[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Ozonep:
Running great!!! 34 hours, no reboots. 2 charges from wall charger, 5 calls.

New bootloader + Modem ML1 + installed "Faux123 Kernel Enhancement Pro" app and changed settings to "interactive" & "row" :)

I don't know what helped, but on previous version I had reboots every 4-5 hours (but I didn't change governor & scheduler and I was on MKF modem).

I've been using this Rom for over a day now it's great..but even though over 7 hours at night it's used 22% battery where 4.3 version with same settings only used 2 to 4%? Any ideas as no data, no Wi-Fi, no sync, no Bluetooth only cell on in this period...cheers
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nitramcek:
Does this rom have random reboots like the other 4.4?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] suicidus:
hey, thanks. I don't have a problem with paying money for great tools. but I mostly buy tools I want to use a long time. according to. custom Roms kernels can switch very fast. so I have a problem with paying 5bucks for this only to test it for a few days... what can I do?

I feel bad about this... :(

Is full wipe a must if I come from standard build to pure nexus build? I tried just flash the pure nexus build, but could not boot, I reflashed the standard build and it is alright.

Tap to Focus HDR Mode dont work...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
Is it worth switching from Dan's AOSP to this new GE build? I use AOSP for the out of the box features that don't require xposed + gb so I can use ART but I'm dying to try the 4.4.3 but I'm afraid that dalvik + modules will slow the phone or have worse performance, I'm not an expert on this so I don't know. If some one could drop a few comments on this I'll appreciate it.

Also thanks to Dan for his amazing work, since I got the s4 6 months ago I have only used non-Dan's ROMS like 10 days in total and no wonder why, you rock!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
made a note of it, these remain dormant and do nothing at all so yes they can be removed, but theres no harm in them being there so very low on the priority list

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] avinashadvani:
thanks for the tip to install xposed and gravitybox, I have done it and can get some customisation i wanted back to my notification sound volumes.

now I have another question, previously I could add shortcuts which could be a bookmark from my browser, but now I dont see a book mark option when i long press on the home screen. only the normal widgets and other things but no option for bookmarks? any one else have this or any ideas what i am missing?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jrhoop:
Don't forget you need to install a browser of your choice upon flashing the ROM. Chrome, ASOP browser (not sure this is available on play.com), dolphin etc. Then the bookmark will be addable.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] avinashadvani:
I do have chrome browser installed already...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ebswift:
It would be good to have something in OP, I almost reported the answering/ending calls problem with s-view but went searching instead. And didn't find any answers except for some vague reference to Samsung?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Gavin01:
Ive only just got my phone looking how i like it with folders and apps etc........................

If i flash the new version is there anyway to get it looking like my old setup?

Would titanium back up do this as ive never used it?

Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ebswift:
Yeah I'm just going through this now. Even though I've had Titanium Backup for years I never really used it, it might be worth watching a YT tutorial for a quick start. I guessed my way through and ended up with fairly random outcomes until I stumbled over what I wanted. AFAIK it doesn't simply have 'backup' then 'restore'. It kinda does, but you choose *what* it's backing up and restoring. I seem to have everything back now except for wallpaper for whatever reason, anyway, that was easy enough to add manually. Also if you have software that is tied to your device, select 'restore previous device ID' when it asks you after a restore. This saves having to re-register apps and they're restored to their happy selves with your settings.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reg66:
titanium pro version has the option to re-install all apps + data. make sure you backup (assuming you're using nova) nova settings, save to sd, then flash new rom, restore all apps, restore nova backup. all folders, custom icons will be back.

in TB, you have to go to preferences to enable backup to sd (i think it's set to internal if i remember rightly), also select to backup only apps + data, not system stuff

if you have the pro version, you just do batch backup/restore
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
I restored TB backups made on Dan's AOSP and it screw the ROM and it never booted again, I had to flash the ROM again and install everything from scratch and now everything works perfect
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] VictorLallemand:
Backup every apps (users + systems) with TiBU and create a ZIP file with the saves.

Turn off, boot to recovery, wipe, flash the new version, reboot.

Let the first boot go through initial launch setup and install TiBU once done.

Turn off, boot to recovery, flash the saves files.

Reboot, let TiBU do the update (Should be automatic)

(You'll need TiBU Pro, but it is well worth it)

@Kryten2k35

I don't know if it is supposed to be that way, but in Carbon dialer, when i get an incoming call, the "Icoming call" bar is holo blue. Isn't it supposed to be some kind of white/grey ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Gavin01:
is there no free option as im skint atm?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Should the pure Nexus version not include everything you'd expect from a Google system image? Including Chrome, Hangouts, Maps, etc? Why are peopel talking about removing stuff? It should be totally stock (except for some important fixes, like the media provider bug, and kernel).

Also, [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION], the Customised edition should most definitely include Google Search as standard, since a lot of stuff relies on it (like Caller ID and the "Ok Google" functionality of Nova)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
I did buy TiBu (one of the two or three apps I actually paid for) but was not aware such functionality existed. So... Care to explain, please?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] VictorLallemand:
Open TiBU, let it set. Click on the top right corner, on the vertical rectangle with a checkmarck in it. Select "save users apps + systems apps". Let it save (might tale a while depending on you apps to save). Once done, go back to that rectangle, scroll down to Recocery Mode and then select "create " update.zip (you can rename it to whatever you like), let it do then move it to extSD card and you are ready to wipe !
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
Hang on a second... What you're trying to say is that option creates a flashable .zip with my backed up apps, so I don't have to restore them with TiBu after a full wipe - but do it with a simple flashable .zip in recovery (& much faster, too, I suppose)?!?!?! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] VictorLallemand:
Exactly, you still have install TiBU before flashing that .zip, so the update will go smooth after the reboot
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
TiBu is always installed :) it's a must have app.

Looks like I should have searched for this a long time ago...

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
Use PhilZ recovery. When you select "wipe data / factory reset", an option "Clean to install new ROM" will be shown to you. ;)

I do get occasional FC on gapps with this latest rom, installed clean. But it's hard to see a pattern of when it occurs, anyone else noticed something like this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
If you back up and restore system apps you are asking for trouble. Do NOT do it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] L4ky:
Great ROM. Installed since 4.4.2 and perfect!

Two questions:

1) When will you fix buggy FLAC ?

2) When will you fix tap to focus with hdr enabled?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SoJoS:
Only thing I can find is smart ir remote not working anymore. Looks like it does not send out a signal . After a couple of tries it fc's. Other than that, I'm so happy with this masterpiece.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
HDR is Samsung's thing to fix.

Buggy FLAC?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jrhoop:
Yep. Already reported a few pages back and Danvdh/ktoonsez are aware of need for fix....believe they may also know the solution.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] L4ky:
Why Samsung have to fix that? If i'm not wrong it was working in stock 4.2.2 ( i have another s4 with stock rom and hdr focus working).

FLAC files (lossless music files) are buggy. They make a "pause" every some seconds.. stuttering is the correct term. Google it and you'll find what is it!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] speedytr:
Unfortunately both problems created by Google and Samsung and cannot be fixed (or very hard to fix) by devs. For example HDR focus wasn't working at start but with newer versions of camera soft they fixed it. Now its broken again in 4.4.3. So wait for google to fix!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
Damn... I think I'll switch to my hated iOS. At least all the stuff is working there! If Android 5.0 isn't a major overhaul (cosmetic and performance wise) I'll switch. They never fix anything. They make it worse!

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505G mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Samsung must fix HDR focus (not Google - It's not a Google Camera thing), and the FLAC problem seems to be in AOSP too, but it was fixed and can be fixed with some commits. It MAY be possible to use the same libraries for GPE, if we can figure out which one it is.

You must be kidding. I know you already used CM11 and as you know it's very stable. If you REALLY want complain about camera then you should replace it with Snap.

Android is WAY BETTER than a "stable-don't-do-anything-unless-jailbreak" iOS. Can't really understand why you're saying this here!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Lol, iamnotkurtcobain If you have the i9505, then the OFFICIAL stock firmware works great. This is a custom ROM, and not for the i9505 (it's for the i9505

G

) You want totally stable? Install the Samsung firmware, unmodified. You want cutting edge, welcome to this ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
But Google ALWAYS breaks stuff and makes it worse.

I don't get it. Gmail App is a disaster, maps is laggy and has less options than 2 years ago. Since Android 4.x webview is borked, Statusbar pulldown is janky as hell (and don't tell me it isn't, it IS, even my HTC Legend from 2010 with cm7 has a smoother statusbar pulldown!!! Compared it yesterday). And I'm running cm11 on all of my newer devices and this lag is always there.

This statusbar lag and transiton to settings menu is janky beyond words. I'm sensitive to those things but I'm sick of it. Thanks Dan for this rom and everything. Had a rough day and Android pi#%es me off right now.

You two? Android do a lot out of the box. iOS don't. There's a lot of other arguments but this basic one is only the beginning.

I've been using Android and iOS for several years, telling Android is worst is a joke. Since January I've also been using Windows and even this is way much mature than iOS.

I'm not an Android fan boy, I love Apple design, coolness and butter smoothness, but I want a device to do what I want. iTunes tells you something? ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
I'm not sure but i may have found a small bug in the mms app.

If i go into settings, the first option is "sms enabled" touch to change your default sms app.

If i tap this, it opens up the wireless and networks settings.

Perhaps this is by design but i would have thought this would open the choice directly instead of having to go through this sub menu. I'm not sure how this behaved in previous versions. Not that it bothers me as i only ever use the stock sms app, but if this is not the correct behaviour, i know it will bug the hell out of you dan! :)

Hi Everybody,

I installed this rom since its first appearance in xda and never changed. Now I'm noticing some problems with new dialer (ver. 4.4.3 date 6.04.2014): I cannot answear the call (they don't appear on screen, if I tap on phone icon it asks me, among other choice, if I want to return to call, but if I click on it phone goes to desktop, and I can't answear) and there's a persisting icon of phone on status bar that tell me the last action made by dialer (but if I press on notification, it doesn't do anything). Any suggestion? Thanks in advance. Mostly because I didn't read the whole thread.

you can do the backup using TiBU free version, but i think you have to select apps each one manually, rather than batch process.

don't forget to make a nova backup to your sd card, so that all icons/folders/homescreens etc can be restored

hit thanks if that helped, i haven't got many!!!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Obi-man:
I thought so too, it looks a lot sharper. I think it has something to do with the brightness. But when i put a touchwiz rom on my phone the first thing i notice is that the screen is much sharper than GPE. Anyone notice that too, has this been mentioned before? Not that it's bothering me, but i was just curious why that is? The GPE ROM should be equally sharp, because the ROM is made together with Samsung.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nikzDHD:
I find this 4.4.3 has sharper text than the touchwiz roms. I like this new sharpness but it does appear brighter than the tw roms.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
We are using AOSP autobrightness, Samsung's is way overkill and way to bright in low light and does not make for very good battery life at all

Another OT:

Seems like I cannot make V4A work on this ROM. To the V4A user, please tell me how did you set-up yours and what music player you are using. Thank you so much! ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] -sandro-:
OK [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] I don't wanna talk about battery life cause it highly depends on the apps you use but there definitely is something wrong with GE edition ROMs when it comes to 3G/4G standy-by battery.

I'm talking with WIFI always OFF. I used your own CM11 build (the best CM ROM hands down) for about 2 weeks which was the ultimate proof and the battery life during standy-by has been decent (1%/h) while on GE (since 4.2) had always been at least 5%/h. Backed up all user apps from CM11 (no system apps), installed 4.4.3 GE, restored the apps so exactly same configuration and apps settings aaaand ... back to the heavy battery drain! You might ask "check your wakelocks"? Yes the wakelocks are the SAME. I "only" get higher msm_hsic_host wakelocks caused by something that remains unknown to me since it is not tracked by any app.

Could it be something related to the kernel/modem for INT i9505 while this is natively for US phones only?

I've tried every possible thing for almost one year but I wasn't able to understand why on GE ROMs 3G/4G battery life is so bad.

For the record the battery life is great also on AOSP ROMs. If apps like BBS cannot track any weird behavior how in the world can I understand the power usage cause?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] `SBR`:
if you're using as dual or multi boot, it will not work till [MENTION=4277844]chenxiaolong[/MENTION] fixes it.

If you're installing as the primary rom, install as normal app, open the app and then install the driver and reboot.

then go to settings/ sound and select Viper4Android.
