1) to reduce it you must set brightness reduction to the max, but remember that it will increase screen smearing

2) as far I remember that's the way it works on cm12.1

Try to wipe OTA Updates app data.

Search on play store if there's an app to test, maybe "Lenovo Companion", but I'm not sure that it works also on non-lenovo devices.

How the hell did Gear Recovery manage to format my microSD instead of creating a NANDroid backup?

Put new firmware on internal memory, booted to recovery, made a nandroid backup, then flashed new rom, pressed wipe dalvik/cache, booted - my SD card is empty! :mad: And my internal storage is missing several folders and files (like the rom file itself).

It may sound dumb but I swear I am good enough at tech to not format my stuff by accident.

installed latest build then rebooted. It said "root access is missing Root device?" after selecting YES it is stuck on the blue LED going bright and low(after the samsung galaxy s4 boot logo)

CWM installed. Never had any issue before.

yesterday when i went to sleep my phone charge 70% and i wake up and it turn off and i turn on phone cahrge 3% ???
[Galaxy S 4 General] Alberto96:
It simply can't, you did something wrong for sure. I'm pretty sure that TWRP (GearRecovery is totally based on it) developers are good enough to avoid this kind of issues.

CWM is outdated and remember that cross-posting isn't allowed on XDA.

Be sure that your battery isn't failing and that your phone was cold enough. Remember that high-temps could lock temporarily battery charging, to avoid battery overheating.

How to install GearRecovery?

What are the steps to install GearRecovery?

I am currently on CWM recovery and 10/09 GearCM and i want to switch to GearRecovery and latest GearCM but without any loss of data.

Plus I installed CWM from a tar using odin but I am not sure how to install gearRecovery using odin?
[Galaxy S 4 General] heichi13:
Get into CWM, flash GearRecovery.

Next time you boot into recovery you should no longer have CWM.

Are other people able to Clean/dirty flash it ??

I have 3 questions, hope someone can help me out;

1. Data toggle in notification drawer - is it possible to make it act like an actual toggle? For me it opens a menu with data traffic where I can toggle data on/off but I'd like to toggle it with a tap and open that menu on hold.

2. How do I edit silent profile? I want it to vibrate.

3. When listening to music with headphones if I get a phone call it rings with the speaker which has been annoying me since touchwiz 4.2. Is it possible to mute the speaker if headphones are connected?
[Galaxy S 4 General] sergio.vieri:
For no 2, you can set ring mode to vibrate.

[Galaxy S 4 General] arcopidia:
I am facing a problem for a long time and wanted to share hoping I could get a solution. When I am using my phone my lock-screen flashes for a moment and vanishes. I don't use any pattern in lock-screen. I tried a lot to figure out the prob. But couldn't. It happens randomly. Sometimes every second for 4-5 times sometimes once every minute and sometimes not even a single time in hours. Please guide me its very annoying.

Great Rom No not great Perfect

Thanks for Everything Alberto.

Im using your rom from the beginning cm10.2 if I'm not mistaken

And I know you worked&working very hard.

Everyday i check your github. You giving new life for our S4
[Galaxy S 4 General] Diego_Machado:
Hi, arcopidia. I'm having this very same issue. Haven't found a solution yet... :-/

But for me it is even worse 'cause I use a pattern... I have to unlock the screen every time. Imagine doing that, when it happens as you said 4-5 times in a row...

My guess is that it is some problem with the sensors, they "think" that you have put the phone away (in a table, for example) and lock the screen (even while you are typing).

When you move it, for the sensors, it is like you have taken the phone back, does that happens with your phone too?

To test, try to move your phone when the screens lock and you will see that it "unlocks" by it self.

Diego M. Soares

Camera

Not sure where I am going wrong. Camera seems fine after reboot, but if I use the camera at a later stage the problem occurs. When using the camera, you can focus, but when you try take a photo the app becomes unresponsive. Happens with both Google cameras as well as other camera software. Have done a logcat, but not sure how to attach.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Diego_Machado:
Hi, sergio.vieri. How can I do this? In "Config>Gestures" everything is disabled, is there anywhere else I can disable/configure it?

I have now three problems with this ROM.

- Flashing screen - Nothing seems to work on this one...

- SDCard (files/directories disappearing, no matter what file system I use) - I may have detected a pattern. The files disappear when I make a backup using TWRP. So, I think that it happens when the WTRP writes on the SD.

- Camera doesn't work at first - I need to open the camera, close it (from the task manager) and open again, only then it works...

Best regards,

Diego M. Soares
[Galaxy S 4 General] nitinvaid:
Okay its confirmed I have static noise. In what's app call. And some times when k receive call I can't hear anyone from other side
[Galaxy S 4 General] Al Gore:
TWRP formatted my SD card entirely and deleted a lot of folders from internal memory when I made a backup, so this happened to me too.

Also last 3 nights I've been losing 15% of battery (first night wifi on, second wifi off, third airplane mode on), have no idea why. I got greenify and amplify working.
[Galaxy S 4 General] heichi13:
New TWRP feature? lol.

Anyway, I've been taking my phone off charge every time I go to bed. I wake up with 97 - 99% and I find that reasonable. I have no stupid apps running like Google Now, Facebook, Messenger or stuff like that. Try to track what wakelocks are eating up your battery while you sleep, perhaps.

If you haven't done anything in Privacy Guard either, I'd suggest you do so.

Hi bro, i finally flashed your latest build and enjoying it.

It seems all good good except same minor bugs.

Charging led blinking when opening any apps, or randomly, it's all unimportant, but it cause you think your cable was unplugged :)

In first boot, camera app doesn't working (stock camera app and "a better camera" app), after a reboot, it works good.

Thank you.

It should "eat" more battery, because rendering is much higher.

CM Sources bug, it has been fixed. Wait next build.

1) I don't think so

2) Another user replied for you :)

3) Yes, enable privacy mode on Synapse.

Disable Ambient Display.

It's a feature, but i'll remove it on next build.

Yes.

Uhm...wait next build, it will have some of little fixes here and there.

1) ?

2) Working on it.

3) Working fine here even on first boot.

1) Working on it.

2) Is your Charger's current stable?

Haha, let's hope that it isn't a TWRP sources bug.

1) Known CM Sources bug

2) Working fine here on first boot.

There's nothing that i can do to help you, there's a workaround on FAQ section if you need to use VOIP Calls. I'm working with other Exynos Devs to fix it.

New build is up!

GearRecovery has been updated too, with lots of fixes and with new UI. Excuse me if you have lost something important, but i never thought that TWRP was so different from CWM. Now it is perfect, all features have been enabled and properly configured.

There are also lots of changes regarding ROM, full wipe is highly recommended.

Install this build with my new GearRecovery to be sure that all gets installed without any issue.

Enjoy :)

[Galaxy S 4 General] Diego_Machado:
Hi [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION], you are awesome, buddy!

Good to know that I wasn't the only one with the TWRP "formatting" problem.

Since I just bought a brand new 64Gb SD Card I haven't lost much, I was testing it yet (yes, I do that with every storage device prior to putting anything important).

The "flashing screen problem" I aforementioned was the same that sergio.vieri is having and you said to "Disable Ambient Display", but here it was already disabled (and all the sensors as well)... this is very annoying for me and the only really noticeable bug with this ROM. The bug consists in the screen locking randomly, for absolutely no reason and when it starts to happen it happens 4 to 5 times in a row. It is so damn annoying that I have thrown my phone into "places" (more than once) because of that... :-/

As for the camera, maybe it is time to a fresh install...

I will try this new build/TWRP and see what happens.

Best regards,

Notification drawer when device locked

The notification drawer can be pulled down and quick settings can be modified even when the device is locked. Is it supposed to be that way? My stock rom didn't allow me to even pull down notification drawer when device is locked.

Also, any permanent fix/work-around for voip calls other than that mentioned in the development thread FAQ? Is it being worked on, to fix it?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Al Gore:
I could do it in stock 4.4

In settings you can set it so most important toggles are hidden on lockscreen.
[Galaxy S 4 General] heichi13:
Yeah, but even with the tiles hidden, it still shows the Mobile Data tile. So, what's the point, really?

This is part of CM12(.1) and it sorta sucks to see that the QS and noticiation panels just lack the original potential. For instance, in most AOSP ROMs, clicking and holding a tile works much better and the noticiation panel is inaccessible on a locked screen.

Well, I installed this latest Gear Recovery and it doesn't wipe my SD Card anymore! But... it still have some issue with my SD Card. I was trying to make a backup before wiping the system to install this new build and everything seemed to be ok, I even used the "File Manager" within Gear Recovery after the backup to External SD Card finished (with no errors) to see the files under the "/external_sd/TWRP" directory and they WHERE THERE, but when I rebooted to system it wasn't there anymore... I used Android's File Manager to see the directories on the SD Card and the directory is there but it is like the directory was empty (although the space is been used and I know it because there is nothing on the SD Card and it displays only ~57Gb available when it displayed ~64Gb before).

I tried to see it from AirDroid and through cable but same results. When I rebooted to Gear Recovery again same result, nothing inside the directory.

Ps.: I enabled the "rw" option opening the Gear Recovery.

I updated from build of 10September to 20September with a clean flash and find that I can not change the file permissions with ES file explorer anymore.

I don't ask for solving the issue. It would just be nice if some members could check if it is the same in their system.

Oddly, file permissions are accessible via built-in file explorer.

Though it would be nice to cross-check. Thank you for your help.

Update: not only that I had this strange permission problem with ES file explorer. Later on, when I left home, I found that I didn't have mobile network anymore.
