I am thinking about installing stock lollipop on my Galaxy S4, touchwiz lollipop just looks gross and I don't want it. Is this good idea? Which features will I loose compared to stock? First of all, i heard camera isn't that good... I currently have kitkat on I9505
[Galaxy S 4 General] ttabouch:
Just install CM12.1

It's super fast, smooth and according to my month of usage the battery life is better (without using greenify)

Am pretty sure you won't miss the gimmicks like air stuff...

The only thing you'll be missing is the camera app (use the htc one camera app it's faster and better)

Make sure you install the right modem for better call quality and the right Gapps

In conclusion TW rom is good but full of bloat and unnecessary apps that takes too much space

Sooo go ahead with the stock feel of goole rom
[Galaxy S 4 General] izmaelzx:
go ahead with touchwiz lollipop. you could install google now launcher and google keyboard and say goodbye to almost all touchwiz grossness. camera in cm12 its a shame compared to tw and nobody has solved it.

good luck
[Galaxy S 4 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Install Camera MX from the Play Store if you want a free option that has working HDR on CM12/12.1. However, be aware that like the Touchwiz S4 camera, the effect is entirely done using software. The better HDR apps such as Camera Zoom FX Pro (what I'm using) or A Better Camera take multiple images and layer them to create the final image.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sseuorosal:
The only thing you'll be missing is the camera app
[Galaxy S 4 General] Rhoban:
You won't have any of those fancy air gestures. Nor any of the samsung apps. And the camera features. It's not about the picture quality, it's more about the features the touchwiz camera has compared to the other camera apps.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Realistically, some features in the stock camera, for example motion picture or dual shot, are gimmicks. Everything else, including HDR, is a filter, which for the average person isn't a bad thing. Thankfully the stock camera's HDR filter isn't overblown and cartoonish, and using a filter does allow the end user to capture motion shots which multi-shot HDR (exposure bracketing) cannot.

Besides the fact it's free on the Play Store, the reason I recommended Camera MX if the OP goes to CM12.1 is because it has most of the same filters as the stock camera. It does have a couple gimmick features of its own, such as Mirror, where the right hand side of the image is a mirror of the left, and Kaleidoscope, where it literally takes a slice of the image and duplicates it in a 360-degree circle. While the app can be used "out of the box" without adjustments, unlike the stock camera you can change the intensity of the chosen filter, or even go with some really weird effects. For example, a HDR image where you have a rainbow of colors overlaying it instead of the expected "popping" of color.
[Galaxy S 4 General] rootuser11:
and you will lose bluetooth. that's a big deal.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Rhoban:
Bluetooth nowadays is used only for a wireless headset mostly and hooking the device up with your car. Other than that are there any other uses?

I have my device since november and used bluetooth only twice or thrice.

I doubt anyone uses bluetooth to send files anymore. Especially since you can do that now using NFC.

So it mostly depends on how often you use that particular feature.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I don't use Bluetooth at all. I have a wireless headset and never use it. So bluetooth is not a deal breaker.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ttabouch:
Bluetooth works with me

I can evev connect my ps3 controller to play games

There are no issues either in NFC or anything else
[Galaxy S 4 General] rootuser11:
To each his own.

Maybe you dont use BT as often as I do, but when you especially need it imagine how frustrating it will be.

nonetheless, touchwiz lollipop has its own ****ty problems like video lag and recents lag. I am gonna give another shot at cm12 and decide which one is less annoying and tolerable.

I regret selling off nexus 5.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
So how about enlightening the audience and explaining what you use bluetooth for? That way the OP can come to an informed decision based upon his needs, rather than listening to us prattle on about whether the bluetooth in CM12.1 is ready for prime time.
[Galaxy S 4 General] -Ric-:
Personally, stock 5.0.1 Touchwiz is running really well on my 9505, rooted with alot of apps disabled/deleted though. Battery life is great, around 3-4 hours of screen on time with data/wifi all day and over 5 hours with just wifi on all day, pretty much no lag (except for the awful recent app screen). I'd recommend it. If you really can't handle touchwiz, then i'd say go with a Google Play Edition room (9505 only).
[Galaxy S 4 General] izmaelzx:
+1
[Galaxy S 4 General] perevales:
And does anybody know how is camera in Google Play Editions?

Does it use Samsung drivers?
[Galaxy S 4 General] ttabouch:
According to my tests and usage

The quality is the same, no changes at all but the features in cm12 or Google play edition are few and way less than TW ao if you want HDR and stuff go for camera FX or some other camera apps
[Galaxy S 4 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The main problem in the GPE ROM is that the stock camera is the Google camera, and as you note, it's limited, though unlike CM12.1, HDR does work. Danvdh & Kryten's GPE ROM does have an add on where you can replace the Google camera with the OnePlus One or Motorola cameras. I personally recommend the OnePlus camera. A nicer interface and you can store photos on the MicroSD. Compared to the Google camera you don't get photosphere, but you do have working effects.

For CM12.1, Camera MX for the free option with working adjustable HDR and other effects filters, or if you go with a paid option, I recommend any camera app that includes three-shot exposure bracketed HDR, e.g. Camera FX Zoom Pro.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Annunneo:
Cm12.1, actually sabermod12.1 all the way!!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] towaie:
really bad battery and very very bad ram management on stock official ROM
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
Well... if an s6 touchwiz it's laggy if it doesn't run on a 7420... Prefer 100 times AOSP roms, but there aren't many for s4.
[Galaxy S 4 General] htr5:
Snap Camera (what I use with no problems and has most stock feel)

and

Camera MX are great options.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jojo665:
what about the gallary app ? i kinda like how it show you extra info like weather and location when you tap it once, is there any app does similar? thanks
[Galaxy S 4 General] gtorrese:
I think if it's possible for the main devs make a rom using base stock samsung rom kernel and libs and keep the look n feel AOSP

the result less bug on default hardware functionality and great stability on a rom pure google like google edition but made for i9500

it will great!
[Galaxy S 4 General] abescalamis:
I prefer stock roms customized like albe95 lollirom

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomGuy982:
So Microsoft confirmed that they will be testing a Windows 10 ROM that will install onto an Android phone, specifically the Xiaomi Mi4 to start with. My question is if it will install onto the Mi4, then couldn't we technically install it onto the N6 if somebody was able to get a hold of the ROM?

I've used windows phone in the past (windows 6 and previous versions), and wasn't the biggest fan of it, but I am interested in seeing what they do with 10. I have been trying the different tech previews for PC, and I like what they have done so far with that. From what I've read, it looks like it could be a dual boot with Android. That would be pretty cool to at least checkout. Thoughts?

Hello Dear XDA Users

This is my Halcyon kernel Its Simply Smooth Fast and Stable​

As many of you may know , Kernels deal with hardwares , And i though about a Kernel nearly to stock but optimized and deknoxed and permessive with some good functions like ksm turned on and smoother touch , So i modifyied the stock kernel and made this, its fully compatible with my Halcyon rom , and other new roms and ported roms like norma rom , s6 rom, aurora, and others , also works perfect with stock Rom and stock based Roms like Prism Rom

If you care much about your device hardware health and you want to have a custom rom run smoother and you care much about stability and making Rom bug free , i recommend you Halcyon kernel

its also support Private mode & Fast Cgarge & Glove Mode for ported Roms and Haylcion Rom very well and some minor stuffs i dont remember

For fastcharge to work you need S5 or Note4 Settings or other ways to trigger it

kernel version is 3.4.5 mean the latest released kernel

How to Install:

1- Place kernel zip in phone

2- Reboot into recovery

3- Flash zip file

4- Wipe Dalvik, Cache, Preload

5- Reboot , done.

I thinked everyone know how to flash a zip file i will add to op sorry , yes its enough
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Halcyon:
Its does its job even without clear dalvik but yes better to do clear cache+dalvik to be optimized with new kernel config..
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] rbhanot2:
I believe everyone knows how to flash zip files but confusion arose from the fact that your rom zip file isn't flashable, so just thought that same could be the case with your kernel zip as well.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Halcyon:
Hihihi , no, even now my rom coming with installation UI , sorry rom subjects are so time consuming and im lazy a bit, but i will try my best to everyone could install eiether rom or kernel.. anyway you're right

Awesome work with the kernel

The past 2 days i have been switching between VoLTaqe & LWK, but only came across force closes, random reboots and some touch problems....so today finally i gave a try to your kernel.

for starters it solved my FC problems, now apps work fine...even though i have underclocked the CPU to 1000mhz :)

and the ui is also very smooth

Will test the battery and let u know

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Flighter1990:
Really good kernel man! :) At last I found stable kernel without FC's and another crashes for stock android lollipop rom. This kernel is even better then dtock kernel. First of all, it's more faster. Secondly i think that this kernel is a bit more stable then the stock one. And finally, the temperatures are lower (that is very important for me). For example, on stock kernel when I play demanding game ( WoT blitz ) processor heats up battery even to 42°C. It's made game almost unplayable. But now on Your kernel temperatures dont go above 39°C, and thats verry great. There is only one problem. Synapse says that device is not supported. But the rest things are great. I really recomend this kernel. And thanks You for Your hard work! :o
