Fighting over a Winzip ROM? Guys, Seriously?

On a sidenote, my friend who owns an I9505 and I9505G both reported better battery life when using the stock I9505G kernel. So technically, a GPE rom with stock I9505G kernel should give better battery life. However, even when the devices are the exact same, the I9505G stock kernel on the I9505 causes random reboots. I have spend some time in the past trying to find out the cause for these reboots and trying to adapt the I9505G kernel to work on I9505 and bring back the battery efficiency on stock GPE rom. Turns out the difference in bootloader is causing issues with MMC which trigger a reboot. If anyone is interested, I could post a stock I9505G kernel that would work on I9505 without rebooting like crazy. Although I might need some time because the kernel that I build previously is for Kitkat.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
its a good idea and I agree 19505g stock kernel was better on 4.4.x but on 5.x it's not very good at all, sluggish and bluetooth fails hard while streaming audio

the method used now is to start with i9505 latest source, merge in GPE ramdisk and fix def-config, and this isn't a winzip ROM

https://github.com/Kryten2k35/GooglePlayEdition is how we build and maintain, also alot of smali changes and we have 2 source apps embedded to control OTA updates and Interface settings (basically hooks for all our SystemUI mods)

do you have source I can look at for you're 4.4 kernels?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Lol, WinZIP ROM. Jamal's ROM is most definitely just a just and paste winzip ROM, but ours isn't. Like Dan said, we have two hand written apps, and we've edit some stock files and ported things from AOSP/Cyanogen in order to fix some issues.

Yes, sorry.

I have red changelog and nowhere to be seen warning about not changing to ART!!

I am worried about because of trying for 2,5hours flashing older versions of rom, wiping cache/dalvik etc etc. and nothing helped, will need to restore one week ago and loose important messagess and other, but ok...

DO you know of any apps that let you adjust the brightness in the drop down menu, i dont want to have a widget for it.

I use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness.

At first is kind of complicated but once that you get use to the interface you'll love it, it has a ''superdim threshhold'' feature that really let's you dim more than the default limit, background footprint is very tiny and almost no battery usage.

Im using Smart remote.

I used that before (from 4.2.2) and I kept my remotes using titanium backup. But even the controls that worked before but not now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
ART is fixed, I'm uploading a build now

the changes will be

-teleservice.apk fixed, themed and good to go using ART

-browser.apk removed from the build (AOSP browser isn't ready yet, still a few bugs)

I will upload a small flashzip for users on 1/08/2014 so you do not need to flash an entire ROM, this update only effects 2 files and you can decide if you want to keep the browser, I will also release an entire build for new users to this ROM

cheers

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] AgentElephant:
In the OP it says "This is the latest build for the I9505-G Google Edition S4 official from Google/Samsung"

Shouldn't this mean that this rom should be in the "Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development"

Or is this rom for the i9505 to make it like a Google Edition?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
nope. its the latest i9505g build thats shipped to work on a i9505 :)

also not all phones suffer from the reboots, my i9505 NEVER rebooted on the stock 9505G kernel on Dan's Kit Kat rom (used it for months) and it never rebooted on Dan's Lolipop either (used until the release where Googy's came pre-loaded)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bequbed:
Hi,

After updating to 24th Dec (clean install), my phone reboots itself but after "android" logo screen it turns itself off or reboots again.

Any ideas as to how to overcome this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MohamedN:
I have called a rude because I said the following before, anyhow here it comes again

It's the developer of the rom choice to ship the rom with a custom kernel. He believes that this is for the best for him(whom always loved nothing but the stock kernel on KitKat)

It will give rr, even if it didn't it lags as hell on lollipop. Case in point if you don't like his choice of shipping a kick a#$ custom kernel go flash stock or better off build your own rom

And yea one more thing I'm good boy :banghead:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reactor_sa:
I've been using the kitkat version of this rom since I got my replacement i9505 in August (and the 2x i9505 before that). I'm on the original pre-knox bootloader I9505XXUBMGA (apparently the last of the knox free bootloaders).

Will the lollipop update work with this bootloader? I don't want knox indicator....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
It'll work, but expect issues. I hung onto my MGA bootloader for as long as possible, but since updating I've had significantly less problems.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lan78691:
But won't updating the bootloader to the newest version stop you from rooting your phone and installing custom Roms?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MohamedN:
Absolutely not
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reactor_sa:
No you can still load new roms, but will have knox enabled bootloader.

In my country knox does not affect warranty, I just prefer not having the ugly knox flag 0x1 or whatever it is.

vault-type apps no longer working

hola.

So I moved from CM to this ROM and I'm loving it. The only issue I have noticed is my vault apps (vault, applock etc) no longer function. When I open vaulty and try to import a pic or video, it crashes the app, then reboots it. Over and over.

I have reinstalled the apps, I have reflashed the ROM (clean install), I have frozen the standard gallery app in case this was where the issue lay but all to no avail.

Any ideas on how to overcome this?

EDIT: so apparently some vault apps don't work so well on lollipop. But gallery vault hide does. So feel free to ignore.

Is anyone else facing fast battery drain issue in the new update? Yesterday my battery went from 100 to 0 in mere 4 hours.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reactor_sa:
Nah, still on the GPE 4.4 build from 08-30-2014 with googy 1.2.2, philz 6.58.7, bootloader UBMGA - doesn't get more stable than this! :D

I'd just prefer to avoid the knox mess altogether, my reasons for not having updated bootloader yet is because there has never been a good reason to.

My reason for not having moved to lollipop yet is because there's mixed feedback regarding battery drain, network issues, bt issues, app compatability issues, etc (could be to different device variants, bootloaders, modems, recoveries and flash methods, and so on). And I prefer the black theme for AMOLED. I'll probably wait for the 5.0.1 update before moving to lollipop.

I have the att Samsung s4 and currently using the MDL bootloader. I have read that if you upgrade to MF3 and above you have to flash safestrap recovery (can't use regular recoveries like twrp) to flash Roms and the process just becomes more difficult (i could be wrong) so that is why I was asking.

It may differ for different S4 variants, the international i9505 doesn't have the safestrap recovery you mention, sounds like a hassle :/

To answer your question, kryten said he is having less issues with the latest bootloader, so I guess it helps with stability.

Dont upgrade if you have a locked bootloader (att/vzw), safestrap only works with touchwiz roms.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lan78691:
Yeah after a lot of reading I figured out that it is better for me to not upgrade the bootloader no matter the amount of improvements. I can't imagine a life with having to use touchwiz! I would have to get a new phone lol
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Hexgore:
I flashed this after doing a regular factory reset in TWRP then read on the OP here that I should have wiped /system too. Does this really matter? I thought /system was wiped automatically before the ROM is installed anyway? I just don't want to have dirty flashed so I'm checking.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DevastatorTNT:
Ah :( so I'll probably have to upgrade too... Well, however in April the 2 years warranty will end, so it isn't a big deal. What bootloader are you on? I'm pretty sure my modem issues could be related to this

After 5 days of testing, heavy wifi/mobile data usage, listening to music, messaging, browsing the web, jumping through the apps etc. - my thoughts:

5.0 is stable as hell. On 4.4.4 I was getting reboots every now and then, sometimes 5 times a day, sometimes once a week.

Battery life is mostly the same as on KitKat (talking about Dan's GE of course, only thing I use), which is enough for me.

Ocassionaly audio stuttering, was a lot in first few hours after flash, now sometimes like once in 3 hours for a milisecond? I barely notice it and can live with it, no problem.

Lollipop has its quirks, I love the new recents, notification shade, not intrusive incoming call and material design, hate the new quick toggles in the notification shade. But all that's good went out with gravity box unfortunately.

Lollipop on the outside isn't a groundbreaking change, but it feels more polished. What's going on under the hood is probably great, but these are the things you don't really notice on a daily use. Experience is more or less the same as KitKat, but somehow it feels "cooler".

Huge thanks and respect goes to Dan, Googy and Kryten. The amount of work you people put in this rom just blows my mind. Thank you.

Of course I have one very minor and stupid complaint... I would really love to have text display of battery % on the status bar, simple "50%". The icon is unreadable for me, and the text on the battery is hard to read. I know there was a solution, but it stopped working in the latest build. Can live with that, but if you or anyone found a solution to make that work again, now or in the future build as an option - that would be great.

Have a great new year everyone!

I will see if WiFi problems persist, it seems fine now, maybe my router was just acting up.

Does anyone know if encryption works on this ROM? I had to unbrick my phone after turning on encryption in Kangpop because it corrupted /data. I don't want to make that same mistake again and I want encryption but I have no idea where the bug lies. 5.0 factory seems to encrypt fine, even automatically. I am thinking that rooted Lollipop will break encryption.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
I agree with you about the battery %. A text only option for me would be great as my eyes just aint what they used to be! To get around this i use gsam and set the preferences to show battery icon as text. This just shows a text number in the top left of the status bar which happens to be large enough even for me to read.

The rom itself i am finding to be excellent. 100% stable in both the rom and apps. This also means no bt/audio issues! :) Battery is very good, but not quite up on a par for me compared to tw roms. The material design takes a little getting used to. I didn't like it very much at all initially but it is very much growing on me. I still however think I prefer screens with darker background.

Thank you once again dan, kryten and googy for all your hard work, and an amazing first build of android L! :)

Dan's last cm rom on which i installed an android L dark theme was perfect for me in terms of the overall look of the ui. Perhaps we shall see a cm12 dan build in the future? If so that would definitely be worth the wait! :)

I'm on the latest modem XXUGNK4 and have the same problem. Cell standby is going crazy with over 30% battery drainage. I found out that it helps when you change your preferred network type to 3G instead of LTE, there's still drainage but less than before.

So is this a Lollipop bug or is it the modem?
