DDUHOA1

https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs...s And Bootloaders/I9500_DDUHOA1_MODEM_CWM.zip

I can't get the Russian modem to work on Aus / Malaysian carriers. Can't understand why, since XXU indicates international. Right?

p/s: Thanks [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] for putting a smile on my face. Didn't have to change batteries today.
[Galaxy S 4 General] TowersVault:
So I'm going to give the OTA route a go. How safe is it? Should I clear cache and Dalvik via my recovery after it has done the update, or will it download a file I would need to manually flash?

Edit: Sorry if I'm a noob at this, only recently started installing ROMs. :I
[Galaxy S 4 General] ernyldrm:
It did download a file that I manually flashed, in earlier versions. I don't know if it changed since.
[Galaxy S 4 General] NikoTrueno:
Latest version, same problem.

Just installed the latest version (20150910) after a complete wipe (even changed my MicroSD card) using GearRecovery.

I changed Data & Cache partitions to F2FS, as suggested.

Sadly, the problem still persists for me. WiFi works very well, with the screen on.

Somehow, I've managed to get response trough WiFi with the screen off.

This was by turning WiFi off, then on and before it connects, shut the screen off. The phone connects to my network and responds well to pings.

If I turn the screen on and off again, WiFi stops responding again.

Made a new long logcat file (link), right after the first reboot of this clean install (no gapps).

During this logging, I cycled trough WiFi on/off, screen on/off, the "workaround" I found to make it work, and even received a call.

Hope there's some helpful info on this log regarding this weird issue (at this point, I'm thinking that the problem might be my device, but seems illogical given the fact that the problem doesn't happen with other kernels).

Thanks again for everything. This ROM is really awesome!

PS: I don't know if you prefer this comments on this Q&A post or in the main post. So please tell me if you want me to post following comments there.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Alberto96:
I'll check this other log and let you know.

You're writing the post in the right place ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] heichi13:
Hey [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION], the new feature sure is interesting. Currently running 720p with Edge Enhancement turned on (values on 0).

Anyway, it's working just fine I assume and I can tell that there are improvements in performance. I'd like to address one issue that I've found so far - i.e. the recent apps cards are showing up 'zoomed'.

Thanks for the awesome update, bud.

[Galaxy S 4 General] codybank_789:
To be honest, i really like the speed of this rom, but there are many bugs that really annoy me. First is the audio bug, and sometimes after using apps like fb or soundcloud, the launcher redraws which makes the phone feels slow and laggy. If possible please focus on fixing bugs.

some help pls!

hi guys.. this rom looks perfect.. but i need some help.. can i install it with cwm philz touch6? i dont understand so much the gearcm recovery..can anyone help me please? i really appreciated :D or if anyone showme a video or tuto how to intall this rom.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dandemonic:
If you're on latest version of Philz it should work, if it doesn't work (for example status 7 error) as long as you've made a backup (nandroid) in recovery first, you can restore your original rom.

Up until a couple of months ago I used Philz on all my devices, but have now swapped to TWRP recovery as it's much easier to use than Philz, has better UI layout, and is actively developed and kept up to date, whereas development has ceased on Philz.

If you're not comfortable using GearCM Recovery I highly recommend you try TWRP recovery (version 2.8.6.0 is latest).

There are plenty of guides online and on YouTube for using TWRP to flash roms, or make backups. Once you're familiar with using TWRP you'll find GearCM Recovery easy to use as it's based on TWRP.

Recommend you also try Flashify app from playstore, makes changing recoveries simple, it's very easy to use, and it will also find latest recovery version for you, of Philz, TWRP and cwm.

Good luck, hope that helps :thumbup:

No sound!!!

No sound when alarm goes off! How to fix it?
[Galaxy S 4 General] xRekt:
To fix it you have to switch to another ROM. This ROM's developer believes a ROM whose sound completely disappears after a few hours is a "stable rom" (Read above) and so won't fix it.

This ROM is useful for playing around a few hours, not as a daily driver.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Alberto96:
I've never said that i won't fix it.

1) Due to school exams I don't have enough time to work on it.

2) It doesn't impact ROM Stability
[Galaxy S 4 General] dandemonic:
Try a clean install if you haven't already, it's working fine here with clean install.

Been using this rom for a while, as a daily driver. Last three builds of 12.1 I've not lost audio at all.

As you're a junior member it would be helpful for you to refresh your memory of the xda forum rules, in particular rules 2.3, and 2.5.

To save you time...

2.3 ** Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.

2.5*All members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mir Asif:
Can understand the frustration that audio bug creates and this single bug impedes in the way of using this rom on daily basis but that doesn't mean you should be disrespectful towards the developer.. Whether or not the developer is able to solve the bug still we should respect the level of efforts he puts in... No developer wants his work to be buggy but their are certain things which are not as easy as it seems to be... Gives him sometime to solve the issue and we wish him best of luck and even if he's not able to remove the bug we will never have any complaints and we should respect him for ever...

Hi bro, thank you for continuous updates and fixes.

I will update your latest Rom tomorrow, do am i need to change file system before flashing your Rom?

I can't find any hint or requirement on OP, but a few post ago some guy told changing file system may be good.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Alberto96:
Not required, but you can change FS to F2FS to gain more performance than EXT4. Remember that you can do it only with GearRecovery.
[Galaxy S 4 General] maltinbay:
How can i change, and if i change another Rom, have i any problem?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Alberto96:
You can change it using GearRecovery, Wipe Menu, Select /data, Change Partition Type. (do the same for /cache)

F2FS will work on all ROMs that have F2FS support, such as all GearCM based ROMs.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ivanchin99:
1.) My Gear Recovery doesnt install? I'm still on TWRP after flash. Is it because i'm on 11GB chinese partition table?

2.) Wifi seems to be not working when screen is off. Same issue as NikoTrueno i believe.

Overall rom seems to be stable, good job :good::good:

Phone suddenly shuts off

When I run a benchmark, like Antutu, the phone suddenly shuts off during the benchmark. Do you know the reason? It doesn't shut off when I play games like Real Racing 3 and Need for Speed.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Alberto96:
1) it could be, this is why I don't recommend it

2) it seems to be wlan chipset revision related, working on it.

It means that your phone reaches too high temp., maybe ambient temp is too high.

Hi, sorry for the noob question.

Finally i'm able to install gearcm. But why now my total storage only 8GB? I thought by installing custom ROM, all the Samsung's system will be wiped out, which will freed the 8GB that was used for their system. Now not only I'm incapable of using drama mode on camera, but also I only have 8GB of storage

And then anybody experienced this? Everytime I restart my phone, my whatsapp and bbm will be re-initialized. Before, I was backing them up with titanium backup, app+data, and then after I install this ROM, I restored them. But every time the phone was restarted, WA and BBM must be re-initialized.

Please help.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 General] kranti206401:
Do you imply the advanced features (kernel/rim level) that you have implemented in the ROM which are not CM standard..
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kbua23:
[MENTION=4107749]Heich[/MENTION]i13. U can download Phone INFO Samsung in playstore to check your bootloader.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Alberto96:
If you want more accessible storage you should flash 11GB PIT, but I do not recommend it.

About Camera, remember that this isn't TouchWiz, so you won't have all Samsung's features.

Maybe your restored backup is corrupted.

Exactly, mostly kernel related.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Al Gore:
Guys I am using some barebone rom 4.4. I bought a new battery and another SD card so I can finally update. Would you recommend CM (never used it) as a daily driver? I don't need games, just calls, battery life and sometimes camera. Right now my phone is only managing 2 hours of screen on time. Cheers.

Some positive feedback

Hi to all,

I clean flashed build from 10 September with open gapps mini and restored the previous USER apps with Titanium backup.

Running Titanium was a bit of a hassle as I didn't have write access to the SD card. Various attempts didn't work. Finally, the built-in solution of the app "SD maid" (free version) helped me solve the problem.

After first reboot, I was a bit shocked as I got the message "no SIM card". After a bit of fiddling with the settings, I found that the mobile connection (2G/3G) was simply not turned on. After turning on, everything fine.

I don't have any problems with WLAN, also not if the screen is off. Everything good. I don't have any problems with phone calls. Clear and stable. I don't have any problems when I use my Bluetooth headset (listen only, no phone calls).

The only minor flaw was that the screen sometimes suddenly doesn't accept any inputs anymore. Capacitive buttons work, but no screen input. Turning the screen off and on using r power button solved the problem. This happened 3 times within 3 days, so I don't call it a problem.

I throttled the CPU max frequency down to 1200 and the max GPU down to 350 as I live in Thailand and its hot here. Helps to control the heat of the phone.

Besides that, everything standard.

Additionally, I restricted some apps of keeping the phone awake or autostart.

Battery life is fine. Don't have any request for improvements.

Thanks for the work.

When I change the screen resolution in Synapse the recent tabs show very big/enlarged text in them. Do i need to do any additional step after I change the resolution.

P.S I changed it to qHD.
[Galaxy S 4 General] heichi13:
Unfortunately, some UI elements have issues due to the changed resolution, some elements being: recent app previews, boot animation (towards the end). You're just gonna have to get used to it.

Although, I have gone through a day on 720p and another on 1080p. I'd have to say that the performance on 720p is great. So smooth and I love it, but it seems that I keep getting an extra hour on battery when running 1080p.

[Galaxy S 4 General] body150165:
I am still running the build of 10September and am fine with it. However, I have a few questions:

1) Minimum brightness: For my taste, the minimum brightness is still too bright. No matter if I set brightness to automatic or manual, it is too bright. Activating the night mode gives the screen an ugly brownish tint which I don't like. I tried to change the 3 sliders in Synapse (brightness reduction changed from 75 to 40, takeover point changed from 30 to 10, auto brightness input delta changed from 20 to 10). But none of these changes didn't seem to have an visible effect. Neither as a single change nor if I apply them all together. I saved the changes in Synapse and rebooted but still nothing changed. Do I do something wrong? Then please advise. Otherwise it would be great to learn how to reduce the minimum brightness.

2) quick settings tiles. In CM11, they were programmed as toggles. For example: mobile connection tile let me change from 3G to 2G and vice versa in CM11. In CM12.1, the tile is just a link to the settings where I can change the value.

The same is valid for the system profiles. Is there a way to make them act as toggles or is it supposed to be this way in CM12.1?

Thank you for your help in advance.
