I did a clean installation I believe. I followed the instructions on the first page. For some reason I cannot access STweaks as it crashes instantly. Other than the STweaks crash and the battery drain, the rom runs perfectly fine. Should I try a clean installation of the latest build?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] whiti:
I just install the rom version Dec 25. it works great for me. I have a little problem using the camera (version2.0.002) com.android.camera. I use a selfie stick sometimes. But on the new rom I can'rt find the settings to changce the loudness bottom to a shutter button. Is this feature missing or I'm still to blind to find it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] a103:
Yes try clean installation. Take a back up of your internal SD card and wipe that too. Also see if your battery is in good shape. Ie old battery will drain faster.

Also don't restore apps using titanium back up or any other application.

I have been reading about APN settings and about this issue but I didn't see anything, need some help please. When I go into my network settings and switch them around I have a few issues.

1) I have LTE but I can't make or receive calls. Messaging works fine

2) I can receive call and message but no data connection at all

3) I can receive call and use messaging but only get 3G signal which is slow. No 4G LTE at all.

I would really appreciate some insight from anyone. Thank you!

Hello

Please don`t forgett about PBAP (not full phonebook syncing by bluetooth with car / watch - In partial contacts you can see only number without name) issue.

I suppose that this problem with database, or pbab service. I test two things:

1. first connect to car - I agree with contacts share and call logs history - I could`t see half of contacts in car phonebook, but in call history I see even if I can`t find them in car`s phonebook.

2. after connect to car - I disable contacts, call history in bluetooth pair device, and then I couldn`t see calls history, but I see all of them.

BTW: This is first MM rom where camera is working, battery drain is minimal and bluetooth is working well.

Regards

P
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
hmm...on the sources,the PBAP is enabled...i dont know why it doesnt work and i have no car with bt to test it :/

i will recheck
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Poochini:
Great! Many, many thanks for trying :)

I discover that PBAP is enable. But - in JDCteam 5.1.1 PBAP is albo enable, but phonebook is working well. Maybe some database? All contacts I have synch from gmail account. I`m in 97,5% sure that this is database problem (2,5%) is for PBAP :)

Side, I can test for you some compilation. I can find several different cars with bluetooth to test

Thanks guys

Hi [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION], sjamie and co devs.

Thank you for all the amazing work you guys do for JDC and the community. You guys are incredible people.

When I got my 1st smartphone the only thing I really did was to root the phone and that was a major achievement for me as root voids the warranty and I thought ok wow now I hacked my phone. It was only after a couple of years past until I got my S4.I have seen the xda website before when I read up on rooting a device but never payed lot of attention. It was only until I got my S4 when I found out how incredibly resourceful xda was.Thats when I found out how stupid I actually am. You guys really do amazing things. So I started diging around on xda and found all the things you achieved on the S4 I was ecstatic to find out what can be done with the S4.

So my first project was flashing twrp (after about a week of trying to decide between cwm, twrp or philz recovery). Luckily the bootloader is already unlocked otherwise it would have taken me another week. Then I flashed root onto the device and then flashed CM12.Oh man and you guys can just guess how I felt after doing all that on the 1st try with nothing going wrong. I thought I was king of the world., but you know what it wasn't me thats clued up its the devs for making such awesome user friendly apps. After that I never looked back it was the greatest feeling having a custom rom. So when CM13 went stable I had to have it.

Sorry for the long post but its my 1st one and I just wamt the devs to know how great they are.

One question I have is.

1.Are f2fs fully compatible with the S4 gt-i9505?

2.Do I have to format the /system partition as well or only /cache and /data?

3.How do I turn off apps on boot?

4.Can I change memory font on recent screen?

Thanks again [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] and all the co devs for CM project.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mynacol:
F2FS is completely optional.

Although trough its structure and realization its friendly to the flash chip and giving you a performance boost e.g. by opening times of apps F2FS has brought up some bugs affecting the stability and robustness of the ROM (maybe you've heard about the infamous Black Screen of Death bug forcing you to restart the device)

If you want a truly stable ROM, stick with ext4

If you are advantageous, try F2FS but don't blame somebody if...

I have recently switched back to ext4 for all my partitions to get the stability and reliability on this side at least.

Side Note: changing to F2FS for the system partition is (IMO) completely useless because you don't write often on the system partition if ever.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
thanks for ur words mate :) really appreciate it..

1.yes it is BUT f2fs is known to have issues with supersu and i got no time to update the rom for the fix.if u want to use f2fs please use the privacy guard root method.

2.wipe dalvik ,data,system,internal(optional.u can just remove the data folder from ur internal)

''cache'' in twrp is recovery's cache.doesnt affect rom
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] bunu:
How is Google Maps performance for you guys? I'm using the latest version of this ROM and whenever I use the latest Google Maps, the entire phone gets super laggy. Almost unusable. I couldn't even play music and use Google Maps at the same time since the audio would get super choppy. I thought it was because I was underclocking and undervolting the CPU and GPU so I reverted the changes, rebooted, and Google Maps turns the phone into a brick.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sleepyg72786:
What are your underclocked frequencies for both CPU and GPU?

What is the max frequency for GPS set to?

What CPU governors are you using?

About how much free RAM when the issue occurs (Recents > RAM bar)?

Thank you side and Mynacol for your responses truly appreciate your help. Sorry to reply only now. I was busy replying then my phone went off. You know I really love this phone with a cracked screen and all but I hate the short battery life.

Mynacol: I am currently using the f2fs partition and the black screen hit me a few times until now that's the reason I was asking if its compatible. I am still using the November release. Will try to download December release tommorow and go back to default partitions. My phone also freezed a couple of times while I was busy on it but I think I set up kernel auditor wrong cause I denied it root and setup on stweaks and had no problems so far. You have a point with the /system not being written to a lot, but don't the device read from /system all the time?

Thanks again for the reply.

[MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION]: I know you are very busy on projects at the moment and that just makes me appreaciate your reply that much more. I meant every word in my OP. People like yourself are a blessing to this world and I wish you only the best for your future projects.I will revert back to default before installing the December update. I read that you won't be releasing a new update to cm13 very soon. I checked last week for a new update only to find the December release. Thank you very much for your reply. Other than the black screen of doom I have had no other issues the rom runs like a dream.

Thank you [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] for personally answering my questions in OP you are an awesome human. God bless my friend.

How can i stop apps from starting up on boot?

When I go to settings-memory it only gives me the options "memory used by apps" and "apps started on boot" and when entering option 2 it only show "bootup" in the settings I can only reset the counters and if I select an app it only gives me the options to disable wifi and cellular data usage.

Can I change the font colour for the memory bar in the recents menu?

Why is it not recommended to use Titanium backup to restore apps that was backed up on a previous rom release?

Will I brick my phone if I delete everything on the internal storage?

Not the internal sd card the internal storage where everything is installed on drivers, apps ect.

I have more questions I want to ask is okay?

Once again thank you very much [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION], JDC and xda members for all your hard work and dedication and for bringing such great roms for our devices.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mynacol:
First oft all: This forum is most oft the time only for questions!

F2FS: I recommend switching completely to ext4 if you are on F2FS. I don't know if it would be good for the /system partition, maybe someone else can answer this?

App Starts: The system-integrated way is under Privacy-->Privacy (or something like that) There are all your user apps and you can press and hold on one to restrict e.g. start on bootup

TiBu: I would say its quite save to restore USER apps. If you try to restore system apps and/or data you probably will get FCs or other stability problems

Font Color: no idea. I don't think you can change it.

Internal storage: How do you want to delete the whole eMMC (without opening your device)? If you succeed, you should have a truly bricked phone (but why would you even try?)

Hope I help:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Relay85:
*Thank you for your help and advise Mynacol. Yes you helped me alot.

Okay will revert back to ext4 on my next install.

I feel like a total idiot for not checking under the privacy tab.

So if I click on an app and it changes to the lock icon it means the app won't start on boot?

The way I undetstand what privacy guard does is that it restricts apps from accessing your contacts, messanging and other data. When I click and hold on an app it goes to the same screen I get when I go to memory-apps on boot and clicking on an app, but it doesn't give me the option to stop the app on boot only to disable wifi and cellular usage.

Great I love Titanium it's a great app. I though that it made the system unstable when restoring apps.

Okay would have liked it if the font was white in the recents menu. Its a bit hard to read at the moment.

I meant deleting all the folders on the device memory but I guess twrp won't allow it.

Another question I have is when I use fx file manager it shows me that the /system partition has 1.2gb free memory available with everything installed.

Is it possible to use twrp to repartition the /system to have 500mb free and allocate the 700mb to my internal sd card (/data) partition. I would really like to have more internal space as I only have 9gb at the moment. I have the 16gb version but only have 9.2gb available. My brother uses the samsung a3 (a300f) also with 16gb but he has 12gb available and is running stock rom 5.0.2.

Is it possible to repartition the /system or /cache or would it not be wise to do so?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mynacol:
I attached a screenshot (in german) which shows the menu in privacy guard if you long press on an app with (for this app) options to disable e.g. start on bootup. If you don't get this menu you went to another place in the settings and describe what you have done (again).

Privacy Guard and the system implementation that came with android 6 work "simultaneously" to restrict access to e.g. contacts or background activity.

If you are able to delete everything with TWRP under the root, great, but I hope you don't try it...

The S4 (all variants) has big partitions for /system and /cache and at least with custom ROMs you probably don't need all of this space. For repartitioning there are two theoretical ways:

1. "Regular course" through PIT files and Odin. Warning:ALL of your data will be deleted (except external card)

2. "Nonobvious course" with repit. Currently I see no official port for the i9505 and baybe it is not even allowed with recovery so you have to stick with PITs at the moment.

Additional Notes to repartitioning: if you want to go back to stock or TW-based ROMs you probably have to repartition it to the current/default state. PITing is quite dangerous through Odin (or Heimdall) and you can easily brick your device with this! I have never repartitioned with Odin and so I don't know how to modify the PIT to get your needs. Maybe try researching for this. I know there are some premade PITs elsewhere (on XDA) and some windows/graphical tools to make your very own PIT
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] bunu:
Everything is back to stock kernel settings. I rebooted to make sure they were in effect and it still lagged. I usually have around 800 mb RAM free so idk what the issue is
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sleepyg72786:
Well poo. I'm not sure brother. Maybe try to uninstall Maps, reboot, then reinstall it? Before uninstalling go in and force stop it, clear cache, then data. Other than that I don't know. Sorry man. :(

Edit: Maybe try reproducing the issue then taking a logcat.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Relay85:
Thank you so much for the in dept explanation on partitioning [MENTION=7718878]Mynacol[/MENTION] I will do a bit of research before taking on that task.

I went through all my settings and couldn't find anything similar to your attached screenshot.

I attached my screenshots of what my options are in Privacy gaurd.The direct translation of datenschutz is data protection and I could swear I saw something like that somewhere. Just cannot remember where.

Here is my screenshots I hope you can assist me on this one.

The first one is where everything is unchanged.

The second shows the lock next to the apps I clicked on.

And the third is when clicking and holding then that screen comes up.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mynacol:
Now I know how to get the other options: You have to "lock" the app and after this long clicking on the app. Then you have the other options too;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Relay85:
Thank you Mynacol but still no luck it still takes me to the screen in my 3rd screenshot. I read on page 1 [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] says that he goes to settings->memory to disable apps on boot.

Here is the dialog I got from page 1:

Battery save Corner

I personally have disabled:

NFC

battery and notification light

Display music visualizer

any kind of gesture

Went to settings/memory/apps started on boot and disabled useless apps i dont need to boot

I want to thank Side and his team for all there good work on the S4, to give the S4 a second life.

Where the samsung developers stopped, gave Side and the team the S4 a much better working, smoother, and a faster phone you never dreamed off.

I have enjoyed his Opti Roms for the S4 but I bought the S7 and sold my S4.

So I'm following this thread no more

Bye Bye
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Relay85:
Ahh good bye rolandvrielink.

You sold out the s4 community by trading in your phone for an s7.Im just joking ? [MENTION=5418934]rolandvrielink[/MENTION]. I hope you will still stay with xda though as it is an amazing site and surely you will do some modding to your new s7.You could have donated your s4 to me. My phone was tortured and has been through alot. Good luck to you.I hope the s7 brings you as much joy as the s4.Its very sad to see one of our own move on to newer things… ahhh technology.

Edit
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pr0xZen:
Its surely not abandoned, per say - its just not "supported" anymore. Its not like the users here are gone, and the ROM doesn't work anymore. From the input, there are several thousands of users of these ROMs, more than happy to chip in with their experiences and knowledge from using and working with this ROM, even if some of them have progressed to 14.x or other ROMs. And the dev(s) do pop by now and then to offer help, insight etc - latest post by contributors and dev was, well, toyday. There may not be any major development on this 13.x ROM anymore, but there seems(!) to be upstream merges, kernel and su updates from time to time.

So lets be real - this is a close-nit community project. It was updated last, 6 weeks ago. By comparison with official stock rom with hundreds of paid devs, it took 3 months for current-gen(!) Samsung flagship phones to get the November Android security update. Sooo... just sayin'...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] walttheboss:
I agree with [MENTION=4890699]pr0xZen[/MENTION]

This ROM is not abandoned. It is nearly perfect and no need for more updates.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Relay85:
Hello everybody.

Just popped in to say hi and to update on my previous problem.

First off thank you very much [MENTION=7718878]Mynacol[/MENTION] for sticking with me and trying to assist me. So I updated with 25dec finally and changed back to ext4 and poof my problem was gone. Thats when it hit me. The reply I got from [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] about the problem privacy has with f2fs. At the moment when I read the reply I didn't quite understand what [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] meant., but oh boy I found out the hard way after many hours of tinkering…. .hahaha. I'm such an idiot. So thank you [MENTION=7718878]Mynacol[/MENTION] for the help. What you told me was correct but no matter what I did I would have never been able to stop apps from booting up. Except with an app of course.

So once again hats off to [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] for the update. It's an awesome rom and now I can stop apps from booting up. I cannot wait for cm14 to become stable but for now cm13 is great.

Just for information purposes my problem was that I was unable to stop apps on boot. The fault is that if you have f2fs filesystem that option doesn't show in settings->memory or settings->privacy->privacy gaurd. I have uploaded screenshots in previous threads. So having ext4 filesystem solved the problem for me.
