Sorry for going a little off topic, but not sure if this is phone based or ROM based:

I used to have an i9500. I then sold it and changed to the i9505. One of the primary reasons in doing so was so that I could convert to a Google Stock ROM. That's why i downloaded this ROM and am really enjoying it.

However, I have noticed that the camera is FAR worse than the camera on my i9500. It seems like the camera app only focuses every so often, and the quality of the pictures is really not up to scratch on how they were on my i9500.

Does anyone know is this is a Google Edition issue, Camera app issue, or i9505 maybe having a worse sensor than the i9500?

Basically, does it mean I need to choose between Google ROM or decent camera?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Thanks for your answer. I was also thinking about the recovery. To install this rom I first need to install a recovery. Won't the install of the recovery itself trigger knox?

This is correct. Need to setup the 4.4 module as its entirely different from 4.3

My problems with LED notification were connected with apps which control notification (for example LockerPro). The LED notification worked fine after reboot but suddenly stopped work. I use of minimal apps, only these I tested by myself and wit no issues.

Try to find app in your phone which is blame for non working LED notification.

Hi guys,

I've got the latest version of [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] ROM and have always been a fan. Recently, my bank upgraded their app to allow Tap and Pay payments on Samsung s4, s5 and note 3 devices. However when I click on the widget to set up my accounts, it does a "check" to see if my phone is compatible than it says that its not. I'm pretty sure it is cause I've triggered Knox and my phones rooted. I've made sure NFC etc is on. Is there any way around this? I was really looking forward to this feature
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rauschkugl:
You can try rootcloak to hide root. It's an Xposed module.

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505G mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Nope, the only workaround is to flash stock Sammy and no more root. Really, would you trust a bank that would allow an insecure device direct access to your money through NFC ?

I thought I might get around my banks root check through root cloak, but it seems the banks have that loop hole well and truly blocked, than God :good:

Switch to ART. Very smooth for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] PLUG313:
really this happens in all roms in all android devices. I recommend a full wipe. it will all be good as new. I think this is due to app data and the number of apps you have installed that run in the background, so if you don't want to wipe try getting rid of all non essential apps.

hi guys i accidentally installed the wrong googy kernel on my i9505 running this gpe rom. its on bootloop now, is there a way to revive it? I cant even boot it into recovery

edit2: I tried to flash the latest twrp 2.7.1.0 via odin but it still doesnt boot
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:

Swapped to ART and now my phone is unusable as it keeps crashing.

Keeps telling me phone and NFC has stopped working and I can't get pass it to the homescreen =(

Any ideas how to fix?

Or shall I just reflash and keep it on dalvik.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Yes, wipe system, cache, dalvik and reflash ROM. You will need to reinstall xposed framework of you use it, and other stuff that gets installed in system but your data will be fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mystique:
Are you running the latest version?

Wipe /system and reinstall will get you a stable os which is art capable.

Unless you are running Xposed; which will revert your art back to dalvik..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] UiK77:
Well that sucks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] droid_1989:
Xposed doesn't support ART as far as I know...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
thats right - it doesn't - oh yeah, I just saw what I wrote lol. Sorry if I got anyone excited or anything haha

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

REALLY - does it?

Root is great and everything, however it could never be considered truly secure at the level needed for using the device to directly access our bank accounts, can you imagine trying to make an insurance claim for identity theft and funds drained, I am sure you would get laughed at in the same way as if you gave a stranger your card and pin number then were surprised when all your money had gone lol.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MaximilianPs:
I've got a similar problem, Wasn't able to flash a recovery, I've workaround the problem by flashing a new recovery directly from terminal emulator. ;) you can try the same I guess
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MotokoK:
Hi,

I am coming from Omega ROM v35. Is there anything I need to take note of before flashing this ROM or do I simply just wipe and flash it?

Thanks for any advice provided.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
yep - just full wipe and flash - enjoy

PS - if you have problems use TWRP as this recovery is supported but I think I remember seeing people having problems with other recoveries.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] UiK77:
Yeah.. Still sucks though.

Will it work on stock firmware even if Knox has been triggered?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
no reason why not so long as you don't have root - I think its root that it is looking for, but in the future with new android L reportedly using knox as default this is a distinct possibility that banks etc will use knox for more security, makes sense really.

But in the mean time go ahead and try, in fact I don't see any reason why you couldn't use and custom rom/kernel combo so long as you unroot once your done flashing stuff ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] UiK77:
Hmm this ROM is pre-rooted.. How do I unroot a ROM? Never had to do that before
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
aw c'mon man - there is a search button in XDA for stuff like this, don't be lazy else people will be directing you to this LOL - but I'll give you a clue - open up the superSU app and see what you can see ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DLAddict:
Open Superuser app, then do "Full unroot".
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] UiK77:
I know.. I was just making sure you guys know. God job fellas lol :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] droid_1989:
In my opinion I would probably say Root is more secure, generally those that root are more technical too, so they know where to go and where not to go.

So I've been using this rom for quite some time & love it, I've never encountered a single problem. However my phone was getting too cluttered (thanks to myself), so I did a full wipe and flashed the latest version with googy for a fresh start. Now when I export a image from Dropbox onto either the internal or external SD, the image appears as a blank dark grey square in Quickpic/Gallery. For downloaded images from chrome they appear fine, and it only seems to happen with images over 3Mb exported from Dropbox.. And when I open Quickpic the whole gallery slows down, and if I delete the Dropbox exported photo it goes back to normal. Does anyone else experience this issue? Or know of a fix?

EDIT: So I just flash Danvdh's 'CM Edition' and this problem does NOT occur, is someone able to verify whether this is happening to them or not please?

And after a restart it is working fine, without the problem i mentioned above.

Additional note i can add is that phone use to get very hot while operating, and with current ROM and modem its working more cool.

I may be done something wrong during first installation, but again, this was what i experienced.
