no it is still on MIUI 6.4.1 but that doesn't really matter. It is still very usable and i would prefer it to the version you get from the website since many things are included.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HikingMoose:
I hope you guys are still picking away at trying to get MIUI 8! I just wish I knew more about android, and could be of some help. I can test though, if anyone gets a version booting.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HikingMoose:
Well shoot. I guess I shouldn't keep pushing my luck, I was trying to install this one of our old JFLTEUSC phones, but I got Error 7 on the first attempt. So I removed the assert, and then got Error 4. I guess I shouldn't try again, unless you guys think it should work? I currently have a 9505 ROM on my other JFLTEUSC. But may be that had been unified (but was under this section?)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tweakforce_LG:
I'm sure JDCTeam would be happy to help. They are very nice people. Also very skilled
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HikingMoose:
So, in recovery this says it's for GT-I9508 and not for .... So how are you guys installing it on non I9508 phones without getting Error 7?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] IdieBoue:
I use this rome for couple days and I can with fully right sad that this is the most beautiful s4 rom by now. UI is extremly fast and fluid and everything works. I even test those maps thas someone mentioned with contact acces and still everything working, no bootloop no nothing....BUT BUT BUT...battery is a big problem. Its draining very fast. Someone here tell that he got very good SOT. Thats probably true, becasuse actual usage of the phone with this rom is ok, batery drains normal, but in sleep/standby mode it`s draining very fast, like 10% per 2h or something(on touchwiz its like 10% per day in standby mode). I guess that some process running all the time in the background, but thats just a guess, I don`t know....anyway, thanks to this Nagash fela...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HikingMoose:
What device did you use it on, a 19508? I want to try this version, but I'm stuck using the China version because it flashes, and I can't get this one too flash.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] IdieBoue:
Im using i9505....I believe that China version is basicaly the same just with more Chinese bloatware, but you can remove that with some root uninstaler...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HikingMoose:
Yeah, that's what I did, just removed what I don't use. It works pretty decent on the S4.

I have the same problem using MIUI 7 stock-based. I get bootloop when I use Google Maps with GPS set on high accuracy and mobile data on.

I gave Maps access to contacts but the problem persists.

Can you help me with that please??

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] side:
No no no guys. Jdc roms are unified. Edited ramdisk, device tree, telephony, init... Everything. We got to take the original ramdisk from cm rom and make some changes.

I can do that I guess.can u give me the manifest u use?

If we boot for jfltexx I will make it unified

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] marm0tte31:
Hi guys,

In fact, this bootloop problem happened to me with other apps than GMaps, all use GPS but not contacts ...

- LeBonCoin (second hand market app capable to localize you) : id=fr.leboncoin

- RATP (french subway and bus app using GPS) : id=com.fabernovel.ratp

[MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION], you said :

"We got to take the original ramdisk from cm rom and make some changes.

... If we boot for jfltexx I will make it unified"

This ROM is the best for I9505, would it be possible to work on this GPS & bootloop problem? Is there a tutorial to modify the CM RAMdisk and make jfltexx unified?

So for those desperatalely wanting miui 8. There is actually an chines miu 8 rom for i9505 based on cm13 (android 6)

http://www.miui.com/thread-7657081-1-1.html

https://pan.baidu.com/s/1miRY72o (direct link)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiCYzmywAgU&t=254s (tutorial to download without baidu account.

tested it, and it works. It even has multilang. The thing is, it is still full chines in many apps. It even miss some miui apps like the weather. So in order to actually use it, we would need again some modded version of it like the nagash mod. Thats why i am posting it here. Hope someone can do something
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lesterbic:
esta rom es compatible con el modelo s4 sgh m919 estaba viendo q la mayora son compatibles por snapdragon 600 pero queria saber si es compatible o hay alguna otra rom miui v7 para mi modelo
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] thereINS:
any update for this rom

After trying a lots of Roms (4.4 to alphas 8.0, Cyanogen, Imperium, Lineage, Resurrection...) this is the one that I like the most. Smoth xperience free of lag, the TW camera and the beauty of MIUI is the perfect combination for me.

Thanks to the creator.

I just wish that it would be an update that put expanded volume controls and the new android security patch... maybe an MIUI 8 or 9 port based on this 4.4 versión of Android. I have been trying de MUI 8/Android 6 one version and it is much more laggiest than this one and doesn't have the TW camera.

Are messenger chat heads working? I tested MIUI before and they weren't showing up, only got notifications in the notification drawer, but the chat heads never appeared
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] umar345:
awesome work
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] demon2112:
Works better then the official only thing is that the numbers without countycode arent recognised in phone/contacts app
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] demon2112:
Damnnn even this build has random reboots

Does someone know if there is a custom kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nagash91:
I have never experienced a random reboot with this ROM, only with other MIUI build, in particular I think random reboot happens when you freeze/disable/remove some particular system apps. Don't know if greenifying system apps you get the same result.

Another random reboot bug presents when the phone is connected to computer with USB and you are calling with mobile phone radio.

You can solve the problem adding Country Code for all your contacts stored without a country code, use Number Fixer app in the play store.

It's not a perfect solution, but this bug is due to MIUI and I don't think I can solve this with little effort.

I forgot to put the program in to the ROM and to mention it in OP, will be integrated in the next release like Kernel Adiutor and MoreLocale2 are.

I don't know, I don't use facebook so much and I hate chat heads (and in general I hate always on services!) :p

I could try and report, if other people with this rom installed could try chat heads, please report!

You are right, I wanted to upload on Mega but I did not. I'll do it tonight, really. (I only have 0.5MBps upload..... really deadly..).

BTW I don't have a full MEGA account, only the free one.

If you know some good site where to upload please let me know!

Using MoreLocale2 included in the rom, you can chose the language. Italian is present and most of the rom is multilanguage (so also italian is present).

Some parts of chinese are here, it can be annoying indeed, but if you do not use the most 'social' MIUI app (music, gallery, themes) the rest is 95% multilanguage.

(I'm italian and I'm using italian language in this rom).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nagash91:
I really don't know!

It's based on official Touchwiz for i9505, I have zero experiences with other types of galaxy s4.

If can help, the original Rain_Bow rom is released for "Galaxy S4 I9505/I9508/L720" in the chinese thread.

I used Ricky Kitchen to do the Mod, and I did not touch the kernel, only files in System (and obiously the META-INF for flashing).

I can not guarantee anything because I don't have that phone, but if you know something I'd be glad you to share in this thread!

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] badboyblue:
I tried to flash I337M, but your rom failed to flash, i9505_shiro rom worked but failed to connect to the camera, i9505_rainbow doesn't flash, only rom for L720 Rainbow worked perfectly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Reznoov:
Why i can't change the Lockscreen?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Reznoov:
And another question, I received a notification system telling me to att the rom, it's safe?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nagash91:
What are you talking about?

You can use themes to change lockscreen, you can put password at logscreen in the system settings, and you can change the background!

I don't know, probably it will re-install the few app that I removed, and rewrite all the system files, loosing some personalization.

BTW MIUI update are weekly, I can't keep up, and usually do not add much.

When I can I will update my rom, if you want to try to update, please make a backup with your recovery ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Reznoov:
I can't put password, I ve already change a pin but when I lock screen it's normal without pin; EDIT: only pattern method work

Sorry for the bad English
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wojnar:
Hi is there any custom kernel for this rom?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Vicious89:
I flashed this on m919 and worked smoothly for about 18 hours until it randomly threw me into an infinite bootloop with the miui logo. Turning it off and cycles back into the bootloop. Had to flash back to lollipop. Otherwise its a great rom, one of the smoothest I've ever used minus the bootloop. I would easily default to this rom as my daily driver if it wasn't for the bootloop. will any other 4.4 or kitkat kernels work with this rom?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SIMONEANTONIO:
Hi [MENTION=1371601]nagash91[/MENTION]. There is a new weekly miui build 6.3.5 by Rain_Bow released yesterday. Can you update your rom to new build 6.3.5? Your rom is the best and stable miui rom I've never tested and used. (sorry if I do grammatical errors)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nagash91:
I tested now on a fresh new install. It works all the 3 lock screen mode: PIN, password and pattern.

Did you remove some system apps, greenify system apps or disabled some services?

It's based on TW Kitkat 4.4.2 roms, so I think all kernels for TW kitkat 4.4.2 are ok with this rom, but before test a kernel please make a backup with recovery.

If you find some kernel that works please report to me with PM or reply to this thread, so I can put it in OP!

PS: I tested Hulk Kernel 1.2 (for tw kitkat 4.4.2), I get a bootloop..

Have you removed - freezed - greenified some system app, or have you disabled some service?

If you try to update with MIUI updater it will fail, I'll release an update for the rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Vicious89:
I only installed the rom and left everything as is. I didn't mess with any of the system apps, greenify or freeze. Ill give it a second flash and test with different kernels only and report back with any problems. Oh yeah BTW thanks!! Sorry I forgot to thank you for sharing this smooth rom earlier.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nagash91:
:) Thanks

I don't know if m919 and i9505 have some differences..

You could try to flash original Rain_Bow roms for differents s4 version:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Reznoov:
I do not use Greenify, and did not remove any app, I need to install some GAPPS?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nagash91:
No, GAPPS are included.

It's so strange that your lockscreen won't works..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SIMONEANTONIO:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nagash91:
New version: v2

Uploading new version (v2, based on 6.3.5).

I have removed some not needed samsung bloat from the rom, and included in DATA APP the Number Fixer app from market, to prevent the problem of MIUI not displaying the name of the contacts in calls.

NB: if you WIPE after the rom is installed, you will remove all data app installed by the rom, that are:

- Kernel Adiutor

- MoreLocale2

- NumberFixer

I use kitkat modem/bootloader without problems.

That will fail because I modified some of the files that are patched from the update, and the update before start generate and check an HASH function of the files to patch (MD5 or similar algorithms). That check will fail on the file that I modified and the update will fail.

I'm uploading the new version based on 6.3.5, you can test the new version if you want

I don't know why some people get bootloop. I get bootloop only if I change/remove/disable some specific system files to make some tests.

For whatsapp or similar apps, try to swipe down the app on the Recents screen to lock them in memory.

I think that if you don't lock an app in memory and you clear the memory from Recents, you will not receive the notifications from that app.

Also check the battery saver settings, there are options to clear the memory every X minutes in the battery profile, and the ability to disable sync on low battery.

After an hour of playing with this rom I can say that this is simply amazing! But I have a couple of questions. Is there any way to make chat heads ( facebook messenger ) work? Is there any way to set system language to Polish?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nagash91:
For the language, use More Locale 2 app that is included with this rom.

You can select the right language, if it's not present you can click to "Custom Locale" on the top right angle and add the correct Language code and Country code.

Don't know if all system apps have a Polish translation, but those that have, will show the language choosen by the Language/Country code selected in MoreLocale2 (perhaps the app name in launcher is "International Setting" or similar).

For chat heads I really don't know.. probably is a problem of MIUI?

I'll ask to a friend of mine that have a XIAOMI MI 3 phone with MIUI 6.3.5 installed ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nagash91:
Chat heads solved

Chat heads works!

See attachments.

Just go in Security app, permissions, Messenger, and enable the request to draw pop up
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mxrider97:
Ok, thank you very much! System translation is partial, but I don't really mind for English, so that's not that much of a problem. Chat heads work now! I'm definitely going to use this rom for a while, because until now, it works better than any other TW or AOSP rom I've ever used.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nagash91:
This rom is rain_bow based (touchwiz).

It's just like if you want to install TW Samsung ROM over a GPE ROM without wipe data!

Probably it will fail to boot.

Use titanium backup to backup not-system apps (only data apps, from market ecc..) and restore after installing this ROM with a full wipe.

you also could try to use also miui backup, but I've never used that.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nagash91:
I had that problem too with other miui roms, but I have never had google maps reboot with this rom.

I though that the problem was related to freezing some system apps or greenify.

I never had bootloop problems again..

I'm so sorry for these loop, it's also hard to find out what is the problem
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 81grzes:
@UP

For me its normal that something could go wrong when porting the rom.

I reflash rom couple time today, and I think I know why Google Maps make a bootloop

As we know MIUI has a problem with "contacts"...

Last time I click "deny" when google maps want's permision to read my contacts.

Now I spend couple minutes in Maps and nothing happened.

Everything is working so far.

I have google maps permission to read contacts active, and no bootloop!

I had google maps bootloop with standard Rain_Bow rom version 6.2.x, but never got that bootloop with spinacz100 Polish.

My ROM is more based on spinacz100's rom than Rain_Bow, and with my rom I never had a bootloop, so I don't know how to debug this..

I thought that bootloop with maps were caused by using titaniumBackup/Greenify and similar apps for system apps freezing/modification, but some people report they have the original rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 81grzes:
