The non-functioning of the proximity sensor is a bug

It is impossible for the ruling that throws the ROM with the proximity sensor or dust as a ROM stock sensor works perfectly and installing a ROM CM has this very clever and annoying error to a simple fact you end up aborting use ROM full of failure because essentially a simple phone call!

The application that you download from Google Play with this ROM does not work at all.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] zozoz13:
Try to reinstall the ROM with full wipe.

And if you still have the problem, i reccomend you go back to Stock ROM instead of reporting issues that none of us get it.

Low sound recorder volume

This issue was not present on the 10 Oct build. Now the recorder is not at all usable.

P.S clean install.

Faced the camera not taking photo bug again. But this time it was something different.

After a fresh boot, camera works good and takes photos. It'll take photos when relaunched. Now comes the bug part.

If I open some other camera using app like snapchat (it'll work obviously) and now when I go to camera I can reproduce the bug.

Second thing is that the music pauses for some milliseconds when "OK google" detection is on and google app is opened or notification bar is pulled. This bug was present in ancient builds, then it disappeared and now appeared again from last 3 builds.

Other than that, build is stable. Thanks Alberto :)

same here, sound still disappears like [MENTION=4964784]Spartan199[/MENTION] & [MENTION=5591982]kaisarito[/MENTION]..

clean install sound work, but if i use TB to restore apps the sound disappears and not return after a Reboot, FastReboot, Clean Dalvik or Wipe Data....

I am now trying to restore app by app to check which disables the audio, at the moment they are:

-PowerAMP (+ Unlocker)

-Youtube

-Xposed -> Compact Volume Pane

-Shazam

-Timely
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] braulio_holtz:
When you restore the Titanium, you restore the system apps? when you formatted (clean install) the sound worked, you did wipe data and system?

Hey guys having a really issue installing this rom, had no issue with 12.0, The setup wizard keeps crashing when installed. I click on language, network and then skip to not create a Cyanogenmod account and it crashes. There is no way to get past this part.

Did the usual wipe/format/cache etc...

Is there a way to disable the setup wizard or bypass it?

Samsung S4 i9500
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Samsung is providing them.

Camera Issue: i can stress my camera a lot without any issue, i'm starting to think that we don't have the same camera sensor :/

LED "issue": this isn't a bug, charging led uses low-power mode

Read FAQ to optimize battery. Greenify (better if Donation Version) will fix almost all wakelocks.

GearCM uses stock Samsung's mDNIe screen settings, so if TouchWiz 5.0 has vibrant colors, also GearCM 5.0/5.1 has them

Thank you for reporting. I'll fix it ASAP

Screen Mirroring uses software codecs so if we don't fix them also mirroring won't be fixed.

I noticed it too, i need to investigate further on it.

1) Read my previous reply

2) Uhm...could you please retry?

3) Known bug.

Are you using my suggested gapps?

[MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] MHL does not work sound on the TV, just the smartphone ... Video works normal after a while the screen (smartphone, after unplugging the TV) behaves strangely, but only restart it back to normal
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ZeroDrako:
No, wipe: data, system, cache, dalvik and internal sd....with Titanium, i restore only user applications.

But now i discover the problem...is not apps, it my device or drivers, i do this:

-Wipe all

-Install Gear CM12.1 (20150606) and Gapps (recommended, only base)

-Boot -> Sound Work (do nothing, do not install anything, just open the music player)

-Reboot 1-> Sound Work (do nothing, do not install anything, just open the music player)

-Reboot 2-> Sound lost (all) and not work again.

For some reason, i always do this:

-Boot (Sound Work) - Add google acount, download TB and Su, Restore A to M apps

-Reboot 1 (Sound Work) - Restore M to Z apps

-Reooot 2 (Sound lost)

for that reason I thought that the apps cause the sound lost

---------------------------------

Solved!!!

-Install 20150517 Build, and Gapps.

-Boot and Configure Google Account (optional)

-Install 20150606 Build (without clean previous version), and clean dalvik only

-Audio works!

Gday [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] I've had a few random reboots last few days running your latest build 06/06.

Just had reboot after opening link to youtube, phone froze just after video started and made loud buzzing noise for a few seconds then rebooted itself.

Phone was very laggy after reboot but still had sound.

I've attached last_kmsg and also screenshot from Bootlog Uptime log.

Yesterday's reboot occurred while phone was screen off, no apps open, not in use and on charger, and sound was gone on reboot.

I'm running your latest build clean flashed, with Delta 5.1.1 base gapps, Delta gmail + exchange, no mods, usual apps all up to date.

Thanks again for your efforts :good:

Hey bros, what are the bugs in the latest version?

Is it suitable for daily use?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Bruno_Tec:
It does work but it doesnt show the right colors because of a problem with software/hardware decoding .

Its a probem of aosp roms based on oficial cm so all unnoficial builds like gearcm, frapety and the ones based on them (like resurection remix, pac, etc , etc) will have this problem too.

Please suggest

Hello,

I purchased new Galaxy S4 just last weekend,

went through the all threads and almost read all OP and Last few pages of most of the ROM out here at XDA for i9500.

still not sure and totally confused about working ROM that i should go for.

Can anyone please suggest ?

and yes, please please provide the link for first time rooting and flashing CWM or TWRP for flashing ROM.

or should i stick with the Touchwiz rom, i have updated to 5.0.2 by the samsung updates. and all working except there is huge battery drain and heating problem.

Thank you,

Yogesh Dama
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] nthin.bhargav:
if you are ready to void your warranty you can always switch to custom rom.

And if you want touchwiz rom without any bloatwares you can flash PBB Custom rom. It is super smooth.

and if you need Note4/S6 Experience and some features you can flash Aurora Note4/S6 Rom.

if you need a CM based rom which is super smooth but no touchwiz features you can always try this rom and frepati's rom which is one at the same without major issues.

left to your choice.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] yogi.306:
Thanks a ton !!

Thanks a lot, i falshed PBB Rom, looks nice, i will try this Rom too by coming weekend. is S4 features like NFC, Screen Mirroring, Air gesture, Air view, palm motions, motions etc.. remain in this rom ?

and

is tht possible to revert back to 5.0.1 after flashing this ROM ?

Please suggest.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] mukeshbaidwan:
+1 same thing happens with my phone too.

EDIT: i reflashed the zip and now seens ok.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Mango Polo:
why did I have a feeling that flashing twice might help it work??

still working?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Ker0sine:
My phone cannot be charged. No, my hardware is perfect. Its software problem. I plug it with original cable and charger and it doesn't charges. Yes it's happens when phone is on. My computer can't see phone with usb. When i go in ODIN Mode its detects perfect.

I can't flash anything with your Recovery. I do factory reset, wipe everything, wipe internal storage. I flash another ROMs but when i am doing reboot there is no changes. There is your ROM with programs that i installed before. Phone charges for some minutes then connection with charger disappears again.

I flashed original ROM with ODIN.

P.S. Please destroy, erase, destruct, burn, eliminate phone dealer that u use. I spent many time to understand how to switch on screen while i speak with someone (Hold Home button). Screen is switches off by sensor when i try to do something in upper part of screen. Design is amewul. Stock dealer is the best.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Mango Polo:
I think Wipe Preload should be added to your recovery. Many people come from other rom types which, maybe, requires wiping the preload partition. I heard it brings a lot of issues if not wiped.

I dont know, maybe not for your rom. I might be wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Sloth.M:
Seeing as you seem to be the only one having these problems, we can all assume there's something wrong on your end.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] mukeshbaidwan:
Yes it is. First start is working fine.

P.S I don't stress camera that nuch but yes first start is ok forr me currently.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Mango Polo:
when we manage to fix voip I will start using this rom as a daily use.

cm is much faster
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] codybank_789:
Try Amputated v2 with voltaqe 11.8. Im using it and its speed is comparable to CM. Although you will suffer from some freezes and reboots.

Hi!Is There Any Update On This ???
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] braulio_holtz:
The nightlies not been releasedthe majority that made an unofficial port of CyanogenMod has some issues such as RIL (SMS, calls) do not work properly, CyanogenMod is still in development, porting some features of CM12.1, adapting the new API's, etc. .

I believe that in a month we will see a build CM13, but for now has no way to have a set date, there are simple features such as "Advanced Reboot" being recently added https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Settings/commits/cm-13.0

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] abhilash1in:
I flashed the stock firmware and .pit file using Odin as mentioned in the first FAQ. After the first reboot (immediately after the flash), the new OS is asking for an unlock pin. What is the PIN that I should I use?

Edit: Nevermind. Factory reset did the job.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] mukeshbaidwan:
Bugs

1. Cannot connect to camera after cache wipe via recovery.

2. Second time if you open camera the capture button works but wont take a snap and then greys out.

Unfortunately this last build has not been very stable. Facing following issues too:

1. While making a call sometimes speaker turns on bu the screen icon is OFF, i will have to toggle that icon to make it right.

2. I am using the Indian modem, sometimes while making a call the call tone or other person voice feels like if the audio is distorting.

P.S as always it was a clean install.

My Galaxy S4 has broken power button (causes fake boot loop and i can turn on my device even if I don't press it) so I won't be able to work on it until I fix it.

I need to find some money before I can fix it.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] mukeshbaidwan:
Yes I did. And I flashed it once again(few days after install) that seemed to fix the problem for a short while but it came back.

All i did was a cache(not dalvik) wipe.

The build before this was very very stable. But since this one was having l2hsic fixes so I switched to the latest build. but it is giving me issues.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] :
Hopefully it does not die of!this is the last of the best roms that are still in development and gets updated:( its frustrating lol seeing it die off!please don't go alberto:(
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] heichi13:
I flashed it once and it works perfect for me for a long time now. I only notice that it doesn't work when it is opened from another app like WhatsApp.

It's quite an interesting thought, but through [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION]'s guidance, I really have the perfect device now lol. I especially love how this build just works completely.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] rbaker91:
Hey, I had that on my s3. I fixed it by opening it and taking the button out. There's a couple of small "flaps" behind it. They get bent inwards overtime, u just pull them back to their original position. Theyre some kind of rubber so don't be afraid to yank them outwards lol or you can just buy the button and replace it yourself. Very cheap and easy, tons of videos on yt on that.

But that was my problem, if yours is the actual switch that is soldered to the board, there's no hope. Only a new board will make it ok. (I think)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Unfortunately the whole power button needs to be replaced :crying:

I don't have a professional soldering station, otherwise I would have replaced it by myself.

Tomorrow i'll ask my local technician (repairs lots of smartphones and electronic devices, should be experienced enough...) if he's able to replace it, and how much would it cost.

One of my friends said that it should cost to me more or less 60€ because it isn't really safe... :eek:

Actually I have no budget at all, that's the problem. :(

About the discontinuing question, my reply is "No. I won't discontinue my ROMs, but if my local technician kills my device then I would be forced to do so :/"

The power button here, in India, in the official service center costs Rs. 350, that's only about $6

Power buttons are generally cheap that's what I've heard
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
You're lucky. That's the price that you can find also online.

Official Samsung Service Centers here don't accept modded devices, they would replace the motherboard directly to make it official. Stupid Samsung.

Unofficial Service Centers like my Local Technician request minimum €30 (if you're lucky €25) just for the labour/manpower (for every kind of reparation) plus extra euros depending on what kind of reparation needs to be done.

i seriously hope android m doesn't suck up as much ram as lollipop.. errr that's if this device ever gets it...

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

Am sorry man... This is when you really need your device but i'd say you find another tecnician if your guy doesn't fix it for €25... seriously thats too high to fix a power button. i recently bought my device i9500 for around $120 although it was a used device with everything working perfectly... so €60 is just outrageous for a power button i think... trust me, you'll find someone who can fix it at a much cheaper price.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] SalimPS:
I had this problem before and it's a well known problem in s4.. it didn't cost me more than 8$ to fix in a local shop .. it's not hard to fix at all don't worry just take it to a local shop and tell them that the power button is stuck and they will fix it for you in less than 1 hour
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
I know that it is too high, but remember that everything in Italy is expensive.

One of the cheapest italian online service centers asks €30 to repair it, excluding shipping costs. That's the minimum price i can find.

Tomorrow i'll ask my local technician, and also some other shops. Let's hope that i find something cheap, but i really doubt it. Here almost all (99%) shops/technicians are "stealers". $hitty Italy.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Xenolith98:
HaHa..you've never came to Iran to see what is the REAL expensive...

You see, It was $1 = T800 / but after these F****** relations you may know,

Now $1 = T3400 / ... So calculate the $120 phone and compare it with the past,

Oh and the $700 Iphone :eek: (but still, every one has an IPhone ,maybe with the whole money of his two months salary :confused: )

I am saying ...... Why $hity Italy :o
