Can someone please report what is working fine in latest build 0205?

There is still echo? (Yes/No)

Any battery draining, wifi battery draining?

How fast does it charge? (Fast/Normal/Slow?)

Does Doze works?

Camera works?

Heating is better now?

SD card works?

What about call quality & volume?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 General] krasCGQ:
It's CM bug due to a commit (but it's reverted) that no longer uses Google's key but instead using CM's key.

It could be bypassed by not installing Google's setup wizard or login with your existing CM account. Dirty flash from previous build works great, too.
[Galaxy S 4 General] zorlak:
Are VoIP calls working (without enabling all system sounds)? (Yes/No)
[Galaxy S 4 General] gp545:
1. Yes

2. It's there but not drains much faster though.

3. Charging is good, shows slow charging still but charges speed enough match with stock

4. I'm not sure.. I still have no idea what doze does

5. Of course, working

6. Haven't noticed big heating issue yet

7. Yes, SD card works but no write permission on some apps still

8. Call quality is same as last beta or maybe slightly better, overall no noticeable change..
[Galaxy S 4 General] invincible authority:
How did u do that?
[Galaxy S 4 General] husseinholmes:
Flash new google play store from open gapps . (Remember dont use pico version!! ... I used it and no quick settings after flash)

Use micro version and you wont have problem with quick settings bug

Voip seems to be working for me . But i not try it much more yet, but for me its working perfectly without echo.
[Galaxy S 4 General] invincible authority:
I was asking about increasing the mic volume. :P
[Galaxy S 4 General] yioulas:
You have to edit mixer_paths.xml in /system/etc

Find the Built-In-Mic section, if you scroll down there is a subsection "Volume"

You see a bunch of stuff, two of them are called digital volume and they are set to around 150. I set them to 200 but the echo gets louder too. I can't really use anything

else but samsung's stock because of the echo. I'm sure it's not a hardware issue because on stock there is no echo on earpiece and speaker volume even at full volume.

Echo cancellation is not working. I think noise cancellation is what cuts the echo as well. It cuts anything below a certain volume but it's not working. I have no idea how

to fix it since I'm not a developer.

Thanks a lot for testing the VoIP. I lost hopes to see this bug fixed one day and as I need to make VoIP calls everyday for me it's ... bye bye S4 and hello Nexus!
[Galaxy S 4 General] husseinholmes:
You wrong dude ... The latest updated rom version 0305 have fixed voip problem . Flash it and you can see it by yourself .
[Galaxy S 4 General] zorlak:
Are you sure?

1) both when receiving *and* making calls?

2) without enabling system sounds?

That's not what [MENTION=5410339]gylee[/MENTION] was reporting.
[Galaxy S 4 General] gylee:
I use 0503 also, but cannot hear anything if I make the call. Have you tested in both directions?
[Galaxy S 4 General] husseinholmes:
Ohh sorry i just test it several times and it seems to be true that voip is not working perfectly .. ( but when i call my mother (shes using lenovo stock rom) and all seems to be fine).. I think its some sort of bugs which idk what is it...

Anyone use virus kernel can answer me? The kernel is stable on this rom? How much SOT u got with this kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 General] eXd4:
You might want to read what Alberto96 has to say on this matter. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] braulio_holtz:
I'm testing this kernel, but have not seen the SOT, seems to be more stable, I'm having less (or nothing) random reboot ... You just have to keep in mind that will not be included all the improvements that Alberto may have made , as new builds may have some compatibility issue ... basically any problem by using a different kernel, can't be claimed here
[Galaxy S 4 General] Sylite:
Anyone have a workaround for the non-functional quick settings? I've looked through the previous pages and tried clean-flashing the ROM and pico-20160504 and then dirty-flash micro-20160504. Should I clean-flash the ROM and micro gapps instead?
[Galaxy S 4 General] husseinholmes:
Use micro that works for me.
[Galaxy S 4 General] speed s:
Yes you have to clean flash... I'm using the last pico gapps with clean flash and all working good... About 2hours SOT, that's not as good as TW rom but i think it's acceptable. No echo for me. I'm using the last bootloader and modem and as recovery i have the gear's one

[Galaxy S 4 General] padmamanikandan.p:
I am facing a issue here.

I installed gear cm13 and gapps and capos. After installing the ROM it was smooth I liked it very much. But later I came to when I tried to make a call after pressing the call button the started rebooting by itself and I tried so many times. But same result.

And hats off for the work. I liked the rom very much. Due to that problem I head back my old cm12.1:crying:. Please any one knew cause for this problem?

Is problem in rom or capos or gapps package?

I installed gapps mini arm 6.0 package
[Galaxy S 4 General] husseinholmes:
Maybe they is problem or bugs with capos . I'm using this rom for call and it works

[Galaxy S 4 General] Sloth.M:
Yeah, you're right about that. It came with a readme file explaining how to use the sources to build a ROM. I'd have to download the Android source code as well, and I'm sure i'd just be building a Touchwiz lollipop ROM anyways.

I'm almost sure he used some things from the already available sources, but (In the camera, for example) there are some drivers missing, for what I remember reading, they say "due to limited sources..." so.. maybe asking them directly is a way to make everything much easyer for the devs in general.

[Galaxy S 4 General] mennims:
I was thinking, maybe OP can include the Ultra Power Saving found in the S5 for the S4. Just a little bit more customizable. For example, you could change the limited apps we're allowed to use, so we could use Whatsapp with it. It's be a nice all in one switcher. It could make the screen grayscale, lower brightness, change max cpu clock, only use mobile data when requested by app, change cpu governor, no haptic feedback or LED on capacitive buttons. Maybe not even the notification LED just for the extra 4 seconds of battery life in total xD. Just my idea

I want to flash OpenGapps, and it's says the ROM should support "AOSP TTS".

> https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Notes-for-Android-6.0

Does this ROM support this patch?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Sloth.M:
I don't think Alberto will ever be adding new features. He is only porting cyanogenmod for us. What you are asking would be a huge amount of work, and since Alberto has a life outside of rom development, I don't think he has time for more than small bug fixes. Especially since he's not getting paid for any of his hard work.

If you want new features, you'll need to ask the cyanogenmod developers.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mennims:
I believe this feature could be made into an app. Not implemented into the rom. Oh well guess I'll have to make it when I finish C++ and move on to Java.

Just flash it anyway. Only valid if you're using custom installation using gapps-config to include or exclude certain apps. For safety, keep Google TTS away from being excluded.

Hi guys, I want to share you some tweaks to make the ROM a little bit better than before. It just simple Init.d script. Changes I made:

* Screen calibration

* Increase Earpiece volume

* Disable l2_hsic wakelock and set GPU clock to 480 (will give you better battery life)

* Set charging input current to be the same as Stock ROM.

Download HERE

Just put it in /system/etc/init.d and set permission to rwxr-xr-x.

A possible solution to overnight battery drain

I used to have 20-30% of overnight battery consumption, or 3-5% per hour. In BetterBatteryStats, I saw a lot of wifi-related wakelocks such as wlan_rx_wake, wlan_rd_wake, etc. After digging around(here), I found the problem came from various broadcast packets in my LAN. I have some windows PCs and routers sending out broadcast packets every few seconds. My I9500 somehow kept picking up these packets and thus held a lot of wakelocks. There might be some tweaks to "android_kernel_samsung_exynos5410/drivers/net/wireless/bcmdhd" config params, but for now I just add some iptables rules to filter out these unwanted packets and it works for me:

/system/bin/iptables -I INPUT -m pkttype --pkt-type broadcast -j DROP

/system/bin/iptables -I FORWARD -m pkttype --pkt-type broadcast -j DROP

You can also filter out multicast pkts by: /system/bin/iptables -I INPUT -m pkttype --pkt-type multicast -j DROP

I'm not sure whether the iptables binary is installed by default. You might need to install busybox.
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
Can we manually enable OTA updates whenever a new unofficial build comes out? Or we need to wait for developers to enable it?

And which xposed do I need to install?

By the way, this is a great ROM, I've switched from this ROM's 20160305 build to another ROM, and now I'm back at 20160526 build, I'll see how it performs and will give info. The last gearcm build I was on was too buggy (gave me FC), battery-draining and restarted 3 times a day, but it was really fast, and performed as the best 6.0 ROM for i9500, as close to a daily driver as it can get. I hope this 20160526 fixes many issues that I've had before.
[Galaxy S 4 General] LironImaN:
Clean installed latest build (2605) with OpenGapps mini package, and the battery drain is a huge problem.

In BetterBatteryStats we can see the alarm called "com.google.android.gms" drains the battery so much.

Is it related to the Gapps? should i try another package?

Any fix?

Please help. :o

For those who are wondering about GearCM 13 current status, just take a look at this README: https://github.com/GearCM/android_device_samsung_i9500/blob/cm-13.0/README.md

Also, remember that latest public build is this one: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24566454284189781 (20160526), and i won't provide any changelog because there are no major device specific changes here. Just update your previous build to this one and enjoy.

I'll keep you updated on all future updates, great changes are coming soon, maybe in the next few days if the time allows me to work on it.

Keep following my threads, and my YT Channel (GearLabs, link in my Signature), to stay tuned!

If u use xposed framework and install apps like greenify etc.i think battery life could be improved. But sound distortion, VOIP call and camera bugs are the real deal with gear cm13. So wait for some fixes by developer before you update from cm 12.1 to cm13.
