Features
Luuk up CyanogenMod 13.0 in the net. This ROM is just a build of current CM13 sources, with support added for jactivelte. In future, optimizations might be added.

Bugs
A lot, probably. But what i know:

• no SIM detected
• exfat sdcard support seems to be broken
• camera is probably as broken as it is with CM12.1
• other stuff? You tell me

New build, cm-13.0-20151225_182928-UNOFFICIAL-jactivelte, uploading. Just repo sync and this one should work with multirom

 

[sartana]

Really good work. Whit multirom i can test, even if the best will be whit functional sim of course. ?

Send from somewhere... or not?

Just for understanding: why is sim and exfat broken? Couldnt we use the s4 source-tree as the hardware is identical in most parts? Or is it broken, too? Sorry, maybe a am thinking too simple as a am no developer

Source tree and vendor props are same as in regular S4, which makes me think that maybe jactive's bootloader or modem is somehow different... i'm flashing newest Samsung rom to see if updating modems and whatever else helps with that. If not, then use ril stuff from CM12.1.

As for exfat, maybe it's not implemented yet? I think this was the case with CM12 also, exfat took some time to get implemented as it needs extra libs and packages.

Did someone already tried to flash a modem for s4? How high are the chances, that it will brick a s4 active? Maybe that is the key to a working sim?

I tried flashing S4 modems at some point, like a year ago and as i recall, it's not even possible to flash them. Some kind of checksum fails and flashing fails before actually flashing the file. This was with Heimdall so i don't know what Odin does. If the checksum check is done on receiving end, then it doesn't matter what flasher is used.

Edit: oh and i flashed latest available Samsung rom, I9295XXUDOI5_I9295TIMDOI1_TIM.zip. No change with CM13 RIL, no SIM detected. But ran into problems with TWRP, it started failing due to selinux declining recovery access to lots of things, had to compile new TWRP with selinux in permissive mode...
I also reverted some vendor blobs to CM12.1 state, but no help. I took a logcat and noticed that selinux was denying access to binaries related to RIL... needs more investigation.

 

[spegelius]

Well it seems flashing OI5 was a mistake, since now CM13 won't boot without using adb shell to set selinux to permissive mode... i'll need to see if i can downgrade somehow.

 

[spegelius]

Downgraded to OB4, at least i think i did. I flashed aboot.mbn, modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin, rpm.mbn, sbl1.mbn, sbl2.mbn, sbl3.mbn and tz.mbn (sbl1.mbn is from NK4 rom as OB4 doesn't have that file). No change, my phone simply refuses to boot all of the CM13 builds because selinux denies stuff. On the other hand, CM12.1 and SlimLP beta 10 work fine, so something weird is going on with CM13...

I did manage to hack round it by adding more options for installd to sepolicy, but i feel that this is something shouldn't need to do. I'm going to revert /data back to ext4, hopefully it's just unfinished support for f2fs in CM13. If so, i'll stick with ext4, f2fs has brought only more trouble so far than any improvements.

I also managed to debug RIL problem, first it was missing vendor props and after that some permission problem, might be related to above problem with my phone...

Thanks for keeping us up-to-date, spegelius!

the major issue is no sim detected of course thats a big deal for everyone. wifi works fine browsing youtube ok. NFC never used in my s4 active so dont know. if sim card detected i will definetly used as my daily driver battery life seems good when compare with the cm12.1 officials. BIG THANKS TO THE spegelius still looking for the s4 active. thanksssssssss

 

[sartana]

My external sd it's not detected, or better, cannot mount.
I think that this cause some problem whit apps like music or file manager that are stucked and don't run. Others app work fine.

Send from somewhere... or not?

 

[spegelius]

Alright, ril problem figured out: selinux denies access to qmux radio socket. Fixed it by setting selinux to permissive on boot for now (same as S4 CM13 i think), so take this into consideration, bad apps can do bad things possibly.

Uploading now:
cm-13.0-20160101_224952-UNOFFICIAL-jactivelte

• set selinux to permissive mode
• RIL should be working now
• few minor tweaks added
• repo synced 1.1.2016

Exfat still doesn't work, reason is that vold doesn't support exfat yet; but as CM development goes, features come at some point.

Wow latest buid looks to me OK LTE, cellular calls even my SD card detects. camera works flawless Setting menu crashed 1 time other than anything bugs didn't noticed so far in 3 hours. Thanks for great job spegelius
