Performance Improvements Guide - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Just started playing with The S4 Active and started fixing some "lag" issues and getting Google Voice as default voice search, jotting down what I did so I can reference it later and maybe help someone else in the process:
-Samsung's Gallery is horribly slow everywhere, this seems to help a lot:
QuickPic - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&hl=en
-Replace double home tap with google voice search (Found guide from here http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-co...e-with-google-now-on-galaxy-s-iii-tutorial/):

-Enabled Developer Settings (search for this to find out how) and change animation scales and duration to 0.5x

[REF][PROJ] udK Syrius R0 WWE Confirmed Known Bugs List [ONLINE]

OK then, the original ROM release thread is getting a bit repetitive so if everyone replies here with their known bugs/problems to the "R0" release we'll be able to have a list of all the known bugs and have a clearer view of what is an actual bug and what's something more user/device related.
On the whole this ROM is amazing, this list is not to "knock" udK, but to centralise any problems, I'm am so so happy with this ROM, amazing work, udK - I want your babies
I'll update the first page each time when we have a confirmed problem that all (or most) people are experiencing.
(This is not a list of problems that some people are having - it's a list of problems that everyone is having!)
BUGS
01: QuickGPS (doesn't complete download/update)
02: PDM (doesn't start download/update)
03: Camera Album (functions not working correctly - i.e, stuck on zoom, no finger 'swiping' functions) press action (centre) button for some options
04: GPS Photo (non available by default) Fix 04
05: Camera Focus (non functional - missing)

17: Front Camera (not available)
18: Sim Manager (freezes/loops whilst saving entry then displays an "Undetermined error") - may not affect everyone?
19: RSS Hub (produces weird graphics)
20: Headphones Icon (still stays on after unplugging headphones) - may not affect everyone? reboot may be required

I haven't checked all the bugs, I only collected them...
Solutions:
- when viewing a photo I cant exit ---> just push the central button for the menu
- Windows live needs to be re-installed to work (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334621)
- no gps photo (registry edit HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P10","Enable",1)
Regardless of the bugs, I do enjoy this ROM a lot allready. udK, keep up the good work!
if flash to another ROM (official rom), the udk syrius logo is still present in the beginning
Is this just me or do others get these problems too?
1. I can't setup an email account (hotmail) within the "Mail" section of the TouchFLO.
2. When writing or replying to text messages I'm experiencing some strange keyboard behaviour, the T9 is adding the word twice, if I hit delete, it adds it again.
3. Customised cities for the weather do not update.
4. Camera Album and related fuctions not working correctly (stuck on zoom) - We probably all agree on this one but better ask.
I'm not sure what qualifies as a bug but if this isnt one then I will erase my post.
Bug: Video playback in Album doesnt work!

Sorry for english
1. Autofocus does not work.

3. Can not play movie in Photos and Videos tab.
4. Gestures in photos preview does not work at all.
5. Quick GPS stucks at 82% (probably because of new radio. Looks like HTC changes technology of satelite data update. Some where here was that it is only because of bad signature of update.)
6. Wifi problem (cannot turn on/off while using active sync)
7. Can not switch to 3G/2G band in usual way.
Looking forward to hear about r1

Voice Dial is missing.

how many threads do we need for 1 ROM to report bugs! C'mon people use the original R0 thread to report your issues. It gets real crazy for a cook to have to go to multiple threads to see issues.
Hopefully a Mod will remove this thread....
I think its a good idea for this thread to be created, IF the first post is updated regularly so the GREAT Cooker UDK, can just watch 1 post despite 44 pages.
Also people please confirm the issues mentioned so that they can be confirmed as bugs. ForumUser please add only confirmed, by +3 people, issues to first post
you do have a valid point, but let me ask you this. I am sure you see so many new posts being created that it pushes other posts to other pages. In that scenario it might make it hard to keep track or rather easy to lose threads... if its all in one place this isnt as likely to happen..
just food for thought....

Theres about 40 pages in the R0 thread all repeating the same bugs , threads like these are a good idea if used properly and the first post updated
Not yet mentioned in this thread, the END key will only lock device, even if quick list or one of the other options is selected.
also not mentioned that Audio Manager keeps searching and searching and searching,
which might be btw. the issue that it lags sometimes for 2-3 seconds
Thank you all for your input so far. We got quite a list. I have some spare time, so I put them together in the second post. I hope .ForumUser doesn't mind, perhaps he can help with the first post to keep it updated and to have enough space for the possibility of even a longer 'wishlist'
so far things that i've noticed that have been mentioned are:
1 - of course, quickgps
2 - camera problems (auto focus, etc)
3 - Windows live needs to be re-installed to work (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334621)
4 - Touchpal can't be installed
5 - opera opens with two tabs from the touchflo menu
6 - videos don't play in the touchflo menu
7 - camera album doesn't have the normal finger swiping functions working properly
8 - wifi won't turn on/off when connected through activesync
9 - iGO8 isn't working (have to disable manila to get it to work)
10 - audio manager has no way to increase or decrease volume
11 - there is no program icon or easy access for normal functions such as rotate screen or adjust backlight.
12 - video calls do not work
13- PDM not working
14 - no gps photo (registry edit HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P10","Enable",1)
These are just some minor bugs that i've experienced or seen people write about. Personally i'm loving this ROM and most of these bugs aren't really bothering me. I think UDK is the man!!!
Once again, if you guys already see some bugs posted on this thread, DON'T REPOST IT! if not we'll have the same problem of 20+ people reporting THE SAME BUGS!

[APP] Custom Scroll 1.1 - HTCScroll customizer *UPDATED* [03.04.2009]

Hi All,
I would like to present You a small and simple application called Custom Scroll. It gives You a chance to take the opportunity customizing scrolling behavior of HTCScroll Windows addon (which is used in File Explorer, MS Contacts, Programs, Settings... - everywhere where scrolls are used - and we are using fingers (flick gestures) to scroll...
I've noticed that when I'm trying new ROM many times "scrolling feature" need to be modified by myself, so why don't we just make it quick and simple, with predefined checked and accepted values - even maybe "solutions" ?
that's why I've made that application...
I would like to ask You a favor... when You'll be testing Your own values and You'll notice that some of combinations are quite good, please post them 'here' - in this topic ... after testing I'll build them into program.
Please take a look at the video, where I'm showing how does Custom Scroll works and how to operate with it...
CLICK HERE FOR YOUTUBE VIDEO
Big THANKS to All from XDA Community, [germany]merlot, dr G from ppcgeeks.com
Some sample settings are built-in program (as seen on Video )
another "preset" (in version 1.1 it's: "Prefered #1"):
Speedlow=100
Speedhigh=25
Pagelow=15
Pagehigh=50
VERSION UPDATED to Custom Scroll 1.1 (see #2 post for download) ​
Read this:​dr G from PPCGEEKS.com discovered that:
Pagelow = Low speed scroll page size
Pagehigh = High speed scroll page size
Speedlow = Low speed scroll speed (ms delay)
Speedhigh = High speed scroll speed (ms delay)
Pantype = Enable/disable grab scrolling default 1, 0=disable
The page size is the number of - units - the given interface scrolls when the low or high speed scroll is activated by gesturing - finger flick. For example a pagelow of 20 would scroll 20 contacts each time you flick scroll in the contact list. This is why with the default 50 and 80 settings, flick scrolling causes excessive scrolling in contacts with the device initially.
The low speed scroll is activated by the initial flick gesture. The high speed scroll is activated by an ADDITIONAL flick gesture DURING the scroll initiated by the low speed scroll gesture. So it's kind of like "revving up" the scroll.
The speedlow and speedhigh delays are the delays between the "units" scrolled during either scroll. As such, the speedlow number is higher than the speedhigh number. Thing is, if you set the speedlow number too small, the low speed scroll will finish so quickly, you will not be able to initiate the high speed scroll with an additional gesture.
.
Custom Scroll
version 1.0
-first release...
version 1.1
-added Save & Reset Menu option
-added Sample Value/Scroll Distance/ Prefered #1 (as a nice modification number #1)
Great app.When it will be released so we can try it?
Edit:i just saw the link.Thank you for your app.If i find a good value,i'll post it here.
Really nice ... great tool. thanks for this
just saw the video and it looks amazing
scrolling through windows can get damn frustrating very easily
will try it right away!
good work mate...this is amazing
Thanks for sharing this looks really good !!!
Thanks a lot for that cichy, I will have a good play with the settings. Can you add any good settings recommendations to your first post please, just so they are easy to find as the thread grows. I guess it should work on many devices too.

please if You'll find something interesting (sets / registry tweeks) give a reply in this topic...​
Custom Scroll Updated to 1.1 (see #2 for download)
This work only with Diamond?? What key I must set for change scroll set in the HD?
it should be working with every sort of hardware that has tflo installed -> htc scroll addon ... just try it...
and then post some rply in this topic
Awesome App
Now all we need is kinetic scrolling. I dont know about other people but I cant stand the old-fashioned scrolling in WM. It's impossible to see stuff go by. Kinetic scrolling just feels more natural, period (i guess thats why it is so popular). Any ideas?
Good looks so far though- keep up the good work!
So does this only work with htc touchflo or will it work with the new scrolling built-in to wm6.5? I don't know of any 6.5 roms that are using touchflo.
Hi,
Liked the app - great way to customze the scrolling. One question/request though. Before my Diamond, I had an MDA Compact running Pointui and really liked the scrolling feature on it. It was a more fluid scroll feature (in my opinion ) as opposed to the flicking action needed with the "iphone" esq scroll. Have linked a utube example for your ref
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na7k2JfbgG8
Can your application customize the scrolling like this or is it possible to adapt it accordingly?
Thanks

It works with every build in HTC Scroll Addon (see if you have installed htcscroll.dll somehere in memory)
... I did not use 6.5 WM, but I think that microsoft has it's own sollution for finger scrolling, flick gestures and other stuff... if You have TFLO 3D and you can "Flick" in File Explorer You CAN adjust settings (but only some of them) with this program ...

Hi, I haven't htcscroll.dll in my pda, so I downloaded it and copied in windows folder. Need I do others for use your program? Set some key of reg? Other?
You need all TFLO addons... I have no idea is it possible to add HTC finger scrolling without TouchFlo..., maybe sort of porting ... or sth else... sorry no idea... :/
I've TFLO, I have htc touch hd, but manila v2 not manila v3.
love this app. for some reason (or maybe on all touch pros) anything i would scroll it would go directly to the bottom and i couldnt get to stop...this solved my problem! thanks alot

Advice needed - Editing Settings.apk to create a shortcut

Hi.
I`m in the process of making a ROM especially for disabled / sight impaired people and am making good progress.
But two things I need to change are:
1) The location of the Talkback toggle (Instead of having it in Settings > Accessibility > Services) I want to put the slider toggle on the main settings screen above the Wifi toggle. I have found hacky ways of getting to the accessibility screen (using a settings shortcut and using home2shortcut to apply the shortcut) however, cyanogen have changed something in their code and making the same shortcut now does nothing, or rather it takes you to the accessibility screen, but you cannot go into talkback, you try and it just kicks you back to the accessibility screen
2) Remove the confirmation screen when you enable talkback.
I am familiar with the new gestures to suspend talkback temporarily, but I want to go one further than this and be able to switch it on or off at will, without confirmation.
I have looked into even making a SQlite script but this can only be used from CWM recovery apparently...
I just need to know what entries I need to tchange in the XML. I`m at ease with decompiling apks which I have done.
I would love to have this talkback toggle on the main setting screen, and it would be fantastic if I could remove the confirmation dialog from talkback itself.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks
wrong section. this goes in q&a. if it actually was something that you already developed, then it would go here.
Thank-you. Could A moderator please move this thread to Q and A please?
I thought as it is related to developing it may go here. Oh well...
Yes it is related to development as is the entire site, but the format is set, please read the Forum Rules on posting, Thank You Sir.
Anybody?
you should rather learn how to track code-links. theres acouple of very helpful tools like grep and godir. basically you start by searching for the same display text you see on your phone. you find that you have the variable name. you search for that one and it links into the layouts. you search for the layout id's and it links into the actualy code. you will run into these problems again and again, so better try to track it down on your own once and next time it happens you'll be fine.

CM13 official nightly (G900F) Lots of problems / questions

Hi, I'm using latest CM13 nighly (19/3/2016) on my Samsung S5. I have few questions:
1) How to choose 3G/4G, not only LTE or 3G. I have sometimes weak 4G signal at my place and it would be nice when the 4G is weak, phone would automatically change to 3G.
2) Is there way to get custom toggle buttom on statusbar quick access icons? For example "torch" or "3G/4G" etc.
3) How about google now voice commands? I cant turn "always listening" (or waking from any screen) or "trusted voice" on. I'm using finnish language for voice commands and voice search. Is this issue only with finnish language or with all languages at the moment? If it is the problem with my native tongue, is there any way to go around and get "ok google" command to work from any screen with finnish language? I saw one thread here, where was something about editing bin-file, but my bin file looked way different, maybe google has changed it through time?
4) There is APK called "Open mic+" for google now voice search. Does this fix the problem number 3? (I still would rather use no extra stuff on it, so if there is
a mod or line of hex to edit with help..)
5) Clock color problem - when i use alarm clock and setup the time, the backround color isn't as in theme. It was before, but stopped working with right color after update.
6) camera focus issues, not focusing well.
7) avoid Doze when down/uploading smtg
8) . How to get sd-card to work normally to it is not read only? I've read there is some fixes and I've tried SDCardFix and xposed "HandleExternalSD" and "KitKat SDCard Fix" with no result.
9) How can I see only contacts with phone numbers, I don't want to see any email-addressess in my contact list.
10) Is these available for CM13: Samsung download booster, samsung UltraPowerSavingMode? If not the original ones, at least something similar and as effective.

[NST/G] AlReader and TTS

It's got the ability, right? So why doesn't it work?
The short answer is that it seems a bit persnickety. After following a few dead ends I found an assignment for Text-to-Speech that seems to work reliably. Under "Options" (i.e, Settings),find "Addons, Controls, Tap on Header" (this is the penultimate selection in the section). Down on "page" 7 of the various options you will find "Text-to-Speech". This works for me. Even though I have the app set for Full Screen, I also have a tap set to show the header and system status bar (as opposed to the AlReader status bar). So a quick tap to see the header (which I normally have hidden) and then a tap on the header and the TTS controls appear.
You have pause/play, slower/faster, and volume. Of course, you need to have USB Audio working as well as the Pico TTS app or similar and a voice engine (and voices) such as svox.
But it works!
How about the Glow 4?
This seems more useful with Bluetooth audio.
The Pico TTS is pretty old, isn't it?

Yes, my bad for not indicating I was referring to the NST.
I suspect this would work famously with something like the Glowlight 4. The trick would be getting the proper TTS engines and some good voices installed and set up.
Pico is as ancient as the NST itself and there is not much that can be done with the voices or their timbre. I'm working on coaxing Svox Classic to function. It has a greater range of voices and there is an ancient app called tts-service-extended which is supposed to allow switching the default engine. Behaving badly so far. Still, there is a possibility
