With Slim its the same procedure? Install Stock, then Slim yea?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] same-xx:
Yes, first normal then updatefile slim. If you don't have normal version installed. And remember to wipe and nanoid.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] hs911:
same symptomatics here.. but using a huawei watch so not cheap but also from china hehe.. it connects but loses connection very soon.

tried the watch with a sony phone (also 5.01) and this worked fine.

it is interesting that it worked with CNJ1 but this only confirms that there may be problems in lollipop. i can remember that arter figured this out few months ago with the lp kernel but i dont want to use his kernel due to screen mirroring.

Information about upcoming XXUDOF2 Slim De-Odexed.

Attention: Please mark this post, as I will refer to it later on when new information arrives.

I know a lot of you have been waiting patiently for a Slim De-Odexed XXUDOF2 system.

Now the waiting is over!

I've now, after spending several hours, made a package for flashing using TWRP - I recommend v2.8.5.0.

This package can be used by people running XXUDOD3 and XXUDOF2.

My first goal is to get those running XXUDOD3 updating to XXUDOF2, without having to make a factory reset, by which they would lose everything.

Attention:

The follow instruction are ONLY for people currently running XXUDOD3.

OK, guys - I need you updating to XXUDOF2, this because I can no longer support XXUDOD3 kernels.

I know you didn't do it because you had to make a factory rest - meaning losing everything.

But with my new XXUDOF2 Slim De-Odexed package, you can now update without loosing everything.

Note: You will however loose data related to STOCK system apps, but every else will be left untouched.

If you're unsure - backup particular data.

Instructions for updating to XXUDOF2:

You should now update to stock original XXUDOF2 - use the NEE version in my OP and flash using Odin3 v3.10.6.

After the flash has finished, now flash TWRP 2.8.5.0.

Now put the new XXUDOF2 - OC/NON-OC insecure kernel on SD card and flash it using TWRP.

Note: The new kernels has been updated to v3.0.4!

These kernel are the same as 3.0.1, I've only make some script changes.

Now flash your desired kernel and wait for phone to optimize apps.

You're now on XXUDOF2 - insecure kernel v3.0.4 (OC or NON-OC), totally KNOX free.

Now we need to make the system De-Odexed, without loosing anything else than stock Samsung apps settings.

Put the update_XXUDOF2_Slim_De-Odexed_v11.zip on your SD-Card and flash it with TWRP.

So what happens?

Well, my update scrip will ONLY delete original STOCK Samsung ROM apps and leave everything else untouched.

And therefore the settings, password etc. for all other apps should be left untouched.

I could have made it even more Slim, but I know many of you are using stock apps.

Download links to come, still making last time adjustments.

And as said: I will refer to this post in upcoming posts.

Information for people on XXUDOF2 to come later.

Hang around for more information.

Regards

Ok,I made proper looking at the bluetooth problem.

And it is phone depending. Some have problems some don't. Ok, here is some possible fixes: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.myklos.btautoconnect . 2. Install it and give sw2 priority. 3. Install from playstore bluetooth keepAlive. Allso make sw2 factory reset. Test also these programs (apps ): bluetooth fix problem, smart connect. In went hours to compile. Hope this helps. Will let know if learn more. Thank if helped. Cheers.

Can anyone confirm if arter97 kernel works with one of the slim versions?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] same-xx:
No it won't.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] saschc:
Thanks for reporting your observations :D

After having a proper look at the bluetooth problem, you probably can give a proper explanation why it should not be ROM related, if my cheap bluetooth 4.0 device works properly with my phone on Dehawks deodexed CNJ1 ROM, but not properly with deodexed DOF2 (like hs911 not so cheap device).

And again, SW2 WORKS with deodexed DOF2 (probably because it's running bluetooth 3.0 standard).

I tried btautoconnect yesterday and it kept Mi Band connected (Deodexed DOF2) but the battery drain was extraordinary and that cannot be the clue (at least for me).
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] same-xx:
I think bluetooth issue is driver problem. Or so I have read. You can go ask your samsung Service Provider about the issue. But main thing is: cheap or not bluetooth stuff is got to get working. I had my bluetooth issue with offical lollipop. I made factory reset and it resolved it. Battery drain is easy fix. Adjust wakeclocks to stop the drain. And try other fixes too. Paid apps you can download free from internet. I know many people who have Deodex DOF2 DeHawk and no issues with bluetooth. So it is not so simple as rom issue. If I was you, I've made factory reset and then install offical lollipop and then DeHawk's. Samsung havent told when bluetooth fix is comming. And you can allways make your own Deodexed rom from offical.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

I can make you a test kernel, build on same sources as DOF2. - But with modified bluetooth stuff. Let me know if you're interested in testing it.

Perhaps it will solve some of your bluetooth problems.

Will make it after the XXUDOF2 Slim version has been released.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] saschc:
:D:D:D

Of course I'm interested!

Thanks for your effort!

Edit: I already appreciate your effort, I don't expect that it has to work
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

I ran into trouble with my Slim De-Odexed versions...and therefore decided to make the files for you.

Here you have two links, one OC version and one NON-ON version.

Download link OC-Version:

saschc_test_GT-I9506 5.0.1 - GT-I9506XXUDOF2_OC_v304_DeHAWK_Kernel.

Download link NON-OC-Version:

saschc_test_GT-I9506 5.0.1 - GT-I9506XXUDOF2_NON-OC_v304_DeHAWK_Kernel.

Let me know how it goes bro.

For everyone else: If you don't have any issues with bluetooth, stay away from these files!

Regards

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] saschc:
Thanks Bro. Much appreciated!!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] same-xx:
Bro, when you have time could you make the upsm to our phone. At s5 systtemUI or just S4 upsm. If you need I have secsettings, UPSM maps and apk:s. I have tried to make it but allways fc. Cheers and thanks for your amazing work for us
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Information.

I've just had a look at those threads offering S6 and Note 5/4 systems for our phone.

I must say; I'm chocked.

Anyone can change the build.prop to make GT-I9506 looks like Galaxy S6.

Then copy some directories, make a few changes and then ask money for it...I am so deeply chocked.

Notice; a REAL developer would never ever just do that. He would decompile each apk, edit it - making the required changes and then recompile - to make it 100% compatible with the GT-9506.

Your phone should not show up as a Galaxy S6, but as it really is; a GT-9506.

How do you think I made my modified apps? Did I just use a Galyxy S6 app to give you all those Lock screens and backgrounds.

No way; I decompiled, edited and then recompiled.

Guys, our phone is NOT a S6 and will never ever be. It's jusy to different, 32bits vs 64bits and a different GPU...jusy to mention a couple.

Personally, I would never ever do as some people are doing.

But we live in a free world and anyone can do as they want to.

Sorry guys, but it just made me chocked.

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

I'm working on it, as said earlier. But work has been put on standby while I made new 4.4.2 kernel, new DOF2 kernel and working on DOF2 slim De-Odexed.

I could of course take the easy way...make your S4 look as a S5...

but that's not my way of doing it.

I already have the latest S5 Secsettings and it's almost working after my changes. I de-compiled it, made the required changes, re-compiled it and flashed.

Still need to fix some minor issues, but so far it's working and looks promising.

Regards

DeHAWK.

EDIT

I could let you try a pre-pre....version. It works but still has a couple of issues; battery stats not showing up - gives FC. UPSM still has some issues. But everything else seems to work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kotaxor:
Hey bro,

Great work! Patiently waiting for your slim DOF2 before finally changing over from DOD3, love your kernel.

Look like there will be no marshmallow for our phone.:crying:

What would be your next phone be?

Hope to follow you to the next thread if you change your phone.:D

Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] same-xx:
Yeah bro, I'm with you on that. I dont want my phone to be some note or s5/s6 look a like. Not even cm. I know how you do your work, that is why what my rom is. This is best phone what I have had. And not chancing. This is by far best rom... If I need newer sammy I can use my wifes phone. But if you send me some pre version attach some fixing manual,so I can try to make it work. But take your time. I can wait. Esspecially knowing how you do things... And same goes to slim. New kernel is amazing despite the lack of quick charge. I send tomorrow to you some benc results and you wont belive those scores. And Cheers to you mate.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] saschc:
Again, thanks mate! :good::good::good:

First impression is very good, bluetooth connection seems more stable atm (for this short period of testing) but according to betterbatterystats wifi is running all the time despite the fact that it is disabled. Is that the price I have to pay? :D

Regards
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] saschc:
Totally agree :good:!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] same-xx:
Hey congrats about bluetooth. What comes to battery consumption, you can help it: 1. Download bluetooth timer,second you can modify bluetooth wakeclocks so that it wont use so mutch battery. More little later...

You can try something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ger&pcampaignid=APPU_1_iT4WVuXxA-nNygPTtLbYCA . And there is a ton of bluetooth tools what disconnects and connects bluetooth automaticly. And then its only wakeclocks restricting when phone isn't

deepsleep. I will help you how to do it, after I learn it my self. Stay positive.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] xarisioannina:
you are so right but its good to have some apps like themes to transform our phone, Upsm, some better disigned icons etc its not that bad at all but of course with the correct recompile and make the phone to work as smooth as it must be.

I have to tell also that your job is great. I have right now the De-Odexed and KNOX free system 4.4.2 version and also the o/c kernel installed and they work really good. But also I like the darklord or s6 port roms. I get bored with the same rom for more than 1-2 months
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

Glad to hear you finally got it to work.:good:

About betterbatterystats wifi; this is an app related problem. Does the same on all my my kernels. So relax, you're not paying any price. :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] saschc:
If you mean with bluetooth timer an app, which automatically turns bluetooth off, it's useless, because I want to run it all the time to get notifications, except at night, but then tasker switches phone into airplane mode (bluetooth will be disabled as well).

How can I modify bluetooth wakelocks and how would it affect bluetooth connections?

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

Hey Bro,

thanks for the info! I'm totally relaxed :D, will observe further on and report if I recognize something . If "normal" kernel get's updated in the near future, should I stay on this one?

If you pm your paypal-id, I buy you a beer. You didn't ask for, so you can't refuse ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] hs911:
thanks for reporting. Sadly, I had to return my Huawei Watch yesterday since I would have ran out of time for returning otherwise. But I also have a Xioami Band I will test with both Kernel versions. Maybe I get a new Huawei Watch in November.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
A little information about what's going on.

Have updated my kernel build scripts; I will now release 2 kernel versions of both OC and NON-OC kernels.

This because of the updated Bluetooth drivers.

Kernel versions with an append '-v2_' is using updated Bluetooth drivers.

Look at this:

GT-I9506XXUDOF2_xxx_xxxxxx

The above is using stock Samsung Bluetooth drivers from latest sources.

GT-I9506XXUDOF2-v2_xxx_xxxxxx

The above is using updated Bluetooth drivers, nothing else.

Just to let you know.

OP 5.0.1 will be updated with the above information.

Furthermore; as said, I ran into some unexpected problems with me XXUDOF2 Slim De-Odexed.

Well, everything was working fine...until I needed to download an app from Google Play.

Got a strange error and could not download or update anything.

But my Gmail was working fine...

Have now re-written my scripts and now I just need to test them again.

So how did I do?

Well, flashed an stock original XXUDOF2 NEE firmware.

Flashed TWRP, then a new OC kernel and my new Slim De-Odexed...

I think I know the reason for the problem and have therefore tested different scripts. So far OK.

System obviously don't like to go directly to Slim De-Odexed.

More to come.

Stay tuned guys.

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

I really appreciate that you want to buy me a beer, I love beers, I really do.

But as said before; I do not want anything for my work. So have a beer yourself while enjoying my work.

Next: I don't think we'll see more kernel updates from Sammy. But if we do, I'll of course check if they made the changes and inform you.

For all:

I would really appreciate if more people could test this kernel I made for especially xda-member saschc. With some luck, it will work for all of you.

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

Still working on Slim XXUDOF2, see other posts.

Regarding Marshmallow;

Since Sammy properly not will give us Marshmallow, I'll have lots of time to convert it to out phone.

I now, after several years, know how Sammy thinks and acts - regarding sources.

And as I see, it still looks quite promising.

Right now I'm not disappointed, I knew It would happen. - Sammy just us to buy a new phone...but I'm in love my phone, just as I'm in my car, and will not buy a new one...unless it (they) decides to travels to Mars. :cool: --- *Queen 1975* - 'I'm In Love with my Car'. I can recommend listen to it. Try replacing the sentence 'My Car' in the song with 'My Phone' - and now it all makes sense.

Yes, I know - I'm totally freaked out. - Sorry about that, but that's how I am. :cool:

By the way here is bench result for you, what tells probably to you how unbelievable your rom and kernel is... Even I have hard time to believe it: pcmark

But antutu stayed at 49000, but I read that, antutu favors newer phones. So they get better points. But PcMark is best overall test.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] winesh:
I agree with you on this topic mate, but I think you're being a bit harsh. The 9506 forum isn't overloaded with developers. We should be glad that everyone who can contribute, is making a difference in their own way. Not everyone can be a "real" developer, but the work that the guys you refer to are doing isn't something everyone can do. If this was the case then we would see more of these builds in our thin development forum.

Besides you can't judge someone's motives for asking donations. Perhaps he lives in a stick house without a real job due to the urban economic situation. Developing and deploying could be the only thing he can do to gain income. Not everyone has the luxury of a 9 to 5 job.

Don't get me wrong. I sincerely appreciate your work, but its just as much as I appreciate everyone else's work in trying to keep our device up to date. If we see each other as a team instead of different camps, our device might have a chance of surviving android 7.0.

Ok, have tested the 304 bluetooth kernel, and it is good.

Connection with bluetooth works better. Test bench points are as good as 301. Only thing is that it uses litle bit more battery, but I think it's because it uses wifi a lot effectively. And the change of frequency works properly with wifi. And chancing between wifi and bluetooth. I have not been able to do burn in and proper pc mark, because my battery is quite dead, but I try to do it tonight. With auxiliary power pack. So I let you know. But connection is a lot better.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] hs911:
i also tested 304 kernel, results:

old kernel

car handsfree: connecting sporadically after many minutes

huawei watch: connecting sporadically, losing connection soon

mi band: not connecting

kernel 304

car handsfree: test todo

huawei watch: unable to test, had to return watch

mi band: working flawless

so i will test hands free later that day but i think the result is that the bluetooth issues are gone. i will order a new watch in a few weeks.

Have tried for 3 hours now, no luck.

Stopped after 2h!!! At clock 2688 and gpu 450, cause any higer would have burm something. But 1 hour went all at max, without problem. Bluetooth and wifi are really good. Everything worked. Specially I liked in car wifi and bluetooth together. It was firs time that I could use my cars android functions. ( start car, open, close windows, internet, voice commands and...) Oh: And pcmark was higer than 301. So exelent work. Keep up the exelent work and let me know if I can do something. Cheers!
