[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chillean:
can any of you explain the instructions of intallation?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] interaser:
are you on f2fs?

you must format system; data; cashe f2fs>ext4

good luck.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
Reboot in custom recovery, do a wipe and flash the ROM. You'll find tonnes of video tutorials online.

The led of fully charged is showed when the battery load reach 90%. Is this a bug? With my previous stock rom the led was still red till reach the 100% (actual fully charged).

EDIT: The phone continue charging after the led turn on green till it reaches the true 100%, but it's weird it becomes green at 90%...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dvhttn:
Normal with this ROM and many others. If you poke about a bit you can change when it turns from red to green. Can't remember how myself ....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Rhoban:
With this rom you can't unless using a third party app. It will turn green at 90% on this rom and most other roms. Some roms have the option to change the 100% charged color.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jelleke60:

Pls suggest is it possible to revert back to kit kat if I don't like lollypop.

Pls guide
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] emperorHadrian:
Weird thing, going on for a few weeks now: I deleted the facebook app as it is getting bigger and bigger (over 100MB!!) and it always had to update when I was doing something on my phone, causing apps to close.

After a reboot, Facebook magically reappeared, and was updating itself from the play store. After a deleting and rebooting, it came back, again!?!? I found out that after a reboot the app version is 39.0.0.26.something, and it immediately tries to update to 45.something via the Play store.

I already did a cache wipe and a dalvik-cache wipe, but the problem of the reappearing facebook-app remains. Is this some feature in this ROM? Or should I look further into my apps?

I use Spotify, but it is not linked to my facebook-account. Any other ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reg66:
What about uninstalling Facebook then going to play store/my apps and make sure it's deleted from your app list
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reg66:
IIRC yes, you can go back to kk without issues
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kaseykrehbiel:
Did you look in data/app? Sometimes the app storage gets kluged and you have to go delete the app folder(s) in there. Last time it happened to me it was the Google app that had to update every reboot, and I had a ton of com.android.somethingorother folders all happily named with -# (-1, -2, etc.) in /data/app. If you have copies of com.facebook.katana or com.facebook.orca (I think one is FB and the other is FB Messenger) try deleting/moving those.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] emperorHadrian:
That's what I initially did. After a few times I went to the Play store website to make sure the app isn't in my list.

I went into an adb-shell su-ed to root and deleted them all. It still came back, and now I renamed the apps file name, which causes an error-message on my screaan saying "com.facebook.katana has crashed". Which I don't mind in this stage, knowing the app isn't there.

It has now been a day since I removed Facebook, and I haven't rebooted yet. As soon as I do that, before I can type in my SIM-pincode, there is this Android message saying "updating app 1 of 1". Which - I know now - means it is reinstalling facebookm version 36.something. After I have unlocked my screen, a Play store icon appears in the top bar, saying that is is updating Facebook. *sigh*.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] xDark_:
Update the app in the play store :P

Which version of Viper do you use? There is a 4.x version but then a 4.2 version as well?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
FX 2.3.2.0 works great with this ROM
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] E_Cartman:
What exactly do you mean by disabling? Not checking the boxes inside DSP manager, removing it, freezing it with Titanium? :confused:

Edit: Solved! Of course I already had viper selected under sound effects (in system settings) before but the mere existence of DSP manager seems to have interfered. After freezing it with Titanium, everything is fine.

Any specific settings I need to get Lightflow working on this rom? I installed it and configured it as normal, at first it seemed ok but then I turned the screen off, it showed the charging LED and then the LED just turned off. Then the LED stopped working entirely even after reboots. I tried with root mode and without. LED works without lightflow.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rauschkugl:
Did you give lightflow permissions to read notifications? It's in the security settings of Android.

Ok, trying to get this rom installed. Replaced cwm with Philz version which gave me better logging

Tried downloading the rom from several mirrors and both same outcome

Errors:

Installing update

format () expects 5 args, got 4

E: Error in .storage/.............zip

(status 7)

Aborting Installtion

Looks like a partition issue, and I thinking it could be down to "[/sd-ext]" as mine is listed different.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaTrED_:
Try an older version of Philz's recovery such as 6.08.7! It may work!

That error is due to ROM/scrip updater... the ROM dev should update/correct something but it's away beyond my knowledge and as such my debate ends here! :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rauschkugl:

Whats the best way as opening from a zip, its refusing me to save it back. If I uncompress, change and recompress, the zip file is twice as large.

Update, used the large file, got the same error.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Open up the zip on PC with 7Zip

extract updater-script and edit with Notepad++

Save back to zip and copy back to device

flash through recovery

Hello, love the ROM only problem is that I use a jawbone UP band that syncs through the headphone socket. Ever since I switched over to this ROM I have between unable to sync. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mupet0000:
I switched to this rom after using jamals Google edition rom, but I'm having the exact same problem. I can't record video, the camera force closes. It worked at first on both roms but after a few reboots it just stops. I can't pin down a particular app that's causing this, what can I do?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] slewis1972:
Cheers. Did not get time to test but using twrp recovery, it flashed the large compressed file I had created with the change and installed. Now just setting it up.

Quick Q

Hi Guys,

I am currently on Omega V21 (Android 4.4.2 - XNA5).

My current recovery is CWM Touch.

Is it possible to flash this rom after full wipe?

Or do i need to flash some bootloaders/modems or recovery beforehand?

Thnx!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rauschkugl:
You need nothing before. If it shouldn't work try with the latest twrp recovery.

Nobody can tell you if you have to update your modem if you don't tell your current one though. But it should work if it did on the omega Rom.

Click download. When it's done, use a root file browser to go to your cache director and delete update.zip (should be around 500mb).

Then go to the update notification and press install. It will count down and then do nothing, because you deleted the update.zip.

Reboot and the notification will be gone.

I came from CM12.1, did a clean install formatting system, cache, data, even internal storage, but I had lots of errors, everything was laggy, camera didn't work, wifi problems, lots of FCs....

I flashed TW lollipop with 4 files (boot, pda, csc, modem) and pit (checking repartition).

Then booted once, and again went to download mode, flashed latest lollipop (pda only), then let it boot to ensure all is working.

Then flashed latest TWRP, and did full wipe (system,data, cache, internal storage ) and flashed GPE rom+gapps

It's been working flawlessly last 2 weeks.

Great rom, great job, no stupid exaggeration where they say Amazing performance, best battery life, great speed...and and then all is buggy and slow!

This is truly smooth and awesome, best ROM I've ever tested, better than even CM12.1 which I've been using 4 months and updating every few weeks.

Of course, camera is crap, but the HTC M9 ported camera works pretty well, some bugs but takes very good pictures. :)

Calling still barely working. I'm about to switch back to CyanogenMod 11, this problem is so bad.

Every time I call, the signal will drop to no service and sometimes will make the call. Sometimes the service will come back, other times it will just stay dead until I go to network operators and click T-Mobile. Then, a) it will call fine until the service stays dead or b) it will give me a cellular service is not activated " when trying to make a call or if I click T-Mobile on network operators.

This problem is the straw on the camel's back. It's making my mom seriously consider switching to an iPhone (it's her phone). Help?

I'm running the 4.4.4 version of this ROM since it is light and quick, inverted colors, and relatively bug-free; I am not interested in an upgrade to 5.0.1 that is bloaty or buggy or back to the ugly black on white apps. However, I would really love to run this thread's ROM if it were based on this new 5.0.1 and were relatively bug free (lightweight and inverted).

Very eagerly awaiting the possibility of that happening here!!

But until then, what is the simplest and lightest way to disable the annoying and now persistent "System Update Available" nag?

right out the gate you will notice this thing is fast! I haven't encountered one issue yet except for the Camera, but I believe a firmware upgrade will do the trick but as of right now on 4.x bootloaders/firmware it will not connect to camera

here is what I want you guys to try while I sleep

Odin to stock latest Samsung firmware to upgrade bootloaders/modem/etc

Boot 5.x touchwiz

Open Samsung Camera to make sure its working and on the latest firmware

reboot to download mode

Install custom recovery

full wipe

flash 5.1 initial build

test camera

things I've done so far:

Debloated all the google market apps

Rooted and integrated root into Settings

Long press recents

Tethering unlock for some carriers
