Guys, sorry to ask but I think it's important to know what's working better for you with this ROM. PhilZ, TWRP or CWM, and which version?

When I flash Dan's CM with CWM everything goes smooth, if I flash with TWRP ROM seems buggy after. Don't know if it's the f2fs or something else, but usually I format everything on each flash, even system.

Strangely on Dan's GE I feel it's the opposite.

Never tried PhilZ.

P. S. Once again sorry if you feel this is of topic. I think it's important because I really see differences on system smoothness.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaTrED_:
With THIS ROM, Philz's! Works like a charm. On the other side, when flashing Dan's CM version... Man, that feels strange because I just can't get smoothness levels as in GE! Don't know why when everyone else states clearly that CM is very smooth and bells and whistles...

Never used TWRP oR CWM

How can you say this?! I have both phones and my S4 (i9505) camera is better than my S3 (i9300) for sure. Better detail and colors.

I never heard anyone or read anywhere that S4 camera is way inferior than S3!

You can search at cameralabs a "professional" compassion between S4 and S3 camera and they found out that S4 is much better than S3 camera.

"...the Galaxy S4 shows considerably more detail when taken from the same location thanks to its higher resolution and slightly longer equivalent focal length. There's definitely more detail here from the S4 as you'd expect, but like its predecessor, the S4 is very noise-averse..."

"...I'd say at 100 ISO, the noise levels at the pixel-level are looking roughly similar. At 200 ISO, the Galaxy S4 is visibly exhibiting more noise than the S3, but the latter is smoothing it out through processing, leaving the new model to still deliver a superior overall result. At 400 ISO there's some softening and reduction in contrast, but the S3 is still smearing out noise to a greater extent than the S4. So while the S3 appears smoother, the S4 retains greater detail and is preferred. Finally at 800 ISO the older S3 falls apart, whereas the S4, while certainly compromised, still looks far superior...."

And I think that camera quality and camera functionality is very important when choosing roms!

Hey guys, I thought I'd try this ge rom for a bit because I've run out of ideas of how to get rid of freezes on aosp :(

Anyhow, first look this rom feels great, I have had a couple of rr's though but I'm hoping now I have updated to kt's latest kernel and set ktoonsified 6 profile this is a little glitch in my setting up etc.

The only problem I am having is that I can't seem to install bbs as a system app (I am dual booting with this app in dual slot)

When I try to convert it using system app converter app I get an error message saying 'failed to remount system' when I try with tb it appears to be converted but when I open bbs it still says I need to install as system app.

Any help much appreciated :)

We must get sources, for now there are only binaries as for now. But release of the sources seems to be close (day or two). Also, Samsung was not as fast in releasing GPe KK than HTC last time, hope this will take less time as it is a small update (60mb, just bugs fixed).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaTrED_:
I'm using Alu's latest GE version without any issue but it fails when i try convert BBS to system app. My workaround was, when updating ROM, start it with original KT's kernel, convert BBS to a system app and flash Alu's kernel after that.

Hi, sorry for the late reply,

I had no problem when using WiFi knowing I rarely use it, mostly on LTE.

I am on MJ5 modem living in Dubai.

Last time I used WiFi was at home before yesterday the same day I flashed this ROM (still on 15/12 build), I used it for about 4 hours and downloaded few small files.

I will try using WiFi at work and see if it will cause any reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] suxi:
This is weird stuff. I used to have frequent reboots but for me they actually seemed to have stopped at the previous and not the current build. At that stage I flashed the mk9 modem with odin, coming from me. Strangely my baseband still shows me after successfully flashing mk9. That's all I did. No wipes. Simply flashing the new builds over the previous.

Very strange...

Thanks for the rom, but...

Hello everyone. I installed this rom on my i9505, works fast, quite everything is fine excepting the fac that my phone just loses signal at some points even if i don't touch it. So i have to reboot it everytime this happens and sometimes even it doesn't ask me for a pin so i can unlock my simcard and have gsm signal again. I really don't why this is happening, it was happening on 4.4 also + some random reboots but now reboots are fixed with 4.4.2 but i loose gsm signal. Any ideas how to fix it please? :D :D :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ebahena:
If you read the OP you could see that the RR issue is for everybody with a 4.4 GE ROMs besides the M919. To fix your signal you could try flashing the correct modem from this thread.

i i had an older version of this rom and everything was working great.

i thought i would update to the latest version and in doing so i have lost wifi.

i then tried putting the factory fir,mware back on it and still have no wifi

it just wont turn on.

Hi Danvdh!

Is it possible to add in ROM HD Voice setting (like on Official ROM) in order to have ServiceMode commands working (or at least some codes such a *#0011#, 197328640).

I think it is a good idea.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] NemoKOF:
You got this on GPe? Or on Dans rom? :) Cool.

I'm using CM from dan now, I like some stuff but i like GPe for being GravityBox compatible. Still, I have better battery life (slightly) in CM but I think this is due I changed K-9 for stock email and only configured most crucial account.

But for me - autobrightness in Dans GPe works better, seem like those roms control the sensor differently.

I hope Dan will make us a sweet new rom out of this, he said he is waiting for 4.4.3. I hope no more bugs are intruduced, still - seems like nexus camera battery drain was NOT solved, this is strange as Google wrote they will fix it in the next update.

Exactly, it assumes you are on i9505g with stock recovery. It won't flash due to many differences BUT you can download it, copy it and send somewhere so someone with proper knowledge can make use of it.

Our phone has differnet partition sizes and mountpoints. But it's great that it is out :) Let's hope bugs are fixed, many people say KK is not good but I love it.

Just need to chime in to say that the latest version of 4.4.3 has an incredibly low battery consumption. The new kernel, probably... The one sure measurement I can always compare with others is how much battery I lose in one night. On the previous version it was 10% or more, now it is 3%! I´m not waiting for 4.4.3 anymore...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:

If it turns out that the stock kernel here still gives random reboots, is it possible for you to fix that instead of including another kernel?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
You're kidding right?

yes it will work, 80% done

if it reboots flash either ktoonsez, faux, or googy kernel, they should all boot. Faux and googy are very close to stock, I'm praying the stock kernel works this time around for you guys though, certainly makes my life easier

-7 hours straight on this tonight, RAWR!!!

-ermm insert random stuff here because the changelog is to small

-more stuff

-even more stuff

-enjoy!

I'm going to bed, tired as heck, remember if you INTL users reboot, a fix is already known and kt will address it, also those current kernels WILL boot this ROM. either way, you will have 4.4.3 working soon enough if Stock kernel acts up
