[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Guys, I am considering the following:

AOSP Gaming Edition / broodROM

I want to create a little brother for AOSP, which is a version that is optimized for gaming / performance. Of course it is based on my AOSP kitkat but a bit stripped down. It would include an OC/UV (CPU/GPU) Linaro Kernel with optimized Bionic / Dalvik (so pimped boosterpack), and next to that, it uses old EGL for better performance, has built-in control over cpu/gpu oc/uv, has built in memory cleaners, has init.d scripts and much more tweaks. Also I would make some modifications like adding advanced reboot and such.

So long story short, It may be less smooth than the original AOSP but is aiming for 29-30k scores and awesome performance in 3d games.

Next thing that I haven't decided yet, is whether this should become a "AOSP Gaming Edition" or just broodROM. And most certainly I know that making this requires some more people (not absolutely required but preferred by me).

If enough people are interested I think I will launch this project.

Want to work with me on the new ROM:

If anyone feels he could help me with making the rom (you need average skills of android, github, java, shell script and c/c++ beginner skill (like me)) please apply! If I find a team of people I will most likely continue this, if I find no one I think I abandon it for now (since it's too much work with managing AOSP as well)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] diddly3000:
I would love a brood ROM with custom tiles center clock and battery percentage circle. HEAVENLY haha ?????
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
does that mean that the current rom is not developed and instead it will only give the new gamerom? I would find very bad!

exactly the strict AOSP without oc / uv, etc. convinced me in this rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ChaoticUnreality:
He said it would be based off this rom so I doubt he would stop developing it.

I would be interested in a more custom version but not really for gaming just tweaks/customization but I get most of the things I want with Xposed/Gravity Box.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
No of course not, it's just a side project, like my custom rom. I will never abandon AOSP (as long as I have the s4). I like the scrict aosp as well ;) else I would have never done so much work to get this working properly.

dont worry :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] logiko89:
Personally I don't play that much with my S4, so i prefere a rock solid ROM, to be later modified with Xposed

I wouldn't add anything that already add Gravitybox and such

I would rather include boosterpack, linaro kernel, superSU, system backup scripts, Google dialer, Working photosphere from GPE, Nexus 5 bootanimation, Nexus 5 Launcher, and some controls over the CPU and the GPU... i don't think that anyone could be hurted from such things if they work in the proper way :D

My idea of AOSP is of course the pure AOSP, but since we are very lucky to have a counterpart phone that already provides some things that are not included in the AOSP, why not adding them?

Why not stealing something from GPE Roms?

The most important thing is to improve the user experience, it's not a challenge with oneself to keep the ROM 100% AOSP :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Fouad Aslam:
I am very exited about the possibility of a Brood Rom. Just a suggestion, I think that a Brood Rom with some very useful customizations would be an awesome addition to your excellent work. Many people use Xposed and Gravity box just for battery %age, custom tiles and extended reboot like stuff. A Brood Rom would eliminate this need, provide the customization and still keep the smoothness and performance of your AOSP goodness. I would suggest that the customizations not be linked with a "Gaming" Rom; in that people who would would love them wouldn't have to opt for the lesser smooth experience like you say. Let there be a Brood Rom to accompany your main Rom. Maybe the gaming optimizations can be had via some special kernel or booster pack or flashable zip, so that people who prefer gaming performance over everyday smoothness can make that choice?

I do not have any programming skills otherwise would have gladly helped.

Thanks for all the efforts you put into your "love project", it makes a lot of people very happy:good::good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lither:
I think this should be included in the normal AOSP ROM which can give people better battery life by underclocking and undervolting, I'm not a fan of playing heavy games but do sometimes play games like Temple Run to past time
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] fedef12evo:
man if you will break 30k+ on antutu with broodROM i will love you forever, pls do this :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DragonHunt3r:
Brood, I got a small problem over here with the RC-2, the performance actually dropped in some games for example "Jetpack Joyride"

The FPS is like between 3-10, with the RC-1 I had no problems with game performance but now it's just getting bad :crying:

Re-booted couple of times and clean rom install, didn't help with Rc-2

Secondly, I can code in C++ it is my first language but I'm having real basic understanding of making actual changes in the android sources, I know where somewhat everything is and I can compile

I'm also from the Netherlands ^.^
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Masami1975:
Are you sure that boosterpack fixes compass?? Brood, before starting an amazing Aosp gaming rom do you plain to relase the "final" for your amazing 1st rom?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lither:
Antutu scores doesn't really matter, you can get over 40K+ by raising the thermal limit
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] fedef12evo:
im talking about legit score with stock frequencies
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jerkysh:

Following up after a clean install of RC2 with BoosterPack v7... Still the same issue: it's able to authenticate, but not connect.

Even worse now, is that the phone won't let me turn Bluetooth off. When I try to turn it off, it ends up turning itself back on magically. To get it to shut off, and stay off, I have to hit the switch, then yank the battery in the timeframe that BT is "turned off".

Also, on occasion, I'm getting a hang at the "Samsung Custom" (bootloader) screen right as the phone is turning on. It's clearable and begins working normally again, but only after I go into recovery, backup, wipe /system, /data, and /cache, then reflash the whole lot and advanced-restoring /data only.

Both of these issues are new to RC2; I had no problems on RC1.

Yup. This exact issue.

[MENTION=4354408]broodplank1337[/MENTION] If you could add a gpu voltage control for low/nominal/max to the normal AOSP it would be great. Doesn't even need to include a app or part in the settings for use, trickstermod should be able to set the values, too.

I cannot confirm this: Just drove with my car (BMW 5er F10) and everything has worked (using RC2 with boosterpack, dirty flash over Beta 10). The car is even able to read SMS. Phone Book, call lists, everything is OK.

I'd make sure that the phone is connected correctly to the car. After a fresh install, I delete all BT-connetions in the car and connect the phone again. After a dirty flash, it just works as before.

I hope you have connected the phone via handsfree - rSAP is not supported in Android. There's an rSAP-App from Chainfire in the Play Store, though.

The difference is that for handsfree, you connect your phone to the car. With rSAP, you connect your car to your phone.

Reverted to RC2 and all is normal again.

Wifi was stuck in disabling, bluetooth also.

Connections could not be made anymore. etc.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DuckMcQUack:
Compass also gets broken after boosterpack for what i've read in the past posts. Can someone confirm these bugs?

Moreover: It seems that the stuck at boot issue returns after installing xposed framework. Can the things be related?

Hi Duck,

Broodplank said few posts back that stuck at boot is related to all KK versions. Sometimes happen, sometimes not.

i'm on beta 13 and i'm perfectly fine

I tried flashing RC1 and RC2:

- wiping cache and dalvik

- without wiping cache and dalvik

With both my phone doesn't work properly anymore, i lose Playstore, i think some app like launcher force closes, phone unusable

I don't want to try a factory reset cause my phone runs so good on beta 13, would that be the right way?

Which wifi fix do you mean? I have tried everything, reflash the MKE modm and wifi-fix or the mke,

During the newest Modem installation I also flashed the new LTE modem. This has damaged the bootloader.

Only the MGA wififix will repair this.

Now my sound is back again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Brotuck:
You have to flash the latest bootloader for sound to function correctly.

What i did was

- make a full cwm backup

- turn off phone

- flash with odin the entire sammyrom ml1

- flash cwm in odin

- restore cwm backup

Optional flash rc2 and gapps again.

- done

at AnTuTu I have reached a value of 27472.

have the kernel config completely left on standart and not changed.

for battery life I can not say yet. I submit then but.

Hi broodplank,

I am following your thread since a while and I think I'll give your rom a try in the next couple of days :)! I am impressed by your hard work indeed!

I am quite used to code but not familiar with Android world, so I am just curious to know what are the actual differences between ASOP and GE roms.

My understanding is that ASOP should be fully open source whereas GE use other (private?) repositories (fork of ASOP ones?), proprietary codes and so on. So what about drivers and hardware related optimisations? Do you use the same drivers of GE rom or other versions?

In term of overall performances, is there a reason for which GE roms are usually faster (at least according to benchmark) than ASOP ones? Maybe vendor optimised drivers?

Thanks and good job man!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] broodplank1337:
Thanks. the difference between GE and AOSP is that AOSP is actually AOSP, but GE is just AOSP + touchwiz framework which makes it way heavier and adds all kinds of very poorly implemented way to making things work. it's really to sad to even talk about, samsung implemented like a daemon for every separate function they had to deal with, and also uses very lame techniques to fix problems (that still happen but just silently get ignored), its really a shame for samsung if you compare their "professional GE rom created by REAL DEVELOPERS" to my AOSP that i made on my own. Samsung had been able to do a good thing, instead they screwed the whole clean aosp up.

And I use the proprietary libs that are needed, I can't go without em, but I use as many libs compiled from source as possible. the biggest "optimization" in their system is the benchmark booster which does live undervolting in order to get higher scores. I mean if there are new libs from for example Adreno then I say ok thats a real patch! If samsung brings out new libs it's almost always to cover up another function they "mysteriously" put away in the system. believe me samsung makes no performance patches, only cheats to fake a high score.

When running GE you are running a lie actually, if you run AOSP you're running a real system thats compiled from source. just try and feel the difference, I think you will be happy to use AOSP ;)

IT is AOSP so of course not like CM XD:P

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ReX83:
Thanks! Everything make sense now ;)!

I didn't know about these fake performance boosters to trick benchmarks.

And how about CM11? I tried CM11 nightly and tbh I found it slower than 4.4.2 GE (poor scrolling)? How is it possible?

Following up again! This time, I didn't flash BoosterPack v7. Dirty flashed over my existing RC2+BP installation.

Still no dice in my Mercedes. Authenticates fine, but will not connect. Tested it in a B8 Audi A5 and a 2013 Audi Q5; no issues in either, so I'm chalking the fault up to Mercedes.

The issue with turning BT off have vanished. No more hanging, no more hiccups. As has the hang on bootloader. Something seems to be a bit fishy there, as many others have said. Peculiar thing is that I had no wifi issues.

Thanks ;) And luckily my study starts in 2 months, then I am not dependent on a job in order to get some cash (you get a small salary here if your on a school, not much but enough).

And yes I remember you said that, I have also had something a bit like that what you describe, sometimes the system needs a few days to settle it almost seems. it's not very logical tbh. but hey many things in life are not logical :silly:

You're welcome.

Yes samsung has a few (poor) tricks under it's sleeves

There are many reasons why that could happen at CM11. you should try this rom and then compare it.

Thanks for the feedback, hope I can find some specific commits for Mercedes :good:

hang in bootloader is damn annoying and it will stay like that for a while I think (unfortunately). and good that the other problems are fixed for you

Yes (if it doesn't boot let me know :silly:)

Great you're experiencing the same :) glad to hear that :laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Fouad Aslam:
