CyanogenMod 10.1 Discussion - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

Figured I would start a thread for us Canadian I337 S4 owners, since our devices come bootloader unlocked and we are able to load the experimental ROMs at this time.
So far, I've rooted and loaded CWM Touch recovery via ROM Manager. About to install CM now and give it a spin. I'll be back with my findings after a bit of playing around.

I would be curious to know if the ghosting and black crush issues are the same on CM10 as on the stock since some people say it's a software issue while others contend it's the screen itself. Also, I'm pretty jealous that you Canadian SIV owners get to try this stuff out already.

No ghosting here! And man, I forgot how fast and smooth AOSP is. Can't wait until this thing hits stable status.

Wifi doesn't work on mine. Also, hangs during GAPPS 'Welcome' process, using goo.im's 10.1 gapps.

CM10 jfleatt Nightly 20130612 - WIFI Issue
Anyone experiencing Wifi issues after upgrading to last nights nightly build on the Samsung Galaxy S4 on ATT? May have to revert to 20130610 or 09...

t869 roms?

Hello all.
I just recently picked up a t869 at a good price and have it rooted.
Can I use p;6100 roms and have everything work the same like the ir and what not?
Not really using cellular at the moment but would like that to work too.
Any input would be appreciated.

u cant flash p6200 n p6210 roms, go check development forum n check roms, 4sure u can flash pac man pa 3.68 n cm 10 cm 10.1.
I got mine (t869) around month ago. I did flash stock ICS and everything works fine, just beware of the "brick bug" in ICS. I run the "got brick bug" app and shows that my tab do have brick bug. As long as you have the CM 6.0+ recovery, you will not be affected. Unfortunately, no JB for us at present time. Few of those CM10 roms, but buggy as hell. I love that IR in it. I got it working with my tv, but playing a joke my get you hurt. I event sent e-mail to Samsung president, asking for upgrade, but no luck. According to Samsung, t-mob is not willing to update the device. 600 series will not work. I am looking into some international roms and see if some my work.

[Q] Installing Custom Rom over 4.3

So I was getting sick of running CM 10.2 on my Galaxy SIII so I decided to go back to Verizon stock 4.1.2 rom and then before reading up on the 4.3 OTA update, I stupidly just went through the update. I didn't know how much of a hassle this was going to be, but basically I was wondering if anyone has any information on how to get off of this standard rom and back into the world of custom roms. Because I really really dislike touchwiz and really just about everything to do with this OTA update that I've had to deal with for the past pretty much month now. Any information will be helpful on steps I can take to get off of this ROM or if any work is being done to make this phone rock as much as it did when I first bought it.

Saferoot and Safestrap only available option right now.
I may add that saferoot is to root your phone and safestrap is used to install TouchWiz custom rom only.
how to get a clean 4.4
I've done the same thing as well with a similar issue, is the consensus that there is no way to move from a stock 4.3 updated phone to a clean non-touchwiz 4.4 such as CM11 or similar? My phone is quite slow and laggy after this update especially the keyboard, so I'm looking to pare things down to speed it up.

I'm looking to move to the latest software but non ota so I can keep root and unlock boot loader. I can't seem to find any roms.

how did you unlock your bootloader may i ask?
I did it before the update then used one on here that didn't lock it
All that is available are AOSP ROMs or CM11. No one has been able to get the new kitkat kernel to boot with our old firmware. :crying:
At this point, I'm happy with DU weekly builds. Don't really miss Touchwiz, I do flash MOAR sometimes. However, I still things run much better on vanilla android.

While that is correct there are several decent versions of aosp and other variations. I would seriously look around for what's available but stay away from anything that says BL LOCKED or any variation of that
From my S3 on Wicked 4.3

I've been having recurring camera reboots on my stock, rooted, BL-unlocked ROM and really want to get away from that. Does either CM or any of the crop of AOSP ROMs of 4.4 for similarly unlocked devices manage to work well w/ phone hardware (e.g., cameras work properly, mic works properly, bluetooth works properly) without being too "1337 g4m3r XT3M3!!!"? I'd like a fairly simple layout, to be honest, without a bunch of crufty, automatic extra features. Just a plain, 4.4.4 ROM that actually lets me take more than one picture before rebooting

Nope. I believe you have to pay $50 to jtag your device back to an unlocked bootloader. I maybe wrong, but i believe that is the only hope. For the time being, the only unlockable devices seem to be HTC.

No, my phone's currently on the unlocked 4.3 build floating around the forums; i was wondering which of the unlocked 4.4 builds (e.g., AOSP, Cyanogenmod) was most stable, since there isn't a TW build compatible with my unlocked bootloader.

Questions and Help issues belong in Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting...not Original Development
All the development sections are only for developers to post work
As for looking for the "best" or "most stable" ROMs it is strongly advised that you read the development threads yourself
Find out what bugs and fixes are offered in the thread and if that appeals to you, or has a bug YOU can live with
No one can pick your ROM for you nor should they...in the end only YOU know what it is best for YOU.
As a general tip, stay away from Nightlies if you want stability as new fixes and bugs are presented often in those.

Help on a MF1 baseband upgrading it to "?"

Im a S4 and now a S5 user and this Verizion I535 S3 is looking scary. Two years ago I got the phone, unlocked the bootloader, installed a custom recovery, and installed CleanROM Seven. It has 4.1.2 Android Version with MF1 Baseband. With so many threads on updating to 4.3 and 4.4 is very bad with this version of phone, what options do I have? It's GPS is all mest up and hope to improve some battery by putting a new updated ROM on it. Can somebody point me in the right direction and show me some good options with links?

As far as roms you have many choices. Have you tried tightening the screws on the back of the phone? I've read people have had luck with that. I'd stay with the unlocked bootloader

Currently I flashed the latest TWRP and found a old Synergy Rom that's dated April 2013 that runs 4.1.2 and is MF1 based, other then that ROM can't find anything else that I believe would flash correctly. After installing the ROM, GPS was not fixed, and came across the "tightening of screws trick" As everybody has posted, it worked! Nevertheless, on day one got a random reboot and a forceclose on the camera. Still looking for ROM choices that I could use.

Glad to hear the screw option worked. You can always go with a rom that's not 4.1.2 based. There are plenty of custom roms out there for the S3

Verizon M8 and CM13

Greetings everybody! I just purchased a refurb M8 (stupid duo cam isnt working, but I'm not here for that) and noticed the lack of forums for CM13 support. I had a rezound many many years ago and back then there was a "dont want sense, dont get an HTC" sort of mentality. Is this still true? I want to try CM13 on it and can't find a certain link to a download. Do the nighties on the CM site work for all carrier variants, and generally are there problems on the device? Thanks in advance.
I think the GSM phones work better with CM13. Verizon seems to always be a little difficult. I think CM13 only has one unified build.
CM13 Builds
You can use CM13 on a Verizon M8, but my experience is that you'll lose 4G LTE unless you flash CM13, flash stock recovery, then factory reset. From there you can do whatever (including reflash a custom recovery). I'm currently using a stock ROM because CM13 was too buggy.
Any other major problems? Thanks for the feedback

CM13 user here, just wanted to chime in and say I've had basically 0 issues with it on the VZW M8 over the past several months. 4G works perfectly fine, it's nice and clean, just follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...m-cyanogenmod-13-0-nightlies-htc-one-t3256696
Every few weeks someone manages to work a minor bug into the nightlies (that's why they exist), but they are usually patched next day or overcome by simply reverting a day and waiting for a quick fix.
I can neither confirm nor deny the need to flash/revert/reset for 4G because this is something I already needed to do a while back for a completely different GPE ROM, but I didn't have any 4G issues when I switched to CM. I consider it an inevitable step when initially starting down the ROM path. Just back up whatever's important and go for it
