I've taken ktoonsez advice and tried snap camera and i've actually replaced my camera too! hahah

it has built in pictures to sd card, a solid gallery and well I use Novalauncher prime (the best launcher on android!) to hide the Camera app and theme up the Snap Camera/Gallery icons, I've replaced quickpic with this combo
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pjkiener:
Hey guys, I did a search and I couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm sure it's been asked before and I apologize for not finding the answers in my search...

anyway, does this work also for the GT-i9505?

Thank you...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
look in the GT-I9505 section ;) I build for all variants of the S4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pjkiener:
Right on, I appreciate the answer and the unimpatient response! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Azrel37:
If you use Xposed, you could always download the "pictures to SD" module and just install Focal. There's a "Music to SD"module as well if you use the play music app and wanna save to SD.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Disconn3ct:
Does anyone else use full-device encryption with this rom?

(On an unrelated note, I have to second the comment about the gallery - the link from the camera app is something I use all the time. Otherwise Quickpic is great.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] CAR1977:
The Google play music app comes with a setting where you can choose where you want your music stored. It is in the settings. You can choose internal or external SD.

I am still on the 12/18 built with ktoonz kernel and totally happy.

The only issues I have are I cannot use are foldermount and on call waiting the phone rings during a call in the ear piece instead of beeping but no big deal ( this was mentioned before). Is there any significant reason I should update to the latest update Dan? Like I said before really happy with my setup.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] W99DEY:
I installed your ROM on the 19th Dec, but was getting 3-4 random restarts a day, so rolled back to another 4.3 one that has never restarted. Think it was the Virgin one.... I am on EE LTE in the UK. Is your new one super stable? Also do I need to flash any other files? Radios etc? Bit new to all this... :) was very impressed with the speed of the 19th ROM. But a little put off by the restarts......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hotbread:
[MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] I just want to confirm before flashing... The latest ROM file size is only 105MB right? Previously, they've been in the 300MB range, so wasn't sure if I had a corrupted file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
You have a bad download. Its 300mb range
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hotbread:
PHEW!!! Good thing I asked. LOL Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Apostle:
Dan - Are you using snapcam or Snap Camera? I see both in the play store.

Is it this... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marginz.snap

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Apostle:
Thanks for your suggestions... I did what you suggested and changed the MAX CPU settings and Screen Off Settings. This is a good day so far for me. I'm sure it will get better once the ROM and Kernel settle a bit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
That is a very awesome example of battery life, looking solid

this is the camera I use :) Ktoonsez told me it's awesome so I obviously took his word for it, It's the closest you will get to that touchjizz camera on the GE line of ROMs :)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marginz.snap

there is a trial too but you need to enable airplane mode to use the camera, it's only on the market as a try before you spend the whopping 2.99 on the one linked above

I've actually just removed googlecamera.apk now, tucked it away out of system/app on my storage in case it's ever needed again but I doubt it. (I will never ship the ROM like this though, obviously haha)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
I guess that Dragon game is very GPU intensive. The screen is sucking up quite a bit of juice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Apostle:
Thanks Dan. I'm going to buy the camera app. My go to camera, other than TouchJizz has always been CameraZoom FX. I'll report back on Snap Cam HD.

Yes and I was on a 40 min conference call. I used Frost browser for about 25 min of that call. I took the call on my cell phone as well.

CameraZoom FX vs Snap Camera HDR
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sauron@Mordor:
Running the latest version from 1-01-2014 on a T-MO GS4 with MDL baseband. I was running the 12/28 version before this and Virgin 4.3 before that for the past few months.

Things work fine for a while and then my phone goes into a state where I get "Nova launcher has stopped" dialog box. I can only get out of this if I power cycle it and then it's back to normal. This has happened twice since flashing on Jan 1.

Wondering if this is a known issue or if things perhaps got buggered during the flashing process. The flash seemed to go normally and it's otherwise working fine.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Best,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Apostle:
You might want to clear all the app data in Nova and see if that helps.

Any gallery that can view photosphere pics other than stock Google?

I'd be all about using the Snap Can but I did a couple HDR tests today and it pales in comparison to Google's cam.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
Google camera is best for gpe period, it tried ever camera that is paid and no gives the results like got Google camera. Gallery apk is needed for photosphere

If you want a photo editor for girls for smooth face like beauty shot get perfectly clear
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Would disagree, I've blown up a few pictures in photoshop and compared features and snapcam has the stock beat, they are using the exact same drivers and one is contantly improving while one shipped with 4.4 without even being able to focus or take HDR, I don't think the stock cam is all that great at all, the focusing is very iffy compared to snap, snap also allows native ext storage support + has alot more tweaks to take even better photos then the stock is even capable of, on top of that HDR is always improving on snap.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Slicktune:
Niceee...

Quick question: (and ive searched for this EVERYWHERE! lol)

After you activate nav bar with gravity box (or whatever rom enables it ) how do i disable hardware keys... A BIG PLEASE and thanks in ADVANCE!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
You can't. But you can have the light not come on at all
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
Actually you can disable the keys there is a thread in the 19505g page
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Slicktune:
Thanks but I've tried that and it looks cheesy because i already have the habit of using the hardware keys but i know if i disable them as easy as it was on the s3 then i will become accustomed to the nav keys

Thanks in advance btw long ago someone told me there was a way thru the build prop but i forgot... Anyone else know :) god bless and happy new years!

Your welcome. And to Dan so I got the snap camera iv had it in the past and it was not that great but just got the new update and it seems very promising, tomorrow I will take some professional tri pod shots with gpe camera and with the snap camera, I'll take regular, hdr and low light shots and post them up to find out what is the winner. ;)

Hey Dan, would you be able to put a recommended section to the OP with the apps you seem to have a high regard for compared to stock apps like camera and gallery?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] style154:
Easiest way is mobile Odin from the play store or here in xda but check out the general section and there is a thread for it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hotbread:
The new "Photos" app that comes with the updated Google+ app can do Photosphere.

I usually just use QuickPic for images and the Photos app for photospheres.

Though, one thing that would be VERY convenient is if QuickPic is the default gallery when you swipe right from the camera.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] polo79:
Looks pretty damn similar. I wonder though, do you lose quality posting like that on xda?

Edit: the normal setting one I like GPE better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
The resolution uploaded is not at the full resolution but either way you can see there is very to no difference in quality in less you look close and gpe camera as I expected was going to produce the better photo . The other hdr setting in snap camera is worse in quality then the scene mode hdr.

Now if your taking portraits Touchwiz camera beauty shot is by far the best hands down. But we're using GPE for a reason so if you want a alternative to Touchwiz beauty shot I use 'perfectly clear'.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
Which one is snap camera and which one is Gpe camera? Low light tripod shot..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] polo79:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pinoycrusader:
Thanks but I already tried that several times.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Apostle:
I think the top one is GPE. In your pictures, Snap Camera seems to take slightly brighter pictures.

I did a much less scientific test today with my kids and I'll say that I do like Snap Camera. It focuses quickly and takes pretty clear pics. It focuses faster than Camera Zoom FX, but on CZFX, I have it set for anti shake so that is partially why. Also, I never ever use the effects on CZFX and I know that's why lots of people like that app. It's almost like a camera and a photo editor all in one and its free. You just have to pay for the gay add on effects packages that I have never used.

I do not care for the Snap Camera gallery that comes with the camera. It gives you zero options to really do anything. Can't even change the direction of the picture scrolling. I'm sticking with Quik Pic for sure. My backup to QP would be an app called Just Pictures, which you can also link to some of your online galleries like Photo Bucket.

I would be curious if you could take some comparison shots and compare Camera Zoom FX and Snap Camera.???

Hi. I just got the S4 and I'm trying to choose a ROM. Does anyone prefer the 4.3 version of this rom to the latest one? Is it any more/less stable? I'm just looking for something basic for my girlfriend. I was looking at Virgin Rom but if this is just as stable, I would like to try this. I'm using a Metro PCS SGH-m919n on T-mobile network. In general, are the GPE based roms considered less stable than TouchWiz? I hope not, cause I really hate touchwiz...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Both Virgin and this ROM are stable. They both are the best GPE ROMs you'll find. You won't go wrong with any.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] razormy:
Been running since version b was uploaded. Not one problem. Not one FC. Very stable.

Great job.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shock2sys:
Just what a103 has said. These are very stable ROMs. Virgin rom is cleaner... err.. more vanilla than Danvdh's. Danvdh's has additional tweaks, bells and whistles. I don't think you can go wrong with either ROM. Toss a coin if you're undecided. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] matthewdavis:
Make sure you don't have some other app that is changing the tone (llama or tasker). Maybe the ring tones is on your SD card and it's going unavailable? I've been running this ROM for a few weeks now and not had that issue.

Something Strange has been happening. I didn't read the extsd discussion for the gallery early enough. I tried to use one of the Xposed tools to set my phone to save all pics to extsd. This might be unrelated but since then Google plus force closes.

By the way the Google gallery link in the op. Can't be extracted nor flashed. Maybe I'm doing something majorly wrong.

I'll grab the Google Apps from cm roms. And see if their g+ fixes my issue.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Apostle:
Have always Wondered

I have always wondered this. When setting up a new ROM, the devs always say flash, reboot, let it sit for 5-10 minutes then reboot again.

Does this mean:

Once the phone reboots do absolutely nothing for that period of time - OR...

Skip all of the options and just get to the home screen, then wait 5-10 minutes and reboot?

Just curious.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tha Maxx:
It means exactly that. Let the phone reboot and let sit for 10 minutes. It allows the phone sometime to get its p's and q's in order.

Very sorry if this has been answered. I haven't found it. When I make a phone call I lose control of the phone. Can't turn screen on and when it does come on only for a split second. Call still continues. I make a lot of calls where I have to dial extensions. Anyone else have this issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 92drls:
I kind of had this issue too because while I was typing something while on a call the sensor would recognise your other fingers and turn the screen off.. I know this sounds stupid but simply try curling your fingers under your hand while tapping your extension, just like you would make a pointing gesture, see if that does it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] striker661:
Nono . when I place a call. Open the phone app put in a number. Hit the call button. Screens turns off and won't turn back on. If I call my voicemail I can hear the call . just cant turn the screen on and go back to the dialpad to even punch in my pin number. Making calls locks my phone. Some times it will flash on. But not long enough to do anything. Making calls results in me having to power off my phone to get the screen to come back on.
