Note, using the method here does NOT fix the ES File Explorer problem, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42532211&postcount=911

GT-I9505 GOOGLE SE v2.1

Changelog:

- Added WatchOn

- Latest ausdim Kernel (GT-I9505GE) included!!

PDA: UEUAMFD

PHONE: None

CSC: OXXBMF2 (29 codes)

Kernel: ausdim - 3.4.0-Google-Edition - CREDITS to ausdim

Build date: 28.06.2013

Pre-Rooted ROM - ZIP: Downloads: <<< Android Host >>>

I installed this via the ZIP file in PhilZ 6.0.3.2; I did a full wipe/factory reset and wipe cache BEFORE flashing. Flashing went great but when I use ES File Explorer and the Root Explorer, it does not bring up the box where I can click the bubbles to select RW but instead after a few seconds, says this feature is not available. Triangle Away, Mobile Odin, Titanium Backup do not seem to yield any errors.

I am wanting to access the system/apps directory.

Since Mobile Odin Pro worked, I then tried again to flash the zip file selecting inject Mobile Odin, SuperUser etc., still the same problem.

Any ideas in addition to the two flashes I have done? I did search the last 2 pages and I don't recall seeing anything about this issue on the OP.

---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

Chalk that up for me as well. I replied (it's currently on page 62) with the steps I tried and failed to repair the problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fAiLOfax:
No Problem, you can flash MF8 Pre-Rooted over the MF4 but you should have CWM Recovery to do that. The stock recovery might wipe all data.

My Post #2806 can help you too! ;)

Mate, READ more... Everyone knows now that ES File manager have a problem with getting root access... Use ANY OTHER FILE MANAGER!!

Battery life seams to be awesome: GoogleSE v2.1 (4.2.2) + Ausdim Kernel :)

I haven't use it a lot but : Screen ON: ~1hr , WiFi ON all the time, Data (3G) ON: 6hrs, ~50 photos taken, Video recording for couple of minutes, few SpeedTest's and few Antutu tests... Lost 30% over 21hrs... :)

In other threads people has reported that 1 core stays all the time @ 1.89GHz but I recon that it is App faulty readings (CPU-Z)

I've tested CPU with other apps (BBS and No-Frills CPU) and it's all OK.. Deep sleep all the time, CPU stays as low as possible.. :)

For me Google Edition is uncomfortable. :p

The "quick toggles" must be selected and then a new window appears where you can turn on and off, stupid! :silly:

The orig. file manager is completely absent, unlock the SIM takes 30 seconds every time you restarts.

The google search bar can not be removed aso...

Nice try but not useful. :rolleyes:

Get "Power Toggles" from the market.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kafej666:
Some tips for G version:

Install:

Xposed Installer from link

Enable Call Recording link

Xposed Tweakbox link

Go to Xposed Installer and on "Framework" tab click Install/Update, then go to "Modules" and enable modules (Xposed tweakbox and Enable Call Recording). Back to "Framework" tab and click Soft reboot.

In Xposed tweakbox you can for example set up transparent status bar, disable CRT and staff like that :P GOOD LUCK ! :D

REMEBER TO DO SOFT REBOOT AFTER THE CHANGE IN TWEAKBOX !!

A lot of modules for Xposed are here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2189965

for example battery mods, multi window mod ...

and the most iportant thing: you can change LONG HOME KEY BEHAVIOUR with tweakbox !!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kafej666:
It's not a ES Explorer issue ... This problem is from KERNEL side ... It's rooted in freaky way. If you will use for example KT-SGS4 kernel, then you will not have any issue at all.

Mate, I did read more which is how I found out that I was not the only one having this problem and adding the BusyBox did not help.

I've had this same problem on different roms for the Galaxy Note, Galaxy n5100 as well. Not every rom but random ones.

I've seen several file explorers on Play store. Since I just restored my S4 to it's previous system, what is a file explorer that works with root on this Google Edition?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] pitcher85:
I actually forgot to test it while being on the Google Edition, but FX Explorer with its Root Addon should work :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] malybru:
Hi,

Solid Explorer works on Google SE

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] crazyut:
Hey, thanks.

I just installed the FX Explorer on my n5100. It takes a bit to get setup so that it's not busy. I think I'll wait for another edition of the Google Edition. Meanwhile, I'll play with this FX Explorer to see if I can get used to it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
I'm using "File Manager" and never ever had any problems with it. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] pitcher85:

Yup and I also could not find a way to add/replace the quick toggles in the Google Edition. Or did I overlook an option? :confused:

Will wait for a more stable CM version to get the pure Android feeling but still having the customizing options :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] pitcher85:
Hehe thanks, I read that ;)

But I don't like to have a third party app in the notification window if there is an Android build-in way.

And even on Samsung Stock Roms you can modfiy the order of the quick toggles and you have a lot more toggles available.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] malybru:

It is exactly like the Android version.

You drop the notification bar,and there it is,with whatever icons you want.

There is even an option to change the color.

Otherwise try the "FIle Manager" mentioned by DjeMBeY.

After I went into Tools, Mount Read/Write, it worked but having to do that on the specific folder is stupid especially since the Allow All Access option mentioned above (the way I interpreted it) I thought would have given me access. What a pain in the *ss.

Will we get odin flashable GPe roms in the future or will they always need custom recovery in order to flash them?

I'm in no rush, gonna wait until 4.3 goes official before moving over to the GPe roms.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
There's NO point in making Odin flashable version (yet) as we have to use Custom Kernel and your Binary Counter will be increased anyway so it's better to use Custom Recovery and then flash any ROM as many times as you want and your Counter will stay 1...

Once we have Official FW for I9505G then I'll make Odin flashable ROM's :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dublinz:
you are the man :)

In regards to HD sound, i enable hd sound prior to upgrade to MF8, thought i dont know how to verify is hd still enabled or not, sound wise i dont hear any difference ....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Flash any GSM Modem (up to ME2) , go to Service Mode (*#0011#) and check WB-AMR codec, activate it if needed and flash MF8 modem afterwards or keep ME2..

FYI: HD Voice will get (de-)activated ONLY after wiping data or Factory Reset. Flashing Modem won't affect it though :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] zeb_:
Hi DjeMBeY,

Just a quick question: what makes your ROM not incrementing the flash counter (and detected to official) compared to the other ROMS that do? Is it something with the code base, the CSC?

I've probably missed the answer already, but how do you check if HD voice is enabled if you're already on a newer version? I've seen posts say the check works up to MEA I think, but what about on newer ones? Was the feature dropped or something?

Hi djembey!

Since I tried out GE V2.1 and going back to MF8 (nandroid) I couldn´t reset the counter with Triangle Away 3.0 from 2 to 1 (0 is is not possible anyway).

Could there be remainings from GE that cause this problem?

I now try on stock kernel and recovery. Hope you can allay my guess! ;)

Edit 1: I am on stock kernel and recovery (MF8) and wifi does not switch on! :( What the heck...

Edit 2: Flashed Modem and Wifi new but no change! :(

Edit 3: Flashed twice Wifi FIX but dosn´t work. :(

Seems that its totaly f*cked up with no custom kernel/recovery. Don´t know! :p

You've been following my thread for a while and you should know by now that "WiFi Issue" is caused by incorrect flash..

Sometimes NON-HLOS.bin is not going through and Odin is NOT giving any errors...

Just flash WiFi FIX (as PHONE) or whole ROM again and again until it works... :p

Not sure what is happening, wipe data from recovery or install it again ;)

In fact at this time I am using the stock rom, but I rooted it using a custom recovery and installed SuperSU..and make several nandroid backups..

What do you suggest me and which rom should I take from you..

N.B: I tried to check for firmware updates but now it says that my phone has been modified and that I cannot check /get updates..

Thank you for your help..

N.B: I am new in SGS4 dev. but I had a galaxy s2 and tried lot of customs roms. so i have some basic general dev knowledge and I know what ODIN is and how to use it..

How to remain as stock as possible

Wanam is currently on holidays (enjoy it, mate), so I'm "playing" with other toys. Flashahoolic, I become.

Switched from WanamLite 1.3 to stock MF5 a few days ago with brand new i9505 friendly Mobile Odin (even if I read the first dialog box a tad fast, stupid me) injecting root the same time.

Then, Monday, on the go, I flashed stock MF8 (no slim) the same way, injecting ever root, no wipe (I mean, I kept all my personal apps and settings, system settings too), didn't loose WiFi, except a few crap/bloatware to disable with Titanium Backup, it's all OK since then.

Since I keep Philz recovery, I'm not blessed for OTA but as Djembey stated, who cares? But Triangle away has reset the counter the right way.

Thanks to Djembey keeping this way up --stock with minimum modification--, this thread is lessons full. :good:
