Aside from the camera modes, do all of the key functions of this ROM work?

If so, I'll be installing it this evening after work!

I have been waiting months for CM to be working on the i9506, so huge thanks to you!

I can't gurantee that everything will work fine. I can't test LTE coz I dont have it in my country. But I am using it for a couple of days. And till now I found this issue, moslty with slow motion recording and with sip calls audio. Skype works fine.

 

[singoutout]

Hey

Thanks for your hard work. I'll test that soon and report back. Just a couple of questions though:
- how is battery life?
- you mentionned a problem with SIP call, but is it still usable for daily call?

Thanks again for your hard work

Battery life apears to me better then on stock rom. But I hadn't tested much with latest build. Made it only today.
It may be dependent on which codec is used with your sip provider. I don't know if it will be usable. I'll look into it next week.

 

[boart]

After installing i get error message: "unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped." Did anyone of you have same error? Or an idea how i can solve it?
Im using it in germany (if that occurs the error, but i don't think so)

I use this recovery: [RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL]ClockWorkMod Recovery 6.0.4.8 for i9506 (fixed extSD, USB)

 

[mezo91]

Looks promising. Good job.

Or wait for the next release.

I have tried flashing this this evening but have discovered that my phone is i9506 / ks01lteskt and this ROM throws an error (7) when I try to flash it.

Should this be compatible?

Custom earphones don't work either. Seems the jack doesn't recognize any of them?

 

[mezo91]

Bugs ive seen so far:

1. Headphones dont work (inserted in jack and phone speakers producing the sound)
2. Menu button doesnt work in titanium back up (dont know if rom bug or problem with tb)
3. The phone heats up alot so i went to check performance in settings i found that what ever i do the min freq keeps returning to 1728

I tried to change governor, and disable per app profile the min freq come back to that specific speed and locks. (I don't know if thats a bug or it should work that way, i said i should just report)

I reckon Titanium Backup problem is the same as with me. I had to enable USB debugging first, make sure TB gets root access and restart TB. It warns about USB debugging if it's not enabled by default. It can be enabled by going to system settings, about phone and tapping "build number" like times.
