Man, you can't imagine how happy I was reading your post. I'm also disabling almost everything in your list. I also stopped using Google stuff long time ago, my privacy and battery are way better like this.

I suggest you try this for location and Play Store apps updating: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1715375

For contacts/calendar/tasks I'm using fruux services and CM calendar app.

F-Droid it's a must.

Edit: Any doubts or suggestions send me a PM.

You need to update the recovery. Get the latest version from the jflte section instead of jfltexx. Philz merged the variants a while back.

Whenever i try to change some files in your ROM (delete/add) i'm unable to flash it afterwards.

"unable to open zip"

Tried it with winrar and 7zip. This is the first ROM where i can't seem to change some files.

Can you or someone else tell me why? I'd really like to try this one.

I flashed this Rom after usimg Jamals for quite some time. Wiped and everything went well. What bugs me though is that quite a few essential gapps are missing, like hangouts, google+, gmail and so on. Is there a reason for this? It makes restoring my phone after flashing take a lot longer...

I think I've figured out why reboots are happening on all google edition ROMs. I had a long conversation tonight with ktoonsez on hangouts and this is my personal theory as to why this is happening, and also explains why some people are running flawless and others are not.

I want you guys to try using 3G band only. I think this is why north american phones cooperate perfectly with google edition. Our modems operate on the exact same frequency as the official google edition S4 however the international phone use different bands for LTE and support different bands on 3G as well (if you're carrier does not use 800mhz 3G, you might reboot and if you do please please post here

Test and report back, we might be close to figuring this all out

Goodnight guys, more on this later
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] riki66:
I've already posted this in the other thread but i'll post it here too:

I always use 3g band only on my s4 and my phone reboots every 5-10 minutes when the screen is off (no problem at all when charging or with usb). My carrier is I TIM (italian) and i've found on the internet that "I TIM uses the GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / UMTS 2100 frequency bands for its network."
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] aljo00:

Hi! 2 days without reboots since last ROM (for the time being). I'm from Spain, I have movistar 4G LTE. I patched MKE modem (old bootloader- no knox), and all works OK for me except wifi connection speed. Sometimes the speed is drastically reduced. If I disconnect wifi and connect again go back

And I have problems with shazam. Not microphone detected. It's normal??

I had Echoe's KK ROM installed, decided to try this out. Full wipe then when I went to install this rom it completes then when it boots it just sits on the Samsung logo. NO matter how many times I redo the install it gets stuck there.

When I install echoe's rom again it does the same thing. Anyone know what I'm missing? Or wth is happening?

---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

After re-flashing this rom it shows me lines of this message "E:/ can't open /cache/recovery/log" then reboots and gets stuck on the Samsung boot logo. Any ideas what to do to fix this? Do I flash a recovery rom or something?

---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

Not sure what's wrong.

I fixed my problem and thought I'd give this one more try to test it out. However after installing the ROM it showed me the exact same error and got stuck on the Samsung boot screen. I re-installed echoe's KK no problem at all.

This is really weird. Anyone else have this problem when installing this rom?

Your download corrupt? You using latest twrp? Should be fine man
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Sounds like a corrupt download in the first place to me.

7Zip always works for me.

I always hack the zip file before flashing (eg. remove email/exchange/camera/gallery/geniewidget, and add my own hosts+sounds etc)

Just right click the zip on your pc and choose 7zip>open archive

Then drag+drop/delete etc

Just closing 7Zip by clicking the (x) close button will automatically save the zip

I'm on 7zip 9.30 alpha, but 9.20 is also ok.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lun4cy:
download is ok, because i flashed it already to test.

only after changing something in the rom it gets corrupted.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Just because the original download flashed, it doesn't necessarily mean its ok.

When i start up i now have the problem that google search crashes.

I will probably do a fresh install, but anyone has a clue HOW this can happen? My guess would be some corruption in /data/ but how do i get rid of it properly? Any help is much appreciated!

I am pretty happy with this ROM. However, I seem to be having a battery-drain problem, and it is always coming from the same "app" which is "Ultracfg"

No matter what I do, Ultracfg always shows up as top battery drain cause in Gsam battery stats. I tried freezing or unistalling the process with Titanium, but even if I remove it, it still show uo as Nr, 1 Battery draining app in the Gsam Stats.

Is there any way to remedy this, or is it considered "normal"? I could not find much about UltraCfg on Google unfortunately...it does pop up occasionally, but the only advice is to freeze it, which did not work for me...
