Yes, OFF TOPIC.

I didn't ask to implement root and xposed into the rom. I asked to integrate the features of root and Xposed based on the source code.. Because you said: "Anything xposed can do can be done by modifying the source code."

If it can be done, why didn't they do it?

I'm not a gamer. But if Pokeman asks the rights to detect running tasks it will detect Magisk, too, somehow.

Yes, because XDA members can read and understand the FAQ themselfes.

For a serious developers the 1% xda members are impotant, and they don't ignore the hints of them, because a XDA member mostly is more experienced and has more ideas and knowledge than a average user.

Samsung provides only TW Roms.

I don't use custom roms, because many things doesn't work. (e.g. DRM)

The best for a Phone is the orig firmeware rom, but it must be debloated and extended with root and xposed to realize neccessary customizations.

e.g. the battery of my S2 keeps 10-14 days in standby, thanx root & exposed. And I'm missing none feature! By the default rom configurations the battery would be drained already after 2 days doing nothing.

I don't need to buy a new phone every 2 years ;) It's up to date, and somehow ahead of it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajU8k2_rXVU&list=PLsDQomNW5afQiUkSrIS7UA6qv-5TSGvLq (german only)

The only issue regarding my needs is the banking app.

But I totally agree with you: The best would be, if the developers would integrate the possibilities and features of root and exposed into the source code (like an extended developer mode). But than, there would be no need to buy a new phone every 2 years. Maybe that's the main reason why they don't do it?! ;)

I'm sorry for "every" Linus user, but the limited configuration options in Kids mode are too huge.

I could also call it "housewife mode", but I don't wand to discriminate any women.

And also I don't want to call Google the "BigFather" who has the only right to say and control what is permitted.

Are you asking for a contest? ;)

If root and exposed would proberly work on the S4 (as it does on my S2) I'm sure I would win in most categories. It's just the question which categories are priorized. And that's a question of users needs.

Anyway, I stopped customzing the S4 for mobile use, because there is even no cardock available. I found out too late :( bloody.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I answered that already and shouldn't have to repeat myself. But since you're not understanding the point here it is again. The developers do not make custom ROMs for you or me, but themselves! If you want to find out why they don't build in features found in Xposed modules however, you need to ask them. Most of them I'm sure will say they don't want or need that feature.

I'll be sure to let Google know they're not serious developers simply because they don't build Android to our standards. Really, you're just sounding ridiculous and are digging that hole of yours even deeper. Quit now while you can.

Any Touchwiz ROM will lag behind an AOSP ROM, no matter how much you debloat it or customize it with Xposed, simply because of Samsung using their own framework in addition to the system framework. That's not hyperbole, but solid fact. Adding Xposed to the mix just drags responsiveness down further.

P.S. Run Geekbench on your S4 and post the results so we can see what kind of performance you actually have.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Little Rooster:
Mr. Samsung seems to have a lot of phones. All for his own?

Regarding a Custom Rom, I already explained, why I don't want to use it.

It's bringing more headache to me, than Xposed brings to you.

Regarding a benchmark: It doesn't make sense to compare an apple with an egg.

Also I already said, that I gave up customizing the S4. It doesn't make sense to me, because of a missing CarDock.

More over this, my automation app (E-Robot) does not receive "App is in focus" and "app is running" events from the system on the S4. Maybe due to restictions of the system, or a bug. I don't know if this is fixable., and I am not going to find out.

Without recognition of these events, a proper per app automation / customisation is impossible, anyway!

I'm happy with my S2 and I guess I will stay with it some more years :)

btw. the custom rom developers surely don't make their complete system available here. They just offer the system basics. And I'm sure a lot of these developers are using root and xposed on their own custom roms.

Let's stopp now. It's becoming an off off topic.

Greetz
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Retrial:
[MENTION=7308944]Little Rooster[/MENTION] I agree with Strephon.

Root is working on this rom and I think in every other Rom, don't know why you mentioned it.

Your obsession is really remarkable. With few words Xposed gives more troubles than it solves. That's why most of the devs are not support it and ofc they don't use it.

I have to say that you are years behind. Xposed it was kinda useful in the past. Now there avaible a lot of nice customs roms for S4, based on latest android Pie (which is much more clever than Lollipop) with a lot of customizations and latest security patches. If you care about Netflix is working on these roms, and pretty much eveything and stable. Take a look here and update yourself.

I have to admit Touchwiz Roms for S4 these days, is only nice for ppl which like stock as it is, and want to debloat from crap apps of samsung and update their look of their device with the latest samsung icon pack-themes of Samsung. Nothing more.

I guess we have talked a lot about it and it is offtopic.

Peace :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Little Rooster:
??? I don't know why I have mentioned root problems, too. Did I?

My phone is from the past, too. So Xposed fits very well. I don't know any better alternative.

The functionality of my phone is still up to date regarding my needs. (exept banking app)

Pie, for S2, too?

The latest custom rom I have tried was 8.1.

The Ram was already nearly full with system basics. I couldn't run 2 app at the same time.

My Car Mode runs 7 apps at the same time on stock rom (+ all needed system and messaging backgoundservices). But therefore I must force the system to kick off the useless apps. which I don't need while driving. Android is not able to decide this in the right way.

I don't believe that pie by default would handle it better than my special targeted customisations.

Is DRM protected media generally working?

I don't use Netflix, but some other local german media apps.

Regarding the link, the first thing I see is "Call recording enabled for countries which allow it."

So this is the first restriction I find, which can maybe not be deaktivated without Xposed.

But OK, I will test the Aosp Extended Pie and see what is possible, but I doubt my task automation tool will work there ... (I've spended 2 years there in creating task chains for daily use.)

And by far I have tested around 15 custom roms, (from 4.4 to 8.1) but nothing was good and stable like my customized 4.1 stock rom.

I don't use Samsung themes. The TW launcher is uninstalled. I am using Nova.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Just to point out, I'm using the Optimized Go version and couldn't be happier. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Retrial:
"I asked to integrate the features of root" I read this before that's why I said that. If rom is not prerooted, you can root it manually by flashing Magisk or SuperSU.

If you want to stay in the past, stay in the past with the problems of the past. That's your choice :p Just saying you have the option to use the latest android version in your device with a lot of customizations without the needed of xposed.

We are on S4 forums atm so I can only talk about S4 not S2. Give a try and I am sure if stock can handle your needs, Pie JDC Roms can too. Are well optimized.

I am not 100% sure about german media apps but you should try and see.

? I don't get what you mean. If you country allows call recording good, otherwise you may have troubles?

AEX is very nice Rom. It's my 2nd favourite.

If I understand well you want to use a Tasker? Why u don't use Tasker app by joaomgcd from Playstore? It should work fine.

---------- Post added at 22:55 ---------- Previous post was at 22:53 ----------

Optmized GO is very nice. Lightweight and pure :good:

Personally I use Optimized LOS and switching from time to time to AEX. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Little Rooster:
You missunderstood "the

FEATURES

of root and Xposed". I mentioned this, because Strephon mentioned that these features can be done by modifying the source code, without Xposed.

I didn't have a problem with rooting. The only problem is installing the systemless Xposed. It doesn't work.

Meanwhile I have tested the Pie rom a little bit. Looks good. Maybe the best CR I have tested so far. And indeed, some of the most important Xposed features are integrated. I can understand in this case Xposed is a little dispensable.

Most commands of my automation tool (E-Robot) are also working, but not the accessibility service, which is needed e.g. to detect notifications and react to them.

Other issues:

Driving mode does't switch on (maybe not available in CR?)

HDMI output doesn't work. Neither audio nor video

BT doesn't turn on proberly (doesn't find any devices).

no call recording

Can't hide the SD Card notification, and

can't hide certain notifications of an app. (could be solved via Xposed)

This is only what I found out in first 2 hours of testing.

I don't know by now if there is a fix or a workaround for these issues, but I will keep this rom in mind when I find another newer phone with a cardock available.

Until then I will stay with my S2, which is absolutely stable and runs without any problems with Xposed features (some more special ones than the pie rom provides).

At all, this is not a question of past or future, it's a question of which alternative works better on the phone and for the needs of the user.

Anyway, and as already mentioned, the S4 can not replace my S2, because there is no cardock available for the S4. Only phone holders, what is a big difference to a dock.

So it doesn't make sense for me to search for fixes or wokarounds for the S4 problems.

re: "I am not 100% sure about german media apps but you should try and see."

I'm amazed. It works.

re: "If you country allows call recording good, otherwise you may have troubles?"

Not generally allowed, but no troubles. The caller must agree to the recording. Silent recording is not allowed, and it is not acceped for judicial proof if the caller does not agree to the record.

re: "If I understand well you want to use a Tasker? Why u don't use Tasker app by joaomgcd from Playstore? It should work fine."

Do you know E-Robot?

It's free, and very lightware. In my opinion much better than Tasker. No need for plugins and extensions.

On my S2 I have solved nearly every problem with a E-Robot workaround, and I created commands which substitutes many apps and features of newer android versions.

Unfortunately this app is absolutely underrated and I think that is the reason why the developer has stopped updatig this great tool.

You must watch out for v1.47 It's with SMS events, e.g. to locate your phone, even when internet is off.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Feardarks:
Hi ! is mhl cable working? thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Retrial:
I guess you need to enable the app in the accessibility services?

For notifications swipe to dismiss them, and if you want to hide a notification long press on it and you will find an option to hide it.

BT seems to work fine here but it will take one more fix in the next update of the Rom.

As for the other problems you mentioned since it's not the proper thread to talk about, go the rom thread you use, I guess AEX and post your problems here.

I guess you are not familiar yet with recent versions of Android. Since you are using S2 as your main device which I don't understand why...but ok...let on your S4 the Rom you are now and play with it to discover the features.

I don't understand, this is not a logical reason to use a much older device. You can find similar products from Ebay, Amazon etc.

Anyway as I said and above let's talk in the proper threads. Here or in the proper Rom thread u currently use.

It is offtopic, we should not continue here.

Cheers :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Little Rooster:
The rights for accessibility service doesn't work properly.

My automation app (E-Robot) is always kicked off after some minutes.

Not possible to disable for system app like "System UI." E.g. "SD Card inserted" shows up ongoing. Not possible to disable it. That's a pretty senseless waste of space. (ps: suddenly it's possible to delete the SD Card notification. strange.)

For other apps with mulible different notifications, I just found the possibility to disable them all, but i didn't find the possibility to hide only certain ongoing notifications of the app.

List enhanced: / Missing features:

1. Hide certain (not all) notifications off an app (it is possible with Xposed GravityBox and very useful for senseless ongoing notifications)

2. A shortcut to kill/force-stopp an app (it is possible with Xposed Edge and very useful for automation with E-Robot, or other tasker apps)

-These 2 issues make Xposed indispensable for me

3. Start App from icon in "App Info Screen"(possible with Xposed modul)

4. Playstore link in "App Info" (possible with Xposed modul)

5. File Browser: no file size informations

No. You can find phone holders for the S4, but not a car dock.

Here you can see my car dock for the S2 in driving mode:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce_KqPzI0fA&t=7s

A car dock has USB / Power connection, analog audio connector, and it starts the driving mode when the phone is inserted. Not available for the S4.

I think I have already mentioned a lot of reasons why I prefer the S2.

The S2 has none of the S4 problems. Everthing runs smooth.

No HDMI and no Cardock is already enough reason.

And the missing possibility of accessibilty service for E-Robot is on top.

Without this service lots of my 72 E-Robot automation commands doesn't work. E.g. the posted driving mode, among many others. I would need around 3 minutes to start the driving mode setup manualy.

I would be faster on foot ;)

btw. the screen of the S2 is much brighter and clearer.

Why should I replace my well working S2 with the S4 wich has so many shortcomings??

It is amazing how an older device with a very old OS can have so many advantages compared to a newer device with a recent OS, isn't it?! ;)

OK, I will compile my list now and post it in the rom thread.

I will give it a try and some time to see if the problems can be fixed …

;)

Screen problem

I have abit of a problem i cant lie on the bed and watch a movie on chrome cause the screen rotation makes the screen go into portrait everytime the phone is kept at a landscape angle on the bed it goes into portrait and it happens on both sides it as in the charging port and the headphone jack port basically on any application such as youtube the phone screen flips upside down when you hold the phone upside down how do you stop this from happening just cause i flip the phone upside down i dont want the screen also to flip upside down is there any way of editing the build.prop to fix this problem or any other way

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

HANDS DOWN THE BEST ROM I FLASHED ON MY S4 DOESNT HAVE A SINGLE PROBLEM APART FROM THIS ONE
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Not a ROM problem: creating a thread in Q and A would have been more appropriate. Anyway, apps in the Play Store exist to control rotation on a per app basis. One of them should resolve your issue.

P. S. Your post was hard to read due to not using capital letters at the start of sentences and not using punctuation at the end of them. If you don't want your posts to be ignored by others in the future you might want to invest a bit more effort in using them. Because it's not just what you have to say, but how you say it that matters.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] v00d007:
This rom is really nice, but it's also very choosey with kernels. As I was unhappy with the working stock kernel QK1 (selinux strikt/enforced), I tested various combinations of bootloaders/modems/kernels. But either wi-fi didn't work or the sim card wasn't detected. So, as shown in the screenshot, the combination of XXUHPK2 bootloader/modem with Imperium kernel v5.8 was a match.

Statusbar shows signal on the right and working wi-fi on the left. Job done.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Retrial:
SuperTouchWiz ROM uses Stock Kernel and to have your WiFi working you need to have the same Bootloader/Modem as your Firmware (ROM). For example if you use QK1 Firmware (ROM) you need to have also QK1 Bootloader & Modem. You can find everything you need in my S4 Unified Collection & Guides.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] v00d007:
I knew that already. But as I stated I was unhappy with the stock kernel... just read what I wrote.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Retrial:
I read what you wrote and I simply answered to this "But either wi-fi didn't work or the sim card wasn't detected" since you involved bootloaders and modems.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] v00d007:
I posted this because there were some users who wanted to use a custom kernel, like me. Your replies are somehow obsolete, sorry.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Retrial:
I feel your irony but no worries, some respect to the people who contributed for creation of this ROM and trying to also help, would be appreciated tho.

Everything is explained in OP. The meaning of your post is not well explained that's why I gave a general answer since you involved bootloaders & modems based on your words "But either wi-fi didn't work or the sim card wasn't detected". You could just say Imperium kernel with PK2 works well in this ROM.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the ROM.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] v00d007:
As I already stated, the rom's really nice. There's just one little thing though that bathers me: the auto brightness. Indoors it's way too dark, even with the slider at +10. You posted sometime ago that in a previous version you reduced the brightness levels for better battery. Could you revert this and give me the "uncut" version? I'm not sure where this function is located. SystemUI, framework? Running latest v9 and would appreciate a fix for full brightness in auto mode. That would be great.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lenny Bard:
I don't remember very well but maybe I've followed a guide to fix something with auto brightness..

If this "fix" is the cause, it's located in services.jar (in framework folder).

I've made others modifications to this file, so the stock version could produce some bugs..

I will look at it and make some tests ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lenny Bard:
You can download the stock services.jar here

I made some test a found no major bugs.

Tell me if it's improve auto brightness for you because I see no big difference..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] v00d007:
Thanks for your efforts. The only change I notice is that the zero marker is gone. The brightness level at auto and +10 is still the same and unusable for me. So I still have to set my prefered brightness manually (or let "lux" do the job, which has some issues/bad side effects).
