Anyone notice this on stock ROM?

Its hidden amazing feature...
[Galaxy S 4 General] edzamber:
How do you have Download booster ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] radz_:
Im not sure if its working or not.. but it comes on LL rom..

Use 3rd party launcher.. i use Nova,

Add widget, activities, settings, Download booster and UPSM is there....
[Galaxy S 4 General] pjuklas2:
No Download booster and UPSM on OD7. Which one u using?
[Galaxy S 4 General] edzamber:
Yes they are, i'm on HOD7 and find them... But not shure Download booster works, i try on 59mo file but no changes.
[Galaxy S 4 General] radz_:
Yeah.. even UPSM doesn't seem to work thats why its hidden maybe for future development from samsung, there might be some tweak needed to do, or sqlite edit...

We have great devs around here for S4 to check that.. i hope [MENTION=5403589]Albe95[/MENTION] or [MENTION=4543502]slim80[/MENTION] can check, and enable it...
[Galaxy S 4 General] edzamber:
UPSM works for me because i have integrate this Mod on my Rom ;)

Here it is if you want, but you need to be deodexed.

Flash by Philz recovery, CWM or TWRP.

Only for HOD7 deodexed

NB : first boot is long because of App optimisation, be patient and do a nandroid backup first !
[Galaxy S 4 General] pjuklas2:
i can't see anywhere maybe because not rooted
[Galaxy S 4 General] edzamber:
Into activity/settings

Try with this app, no need root.

[Galaxy S 4 General] pjuklas2:
I founded on nova launcher activities and settings but neither have download booster or UPSM.

Could be that after flashing OD7 on OB7 I didn't do factory reset, so that's why can't see.
[Galaxy S 4 General] edzamber:
I'm on OD7 and its there...
[Galaxy S 4 General] Corduroysack:
Same, I've found them downloads seem a lot faster edit sorry hadn't realised they'd upd are broadband speed today in this area
[Galaxy S 4 General] AlexVat:
Just flashed OD7 after doing a factory reset before AND after (coming from OB7). I can confirm the fact that there is NO UPSM or 3G+WiFi Combo. I believe that those options are available in Nova Launcher but they don't work on S4 even if they can be turned ON/OFF.
[Galaxy S 4 General] finac94:
How's the performance compared to ob7? Any improvements or bugs?
[Galaxy S 4 General] soukyaki:
Hi Edzamber, can you tell me what theme you're using, i like the icons on your notification bar. I'm on the latest stock rom.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 General] AlexVat:
Seems a little bit faster. Maybe it's placebo :D although the RAM management also seems a little better. Other than this there aren't any noticeable changes. I think all the changes were made "under the hood". I've tried Asphalt8 and Hearthstone and they ran very well, without any lag :D Also Asphalt8 seems to be running better than on OB7. From my point of view the update is OK and worth the trouble :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] raffmann:
I must agree!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] TheAwesomeBit:
This update is great coming from OB8. Phone is running smoother and battery has slightly improved.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bingley:
No Black version of 0D7 I assume?
[Galaxy S 4 General] TheAwesomeBit:
There is one if im not mistaken. Try looking around :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bingley:
Not than I can find, no btu version, just a German one.
[Galaxy S 4 General] TheAwesomeBit:
the firmware is absolutely the same. (see the changelist #). Its just the region which is different.
[Galaxy S 4 General] krGemini:
Disagree, I flashed OD7 via odin and all my apps and data was still there after successful update.
[Galaxy S 4 General] TheAwesomeBit:
the same happens with any firmware file, unless its a WIPE package, which would then wipe all ur data. The core firmware is still the same. Just for some firmwares you would have to manually wipe thereafter.
[Galaxy S 4 General] user of android:
Warranty

I know my warranty is void when I flash CM or an other rom on my phone, but I want to know if your warranty is also void when you do it via Odin.
[Galaxy S 4 General] wolfquatz:
Works on GT-I9500?

Works on GT-I9500?
[Galaxy S 4 General] AlexVat:
Your warranty is void when Knox shows 0x1. If you flash a custom rom/recovery you will trip Knox so your warranty will be void.

Flashing a new firmware via Odin does NOT trip Knox unless it's an older version. So if you choose to flash via Odin make sure that the firmware that you are flashing is NEWER than what you have on your phone.

Downgrading the firmware using Odin (from 5.0.1 to 4.4.2 for example) will trip the Knox counter and you can also soft-brick the phone.

Hope that everything is clear :good:

Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

No. This is only for GT-I9505, as the name of the thread says "Firmware-update Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505XXUHOD7 (BTU) (Android 5.0.1) "

Don't try to flash it on GT-I9500 or it will brick it.

Cheers! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] izmaelzx:
great, it works, odexed too, but please can someone upload stock untouched HOD7 BTU services.jar?

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 4 General] HITMAN-CREED:
I was in OB7 rooted with imperium v1.6 kernel, then flashed OD7 and rooted again, but didn't installed any kernel, now it's much more smoother than OB7 even with kernel..

If you have any questions, pm me...

[Galaxy S 4 General] pjuklas2:
Anyone fast mirror?
[Galaxy S 4 General] finac94:
Same change list as hod7 build, so it means no changes?
[Galaxy S 4 General] hare89:
Yeah probably no changes, just build date is newer ...
[Galaxy S 4 General] edzamber:
BL is different, 6 files in HOE1 (aboot, tz, rpm, sbl1, sbl2, sbl3) 5 files in HOD7 (aboot, tz, rpm, sbl2, sbl3) ...
[Galaxy S 4 General] droidcol:
No mega mirror yet?
[Galaxy S 4 General] dreadlord52:
i think that changelist indicates kernel changes not ROM changes. There is no kernel changes but there can be app changes. For example, I9500XXUHO7 and I9500XXUHOA both have same changelist. But I9500XXUHOA has 'Silent' mode, I9500XXUHO7 hasn't (only priority).

Another example, my old I9300 SIII's 2 ROMs (I don't remember versions) have same changelist. But one has scrollable slider in Music app, the another one hasn't.
[Galaxy S 4 General] radz_:
Interesting... thanks for sharing mate..

makes me think to flash OE1..
[Galaxy S 4 General] droidcol:
Try this one.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pjuklas2:
I already flashed HOE1.
[Galaxy S 4 General] HITMAN-CREED:
any noticeable differences??

OD7 Modified System UI

If any one wants i can share my modified system ui, so with this modified one you will have:

Fully Transparent Status bar without any black tint.

Galaxy S6 weather Icons and dialer and camera icons on lockscreen.
[Galaxy S 4 General] radz_:
None... it works great though...

I just noticed, .tar file of OE1 is bigger than OD7..

So there are some additional files, for better performance probably..
[Galaxy S 4 General] pjuklas2:
I didn't notice anything new, but performance seems better.
[Galaxy S 4 General] droidcol:
Yeah it's smoother than before, nothing else apparently.
[Galaxy S 4 General] droidcol:
I just realize that my camera shortcut on the lock screen wasn't working neither on od7 nor ob7 and now it is on oe1.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pjuklas2:
I think battery lasting so great on HOE1
[Galaxy S 4 General] myshu:
I can confirm. Battery is a lot better on OE1. 1 hour 15 mins of screen time and 72% left.
[Galaxy S 4 General] myawan:
Can somebody please share stock dialer app from OE1?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bingley:
Can I flash this over the btu black linked in op-just the system and modem, not data which I'll keep intact.

Is it Seebian or can it just be set to English/uk in the rom?
[Galaxy S 4 General] raman99311:
should i downlaod the whole file of update that is around 1.5gb to update my s4 to latest version ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] djsimon69:
After all I got it working. And LTE settings was right :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] raman99311:
is this upgrade worth downloading 1.5gb?
[Galaxy S 4 General] droidcol:
I would say you can, don't see any problem.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Corduroysack:
OE2 is showing as the newest firmware im in uk would it be advisable to flash this? :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bingley:
Where is that listed?

sorry cant post live links yet
[Galaxy S 4 General] pjuklas2:
Anyone already running hoe2? How battery? Working well in Europe?
[Galaxy S 4 General] planetf1:
I'm in the UK so tend to stick to European roms... So I can say the slovenia oe1 is good, I see Luxembourg is the latest. Oe2 is Saudi Arabia so I'd skip it
[Galaxy S 4 General] Corduroysack:
is there a Mega mirror available?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Soft4y:
Can we install it on GT-I9500 ,guys? :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] raffmann:
No. It's a different model.
[Galaxy S 4 General] shamsan007:
OTG problem

:crying:

after installing OD7 update OTG is not working,

the phone always say (Unsupported file system or empty flash disk )
[Galaxy S 4 General] droidcol:
After my phone stabilized I'm happy with oe1 from Slovenia, don't see the need to install another build.
[Galaxy S 4 General] u363840:
Hi,

a gift for the black edition owners, released today (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/47724/I9505XXUHOE1_I9505YXXHOE1_LUX) : I9505XXUHOE1_I9505YXXHOE1_LUX.zip

I have some questions about Odin & Samsung update files :

- Bootloader (BL in Odin) = aboot.mbn, rpm.mbn, sbl1.mbn, sbl2.mbn, sbl3.mbn, tz.mbn

- System (AP (ex-PDA) in Odin ~ general use) = boot.img (kernel), recovery.img, system.img.ext4

- Modem = modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin

- CSC = cache.img.ext4, hidden.img.ext4 (contains mp3 it seems)

What is the real difference of using BL or AP in Odin ? Only a selection of the files uploaded to the phone ?

Is the CP (ex-Phone) field used to update the Modem (as for BL) ?

Also, can anybody mount the system fs (possible ?), add root, then use it to flash ? Will this trigger anything / change any status in the system (I don't think about knox as it seems limited to kernel & recovery, right ?) ?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bingley:
I assume you can use the non-knox-tripping method again, ie flash, downgrade the kernel, root, reflash correct kernel. No idea about BL or AP
[Galaxy S 4 General] HITMAN-CREED:
Any OE2 mirror link??
[Galaxy S 4 General] vforvlive:
There is no OE2 mate, the latest is OE1:cyclops:
[Galaxy S 4 General] raman99311:

[Galaxy S 4 General] HITMAN-CREED:
َAs you can see here in Live Samsung Updates

There are OE1 & OE2 Firmwares.

OE2 is the latest rom, have ever been released.

EDIT: I think I found a mirror:

But what does this mean? LRX22C

[Galaxy S 4 General] radz_:
Anyone here has a Mega mirror or any other link for OE2? Sammobile link is to slow!..

Is there really a difference in battery life from hod7 to oe1/2
[Galaxy S 4 General] OzGurKan:
i dont see any...:))
[Galaxy S 4 General] vforvlive:
The changelist is same as the DBT OD7 soo there is no reason to install E1 or E2 ppl!!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] HITMAN-CREED:
Changelist doesn't mean being the same.

for example both roms have the same change list, but one has silent mode, the other doesnt have.

I have the mirror of the OE2 Firmware
[Galaxy S 4 General] vforvlive:
silent mode is since OB7 on each Rom bro....
[Galaxy S 4 General] HITMAN-CREED:
Sir i mean, i have seen the roms that have the same changelist, but other features...

Check better if your not shure!

I've installed over 25-30 devices with different roms an the only difference is the applications!;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] radz_:
Your right.. same changelist even feature.. its just a new build... we all know that..

But if we want the updated version its fine right?

Its not illegal.. its doesn't matter if its the same or not, some users always want to have the updated versions..
[Galaxy S 4 General] vforvlive:
Yes its fime;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Usama707:
I Have Installed BTU Lollipop Firmware On GT I9505 but its not as smooth as kitkat in my opinion especially the launcher which lags sometimes

i have cleared cache,factory reset multiple times but its consuming like 1.10 gb RAM all the time even after closing everything from task manager

Any Fix? Or Will Any Other Region Firmware solve this?
[Galaxy S 4 General] hare89:
Ram issue is present in every build so we just need wait for samsung to push 5.1.1 and polish it even more,dunno for me this latest build is excellent (hod7) except for ram...
[Galaxy S 4 General] Usama707:
Any Idea Whether Gt I9505 Will Get Any Further Official Updates Or Not?
[Galaxy S 4 General] raffmann:
I don't think samsung will support the i9505 anymore because the 18-months updates period is over... But i am not totally hopeless. Anyway after a few months my sgs4 is going to be history[emoji24].
[Galaxy S 4 General] Usama707:
I Cant Believe That Sammy is Going to leave this device on 5.01 and with that memory leak issue ::crying: atleast they should fix that memory leak issue :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] hare89:
I think that they are probably going to update all their devices that got 5.0/5.0.1/5.02 to 5.1.1 eventually or higher depending when they start updating cause its not major update just bug fixing...

But lets wait :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] AlexVat:
Coming from OD7 to the Luxembourg Black Edition OE1 firmware I find it much snappier. It's not placebo as I've been using the OD7 for 2 weeks without installing many apps. From my point of view, the OE1 feels faster and lighter than the OD7. The battery seems a tad better too, but it's too early to be sure.
[Galaxy S 4 General] portaleus:
Same for me.

Could it be explained because the firmwares has more files in it?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Usama707:
I am Also Using The OD7 Firmware Mentioned In The First Page Of This Thread and its a bit slower than kitkat,do u recommend OE2 Or OE1? and download link please?
[Galaxy S 4 General] AlexVat:
OE2 is for Saudi Arabia. OE1 is the same firmware but for Europe. I hope I'm not wrong. Anyway, I chose OE1 because it was unbranded and didn't have any more apps installed :)

You can get which ever you prefer from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9505/

Have a nice day :good::highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 General] skezza:
I've just bought a GS4. Unfortuantely, it's been pre-rooted which means it doesn't want to OTA. Shall I just flash this via Odin?
[Galaxy S 4 General] radz_:
Yes
[Galaxy S 4 General] Usama707:
Thanks and is there any performance improvement?

i have found mirror link to this LRX22C.I9505XXUHOE2

so should i download this and disable those bloatware because i cant download OE1 from Sammobile it doesnt provide good speed :crying:

if u have mirror link for OE1 then give me please:)
[Galaxy S 4 General] AlexVat:
The performance seems a little better.

I will upload the OE1 firmware once I get home from work and send you the link in a PM.

Have a nice day.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Corduroysack:
Oe1 is great the battery life is much improved I'm now getting a full day use and still had about 40% when i went to bed last night.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Usama707:
Thanks and i have installed OE2 Firmware And Disabled Arabian Bloat,it seems faster than OD7,Not Sure About Battery Life Yet
[Galaxy S 4 General] AlexVat:
Check your inbox, you have PM ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Usama707:
What do u recommend Should i Install OE1? As i have already installed OE2 today
[Galaxy S 4 General] AlexVat:
It's the same firmware with some Saudi Arabia customizations.

I don't think there's any difference regarding the performance.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Gloris:
i'm currently on HOD7, which is the latest official UK BTU firmware (which is what my device was originally when I bought it brand new).

does HOE1/2 give much of a performance upgrade/battery saving/stability etc? and if so, do i HAVE to wipe the device and reinstall everything again, or if i flash it with ODIN can I still keep my setup, like apps, photo's settigns, etc, without having to download them all and set up all my apps and ghoemscreens how i like them again?
[Galaxy S 4 General] portaleus:
From the few comments above yours and my personal opinion, I would say that the latest firmware (HOE1) improved smoothness and battery life. Do not flash HOE2 as it is region and carrier-specific.

You can flash modem and bootloader with ODIN without losing anything. Just wipe cache and dalvik for good measure.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Riskytwin:
HOE1 is better firmware in terms of fluidity, performance and battery live. You can flash it on top of your present firmware through ODIN without repartition and everything will be fine. You won't lose a single coma of your configuration. That's my experience.
[Galaxy S 4 General] AlexVat:
OE1 is better than OD7 from my experience with it until now. You can flash it directly on top of it without deleting anything, although it's not recommended as the system will not be 100% clean. In time, this could cause problems/errors so I would recommend you to try and make a clean/fresh install. It's not true that the OE1 is carrier or region specific. I've installed OE1 for the Luxemburg Black Edition and I can confirm you 200% that it has NO bloatware, NO operator applications/customizations. It's 100% CLEAN, just as released by Sammy. Have a nice day, mate! :good::highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Usama707:
I personally used OD7 some days ago and now using OE2 which is the latest but i cant find much difference in terms of almost anything
[Galaxy S 4 General] portaleus:
Yes, you are right! I made a typo, only HOE2 is region-specific.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Usama707:
OE2 Is FOR KSA but i dont think it matters as u can disable whichever apps u want to,OE2 Must be the same as OE1 in terms of performance and stability?

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

Is there any mirror available for OE1 Standard Edition Not black edition?
[Galaxy S 4 General] u363840:
Some bad points for HOE1 :

-I use dot lockcode, often the screen goes black before I can put the code (I try to see what are the notifications, and it's over, have to wake it up again to unlock), very short unlock timeout ;

-I had an audio routing bug, the music was playing though the front earpiece instead of the speaker ; making a small call solved it ; never had this previously ;

-Maybe just lollipop's "feature", but I can't disable 5GHz wifi it seems (not used & deployed so much currently) ;

-Maybe lollipop again, but I can't easily disable GPS without disabling the whole location feature it seems .. The notification shortcut disable the whole feature unlike kitkat which only disabled GPS leaving GSM&Wifi localisation enabled.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Usama707:
Are You Using OE1 Black Edition Or Non Black?
[Galaxy S 4 General] u363840:
Black
[Galaxy S 4 General] Usama707:
1:- I Think its same in all Screen timeout in lockscreen is very short in all Firmwares

2:-not sure about routing

3:- not sure :p

4:-Lollipop Itself,Not Samsung's Fault
