Notes:

1. You must already have a compatible custom kernel installed. Recommended Kernel: http://www.imperiumrom.com/S4/5.0.1/OTA/kernel/Imperium_LL_Kernel_v3.1.zip

2. After flashing I9505 firmware your wifi password may be forgotten upon reboot. To resolve this issue use ES File Explorer with root access enabled to edit the following build.prop line: ro.securestorage.support=true to "false"

3. You may also continuously receive an annoying security message. You can disable this message by using TiBu to freeze or remove the SecurityLogAgent.apk. Thanks to [MENTION=6396069]Nana Ayeh[/MENTION]
