Can you suggest me which tweaks to add on this untouched rom? I hear something about home button lagg and small other things. Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Almin94:
Better to use stock preinstalled GPE launcher or Google Now Launcher from play store?

Yep, been my daily driver for months. No issues to report. Waiting patiently for Google/Samsung to go ahead and release 5.1!

[MENTION=3344405]dandroid13[/MENTION] I've never cooked a ROM before. I'd be happy to give it a go but wouldn't know where to start (when 5.1 comes along, obviously). Do you have any documentation or guides?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dandroid13:
Prior to Lollipop I had to get all OTAs then edit their updater-script to work with the I9505 because the Odin file from the I9505G section had no sound. But with 5.0 their tar works fine so it's a matter of flashing it with Odin, root, extract system using ADB then compiling the flashable zip. I can send you a pm with some guides I used.

If you would, that would be fantastic. I absolutely believe there's a place for an untouched ROM, so to learn more to be able to continue your work would be fantastic. Thanks, buddy.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dandroid13:
I'll pm you when I wake up later, it's pretty easy actually, but some steps take a long time, especially if you have a slow pc lol. There are a few things that I skipped, like compiling the zip (just copied the META-INF folder from another rom) but it works just fine with some drag and dropping. [emoji14]

It's only my 3rd day trying out this ROM, I must say thanks to the developer.

The ROM is very clean, smooth and fast, although I've encountered a couple of random reboot but flashing the Hulk-Kernel seems to fix and stabilized the ROM more.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] c-droid:
Home button lag fix and Ambient Display works only for a couple of times after flashing, after a while they aren't working anymore, anyone experiencing the same thing? Anyone know how to get it working? Thanks in advance...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dandroid13:
What home button lag? There's no S Voice.

Enviado do meu Galaxy S6
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] c-droid:
The one mentioned above, after flashing it works, holding Home button brings up Recent Apps, but after a while it prompts me for new action and I have no choice but to select Google, which brings back the default action of holding Home button opening Google Now...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dandroid13:

Enviado do meu Galaxy S6
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] c-droid:
ok, thanks!

will wait for [MENTION=981123]dontpannic[/MENTION] reply...

how about the Ambient Display? its kind of working intermittently, sometimes it works, sometimes not, sometimes it flashes the display very short that you can't read the notification...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dontpannic:
Ambient display isn't really supported on this ROM - it flashes the screen like a heartbeat rather than on motion, but even then it's sketchy.

I'm sorry, there's nothing in the lag fix zip that would revert back after a certain number of times / days. It's all or nothing. Where it's popping up with the intents screen it sounds like there is an app installed which is trying to hook into the launcher. That's all I can suggest I'm afraid!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] c-droid:
[MENTION=981123]dontpannic[/MENTION]

I think I found out why the "Home Button lag fix" and "Ambient Display" won't work together, because they both put "framework-res.apk" on "system/framework" directory. That is why which ever I flashed/installed last is the one working. I think the "framework-res.apk" from the "Home Button lag fix" is not patched or programmed to work with "Ambient Display" and vise-versa. I guessed I just have to choose one of them, unless a developer could program/patch the "framework-res.apk" to work for both and package them together.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dontpannic:
Aah yes, of course. I didn't think of that. I purposely didn't enable Ambient Display with the home button lag fix purely for the fact that Ambient display just doesn't work correctly on our hardware. I may look in to it if and when 5.1 appears in the wild. I plan on two versions - one completely untouched, like this one, and one ever so slightly modified with basic improvements such as ambient display and the home button lag fix.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] c-droid:
Thanks for the plan to continue developing this ROM, I'll do my best to help even only by testing.

I totally like the idea of completely untouched with options of flashable basic improvements.

Another good improvement would be is to have an option with the Google Camera to save to SD, it would be practical and useful since our device have SD card slot. Now the only options is either to use xpose framework and module or use a different camera app, I prefer the later since I don't want to install xpose on the ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dandroid13:
Xposed is awesome, can't wait to have it for the GS6, but nothing so far. :(

Enviado do meu Galaxy S6
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dontpannic:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dontpannic:
Hi Guys

I have upgraded handset so no longer own an S4. When and if Samsung ever get round to releasing 5.1.1 for the GPE, I will endeavour to build an untouched ROM for you, however I will have no means to test it. I will be relying on you guys to let me know if it works!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] d1rekt0r:
I have been using this rom for months now , its amazing .

What device did you buy ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dontpannic:
I've gone for the LG G4. Was tempted by the S6, but since Samsung removed the swappable battery and SD cards it's a bit of a dealbreaker for me.

Glad I did it though, the G4 is an insane phone, and the camera is unlike anything I've ever had in a phone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dandroid13:
The G4 is ugly, the G3 was much better looking lol. Its camera is killer but I'm not a fan of those back buttons.

Here's my battery with the GS6, it's the better that I ever had.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
I get 5 hours SOT with the s5
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dandroid13:
Good for you. 5 hours doing what? lol
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
Bragging about how I get 5 hour SOT.

lol joking. The s6 definitely is a really nice phone. Especially the fast charge and built in wireless charging. The s5 feels very cheap in comparison, had to get a case.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dandroid13:
I never get past 5 hours anyway lol.

Isn't the GS5 quick charge compatible? Man I hate this "cheap plastic" talk, it's because of it that Samsung removed the sdcard slot and removable battery. :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
Yeah I know. I've always used a case so I don't care what grade of plastic or metal the device is.

the note 4 with a smaller screen would have been awesome.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dontpannic:
I don't think the G4 is ugly :P The buttons being on the back definitely take some getting used to but on the other hand I was always hitting the power button by accident when watching videos in landscape on the S4, but when you're holding the phone normally the buttons are in the right place straight away.

I go camping quite a bit and I go on trips where I don't have access to mains power for days at a time - for me, removable batteries are a must have - charge up 3 batteries before I go, and I'm good for at least 3 days (actually more with the G4 lol).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dandroid13:
The top and bottom bezels are thicker than the G3, it makes no sense lol. The reason I still buy Samsung is because all other phones use those stupid on-screen buttons and AMOLED screen. Also, let's not forget the Snapdragon overheating fiasco, I've read that the 808 isn't as bad as the 810 but still does. Qualcomm really rushed this generation just to fight Apple, but they failed miserably. [emoji14]

I think Modem is not working...

Hi dandroid13.

I've downloaded and installed you ROM in my Brazilian i9505.

Everything works flawlessly, except the Modem (I think the problem is with the Modem).

It looses the GSM signal in 3g (I don't have 4g data plan) all the time, and it has poor WiFi signal.

Can I fix it flashing the original Modem from Samsung ?

If yes, how do I do that ?

If not, what can I do ?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jpcurrie:
Thank you for taking the time to post the ROM. I've long struggled with the stock GS4 software, bad on battery, slow, etc.

This basically untouched Google ROM +tweaks is the answer, it's brilliant even with the mentioned tweaks and very fast.
