It is true that HDR mode is not working 100%. For best HDR results, get SnapHDR from the Play Store.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] _-M-_:
Tried it and don't like it. I don't really need "true" HDR, calculated from three different exposures. I need the TW stock cam to work on optimized JDC! ;)

I am looking for a cam app that takes one-shot-hdr and has a decent lighting i.e. exposure algorithm. I was hoping for CM snap or AOSP to do that. Alas, such is life.

Any chance of fixing the Aroma installer so I don't have to download the apps separately?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
What do you mean? Everything should be working in aroma.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] _-M-_:
The installer only sets up the AOSP cam, no matter if I tell it otherwise.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
You are not able to install the Snap camera in Aroma? I selected both and they were both installed successfully. If you open AOSP cam, you have to go to Recent Apps and swipe it away before opening Snap. Otherwise, when you try to open Snap cam, AOSP cam will open instead.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] _-M-_:
Nope, don't work for me:

Just now I did a clean install again, selecting "CM cam only".

Result: AOSP cam installed, nothing else.

Call recorder?

Using this rom since last night and so far works great.

I'm missing call recorder so please could someone recommend it to me?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mattgyver:
What version of the s4 do you have? The SGH-I337 doesn't have call recording feature :( Doesn't matter what dialer you use. There are third party apps you could try.

I9505 here, Meizu camera app has some troubles (pink screen, freezing). This did not happen on previous release. Personally, i do not like stock camera (bad autofocus). Other than that ROM works perfect

Compared with stock rom, I'm noticing much weaker wifi signal on this rom.

One big question, flashing the last build in a dirty way, mean that I maintain all the installed software and account and app details, or this is impossible? Cause my problem is to reinstall all my apps cause I use micro SD as internal... thank you very much. If it will be so I try to dirty flash it, actually have installed the one of the 05 November

Another question, what are the optimal and minimal settings of stweaks to have a 8 hours battery? The one on the first post is actual? Thank you very much.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
That's very odd. Initially, I had both cameras installed. I just reflashed ROM and selected "Snap CM Camera Only" in aroma. I now only have Snap camera installed (no AOSP).

Here is the definitive app you want. It does cost a few pennies but it is 100% worth it if you want good 2-way recording even over bluetooth.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder

Wipe only cache and Dalvik (not system) then flash the latest build in the OP and reflash Gapps all before rebooting. This should retain all of your apps, settings, and data.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mecava:
Hello all.. I have done a clean install this morning and xposed framework gives me a bootloop when i flash it.. I tried to clean dalvik cache and no results... This was my method of install.. I reformated file system all off it except external micro SD card to f2fs it was ext4 i belive before.. And i did a clean install... Before i made a backup of data, only apps and stuff you know, and after install i restored that.. But that backup was made on ext4.. And returned to f2fs maybe thats the problem.. Xposed was on previous system.. But evetithing from the backup seems to work instead od xposed..

When i remove xposed it boots normally
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Simonbz:
Perfect I'll try, I'll try to install the two cameras too. This is indipendent from using the microsd as internal memory, isn't it?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Did you flash Xposed v87 which was just released this week? It solves the bootloop problem you described.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mecava:
Yes i googled it a bit and discoveref that i was on 86 version, and that my xposed installer was some 3.0 alpha outdated. I downloaded xposed installer 3.1.1 apk and it auto downloaded latest frework and installed it from twrp... Btw the normall type of framework install doesnt work it gets a error but recovery way does.

And i woold like to say that this rom js verry good fast and it has a very good battery life and no high heating like a lot of other roms.. No major bugs yet.. Nice work guys

There is one thing that i like on nougat roms status bar.. I have android n-fly and nougat status bar.. But the transition betwen qs with 1 row and a second one with 3 rows is so soulless with no animation like in nougat :( and i really dig nougat way

i am fully working on optcm14.1 stay tuned
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mecava:
I have tried cm14.1 from jdc team and retourned to this.. Its buggy, camera is fixed doh but its overheating seriousley and baterry life is bad, when its on a charger and in use its so hot u can barely hold it for long cause it burns , icons are missing randomly..whatsapp listening to recordings blackouts the screen.. Calls sometimes doesnt turn up the screen after end of call.. it will take time probably.. But its verry fast..its super fast :D .the fastest that i tried and i tried them a lot.

About that whatsapp bug when i move screen up down with my finger it doesnt turn off.. Maybe it can help you.

Sorry for the oftopic..but when u are mentioning it :)

As long as you can reboot into recovery you should be able to reflash. I would check the md5 and make sure it is good. If not redownload while on the PC and copy over to int or ext storage and flash.

Can you explain more about the installing steb when you copy the rom into the phone using PC ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Z-Blade:
If you can get to download mode, flash the latest original image from sammobile via odin, this is pretty much the best and last resort. I have had many softbricks in the multiple ROMs I have flashed on multiple Samsung devices and I am yet to not able to recover by flashing the official ROM from sammobile. Hopefully you can get it up and working again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FernBch:
Just plug the USB cable into the computer and the phone. If it asks for drivers just install the Samsung S4 drivers for your PC OS. Google will find them quickly. Once everything is ready the PC will see the phone as a folder in windows explorer, if you use windows. Just copy/paste the file to the phone's storage and it's ready. Reboot into recovery and flash like normal.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] hssino.fgr:
in the gapps downloading options .. I should choose ARM and Aroma ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Simonbz:
I've solved... there was something strange with my sdcard formatted as internal ... I reformatted it, copy the two files and doing a clean install, anything goes pretty perfect. Lucky I've anything backupped. :) :good::good::good: thanks to everybody

My STweaks Profile

I've been using this ROM since Stable4 (9-20), and I absolutely love it! I've only had a couple of minor annoyances (2 or 3 random reboots and maybe 2 hard freezes), but as is life when you make as many modifications as people like us do (Xposed, modules, etc). I also watch this thread like a hawk to stay current with people's issues and what the devs are up to (perfect time to give a major shoutout to you guys!).

Anyway, on to what I'm actually posting about. I've been using a custom profile in STweaks for some time now, and I want to share it with everyone. It's geared towards slightly compromised performance with big benefits towards battery life. The performance difference compared to Stock is hardly noticeable (as in delay between an action and time of completion). I play a few games (DragonSoul, Dungeon Hunter 4, SimCity BuildIt, etc) and they all perform just fine. New app installs are quick, file browsing/tasks performance is nice... Overall the performance and battery life is great. I get about 5 hours of SoT, and an *estimated* 4+ days of standby time (search for "Extreme Battery Life Thread" & "0% [0.0%/h] Idle Battery Drain on Stock ROM" here on XDA).

Let's say there are 5 tiers: Extreme Battery Life (lowest performance), Good Battery Life (low performance), Normal (stock settings), Good Performance (low battery life), and Extreme Performance (lowest battery life). This profile is a mixture of Good Battery Life (without the 'low performance') and Good Performance (without the 'low battery life'), but it's not Stock either.

Here is an overview of the profile:

* All cores max frequency = 1566MHz (Stock: 1890MHz)

* Arch Power & Power-Efficient Work Queues = On

* Deep Sleep & On-Call Max Frequencies = Slightly Lower

* Darkness Governor for all cores

* Alucard Hotplug

* Slightly increased sampling rate

* 1 extra sample to turn on 4th core

* Cores 2, 3, & 4 turn off a little bit earlier (based on load %)

* Only 1 core allowed in Deep Sleep (as opposed to 2)

* Max GPU Frequency = 320MHz (Stock: 450MHz)

* Lower Touch Boost frequency, & limited to 1 core

* MMC Power Save (as opposed to Performance)

* Slightly less aggressive Low Memory Reserve

The reason I didn't undervolt is because I tried it once, had a bad experience, and just haven't had the patience to give it another go. Besides, the same settings may not work on your particular device (I have an SM-S975L; Straight Talk S4).

The GPS Region is set to North America, so change that if you need to.

I hope this can be added to the STweaks Corner post (here's looking at you [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] !)

After you download it remove the ".txt" extension. I put that there so it could be previewed on Google Drive.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sleepyg72786:
[MENTION=6118136]dilidani[/MENTION]

I don't have internet on my PC and my data is limited, so screenshots kind of aren't possible from my end. But in general you can start from the top of the file and go from screen to screen making the changes manually.

This may be a good time to post another tweak I make as well regarding the (soft key) Menu button. Settings > Buttons > Menu Button > Long Press Action > Last App. This way when you need to flip between two apps to compare something or whatever just long press the Menu button to switch. I find it to be very convenient as opposed to long press Home Button > Recents > choose last app > long press Home Button > Recents > other app.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Pinco125:
Hi! The rom is fast and the heating is minimum, so it's ok for me!

The only bug I've noticed is about the proximity sensor: with calls it is ok, with Telegram or Whatsapp it is very slow (sometimes the screen doesn't shut off, sometimes it remains black while it should reactivate).

(I did a clean flash with 25nov)

Anyway, thanks for the good work! :)

Hi!

I'm reading forum for few days and getting confused more and more every day.

My friend has CM on his HTC 816 and it works perfect! No trace of any lag and bloatware so I'm going to install it for myself but see many versions. Which one you recomended for daily use? CM 11, 12, 13? I also see ''optimized'' versions but dont know what exactly is that.

Does version 13 still have camera issue?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sleepyg72786:
[MENTION=6523931]BlackEdition[/MENTION]

CM = CyanogenMod.

The numbers you see after CM refer to the Android version it's based on; ie, CM12 = Lollipop, Android v5. CM13 = Marshmallow, Android v6.

"Optimized" is just the ROM name (Optimized CM13 = that's just the name the developers of this particular ROM decided to call it). "Optimized CM13" is just the same as "Dirty Unicorns" or "Resurrection Remix". It's just the name.

The camera issue (as far as I know) is only with the built in camera app. You can download any camera app you want from the Play Store. I personally use Open Camera and love it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HamdiArifi:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Undefined Origin:
Make a backup of your current ROM, flash the latest build, and test for yourself.

I used GPE lollipop custom ROM myself before optCM13 and can say this is a worthy successor. I strongly recommend stock kernel if you not are going to tweak.
