New S4 Owner :)

Hi Friends...

I've officially migrated to S4 from S3 :)

I've read a few threads on XDA and have come to the following conclusion in terms of rooting and installing recovery/ROM etc.

My phone is UK (unlocked from Phones4U - GT-I9505, Baseband: I9505XXUAMDM, Build: JDQ39.I9505XXUAMDM)...

As per Great Indie's instructions, I need to do the following (please correct me if wrong):

1) Flash Stock I9505XXUAME2 with odin (3.04??)

2) Make sure your all are working ok with stock XXUAME2

3) Flash TWRP Recovery with odin

4) Boot to TWRP Recovery and flash Omega Rom as follows:

Full Wipe Install:

- Wipe Data / Factory Reset

- Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

- Format System partition

- Install

Bingo.....:) - I believe performing all the above tasks will ROOT, Install RECOVERY & Omega ROM onto my device....CORRECT?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Galaxy s2:
NO,

Wipe delvic

Wipe data

Wipe casch

ONLY!!!

So you will be fine! No resolution issues. Lol. And PLEASE! DO NOT restore any system app! :)

I tried 5 times before I succeeded. In my case, at fifth, I wiped all and once reboot, then reflash ROM. Then WIFI recovers.

After that, Omega ROM installation was no problem.

Battery drain after ugrade to V12

Hi,

Yesterday I upgraded my SG4 with Omega V11 to V12 but now at the end of the day my battery is at 3% instead of 60% it was before.

After full charge to 100% after 1 hour 90%.

Someone having the same issue with V12? Or has a solution?

Thx in advance!

Btw: thx to the Omega team for their great work!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] thexps:
Great rom! Fast and stable (v11.

I was wondering, is there anyway to change The TW dialer and sms/mms to AOSP or similar?

I like The futere when you recive a sms it shows directly on the display, and you can replay directly.

I know many others also want this function but the same time they want omega, maybe something to implant in aroma?

Thanks dev for the hard work on the rom!

I did everything. Reflashing the rom. Flashing with full wipe. Restoring nandroid backup. Flashing stock firmware. Flashing diff kernels. Flashing diff modems. Now I don't what to do. :(

Im using V12 now for a little while and must say that it almost works like a charm.

My battery goes along for almost 2 days without having to recharge it I do hope this will go up in upcoming versions (i know this is utopia)

I do experience some lag now and then. Typing messages in WhatsApp for example goes slower than im actually typing. A reboot of the phone sometimes works.

Any clues on why or when lag occurs i dont know

I don't know which country you're from but I had this once and lost my basebandversion...and had no efs backup.. :s I flashed XXUAME2 firmware and it fixt everything... hope you find a good stock firmware.

T-mobile

I think my friend's phone was a T-mobile... I flashed a stock firmware on it (XXUAME2)... I flashed omega but no wifi... could this be cause it was a t-mobile? or isn't it a T-mobile anymore cause I flashed the firmware? can I restore the t-mobile stcok firmware if nessecary?

or it doesn't matter if it's a T-mobile or not? cause the model is I9505...

data dropping issue

OK, So i'm using the Omega V12 on my ATT S4 and my data connection is dropping, i see here in the forum that i need to flash a different modem, I'm currently on modem : I337UCUAMDL, which modem should i switch too?

also if you are using a ATT S4 and not having this issue, what modem are you using?

thanks you in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] JAG131990:
I have gone back to V10 now. V12 caused my Gmail app to stop syncing I could not change from inbox and nothing new would pop up in inbox. The battery life was also worse. V11 I had problems with auto brightness no longer worked. I could scroll left and right on slider and brightness wouldnt change (-5, +5) I also found battery to be worse on V11.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] pruhster:
I think it's just the opposite, an early 4.3 Omega will be much appreciated by the users as it really gives them an edge over sticking to official OTAs. Having a trusted developer package a leaked official software lets less experienced users get all the latest features without having to deal with installing the right modem with the right firmware and bootloader, messing things up in the process, toggeling that feared Knox switch, etc.

I remember indie used to say about the S3 he wouldn't release omega versions based on leaks but he ended up doing it for every leak. The 4.2 based omega for the S3 is totally usable (and i stuck with it for months) even though Samsung decided to never release it officially (and skip to 4.3).

I actually don't have Omega on my S4 yet, just because I'm waiting for an update that'll justify installing a recovery, wiping data and restoring everything. So I hope we get one.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Aiden88:

Hey indie, gotta love your rom, probably the best rom for i9505 out there!

Also, could you add the back to kill mod too? that would be great!

Dead S4

I was on Omega v11 and flashed Omega v10, I wanted an step back. There wasn't any problem in the installation process, as usual, but once this was finished I chose "reboot device" and the device turned off but never turned on again, even plugging in the battery charger makes no effect at all, nothing happens. Keeping the power button pressed during ten seconds was useless so finally I removed the battery but this was useless too.

So I suppose my dear S4 is officially dead because of a physical damage.

Of course

I'm not blaming the rom

but maybe somebody here has ever experienced somethig similar :crying:

P.S. In my signature the information about the kernel is not updated, actually I was using the original kernel from Omega 11.
