This is indeed a great ROM. I tried Brood's 4.3 and other AOSP ROMs but the GE 4.3 was smoother on my phone at least( Blasphemy, I know :) ).

With 4.4 KK Brood's ROM is fantastic and I really appreciate the hard work he has put in to get everything working from source.

I was enjoying the ROM till Beta 7 and then all that ended when my S4 got stolen a few days ago :crying: :crying:

Just wanted to say thanks to Brood for his fantastic work and really wish that I had been able to experience the RC1. Still following the thread regularly even though I don't have the phone any more!

Some hot coffee coming up for Brood shortly as soon as I figure out how to donate to him from my country:p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
cm 10 XD? wtf I don't even use cm10 repos. and if there is any cm11 repo thats because it's temporary, since I have not yet made my own repo then. it's really too complicated to explain why I need CM. its because of so many reasons.

Lol thats strange, however, I'm glad 4.4 runs good! Oh no it got stolen :S wtf man that's really lame.

Anyways, you're welcome! And I appreciate a donation very much :) If you can't figure out how to do it it's np :P

anyways, guys for next release I have some great changes:

- Screenrecording fixed

- Previously unknown networks now fixed

- Network selection fixed

and much more but I forgot it atm, last 2 days no developing that's why I forgot atm
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HaGii:
I got some strange problems while using this Rom for a few days now.

1. I every could turn oft the Bluetooth but from one our to the other. I cannot turn it off. Only after rebooting the phone

2. My radio recognize my phone fr itself when using every other ROM, but only with this ROM it seems that I have to connect it manually all time, like my phone hasn't got an own Bluetooth ID or something .

3. The ROM often stucks on bootlogo and I have to turn it off again an then turn on... Often for 3 times... Then it goes on.

4. Usually when using any random app I got error for force closing the app... Don't know when... Its not a special thing that has to be turned on or something. It randomly happens.

5. I got an error message when rebooting phone but can't read it fast enough.

6. WiFi turning off when phone is locked... Sometimes it stays tuned, but sometimes it doesn't.

That's for now.

My phone has the newest version of this ROM. The kernel which comes with this ROM. Closed and gravity installer, also the boosterpack v6 an the gapps from broodplank with supersu app. ;)

Thanks for any answers. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] K900i:
I'm having a few issues , thought I'd like to point Out......

Browser FC's every 10 minutes...

I try to play video from the app VK it strutters,lags and eventually force closes.

I can't even play youtube videos from the browser, it gives a FC.

Phone won't boot back On once switched off...I had to re-install the ROM.

Gets Hot really quick under the camera. and wifi takes a while to connect or switch.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Fouad Aslam:
Yeah man its really lame and depressing, one moment you have the bragging rights over all your 4.2.2 using S4 friends and the next minute bam, no phone. Sucks to no end.

But I will figure out the donation thingy; our fav Dev can figure out this AOSP labyrinth, the least I can do is figure out how to support him :D

Sorry for off topic here, but since I am gonna start my phone hunt anew what do you Brood especially and all the users of this ROM suggest I get. A new I9505? Or might as well go for the Nexus 5 since we are all trying to make our phones AOSP/Nexus any way?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] |_dan_|:
Can you tell me what change have you done to fix the "unknown network" ? :)

Tnx
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Fouad Aslam:
Figured out donation yay..

Here you go Brood

8GA68769U6454635J

With all my thanks for your hard work and more importantly for your extremely helpful attitude towards the users of your ROM. You are truly a very nice person in addition to being an awesome developer:good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
1+2: I will take a look at it

3: general android issue, seems there is no real solution so far..

4+5: I think you really need to do a factory reset, those erorrs should not happen

6: fixed in next release ;)

What version are you using? Latest? have you done a factory reset once?

And not all video players are supported for 4.4+ yet you must know that

Idd I can imagine it really sucks.. and about the new phone yes thats a hard choice. a nexus 5 is cool because it allows you to use official sources and build a working rom for it. I think nexus 5 is cheaper so why not go for that. your choice still :)

This https://github.com/AOSP-S4-KK/platform_frameworks_base/commits/kk-4.4 + I will implement HSP+ support.

Thank you very much man :D I greatly appreciate that! :good: And thanks, I really love to develop, think that's the difference with many other "developers"
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Fouad Aslam:
My pleasure Sir :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 0kti:
Don't forget to add 272-11 (Tesco mobile ie) for network 272-02 (o2.ie)

Send from my GT-I9505
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HaGii:
Wow, thank you. Real fast reply :)

Okay, I will do that... But I don't know where it comes from. Because I did factory reset etc before flashing the ROM... Don't know.

But I'll try and tell you. But please give some phrases, because of Bluetooth issue... When you found something wrong, tell me, so I know that it can be fixed or that its not my fault or mz radio's fault. :P

Thanks again! :)))

[MENTION=4354408]broodplank1337[/MENTION] found another bug :eek: the browser crashes when opening an incognito tab..

Me Gusta!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mennpiko:
Thanks mate, border live abroad and I know it is very useful when connected to another operator, I can finally use 4.4.2 without evil R
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HaGii:
Dont know how to make an inkognito tab in browser... :o
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Battlehero:
Its been removed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Masami1975:
for me all working but... only 20000 on antutu?:eek:

Rom is super smooth thank you
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DuckMcQUack:
Have we got an approximated ETA of the release candidate 2?

I was going to flash RC1 but i don't suffer from the actual bugs (I'm on the last beta) and using the ROM as my daily driver without problems whatsoever.

In conclusion i can wait to flash an updated version if a newer one is going to be released very soon.

Moreover: Will we need to flash the audio fix in the next RC, too?

Thanks as always brood, this rom rocks.

G :good::laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AgentElephant:
After "RC" you cheeky bastard. :D

Stable is probably a much better word to use.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] corb06:
Just noticed that I can't receive mms. It's just a Play icon showing, and no picture.

Anyone else that has this bug? Actually I didn't even know that ppl still uses mms, haven't received any in months. It's all whatsapp and Hangouts nowadays =)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] danny_and_2:
No problem here with mms! :)

Have send over 20 and recieved more than 30. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ChaoticUnreality:
My understanding is Google removed incognito mode from the browser but didn't update the menu.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] danny_and_2:
Antutu isnt really important if you feel the rom is smooth, however you can try installing boosterpack :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Masami1975:
boosterpack installed...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HaGii:
Does the boosterpack really makes sense and do you feel the change? Or smoother and higher speed of the device? :P
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Masami1975:
I've only low antutu benchmark but phone is a rocket...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HaGii:
Yeah. But without boosterpack it's also a rocket :P So does boosterpack really change the beahaviour compared to the "stock" broodplank ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DuckMcQUack:
Just flash it and look by yourself ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] InvisibleBow:
I flashed this again and wifi is working right now. But if it stops working should i use logcat extreme and set it to show errors and then try to see what goes wrong? It's so weird since it happens on every 4.3 aosp i try..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] `SBR`:
not sure it can be integrated..

for s-view you may need few services from TW or GE rom.. flip cover is based on magnetic sensor as the flip cover has a magnetic strip.. when it closes, the it will show the tiny display of main items in the small window. and on opening it will unlock the screen if no security defined.

like this if you haven't seen it.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] maximoz:
I just use the stock auto brightness.

Just greenify on Facebook that's all.

Mainly chatting on whatsapp, LINE, browser and xda app with a few calls here and there.

Also am using WiFi most of the time.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Thanks for mentioning that, I wasn't able to test it myself so far. I have noted your issues. and I probably have an fix.

Wifi is very strange in JSS15Q, it's a generally known, the nexus 7 even have this problem, when running the latest aosp. so we will have to wait for aosp to fix it.

I actually confused S view and flip cover idd. both never used them. but I think s view is a real battery drainer isn't it?

Anyways, thanks for your info :)

edit: recompiling the rom with make clean and cleaned ccache (as it was 60gb, a couple of million files). this results into a very, very very very, slow compiling process XD, like 3 hours

after first complete build with ccache it should fly, in about 30 min it builds the whole rom :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jusada:
I was just reading the pa google+ page and found this post that might interest you as your using jss. I have no issues with it and guessed you would know already but. . . https://plus.google.com/107979589566958860409/posts/jJfn3NEhK6g
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
thats some pretty interesting stuff.. and its kinda true.. there are just a few strange bug that occur on all devices. like wifi

but thats really occured since JSS15Q, and not JSS15J. so I don't get why we would downgrade even further. I might go to J instead of Q but I hope there are not to many consequences..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] K900i:
what kind of sorcery is this. ?

btw is there an option to turn off capacitive key "lights" ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ismaelmaia:
Persist bug lte...

Remains the same problem with the data connection on the LTE network. Just enter the rede.mais not go online. Already tested cyanogenmod latest versions and all roms AOSP 4.3 without success. Already switched modem and also nothing. Data only HSPDA and 3G and edge.

---------- Post added at 05:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 AM ----------

Using a modem for specific resolcer this problem?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Yes, you can enter this:

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

and

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_brightness

Ok then it's an overall issue with 4,3 I think. sorry but cannot help you with that until its fixed at cm10.2

btw guys, check this commit out :D

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/cts/+/18ad8bc7725710b2e02a50016a72fd2d121b9b4c

Adapt to netlink changes introduced in kernel v3.8

3.8 kernel incoming :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Building a new build right now, hdr won't be fixed I think but its being compiled with gcc 4.8 and the kernel got a ****load of patches from cm upstream, and I mean a real LOT of them. like 150 new commits. (https://github.com/AOSP-S4/android_kernel_samsung_jf/commits/jb-4.3)

so im curious about the result. lets hope those 2 factors smear butter all over the surface xd

Ill post it when its done compiling

edit: lol kernel stays at max freq all the time how nice :) makes my phone all cool! NOT!!

will replace the governors (interactive stays at max freq, ondemand doesn't, how odd)

and the cpu freq file if needed xd.

edit2: ok i screwed up somewhere, only getting a bootloop in recovery and cwm is also not working, (shows dead droid) XD

so im going to let this build and then reboot in windows to use odin lol.

and I don't mean the build but my own custom made recovery

edit3: lol it was because the reboot param got messed up. just rebooted it once in download mode and then it was fixed.

edit4: going to try out the latest build now and see if it worth posting.

edit5: ok the build is not worth it, ill rebuild it with normal gcc. but one thing is nice, the uber ugly led color (yellow/red blurred really worse) is now fixed, its now green when charging :P

and someone pls make a post XD i don't want to have a tripple post with each a couple of edits -.- xd
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Brotuck:
Looks like a lot of work ahead of you then.

Isn't it possible to use (parts) of the google play rom ? Just a suggestion here for the hdr part.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pitastrudl:
i think its not possible since the GE rom is closed source
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jusada:
I don't think it's that easy, from what I understand the ge rom is still a tw based rom just adapted to use aosp apps. It still has the tw framework if you look in system files, so its file most likely won't work. Its an arse about face way to do it but it seems this is the root samsung has taken. Not really in the spirit of what a ge should be. I'm just greatful that we have such a talented dev working on aosp.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
well. it kinda is if you work on your own. the GE rom uses the whole TW framework but just "hidden". look at the size and you will notice.

but it might be the solution, but I prefer opensource code over static binaries/libraries of course :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Me Gusta:
Do kernels that work on cm10.2 work on this ROM BTW?

Me Gusta!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] expl0de:
Hi there, can you tell me how much ram this rom uses, just for comparisations with TW roms. I know how ram managment in android works, so no need explanations. But as it is stock I hope that apps are not so large, like in TW and even if everything is started, ram should be enough and not full.

I remember my old Htc Desire with 578mb ram and around 300 were in use.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pitastrudl:
should work imho

dude, theres plenty of ram on the gs4 so you dont need so much. i doubt that you're going to multitask between 10 apps at once :p. but yeah, this is aosp so more free ram and zero bloatware

GT-I9505 Google powered
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] expl0de:
Well, I dont want to have more free ram, but would be nice if all apps were loaded in the ram. In this case the rom will be much quicker. So the question is more if aosp will provide better performance using the advantage that more apps will be loaded in the same amount ram. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pitastrudl:
if you want performance and smooth rom its this one. if you want a bloated rom with a ****load of settings and bad pefromance, its TW. Regarding multitasking, it depends how the LMK is set in both roms and what are the oom values of the apps. my suggestion is to use the v6 supercharger to lower the lmk and bulletproof your apps which you dont want to be displaced from ram.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Me Gusta:
Flashing a custom kernel didn't work... Lost root and it didn't come back after flashing again in cwm.. It was KT aosp with the bright led mod

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Guys, I'm currently fixing all networks (the ones with the roaming icon), to see what networks are already fixed look here: https://github.com/AOSP-S4-KK/platform_frameworks_base/commits/kk-4.4

On request I will add your network, this is in the following format:

Your provider: MCC, MNC

Roaming provider: MCC, MNC

an example, this change I did at CM, which was requested by [MENTION=1828523]0kti[/MENTION]

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/56063/

"Users of Tesco Mobile in Ireland(MCC 272 MNC 11)

can roam on O2 Ireland (MNC 02)"

Next to this I hope to have full HSPA+ (H+) support in RC2 (and network selection is fixed)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Lol I find it funny he calls my rom custom and cm 11 stock? cm11 is the one who uses a custom implementation XD.

Anyways, I think we have a problem then. :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] c_brown93:
Waiting for RC2 :excited: ?

HSPA+ support will be awesome.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Here is a preview of RC2, though HSPA+ has not been added yet

>>> NON-OFFICIAL RELEASE!! <<<

Pre-RC2 changes:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] c_brown93:
Still need to flash audiopatch with this brood?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
No, it's the first change mentioned ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] c_brown93:
oops :facepalm:

thanks brood. testing now ?

Full wipe? or can I dirty flash?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] k4r70ng:
How is this roms battery life compared to tw? I have a note 2 now and battery life is worse on aosp roms compared to TW based ones. if the its better on aosp then i will prob buy a s4.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] c_brown93:
Is this failing for anyone else in recovery? I flashed and it fails.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mennpiko:
Works correctly the v6 BoosterPack the pre2?,Thanks .
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Sorry forgot to remove the assert (its in the zip, in META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script)

remove the upper line which is

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "jfltexx" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "jfltexx" || abort("This package is for \"jfltexx\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\"."););

Battery life is much better then on TW roms here. it depends how much you use it, but users have reported 6 hours of screen on time. which seems to be pretty good for a S4. also the drain on idle is very low ^^
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] farfromovin:
How's the broodplank app coming along?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] c_brown93:
Do I just unzip the package and edit the updater-script and then rezip the package and flash? Sorry Brood, not good with zips and editing files. haha.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Nothing so far XD

IF you edit on your pc you only have to open it and save it, and then it will prompt if you want to update it. on your phone you need to unzip it, change it and rezip it :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mike9055:
I'm on beta 13 it runs great, tried flashing rc1 several times but:

- my device won't reboot after flash (stuck on Samsung logo)

- i take off the battery

- boots successfully but phone acts weird, no network

- if i reboot i get stock on Android logo (triedro waiting a few mins)

- i restore a nandroid back to beta13

I tried dirty flash, wiping cache/dalvik, full wipe, doesn't work

Beta 13 is great anyway!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Try the latest version i posted (Pre-RC2). it has network fixes so maybe it fixes your problem
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] c_brown93:
Alright got it flashed. Went ahead and did full wipe. On new PreRC2, Plants vs Zombies 2 has this black flickering in the corner during the game. Didn't do that on RC1. Is it because surface dithering or kernel update. Any ideas broodplank?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Oh good that you noticed it. I really hope its surface dithering and not the kernel updates :P, will install the game and try it out (with and without surface dithering)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] c_brown93:
Thanks ☺

@broodplank1337

I think it is all gaming.

I tried Subway Surfers and it starting doing this. Character went black and music in game starting skipping.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
I just tried subway surfers and it didn't bug at all :o

That's strange.

do you have anything checked in developer options gpu part?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] c_brown93:
No. I unzipped PreRC2 and updated updater-script and zipped and flashed it with full wipe. Did you try Plants vs Zombies 2? Maybe I messed something up when I unzipped it. I used Root Explorer to do it. Idk.

And BTW brood, subway surfers worked perfect for me as as well until I died. Downloaded game and played it once fine and then died and replayed and that is when graphics and music started messing up.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Ok just tried plants vs zombies 2, and idd in the upper left corner there is a small black box flickering. I'm going to test whether its surface dithering now

edit: ok its not surface dithering..

edit2: when you install boosterpack v6 its fixed. so its the kernel....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] c_brown93:

@broodplank1337

So will RC2 have old kernel from RC1?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
I hope so to.

Well it depends. to be honest I find it quite hard to trace back.

check it yourself, its from: https://github.com/AOSP-S4-KK/platform_kernel_samsung_jf/commits/kk-4.4_new?page=2 (almost at the bottom: msm: vidc: Use min_dpb from resource tracker in smooth streaming mode)

until Fix Regressions because of overmap changes.

they all could be the culprit. and I don't know who it is :silly:
