[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] nikosdd:
Some users reported a problem while installing. Will post a new topic when i have an answer or a solution to this problem

EDIT : Use links on my last post and flash the small flashable zip in attachments to install recent version until i fix the problem. Thanks

Welcome all!

First of all, im not responsible for anything that may happen to your device! By installing custom recovery, automatically voids you warranty and set your knox to 0x1 so if you dont care, continue!

I personally thank you ALL for testing my rom!

If you face a bug please report it in bug section by clicking here

If you have a request, report it to feature requests by clicking here

Version 1.1.x - Stands for De-odexed system on DOB5. Will receive every new update and in every update, i will try to port them in small flashable zips for you to be easier to upgrade

Version 1.2.x - Stands for De-odexed system on DOD3. The same as V1.1.x for the updates

This rom will be completely yours!. You will decide what to change and what to add. I will try to make polls that you will vote about the new feature, and please write on this topic your thoughts and what you want to be ported.

I will reject everything that slows down the device!

When all i9506 move on to DOD3 or DOD1, the development of DOB5 will stop.

I tripped Knox Warranty to 0x1 in order to be able to develop a rom for Galaxy s4 i9506 because in rom development there are not a lot of active projects. Im doing this for you! Nobody told me to do this! If you like this rom you can always help the development by testing it,and writing your opinion. And of course you can buy me a beer by pressing the donate me button, in order to be more happy to develop this rom during this hot summer!(In greece we have summer right now!)
