Hello,

My default network provider is always switching to Rogers, I manually switching to Videotron but it's switching again to Rogers; what should I do to fix this?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SilentEYE:
I am the user who started up the cm issue.

The guys from CM team fixed it after one year and many users worldwide are really happy now.

But I realised that some custom roms don't "sync" this fix the right way.

For example mokee aosp rom works fine, but official blisspop rom still had this bug when I tested it 2 weeks ago.

really strange!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annunneo:
Is there a way to get the cm theme engine in this ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angelcalibur:
No... Hard thing to do and I don't want. I prefer layer.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] droidblitz:
Will keep my eyes on it.

Thanks for it.

I have noticed something.

When im using the phone browsing the net using tapatalk and chrome it really gets hot fast.

And when i open clash of clans the battery percentage drops fast also whenever it gets too hot. :D

Thank you.

Hi,

I've installed the ROM, but something is wrong. I can't seem to get it out of the lock. The screen remains black. Sometime I manage to get into the lockscreen but as soon as swipe the unlock-thingy my phone locks up again and the screen is black. As if some sensor detects a magnet and locks the phone again.

I can't use my phone at all at the moment. Does anybody recognize this problem and know how to fix it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
No such issues here. Definitely something at your end. If you think something is blocking the proximity sensor try cleaning it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Skatespeare:
That's what I thought. I just took my phone apart, cleaned the proximity sensor using this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0XDkRITMkY , but still no luck :( Any other sensors I might have missed before I put the whole thing back together?

By the way, I had an issue with the stock rom about a year ago. It kept switching to the S-cover view. That's why I installed SlimKat 4.4.4 back then which doesn't have that feature. These issues seem to be related.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Backe888:
Maybe a partially jammed power button. Does it turn on by itself when you put in the battery? Also, since you already have disassembbled it, try turning it on without connecting the sensors, that way you can be sure its not them.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mmatic10:
I'm curious about the latest build...is it with optimization? Does it differ from the previous build only on lack of alucard kernel? (besides the new tweaks included in the latest build)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Skatespeare:
No, that's not it. It works like a charm on Slimkat 4.4.4. The issue (re)started when I installed 5.1.1

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angelcalibur:
Hi!

All build (with stock and alucard kernel) you can find in this thread are optimized!

Some member use xposed with my build.

Just remember that xposed can made the build unstable...

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angelcalibur:
try the battery with your game, to see if it's better than with cm kernel.

But remember that all device need 2 or 3 cycle of charge to fix battery stat and consumption.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] droidblitz:
Yes will do. Thanks again for your work and effort :D

I consider alucard kernel better because of the option to undervolt the kernel.

With cm kernel the cpu temp go up to 76°C and sometimes while switching between apps it goes up to 79°C

Install any TW rom (like Albe v5 for example), boot once, full wipe and install this rom again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] grandoth:
EDIT: Before you read all of this. I think I fixed it (leaving it in case anyone has a similar problem).

I attempted to clean flash SlimSaber-jflte-Alucard-5.1.1-20150903.zip (moving from SlimLP-5.1.1-20150725-OPTIMIZED-jflte.zip). Before doing so, I changed /data, /system, and /cache to F2FS using TWRP-2.8.7.0. I don't remember seeing any errors. After rebooting, I don't get to the boot animation. The screen blanks and vibrates twice before returning Samsung splashscreen. It cycles about every 20-30 seconds. I noticed in recovery that the /cache and /data partitions returned to ext4 after failing to boot which was suspicious (and when I checked after install, before rebooting, they remained f2fs.

I've tried returning all to ext4, just /system as f2fs, and quite a few other combinations. I noticed that sometimes the GApps install is failing, and sometimes not. After starting the phone and wiping /data, if I unmount it and remount it, I can install no problem. Otherwise, the GApps.zip install fails complaining about empty space. If I unmount and mount after the failed attempt it is successful. But the same ultimate outcome.

I tried going back to my previous build, and even Slim-jflte-4.4.4.build.8.20-WEEKLY-8140.zip (the build I was using long ago) with no luck. Note that the old build, shows Updating partition details.../Unable to mount '/data' if I do not unmount /data and mount it again manually between the wipe and the install. If I continue on and attempt to install GApps, I am not able to mount /data at all unless I reboot to recovery. Starting the phone normally results in the same behavior as above.

I also tried restoring my backup made with TWRP. However, I did not backup /data, because I was trying to clean up my phone and backed up the files I wanted manually; perhaps a bad move...This also results in the same behavior.

Doing some searching on similar results (other phones, and versions though), some suggested manually formatting the block (e.g. mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p*) with the terminal. Any comments?

I'm beat. I will try to post some logs tomorrow. Any suggestions beyond the TWRP log?

Oh, and one more question: is standard TWRP 2.8.7.0 (twrp-2.8.7.0-jfltevzw.img) the right recovery? I keep seeing TWRP "2.8.7.0 F2FS" and sourced from places other than the TWRP website like it is a modded version.

I forgot to mention that I had tried to repair the /data partition but it failed. After I wrote the above, however, I realized that I had only tried it when it was returned to Ext4. So I formatted back to F2FS for all 3 partitions, repaired, and then sent back to Ext4, and success! It is booting. :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreiav:
Have you tried flashing the stock firmware? That's what I would do.

Flash stock with odin from sammobile.com, make sure it works fine, and then start from scratch with TWRP and so on.

This should fix any non hardware related issues.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] grandoth:
Thanks for the suggestion. Of course, as soon as I posted, I thought of something I hadn't tried :o. You can find it in my edited post. Thanks again!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tronje:
Is there a change in this rom that might affect memory booster? I tried alucard and stock as well.

I always used memory booster & cpu monitor.

But since one week (or so) the app doesn' show the running processes and can't clean the memory. I tried some other apps with the same result: No!

Or do I have to change any option for using memory booster or do you know a well working alternative?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] grandoth:
So as I mentioned above, I was able to install the latest alucard. However, I found that only /system ends up f2fs. If I convert /data and /cache to f2fs before installing, I get a reboot before the boot animation. Then on the second boot, the boot animation plays followed by another reboot. Then it finally makes it all the way to Android. At the end, /data and /cache have returned to /ext4.

If I only have /system f2fs or all ext4, /systems ends up f2fs as expected, but I don't get the odd 3 boots I described above.

Am I doing something wrong in my conversion in the first place? I was attempting to have even better performance as some have stated. Perhaps it is a symptom of the previous problems I was having. Maybe I should odin stock and try again...:confused:

EDIT: I tried changing /cache to f2fs after a successful boot. It got all the way to android and then it rebooted. After the second boot, it was /ext4 again. Note that I confirmed f2fs was persistent through a reboot to recovery after converting.

Assuming you mean the hardware buttons backlight (brightness is in the notification pulldown by default). Settings>[Personalization] Navigation>Hardware buttons>Backlight.

I'm not sure what you mean by the recent light

% in for the battery display of the status bar is Settings>[Personalization]>Status bar>Show battery percentage

BTW, one of my favorite features is the search icon in Settings. Really useful ;).

Try the Betterbatterystats app to find out what exactly drains your battery. I guess its(as it is mostly) the Google Play Services keeping your device awake.

To fix that go to Settings(Einstellungen)->Security(Sicherheit) -> Privacy(Datenschutz)

then click into Google Partner Setup, 3rd Party, Google Play Services and other Google Stuff

and set "keep active"(Aktiv lassen) to "ignore", same for "Autostart".

Do the same to all other services you deem to not needing to stay awake, like gallery, camera, games etc.

Then restart your phone to make sure and see if it has any effect.

This is strange, I can't get into TWRP (the F2FS modified version). Haven't had this problem at all before. Whether I select Reboot>Recovery or totally power off the phone and hold Vol+ and the Home button while I power on I get the same thing happening: Just the Teamwin logo for ages and ages until the phone eventually reboots. Into the same thing. So essentially I have a recovery bootloop. I just wanted to get into recovery to flash the latest build. I tried flashing CWM recovery then reflashing the modified TWRP zip file but the same thing happens. I haven't ever had this problem before, it's mega annoying. Any ideas? I really don't want to have to go all the way back to stock and start again!

The only way out of this bootloop is to boot into Download Mode (Vol- and Home) then select cancel and the phone boots normally. But I just can't seem to get into recovery.

EDIT - I just tried installing the latest Non-F2FS TWRP recovery and it exhibits the same behaviour. But if I install CWM recovery it goes into the recovery but I can't access any partitions as they are all formatted to F2FS, only the SD Card! So I'm stuck.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Backe888:
Hmm, strange, seems like your TWRP is somehow broken. What version do you use?

You say CWM is a temp. Did you try a permanent one? Does that install? If not then the memory storing the bootloader might be damaged.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gordonthegopher:
Well up until now the one from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347763625

Had no problems until today. Now I can't get into TWRP whichever version I have installed, it always hangs on the Teamwin logo
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DVDeus:
Did you try to install stock ROM via ODIN and then TWRP again via ODIN?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gordonthegopher:
I can permanently install CWM but it won't mount any partitions as they are all F2FS. I was able to format the Cache partition back to EXT4. But when I flash the AntaresOne modified F2FS TWRP, it still won't go into the recovery menu, just hangs on the Teamwin logo. Looks like I'm going to have to go all the way back to stock and start again. Not happy.

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

The modified AntaresOne recovery is only available as a flashable zip file. But there must be something specifically halting any variant of TWRP. I'm away from my main rig ATM but as soon as I'm back on it I'll have to go all the way back to stock and start again. The most annoying part is I can't even take a bloody Nandroid backup of anything as I can't get into a recovery that recognises F2FS.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FlanjeUK:
You could try using Flashify to download and install the latest official TWRP, I've been using 2.8.7.0 without any issue's since it was released.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gordonthegopher:
Trouble is, I tried that and installed a couple of different versions of TWRP but they all exhibit the same behaviour.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tiuro:
Exactly 100% the same here, after trying a few versions of TWRP, I installed TWRP app from google play and it says that I have still the same TWRP AntaresOne 2.8.6.0 F2FS.

My TWRP broke when I have some errors after update to the 09/03 build and that's why I tried to update to 2.8.7.0 (but 2.8.6.0 managed to updated to today's build but I couldn't make backup, so then I tried to update to 2.8.7.0)

I'm using my phone but I can't get to TWRP, I need to use that trick with download mode to boot a system.

Now I'm going to go to sleep...

BTW Should we make wipes (cache + dalvik) before updating TWRP?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gordonthegopher:
I'm going to go back to stock later in the week then install AntaresOne's modified F2FS 2.8.7.0 and do a clean flash of the latest build hopefully that should sort it out. I'll update once I do.

Had some issues with the previous build (aulcard version) - 0903. Did a super clean install (Odin TW > recovery > formatted internal SD > install ROM & reboot > install GAPPS and reboot).

Had some random reboots + one that was definitely Bluetooth related (was in the car connected to the handsfree, phone started ringing and when I pushed answer on the steering wheel, I saw the SlimLP boot logo).

Will try a clean install (not doing the whole hog with TW) with the new version, BUT, with stock CM kernel as all the previous ROMs i've had were aulcard ones so time to give something new a go.

Will try to remember to get logs! But a bit difficult when this is a work phone and I'm going from one thing to another...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tanivula:
Woo, the new version seems super smooth! Awesome work team, will keep an eye on reboots, fingers crossed this is resolved!

Sad if it is related to the aulcard kernel, but seems there's a lot of tweakability with the stock kernel using the kernel auditor.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DVDeus:
Hi.

I am testing this new version; before restoring apps via TB, it looks like sleep mode works. Now the fun part begins.

Two functionalities that I would like to have (and maybe someone else):

-pattern security to have 4x4, 5x5 and maybe more net options

-when unlocking the phone (home/power button), I would like to see pattern net to swipe the pattern; now I have to tap/swipe to get the pattern. It is a bit annoying, isn't it?

Thanks again for delivering new builds!

I have now loaded TWRP 2.8.7.0-F2FS by AntaresOne, but am still having the same problem. After loading Alucard 0907, the /data and /cache partitions return to /Ext4. A few data points:

-/data conversion to F2FS in my case must not be wiping the internal sdcard as /sdcard is unchanged after installing the ROM.

-After converting /cache to F2FS, I copied a file to it within recovery so the partition didn't seem to have any errors.

Any pointers would be appreciated. I'm away through the weekend so I won't be able to Odin to stock for now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DoughMucker:
Changing between F2FS and EXT4 was finicky for me. Following a tip in this thread from someone else, I backed up the existing filesystem in TWRP, renamed the backup file and md5 to the desired filesystem (e.g., system.ext4.win becomes system.f2fs.win), changed the filesystem to f2fs, and then restored the newly renamed backup.
