Updating

Hi mates,

Sorry for asking this way; as from Indie's description of updating to 5.0, I need to install stock rom first.

I got the i9505, with Omega 3.0, Next Launcher, 3Minit 2.0....

I would like to retain my apps & user settings, but they will be lost when installing Stock rom.

I'm not familiar with Titanium Backup, but have purchased it now (earlier I would have used nandroid as I'm quite familiar with it, but not with the TWRP).

My question is as follow;

What backup option should I use to backup all my user apps incl settings (With Titanium Backup OR TWRP?

Then the routine will be "do the backup", then follow Indie's description, then restore all user apps incl settings.

RIght? Or...?

In advance, thanx!

Are you guys using stock kernel or which custom? :/

Have tried ktonz but stock was better in battery... Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gimmick56:
Hi mate,

and yes your right with your install routine

I really want to flash this ROM... I'm still a bit scared off rooting and flashing recovery, although I have enough experience...

The fact my phone is just 3 days old, isn't making it easier for me :P
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
LOL my phone was only 3 hours old when I flashed Omega :laugh:

Just follow the instruction on page 1 closely and you will be safe, and if needed there are plenty friendly people here to guide you through.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ::indie:::
Because at the time only MDE could be rooted correct,

when rom is finished and all will work then I will add mods and the latest firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lukemo:
I understand your point but in my opinion it could be easier to setup an hybrid MDM rooted rom (the one I flashed now), cause the MDE rooted kernel works like a charm on the new basis and you got other malfunction problems from MDE.

In general, apart from Omega, we (I9505 owners) have three major problems till now:

1) apart from you Indie (you're the one...), the best developers seem dedicated to I9500, with disasters from other "sorcerer's apprentice" (think to recovery, some terrible threads - I obtained that some of them had been closed)

2) the very long, too long Chainfire's holiday...

3) various blocks from samsung on kernel in particular

In one word: the phone is a disaster till now with stock rom (lags but in particular terrible battery draining), it's not so supported at the beginning as I expected compared to S3 and HTC One. From usability point of view, please don't blame me, One is far better.

I really messed up... :(

Hi guys,

I really messed up!

When doing the delete of cache etc, I also pressed the System Data !

I've tried all ways with installing Omega, no luck.

Did DL the stock ROM (MDE) and used DL mode, no luck.

It just stops with the Galaxy S4 logo on bootscreen.

So, any ideas on how to get it to boot again?

(right now I'm trying emergency restore through Kies...)

Btw; I'm in Norway :)

I have heared that Samsung has changed stock kernel that root is very difficult with stock kernel because they dont want again that big security issues which was with S3 and Note2. So at this point rooting newer firmware than MDG is VERY DIFFICULT with stock kernel but with custom kernel=EASY!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] asgard:
Can't believe all the WiFi etc problems in this thread. If you follow the clear and simple advice given in this thread you will get the end result you want. I can confirm Wifi works 100% and also can confirm Wifi will NOT work if you come from a newer base.

Here is what I did:

1. Factory Reset, Wipes, Reinstalls, Everything... over an MDM base - No WiFi.

2. Installed an MDE modem , resets, wipes, everything... NO WIFI.

THIS IS WHAT *DOES* WORK IF YOU ARE HAVING WIFI ISSUES:

1. Factory Reset.

2. Odin Flash an MDE FULLY, not just the PDA, a full MDE package. I used the Telstra(AU) specific MDE from the thread in general.

3. (re)installed working TWRP recovery

4. Installed latest (post 205) Omega via TWRP/Recovery.

5. SUCCESS - Wifi OK, Stupid KNOX/SELinux/**** Warnings - GONE!

Follow through the steps above and you're certain to have success. If you don't have WiFi and/or getting alerts from KNOX/SE then you didn't factory reset and go from a completely full MDE base, I can guarantee it.

Hope this helps some people having difficulties.

Wifi issue fixed

I was upgrading from Omega 3.0 (Adam Kernel 1.2) to Omega 5.0 with NO Full Wipe.

After flashing I had a problem with Wifi - it didn't work.

I reflashed Omega 5.0 - nothing changed, Wifi still didn't work.

I downloaded Adam Kernel 1.3.2 with Omega Files, flashed it in CWM, rebooted - and Wifi was fixed.

So, people, you if you have problems with wifi after upgrading without Full Wipe - try to change kernel (like I did), or reflash stock kernel (maybe it helps).

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] afx69:
Hi Maxobus,

So you did upgrade DIRECTLY from 3.0 to 5.0 without installing the stock rom?

Basically, jsut download 5.0, put it onto the SD, and do the install from Recovery, nothing more? Yes, and "re-install" the kernel obviously for WiFi...

What about the version of the radio's, did they upgrade too?

Just asking to clarify, as I dont want to set it all up again :)

Change CSC for UK-Three H3G

Everything seems to have installed ok following the very clear procedure in the install post. no fc's and I also have option to select lte in

Mobile network: LTE/WCDMA/GSM (AUTO CONNECT)

Only had three options, now have 4 on mobile network choice after applying the enable LTE zip file from this thread.

AP: i9505XXUMBMEA

CP: I9505XXUBMEA

CSC: I9505XAI9505OXA

Is there an option to change the CSC so they are the same instead of OXA as I don't seem to be getting the best speed result prior to flashing "Omega v5".

I am on UK-Three H3G network so the same network csc might perform better. Would appreciate a link or instructions on how to change if possible.

And the apps that have passwords saves, bank apps already registered and would need going through the new registration process again.. such a pain that is....

I assume an image which includes the correct csc, or an image that did not change the csc in the first instance of install.

Hi ajwconsult

Im a Three network user using standard BTU which omega 5.0 comes with no need to change your csc all is working well. the only thing the H3G csc gives you extra is to make your default websites points to the three network and enables hd calls. and makes some changes to your sms mailbox limits nothing special so would not worry.

Wait until the next release of Omega rom then setup. the CSC then. if it bothers you.

Hi,

I was utilizing V3.1 with Ktoonsez Kernel.

Yesterday I tried to update to V5.0 and reinstalled after Omega booted up for teh first time, then my phone (i9505) started to get too warm.

I checekd and saw that all cores were online all the time and changing to any governor wouldn't change the situation.

I restarted on CWM, wiped everything and every folder, and flashed stock XXUAME2 twice as the thread indicates. Ok, everything working.

Then I flashed V3.1 as it was working. Waited 10 minuts and flashed the Kernel was it was working like a charm before.

Looked like it was working like a charm, but then, i stoped to check that on every benchmark the phone was about 30% slower (including the graphic bench Epic Cidatel) and the phone was not charging when pluged to wall charger.:(:(
