[ROM][Unofficial] Synergy's CyanogenMod 13.0 for Jflte GSM/CDMA - Build May 15, 2016

Synergy510 · Dec 17, 2015 at 4:15 AM

Introduction
This is a my own modified CyanogenMod ROM for the Galaxy S4 jflte devices built with UBER Toolchains, globally applied compiler optimization flags and other cherry-picks from around XDA, Github, or Gerrit. The ROM is only filled with what I feel helps performance and battery life, so the commits are constantly changing and it's not tied down to one toolchain or optimization. Building these ROMs is a fun hobby of mine that I want to share with everyone on XDA.

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any damages to your device, always have a nandroid on hand if anything happens.

Bugs

Bluetooth audio stream (A2DP) may work in most cases.
Having an incoming call while connected to bluetooth audio devices can lock up your phone. Turn off your bluetooth device immediately to answer the call. Disable Phone Audio on your Bluetooth device to prevent the lock up in the future.
Wifi may lose connection during sleep (For some people)
If LTE may not connect on boot, go to APN settings choose another APN, then switch back to the default one
SuperSU: Read up in this thread about flashing the proper version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344

Unpack proper blobs per variant

How To Report Bugs

In order to get your questions answered the fastest, please use these questions as a template in your posts. This reduces the amount of back-and-forth I need to do when trying to give you an answer. This also makes it easier for anyone else to give you an answer.

What build did you flash? Jfltegsm/Jfltecdma.

Which GApps did you use?

Did you flash anything else? (e.g. SuperSU, Viper4Android, Xposed)

What version and variant of TWRP are you using? (e.g. TWRP 2.8.7.0 for jfltetmo, TWRP 2.8.7.0 by Antares)

Did you verify the MD5 sum on the packages you flashed?

Are you able to reproduce the issue?

Is it an issue that not listed in the OP?

Were you able to find this issue on any other CM based ROM?

Please copy and paste this into your replies for the fastest and easiest response.

Synergy510 · Dec 17, 2015

Hey guys!

Finally got this project off the ground as soon as my first jfltecdma build completed. I advise any CDMA users to try out the variant ROMs found in my cm12.1 thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64298864&postcount=1620. This is to ensure thatyou start on something solid before moving onto something experimental. Yes, the CDMA build is untested, so I may be missing something from that build, and I need your help to make it a working build!

Jfltegsm should work fine, I test that personally because I have a jfltetmo variant. I still need someone to verify that jflteatt works, though.

A separate kernel zip will come once I get the time to do that.

Please guys, let me know what you think and I hope you all enjoy!

jeffrey1296 · Dec 17, 2015 at 7:15 AM

I will be testing. Brb and gud stuff synergy, you bring light in this dark tunnel.

Microsd exfat working?

Thank you so much!

GoodSoul · Dec 17, 2015 at 3:56 PM

Is the SDCard working? Do I need to format the SDcard (backup first, format, copy data back) with this ROM? What are the know issues?

mbaier · Dec 17, 2015 at 3:59 PM

nothing working.. can't flash (did full wipe)

I'm unsure of that, if this is related to the kernel supporting exFat, I can tell you that the kernel hasn't gone through many changes between cm12.1 and cm13.0, so if you have issues in 12.1, you may have issues now.

SD Card works for me, I use the default format (I believe I formatted it through Android a long long time ago). There is a list of bugs in the OP

mbaier said:

We need more information than this. Which version did you flash, GSM or CDMA. What GApps did you use? Was there a TWRP error code? Please be more detailed in the future to minimize the amount of back-and-forth on XDA and you get your answer sooner.

Do you have a link for the compatible GApps?
Thanks

mperez19 · Dec 17, 2015 at 6:59 PM

Is the Dec. 17 build only for CDMA devices or does it add compatibility for CDMA? In other words are the Dec. 16 and 17 builds the same but for different variants?

http://opengapps.org/ Is what I use. Make sure you choose ARM and 6.0. I've only used Mini, the one time I tried Full it gave me an Error code 70. But you can give it a shot too.

Yes, it is a build for CDMA devices. It's an entire ROM, not a patch.

Nana Ayeh's REVIEW of SYNERGY Marshmallow on JFLTESPR

Awesome Boot Animation
Great Battery life 4 hours+ SOT playing clash of clans on stock battery
ROM is very fast and stable
I personally find it fit for a daily driver
Wifi works just fine
Ability to switch LTE 3G and 2G is awesome!

Keep the good work mate! If you are looking for a tester for subsequent builds, you just found one.

I appreciate the review!
Is this on the jfltespr build or the jfltecdma build? I'm glad the variants work, but I'd like to get people's feedback on the unified builds

fatboysh · Apr 8, 2013 246 136 0

Jflteusc would not boot past splash screen with unified build. Had no problem with other build

Synergy510 · Dec 18, 2015

Turns out I messed up on some blob placement for jfltecdma, and lots of people have downloaded jfltecdma without any feedback and that worries me because you are probably using a different set of blobs not intended for your variant. I'll fix this soon.

In the meantime, could any CDMA users chime in and let me know if they have these files on their phone? This way I know the blob placement worked at the very least. I'll build again with the proper blobs after work
