Thank you very much then!

Can I remove the app once I added a local contact account to my phone?

I would like to understand why I'm experiencing this issue anyway since I know for sure that other people with the same cyanogen release don't need to use any app to add local contacts.

Hi, I've installed [Stable2] because after a research I found out that it seems not to have any major issues on the other hand many people have experienced some issues with the camera on [Stable4].

Could you confirm there is no issue with the camera with i9505 and [Stable4]?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] -Deco-:
I can't speak for everyone but on my end i am having no issues. Personally i use Open Camera due to it's high quality when taking pictures. I can take pictures and videos without issues, change the resolution on the fly and what not.

Thank you for coming to my aid a3r0n1. Unfortunately I have no root access, which the 'Proximity Fix' App requires. Can you advice me the best way to get root for this ROM? If my memory serves me right I had the option to install without root, and due to experience/issues in the past with my N7000 I felt saver without.

I know the basics of 'how to' but there's so much out there that I can't tell top and bottom apart; to many projects by to many people. Which is fine, because overall the diversity actually brings progress.

Anyway, again I appreciate all your input and help.

update: enabled development options and root, but only get "only adb" as option. Which gives SuperSU no access and in turn Prox fix won't work.

Sorry I'm not familiar with your device.

Search XDA for your device and rooting procedure.

It says you own the i9505 model just like me. So I think perhaps you might misunderstood. The referral to the N7000 was just to point out when I experienced bad things with root.

edit: the problem I'm experiencing now is with the i9505, TWRP and optimized CM-Stable 4 installed as discribed in this topic.

Meanwhile I've narrowed it down a bit. I now believe the root-access was optional when installing TWRP, not ROM. So my guess would be to reïnstall TWRP? Don't want to do anything hasty though.

As ever, my sincere gratitude for any help you might give.

This will reset my Kernel to stock-kernel, which is not supported by this ROM. Because any issues when not having the suggested kernel are no issues to post here is what I read. So even if that would work, I would think it's not desirable. And probably create more issues then I've got.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rrapidsharre:
I installed [Stable4], the problem is that once you create or enter your google account, google launcher forces you to use google account and the local option disappears.

Google Launcher: I imported from sim before setting up my google account and I had the local account option available but once I entered my google account username and password the local account settings option magically disappeared.

Trebuchet: I did this procedure once using Trebuchet and even I entered my googleplay account the local account settings option didn't vanish, hence I think

there is something in google launcher that forces you to have the fu..ing launch bar on the top and to use google account as contacts.

What do you think?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] walttheboss:
Proximity fix might work but doesn't work for many. Look on youtube for cleaning it. Takes about 5 minutes and it will work 100%. Pop open the device. Unscrew a few screws. Pop out the proximity sensor module. Clean it. Reassemble. Will work 100%.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] user4million:
Pretty sure its not an optical thing.

But I will take it under advisement, if there is no digital fix then hardware it is...

Thanks for the advice.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] a3r0n1:
You can try and install "Proximity Sensor Reset/Repair" or a similar app that doesn't require root, although most of them do.

This will just re calibrate the sensor which from time to time can go out of wack.

Personally I'd opt for root as it offers a lot more options.

Nandroid and Titanium backup both really essential when installing custom roms

Whatever you choose to do..... Good luck with it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] user4million:
Thought to already have answered. Probably forgot to press send. Anyway... Never had issues before but then again I had the proximity function disabled when I was on stock. Drove me nuts when doing stuff on my phone while calling. But now it just goes black. Don't think its a hardware issue but. I will do a cleaning when I get root with SU and the fix done and won't work. Thanks for this advise.

Edit: Apparently there was a time lag. So this response is double.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] -Deco-:
Settings - Developer Options - "Root Access" - "Apps and ADB". From there simply install SuperSU from the Play store. If that doesn't help you there are number of apps which should do the job; CF-Autoroot, Kingroot to name a few.

Personally, I'm using Trebuchet. Not sure why you would use Google launcher; Trebuchet is better in all regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] user4million:
I first start having issues with the Trebuchet. Which I too experienced on my older n7000. Constantly stopped. And on the s4 i started to use it but again problems. Do I switched to google. That's why.

As for the root access. As I mentioned, but might have gone past you, I can not get Apps. I only have the option " only adb", well yeah... The "no option" id there as well. Just not the one you suggest.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] -Deco-:
If you do a bit of research, apps can take advantage of "special" ADB permissions for various things, however you may find an app which uses ADB to root a device. That or flashing a SuperSU .zip through TWRP should do the trick.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] PePeMoke:
Had the screen-stays-black-thing too out of nothing when I installed my first custom ROM.

Hello, after I install this Stable 4. Coming from crDroid. I got "screen of death" where i cant open my device from sleep, i need to remove and reinsert the battery to open up. And I try to flash stock rom where it got worse. Can any one help me?

Ps. I also have problems in my speaker lost its sound after reboot it came back byt after some time again it lost. I tried some hardware solution but still no good.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] user4million:
Seems this could do the trick. However since I can't get root access, it doesn't work for me. Neither do alike Apps without Root.

Tried Kingroot, no succes.

Flashed CF-autoroot with the added Odin, now I do have the ability to select "Apps and ADB" in Dev tools, but still no root access is detected by root checker and SuperSU is asking for binary update constantly, which doesn't work of course.

Meanwhile more and more apps shut down on start up. "proces system doesn't respond".

Both Camera Apps froze on me already.

Feels like running a Nightly rather then a Stable.

So any suggestions how to get root access?

If you screwed something up by installing viper, uninstall it first. Then wipe dalvik, cache and system and reflash the rom

Don't wipe data though, you'll lose your settings and apps

Any kernel compatible with optcm13 that supports OC?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tourney3p0:
You can solve it by using any other ROM. This ROM's dev ignores all reported problems and blames it on others despite the "stable" release getting less and less stable every release. Check out the release where screen rotation did not work at all for anyone despite the assurance that "we know the problem isnt with the ROM because we have the best testers" if you want a good laugh.

But on the bright side, there is a new poll you can vote on that was posted after your problem went unacknowledged!

Who can confirm this issue report?

Is there anybody who can tell that sound on miracast under optcm13 stable 4 works fine?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rhoban:
Listen.

Not everyone here has the same problems on this ROM.

I mean, how many people do you see complaining that their sound doesn't work on this build?

It's not that many as compared to the other people with working sound.

Phones are as unique as people and the developers just can't forsee every single scenario.

You think Samsung's ROMs are better? Then stick to TouchWiz. Although, I can assure you that official Samsung ROMs are not bug-free either. Even more so, Samsung doesn't even give a crap about the this, because they dropped support for the S4.

Besides, how can side help anyone if no logs are provided.

"Oh, my sound doesn't work"

OK, so what do you want the developer to do exactly?

Fix it? How?

He can't fix it if he doesn't know what's going on with your phone.

I assure you that no developer will release a ROM that isn't working perfectly for him.

So if side released stable 4 then it means it worked fine for him and the other members of the test team.

Why don't you put your money where your mouth is?

Build and release your own ROM. Let's see if you can do it better.

Hello "dream" team,

I would first like to congratulate you on your excellent work, this ROM is really good.

That's why I like to keep it on my Galaxy S4 i9505.

However, I am faced with an embarrassing problem.

Despite 3 relocations, I can not save data directly on my external SD card.

Yet it is well recognized by the system, which propose to install the format as either internal memory or externally.

Furthermore, I have access normally with the file explorer.

I do not understand this dysfunction, this nevertheless was working fine under KitKat and Lollipop.

And that bothers me, because the videos are large files and internal storage is limited. Of course, it is possible after registration of moving these files to external storage, but this is not practical.

Example: With the app "camera", I can not save pictures or videos directly in the "Photos" folder on the SD-Card. No option allows me.

And it's the same for other apps. If I go to "Settings", "Applications", "Camera" (to stay in our example), "storage", I can only "clear data" or "clear cache".

With KitKat or Lollipop, I was here for each app, select either the "internal" storage or "external".

I would like to find the solution and understand if it's a bug of this ROM, or me, who does not install properly.

Thank you in advance for your answers and informed advice
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
we sadly know that "camera cant write to SD card"...although we worked on it and it now can :)

wait for next release.... :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rolly6:
Thank you for the quick reply.

Again, I admire the work you do for the community.:good:

To return to my problem, I thought it only concerned the new ROM "Nougat" you develop.

And I would make a few clarifications:

- I do not have the storage option on SD-Card for all applications, not just for the app "Photos". Boring!:confused:

- Some users of this ROM tell me, on the Phonandroid forum, have this possibility.

Hence my questions! What to believe?

Finally, if I understand it, a new version of this ROM is about to come out. I can not wait to see him...

Good luck.

User dictionary

Hey. I am eagerly waiting for next release too :)

Because of that I want to know if there is a reliable way to backup and restore user dictionary.

Tried some solutions but they do not work out for me (in Tibu I did not find the user dictionary to back it up and some apps made for this purpose did fail too).

Is there a way to do this and if so please help me out!

I've had to come back to my trusty old S4 because my LG G4 has developed a touch screen problem.

I was using one of the older builds so decided to do a full wipe and install the latest Stable 4 release.

Everything is working great apart from Bluetooth Audio Streaming, it is very choppy. Now I do seem to remember this was a problem a few months ago but I thought a solution had been found and implemented? Does anyone have any workarounds perhaps?

Miracast works with sound if u flash it with the stock kernel but it may have lag
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sh4z:
of the people who responded indicating vibrate is working do you have the Knox bootloader with your Knox warranty bit 0x1? it would be interesting to know... I'm still running the original MEA bootloader that came with the phone LOL. it's caused problems upgrading to other custom ROMs in the past; such as inability to lock the phone immediately after startup. this is usually fixed with a kernel flash. so it could be a kernel modification causing this issue.

I have not modified the kernel post installation.

I factory reset before upgrading to this ROM but I have not tried doing a full wipe yet. will report back my findings if i test this.

Every time in the past flashing stock CM13 or CM12.1 has resolved this issue. this indicates to me my hardware is functional and it is caused by the ROM (even if it's working for other people) although without flashing a different ROM recently to test it I can't rule out hardware either. thanks for the suggestion.

I'll test this ROM a bit more over the coming days. also enjoyed seeing CM14 in the works for S4! cool! sorry OT

clean install of stock cm13-20161021, vibrate not working. starting to think I should flash a stock ROM and start over. maybe it is hardware :(

Clean install of factory stock samsung still no go :( RIP vibrate lol. well thanks for baring with me side. guess its hardware. well at least i can stop worrying lol.

good news is my phone wont waste battery from the vibrator lol :good:
