Hi [MENTION=4054594]lidroid[/MENTION] , just a thought. would it be possible to "de bloat" the samsung camera app ? it takes so long to load sometimes.

is this thred dead??? :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] webmanya:
Not really. But as far as I can see Lidroid is mostly working on his site (which is all in Chinese by the way) and leaves XDA for late updates.

Enough with the explanations. Thanks to Google translate I get my hands on the latest version (and if its not OK to link or Share this please delete my post and accept my apologies).

1-) http://bbs.lidroid.com/t-376019-1-1.html this is the release page. As you can see it was released on December 3rd and version 1.6.1, Based on XXUEMJ9.

If you use Google Translate you will see the change log.

Installation bit is still in Chinese but in my opinion not different than here.

One important thing is don't change the kernel because of ROOT issues.

2-) Download links:

http://dl.lidroid.com/i9500/lidroid-official-i9500-v1.6.1.zip

3-) As I'm writing this post I'm downloading the ROM for Flashing. So please don't ask me anything about it. TRY ON YOUR OWN RISK. I will share my experience eventually.

Thank you lidroid and again I don't mean any disrespect by sharing I just thought its OK. If not again I'm sorry.

P.S. I forget to mention site may need registration for viewing the page about the release. Not for the downloads though.

P.S. The change log According to the Google Tranlate:

Try using the lidroid's CWM recovery. Its some where in this thread.

Remember it is based on XXUEMJ9. If your firmware newer you will need to downgrade.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] rafieric@gmail.com:

There is an OTA file. I don't know if it will help. Because I didn't find any information about the error you are facing on the Chinese thread. I downloaded the ROM but haven't got time to flash so can't help you yet. Try the OTA and see if it helps.

OTA File. http://pan.baidu.com/s/1iphq1
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] webmanya:
Lidroid 1.70

Alright people new version; 1.70 is here.

I have downloaded it and flashed it this time.

First you need is ZCUEML1 firmware. It is for China but I tried it and works fine in Turkey so guess it will work with your place too.

Ok step by step Flashing:

1. Flash the ZCUEML1 firmware via Odin.Download Firmware

a) Site is in Chinese but the right button at the bottom leads to download so don't worry.

b) Let it boot after flashing.

c) If you face errors get in to the original recovery by pushing volume up + home + power buttons and select factory reset and delete cache.

d) Restart system and let it boot normally without setting up any acoounts or information.

e) shut down your device.

2. Enter Download mode by pushing volume down+home+power.

3. Flash the CWM 6.0.4.5 via Odin.

4. Download and flash the Lidroid 1.70 in Recovery. From here or here

5. Select English in Aroma installer.

6. Keep delete data option.

7. Select the apps you want to install

8. Select English as CSC or Chinese what ever suits you.

9. After installation reboot normally.

It is Multilingual so don't worry about your language.

I have followed these steps and flashed the ROM without any errors.

The only issue I faced was after boot I had to enter my google account again ( I don't know why but it wasn't there after boot) but it was normal after that.

There are some Chinese apps. Original Samsung Apps and everything seems fine.

P.S: Flash at your own risk as usual. I don't accept any responsibilities. If you don't know what you are doing don't do it. Don't change the Kernel it comes with. Don't install xposed frame work due to the conflicts with the current theme system.

Enjoy.

Change Log: (According to Google Translate)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] webmanya:
Hello again people. This time it's the latest version of Lidroid v.1.80 and it is based on MK9.

http://www.lidroid.com

!!!WARNING!!!

Flash at your own risk as usual. I don't accept any responsibilities.

If you don't know what you are doing don't do it.

Don't change the Kernel it comes with.

Don't install xposed frame work due to the conflicts with the current theme system.

Here are the steps you need to follow:

1. Flash the MK9 firmware and CWM via Odin. If you don't have it already.

2. Download the Lidroid 1.80.

a) Download the ROM from here or from Google Drive mirror​

b) To download from the site click on the link in red box.​

c) When the small window opens click on the link in red box again and your download will start.​

d)Transfer the downloaded (lidroid-official-i9500-v1.8.zip) file to your phone.​

3. Get in to the recovery.

4. Do a full wipe

5. Flash the ROM

4. Select English in Aroma installer.

6. Keep delete data option.

7. Chose if you want to flash the MK9 modem or not.

8. Select the apps you want to install

9. After installation reboot normally. If CWM asks for root fix choose no

Here is my experience about it with my 4 days of using this the ROM;

It is Multilingual so don't worry about your language.

It is fast.

Very battery friendly. (Keep in mind I'm using Zerolemon extended battery the big one.) But on my previous ROM with my usage I usually left with 60 or 70% but with Lidroid I'm left with 85% at the end of the day.

It didn't get hot while my usage but keep in mind that I didn't played any games. Just calls, youtube, music, whatsapp, browsing etc...

I didn't install any 3rd party browsers so I don't know if it has flash or not.

It has some hidden gems like before. For example;

a) you can lock your screen by touching top right edge of the screen.​

b) you can look at you task manager with a special swipe up from home button

​

c) if you touch the left top edge of the screen it acts like the home button. If you tocuh while on different screen it will take you to home screen, if you touch twice it will open S voice. If you touch it on home screen it will open the fancy task manager. If you touch and hold it will open the original task manager.​

You can use lots of themes for UI, icons or just battery icon.

If you long press home on lockscreen it opens flashlight. You can change this via Lidroid Settings app. By the way it has lots of options in there.

Like you can adjust the status bar color and transparency etc...

It is stable, I didn't face any bugs or lag. No complaints about the sound. Everything seems to be working nicely.

If you find anything please share.

These are my findings. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

All credits to the right full owners; lidroid and others who participated.

Enjoy...

Thanks a lot! Seems its smth very interesting:good:

Whats the difference between full and lite?

And any mirrors plzzzz ??
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] webmanya:
I don't have any mirrors. I'll try to make one but I guess lidroid doesn't want mirros. Only link for the full one at the moment is the one I mentioned before.

For the difference unfortunately I don't know. I didn't flashed it and couldn't find any information about. But my guess is it could be something like an OTA update or the strip down version without the bloatware. Your guess is as good as mine :-$

I found the information about the mini or lite version. It is without the Google services and apps.

I can only talk about the full version and it is something worth looking.

********************************

I'm uploading to my Google Drive at the moment. But it will take some time not much though.

For the clock as I said I didn't find any options to make it centered.

I don't use it so it doesn't a concern for me.

I already talked about my experience on my posts just a couple before.

It is fast. Very battery friendly. And very stable. Didn't face any lags or connection problems. No random reboots. For me best TW ROM. Try it yourself and decide.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] polarworks:
interesting ROM, what is the diferente in 1.5.1 to 1.8? this ROM incluid The GAPPS?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] wooptarik:
Smearing is there (ON black background) , guess can't fix without custom kernel. Center clock is no big issue indeed, great release keep up the good work
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] wooptarik:
Thanks for the info, the only downfall of the app is power consumption. The smearing only appears with white text on completely black background (ex titanium backup menu) it won't appear on Samsung ui since they changed black to dark grey on all their screens since mf8. It's a well known issue with the new amoled turning pixels off completely but lagging when turning them back on. I'll see how much battery drain screen adjuster causes and report back.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] webmanya:
I hope it helps. As I said I didn't realise that really. But after looking closely I can see what you are saying. But again it doesn't bother me that much to do something about it. :p

I guess I'm just indifferent about such things :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] red.Wood:
What a nice ROM. Very fast, and the things you can change are pretty good, lots of options.

I am not sure why this hasn't been noticed before, but it's definitely worth installing.

Question...?

Hey..am on 4.2.2....can i flash this rom or i have to use odin? yes OP has direction but my phone cant connect to Odin Pc.....

other way to install MK9 base?

cheers
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] webmanya:
You can do that inside the Lidroid Settings app no need for xposed.

Just change the "Status bar transparency". I used it set to the left fully.

Yes you can. But you need to select flash MK9 radio in Aroma installer. You are good to go.

I recommend using CWM as the Custom Recovery. Don't for get to wipe everything before flashing.

########################################

As for these Odin questions guys please read my post more carefully.

I didn't mentioned anything about that this ROM can be flashed via Odin.

I wrote if you don't have a MK9 base and a Custom Recovery you will need Odin.

Other than that you can flash this ROM as you would flash any other custom ROM.

This ROM is not suitable for Odin.

Lidroid Updated the first post to version 1.80. But it is based on MK9.

For the kitkat 4.4.2 version no news I'm afraid.

I don't think it will take too long but it will take some time for Lidroid to port all the goodies to kitkat 4.4.2.

I'm looking forward for any news and I'll post any updates I get my hands on if Lidroid forgets us again.
