[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kalapyu:
Hi all,

Got a noob question... Sorry about that. But I am used to the HTC ROM/ruu universe as i own a converted GPE HTC one... Loved it so much that i promoted it to a friend who owns a S4.

A few months ago, I installed this 4.4.2 ROM on my friends s4 and everything went well.

The phone started offering system updates a few weeks ago.

1. When performing the update, recovery does not show an error but No update is applied.

Si i now understand that this is a ROM and not a RUU and therefore updates cannot be applied from the phone's menu.

Did i get this right ? There is No GPE RUU fort S4? Would installing the original recovery change anything ? (Asking because it is the case on HTC)

2. How do i update the phone if not from the update menu? Simply download file and apply from recovery ? Would that erase data (music, pics, apps data..) ?

Many thanks...

Cheers

Kala

Does this have the same issue with the proximity sensor as the other aosp roms. .I've been wanting a close to stock rom but everyone I've tried so far ..runs great but whenever I make a call the screen goes black and I can't end the call...I have to program the power button to end it ...what If I need to use the dial pad...any suggestions...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Edgio60:
You cannot fully convert an i9505 to an i9505g. To update you must flash the updated 4.4.3/4.4.4 rom. It's not possible to do this via software update.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kalapyu:
Thanks for clarifying. I was pretty close ;)

By flashing the ROM, will that erase all personnal data?

Thanks again

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Edgio60:
Yes, I would recommend a full wipe when updating from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4. Make sure you're fully synced first. You can backup your user apps and data with Titanium Backup and your SMS with SMS Backup and Restore and restore after the update. Remember to make a nandroid as well!

A full wipe shouldn't erase music, videos, pics etc, but you can copy them all to external SD/ a PC to be sure.

I followed a tutorial on youtube for flashing this rom and it said to flash a faux kernel which i think is causing this problem. is it safe to just flash ktoonsez kernel in a custom recovery?

Hey bro I'm a big fan of your work when I was using the I9505. Now I went back to S4 only to find out that it was the S4 Value Edition I9515.

Is there a way you can make it to work for this device.

Thanks for taking time to read this.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Yes

---------- Post added at 06:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 AM ----------

I use TWRP (but the option is there in philz) go into recovery, choose 'wipe' then 'format' then type yes and that's it, reboot to recovery and flash whatever you like.

IMPORTANT: back up everything you don't want to lose to your external SD or PC, formatting your SD wipes everything!

I'm assuming you do wipe cache/dalvik between dirty flashes right? And cache/dalvik/system/data between between new flashes (new ROM installs)?

HI all

Love this rom, it works really well. The only problem is that I get no 2g (gsm) reception on this, only 3g/LTE. I cannot figure out why?

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] BUTCHER0123:
I flashed the ROM and it's exactly how I wanted to be slim,no bloats.I went even further and stripped it of all non important GAPPS and it works nice.As far as the reception goes I selected 2G and I have full reception.Try reinstalling and before clear user data/cache/dalvik and see if this helps.

I searched this thread regarding problems with hidden WLANs, but I haven't found anything...my WLAN is hidden and my S4 can't find the SSID, although I entered everything in the specific config...once the SSID is visible, it can connect...but once is hidden again->no chance!!!

Weirdness with 4.4 re: files to usb etc.

Hi there,

Love the rom, however with the latest version I'm finding that copying files from the phone to say my patriot usb stick copies the files, but not the files content. I'm not experiencing this with any other kit kat devices, only for the i9505 and this rom and others that are 4.4.4.

Example: copy photos from phone or external memory/sd card to USB stick. Files appears when plugging the usb stick on the pc or other phone, however these cannot be open as the files appear to be corrupted. However doing this on the other phones, I do note that the phones/tablets pick up the usb stick as usb mass storage though this rom say 'preparing SD" and nothing else?

Transferring music from the phone memory or exsd card to the usb stick is the same :( File names/directories appears but not the actual content.

The other difference I guess is that other kit kat varieties has "myfiles" on the app, this rom doesnt, maybe just a coincidence?

Appreciate your advice.

PS followed your install instructions carefully.

maybe try the latest update, format system & data then flash via recovery....might work..but do it at ur own risk..have u thought I'd changing cable? or when copying dint touch the cable or phone as any slight movement can cause such problems if u have a faulty cable which has maybe loose wires inside..sounds stupid..but u never know..happened to me Once

Bad news

Hi guys, there's bad news for us all: yesterday the Galaxy S4 GPE has been removed from the Google Play Store. Now, only the Moto X and the HTC One M8 remain :(

The most likely reason is that Google is thinking to close the GPE project, in order to dedicate to the new Android Silver project.

Will we ever see Android L on the Galaxy S4? T_____T
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] zukri90:
Yes there will be. Doesn't mean they took off the GS4 from the Play Store means they'll stop supporting it.

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MariuxReloaded:
Are you sure? I hope it so, because I imagine that, after this decision, Samsung will completely stop the updates for the S4 (indeed, the Touchwiz version is stucked at the problematic Kit Kat 4.4.2).

I really wish to try Android L on the S4, especially for the increased battery lifetime (which it's already great with Kit Kat 4.4.4, thank you very much Jamal for this ROM) and the famous Material Design :rolleyes:

I hate Apple for several reasons, but one of its few qualities it's the continuous release of new updates even on the older devices, so all we can do is keep our fingers crossed and hope that Google will make the same choice :(

Hi all,

I would like to install this ROM on a branded Galaxy S4 i9505 but I'm stuck in the custom recovery installation.

I've successfully rooted the phone with CF Autoroot via Odin.

When I try to install CWM or TWRP (via Odin) I can't reboot the phone in custom recovery.

I press Vol.UP + Home + Power but I can only access to stock recovery, here is the header of the recovery:

Android system recovery <3e>
KOT49H.I9505XXUFNA5

As you know, without custom recovery I'm not able to install this Google Edition ROM from jamal2367.

I tried to install ROM Manager via Play Store and, even if superSU works well, I'm not able to reboot into recovery.

Same with TWRP.

Any suggestion please? :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] BerndHhn:
have you tried odin?

you can flash philz or twrp.

you only need to press and hold the vol+ before the Samsung Logo.

if odin flash the recovery not correct, you should try to uncheck the "auto restart" box in Odin and restart the device after you flashed it twice, manually.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dublade:
Yes, I tried to install CWM (two times) and TWRP (one time) with odin.

Odin says that all goes well but when I try to boot into recovery (Vol UP + Home + Power **or** VolUP + Power) the phone boot into stock recovery.

With the stock recovery I'm not able to flash the ROM from jamal2367 because I can't browse the filesystem.

Do you suggest to install the ROM directly from Odin? :)

Thanks for the answer
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] BerndHhn:
Not the rom itself :)

Odin don't like zips... :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dublade:

It's a weird behavior because there is not apparent reason for not boot into CWM even though I've installed correctly via Odin :crying:

I flashed PhilzTouch recovery with Odin, but this time without check the "auto-reboot" option on Odin.

I read that Android (or maybe only the Galaxy S4, I don't know...) re-install his standard Android Recovery after flashing a custom one if rebooted automatically, so even if I flash CWM or TWRP, after reboot I can't use none of them because the over-install of the standard one.
