How should this work without faux mod? I think he fixed the kernel to work with the different bootloader and radio of i9505...

Is faux already working on a mod for New kernel?

Uploading to Mega. 17 minutes remaining. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MaKTaiL:
Here it is! Remember: This is a test firmware. It is not rooted either as expected from an untouched rom :p.

I recommend making a backup of your current ROM first and flash this after a full factory reset.

Things I need you guys to test:

- Check if Security Settings are working;

- Check if your External SD Card is read/write (meaning: if it allows saving/deleting files);

- Everything else you usually work with (apps, settings, etc).

Give me feedback as soon as you can ;)

EDIT

Removed download link. Already got the feedback I needed. I'll upload a second test version in a few minutes.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mr_blanket:
Alrighty... who's gonna be first ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] johannes140:
Ok, first feedback:

- Selecting Security in Settings force-closes Settings

- Touch to focus bug in Scene-modes or HDR-mode of camera still present.

- Reading files from External SD Card works fine, writing to external SD Card fails.

Hope this helps, looking forward to your fixes!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MaKTaiL:
Ok, that's all I needed to know. It seems we still need Faux kernel to make things work.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll make a test version 2 in a few minutes ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Brotuck:
Thank you for the hard work. Looking forward to the latest edition.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] edwardtobia:
Me too :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MaKTaiL:
Here is the Test Version 2. Everything should be working just like the previous final 3.0.

If everything goes right I'll rename the zip and re-upload it as the final version for everyone.

So there is no need to download it again if you already have Test 2. ;)

I would also like to note that I'll be reseting version number to 1.0 since this is now based on a new build, JWR66Y.S003.

All previous versions will be moved to the second post as always ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MaKTaiL:
Maybe he will, maybe he won't. For now I'll use the old kernel.

If Faux releases a fix for the new one I'll update my rom as soon as possible. ;)

EDIT

I sent him a PM asking if he can fix the new kernel. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] johannes140:
"Test 2" seems to work just fine! Thanks :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nookcoloruser:
So what did the update actually change / fix ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] peeweegary:
Thanks MakTaiL for pushing out an update so quickly. Has anyone tried the ROM with TW ktoonsez kernel? Im barely pushing 15 hours screen time and 2 hours of screen time with stock kernel (faux123). How was the battery with KT's kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dboechat:
When starting the camera for the first time after the update I got a "updating camera firmware, please wait" message! :what:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nookcoloruser:
Good stuff, can you test if HDR touch to focus is fixed, and if we finally get the option to save photos to SD-Card.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MaKTaiL:
Thank you for spending the time to provide feedback. I'm currently uploading the rom as final and I will soon update the first post with it.

You don't need to download it again since I just renamed the zip and the updater-script. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] johannes140:
Sadly this bug has not been fixed. Happens with HDR mode or any other scene mode enabled and also happens with "Camera JB+" app...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nookcoloruser:
Damn, so what exactly did they "fix" I wonder ? Might hold off updating to newest version if this is fixed as its my only issue with the current ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] johannes140:
Apparently they made some security fixes on jwr66y, that's at least what the changelog for all nexus devices says. the ota-update for galaxy s4 and htc one were significally larger, though (approx. 16mb compared to 1.5mb for the nexus devices), so it seems there are more changes "under the hood". i don't know what these are, though ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MaKTaiL:
Updated first post with new rom. Enjoy!

Thanks for everyone that helped out with testing. :)

If Faux makes a fix for the new kernel I'll update the rom as soon as possible. I already contacted him.

It shouldn't change much from the old kernel, but having the newest is always better right? :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hailmary:
Hi maktail...can u make a separate dload link other than mega pls.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
Waiting faux123 to make newest official kernel.:good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] slg60:
Should be possible to flash this rom directly over the old one, or?

And is sim unlock issue fixed?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Glotttis:
thanks for quick update, good job. i'll wait for update with new kernel, hope it doesn't take very long. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] slg60:
Interesting, Our new Update seems to make a camera firmware update.

Just flashed and started camera and the cam made firmware update...

By the way, thanks maktail for the fast update, just waiting for new kernel, this rom is so perfect, makes s4 best phone ever...

Specifically, the security fixes are patching the pseudo-random number generator in Android that was very predictable before. If you've ever generated RSA keys with an unpatched device, regenerate them with a patched one. Do the same if you have a bitcoin wallet and the keys were generated on Android.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] freeman_g:
Do I need to wipe the data in case of upgrade from Untouched 3.0?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MaKTaiL:
No need. Just flash it on top ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MaKTaiL:
I actually dont know if SIM Unlock is fixed since I dont use it here.

My bets are that the problem still exists but you are welcome to try it and give me feedback.

And yes, you can flash on top of the old one. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rdbhalla:
Thanks for the quick update. Can anyone please provide an alternate download link? Mega is just too slow - will take almost 24 hours to download. Thanks a ton!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MJD:
I too would like an alternative download source. The Mega link is just not downloading at all for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hailmary:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] starkilling:
Why do we need faux kernel again? Doesn't the stock kernel work?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chocodough:
What I don't understand is why doesn't the stock kernel work right?

When I was using a GE 4.2.2 build I was using the stock GE Kernel and it worked just fine.

Maybe you got a bad system dump. I couldn't imagine Google completely screwing up the kernel on an actual release version.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MaKTaiL:
It simply doesn't work, my system dump is perfect. The same problems from last version appear on the new one with their respective kernels.

The Faux's kernel I have is still stock, but with some minor fixes for those little problems. The only problem is that the kernel is based on the old one as of now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] starkilling:
Can't we just merge the fixes and compile it ourselves? Any idea what fixes are needed?

The kernel source is available here.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MaKTaiL:
I have no idea what Faux has fixed in the kernel. :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Brotuck:
I know it isnt near stock, but ChronicKernel has excellent batterylife and performance.

And i did not do any changes to the kernel, just flashed it and happy :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Planet X:
It works great indeed. Even on Google Edition.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TheWizardbc:
You could try romhut.com, multiple servers (EU and US), free and you have download stats.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] slg60:
As far as I know the kernel was modded by faux because GE has different bootloader and radio and especially the radio of i9505 doesn't work together with this kernel.... This was the explanation I've read somewhere...

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nookcoloruser:
So those that have flashed and had the camera software pop up saying its updating firmware, did it fix touch to focus on HDR mode ?

Some folks on Jamal's thread are saying it did, I prefer this ROM but really want that camera fix.

Thanks for any insight you can provide....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] johannes140:
It is not fixed on Jamal's rom as well. Whoever said "camera works fine" probably just tried to take a picture and maybe touch-to-focus without changing to HDR or a different scene mode first... Jamal's rom has the same changes as this rom does.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Planet X:
The camera firmware update has fixed HDR for me too. That was the first thing I have tried after the firmware update. Finally a good HDR photo in-house. Not dark as it has been before.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] starkilling:
I can confirm it doesn't fix touch to focus in HDR.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nookcoloruser:
Thanks ... Hey ho.

So many contrary reports ???

---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

See...

Really confusing.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] starkilling:
Man, I don't know what that other guy is saying, but I flashed the latest GE build with ChronicKernel, when I started the camera it did a "firmware update" for about a minute and then it started. I put it in HDR mode, touched on the screen, the circle appeared but it did not focus.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] johannes140:
By "fixed" he means the COLORS are better, not as dark. I bet he did not try to touch-focus...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Brotuck:
To make it more confusing. Touch to focus works fine. It already did on the previous version and still works fine. Yes i did enable HDR.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] johannes140:
O.o now i'm out of ideas. Does the focus-animation work on both HDR and scene modes the same as it does with no scene mode or HDR disabled? does it actually focus to where you touch?

which rom did you have installed before you flashed the google edition?

thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rob151515:
Does anyone know how to disable the annoying ota update notification without flashing a new version of the rom? I'm happy with everything and don't want to set everything up again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nookcoloruser:
Tis a strange one.

Is there a correlation between recovery method when flashing ? What did you use. I have always used Philz and yeah HDR touch to focus never worked for me on 4.3.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Brotuck:
I use CWM because phils had issues with 4.3 on aosp roms.

Previously i used the ROM from janjan
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] johannes140:
I always use CWM and no touch-to-focus on HDR or scene mode. I will flash the same kernel that Brotuck is using to see if this makes any difference, even though i highly doubt it...

---------- Post added at 12:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------

Brotuck, what was the last stock-rom you had running? Maybe there was another firmware-update to the camera?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nookcoloruser:
Go into app management and go to all apps and Google framework services. Disable notifications.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Brotuck:
That was I9505XXUBMGA_I9505PHNBMG4_I9505XXUBMGA_HOME.tar.md5
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] johannes140:
Thanks for getting back to me. I still have the touch-to-focus-bug, even with Chronic kernel.

Are you certain it is really focusing? The circle pops up on mine when i touch in HDR mode, too, but it is instantly colored green/red without the camera focusing. If i disable HDR it focuses, the two elements rotate a bit and when its done, it colors green/red...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Brotuck:
I have white and green ?

Tried it again in my room. But is turns and focusses when i press on a item.

I find hdr quicker then before.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] johannes140:
If it turns and focuses on HDR mode it seems to be working. Quite strange!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Brotuck:
I compared both settings. And the HDR setting does focus less then the normal setting. I get the feeling that it only focusses with more distance between objects and the camera.

Maybe this has to do with the fact that hdr takes a few pictures at the same time with focus points before and after a object ?

So maybe working as designed ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rob151515:
Thanks, I'll give it a go.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] donalgodon:
When I installed this ROM, I got a firmware update to my camera when I opened it.

The camera gave me a message, something like: "Updating Camera firmware. Please wait."

Then, 30 seconds later, the camera finished loading. I have no focus in scene modes, but most everything else is working well.

What was the stock rom that you had on your phone prior to flashing custom roms ? Did you made nanodroid?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] donalgodon:
Do you all mean to say that I don't need to root this ROM using CF-AutoRoot first? That I can just flash the SuperSU 1.6.5 zip via CWM and it will root on a fresh install of this ROM?

I am having some trouble with CWM after I used CF-AutoRoot to root it, and it's something I'd like to resolve. The recovery gives me a warning after backup etc:

How do I fix this issue? I didn't have it on this recovery until I flashed this ROM (Google Edition) for testing. On CM ROMs, it doesn't happen.

It's super annoying, because it requires manual input and stops automated tasks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dublinz:
Yes i flashed SuperSu via recovery Philz (in my case) and it worked fine

So try to flash super su via recovery after fresh install ...it might be the source of your problem as i dont have any isues with supersu
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] donalgodon:
It's not that I don't have root, or that I have trouble with SuperSU. It's that when I backup, or restore, I get this error at the end:

The same happens on CWM latest and PhilZ latest. It's NOT happening on CM ROMs, but ONLY happens on this ROM.

Is there any way to fix it?

I asked the developer of PhilZ Recovery, and he said:

Another person resounded that the same thing happens on Omega ROM.

Wtf is wrong w/ u people?

Im using latest of this rom since maktail posted it,paired w fauxkernel ge/tw 4.3 ultimate version and all is super along w/ the faux clock app.

Pls check root as that kernel w/ the app requires it.

Root always gets lost due to binaries getting wiped while dalvik rewrites on 1st boot w/ philz recovery.

So just flash cfroot 1.65 again after 1st boot & select no if prompted.

Hey all. Im running this GE ROM on my galaxy S4 (coming from a TW S4) but the battery life is somewhat poor for my liking. I've been thinking about flashing it to a new kernel but have been cautious about it. Can someone tell me if I should be using TW or AOSP variations of kernels? Also can anyone suggest a kernel for me to use?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Planet X:
Always use TW versions with GE roms. I use this one: http://faux.androidro.ms/jgedlte/jb43/jgedlte-faux123-GE-JB43-010m.zip and its great on battery too. The full battery experience always starts after a full charge after flashing the rom. So it might be worth just fiull charge and see how it is then?
