[ROM][Kernel][Unofficial][5.1.1] SaberMod CM12.1 for Jflte - Build Nov 7, 2015

[Chelonee]

Hello everyone, after some issues, I finally compiled today's build:

08/16/2014:

• Fixed some SD cards not being recognized by the system
• Added s-view/smart/flip cover support! Thank NamelessROM for that
• Synced with CM's stable branch. Proximity-wake detection went away because it doesn't entirely work, but it may come back next build for testing

Now everything should be working for everyone, I just wanted to get bug fixes and a missed patch for s-view/flip covers support in. Now I'll try to focus on looking at nice features to add

I'm still reading the thread for bug reports and any weirdness in the ROM. Thank you everyone for trying this out!

Just downloaded and will try it out asap.
I really like your combination (alucard kernel, optimizations etc.) and although I already know that I will miss Lockscreen notifications, i will try out your rom.

Thank you for sharing it with us! :highfive:

There should be root access, do this:
Settings > About phone > tap Build Number until you get a notification Developer Options have been enables
Go to Settings > Developer Options > Root Access and set it to any option other than 'Disabled'

did that , no root.(a remark I install the rom as multislot1 with dualboot)
(if I want to erase a program or ad a melody directly in the rom(with root browser), I can't)
THX

Hi again. I was doing this on my phone. But when I requested desktop page it went well. Thanks

Hi. I don't know what happens, but for some reason notifications in status bar start flickering occasionally. Clearing notifications helps to fix this. Thanks

Hi, I've seen this problem a lot. I had it also, try to go to developers options and check box "Disable HW Overlays", this should make the GPU render things rather than the CPU which might be causing this.

Lately I have a theme on my phone and now I don't see the flickering happening anymore

Could you try flashing SuperSU and see if that fixes anything?

Build 8/19, Speakerphone target!

I'm sorry for all the recent releases so close together, but I think this is a good place to stop, take a minute and slow down with adding features.

08/19/2014:

• Built with a newer SaberMod toolchain thanks to @kantjer
• Updated Alucard's kernel to 2.7.1
• Tweaked smart/quick pulldown thanks to NamelessROM
• Added FauxClock, KTweaker and STweaks icons to the settings menu http://imgur.com/Xd0U9t2
• Added speakerphone target when answering a call! http://imgur.com/JU6IeLO

I cannot get root access to the /system Folder where build.prop is located. Tried several apps and file browsers with root. Also the media scanner doesn't find music files or ringtones/notifications on the media card.
Also noticed some WLAN hiccups when downloading.
But I really like the snappiness oft this rom.
Set the Animation Time to 0.6 and its close to no delay.

I have that problem with the /system folder also, I've been trying to find a solution for that. I thought I was the only one with that problem. A workaround is to plug your phone to a computer and use the adb command: "adb remount" and it should remount /system as read/write

As for the media scanner, I don't know what to say. It works for me. Can you try unmounting and remounting your SD card from Settings > Storage > Unmount SD card. Or another way would be to force media scanning with Settings > Developer Options > Launch Tools > Media Provider and click scan SD card

Let me know if these work for you

The issue with getting access to /system may lie with superuser. Flash super su and let that handle all root requests instead and you should have access to /system without having to do adb remount each time.

Tried using Koush's Superuser from the Play Store and it didn't help, but using SuperSU fixes mounting /system. Thanks for the advice.

@Cozmos23 Are you on ART? I'm just asking to see if the stock SU's binary gets weird with ART enabled. Edit: I switched back to Dalvik and I still can't mount /system as write, so I may just switch over to SuperSU since it seems stock superuser might not be compatible with all apps

And if anyone else is suffering from this, could they also chime in? I'll ask in the main CM11 thread about this also

Build 8/27/2014!

Hey everyone, just a quick build for some features I'm sure some people want

08/27/2014:

• Updated Nova Launcher to 3.1
• Switched to SuperSU v2.0.4 because it is compatible with a lot more apps than the Stock SU
  
  You may have to update the SU binary after the flash. You should also go into SuperSU and enable survival through ROM flashes for future updates​
• Added SuperSU to the settings menu
• Fixed Smart/Quick pulldown summaries
• Synced with CM for more features!
  • Enabled In-call recording
  • Added S-view/Smart cover

A note on call recording. The feature is enabled, but be sure to follow all laws and regulations about call recording and consent from both parties on the line. I won't be held responsible for what you do with this, and neither will CM.

THX for the update. The problem with the SD Card still persists. I don't get it. The reason why the Media Scanner doesn't find the music is because the folders are shown as files. I made a screenshot but I forgot to copy on ext. SD. and converted from f2fs to ext4 which included a full internal wipe
Maybe its related to the size of the sd card, its not officially supported but works on stock cm.

How big is your SD card?
When was the last time you used those media files successfully, like how long ago and on what ROM?
Maybe you can try backing up your files, formatting the SD card and see if the files can be viewed after that

 

[Cozmos23]

Yeh 128GB should take a few hours to back things up.
Working on PA, Carbon and CM11 up to M9 without problems.
Haven't tested the latest nightlys yet.
Will check another sd card soon, then I will know for sure if its related to the bigger sd card.

Rather than format as replace everything since it's so big, try this:
Go to Setting-> applications-> All-> Search for Media storage-> Clear the data & Stop it (force Close). Again start this service.
Reboot the device in Recovery ( If you are rooted) then clear only dalvik cache.
Now, it will take 15 min to scan your device media.

Thx for the help but it doesn´t help

Same problem on the 2nd sd card which is Samsung 64GB and should be supported by this phone.

I made a screenshot.
The names from the folders are correct and also the space is used on the sd card, but the filemanager shows the folders as files with 0 bytes.

Btw. estimated time for copy files from phone was 3h25min ^^

Tried to format but I cant get access to the sdcard.
Cannot create folders or copy anything on it.

Final M9 based build!

Hello everyone, thank you to all 70+ of you who tried out the ROM. I'd never thought I'd get this much attention, however some feedback, good and bad are welcome in the thread.

I was checking Github today and it seems that CM has been updating the stable branch for M10's release. I see that there are a LOT of kernel changes, so they may be changing to the newer CAF resources among other resources for the other parts of the ROM, so I thought I'd get out one last build based on M9. With all the big changes coming up I might clean out my Github sources and reapply my commits once M10 is released and everything looks good.

Hope you all enjoy! And remember, please leave feedback!

09/04/2014:

• Final M9 based build!
• Compiled with SaberMod optimized for Cortex-A15 devices
• Increased earpiece volume in calls (Mainly for me because I'm partially deaf)
• Changed to an earlier SuperSU apk v2.0.1 (This doesn't really matter much, the SU binary for 2.0+ so far is the same, only the apk has changed)
• Updated to latest Alucard kernel. Flashing this will wipe your '/data/.alucard' folder as recommended by Alucard himself, make a backup of your current settings.
• Updated ad-blocking hosts file
• Small battery improvements
