Hey bro,

Fast charge is working fine.

But need a good cable and A.C. Charger to see good result.

I happen to have that because I have Note 4, it come with it.

Note 4 have fast charge.

To some people, it might seem not working because of this.

Good implementation.

Now using the OC kernel with fast charge.

Hey bro

Please don't misunderstand me. What I ment was; if you update to 4.4.2 there's no going back to 4.3.

But if going from 4.4.2 to 5.0.1, then it's actually possible to go back to 4.4.2. Has been done by myself and several others. Not sure about the latest released 5.0.1, but on the first it was possible.

Hi

I know you are too busy but is it possible to update the first thread that talk about all the ROM versions whenever you have time please?

It is still saying:

Section starting up! - Under construction!

5.0.x Section.

I would like to test the ROM but I'm not sure from where to start :p

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] tvniklas:
Its fully possible, went back 4 days ago to your fantastic 4.4.2 slim with oc kernel.

Never got 5.0.1 to work without lag.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] maccaberry:
I am the same. Love the Lollipop stuff, but the lag was killing me. Not sure what I have done wrong. Completely wiped and reinstalled 3 or 4 times from scratch. Employed all kernels up to 148 without sucess. I so wanted this to be the path for my S4 but at this stage I need a working rom and DeHawks 4.4.2 with non OC kernel is simply flawless.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey guys.

I'm very sorry to hear about your problems regarding 5.0.1 and my insecure kernels.

Not quite sure what you guys are doing wrong, but I can assure you that there's nothing wrong with the kernels. They are fast, smooth, battery friendly etc. etc

But I think you might need some further instructions.

I will ASAP open the OP 5.0.1 section and in there explain exactly how to set up FauxClock for my kernels, both the OC and NON-OC version.

You must make sure you're running XXUDOC5, that bootloader and modem had been updated.

To make sure everything get updated; turn OFF phone. Pull battery out and wait a few minutes. Put battery back in. Now go directly to download mode and make the flash.

Normally it's not required to make a factory reset.

Use only Odin v3.09 to flash Lollipop full original firmware.

Make sure everything works before going any further.

Now flash TWRP v2.8.5.0, use Odin v3.07 for this.

Again make sure everything is working.

Now put my latest XXUDOC5 insecure kernel on the phone and flash it using TWRP.

After the app installation has finished, again make sure everything is working...except KNOX - totally removed.

Don't install FauxClock until you are sure it's fully working. You should actually now see a better performance.

OK, enough for now. Test and report back. There should no more lagging than original kernel.

It's all about removing and ice down app. But more about that later.

If unsure about FauxClock - don't install until I have some instructions ready.

Regards and good luck.

Information for all running my latest insecure kernels WITHOUT problems.

Guys, we must accept that not all has the same experience. I therefore kindly ask all of you to help others with problems. Tell your experience and how you solved a problem. We are a team here, working together to make the GT-I9506 a better phone.

My problem is; I sometimes, mostly, gets to technical. Sorry about that, my brain is screwed up - I know.

I'm also a very bad teacher, sometimes, mostly, explaining things to complicated.

Please help me.

[MENTION=4188575]DeHAWK[/MENTION] Have you modified something YouTube settings on NON-OC kernel? My battery life is now very good, but when I watch youtube videos with the original youtube app. It drains battery more than stock kernel. Drain is about 1% per minute on stock kernel it was 1% per 3-4 minutes. On the setting page I cant se anything special about youtube app.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

Sounds strange. No changes made, are you using FauxClock?

If yes, you might have to make some adjustments under the Per App Control settings.

I have actually not used YouTube myself. In FauxClock you can control every app. CPU clock frequency, GPU frequency etc.

Select 'Show System Apps' and look at the settings. You can then set it as you want.

Let me know how it goes.

Regarding.

EDIT

Hmm..I've uninstalled YouTube....

EDIT2

Reinstalled YouTube from Google play.

Played a Queen video, 4.22 minutes long. Full volume on external speaker.

Power level before play: 75%

Power level after 4.22 minutes: 74%

EDIT3

Try uninstall YouTube using Titanium Backup. Then reboot and reinstall from Google Play.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Juhoop:
Yes Im using faux clock, but i havent controlled any app because the battery life is fine. Only youtube makes this, when im watching netflix or other video the battery life is good. Testing now and reporting back maybe tomorrow.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

Just noticed a funny thing after reinstalling YouTube from Google Play. I now seems to have access to videos not available to my area before. Lol, I just love it.

Regards.

EDIT

I haven't made any special settings for YouTube in FauxClock.

Played one more Queen video, this one using Screen mirroring. Video 4 minutes long. Lost 2%, but that's expected using Screen mirroring.

Fast Charge...

Are you guys ready for new OC/NON-OC XXUDOC5 kernels, supporting FauxClock Fast Charge options?

My tester xda-member kotaxor has tested both. And believe me, he is doing an amazing job. After his testing, I can assure you it's tested to its limits. He's a rough tester, so therefore I'm pretty sure everything is working.

He has already posted some feedbacks, please read them.

Any news/procedure for i9506 running the stock 5.0.1?

The 5.0.1 section which is under construction....

anybody found a way to root an i9506 running already lollipop 5.0.1 ?

Flashing the whole ROM does not help,

and when I tried older kernels extracted from official roms, the phone

did not boot, so no towel root could be made.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

You have comed to the right place.

Now do this:

You must get crappy towel root out of your phone as fast as possible.

First; reflash stock XXUDOC5. Use Odin v3.09.

Install TWRP 2.8.5.0 custom recovery. Use Odin v3.07 for this.

Goto post #2085 in my thread.

Here you'll find insecure kernels OC/NON-OC for XXUDOC5. Full Root, totally KNOX free.

Just follow the instructions and ask if any questions.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Exxo69:
Okay thanks for the info! And keep up the good work ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Juhkimo:
I can't wait to try it. Thanks for your awesome work. You always make me happy :good: :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] maccaberry:
DeHawk, First I just gotta say. You are without doubt the most compassionate and responsive developer I have seen in many years on xda. You answers all they questions anyone has and still have time for developing. Man you must not get much sleep!

Now for my reply. Thanks for the detailed step by step list. You have convinced me to try another time. To be k=honest I am pretty experienced at this stuff and pretty much have followed the procedure to the letter - EXCEPT for the pull battery step. I will have another crack and let you know.

Here is my progressions to 5.0.1 so far

Was on 4.2.2 CNJ1 with non OC v20 kernel using your deodexed full rom

Flashed 5.0.1 DOB5 using Odin 3.09

Flashed TWRP 2.0.8.5 using Odin 3.07

Things seemed ok with stock but not spectacular and battery sucked.

Flashed your non OC DOB5 kernel with TWRP

Tried OC DOB5 and did muck around a bit with setcpu. Terrible lags. Saw your post that setcpu is faulty so went back to NON OC but DOC this time.

Still laggy so I did full flash of DOC5 stock with Odin 3.09

Flashed TWRP using Odin 3.07

Flashed your NON OC kernel 145 (i think)

Flashed your NON OC kernel 146, 147, 148 and now 150

Laggy with all of these. So I was sure it wasn't your kernel. Never came to that conclusion to you are right - I know its not your kernel. I thought perhaps I screwed things up with setcpu but that should be wiped well and truly by now.

Only thing I didn't do was the battery pull method!!! Man I haven't had to do a battery pull since my i9000...

So I will try again and let you know. Once again thanks for your development, but even more for your patience.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kotaxor:
Hi

Just a small piece of advise.

For those who just flash lollipop coming from kitkat, do not flash the OC kernel.

Flash the non OC and use it for a while.

Play with it, tweak whatever you want.

Wait a few days if possible before using the OC kernel.

If not properly set up, OC kernel will cause lag.

Edit: [MENTION=4188575]DeHAWK[/MENTION],

Hey bro, kindly look into the build.prop file that is bundled in your kernel. There seem to be a numbers of double entries.

I had deleted those outside of the #Additional...does not have the original file to compare.

Under hwui, I believe this is the hardware user interface, there is a few double entry with different figures.

I believe it might cause some conflicts.

Cheers

TWRP question for the process

Thanks for the knowhow,

got a question if the TWRP custom recovery triggers the warranty bit?

If yes, can the step be skipped/worked around?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] lucas_nz:
My understanding is, yes it does trip the KNOX bit, and while there are other ways of flashing a kernel, these will trip the KNOX bit as well... Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's anyway of root a i9506 after 4.4.2 without triggering KNOX.

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

@DeHAWK FYI: I've been running your 5.0.1 NON-OC kernel released on 2015-04-09 for about 3 days. And it runs great! Way better battery life than stock, and no lag. Thanks for the great work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] maccaberry:
Well I think the lag is gone. Testing so far with fresh flash using Odin 3.09 using DOC5 after complete shutdown and battery removed 5 minutes. All good. Flashed TWRP 2.8.5.0 using Odin 3.07. All good. Flashed Non OC Kernel 150. All good so far after 2 hours.

I will check battery drain and lag in the morning.

Thanks DeHawk. Great advice.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Attention: Post #2085 updated again..

As promised; new download links for XXUDOC5 NON-OC and OC kernels.

Fast Charge versions are now public.

Please note: version is now 1.5.2.

Both kernels are exactly the same builds as tested by xda-member kotaxor.

And as you can read in his feedback, he's very pleased.

Also, you better ask him if any questions. He's the expert in the user-interface, I just do the coding.

I hope you will enjoy the new function and still post your experience to help others.

Best regards and happy flashing from me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

I'm so happy to read you finally made it work.

This should work for others with similar problems.

Don't ask me why about the battery pull out... I might get to technical.

Let me know about your experience.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro.

Sweet music in my ears.:good:

And YES! From my knowledge there's no way to avoid triggering the KNOX bit.

It will happen when flashing custom recovery, custom kernel and even a modified system image (even here they put in a digital signature, happened in the 4.3 update).

I don't have more thanks left. :(

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Juhoop:
Thanks man! I really need it. :)

I thought about this, is it possible that you could increase the adblock software (or something like that) for your kernels? It would be really nice addition.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

Nothing would be easier. I'm using it myself.

If people wants it, I can include it. It's all up to you.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Juhoop:
Okay, that would be nise :)

What software are u using? The original adblock or something else?

Some websites doesn't support the device if im using adblock so it needs to be possible to disable.

Does it drain battery much more?

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

Nope. Not using AdBlock...but something much better.

AdBlock wants your money to be without adds...funny.

Will include if more people wants it.

And NO, it doesn't use more battery.

Thanks for your great work DeHAWK and kotaxor for the testing.

I don't really know how to setup the Fast Charge. Is it possible to make a little "how to do"?

Do you have to change the settings every time you change charger? I'm using three different kind of charger. The Sony CP-F5 USB Portable Charger 5.0 V 1.5A, my wireless and the original charger.

Edit: btw thumbs up for the ad-block.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Information regarding add blocking.

This is how I'm gonna do it;

I'll make a flash file for your custom recovery. I'll update this file now and then when needed. By doing it this way, it's completely optimally if you want add blocking or not.

Furthermore it should NOT interfere with any web pages.

This zip file can be used on all systems.

Stay tuned for the add blocking update file.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Add-blocking file for custom recovery ready. Latest update from today. Will upload in a few minutes and file can be found in post...guess what.

Flash file using your custom recovery.

No further actions needed, just reboot after flash when told too.

Thanks man, flashing it tonight. Is there any way to disable adblocking if i need to disable it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:

Nope. You would never need to disable. Trust me.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Juhoop:
Yes, but there are a few websites that I want to support advertising. And here in Finland are a few news sites that require you to disable adblock if you want to watch their videos. But maybe i would watch the videos using my tablet or pc.

ok friend i waiting for you
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] russell.nash:
Hello,

may I ask a question I never saw discussed here. Why are there different firmware images for i9505 and i9506 at all? (these two mentioned just as an example)

I mean you can install almost every linux distro on almost every x86-pc you can think of with completely different cards and parts. Why hasn't anyone tried to simply bring the needed drivers for i9506-specific hardware into a i9505 firmware image? I mean the differences should be a lot easier to handle than the ones present on x86, right?

Regards
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Numero17:
I think they are 2 different phones because 9505 has snap dragon 600 9506 snap dragon 800. There are many different and so for this they have different software
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hello my friend.

Well, just to take your own example;

The I9505 and I9506 might seem very similar and overall they're. BUT if we look at hardware specification they are not. The CPU in GT-I9505 is a Snapdragon S600 processor, while the GT-I9506 has a Snapdragon S800 CPU. And believe me, they are completely different. Everything in the S800 runs at others clock frequencies. I have all the sources for both models and have compared them. Then we have the partition table, which is also different. Why bring sources to the GT-I9505, all sources are updated to each model.

If we should do anything, we should bring our hardware sources to the N9005 sources, because they are more similar to the GT-I9506 than to the the GT-I9505.

Furthermore people may wonder why I haven't updated to 4.4.2, well I want the right sources for the EU model and not the once for Korea, the same is the reason for all the images.

Hope this answers your questions.

Best regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
*** Update ***

Right now uploading a public release of the slim version of my 4.2.2 system image for the GT-I9506.

I'm currently running this version myself and the initial tests turns out positive (Camera now works).

It's pre-rooted, fully De-odexed and of course Zip aligned. I removed a little more than sh0ne suggested...:cool:

PLEASE NOTE: This work would not have been possible if it wasn't for xda-member sh0ne, who asked me to make this slim version and he also made all the initial tests. So guys; all thanks to him.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Now some notes; a lot of things has been removed and if you should experience any problems, let me know.

Flash with Odin, just as usual. :)

All counters zero/official.

Upload finished. Will now be adding the link at page 1.

See ya, and happy flashing out there.

Friend do you think that it's works on my phone?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Probably not. But don't worry, I'm gonna make the same for work SHV-E330S, so people can flash a pre-rooted, fully De-odexed/Zip aligned

system in two versions. And I'm going to use Samsung standard boot/shot down animation plus try to fix the status bar icons so they become like the EU model.

But relax and wait, everything takes time and YOU my friend are the beta tester. Meaning that you will have to do all the initial testing. OK?

Stay cool and have a glass of wine, just like me.:D
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Numero17:
Wow friend yes of course I offer you a pizza if your works go on my phone ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] russell.nash:
Well, DeHAWK,

seeing Snapdragon 600 and 800 as a whole (SoC) you're right. They are pretty different. But the thing is: their CPU instruction set is the same as both CPUs are Krait. This makes them a lot more compatible than e.g. a Pentium-4 and a Core i7. All other components on the SoC should depend on device drivers and I can see no reason why a kernel should not contain both driver sets, if they are modules they would not even steal RAM. If the clock rate of the cpu is a problem then the code is sh*t anyway. Hardcore timing depending on the clock rate and not some timer device should be eliminated.

And lets not forget, we are only talking of kernel level code. The major part (all apps and their interpreter) are the same.
