Problem: how to connect contact with with Facebook?

From people, I've just the Google plus option.

Obviously I've installed Facebook and messenger, also I can access to the Facebook option from system /sync /account
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Murthick:
If you just want to sync existing contacts with Facebook then you can use an app from the PlayStore, there are many different ones. Sync.me is quite good. If you want to sync phone numbers from Facebook then it gets a little trickier. There's an xposed module called XFB Sync for that but it only works with older versions of the Facebook app.

Unfortunately Facebook and Google had some disagreements which is why Facebook sync isn't available by default on stock Android devices such as Google Play Edition devices.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Piippes:
Forgot to mention that I don't have a PC

That is quite strange. I did a clean flash and it doesn't work at all for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tuniel:
As far as I know you cannot flash any modem without Odin onto a pc. Mobile Odin definitely doesn't work and there are no cwm flashable modems for the i9505.

I'm not sure if it is your case but, if you have an old gsm modem, as soon as you turn off the screen you get no signal. This is no matter what kind of install you made (clean or dirty) the only solution is updating your gsm modem - can you borrow a PC with admin rights?

Googy kernel or Ktoonsez kernel?

Personal thoughts
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Alucard :D (you will find a link in my signature ;))

EDIT: Not saying one kernel is better than the other etc as this would be breaking XDA rules and I wouldn't want to do that now would I lol, although if I did get banned I would have considerably more time on my hands haha.

Seriously, and this is personal preference - I use Alucard on this ROM and find it does a very good job, that being said I used googymax until recently when googy ceased development of it (although it is still an extremely good kernel in it's current form ). KT is also an excellent kernel but likewise this hasn't been updated for a while either.

Best thing to do is try them and see what works for you ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SkyKer93:
Ktweaker has the best Settings app with awesome features. I just love it in, using this kernel since I own my s4.

Googy and Alucard have the best battery life but less features.

At least you need to decide, just try both and use the kernel cleaner script for the s4 before changing them.

Sorry for the seemingly OT..

Tapatalk.

I am getting a serious gcm_lib wakelock, which I have never had before.

I have three other devices and none of the others have this problem.

I am on the 7/17 build still, I know the most recent build brought back a few apks from earlier builds.. Might my older build be the reason for this?

Thanks in advance.

(better battery stats shows that the wake is not in the kernel and is a partial, which is why I am asking here..)

Crashes

Hoping someone can help out... I'm familiar with flashing using recovery and Odin but a bit stuck here and don't want to make a mistake

I've installed this ROM (wanted as close to pure S4 Google Edition/Stock as possible) on my wife's S4 after a full wipe and all seems well initially but she's saying there are random crashes and other glitches, even after re-flashing and updating the ROM version as new ones were released. A custom kernel is definitely installed and I know this is mentioned in the first post.

Trying to figure out why it was crashing - I've found in this thread people mention that the Modem/Radios or bootloader might need to be "updated" - this is where I'm not sure how to proceed. I've found the thread with the modems and bootloaders but I can't seem to find the correct one - and it's not the kind of thing I want to "guess".

I've attached a photo of the back sticker under the battery to 100% verify the model.

Also not sure if this model is LTE or not? - where most of the confusion comes from (don't think it is)...

Which modem/bootloader do I need to install to make this ROM stable? It's a UK S4 on the O2 network if that makes any difference.

I'm usually pretty good with stuff like this and can normally figure it out but would appreciate some help if possible. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
What I do instead of searching the modem thread for the individual files to flash I just go to sammobile.com and flash the latest stock TW ROM for the i9505 (make sure is not a ROM for a specific carrier like Sprint or similar, the ones that are for a specific carrier usually state that on the ROM name) I don't mind the country, last time I flashed one stock ROM from Italy and I'm in Costa Rica because all I cared was the modem/LTE/bootloader files and then I flashed the ROM I wanted.

1-Download the latest TW stock ROM from sammobile (You'll have to create a username and password to do so but it's free)

2- Flash trough ODIN, this will update EVERYTHING in your phone (modems, bootloader, recovery and other stuff)

3-After finishing the flash the phone will reboot itself into recovery and perform more updates and then it will reboot, most likely the first boot after the flash won't boot or will give errors since flashing the Stock ROM does not wipe internal/external memory so you have to reboot manually into stock recovery and do a factory reset and then it will boot properly into the stock "Welcome" set up screen.

4-Reboot into download mode and flash a custom Recovery with ODIN

5-Boot into the custom recovery, full wipe and flash the ROM and kerenel

6-Profit!

The entire process never wipes the external SD so you can copy the ROM/kernel zips beforehand. You can always flash the individual modem files trough ODIN but IMO flashing a stock ROM is the best way to update everything and to the same version, never had an issue with this procedure and I do it every few months :good:

Sorry for the OT
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] alsheron:
That's great - really appreciate you writing all that out! Makes perfect sense to do it that way. Thanks very much! :)

One other thing. This ROM seems to come with a custom kernel already - does it need a kernel to be flashed in addition to the ROM and also which do you recommend? I saw that one of the recommended kernels looked like it was discontinued?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kees1982:
This ROM is by default shipped with the stock kernel which gives the majority of the users random reboots.

Choose one of mostly used custom ones:

Ktoonsez

Googy (indeed discontinued, but ok)

Alucard (using it myself atm)

Just pick the GE version of these kernels and you should be fine!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Just a quick heads up for those of you who flash the full TW firmware from time to time.

Always boot the TW firmware initially and open up the TW camera app, as occasionally Samsung issue camera firmware updates in with the firmware itself and as far as I know, this is the only way to receive camera firmware updates. Opening the tw camera app will perform any camera firmware update should it come with the tw rom

Just flashed today, everything seems to be running fine, but I have some questions:

Is there a way to set different ringtones to different contact groups? The Samsung phone/contacts app had this; I had it set to my family and my patients had different ringtones from everyone else.

Moving apps to SD card- is there a way to do it? I'm thinking FolderMount, but that's a LOT of folders I have to go through. I don't mind monkeying around with filesystems.

Turning the soft keys backlight off. I can disable the backlight by editting sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_brightness and turning the value from 255 to 0 (then save and exit), but the change does not stick on reboot.

Any help appreciated.

I just flashed in this ROM into my i9505. Its very smooth with default kernel. I understand from OP that I may get random reboots so I tried installing the suggested Kernel in OP. I flashed in the GE edition custom kernel but upon reboot, everything was laggy and really unusable. I had to flash the ROM back again with default kernel and the smoothness is back.

Am I missing something here?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] skavis:
Pull Down Notification Bar

Ok, so I am having an issue, the ONLY issue with this ROM.

The notification drop down... I have Wanam and Exposed and can customize it, HOWEVER I can't seem to figure out how to move them around or have the settings work as they used to on the TW roms.

For example, If I click on the wifi button from the drop down it bring me to the wifi setting page instead of turning on and off my wifi (which I would like) or volume options to quick switch to silent mode (instead of bringing up the volume slider)

Are those quick setting gone? or am I just unable to figure it out due to my stupidity, if so... please explain how.

This feature is what I used most on my phone, going into work or leaving the house, bluetooth, data etc..

If this is possible could someone please explain how I can enable it to be the same as it was. To be able to operate these function from the pull down and not just be taken to the setting page? Am I to forget about my love of the customizing of the drop down as it was (click and move)?

Thanks!

Abit of an unrelated topic, but whats TW/GE on googy kernel and which one do i download

Edit: I'm guessing its GE for intl since there GE on the name of the rom..?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] synogy:
TW = TouchWiz (Samsung's own OS brand)

GE = Google Edition (Google's own OS brand)

You'll want GE if you're using Danvdh's Pure Nexus / Google Edition ROM (see first post)

Go into recovery and then select wipe and tick to wipe dalvik and cache.

It'll rebuild your app cache, see if that works...

About the errors and vibrations, sounds like a bad download or an error during flash. Had it happen a couple of times. Check md5 of the zip, wipe and flash. If still having problems redownload the ROM.

Sound Issue

Hey, been using the rom for a few days now, worked great, i was using the GE rom, then i decided to try the pure nexus rom, after switching to this, my sound wont come out of my headphones anymore, and when I try to play music with my headphones in it will say "music can not be played". My assumption would be my headphone jack is broken, but It was working seconds before and only stopped soon as I switched to the new rom. So i switched back to the GE rom but problem still persists, was hoping maybe there's a fix for this? Or I may have to try getting a new headphone jack but decided to try here first.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Murthick:
Is it just your headphones or is it the speaker on the phone as well?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] loki9:
just headphones, infact anything i plug into the headphone jack does this not just these specific headphones. all other forms of sound work constantly even with headphones in, but like i said music will not play while something is in the headphone jack. then it will work once its removed. So really just sounds like its broken but the fact I was just listening to music and decided to try switching roms and then it stopped working led me to believe an issue in the rom. And now I actually have more to add. I have the Ktoon google kernel, that was recommended for international variants which again was working fine and now im starting to get random reboots, however I feel I can just reset the default settings and that will be fine im more worried about the sound as I'm someone who loves their headphones lol, just thought that bit of info may aid in the cure for my mime headphone issue.
