using root , always provides better quality of our advanced features of rom.

disabling root DOESNT mean u cant use the rom.its still fast

if u use ur device for snapchat...no root etc...why dont u be back to stock?

just curious...

ps

I am not mad :P just asking.if i was u,i would flash stock again
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Podroznik:
In optimized cm settings when i hit STweaks option i always gets "app settings force closed" or smth liek this how to fix this
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
if u havent select alucard kernel and u r in stock,its normal because STweaks is not there
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] heinervb:
could i just reroot using odin and the cf auto root or do you have to do it a different way when you are doing it again? i also never unlocked the bootloader (rookie mistake). I didn't realize snapchat didn't work once the device was rooted but not going back to stock as it is too slow and too much bloatware.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] echo_21:
I think we need to get an objective scale for laggyness. I think milliseconds are a good scale. On one of my first Android smartphones with just 512 MB RAM a reaction sometimes took 1000 - 2000 ms (yes 2 seconds) after I touched the touch glass, and sometimes even longer. That was real hell!

What times in milliseconds do we mean nowadays with e.g. "laggy as hell", "laggy" or "snappy" ?

Last night I installed optcm13 SideFinal coming from Samsung stock lollipop (GT-I9505 international LTE; BL/BB XOJ2; alucard kernel). Up to now the display lag is less than approx. 100 - 200 ms (roughly estimated) which is fine for me. It doesn't matter if I chose alucard or darkness govenor. Thx to [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] and team!!! I hope the short display lag times don't increase over the next weeks or months.

How long in milliseconds is "laggy as hell" in your case?

BTW: is there any benchmark that can measure display lag? I don't like to estimate times below 1000 ms myself as it is not really an objective method. Do you think we can use the method presented here?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Skiny:
Hi, need clean flash to upgrade from Stable4? I modded my phone for first time three weeks ago, installing twrp and stable4. Came from samsung lollipop stock. Everything fast and smooth! Thanks Side!

now, i need wipe data again to avoid problems with final? or its only a scruple?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] artifex21:
Echo_21 , the notifications aren't smooth, in WhatsApp chat when i want to start typing the keyboard shows 2-3 seconds after me hiting the type box etc... So i decided to try darkness once more,did a reboot it was still lagging. So i tried reboot one more time and now its fast as alucard.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Podroznik:
alucard was selected during instalation but i think there was option about stweaks too mby thats it,

Kernel Corner there should be Stweaks or Stweaks+ kernel adiutor?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tiazi:
the rom is absolutely gorgeous. Makes my S4 look brand new again,!

Everything is super smooth, love the battery life etc..!

but..

Bluetooth calling someone in my car doesnt work. The phone connects to my JVC radio/cd/bluetooth unit and shows its battery life on the display. When I try to call someone, I see its trying to call and it connects but there is no voice... Now the strange is, when I call using whatsapp it works flawless!

Any idea how I can solve this? Otherwise the rom is perfection to me..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FernBch:
Read the disclaimer about STweaks vs Kernel Auditor in Aroma setup. Best choice would be to use one or the other, not both.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] marko.dnb:
ROM works perfect, only problem is that Camera app from meizu crashes my phone (Pink screen) when i take picture (but not everytime, it happens like 1 in every 10 camera app launches). Stock camera app works great, no crashes so far. Overall FinalSide is great like Stable 4.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Ritvars:
I have an issue that's bothering me ever since I flashed this ROM. My whites aren't white anymore, they are yellowish. Funny thing is, whites go back to normal after my phone gets to 15% and battery save mode is enabled. After that mode is off, whites go back to yellow colour.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mattgyver:
Sounds like your LiveDisplay is a little goofed up. Settings > Display & lights > LiveDisplay. Check your Color Profile and your display mode.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Ritvars:
Thank you very much! Can't believe I was this dumb. :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mattgyver:
We all have 'duh!' moments from time to time!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jossilint:
i always use stock cm kernel and even using battery saver mode ui speed is usable and ok. Most critical feature of rom is stability and all features working. This is old phone and 0.2-0.4ms of speed is ok, overclocking is quite useless and consumes excessive battery. Currently final is very fine and even camera is ok now. Reason i had/have less issues with this because i do not use any google service.

Thanks side for making this stable and i hope v14 will be stable too someday, currently i stay with v13 at least 7-12 months from now.

Hey, I'm on the newest final build and it refuses to detect my SIM card. Searching in the thread I see it's a problem for CDMA users, but I'm on jfltexx and I just switched from Stable 3 where it was working no problem. Other connectivity like WiFi is fine. Anything I can do on my end to fix it? It was fresh clean install so wiping or a reboot don't work (did those).

Thanks a lot for the build :)

Bootloop

my phone got stuck on boot , i did a clean install after installing twrp with f2fs and converting data and cache , it's been more than 10 minutes and the phone won't open up ..

can you please help me and thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chris_k:

Idk why but my battery is 8 months old and for no reason overnight it did this. Never happened before 0.o idk what's going on
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mariooo12:
Good rom..

But i have an issue..

My phones are lag and stuttering after i change the build prop (i want to add google assistant so i change the build prop)

But when i check the ram memory it's 0.96gb free..

Anybody know to fix it? Thx
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mrkblo:
For what I know, Darkness is a modification of PegasusQ, focused on a little bit more performance than the original hotplug. Alucard gave me a sense of lag and stuttering on OptCm13, so I've changed to Darkness and everything seems great. Phone is fast and I have no excessive battery drain (3 hours+SOT). Give it a try.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mattgyver:
It's not necessarily RAM causing the stutter. That amount of RAM used/free is fine. Could be the CPU governor setting, as was discussed somewhere within the last couple pages.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mariooo12:
What must i do? Change the cpu governor? Thx
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tweakforce_LG:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] russy23:
How long does boot after flash take, been bout 15 mins so far, orange light on

Make that bout 25 now
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] okidokiss:
That's too long, should be because of SuperSU. Turn it off and on again and it should work!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] russy23:
Yea battery pull did the trick, setting up now :)..first custom rom on s4 for me ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] artifex21:
Dirty flashed the new version over finalSide,everything working fine for now. Gonna see how this update holds up
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rolandvrielink:
Maybe stupid question, but is SuperSU systemless now or isn't that possible?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
I believe all versions past 2.52 of SuperSU are systemless. This ROM comes with v2.78. I still don't really understand the differences. LoL
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] russy23:
I cant see what the viper audio does to be honest, maybe my hearing isnt good..but apart from that all going well
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] schertling:
Flashing 6 (coming from 5) makes me wait endlessly in reboot phase. What is a reasonable time for rebooting after flashing? I tried dirty and wiping Dalvik/Cache. I just didn't try factory reset because I don't want to reinstall all apps, settings and configurations because of a (minor?) update. Takes all day to do so.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
If it takes more than 5 minutes to boot after flashing, pull the battery then reboot. This is normal behavior for this build due to flashing SuperSU.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mattgyver:
Do we, as sgh-i337 users, need to flash supersu after flashing rom and gapps? I can't remember which ROM I was playing around with, but one ROM required supersu to be flashed because of an issue with our bootloader.

Sent from my TARDIS
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Yes, I always have to flash SuperSU (v2.68) separately on my i337. That is not necessary on my Canadian i337M.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mattgyver:
I've been using the 2.52 beta supersu. I'll give 2.68 a go when I flash this next iteration of optcm13 a go.

Sent from my TARDIS
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] schertling:
Thanks, but it won't work for me. Now I flashed 6 again with factory reset, new Gapps and indeed it restarted after a while. I tried restoring everthing with TB (including system apks to get maximum of configuration restored). TB froze progress somewhere, next reboot went into endless state like before again.

I think I'll skip this one, restore my nandroid backup of stable 5 (finalSide) and live happily ever after.

I was just inspired by "newer must be better", but it's not if it's such a nuisance. Stable 5 was quite fine for me anyway except the bluetooth issue.

Anyone assuring me that a bluetooth headset for handsfree phoning will work on this one may trigger another effort but in the moment it's a waste of time.

Nevertheless, in total the ROM is a great achievement and many thanks to side and his colleagues for their work. Stable 5 on "darkness" works satisfying for me and is quite sensitive on my battery too :).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Restoring system apks with TB is probably what caused your problem. It is never advisable to restore system apks. Notice that everything was fine and ROM booted until you attempted that losing battle.

I recommend you try clean flashing again...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] _ibu_:
Dirtyflash - I wanted to avoid a full wipe - same by me :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Just pull the battery and reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] _ibu_:
Remove battery and restart :) ==> It looks as if it works

Thanks a lot :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Creeper36:
If the LED stops flashing and goes solid with any color then SuperSU did not correctly trigger the reboot.. You can either pull the battery -OR- hold down the power button for 15 seconds till the screen goes blank, then let go of the power button.. Then after another 4 seconds it will automatically boot and vibrate and everything is 100% normal.. It only happens that one time on a new rom install with SuperSU. It has even happened to me. :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Yep, also happened to me on one of my devices.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] echo_21:
I agree. Restoring system apps with TB is not 100% safe as TB restores the system apk correctly but misses to restore lib files the APP depends on.

To prove this thesis I recommend to [MENTION=3416476]schertling[/MENTION] to do a multi-step TB restore. After successful installation of ROM and gapps first only restore user apps with TB. I think this will work fine. Then restore all system settings with TB. If this works make a backup of your phone. Next restore all system apps. I think this will crash. If so restore phone from backup. Next restore only those system apps that you think you will really need. If this freezes again it's on you how to proceed. E.g. you may only want to install the first half of those system apps you think you really need. Etc. Etc.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Yep, I've been successfully restoring user apps with TB since the days of Gingerbread. However, I always ran into problems whenever I "attempted" to restore system apps. Therefore, I don't even waste time with that anymore. :eek: :cyclops:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Benholder90:
I'm having a problem with chrome and play store. When I'm downloading something after some time the download stops and it says queud and waiting for network. I think its when the screen goes off. Anyone know?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] echo_21:
Fully agreed. My recommendation was only for [MENTION=3416476]schertling[/MENTION] who seems to have time trying to restore system apps.

[MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] kept it secret who will be the new maintainer of optcm13. Now we all know. Thank you very much [MENTION=4385445]Creeper36[/MENTION] !!!!

What are your plans? I would be happy with only some cm upstream merges from time to time...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jossilint:
Yes i agree that this rom should get only critical fixes and security updates to keep it ultra stable.

FinalSide currently is really solid on my i9505, even camera and i always use stock cm kernel and no google services personally. Until CM14 reaches stable state then this is best of best rom ever, who knows what new critical bugs appear on Android. Creeper36: keep up good work from now on and this rom will be even better 10000 times than official manufacturers rom because of security fixes until CM14 is rock solid.

Side and Creeper36 thank you for giving life to i9505.

How can I switch from alucard kernel to stock kernel after a clean install?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Choose your desired kernel in the aroma installer.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] WnG88:
So rerun aroma and select stock,? I have been using alucard for a couple of days. I don't want to reinstall everything.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Correct
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jossilint:
One thing i wanted to ask is how to force download from queued to download file, all downloads have queued but nothing gets downloaded.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
I have encountered many issues with Chrome. Give Dolphin Browser a try and see if you still have problems downloading.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
i still have optcm13 source to my desktop and i will keep updating too.

But yea...seems like my friend and team-mate [MENTION=4385445]Creeper36[/MENTION] will maintain it.Dont push him tho :D he is new on this.

officially the rom is not on my hands anymore...although i think that this ROM always need a side's flavour to keep being nice ;) hehehe

Dont worry about the future of that rom.we will surely not let it die so easy.hehehe

Thanks [MENTION=4385445]Creeper36[/MENTION] for keeping it alive ;)

Battery life is really not good on final5, even after a clean flash. Was already problematic on stable 4...

What is special is that I'm in a place with very bad wify and LTE, not really bad signal but network is awfully congestioned...this always lower battery life, but not to the extend I observe right now, and I have a lot of instabilities too, including reboots :( after a clean install and without dangerous tweaks like undervolting or exposed, I was not expecting this.
