I get an error as installation aborted. I'm re-downloading rom on 4share. Its about 329MB right ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] ophirb:
Nice looking rom. Nice graphics and sony looks.

With that said, it suffers from the same problems aosp 4.3 roms for s4 suffer.

1. Camera doe not work.

2. Focal fc

3. Horrible call sound. Distorred and un clear.

4. Freezes

However it does look promising.

Will wait for a more stable version.

Thanks for the rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] tugberk27:
I flash again and see "Installation complete" after that flash gapps and reboot. I'm waiting for 15 mins now :)

Thank you bro

Mega doesn't need login to download na.??
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] vinireshmi:
hey adi,

nice looking rom but a bit unstable if i may say so. I did install the rom as per ur guidelines and even waited a whole 30 mins before starting.

1) The phone reboots randomly for unknown reason. (Might be the cm bug)

2) The call quality is as if speaking to a robot on the other side, not that great.

3) The focal camera just fc's even after clearing data and cache.

4) In the xperia launcher quick setting widgets , the nfc, the gps and the wifi hotspot settings always seems to force close.

All in all a rom with amazing potential. Hope this helps.

Looking forward.

and last but not the least thanks for the rom.

appreciate all the hard work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Adi Shakthi:
Regarding cal quality:

Use audio fx widget only when an headset/external speakers are connected don't keep it active all the time

Since Samsucks :eek: given an very good speakers in phone it doesn't tollarate adis DTS theory of audio.....

This will clear issues related to distortion of phone speakers

Nfc and gps are known bugs of Xperia ported launcher try to avoid the to shortcuts....

And random boots some are got no random reboots....

And focal I hope this will be sorted soon.....

Did any graphical glitches present in Rom??

If yes we have an fix for that:D

[MENTION=301180]adi[/MENTION]

your work is highly appreciated.

I am using gs4 I9500 MODEM XXUBMG9

Few things i noted, i Flashed 3-4 times and tried everything and giving my feedback.

Camera opens but don't work. Tried everything, it dont click.

Focal cam don't even open, tried new link provided also.

Mp3 quality is Normal, i think stock ROM have better quality, may be i am missing something, used stock Samsung Earphones

Warnings, keyboard and interface resembles the elegance of MIUI V5 ROM.

Flash ROM as per ADI'S guidelines otherwise one or other things will be buggy.

:good:Interface is so lovely it feels like seeing the mobile without any work.:good:

Call Quality is just average, sometimes it give disturbance , sometime echo and one or other button keep on pressed by touch of ear.

Open settings, and you will be bombarded with hell lot of customisation:good:

I like the ROM and waiting for its beta stage. I'd love to use this ROM with such a great features.

Thanks a lot

Keep it going

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Adi Shakthi:
Yes I would like to comment on your feed back

And am asking don't feel bad if I hurted you with my comments ...am extremely sorry for it but no offense

What I feel is you need an medical check up of your ear...... This is due to in world you are only called my Rom sound as normal mp3 quality even I know Xperia honami i1 will never be able to compite in front of my DTS audio included in rom.....

You shaked my base in your normal mp3 quality....

Second miui5 has copied Xperia honami i1

Since this key board is ported by me from Xperia honami i1

Except 2 points I really love your comments.....

Keep good things

2) May be you see some glitches in Drawer.

3) Will see few FCs of application.

4) Will heat a lot like Samsung TW.

5) Few Application may be installed in TW too.

[Microsoft Surface] lambstone:
Does anyone know if there is any way to use the Surface RT with an external battery pack?

I know there are surface RT compatible powerbanks on sale right now but those are really expensive!

Afaik, the surface charges with 12V whereas USB ports output at 5V.

The only difference that I can tell is that the power output is different. This should just result increased charging times but should not have any safety issues at all.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
If you aren't aware what a difference between 12v and 5v means in electronics, you probably shouldn't be giving advice like "should not have any safety issues at all". I mean, you're probably right in this case (though only "probably") but if you think that voltage = power output, it's only by sheer luck.

To answer your actual question, I am not. However, I strongly advise against simply... experimenting with this sort of thing on your own. You could easily start an electrical fire, damage your tablet, or do one of many other unpleasant things.
[Microsoft Surface] lambstone:
Yeah, I know the basics of electrical physics. Not a complete speculating noob.

P=IV

Power of a 5V 2.1A is 10.5w

The original power adapter supplies 12V at 2A = 24w

My physics may be rusty but, I was under the impression that it would still charge at lower power output albeit half as fast. I've read that the RT when using the 48W charger would still charge at the same rate as the 24w. This means that the current that is drawn by the surface rt is capped at 2A. Hence, I believe that there would be any significant issues with drawing 2A from a charger that is designed to output 2A anyway though at a lower voltage.

If I'm still wrong here, would love some clarification.
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
The wattage is not of concern. The voltage and current must be treated independently. Also, consider that you are trying to charge a 7.4v battery from a 5v supply, the current will not flow from the 5v to the 7.4v (assume old electrical flow not real electron flow), it will end up doing the opposite, 7.4v flowing towards the 5v.

So lets say you step up the 5v to 12v, there is inefficiency in doing that. To get 12V @2A you would not be drawing 5v @2A, you would more likely be drawing 5V @4 or 5A.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
As 6677 says, the Voltage and current (and not the power) are what matters. Power (Wattage) is a derived value (and you correctly gave the derivation); it's handy for making comparisons when certain core assumptions are valid but meaningless on its own. In this case, the core assumptions are *not* valid: not all chargers are producing the same Voltage.

To take another example of where assuming all Watts are created equal would get you in trouble, consider an incandescent light bulb. Light bulbs are rated in Watts because incandescent bulbs operate by turning electrical power (Watts) into heat (also measurable in Watts) via resistive filaments that can only dissipate a limited amount of heat. Thus, a 60W bulb has a filament designed to dissipate 60W of heat. However, since power is a derived value, let's look at what it actually means: In the USA (mains run at about 120V) we can use Ohm's Law: P=I*V; V=I*R, so I=V/R, so P=V*V/R=V^2/R, so R=V^2/P. Therefore, the resistance of a 60W bulb in the USA is (120^2)/60=2*120=240 Ohms. Cool. Now, let's take that 60W bulb from the USA and connect it to European mains. It should still consume 60W of energy and produce the same amount of light, right? After all, it says "60W" right on the box! Hmm... but European mains run at 240V. The resistance doesn't change; it's a physical property of the filament. So, using P=V^2/R, we get P=240*240/240=240W That's four times as much as the bulb is meant to handle; it will flash very brightly (much brighter than normal) and burn out instantly! The bulb isn't defective, it just wasn't made to handle 240V. The "60W" on the box is based on an assumption of 120V; the bulb itself does nothing to ensure that it only consumes 60W.

While the basics of Ohm's Law will equip you to understand things like I describe above, it is *not* enough (by itself) to make assumptions about complex electronics. Even a 101-level electrical engineering course will make that abundantly clear; there are many more forces at play in the world of electronics than the familiar and relatively-easily-understood Voltage, current, resistance, and power.
[Microsoft Surface] lambstone:
Thanks guys for clearing the air. Man, I thought it would have been possible to jerry rig a Surface Charging USB cable to be used with battery packs.

So from what I understand, to avoid unnecessary complications, it would be best to find a way to supply 2A @ 12V. Obviously finding a power supply that natively does so is most ideal. But there is an alternative of stepping up the voltage from 5V to 12V with will lead to losses due to conversion inefficiency which basically rules this out.

12V Power Bank

I found a 12V 2.5A external battery pack listed above. This seems to work doesn't it? It has a 12V output with a max draw of 2.5A. The Surface RT draws a maximum of 2A from your power source. I can simply splice the provided cables with the Surface Charging Cable and it sounds to me it'll work.

Since the Surface RT is reported to have a 31.5Wh battery, this battery pack seems to have a 78Wh battery making it rather ideal.
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
If it is indeed 12V @2A or more then yes, it should charge an RT

Use a power gorilla I use one for my macbook pro and other usb items
[Microsoft Surface] sumcanyon:

On all xperia play optimized games a leave a review on the store and thank and encourage Kemco to continue support of our phone. I know their games are not CPU/gpu intensive but our phone is 2 1/2 years old since it's release. So I think continuing to thank and encouraging them that we.

This is for the international version. Flashing this to your device will almost certainly result in a brick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] atari800:
I am not sure this is a good idea. The "drive" in the Samsung Galaxy S4 is (like) an SSD as it supports TRIM.

There is a lot of open/update/close/delete going on which leaves lots of data to purge.

Lets say I write to a file called TEMP.TXTthe word hello. On the drive it writes this (simplified):

Drive *=in use/valid x=invalid but not purged e=empty

[*****eee][eeeeeeee]

Data:

[hello]

Now if I go and update TEMP.TXT to and change hello to seeya, it now looks like this:

Drive *=in use/valid x=invalid but not purged e=empty

[xxxxx***][**eeeeee]

Data:

[seeya]

So it doesnt update the block of data because it is "too expensive" performance-wise so it writes to a blank space.

*Expensive is read the data in that block, format/blank out the block, modify the buffer for the new data, write to block

*its always fastest to write to an empty block

On occasion, the drive will initiate a garbage collection stage which takes the invalidated areas of the drive and sets them back to blank

*Google TRIM SSD for in-depth SSD functionality

SSD are overprovisioned(OP) on purpose for performance reasons and longevity. This means if there is a 128 gig drive, it advertises 120 gig drive. The OP is like guaranteed blank area.

Now when the drive gets 85% full or more, it has that 8 gig read/write/update/delete available still and performance is still great

If you remove the OP and use the entire 128 gig, as it gets 85% full and more, the performance of the drive reduces as it is reading/writing/deleting to areas that are not blank so the drive tells the OS to wait while it gets the area ready and then the phone feels sluggish

I purchased android turner application and this has aTRIM feature. I scheduled that to run every 3 hours and it reports it clears anywhere from 24 meg to 3.89 gig. I let my buddy check out my phone to check out a game, and he goes "wow everything on your phone is so fluid". He has a Galaxy Note 2
