Realized to check OTA section after posting, always the bloody way haha.

Downloaded it, will install.

Not sure why it was removed along with other as it makes the rom look sleek.

But still nice of creator to make them available to us.

Much apprecaited ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Doing things this way makes the ROM far more flexible in terms of personalisation and obtaining OTA updates on the fly, and also drastically reduces the size of the installation zip.

Eg. you may install the dark theme, and not like it (if you're crazy :D ). To get the normal white theme back you will have to re-flash the entire rom again, but doing so this way would mean a far neater solution (if Kryten was to also include normal themed contacts/dialler/settings in the OTA app of course! :), but I'm sure this will come)

In my opinion, the current method is much better.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ronron6665:
Flexible.... I can't install dark settings. When I try it removes settings and then I have none. That's why I am on the next to the last version.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bemymonkey:
Regarding the add-ons: Any chance we could get an edit in the first post explaining the new installation procedure (with the add-ons) a little better? The info about the add-ons is buried in the changelogs and the last few pages of posts, so it's a little hard to find.

Maybe in the "Installation instructions" section:

Thank you guys SO MUCH for this awesome ROM. I don't think I've ever had this good of an Android experience before, and I've been using custom ROMs since some time around Android 1.6... :good:

-edit- Does anyone else have issues with Google Now's location-based services not working? "Navigate to X" and "Directions to Y" both lead to a blank Google Now prompt...

-edit2- Never mind, a reboot got Google Now working properly for some reason :D

Good but old news [emoji39]
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Drizzythebiker:
It's been driving me nuts for the past week waiting for this to drop. Seems like the news might have been a bit premature.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Octathalamus:
Wow cannot believe how good this rom is. First rom I've used where everything actually works and somehow it's even smoother than the last gpe rom I was on which was already smooth.

Super impressive.

Thanks so much to everyone who works on this rom and kernel. Fantastic job.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] puppynaz:
I actually jumped thinking a new post came of the release date, but it's the same.

You're too late to the party. Now wait in line like the rest of us, m8.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hojnikb:
Could addons all be packed into one Zip ?

I mean, its great that rom is modular, but flashing 10 zips to get all the functionality i want is kinda annoying.

Maybe a Zip for Gapps and a zip for everything else (so a single zip wont be as big). Much better, since you just pick one zip and select the stuff you need via aroma installer.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bemymonkey:
Is there any way to get the proximity sensor to wake the screen (by waving over the phone) built in? I'm currently using GravityScreen, but if this functionality is already in the ROM or kernel (HulkKernel was installed by default, I think), I'd love to do away with the third party app...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rboy28:
I think it's good the way it is. You're doing this once per full wipe (if you do when a new build has been released - and in the moment it's quite until something big is comming) and then never again.

Flashing these 10 files take just a short time.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] marqobazua:
Someone have a working cm browser, the one from the add ons crash on the latest release, i rally really like the aosp browser instead of chrome
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] AllSeeyinEye:
Just download those you need and batch install them in TWRP.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] misha0209:
thanks for the reply,

tried viper, it does have a 6 db boost, but it is by far not enough.

i hope this mod will do better.

i'm editing the files now, but i do not see any entry in the BT field...

any chance you can help me figure out how i boost BT audio?

the rest i can actually live with.

can i get your files, in case you have them modded?

thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] timonoj:
Seems I'm not able to install the Xposed framework, it just kind of washes it off. After installing, the app will still insist the framework isn't installed. What am I doing wrong? This worked fine on the previous release of the ROM...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
The Dev don't encourage xposed on the ROM so let's respect that.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cantenna:
I thought they changed their mind and reminded us just to be wise to not post bugs that are due to xposed modules.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Rhoban:
It doesn't have that feature.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davtse:
I think its with regards to xposed in general, not just the modules. So this includes why it can't be installed etc...

Upgrade GT-I95050 on H3G UK

I currently have a Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) which in sim unlocked on H3G UK (not rooted) with Android 4.4.2 (I9505XXUGNJ3).

As H3G are notoriously slow in pushing updates, I’ve been considering manually upgrading to Android 5 but need a little help.

If I upgrade using this Google Play edition version, will I receive OTA/Kies updates?

Thank you
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mooyaart:
I'm with three as well.

You can change to this rom, but it is very different from the stock Touchwiz rom you are on now.

The camera quality won't be as good, but the phone will be much faster.

OTA updates are handled by an app that comes with this rom.

You will need to root and install a recovery (I recommend TWRP), after that you will be able to install the rom. (Google for info on how to do this).

You can ask three to sim unlock your phone for free.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jp007_uk:
Thanks, I’ve already Sim unlocked via three and i currently use Nova Launcher as i dont really like Touchwiz.

Why is the camera quality effected? and can it be rectified with another camera app?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reg66:
Snap cam hdr works well. A little slow taking shots tho, but maybe that's to do with my settings
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ronron6665:
Sorry. I looked and I can't figure it out either.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jp007_uk:
So not so much the ROM then, more that the camera app is not as good as Samsung's own?

Is the Samsung camera app apk available on this ROM, has anyone ported it?

I want to ensure this before making the jump!

Is everything else working fine, including 4G connectivity?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Samsung Camera will only work on TW.

You won't go far wrong with Snap Camera HDR
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] droid_1989:
You will not get Samsung Updates with this ROM. The Developer updates this when major releases happen, i.e. 5.1 or when there's bugs.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] htr5:
Wow, thanks so much for the camera recommendation. Looks great; fully featured but without a ugly UI
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Xenotrumpet:
TouchWiz ROMs have the necessary drivers and optimizations for the camera. Google Edition ROMs, or any AOSP ROM for that matter, have none of that good stuff. Regardless of what camera app you use, it won't shoot pics better than a TouchWiz S4.

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

This is the most stablest ROM I've ever used. Take my word for it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] LifeDrainerRO:
Hello guys, i want to install this ROM but i have a few questions.

1) the addons like camera, chrome, etc are installed from the recovery, like the ROM or the GApps?

2) the play store and other googe apps receive updates when they are available like on stock software?

3) with normal 24h usage, mobile data used only when needed (2h per day) is it possible to have 4h SoT?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] a103:
1. Camera is installed through recovery. Install chrome from play store.

2. Yes

3. Yes, I did get about 4 hours sot with about 36 hours on stand by. Use greenify though.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jp007_uk:
"it won't shoot pics better than a TouchWiz S4" is very disappointing
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Drizzythebiker:
I've managed to take some pretty good pics on this rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jp007_uk:
I guess what concerns me is, is the picture quality not as good on this ROM compared to Touchwiz or is it the features the Touchwiz camera brings that are not available (dual picture ect).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
In stationary AND good lighting conditions you will always get very decent photos on an S4

In either non-stationary OR poor lighting conditions you won't. Full stop.

(You really can't expect otherwise with such a small lens)

Both these statements are true regardless of ROM/Camera App.

In fact you can pretty much say this is true for all smartphones.

For good quality photos in all conditions, use a camera.

This is in experience anyway

:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jp007_uk:
That’s kind of what I was trying to understand, picture quality (good or bad and regardless of conditions) using this ROM or Touchwiz should be the same (eg using the Google camera app), what non-Touchwiz ROMs can’t provide is the Touchwiz specific features?

I agreed a good camera is the best option but smartphones are convenient.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
And in the above conditions, you really won't see too much difference with photos taken on this ROM compared with TW.

If you can, then you have a much better eye for detail than myself (which isn't that difficult it must be said)

:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jp007_uk:
Doe anyone know what the difference is between this ROM, stock GPE (if one exists) and the BTU version available on sites like SamMobile?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DSA:
Everyone knows because they read the changelogs
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jp007_uk:
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Isn’t the change log the difference between version of this ROM? Not a comparison against BTU or stock GPE
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] heblu:
The only reason I migrated from this great rom to TW is pic quality

From my point of view there is a noticeable difference between google camera or snap and TW camera

Of course, I'm not an expert so it might be a subjective point of view :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dvhttn:
If you're worried about picture quality I suggest you load a TW Lollipop ROM (several in this dev. section) which will update the camera firmware when you use it for the first time. You then have the latest camera SW on your phone and can take a few pictures to see what it's like. Then install this ROM and try out the same shots and compare. Then make your choice.

Personally I go with earlier comments about 'if you want decent pictures get a camera'.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jp007_uk:
Thanks, i think i'll have to play with the ROMs and see which suites me best.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] caloyzki:
I still got the bug camera firmware is updating, please wait. Eventhough i dont have the stock camera though. Im using snap camera.

GT-I9505 and GT-I9515 (GS4 Value Edition) uses the same Snapdragon 601 chip. Just a few things like the partition scheme is different.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] petrus764:
They both use Snapdragon 600, but not all internal hardware is identical. The 9515 has different bt/wifi/touchscreen + and requires other drivers, so installing ROMs made for the 9505 on the 9515 won't work. The ROMs will install in most cases, but once booted you cant use the touchscreen since they're not using the same hw, bt wont work etc. Basically rendering the phones useless.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] htr5:
(I'm posting this here as it's the ROM I use but maybe you can point me to a more suitable thread)

I've been having issues with Wi-Fi disconnecting where I am. What would happen is the Wi-Fi would disconnect when the screen was off and I wouldn't know about it. The phone would then not re-connect to the Wi-Fi until I manually turned it off and on again. I now realised that my accommodation Wi-Fi has a DHCP lease time of about 60 minutes meaning with is very short but w/e. The problem is that the phone does not release the IP but seems to try to use the same one and then ends up not being able to connect. Or sometimes appears connected but has no internet connection.

As a work around, I have been using an app to automatically ping every 60 minutes and then restart the Wi-Fi if failed. It also restarts if there is no connection for more than 30 seconds.

Is this a problem that exists in Android that needs to be fixed or is it my device specifically? (Galaxy S4 i9505 using this ROM 5.0.1 GPE)

The problem has been tested thoroughly at Princeton (but hasn't been looked at for the newest Android or iOS versions):

https://www.net.princeton.edu/apple-ios/ios41-allows-lease-to-expire-keeps-using-IP-address.html iOS

https://www.net.princeton.edu/android/android-stops-renewing-lease-keeps-using-IP-address-11236.html Android

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.programminglife.wifireconnect WiFi Reconnect (Play Store)​

Thanks

tl;dr: Phone doesn't release IP address when DHCP lease time expires. Is this something that hasn't been fixed in Android yet?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] LifeDrainerRO:
Guys, i downloaded everything that i need but before i start flashing the ROM i want to understand something.

After i flash the ROM, i boot it for the first time and afterwards i install the addons from the recovery (i want 1+1 camera, modular Gapps, CM clock) ? I flash them one by one or can multiple zipps flashed at once ? Or can i flash them all at the same time with the ROM (i think 10 zipps are allowed) ? In case of the cameras or modular Gapps, i am asked after the ROM boots what i want to install ?

What are most of you using ? Stock messenger, gallery, Chrome etc or CM ones ? I know its personal preference but maybe most of you find X better than Y. Thanks in advance for your answers.

(I have a 100% stock S4 running official 5.0.1 and since i void its warranty i want to make it worth :D)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] htr5:
I wouldn't install too many zips at once because if there's a bad apple, you won't know which one it was. But if you know what your doing than you can install up to 10 on twrp.

I use Google Messenger, Gmail, Calendar, Maps and Chrome.

For camera, I use Snap Camera which isn't free but there is a trial.

Quickpic as my gallery.

Cf.Lumen as my screen filter

Flud for torrents

Poweramp for music and Spotify

Calculator++

FX browser for file managment
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reg66:
if you're using twrp recovery, yes you can flash 10 zips. but, i'd recommend flashing only the rom first, then the other zips. i'm running stock messenger, chrome + firefox, nova launcher and snap cam hdr from the play store
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Steefmeister:
Tried to install this rom. Did a full wipe as recommended. Once installation is finished it says that first boot takes a while.

However the first boot keeps on displaying the black samsung s4 screen. After 20 minutes still no progress. What is going on?

Means its softbricked.

Go to recovery, format partritions, mount then and install again.

This ROM is so good, it doesn't make sense at all for me to upgrade to any device right now.

I almost set my mind to a Z3, or Z3 compact, but just realised, i will only get a better camera, waterproof and that's about it. It's the same with any other flagship phone. Damn. I really want a new phone, but when it doesn't make sense it doesn't make sense.
