If so , why not take it back to samsung and ask them?

Hello , i posted a question up and no one answer me , i will say it again :

Can xposed framework affect my batterie life or slow down my system ? Specially gravitybox . thanks !
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

I'm not completely sure about i9506, but I can guarantee that i9500 and i9505 share exactly the same battery, so it's very likely that i9506 also has that same battery model! In my case I tested exchanging batteries with a friend (when I had a problem I thought it was my battery, but ended up not being), I have an i9505 while he has i9500, my battery was completely functional on his device, can't say the same because my device was hard-bricked that time :P. You should try doing the same, to test.

Hi,

Yes. Too many Xposed modules can load up the system and slow it down, not only that, but AFAIK some may keep your device awake, so they can affect your battery life. That's why, not only me, but most people recommends: only install the modules you REALLY need/want, because if you install too much you're going to run into problems. Among them, slow downs, battery life and module incompatibility that may end up breaking it (let's say module A is incompatible with B, in the end if you install both, none will work).

I'm no pro at Xposed though. This is just some stuff I've read about (and experienced myself). Maybe if I typed something stupid it'd be nice if someone corrected me ;).

Just rooted, and it seems all i have is to try custom ROM. Any suggestions on which custom ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davy4475:
Only you can decide than. One that is suited to your needs. Try a few out then decide
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
My suggestion would be to read the first post description of the ROMS available.

See what each contains , and which would appeal to you.

Make a nandroid backup in your custom recovery , so that you can always restore a previous ROM , if you do not like what you installed.

2 sections to check out:

Sorry for not giving solution for your e-mail problem, but there is no need for Odin etc stuff to get encryption out from phone, just do factory reset from your Rom settings and it decrypt phone back to normal and then just flash any Rom from your recovery as usual.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bensr20det:
No worries. Thanks for the follow up. Seems like I tried that once And I had some issue. I'm sure I just did something wrong. my big issue with needing to encrypt is that some early builds on a few ROMs have had issues for me even getting the encryption to work. This was just a huge pain. Good news for me is I am currently testing a new email client at work called Good Work. This client does not require full phone encryption as it encrypts the email container within the app. The app can even be restored with titanium which is great because Good for Enterprise could not.

I thought I would try again as I have still got nowhere flashing my new rom, I have tried everything I can think of and still get the same results. I am currently on this rom - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2557353 - ROM]【5.0】Google Play Edition 【LRX219】

Well this is the ROM I am trying to flash, I am on an older (4.4.4) version of this Rom. I have downloaded the ZIP multiple times, just in-case it was a corrupt download, but it's not. So I am putting it on my external SD card, along with the 4.4.4 ZIP as a backup.

I boot into recovery, choose factory reset > then do a full wipe as well > then clear the cache etc. I then choose to flash the 5.0 file,

everything seems fine... says it has successfully flashed > reboot system.

The phone turns on, sits at the Samsung boot screen for 20 seconds, then the phone goes off and reboots into recovery. I really am stuck here, so I have to flash my old rom back and start from scratch with that rom setting it up etc. Quite annoying, I just want to be able to enjoy the awesomeness of this rom!!

Has anyone got any advice? Or experienced this?

It is a gt-i9505 on VODAFONE. - see attached screenshot.

Hi,

Please try wiping system partition as well before flashing the ROM. As far as it looks you're only clearing data and cache. According to the ROM thread you should do a system wiping as well.

2 - go to /efs/imei , edit "mps_code.dat" and change "BTU" to "DBT"

3 - reboot into STOCK Recovery and see if it worked, if not , wipe data and check again
