ROM update?

I love this ROM, everything just works.

However, the only problem I might have with is the way it's getting updated.

I was running "4.3 Final" and when I updated to "4.3 Finaly" which is a minor update I still had to do factory reset (format data/cache/system/dalvik). When I updated without doing steps described above, I had problems such as: once I went into flight mode, there was no way to turn it off.

So is there any way to update this ROM without having to format data/cache/system/dalvik?

Some reason this did not work for me.

i downloaded from the docs.google mirror.

when i went to install it failed to find checksum and would not boot (then had to install twrp to copy the backup from external sd and install cwm again to restore as the external sd suddenly failed to be reconised)

is the file size correct at 386mb?

Hello,

I own a Galaxy s4 i9505. it was running samsung rom, version 4.2.2 XXUBMGA.

I rooted it, and installed clokworkmod 6.0.3.2, non touch.

I checked on my phone if root was working properly.

now, I tried this rom, and also this [ROM] Google Edition Android 4.3 | UNTOUCHED | JWR66V.S014 | VERSION 3.0 (08/08).

I wipe and data factory reset, for both of them.

I am always blocked in the animated google logo.

I also tried to install the rom, and wipe cache and dalvik cache after that, without any success.

may be this rom is not working when you come from samsung rom ?

what can I do now ?

thank you

Olivier

that's game problem with android 4.3. nothing to do with this rom in particular. so blame game developers not jamal.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] E_Cartman:
There were some deeper changes that required you to do a data/factory reset. There is no way to update an older version without wiping. But look on the bright side: once you are on the latest version, there will be no more wiping because there will be no more updates :cool:

GE camera is missing a lot of features (first of all saving pictures to extSD). And no, there is no slowmotion or hyperspeed recording.

A lot of people don't wait long enough during the first reboot. Wait at least 3 minutes during the initial startup.

Besides that you may try Philz Touch and do a "install new rom" wipe (also formats /system).

To be honest, I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure I simply flashed MGA broadband and it seems to have worked flawlessly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] orobin:
Hi,

I installed the latest (I think it is the latest) philz recovery, with touch feature.

I tried again.

I used the option : clean to install a new rom, instead to use Factory reset...

I installed the rom

wipe cache

wipe dalvik cache

format /system

reboot

and this time it works. :)

I had to wait only one minute, not more.

thanks

amazing battery life :)

wifi/H+ on all the time
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] aka_gk:
This ROM is excellent! One problem - everytime I reboot, I get stuck on samsung logo forever, only wipe and flash helps to boot again.

I use cf auto root, TWRP. Routine is as follows - boot into recovery, factory reset, format data, reboot into recovery, flash ROM, wipe Dalvik/Cache, boot into system. Then if I need to reboot I get stuck on the samsung logo.

Any ideas what might be wrong?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jamal2367:
Flash Philz Touch Recovery and flash the rom .... :) i hope its help :)

Hello friends, I would ask if it is possible to change the button to hang up the headphones because it mutes the sound instead of a hook?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TheWizardbc:
You can't calculate it. You have to click on screen to see the time. It's closer to 4/5 hours.

Hello

I don't know why, but everytime I flash this ROM, my S4 stays stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505" screen...

I tried with CWM and TWRP recovery and it's the same. I wiped thousand times cache and data and nothing happened...

Someone got an idea ? :D

Why? I had all on, i used google now for every call. It's way better than stock 4.2.2 tw for me. I received a lot of email and i edited many excels. I did not use it for surfing the web. On stock rom i was getting 1:30 hours of screen time with my habit of usage
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] leop93:
Thank you. :highfive:

Is there any mod to increase volume in calls and other places? Like "extra volume gain in calls" on CM roms or TW roms. The volume on max is kinda low.

"Unlock simcard" menu entry under power menu?

Is there any way to remove "Unlock simcard" entry under the power menu?

It's really bothering me, as I'm also unaware of its function, and according to this thread I'm not the only one with this opinion.

One question: it works S View (cover) with this rom ? Thanks !!

Yes it works great

whats the best way to root this rom, can i flash a custom kernel in odin?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Glotttis:
it's already pre-rooted. you do not need to do anything.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] zummer22:
Umm, mine wasnt rooted. Superuser is installed by default but it doesnt have root access. I had to flash this http://download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip to get mine rooted. It's a fix for android 4.3

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've been on the forum. Currently using a T-Mobile S4, rooted on stock at the moment. Downloaded the I9505 Google Play 4.3 Rom, and while I liked it, there's no Wifi Calling and root is gone (obviously).

Is there anyway to get Wifi Calling on the Rom? Or is it because of the firmware itself?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] zummer22:
For root flash this in recovery http://download.chainfire.eu/345/Sup...erSU-v1.51.zip

What do you mean with wifi calling?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jmaddox31:
The T-Mobile S4 comes with a Wifi Calling app built in. When I flashed the Google Play Rom its gone. Apparently not included. As far as I can tell, only certain Roms include it. Google Play 4.3 isn't one of them. Bummer.

As far as the 4.3 root is concerned, I flashed that .zip afterwards and my root was gone. I restored my original backup with root and its working fine. Wifi Calling is a necessity because I live in a low coverage area. Until I can find a Rom that's closer to AOSP and includes Wifi Calling, I'll stay stock.
