use aroma and choose only what you want, I recommend installing google now launcher but telling aroma to keep the stock launcher as well.

I use stock kernal.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] esbatulembek:
How do you flash this rom with aroma??

---------- Post added at 02:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 AM ----------

Am i the only one here who have a problem when enabled permission microphone on google app after i flashed that fix zip

I mean while listening music, it just got interrupted whenever i press a button or click some apps or even when i pulled down qs.

Also google assistant does not work at all, i've only google now

And another thing which is screen overlay issue, the first time i flashed the rom i didn't get this issue but recently i got this issue. I don't know what might cause of this

Any help or hint i appreciate
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Cryptonite26:
ok well since it seems people are having issues flashing it the way I did, Here's what I did step by step.

1. Install the latest phil'z touch recovery. preferably use odin.

2. wipe phone and prepare to load new rom (both options in wipe)

3. Install Resurrection remix

4. install Gapps Aroma and choose whatever you like, be sure to include google search and google now, on the next page please be sure to choose not to remove default launcher and camera. (I use the default launcher but find issues without google now launcher installed, weird I know)

5. wipe cache and delvik cache.

6. (Optional, I did this because I do not care for root settings and want pokemon go to work) flash UnSu.zip which removes SU content (superuser)

7. (again optional) Flash the camera fix found in the download section of the OP

8. reboot the phone (if you did step six it will ask you if it should root the phone, if you want to be able to play pokemon go, choose no)

9. Once the phone is up and running, (account is set up and google assist is found not to work) reboot to recovery and flash The Latestfix.zip attached below

10. reboot the phone (again those with step 6 do not choose to reroot)

11. attempt to use google assist, only to find it not responding.

12. long press the menu hardware key (the key on the left hand side of the phone next to the home key)

13. google assist will pop up, try saying "ok google" now and it should start the ok google setup process, however if it does not click on the speaker icon next to the google search bar and try again (keep in mind it should start a setup wizard asking you to say "ok google" 3 times)

14. everything should work now, now you can say ok google inside any app and it will be able to hear you.

15. I read some rumors that IR does not work after the google assist patch is on, I have not confirmed this yet though as the IR sensor is something I barely use.

I downgraded from marshmallow to lollipop

So that means i have to flash a marshmallow modem right?

From where will i get the modem.bin file?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] esbatulembek:
Yep

Extract zip rom you just flashed

You'll find it and flash with odin
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] burhanuday:
Modem.bin files are only present in firmwares i guess

Because it isn't there in the zip file of the rom

If u can get a modem.bin file from somewhere else then please help

Hi, I'm new here so if you don't mind if I ask questions.

Is the Rom bug free? If no, what are the major bugs?

Thanks to anyone who's going to answer me! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] burhanuday:
●No voice in voip calls without using the workaround or flashing the fix

●Inbuilt camera app isnt good (recommend using open camera)

●Battery life isn't as good as it was on lollipop stock rom

●Inbuilt calculator app gives wrong answers to some problems (still don't know why)

Sir i want to say something about some useless stuff, sir we want a cleanest rom like GearCM (But RR Rom Feels more smooth then GearCM)

It should be more awesome if u throw away kernel adiutor from settings, becoz we can install it from playstore.

Problem in Whatsapp calling and Regular calls volume

In the latest build while using whatsapp calling the persons voice can't be heard until the phone is on general. When the phone is on silent the call is still active but there is no audio at all, not even the ringing sound. Also the volume for regular calls is quite low. in crowded and noisy places I am forced to use earphones just so I can hear the other person. Is there any fix that I need to flash for both these issues?

You cannot turn on battery saver before that

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] kdnmobile:
If you have used RR v 5.7.3 before, does it have this low call volume problem? It's really a problem in RR v 5.7.4
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] kdnmobile:
Can you describe how you fixed it as I had the same problem too on RR 5.7.4?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] aalxx:
AOSP-based ROMs don't have the frameworks necessary to control the IR blaster. I believe this is because Samsung isn't open source.

If you want IR blaster functionality you're going to have to get a touchwiz-based ROM which is gonna set you back to 5.0.1 (even if device info says higher, the max version for touchwiz-based ROMs for this device is 5.0.1).
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] _Jackie_:
At starting i was not able to hear other people voice. Then i turned all type of volume up and after that i was able to hear other people voice. I did that bcoz turning up incall volume was not helping.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] nsd891:
I have used 5.7.3, and yes it was a problem there as well. I updated to 5.7.4 hoping it would fix the battery life and call volume problem, but no such luck. However the battery life has improved but only so slightly. I used to get about 12 -13 hours a day on 5.7.3, now I get abt 14 - 15 hours.

Maybe there's something wrong at your end.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] aalxx:
I haven't tried peel because Galaxy Universal Remote is far superior but it might be the app. But if it isn't the app then I might consider aosp roms again.

Also does this rom also drain battery and never let the phone cool down? How's the camera quality?

It's not just number of cores. They're both called s4s but the chipset is different. You should look for roms for your own model.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] zozoz13:
- Tried Galaxy Universal Remote recently, work as expected.

- Battery life is not as good as in Touchwiz. But I can't say it's worse. Average I should say.

- Nope. The throttling is little bit agressive than in Touchwiz. But the phone always cool down quickly.

- I must say Touchwiz has much better quality in terms of camera, but it still acceptable for me.

I'm using Nevermore kernel, btw.

OK GUYS IM TIRED OF THIS. now first off. i dont like to complain so when this problem happens i usually suck it up and re flash . now guys THIS IS IT. i use the latest version of this ROM my custom kernel is lwk and everything else is kl. i i use lucky patcher and xposed. now everyday in the morning i turn off my phone and leave it for hours and then i would turn it back on and NORMALLY IT WOULD BOOT UP FINE but there are just some unlucky and annoying days like this one that even now as i type my phone is stuck ina bootloop and when i touch the capacative buttons or the screen it would vibrate until it would even stop vibrating... I HAVE TRIED TO RESTORE SYSTEM BACKUP AND BOOT BACKUP AND I EVEN ERASED DALVIK AND REMOVE MEM CARD. NOTHING WORKED. SOO i will have to reflash but guys . what is causing this madness and how is it fixed?? my phone just randomly decided to corrupt a file and not boot cuz i didnt make any changes on the phone and if i did the backup should have fixed it
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] The Joker:

Well mate..u didnt said u had restored back to"stock"

Nd i didnt faced this problem in stock kernel....

Try clean flash the rom again nd dont use the custom kernel nd then see if the problem still persists...?

It might be due to xposed or custom kernels...since xposed modifieds frameworks
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] BenDroid1:

I've been trying this ROM for over half a week and I'm loving it. The performance is great, the ram management is amazing, customization is too notch and support is as good as it gets.

The battery drain in idle is quite bad tho. On average 4%/h on deep sleep. How can it get drained so much in deep sleep? I have greenify and amplify keeping the wakelocks and alarms low but it still drains.

Anyway, not a big deal. On an unrelated note; is anyone running this ROM on f2fs? I wanna get this phone running as fast as it can and would love to know if this rom supports f2fs.

Glad to hear we are getting cm14.1 soon! When the build is stable for beta tell us so we can test it (and help you fix bugs and develop the ROM fully).
