I switched from v28 to 38.0 last week and I'm loving it! I love that the Sammy stuff doesn't get installed at all (rather than deleting later). I can't see myself using another ROM because you give me exactly what I look for in a build - stock, speed-tweaked and bloat removal. Please keep it simple; that's what has made you so popular. If you want to get fancy then maybe offer a separate build. Thank you so much for all your amazing work!

You da man! Glad you havent forgotten about us GE guys during all the GF excitement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
thank u kind sir... GE isnt going any where no worries there.. as a matter of fact GE will be updated with new f/w when sammy drops the updates b4 GF, also im working on 38.2 as i type this ..

what i mean by cutting back is this, 38.2 was getting out of control .. so i scrapped it after i made GF, so i getting rid of one option and will concentrate on performance ..

which is what 38.2 will be all about :good:

care to elaborate on performance maintence. i would assume the kernel removal was due to some bug, not a big deal to post flash the kernel anyways.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
well, reason i removed kernel options was.. my attempt to avoid users having random reboots due to there custom kernel profiles .. talexop's kernel in my mind is sorta like a stock kernel with a security bypass.. this keeps newer users on a easy to manage kernel, this causes me less headaches and avoids users thinking theres something wrong with the rom, when in fact its the kernel there using doesnt like there device, version of bootloader or there kernel profile etc etc..

as far as performance goes, various tweaks were done, if thats not something that ur into u can skip the update, rom is running fast, i rather hear from u guys tho im biased
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] abachhan75:
great so far

Great work iB4STiD. Switched to GoldenEye after almost a year on stock. The first thing i notice is improved battery life while on 4G network. The ROM is smooth, and top notch performance. Only thing I miss from stock ROM is Samsung keyboard, on the original one all the symbols and punctuation marks where accessible by long pressing the qwerty keys. But that's just a minor issue. Overall, superb!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
thanks man!!... secondary keys in the samsung keyboard are there .. i enabled them .. anyways thanks for the feedback glad ur enjoying it :good:

SMemo faling to save

Just upgraded to 38.2 and SMemo says "Failed to Save" and of course it didn't save. Full Wipe, Clean install. ATT, MDL bootloaders and what ever the original modem is.

Any thoughts anyone?

On my previous release of GE SMemo didn't work either. Was hoping it would here. The first thing I tested!

Other than that, a wonderfully stress free install. Followed the detailed and definitive wipe instructions, the nice simple Aroma steps and viola, new ROM. Can't speak to battery life etc... but nice work Sir!

I would just delete the 2 apks and install the s5 smemo apk. Thats what I do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KMan94:
Thanks for the replies guys. I'm not a huge fan of editing build props but if I have to I will. A little more guidance in that area would help. Although poster noted what to change, I don't know what to change them to, where it is etc..

Where would one get the S5 Smemo apk's? This "seems" like the option of least resistance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] neoissa:
Wait buddy will guide you but you need build prop editor from play store and then do the following

Change the device name

From Jflteatt to jflte

And the Model# GT-I9505

Then restart

You will notice the data icon changed to h+ for 4g and 3g for 3g and E for 2G...

Just checking before I do something goofy...

So it looks to me like I can:

1. Run GE-SLIM-F4ST-ADV-KK-2.zip. This to remove the current SNote and all the other stuff I don't want.

2. "Drop" the apk I just copied from you into /system/priv-app/SMemo2.apk. I copied this out the the SLIMFAST zip... so the real directory would be system/priv-app.

3. I have FX editor with root access. Just copy the file and put it in there? I've never sideloaded before. How does the system recognize this as a app, with icon etc so it shows up in my apps folder. Newby questions I know but I'm on a mission now.

Thanks for your help.

Ok... so I did some googleing...

I've copied the newly downloaded file to to the downloads folder (clever I know)

Checked "Allow from unknown sources"

So as soon as I delete the old SMemo, (I'll use SLIM) I can install the new one.

Do this by using an appropriate file editor.

Locate the new apk

Open it and the editor should give me to opportunity to install it.

Just a note: I'm being a bit detailed because I'm assuming there are many that read this thread but really don't quite understand somethings. So I'm just walking through it for myself and others.

Also cause I don't want to screw up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Reinaldo33897:
No the snote needs the samsung account if you install with slim then you will have to create the elephant account. Forgot what that one is called.

Also you dont have to drop it anywhere just install like any other apk.

Just use the file manager that comes with rom head to folder where apk is tap on apk will ask to install click yes wala your done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KMan94:
That would be evernote. I never used either sharing service. I couldn't wait and did all the stuff anyway and it worked. Thank you for your help. Snote is not quite what Smemo was though. Is there Smemo for the S5 or did Sammy just drop it.

BTW... Snote is running fine!

And once again.. Thanks for your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Reinaldo33897:
I think sammy traded smemo for snote on the s5. But dont quote me there. lol

One more little question about 38.2 Can't set Ringtone

Okay... having fun after flashing and getting things set up. I can't set a custom ringtone. I go to Ringtones... Add... navigate to download where my mp3 ringtone is... tap it... and the phone goes back to ringtones without adding my custom ringtone.

I've tried it multiple times... long press... double press... but nada. I'd really really like to get my ringtone back. I know I'm missing something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
weird. mine works that way and its fine. you've had this custom ringtone work before flashing this ROM?? :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Solace50:
well im usually curious as to what tweaks are done as i could apply them myself if they really were noticable. you should at least include ktoonz kernel as on the ng8 firmware there is no signs of instablitiy after multiple months of usage. even on v20 for 3-5 months of usage i had maybe 1 reboot but i think that was due to some other reason. the only noticable difference on a custom kernel is while the phone is charging and the screen is dimed with an overlay popup you may get a small flickering effect which is barely noticable and rare.

No data connection

Hi all. I have an S4 ATT (NC1) and tried the Goldeneye rom. Everything works like like a charm except from the mobile data connection. When i switch on data never starts. After that if choose to make a dummy change in the network mode (just to change the selection and then the original one) data come to starts working. I dont know what the problem is but i gave a try to "o7th S5 Edition De-Odexed" and did not have that problem. I would like to use Goldeneye rom but cannot figure out whats wrong. Thanks

This ROM somehow is more battery friendly than GF.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] chowhoundb:
Grab the xposed module called AppSettings. It lets you set the DPI for each app.

So I run goldeneye at 360dpi, but touchwiz phone, contacts, and camera I run at the native 480. Makes for a great experience. So much more on screen space to view emails, lists, and the webz.

Give it a shot!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dsfletch:
Anyway you could make a quick flashable S5 lockscreen mod? I been making some of my own mods, but I'm an amateur and I'm not sure what files control that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] webbie2:
You should flash goldfinger. Runs amazing and it's stock s5 mods.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jt1998:
Just installed and it and wow. Thank you very much for the suggestion. I love the "room" on the screen. Works great like you said on email, also facebook, etc.

Is there a way to apply it to everything except app x, y, z, or do you have to do it individually?

:good::highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] chowhoundb:
Find a dpi setting you like for most apps (in my case 360) and set that in your build.props file using build props editor. Then anything that needs an exception set in AppSettings.

Hey iB, new version of Wanam is out. Time to update the rom. lol :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shindiggity:
How do u apply 360 , to entire Rom? All the apps r listed separate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] chowhoundb:
Grab this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor&hl=en

Then scroll down to ro.sf.lcd_density and change it from 480 to 360. Then reboot.

Just make sure you go into AppSettings and set the camera, contacts, and phone to 480. So they don't get distorted.

Then, enjoy your new found screen real estate. I can never go back to stock dpi after running like this. :cool:

The modules only affect wifi. It doesn't mess with cellular.

I know that you selected the right options in the aroma installer because selecting any other option besides ATT for safestrap would have sent you into endless bootanimation.

Not sure if you have resolved the issue, but I'd recommend re-downloading the ROM. If that doesn't fix it, ODIN back to stock and start over. I realize that other ROMs work without issue, but there is something funky going on and a fresh start may be all you need.

Hi. Problem still persists. I have tried hyperdrive rom and no problem at all. Mainly i have noticed that even in stock rom i have the same problem (phone has been unlocked and using with other sim). So guess the others roms that cellural is working have something different in their settings. Maybe is something with kernel, dont know. I have tried all the process more than 10 times and still stuck on that. Sad not able to use this great rom. Any help appreciated.

P.S. APNs are fine cause it would work at all otherwise
