[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ~ Myzrael ~:
I have some issues, i'm on old bl and old modem. First boot of the rom all is fine, it works just great. If i reboot all goes wrong: phone hangs at loading animation, loads for very long time then reboots or i have to force it to reboot. If it passes boot (sometimes i have the impression that clearing cache and dalvik helps it to boot again, but i'm not sure) when it reaches the home screen it keeps vibrating, there are a lot of popups of supersu, even if i have disabled them. everytime i reboot the phone something happens and my phone starts to behave strangely and it's very hard make it load the os again. if i do hot reboot instead all is fine. I had to reflash tw for this reason.

is there something else who had similar issues? do i have these issues because of old bl/baseband? i tried googy kernel and faux, i had issues with both of them so i don't know if it's a kernel related problem or not. the rom is very good really, i don't think it's a rom or a kernel issue, i think it's a combination of factors in my phone, maybe someone can help me :)

TWRP 2.5

Can I flash this rom in TWRP 2.5 or should I really update to TWRP 2.8 before flashing this ROM? Thank you
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Provinomico:
From the 1st post:

Installation instructions

I only support the latest TWRP recovery, AT&T users must loki after flashing

Plus, I think ppl had trouble updating to kitkat about a year ago when ROMs started popping because of some short of incompatibility with current version of TWRP back then, so if I were you I would update recovery first.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gabi11:
Thinking about trying this rom after really enjoying dan's aosp [emoji106]

So twrp is recommended over latest philz when flashing this rom?

Is it important or philz just as good... ?

It's just that I never used twrp... Always philz...

Btw, when using twrp, what are the correct wipes to do before flashing?

I mean the wipes that identical to philz's "clean to install a new rom" (or something like that.....) and only formats the data + system and without touching the internal and external sd.

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] duda_86:
Hey! First I want to thank you for your input and this excellent ROM. I'm only using it two days but I was never that happy after changing a ROM in my life. :)

I found one issue - the default message application. Max MMS size is above 300kB and I'm not able to send any MMS. I found that you already mentioned modified app. Where can I find it? Thanks in advance.

Oh, I forgot. I know that I can use 3rd party app but I like stock one...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] GuiCunha:
If you got error during flash, try twrp.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Provinomico:
OK, though it's not -entirely or at all- ROM related, I need some help...

So, I solved the reception issue that I had after I switched to this ROM, I just flashed the gsm/LTE modems from the latest available firmware compatible with my phone/operator -NG8-. Problem is, I also extracted&flashed the boot image, I read on the guide I was following that it was also necessary and I didn't think further.

So, OK, gsm&LTE modems, and boot image. And, it would not boot. And, I instantly noticed... this is GPE!! and the bootloader from the factory image is TW!! so I went and dirty-flashed the ROM, and a GPE kernel afterwards. It booted again, but stuff keeps crashing -system.ui, launcher, apps etc-... again, I flashed modems, boot.img -this time the one from the this ROM-, a GPE Kernel, dalvik/cache wipes... and no luck, it boots, reception is great, but stuff keeps crashing.

Besides solving the problem, which I guess I could by doing a complete factory/system reset, I would like to know what's happening and why the steps I took didn't solve the issue... perhaps you can't just flash a compatible boot image on top of an incompatible one? need to do some kind of cleaning first? but I didn't found anything related on TWRP... someone knowledgeable please point me in the right direction :D

Thanks in advance!

Is there a way I can hide super user from settings?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mystique:
Using a launcher that allows applications to be hidden..

Like Nova
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
That will only hide from the app drawer, and not the settings.

Not unless you know how to decompile and recompile apk's, or know someone who does
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] suta:
Davndh could you release a mod to hide supersu from settings?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] rafkin:
For what ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Murthick:
I think you may have gotten confused between bootloader and boot.img

I'd go back to the modems thread and download & flash XXUGNG8 bootloader. That should solve some problems but like you said, a full wipe should fix all of the problems. Just don't flash a boot.img again, it isn't necessary.

Thanks Murthick! that makes sense.

Even though I mentioned 'bootloader' on the post, I meant boot image -i.e, the boot.img file was specifically referred in the guide-. So, the BL option in Odin is just for flashing the bootloader? it's a wonder it's still booting then. I'll give it a try tonight. Again, many thanks! :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Provinomico:
That was it, I flashed the bootloader and got it back to normal. So, for the future, if I ever need to update modems again, do I also have to flash the matching bootloader (but not the boot.img)?

Thanks again! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] droid_1989:
I have two i9505 phones, cannot send anything, nfc is on, android beam is on. Won't let me send photos, contacts or webpages.

I tried with my Nexus 7 and still nothing...

I'm confused,

Both i9505 phones are using this rom.

---------- Post added at 12:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

I have checked in /sys/class/ and there's no nfc folder on both phones.

On my Nexus 7 there is a folder there.

[MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] is this normal?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Murthick:
Glad it worked. You shouldn't have to update the bootloader again unless Samsung release Android L for the GT-I9505. However if you always flash the matching bootloader then there is a much lower chance of things going wrong. It's up to you really.

don't flash gapps when you install this ROM

And yes recovery is the easiest way, just choose ge kernel

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mireczech:
Touch sound?

Hey guys, I noticed this small detail with the touch sounds - their volume is not consistent. To replicate this:

1. With the device unlocked wait about 3 seconds and press 'back' or 'menu' buttons or on some screen buttons - gives a quieter sound

2. press again - now gives a proper, louder touch sound

This used to be an issue with every 4.2.2 GE roms I've tried which was then (randomly?) fixed in 4.3 roms. Anyone knows how to fix this now? I know it is just a minor thing but it drives me crazy! :laugh: Of course I could turn it off but I like to have audio feedback.

Other than that this ROM is super clean and fast, just great! Thanks a lot Dan :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Luffersen:
Wow. Just wow

Was a bit nervous after 6 months of Cyranogen! but decision was made. Had to go Google.

Hot strong coffee and onwards...

Reboot to recovery.

Full wipe

Installed latest Danvdh 4.4.4. 08302014

From Denmark, so installed Googymax3 Kernel

Wiped cache and dalvik

Reboot.

Wow!! Just wow :cool:

And now after 8 hours of stable work including a lot of apps reinstalled and tweaking++ I was still happy :D

Reboot to recovery

Installed Batteryicon 4.4.4

Said "no" to fix

Voila

Thanks Dan for this amazing software. Respect :highfive:

Since Googy already informed in his thread a few weeks ago that he won't update the kernel any longer and since Kt hasn't updated his kernel in a few months I recommend Alucard kernel, it's up to date and it is super stable and battery friendly. :good:

"By the way"?! Scrolling is in no way related to brightness :silly:. Besides, as ART is still experimental, I am not exactly sure I am willing to give up stability just for a tiny potential increase in performance.

Regardless... this ROM is simply awesome. Lightning fast!

@Danvdh

Am I blind or... there is no browser included in your ROM? I restored Boat Browser, but I don't see any other in the app drawer... be it the old (but gold, I may say) Browser (from the good old ICS days, you know), be it Chrome...

you're posting on here, so I guess you have flashed this ROM

therefore, you were on a knox bootloader (4.3 or later) and because you are no longer on a stock Samsung kernel, this message is now shown.

You have also tripped your knox flag by the way, but don't worry too much about this, as most of us on here have too
