the AOSP browser does not come with GPe roms, only Chrome. and Nova is included because it's smaller in size and most people prefer it anyway, and those who prefer the GNL can just download it from the Play Store
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] grentuu:
On the front page it tells you what is and what isn't included. You make your decisions from there. Comments like face/palm are insulting to the dev and ''should have been included' is just your opinion. I felt that perhaps it could have been included, but didn't choose the insult Dan, I just went to the playstore and installed. it.

On a more positive note, after four days of battery drain from the 27th KT kernel I updated to the 2nd of April INTL kernel yesterday So far so good. nothing appears to be draining and after a days use with calls, data, bluetooth in the car and GPS and little game playing the phone is sat on 71%.

Looking good.

ROM Install Fail

I have an international version S 4 and this might be a noobe question but anytime I've tried to install Google Play ROM's I've had install failure.

The only ROM's that I can install are either the Slim Kat and the CM ROM.

Do I need to upgrade the bootloader to install Google Play ROM's?

Thanks.

LED notification stopped work

LED notification stopped work after flashing KT kernel 04.04. release.

Is it possible to be connected with this? I tried some restarts and no change:(

Flashed previous KT release (02.24. because of battery drain) and everything seems to be O.K.

Or is it ROM issue?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] AllSeeyinEye:
Don't know what causes this, because I'm on the same ROM with the same network/provider, and I'm actually always on LTE.

I'm on the new bootloader, XXUFNC5 modem.

My best guess that it is a modem problem or the signal strength just isn't good enough.

I don't know if it is a good idea to restore apps if you are switching from TW JB to GE KK, maybe someone with more knowledge on this matter can drop 2 cents here
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kingzain900:
I meant more general apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, etc. I haven't had problems before by restoring their data. But yeah there could be problems. Should I instead go for TW KK? But the SD card question still remains.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] r47z:
Launcher, Whatspps and SMSes should be fine if you're just restoring data as I didn't face any issues when I upgraded from JB to KK. But for like facebook and the rest, it's best to do it from new. When you restore your account through Google Play, all your apps will be downloaded. You just need to login back to the accounts.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] zvieratko:
I am a flashaholic and I switch ROMs often (GE, AOSP, TW, MIUI, you name it).

I always use TB to restore all "user" apps, and XML-restore system data (messaging, bluetooth pairings, sometimes accounts).

It's not easy to say what can or can't be safely restored - sometimes restoring Accounts put the phone into boot-loop (only happened to me on MIUI), sometimes restoring messages causes messaging to FC (can't even be solved by clearing as it corrupts the database somehow).

When it comes to apps things get interesting - you can usually restore all user apps, but not everything marked as "user" app is really a user app. Sometimes ROM crap is installed there and restoring on another ROM leads to problems. I always spend good 5-10 minutes going through all the stuff that's going to be restored and I only restore the stuff I recognize. When I'm not sure I just skip it and possibly try again later (after new ROM is setup and I have a fresh recovery backup to go quickly back).

After some precautions, TB is IMHO safe to use even when moving between different ROM flavours, it's just PITA to go through the stuff.

OT: Does anybody know of a good TB alternative? Something a little smarter would be extremely helpful...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kingzain900:

There's an app to edit needed files to regain SD Card access in KitKat if you don't want to do it yourself

Try it. After using it, try to restore your apps with TB. Of course you have to have root access. If you want to use THIS rom - this issue is fixed. In most TW customs it is also fixed.

04/08/2014

-Deodexed this ROM and kept it fully compatible with ART (Believe it or not this fixes some strange issues for me, I think my odex script might break some things? all has been well for me now and I'm not seeing random SystemUI slowdown)

-deleted old google search libs and some koreanime lib, oh and libpinyin is gone too because they are useless (since I've removed their native apps they just sat dormant in the lib folder wasting system space)

-Updated the build.prop

-Updated GoogleTTS and Keyboard again

-Updated kernel (battery drain is gone)

After using this ROM for a couple of days I'm really satisfied with everything, except one bug that I have.

Exchange push is acting up, for example, I went to bed around 11pm yesterday, apparently got an email around 2am but when I woke up at 6.30, there was no email notification. Had to open the email app manually for it to pop in. That's just an extreme example though, on a regular basis exchange emails don't get pushed immediately, I often have to wait between 5-30 minutes for them to show up. This really is a dealbreaker for me, as I need to read emails when they arrive.

Push on everything else works without issues, facebook, snapchat, gmail etc. It's only exchange that's acting up. On stock, cm and other ROMs I've tried I don't have this issue.

Not sure if it's a ROM issue or a kernel issue? Could it be because of the kernels power saving mode or something like that? Tried flashing the stock white email client (which IMO looks a lot better) but I have the same problem there.

Anyone else having this problem? or a solution?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Obi-man:
Hi,

I have the same problem, also tried the stock email client because i thought that would maybe solve the problem. Unfortunately it didn't. As a workaround i let it check my mail every half hour, that's fast enough for me. I don't have to see mail as soon as it arrives.

When looking at the sync settings of the email client i noticed that the sync icon keeps spinning and never stops, when set to push. I don't know if this is not normal behaviour or by design.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Piksou:
It's actually working quite well for me. None of my friends even managed to unlock with their faces. With a pic, they can, but... that requires a picture.

The reason why I think it's better for me than pattern or PIN is that the place where it's most likely my phone would get stolen is the tube or the street. In the tube, if someone see me unlock with pattern or PIN, he can watch and get the pattern/PIN. If I use face unlock, all he will see is me using my face and this is more tricky to reproduce, except by taking a pic of me (less likely and can be mitigated by enabling the blink option).

Not perfect, less efficient againt my girlfriend/family, but more efficient against random guys in the tube.

Thanks for the info. I never had any issues with my current version, the last with face unlock but... I'll refrain from updating so far and I'll see when I really have to do it.

Proximity sensor seems to be off again. If I'm in a call, the display stays off, even if I hold the phone far away from my face. This makes hanging up pretty much impossible...

Battery Drain and Shut Down issue

Having a bit of trouble with this ROM currently, just trying to discern whether it's my phone itself or the ROM. I'm thinking my phone is the issue. I've done a search and can't see anyone having the same problem.

What happens is the battery appears to drain quite quickly (I understand this WAS an issue and has been fixed in the latest build), however the phone is also randomly shutting down at ~20% battery remaining. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on what it could be? Is there anyway to troubleshoot such an issue? My phone has been dropped forcefully recently, if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance,

Dave
