CM11 - i9505 Boot Delay/Hangs - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi at all! Since I had my first smartphone I always used CyanogenMod to unlock all the power of my devices and have an pure stock android experience. I use CM11 on a s3 and a few times ago on a s4. I used always nightly build because I'm curios and I like to discover bug and discuss with other to solve them (I'm not a developer, only an appasionated smartphone user).
With my s4 (i9505) I used officials nightly from jflte section of cm download site and I updated it with Cyandelta app. I used Ktoonsez kernel.
It's impossible for my s4 to boot into Cm11 after a reboot or when I PowerOn my device after a battery change (because previous battery was 1% and device shuted down), because it hang on Model Number Splash screen. I have to remove battery, Hold for 5-10 seconds power button, insert battery and powerOn. Anyone has any idea for this problem? I've tried a lot of times to change from CM to TW and From TW to CM but problem persist anyway with Kt kernel and with stock cm kernel, but with TW rom problem doesn't appear.
A little note, I'm not using original Samsung Battery. Thanks at all and sorry for my crappy english. I'm a young student.

Try removing the batterystats.bin file... Maybe its getting confused on that.
See here for details on how to remove it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1699687

I've found problem. Kernel wasn't compatible with last version of CM11.
How to close post?

[Noob Time] Why FLash To CM 10.1 ?

Good Evening Dudes
I'm just introduced on this section and it's first time than i ve had a stuff like this awesome samsung
Smooth Fast Strong And God ! it's the beautifull customisable stock rom (it's really beautifull to compare with htc stock rom)
well the question is not here and the target also
i've never had the oppotunitities to try a CM 10.1 on any device Htc desire x hasnt official CM and not possible to port CM10.1 cauz Htc doesnt provide the kernel source.... damn
(it's was juste for put in situation)
What's the real interest -Gain can i expect with the CM10.1 on the Galaxy S4 ?
Whith this rom it's sound interesting to put a custom kernel also.
what can we do with cm 10.1 than we cannot with a stock rom ?
Yeah a know , i can make a backup on my stock rom , flash the cm 10.1 try and if doesnt like it restore to the backuped stock.
Thanks for your time
If you had any other suggestion better than the CM 10.1 (i know it s on nightlies sound like equal as alpha but
topic is open :s
Well the Stock ROM is pretty much as bloated as a whale. CM is only 200MB in size, so first of all it will save space on your internal memory. Second of all, you won't have a lot of processes running in the background like you do now, your phone will be a LOT more responsive. Ofcourse, as with any custom ROM, there will be some bugs and those ROMs will need testing and updates (that's why nightlies exist). But eventually there will be stable versions and imo, it'll beat the stock any day. On the other hand, the stock ROM has some functions like the IR blaster, the smart-pause, smart-scroll and hover function, etc. If you're a big fan of those things, stick with your Stock ROM. But if you would like to a clean, simple, bloat free and faster experience than you have now, a custom ROM is a great way to achieve it. But that's not the only thing ofcourse, CM also has some extra functions and customization options you won't find in your stock ROM, you can tweak your system quite a lot and there are some things I couldn't live without (for example swapping your menu key for your recent apps switcher, and putting the menu function on the long press ).
Thanks a lot
Sound really interesting
CM 10.1 it's more in touch with i'm looking for
The actual build of CM 10.1 can be used on a basic day usage ? or it's better to wait a few days ?
If i flash the cm now ? need also to flash another kernel or just flash the zip by philw touch recovery ?
can i come back to my stock backuped rom after if i want ? with the restore function of philz touch recovery ?
I'm using Philz Recovery too and yes you can flash CM10.1 from there (I have the latest build from June 12th on it). Before you flash, make your sure you wipe/factory reset your phone in Philz Recovery. You might also need to flash the CM10.1 rom 2 or 3 times (the second time it usually works), on the first try it always gives a Status 7 error (don't worry). Look at the thread for the Offical CM10.1 Nightlies, there's a lot information there!
It's working pretty good for me, I haven't found any major bugs so far. Just make sure you make a Nandroid backup in Philz Recovery first (and store it your external SD card for safety and to save space ofcourse ). You can always return to that backup through the restore function in Philz Recovery yes.
Also, if you update your CM10.1 with a new nightly build (for example next week, or next month), do it manually and flash it in the recovery each time. Updating it from the Settings->About->Cyanogenmod Updates menu bricked my phone today, so I guess there is still a bug there. Besides that, there are no issues what so ever according to me.

last question before the first try
With the original Cm we need to flash gapps separately or it's inside the rom ?
If external suppose to take the last release on goo
If I remember correctly you need to flash it separately

Try downloading leanKernel 3.1 AOSP version.
Usually because lean and temasek updates very often due to commit changes, their newer kernels usually break older versions of CM by showing a black screen after you see SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 3.
The old(er) kernels will work for sure, don't use the latest update. If a previous update doesn't work, move back a step.

Unable to get leankernel to run

So I've recently rooted and installed a custom rom on my phone for the first time with success. My phone is the T-Mobile Galaxy S3 N900T. I'm running C-Rom-KK-v7.1-20140622 which is based on 4.4.4 and it's great. I've been trying to find a custom kernel that I can load onto it to help increase the battery life, hence why I heard LK was really good for that, unfortunately every time I flash the kernel it just reboots to a black screen. The LED buttons will sometimes light up, but nothing else happens, and I'm forced to wipe and reinstall c-rom. I'm really looking forward to getting a custom kernel to work and any help would be appreciated.

Been a while since I scanned the N3 forum however, check that the ROM is compatible with the Kernel and If the Kernel does indeed run on the 900T - when I had my N3 T-Mo users used to have to flash a fix to boot N9005 kernels.

[Q] Galaxy S4 i9505 Bluetooth Won't turn on.

Dear XDA Users,
I've been on a custom rom on the Galaxy S4 since release, and i noticed that my Bluetooth didn't exactly work. But i did not take any time
to care about it and didn't try to solve the issue until now. I have completely wiped and reset the whole phone and installed a new custom rom.
Too bad, this doesn't fix the issue. The Bluetooth button turns light-green for just a couple of seconds, it then returns to grey. I really can't find the solution for this.
So please, if you have any fix/solution for this. let me know.
Currently running rom: Imperium v16.1
Best regards,

lg g2 keeps restarting

Hi.i have lg g2 d800 32gig.it was with stock 4.4.2 and from time. To time it freeze and restart itself. I install. Cm 12.1 lolipop snapshot.and it keep doing it,every houer or so.i even unolugged the motherbord and installed again.what is the prob??
Probably one or more than one apps causing this.
Try another rom. I never use CM base, let alone a snapshot/nightly. Install Resurrection Remix M, it's based on CM stable and is faster and has more features.
But the device also restart. With the stock rom 4.4.2. Is there maybe prob in the motherbord?

could it be or maybe a stuck or sticky power button?
Hi,idont think its asticky power,because it happends 6-8times aday.not all the time.i dont know how to fix this prob...
boot stack
I had the same problem. Install boot stack first then flash CM then gapps.
More likely its a hardware issues. Or May be something has to relate with Bootstacks.
I have lost My G2, In no point return mode! So move on with other device. Honesty G2 isn't made for all people. That's all I can say.
