Are snapshots usually posted regularly each month?

I'm currently using last month's snapshot, but I have the itch to install a nightly to see if battery life improves, and...well, just because.

However, if an updated snapshot is coming soon, I'll obviously wait.

My apologies for the newb-like question, but is there ever a summary of the changes/improvements made between each snapshot? I know we can check the nightly commits, but there are so many listed it can be a little difficult to follow what has been changed, why, and what impact it will have.

Micro usb->Ethernet adapter

Hello guys!

I bought this adapter http://www.ebay.it/itm/Micro-Mini-5...826476?hash=item5681f9e92c:g:JngAAOSwLnlWoD44 but I think it can works just on a tablet, do you know if there is another kind of adapter for I9195?

Regards.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Th3Sh3r1ff:
It usually is released about once a month.

So i guess in the next few days there will be a new snapshot.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Th3Sh3r1ff:
The new snapshot is more than welcome, because battery life has significantly decreased when compared to nightly.

Wifi is draining the battery, anyone else has the same problem?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JimmyRay:
Are you using a nightly currently?

I'm primarily interested in trying a nightly to see if battery life improves (discussed here[url].

However, I also gather than AOSP roms for our devices offer better battery life too.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
I have the Wi-Fi issue on the snapshot too. Here's my last battery stats

I did have the option to search for Wi-Fi connections even if Wi-Fi was off enabled. Still, this issue didn't occur before so I'm not sure what is going on.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] IronRoo:
Thanks for that, hadn't seen that post.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Th3Sh3r1ff:
The latest nightlies did not have the issue with Wifi, so battery life with the latest nightlies is better than with the latest snapshot.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JimmyRay:
I'm not sure if this is related, but I previously saw WiFi in my battery stats, despite it being disabled. Then I noticed that the WiFi Scanning option in the Scanning settings of Location was enabled (despite Location checking being disabled), and this seemed to WiFi appearing in the battery stats.

Again, it could be unrelated, but I wanted to share my experience, just in case.

Cheers,

James
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Th3Sh3r1ff:
Had the option enabled in nightlies, but no issue with Wifi in battery stats.

Switched to snapshot after the issue with SD card in nightlies and problem appeared.

So it seems to be an issue that is fixed in later releases and hopefully the fix is integrated in the next snapshot.

root problem

hello,

I have the 6.01 cyanogenmod (snapshot 0316 version) running for 2 months now, sweet!

Only problem i can't get it rooted, cause i want to modify file gps.conf, cause it is slow in fixing.

(use to be quick)

I've set in dev. mod root on app and adb, wiped cache and rebooted in recovery a few times, several days, but can't get root.

Is there already a sollution for this problem?

thanks.,

Peter

If using cm file manager did you enable root access within it's own settings
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] vampires.remembered:
I've dirty installed cm-13.0-20160525-NIGHTLY-serranoltexx which is no longer available... somehow gapps got messed up and had to reinstall, should i expect other issues?

Anyone else installed this version? So far it seems to be... ok.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] M1chiel:
I saw a tweet passing from CyanogenMod about this. There was an error in this particular nightly that messed up with the gapps. It will be repaired in the next nightly.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] vampires.remembered:
Thank you for the info. Someone has to test and fail. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ptr1968:
hi Smeagal,

Yes i turned it on in app own settings as well, but get an error while doin it; "fail, not rooted"

tried with paid version of Root explorer and Es file explorer

Hello, I got two "ghost" notifications today, on 0524 nightly - phone played notification sound, vibrated, but when I unlocked it no notifications were present, no sms nor mail arrived :) Never happened before, anybody else with something like this? Or am I being haunted? :D
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JimmyRay:
Yes, I tried to do this last night, but Root Explorer prevented me from overwriting gps.conf by complaining that /system was read-only.

I checked GPS on my 9195 yesterday against a stock Xperia SX. Wifi and data were switched off, just GPS satellites used. The Xperia locks within 10 seconds or so, however the 9195 never locks.

I was considering copying the gps.conf from the Xperia SX to the 9195, however there were many differences in the file so I was concerned that something may break. Alas, I never got that far due to being unable to overwrite the gps.conf.

I'll need to investigate further.

I'm curious as to how CM13 creates the gps.conf - is it generic, or does the rom modify some strings to set the correct servers for the user's location?

Cheers!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] supachris:
I changed the gps.conf using FX with root plugin. Of course you have to remount the system partition rw first. FX can do this for you. With the german servers the fix is a little faster.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] toppits:

Works for me. Needs root obviously.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ptr1968:
root

On my nokia 620 i usual have a fix 3-5 seconds.

Now I can get a quick gps fix on ths s4 mini;

In the cyanogenmod 13 the gps.conf file is set agps on North America, thats why i got a poor signal often, now i changed it the file to the Netherlands and it working rapid.

thanks to:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JimmyRay:
I'm now using Mixplorer to edit gps.conf, it works really well.

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

Hmmm...is the gps.conf actually required?

I just tried renaming the file, restarting my phone, but GPS still works just as well as before, even without an SUPL server specified.

I think I need to research this a little more.

Connecting to fibit alta

Dear all, first like to thank the developer for the different CM that was done all this while. Really appreciate it.

Recently i am using a fitbit alta, but the fitbit was not able to pair with the phone. I am using cm13 latest snapshot.

Am wondering if anybody has encountered the same issue?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ptr1968:
But did you clear the cache?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] luisbraz:
28 nightly with latest xposed. All ok until now.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JimmyRay:
Do you mean AGPS cache?

If so, yes, I cleared it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Jbb3393:
Recently flashed this rom and I would have to say I like quite well, but as almost every other rom for this phone it does start to skip/stutter when screen is off. Since I use this phone as my music player at home it is really starting to quite piss me off. Has anyone approach this issue? Would love to solve it, I as well have tried changing kernel settings here and there but the stutter comes back. Any help would be appreciated. I do run viper4android as well and honestly can't stand to listen to music with out it so it's kind-of a busy have for me and this device.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
What device? The 9190 and 9195 was never sold in the US, so I assume you're using another variant? The US variants have slightly different hardware, also audio, so that might be what causes it. Or it could be something with viper4android.

Personally I've never had any stuttering on my 9195. I don't use viper4android though.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] :
I only had that problem with a particular nightly. Since then I haven't experienced any stuttering with the screen off. I've been running V4A for a long time now, I think since CM 11, and music playback with the screen off has always been smooth and flawless until that one hiccup recently.

When I had that hiccup, I upped the minimal CPU frequency to 810 MHz (standard kernel). That solved the problem at that moment for me. Battery usage was a bit higher, but acceptable. What V4A driver are you using? And have you tried compatible mode instead of normal mode? Have you undervolted the kernel? Perhaps you can try another music player (I use Neutron).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Jbb3393:
Strange, I'm running the latest... well damn, suppose I'll have to keep trying things till I figure what works for me. Thanks anyway [emoji4]
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] :
I edited my post a little as I wasn't done yet. A case of a feeble phone keyboard and pressing the wrong button. :) Maybe my addition can offer some help.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Jbb3393:
No undervolt, the high quality driver, and I pay for Google music so no chance in trying a different player. In the mean time I've changed a few kernel settings that seems to help but eventually it always seems to skip. I'll try comparability mode next... what kernel you using with this maybe I'll try that
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] :
I use the kernel that comes with CM 13. The only things I've changed are the I/O-scheduler (cfq) and the read ahead (4096 kB). Do you play music over WiFi/mobile data or music stored on a memory card? Maybe it's related to the connection? Or you could test a different memory card? I use the second best driver btw, don't know what it's called. It's not the high quality and not the battery saving one, but the balanced one. You could try another drive, because perhaps the phone's hardware is not suited for the high quality driver.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Jbb3393:
I only play over Wi-Fi. For the record I have had this issue with any rom except for touckwiz roms but I refuse to use them. I just switched to a overclocked kernel and three songs in and no skip yet so hopefully that'll help too. Will also try your I/O scheduler. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] misscandy:
CM 13 works perfectly for me. I have only one e issue. With stock rom the soft keys (menu and back) light up only if I touched them. Now they always light up if I touch the screen.

I really hate it, can I fix it? Maybe with an app...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] terho:
I actually went back to stock to see if it handles the battery percentages any better. The attached screenshot shows my youtube test on the latest Nordic firmware, and the faster drop at the end is clearly visible. There might be a difference when it starts, 30-40% for CM and 10-20% for stock, but it still happens and of course it's rather annoying that your gas gauge falls way faster when you're almost out of juice.

So I guess my question is, is there any way for me to create my own lookup table for voltage vs percentage? Or is this even something that could be adjusted in the CM kernel? And, most interestingly, are there S4 minis out there that DON'T have this behaviour?

Also, I guess I'll be going back to CM since the stock rom didn't really help. Any "known good" nightlies?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] terho:
That's in the settings. I forget where, but it's definitely there because I set them to always light up when the screen is on.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ptr1968:
root problem solved

hi.i saw today : battery 75%--maps for 1 hour +LTE+gps .after 1 hour the battery dropped to 25% and it was extremely hot so scared that i turned off the phone for 5 minutes....started the phone -battery 12% and in the matter of minutes dropped to 6%(i noticed that the gps was on so maybe this 12-6% was normal)....but all the rest is supposed to be normal?

thanks in advance to the person who can give me at least an opinion.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] misscandy:
No, in the settings I can choose

- always on

- a timeout

I want a timeout but I don't want the keys to turn on everytime I touch the screen (with stock rom they light up only if I touched them). For now I set the light off but I don't like it very much

Another thing. Why when someone message me on telegram I don't see their contact photo on the lockscreen? My boyfriend see them (but his phone is an Asus, maybe it's different)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ptr1968:
I'm using navigation (Here) regular, also 2 -4 hours sometimes, and it can get hot, but not extremely hot, i put it normal on the car charger.

1 hour without charging that drop is normal with a 1 or 2 year old battery .

You can try another map app, i heard mapfactor is a bit lower on power.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
AOSP or any custom ROM's I'm aware of doesn't support that unfortunately. I asked the CM developers years ago if they could implement it, but they just laughed. :(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
LTE, GPS and also wifi tethering are among the most battery intensive things on a phone. If the phone gets extremely hot, that indicates that something is putting stress on the CPU cores. If they run at constant high speed, the phone will get hotter than normal.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] misscandy:
Gross...

I "solved" turning off the light at all and set a vibration
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] misscandy:
Hello again

Someone knows why the Google search bar disappeared from recent apps panel? The only thing I did in these hours is download and set Floatify (i tried to remove it but nothing changed).

It's not a theme fault because I tried to change it. I reboot the phone, too.

Suggestions?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] vampires.remembered:
What would be the point of lighting the keys AFTER you press them? The point is to see the keys when interacting with the phone, to show where they are.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kabelgleichung:
I also have this annoying issue with snapshot 2016-04-18. Strange thing: It even holds when my phone is in flight mode... Was this fixed in a recent nightly?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] vampires.remembered:
I see your point, I never thought about it that way. Another check box wouldn't hurt, I'd vote for it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] IronRoo:
Yes, I think it's fixed on nightlies from a while back (can't find the post confirming this as searching "wifi" gives error, though "wi-fi" search shows results but no confirmation)

Maybe try this

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67117855&postcount=1524

Strange thing is the above "fix" now means my phones battery life is back (almost?) to what it was on CM12.1. Even before wi-fi problem showed up on the battery stats and everything looked normal I was only getting about 3/5ths of a day of battery life whereas on CM12.1 I was getting a full day. Now it's back to a full day with my typical usage after above "fix". So I think there must have been some battery drain from wifi that was not showing in stats as even while the wifi was showing at nearly 50% of battery I was getting about the same battery life ......... or maybe it was just apps not working well with wifi or something that was causing drain.

[MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] are you planning on implementing Gello in nightly builds?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] IronRoo:
Yes, I have been thinking to go back to nightlies (as they seem very stable) even though I can't afford my phone playing up at the moment due to work.

ALso I had first reboot on snapshot over the weekend, tried to start the camera from lockscreen for the first time which locked up then caused reboot when I tried it again, while I think the camera/pop up screen was still locked in the background (I suspect it was due to camera trying to load the "open with" pop up option. It was offering Macrodroid or Camera app, but now that I have selected "always use camera" it seems to work fine as I haven't been able to reproduce reboot) .
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kabelgleichung:
I moved from snapshot 2016-04-18 to nighly 2016-06-03 yesterday. The wifi battery-drain is gone, so far no other problems.

How can I use "Gello" browser ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] milouk:
Either you download and install gello apk from the internet or arco might implement it in our nightly builds
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] IronRoo:
Well I did it, back on nightlies and all seems to be working great, very happy with the incall volume and the fact I now have lastest security patches. And battery is looking good .... so far! Yes, a new snapshot is probably only 2wks away but I flashed it anyhow, couldn't wait.

Only issue I had was the weather widget, the Play store kept saying the CM Weather Provider app wasn't compatible with my phone, I tried a number of things rebooted, downloaded Yahoo, AccuWeather & WeatherUnderground apps but it still didn't work. I finally got it to work by deleting the weather widget that was already there and putting a new one on the home screen, suddenly I could download the CM Weather Provider app. (though it should be noted I also had root granted to apps at this point but don't think that was the reason it suddenly became compatible on the Play Store)

I have got the same issue and i think it has to do tha you cannot touch and hold the screen for more than 4 secs...for example when i try to record a snapchat video by holding the circle on the screen the video stops at 4 secs but whenever i use the volume buttons to record a video it records full time...i also did this experiment woth an app from.my drawer ...i touched and hold it for like 5 seconds and then it acted as if released my fignger from the screej which i did not..so i have come to the conclusion that the phone doesnt recognizes touches more tha 4 secs.

On the CM download page I can see that serranoltexx is supported with CM 13, but how about the i9195XXUCOE4 or xxucoe4? It's also a GT-i9195 mini LTE.
