[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] DocRambone:
Hi, the good thing about the new samsung/Google rom for9505 is that's it is based on TW roms.

This gives a possibility to port it to 9500, there is lots of obstacles to fix tho.

As for now i get some fcs in various apps so a beta is still some days off.

What's the advantages of GE ROM over TW de-bloated ROM?

I really don't see the reason to move.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Nasty_z:
If you don't see the reason, I'm afraid this isn't for you. Search the net for advantages of pure android over skinned android (like touchwiz etc), you'll find many detailed articles.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] DocRambone:
Hi all, no beta testing for now, lots off debugging ongoing so for now the only tool i use is logcat.

But thanks anyway, i put up an beta when i am done with the major bugs.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] sorg:
1) It's not pure android. It's not AOSP. It's google edition, but ROM is made by Samsung. It's not Nexus type. It still TouchWiz based. Just uses skin from pure android and non-modified google apps. Both skin and google apps can be changed on original TW ROM with hacks.

2) before hurry to post, stop for a while and think. Do you see i'm registered on 2006? Do you think i'm as dummy as you think? If you don't understand the question, don't try to answer it. It's simple.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] postall:
Please show me where in GE rom did you see TW?! Cam - no, Settings - no, Launcher - still no. So where it is?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Nasty_z:
1) It is pure android. Touchwiz based means it uses the same drivers and stuff that other touchwiz firmware use. So, it can be ported over using I9500 firmware as base. The rest is still like aosp. Ergo, search again on the net for aosp.

2) No, I don't see that you're registered since 2006. I posted using Tapatalk, if you're there since 2006 I'm pretty sure you know that Tapatalk doesn't show those details unless you tap on the user. No, I don't think you're 'dummy', I never said that. And yes, I won't bother answering you again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] sorg:
framework/twframework.jar

framework/twframework-res.apk

Overall, if you look into framework dir of GE ROM 4.2.2 you won't find noticeable differences.

P.S.: I've told already, Google apps are not modified. No need to give such examples. For me GE 4.2.2 ROM looks like Samsung ROM framework + original google apps (with some tweaks in framework of course).

Spending a lot of time to make GE ROM work just because of skin? For me it looks strange.

Ok. i rephrase my question to be more specific:

What GE ROM can give besides skin (from my point of view - very ugly skin), if take in account that original TW ROM can be debloated to very extreme condition like GE ROM?

I see some people already worrying about loosing Samsung camera which much better than simple google camera (actually, the camera of one single feature - Sphere) ;)

---------- Post added at 01:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ----------

Google Apps are not AOSP. Framework is from Samsung which is not AOSP either. There is nothing from AOSP in this GE ROM. You see the same skin like in AOSP and make conclusion just by this fact.

And of course i know what is AOSP. I use it to make hacks for my Android devices. Do you know who made CRT effect for SGS3 4.1.x and SGS4 4.2.x and how it has been made?

Yeah.. i don't know what is AOSP.. really ;)

---------- Post added at 01:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 AM ----------

Btw, GE ROM 4.3 looks much cleaner from samsung framework. It should be very close to pure Android, but i'm afraid it won't be possible to port to I9500, except taking some apps and small hacks.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] DocRambone:
Check the 2nd post in this thread.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] matrix.bharath:
Thanks Doc :) :cyclops: also, to re install bloat should we just move the apps bac to system/app directory? and what about faceunlock and features, samsung remote controll and back up etc. will all these work... just want to go for a smooth transition while changing roms :) Barebone for sure
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] DocRambone:
Easiest way: open the rom zip file with 7-zip (freeware) and drop the apk's you want to add to system/app.

Install.

If you forget something: repeat the process.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] matrix.bharath:
You mean before flashing i need to drop i and then flash? what if i need some apps later post flashing should i again add to the zip file and then flash again? or can i just move that to system app directory directly ?

TIA :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] DocRambone:
Do it before the flash, in that way you don't need to worry about setting the app permissions, as you would need if you just move them to system/app
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] marcedli:
Hej Doc!

What a surprise to see you again! Probably I'll not join the party now but your presence here made me think it over again whether to buy an S4 or not. I'm very glad, I hope everything is ok with you, I'll follow this topic from now on!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] matrix.bharath:
Thanks m on to flashing, one last thing is you have also removed all Google Apk's, like contacts synch and calendar sync, i think you should add those back again as the flashable ones will not include that so no contacts etc. will sync on flash of this ROM.

EDIT : Also Please post the Deodexed bloatware apps link, the one in the OP is odexed apps i dont think those can be put in this or can it?

Here is the Deodexed Apps link FYI - https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByS6aSUbYsB_b2p2M0t2V2lTM2s&usp=sharing

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] mflow:
well, it works via CWM :D

the only thing i notice tho.. this is a debloated ROM, and the free space still shows up as 8.82GB .

looks like there is some space reserved for system, or maybe there is another partition? lol

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] matrix.bharath:
Finally Flashed :D its very fast to start with... but u need do a couple of things.

It asks for root fix just before reboot - is this normal

Google Contacts dont sync u need to add apk's for that to work..

Band Service keeps popping up in FC - i included the apk and now its fine.

the themed status bar after flash doesnt have any status bar..
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] DocRambone:
Hi Friends, loong time no see. Hope you all done well so far. :highfive:

I been absent from the android scene for some time: kids and work take all time.

Anyway, i just got an 9500 and it badly need some work.

As Wanam don't yet have his magical roms cooking i needed to make some myself.

I will continue making slim roms and post them in this thread, the goal is to get closer to aosp but still keep some of the strong points of samsungs features and apps.

I probably swap to a Wananbased base rom when he get it running.

9505 depends very much on how well CM team gets CM10 running on the 9505.

I may swap to an 9505 if they get it running well.

Thanks, bit rusty on the symlinks ;)

Looking forward to your roms, was top class o the Note2.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] DocRambone:
Thanks Band.apk was to highly compressed, fixed in next release, same for the google contacts/calendar sync.

For the FC on systemui: make make a reboot after installing the rom, enter recovery and install the statusbar.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] mflow:
nope, it has been removed :D

even Google Contact Sync is not available :D (but you can always add the apk from another source)

Will the Samsung gimmicks still work?

I like the Watchon feature and some other features...
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] shamps:
+1

Even i wanted to ask. Since its a hybrid, will the gestures and other stuff work?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Nasty_z:
The browser related features won't work, neither will the email related features work which means that smart scroll won't work..

The camera is samsung stock camera retaining all camera features.

Overall the base is samsung of course, so you can probably add stock features by adding the respective apks to the system/app folder.

The apks can be found here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByS6aSUbYsB_b2p2M0t2V2lTM2s&usp=sharing

I don't know how far I'm right but most 'useful' features will be there while others will be ironed out, I think, to enjoy the smoothness. I'll take smoothness over a couple of features I never use any day. :)

To make it simple, in theory, all samsung features should work with their apks despite the hybrid nature of the rom but one can only tell when using the rom in practical.

Sent from my S IV (Octa Core Beast) ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] shamps:
