Flashed beta 2 again yesterday with success and not a single bsod until now. This time I installed cm file manager and flashed open gapps aroma instead of nano. Also formatted extsdcard inside the Rom before restoring the apps. Thanks for all the good information posted here! We are very lucky with devs and users like these!

I've seen that BB just returned to kernel 1.5 in his 7.1.1 rom, just because it's supposed the new version causes those bsod. What's the kernel version in this ROM?

Changing internal SD and cache from f2fs to ext4 solved all issues for me. Screen was constantly freezing and I was also getting black screen.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FernBch:
You can try wiping data/cache for systemUI/settings storage, rebooting, and trying again.

Yet another user saying going back from F2FS to Ext4 solved a problem.

Do your research folks. F2FS is known to cause problems. There is much evidence out there to support it......
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] djumie:
That too! Mine internal was ext4 already but cache and data I changed from f2fs to ext4.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] okidokiss:
:rolleyes: Sorry, my fault. I've freeze File Explorer and settings use it. Solved.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Apad121:
I will try this later.

I assume I can change cache to ext4 from f2fs without wiping my ROM?

Thanks :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FernBch:
I said nothing about removing F2FS support. Some do actually use it without issue. My comment was for those on it who have issues and tried all the suggestions except reverting back. Many report an improvement after switching. I was one of them. I used it and had issues until I reverted. The thing with F2FS has been present since it was introduced.

Is the increase on read/write worth the other issues that sometimes come with it?? If you want to try it, then do so. If it works then great. If weird behavior shows up before reporting problems revert and see if they go away.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] demlasjr:
Since I guess all new Sammy devices have F2FS positions as default and nowhere people complains about issues with it (people started using it years ago even with Nexus devices), nether I, since I'm using it with the Cyanogenmod 13, so I can guess the problem with this ROM and F2FS is the compatibility (maybe the kernel is not that compatible?)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jefffrom:
any update on cdma sprint no data fix yet?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] marko958:
I also had a lot freezes and updated the baseband and modem, but it doesn't change anything. I changed then the kernel back to stock and this stopped the freezing. In my opinion it is related to alucard kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] _ibu_:
I use alucard ==> no freeze.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Calibaan:
I had freezes on my GT-I9505 with BETA1 and BETA2 using EXT4 partitions. Those freezes mainly happended during or after downloads for e.g. automatic Play Store app updates etc. I didn´t try the regular kernel so I can only confirm those freezes for Alucard.

After upgrading BL/MODEM to version "XXUHPF4" those freezes are gone although I´m using Alucard in combination with F2FS now on the internal partitions (THX to the first guy mentioning to upgrade BL/MODEM).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] CH1N3S3_N00B:
Well I'm having zero freezes with alucard with only a minor tweak in,Stweaks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Dr Goodvibes:
Always used Alucard and never had any freezes.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] CH1N3S3_N00B:
Maybe I'm not the right person to say this but seeing so much complains about freezing I feel that I need to say something.

This ROM is still on beta, that means it's not a stable daily driver and if you choose to flash it you will accept the flaws in it. Just give the devs time to fix them.

Thanks to side and all the JDCTeam staff for making this ROM happen.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] demlasjr:
HPK2 baseband and modem here and still same, even in 6.0.1 ROM. Also this version is newer than yours. [emoji10]

Well, you're kinda right, not the right person, since we are not complaining but trying to find the source of the problem. That's the purpose of this thread and our comments. We call it "bugs reporting" [emoji6]
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] thekeemo:
Where would I find modems? And do I flash then using Odin?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] marko958:
What did you changed in Stweaks?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] CH1N3S3_N00B:
CPU Min frequency set to 486.000kHz

CPU Governor at default setting (Darkness @ 4 cores)

2048kb read ahead for external SD(I have adopted the SD as internal, you can skip this if you don't have a class 10 Micro SD)

Fiops as I/O scheduler for both internal and external.

And remember to reboot the phone.

---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

I know.... but what I mean by that is that people who experiences lag just report what they did with the phone eg. playing games, using certain apps or even having the phone in idle. Then the devs can recreate the problem and try to resolve them.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Calibaan:
I think this was reported also in a previous post some pages earlier. Therefore I took especially the "XXUHPF4" and not the newest version from the XDA [REF] GALAXY S4 FAMILY MODEMS and BOOTLOADERS collection Topic. Maybe worth a try. Until now since 3 days no freezes and before I had several freezes a day.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ralfbergs:
Complaints? Or reports of issues?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] CH1N3S3_N00B:
Almost half of them is just a single line like : So much lag plz help.... or something like that....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] -Deco-:
I would maybe change a few settings here for battery consumption reasons.

Set the CPU minimum clock speed to default; setting a minimum will cause battery drain when in deep sleep mode as Android is typically used to the default clock speed. Setting a minimum clock speed does not provide any benefits either as the governor will scale automatically depending on what is going on.

Reduce the write/read speed to 1024kb; what this does is it tells the memory of the phone to say "Hey, allocate so much memory for when i am rendering images." Allocating too much memory provides no benefits as unnecessary allocations are being made and the main memory is simply going to revert back to 2014kb state as it's all that's required.

Enable Arch-Power functions which are found in STweaks.

Set the maximum clock speed which is allowed on deep sleep to 1024/866MHz.

Disable Z-RAM and Swappiness (Hopefully that spelling is correct :eek:)

Disable automated tasks which operate in STweaks. (Cannot remember the name of the tab).

Set vibrations to 0% and disable ambient display in the settings.

Just a few things you can do. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] CH1N3S3_N00B:
Battery life is not a concern for me... xD with those setting I'm still getting around 3 hr SOT with mild games. Anyways gonna try your recommendations, and you just reminded me to kill zram xD used to do that back in Opt.CM13.

PS. Automated tasks in STweaks are under CRON tab. (Never gave them a try....)

I clean flashed Beta 2 a second time and no more BSOD! Thanks for this great ROM!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] elv1503:
No. Freezing can be resolved. For me it was reverting to ext 4 from f2fs. Now ROM is very stable. I couldn't put up with rom with constant freezes because phone was unusable. For others reflashing seems to help. We know its beta.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] CH1N3S3_N00B:
I know it can be fixed by trying different combos or tweaks and you just shared with others how you got rid of lags, that post was directed to people who doesn't do that.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] whitematrix:
I can report no freezing with stock kernel and 3hour SOT. Dirty flashed with ext4 format.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jimbus369:
I have network problems with latest build. My data connection crashes after a while and for make it work again i have to reboot my phone. I have this problem since CM13 Final Side.

-I don't know why and when this crash happens. I simply found my phone without data connection.

-Cellular networks works anyway for calls.

-I haven't found any fix.

-Bootloader and Baseband: UHPK2, but i have the same issues with UHPG1 and UHPF4.

Did you flashed only bootloader or bootloader+modem? I had this problem before at optcm13 when I flashed new boot+modem. I fixed when I reverted to the original extracted directly from firmware.

Hi there

The freezes have gone after I did a clean install using ext4 on everything instead of f2fs. Don't see any speed losses:)

However tethering/mobile hotspots don't work....It just says error. It worked before Android 7.1.1 so in the last update it was okay.

Hopefully that will be fixed at see point. Thanks [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION]:good:

Ill throw my hat in with the others saying the hotspot doesnt work, i tried to use it for the first time today since installing beta 2 , and its the first time its failed to work on your ROM's for me

Im on the same (latest) modem as was working on beta 1 before anyone asks :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Apad121:
On beta 1 mobile hotspot worked fine for me as well as f2fs.

On beta 2 f2fs had random freezes for many people. The random freezes made by phone unusable: restarted after every few minutes. Mobile hotspot also doesn't work anymore.

You may notice that everyone who has been complaining after mobile hotspot is on beta 2.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jimbus369:
Can you add in the future this features? If you want and if you can.

LockScreen shortcuts:

Anyway, after clean flashing with all partitions in EXT4, the rom works smoothly! Except for data connection crashes. But i'm the only one with this problem. I have tried to flash again latest baseband and for the moment it seems run smoothly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] CH1N3S3_N00B:
I that you are tired to hear this but... which BL/Modem you are using? Mine is PA1 and as few post above mine is working.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] CH1N3S3_N00B:
Hehe it seems that my rule of thumb worked...

If it ain't too old or broke don't fix it. xD

Cuz seeing those phone bricking updates from Sammy for Note7 users raised my suspicion that they may leak/release some bad modems to "break" our phones.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mitsch79:
PG1 here too and hotspot is not working. It PA1 works for you, i might try.

Regarding my sim card removed error... I flashed this rom again today (clean flash, again) but used nano gapps instead of pico gapps i usually use. So far there's been no sim card removed error :) bluetooth is working fine even the hands free feature using my car radio.

So, fantastic work and big thx to the devs

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] JDtheHutt:
I am using Beta 2 and as always loving the ROM. I only have two issues I've noticed.

I am getting random lockups as well, much as I was getting on the pre-beta versions. This went away for Beta 1 but has returned for Beta 2 though not as bad. I don't know if it helps, but it seems to occur mostly when a data transmission is underway via an app. I.e. I start downloading videos through YouTube, send a Hangouts message, add some DLC in a game. I can't go more than 10 minutes of that before it locks up. Downloading through a browser goes fine, able to get 1GB and larger files downloaded without seeing any lockup.

I am also having the broken hotspot issue. My WiFi and Bluetooth work fine for me connecting to other points or adding my headphones, but neither work when I try to set to my own hotspot for my wife to connect to me for my data.

Thanks, can't wait for beta 3.
