This didn't do the trick for me. Maybe its because the file sec_touchkey.kl (or anything containing the word touchkey) didn't exist. I did however renaming to bak.Generic.kl and replacing Generic.kl with the file /system/jflte-gpe/stock and renaming it to generic.kl did fix the buttons.

I am on Sprint S4 too. I was using GoogyMax kernel, tried Alucard and then switched to Hulk. Alucard was fine, but Hulk is based on GoogyMax which I was most comfortable with. And I get good performance with Hulk.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Revzie:
I always solve the wake-up delay by disabling Daydream right after I finish flashing a clean ROM.

On another note: the ROMs from the 13th and 14th this month rendered my phone practically unusable. I switched back to a clean install of 20150610 now and it's fine again, so I'm sticking with that until this issue is resolved.

I've had issues with the Alucard kernel before these ROMs came along and always used the default Hulk choice, and now they're the same issues again since 20150613.

No internet access even when it says HSPA/HSPA+ or whatever (wifi works), and excessively hot SD card and CPU after some time, even when doing nothing. Draining ~45% battery per hour at idle and generating such heat is just insane.

(Also, I liked having the install options in the ROM's installer.. Will they ever come back? Or at least the dirty/clean reinstall options? I don't think installing dirty time after time is such a good idea..)

Also: This is unrelated to the above issue, but my provider Tele2 (Netherlands) recently started rolling out their own 4G network. I cannot seem to get 4G to pop up anywhere though, even whenever I'm right in the middle of Utrecht and Amsterdam which have full coverage according to my friends who have stock S4s like mine.. Is this a settings issue or lack of ROM support?

Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Ended up finding the right Googy, flashed it last night, and am back to loving this ROM. So much better with Googy.

Will check the other items for updates as suggested. Thanks!

Edit: didn't realize that Hulk was a "continuation" of Googy. Giving that a go now.

Greetings to all,

I installed this latest rom but I had problems with the infrared. In practice I used the app AnyMote smart controller with the previous version and everything worked. With this update the rom the app does not detect any TV.

Someone has the same problem?

What other app can be used as a remote control?

Thanks

Anyone having strange bootloop issue on this ROM? I keep getting bootloops on bootanimation and when I check last_kmsg there are many errors of 'init: Unable to execve('/system/bin/logd'): Permission denied'. [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] do you know why? It's really annoying and wasted many hours of my time. I would really appreciate any help.

More info about my device: /data, /cache and /system are all f2fs
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Anyone want to try this out for me? It's a totally stock kernel build for "eur" devices (International, basically). There are no fancy features, but it is compiled with Christopher83 Linaro GCC 4.9.3 (same as Googymax and Alucard).

I had the same drain with Alucard Kernel as the rest of you, so I started digging into this stock kernel to see if it could be the default.

If it is ok, I will try adding a few things into that I personally consider essential (fast charge, ROW and FIOPS - interactive is still probably the best govenor imho.). It will most likely need some changes to work with Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile devices (they all have their own kernel configs, so I might need to merge some things together or so some magic to get things working properly.). If you are reading this, and you own one of those devices, you would be very much appreciated for testing this kernel too.

Please test:-

Battery drain

Wi-Fi

GPS and Compass (Maps, etc)

Mobile data/signal
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
I'm on the case Matt....

:good:

You mention adding a few tweaks etc. Will this stock kernel eventually be compatible with STweaks? If not, what would be the recommended way to tweak?

Edit.

Wifi and data(LTE) both seem to be working very well. Flying in fact

Signal as expected.

Compass working fine.

GPS fixing quickly.

Will test GPS accuracy with Nav along with BT/Audio on my way home from work.

Will keep my eye out for any RR's (none so far during a USB charge)

And of course test battery for the next couple of days.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] -sandro-:
I'm trying your kernel as well
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
I will probably opt for Kernel Adiutor, as it works with most settings. I'm using it on this test kernel now to change the few settings exposed. It works with Alucard and GoogyMax too.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Only limitation I've found with this stock kernel up to now Matt is no exFat support for the external SD card.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Nice :) I can add that in, of course.

I'm about to benchmark it, but I'll bet it's lower than other kernels. The UI seems nice and snappy to me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] AllSeeyinEye:
I actually don't care about benchmarks as long as my phone runs smooth and snappy, which it still does after these few hours I'm running your build.

What I do miss, however, are the charging settings (1900 mhA) and the option to lower the vibration intensity.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
That's what I got.

Yeah charging settings I will definitely be doing. Hopefully I can get the vibrate intensity into that kernel app I mentioned before.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] AllSeeyinEye:
No need to rush, mate. All in due course. Exfat support is the most important thing right now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kees1982:
What about F2FS support? Would that be easy to do? For /data ofcourse :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nostrings:
+1.

Though, this is not kernel-only undertaking.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Revzie:
Tele2 uses the same APN for 3G and 4G. 4G will not work, I've been within 400 meters of a 800MHz + 2600MHz Tele2 4G signal tower today and still nothing. I think it's something in the ROM that prevents me from making 4G connections..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] AllSeeyinEye:
are u sure about the combined APN settings? It isn't a ROM problem for 4G works fine here.

Quick question guys, I am coming from a stock Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 Snapdragon 600. Its completely stock, which I just updated to the Lollipop release via OTA from Samsung.

I am planning to use this GPE. I have some knowledge on the procedure but just want to put it up here.

1) Root

2) Install recovery

3) Backup image of my current Stock rom via recovery

4) Wipe/Delete everything

5) Install GPE rom via recovery

6) Install GApps via recovery

7) Wipe/delete everything again

8) Let it load and boot up

Is this procedure correct? I dont really care about the Knox counter as my phone is already out of warranty period.

[MENTION=3443334]MattBooth[/MENTION] , yup great step to GPE to have their unique kernel based on stock one

if iam allowed to post suggestions then,

1- SELinux set to Permissive

1- eXfat Support

2- Fast Charging

3- CPU under Voltage

4- Faux Sound Driver
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bernardryan:
1)update bootloader and modems to latest one

2) Install recovery

4) Wipe/Delete everything, everything, system, cache, data, sd card (not micro sd, the internal )

5) Install GPE rom via recovery

8) Let it load and boot up

I am guessing the precursor to no.1 would be to obtain Root?

About the bootloaded, there are 4 files in each new section, 1 is just modem, 1 is a wifi fix, 1 is a combo and 1 is a bootloader.

I am guessing the bootloader should be flashed via odin.

But I am unsure which of the 3 should be used. Cause the naming of them are (GSM Modem only, Wifi Fix, Combination of GSM Modem and LTE Modem).

So Do i flash the Wifi Fix and the Combination of the GSM Modem and LTE modem or has the combination file already combined the Wifi Fix in it?

Answer: Got it already. GSM and LTE modem is the combination of GSM modem and Wifi Fix... Just the naming that threw me off.

[MENTION=3443334]MattBooth[/MENTION] [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] Sorry if I'm annoying, do you know why there is always a string of FCs on boot? It only occurs once at boot, after I dismiss all the dialogs none comes up anymore. I checked logcat before(somehow now logcat doesn't show why the FCs happened anymore) and it says something about the services that apps run when device boots up are not able to be executed/started. One app that crashes especially badly is AudioFX. Even the launcher crashes. I hope you can fix this, it's really annoying but is no major bug. Thanks a lot!

Been using the CyanogenMod 12.1 rom for a while but decided to come back to this rom purely for the stability.

Its been about 2-3 months since I was last using this rom, and you forget how stable this one is.

Clean flashed the latest release, and battery life wasn't great that is supplied with the rom, so reverted back to GoogyMax 1.30 Final Kernel, and my phone definetly feels zippy, and getting superior battery life.

Is there an issue with the kernel that comes with the rom?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
I haven't noticed any lag. What does this do? A quick Google shows to use these? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_OcwmroqmD7ME9jcmtWOFljdDg/view not just a rename.

Root (Using CF-Auto Root)

Install the latest TWRP

Wipe/Delete everything (system, cache, internal storage, data - hopefully you got an SDCard)

Install ROM via recovery

(Optional) Update modem and bootloader (source)

Boot

You don't really need to back up the existing Samsung ROM, because there are odin images for restoring entirely to stock.

We will see about it. I added exFAT last night which [MENTION=4272718]hawkerpaul[/MENTION] helped test. I'm still learning, and in the meantime, [MENTION=4899086]alucard_24[/MENTION] fixed up all the issues so far, which will be in the next ROM.

Without a logcat there is nothing to be done.

Currently yes, but not for much longer :)

Hi guys,

Since last update I dont receive any Inbox (by Gmail) notifications. Any other service like whatsapp or Exchange is ok but Inbox...

Any tip?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Because Googy hasn't been updated since February, and Alucard rebased his GE kernel recently for me. There were bound to be teething issues. They've been fixed in recent updates to alucard kernel (not in his thread yet, but I have the kernel, and it's available on github).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nick_robbo:
RIght OK, sorry I missed the post about the rebase. I remember Alucard used to be a great Kernel so I am sure in time it will be just as stable. I was just curious. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] AgoYaMo:
In some S4 (like mine >_< ), Youtube/Facebook/Instagram/etc videos, after a few seconds, the video freezes a moment while the sound still works and then whole video get async. The fix is simple, rename that file in lowercase. This works perfectly, but we have to do this fix everytime we flash. So, could you simply rename it in the rom?

Sorry for my bad english. And thank you so much for your hard work <3
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Please test for me what happens if you just copy the file with that name (instead of renaming it) so that there are two copies? I think some apk's will want the original name and perhaps some want the new name.

so copy it using ES File Explorer and name it libdivxdrm.so (so that libDivxDrm.so is still there too).

Tell me what happens then. Is it still fixed?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] AgoYaMo:
Weeeell... I dont know how linux works xD but I tested it and they can be both. And yes, the video lag is fixed.
