Ambient Notifications, Christmas Edition

Here are the ambient notification files.

Nothing new, just the framework-res and SystemUI files modified for [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] Christmas edition ROM in a flashable zip like before.

Remember, it doesn't work on pick up, that's the reason it isn't included in the ROM.

-- Edit: Sorry for the typo guys. If someone grabbed the version posted a few minutes ago, use this one instead. It's fixed now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] carole6m:
So is anyone still experiencing audio stuttering at all? I did a clean install and the audio seems to be the same as the previous version. When Pandora is playing there are small breaks here and there. Notification sound has some noise too occasionally. Not sure if this is carrier related but I'm with Sprint. Is there anything I can change in STweaks that might fix it? Thanks!

You should try it. I think its smarter instead of using a bunch of "tweaks". These might even be the explanation for the battery issues some users encountered (like me) with the other rr free kernel (kt)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rauschkugl:
I won't. Kt works great without any problems. Especially battery wise, there are no issues. If you had problems it was your setup but not the kernel.

And performance is also great.

I see no need in using a kernel with workarounds to not have reboots anymore when there is one where everything is fixed without using old stuff.

Nothing against alucard though. He's a good dev.

Screen on was only gaming with the need of an Internet access.

If you take this as an example I end up with 56 hours uptime and 5 hours screen on playing games and you call this a battery issue?

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505G mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] schnip:
Id rather use proper code even if its old instead of tweaks. I dont think of the kt solution as a fix. At least not yet. To me it seems like he approximated to 100% rr free solution with trial and error. We will probably have a proper solution soon when samsung brings out its own version of 4.4
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rauschkugl:
It's no tweak. He used trial and error to find the reason because nothing was in the logs. Then he fixed the code. I can't see were this should be a tweak. This is called development.

Alu used a tweak to get it working.

But anyway use what you like, I'm staying with kt.

Added some more screens that show your battery issue ;)

I'm thinking you need to go into Xposed Installer -> Modules and uncheck GravityBox (if it's already checked), then reboot the phone, go into Xposed Installer again, open Framework, hit Install/Update, reboot once more... then go back in Modules and re-enable GravityBox.

Oh and by the way, XuiMod has suddenly dissapeared from my app drawer. I tried re-enabling it, rebooting in between and whatnot... nope.avi, it's no longer there. Funny thing, the phone's been running on a clean, fresh install for less than a day when this happened.

Oh well, guess I should full wipe again. Hope you bring the FINALest™ build of this ROM, soon, [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION]. Having to full wipe so often makes me fully weep :( :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] schnip:
This "special" version of kt kernel on this rom reboots for me. The one from his thread does not. I just feel more confident with alucard kernel. I like his approach
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
Not sure what alucard's approach is. Regardless, even though Dan's ROM already incorporates KT kernel, I manually flashed it afterwards anyway. No random reboots here. Just some force closes on some apps that used to be rock stable for the three months I've been using SlimBean... but maybe that's because the app devs didn't make their apps fully compatible with KitKat yet. :confused:

Why u added unecessary apps like CM File Manager, Equalizer, Gallery and "Launcher3"? Last build =/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
1) File manager = quick setup of your phone after flashing

2) equalizer is amazing and works like a charm

3) gallery is self explained, the ROM comes with a camera so its should get a gallery too

4) next time ill ship your ROM with NO LAUNCHER and see how you like it, be thankful I even gave you an up to date source launcher, Samsung shipped all their LEGIT GPE customers the 4.3 launcher with a black status bar in 5.0... and KK UI sounds...

there is NOTHING wrong with what we shipped, if you don't like it, delete it. your post is useless in a dev thread, you can easily remove whatever you don't want from a zip before flashing,

Amazingly, without a competent file manager you can't uninstall anything we include by default. Some people are just stupid.

Windows, Linux and Mac OS come with file managers, why not Android?

What's the point of the on-screen navigation bar if you're going to use the hardware buttons?

It doesn't have to be so, but I thought it made sense.

The navigation bar is stock height and the back and recents keys are in their stock placement.

This is the reason I dislike xposed :/ People seem to get wild ideas about how a ROM should be.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chrisknife:
same problem here.

also i got a problem with the keyboard layout.

like always swiftkey ist one of the first things to install and it works well like always but now there is a little problem.

when i'm promted to enter some text and it automaticly pops up the keyboard, the layout changes from normal qwertz layout to us qwerty layout.

it works perfectly fine in whatsapp an other apps but not when the system automaticly shows the keyboard for me to enter something.

i looked into the settings a million times because of the language and layout settings and everything seems right, also in the google keyboard settings.

so i don't know whats wrong and how i could fix it...

thanks guys! besides that everything works great. hope battery life will be good
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] das_ouphe:
Great ROM, thanks for your hard work. I (and it seems other people in this thread) do have a problem with lots of "unknown contacts" shown in my call log. Only a few contacts show up correctly. It doesn't seem to be related to gmail or exchange accounts and I don't think it's related to an import of a previous backup of contacts. I do know that when I type in a mobile number, the call will be logged as unknown contact. When it's selected from the log (clicking details) there's no information about the phone number.

BTW some people seem to get stuck in an endless Android boot screen after flashing this ROM, just wipe and flash again. This worked for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jwedda:
I Had been running the dec 18th release for the last 5 days. loved the speed. Stability was quite nice as well.

My issues were that some settings were not stored correctly, like tapatalk being detached from the playstore but getting updated all the time anyway. The camera had a few fc's. I was unable to mount an external drive with my otg cable.

So I just downloaded the zip, backed up everything to my sd card, rebooted into twrp and reversed the formatting for the system, data and cache partitions back to EXT4. This followed by a successful flash of this GPE rom.

I haven't been using it much yet, but it doesn't feel as fast as the cm12 build. It does however feel more stable. OTG still doesn't work. I do miss some of the Cm features and customizability. But I figure that these will come sooner or later to this rom as well.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
OTG works with stickmount, let the kernel settle. I'm getting very good responsiveness and battery life and same with Kryten, BT actually works too
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jwedda:
I have tried stickmount, might be the usb stick however, was a freebie xmas stick from some catering company.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] romhetman:
What's the point of the on-screen navigation bar if you're going to use the hardware buttons?

I agree but what about the menu button? Not always it is showed in the program by default! For example in the Google launcher! I understand that it can be hold on the home screen and settings will come up but still...

Also stock is good but still people make custom ROMs to make it different and the point of exposed is also to make changes to stock!

But as I said I like it allot navigation bar is the only thing that was missing in this ROM and now we have it thanks to you! So don't bother it is a great ROM I just see that allot of people share their thoughts about it and posted my one!

Sorry if it sounds rude!

---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

I imagine since you're posting it here it's not a problem with your carrier or you just don't have good signal in your location and you've tested with a different ROM and don't experience the same problem. If so, try updating your modem. There's a GS4 modems thread on XDA.

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

Did this problem occur on a different ROM? If so then it's likely you have a 'bad' battery (google it). If not then use an app like Better Battery Stats to find out the cause.

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

Android 5.0? Latest build?

Sounds like a corrupted file download. Try re-downloading the ROM.

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

I realise the question isn't directed at me but I imagine that more customisations will be added in time. The aim of the ROM isn't to be as customisable as CM but rather a slightly improved stock ROM.

Go into settings > sound & notifications > other sounds

Disable 'vibrate on touch', see if the double vibrations occur, if so then it's likely an app causing the problem. If not then, re-enable it. Try a reboot possibly? Haven't heard any other reports of this problem so it's most likely a 3rd party app.

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

Unless bandwidth is a problem, just download the full zip and dirty flash. It effectively does the same thing.

That's not possible yet. May take time to figure out how to implement it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Sure, but that's the GEL default behaviour ;) On a phone without a menu button you're forced to long press the homescreens to access things like wallpaper or widgets.

You raise a point and it's not hard to enable the chocie between disabling the buttons or not. You can look forward to it in the next release for sure.

Made a clean install and I'm experiencing these problems:

1 - My phone is in portuguese and with 24hr clock, but when I turn on/restart the phone, the language changes to english and the clock to 12hr mode. These occurs only in the lock screen, the moment I insert my pin/unlock code everything corrects itself.

2 - When I open an app "folder" it shows a "lock" symbol next to the folder name. If I press the lock, the launcher3 crashes and restarts.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TasEsmuEs:
Great

Thank you for your hard work and have a nkce xmas time.

About some problems -

1) I installed stock Google Now launcher and it asks me to clear defaults. Of course, they are already cleared and this option is greyed out for stock launcher. Tried to copy to system with no luck, because some structure of apps have changed since lollipop.

2) Screen sometimes turns back on instantly after i lock it with power key. (i reply in whatsapp or sms, lock the phone quickly and screen goes on again)

3) If you dont want to lose signal and mess up radios, do not change network type using settings menu. There are too many options and choosing wrong one crashes settings and you cannot go back without typing in dialer *#*#4636#*#* and choosing right one for your region to get signal back.

4) Included file manager is very laggy and slow. If you can, use ES one in next releases.

5) Would be nice to have option in quick toggles to open location settings by long holding location icon (like its works in tw)

6) Notification led is kinda weird. Its red and green at the same time when charging. Probably kernel related.

Thanks again for your hard work on this rom. Using it since first release and always doing full wipe to update with zip.
