You can either pull the battery -OR- hold down the power button for 15 seconds till the screen goes blank, then let go of the power button.. Then after another 4 seconds it will automatically boot and vibrate and everything is 100% normal.. It only happens that one time on a new Rom install with SuperSU.

OPTIMIZED CM13 ROM (Android 6.0.1)
By JDC TEAM using TWRP RECOVERY



I will not be held responsible for you messing up your phone. It worked for me.. It SHOULD work for you.
This does trip your Knox Warranty Bit. This does void your warranty.
.

*NOTE: The lines marked for Windows 7 is only that single line.. the rest of the instructions are for ANY versions of Windows.

= Windows 7 ONLY: Download to your PC: Samsung KIES3 - found [HERE].
= Download to your PC: ODIN 3 v3.10.7 - found [HERE]
= Download to your PC: TWRP Recovery 3.0.*-jfltexx.img.tar - found [HERE].
= Download to your Phones External MicroSD Card: Optimized CM13.0 ROM - found [HERE].
= Download to your Phones External MicroSD Card: Open GApps 6.0 - found [HERE]- (Look for "open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-[DATE].zip")

= Power ON your phone and boot into the normal system.
= CHARGE YOUR PHONE TO AT LEAST 80%.. if your battery runs out while your flashing or loading you will be in trouble!!
= Windows 7 ONLY: Install KIES3 on your PC -- You must install KIES3 in order to install the Samsung phone drivers -- You do not actually need to use it. (Windows 8/8.1/10 does this automatically on the next step).
= Win 7/8/8.1/10: Plug your phone into your PC via USB cable.. WAIT for your PC to finish installing drivers.
= TRANSFER all the needed files to your phone now.. put the files in a 'ROM' folder on your External MicroSD Card.
= Unplug your phone from your PC.
= Power OFF your phone.
= Boot your phone into DOWNLOAD MODE (While Powered OFF - HOLD Power, Home, and Volume DOWN buttons for 6 secs, let go as soon as the screen changes).. then press the Vol UP button.
= Run ODIN3-v3.10.7 on your PC -- use "Run as Administrator".
= Plug in your phone (phone is still in Download Mode) via USB cable to your PC.
= In ODIN3: Make sure you see "COM #" and "ADDED!!" -- SEE HELP IMAGE HERE
* If you Do NOT see the 'COM#' and 'ADDED!!' then Samsung Drivers is Installed INCORRECTLY!
* If you DO see the 'COM#' and 'ADDED!!' then you Can Continue Below to the Next Step.

= Insert the 'twrp-3.0.*-jfltexx.img.tar' file in "AP" - Click START -- SEE HELP IMAGE HERE
= Wait for your phone to reboot into system.
= You can unplug your USB cable now.
= Power OFF your phone.
* Your custom recovery is now successfully installed!
= Boot into TWRP Recovery (While Powered OFF - HOLD Power, Home, and Volume UP buttons for 6 secs).. Let go of the buttons after the vibrate but just before you see the small blue writing appear at the top.. I was holding mine down for too long and it would just boot like normal and not recovery mode.
= MAKE A CURRENT BACKUP: Tap 'Select Storage' near the bottom > Select "Micro SDCard" > then "OK"
= Backup: Tick (enable): EFS Only > Swipe to Backup -- Hint: Change the filename from 'Auto-Generate' to 'EFS-ONLY'
* Note: You should only backup EFS by itself.. You only need to backup EFS one (1) time ever.
= Backup: Tick (enable): Boot, System, Data > Swipe to Backup -- Hint: You may change the filename from 'Auto-Generate' but its optional.
= Go back to Main Menu
= 'WIPE' > 'ADVANCED WIPE' > Tick (enable): Dalvik/ART Cache, Cache, Data, Internal Storage, and System.
= 'SWIPE TO WIPE'
= Go back one menu then 'FORMAT DATA' - type 'YES' and press blue checkmark.
= Go back to Main Menu
= Install Optimized CM13 ROM by Clicking 'INSTALL' > Find your Optimized CM13 ROM you downloaded. --> 'Select Storage' (near the bottom) > 'Micro SDCard' > 'OK'.
= Install Open GApps by Clicking 'ADD MORE ZIPS' > Find your Open GApps you downloaded.
= 'SWIPE to Confirm Flash'.
= Wait for completion.
= 'Wipe Cache and Dalvik'.
= 'REBOOT' into system.
* Your System is now successfully Installed!

* After your initial setup you need to tweak a few things:
= Settings > Location > Change to 'Device Only'.
= Settings > Location > 3-Dots > Scanning > DISABLE (untick) Wifi Scanning and Bluetooth Scanning.
= Pull-Down Notification Panel > GPS (Device Only) changed to disabled.
= App Drawer > Google > 3-Lines > Settings > Now Cards > Turn OFF
= App Drawer > Google > 3-Lines > Settings > Voice > OK GOOGLE Detection > Turn OFF
* You should setup SuperSU first thing.
= Go to Settings > Optimized CM Settings > Developer Options > Root Access > Turn ON (enable) 'APPS and ADB'.
= Install SuperSU by Chainfire from the Play Store and Update Binaries. (See SuperSU notes below)
= Enjoy!


* SuperSU Notes: A basic Superuser is pre-installed with this Rom (called 'Privacy Guard)'. It does Not give you any control. You will be able to use the traditional SuperSU from the Play Store (updating the SuperSU binaries will be Successful). After you have updated the binaries it will work great with our phones. SuperSU Pro Key can be installed from the Play Store. BUSYBOX SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED. ITS ALREADY PRE-BUILT INTO THIS ROM.
When Privacy Guard prompts you in SuperSU for access, click 'Remember my choice' and hit 'ALLOW'.
You will never be prompted like this again. SuperSU will now take over control.

* IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH MOBILE DATA, PHONE CALLS, OR TEXT MESSAGES ALWAYS CHECK YOUR APN SETTINGS! *

Tricks and Tips of this ROM

  • STweaks shows "no kernel support", what to do? Go in Developer options and enable root.
  • ADB logcat is disabled by default.Run STweaks,go to OTHER tab and enable it :)
  • If you issue microphone volume problems-> Look here

Get the benefits of F2FS(Speed!)
Using F2FS
What it is? Wikipedia

To use it you should first convert your EXT4 partitions through recovery, before installing this ROM.

On TWRP:
  1. Download and install TWRP from post #1
  2. Wipe->advanced wipe
  3. Select cache->change or repair file system->f2fs
  4. Select data->change or repair file system->f2fs (Warning: internal storage is formatted, make a backup of your personal data before doing this!)

About Logs/LogCat

Logcat is disabled by default.
Why?
  • Less battery consumption
  • Less CPU Load
How to enable it:
  1. Run STweaks
  2. Swipe to right side/menu and reach the one called "OTHER"
  3. Enable logcat from there

About GAPPS

GApps & Google Search Clarification: The test team has determined most GApps packages trigger the dreaded "Unfortunately, Bluetooth Share has stopped" error message (BSE). The problem seems to stem from the bundled Google Search app. If you use OpenGapps (pico) and simply download the Google Search app from the Play Store, you should be error-free and you can use all of Google's features (ie. OK Google, Google Search, Google Now, etc.).

Bottom line: You will have many less problems if you use OpenGapps (pico). It was just discovered that there seems to be a problem with the 6/18 version which may not allow you to download apps from the Play Store resulting in Error DF-DLA-15. To avoid the possibility of getting this error, use an older version of pico gapps like 6/17 which works flawlessly.
Οf course if you dont use BT you can freely use Banks Gapps or A-Gapps!

STweaks Corner

My old STweaks profile:

  • Governor: interactive for all CPUs
  • min CPU frequency = 1 scale before max.
  • ZRAM disabled
  • GPU performance governor.
Antutu benchmark score 40500.Lost 1% of battery after 2 hours of sleep device.No hotness while antutu was running.
i dont care for battery life.

PS.i also use f2fs

My latest STweaks profile to attachments
To install it,paste it to internal storage,select 'default profile' at stweaks if u changed it.
if not,then simply press IMPORT from the most-right menu.Reboot after import just to be sure :)

  • locations/settings/bluetooth scanning disabled

  • backup and reset/disable automatic restore

RILJ Work-around


Some infos about RILJ wakelock.
RILJ is the background process that is functioning the phone signal/location etc.if you got drain that maybe means
  • you got wrong baseband/modem/ril.PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THIS AND USE THE CORRECT ONE
  • you got a full pack of gapps.if yes,please disable the 'news and weather' app.
  • the quickly change of signal's strength will always keep rilj busy.

Try some things like:
Use Wakelock Terminator to block the wakelock of RILJ.

and
1. Turn on airplane mode
2. Turn off the phone and pull out the battery for a couple of minutes (~2 minutes)
3. Put the battery on then turn on the phone
4. After it booted, turn off the airplane mode..

About the touch screen bug on SOME devices
For the minority of users who got issues with touch screen after sleep,please use the stock kernel from nightlies until i will be able to fix it :) .
Here is how to

Initial impressions:
- Rom is buttery smooth
- No random reboots (so far) which is great because I was plagued with them in the CM13 nightlies
- Snap Camera working great
- No wifi issues so far
- Successfully streamed music via bluetooth
Thank you JDC Team!

What about gaming performance and battery life in this rom??

Envoyé de mon GT-I9505 en utilisant Tapatalk

Gaming performance can be changed.Kernel is so flexible through STweaks app ,so i believe u wont have issue on it

Personally when i want play games,i use the Performance profile of STweaks ....

battery life ? :)
I would answer the same.According to what u do u can use the STweaks profile.
i use extreme battery profile and i got epic battery life + normal performance for daily use.

Just installed the rom! It looks good so far except one issue. I have no Data =\. I can't even change from LTE to 3G to 2G at all. Actually there are no APN available for my carrier lol. im gonna manually add them and see how it goes.

I have I337M model and i am using 5.0.1 OH1 modem and bootloader.

So I manually added the LTE apn. Rebooted my phone and then i got following:

"android.phone" crashed. I opened settings and it took 30 seconds to load. Also, now it says there is no sim card inserted when there is =\. This happened after I entered APN settings manually.

    OPTIMIZED CM13 ROM (Android 6.0.1)
    By JDC TEAM using TWRP RECOVERY



    I will not be held responsible for you messing up your phone. It worked for me.. It SHOULD work for you.
    This does trip your Knox Warranty Bit. This does void your warranty.
    .

    *NOTE: The lines marked for Windows 7 is only that single line.. the rest of the instructions are for ANY versions of Windows.

    = Windows 7 ONLY: Download to your PC: Samsung KIES3 - found [HERE].
    = Download to your PC: ODIN 3 v3.10.7 - found [HERE]
    = Download to your PC: TWRP Recovery 3.0.*-jfltexx.img.tar - found [HERE].
    = Download to your Phones External MicroSD Card: Optimized CM13.0 ROM - found [HERE].
    = Download to your Phones External MicroSD Card: Open GApps 6.0 - found [HERE]- (Look for "open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-[DATE].zip")

    = Power ON your phone and boot into the normal system.
    = CHARGE YOUR PHONE TO AT LEAST 80%.. if your battery runs out while your flashing or loading you will be in trouble!!
    = Windows 7 ONLY: Install KIES3 on your PC -- You must install KIES3 in order to install the Samsung phone drivers -- You do not actually need to use it. (Windows 8/8.1/10 does this automatically on the next step).
    = Win 7/8/8.1/10: Plug your phone into your PC via USB cable.. WAIT for your PC to finish installing drivers.
    = TRANSFER all the needed files to your phone now.. put the files in a 'ROM' folder on your External MicroSD Card.
    = Unplug your phone from your PC.
    = Power OFF your phone.
    = Boot your phone into DOWNLOAD MODE (While Powered OFF - HOLD Power, Home, and Volume DOWN buttons for 6 secs, let go as soon as the screen changes).. then press the Vol UP button.
    = Run ODIN3-v3.10.7 on your PC -- use "Run as Administrator".
    = Plug in your phone (phone is still in Download Mode) via USB cable to your PC.
    = In ODIN3: Make sure you see "COM #" and "ADDED!!" -- SEE HELP IMAGE HERE
    * If you Do NOT see the 'COM#' and 'ADDED!!' then Samsung Drivers is Installed INCORRECTLY!
    * If you DO see the 'COM#' and 'ADDED!!' then you Can Continue Below to the Next Step.

    = Insert the 'twrp-3.0.*-jfltexx.img.tar' file in "AP" - Click START -- SEE HELP IMAGE HERE
    = Wait for your phone to reboot into system.
    = You can unplug your USB cable now.
    = Power OFF your phone.
    * Your custom recovery is now successfully installed!
    = Boot into TWRP Recovery (While Powered OFF - HOLD Power, Home, and Volume UP buttons for 6 secs).. Let go of the buttons after the vibrate but just before you see the small blue writing appear at the top.. I was holding mine down for too long and it would just boot like normal and not recovery mode.
    = MAKE A CURRENT BACKUP: Tap 'Select Storage' near the bottom > Select "Micro SDCard" > then "OK"
    = Backup: Tick (enable): EFS Only > Swipe to Backup -- Hint: Change the filename from 'Auto-Generate' to 'EFS-ONLY'
    * Note: You should only backup EFS by itself.. You only need to backup EFS one (1) time ever.
    = Backup: Tick (enable): Boot, System, Data > Swipe to Backup -- Hint: You may change the filename from 'Auto-Generate' but its optional.
    = Go back to Main Menu
    = 'WIPE' > 'ADVANCED WIPE' > Tick (enable): Dalvik/ART Cache, Cache, Data, Internal Storage, and System.
    = 'SWIPE TO WIPE'
    = Go back one menu then 'FORMAT DATA' - type 'YES' and press blue checkmark.
    = Go back to Main Menu
    = Install Optimized CM13 ROM by Clicking 'INSTALL' > Find your Optimized CM13 ROM you downloaded. --> 'Select Storage' (near the bottom) > 'Micro SDCard' > 'OK'.
    = Install Open GApps by Clicking 'ADD MORE ZIPS' > Find your Open GApps you downloaded.
    = 'SWIPE to Confirm Flash'.
    = Wait for completion.
    = 'Wipe Cache and Dalvik'.
    = 'REBOOT' into system.
    * Your System is now successfully Installed!

    * After your initial setup you need to tweak a few things:
    = Settings > Location > Change to 'Device Only'.
    = Settings > Location > 3-Dots > Scanning > DISABLE (untick) Wifi Scanning and Bluetooth Scanning.
    = Pull-Down Notification Panel > GPS (Device Only) changed to disabled.
    = App Drawer > Google > 3-Lines > Settings > Now Cards > Turn OFF
    = App Drawer > Google > 3-Lines > Settings > Voice > OK GOOGLE Detection > Turn OFF
    * You should setup SuperSU first thing.
    = Go to Settings > Optimized CM Settings > Developer Options > Root Access > Turn ON (enable) 'APPS and ADB'.
    = Install SuperSU by Chainfire from the Play Store and Update Binaries. (See SuperSU notes below)
    = Enjoy!


    * SuperSU Notes: A basic Superuser is pre-installed with this Rom (called 'Privacy Guard)'. It does Not give you any control. You will be able to use the traditional SuperSU from the Play Store (updating the SuperSU binaries will be Successful). After you have updated the binaries it will work great with our phones. SuperSU Pro Key can be installed from the Play Store. BUSYBOX SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED. ITS ALREADY PRE-BUILT INTO THIS ROM.
    When Privacy Guard prompts you in SuperSU for access, click 'Remember my choice' and hit 'ALLOW'.
    You will never be prompted like this again. SuperSU will now take over control.

    * IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH MOBILE DATA, PHONE CALLS, OR TEXT MESSAGES ALWAYS CHECK YOUR APN SETTINGS! *

    Hello everyone...Today is a beautiful and sad day at the same time.
    Here is the final version of OptimizedCM13.0 ...
    Its sad day because i feel a bit sad that i leave that ROM.i worked a lot on it and it was so beautiful
    Its a beautiful day because we are turning our dev page and we are moving on OptimizedCM14.0
    I would like to THANK YOU ALL people.with your nice comments and bug reports we(me,test team and JDCs) managed
    to do that ROM which we think its a nice rom.
    We wait you all at OptCM14.0 topic :D !!!

    Some notes:
    This ROM is named "FinalSide" because its MY final dev on this rom.maybe one day someone of my people
    want to maintain it and release a new update!Of course i will also test that before release.

    For ViPER4Android:
    Run it and WAIT for everything it will ask.Dont close the app.let it load even it says "Forced closed.Wait or close"
    Select WAIT and wait until it will ask to reboot.

    About STweaks/kernel/Ramdisk
    There are MANY updates on those 3 sectors.Please read carefully the AROMA guide for kernel editor.PLEASE :p

    My personal edits on the ROM:
    Disable NFC
    Disable AdaptiveBrightness
    Disable LiveDisplay(Display/LiveDisplay/Display mode OFF)
    STweaks:
    I reduced the 3 lowest frequency's voltage by 1 step only.
    ZRAM offline.
    Rest are config'ed as they are supposed to.

    So lets get down to our business....
    Rom is here
    PLEASE MAKE A FULL WIPE SINCE ITS THE FINAL VERSION.

    YOU HAVE TO WIPE FROM TWRP BEFORE RUN AROMA

    Some notes about that build....please read them all except advance user section
    first of all:ALL THE ''BUGS'' RELATED TO CAMERA-GALLERY WILL BE FIXED WHEN CM FIX THE SNAP CAMERA.
    I JUST ADD OPTIONS TO AROMA,TO MAKE USER MORE FLEXIBLE


    About Camera
    Many things are not going as we would like to...First of all...Since CM is busy with other stuff and doesnt want to fix camera app for S4,i added the old good AOSP camera inside as default...although i added Snap camera too for those who doesnt want to edit the mpxs of camera...(2 options are always better of forced option)
    if you select both aosp and snap to be installed,then the first run of AOSP camera will crash(messing permissions with snap's permissions ? ) dont worry..give the permissions needed and run again.wont happen again :)

    About SuperSU
    Me and test team recognized that supersu is better than privacy guard that comes inside CM.So we decided to add SuperSU to aroma for all of you and mark it as recommended.After installation of rom is finished and reboot to system,YOU MAY SEE THE DEVICE REBOOT TWICE...thats normal.its caused by supersu flash.dont worry.it wont happen again

    About gapps
    We have said it many times guys...
    1. Wipe from aroma(or TWRP and do nothing at aroma)
    2. flash rom
    3. FLASH GAPPS
    4. reboot
    Dont keep messing with it :) if you reboot to your rom and had gapps forgotten,go to twrp and reflash the rom.then flash gapps and then reboot

    About new Gallery app
    Many users may notice the changed gallery...its not a themed gallery.its the latest gallery app from Google AOSP source code.i added it just for test and....a feel of change :) it is also working nicely with AOSP camera(swipe right from camera to get inside gallery-although sometimes it shows black thumbnails...but running app is showing pictures fine).Although there is a minor issue.you cant change wallpaper by holding touch on home screen and select wallpaper...logcat says something about gallery so i guess its AOSP gallerytrebuchet issue..i didnt mess a lot with it...you can still go to gallery,select your image and set it as wallpaper...Notice:hold touch for wallpaper works fine on nova launcher

    About first boot
    First boot of rom is the most important boot.We need a booted rom to make our custom edits works.
    custom roms like CM etc are custom but our rom is ...."more custom".it requires some stuff to be done.
    What we do after first boot:
    TO "WANNABE EXPERT-PRO" DEV ALERT
    Code:
    The following actions are made by me . they are not necessary for everyone.this is what i do and seems to work fine..replies like "lol omg wtf u say.nightly is not like that" etc are not needed. Get your brain work properly first. U may got skills but got sense?
    1. First of all let 10-15 seconds to settle the cellular,sensors etc...
    2. then (if supersu is selected) run stweaks and wait supersu to pop up.
    3. give it root access and let it load the stuff needed...
    4. make my edits on CRON and OTHER tabs if i want.
    5. Leave STweaks and go to settings app to disable stuff gestures ,livedisplay and other stuff that i feel they drain my battery.
    6. Do more personal stuff and perform a full reboot.

    Voting System
    Old users of that ROM may remember me saying "We are building the ROM"...
    i was thinking to make this sentence ,come true.
    XDA Threads provides Poll system.i am thinking to add polls about "what feature/bug u want to add/solve on next update?".So we can easily vote and move on :)
    Tell me your opinion about it

    Advanced user corner
    QMUXD notes
    Some notes/results etc about this update...This update is a critical update.contains big and risky kernel & ramdisk changes.first of all i removed the qmuxd logging...test team found a leak of qmuxd that makes the CPU0 stuck at a high freq producing extreme heat!...i found no way to fix that. @Chibbo said that ,this bug exists since years.
    When does it happens ? it happens when u turn logcat off ,from stweaks.
    Happens everytime ? No...doesnt happen on me but happens at @Chibbo .
    So its random ? i think no.something has to be done with connection of basebandqmuxdyour country

    Bluetooth notes
    another big issue...even if we have stabilize the BT somehow,there is always something new that will come and break our BT.i personally cant predict it.why?firstly cuz i am not that skilled secondly cuz i believe that any change coming to my upstream merge affects latest devices.so that ,it fcks our old bt device.Just like camera ,bt is a never-winning war.we just try to make it crash as less times as we can.current kernel has got old bt sources but is updated.
    Think about that even Touchwiz stock has got bugged bt [emoji14]
    I personally think bt crashes because it never closes,even if u kill the bt app...i dont know why that happens.
    a reboot every 2-3 days with cleared cache/data of bt app MAY reduce our disconnects/reconnects

    Camera notes
    Ah....dat camera.camera is the hardest thing to make it work perfect like stock.why ?cuz we dont have the camera sources from samsung.as i have said again,we use an "emulator" of driver for camera.so even if camera is fine we got to find a camera app that will support our hardware/drivers/custom rom.sadly not many people are able to hack samsungs camera lib.also think about s4 is an old device.who would spend that time ? all i personally know is that camera bugs due to memory leak.thats means a function is called but never returns OR the functions that we want to be called ,CANT be called.nevermind...dont expect stable camera .i think that Open Camera HDR uses some custom stuff but its a paid app
    Busybox notes
    member of test team said that busybox comes preinstalled to ROM.thats true....UNTIL NOW.
    We changed that....why ?some apps was recognizing our busybox but couldnt run even it was installed.so users was installing
    busybox from playstore and was overwriting ours.yes but our busybox was built to serve our kernel/stweaks
    overwriting it was messing issues...
    So what happent?
    We added a custom directory of busybox at sbin/bb/busybox
    This busybox is our busybox ,specially made for our rom/kernel/ramdisk scripts/stweaks
    if a user want to install an app that requires busybox,he can simply download busybox from playstore just like he would do if he hadnt install it...changing the directory let us "hide" our busybox from default directories

    Build CLANG with -O3 flag
    clang is the new prebuilt that google switched to ,to build roms....its a c++ compiler ,newer than GCC
    so -O3 flag is actually meaning to optimize the source code increasing the size of ROM (it gave +8mb to us).
    Theoritically it will give us a better UI response,a better RAM writes,and overall performance

    Thank you @AntaresOne for this great ROM and for every development you have done for our device!
