[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] NBruderman:
Okay, I'll try to me more clear. Basically, only nexus devices can get official PA support. No other devices can. There is no official PA not only for us (I9500) but also for any other non-nexus devices (Galaxy 3, HTC One, Sony Xperia etc...). That is because the PA group only uses Google pure device code, which works only for nexus. Well, so now you will ask, how we can use PA in those non-nexus devices? The answer is by using the Legacy PA branch. The Legacy PA branch is taking the basics of the PA codes, and combining them not only with Google pure code, but also with code parts from other places (Mostly CyanogenMod code) to make the system run on all the other devices. There is in github a git account which called "AOSPA-legacy", which contains the relevant code modifications for the rom porters. Now, I can go on and on about all the code difference... but the buttom line, this is why we wont get official, but yet we can use PA perfectly well on our device

A new build is up!

Including all the latest sources, and with Alberto's kernel.

Please report your impressions :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] nagpalkapil:
Though silently but u r working hard and supporting I9500 community bh ur efforts. U r encouraging and supporting on other rom threads as well which is appreciable and is done by very few. Thanks for the build.

I was on slimkat for last few days since it came up for us will try ur again now as it has all the latest commits. Thanks and keep up ur hard work.

If I want to use your ROM, do I have to flash a kernel ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Droidcore:
No need :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] sultanbrunei:
On page 10, I read about MaxFour kernel which is being said as the best kernel out there..

Should I flash it or just leave it and install this ROM just as it is would be okay ?

Also, Do I need to flash the new firmware XSE-I9500XXUFNB7 from samfirmware.com ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] NBruderman:
I've yet to try it... you can flash it and try, and if you dont like it just reflash the rom again without any wipes

And no, you dont need to flash any firmware, as far as I know
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] sultanbrunei:
thanks for this.

I've just flashed this new v2 ROM, and I am now looping in the post-install colorful kitkat logo.

It just won't go anywhere. What is wrong ?

NOTE:

I went to recovery, re-wipe everything, and re-install zip, everything works now. :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] NBruderman:

Booted successfully. But my sound quality went bad. Even I m getting distorted sound on my ear piece.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] NBruderman:
Wierd... Nothing in the device tree was changed since the last build in the sound devision... and I don't think in the kernel too...
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] sultanbrunei:
Tried phone sound quality... loud and clear :)

NBruderman, in the camera settings, why isn't there any setting/mode to change the camera to wide mode?

In my previous rom, there is a setting to choose (if I'm not mistaken) 9,6 Megapixel wide.

Are there anything I can do for this ? I really hated 4:3 photos taken from wide phone cameras.. :(

Also,

this paranoid ota apps, keep telling me there is an update to gapps, when the system info clearly shows the same current installed google apps version...

There is no messaging app? Should we use 'Hangout' for SMS now ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Prattham:
Yea its default messaging app

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] NBruderman:
Hmm... did you tried to set the camera on 9.6 MP? You do not get widescreen shots when you does that?

And don't mind the OTA notice
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] sultanbrunei:
There is no 9.6MP as choice. Only 12.6MP and then 8MP, and then 7MP. This is strange.

Is the 9.6MP option available in your phone?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mikeprius:
I am still new in terms of customizing Android. The Sprint Galaxy S4 has an unlocked bootloader, while the AT&T and Verizon Galaxy S4 versions have a locked bootloader. This means that the ATT/VZW required a seperate program called a 'safestrap' which keeps the stock ROM intact, and uses additional internal memory and creates a whole new memory (essentially 2 ROMs in the internal memory) due to the bootloader being locked from the carrier ? Am I understanding this correctly ?

Just making sure, a few friends from VZW knew that I have a custom ROM on my phone and asked, and I didn't realize you can just flash custom recovery wipe, then flash like with Sprint. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Mistertac:
You're correct. You guys on sprint and TMobile are lucky to have unlocked bootloaders. My Verizon s4 is mdk firmware (the original) which can use Loki to bypass the bootloader so to speak. ATT has a similar situation I believe. But every firmware since the original has locked them down further. Requiring SafeStrap.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mikeprius:
Thank for the reply. Since the internal memory keeps the original ROM intact does it bog down the phone and draw resources while the custom ROM is running ? Or is the original ROM essentially "frozen" ?

Will your phone brick if you try and load custom ROMs without safestrap and tamper with the locked bootloader ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Mistertac:
Well if you're using SafeStrap the way it was intended ( stock slot + ROM slots ) then the only resources used will be the physical memory which the stock ROM and the custom ROM will be taking up on the internal memory. Now some have wiped the stock ROM slot and installed custom Roms onto that to have more internal memory free. That however isn't recommended because if anything gets screwed up Odin is your only option usually. Whereas if you install to ROM slots you can just keep wiping and installing.

And your chances of bricking one of these locked down s4 is really high if you do anything other than root it and use SafeStrap. If we could do it without SafeStrap we certainly would. Just can't be done that's all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mikeprius:
Makes sense. How would the phone get hard bricked if you can flash via Odin if you were to wipe the stock ROM slot ? The locked bootloader would still stay intact but the stock ROM would be gone. I am assuming the possibility of bricking the phone would be restoring the stock rom after it has been wiped while leaving the locked bootloader untouched. I was looking at safestrap for my friend and will pass along the information....too bad it is not like sprint where everything can be deleted haphazardly which is what I do when I flash new roms. I even format the internals so everything is completely empty when I put a new ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Mistertac:
When I was using SafeStrap I never ran into a hard brick myself, just soft brick that Odin would fix pretty easily. I'd say about 99% of the time that would be the case.

I'm not sure of the technical details as far as why messing with the stock slot can lead to issues. My guess , and i could be wrong, is maybe to do with the kernel. . SafeStrap Roms must be based of the same version if Touchwiz that the phone is on 4.2 4.3 4.4 etc and it must have the same kernel as well. Again I'm just guessing but when the phone boots up and runs all its checks, if there are any discrepancies i think that would lead you to a soft brick, again this is if you're flashing to the stock slot.

I think someone who is way smarter than me could explain the differences between what really is going on when soft bricks result from flashing to the stock slot vs a ROM slot. I'm just going off my experiences.

That said... Most people have no problems keeping the stock slot and running 2 or 3 ROM slots as long as they manage their internal memory well and send everything they can to external SD card.

I ran SafeStrap on my RAZR for a long time and for a little while on the s4 before I picked up an MDK build S4 that I could bypass the bootloader using Loki.

The RAZR had Kexec support or Bootstrapping, whatever you want to call it, which allowed for custom kernels and Aosp Roms. People are working on that for the s4 and hopefully that day comes because it opens up a ton of options as you can imagine.

Hope I helped a little. And like I said if you want more technical answers about SafeStrap and stock slot vs ROM slot just hop over to a SafeStrap thread I'm sure someone will know
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] max229:
