I was able to install and use it without any modifications however as Mr. V suggested you can modify build.prop and check if you get it work. All the best.

**VirginROM v2.4.2 Google Play Edition (Android 4.3)**
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:

Hi mrvirginia

Do I flash the AT&T csc? My phone is an i9505 international version to get the watchon to work? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
just sideload it from the link. flashing any of the CSC stuff is just for signal/apns. are you using an international i9505 on T-Mob or another carrier?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
woops. completely missed this question. it has support for exFat. so yes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Allan4kiting:
I am using a gt-i9505. Sorry but I am a noob when it comes to this. I don't understand what you mean by side load
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
sideload means just download the app from the link. when it finishes, click on it in your statusbar to install. that's called sideloading - downloading an app from an external source, such as the web, and installing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Allan4kiting:
Thank you. Learnt something new. If I am i9505 which is best to install.

Forgot to mention I am in New Zealand not the US. I presume att is the one I flash, correct me if I am wrong. Cheers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
no, flash Stock GPE CSC. that will give you the better reception out of the 3 there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Allan4kiting:
Hi virginia

Sorry for being a pain in the...

But that didn't work. The file was a zip file so I flashed it in cwm and rebooted still says in playstore device not compatible. So I cleared data in playstore, uninstalled through titanium and still same. It doesn't really bother me as I have your latest apk.

Oh do you by any chance happen to have the numerical percentage battery mod only. Thanks for your speedy responses and help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i'll try to be a bit clearer...

the apk that was posted is WatchOn. you don't need to visit the Play Store to obtain it. sideload it, that's all you have to do and it's installed.

the Stock GPE CSC is just for better signal quality due to where you're located.

i can see about making you a separate zip for the battery mod
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dvgrhl:
I can't say enough that this gave me everything that I had been missing from the GPE ROMs. Thanks for sharing, I've had zero issues and it feels like it's built into the ROM.

[MENTION=2880996]laureanop[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2538941]dvgrhl[/MENTION] GravityBox killed bluetooth streaming from Spotify on my device to my receiver in my car so i had to uninstall it

[MENTION=516524]Allan4kiting[/MENTION] i made the mod you asked for. it's going to look weird, though, with the clock still being on the right next to it. that's why i removed the clock from the status bar in the one i personally run. let me know if you still want it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Allan4kiting:
Hi virginia

I know it looks weird but I love being able clearly see the battery percentage. I do need the time up as well. I tried to flash some mods but they didn't work. If you have a zip file I would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
here you go mate, attached. just flash in recovery. no need to wipe or anything.

Anyone wise having trouble updating SwiftKey? The version from a few days ago fake to download from the market.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbdan:
No problem at all and it's not a deal breaker by any means. Just was curious take your time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pinan:
Odd. Mine is centered perfectly.?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbdan:
Odd indeed. You're the first I've heard. Using a dpi mod maybe?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pinan:
At the moment I'm running Infamous GE, with 360dpi (stock), but had no problem with it on Virgin either. I've been surprised to see other users complaint about it.

A thought: I use Nova launcher, with only one Home Screen. Maybe having only one makes a difference?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
it's an issue across all GE ROMs, including the Infamous one. just got home so going to poke around now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
donations

wanted to say thanks again for the donations. not only is it surprising but it's also very generous and more appreciated than i can express via words. money is tight right now so it means a great deal to me. thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
alright, pretty sure i've found the lock ring fix. i have to compile and test, then rebuild v1.3. sooo update later tonight :)

edit: didn't work :(

i'll try a few more things...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pinan:
I've heard. But mine is centered. I simply wondered if it was my settings. I'm at a PC right now, but I'll post a SS later. It's not like it's something I'd be dishonest about, LOL. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
oh yeah, wouldn't think you were being dishonest or anything. maybe you can't tell is my best guess. i didn't realize until jbdan pointed it out. users have reported it being this way in Jamison's thread i've read. i found the CM merge for it and changing it still does nothing to fix it. i think something else is going on with this. won't be pushing it out with tonight's update but i will continue looking into it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
07.09.13

-SuperSU updated

-AOSP Browser updates

-moar kernel updates

going to try to get to merges this week for some new things, as well as fix lock ring :)

until next time

edit: Kernel updates were as follows

Updated Linux kernel to latest 3.4.52

Disable Gentle Fair Sleepers (Thanks [MENTION=4354408]broodplank1337[/MENTION])

Disable rooting restrictions (Just in case. Forgot it before..)

Disable all debuggers (Seems unneeded and by disabling those gives better battery life)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pinan:
Here you go. If someone could set their screen as I posted above it might answer the question.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbdan:
Thanks for the update! Dirty flash over 1.2 okay?

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

Set their screen as you posted above where?

Yours is centered but your dpi looks different than stock, the way this rom comes out of the box. That or some nottach setting possibly
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
your dpi is set to 360, that's why

dirty flash is a-okay. cache and dalvik wipe most definitely
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pinan:
I posted that a few posts back, though I just realized I wrote 320. Sigh

Funny though that I have seen users of the same ROM having this centering issue. I will try 480 and see what happens.

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------

I posted that I had a single Home screen, using Nova. Just grasping at straws.

Yeah. My DPI is 360.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] norml:
Sometimes it's the little things, things you don't really think about, that can make ur day, like the T9 Dialer , especially when one is so accustomed to it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbdan:
Tried the 1 screen I use nova too no go but thanks for the input :thumbup:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
if you use this to change your DPI to 360, the lock ring will be centered. everything will be rather tiny, though

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS50ZXhkcm9pZGVyLnRleGRyb2lkZXJfZHBpIl0.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbdan:
Yes tiny hah. These old eyes can't take it! :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
ditto. i'll see if i can re-code it at standard DPI.

edit: also, there's a problem with the V4 Kernel. if you do a reboot, it will just shut your device down instead of restarting it. fix is to flash back to ausdim's V3 Kernel. looks like that will be the end of the road for Kernel updates unless he's able to address this issue. i'll be rolling back to V3 with the next update, in the meantime.

Thanks for your hard work mrvirginia, I've tried several GE and AOSP ROMs and this one has become my daily. Much appreciated!!

So... I'm a bit confused...

I just saw this news:

http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s4-lte-gt-i9505-android-4-3-update-284450/

What's the big fuss about that? And why just now is that in the news? Aren't we running that ALREADY with Virgin ROM? o_O
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pham0100:
This ROM is based off the Google Play Edition (GPE) version. The news you are seeing is the Samsung TouchWiz 4.3 update. It has only been 4.2.2 up until now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
Finally figured out my battery consumption in Wicked vs Virgin. With exactly the same set up and apps on both, Google Services battery usage was way higher on Virgin ( 15-25 % vs 0.5 % in a normal usage day). After doing some research, I turned off the WiFi and network option in the picture below ( which only affects Google now, which I don't use), leaving just the GPS to find my location. Now my Google services battery usage dropped to 0.3 % and while sleeping the phone uses about 0.4 % battery an hour.

Basically that was the only difference between TW and GE.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dtokarz:
Good find. I have this checked but I am turning it off now to see if there is any improvement. Battery life was already good but it doesn't hurt to try and make it better. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Question - If I do the same will the apps such as weather (which needs location data to show correct weather information) be able to give correct information based on location specially when you are indoor and do not get GPS lock?

I also do not use the location services much (except for the weather widget), but just throwing a question in there. Allegedly Android 4.4 has some power saving mode for location services, so looking forward to that :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pinan:
Yup. This is well documented, and the first thing I turn off when trying a new ROM. You don't need GPS on either. Turn it on when you require it. It all helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
So far haven't had any issues with any apps that require location. I use Chronus with weather updates every hour

---------- Post added at 03:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 AM ----------

It's only an hour ten of screen time, but this is excellent for me after turning off Wi-Fi location

Sorry for being a noob . But i flashed this rom and it is nice. But is this rom the stock 4.3 from the nexus 4 or galaxy s4 google edition ?? Sorry again.

Is there a way to turn off the soft keys lights? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] byron1985:
Its based off Google play edition. In the themes and apps section of tmo gs4 there is an apk you can download to turn off button lights or you can install exposed framework and install gravitybox and it has the option plus many other customization in it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
It is GE based. It's supposed to be AOSP with touchwiz frame work and kernel, like a hybrid. If you ask me, I fail to see the TW framework, I think of it as AOSP with a touchwiz kernel.

At any rate, it's the fastest, most stable AOSP ish rom for this phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] H3adru5H:
Is any one using a volume skip mod? If so can you share it with me? I'm using exposed framework and tweakbox and while it used to work just fine now it only works for awhile then stops and I can't get it working again unless I reflash the ROM. So annoying.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] oquinones:
I use Gravitybox xposed module with the volume skip enabled no problem.

Had a couple questions about ROM. So far it awesome but I'm having problems watching purchased movies on Google play movies app. It will play a couple of seconds then freeze on phone. If I stream from you phone to chromecast it will play. Only happens if I try to watch on phone. Last question us there a way to remove browser app I really don't need flash support and I'm fine using chrome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LoopDoGG79:
You can use Titanium to freeze or remove the browser app. Though, i dont see a need for this, Just install Chrome and make it default for all your browsing needs.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
can't even begin to tell you what's going on with the Google Video app. i don't use it and never have. maybe try clearing data by going to manage apps, then scroll over to downloaded. find it and clear data. if that doesn't work, i'm not sure mate. i would contact google about this issue honestly. it's their app.

since this morning i've been running this one as well. so far so good.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
Does anybody have a solution for the extremely low quality of outgoing mms.? The compression is absolutely horrendous and pictures of text are unreadable. I searched everywhere but came up empty

Maybe it has something to do with these settings I use for mms with 8sms
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
I've been messing with this a bit while making a TW mj5 4.3 base and think I may have removed the limit. I won't have time to update until wednesday unfortunately
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
Upon further research, a fellow s4 contributor to the forums said that the reason why the mms quality is so bad ( out bound only) is because T-Mobile reads the phone as a gt-i9505g assuming it's not one of its phones , then defaulting to the lowest possible mms quality. He advised to use a third party mms app like go sms and spoofing the mms user agent. I tried this and indeed it worked(spoofed as Android or iPhone) and the quality of the mms did go from 30k to anywhere between 200 and 600kb). Changing the mms size limit to 1mb also improves quality a lot.

But these third party apps are very resource intensive (between 80 and 130 mb of ram) and let's face it nowhere near as simple and speedy as stock or 8sms which I have gotten accustomed to.

If anybody can find a way to increase the quality of mms without resorting to third party apps it would be terrific.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LoopDoGG79:
Have you tried changing your build.prop to read SGH-M919?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
Yeah it doesn't work. The mms maximum size has to be changed as well
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LoopDoGG79:
I'm not sure about your friends theory. You mean if I were to buy an unlocked I9505 and were a T-Mobile customer, I'll be screwed? I thought T-Mobile "welcomed" new customers that bring there own phone?

Has anybody on TW I9505 ROMs reported the same issue?

Sent from my 2nd gen Nexus 7
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
Yeah I see your point. This guy is a recognized s4 contributor.

It looks like it has to do more with raising the size limit. But on handcent, and go sms, spoofing the user agent works without touching this limit
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] therourke:
I have still not been able to get a faux kernel to work. I have an international gt-i9505. I installed the TW KToonsez kernel, which worked fine, but I was getting a lot of battery drain. I would still like to try faux 012 but always get boot loops.

Advice much appreciated! Especially if you can link me to the exact one I need.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i bet you are flashing the jfltetmo one, or possibly something else. his thread isn't all that clear unless you search/read.

the one you need is here, as 012m http://faux.androidro.ms/jgedlte/jb43/

TW Kernels are not exactly the same as the Google Play Edition ones. they are both TW Kernels, but they still differ. some of the Kernel devs merge the two, i believe, where as others keep some things separate. for example, i flashed ausdim's 4.3 TW Kernel that's meant for TW MJ5 on my own VirginROM and there were issues...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] therourke:
Yes! That did it. Thank you. Looking forward to seeing how this holds up. Is FauxClock the only choice for tweaking? It's expensive
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
if you're going to be tweaking, you need to download the 012u version. 012m is a mainline and thus i do not believe allows adjusting.

as for your question, TricksterMod might work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] therourke:
Just tried u version and got boot loops. Tried again and phone wouldn't load past logo. Went back to m and everything OK again. Think I am going to stick with this for now. Thanks again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
Probably because u defaults to 2.1 cpu speed and your phone is having issues handling it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yep what he said
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] norml:
If it ain't broke... you know the rest. :)

Mine as well rename this rom to "100% Satisfaction Guaranteed". Hands down the best GE rom out in my book, bloat free too!. Unlike Eazy, you can quote me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] raulg15:
Yes it is. I have been flashing all these TW roms and other 4.3 CM roms which are really good but this is definitely the fastest smoothest rom there is. And with Exposed and Gravity it is also customizable.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i wanna say someone mentioned gravitybox has this option as well. maybe try that instead.

And today, Motorola officially released their Camera app to the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.camera

Since I've been using the Moto X camera I downloaded from the Apps section of this forum, I would like to upgrade to the official APK of this camera, but it says I cannot do that because my device is not compatible. :(

Google sees my phone as a GT-I9505G. Previously, it saw it as the SGH-M919 and I had no issues downloading apps then.
