Thank you very much Slim80 for the restore possibility of S4 memo in Imperium OTA updates. Makes it much easier! [emoji106]
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nadejo:
is there any kernel for this rom that supports overclocking?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andrecaron:
Thank you both for the help but I extracted the Memo apk from the other ROM and it worked fine. Restored my backup and all.

I prefer this app than the Snote because it is much faster.

Hey...just to share my experience with the Imperium Kernel 1.1a

it is been great, the battery life is pretty good and the performance too.

the only thing is that I think the phone is getting a little hot but is been this way with every rom and every kernel that I ever used with the S4.

And I think it could have more options on the Stweaks.

Congrats to the Dev...

The phone signal is too weak

Hi guys. I installed Imperium 13 ROM and I am very pleased. But I have a little problem ...

The phone signal is too weak, and 4G is going very slowly.

Attached is a picture of firmware updates.

What should I do in this situation?

Can someone help me?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lawyer_06:
You can test the latest XXUGNI2 modem and look if it is better for you or not.. I suggest flashing the combined package, but you can flash just the modem as well.. After flashing give feedback if it is ok or not.. You will see the flashing instructions on the thread. If you are flashing a modem for the first time, carry out the instructions carefully.. Here is the link of the "Kitkat 4.4.2 MODEM / WIFI-FIX and BOOTLOADER for GT-I9505" thread. :

I apologize. I am a beginner.

I want to install both files together (GSM_Modem_XXUGNI2_and_LTE_Modem_XXUGNI2 and BL_I9505XXUGNI2_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT) with Odin3 v3.07.

I can ????

At Bootloader put: BL_I9505XXUGNI2_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT and

To put PHONE: GSM_Modem_XXUGNI2_and_LTE_Modem_XXUGNI2

?????????????????
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lawyer_06:
Yes you have placed the files to the right places.. But just some tips:

Firstly power off your phone completely.. Then with Power + Vol Down + Menu Button go Download Mode.. Open Odin, plug your phone to PC.. When your phone recognised by PC, with the way you have mentioned above click "Start" button.. Don't unplug your cable untill Odin says "PASS".. If you have some problem during these process, again ask..

But, in the picture you have posted, the Odin looks like for "Galaxy SIII". Is it right or it is just a photoshopped photo? :D If the photo is not photoshopped, you should use the Odin version which is for Galaxy SIV i9505.. BTW you have S4 i9505 model phone right, not SIII? :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] milly62:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] milly62:
Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lawyer_06:
Yes, it seems correct.. But i haven't tried Odin v3.10, i generally use v3.09. So i don't know if it will be ok or not with v3.10, but i think there shouldn't be any problem, i just can't confirm if it works or not on that version.. Look at the picture below, in my ODIN v3.09, there near the right side of the word "Odin3" it writes I9505, so i can't confirm if you have downloaded the right Odin version for S4-i9505 model or not.. But the replacements you have done are right..

You can download Odin v3.09 from the link below:

Baseband: i9505XXUGNH8

Bootloader: i9505XXUFNC4

As for when the FC's started I would say immediately after installing this ROM V13.0 but I'd be guessing. It is SINCE installing this new version.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lawyer_06:
I also have Imperium v13 on my phone, and i also dirty flashed v13 on v12 but i don't have any FCs or any issues you have mentioned. I will suggest you two solutions:

1- Match your BL and baseband with ROM's base.. Imperium v13's base is VJUGNI2, so flash VJUGNI2 BL and GSM & Wi-Fi Fix via ODIN..

You can find BL, modem and Wi-Fi Fix and flashing instructions from here:

=> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50965837&postcount=2627

2- If the first suggestion doesn't fix your issue, then dirty flash the ROM on the current one.. It means

don't wipe

data, system, preload or anything in Recovery and in Aroma options, just reflash the ROM.. (But you can wipe just Dalvik and cache in Recovery)..

Then give feedback..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] radz_:
Just update to the latest Google play services.. it fixed mine.

XXUGNI2 is out..10/31, basically the latest.. you can flash it too....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Redscorpian:
Flashed the files suggested and Odin 3.07 passed it BUT nothing appears to have changed according to my system information. Was it supposed to? I still appear to have my earlier BB and BL versions.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] radz_:
Flash it twice...

1st. Uncheck "autoreboot" in Odin. then...

Press and hold power button then go back to download mode...

2nd.. with autoreboot check.. flash it... wait till it says PASS..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lawyer_06:
Did you go to Download Mode from Power Menu -> Restart option or via powering off the phone completely and then pressing together Power + Vol Down + Menu buttons combination?

The important detail in flashing process is you

shouldn't

go to Download Mode from Power Menu -> Restart option! You

should

first power off your phone completely and then with the button combination i mentioned above you should go to Download Mode and then flash the modem via ODIN in that way..

Hey I just updated my Modem and BL following the steps that were told here.

I downloaded the Modem and BL from this page http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50965837&postcount=2627

Using Odin V3.09 ( I uploaded for you here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-nsPJ5PAT_1UG5zc3BYX0lfUVU/view?usp=sharing )

Then turned off the device, rebooted to Download Mode by pressing POWER BUTTON + VOL DOWN + MENU BUTTON.

Flashed the Modem and BL, with the AUTO REBOOT UNCHECKED. Then turned the phone off and reboot to Download Mode again, re-flashed with AUTO REBOOT CHECKED and everything worked fine.

Here is a picture of the Odin screen

This is the best samsung rom i've tried so far :) i've been testing v13 for a week now and i'm very happy with it, stable and no bugs found in the things that i use, maybe screen mirroring still doesn't work 100% (force closes or even reboots the phone when going to much from landscape to portrait to landscape) but in v12 it didn't work at all so it's ok, i put it in landscape and leave it that way :) Batterylife with imperium kernel is impressive compared to most other samsung roms, i noticed all week i have more batterylife then usual left when i get back from work, at the moment i have 73% left after almost 15 hours with 40+min screentime.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lawyer_06:
Also try these methods:

1- Have you tried it with ODIN v3.09 or v3.07? If you didn't success with whichever you have tried, then try with the other version.. (I am using ODIN v3.09 at the moment, and i don't have any issues while flashing process..)

2- Change your port on PC that you are plugging the USB cable to it.. Try another port on PC.. If you have desktop computer try to plug the USB cable to the back ports of the case, not front ports.. If these don't fix the issue and if you have another computer, try with that computer..

3- If you haven't done, replace the Modem & Wi-Fi files to ODIN's "Phone/CP" section.. And Bootloader file to "BL" section..

4- If you are not trying with Samsung's original USB cable, then try with the original..

5- I always go to Download Mode by power off my phone completely then pressing Vol Down + Power (+Menu) buttons; not from phone's Power Menu -> Restart option.. And i flash modems or whatever i want without any issues.

Even if i don't untick

the "Auto Reboot" option on ODIN and i don't flash the modem twice. So far i always flashed modem and ROMs without any problems by the way i have mentioned..

Try these methods and give feedback..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Redscorpian:
Okay, here's what happened which explains the delay in responding too. I tried flashing the BL and Modems again, yes I use the USB ports at the rear of the PC and a genuine Samsung cable but changed them anyway as it's usually a good thing (learnt that ages ago!) and it froze half way through. Disaster (see screenshot). Left my phone seeming bricked. I tried flashing them again but nothing. When I tried booting I got a picture of 2 terminals saying I need to connect to Kies and update - not an option. Took me a while to get anything but eventually I was able to boot into 'Download mode', find the stock kernel I previously installed and flash that, root the device and install CWM recovery via Odin. However, here's the weird part for me - when I finally got this to boot up the android system failed with virtually everything wanting me to click 'OK' because it had failed and in the background was my customised background from Imperium V13.0. It was impossible to finish booting because of these errors so I removed the battery and booted into recovery, flashed V13.0 over this (no wipe) and amazingly it booted up as if almost nothing had happened. Hadn't rooted properly it seems and a couple of other things weren't quite right, several apps not working, some settings lost but minor things relatively speaking. I still needed to flash the BL and Modems as originally advised (fresh downloads) and as I could recover from the earlier disaster I decided to go ahead and amazingly it has worked. I updated Alucard to V2.3a and that failed to boot (stuck on bootscreen) so I dirty flashed everything over again and I didn't boot but went back into CWM recovery, flashed the kernel, cleaned cache (including Dalvik), booted and hey! It boots and runs with about 70% of my original system/apps still working as if nothing had happened. Just about restored everything that didn't work now I think and updated Google Play store so waiting to see if the original problem has been cured - Play Store continuously reporting that it has crashed and needs to close.

Hard to say if it's all working 100% now but so far so good. Think I've got everything back and running/set as previously. The second screenshot shows my stsem information including the Baseband and Bootloader versions being the same as the Build version - (XX)UGN12

What a palaver!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lawyer_06:
Ok, then two last suggestions for the moment, until we find a new solution for this issue:

1- Clear data and cache of Google Play Services from Phone Settings -> General -> Device manager - Application Manager

2- A few posts before [MENTION=5140419]tutankhamun[/MENTION] mentioned that the latest version of Google Play Services is v6.1.88.. Search that version on web and try it also..

Great rom. ...thanks...

Some questions:

1) Does anyone have the solution or experienced the video camera not recording sound? How to fix?

2) i experienced freezing a couple times randomly and occasionally with calling function. I was using imperium kernel. Anyone had this issue?

3) When installing the v13 rom. ... I downloaded the s5 pack and the bloatware zip and placed them all in the ext sd card . I installed with no issue but my question is did the rom use the s5 pack etc with the install? .... I think it did as it was asking me questions about versions to install?

4) I seem to be experiencing the phone not "reboot and install" when downloading a kernel from the OTA menu.

5) what seems to be the consensus on best kernel for performance and battery life? I've tried imperium and now trying sure. ...... I live in Australia if that helps am answer ;)

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gaww:
I am on US variant and am using Imperium kernel with no issues. Previously I had been on Googy Max 1.1.7 (which had OC built it - removed in latter versions).

Given the problems you are having, I doubt the kernel is the (or only) issue.

Suggest wiping caches and /system and reflashing the ROM and modules. Even though you can flash them at same time, I would flash the ROM first and reboot. If all is working OK, then maybe do the bloat Mod next and reboot. Maybe make a backup next, and then flash the s5 package. If any issues there, you have a good backup to fall back on.

I have been using these since v10 and have had no issues. I even flash an s5 (not ported) theme on top, and this only messes up phone/contacts, but easy to fix.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Redscorpian:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Geoz:
if you have Disable Google Location consent xposed module unchecked it and reboot
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Redscorpian:
I'm sorry but I don't completely understand that. Could you please explain this in more detail and are you totally aware of the problem?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Geoz:
I f you have xposed installed, you may need some modules like Wanam etc.. What I meant was if you have Disable Google Location consent as part of xposed modules then uncheck and reboot. It took about two/three months to get my Google play/Google play services stabled. I searched Google, XDA forums everywhere you name it and followed every instructions like clear cache, disable and force stop and so on but nothing worked till this solution and never have problems anymore
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lawyer_06:
First go to Phone Settings -> General -> Imperium Settings -> Xposed Menu -> Xposed Installer -> Modules, look in that list and if there is "Disable Location Consent" module in the list and if it is activated/ticked, then try [MENTION=4967901]Geoxx[/MENTION]'s suggestion and deactivate/untick it and reboot your phone..

After trying this suggestion then give feedback if it is ok or not..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Redscorpian:
Maybe that's why I didn't understand it too easily as that's not anything I've installed. I assume it's NOT suggested that I install it and leave disabled. So as I don't have that it doesn't resolve the ongoing problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lawyer_06:
Yes, if you don't have that module on your phone, it means [MENTION=4967901]Geoxx's[/MENTION] suggestion will not fix your problem..

I and lots of Imperium users don't have that Google Play service FC, so we should find out what is different from ours on your phone.. Maybe some apps are being conflicted with each other on your phone.. Or something other.. We don't know what is the origin of your issue.. I will search on Xda about this issue, maybe i find some solutions.. When i find some new solutions, i will share with you..

BTW, do you use any 3rd party of launcher or do you use Imperium's default Touchwiz launcher?

And another question: When do you encounter with that FC issue? Does it FC when you are running Google Play Store or without rhyme or reason?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Redscorpian:
I have started using Nova launcher and hope I don't have to revert to another. No, I'm not using Google Play Store in any way when the problem occurs - it is completely random as I'm not doing anything that shows anything consistent to the problem. The screenshots I've provided show different backgrounds, mostly 'desktop' background so nothing was being used as a foreground app.

Thanks again for your persistence
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Geoz:
If he don't have that module or any module concerning Google then I think the solution for now is to uninstall Google Play Services updates to go back to ROM and you'll be ok till you update
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lawyer_06:
Just for testing, use Touchwiz launcher temporarily for some days. Then observe if that issue will persist or not, until we find a new solution..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gaww:
I have had that happen on and off at times (I am using that Xposed module), but it did not really affect anything. I used Play store, Google mail, etc. without any issues - was just annoying when it popped up - now only sometimes at boot-up.

You might consider wiping /system and caches and reflashing the ROM and modules one at a time and see how it works before moving on the the next one.
