Hi all,

I have a problem with Google search. I have no option to search on the device, so I cannot look up for contacts nor for apps on my phone. I checked my other devices and if I press the option search on device (that being tablet or phone) I see a list, while on my s4 I don't see a thing.

Furthermore when I try to delete say the apps history under account and privacy menu of the search app, I get internal error.

This bugs me a little, as I cannot use voice search to call contacts or send SMS... It only works if I set my language to English, but that doesn't quite work ad I'm Italian...

I did a full wipe and installed latest version with KT kernel.

Anyone else can replicate or has a solution fort this? Where some needed files removed in the last update? As far as I can remember it worked in June version, but I didn't check in July's one.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Ritvars:
Hi everybody!

I have occured a problem which is random vibrations and force closes on apps. I have the latest GPE ROM with Googy 1.1.5 kernel. Sorry if this question is already discussed, but I have no time to search now. This problem really bugs the hell out of me. Answer would be highly appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
You will always get a couple of random vibrations on each boot with Googy installed.

Its been there since the first Googy kernel, and hopefully he can sort this out one day.

As for your force closes, "force closes on apps" is a little vague.

Which apps? Have you tried clearing data for the apps in question?

How did you install these apps? From the playstore or via TB?

If via TB did you restore app+data? If so, don't.

Also worth clearing cache+dalvik
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Ritvars:
Yeah, with Alucard I didn't have these kind of problems. If I'm in an app and the vibration occurs, then there comes force close. Surprisingly, these apps are the ones that I installed through GPlay not TB. They where Pyramid solitaires (2 kinds). Sometimes browser force closes too and so on. It could happen on any app. And yes, I regularly clean apps with CCleaner, to theres that.

I guess I should flash Alucard kernel then, because I didn't experience any of this with it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tuniel:
i did some experiments

full wipe

install 06/26 version --> search is ok (requires to update google play services)

full wipe

install 07/17 version --> search is ok

full wipe

install 08/19 version --> search is nok, google service app is also having troubles when deleting files (internal error)

in the end I think i nailed it down: the updated google play services app that Dan included was messing around. i replaced it with the one coming from 07/17 version and everything works like a charm...

just posting here in case anyone else is having troubles :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Same here.

I get nothing in the "Phone Search" screen

Which app was this exactly mate?

Is it /system/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dboechat:
Also with Googy, Titanium Backup hangs everytime it runs the batch action "redo backups for modified data". This doesn't happen with any other kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tuniel:
That would be gmscore.apk in system/priv-app
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] valenfrank:
Anybody would be so kind to link me which alucard kernel I should flash with this rom?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I narrowed it down and I believe that's the one:

(Kernel-Alucard-V2.0- For 4.4 Google Edition)

Am I correct?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaTrED_:
Yes you are mate!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] valenfrank:
I'm currently trying to set up this amazing rom but I am not able to switch off the led while the phone is charging.

I've tried using gravitybox, lightmanager (from playstore) but nothing seems to work.

Any ideas? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Crussader:
Look for "Disable Charging Led" Xposed Module
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rauschkugl:
Gravitybox should work, I'm using it myself. Did you reboot your device? Some settings need a reboot to work.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] valenfrank:
Could it be related to the kernel I am using? Right now I'm on Alucard. What about you?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
ive done more research on the "phone search" screen, seems like theres a bug inside google search as i cannot repeat this with earlier versions

rest assured, its not the ROM its the app
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tuniel:
Dan, I didn't mean to blame it on the ROM, but I also have tried different options.

I tried earlier ROM versions and it's fine. I tried 8/19 version and it's not. I used also previous version of the search app, but no luck.

I pulled gmscore from July version and placed in 8/19 version and now search is working fine.

Today google play updated google play services app and still works...

Whatever it was, by replacing gmscore.apk with a previous version fixed it
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
Interesting. Gonna have to update then. No biggie
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Yup, gmscore from July's build works fire me also

It is recommended. I didn't and everything is fine. It may not be fine for you. If you don't, at least do a dalvik cache and cache wipe.

I've tried flashing this ML6 modem however it won't change, still on MKE. Why can this be? Related to boot loader somehow? Thankful for any help!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] skorzo:
I'm very curious..

Now that ktoonsez made the kernel and we haven't reboots, Is the real cause of the reboots really known??

Were they modem related? Kernel related? I guess that kernel is fixing the reboots but reboots were not caused by the kernel itself

Did you select "yes" to fix root after flashing?

If so then that's why......try flashing supersu zip via recovery. Also force stop gravity box as it may still get rejected.

[MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION]

I don't know if it is just because this is the first time I try a Google Edition ROM (or a KitKat ROM, for that matter), but damn, this thing IS FLYING.

I've been stuck on SlimBean for the last few months, and I thought THAT was fast. Then, it started to choke up on me when I long pressed the home button and figured "yep, I'm not gonna wipe data just to set up the same darn ROM all over again". Flashed your thing + KT's kernel and it blew my mind.

I actually put the phone down when it first booted up, thinking "hey, this might take a while, I have time to..." but nope, didn't get to do anything, it was already booted up, lol.

So, I think I just want to say thank you... in like 5 paragraphs :D. So far, the ROM looks good, but... darn, I'm gonna miss JellyBean :(.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Misk77:
Really like your rom..really really fast.. And smooth.. And like your choose of kernel :good:

What does this mean?

And are there a problem if PDA and phone ain't the same? And how to close this.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Demomanca:
Great ROM. Only drama I have is with Bluetooth track names not working.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
use poweramp, it needs lockscreen support to show music track names
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Demomanca:
Yeah, tried power amp, doubleTwist and play music. None of them work, and I can't get it to work with any of the ge ROMs. Starting to think its my head unit, although touchwiz ROMs all work
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] AMoosa:
Minor quibble..... can we have the H+ icon in a future release please?

Desperate need of help >>Wifi issue<<

Hi Guys,

I understand that this issues has been mentioned too many times already.

But I cannot get this to work.

My Wifi doesn't work. Just won't enable.

Solutions that I have tried:

flashed different modems by oding 3.04 --> shut down phone completely, boot in download, place modem in Phone, flash file.

Modems flashed:

I9505XXUFNB8-WiFi-FIX(NON-HLOS)

I9505XXUGNE8-WiFi-FIX(NON-HLOS)

I9505XXUGNG2-WiFi-FIX(NON-HLOS)

I9505XXUGNG8-WiFi-FIX

Flashed boatloader:

BL_I9505XXUGNG8_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT

None of the actions solved my wifi issue.

Could someone please help me......???

Current Baseband version:

I9505XXUGNG8
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Sounds like the symptoms of having an old bootloader with a new non-hlos.bin, but you say you've flashed all the above.

How are you getting the phone into download mode?

By using a rom's power menu, or by fully powering off then booting up into download mode manually?

If you're doing it via a power menu, you may think you've flashed the above when perhaps you have not.

If you are fully powering-down to flash in Odin, then I assume you have also attempted the following:

1. toggling wifi off/on

2. rebooting

3. A different kernel

4. Connecting to more than one router

5. Other ROMs

6. Clean installs

If the answer to all the above is yes, then it may be time to download the current official firmware for you device/region from SamMobile. Boot it up and ensure wifi works (and go into camera app to possibly update camera firmware) and if all looks ok, then re-root and flash this rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
Can someone link the GMs core from the July build?

Is there a way to turn off the Auto adjust screen tone? Like in TW ROMS. don't understand why they didn't add the option in GE firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
I seriously don't even notice this
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mrmoniz:
Indeed I have tried all of the suggestions:

1. wifi toggling is trying to turn on, but this doesn't work.

2. Booting to download mode always by powering off completely. I even removed the battery in some attempts.

- regular reboot doesn't help

3. tried different kernels, also no help.

4. cannot connect to any router. (cause wifi won't enable)

5. Flashed Omega, (same issue)

6. Used a full wipe.

I'm now downloading the official firmware. Hope that this will help.

Thanks for the info. I will keep you informed of my results
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Szarko:
How do you take a screenshot with this ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Whenever I go into the play store and select my apps and it reports an app that has an update it always takes me 2 attempts to update successfully. The first update attempt fails with error 923.

Also if I get a notification on the status bar informing me of any apps that have an update, if I select the notification it takes anything up to a minute to open the play store.

I don't think this is a problem with the rom itself, rather with Google framework/services etc, but just wondering if any one else is getting these problems.

I'm using the old gmscore from the July build, but I was getting these problems with the latest version also.

I've just done a clear data for the play store, so I'll see if this makes any difference when the next notification of an update filters through.....

By the way Dan, on a side note, I subscribe to all your GPE threads just to stay informed with everything going on. When on my laptop, this is no problem as I edit my bookmarks accordingly, but when going into my favourites on the XDA app, its impossible for me to tell which thread I'm going in on. Is there any chance you could update the thread titles accordingly please, for example to include "INTL" in this one.

Cheers mate.

Anyone encrypt their device?

Can you flash modems, kernels, recoveries and all that jazz if you encrypt your device?

How is performance if you encrypt?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MohamedN:
Nova launcher:

Tab on screen>Shortcuts>Activities>Content Adaptive backlight

Then open that and uncheck

Done, it's off
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ashramrak:
I tried, and had a terrible experience... Performance was ok but I had very bad battery life, and was unable to find a version of TWRP able to decrypt the partition (which means unable to flash from recovery anymore)

I had to flash a stock rom with odin, wipe from stock recovery to get rid of the encryption then reflash twrp and reinstall this rom
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:

08/30/2014

1) WiFi whenever available

2) greenify from the play store to hibernate apps that you don't need notifications from

Have been using this tom for some time now.

Only started to encounter your problem when I started to use it as secondary rom

Vibrations are ridiculous especially during the calls, doesn't matter what kernel you use.

For now I have set the vibration intensity to zero as a temporary solution.

Will update when I figure out what's causing this.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mystique:
Just to make mention of it here..

GoogyMax has retired from building kernels.

So which kernel is the best?

Everything works fine till a random moment, when the signal of carrier drops out and the phone isn't no more able to make calls. No network signal.I have to restart the phone.

What I tried already:

KT Kernel, Googy Kernel, Modem and Bootloader reflashed.

Any other ideas to try? Thank you.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rauschkugl:
Please go to the modem thread and read a bit. It depends on your bootloader what modem and lte modem you will need. You can't just flash any kitkat modem.

It really has been discussed to death on various threads.

Taken the latest NG8 modem and NG8 Bootloader. This combination should match. Maybe there is also an issue with the sim card or the antenna. Because something it runs without any problems for hours, then it drops and come never back since the restart.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rauschkugl:
If you have the same bootloader and also the same lte modem then yes it may be possible. But latest also isn't always the best. You should use the one that was released from your carrier at last. Use the firmware checker from sammobile to find out which one it is.
