Everything works fine! The only issue i have is low volume on speaker while listening music on Spotify, other music apps like Google Play Music or AOSP music app have normal volume.

Thank you so much for your brilliant and amazing work for our beloved I9500!!!

Installed GearCM20150830 yesterday morning. Everything works.

I had a restart when opening music player but after restart it works fine. It streams music to car stereo. Camera is working well, had no camera problems like with previous versions of official CM12.1
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] mukeshbaidwan:
Just install the "proximity fix" from play store. I had the same issue. Its fixed now thanks to proximity sensor. Now the screen lights up instantly as the call comes.

Cheers!:good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] SoulSmasher:
I was using it with TeamCanjica, but for this version it didn't work at least for me. I'll clean install and try again just in case.

Help

I have 16gb internal storage but with custom rom i only see 8 gb of it, why so?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] kabir_sharma009:
That's because Samsung only grants access to 8 GB storage space for user data whereas the rest 8 GB is restricted for Bloatwares. You can use 11 GB PIT file to repartition the internal storage and extend the user accessible area to 11 GB. I'm not sure if this is recommended as i haven't researched about it yet.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] brunotux:
11 GB Pit File is working fine for me with this rom. But of course when you resize partions you lose all data there.

And I think here is the wrong thread to discuss more about this theme :P
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] batuhur:
Latest version is very stable. Good battery life with HDPI minigapps. Waiting for VoIP calls fix.

And my Snapchat videos are very pixilated, does any one else has the same issue? (Like stories etc..)

And [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] you said that battery led is fixed in latest build but it isn't fixed for me, still very low brightness. Clean flashed with latest TWRP.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ptahend:
Did some more testing with camera today and the instability is still there. There is an app called camerafix cor CM camera problems. Will this work for this ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] gvicic:
I can confirm the wifi connection issue reported a few posts before. DNS problem related apparently.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
New build is coming.

Battery Led is buggy with latest CM sources, so sometimes it flashes without any valid reason. We need to ignore this little bug until it will be fixed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] SoulSmasher:
Thank you!

By the way, is the lag of proximity sensor lighting up the screen late, during an incoming call a known issue ? I have this issue only with your rom, screen lights up late during calls, and this frustrates me to be honest.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
There are lots of sensors changes on latest CM sources, so i can't be sure if it is ROM or CM Sources related. Here it takes maximum 2 seconds, so i don't know.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] SoulSmasher:
Thank you for the fast response, much appreciated really :) I'll try the newest build when it's available then.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
I forgot to say that latest build should also have camera stability improvements for users facing some issues.

Help

I eager to use this ROM but sudden disappearance of voice call is bothering me, the basic need of any. pls let me know, this bug is fixed. known issues do not state this. pls help. i always do clean install.

I have camera error on 0901 build :(

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
If you read latest 5 pages (more or less) you'll find the answer.

Then something is using camera in the wrong way. If, after doing a clean install with all wipes, camera doesn't crash then you have a third-party app that is causing issues.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] gvicic:
I did a clean install with full wipes. I have installed Open Gapps 31/08 stock.

Enviado desde mi GT-I9500 mediante Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
As far i remember Google Apps stock version overwrites CM's stock camera, that's probably what is causing issues. I recommend to use "micro" package.

wifi 5Ghz not working at all (working fine at previous version).

any workaround?

regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
It is working only with networks using Band A. If i enable Band B and Band C, there will be issues with the whole wifi system, due to a stupid aosp bug.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] unmanarc:
but working fine in the previous version I had (30/8/2015). I think is another bug (not the frequency)

also, if you try to change band to 5ghz (WiFi->menu button->Advanced->Wi-Fi frequency band), it appears to be changed to 5ghz, but no effect on scan (still scanning on 2.4ghz), and if you go back to the advanced settings, it will say automatic instead of your previously selected version (5ghz).

regards.

UPDATE: somehow i managed to fix Band B & Band C with that fix....amazing.

NFC not still working (01-sep-2015 release)

Hi [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION]

Since past few releases my NFC is not working, tried android Beam and 3rd party apps, Logs do show some Initialize error , donno what it actually means :silly: .

I tried posting a logcat ,message might have been lost cuz of the traffic :cowboy: on this thread.

I am again posting a logcat here (Full Logcat). Please have a look at it and advice on the next steps to be taken. :)

State : Clean install (FULL WIPE , ROM + GAPPS) and nothing else, not even my apps from titanium backup

Modem : OD4 (From OP)

Command used for log :

adb logcat -v long > c:\temp\nfcissue.log

Steps for issue reproduction :

1) Freshly booted ROM (first boot)

2) Toggle NFC from Settings->More-> NFC Switch(Set it OFF)

3) Reboot Phone

4) Start Logcat to capture data

5) On Booting finish go to Settings-> More-> NFC Switch (Set it On)

6) Stop Logging.

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
I can't until XDA Build Server gets fixed. [MENTION=5343869]NBruderman[/MENTION] is the only one that can create mirrors because he has a pretty good connection.

There are no errors about NFC, so there's a problem at your end. Have you tried with Stock ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Mango Polo:
built in music player lags or even freezez if hit play from within ap. if from widget , it is ok. if installing third part player, sound fx doesnt make any effect on sound.

and also my purchased Skvalex Call Recorder stopped working after falshing this rom after Stock.

where to look for the problem? and also Screncast doesnt record sound if settings are changed to record system sound.

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

and one more question. I am sure not many of CM users notice this thing, but for me it is important. Is it difficult to make Video being recorded using both microphones not only main? It is a pleasure to record videos in stereo sound.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] h1ddev:
The headphone amplification on Synapse never worked. I thought all the time that I was the problem, but nope. Is working on custom kernels that uses Synapse on Samsung Roms.

So, I think that is a problem with the implementation on this rom/kernel. Equalizer and speaker amplification is working fine.

Catlog gives nothing about that problem.

And btw, great work! I really appreciate all the efforts (:
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
About the first 3 bugs, please provide a log. About Camcorder, i'm following AOSP convention, that doesn't use Stereo format. (working much better on CM)

I'll check Headphone Amplification path then, but i'm not sure that it will work on non-stock based ROMs.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] kabir_sharma009:

Unable to use stock music player.

Additionally, IR Blaster doesn't seem to be sending the right response code. Already checked multiple settings with Peel Smart Remote and anymote. FAQ section mentions that this is an issue with the application but the application appears to be working fine with TW based ROMs.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Sloth.M:
It's working fine here.

A fresh install should help. But if you don't want to do that you could try turning airplane mode on and off, rebooting, and maybe using the Q&A thread linked in the OP.

mp3 files not playing at all on latest build.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ferchnando:
jmm i use phonograph and everything es working perfectly!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] rbaker91:
My experience with latest build

* Although Bluetooth calls are now working perfectly (great job fixing this BTW) playing songs thru Bluetooth only worked for a short time, then it stopped working after sometime. When you press play you will hear the song for a second on the Bluetooth device then it stops and plays for a second on the phone speaker and stops. Phone gets real laggy and reboots. - trying to get a log. - already reflashed, no avail. - used 3rd party mp3 player

* This issue has been with me since some prior builds: Phone will sometimes get laggy and do a reboot but its a weird reboot. Almost as if I were doing a soft reboot.

If I'm playing a song the cm boot animation will appear and the song will continue to play and then stops to play and reboot continues. No GALAXY S4 screen appear on this reboot.

When the phone has this "soft reboot" Bluetooth stops working and doesnt detect simcard and will not work again until rebooted.

I have a log of this and I will upload when I get home. Used to happen often on previous builds, on this build however it happened only after the Bluetooth bug I mentioned above started to happen.

Using latest build clean installed and no modifications made on synapse.

----------

Update:

I forgot to mention this and I would like to know if anyone else has this: on most of my reboots (even the commanded ones) the phone comes back to a "android is upgrading" as if I had cleared the dalvik cache

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] fuser1337:
I can confirm this.

There's even this kind of reboot when your apps are updating and you're doing work on other apps, and it takes a reboot.

Technically, phone refuses for a load.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] fuser1337:
Stock music player freezes and couldn't play song. When I try to play song, it freezes and fc.

Google play music plays songs, but the song list is pretty much strange. Fails to load proper music tags. like album art, and artist name.

Album arts doesn't load even on stock music app.

You gotta let it settle

EDIT: [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION], scrolling is very laggy

Guys I have a problem with my phones recovery mode. Actually my phone does not go into recovery mode. I think my recovery partition got broked but I don't know how to fix. When I try to go into recovery mode, it just reboots. Btw now phone stuck at Android is starting dialog. Sorry I don't have any logcat or some additional file to show log.

I tried to install cwm recovery again, but it didn't also work. Any help would be great.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
1) Thanks for reporting, i'll fix it so that you won't see an update alert anymore

2) With device startup, do you mean after first boot? If yes, then it's normal.

3) Where are you facing lags? Could you give me some examples?

You need to flash a recovery using Odin to fix it.

i was using another rom and now I installed this rom and had sim detection issue,cannot connect to camera issue and music playback issue...........had to return to the previous rom :( I have hod4 modem and I wiped dalvik cache,cache,system,data and also preload.....
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
If you're having music playback issue then you're not running latest build, that's impossible.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] rgshah3:
2) Lags for a minute after every boot

3) when I scroll through whatsapp chats, my twitter timeline or just scrolling through pages on Chrome

A slight slag

The scrolling is not smooth, it's a bit rough, skipping a few frames here and there
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] souvikdas92:

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Uhm...this isn't normal. Could you provide me some logs? I can't help you as is, because it could be also an external bug, caused by some third-party background apps.

Opened it just now and it gives and error, rebooting doesn't fix it

That's the confirm that there's something wrong at your end :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] rgshah3:
Umm, RR was also built on your sources

Camera doesn't work there either

Just got a random reboot

Can't grab the last_kmsg, synapse crashes

EDIT: I'm sorry! Clearing the camera data fixed the camera. Sorry to cause the inconvenience

Still can't grab the last_kmsg though
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Synapse doesn't crash here, there isn't any lag too, so there's something wrong for sure at your end.

Do this (using latest GearRecovery):

1) Wipe All including internal storage

2) Change System/Data/Cache partition type to EXT4 (even if they are already EXT4). If you want you can also choose F2FS for higher performance, but only for Data & Cache.

3) Flash Latest GearCM build

4) Let me know.

Do i need to do a clean install or just a dirty flash would be fine?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Clean Install. Next time check MD5 before installing ROM.

Installed Stock TK Gapps package, Google Camera and Google Keyboard didn't replace the Stock/AOSP applications. Log file indicated that Gapps installation couldn't replace the existing applications as it was a dirty install (which it wasn't).

But i would have to agree that Google Camera isn't 100% compatible yet.

This ROM seems to have no undervolting support. How do I undervolt the cpu without changing kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
No. Try to use a download manager like FDM (on PC) or ADM (on your smartphone).

Maybe TK package isn't properly configured to overwrite system apps, but i still do not recommend it.

You can't.

On the latest build (04/08).

All the music related bugs are fixed. ROM seems much more stable. Didn't face any random reboot yet and let's hope I don't have to. Any soon at least.

I really admire your continuous work on this ROM making it better.

Thanks Alberto.
