[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] omniwolf:
Has anyone tried flashing Domination theme on v1.5 of this ROM? I have it, and none of the Wanam Xposed settings are working. Do I have to flash the Xposed framework on top of this ROM? I thought it was included in the ROM.

things I have tried:

- 4 way reboot

- circle battery

- signal bar count

- quick settings tiles

- remove gaps between toggles

- etc

none of them seem to take effect. Was the wanam Xposed app installed for you automatically too? It wasn't for me, i had to get it from the play store.

hmm looking at the install script, i think i'm supposed to have a /data/xposed/ directory? I don't.. can anyone else confirm that they have it?

[edit]

Yep, you're supposed to have the /data/xposed dir. I reflashed Wanam 1.5 over the top and it fixed it for me. all working now!

everything work just fine from here. everytime wanam app update u need to open xposed installer and uncheck and check wanam xposed again then reboot for get it too work, this is nothing to do with this theme.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bervin:
coming from echoerom MH8 will this work? because i read something about MH8 updating bootloader and not being backward compatible? [MENTION=3562083]wanam[/MENTION] or the rest
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] PearLRoX:
1+

Got the same question in my head..

Really hate stock for now..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] destynova1988:
There´s no problem. I flashed Echoe MH8, didn´t like it and came back to Wanam once again. As far as I understood, only roms flashed with odin change the bootloader. At least mine got intact.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] omniwolf:
Ok thanks, can you check your /data directory and see if there's an Xposed directory? I don't have one and I think it's supposed to be there? I don't have "Xposed installer" either.. not that I can see in my app drawer anyway.. I think I may have a partial install or something
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] shanume:
I think this is wrong with yours, I have everything, but are u using 1.4 wanamlite right, if yes this one dont come with xposed framework as preinstall, like 1.5 wanamlite rom.

so u have to flash xposed framework first before u can get thing to work

Hey guys, random thing I just discovered while holding too many gadgets at once and trying to smoke simultaneously. As you know, random objects (pencil, pen, popsicles.....) do not work on phone\tablet screens since capacitive screens use dielectric conductivity between the screen and skin. However, the electric cigarettes you see everyone using nowadays, do in fact work quite well. The bottom part of them, where the battery casing is, for clarification. Anyhow, never seen this mentioned anywhere and figured this is the spot for it.

Tested with an eGo SOV model, but I imagine the concept is universally applicable.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] highlander_q8:
I have installed widcomm 1-4-1-59 for pocket pc phone edition on my

I-Mate II and i use Resco Explorer ver 5.10 for sending files by bluetooth

so my problems is when i try to send any file to any bluetooth enabled

device like nokia phones it asks for passkey

i went to bluetooth settings >> File Transfer service settings

i've removed the check from authorization required and also from

authenticaion (passkey) required,, same problem it still asks for passkey.

i hope i will find the answer in this great forum.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] markutah:
Pair them first

Have you paired the two devices first. If not then pair them first.

If they were paired before installation of widcomm 1-4-1-59 then remove the pair from Nokia and pair them again with the new stack.

This should solve your problem.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] KiamatDusk:
Since yesterday I've been experiencing issues with location features on non-Google apps. Specifically:

Waze boots then FCs.

Facebook can't find my location when I try to check in, but CAN find my location if I tap the location icon when writing a status update.

Google apps are unaffected. Navigation works fine and check ins via the G+ app also work properly.

The only things I've done since the last time I used Waze or Facebook was to install Rootkeeper and attempt to install the latest OTA. The OTA installation failed at the bootloader so I don't think any system changes were made.

Regardless, I've since uninstalled Rootkeeper and flashed the odexed, updated stock ROM that viperboy posted but that hasn't fixed the problem.

Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] EZPIMP69:
I am also experiencing issues with my location update. This started after the update was installed on my device. My phone reads "current location" but never updates. I have rebooted many times but no fix.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] AikiMike:
I am encountering the same issue. I justed restored my One to a unrooted stock state last night. This morning ran into the same issue of Waze closing when trying to launch it. Also noticed that the location displayed on the phone now says ""My Location", Yelp and Foursquare will not display useful info unless I get a GPS signal. Foursquare shows me results all over the globe (Tel Aviv, Sai Paulo) and when the map appears in Yelp it is off the coast of West Africa....
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] EZPIMP69:
Lol. Wow. I wonder if anyone else has this issue. If so, HTC needs to push a fix soon.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] AikiMike:
Well looks like a factory restore has resolved my issues. Thank goodness for Helium.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] KiamatDusk:
Factory reset worked for me as well. Thanks, Helium!!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] EZPIMP69:
I hate to do a factory reset when I just setup my phone. I'm not rooted yet so I can't make a backup.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bpschoon:
I've got it too, however its affecting Google Now.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] EZPIMP69:
My Google now also isn't showing location or weather. The Facebook check in feature also does not detect my location.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] noneed2aim:
Can't lock on a location in Google now either
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] AikiMike:
And once again location services are no longer working. What the hell is going on?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] EZPIMP69:
I'm not sure what's going on but I'm getting annoyed by this.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] AikiMike:
I cannot post links yet but it looks like Google is aware of it. Seems to be limited to HTC devices so far. Looks to be related to the recent Google play services update. Makes me wonder what HTC did that could cause this....
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] subhumanderelict:
Same issue here... I can't even get a basic (tower-triangulated) location in Google Maps with my GPS off.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] EZPIMP69:
It's been a week now and my phone is still not showing location. What's going on?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] EZPIMP69:
Has anyone figured out how to fix this problem?
[Galaxy S 4 General] samose:
So I bought the Octa Core version too and took some pics with both phones. The i9500 seems to win although the SD600 variant is great too. Shame on Samsung for (probably) two different camera senors on each of them. I'll definitely go with the Exynos version.

There's much more detail on the Exynos version (check out the image of the balcony).

I9500:

[Galaxy S 4 General] Beefheart:
The sensors are the same so if there is a difference in quality is not down to that.
[Galaxy S 4 General] noideaforusername:
It's probably a camera software differences and not sensors.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Beefheart:
That is certainly possible. I remember comparing my faulty HD2 photo quality before I returned it with my newly received one just to see if there was a difference in quality and found there was. Sometimes even identical hardware can throw up different results, especially on something as software dependant as a phone. Those photos don't conclusively prove anything.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
First of all, many thanks for this!

The dynamic range is noticeably better on the Octa-core, it still captures the texture of the yellow house under direct sunlight while the SD600 version loses it due to the light flow. The Octa-core also has a little more details as expected with zero traces of noise on the clouds. It appears that the SD600 sensors produces some noise even in daylight, so a minimal denoising and some sharpening is required. As said many times before, the differences are not major but noticeable, hope we'll see some more comparisons, thank you very much for these!
[Galaxy S 4 General] kultus:
i9500: Sony Exmor RS

i9505: Sony Exmor R

anyway Im very satisfied with i9505 photos! just compared your orange house composition and the difference is minimal except better house wall texture and very little noise difference is minimal!
[Galaxy S 4 General] foxy4270:
Comparing the two sets i can tell Exynos is slightly better.

It handles dynamic range better.

Although the differences are minimal.About 3-4% better.

I'd like to see some night shoots comparison as well.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Beefheart:
This hasn't been confirmed by anyone.

[Galaxy S 4 General] bala_gamer:
its been confirmed by many in the camera comparison thread by [MENTION=4890367]BoneXDA[/MENTION]

9500 is Sony IMX135(Exmor RS)

9505 is Sony IMX091PQ(Exmor R)

RS sensor is newer one
[Galaxy S 4 General] demlasjr:
In the above photos I see no differences, not even between those balcony photos.

Yep, and to be honest, if it's really true, I'm happy with the Exmor R

Why?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwN_WcBBPaA

Looks more sharper than the RS
[Galaxy S 4 General] bala_gamer:
the video is not valid if the lens used in xperias is different from the one in s4 ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] demlasjr:
Well, the sensor is more important than the lens, but the lens have its part too. However, I see no differences between the photos posted by op ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] AndreiLux:
Sensor and lens are both tremendously important. You're trying to argue against technical facts here backed up by real-world feedback. The RS sensor is simply superior.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mithrandir007:
I agree that both look great, but can you honestly say that you cannot see a difference in the balcony picture crop?

The balcony and the walls have a lot more details on the i9500 in that photo.

When you zoom in the photo, you can also see a difference in the tree leaves and branches, and other small details.

It's pretty easy to spot now that we have side by side photos.

Concerning the video, I wouldn't trust Xperia photo/video quality after seeing photos from those devices, even though it is Exmor RS (the difference with the S4 is huge, I'm guessing their post processing is really bad).

And as AndreiLux said, both the sensor and lens are important.

That being said, noone is saying you shouldn't be happy with the i9505 camera, I've seen extremely good photos taken with that one, to the point that I didn't know whether is was taken by a i9505 or i9500 (in the photos thread), but you don't have to blindly contradict everything that shows the i9500 as a slightly better camera phone to try to convince yourself, just enjoy yours.

In a few months, there will probably be better ones anyway.
[Galaxy S 4 General] greenhorngreen:
Hi guys! i9500 user here from the Philippines..

Do you experience not able to use your phone's cam flash bec. of the phone sayin like "can't use flash bec. of the phone being warm." We know sometime our phones gets warm due to running alot of heavy app or taking videos on your phone but it shouldn't affect using your flash..
[Galaxy S 4 General] bala_gamer:
i saw that it one of the xml files.. did you note the temperature when you got the message?
[Galaxy S 4 General] greenhorngreen:
Not yet.. what's the best app to monitor the phones temp? Have you experienced the same flash issue? I mean its works.. its just the on a certain temp the phone will not use flash..
[Galaxy S 4 General] bala_gamer:
use cooltool or system tuner to monitor temps. no i havent experienced this(yet)
[Galaxy S 4 General] greenhorngreen:
I'll give it a shot. Thanks :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] exec99:
Actually I don't think its dynamic range. It's just that i9505 picture has a bit longer exposure time 1/713 vs 1/764 on the octa so the snapdragon picture is brighter and that yellow wall is a little overexposed I think.

But I agree- the octa captures a little more details and I think it has slightly cooler white balance.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mithrandir007:
The difference seems to be a lot more than that the 7-8% difference in exposure time.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ixon2001:
I9500 pictures atm look slightly better in some parts than the I9505, but let not forget the S4 only just come out, with a few more updates I've no doubt Samsung will improve the camera picture quality & the software that runs it as i feel this isn't as polished as it should be neither.
[Galaxy S 4 General] exec99:
Keep in mind that second pictures are HDRs and third ones are HDR vs non-hdr so the only the pictures with yellow house can be compared directly.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
It is typical dynamic range issue, bright source causing glowing effect that bleeds through the sensor, losing small details visible on the other device. The small parts is where the RS 'shines', grass, tarmac on the background etc., where the R sensor cant separate tiny details and captures rather uniform data. Then again, it's nothing 95% will notice unless they look for it, but it's there. I also notices that the RS is almost always spot on with the colors, some R vs. 808/920/One comparisons show that color range is not always accurate on the SD.

Hopefully we'll get a few more comparison shots and some analysis as which one responds faster, captures better moving object, low light shots, macros, etc. This is I think the world's first I9500 vs. I9505 camera comparison.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
Care to point us to the exact post? When looking for spare parts I noticed that the same sensor goes into both phones, so I'm still not sure I'm convinced the i9500 has a different sensor.
[Galaxy S 4 General] exec99:
Actually there was a comparison done by pocketnow (youtube) and i think i9505 looked better - they were warmer while octa s4 had very slight green tint so the white balance looked a little cooler.
[Galaxy S 4 General] bala_gamer:

[Galaxy S 4 General] exec99:
Images from pocketnow video review. Octa vs snapdragon. Look at the lamppost on the left (octa is greener/cooler), and at these white houses on the right - they look better (better contrast?). However I suppose the octa version handles fine details better and s600 version tends use a little longer exposure times so the highlights might be a little overexposed sometimes.

Octa:

Snap:
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
Video is not exactly good for still comparison as it shakes, focus changes up etc, then it's converted by video editing then it's converted by YouTube. Have they done a camera comparison with full-size photos? I don't recall such an article strangely.

I don't see how the Octa is greener BTW, actually it looks a little less saturated which is good, plus the lamp post is not telling too much since it's out of focus as the subject is the street. Not much to tell about those video snaps I'm afraid.

BTW, it appears the Octa's FOV is ever slightly wider.
[Galaxy S 4 General] exec99:
Here's the review : http://pocketnow.com/2013/04/30/galaxy-s-4-octa-vs-galaxy-s-4-quad-video (and no, there's no shakes and focus changes there - see for yourself - there are more still photo comparisons in the video).

It doesn't matter that the lamp post is not entirely in focus - look at its color. Try switching photos quickly and look somewhere elsewhere - sidewalk, street, buildings, tree on the left - they are all warmer on the quad core version. But even the s600 version isn't warm enough...
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
Yup convinced now. Thanks. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
Nah, the Octa is most definitely the more accurate of the two, it actually comes super-close to the reference model PureView 808:

http://translate.google.com/transla.../mobile-review.com/review/phototest2013.shtml

Then again, I'm not gonna judge from video stills cause even encoding changes colors, and it was recoded by YouTube as well. Over the course of hundreds of pictures I've seen, the Octa-core is more consistently getting natural results, while the SD600 tends oversaturation and narrower range of colors. You can trust me on this 100%.
[Galaxy S 4 General] demlasjr:
[MENTION=583140]Mithrandir007[/MENTION] I se no difference through Tapatalk. I will check through my pic today. I've seen the pocketnow review weeks ago when it was released and I liked more the S600 camera, but both phone cameras have the same quality and is not 100% confirmed that is different sensor. For forget that the drivers can be different because of the cpu differences, making octa photos a big greenish. Not big deal however, for high quality photos I have a Canon Reflex, we got enough comparing with the HTC one :p
[Galaxy S 4 General] exec99:
But compare it to a DSLR. It's just not warm enough. And if the octa version has even cooler white balance it means that people faces might look unhealthy. Here is gsmarena comparison:

Ok, but have you seen low light photo compariosn from that review? There is a strong green tint on the octa version. I'm not saying that this is a huge issue or something, but I just think that the white balance is too cold on both versions (especially on octa version), but apart from that both versions are capable of capturing great pictures.

The way I see it:

1. Octa - better details, but cooler white balance

2. Snapdragon - a little warmer, but a little worse fine details resolution and slightly overexposed highlights.
[Galaxy S 4 General] edyboy:
This is simple logic, Exmor RS is an upgrade from Exmor R therefore Exmor RS should be better. I believe Samsung crippled Exmor RS potential to make pictures on par with Exmor R and avoid complaints like this. Hopefully open developers would find a way to maximize it's potential.

Remember that Exmor RS is the World's First Stacked CMOS Image Sensor.

[Galaxy S 4 General] yahyoh:
O_o
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
Nah, it's unlikely they crippled anything. The only issue of the RS is in low light, the sensor is too small to pull DSLR comparable results and the longest exposure time is set at 1/15s. Night mode is still quite capable, and daylight is simply spectacular.

Wow :eek:

The S4 pictures are better than the DSLR and Pureview :highfive::victory::good::D
[Galaxy S 4 General] yahyoh:
i think its mostly software thing , if they allow for longer exposure time without OIS the image will ruined with little shake :(

[MENTION=4890367]BoneXDA[/MENTION]

a bit OT but thought of hearing a few opinion on this. Today i took few snaps of the sky using my s4 and a few including the sun(all the photos were awesome ;)). Is there a chance of lens getting damaged or something if exposed to direct sunlight?
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
A quick snap or two every now and then is perfectly okay, the phone will take a very short snap. Keeping the lens facing the sun and somehow making it do longer exposure could damage it though, mostly the heat.

Why don't you share them in the photo thread BTW?
[Galaxy S 4 General] bala_gamer:
will share all the beauty shots soon.. stuck on 2g data as of now...
[Galaxy S 4 General] samose:
For all those wondering, both of these phones were on the newest firmares. So they both had a OTA update. More pictures coming soon!
[Galaxy S 4 General] btemtd:
I cannot see much of a difference in the photos which show that one is better then the other , And you cannot take someones photos as a comparison because every single Shot on either phone will come out slightly different each time u take it unless its professionally done in a studio with the perfect lighting and proper stands etc.. for example one of the phones took a photo without the car driving past and the other one with the car, either way they are too close to even compare I cant believe people have bothered to compare things so close LOL and how do we know the the RS upgrade has anything to do with quality?? from those pictures all I can say is that is one **** upgrade if it has to do with quality. There have been upgrades done in the past in certain gadgets that dont have to do with things being faster or better ... but simply more efficient, different build style, or more stable under certain conditions, for example the RS lense might be 0.0002 m/s quicker to focus or something very minor like this < this is just an example. anyways what ever it is its not going to be much ....

Eg; Its like saying the Lastest Slim PS3 Model number **** outplays/performs the First Ps3 Model ****

Let me tell you it doesnt , Both different model numbers one newer then the other. The same game looks exactly the same on both. Like I said the upgrade from R > Rs could of been in so many different variables.. Its funny how people say its newer it must be better quality.
[Galaxy S 4 General] AndreiLux:
Oh for ****s sake, the datasheets and specifications of the two sensors are publicly available.

Quit the senseless arguments and attempts to trying to justify your 9505. This topic is a matter of facts, and if anything, Samsung is under-utilizing the RS's features like RGBW encoding or HDR video.
