[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] trader418:
good news guys, its possible i just found the ambient display issue. However im so tired its 3 am for me so im going to hit the hay and if i get the time tomorrow i will see if i can get it working! If i dont get time ill have a go over the next few days.

ps still waiting on romhut to accept my application, im not sure how long they usually take so it could be a while before ota updates.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] trader418:

Hey guys, I am just waiting to hear back from testers as to whether or not I have fixed ambient display issues yet. If I get feed back saying the test build I released to them has it working I will release it to all of you guys on gdrive
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] ibozulic:
Yesterday I installed cm-13.0 v5.6 with twrp-3.0.0-0-ks01lte dirty ower temasek-cm13 /arter kernel.

No problem so far. Everything works OK - voice, wifi, LTE, IR, bluetooth, root was already there, Titanium backup is complaining about USB debug.

Noticeable difference on boot - picture on boot screen is not full screen picture but smaller (cca 80% of full screen).

I noticed that I have Audio FX and Viper4android installed. (do I need booth?)

Thank You for keeping our device alive.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] trader418:
I was thinking about removing viper4android as i had reports that it didnt work for them on the rom anyway. Thank you for your feedback
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] trader418:
ambient display is fixed! so far only on cm-13 however i should be able to make a build for cm-12 with it. i am about to upload a second version of 5.7 on g drive with the ambient display fix inside, will post back her when its uploaded :) should be able to flash it over previous cm-13 rom versions. Hit thanks if you appreciate me <3

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] :
Advantages and drawbacks of the ROM

Thanks a lot trader418 and Temasek. Your CM13 is the only that has no bug.

The only problem for me is the translation in other languages than English. (I'm french)

Not all the parts are translated, some are still in English...

Exemple ? for the WIFI options : Saved -> Requesting IP Adress -> Connected, No internet -> Connecté

Only the last word ("Connecté") is french... It's frustrating because it's half and half...

If I say that it's because in the official CM13 I had some bugs, but the translation was 100% done...

So please, may you copy the translation of the offilcial CM13...

If you do that it would be the better ROM for everybody, not only english people.

And for Viper4android, for me it's a good app because : 1) It's made for this type of devices (phones with bad or lower sound) 2) I tested it and it works : sound is improved...

Also I must say you that YOUR ROM has the higher level volume I ever heard... It's very important to no miss calls...

And maybe it's thanks to Viper4android.

So I think that if you remove it, the sound would be as bad as in the STOCK ROM.

And me too, I remarqued that the bootanimation has shrunk compared to before (I had it in full screen in build 2.7)

Please may you explain me the Ambient display modes ?

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DonAndress:
Is it only for playback sound or for recording as well?

TapaTalked from i9506
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] :
I only remarqued it for playback, but I haven't test recording...

It would be great if the criticated recording level is corrected.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DonAndress:
You can increase recording level through mixer_paths file but that also increases distortion and hissing.

Are you sure you that the ambient display feature (the screen turns on when a notification pops up or by waving your hand above the phone) works with a clean install?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] trader418:
Is there anyway that someone with a clean flash and no xposed can give me a log of turning ambient display on in the settings?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] trader418:
I am going to build another test build soon, I have made more changes considering ambient display. Anyone willing to CLEAN FLASH and test ambient display for me? maybe someone who it doesnt work with now?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] trader418:
Test build uploaded here. this hopefully is a working ambient display fix. I made a few modifications and I think I have got it right this time however I cant test, I wish I could. So if someone that ambient display wasn't working for could maybe test it that would be the best thing however I need as much feedback as possible on the ambient display issue if I am going to get a permanent fix so anyone can CLEAN flash this and tell me if ambient display works or not for you. Thank you for anyone taking the time and testing for me.

IF YOU DIRTY FLASH PLEASE DON'T TELL ME AMBIENT DISPLAY DOESN'T WORK, THIS ONLY GIVES ME MORE WORK.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Legendismyname:
Oh, guys - sorry it doesn't work. The menu isn't there at all. Thought it was something else until I searched for it. :( My bad - sorry for the confusion. Downloading the new build today and will look for it after install.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Legendismyname:
Nope.. ambient screen still doesn't work. But now I at least have the menu. :)

Did clean install. First without arter kernel and then with arter kernel 11.1. Doesn't work either way.

It will be very hard im sure.. samsung is trying to be the new blackberry in terms of security.. any exploit thats ever been used and patched, they learn from.. even if its just randomizing files and hiding them in different paritions or folders.. each patch carries forward, eventually it will be unbreakable security
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] xjimmy:
Yeah, Sony bragged about their security on the ps3 being unbreachable, and then geohot happened. That's not to say that at&t and Knox security is a joke. I think devs would probably rather mess with different high end devices that are easier to root and build recoveries and roms for. Just my opinion. This is just a guess though, man. I wish that geohot would make headlines again with this one, but I highly doubt he cares enough, as busy as he is these days.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] samccfl99:
I am sure the T-Mobile people are really pissed because I recently found out that they too have locked down the BL and their older Samsung phones were never locked down.

Will probably have to get a 935-F if one wants an unlocked one of these phones, for now anyway. $680 seems to be the cheaper price on Ebay currently, but they all say no warranty in the USA. They are already working on a Renovate Rom for that phone and will be releasing Beta 2, which is still mostly rooted stock, but then they are going to try to mod it.

Got a rooted G900A that i will own in June, which they never ever rooted that when it got to Lollipop. Of course it is almost 2 years old now. 6.x will be out for the phone hopefully in April. Might try that if I can keep the BL at OA1 in case I want to go back. What to do??? :rolleyes::laugh::D

I have a sneaky suspicion that the ATT & Tmobile S7 & S7 Edge will end up just like the

Please feel free to read my rant pertaining to root and at&t. I have a note 4 which had so much potential, but it was suffocated by all the bloatware. It is now soft bricked with RL issue, but I have the new s7, and after new wears off we are going to be right back where we were with the note 4. (bounty still unclaimed. But if this is the new way of rooting then we'll just have to figure it out because someone will break it, it just takes time although don't hold your breath, you might suffocate.

Best we can do is work towards root. If we don't get it, we don't. I like the phone so far and.... Not missing root terribly. Can't believe I said that. Just can't transfer app data over... Most apps store data in cloud now it seems.

Worse case I miss root too much and go back to my Xperia or get a One Plus v3.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] billa:
Possible root for G930A/AZ and G935A/AZ

Root could be accomplished by first flashing an engineering ABOOT (emmc_appsboot.mbn) which would disable signature checking, followed by a rooted BOOT (boot.img)

Turns out that every TAR package also has a meta-data\1.mf file which contains a signature of each file hashed with an SHA256 encryption.

If anyone knows how to generate such file please share it.

Don't try the flash the rooted BOOT files below unless someone leaks an engineering ABOOT or can generate the meta-data/1.mf file, specifically for the G930A/AZ and G935A/AZ devices !!

Are you saying if I flash it to my sprint galaxy s7 it would root it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] billa:
You can flash those rooted boots on any QC based S7 without an aboot, except on ATT which has extra bootloader protection.

You'll have full system r/w from ADB, but still need to install SuperSU binaries for full root.

Try:

adb root

adb shell

mount -o remount,rw /system

rm -fR /system/app/*Knox*

... then install SuperSU ...

Note: other weird issue might arrise... ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] canynballa:

I was able to get my hotspot unlocked. Now I just wish I could get su binary. ADB says it's rooted but nothing works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] CVertigo1:
Root access only works via ADB. You can't install SuperSU binaries on Marshmallow without an unlocked bootloader.

I haven't tried this method yet, but I'm skeptical what it's capable of. If read/write access is really possible via ADB, then I may have some ideas. I'll probably play with it after work tomorrow. I believe I'll end up in a bootloop if KNOX is deleted, due to verity checks, but I'll give it a shot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] canynballa:
