetooth issue, this is a solid ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
Oh ok. I hoped the stuff cm was working on might've stabilized it.

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

Hopefully, with a little bit of luck, you will get an OTA update to Candy5 3.2.

The build is not ready yet but if it isn't pushed out via ota I'll post for you guys to manually

update and I'll update the build folder in the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sud_ran:
Im pretty much satisfied with this update. Battery life has improved a lot. The phone doesn't heat up like it used. Does lag a bit when running multi tasks. But far better and stable now.

Thanks once again [MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
In the latest build, which should be pushed out via OTA, I tried to fix lags and keep the same battery life. On a side note, it's finally done! Updating the folder in the OP, we're using basketbuild now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nana Ayeh:
Help!! Download link is down. See attachment as proof.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rc420head:
Didn't boot, I was asked by [MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION] to pull it

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nana Ayeh:
OK. Will patiently wait for the candy!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
this kind of crap always happens to me ;)

For the record: I hate Sammy's Code
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sud_ran:
Someone please share the previous stable build. Not able to find the AFH link in this forum.

Lost the july 31st build and now not able to boot the latest one as well.

Pls help quick..

Thanks,

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
Sorry about the build not booting

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347784169

is the one you're looking for I think
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sud_ran:
Yep.

Thanks man

Crap happens. Don't bother. Take your time to fix the build. We will def wait for it.

Sud
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
Thanks :)

This thread is by far filled with the nicest users I have ever seen

As a thank you, if there's a kernel feature you'd like me to add (with a commit for reference or a cherry-pick) please don't hesitate to ask!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
Found the issue guys. It was the toolchain. I never would've thought to look at it until now.....

Building now :fingers-crossed:

EDIT: Built, and booted, but I forgot to merge some CM changes from yesterday, merging them and I'll rebuild and test it. This adds PCC Color Control as opposed to the KCAL we had before.

128 times more accurate.

EDIT 2: Starting next week I am going to use the unified build with the approach from [MENTION=5464206]AntaresOne[/MENTION], so we will have support for all variants. It will all be one tree which will be easier for me to maintain, and better for users since all JF users get to try it out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
New build is UP! Tested and Working. Should be pushed out via OTA.

Else, build is in the basketbuild folder in the OP.

Thanks for waiting so patiently!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sud_ran:
Installed the latest build and works fine.

Will post back after a day or two on battery and performance.

Thanks,

Sud
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
Thanks!

I'm assuming it will perform a little better, battery life may be a little worse.

I'm working on upstreaming the badass governor is a little bit, which would add input boost, and might make it a little faster, possibly at the sacrifice of battery life, but i'll have to do some testing. If anyone is interested in helping me test, please PM me with your hangouts email.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] boni7010:
Iam using the RLS21 ... so I need to know if I can use this rom without any problems...

thanks for your recommendations..... :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
You have a T-Mobile S4, SGH-M919, so you can flash this ROM

Only thing is Bluetooth is not working properly all the time

I would upgrade to the 4.4.4 Firmware, and avoid Ktoonsez kernel, last time I tried the AOSP one it wasn't stable for me, but maybe that's just me.

My built in kernel is the recommended one and the only supported one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
[MENTION=2734369]sud_ran[/MENTION]

How has the battery life been?

Also as I've been testing some of my changes to the badass governor,

It's a lot snappier than before, I haven't tested battery life.

I've also been hitting a snag, my builds are ending up as 13MB, so something weird's up.

I'm still trying to unify this device so all variants will be supported like [MENTION=5464206]AntaresOne[/MENTION] does in his Optimized CM 12.1 ROM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sud_ran:
Hi [MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION],

Thanks for your work.

Battery was perfect for me. Phone was perfect after installing the latest build. No unnecessary wake locks or alarms.

Device is in deep sleep when screen is off. With that battery lasted close to 23 to 25 hours straight.

With V4A, spotify and some gaming battery lasted about 18-20 hours, which is pretty good from my understanding.

Have been hit with "sim card removed" error for a while now so frequent restart kills the battery fast.

Tried some hardware fix but still a problem.

Trying to get rid of the device soon. Waiting for SD 820 so i can buy a new phone.

OP2 is bad..

Sud
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] javelinanddart:
That's awesome bro :D

Glad to hear it works well.

I managed to get a test build with my new upstreaming of the badass governor (the default one is badass, just fyi)

Took me long enough but I figured out what the issue is

I wanna finish unifying them first before pushing out another build via OTA, which is broken right now :(

https://www.copy.com/s/t:Mk2WpGV3cj....v3.3-20150813-OFFICIAL-jfltetmo.zip;oid:4030 is the test build. Do you mind checking out battery life and how snappy it is?

Personally I felt it was more snappy than before, however I just built it a few hours ago so I haven't had the chance to test battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sud_ran:
Thanks for link dood :p

Downloaded and installed fine. Booting now. Will report in 24 hours on the battery performance.

Thanks once again.

Sud
