Is the SD card formatted as FAT32 or ExFAT?

Why don't you just try Titanium Backup? Full backup, format, fresh install and restore. Total success

One cons: too bad I have to organize my screens again since isn't backing up the customizations

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] demlasjr:
Sorry, I haven't seen your previous message. Neither formatting the SD card directly from the phone isn't working? Did you clean installed? Can you access the SD card from file manager? When I flash new builds and restore the apps I most of time have to re-apply rights for apps to the SD card since the card name changes
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] therawski:
I've been doing some research and I think there was an update to the app itself, must have been really recent, that seems to be looking for other evidence of root. I try some testing.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DvLAx3l:
Np mate, thanks for ur reply.

Yep, I tried also formatting from os or recovery, but what u mean re apply rights for apps to the SD? Chmod? And yes, clean install 3 times today! ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nwlun:

Go to advance n your sdcard n del .android secure see if its help
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] demlasjr:
Are you sure this isn't a device specific problem? I have KERNEL Adiutor installed and the gpu usage is always between 30% of the 450mhz and 0%

I had no problems so far mate. Still using 3.0.1 (I guess this is the right number for the previous version)

Do you have the issue for all the apps or specific ones? If specific, have the apps being clean installed? It's happens only with Apple Music?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] side:
its completelly random mate.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] demlasjr:
I'll have a look this days to see if it's going crazy. I switched back to 450Mhz for testing purposes.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
Current version runs great in my rom.. 2 things to try

- have you enabled magisk hide in settings? Once enabled, if it still doesn't work try specifically enabling hide for SMR (though not needed in my ROM).

- is device certified? Check at bottom of playstore settings. If uncertified, make sure you have a safety net pass. Delete playstore data and restart, you should be certified.

I solved my issue with the settings crashing, by doing another clean installation.

Now I have another problem: I didn't install Pixel Launcher from Aroma, because I thought it would have been possible to install it from Google Play later. Now I see that there is Google Now Launcher, which is different. Is there a way to install Pixel Launcher without flashing again?

I have tried both stock and alucard. Please add the following frequencies to the kernel.

They are: 1880, 2010 MHz, TD-SCDMA, 900, 2100 MHz, UMTS / HSPA+

Audio hickups - Help needed

I'm having serious trouble with playing music on my phone and I want to check if anyone can confirm the problem:

When I play audio, every now and then there is a hickup/micropause and I can't find any indicator in the logs. I ran logcat and kmsg simutaniously and I didn't recognize any pattern. This happens on headphones as well as via Bluetooth.

I use Poweramp as my main player and this happened not only with this ROM but on CM13/LOS13 as well.

Any idea?

Attached is a log file with excerpts of a few incidents.

BTW: I was sceptic about the claims over this ROMs performance but I must say, I'm impressed. If only there was Xposed. :(

I have been on Stable 1 and the ROM has been just perfect. I didn't face any issues except the bluetooth bug where it keeps disconnecting from the car. Moved to Stock kernel and its better but still disconnects in 2 days time. A reboot solves it though.

So, I would say ur ROMs are absolutely fantastic except the minor bugs which every ROM will have anyway.

Well done and must say i wouldn't have used my S4 if it were not for you :)

Tap vibration, at default level (75%) is very soft, almost unnoticeable. Even at 100% it is not very strong. On Stable 2 it was ok. What happened?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] measel:
Not matter if screen is on or off, but it happens so randomly...

Kernel & stweaks DEFAULT.

I can try to capure a screen record (but it's audio so I'm not sure if that would help.)

Audio filetypes seem to vary as well.

Update: SD Card is formatted as ExFAT

I'm testing Foobar audio player right now. Let's see if it is Poweramp related. But even then...

@side : this is probably not a 14.1 specific issue ;) but may be a general problem with LOS.

Update:

I am using Foobar for about an hour now without any skipping, so I guess this is a Poweramp issue as described in their FAQ here: LINK

Which doesn't answer the question WHY?!

Is there any user with Poweramp with same/different experience?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] walttheboss:

Stable 3 review

I see lots of issues posted. I think this build is great but it has taken 3 clean installs to get it working right for me.

1. OK google - if not working need at a minimum open gapps nano (pico won't give this functionality)

2. Play Store apps - if you want all play store apps available you need to have play store recognise your device as certified. This means you need to get safetynet to pass in magisk manager then clear play store data. This was all apps including google phone and contacts app will be available to download

3. Magisk and Saeftynet - any issues look at this thread https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/magisk-magisk-hide-troubleshooting-tips-t3561828 For me I had safteynet passing but then after a while and for no reason it would fail requiring a reboot. The fix was to enable logcat in stweaks as magisk relies on this for activate the hide function correctly. It now reliably passes. I also have Adaway and systemless hosts activated and it still passes.

My issues

1. Bluetooth HFP - Unfortunately Bluetooth HFP is not working in Stable 3. There was a test build from 1st May in which Bluetooth HFP connected perfectly and allowed calls to be made and answered from the car headunit - the problem with the test build was that audio was not routing to the speakers. I am unsure if those changes were reverted because they broke something else or not.

2. More minor issue but in settings->languages and input->Text-to-speech output when using google TTS engine I am unable to install any voice data. When I try to download and install the UK voice set I get the error "Failed to install the downloaded voice". This occurred with a clean install using both opengapps pico and nano.

Thanks to [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION] for keeping going with the S4. If not for him we'd all have to a forked out for new devices so if you've not donated yet please consider doing so.

Edit: I also have to the SD card issue with certain apps - google play music, inkling. Other apps have no problem like ES File Explorer Pro and Cameringo

CM13/LOS14 Stable 2 battery

Battery loading was and still is flakey and I miraculously fixed something maybe.

I use Gsam to measure the current and it lately varied between 1000 and 1700 mA. Today I tried reconnecting about 20 times or so and couldn't get more than 1400mA but that changed with this combination in that order:

Initial combination cable A on charger A: About 1400 mA.

I tried cable B on charger B: About 1250 mA (charger is capable of maximum 2A)

After that I tried cable B on charger A: 1900 mA!!

After that I tried cable A+B on charger B again: 1250 mA.

(Different phone model (S5) with cable A+B on charger B: 1900 mA)

After taht I tried cable A on charger A (initial combination): 1900 mA!!

The hardware:

chargers:

A) HooToo USB charger with 2.1A out.

B) Flux USB charger with 15A and 6 ports so I guess 2A per port.

I still have to try original wall charger.

cables:

A) original Samsung

B) some crappy 3rd party

Is it possible that the phones charging chip got reset by using charger B @side ?

Update:

The next day I used charger A again and was back to 1200 mA. I was able to confirm my finding. After connecting to charger B, the current went up when charging with charger A.

As for the ext sdcard issue, i *may* have narrowed it down?

When i installed Here maps, clicking on the storage option in the app did not even give the toggle screen to change to ext sdcard (confirmed)

I had the maps (folder: com.here.app.maps) from my previous install (from external) stored on my HDD, so i tried copying them to extsdcard\Android\data....an it errored right away on copying

Just tried copying the same com.here.app.maps folder to extsdcard root, and it almost copied all files...the last few files errored out....but not all of them like trying to extsdcard\Android\data

Will try copying them from root to extsdcard\Android\data manually on device and see if anything happens. Some apps are writing to extsdcard\Android\data successfully as it populated

As i have stated int he past, when i clean flash a ROM i fully clean, including deleting extsdcard\Android from TWRP before flashing....

I dirty flashed a couple of times on the test cycle. And yes. The battery stabilizes after a few cycles. First the cpu goes up (don't know why) and that is the reason that batt drainage increases, as well as temp (I panicked the first time and immediately clean flashed). I then let the phone sit for a while being charged, and when the temp dropped, it was already back to normal.
