Hi...does foldermount work for anyone here? I know OP mentions so, but so far I didn't figure out how...It still will say everything's mounted but not really. Sorry for asking but so far nobody mentioned this.

Does anyone move the apps to the SD? If so, how?

Thanks!

Ok, I have installed calendar from Google Play, but it's giving connection issues everytime when I try to connect it for sync... :( (and login details are fine, the same used in Google Play).

I think that something is missing. And by the way I dont understand why calendar is removed from this ROM, I have a Nexus 7 with stock KOT49H and it has calendar included in ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SuperKrog:
no problems here... try cleaning app data and cache and check sycing settings of the google account
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andr01d3:
Ok, cleaning data and cache from settings->apps for Calendar makes it working.

Something weird, because I have installed this ROM with full data, system and cache wipe, so no other calendar data was present.

But anyway, it works. Thank you!

Hello guys :)

I am thinking of switching from jamal's to this rom.

How is it doing so far?

Also i have a few questions, please don't slap me for not reading 200+ pages :)

1. If I want to get the normal look of Kit Kat i have to flash the Standard or Stock Edition and the optional themes? Or is there a version with standard apps?

2. Are there anywhere more screenshots of the Standard Edition so i can have an overlook of the changes to stock? I don't know many of the features of the Standard Edition and i would like to find out if they are useful for me

3. Has the camera app still the bad quality?

Thank you!

As many of you know modern versions of Google keyboard (gboard) doesn't perform very well out of the box on this phones hardware.... however if you goto the google keyboard settings in language and input and enter the "text correction" menu, uncheck both personalized suggestions and suggest contacts and the keyboard will become snappy again just like the good old days :)

This fix works on any ROM

Also im at 200 downloads across both International and North American releases, and all my threads are quiet so im guessing everyone is just enjoying the ROM with no issues :D I know I am!

it's been a total joy bringing Android 4.4.4 back to your phones with all modern and updated Google services. Enjoy it!

Hi mate, how do I go about updating the kernel in your room without breaking WIFi? Just did so on a fresh install, tried alucard and a more updated version of googy but on all occasions WIFi was stucke at Turning on WIFi...

I need to do this as I have some issues with my i9505. The touch doesn't work when I randomly turn on the screen to check notifications etc. I need to force reboot to make it work again.

Question: Can i flash this rom on my i9505 NON- Google Edition S4 jfltexx ?

Update : too late already flashed it :))))
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] y0.o!:
I have no messaging app so I cannot log into play store (2 step notification, text code).

also it vibrates constantly, 3 beeps then 1 more just after.

Have I got a bad download do you think?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FcukBloat:
download an apk of a sms app from apkmirror, send it to the phone via Bluetooth and install it
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] y0.o!:
it doesn't work as theres no file manager program and when I try and go through "storage" option in settings, the app i downloaded I can't select.

this rom makes no sense to me as is. I want it though for it being stripped down and 4.4.4, feels smooth and fast. Just need to get play store working.

I need to find a flashable messenger app
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Android prior to version 6 didn't include a file manager, thus you had to download one from the Play Store. That means you have to get the Play Store working before doing anything. However, from personal experience with this ROM I never had a problem with getting the Play Store working. What kind of error are you getting when accessing the Play Store?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FcukBloat:
this is a flashable root explorer (mixplorer from xda, the best file manager imho).

with this you should be able to do anything if you are rooted. try it and let me know if it works.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] y0.o!:
This worked mate, cheers. Once I flashed this I could install the messaging app and receive the verification text off Google to log into the play store.

Is there a 5.x ROM like this too? Some of the apps I use on a daily basis don't run on 4.x :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FcukBloat:
before this one i was using a gpe rom based on lollipop, but WiFi was completely broken, sometimes it worked sometimes (most of the) didn't work at all, so i switched to this one, which is the most stable and usable for me ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] y0.o!:
Yeah it feels like a great ROM this but I need to use certain apps that's no longer useable on 4.x :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gruuvin:
This is now a five year old phone, and it's normal for a phone of that age to become obsolete, but this is a fantastic ROM, so I can still use it for what it can still do well. Unfortunately, Android 5 was terrible, and so many Android devices of this age run Android 4. It's very smooth.

I hope this question is'nt too stupid....

How can i set the various volume levels? Using the volume buttons just affect the level "involved" (so, if in a multimedia app it changes the multimedia volume, from the home screen it changes the call volume). On my old S3 Neo there was a popup with all the 4 volume sliders (Call, Media, System and Alerts).... i'm not able to set the volumes with this ROM

How can i know what is the cause?

Hi guys, this version is worked on galaxy s4 i545 verizon firmware???
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] just_idk:
is there a version with original launcher?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nikzDHD:
1) Install the stock edition for a plain AOSP look.

2) Standard Edition is a spiced up version of the stock version as noted in the OP. You have inverted apps for Dialler, SMS & Email, which for me is better as they are inverted they are more friendly for the screen.

3) The camera is the AOSP camera obviously not on par with the normal TouchWiz camera but decent.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rauschkugl:
2. You also have Nova launcher instead of gel and xposed with some modules pre-installed. The framework is not yet activated though.

3. It's the quality like on every stock aosp camera. Use snap cam or some other third party app for better quality.

Hey Dan,

I really like your Rom and your work, it's really amazing. So I wonder, if you collect

ideas for other nice tweaks, because I really like your Rom base and its smoothness,

but want to have lockscreen notifications like in Madhis Rom :P

I only want to point you to the idea to implement these lockscreen notifications in your Rom, it would be awesome. :)

Thanks. :P
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kadett-k2:

This is Madhi-Rom and in changelogs there's "Active Display", but he changed it into "Lockscreen Notifications", this isn't the same as "Active Display". The feature is also in OmniRom, https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/q/status:open,n,z

I also found a little video, what it looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27LIMg1rziU

There are also a few options for pocket mode and stuff in the settings of lockscreen notifications... ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Barthlon:
Inverted apps are also in the stock edition ;) So it's not completely stock, but it's the best ROM of it's kind!

Hi guys,

I have read few of the last pages, and I think it is time to move from Jamal rom to this one, since Jamal stopped that project, and I will give this a try. Can you guys help me with some questions if you dont mind?

Is this rom stable or not?

Is there any camera lags or issues?

How is the battery performance in general? is there any kind of drain?

Thanks a lot in advance.

best regards,

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wilbarger:
For me, this is the best ROM I have used with KK. I have never had any FC's or reboots. Battery performance is as good as any ROM I have used also. I do not use the stock camera, but wit Camera ZOOM FX, I have no lag at all. My performance tests have been excellent also, AnTuTu is around 28000 unless I screw something up. You should not hesitate to switch over.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:

Iv turned my development focus to the galaxy gear smart watch, been off the phone development scene for a while now :o Although looks like you guys have it under control anyhow ;)

Sadly the compatibility with the galaxy gear isn't up to par with kitkat just yet.. going to have to wait for Samsung to update the gear dependency's.

UPDATE IN THE OP

01/28/2014

-Updated SU

-Updated GravityBox

-Black txt on black header in recent calls menu via clicking contact number to view history is fixed, the contact name is now visible

-Googledialer no longer has an odex, rebased the whole theme on a clean APK from the stock system dump

-Stock launcher from source now included in the Stock Edition, GEL is an optional flash as the stock launcher is much snappier and only 1.5mb

-Development is now closed on 4.4.2, I will be right back at it with [MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION], [MENTION=4325945]ktoonsez[/MENTION] when we get another OTA from google

-No reported bugs on this ROM, I support 3 variants and know everything is functioning 100%, this has been a big project ;)

might as well clean flash this guys, there will be absolutely no more updates for 4.4.2 as this is rock stable, I mean it this time

running solid on my phone, I released North America yesterday and clean flashed it myself ;)

Hi Danvdh,

Could you explain a bit how does the foldermount thing work? I see you mention that no changes were necessary, but I actually cannot make it work. Is there any step to set on the kernel, or something that I need to do to modify the ramdisk behaviour?

This option is rather important to me as I like to keep big apps/games and the memory fills way too quick, but so far I couldn't find any information googling besides your own reference to this, which I cannot quite understand.

Power on while charging... no more!

I found a workaround for this problem, maybe can help someone who want to charge with power off (like me)

I use the dualboot system to install two ROMs.

Primary Rom: Samsung TW that work perfectly (and charge with power off)

Secondary Rom: Google Edition 4.4.2

Now I'm using for daily usage the GE 4.4.2

When I had to recharge:

1.from Dual Boot Switcher I choose the Primary Rom without reboot

2.Power off the phone

3.Charge the battery with Power Off

4*.When I Power ON: the Primary Rom Starts, swith to Secondary Rom, reboot, the Secondary Rom Starts

*I make a script that switch to secondary rom and reboot then a Tasker Profile that run the script OnBoot.

It Works and I have no other issue..only a delay of some seconds for primary rom boot and reboot to secondary rom.

If you have to use the primary (or secondary) rom ONLY for charging, maybe you can use one ROM with faster boot time.

I tried reinstall rom,but problem not solved
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
I can't see this to be too much of a problem to be honest mate.

As we know, at the moment, when on the old bootloader and on 4.4.2, we can't charge the phone when the phone is off. If we try to do this, the phone switches on. So, the only real problem is the fact that the phone does not remain switched off. Therefore, I assume if the battery is flat and you connect the charger, my guess is that it will just switch itself on (when enough charge) and resume charging after the boot process is complete.

Perhaps somebody on the old bootloader on 4.4.2 with a spare battery (just in case) could test to be sure.
