CM11 issues on GT-I9515 - Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]

Edit: original post is outdated so i'm editing it. in this thread you can write about CM11 for i9515 issues

I hope this post longer appears possible, maybe a developer joins the "our" cause

If i recall correctly, as I was helping phil2sat in developing and testing the few things we got working, there's sort of a serial/key that permits wifi chip init at boot. I'm on the negative track of thoughts since then D:

how's the progress? if a tester is needed let me know.

ok..i just flash it and
Finally an working custom rom for gt-ii9515 !! great job man, we apreciate your work.
I just flash it and everything is ok and working with one major probl, the BATTERY CONSUM is huuuuuge ....2 h from full charging to empty.If you fix the kernnel for small consum, will be a great rom allmost perfect ! :good: great job and keep working !

To anybody who is using it - can you check if sensors (light, proximity, compass etc.) works? In marktet there are some apps showing readings from sensors.
btw. don't use cpu-z to do it - for some reason it breaks sensors until reboot.
Edit: seems to be fixed.

I think I forgot how to flash phones because of I9515 (nothing to flash)
I wiped all before flashing but did not repeated it after.
So i could not connect to any google service. Now everything is fine.
Super great job @sombree. I Praise You!

Hotspot Wifi doesn't work for me.

First 2 days was ok but now often enters in chillout mode. CPU temp reaches 85° C. Maybe it has something to do with Xposed.
Phone calls on loudspeaker are noisy and distorsioned distorsioned.
Hotboot turns off the phone not rebooting it.
USB to HDMI (MHL) doesn't work.
Will test a little more. Wuz waiting too long for this.
PS. How about SlimKat?

About MHL - can you provide logcat and dmesg made right after you try to use MHL?
About CPU - when it gets hot go to developer options and check "Show CPU usage" - it'll show you which process is using CPU extensively.
Slimkat - possible in future, but no ETA.

[Q] LG Optimus One - P500 - Kel_Sceptic's Opinion

I love this phone, its really the best phone money can buy @its price.
But like allways, there must be something there that must drive us/me crazy.
This phone losses 30% of its "beauty" because of the "touchscreen pushed makes CPU go to 100%" , losses another 40% for the "buttons working but the touchscreen freezes" bug and It wont unfreeze until you do a "lock and swipe unlock" .
So untill this phone gets an official update that fixes all the problems above (2.3, or 2.2 or 2.2.1, really dont care", I'm using this beauty just as a phone (30% calls and sms).
Additional notes: till now i've tried Pimev2 and now runing void (Thanks for your work Noejn).
What do you guys think about this ?

About touch-100%-CPU-problem - this problem have many devices, but unfortunately, as other phones have about 50% CPU when screen is touched, optimus have 100%. Anyway, this main problem should be fixed in 2.3 android release.
About buttons-working-but-the-touchscreen-freezes problem I have to say, sorry. I didn't notice this problem at all.
And at the end I would like to add ARMv6-CPU, which brings too many limitations, one of the worst is Flash player support, which we will never see
who needs flash for phone, flash lite is enough...

Some of the guys working/testing on the CM7 port say that flash works. Have you tried it?
I tested the ROM, but I can't seem to get an IP address from the router, so I can't install Dolphin to test flash
EDIT: And oh. So I could be of any help to this thread, I checked to see if the touchscreen cpu thing still exists, and yes, it's still there. Sorry :/
How could you figure that out since there are no 3d drivers and everything is supported by CPU ? I really hate it when somebody talks crap..

[ADDON] CM7 Dewonkificator [v1.4 03/17/11]

OK, I have written an app to attempt and stop call wonkyness on CM7 builds. Specifically the phone locking up when making and receiving calls.
It's my observation that it's the mic that causes the phone to lock up and so this app opens and closes the mic every minute to keep it "fresh". It's a long shot, but I can't seem to duplicate wonkyness with it enabled so I'm posting it for other to try.
Now after a few positive comments to help boost my confidence in the app, I've made it's own thread to make it easy to track comments.
Just install and run (or just reboot as it auto-start on boot). To disable, uninstall it.
Please post your results!
Change Log:
Version 1.4
Made service more persistent by adding notification bar. Turns out, Android was killing off the service when memory was running low causing wonk to surface.
Version 1.3
Can only be installed on internal memory. Needed to make sure the service can started up on boot. (Thanks to mjukis for pointing this out)
Version 1.2
Only dewonkificates when screen is off to avoid conflicts with any apps you may be using.
Removed debug logging
[Post edited because the wonkyness is still there and this .apk works fine to fix it]
Dude.... As best as I can tell in 20 minutes' time, this damn thing seems to actually work! Gotta tell ya how skeptical I was....but I'm pretty flippin' pleased right now!
Good looking out!!
Much appreciated for this app.
While it's still too early to say it's 100% working, so far so good.
I have had the wonk since build 3 to 23 (except for 16).
I will keep testing and report back often.
That's great news and I'm happy that it looks like it's working for people. I was on the edge of rolling back and this was a desperate attempt to fix it.
Agree with the op. Can't say for sure its the miracle I've been waiting for... but 4 calls in (admittedly 2 from myself, ) no wonks. When I'd expect all to be wonky
If this 'wonklessisity' continues you will surely become supreme ruler of xda!
Will report back soon.

Currently I can't see any measurable battery drain. Dewonkificator doesn't even show on the About phone->Battery use screen. Increasing the time between dewonkification might be work, but since battery doesn't seem to be a issue and we don't know what the source of the problem is I don't think its worth risking or investigating.
I also believe it have something to do with the mic, since all apps that use it have the same freeze, and it seems to work for me. Thanks

This bug is the reason I got off CM7 nightlies, so damn annoying. Maybe this is a Gingerbread thing rather than a Nexus S problem cause the Nexus S is supposed to be rebooting itself while in calls as I'm sure everyone knows.

[Q] Please Help w/ 2 Deal Breaker Issues Charging Issue and Background Apps Closing

I have tried finding answers on my own but I haven't been able to find anything that has worked on the Meanbean forum or anywhere else. I'm obviously on the latest Meanbean Rom.
My issues:
1. When I am in my vehicle using Waze for navigation (the issue would likely happen no matter what I'm using for navigation but I haven't tested it) I either get a pop up alert that my phone is using more current then the charger can supply or I don't get the alert and my battery percent drops a couple percent every couple of minutes, eventually my phone goes dead on a long drive.
I have tried the following with no success: OEM Charger, multiple aftermarket 1 and 2 amp chargers that were hacked (so that phone allows AC Charging instead of the limited USB charging) and unhacked, changed governors/kernels to power conservative versions, removed any overclocking, kept phone cool and out of sun, and wiped/clean installed Meanbean.
2. When I go running and turn on my workout tracking application (Runkeeper) and then I try to turn on music, Runkeeper shuts off. This same issue happens no matter what application I use, if I'm listening to music and turn on the flashlight, the music application quites working in the background. I have also duplicated this while driving by running torque and then opening any navigation application, Torque quits, or whatever is not being focused/interacted with in the front of the screen is terminated (or crashes for all that I know). I have duplicated this with almost every application that I run and the same thing happens, the background application is terminated.
I have tried the following with no success: I have flashed the Meanbean Rom zip that allows users to create a white list of applications that shouldn't be terminated. I didn't input the entire application name but according to the instructions, using just "waze" or "runkeeper" should work the same. I have also tried changing governors/kernels, adjusting multitasking memory settings, wipe/fresh install of Meanbean, and I have also used the application Pimp My Rom to keep the specified application in memory using a tweak in the application.
If anyone has any suggestions for either of these issues I would greatly appreciate it. At this point I don't know what to do; I'm getting ready to drive cross country and the charging issue will be an absolute deal breaker and I also go running everyday and not being able to listen to music while tracking my run is also a deal breaker.
Have you tried an aosp rom? That should at least fix the closing apps, and maybe the charging issue too. If you look for one with a Fast Charge option, that would be something to try also...I know Carbon has it, not sure which others do
Sent from my EVO LTE
Have you tried it in another vehicle, charging that is, maybe the outlet in your car can't output enough juice and it isn't the charger at all. I know when I stay in hotels, a lot of the lamps with an outlet show that they can only output .5 amps. Just another suggestion to try. I run waze in my Jeep and it charges fine with a cheap BB charger with MeanBean.

Yeah, I think so...pretty much every aosp rom for our phone is built from cm source (if not all) and I've been using several of them as daily drivers for a couple of months. Try using the komodo kernel also, as tl stated above the fast charge functionality is part of it, not the rom...plus it's just an all around badass kernel.

I'm using yours right now but I'm still having the same problem for some reason. Is there something I'm not doing right when using your kernel on meanbean? Is there a trick to using the white listing built into meanbean when using your kernel?
I'm also wondering if the charging problem is related to the power output of my vehicles cig lighter since someone earlier suggested that could be an issue but I also have my doubts since my truck has 110 volt plug built into it and I have the same issue if I use my house charger...
Did you enable fast charge? If you use kernel tuner you can enable it in misc menu. Also with kernel tuner there is a menu oom adjust that and see if it helps there are many options and 2 of them being multi tasking.

Gyroscope stuck on with screen

Hey all
Having a few troubles with my gyroscope. Here's the story so far.
I first noticed the issue when seeing significant sensor usage by 'Android System' - see screenshot of GSam. I started digging what part of 'Android System' it could be. GSam Battery monitor confirmed that the Gyroscope is always on during any screen on activity - see screenshot. This never used to be the case, as a month or so back I never had any sensor time used in this app. So something is holding my sensor on. Using BBS, and conferring which packages are included in 'Android System', I can narrow it down to 'system', 'com.android.systemui', or 'surfaceflinger'. (I think.) - see screenshot. Note: during screen off times, the sensor is not active at all.
I've thoroughly googled/searched xda for correlations of these to the gyroscope. This is where I've come to a dead end. I can't find any info on what it actually is that's forcing my gyro sensor to stay on.
The sensor is on with the screen regardless of auto rotation, all 'flip to mute', 'flip to silence'...etc off. Also in chrome, the tilt to scroll is off. I'm stumped.
These links are links which I've read, but nothing seems to bite me with a solution:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/38291-orientation-sensor-is-using-a-lot-of-cpu-time/
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/sensors/sensors_motion.html
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755180
Any bright ideas? All suggestions are appreciated.
(Note that in one of the screenshots, '....androsensor..' has nothing to do with the forcing of the sensor on. It was an app I was hoping to log the sensor use with. It was useless.)
Does it happen with stock (or a clean install of the rom & kernel you're using) ? Could be something unknown that's funky in your current install. Could be the sensor itself on the fritz if it does happen with both of those as well.

Mmm not too sure about stock. It's been a looooong time since I've been stock. Might have to try a clean install of Rootbox first though. I already flashed back one of my reliable nandroids which I always revert to if I have issues, so I'd kind of neglected that side of things and just assumed that my bullet-proof nandroid would fix it if that was the issue. I'll try a clean install of RB though. Just annoying coz there should be a way to figure out what's actually using the sensor, but I haven't found one.
Yep that's an unusual one, you would have thought you'd have nailed it given everything you've looked at (and you've been pretty thorough).

Ok, so I flashed a clean install of Rootbox 4.0 with dorimanx 9.16. (flashed gapps as well). Gyroscope was still stuck on with the screen on. As a last thing to try before full stock, I flashed the kernel that comes bundled with rootbox. Fixed!... But what about Dorimanx? I've used that kernel for about 3 months now. 9.16 I've used literally since it was released, with no dramas.
To make sure that it was the problem, I flashed back Dorimanx 9.16. Gyro on. Reflash Stock kernel: gyro off. Using the stock kernel isn't really an option. Dorimanx allows so much more tweaking plus bln etc
I'd post in the Dorimanx thread, but I imagine it won't be received too well. @MistahBungle any ideas?
Edit: And yes, I've tried searching both the Dorimanx dev and discussion threads for similar issues. No luck
UPDATE: So, with more screwing around with kernel wipe scripts, I managed to make the gyro turn off with both dori and stock rootbox kernels. All was going well until it turned back on a few hours later. I don't know why. Now I can't get it to turn off at all.
Before it turned on, I'd only been tapatalking. A while later I played a bit of hill climb racing (game), then checked GSam to see if the gyro was active, and it was. The game doesn't actually use the gyro, so this is a long shot... Is anyone able to check for me if this also makes their gyroscope turn on (check using GSam battery monitor as in OP screenshot). Much appreciated.
Since then I've uninstalled hill climb racing, wiped, reflashed dori, & stock kernel, but nothing has made it turn off.
Stumped again.

Got me stumped as well Hopper, narrowing it down to a Dorimanx-specific issue looked promising, but that's now obviously not the case.
I'd do that clean install of stock (take your pick re: ICS or JB, just stay away from 4.0.4) I was talking about yesterday.

Literally had just turned wifi on to download a stock firmware. I will attempt to flash with mobile Odin (first time) so I can everroot.... Can't have an unrooted phone might flash the 4.1.2 I was on before root. Again, I'll post updates as I know more

Great minds eh ? ;-D Yep I hear ya re: having a rooted phone. Let us know how you go; this is a really interesting problem & makes a nice change from the 'OMGZ ! I broke my phone because I couldn't be bothered learning or taking proper care !' threads we usually get on here
Tell you what, if you still find the problem persist on stock, I'll DL that game (or something similar that makes use of the gyro) & see if I can replicate it on my phone (running RB 3.9.1 & Dori 9.12; Yes, I know I'm a bit behind. I like stability ). I must admit I don't play games that make use of it on my phone, so I've never really noticed anything wrong like this before.
Yep well I'm kind of enjoying it too. Now I have an excuse to buy & use mobile Odin alright, thanks! You've got yourself a deal. I won't get a chance till tomorrow, but I'll post my findings!

Ok, so the fun of Mobile Odin made me flash stock tonight. Aaaaand gyroscope is on still, but only when screen is on (see screenshot). This is with: stock LSH (4.1.2) firmware (rooted using Everroot in mobile odin during flash). Everything (I mean everything) is unchanged, apart from installing GSam to see if the gyro was being used.
The only conclusions I can think of:
- My hardware is faulty
- The gyroscope is always on, checking to see if I'm in landscape mode for videos (as in how the device doesn't need to be on auto rotate to watch a youtube video etc. in landscape). If this were the case, then wouldn't everyone's gyro's be on 100% of the time though?
Any enlightenment appreciated.
Edit: now I remember why I hate touchwiz :/
OK Hopper
Firstly, I hate you. I couldn't stop playing that goddamn game ! (I had to freeze it).
Secondly, I played it for 25-30 mins solid & no sign of gyro in GSam (I also have screen rotation, all the flip options in alarms turned off, etc).
So that doesn't seem to be the culprit.

Many many thanks for that and apologies for your addiction hmmm. Well I literally have no idea what to try now, I'm completely out of ideas.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Alright, so maybe time for a bit more drastic action... I'm thinking of disabling the gyroscope. I don't use tilt at all, so I have no need of it. Only problem being, I can't find a way to disable it. I've searched xda, as well as plain google. @MistahBungle, I don't suppose you've come across a way to do that in your vast experience?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Logcat during the period the gyro seems to be most in use might be helpful, but I'm no dev & not really au fait with deciphering them (Hopefully someone else who is might read this thread).
No. I can't say I've seen a problem like this or seen a way to disable the gyroscope. You'd need to talk to a dev I reckon. Given you've been using RB & Dori, maybe try the discussion threads for those, assuming the dev(s) read them & ask the specific question there, both about whether logcat would be useful & whether the sensor can be disabled by some kind of hack.
Sorry I haven't been able to help more I'm sure this is really frustrating for you & will be keeping an eye on the thread to see how this thing progresses & if you eventually find some kind of solution (Also happy to test anything else out at this end again that might help).
Well if that's the case, all I need to do is logcat for a minute while my screen is on. Guaranteed the gyro will be on! I will take some time & post in those threads. Thanks so much for your help! I will let you know if I manage to fix it, or if there's something else to test thanks again!

No worries, happy to help If you need me to try anything else let me know & keep us posted on how you go with it in this thread.
Update :
Since posting here, I posted in the dorimanx discussion thread, no replies (not that I really expected any). No progress with the problem, until yesterday.
I flashed NeatROM out of curiosity to see what it was like, with Apolo kernel. Gyroscope is off. I have no idea why, seeing as gyro was locked on with stock ROM. Now I'm even more confused... I would have thought it was possibly a problem which arose & is a result of flashing a 4.2.2 ROM, but @MistahBungle, you don't have this issue.
Apart from knowing that it is possible for my gyro to be off, it hasn't helped at all, unless I'm missing something....?

AHA!! I think I might have a solution.... @MistahBungle, are you still ok to test something?
I managed to make the gyroscope go off by using hawkerpaul's ROMNuke script, and flashing stock. Then, I used the script again and flashed Rootbox, and the gyro stayed off. I flashed Dori 9.16, sensor was off. I set up Dorimanx in Stweaks how I usually do, and my gyro was on.
I started configuring Stweaks one setting at a time, checking with GSam battery monitor to see if the gyro was turned on. The gyro turned on when I configured the 'Screen' tab, specifically:
Set the 'min_bl_level' to 100 and set my brightness to 'Auto'
I re-nuked my ROM, and did the same test, with exactly the same result. I have since found that setting brightness to 'Auto' will trigger the gyroscope. Note this is only on Dorimanx, it won't trigger on any other kernels. Although it won't trigger on another kernel, the gyro will sometimes seem to stay on, as if the trigger is 'carried over' from another kernel. I don't know when or why though.
Summary:Setting brightness to 'Auto' triggers the gyroscope on Dorimanx. MistahBungle, could you confirm this? If not, next step is to flash a heap of different Dorimanx's kernels and see if some don't trigger it.
I've just turned my phone on auto-brightness, running Dorimanx 9.12. I'll check GSam in a couple of hours to see if the gyro has been running for any length of time (and I won't do anything with the phone that actually requires the use of the gyro).

[ROM][MIUIv5][VZW][BETA]MIUIv5 3.8.23 port for vzw from i9505[08/30]

Still not ready but people wanted it as is to play with until i fix up the rest. You can get data on this build easy if you follow my instructions.
Warning:
Data hand offs, signal strength, MMS, phone call reliability, and it randomly sending your personal data to the NSA are all potential bugs.
MIUI v5 3.8.23 ported from bmarko's i9505 ROM.
*Gapps are included for now until I get it all worked out (I hate flashing multiple files)
Bugs:
Probably a lot. Report them.
Understand this is a WIP and not my main project. I take no responsibility for your phone or your ability to fix our restore anything. Always make a backup and always keep Odin packages ready.
Instructions:
Download
Backup
Install
Reboot
Skip through the setup in the beginning
Go to settings
Network settings
Subscription
It will auto set to NV. You need to set it to UIM.
Reboot.
Open phone info app
Set your network to CDMA/GSM/LTE
Wait a minute
You should be connected to full 1x/3g/4g now
Then go and add your Google account in the settings and play with the ROM.
Note: on every reboot you will need to go back into phone info app and reselect your network settings. This is because the framework doesn't have the ability to default to CDMA service yet.
Note 2:
No other kernels work on this yet. Don't try, you will boot loop.

Dubbsy!
Good to see this thread up. I'm still going to get that donation to you asap, my girls tire blew, so had that unexpected expense pop up.
Glad to see this so much further than I got, and appreciate you taking on my request!
One more reason to not trade my G 4

ahhhhhhhh nice
I would like to mention as many of you are probably aware that Google is draining some major battery life off my Galaxy S4. I had 5h 32m off the charger with only about 30 minutes screen on time and had 14% battery. After that I watched a youtube video, and the next thing I knew I had 4%. I know this is a work in progress, so believe me i'm not complaining. I love MIUI. I know this isn't ready to be a daily driver yet.... but I love MIUI so much that I will keep it one more day just to test it and see how I like it. If these battery issues were fixed, I'd use it as my daily driver regardless of bugs. Keep up the good work! I can't wait for the next update

Does NFC on this build drain battery more than it does on other roms?
Will this work on us cellular with a converter?

Potentially. I didn't include all CDMA APNs on this build like I normally do on my builds. But changing APNs isn't hard.
Getting data itself to work would be the same process as I laid out in my op. If it doesn't work out after you try it I'm sure I could get together with the gurus over at teamusc and we could work something out.
Let me know.

Awesome I'll give it a try tonight or tomorrow night and message you with the results
Edit: downloading now results after possible restore lol I hope this works

I have NFC on and am getting good battery life. For this being beta it runs a lot better than many other roms I have tried. Great work!
PS just need to take care of the phone problem
