[Galaxy S 4 General] sasiskas:
sasiskas 5.0.1 ROM for Galaxy S4 DUOS I9502

First of all, let me tell you the

story

and the

philosophy

behind this ROM.

The story:

One month ago I bought an I9502 because it was the best dual sim phone for it's price. Unfortunately it is oriented for the Chinese market so it is full of Chinese customizations and apps. And since there are no International-oriented custom lollipop roms available, I decided to create one by my own.

The philosophy:

The rom is based on my personal preferences, I just share it because why not! Since I am not a samsung software fan, I removed almost every samsung bloatware. And Obviously removed all the chinese crap and customized everything I could in order to make the rom more international.

The ROM is based on a the latest I9502ZNUJOC3 firmware. In order to save some time I found the official ROM Deodexed from romzj.com and customized it to my personal taste.

KNOWN ISSUES

If you go to "settings->security->sim change alert" the settings app will crash. Generally some items in settings menu are not working because they are linked to Samsung Account, this happens because I removed Samsung Account, I left the settings there in case someone wants to reinstall Samsung Account.

After boot, Touchwiz might crash one time. I'm not sure what causes this issue, but I don't mind since I use Nova Launcher. If you want you can help me find the source of the problem. Fixed in version 1.1

Messaging app crashes Fixed in version 1.2

Contacts not recognized in messages or when receiving a call. Fix according to your country.

Generally the rom is VERY stable, and I have no issues so far.. (I use it since July 2015)
