i dont have kitkat launcher, i have the 4.3 launcher, why? :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
Just install the Google Experience Launcher yourself. It's only available on certain devices.
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
Because the KitKat launcher is exclusive to the Nexus 5. If you want it, you'll have to sideload the APK manually.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
Framework replacement to get rid of the home-button lag: DOWNLOAD

Long press for multitasking (nothing assigned to double-click(

NOTE: Google Now does not open any longer from long pressing the Home Button!)

)
[Galaxy S 4 General] fedef12evo:
cant install app from sd card because of the bug of security setting :confused: another way to install this launcher?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
Well, you would need root or custom recovery like CWM.

Root:

Just download root explorer and place the google experience launcher .apk under /system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r--.

For cwm you need to create an updater-script (won't do it right now, but there are guides available).
[Galaxy S 4 General] dandroid13:
Hmmm, random reboot after enabling ART, no exFAT support... I think I'll wait to jump back to KitKat. :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
Google Experience Launcher: DOWNLOAD

Just flash via CWM or other custom recovery.

In order to get the "Ok, Google"-thing to work just follow this guide: http://phandroid.com/2013/11/14/how-to-install-google-experience-launcher-with-ok-google-command/

Boots into stock launcher, but just open the apk drawer once and press the home button - just select Home (or whatever it is called) and remember to check the "Always"-option.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BestMixtape:
Thanks update worked out for me, and Switched to ART without any issues. Although, I now can't uninstall any apps. When I try to do so, it does a soft reboot and the app is not removed when it boots back up.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jasunto:
can someone post the calculator apk from the JWR66Y, mine fails verifiying it and may have changed with kit kat apps while on 4.3 and i tried to extract from a 4.3 rom and it still didnt verify, its the only thing holding up the sideload.
[Galaxy S 4 General] bungadudu:
Yeah.. strange but annoying bugs.. - fc in security so can't install from unknown sources and soft reboot when trying to uninstall.

Art is running great though..
[Galaxy S 4 General] yankoscage:
Not true...

As long you come from ported 4.3 UNTOUCHED GE from MaKTaiL it would be possible to flash the packed OTA from Toss3:

[Galaxy S 4 General] nielsscholte:
I fixed it! First flash the GPE 4.3 rom and enable unknow sources. After that 'dirty flash' the kk 4.4 rom and you're good to go!
[Galaxy S 4 General] yankoscage:
What did u fix? FC on security or install from unknown sources?

For the later I'd call it a workaround not a fix.
[Galaxy S 4 General] nielsscholte:
Install from unknown sources and you're right it's more a workaround but for now it's nice
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
One thing I'm noticing about the KitKat update for the GS4 is that the data indicator shows 3G rather than H when connected to HSPA+. This is unique to the GS4 and possibly the HTC One because I know for a fact that the KK ROMs on every Nexus device shows H on HSPA+ and only shows 3G in the rare instance that you're connected to UMTS with no HSPA+.

In not sure if it's intentional or not, but I do actually like that since HSPA+ really is a 3G+ technology even though it was marketed around the world as 4G.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mvtm:
Can i flash this KRT16S to my I9500DDUEMJ9 (4.3) GS4?

Thanks for the heads up
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
Nope.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mvtm:
Why?

It completely bricks? I thought these builds would have more in common. All right, it's like trying to put a i9505 firmware into a i9500. No no....

So the best thing i can do is wait. Thanks for your quick reply.
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
Basically these builds only work on I9505G. The reason it won't work on your I9500 is a) it has a completely different processor, b) it doesn't support LTE, c) it has a completely different partition structure and d) it has a different bootloader.

It's been asked a thousand times and the answer is always the same. The GPE GS4 ROMs only work on a GPE GS4. The end. If you want to run the Google Experience ROM, you have to use a custom ROM based on it. There is no known method (and there almost certainly never will be) of getting the stock factory GPE ROM onto anything other than a GPE GS4.

Sorry if I'm a little short, but this question has been asked so many times, including a few times in this thread. No matter how many times the question is asked, the answer is always the same. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] mvtm:
Thanks to you for your response :)

It cleared up all my question in a precise and concise way. Perfect!

Sorry for asking the most probably common asked question you answered a million times, just was KitKat hungry. :D

Completely right, my i9500 is a different kind of beast...

Current Issues with GT-I9505 after modded OTA patch

A few noted issues with the GT-I9505 after upgrading to 4.4 with modded OTA patch.

Charging - When device is off, instead of battery charge animation it boots up. (Possible new feature with 4.4)

Settings - Mobile Networks -

VPN

- Crashes

Settings -

Security

- Crashes

Continuous restarts - Device randomly restarts
[Galaxy S 4 General] slikr:
100% accurate. experienced all of those. went back to 4.3.
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
I'm not experiencing any of those. That's strange. Did you try a data wipe?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Blakepnewman:
Is your phone GPE or International variant?

Here's my install process:

Flash back to original out of the box state with ODIN. (Just like doing it this way as to make sure I get no conflicts with previous mods);

Install Custom Recovery,

Install 4.3 Untouched GPE Rom (used version prior to the Very most recent one) through recovery. Clearing data

Install 4.4 patched OTA through recovery. (Didn't clear data)

Install framework to fix lagging home button

Install GEL (Google Experience Launcher)

Not yet rooted it.

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

Continuous restarts - This actually happens because of the security settings issue. It restarts when an app is updated; as it probably uninstall stuff in its upgrade process which the app doesnt have access to. Also uninstalling an app cause the phone to restart. (Now my phone is finished updating and recoverying apps, the restart rate has reduced.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MaKTaiL:
Guys. We need a proper system dump from an official i9505G device. I just saw that the system dump posted here was from a patched OTA zip applied to the I9505 rom. That is why the port is so messed up right now. I appreciate the help. ;)

Is it just me or does GE 4.4 have the same battery drain bug that plagued 4.3.? One core running on maximum at all times. Tested with different CPU monitoring apps, same results with each. Does anyone else get this too? I hoped it would be gone...
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
I think you've got an app that's doing something funky. Battery is pretty good for most people I think.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tozenator:
I tested this on freshly flashed GE 4.4 with no other apps installed except gapps. GE 4.3 had a bug where one core was running at maximum at all times which resulted in massive battery drain. I haven't had time to test if the battery drain there yet though. Or is this just intended behavior, I don't know :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] gotluck:
It would be nice if people could say if they were talking about i9505 or i9505g

Hoping to read about potential issues with 4.4 on i9505g

Is the crash on security a ported i9505 problem or what? Are we having sd card issues?

Art running well?
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
ART causes problems with some apps but overall it works pretty well. There are no SD card problems that I know of. I can't replicate the issues with crashing on VPN or Security.

Gotluck brings up a good point, though. This thread is for people who have a Google Play Edition GT-I9505G. It is for discussion of OTA updates for that device and that device alone. There are other, more appropriate, places to discuss other phone variants, custom ROMs based on the GPE, etc.
[Galaxy S 4 General] merkman:
So I'm a Google Play Galaxy S 4 owner. I'm currently running stock 4.3 on a locked device. My baseband and software versions show this.

I've downloaded the stock OTA file, and first copied it to the phones internal SD. It failed, and coming back here it seemed that wasn't possible. I'd also renamed the download to something shorter, and didn't know if that was f'ing up the process. So I deleted the downloaded OTA, redownloaded fresh, and got my phone to be visible for ADB side loading. But even after getting that to "work" I got the Status 7 message, and the OTA didn't install. As a result, I've wasted an hour... two, and STILL don't have my phone upgraded to Kit Kat (4.4).

Anyone else on a stock GP GS4 having this issue? If so, any idea what I'm doing wrong and what to try next???
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
What are the details of the status 7?

[Moto X Q&A] jrob007:
Has anyone else here had luck installing and using a third party equalizer and google play music?

I am having difficulty using a third party equalizer. Google Play Music seems to ignore the equalizer every time a new song starts. However, if I skip the song to to the middle, the equalizer kicks back in. I can't seem to find much info about other people having this problem.

Steps to reproduce

1. Disable Audio Effects

2. Install and start a third party equalizer

3. Play a song in Google Play Music

4. Skip to the middle of the song

5. Press the next or previous song button

The audio goes back to "unequalized".

Things I have tried

1. Freezing Audio Effects

2. Installing multiple third party equalizers

3. Rebooted multiple times

4. Unistalled Google play Music updates

5. Disabled many apps

6. Disabled no aps

Other Info

* Moto X

* Verizon

* Rooted

* All Access music subscription
[Moto X Q&A] nyydynasty:
have you tried VIPER4Android? Its got its own thread on this forum if you search for it. Its the best EQ I've used. I also ran into EQ issues with gMusic but this one works great. I have an S4, not a Moto X but it should work anyway.
[Moto X Q&A] jrob007:
Actually just finished installing V4A. I can get it it kick in but then if I restart the song or it goes to the next song, it stops.

I can't get local pinned music to use any equalizer at all. V4A "driver status" says that its not processing.
[Moto X Q&A] flashallthetime:
What equalizer are you using? I have awesome beats with nexmusic, you have to find the right combination, if my memory serves me right, play music would fc when I used awesome beats. I'm firing play music up with awesome beats. I let you know if I have any FC's with awesome beats. Nexmusic is very similar to Apollo music, sleep timer and you can access the equalizer quickly unlike playmusic

Edit: no FC's with play music and awesome beats I also left all other equalizers active. I did nor freeze or remove Audio effects , also have music fx and noozioxide

[Moto X Q&A] jrob007:
I have tried about 5-8 different equalizers. I mostly use my phone to listen to the Play All Access stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Comp625:
I have a Verizon S3, am rooted, and am running Hyperdrive RLS15 (based on Touchwiz 4.1.2). I am using the Google Keyboard that is downloaded from the Play Store.

For whatever reason, the Voice Typing Microphone key does NOT work. I press the button and NOTHING comes up. If I hold the button down long enough, "Input Options" come up (where I can fiddle with Google Keyboard's input settings). Yet, voice recognition works everywhere else (e.g. in Google Now or if I press "Quick Speech Reply" in Handcent SMS, my preferred texting app). I have searched up and down, left and right, and can't find a solution. :(

Google Voice Typing IS checkmarked/enabled in the Language and Input menu.

Everytime I try to disable (uncheck) Google Voice Typing in the Language and Input menu, the check box will check itself again after I exit and go back into the menu.

"Google" is correctly set as the Voice Recognizer, and "English (US)" is correctly set as the primary language.

I have already gone into TWRP and Wiped Cache/Dalvik Cache, along with "Fix Permissions." None of these seem to work. :(

I have always done a clean install of ROM's -- never do I dirty flash.

Both the stock Samsung keyboard and Swype keyboard are "frozen" via Titanium Backup. Freezing these keyboards fixed my voice typing issue last time it occured (about 5 days ago).

Is this perhaps a Touchwiz and/or Android 4.1.2 problem? I already asked about my woes in the Hyperdrive ROM thread but no one seems to have a solution. It's so odd...

Maybe this is related? There are instances when GPS shows as Enabled on the Notification Pulldown toolbar, but Standalone GPS in Location Services is unchecked. I try to Checkmark the box, but after I close out of the Location Services menu, it goes back to Uncheck.

Then there are OTHER instances where GPS toggle is disabled on the Notification toolbar (and pressing the toggle does absolutely nothing). I then go into Location Services > checkmark the Standalone GPS feature, but the Standalone GPS box is unchecked seconds after I go back into the menu.

Thus, if I'm ever in a need to quickly use Navigation, I can't fully rely on my phone to be available because Maps will complain about not having GPS enabled. A quick reboot will usually fix the issue, but it's quite an inconvenience if you're sitting in the car and are about to leave on a trip.

WTF? It makes me wonder if I have Permission issues somewhere that I can't seem to locate or pinpoint.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Comp625:
Just a quick addendum...

I've already read the Google Code thread - Posts #32 and #33 are relevant in that other users have the same issues. However, my Google Search apk is always up-to-date, and as I mentioned before, "English (US)" is already chosen.

I feel as if the Voice Input Typing button (on the Google Keyboard) stops working after I disconnect the phone from my car's bluetooth. I can't verify for sure since the Voice Input Typing key isn't working right now.

Again, the Voice Input Typing button is there. But when I hit it, it does nothing. Does anyone have any thoughts or input?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] udit_narang:
Hi! I had initially given my phone for replacement but heard from people that HTC will issue me a refurbished phone and not a new model( I gave my 1 week model for replacement). I went to HTC today and asked em to issue me a DOA instead of replacing my phone since I was concerned that they might replace my new phone with a refurbished model(I only had camera problems in mine and a little gap). They issued me a DOA without any problems and gave me my original phone back. Now, there is no HTC one single sim available in the market and the dual sim is available for 49.5k which is around 740 USD( I don't feel its worth it). Here are the questions im confused about:

1) Does the dual sim version have similar gaping/camera issues?

2) Are there any differences in battery usage as far as the dual sim is concerned? I read earlier that the battery is worse than the single sim(my single sim lasts for a day)

3) Is it worth paying 142 USD extra for an extra sim and memory slot? I'm pretty satisfied with 32 gb..I bought the 801e for 598USD

My phone is flawless except for the camera issue which is still bothering me.. I have no option but to either stick with this model or go for dual sim if I want the HTC one. else ill have to go with s4 or something else. Please suggest..

P.s: I'm from India
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianE46:
As far as i know they both have the same camera so that issue will probably remain. I would suggest waiting another week or two for the 4.3 update which will supposedly fix a number of issues including the camera before you make such a decision.

I have been using my ZR for 2 weeks and it is excellent. However, on my old Galaxy S I can see the call history for any contact which I find useful, but on my ZR the option doesn't seem be there. Am I missing something, or is there an app that will help?
[Sony Xperia ZR] GavinLiu:
I uses call recorder app so both history and contents everything are kept.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Willber G:
Hi, I don't want to record the calls, just see the call history for individual contacts. Will the app do that?
[Sony Xperia ZR] GavinLiu:
The app will name each call with the dial~in number or contact name if you saved the number. Plus the date and time of the call. That's much better than call history, i mean you can download the records backe to PC and while you don't rename them then it equal to download a copy of call history
[Sony Xperia ZR] Willber G:
Hmm, that's not really what I'm looking for. I just want to select a contact on my phone and see a list of all calls to and from them. I can do it on my 2010 Galaxy so I'd be surprised if it's not possible on the ZR. Thanks for your time, though.

*** You want my support? Then stick to my rules ***

Guys, I am receiving more and more completely useless support requests in different threads. Useless because people provide nothing to be able to help, not even the minimal possible information they could give.

Hence, I will now remind anyone again on the support guide lines stated here:

http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/support

Also you need to ensure you follow the installation guide lines incl. trouble-shooting stated here:

http://boeffla.de/index.php/support/installation-how-to

And to cut a long story short: If you do not at least provide what I request in the support guide lines, I will IGNORE YOUR REQUESTS IN FUTURE.

Straight and simple. I have enough of people wasting my time just because they are too lazy to write details.

Period.

Also as a reminder:

you use xposed? -> no support, everything is your own issue

you use a custom rom and not the official stock or CM one? -> good luck, you are on your own

you undervolt or overclock? -> have fun, but without my support

Sorry, this might sound harsh (and it is meant to sound harsh), but you cannot imagine about how crappy support requests can be. Stating something does not work is just not enough.

Please consider that!!!
