[Galaxy S 4 General] Qosmio-:
Hi to all die hard S4 users,

The S4 is a phone with great performance but after testing latest lollypop I9505ZHUHOK2 on the S4 i come to the conclusion that lollypop will never run as smooth as kitkat XXUGNK4 and have the same battery use, i still read that many users have the same experience as i have and are also saying goodbye to lollypop, the reason i open this thread is that lots of good kitkat mods and info is very cluterd around and i would like to exchange info to let the S4 running at his best with Kitkat, i am very close in doing that but maybe i missed some good tweaks or mods that gets the most out of the S4, hence i will post my config and mods and running rom hoping other users do the same so we can all use the S4 at his best.

Rom : Goldfinger Kitkat V9 http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/moving-please-post-t2864816

Kernel : AELKernel v6 5B http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2711416

Tweaks : Skynet http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/android-l-booster-1-soon-t3030796

Xposed and wanam Well known so no need for link

I have installed every kitkat rom available but always returned to Goldfinger rom because of its stabillity and S5 layout, i have undressed the rom to bare minimum, no google and no samsung apps or services other then samsung health app, for email i use exchange push and samsung browser for internet browsing and i have a total of 41 apps installed.

I am trying to keep all at minimum what i need so no apps to control the kernel settings or other tweaks as they use resources and memory, i have modified Skynet mod to control all CPU and GPU settings and S4 related kernel and system tweaks and mitigate just to one script and that works flawlessly.

Tweaking the system to it best (i think) with antutu benchmark score of 31250 and a great battery life of 6+ hours of movie watching and 5+ hours of normal use with wifi on or with LTE on, this is done by fine tweaking system without restricting the CPU (162 - 1890 MHZ) or GPU (128 - 450) other than under volt CPU, GPU and under clocking the CPU.

This log tweak list comes from the script when it is executed so you see quick overview of setting, i can’t put it up the package for download but i can put up the file you need to replace after installation of skynet.

Download and install skynet from http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/android-l-booster-1-soon-t3030796 and replace after installation the init.d script file skynet2 from this post and remove all scripts except control, skynet2 and supersudeamon script.

Tweaks and settings are done on the mentioned kernel and rom above, use it at your own risk.

I am not at all responsible for inventing or creating these tweaks i just collected them and spend lots of time changing, testing it and implementing it on the S4, all credits goes to k1ks for his skynet project wich makes your phone fly on less fuel and makes it fast and smooth as butter.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Cheers

twrp backup system, put this file on your sd card twrp backup folder and restore system, clear cache and dalvik cache and clear data, wait for first boot and let it settle for 30 seconds then reboot to execute the scripts and your good to go. when you clear cache someday you need to reboot after apps are optimized or else init.d scripts will not be executed they will after second boot. (This happens only when doing so, normal boots or reboots are fine.)
