Excellent work...

Always wanted CyanogenMod rom on my Galaxy s4, but there was never a stable cm rom available... I can understand the efforts the developers put in exhaustively to build these wonderful roms but these developers are limited by resources available to them and still the level and standard of development they show is commendable....

This rom is very promising and i hope a completely stable rom will soon be released... I will wait till that sound bug is ironed out because that causes a lot inconvenience... Currently I'm using "prism barebone" and this rom is almost 95% stable (even samsung with all those resources is not able to produce 100% stable roms) and I'm every much satisfied with this one... Bu CM has got its iwn beauty... My good wishes are with the developer....

Does this rom support f2fs ?

Can't login to my Google account

Hello everyone, I've been using GearCM for a year and few months now and have been following the threads without having more than the already known issues.

Today I tried clean flashing the 20150509 build (coming from Gear CM 12) with the Google Apps recomended in the OP (this ones). The phone boot and initialize the apps without a problem, but after the "connect to WiFi" screen, the phone hangs and then there's a pop up saying that Google Play Services isn't responding and return me to the wifi page, not leting me login to my google account.

I've tried with different GApps, I've tried skipping the login page from the first boot and trying from the settings menu too, but still having the same problem.

Someone that can help me with this?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] white7561:
Wipe your system first before flashing newer build with the gapps :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] oz_90:
Thanks for the fast reply. I already did that and nothing changed. Here's what I did: Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and format system. Then install the ROM and last install the GApps. I've done that for every time I did clean install, but never had this problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] white7561:
Try upgrading your bootloader to the latest version :) . maybe it will work
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] oz_90:
Finally on Gear CM 12.1

I tried updating CWM too but without success. Finally managed to get Gear CM 12.1 by flashing the 20150506 build. I don't know why, but that worked. On the 20150509 build, the screen after the wifi selection was the Tap&Go screen (and there it freezed and returned to the wifi page), wich I didn't see on the 20150506 build, maybe that was the error but I really don't know.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the help :)

And of course, thanks to [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] for the hard work :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Arjoni:
What bugs does the latest build have? except the bugs listed on the first post. thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
I'm really sorry if i'm not replying to any post but i'm pretty busy with exams and i need also to solve some problems regarding sources copy/paste issues. (someone knows what i'm talking about)

** solved ** just changing the bands to only 5ghz.

May you tell me how u killed l2_hsic modem wakelock

Im so curious where is the problem which file which parameter
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
I've created and implemented a fix (kernel side) that avoids it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Sloth.M:
I have, it makes it so the IR blaster won't work. Other than that it's OK.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ferchnando:
Hello mr. [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] in the latest build everything is running perfect and smooth but why google camera dont works? (photo sphere and panoramic) please i know that you dont support third apps but it is the best app to take photos haha, in blaquedroids rom i dont have this issue, you are the best, thank you and greetings!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] khatkhatik:
last build so smooth and super fast

but

the only problem i have is AC charge current (screen on) doesnt work

always charging with a fixed current

the device gettin hot when charging and screen is on
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] BeyPeople:
yes....

this is the main issue.... phone is very heat when phone is charging....
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] batuhur:
same here
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
I'll investigate on it when i have time.

I'll check it ASAP.

Ok, i'll reduce Screen-On Charge Current then.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] khatkhatik:
[MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] thank u man this build is awesome

I turned on airplane mode before sleep and battery was 75% and after 8 hours waked up and saw the battery is 75% woooooooooooooooow battery drain while airplane mode on is 0% :good:

but heating problem still not solved

now when Im restoring all apps with titanium the device getting so hot I checked cpu temp its 100 C:eek:

after I got a benchmark with antutu the score is incredible 35700 :cowboy: but cpu temp is still 100 c while gettin benchmark:(

when I was in touchwiz and gettin benchmark cpu temp never reach upper than 80C

I think somethings wrong with thermal parameter in kernel :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Benchmarks use Performance Profile, so you'll face higher CPU temps. That's normal.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] khatkhatik:
but when i restoring all my apps with titanium backup have this issue too
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Be sure that Titanium Backup doesn't use Performance Profile instead of Balanced.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] khatkhatik:
yep check it with synapse the governor was ondemand when temp was 100 C

I unchecked the profile per app in battery setting
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Uhm....i'll check if thermal boost mode is too high then. Max temp should be 95 C°, and not 100 C°.

UPDATE: Fixed, next build won't reach 100 C° on Balanced Mode so easily :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] tanqueta207:
Good build man! Now I have aceptable audio quality in 2G mode after your audio fixs. So, I'm back with your ROM.

Everything that I use is great till now.

Good job mate!

P.S: What about the new "wave" ROM version that I see in your download profile in https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=profile&uid=23043426517778566 ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Wave is another device, Samsung Wave. (Legacy Device)

Could you post your battery stats screenshot? I want to see the "awake" bar. I am on Euphoria OS and my device is awake all the time(literally).

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Ironwrung:
I'm getting a recovery error "E: Unable to mount '/system" even though I can still flash a rom and use the phone. I previously had another one which I used to ignore till, it cost me a new motherboard. E: Unable to mount '/dalvic cache which turned to E: Unable to mount '/efs and an eventual boot failure. I'm abit alarmed that it might affect the efs too and cost me yet another motherboard! I'm not sure what causes these errors because I don't flash my phone often.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Just do this:

1) Flash latest Stock ROM using proper PIT file

2) Root your device and flash latest TWRP recovery (or GearRecovery)

3) Flash latest GearCM build following the correct procedure that you'll find on first post.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Ironwrung:
I'm using the recommended recovery btw.

[MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] official cm12 is out for our devices. http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=i9500 Are you maintaining it? Is it based on your builds?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] tanqueta207:
I'm testing the official CM12 and my WIFI is not working...
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ferchnando:
is based in gearcm builds or frapeti?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] tanqueta207:
I don't know. It seems frapettis. The launcher is like his ROM, but I really don't know.

MY WIFI IS NOT WORKING IN THE OFFICIAL CM12 ROM.... Anyone else is testing it?

That build is broken, camera do not work neither.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ferchnando:
hmm i prefer gear cm device tree! frapetis rom is very buggy and official cyanogenmod too!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] tanqueta207:
I reinstall GearCM and now my i9500 is working nice again!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ferchnando:
gearcm is the best rom mate!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
I don't know yet, I'm still working on it, without luck -.-

Google for it.

Me and Ethan are maintaining it, and it is based on CM device tree plus some fixes (not all ones) that you can find on GearCM. It isn't based on Frapeti/MemAllocator, because they aren't updating their device tree on github, so they aren't following open-source rules.

It isn't ready yet, and when it will be I'll open an official thread like I did with CM11.

[MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] one problem seems to occurs rendomly, that is camera stopped work means there's no fc,but in camera when try to take picture sometimes it does not respond,camera is working but can't take pictures until I restart app.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Be sure that you don't have any background app using Camera.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] fAIyaZ:
OK I'll try. And give you comments, if there'multitasking camera won't work regularly???

about camera

Hey man [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION], superb work! Battery life is amazing in all your latest builds. Excellent work you're doing, keep it up!

About camera, there's three things I use everyday, GPS (Waze), camera and spotify :). As [MENTION=6817926]shethfaiyaz2[/MENTION] mentions, I too have had the problem with stock camera (don't have a third party app installed), I think I've seen it since your 08/10 build, when I open the camera, the camera icon (to take pics) is greyed out, effectively doing nothing (not taking the pic), the camera is engaged, no errors or anything, view changes to the camera app and you're able to change settings and everything, but, clicking the camera icon or even pressing power button (if the option to take pic with power button is enabled) does not work, you have to exit the camera app and re-open, then, photo is taken. This doesn't happen every time, seems to be random.

I did not report this before, because I have dirty flashed since 08/10. 08/10 was a clean install, then dirty flashed until the 08/15 build. Did a clean install of 08/15 and saw same camera symptoms. I know my 'bug report' isn't valid anymore hehe, as I have just dirty flashed again your 08/16 build. So, if I see this again, I won't report it, since I dirty flashed :(

Just wanted to let you know that this is something that seems to be happening, not a deal breaker, as the solution is exit the camera app and re-open and you're good to go.

Thanks for such a hard work and keeping our SGS4 alive and up to date!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Max Steel:

Hello people. I want to install this rom and i want to ask if someone has to use the gearcm recovery or i can just use the latest TWRP that i already use to flash other ROM. Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Sloth.M:
I use TWRP with no problems.

A confusion. ?

You provided a TWRP based recovery at first and then in install instruction you said rom should be flashed with a CWM recovery.

Now what recovery should I use?TWRP or CWM?

i am using version 20150811. ant hal service is eating my battery. i dont use any bluetooth device.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
I'll probably change Google Apps package, OpenGapps seems to create some conflicts here and there.

Known issues will help you.

Not recommended.

Dirty Flash = Ignored Bug Reports ;)

Let me know what kind of wakelocks are you facing.

Hibernate it using Greenify Donate version. Someone is using an ANT+ Device near you, and your device is trying to connect to it.

There are no issues at all on your log, except some "failed to suspend" error that could be caused by screen-on. Clean Install latest build, flash latest modem, and retry.

Alert: THIS ISN'T THE DISCUSSION/QA THREAD. THERE'S ANOTHER THREAD WHERE YOU SHOULD POST ANY QUESTION.

ONLY BUG REPORTS ARE ACCEPTED HERE.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
No :( If you're barely getting 1 hour and 30 minutes screen time, then your battery is faulty.
