Thanks for the preview. I'm definitely going to try this when available. Does Tesla have a regular release cycle? (I'm not asking for an ETA but just trying to get an idea :) )

hello guys I have a sgh-i337m and I was wondering if u could help me. I found various android pie roms like the rr one or the lineageos one but I don't know which one is better can you help me get the best one please.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mrrocketdog:
"better" is very subjective. the best way i've found to start off is reading the posts on each of the threads. people usually will report bugs & fixes. also sometimes mods or workarounds for various things. from there , flash the one that looks the "best" to you and try it out. because trying them out is really the only true way to find out which is best for your useage/needs. good luck :)

I might be a little late but I dont think Galaxy S4 has a Marshmellow upgrade. You may need a new phone.

The following rom works with our phones: Imperium http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-imperium-ll-v1-0-t3046889 He uses aroma for the install and has the Canadian CSCs in there. I'm trying it right now and it seems quite stable. I'm also finally getting my battery time back but that may be because I removed a few apps I was running.

Thanks love this thread.

I've used Goldeneye, Danvdh's GPE. Currently on Goldeneye as that's been updated to 5.1 whereas Dan is still waiting on the update

Anyone using F2FS can comment on it? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptor170:
So far I've used kangapop, pacman ROM, validus, and now currently on Tesla, havnt switched to f2fs yet. F2fs was fast as hell on my other device but I found less stable, has f2fs been running well on the jflte?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] s3nr1:
Which GoldenEye is this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Jchef:
It's not 5.1. It was updated 5.1.15. There are no 5.1 touchwiz firmwares.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] xstokerx:
But there are 5.0.1 tw roms just flashed goldeye running great set my phone to I19505 and AEL 4.3 kernel in aroma as per the q&a over on that thread well see how the battery life and performance is. I'm going to daily drive for a few weeks see how it is and compare against my nexus 5. I also left the boot loader and radio alone so if any one knows if there's better radios out be great if some one could link or suggest the.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Steven Schneider:
i9505 is compatible with our i337m S4

This appears to be very true. I've been using the Resurrection Remix rom for I9505 with success for the last couple of months. I had to modify the asserts file to include our jfltecan into the tags, then it flashed just fine. Works great, very stable, smooth, fast rom. I have also flashed Pacman, and Echo roms, which were also quite good.

PS, I'm very glad to have discovered this thread tonight, but we really need to be sharing benchmarks, and feature lists of various roms so we can objectively compare them. No offense, but all I can see from this thread is a bunch of pretty rom names. I don't know if they are truly better or worse then the current custom rom I'm using. Does anyone know of a good rom review site??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] xstokerx:
K so I've been running goldeye for about a week now I did update to the latest radio and bootloader with out problem and battery life is a bit better then my nexus 5 I'm getting 3.5-4 hours screen time on lte mostly browsing and chive app. My nexus 5 gets just over 3 hours so ya in that way this phone lasts a bit longer.

Also benchmark ed antutu at 26000 without modding anything
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Jchef:
I recommend trying them all. I am currently on imperium 9. Very customizable. Xposed preinstalled. Fast and good battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptor170:
If people start uploading benchmark scores (list both gov. Scheduler, etc.) I can post them along with the ROMs. Think their are a few ROMs I have to update there. For me I'm currently on Tesla, which for me has been the quickest, most stable ROM I've ran

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nlansing:
What governors and schedulers are you using?

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

Can you tell me more about the Tesla ROM? I've got their Google+ page but there isn't much information there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nlansing:
OK I thought I'd just go ahead and try it out! It's only been about an hour but wow, so far so good! It's so fast and smooth... just the boot time alone is at least halved. And Xposed is working, so I'm happy. Benchmarks are also higher... with nothing tweaked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptor170:
The gov and scheduler was performance and scheduler is tripndroid

Tesla is an aosp based ROM made by gzr (ground zero ROMs) it has rro layers support. And a whole bunch of other goodies, its also maintained for our device by a kick ass dev [MENTION=993377]chris4824[/MENTION] or +chris hall on g+
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nlansing:
ahh ok you mentioned them already, I just didn't recognize them. So far so good!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptor170:
Good to hear man, my normal gov for everyday use is smartmax_eps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptor170:

what up peeps.. :) .. saw [MENTION=5212860]raptor170[/MENTION] mentioned me so I thought I'd stop and say hello.. Kernel is coming great.. Made some more changes and doing another test build now.. Added CPU UC & OC and GPU OC.. How about CPU being at 2295 and GPU set at 585.. What kind of score will that bring.. lol.. But there are also ALOT of other changes with a touch of butter smooth.. Stay tuned.. Remember I don't visit XDA often so hit me up on G+..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] serkan5000:
Ive tried danvdh (kind of unstable), goldeneye (not a fan of touchwiz, and not metadata using Bluetooth), and pac man rom (good but bluetooth crashes and needs reboot to work). How is Tesla? Does it have any quirks/problems? Ive been hearing good things about it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptor170:
I've ran kangapop, pacman ROM, validus, and Tesla. And Tesla by far is the fastest, most stable, feature packed ROM I've ran, also no screen wake lag which I was getting on most ROMs. I've ran it over a month or so now and no RR, sod, etc. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] macwindows:
Hi raptor170

Thanks for bringing the ground zero roms for canadian s4. I have quick question, before jump the hoops, is Tesla more performance based or does it have tweaks for good battery life?

Appreciate your efforts.

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptor170:
I'd say its well balanced, its butterly smooth and battery life is kick ass, my last charge was 32 hours ago, I have 3.5 hours sot and 15% left.

I was on the defaults. I switched to smartmax/trippndroid like you suggested, and it seems much better now. I'll try it out for a few days and see if it keeps up. Thanks for the suggestion!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DavidGame:
Just wondering, have you guys notice long charge time over Tesla ROM?

Everything on this ROM is superb exept that. Been on charge for 3 hours and not completly charge? Usually, if im right after 2 hoursbit should be done or almost.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nlansing:
Mine charges just fine. I haven't measured but it'll probably fully charge in 1.5 hours. Did you try different chargers?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DavidGame:
I have 2 galaxy S4, one is work provided and stock. If I see a bug, i can compare between each.

That being said, I came in late this morning at work. Cell was Off, then no alarm! ? I turn it on and it says that the battery is 1%. I swap the battery and on the other device it says 68%.....

Wondering if there an issue with kernel/battery charge controler.

I'm about to try the new build, when I was reading the procedure, it says " make sure you have the latest radio". I am not sure about that, I use to flash the radio on my desire HD. On the Galaxy S4 I never did. I am just aware about the kernel and ROM.

I need some light on this.

Thx in advance.

---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 AM ----------

My current modem ( baseband I337MVLUFNC1 ) seems to work fine... but I've heard I should be running a LP modem and bootloader when using a LP rom for best performance. However, I've also read somewhere that the newer bootloaders are responsible for "locking down" some phones making flashing, etc more difficult or impossible. My old Motorola Atrix 4g had this issue after I OTA'd the official Gingerbread onto it years ago.

Anyway, I thought I'd confirm with the guru's here at XDA before "taking the plunge". What do you guys think? ..and also where do I get the latest modem / bl for our phone anyway?

Thanks in advance!

Steve.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptor170:
Thanks for confirming about f2fs, I've ran f2fs on another phone and it makes a huge difference in overall speed, think I'll be nandroiding and trying those ROMs out, I've seen a few suggestions for both the optimized cm12 and the s6 port. Wanted to give f2fs a whirl on the s4 anyways :)

I'm not on lp modem/ baseband and everything runs perfect, seems like they aren't floating around and you would have to flash official lp firmware for the modem/ baseband. I personally wouldn't worry about it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Steven Schneider:
To be clear, albe95 s6 port DOES NOT support f2fs. It was the optimized CM 12.1 that did.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DavidGame:
I'd like to know if the radio version(baseband) can change the quality of the signal depending on the carrier. My baseband is 1337MVLUAMG1 and on telus network. Wondering if any newer one would be make it better ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nlansing:
In general terms, this is how I flashed the latest LP bootloader and baseband. I downloaded the stock firmware from sammobile.com. I then extracted the bootloader and baseband files using 7zip. Then I flashed them in ODIN. Let me know if you would like more details, like the names of the files and method to flash in ODIN.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
I've been running Albe's S6 port version 3.5 since it's release. Aside from the S6 contacts bug - it has been error free for me. I stick with stock based roms as I like to sync my gear watch (which needs touchwiz) The kernel settings are very aggressive, and there have been a few feedbacks on phones getting very hot. There are settings within the first two or three posts on the thread - as well as much feedback on the actual kernel thread.

Good luck with whichever rom you choose - lots of good options
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DavidGame:
I used Odin 2 years ago when rooting. So maybe you could pm me the files name or link to procedure. I was wondering too if you saw an improvement over an older baseband?

Ive just flashed the latest modem, moving from NC1 to OC4. Don't see much of a difference. I still only have two bars. . suppose i could do some download speed tests ( as my wife's phone is still on the old modem ), if anybody is curious.

Regarding the bootloader, does anyone know what it does and why i would want to upgrade it? My understanding is the kernel does basic i/o functions.

and then follow instructions in the attachment
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptor170:
As the other member mentioned DL this twrp .tar file from https://dl.twrp.me/jfltecan/twrp-2.8.4.0-jfltecan.tar.html

Also download Odin onto your computer and I would also download Samsung USB drivers. Also if you can, download the latest SuperSU.zip from chainfire and place it on external SD.

Start by opening the developer options menu, if u havnt yet done this you make it show by going to settings-about phone- than tap build number I believe 7 times (it will count down for you), than go to developer options and enable USB debugging

Now go back to windows and open up Odin as administrator, select PDA and select the twrp.tar image (make sure first it was a good download)

Now boot phone into DL mode, I believe its holding power and vol down, once into DL mode plug phone into computer and Odin should show phone as connected, now hit start and don't touch anything. Once done, boot into twrp by holding I believe vol up and down and power, when u see writing on the top let go of the buttons and repeatedly hit vol up ( I had to do that to get into twrp first time, phone kept just booting up) once in flash the SuperSU.zip, reboot and reap the benefits
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] reasonz20:
Do I need to unlock bootloader or anything like that?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptor170:
With jfltecan, bootloader is already unlocked :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nlansing:
I'll post it here for everyone to see.

So I got the stock rom from sammobile.com. I extracted modem.bin and non-hlos.bin (these are wifi/cellular modem files) and all the .mbn files (bootloader) using 7zip. I flashed the .bin files in Odin 3.07 in the "Phone" section. I created a .tar file using 7zip (name it whatever you want) and included all the .mbn files and flashed it in the "PDA" section.

This should work, but for me and others, the updates would not stick. So in case it doesn't stick: flash as above with "auto reboot" unchecked in Odin. Reboot into download mode again (Don't boot up the system). Close and restart Odin, and flash again like you did the first time but this time with "auto reboot" checked. Do this for each file.

Let me know if anything is unclear.

I can't say I've seen a difference in performance like speed and connectivity but I think i'm seeing less random network issues where my mobile data would suddenly stop working. So I think there is increased compatibility. Bootloader, I haven't noticed anything differently but why not have the latest firmware?

Hope this helps!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Steven Schneider:
Thanks for the info! The only thing I could find on extracting the boot loader was for an i9500, and said to pull the sboot.bin.. Which doesn't exist in this firmware. Do you know if there is a reference to what each of these mbn files do?
