That's my test script tho and if u dont like it u can delete it urself coz I'm still trying anything I have known to get a fix or a workaround fo gps. That script has the exact commands u typed in tho but idk why it doesn't work. Just leave it there if I can find sth useful to put in later (like a placeholder) and that's my WIP. Leaving it there doesn't hurt anything I think. @Dwack I will pm u back asap coz my weekdays are full. Thanks fo picking it up fo me tho :).

I installed 14.01.01 kernel zip (basically same as 04 build and 0902 build kernels) and boom video recording works again. I guess kernels leaving 353mb allows for video recording then we can just use mxplayer to play videos command line gps heh. Anyway so im flaahin 07 rom with first 14.01.01 kernel which makes rhw battery life way better and rom much faster

Thanks for the suggestion, I did the same and have good results so far as well. Video recorder was fixed, and performance is still good. I was noticing what seemed to be a bit more battery drain on 07 from previous versions.

Its the same script as the file executed with gpsd. No need to get your panties in a bunch. I was responding to a user and gave that command to test to see if gps data would rehash like on kj6. My gpa is working and videos so im happy now

Just downloaded the latest (Beta 2) Gapps posted here and tried the Terminal command for GPS, and it seems to work for me. I'm also on Beanstalk instead of SlimSaber, in case that's worth mentioning.

Dao i think you just need to get that main command running as root in background on startup. Try sleep 15 first or something. Whenever an app requests gps it will turn it on if thr app is in the foreground and gpsd is in the background. That is, setting high accuracy should be the only manual setting. The 07 enables disables icon gui for all location with a tap so. I see that u have it in there to execute on boot. Im trying to figure same thing out. But 07 crazy fast gps :)

Is anyone able to record videos? Every time I try the camera app stops working and it keeps showing the "unfortunately..." message until I restart.

Which version rom are you on? I think you are on 07. Search for kernel by dao 14.01.01 kernel and flash that then you will be able to record video. Install mx player to play back videos. Or flash 04 dated rom and you should be able to record without problems on that version

I believe that the video issues are related to the kernel not being able to properly load the PowerVR drivers.

If someone that has a SlimSaber build tree would test https://github.com/jeffsf/cm_android_kernel_samsung_aries on the jmk-fix-dtd-video branch, that would help. (I don't have a SlimSaber build environment up.)

Please read the commit notes to make sure you have compatible PowerVR drivers in your build tree. You can confirm that at least you have the proper OpenGL ES v2 build number (2112805) by
(these from the widely available aries-common tree)
Code: 
$ strings proprietary/libGLESv2_POWERVR_SGX540_120.so | fgrep build
OpenGL ES GLSL ES 1.00 build 1.8.GOOGLENEXUS.ED945322@2112805
OpenGL ES 2.0 build 1.8.GOOGLENEXUS.ED945322@2112805
(commit notes hidden)
Code: 
commit b1844f8d991cfacf46ec82fb3e05ad9f1e580173 (HEAD, dtd-patches/jmk-fix-dtd-video, jmk-fix-dtd-video)
Author: Jeff Kletsky <git-commits@allycomm.com>
Date:   Wed Feb 19 22:40:14 2014 -0800

    Revert "gpu: pvr: Update to DDK 1.8@2198402" -- no blobs confirmed to work
    
    This reverts commit df2ba9700e75d52daacf24c84bb33269cb7ebb92.
    
    This should let SGH-T959V "aries" kernels properly load the PowerVR drivers
    and will likely resolve many of the video-related issues reported
    
    It is suggested that drivers equivalent to the
    "crespo" Nexus Drivers for Android 4.1.2 be used.

For some reason, flashing the kernel would make it so if i lose signal sometimes i would not get it back until I restart the phone.

    SlimKat galaxys4gmtd SaberMod 4.8 Unofficial builds
    Making SlimKat more faster and smoother​

    0pvn.png

    SlimROM: SaberMod toolchain 4.8
    SlimKernel: SaberMod toolchain 4.7

    ​

    Disclaimer
    I'm not responsible for any damages on your device.

    After having a good response for some months in the i9100 thread, @fusionjack decided to share this build with n7000. And now I build it for Samsung Galaxy S 4G a.k.a galaxys4gmtd.
    This build is compiled using SaberMod toolchain and like the official one, it is built derived from the same source: Slimroms github. @fusionjack could cherry-pick some commits ahead from Slim team or patches from other repositories that he finds useful.
    The ROM and the kernel are tested by me first before I make it available online. I could have overseen something during testing, please be understand.
    In summary, it is still Slimkat that is compiled with SaberMod toolchain.
    !!! Please don't discuss these unofficial builds in the official thread. User can get confuse easily. !!!

    Additional changes
    • Compiled with a custom toolchain Sabermod for more performance and better battery life.
    • Compiled with the most GCC optimization level -O3.
    • Compiled with strict-aliasing compiler optimization.
    • Added 40+ patches to fix GCC strict-aliasing violation rules.
    • Added ARMv7 and Cortex-A8 optimized string handling routines for more smoothness and more memory optimization.
    • Added some AOSP fixes and improvements.
    • Added some VanirAOSP fixes and improvements.
    • Added patches from AOSP for better ART performance.
    • Added Active Display and Network Usage from ChameleonOS. Not yet available on kitkat.
    • Disabled SQLite fsync to increase I/O performance.
    Installation instructions
    Coming from 4.1.x or 4.2.x or 4.3.x or another ROM to 4.4.x:

    jeffsf said:
    OK, this is what is working for me to go to/from Team Acid CM9 and has been pretty reliable so far:

    Make sure you have backups of /efs put away somewhere safe!

    From JB or ICS (make full backups first, at least TWRP and hopefully Titanium Backup or equivalent as well)
    • Reboot recovery
    • Install this ROM
    • Reboot recovery
    • Advanced Wipe; /system, /data, /cache
    • Install this ROM - again
    • Make TWRP backups
    • Reboot

    Once you have TWRP backups of your "target" build, you can flip/flop reasonably easily
    • Reboot recovery
    • Restore TWRP backup of Boot of target build
    • Reboot recovery
    • Advanced Wipe; /system, /data, /cache
    • Restore TWRP backups of target build
    • Boot into target

    This should work as long as /efs and /radio haven't moved.

    Coming from previous unofficial build:
    • Wipe cache and dalvik cache.
    • Flash the unofficial build.
    • No need to re-flash gapps. Gapps will be restored back automatically by backup tool during flashing.

    So...wassup?


    • Updated to Newest Slimsaber source, based on Slimkat 3.6
    • Merged the revert patch for powerVR driver - Thanks Jeffsf
    • Integrated the GPS init script - Thanks to Team Acid ancient work and inimeg81 to find out. So basically, it should work at switching a button.
    • O3 optimizations.
    • Wifi suplicant increased to 300

    • Maybe this would be my last build. Newers should be rolling out soon from initmeg81 or someone else's build box.
    AND I, especially, want to thank @ariesgodofwar for his donation. Maybe it is small to you but it is really so much in my currency. So thanks man :). (there maybe others' that I might have missed)

    A lil update on Knock on feature: I just got the touchwake to work even when the power key is pressed. But sadly, the double touch part is not working yet, just single tap mode works. This should benefit to ones using cover most ^^. Btw, Touchwake module is now updated to 1.1a also. In hope just a couple of days that I can make it fully work on my demand and push it out to public ;).

    New build is up. ROM Changelog, as always: http://goo.im/devs/fusionjack/SlimSaber/Changelog
    Build date: 20140501
    MD5: 55328246555f5ac3164620b92f7a30af SlimSaber-galaxys4gmtd-4.4.2-20140501.zip
    Kernel: 3.0.101-NiLTMTv14.04.01
    Slim version: 4.4 UNOFFICIAL
    Device Changelog:

    • Remove Modem.bin flashing process as you all should be on MTD ROMs b4 flashing and to slim down the zip size.
    • Own libcamera tracking (Camera doesn't work on my testing phone, doubting -O3 flag as it did happen the same to Bluetooth on JB 4.3 Slimbean Linaro and as Camera works on Beanstalk which actually is sharing the same device tree with skimsaber except for O3 flags, reported by some users)
    • ZRAM fully supported.
    Kernel Changelog:

    • Started from scratch, means it isn't much different from upstream and there will be more to come.
    • Random Entropy tweaks - re-added
    • Deepidle support - re-added
    • Fast charge support - re-added
    • Built with Linaro/SaberMod toolchain 4.7 - Compare to Beanstalk's kernel.
    Download: OP a.k.a First post to get link.

    Edit: seems like the camera on my phone is dead that it doesn't work even on beanstalk. And it made a sound like the hardware was in trouble everytime I start the camera so I can't test cam myself anymore, hope someone can report to me how the cam works so I can decide whether keep using O3 flags or not. Thanks!
