Just pull the battery and power on again.

BTW u should have flashed this: http://www.broodplank.net/files/AOSP442-i9505-PreRC-4.zip

Hang at boot fixed in pre RC4
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sagemda:
i flahes pre rc4 :(, if not what can i do ? do the whole reflash again ?

EDIT: the same after pulling battery...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
What rom youre coming from? You might need to do a full wipe
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sagemda:
I did man i did :(( from stock TW just first time rooted and custom recovery installed:(

LE : So what i did : Stock 4.3 TW like out-of-the-box

1) First time rooted this phone with latest CF-Auto-Root + odin 3.07. Then booted

2) Flashed latest philz_touch_6.07.9-jfltexx.tar, but oddingly in recovery itself down at the bottom it says something about 6.0.4.4 :-??

3) Put rom and gapps on memory (ext sd card in my case)

4) Booted into recovery, system wipe, chache wipe, dalvik wipe

5) Flashed in 3-4 sec rom ?( too quick? the gapps took longer ), flashed gapps

6) Rebooted...............Stuck forever at Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 logo

7) Pulled battery out, another flash another wipe another and another... nothing....

My guess is: recovery ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mordek:
Here is newest Philz touch: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/jfltexx/philz_touch_6.12.8-jfltexx.zip, 6.07.9 is quite old (I`ve got similar problem with KitKat).

Don`t worry about 6.0.4.4 - it`s CWM version. Philz CWM is based on it so it has different version number.

So, reflash new recovery, do full wipe, flash rom and gapps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Shocky2:
But then you have no way to flash any further custom roms without voiding your warranty, I know technically your voiding it anyway but you can get around the flash counter, you can't get around knox.

I'll return it to stock when I sell it, but even then it will be to an old stock rom and I won't update it..

Ok flashed the new recovery, all good but when i flash gapps i get status 7 error in recovery.... ? the rom NOW booted up but i cannot iflash those... ?

EDIT: Flashed pagapps as of now i dont have a working solution for status 7, all good but the camera always fails to connect as it FC and tell me that i can't connect to the camera, also getting FC in real racing 3 too
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DuckMcQUack:
I dont know if you forgot to write it down or what but: did you do data wipe/factory reset before switching from tw rom to this one?

If not, just repeat all the process.

Data wipe, cache and dalvik wipe, system wipe > flash rom, latest version pa 0-day 4.4.2 gapps > flash latest version of supersu

Thanks Broodplank! You're awesome!

So I just flash in recovery and it'll add the menu to browser?

I noticed a separate apk in the zip, is that a stand alone app or does it work alongside the AOSP browser?

Thanks again dude :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sagemda:
As i said, my problem before was my recovery but now is done. Now the problem is that when i try to flash his gapps the recovery tells me system 7 error, and the camera i don't know why but know it works after i installed a third party app from store lol...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DuckMcQUack:
Hi broodplank,

I'm on pre-RC4 till yesterday and everything is perfect.

Only one bug remains: on every app, when i type a wrong word and try to correct it from the suggestions' menu, the app itself force-closes and i have to close it and restart it again. This happened to me a few times with whatsapp.

I use swiftkey keyboard and i have also enabled google keyboard (downloaded an apk from the web as i didn't manage to find it on the store and google volcal dictation too). My gapps are mini modular package from paranoidandroid, 4.4.2 version from 23rd of january.

I am telling you the details as it seems that not all the users of your rom are suffering from the bug.

Thanks as always, with your rom the S4 is THA BEAST. Xposed and gravitybox add the needed customizations to the plain AOSP vanilla rom we should ever need!

Keep up the awesome work! :good::laugh::highfive:

is video recording in stereo sound?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
how would that be achieved in the first place if there is only 1 main microphone for recording sound, the other one is for calling. I suppose if the one for calling is set to "speaker" mode it could be possible, but what's the use for it? the sound is good when recording. also imagine if they would use 2 microphones, it would only record in actual stereo if you have the sound source like 10cm away from your phone, else its just a mono
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] -sandro-:
I don't know what to tell you but with TW e GE ROMs videos are recorded in stereo and there's a big difference in sound stage:laugh:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ionutzvio:
Is kt jernel better then the stock in battery life?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] TemporaryTester:
There's a big difference between "recorded in stereo" and "plays back in stereo". With a single mic (or, for that matter, without two sound sources in noticeably different locations), what more likely happens is that it records the sound in mono, then plays back the same mono sound in both ears.

Anyway, I've tested it, and my recorded videos do come back with sound in both channels.

Also, to weigh in on the PhilZ debate, I have no problem with it, other than the fact that Loki seems to be broken on devices that need it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] logiko89:
This also happens to me.. it's not Rom related it's Xposed related :)

EDIT: I am pretty sure about that because I use WhatsApp+ which has a built in feature to send a log of the crash to the developer via mail.. He told me that it was the XposedBridge..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] -sandro-:
I haven't tried because when I asked I was already testing another rom (CM11). But yeah in official Samsung ROMs it records actual stereo sound (left and right) so that when you record a car passing by (if phone is held in landscape) when you play it back on stereo speakers you hear the car going from the left to right :P

Anyway regarding the issue I posted before about tapatalk being laggy I can confirm it. Since others said they weren't having problems I went back to a GE ROMs from a backup and there's a big difference, when you scroll from there it is silky smooth with (almost, it's always Android :P) no lags, but when you do it in AOSP ROMs (and CM11 I see now) it's pretty laggy, sometimes it doesn't respond to touch for a second or less and it hangs while scrolling. I can shoot you a side-by-side video if you want. This is not because I'm asking for a fix or anything. I'm more curious to understand what's behind these issues that prevent unofficial ROMs to perform worse, see HDR, in the multimedia/graphic department compared to the official ROM. Maybe lack of sources?

I think all this also connects to the general animations of transitions that sometimes are not smooth or when you scroll down the notification bar sometimes it animates with low FPS. Those are of course minor graphic glitches then I probably only notice myself cause I'm used to the smoothness of GE ROMs where those things don't happen.:)

Sorry but this is the confirmation that this is not related with xposed in any way as xposed itself is not compatible with ART.

Do you guys know how i can create a log to attach to my posts in order to help Brood in pointing out the issue? I have syslog from the play store installed on my device, i don't know if it can help me out.

As now this is the only issue i have encountered so far using pre rc4.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Fouad Aslam:
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately mine is not corrected by that. It seems to be a hardware defect. Proximity sensor is fickle; the gestures work but the actual proximity sensor sometimes does and sometimes wont. The ambient light sensor, temp and humidity all donot change values at all. Sigh:(

Phone is not in warranty so getting it checked whether it is a modular issue or motherboard problems. This sucks.

Thanks for the tip though:good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] TemporaryTester:
Ouch, mate.

I was quite annoyed, since my proximity sensor has been deteriorating ever since I first got the phone. It needed its first recalibration after 3 weeks; I've probably recalibrated it six times since. It does kinda disturb me, because IMO the proximity sensor is the most important sensor on the device.

Do the sensors work in TW at all (i.e. do the values change when you try to make them change)? Use the sensor test mode in TW to check (*#0*#). Best case, perhaps your phone just doesn't like AOSP... Worst case, gg.

If the proximity sensor does work in sensortest, but the automatic "echo" method doesn't work, a more exhaustive tutorial is here, in which you may have to use manual editing to make it work. I believe that the manual method works for proximity sensors that are stuck "near" and "far"; the automatic echo method only works for those that are stuck "near".

gravity + xposed (with Location, NFC and GPS disabled) = double battery

I've had superb battery life with RC1 and never got it back with later releases.

Tried all kind of different settings and finally found when I have the superb battery life with pre-RC4 again.

When I start using gravity and the xposed modules again, disable Location, NFC and GPS it doubles my battery life.

ART consumes the most for me, dalvic a little less, but the magic battery saver is for me gravity with xposed.

Last thing I want to mention, I use titanium backup every time. Swithed from ART to dalvic a lot of times and then did a full wipe.

But whattsapp started using >30% of the battery and with gmail couldn't send any reply messages any more.

With a "clear data" under apps got it back to normal.

I did it for all apps.

Hope this helps people.

Hi [MENTION=4354408]broodplank1337[/MENTION],

The previous phone we both owned the i9001 the phone hardly lost any battery ( <= 1%) over night. I don't know what caused this. Would it be possible to apply something similar to the i9505?

Reg., Joost
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
permissions of what? I assume you did not changed the permissions of ALL (recursively in root) files to only X (100, 010 or 001) which can be done with chmod -R 100 *, or did you? If so, I suggest reflashing a stock rom with odin and then reroot it, put custom recovery on it and flash my rom again.

try this:

go in cwm, connect phone to pc, open up adb shell. and try chaning permissions. if it doesn't work you can try "fix permissions" but there is a big chance that won't do anything usefull.

Indeed, the changes are pretty minor, only some color changes that make the kitkat look complete so why not :)

I know, I believe the main reason for that is that the ariesve used 3.0 kernels, which were extremely battery sufficient (especially broodROM ;))

I think it cannot be done on the i9505 (at this moment), why? first of all, the kernel (3.4) isn't the best at battery life, (3.10 will make a difference in this tho), next to that we have a quad core now instead of a single core. I can get a minimum of like 5% drain over night (with 3g on), I think with 3g off it's only like 2% drain tho.

oh and a question to everyone, does CM 11 also have the same issues as my rom have? I mean the video size on hw decoder bugged and sometimes the freezes on video playback?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Brotuck:
The only file affected is cmd, so i think it will be fine for now.

Already tried to use a SSH shell / putty session, did not work

ADB is next on my list.

Reflashing the entire ROM sounds a bit overdone to be honest.

I think ill make a flashable zip to delete the file and copy it again, lets see if that works.
