Please, if you could upload just the kernel it would be appreciated... I have the rom with xposed framework + gravity and it would be boring to reinstall it again with all other stuffs..

p.s. flashing just the kernel the procedure would be this (correct me if I'm wrong)

1. go to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik

2. flash the kernel via recovery

3. reboot without flashing again root

4. the room will start normally with xposed framework already installed...

What are the proper pixel size of wallpapers with the GE 4.3 ROMs?

With the Samsung ROMs I was using the 1920x1080 size wallpapers, but when I try them with this ROM it will only let me select a small portion in the middle, like it's too big or something.

Also I noticed the stock launcher won't let you set a different wallpaper for the lock screen and home screen. They have to be the same.

I think you can use something like GravityBox for the volume thing.

You can access that menu either by typing *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer, or by using an app like Tel Info.

The *#*#4636#*#* dial code doesn't work on GE ROMs. But as starkilling mentioned, download the app called Telinfo, which is the same as using the dial code. Here is the playstore link:

SIM Unlock & Stuff

Hi All,

I've just rooted and installed philz recovery and now looking to flash my first rom on this phone....

Read through the whole thread a couple of times and must say all the comments sound really great and I'd love to try a GE rom, the bug list says about a sim unlock bug but nobody has said what it actually is ?

I've googled and looked on XDA, found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2342076 and still don't know if i should be concerned or not ?

I'm not bothered about the other items on bug list although I'd just like to confirm that both usb and wifi tethering work ok as its included in my network plan and not everyone uses these.

Oh and one last thing, lots of posts regarding kernels and stuff, this rom comes with a kernel included and the most demanding thing I do on the phone is watch video so I'm guessing I don't have to do anything? Also not to concerned over battery life...

If you have any more advice before I flash this it would be appreciated as I'm new to Samsung (ex old HTC) and this is my first post for this phone, oh I've done a full backup and also a separate backup of my efs (seems to be important) using philz recovery.

Cheers

I was thinking on putting on the latest faux's kernel, but I must be an idiot, cause I can't find the thread. hehe

I am on JWR66Y v2 currently. I have the feeling V was running better on battery.

From 100 down to around 50 percent everythings fine... yesterday I got 100-82 percent in 24 hours in 2G mode and normal use (for me).

But today percents are melting away... 1 percent every 15 minutes, now I am down to 9 and it went to the charger.

Flash the Kernel, fixes battery issues. .
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chocodough:
You can flash it any time actually.

But as normal practice when you install a Kernel.

1) Wipe cache

2) Wipe dalvik cache

3) flash kernel

4) fix permissions

That should about do it. And after the phone boots the first time after installing the kernel, let it sit for a few minutes before using the phone.

My ROM works correctly but I can't get access to recovery...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] starkilling:
Turn the phone off. Hold volume up + home and hit the power button. Let go of the power button while holding home and volume up. It should say in little blue letters "recovery booting..." in the top left corner. Alternatively, use adb reboot recovery.

the only problem i have is the notification led, the only one i have is during charging (the red led) and during startup.

don't get any notification when i get a message. tried light flow, nothing, i press the test and nothing happens, also, i tried reflashing the rom, and wiping the data. still nothing. i just bought my galaxy and i came from the stock rom, worked great there.

any suggestions?

Sorry for my stupid question, but I really cannot understand what to do.

Yes, I managed to download i9505-ge-untouched-4.3-JWR66Y.S003-v2 of 400+ MB,

I have installed Samsung Phone drivers, when I start ODIN 3.09 it detects the phone after is has been connected and turned into downloading mode.

WHAT to do next? The loader (ODIN) does not recognize .ZIP files, so I feel that something is going wrong :)

Is call recording possible on this ROM?

Hi,

When I was running stock on i9505 I could record calls using any of the programmes in the play store.

After installing this ROM no app works for call recording.

Don't get me wrong, the ROM is awesome (stable, fast and bloat free) but I would like to enable call recording on the phone.

Is anyone aware of patches, mods or kernels that would reenable call recoding?

Thanks for the great work!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Dron/9K:
It seems that I have terminated my phone in the end.

So, I downloaded 2.6.3. version of a custom bootloader from here - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jfltexx.

First bad sign was when if failed with cache wiping, the second one was that some items in the advanced menu did not exist, so description of the loader differs from the one I installed. Nevertheless I wanted the new firmware so much, so I installed it! It started well: new animation then upgrading of software and then nothing: coloured rings are flying and nothing is changing...

Then I went to the bootloader againg and tried wiping of everything, and then found out that .zip with the firmware does not exist anymore.

I assume that only way to repair is to copy .zip onto micro-sd, and try to re-install the firmware.

Questions:

1. which particular bootloader (and its version) should be used for futher operation?

2. what shall I do extra to ensure that the versions of firmware are not mixed?

PS. In its log the bootloader writes that /data /cache and other folders cannot be mounted

I can't comment on your first issue, but if you want TouchWiz get WanamLite or Omega. They're better than stock and you can just flash them via recovery.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] astuermer:
Update: It seems my battery is somehow broken. It even has high battery drain with official Touchwiz ROM from Samsung below 30 percent. So it is NOT related to this great Google Edition ROM :good::laugh:

I already tried switching the device completely off over night so the battery can reset (Some time ago I read somewhere this helps with devices having inaccurate battery readings or switching off at 15% without warning. This method was working on my old Nexus 7 after a few flash operations resulting in bad battery readings and turn-off at 15%).

What's your take on the camera photos and video quality of this ROM compared to stock Touchwiz ROMs? I can't seem to say which ones are better. Touchwiz camera is richer in features but it's not faster at all.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] starkilling:
The only difference in photo or video quality I've noticed is in low lighting with the font camera, GE takes considerably worse photos. TW obviously has more features, but I find the AOSP camera quite nice, as I'm not a big photo guy. I can see how the lack of features would hinder you if you take photos all the time though.

High battery use and wakelock issues

Hi all,

Like some of you I've been experiencing bad battery performance with version 2.0 of the ROM.

With a little bit of digging I found that process 1013 with System(media) type: AudioOut_2 was causing the wakelocks which was preventing the phone going into deep sleep (and consequently using a high percentage of battery).

It seems that by disabling "touch tone pad" and "lock screen" sounds, the issue has been resolved.

I still need to ensure that this is the case, but I thought that I'd pass on the steps I've taken.

Good luck.

Regards,

Jk
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] starkilling:
I still have that wakelock with all the sounds disabled. It's not that bad, but it still drains the battery more than it should.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] astuermer:
Perhaps "Vibration" (since it's located under menu "Sounds") is also included in this wakelock?

Anybody tried it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chocodough:
Well after using version Y 2.0 here for a week, I am just disgusted with the battery drain, even with using Faux's custom full kernel. So I am going back to the last V version.

I just don't understand how Google screwed this update up. It was only 16 meg of security updates it seems, but they messed something up along the way. I just don't think having a few security updates which will most likely not effect me being worth it for the extra battery drain.

Going back to the V version is the most logical choice, no use in busting your brain trying to fix a defective Y update that really doesn't offer anything.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] JamesKinds:
The only other thing that springs to mind is that perhaps it is related to a rescanning of the external SD card. This may seem like a jump, but do you have a large external SD card with lots of media (videos, music and pictures) on it?

I do and I suspect that the rescanning of the media may have been the culprit. Admittedly, why this should have occurred is not know.

I have seen other threads which talk about specific misbehaving apps (such as Viber) but I don't have any of the mentioned apps installed.

I hope that we can find a solution.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] donalgodon:
To those having game crashes with this ROM, I have noticed, after a full wipe and new flash test today that it appears to be related to Xposed Framework and/or GravityBox.

Before flashing them, games like Beach Buggy Blitz, Home Run Battle 3D work. After Xposed/GravityBox, they don't.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] astuermer:
For me those games are also not working with a fresh clean install (no tweaks, root or so).

So I don't think it's related to Xposed/Gravitybox.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Dron/9K:
It works now! :)

Everything works OK but chrome does not work smoothly (my old Google Nexus works much better). It seems to be the feature of samsung galaxy s4.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] donalgodon:
There really is a problem with the scrolling. I agree. It's not just the GE ROM, because stock Touchwiz is the same. I got a bit of smoothness by editing the buildprop to disable scrolling cache, but it's still not so great. CM 10.2 is smoother than stock TouchWiz or GE ROM.

I wish I could use this ROM, but too many games crash with it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] astuermer:
Currently I am on the V-kernel. I cannot remember such issues with this version. So far I am on 77%....

Ok, no changes with other kernels of this GE-ROM regarding the "below 30% battery loss".
