Hey guys,

I also had the strange BT WiFi issues. Clean install except extSD. I don't know why, but after the third or forth time flashing the rom all is working. I've tried different gapps packages during my attempts, one time without any gapps. Nothing helped and out of nowhere it works. Two things I did that I normally don't are that I tried to use file transfer with NFC during another attempt and don't switch the setup to my native language on my final install. But I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the fact that is now working.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] doum:
i don't think so, for me foldermount not working well because of this problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] smeroni68:
Thanks for your hint... we will try to understand why happen this strange behavior... it is strange because it seems a random stuff and using the same files...

Today at first attempt seems all it's fine. Bluetooth is working and also wifi no problems. Now i'm going to finish the installation of apps but all seems ok. The only thing i change is that during the initial configuration i set American English as language (as i read this worked also for someone before).. i don't know if it's this the solution but for me the rom now work great!

It' s not from cm, here' s the commit: https://github.com/AOSP-JF-MM/platf...mmit/fecab2fe920d70443ce2e8b5945c679423dc3524

Don't know if cm use the same settings!

Yes, all fs are correctly recognized and mounted, exfat and ntfs using kernel drivers, all the others are correctly mounted using vold and rom drivers

Foldermount does not work because has not been updated for MM, the problem it's not related to the rom but to the app, mount and write access works for all the fs in our rom.

Forgot to mention, I have dirty flashed and wiped cache yesterday, as after a "soft reboot" my i9505 would not come out of the boot animation. BT still not working. Besides the bluetooth not working, I am not seeing any other issues, i have used the phone a lot since i'm sick and bedridden and it has performed great.

I have also formatted using F2FS before installing this ROM if this has anything to do with it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] hammer7t:
Works now!

I don't have a good explanation either, but I tried a few times again and it worked after the third time. Not entirely sure what is going on here, SGH-I337 with gapps micro with full wipes each time (system, data, cache, dalvik), the only thing different is that I re-downloaded the rom, but the MD5 hashes were the same on the first and second download and matched what was listed on romhut...so this may not have been it.

Anyways, I tested everything including bluetooth audio (with incoming calls when music is playing as well) and I am happy to say the rom is stable so far....no wifi drops or crashes and gps works fine. SD card can be seen by apps that I use and LTE is fine.

Thanks JDC Team!

I have another question. Is there any way of getting rid of the horrible white background of the app drawer, without installing a different launcher? I have installed Nova and i'm happy with it, but the stock launcher was fine too, besides the white background.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FernBch:
I know it can be done with APEX launcher.

How did you update from 6 dec to 24 dec build?

I did:

Wipe system, cache and dalvik

Install rom + gapps

Bootloop after optimizing apps.

So I have no idea how to dirty flash it. I don't want to wipe data and restore using tb as it takes a lot of time.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] smeroni68:
Did you used gapps-mini-mm on 6 december install?

Note - my problem with open GAPPS was apparently aroma, as I am using Duelboot, and patching zips which use aroma doesn't work.

So far, after getting past that issue, I am impressed by the new release. I was able to pair Bluetooth devices, Wifi works fine, and External SD is accessible. I still have to toggle airplane mode on/off to get network connection however.

Nice job Dev's.

Is anyone else getting horrible stutter and noises when playing FLAC files? I am also getting some with regular mp3s, albeit not nearly as bad. FLACs stutter every few seconds making them completely unlistenable. I have tried playing with hotplug tuning, CPU governor, IO scheduler but nothing helps so it does not seem to be a CPU overload issue but some other problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FPSUsername:
I clean installed 6 december build back then with opengapps pico
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lemurm1n:
Listening mp3 and Flac musics almost all day, didn't have any problem, no stutter or noises even on bluetooth music streaming. Do you use stock player music ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Th3_uN1Qu3:
I was getting the stutters on all players. I have tried the stock app, doubleTwist and Shuttle. I'm also using Viper4Android but disabling that does not make any difference. I have installed Poweramp and set the audio thread priority to highest. It is a bit better but it still stutters every now and then.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lemurm1n:
What device are you using ? I'm using I9505, do you wipe data, cache, and system ? Your musics are on Sdcard or on phone ? If they are on your sdcard, try to put one music on phone and play it if it still stutter or not. Maybe it's a sdcard problem. That's weird that you have this problem and not me using the same device.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ralfbergs:
May I suggest that you specify in post #1 the specific GApps version (i. e. "flavor" and build) you are using in your own testing? And maybe even archive that version for us somewhere (unless the respective GApps devs "forbid" to do so) to make sure it will always be available?

Sure, I understand.

Maybe just coincidence? Just my opinion... ;)

So this is the different BT chipsets found in the different S4 models?

Best regards,

Ralf

If the MD5 hashes were identical then it is practically impossible that the files were different (you can only create so-called "collisions" by brute force, and even for the considered-obsolete MD5 that takes quite some amount of CPU power; collisions by chance are practically impossible, especially if you only have minimal changes between the two files by an error introduced during download). Even if they were (i. e. first download corrupt), then you would have seen issues extracting the ZIP file.[/QUOTE]
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FernBch:
The other option is:

I use the Dec 9 opengapps micro. I saved it on my SD card and always use it when I clean flash. I know not everyone likes the micro package but it is what works for me. As far as what it contains if they are older they will update through Play after boot. I can upload them to my Dropbox if people want that version. My experience has been if it works, don't change it. There has been much discussion about the effect which package has and I honestly can't explain what it is.

I guess what I'm trying to say is if you have one that you feel works, keep using it. It's just a personal preference thing.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Sebastiaanlabr:
I always start to say GREAT rom. :) Nice work guys. U make ur two year old devices running like a new one.

I have no problems with the latest release. Only xposed related things i gues. So i uninstalled Xposed.

Is the DOZE future fully working in this rom btw? =)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Th3_uN1Qu3:
I have i9505 too. Music is on internal storage. Rom installed via clean flash and formatted to F2FS. I was getting the same issue with CM12.1 optimized by JDCTeam and i was still on ext4 when i tried that. I also have the bluetooth not activating issue, maybe that has something to do with it. My baseband version is I9505XXUPOJ2.

With Poweramp it only stutters once every few songs and usually it does it a few seconds after i turn the screen off. No difference between flac or mp3 now, both formats play fine with just the occasional stutter. This also happens with my S2 on multiple ROMs so i can live with that. I have Skype running in the background.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] -Deco-:
Use the Xposed module called Xposed GEL Settings.

It's a STweaks related problem when the Alucard kernel is being used, this issue has existed since the Optimized-CM 12.1 builds, although significant progress has been achieved in order to combat the issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] biazoto:
I had the same with 06/12 build (first using alucard kernel).. It began to occur after changing the profile for extreme battery and change the voltage of the CPU. In current build, I chance only clock and voltage from GPU and read-ahead to 2048 from internal and external. All other configs are default and not happen that audio issue.

My device is 9505 and my songs are in external SD too. I'm using nexmusic player with viper4android

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rhoban:
Extreme performance profile, viper4android, poweramp. No music stutters.

My LED is permanently red. Could this indicate bad news? I should

say: my f2fs /data partition already showed I/O errors (and I had to repair

them with fsck.f2fs from recovery). Also, for some reason (even after

nandroid restore) logcat complains:

# logcat
Unable to open log device 'main'

and, indeed, there is no /dev/log directory. So, does the software perhaps wants to tell me something via the LED?

UPDATE

reboot and 'red LED' problem gone ... oh well ... sorry for my noise on the forum.

and OOPS I now see I posted in wrong forum, since I am on JDCteam AOSP LP (not MM).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] flroots:
I did a clean install with AOSP-6.0-20151224-jfltegsm.zip and open_gapps-arm-6.0-micro-20151225.zip. Everything seemed fine except when I attempted to pair the phone with the car, nothing happened. Also, while Bluetooth was enabled the WiFi status switched from Connected to Saved. Once I disabled the Bluetooth, WiFi returned to Connected. Also, I had to toggle Airplane mode on and off to get LTE.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FernBch:
You can try the below suggestion by smeroni68.

"For users that have problems with wifi/bt activation, try wiping all (cache/dalvik/system/data) and install just the rom file without any gapps package. A lot of times (and this is the result of many threads/posts), a gapps package has generated for unknown reasons some behaviours. The rom itself can be installed ALONE to check if the situation is the same or is different. If the rom itself is fine, you know for sure that the behaviour is coming for other reasons. Unfortunately we do not have the wizard christal-ball, so understanding why on our phones something is working and on other phones doesn't, is not easy... and sometime impossible."
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] flroots:
Thanks. I'll give it a try next opportunity.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DoughMucker:
For those having a "Setup wizard has stopped" error, if you give the Setup Wizard permission to your phone the error goes away. You have to slowly navigate to Settings-Apps-Show System. Scroll down to and select Setup Wizard. Then permissions. And finally the slider for phone. It's a pain, but solved it for me.

Last night and today, I've been experiencing A LOT of sudden shutdown and it takes a minute or more to boot it back. I tried removing the battery but my phone just boot on the SAMSUNG Galaxy Logo for 1 seconds then shuts automatically so I have to wait for a minute or more.

From what I observed, every time I use my Data both LTE and 3G it shuts my phone down. Also, When I don't use my phone while Data is ON the sudden shutdown also appear. This is my 2nd time to reflash the Rom(24update) and clear dalvik and cache(and Clean Install), but still the issue is still there.

Edit: Rigth at this moment after I finished my logcat the phone shuts by itself.

Love you guysssss! and Godbless

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lemurm1n:
I use a lot my 3G and LTE but never had shutdown. You're issue about random shutdown look like my issue i had with another rom (cm12.1) it appears when i press shutdown buttom shorly, in a few seconds the phone force shutdown by itself. The problem it's that the buttom still pressed even if i don't press it. when you hold the buttom, the phone force shutdown. When you try to boot the phone by the bottom while the buttom still pressed itself, the phone won't boot. You have to remove the battery and press so many time the bottom until be sure that it's stopped press itself, then put the battery and try to boot. So it's a material issue but no the rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chibbo:
I have simmilar issues with lte, after flash it works for a while then it just drops then i have to switch to 3g and back to lte to get it working again. another thing is that something used my monthly data package of 2gb over night but data usage shows only 45mb was used :s seriously wtf
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jhonlouieuno:
You mean hardware problem sir? Maybe it was just my phone, no luck. I think it's not my power button sir, there is some circumstances that I'm not using my phone then it suddenly shut itself. Anyways, I'm now on cm12.1 gotta need a stable rom for now because of work. But, I really enjoyed this rom. Thank you jdcteam! Love you.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FPSUsername:
How did you change it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] toprekmusic:
I think that is a kernel problem, and to be fixed by Alucard, that is why it existed in all of the optimized versions of all rooms using it... I had the same issue on optimized cm 12.1, and after flashing the cm kernel it was gone...

If anyone knows of any alternative kernels i could flash for this AOSP build, please let me know, I'd be very gratefull :)

Logs!!!!

Guys...it isn't helpful at all when you discuss about your experienced issues about two pages.

Use apps like syslog which are really easy to use to capture the issues and provide logfiles of it with much more precisely information to the developers.

That will help to make Roms better, not complaining without any usefull info! ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FernBch:

Personally, i use Greenify. It seems to help with the battery life significantly. The charging rate for me isn't really that much different from the Optimized CM-12.1 builds, it will take around 1 hour to charge the battery to full. The UI in this AOSP seems to be far more responsive however, than the CM builds. I'll use GravityBox for any other features which were included in CM, such as automatic unlocking when the correct PIN is entered.
