Sorry if this has been asked before, but this rom contains the whole deuteronomy 2.3.3 sound mod from the arise team or just viper4arise? Because i have flashed deuteronomy 2.1 after flashing the rom and have noticed that camera preview is showing pictures rotated by 90 degrees, i can not also use focus by touch in snap camera(it always focuses in the center). I have noticed similar problems in other devices after installing the arise sound mod(solved it by trying different versions). Getting some camera FCs as well and the device needs to reboot to access the camera again. Does anyone have similar problems, or its probably something i flashed?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Icmer:
The latest ROM is great. Smooth and no crashes after a week.

I get really good battery life (5+ hours screen on time) with gentle fair sleepers, arch power, and power efficient work queues turned on, and Cron and all the settings under Cortex tweaks turned off. I leave all the other Stweaks settings as default.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
I believe it comes with the Deuteronomy 2.1 version of Viper4Arise. Just flash Deuteronomy 2.3.3 from here and everything should work well. This is exactly what I've done on my device and everything on it works damn near flawlessly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pchatzop:
I did a mistake, i sideloaded the rom the first time and aroma did not come up, so its installation was kinda funky. I reinstalled it today from external sd card, properly through the aroma installer, using again deuteronomy 2.1 as the sound system and everything went well. Rom is probably the greatest thing to come to the i9505. Still snap camera does not show the focus circle , but it takes so much better pictures than aosp camera, and focuses better(on its own), so i deleted the latter. No camera fcs yet on any of the 2 apps. If you guys have any other camera app to suggest, that could make quality even better(though it's pretty great with snap) and can focus properly, I would be glad to hear.

P.S. Panorama crashes Snap camera, but no the camera hardware, camera is usable and does not need a reboot(Just restarting the Snap app). Guess panorama does not work on i9505?

Thank you guys, hope my friend's recently resurrected i9505(replaced screen) serves him well!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Welcome to the winner's circle, my friend! ;)

Grab Snap Camera HDR from the Playstore for supreme camera goodness and working panorama mode.

Gaming performance issue

Hi

I have been use this rom for 2 weeks..

But i have a gaming performance problem..

I can't play asphalt xtreme smoothly in the auto detect quality..

When i still use stock rom asphalt xtreme can run smoothly..

How can i fix this? Tq
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
I don't know if this can be fixed. Some games just run better on TW stock ROM. Candy Crush is another game I play with the same problem.

How to enable auto rotation?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] PePeMoke:
System settings->display&lights->rotation

But you can edit tiles in status bar and add quick on/off ;)

yesterday i've upgraded to last version, all ok, i also took some photos (without problems).

Today my rear camera doesn’t focus. I've tried to delete cache data of my camera but nothing.

Is anyone able to get Bluetooth working in their car with the latest build? Everything works well for me except the Bluetooth in my car. It connects and stays connected but I cant hear voice over calls and and the person on the other line cannot hear me either. Even after disconnecting Bluetooth, calls still don't work until a reboot. This is happening on the last 3 official nightlies too.

Just wondering if anyone has found a solution/workaround? Thanks.

device is i9505, full wipes, pico gapps from 2016.12.11
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] paulboomboom:
i tried snap camera hdr but focus doesn't works yet
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Hmm... not sure what happening in your case since I use Bluetooth successfully in my car nearly everyday.

Snap Camera HDR auto focuses and basically works flawlessly on my device. Try Cameringo and report back. If no success, you may want to try a full wipe (including internal & external storages) and reflash ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] vman10:
Could it be related to gapps package? Which package did you install and what date?

I'm thinking of starting all over again from stock to see if it fixes my issue..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
I used pico gapps 11/24.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] walttheboss:
Could be some qwirk in the firmware in your car. Latest version works fine in my car too. Good luck.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] paulboomboom:
i've restored the rom using the cm function: Settings -> Backup and Restore -> Restores factory data

It launches the reflash of the rom and wipe all data, but nothing... same problem.

my camera app isn't able to get focus...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] vman10:
Thanks, I will give that a try.

Could be. But it's strange because the builds from September (I think it was that long ago) were working fine with my car..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
I strongly recommend doing a full wipe and reflash ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] vman10:
Okay so I got it working. Everything is running as it should be.

This is what I did:

1. Reinstalled stock rom

2. Installed twrp 2.8.7.0. This is what I previously had with other roms but installed twrp 3.0.2-0 right before installing CM roms.

3. Installed OptimizedCM13 rom with pico gapps package from 20161124

4. First thing I did was test car bluetooth and it works!

Maybe it was gapps package? or TWRP 3.0.2-0 that was causing the issue?

Thank you all who have helped me try to pinpoint the issue. If anyone is facing the same issues I was having, try these steps listed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
I'm glad you got it working successfully! I am also using TWRP 3.0.2-0. Not sure if that fixed the problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] vman10:
Then it's probably not because of TWRP. Maybe my phone just needed a fresh start haha.

Btw, are you able to access your internal or external storage from your PC while in recovery? I'm not able to on TWRP 2.8.7.0 or 3.0.2-0.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Yes, I can.

STweaks is crashing when i start it with the 25th November Build..... anything i can do to fix this error ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] tanchette:
Got exactly the same problem. I'm interesting if someone get a lighter solution!

I'll give a try with only pico gapps package from 20161124 to see.

I do use A-GAPPS 6.0.1 which I love, but maybe that's the problem

Hi

I tried to install this version in an galaxy s4 gt-i9506, but I failed.

I did root, twrp recovery followed exactly the steps and failed. When I tried to format it said something like" unable to wipe data". Can anyone help me?

Now I am flashing back the stock rom and i am willing to try again, and I could use some help please. Thanks :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rhoban:
Wrong phone model. This ROM is for the GT-I9505. Believe it or not, there is a big difference in hardware between that model and your model.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] balangmusic:
So is there any other rom version for my model? I would try cm13, or another custom rom that is fast. The stock one is pretty laggy.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sleepyg72786:
Are you using Stock or Alucard Kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] vman10:
How did you go? I resorted to a fresh start (starting from stock rom).

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sclman:
Something similar happened to me. After opening STweaks, it tried to load and then it said "unexpected error something". It didn't crash but it didn't apply nor save any changes I made.

A clean install solved it. More than often you save more time doing a new clean install than trying to work your way around. :eek:

How do I install this Rom coming from stock 5.0.1? I just tried with the following steps:

1. I install TWRP 3.0.2 with ODIN.

2. I Follow the steps on 1st page (Full Wipe)

But after I install everything my phone is not Booting I only get this Message:

"Kernel Is Not Seandroid Enforcing" and "Set Warranty Bit: Kernel"

I can still boot to TWRP.

Where did I go wrong? =(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] PePeMoke:
Which device do you got (modell)?

Are you sure you've followed each step correctly?

I would try the following:

Download ROM and Gapps package (pico) again and check if the md5 checksums are matching.

Perform a full wipe (be sure that you are using ext4)

and follow each step on 1st page doing the install again.

After installation is done wait for the device to boot, may take some time. If it is not booting after 10 minutes hold power button for like 8 seconds to restart the phone and see if it boots correctly now.

Hope this helps!

Good work.

Guys, thank you, it works perfectly! Only I had a pronounced problem with the light sensor (or proximity, I do not know how he correctly called), sometimes for an incoming / outgoing call screen immediately goes out, but I think that the problem is in a bad contact. Later I will try 7.1.1

Hi folks!

I threw my old I9505 on the floor, the screen and the digitizer broke. I have been able to backup all important data and bought a used I9505 in nearly pristine condition. Now I'm trying to install OptCM13. again but it seems that I got a model that has the problem with no touch in AROMA installer and no touch after sleep. I read that I have to install stock kernel in order to bypass this problem but that doesn't solve my problems with AROMA installer. Going through the installer with the buttons is a PITA!

Has the source of this problem been indentified? Is there another workaraound? I read that changing the driver in the aroma installer could solve the problem but I do not find it in the ZIP that contains the ROM files.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Sizzlechest85:
Quick question about the recovery linked in the OP. Will that recovery work on all of the supported models? I have an SCH-R970 (jflteusc), but the linked recovery is for jfltexx. In previous phones I'd always just installed TWRP from the TWRP app, but the R970 is no longer an option in the app. Just want to make sure before I pull the trigger on this phone as it is a Christmas gift, and I don't want to install the wrong recovery on a phone I only have 5 days to install this rom on.

Had random camera freeze on both stock and alucard kernels, formatted to ext4 = no more freezes! :highfive:

You were on F2FS originally?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] marko.dnb:
Formatted to F2FS looong time ago :) Saw couple posts on CM14.1 thread mentioning F2FS cause freeze on CM14.1, so i reverted to ext4 and it worked on CM13.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Most devs recommend ext4 over F2FS although F2FS has gotten better. I also had problems with F2FS and those problems have not returned since reformatting to ext4.

I've never tried changing it because I like it strong at 75%. :D

Make sure you allow STweaks to apply the settings upon boot. Do not interact with any application after unlocking the screen until you see a SuperSU notification notifying you that STweaks has been given permission for an extension shell.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] davejimson:
Okay i will change my mind to change the intensity :laugh: i think this will help to know if there's new notifications arrive :laugh: especially if it's in our pocket :good:

Hey everybody,

I've encountered something very strange: Over night my phone (i9505) froze with display on but no refresh (staying at 53% battery state) and the phone was very hot, hotter than making a compressed backup in TWRP. I had to force-restart the phone by holding the power button some time. Now the phone kind of fully works but the phone is stuck in "silent" mode and I cannot leave it although I can adjust the ringer volume...

I have attached a photo with the missing text showing the pending time left in silent mode and a logcat where I try to disable silent mode and adjusting the ringer volume.

I hope this can help you

PS: 1. I'm running 25. Nov JDC Team cm13

2. System, Cache and Data are formatted as F2FS. I don't know it's important but who knows

Regards Mynacol
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
Various people have reported issues when using F2FS. You may want to reformat device as ext4 and reflash ROM. Restoring nandroid backup on ext4 may also work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mynacol:
I have now reinstalled the ROM but staying at F2FS and the problem was not fixed, I think because I have not deleted the data partition.

The trick was to create an automatic rule that changed the mode. Now I was able to disable "not disturbing" ;)

Mynacol
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sjamie:
I'm glad to hear you got it working again. :good:

However, if you encounter any more problems, I strongly recommend that you do a full wipe, reformat all partitions to ext4 and reflash the ROM.

Please, could someone recommend me music player? Or DLNA app? I would like it to have ability to connect wirelessly with my receiver and play music.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Steve Punter:
For DLNA, I'd highly recommend BubbleUPnP. It's both a DLNA client and server.

Camera

HDR is not working :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] _ibu_:
Try paid app snap cam
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Steve Punter:
I love Snap Camera, but when I use their HDR mode it occasionally (about once in 20 times) shuts my phone down cold. I've never seen an app do this before. It doesn't send the phone through a shutdown sequence, it just instantly turns it off as though I pulled the battery. No harm is done, I can just reboot the device to recover.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] xaustie:
Snap Camera works great for me. I have found though that if I save the pictures to my external SD-Card then when I take an HDR photo the phone will freeze every time. Works flawlessly when I use the internal storage.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] davejimson:
This is better than the Official CM, the name Optimized itself really doing the job:good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rhoban:
This ROM has several tweaks implemented and also comes included with a custom kernel (but you are free to use stock CM kernel if you so like).

It also has an aroma installer. The aroma installer give you several option of what apps you can install. E.g, if you want stock or alucard kernel, if you want Snap camera or AOSP camera, etc.

This ROM will also still be getting some updates, while official CM won't due to the recent issues.

Hello, this my very first post on this forum!

I have a question, maybe you'll think it's stupid but I prefer to be sure that I won't make a mistake flashing a file without knowing exactly what it is!

I'd just like to know if the release named "OptimizedCM-13-20161125-jflte-Aroma.zip" contains the ROM and the aroma or if it is actually just the aroma!

Please forgive my bad English, I'm French and I haven't practiced this language for years.

It's the all-in-one solution. No worries. Just flash it via Twrp and let everything be normally :)

-Delete-

Side beat me to it :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FernBch:
You have the right file. It is named the way it is because it is the ROM with the Aroma installer. When you choose to install it from TWRP the Aroma installer is the interface you will see. In there you have the choice of which kernel, camera, and a few other options of what you want installed. When it's finished it will exit to recovery and flash Gapps. Once you reboot you will be on OptCM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] shingokuyo:
Thank you all for your rapids answers! And thanks the developer for the sharing!

I just have a few more questions before I give a try, sorry, I could have asked before!

My questions are :

- If I choose the custom kernel, will the original one be automatically removed and replaced by the new one? Which one do you personally recommend?

- Is this ROM deodexed ?

- I'm running an official CM13 ROM, do I have to flash a new bootloader?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
Roms default kernel is alucard. So no stock will be installed, if alucard installed. Rom is odexed for speed and stability. No u need no other bootloader
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Poochini:
Hi. This ROM is one of the best. I test lot of ROM`s for S4. In all of them they are the same issues. In MM you can find problems with camera (CM), wifi problem, some of them - battery drain and of course - bluetooth problem (in car, in audio ect)

I use this ROM couple of weeks (with all updates), and here battery is working well, bluetooth is workind, camera AOSP is also working. I have three years daughter and I need camera working. So, you can use this rom, and you will be happy.

I try to find way, how to fix phonebook syncing in car, but there is no solution for it. I suppose that this is PBAB or RSAP problem.

For rest - you will be happy with this rom
