I have installed this onto my GS4 and checked the following:

1) About - reports 4.3

2) About - version (tap loads of times) - easteregg shows 4.3

3) Hooked up to AndroidStudio - reports API 18 (4.2.2 was API 17)

I would say this is real OR a very elaborate attempt at fakery. I'm going to say legitimate.

Also - it works so well that I don't really care, unless there is some nasty code sending messages to far away countries.

Google play services (hangout / keep) working? It's broken on the other GE 4.2.2 roms
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] richbayliss:
Both seem to be working as expected...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kakyyabata:
there is any root for this rom ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] beaver2233:
more evidence to suggest it's not fake...

Not yet :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Faryaab:
For those who think this is fake, go to Settings > Apps > All. Now select any system app (for example: Calculator) and check its version. ;)

We don't FAKE stuff!

Bluetooth Smart

WOW!

Anyone with a bluetooth smart heart rate monitor (e.g. Polar H7) that can try to pair with 4.3?

- As far as I recall, bluetooth smart is one of the new features in 4.3
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nerotix:
[MENTION=1828342]Faryaab[/MENTION] anything on how to root it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Schnedi:
one question.

i can access to my music with google play music icon, but there's not a "normal" music icon?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] richbayliss:
This is the stock Android experience from Google - my Nexus 7 lacks this also. This isn't something Google provide anymore.

Connect the device to AndroidStudio and check the API. :p

oh, ok, thanks for the reply :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] etjazz:
Are you using the HxM™ BT or the HxM™ Smart?

HxM BT is a normal bluetooth monitor, and those have "always" worked. New to 4.3 is the bluetooth smart framework needed for bluetooth smart accessories...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] OnlinePredator:
This rom is really quick! I was disappointed by the 4.2.2 GE roms as they didn't feel that quick, this one is loads quicker than stock Samsung and the 4.2.2 GE.

Google and Samsung should really use a 5x4 homescreen layout because 4x4 is too small for 5 inch 1080p phones. And the digital clock widget isnt scaling right on the homescreen and as a lockscreen widget. I really hope they change the button mapping because the homebutton delay really sucks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] CyberT3:
Yes it's normal. Charging via usb should be about 4x times slower beacuse pc usb port outputs 0.5A max and charger outputs 2A

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Schnedi:
it's awesome!!

it's a shame we lose the samsung camera tho.

and my battery is draining sooo fast.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MaKTaiL:
Can someone confirm this?

Also, can I flash SuperSU zip to root it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Batterly drain is mainly terrible when you're booting all the time. let it loop in a bootloop for 10 min and you lose 20% battery, also it gets very hot. Avoid long boot sequences for your batteries sake. boot sequence is a real power consumer, some kernels even have max cpu speed at boot which drains even more

The 4.3 firmware is a nice test version but not ready for daily use. which speaks for itself since its just a leaked (probably unfinished) build.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] R.Suave:
The same question has been asked on every page. READ THE THREAD!

For people needing the ROM I put the deodexed version here www.livewinter.com/mirror
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Schnedi:
maybe it needs some time to "sit".

look at my battery usage. 50% in less than 3 hours!!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kivanov:
Charge it to 100% then wipe battery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] broodplank1337:
doesn't change anything, wiping battery stats is fake btw, its only for emulators.. said an android employee

It just drains as hell this 4.3.. that's not avoidable.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Warmax88:
Also experiencing huge battery drain, 40% in 4h without much use...

If it wasn't for this the ROM is perfect.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kivanov:
Battery wipe helps a lot in similar cases with ZTE Blade (2.2) & LG O2X (2.3.4). But may be it is placebo.:cyclops:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Yes it sure is, and it always has been, although thousands of people swear to death that its not fake. it just is.. I never thought it made sense since the battery percentage doesn't reset when deleting it at any time :silly:

There are really a humongous amount of commands/tweaks/build.prop lines that all have no effect whatsoever.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] idriline:
Personally i 'm using a smal app find on google play called Batery calibration

Required to had a rooted phone

plug the phone to AC power wait until 100 % of charging clik on calibrate and remove the cable

I'm using it after eatch rom installation or after a few day used any roms... and basically i"ve seen a different before and after and it's count an hours.

with this app , the file batery stat is deleted an a new one is created it's avoid to keep a file corrupted about batery .

Also it's possible than this rom drain batery cauz i don"t try it again (download is pending) This rom was coming from Oem partner, they already had the stable version because they jeust need create the UI oem on the top of the rom ... basically if the rom drain batery this issue would be solve during the developement...

those kind of issue exist also and may due to the Radio used with the rom ...

i hope this can be helpfull ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kivanov:
I've used exactly that app ;) App works as Wipe Battery in CWM
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] adancau:
Culprit seems to be Android System, as seen in the previous screenshot.

It lists a lot of included packages, as compared to my Nexus 4.

On the Nexus 4 I have:

- Android System

- Settings Storage

- Settings

- Key Chain

- Input Devices

- Google Backup Transport

On the GS4 there are lots:

- Google Backup Transport

- FactoryKeystring

- Android System

- Key Chain

- UltraCfg

- Factory Test

- Service mode

- BluetoothTest

- Wfd Service

- Settings storage

- Settings

- Input Devices

- WlanTest

- Fused Location

- com.sec.bcservice

- FactoryKeystring

Some of those look a lot like debugging tools or such (makes sense since this is most likely a test rom leak). I'll try to see if I can disable some processes there and find the culprit.

Looking at ALL apps in Apps, there are some strange things there (that don't correspond to anything on the Nexus 4):

- Automation Test (can be stopped but not disabled, and it has pretty much all the permissions Android has)

- BluetoothTest (can also be stopped but not disabled)

- Factory Mode

- Factory Test

- FactoryKeystring (x 2)

- GlanceViewMk

and some others.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] RenoXDA:
So what we have to wait?

Optimization? By Google? 4.3.1? hmmmm..... strange
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] adancau:
It's most likely a leaked firmware with testing tools running and providing debug info.

At the moment I've re-flashed the rom after formatting system, but I've removed a couple of files from it, let's see how we do now.

I've removed the following files from /system/app - AutomationTest_FB.apk, BluetoothTest.apk, FactoryKeystring_FB.apk, FactoryTest_FB.apk.

Let's see if there's any improvement.

Everything works and it is the fastest rom out there! Only problem is with battery drain! I just need to delete some test apks etc from system, because they are draining my battery, BECAUSE THIS IS A TEST FIRMWARE ONLY FOR DEVELOPERS!!!:laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] brando56894:
I found to (not very useful) added features that apparently everyone missed: In dev settings there are now options for use experimental web view, debug non-rectangular clip operations and revoke usb debugging authorizations :)

Bluetooth Low Energy

Can anyone confirm that Bluetooth Low Energy is working? Will it find and pair with low energy devices? I have a Verizon GS4, otherwise I would try myself.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Edu616:
I dont know if it had happened to someone else but i powered off my phone after the installation and after i played a little bit with the rom !! Then when i turned on again it is now stock in boot in the galaxy s4 logo!!! Someone cam help??

Edit: so i turned off by pressing the off button again and turned it back on and it started normally i guess is just a bug!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Chainfire:
It's not a bug in CPU-Z, on previous firmwares the SGS4 hardly ever runs at full speed, at least not in my tests ...

It is far from the same, the 4.2.2 GE , had lots of TW framework and such still involved, it had the TW dialer and a few other things ..

No Root as of yet, but it is smokin' fast ....

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Hunteres:
i think 4.3 has some parts from TW inbuild, as some of the features on SG4 are based on it. correct me if i am wrong.
[Asus Transformer TF700] noahvt:
Hello,

Is there ANY store in Belgium that still sells the tf700t.

almost every store said that it wouldn't be shipped to them anymore :(

thanks,

noahvt
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Conrad.be still has it in stock, but only the tab. Though most stores still sell the Prime dock, though. And you can use that (in fact, in Europe they ship the TF700 with the Prime dock by default; and it has a bigger battery.)
[Asus Transformer TF700] noahvt:
Thanks, any other stores?

EDIT: nevermind i am going for a tf300t
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Don't know, I'm from the Netherlands :p

Well, if it's not urgent, you could also wait for August? There's a new Infinity coming out, so.. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] noahvt:
the tf300t is a little more in my price range so yeah...

i also saw that there where more ROMS available for the 300 like pac man rom

anyways: thanks for your help

noahvt
[Asus Transformer TF700] adelancker:
You don't need many ROMs, you just need one good ROM and we have just that right here for the tf700.

I'm from Belgium too and I believe that you should follow the advice of the person above. The TF201 dock is better and cheaper, and you can still buy the tf700 tablet pretty much on every dutch website (and they usually ship to Belgium for free).

Hope this helped :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] noahvt:
Nah i'll be going for a 300 becaus of the price!

But: anyways thank you for helping out :)

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Eason85:
Want a better battery but not the giant mugen power one? I noticed that the Xperia S BA 800 battery has the same specifications except it's 1900maH instead of the V's 1750maH. See here: http://www.tvc-mall.com/details/Son...eplacement-1900mAh-Model-BA800-BATY-LT26i-01/

Just got mine today and it's been working well so far, will update in case it blows up.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bhz21:
Nice!

If you could, please, make a small review later, about the longevity, charging time, etc, it would be great! :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Eason85:
Sure no prob! However, it will take several days of overcharing and draining to figure out the actual capacity. On my first discharge now, at 90% with 32 minutes screen time @ 60% brightness.

edit: hit 1 hour screen time with 81% remaining. I am just texting/web surfing.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Eason85:
****ing thing just turned off at 30% :/

hope it can be calibrated
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tobsnyder:
It won't get any better, thats for sure. Just check this post (it's in german only):

http://www.android-hilfe.de/sony-xp...ead-fuer-das-sony-xperia-v-4.html#post5645646

There you can see the same battery and some charts. Just what I read there:

Assuming the original Sony BA800 has true 1700mAh this one has only about 1400mAh (based on runtime comparison).

This battery goes from 20% => Off always and therefore is not reliable.

This battery has a faked CE logo so it must not be selled in Europe (officially)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Eason85:
Runtime is basically the same for me- about 3 hours screen time and then it shuts off weather it's the chinese fake or the sony original
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SammiSaysHello:
batteries that claim to have more capacity than the original usually don't turn out to be, especially ones from ebay. Nevertheless, if they're cheap, there's no harm in having extra backup :)

I'm in the same situation as the thread creator. I want a bigger battery, but not to big. Suggestions? :)

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] iHeymanth:
i got mine too from ebay. took 1 month to deliver to India from hong kong. working good and it didnt turned off in the middle. tested successfully till it switches off. i didnt noticed the extra 200 mAh power than the 1700 mAh battery. i should say the original one is slightly better but even though i can admit i got two 1700 mAh batteries :D

If you did get a low cost battery from China which has similar to OEM capacity call yourself lucky.
[HTC One X] cuzzo94:
Hi, is it possible to go back to ics using the riginal RUU?

i'd like to try because my battery is getting always worse, also after an hard reset (i'm talking about an htc one x LOCKED with stock JB)
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
If you have updated to jellybean... Then there's no way to get back to ICS... You will need to unlock your bootloader and then flash a custom ics rom.. However, touch problems might occur because of the updated touch drivers in jb firmware..

-Sent from my IceCold One X!
[HTC One X] cuzzo94:
touch? I was talking about battery XD
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
We know you are talking about battery but the touchpanel drivers are updated with JB so you can install a custom ICS rom but the touchscreen will not work so you can not use the phone !

And ics ruu will not work because we do not have S-OFF ! So you are stuck on JB
[HTC One X] cuzzo94:
ah ok thank you :)
