The developers are not interested in the Theme Engine, so you might want to use Layers Manager from Play Store as an alternative.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Rhoban:
The idea of a DPS manager is to improve the music listening experience.

If you don't want a DPS manager then you can choose none in Arom (but users have reported problems when using Google Maps) or you could install one and then freeze it.

Good explain !

Is improve all the sound ? I mean video,youtube,radio ?or just on music app?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] celosantosrj:
I did all the things that you tell me to do. And I have the same problem. When I flash the latest TW Rom (I9505VJUGNI2_I9505ZTOGNI2_ZTO) from Brazil, I had 3G normally where I am now, at home. But using this Lollipop ROM I can´t had the same behaviour. The 3G network signal it comes and goes all the time. =(

I had the same problem, so I uninstalled updates to GPServices. In order to do that I first had to disable Administrator rights to Android Management.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Rhoban:
Yes, it should improve the sound on all apps.

How do you get it to not ki the battery? On my phone it discharges and shuts down the phone even connected to the charger.

The resolution of the S1 or S2 (They are the same, except for dpi).

There was only about 2-5 fps increase during the benchmark.

Well, during that 36000 run it was an 10-20 fps increase :D

I use the resolution only while gaming. It is only useful for gaming.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MatteoB92:
But how is your visual experience?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Rhoban:
In-game it is not much different from the normal resolution. I can hardly tell any difference in visual quality.

Out side of a game everything is messed up. That's why it only recommended to use it for games. Even the dev said that it should only be used for games.

This is the app

Just be careful. You might brick the device. If you want to test it, do a backup first!

Do Layers work on this rom now? I tried a few weeks ago and ended up restoring my nandroid backup because I couldn't get anything to work :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] celosantosrj:
Guys,

The last three builds of this ROM I started to be lost network signal so easily. Most of time appears an exclamation point next to the bars network signal. I started to look for information with my Network Operator, Claro, São Paulo, Brazil. I call them, I open a reclamation protocol, but, today I made a several process to understand what's going on.

1) I did a flash using the latest 4.4.3 ROM on SamMobile to clean all possible data on my S4. Using this TW original ROM, in my table at my home I had 3G+ network signal.

2) Then I installed TWRP.

3) And then I installed this smooth ROM again. And, again, I got an exclamation point and no 3G network signal again at my home.

Somebody can help me?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] yurividal:
Can you please tes if you have 2G signal? Go to mobile settings, change data to GSM only, and check if it connects to 2g..

Vivo Brasil has problems with CyangenMod and CM-Based Roms, that dont connect to 2g and most 3g frequencies. GPE edition uses proprietary drivers, and this problem never happened for me on GPE...

Please test it, and if you need, you can PM, and we can talk about it
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] celosantosrj:
I use a "data chip" on my S4. I can´t send SMS or receive or send calls. Just only for Internet and data. And when I choose to GSM only, I got "E" after a delay of time seeing an exclamation point next to the bars network signal. Here, at my workplace I can use 2G (E), 3G (H and H+) and 4G. But in my home, in older versions of this ROM I never had this problem. At home, most of time I had just only the exclamation point and an instabled signal 3G (H and H+). And this situation persists even I have to leave my apartament.

But when I changes chips and use TIM chip, I got 4G on my home. But using this ROM in the older versions I got too 4G with Claro... but not now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dreccon:
Then, what stops you from uninstalling updates to Google Play Services?

Although I'm not using themes, I tried a layer a couple of days ago, just out of curiosity and it worked.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Nimueh:
Cool, I guess I'll make another nandroid this weekend and give Layers another shot - thanks :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] switters1:
Please Help! just got a new I9505 unlocked S4 and rooted and installed TWRP.

Tried to install this ROM but with each kernel option during the install, I end up in a boot loop from "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING. Set Warranty Bit : kernel".

What is causing this? I followed all the instructions so carefully.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cantenna:
Wait 10 mins after install and see if it boots
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] switters1:
Tried all the kernel options. Same boot loop after several hours. I guess this ROM doesn't work on new GT I9505? Is it a boot loader issue? I'll post in the Q&A thread, but if anybody has suggestions, I greatly appreciate any input
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] yurividal:
Make sure you have latest TWRP*(maybe the second latest. I heard that some people had issues with latest version) . Also, make sure you have i9505 and not the new i9515t....

I don't think the bootloader and modem come with the ROM.

You either manually Odin them or you got them using ota updates on the stock Roms.

Anyone experiencing battery drain while playing games? Not sure if its just games these days or if its the wonderful 1080p screen of the S4 that consumes most of the battery but when playing simple puzzle games I'm losing 1% every minute.

Are you serious? Games are always demanding for a phone. Especially bad programmed ones..

Sorry mate, still pretty experienced with this phone as the one I had before was an extremely outdated HTC. So losing a percent every minute in game is normal? The games I am playing are ones like Two Dots and 2048 and other puzzle games

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Install light manager or a similar app from the play store
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Galaxicos:
First of all thanks for the great work! Everything is working flawlessly. The only 'issue' i've seen is the Photos app FC.

However battery drain when using the phone is kind of high. On my Sammy based rom I could easily get around 4-5 hrs of screen on time. Now I cannot get past the 3 hrs. The usage in idle is okay. I am on the old bootloader. I feel like especially with screen-on when I'm on data the usage is extremely high. The kernel I use is goggymax. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I wouldn't like to give in on performance, because as it is 'stock' right now, I sometimes encounter some hickups when playing spotify.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] daniel-t:
I installed JFLTE-GPE 5.0 ROM 12172014 onto my mother's Galaxy S4 a few months ago, and a few days ago, the ota updates app showed a notification that an update "JFLTE-GPE-20150112" is available.

Will this do a seamless update and preserve her pictures, music, texts etc, or do I need to do a backup, and restore after updating?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] AllSeeyinEye:
Why wouldn't you just grab the latest version from the topic start? Or update the OTA app from play store first.

Sent from my GT-I9505
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] daniel-t:
I did update the ota app, and I cleared the app data. I'm more concerned about whether updating the rom from the app is a safe way for my mother to update her phone. Will it keep her logins, apps, content and data? Or if I should handle it for her. She hates having to add her log in details, or updating her settings over and over.

Plus I'm relatively new to flashing ROMs, and wanted my mum to no longer hate her phone, with the touch wiz crap on it :P
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
The version he's on was pre-RomHut integration, so he's getting the updates we set manually :)

[MENTION=2435150]daniel-t[/MENTION]

I'd suggest downloading Titanium Backup to her phone, and backing everything up. Flash the newest update from the OP. If all goes well, you're set. If not, you have a backup of all her apps and app data so you can do a clean install and restore them.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] daniel-t:
Thanks. Does titanium save login data for apps, or will I have to log her in to everything again? I installed helium and SMS bsvkup on there for her, and a backup through twrp before I flash everything.

Also now the ota app has got romhut integration, does that allow for updates that preserve her data? Can the next time she receives a notification about an update, I tell her to just update it, or should I tell her not to touch it, and leave it to me?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
For some apps, ye,s it saves the login data. For others, no. And for some, like eBay, it saves the login data, but things like notifications don't usually show unless you login and out again. Mostly, it's positive.

And, being truthful, I'd get her to leave it to you. I'll be working on a "barebones" version in the future, that won't have AROMA as the installer, and will be better for people like your mum :)

She can also "Ignore" an update and will stop getting notifications about it until there is a new one. Over the next two months updates will be sporadic as I (start and) finish lots of University work.

Also, there's an update coming soon, so you might want to wait.

You tease ..... :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wolfen1086:
Yea I just looked st my device monitor and it has NK2 as the bootloader, and modem, so it either came with Google play rom or its a leftover from the sickness, either way the phone works now, it's listed as an international GT-i9505G, instead of a SGH-M919 but considering everything works, and so far the rom hasn't crashed and the phone hasn't done any random shutdowns I now say this rom is number one

And do you also have smooth audio playback on bluetooth with these settings? And how about gaming? Thx
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dirkdigles:
I have zero skips on bluetooth. Gaming I have no idea because I don't play any games. You might want to keep the GPU max freq at default (450Mhz) for gaming, but try both just to see. Experimentation is key :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Galaxicos:
Thanks will try these out.

It's kind of strange; compared to TW the average RAM usage is about 600 mb less with GPE. Idle usage is also not bad, however the usage with the screen on is too high. I don't game a lot, for me its most important that PowerAmp and Spotify via bluetooth are working without any hickups.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dirkdigles:
PowerAmp has zero hiccups for me. I don't use Spotify so can't comment.

On my phone, I try to use dark backgrounds as much as possible. So my wallpaper is mostly black, I use Textra in black theme, whatsapp dark background, etc. etc. I also have the GPE brightness slider down to the minimum, adaptive brightness enabled. CFLumen app at night to lower screen brightness even further.

Even so, when on mobile data, I swear I only get maybe half the screen-on time that I do on WIFI, not sure if that's because our 3g/4g radio is incredibly inefficient or what. The idle drain on mobile data is really high for me, always has been. Not sure if TW is better in this regard because I never used TW on this phone, went straight to GPE when I got it (I have M919).

I never let my phone completely drain, but on wifi I probably average ~35 minutes of SOT per 10% battery. On mobile data alone, my average is closer to 15-20mins per 10% of battery.

Hi, I don't know if anybody got the same isues, but I'm having a problem with this rom.

Everytime I put my phone (galaxy s4 canadian version) in charge., i close the screen and 2 minute after, when I reopen the phone, it's all glitchy and it's flashing black and I can't do anything. I have to unplug the phone and it's going well again with no bug on the lockscreen.

'm getting tired of flashing that rom 2-3 time trying to find the isue.

I'm running the googymax kernel and I don't know if the problem has something with modem/bootloader ect...

Thank you guys :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Galaxicos:
Thanks for the detailed info. I can confirm the drain on 3G/4G is much higher for me too. Maybe it's because I have an old bootloader en modem. Also the battery save mode is different on GPE than it is on TW. With this mode on I got around 25 minutes on 10% with TW on WiFi.

I will report on my experience with your settings. Thanks again for the tip!

Buttons stay on just fine using the tools I provided. You should NOT use GravityBox with with ROM, or any other ROM that provides you with such tools. IF there is a feature missing and you absolutely must use Xposed, get ONE module to do ONE job.

Really quick n00b question, may have been asked and answered a thousand times before, but I've done a fair bit of searching around and still am yet to find a definitive answer...

What's the difference(s) between a i9505 International JFLTEXX and the i9505 'Black Edition' JFLTE-GPE?

A simple answer will suffice, so I can include the info amongst a Helper Post - similar to the one I wrote for i9100's a while ago - that I'm compiling for Australian users of the i9505.

Cheers for the help!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The Black Edition has a faster processor, a truly black screen, a leatherette back like on the Note 3, some exclusive wallpapers and some exclusive sounds. The two devices are otherwise identical.

The Google Play Edition S4 never came in black, as far as I know. The Google Play Edition had North American LTE bands, but other than that the hardware is identical to the I9505. The only other difference is in the software.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] djshotty:
So, does that mean the GPE's got an Exynos instead of my (*scalding hot*) Qualcomm lag-a-thon? Main thing I'm looking for is whether it's okay to throw the stock GPE ROM on a JFLTEXX? Apologies for being a nuisance, but I'd rather share the right info than have n00bs hit me severely about the head with bricks...:silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jsolares:
GPE also have qualcomm, the i9500 has Exynos, as for the stock rom? maybe, some have had no problems at all, others had random reboot, which is why there's this ROM which is made for i9505 with custom kernel, you could also try the stock GPE ROM with just the kernel if you want.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] djshotty:
In that case, if anyone asks I'll tell them it's okay, but to throw in a TW kernel. Better still, give them the choice of jumping to flatzki's stock ROM, which looks pretty solid according to reports on his thread...

Cheers for the help, mate!:cool:
