It's the same as always, put rom + gapps + root on sdcard, reboot in recovery, install rom, install gapps, install root. wipe cache/dalvik-cache and reboot :P

Knox is not related to this rom in any way. or atleast it's not if you don't update it frequently :p, I never updated my bootloader and modem since the very first release. to install the rom there are no special requirements, the only thing you need is cwm/twrp/philz recovery, all other things such as bootloader, modem don't care.

Sweet thanks for fast reply. I hadn't ever worried about them before just thought I'd ask. Want to avoid updating since I never use tw and don't want a Knox boot loader. Just glad can go back to your ROM.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Barthlon:
Hi broodplank,

Newbie here, trying to understand what is going on in here :p Can you please correct me if I'm wrong?

AOSP is the plain Android. As plain as it can be. No device runs 100% pure AOSP but always a 'customized' version of AOSP: i.e. Google Edition ROMs, Touchwiz ROMs, CM or HTC ROMs etc.

Unlike the customized versions the 'code' of AOSP is not made public / is not released freely.

What you are trying to do is to build pure AOSP as close to 100% as possible, using every little bit of information and every source you can find (coming from different places). This means (not to sound harsh or rude) that you will always be one (small) step behind of the pure AOSP, but also that you are creating 'the next best thing' / the thing closest to it.

Again, correct me if I'm wrong. Trying to figure it all out here :p

any changelog from 4.4.1? better bench? :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
No problem, ah ok thats a smart one, knox is like this "terminal parasite" once attached (and then I mean a new version) it will never go off, unless you kill it with fire ;)

Thanks. I hope to reach the final stages anytime soon. all depends on voip xd

idd, a tip for everyone, www.broodplank.net/files is a directory listing script, so you can always browse it!

Yes AOSP is the mother of all android roms, but roms like TouchWiz or Sense cannot even be compared with aosp, the difference is so huge that the nice aosp light system has already been vanished. and a heavy framework has replaced it.

And no the source for AOSP is always available, but the roms that google actually release for the nexus are built from private repositories. google never builds from public repositories.

And yes basically I just use the whole android source and only adjust the things that are absolutely needed, in order to get a properly functioning output for the target device which is i9505. and its not harsh or rude it's the only way you can get aosp working on a device that's not supported. I'm so glad I can merge all those commits from various sources, If i needed to code that all myself we never would have a working aosp build :P And yes I can guarantee 100% that my AOSP is the absolute closest to the original AOSP source of all i9505 roms. Google Edition is just a joke if you compare it with a real AOSP. It's basically just a Touchwiz rom but then with a aosp skin and almost all features demolished.

you are right on most things, except that aosp is open source amd freely available (but it still needs proprietary libs from the devices, which come in the stock rom), so aosp or any android rom cannot run without the proprietary files of the device. (because of this the main leader of AOSP almost left once because he thought it was bull****, and it is.. but boy what do I love Android! :D it's really the perfect open source system to work with. I think because android is the first large smartphone operating system there will never be an "accepted" new OS that is closed source and is for smartphones. Google +1 for setting that

from 4.4.1 ? xd I think you mean 2. anyways, I think benchmark results are still not stable (fps), but that's not really important, since the rom itself is rock solid stable and really smooth :)

[MENTION=4354408]broodplank1337[/MENTION], one question....the proprietary files ( libril-qc-qmi-1.so and libril.so ) in the latest samsung rom update are always the same?

Tnx
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
Just a noob question.. What booster pack does?

Battery life is affected?

Thx
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
what color?

search in the file for "blink" and also give it chmod 000.

Yes, they never get updated idd.

It installs the bionic libc and dalvik from the moto x 4.4, which is optimized by qualcomm and gives you really powerful performance.

next to that it includes a Linaro O3 Kernel which makes it even smoother, and the best part is the battery doesn't drain more then usual ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lither:
It's flashing when it's charging and low battery, I've replaced the boot.img with the edited one and after flash I checked on Root Explorer and it hasn't changed at all
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DuckMcQUack:
Still on beta 8, i guess it's time to update! ;) Thanks Brood for your awesome rom! :)

Anyone here that uses PowerAmp music player? I have some real problems with it on this rom. It sometimes stops playing music when skipping tracks, and I have to manually force close it to get it working again. Also there is some skipping in the beginning of new tracks. And changing tracks via bluetooth headset never works. Bluetooth headset loses connection alot also...

Might be Android 4.4.1 related?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kaiowas82:
i have this on every 4.4 i tried, using rocket player now. and waiting for a fix from their side :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ruskin0611:
Could be 4.4.1 related (I was using CM11 - 4.4.1 for awhile and it has similar issues with PowerAMP freezing). Haven't tried bluetooth yet, but noticed that "Pocket Skip Track" would cause the issue to arise much quicker than pushing forward/back on PowerAMP widget.

Just switching to this ROM now, to see if 4.4.2 has the same issue...

EDIT: meant to ask, do you have your music on your internal or external SD?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Ok attached it, it's based on beta 13 bootimg

idd your 5 versions behind, and still voip is not working :rolleyes:

The issues you describe are really typically a small mismerge or something like that. since you describe the problems very well I can instantly go to the regarding file :good: Maybe there is some small mismerge in libhardware (AudioTrack.cpp probably).

And the bluetooth issues I don't wonder, I have merged very minimal bluetooth support so far. will take a look at it

hmm they thing I don't like about kitkat is the sound implementation. it has caused so much trouble so far :P

thats a good point you bring up, since I have read some mediaserver/mediaprovider errors
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Hoggles:
This for me is what a "dev" does...

Develops a ROM from source.

You my friend...know what you're doing. No need for a laundry list of "credits" & "thanks"...why? Because ya did it yourself.

Thanks a bunch for the hard work. b13 is running great. As far as I can tell...you are the only dev to have 4.4.2 up and running like a champ!

Much respect :angel:

Thanks Brood!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rndll:
Happened to me once and had to stop the app too. I can still skip tracks on my Backbeat Gos though. Connection seems to be fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] corb06:
I have all the mp3 on the external SD.

Yeah trying to skip with volume buttons shuts the playback down right away. I will try another player and see if my Sony smart headset behaves better.

My bluetooth keyboard works flawless, so that part is all ok.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ruskin0611:
Mine is on my external card as well. Might transfer it to internal and see if that helps...

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

Ok, so results of my (limited) testing so far;

- PowerAMP forward/back seems to work fine when using the home screen widget (regardless if your music is on internal or external SD).

- PowerAMP forward/back seems to lock up the song (or causes it to stutter) when using the lock screen widget if your music is on your external SD card, but works ok if your music is on your internal SD.

Not sure if you are getting the same issues, but for me it's either move my music to internal SD (not the best option, as I have a few Gigs) or unlock the phone to move forward/back (also not the best option when driving). For now, might just transfer my best collection playlist to internal SD to test this theory more thoroughly...

Random question. Is it possible to flash themes on this ROM? Just want a black theme find they work great for extra battery on amoled screens
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Haha thanks :D this is my second aosp from source (previous was 4.3 also for s4) and I must admit that im getting pretty familiar with the whole system now. by precisely merging the things that I think are necessary and skipping the things that i find irrelevant i get really good results. and besides that I have a passion for developing, I really enjoy doing it and won't be satisfied with a result like a "good rom", I want to make a "great rom"! and idd no credits list, work 100% on my own :p

You're welcome, I have no idea how the other 4.4.2 roms run since I only use my own rom :angel: but I think it performs above average, since that's what im aiming for at all times :good:

Can you please tell me if you're talking about typical rom behavior or app behavior, since I won't go and investigate the issue while its not even needed :p

I know.. its so dumb. private tabs are NOT supported in API 19, but google think hey let's just keep this function inside the browser because we want fc's ?? xd

Well if you find someone that makes the theme for you then yes, but thememanager is not supported at all.

ill post boosterpack v6 soon, maybe together with beta 14 ;)

staged changes for next release:

- Audio/Video playback patches

- Soundcard status indication

- Libstagefright fixes

- Camera Wrapper Updates (Add TARGET_NEED_CAMERA_ZSL, Add TARGET_NEED_SAMSUNG_MAGIC_ZSL_1508 & Fix Raw parameter sending) (most likely this adds support for more camera apps)

- Add ad2p support (bluetooth)

I really hope these fixes make 'the already merged patch that fixes voip' working.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Barthlon:
Thank you very much for this clear explanation! :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ruskin0611:
Thanks mate. I wouldn't investigate it too much. It seems to be consistent with other 4.4.x android ROMs so isn't specific to yours... Possible that the app hasn't been updated (although some have mentioned the same issue with other music players).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
You're welcome. and no there will not. atleast not 100%, I think even if you ask a member of the core team that created android he will also say no, considering 100% is that you know every file from the entire environment xd

Don't worry, I'm not satisfied with the build so won't release it yet, you will never guess what did not work, VOIP!! wow what a shock :silly:

Ok thanks for letting me know, although I think the next release will possibly fix music playback problems.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Obagleyfreer:
Hey Brood thanks so much for the awesome ROM and all your hard work, you rock!

I notice you mention camera doesn't use compression, 100% jpg quality.......a jpg IS a compressed file though.

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

What are thses booster packs everyone is mentioning? I can find it in OP......
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AgentElephant:
Iunderstand your comment i'm pedantic too.

But 100% qualiy is a JPG setting. yes theres compression but I dont think it needed picking.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Obagleyfreer:
Thanks mate :) I wasn't picking, just confused. Thanks for clearing it up.

Do you know what the booster pack is?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
what I meant is JPEG Compression, because JPEG is indeed always compressed, such all image types except a few (.raw etc)

But since it reduces the photo quality by default I wanted to keep it the best quality possible.

and the booster pack is a pack that includes the bionic and dalvik from moto x 4.4, its optimized by qualcomm, thats what makes it special, also it includes my own linaro o3 kernel for extra smoothness. all files are in: www.broodplank.net/files/ so if you browse that you will see the links, but currently there is no boosterpack yet for the latest release. I will be releasing that later this morning
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lither:
I've replaced the boot.img you edited and still it hasn't changed in the file after flash, I think I will just have to use GravityBox to disable the LED
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
I think you are not flashing the boot images correctly, since it's not possible that it's not changed unless you flashed an older version.

it may be confusing if you push it to /sdcard/ it sometimes turns up in /sdcard/0/ or a different dir, please try flashing again, but this time push it to the root of /data, and flash it from there, success guaranteed ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] orobin:
Hi,

I have some question, and report one bug on V12 (a bit late, sorry)

- starting from clean wipe, factory reset etc...( do it all the time)

rom install properly, when I start to use it, just after having entered the google credentials, I have a FC on Pico TTS.

- you said :

...google actually release for the nexus are built from private repositories....

I noticed that on nexus 7, Kitkat, to launch google now, you can press on home, a ring apear, with a google button.

on nexus 5, you can swipe rom the left to right, google now apear, like a new page (really easy to use)

on google edition : same as nexus 5.

how do you think samsung did, to do it ? if it is private repository ?

your version have none of these options. so the real aosp in gogole source have no special option for googl now, isn't it ?

- you would like to try to compile you rom (I am developer, did few andoird apps, but never compile a rom).

you repository contains all I need, or I will need anything else from google ?

(except the sdk of course...)

many thank you if you can takes time, even if I understand that making all of this alerady take a lot of your time.

[MENTION=4354408]broodplank1337[/MENTION], i compare the proprietary file: TheMappets github <---> latest google edition rom 4.4 and the size of the files are different....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Probably wrong gapps or anything related to that since no one has this.

for the launcher it's really simple, nexus 5 and google edition both use the proprietary apks from google. these are just the same for every device, you can also install them if you want, download a big gapps package and it will be included most likely, you can also copy the files from google edition and install on the rom.

I think you mean "I" instead of "you", anyways, yes if you download my manifest and then sync it you will have everything you need (except needed packages for compiling etc)

I advise you to use the teamradium build script, I contributed about 50% of it, https://github.com/TeamRadium/tr-be-script it sets up all required dependencies automatically (if you use --auto parameter)

to download my rom sources:

mkdir ~/AOSP
cd ~/AOSP
repo init -u git://github.com/AOSP-S4-KK/platform_manifest -b kk-4.4
repo sync

So? is that a problem? I have pulled the whole jf-common dir from there a while ago
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] orobin:
thanks for reply.

it is so kind, and help a lot.

I took the gapps with link in first post, but anyway, you are right, it seem I am alone. and after that, the rom works well.

>I think you mean "I" instead of "you",

yes, sorry. I make so much mistakes in English :o(

thanks for tips, I will try to install (it will be my start) all what I need to compile.

Thanks

You need to change your carrier to one supporting it or just live with it as now.

Yep, it's not possible to disable it. I get it also (using E-Plus Germany).

And another thing: it's also useless to go back to stock rom, I got it even there.

For now I can live with that because I don't use any sync services, so it's not such a battery killer for me as for others doing much more network stuff over the day or in the background even at night ^^

Reboot issues

Hey all !

To those who are experiencing rebbot issues, and bootloops after restart. To those who only could get it booting again with a charger plugged in.

I've been going around thinking why my phone was rebooting all the time . I naturally assumed it was the rom or kernel or something related to that.

A minute ago I noticed a bump on my battery. It has swollen up at the lower end. Not much, but definately noticeable! (See attached)

A regurlar s4 is flat all the way across.

I've compared it to another s4 and something has definately happened! :)
