Wow. Snapshot 2 is really top stuff, not that snapshot 1 was particularly bad but there were some little niggly issues with Bluetooth (especially when in my car) and the lockscreen taking 3-4 seconds to wake up. This snapshot 2 seems absolutely rock solid. No Bluetooth crashes despite two very long drives, playing both music via A2DP and calls, and also using my fitbit, so that's great. The lockscreen now wakes instantly (although side thinks that might be gapps from before 18th?) and the whole phone feels a lot more stable.

There's only one issue I'm down to now, but I can't tell if it's a CM13 bug or an app bug, which is that some whatsapp messages fail to be received for a few hours. Other times, it works fine, but sometimes, there will be a backlog of messages that get delivered to me all at once. Not sure whether it's a push notification problem or what, but I'll have a scout on Google for it. Lots of people talking about it on CM though so i don't think it's a bug in this ROM ;)

Top work man.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] JoshDaWhite:
So how exactly does the framework impact it?you have to rebase the rom to touchwiz? I m curios about the process...please explain this
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
Well.... It's not that easy explain. Think about that since Samsung does not release its source code we blindly build the camera-required files
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] JoshDaWhite:
I know fully well.But would it be possible to add a bunch of framework stuff from stock ROM so that camera will work?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
Hmm.. The answer is yes and no. Yes because at programming everything can happen. No because it's insanly difficult. I wish I can stabilize this rom to afford time on camera
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] -sandro-:
I'm not a heavy camera user but apart form the "heating" problem I don't see any difference with TW or at least I do see it but I don't think it's that important for a smartphone. It's a 3y old phone anyway.

What's so awful about the camera on this ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rhoban:
Isn't SnapCamera built from CAF already? I read somewhere that it was built from CAF sources.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] JoshDaWhite:
I have a suggestion.Some custom roms have Wakelock blocker built-in without xposed(W blocker you recommended is a xposed module).Add that wakelock blocker wich can be taken from Nifty unicorns source for example.Thanks

---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------

It is indeed built from caf sources.Caf released recently some more code for camera [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] will look into it,although he doesn't have great expectations.

Not "awful", but rather "can be improved".
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rhoban:
I really don't thinks it's a bad camera.

I tried Open Camera last week and it didn't feel as good as Snap.

I tried recording a video with Open Camera, but there was like a 1 second delay (and image freeze) between the button press and the actual start of the recording.

Tried the same with SnapCamera and recording started instantly, no delay and no freezing.

Just a note, the stock browser is a bit ropey. You cannot clear the history, and certain websites it doesn't play nicely with.

Why dont you just yank the camera .apk out, or freeze it with TB?

If that's the only thing holding you back on TW, then by all means, freeze that ****!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] razenxd:

Camera App Solution: If you are unsatisfied with the stock camera on this ROM for whatever reason, please download either Snap Camera HDR or Better Camera from the Play Store. [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] has already stated a few times that he is aware of some of the issues with the stock camera and they may be too difficult for him to fix at this time. He is more focused on stabilizing the kernel and mic volumes.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] JoshDaWhite:
You got it totally wrong.Right now,I am struggling to download snap2. IT vanishes at 50% from download folder.Frustrating, as I have limited bandwidth. But I haven t whined here,as its a problem on my side.Please keep that poisonous sarcasm at bay.

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------

Lol its not that simple :))))
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
Hey hey hey. I believe some people due to their lack of knowledge think some things simplified. To close camera issue, there is about 1% chance to make camera work like stock. Can't be since Samsung has got closed source code. It's like I give u a cake and ask u to find the ingredients I used. Can't be. Since it's baked(compiled) you are fcked

The solution is to hack the baked cake with high level technics that few people know

Snap camera uses caf sources for apk but not for driver. It just uses some optimization based on snapdragon cpu.

Please lets not talk about camera again :) if i got some news ,u will know it for sure
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] -sandro-:
I'm more interested in not having those camera wakelocks that lock the camera and overheats everything unless you reboot. I doubt a different camera fixes it right? Since it also happens when I use it from Facebook Messenger.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
[MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] has stated he believes CM will fix that particular issue eventually.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] thaidroid:
I'm not sure about wakelocks, but I have uninstalled the camera since I dont use it. If you use a different camera and uninstall the one that comes with the Rom I guess any wakelocks related to that app would go away?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] SnoopyDog:
Some years ago i spent some time to disassemble compiled source with a software that was able to spit out pretty good x86 assembler source files. But even there i either had a documentation for the things or sometimes i was able to understand pieces what the software should do without documentation. For the Samsung closed source hardware drivers, both are impossible because you really need a documentation for the hardware that they access and a documentation for the API to the higher level parts of the software...

Guys, aren't we getting a tad greedy here?

Side's trying to get the ROM stable - asking him to improve something that's already working is a way, way, WAY out there request.

Personally, if the next release only has the mic fix & camera wakelock it's a huge win in my book.

Edit:

Camera wakelock might be fixed simply by using a different camera app actually. Not sure..

A little observation I made today:

BT was working very well for weeks. Today I installed the Facebook app and got immediately "BT service has stopped" and afterwards every 5 minutes. Uninstallation was not enough, I had to additionally wipe cache and dalvik to make BT work again. I'm on 2505, but I think it could be a common problem.

I know it's CM source related, but when I try to connect to a Wireless network that requires login, the built-in browser closes before I can type my login and password.

It increases the volume for the mics that are used by VoIP Apps.. such as WhatsApp and Snapchat and many others.

Hi everyone,

I tested some ROMS for my S4, and it seems Optimized CM13 is the best solution (BT working, tweaks, etc..).

I've got 2 questions:

- I tried CM13 and then Optimized CM13, and it seems to me that battery drain is higher with Optimized. Can you tell me something about? Have you got suggestions? The comparison has been made with default settings, but Google now deactivated, etc..)

- I had a nighlty Optimized CM13 (June 14th). I tried to update to snapshot June 18th, following the guide (only recovery-->install zip-->wipe cache), but I couldn't start phone anymore! I always had errors on Google play services, etc.. Considering a future update, and considering that I'd like, if possible, a clean install, because there are exchange mail policies for which device ID has to be unique, can you suggest me a correct procedure?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] laupuy:
Hi,

You can't update cm13 to optimized cm13, it's an other rom and need clean flash (ie full wipe) (read 1st post).

For battery saving, try stweaks (kernel manager with this ocm13) or read the first 4 posts, I think there is tips

;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] danydimy:
Hi,

maybe I didn't explain well.

The "dirt" update was done from OCM13 June 14th to OCM13 June 18th.

The passage from CM13 to OCM13 was done with a full clean install.

What I ask is:

- If I want to update from OCM13 to OCM13 new build, can I do a NOT clean install, but only an update? How? It seems to me that if I only update zip and clean cache, it's no ok.

- sTweaks: I'm trying to set "battery profile" (just from yesterday). Is that all? Anyway now I'll give a look at first posts.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gkai:
It's not advised to do a dirty flash, cause it muddy things for side when trying to track bugs, but it may work, you will just have to accept to do a clean flash if you encounter problems.

You need to flash both the new version of the Rom and gapps, flashing only the Rom has not worked since a lot of optimized cm13 release (system apps are erased even with a dirty flash). You may encounter Bluetooth problem if your gapps contains Google search, it seems bt crash as soon as you have Google search as system app. However, [MENTION=3297960]thaidroid[/MENTION] suggested to remove Google search from system (you will need a root tool, like titanium backup for example, to do so), then reinstall it from playstore. I did it, also dirty flashing, and bt has been perfectly stable for 2 days now, constantly on with no reboot and multiple connect-disconnect from my car and Bluetooth speaker...so it works![emoji106]

I am happy with my dirty flash for now, no obvious problem, but will probably clean flash next release, especially if [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] mention that further releases will allow dirty flashes...then I will be sure to start from a clean state...

For a clean flash you have to wipe system, data, dalvik and cache.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] danydimy:
Hi,

good explanation, thanks.

Talking about "dirt" update, I've got a doubt.

The first "trial" was done updating only ROM, without apps, and in fact I received an error "google not found".

After that I tried to reinstall ROM and gapps, but after that I couldn't use ROM anymore (many google errors), so I had to proceed with a clean install.

Talking about google search, I installed pico GApps, and it seems to me google search is not installed at all. Correct?

And.. I don't think I'll install until I'll need it.

Conclusion:

Dirt update possible by recovery-->update ROM with last one-->Update Gapps--> and? Is it enough? cleans? Other?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gkai:
Yes, once you boot the Rom without gapps you're toast, I never managed to get back to stable reflashing gapps or gapps+rom...had to clean flash. Pico do not contains google search so no problems there, 18/06 version was advised...

When I clean flash I make nandroid, wipe Factory reset, wipe data, system, cache and dalvik. Thats double but doesn't hurt. When I change roms I also wipe preload (but not necessary). Then flash new ROM and gapps (always Pico) and then reboot and wait ....
