Problem partially solved...

Hi, Alberto96. Thanks Again for the help.

I have tried many places like the root of the external SD card ('/external_sd' in the GearCWM), within a folder in the root of the external storage card (/external_sd/GearCM), etc...

But i think I've got the problem. I transferred via wireless (but I think now that through wire the result would be the same) the files to the internal storage (/sdcard) and from there I've been able to finally flash the ROM.

So it is indeed a problem with the external SD Card or it's filesystem (which I have formatted from whithin GearCM in the storage settings and it didn't asked which filesystem type I would want to use). So I investigated further and found out that the card is formatted in 'vfat' is that the best filesystem type for GearCM? From GearCWM I've seen that I can format it to ext2, ext3, ext4, F2FS and FAT which would be better?

Now I am afraid that my files got corrupted in this new external SD Card....

Best Regards,

Hi Alberto, will the low volume from phone speaker be solved soon?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Alberto96:
exFAT is the best external sdcard fs.

It has been fixed lots of builds ago.

Hi guys!!

ICan u help me with kernel, I need to enable monitor mode on my s 4 how can I do that ?? HELP PLEASE!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Alberto96:
Pipcamera or Instamag (i don't know the correct app's name) is causing issues on your device.

Try to provide me more logs, this is the only way to know what is causing problems on your device.

You should contact bcmon devs.

Your post is useless without useful logs.

There are only two alternatives:

1) There's a software issue that doesn't appear on any log, but this is nearly impossible.

2) There's an hardware issue that, of course, you won't see in any log.

Now please stop spamming the threads.

Gallery problems

Hello

I have been using this rooms for 3 months and its work perfectly. However at the last build I have some problems. After the

Initial boot some of my photos and musics are gone. Do you have any solution for these? I've also already checked that my media scanner service is running and its running all day along making my battery life worse .

Anyway thanks for your effort :)

Is there any way to hear the audio in outgoing calls with "OK Google" detection enabled in all pages.

My device i9500 deep black. (I flashed the Indian modem to check if that created the problem but no)

On another note, about the separate Russian and Indian modem. The Rom already comes with a modem doesn't it? Why do we have to flash these if there are no issues with those?

Opencamera + gallery

I'm using opencamera app and new photos doesn't appear in Gallery until I reboot the phone. Anyone know why is that may be?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Alberto96:
Clean install and retry.

I do not support Third-party apps.

ROM doesn't have any built-in Modem, so you need to flash latest version manually.

there is bug in calls using LINE messenger (or another messenger "maybe"?)

when i'm calling using LINE, another person can hear me but i cannot hear them

the solution is use headphone when make a call, then you can hear what they saying

i found this bug from first build and this build still do same..

maybe you can make bug fix about this?
[Galaxy S 4 General] vvk222:
Figured it out. Just don't use opencamera setting "Use storage access framework". Choose saving location manually and everything will be fine.

[Galaxy S 4 General] dngr503:
First of all many thanks for this perfect rom.

I use GearCM rom for a couple of month. But in last build I've got the problem with mp3 files playing. Some files are OK, but someones cause music player crash (rom's default music player). I've also tried play files via Shutter+ music player and it just skips such files.

I do factory reset for an every update.

So, I tried to mount NAS shared folders on last build (with CIFS support), but receive another error: "invalid argument"

following commands were tested:

mount -t cifs -o ro,iocharset=utf8,username=XX,password=XXXX,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 //192.168.1.2/hdd /mnt/cifs/nas

mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2/hdd /mnt/cifs/nas

+ tried to mount via cifsmanager, with the same error

upd:

Please, excuse my fixation on this damn mounting :) Being definitely newbie in *nix systems, but don't liked to give up easily, I spent many hours by 'smoking' different manuals, and doing experiments with my devices. Unfortunately, in the end it still did not work.

Just in case, I decided to show results of 'strace' . This "Segmentation fault" error source isn't from the kernel settings? Any thoughts?

Weird data connection loss issues

First of all, thanks for all the effort put in developing this awesome ROM.

It's so much better and fluid than stock TW stuff, that my phone feels like a completely different device.

I just tested the latest release available (20150906, full wipes, clean install, no gapps) and I'm experiencing some weird connection related issues.

The problem is that my internet/data connection is lost as soon as the screen is off. Everything (wifi/3g downloads) works really good while the screen is on, but also everything stops working when my device shuts of the screen, no matter if it's after waiting the screen timeout or if I send it to sleep manually with the power button or double tapping the status bar.

The simplest test was pinging my device trough the WiFi network, and there is really no doubt about it. It responds to pings very well, but the screen turns off, and it stops responding.

I thought that it could be related to the WiFi sleep policy (tried all options), but the same thing happens with the 3G connection.

The only way I could find to remedy this problem was to install other kernel. Tried with Light Weight and Voltage, and both made the problem go away.

I installed the alternative kernel, tested that worked, then revert back to "stock" kernel and there it was the problem again.

I'm not a big fan of optional kernels, but for me, it's the only way I can use my device.

Thanks again for the hard work!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Alberto96:
1) There should be a screenshot on previous posts posted by someone (about battery stats).

2) Yes, press menu button while you're on homescreen and you'll see settings icon.

This is strange (nearly impossible). Try to record some logs while screen is off.

Anyway, this is a confirm that Deep Sleep is working perfect on latest build :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] diegolopez10:

[Galaxy S 4 General] Alberto96:
There's nothing useful here.

Try to follow this procedure:

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.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Alberto96:
This is GearCM, not CM. You installed a CM Nightly on GearCM, this why you broke all.

Wipe all, flash latest 20150906 GearCM build, and all will work.

Anyone having the a red frame while using Chrome?

It seems to be running in strict mode
[Galaxy S 4 General] NikoTrueno:
Haven't been able to re-install everything using GearRecovery just yet, but I discovered new behaviors with the problem.

1.- I waited quite a while for a response back trough WiFi, and sometimes, after around ~30 minutes, it starts responding again, but not always (last time waited a bit more than one hour, and it didn't responded)

2.- when the screen is off, the 3G connection works as long as WiFi is not connected (can receive emails and WhatsApp messages)

So far, that's the only problem I'm facing right now. I installed and configured most of my daily apps and it works really well. The annoying thing is to remember to enable/disable WiFi when I want to use my phone.

I tested with different WiFi networks (2.4 and 5 GHz, both work flawlessly with the screen on, both die instantly when the phone sleeps).

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S 4 General] rgshah3:
Yeah I agree, wifi response time is very slow

Even when I'm watching videos, after a point it stops buffering and even when I reach that point, it doesn't continue to transmit data

It just sits idle there

My better batt stats always complain about not having system rights. I flash SuperSU using TWRP to control root access for apps. This works fine for greenify but not for BBS
[Galaxy S 4 General] Alberto96:
I'll take a look at WiFi Suspend flags then.

I use it, but only for Greenify. It is working fine here. Remember that CM Sources updates could break some xposed features, that's normal, you just need to wait next xposed release.

About root issue, SuperSU is built-in on GearCM so you shouldn't flash anything.

Test this procedure to fix BBS:

1) Open SuperSU

2) Go to SuperSU's Settings

3) Uncheck "Mount namespace separation"

4) Check "Trust system user"

5) Reboot
