Oh now its 1.6gbs i see you was still in the progress of uploading it... :) thanks, downloading now, and DW i never dirty flash unless i have to
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iB4STiD:
ya avoid dirty at all costs :)

I made a clean install and after this a backup of data from recovery. All are working perfect.

Thank you!!!

As usual great rom, but as usual everytime i update the rom i get overheating issues and as always i need to tweak around kernel, but this last one i cant find app to tweak kernel, can i get some help please.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] KenHua:
If you have many pictures and videos then you are likely to get thousands of thumbnails generated by the Samsung Media Service and stored in the .face and .thumbnails folders . It can cause the phone to heat up, behave laggy at times and drain battery more quickly. The problem is likely to go away after the initial process is over and reduced to maintenance mode. Your Kernel tweaking probably has nothing to do with solving the problem. The time you told to tweak the kernel allows the process to complete itself and gave you the illusion that the problem was solved as a result of tweaking. Just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sfynx1:
Hummm could be, but i dont notice any lags, only overheating, and also all 4 cores up all the time, hence the overheating, but i will let it settle for a couple of days and see if it stops overheating, thanks for the imput =)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] KenHua:
Try disabling the following system apps and see if your CPU reduced to 1 core at minimum freq most of the time:

Gallery; Photo Editor; Video Player; Samsung Video; Video.

If it does then it is quite obvious the scan activities are triggered by these apps. You will also see that the .face and .thumbnails folders stop growing. I use 3rd party apps in place of them. Deleting the two folders doesn't seem to cause any problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
Are you using any other kernel than what's included in ROM aroma. I'm using with Adam kernel and it's smooth as butter.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] KenHua:
I use Adam kernel (or talexop) kernel. They give me more consistent results. You can see the difference during the progress of some benchmark tests.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] oran3e1:
Amazing ROM, the simplicity is beautiful... Finally a ROM that isn't clogged with battery draining buggy features...

Its all about the battery baby, this ROM works perfect. No overheating issues here but then again I keep my phone monitored with A cleaner app, and I use greenify (highly recommended).

Facebook wouldn't load or log in at first but managed to fix itself, no problems, can't wait for more updates. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sfynx1:
Thanks m8, you were correct, as soon as i stopped gallery cores droped, funny was really convinced it was the kernel tweaking that stopped overheating lol, well no more overheating for me now, i use quickpic anyways =)

Thanks for everything :o

Great ROM [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION], been using it for a few months now,

Very stable and battery lasts a full day - 8 am to 12 pm with serious Clash Of Clanning periods. :cyclops:

You had some instructions on better battery life in the Q&A, but I see you removed it.

Turning off the Samsung gimmicks does save battery, right?

PS: It would be even cooler to be able to select which samsung apps to install in aroma. (-TripAdvisor,-StoryAlbum,-FlipBoard,-ChatOn)

Cheers!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
Great ROM with amazing battery, performance and stability. Not to mention the active dev. Here are some screenshots of battery.

I'm using zero lemon 3000 mah battery and the battery life is way better considering it's just 400mah more than stock battery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] zakkkkk:
After deleting the samsung stock gallery I can set home screen wallpaper but it won't let me set a lockscreen wallpaper, is there any way around this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] KenHua:
You can always enable the Gallery, set the lock screen wallpaper, and then disable it again as and when you wish.

Gallery is a useful app. It is a shame that Samsung think that it is a good idea to scrutinize all your pictures and videos frame by frame endlessly to generate hundreds of thousands of .face thumbnails as if anyone may need them. It heats up the phone, drain the battery, eat up your precise phone storage and slowdown the phone. I am glad to the developers here that allow us to root the phone and stop Samsung from doing such senseless things to our phone.

Is there an xposed app that can modify the speed for Notification panel when you pull it down?

I want to have it.like S5.. its smooth.. s4 notification panel is too fast
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] JJGLive:
Give us some more.. what kernel you using, what tweaks,, anything. Please
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
No tweaks at all. Only greenify and location off. Using Adam kernel, the one which is there in aroma.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] JJGLive:
That is absolutely amazing... I am already downloading as we speak
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] geevh:
Hi,

I'm having a small bug: contact names are no longer shown in call log and SMS history (both in HandCent and default messenger).

In call log, I see the names disappearing when I scroll fast, due to reformatting of the phone number (add spaces).

I must confess:

- I'm using previous version

- I didn't do full wipe coming from the version just before.

Does anyone know any easy tricks to resolve this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] KenHua:
The obvious answer is clean install but you may try clearing Contact Storage data in App manager. Make sure your contact sync to Google is current. Cheers,
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] geevh:
Cleaning data didn't help.

I solved it by re-adding the phone numbers of sms and call log to the existing contacts. A second number gets added and I deleted the first one. Then I have names in SMS and call log.

After flashing this rom, when would be the best time to flash Tylorw1 app installer? Straight after flashing rom without reboot or after 1 reboot or after restoring all user apps and data?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] oran3e1:
Amazing

Dude i love this ROM, amazing battery life, been using for a week or so now and there are 0 problems...

just checking, does this ROM have the latest Samsung updates?

and also PLEASE can you produce a 5.0 lollipop version when it comes out :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Soufiansky:
Can we flash an addon in this rom to get the same quick settings style as the S5 ? :rolleyes:

I really want to try it because everyone talk very nice about this rom :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iB4STiD:
glad ur enjoying it :good:

thanks man!.. this is the latest European fw.. and yes when i9505 gets lollipop i will be using in in this rom :good:

you could flash a s5 addon. of use my goldfinger rom :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Soufiansky:
[MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION] I can't find it in the goldfinger thread :(

And by the way , this rom is really great. So fast , even animations on ×1 don't slow it down . Battery life , first cycle of charge already very impressive. ( 2h 47min SOT and still have 50 % , 16h on battery)

I don't know how you do that but all your roms are great. Never had an issue with any of them.

Samsung need people like you , thank you so much !
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rickyy22:
here is the link of Goldfinger ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Soufiansky:
I mean the addon not the rom my friend :D

By the way goldfinger is an amazing rom :verygood: i want to came back to it but i'm afraid to lose the great battery life of goldenye with adam kernel :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] raffmann:
Ohh you are not going to lose anything my friend. After the first charge cycle on gf i got 5h of sot in 10h of phone usage. Best results i ever got, but i have to say that my battery is two weeks old:cool:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Soufiansky:
Mine is 7 months old but i really take care of it ( 1 charge a day , never used on charge )

So i will download the rom , the kernel you used is adam right mate ?

I really LOVE goldeneye :D but i love S5 style more !
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] raffmann:
Yes adam. Apparently i got very good results with imperium also but after two days i had big battery drain. And keep in mind i have cleaned all the bloatware. I have chosen slim without ant in aroma and after boot i have deleted more samaung apks( s voice, quick connect, s finder-wich consumes much ram ~50mb)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Soufiansky:
So time to came back to GF :D

Downloading is on 12% , i'm preparing to flash , just need to find a way to add "s finder and quick connect " to have a 100% S5 feel + the boot sound.

That's all , about bugs i'm not afraid because all [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION] roms are perfect ;)

Thanks mate , i appreciate :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] zakkkkk:
Using s5 keyboard and I have 3 languages enabled but on the spacebar there's no swype to change language. Is this a bug in the ported keyboard or how do I enable it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] oran3e1:
Im back!, came back from your Kangapop 2.0 as the battery was draining fast, will wait until improved :), other then that your 5.0 ROM is better and more stable then all of the others!

Thank you once again :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Soufiansky:
Guys i never had such great battery life ! This rom is amazing , the first time i will stick with a rom for more than 2 days haha :D

Thanks you [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION] !
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TuxBrothers:
Did a dirty flash from 48 to 49.2 and works perfect.

Thank you for this super amazing fluid, stable and fast rom!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] oran3e1:
Brace for impact... 5.0 touchwiz is coming :D

BTW still amazing ROM amazing battery life, 0 issues once again... Still feel the need to change ROM though
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TuxBrothers:
Well lets first see what tw5 brings.

I have a S5 as well but im not impressed by the gui of it.

I like more the tw4 interface. ..

i never had this problem on stock rom but I've had this sort of problem on all custom roms that after I do heavy multitasking the phone starts lagging even after I've cleared all apps. But after rebooting it's smooth again. What could be causing this lag?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lckh:
Anyone able to remove/disable samsung's watchon (video) app? I was able to in v47 but in 49.2 it doesn't seem to allow it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
Did you try deleting the apk using file manager with root access?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iB4STiD:
also u can remove watchon just like a playstore app :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iB4STiD:
thanks guys glad ur enjoying the rom :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] oMaRcO:
Guys, GPS working in this rom? I tried Nokia here, my GPS keep searching and not connecting . I updated my location with fastergps, and nothing change . Btw awesome rom, and smooth :D. Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] slugthru:
Yes, GPS is working, at least with google maps.

Possibly battery saving tweaks? how about you dont multitask as heavily?

Has anybody used alucards kernel with this rom, and how well does it work?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Harregukalerik:
I used alucard for a long time with goldeneye. Latest version is very good with v49.2 . Over 1 day battery and almost 5h on screen. So go ahead and try it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mrachni:
Before GE Rom maybe you were at stock rom?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iB4STiD:
nice, i will add his kernel next update, well if lollipop doesn't come first :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] seferon33:
Hi can i have link for this Kernel please. Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jchef:
Every time I leave this rom and try everything else out there, I end up right back here to enjoy stability, speed and battery life. Thanks again...

What's the best Kernel to use for Maximum battery life?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Soufiansky:
It depends on your usage , but based on my experience with this rom , i recommend adam kernel which is already in Aroma ( if i have a good memory ).

Just choose it while you are installing the rom , and wait for 2-3 cycles of charge :)

This is one of the best TW Roms in my opinion.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] atomfix:
Great thanks. I'm coming over from the Google Edition ROM. So I needed something more reliable with better battery life. Especially when I'm going abroad.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Soufiansky:
Trust me , this ROM will make you happy , don't hesitate , just flash ;)

HELP HELP HELP... flashed 49.2 and everything was fine until I accidentally restored system data instead of apps (wasn't paying attention I guess). So I was stuck on the flashing Samsung logo and to top it off, the phone didn't boot into recovery. So I flashed stock firmware (tried I337MVLUAMDJ and I337MVLUAMG1 from SamMobile.com) via ODIN (ODIN showed everything was fine and dandy)...now it's still stuck on the flashing Samsung logo.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I'm completely out of ideas at this point.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 012512:
I don't know if it is the phone itself or the apps having bugs on the rom.. Eventually my phone is reporting "bugs". I don't know where I can send it. I changed the kernel from alucard to imperium and as of now no bug reports are showing.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
Go to stock recovery and do a factory reset and restart the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ryderz17:
Tried and nothing...still stuck at the flashing Samsung logo

EDIT: HOLY POOP...I've tried it before and nothing....it worked now, guess the phone got tired of me dissecting it and swearing at it all day.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] atomfix:
Flashed the latest Imperium Kernel with this ROM. No problems to report. but extremely good battery life though! only losing 2% overnight.

I am running the GPU underclocked though, and I have undervolted it without problems. Running the CPU @ 1.56GHz also.

So I finally restored the phone and now running 49.2...with full reception, during a phone call, my bars vanish and it shows that I have no service. This is all while on a call so I obviously have service.

I'm on googy 1.2.1 kernal and MG1 baseband (used to run MDJ baseband up until my screw up and decided to update).

Any thoughts? Baseband vs kernal?

EDIT: Problem fixed (thus far)...the only remaining change was the baseband, so I updated the modem to (almost) the latest and greatest NE1 modem and everything went back to normal, and seems like the signal is nice and strong.

Help with "Call" Screen

This is not really a question about GoldenEye (which is a great ROM), but about a "new" Samsung(?) feature.

When I dial a number, I see for a few brief seconds, a small screen with the word "Call", and an underline underneath it.

Please, is there a way to take this off?

It is causing by bluetooth to fail to connect because it is taking an extra few seconds in the calling process.

P.S. I tried using another dialer (Truedialer), and it is still there.

Where does this come from? How do I take it off?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ryderz17:
Just thought I'd update on the performance...

ROM: GE49.2 ROM

KERNAL: Googy 1.2

BASEBAND: I337MVLUANE1

PROVIDER: Fido (Rogers) Canada

>>> 22HRS of regular usage

>>>>>> 62% Battery (38% Consumed)

In conclusion: Awesome, extremely smooth, and glitch free ROM (as always). With the newer Googy kernal (vs 1.8) everything is just perfect; now that I added the new NE1 baseband to the mix, the reception/data is super strong and fast (way way way better than before). Never had this kind of battery life before as well, so strongly recommend this combo for any user (at least us Fido/Rogers guys).

thanks everyone ..

i wanted to thank everyone for all the support and kind words since late april of 2013!! i have got to know alot of great people here, and it has been a pleasure making roms for the galaxy s4 thro out that time! :good:

it all started with mdob followed by goldeneye to kangabean, many late nights were spent making and updating these roms, but i had alot of fun, i really did! and interacting with my users was the best part i have to say!!

i have sold my i337 a while ago, in an attempt to give me the ability to have a true unlocked bootloader, the replacement which is 2 months old has had issues out of the box, tmobile wont cover it since its not a tmobile device, which i understand! its my fault not theirs!

so, i will have to stop development, i apologize to all my users, but theres not much i can do! and i have tried! if there is anyway i can get this fixed, i will let u guys know asap!!

i will keep all threads open, and try to help out as much as i can!. so i will be around no worries there :)

again guys thank u for all your support, i will try to get this sorted!
