It could be a hardware issue, a faulty device.Have you tried a full factory reset, return to stock and see if the issue still persists:

UNOFFICIAL FAQ FOR CM10.1/10.2
DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION
Q: Where’s the download?A: The initial FXP release had an incorrect kernel – you can download a working version of ROM from here. http://d-h.st/TPT
This ROM has since been updated a download can be located here. http://d-h.st/i3V
If you wish to try a CM10.2 (that’s Jelly Bean 4.3 – have Sony actually released a 4.3 ROM yet?) one can be downloaded from the link above.You can also download the correct version of GAPPS for Jelly Bean 4.3 here. http://brintaylor.info/Android/CM/gapps/
For the CM10.2 build you should use this link to report bugs. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/185s...9UINQ/viewform
Uberlaggydarwin plans to take a 'light touch' approach to support via XDA, so don't necessarily expect an answer to a query if you post in this thread
It seems like FXP have delayed releasing for our device for now, but information about CM builds that are being actively supported and developed can be found in this thread for now.
Q: How do I install?
A: You need an unlocked bootloader and an installed recovery. BACK UP your current ROM to your external SD card. Put the ROM and GAPPS on your external SD card. Boot into your recovery, do the necessary wipes, flash the ROM, flash GAPPS, reboot, victory. Disclaimer: if it breaks your phone, it’s your fault.
Q: Do I need to install the supplied kernel before installing the ROM?
A: No, unlike older xperia models CWM is able to flash both the kernel and the ROM at the same time. There is no need to use fastboot or flashtools to flash the kernel first, just a working recovery and an unlocked bootloader on your phone.
Q: Can I use another kernel instead?
A: No, for now only the supplied kernel will work.
Q: I’ve installed the ROM but can’t find the play store?
A: Immediately after installing the ROM you should install the 4.2.2 version of GAPPS (Google Apps) – this installs the play store and several other applications that Google regard as essential to the Android experience. This can be found here – http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip
Q: How do I update to the latest version of the ROM?
A: Once you’ve downloaded the latest version to your SD card, boot into recovery. No need to wipe your data, though you probably should wipe cache and dalvik cache (I don’t know whether this is done automatically as part of the installation but it can’t do any harm). You don’t need to install GAPPS again as this is a firmware update, not a new installation.
However if you’re moving between versions i.e. 10.1 to 10.2 you should definitely do a factory reset – the ROM may well work fine without a data wipe, but it may not and any problems might not be immediately noticeable (making bug tracking difficult). I would advise you NOT to report bugs if you’ve moved between android versions without a factory reset.
Q: When will they release a version that works on a locked bootloader?
A: Never. Some the features of the ROM simply won’t work very well/at all on a stock kernel. If you are rooted you can simulate some of the features with apps and mods though.
POST-INSTALLATION QUESTIONS
Q: I’ve installed the ROM – I can use Titanium Backup to reinstall all my apps right?
A: Yes and no. They may work fine, they might not – you are better off letting Google’s back up service restore all your apps. If you restore an app using Titanium or similar software and it’s buggy, there’s no point reporting it – re-install the app instead, perhaps even the ROM.
Q: 4G isn’t working – what do I do?
A: It’s not enabled by default on CM10.1 so you must do the following.
Go to the dialpad/phone.
Dial in the this number: *#*#4636#*#* (This will bring up "Phone info").
Tap WCDMA from under "Set preferred network type".
Select "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)".
The 4G LTE network should now be activated.
Q:Where’s USB mass storage?
A: After ICS Google stopped including it in their Android builds, as such mass storage mode is not a feature that was kept by CM for Jelly Bean. Individual manufacturers do what they want though, which is why Sony, Samsung and others still have it. Skilled modders may be able to add to ROMS based on this development, I reckon they might be able to patch this one to include it too
Q: This ROM is buggy as hell and drains my battery – how do I let the developers know?
A: Logcat and/or a kernel log - or it didn’t happen for bugs.
Better battery stats for battery drain.
There are lots of guides out there showing you how to take logs and how to record battery stats.
Anecdote – I activated Google+ yesterday as I like the auto-photo upload feature but wakelock detector revealed it was killing my battery (I think it’s dodgy on stock too). The choice was the app or the ROM, I chose the ROM.
Q: After installation something random doesn’t work – what do I do?
A: Check the thread to see if other users have mentioned the issue and to see if the developer has posted a solution. Also, you’re on XDA, you’re an advanced user, you have unlocked your bootloader, thrown out your warranty and accepted the consequences. So please try to resolve the issue yourself. In general if you are having a problem and no one else is, it will be a problem with your phone/download/installation.
Phone - obviously a hardware fault can't be foreseen by the developer and have you unlocked your bootloader!
Download - Most downloads are fine. But I've flashed enough ROMS to know that sometimes a file gets corrupted and sometimes they say they are complete when they are not. Sometimes I've been careless and clicked on the wrong download, sometimes the website hosting the site is haveing a a bad day, sometimes the developer puts the download in the wrong place too The first things to check are the name and size of the file - if these tally you're probably fine to install. If you want to be extra cautious you can check the MD5 hash to see if your download matches. Sometimes the file gets corrupted on upload - nothing anyone can do about that...
Installation - (Please back up your orignal ROM). Typically you'll be installing this ROM using a recovery from another ROM/kernel/MOD - so if you have problems installing , it might be that you have a bad recovery.
The wipes really need to be done to ensure the smooth running of your phone, but as you've backed up, the 15 seconds you spend properly wiping should not be much of a chore.
If you're one of the first downloaders, I guess there is some merit in saying you couldn't install, but if it's been out for a while and there are loads of posts saying 'what a great ROM' there's little point posting 'won't install'. Describe exactly what you've done and someone might help.
Bear in mind there are apps/hardware that the developers of this ROM won’t have heard of/care about - so if something doesn’t work properly on your phone it could be for numerous reasons. Either way, this may be something you have to live with. Alternatively, if the app is essential to you, you’ll have to return to a backup.
Remember this ROM is in development, there are no promises of perfection and no one is forcing you to use it. However, the right kind of feedback is always welcomed by the developers and may be acted on – the wrong kind will often be ignored.
Q: What does a perfect bug report look like?
A: Go here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46935640&postcount=313
Q: What are the known bugs?
A: FM radio doesn’t work.
A: Attempts to offline charge cause the phone to boot.
A: 4G activation is not remembered between boots for CM10.1.
A: For 10.2 there is a known battery drain issue related to WiFi. See the solution here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46923723&postcount=301
The following issues have been reported by some users, but others say it doesn’t affect them. They are regarded as hardware issues – anecdotal ‘me too’ posts will be ignored. However, supply a log and your phone’s date of manufacture and the developer may look into it (this might help you prove that your phone is faulty, so it’s a worthwhile exercise).
Erratic touch screen response.
Reading external SD Card in recovery and in use.
As others have said this is possibly the most stable first CM build they’ve encountered and I agree – it’s definitely suitable for daily use. I've been using it from release and haven't had a single reboot/app crash or freeze.

Thanks for sharing. I saw yesterday in the changelog that both 10.1 and 10.2 where announced on FXP 242 (10.1 in beta and 10.2 in alpha), but I can't find the 10.2 download anywhere.
Maybe they don't publish public download links for alpha versions ?

Flashed and booted. Its nice. But some screen flickering while scrolling. Like in settings etc etc. But that can resolve with enable the " Disable Hardware Overlay" option from Developer Settings

What about performance ? Can you run antutu bench ? how much is free / used RAM ? etc.
thanks

Are mirrors allowed? Can somebody mirror this file? Im sorry but uploaded has failed me several times already...

Screen Flicker
Hi @Rajeev
I didn't experience screen flickering at ALL in ANY test builds so I find this really difficult to believe but I'm happy to take a detailed look at it ..
Log's plus video(so I can see what you mean) would be useful so I can get this possible ?issue? and if it is an issue then I'll get it resolved.
None whatsoever for me so this is a really weird issue....
Thanks

I have the flickering too ! And the phone often soft freezes. Seems like the app isnt updated anymore on screen. It can also be just the keyboard for example. Hiting recent tasks unfreezes it but systemui sometimes freezes until reboot.

2) When i press the Reboot option its rebooting but its rebooting like something weird in Screen..
3) Soft reboots happens multiple Times...

Hey, Make a backup, you need an unlocked bootloader for this. Then wipe all cache and data etc. then flash the rom on your phone

LOG"S OR IT DIDN"T HAPPEN . I'm serious.
I'm downloading this release to test but I can't help much if you don't provide logs.
Are you sure its not auto-brightness being turned on as auto-brightness doesn't work very well in stock so the changes are probably more noticeable.
Reboots work perfectly fine for me..
On the recent test builds I haven't had a reboot issue but as you know the kernel is temporary so I'll redo it when 4.3 comes out....
WE NEED LOGS.

I8190XXANA2 is better than older ones ;) ... just takes longer to set up :P

OK, so yesterday I flashed the new ANA2 firmware and immediately saw that it uses much less RAM resources than the previous versions. Although the only downside is that it returns everything to stock (there isn't a pre-rooted one yet). And by "everything" I mean EVERYTHING : no more root ; stock recovery and a bunch of annoying apps and bloatware. So you gotta install CWM (or TWRP) again, through ODIN, then you gotta root your phone, again, with Chainfire's SuperSU app through the custom recovery. And finally you gotta install an app like Freezer to disable the bloatware (NOTE-Google Maps and Google Magazines need to be deleted from .../system/app, because for some reason they won't stay freezed after a reboot). The other thing is (at least with me) that the official samsung boot and shutdown logo are replaced by ones from Movistar (it's an operator?) and the boot up sound is missing, but if you dig a bit here in xda, you'll find a post for the Galaxy S2 which has all the S3 Mini original animations needed to restore your phone's boot and shutdown logo If you really want the boot sound back, again search a bit here and you'll find a post which has a collection of S3 system sounds (which are the same as our S3 Mini's) and you just have to copy the file "PowerON.ogg" to ...system/media/audio/ui replacing the existing one. I think it's just better to replace the whole "audio" folder, 'cause there might be some other sounds missing.
And yeah, that's about it about the new firmware. Please note that I've downloaded this http://live.samsung-updates.com/details/24398/Galaxy_S_3_Mini/GT-I8190/XEC/I8190XXANA2.html version of the ANA2 firmware, so changes may vary between other versions of it.
If you can't find the posts for the original sounds and boot stuff, ask in this thread and I'll upload them to mediafire and post links here
! ! ! ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT ROM AND HAVE IT ON YOUR EXTERNAL SD CARD JUST IN CASE ! ! !

well, actually no. They've added a few more apps but you can get rid of them either with Freezer or by deleting them from system/app
Either way, you MUST be rooted

Ah oke , do you might know witch apps i get new? becaus i have been notified on my Phone that an update is available . Im currious

Fresh version of baseband, and this would be for I8190, not I8190N model, right ?
Dont ask how i know, but flashing wrong version is a really really bad idea........

well, I remember getting Google Magazines, for sure, but i forgot if there are any others. Tomorrow I'll flash ANA2 again as I wanna have the ANA2 kernel (currently on bln one) for better performance. Will let you know before I start freezing and deleting them

ok, so I reinstalled ANA2 and there are a few new apps like : Gun Bros , Google Magazines , Emotico , Mucika and Movistar

Thanks , but so the unwanted apps grow more ... i believe its almost time for me to excualy search somebody in real life that can root .
Can the new firmware help my battery to last longer? becaus my Phone's battery only last for 7 hours ...

I think it helps, but can't tell exactly as I've got apps that save up battery. Here's my setup :
DU Battery Saver PRO (paid ; needs root) - only turned on the Low CPU Frequency When Screen Locked option
Boosters Plus Battery Saver PRO (paid ; needs root) - Turned on all boosters (Double booster on ones which have that option)
Tasker (paid) - i use it so that my phone goes into Airplane Mode from 00:00 to 07:00 and to turn on 3G only when I launch specified apps
Battery Saving Build.prop Tweaks (...system/build.prop) - add the following lines at the very end of the build.prop file, then save it and reboot -->
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
pm.sleep_mode=1
With the above settings and the new firmware I got 5% drain from 23:00 to 07:00, which is amazing for me. The trick is to be able to use your phone without it lagging or lacking features, but when the screen turns off, all the above mentioned things take effect and greatly preserve battery life.
P.S. I can tell you how to root your phone it it's the international GT-I8190 version. I've even got all the stuff needed on my PC if you can't find something.

Oke thanks ,
I have never used custom rom . So i first gonne see if the new firmware thingy can help and otherwise i install custom rom

I was like that 'bout a year ago, but yesterday I remembered that there is nothing better than the latest stock firmware for a device. With all custom roms that i've tried FF6 and a bunch of other games and the whole UI lagged very much. As of yesterday, it runs smooth again (just like when I bought my phone).

Ah oke good to know

Yeah i know, but the only thing that prevents me from switching is that there is no TouchWiz in CM (and i love touchwiz launcher) xD
Anyway, i was talking about how the newest STOCK firmware is better than the other STOCK ones.

does anybody know a way to enable 4way reboot for this latest firmware?

galaxy s4 charging problems after flashing new rom

Hello , I wanted to install OzcanRom v6.3 Aroma So i did.. first i change the recovery to TWRP , all fine , flashed with odin , then tried to install the rom and worked but the phone was not starting , was staking at boot so i read on the forum that the recovery is the problem , so i change it again and used CWM and worked fine , phone opened , the rom is fine all working , but i noticed that the phone is not charging fast or not charging at all same times..
My first thought was that the cable or the micro USB port is damaged .. nop.. i changed cable and charger , also changed battery with one 100% new and nothing.. the problem remain.. So i was sure that the problem is software related and make again install on the rom , I follow the process with cleaning Dalvik cache etc and many times , Also removed the battery for 10 mins and also i tried to calibrate the battery , nothing worked.. I have install on my phone one app to check the battery stats and i saw that same times , even if charger is connected the phone does not receive the proper power or receive like 50 Ma per 1 hour... sometimes if i disconnect and reconnect the cable make the problem fixed , from 50 Ma goes over 500 so the phone charges..
Also i noticed that the CPU of the phone (under the camera ) gets too hot even if i dont use the phone at all , it happens only when charging and receiving low amount of Ma.. the max Ma i have seen is like 500 Ma per hour.. still very very low and phone takes forever to charge..
Can you help me fix this problem? My guess is that the problem is the kernel.. but not sure what kernel to use with this Rom and how to install it..

Any TouchWiz kitkat custom kernel should work.
The only other option may be to change to another ROM.

AOSP is what you find on Nexus devices.
All you need to know about it now is that you can't use that kernel on your Ozcan ROM.
Look for kernels that are labeled TW or TouchWiz.

...or you could get it to work by grabbing any TW-LL kernel and replacing the ramdisk with the KK one. But, there's no guarantee that it would work, plus you need some knowledge on doing this.

these days even a five years child can root install a custom cwm , a custom kernel a viper4 sound mod and debloat a original stock rom

Lol.
I haven't experience anything like that, in any Roms i have flashed.

a custom rom is exactly what it says it is, a customised version of the original android operating system that somebody has, in their own precious time, played around with to try & give us something a little different for this ageing device. Chances are that if you went out tomorrow & bought an S7 edge & fired it up you would have to update some gapps, whichever you may use. I think you need to take a deep breath & have a little more appreciation & understanding for the things that go on here. If a 5 yr old is able to do what you claim then maybe you should turn your hand to contributing to the community................... but thats just my opinion......no offence intended

Is this guy for real? Apps simply don't revert to previous version after you update them. There's a simple setting in the playstore that allows auto update of your installed apps to the latest version when they become available. And is this how you lose from custom Roms? Lololololol I thought your device blew up or melted.

Buy an IPhone and explain us how cool is it. You'll enjoy it, for sure

Pls close delete this thread its useless.

Lol.
I haven't experience anything like that, in any Roms i have flashed.
Throw your s4 and buy some updated android device.

The problem isn't the phone, it's the user.
Just close this.

Believe it or not, but I have seen similar behavior with some of my apps.
I update it dl today and tomorrow I have to update again, but there doesn't seem to be any changes in the changelog.
But this happens rarely.
So I believe the OP exaggerates. This also started happening only recently, so it's either something related to the new Android updates - which means older ROMs (5.1 and below) should be safe - or something related to gapps.

To everyone who asked for this thread to be closed and/or brought up the fact it's in the wrong place, why did you not click on the little triangle at the bottom left of the post and report it? Mods can't do anything about it if they don't know there is an issue.
As to the OP, I actually tried keeping an Android 2.3.3 ROM's Google apps up to date - one of the features of the ROM I offered. To do that I didn't include anything but the Play Store. Today, such a task would be difficult. If you like, you can download a GApps package from OpenGApps on a daily basis and flash it yourself.

@OP, please be carefully when you start a thread. Development is for development not for discussions and questions.
