Telstra

Some rom's do support telstra, eg crc's 6.1.

You can "add" the telstra 3g bands manually however to any rom i believe, as I do, eg on tnt's rom I needed to add.

You then need to use the telstra proxy to access the sites etc(my place and such), BUT depending on what you want to do you may need to switch it on/off, very easy to do anyway.

Search for telstra 3g and you will find all info, otherwise use this: Telstra settings for 3g

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi all, been down the same road with 3g Telstra.

There is a fix to set up all settings etc fairly easy when flashing with wm6.

1. do your flash...

2. need to edit the bands to allow our phone to use Telstra's frequencys

(see below)

3. run Telstra's own setup cab that they use in the original imate ext_rom

4. just go into settings/phone/band...select "auto" on network type

select "GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(850)"

thats about it

Works for me everytime I've flashed, get wap when its out of range for 3g and get telstra internet 3g every other time

E=Edge average, 3g=Umts=H on connections

notes:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Telstra "odd" bands (must do some reg exports for next time, and to share), use a reg editor like resco's etc

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

(taken from XDA site) if anyone else needs them, This Registry patch works for the Hermes.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\BandT ype]

"ItemCount"=dword:00000006

"ItemName1"="Auto"

"ItemName2"="GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)"

"ItemName3"="GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)"

"ItemName4"="UMTS(2100+800)"

"ItemName5"="GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100+850)"

"ItemName6"="GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(850)"

"ItemValue1"=dword:00000000

"ItemValue2"=dword:00000001

"ItemValue3"=dword:00000002

"ItemValue4"=dword:00000003

"ItemValue5"=dword:00000004

"ItemValue6"=dword:00000005

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\UMTS\BandSelection]

"Band"=dword:00000005

You really just need to add ItemName5 and 6, and ItemValue5 and 6, and change the ItemCount from 4 to 6 (as you added two options) using your favorite Registry Editor.

Do a soft reboot of the phone. Now you can select the NextG option GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(850)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. copy the telstra cab onto your phone then run, this sets up the Telstra Wap and Teletra Internet connection, as well as the proxy manager.

It does load some other junk onto the system like telstra bussiness etc , but this is easy to delete or move to another start menu group.

sometimes when setting up email accounts and such you may have to fiddle with the programmes "connect with " network setting and point it to :telstra internet or as in my case use "work" connection.

hope this helps

you only need the reg fix (if not already enabled) then choose the band then load in the gprs/3g modem settings and the proxy.

that telstra cab loads a tsk and sets the home page to the old wap site, the proxy manager is kind of cute if you are too lazy to load the proxy back in although the only thing you need the proxy for is to use whereis and some of the other crap telstra services.

The proxy will just slow down msn and general internet use.

RE:

hey guys, sorry I haven't replied until now, I've been fairly busy with work and the family.

OK Lets say I wanted to cook up a rom myself. Where can I find a clean wm6.1 rom and a kitchen to cook it in? I would have already probably cooked up a rom myself by now but it's hard to find a nice clean ROM and kitchen to use.

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] TheAkshay02:
I've used most of the gcams including Arnova's V8 and all the other ones and even new ones for pixel 3. Gcam works fine on my zenfone (6gb ram) but most of the time the shutter button turns grey and freezes. This is not for a particular gcam, it happens in all gcams.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] DhamankarTejas:
Same here.. Happens with me too..

I usually kill it and start again..

Sometime it works some time doesn't..

So I've got backup camera options:

Asus' preloaded & Asus' Sideloaded One (apkmirror Asus camera 5.x.xx)
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] TheAkshay02:
You mean PixelMaster cam?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] MPK99:
Yes, I'm gonna explain this problem & solution in detail here.

This happens only on Potrait mode.

The quick solution to this is.... After you open GCam, change the camera from "rear to front", then again to rear. Then the button Freeze won't happen.

This is some sort of Bug. Because Gcams are ported version of Google based smartphones. Using them on non google based smartphones will obviously cause such minor software bugs...
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] DhamankarTejas:
yes pixel master

But it has very verry few options

Just check on APK mirror
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] TheAkshay02:

Installation

​

Required for installation:

Recovery - Latest version of TWRP - 3.2.3-0

If you require a LOKI-patched version of TWRP, try this version patched by [MENTION=4062149]mattgyver[/MENTION].

Firmware - Lollipop supporting bootloader and modem / non-hlos. Look in _Bon_Bon's great MODEMS and BOOTLOADERS collection​

The following are "best practice" recommendations for installation, you may be successful using your own routine.

1st install

- " clean install "

Make a full nandroid backup <always backup!>.

** OPTIONAL Properly remove previous root solution (recommended - flash Magisk uninstaller and UnSU). **

Fully wipe device (At least system, cache, dalvik and data. Recommended - fully clean by wiping internal and external SD).

Make sure your partitions are formatted as EXT4. Do not use F2FS on pie.

Install Rom.

DO NOT Wipe cache and art / dalvik (rom is partially pre-deodexed).

Reboot.

Wait for 1st boot.

Run through Gapps setup.

** OPTIONAL Reboot back in to TWRP.

** OPTIONAL Install desired root solution (recommended - Magisk).

** OPTIONAL Do not clear caches, boot back into Android.

Enjoy.

2nd and subsequent installs

- " dirty flash "

** OPTIONAL Uninstall all Substratum overlays **

Make a full nandroid backup <always backup!>.

Properly remove previous root solution (recommended - flash Magisk uninstaller and UnSU).

Wipe system, cache and art / dalvik (wiping system is ESSENTIAL for Magisk).

Install Rom.

Install desired root solution. (recommended - Magisk).

DO NOT wipe cache and art / dalvik (rom is partially pre-deodexed).

Reboot.

Wait for app optimisation.

Enjoy.

While dirty flashing may be possible for some updates, be prepared that progress means you will occasionally need to clean install updates (usually when settings files are changed)!

Nandroid backups are your friend!​

Current issues

Release 12

​

This rom is as close as you will get to a stock Google Pixel style phone.

It is an unofficial version of Pixel Experience, so only report issues to this XDA thread, not Pixel Experience team.

Release 12 has even more @side OptLos super smooth speed optimisations applied…. - It's super smooth!.

Installs about 1.3 gb in system including gapps (** so WILL NOT WORK on i9505g / google version **)

System folder is re-sized to full 2.7gb.

Unified rom so should work on all S4 variants APART FROM i9505g DUE TO SIZE.

Remember this is an almost stock google pixel rom!

Gapps is already pre-installed and mandatory

DO NOT attempt to manually install any gapps package over the top, you will break it.

Don't work

MHL video (? we think ?)

Does work

Miracast / casting.

BT calling.

SE Linux is set as permissive.

Wifi is much improved.

Hotspot working.

GPS is great.

Make sure your partitions are formatted as EXT4. Do not use F2FS on pie.

CDMA phones work??

Magisk 19.3 works fine.

Magisk sound mods appear to work e.g. ViperFX.

Substratum works fine.

Sound changes may mean older sound mods no longer work.

The google sound app may crash, update to version 2.1.

This rom will not work / will never work on i9515, i9500 and i9506 variants of S4.

Reporting bugs

​

Proper reporting of issues will help me spend time productively fixing bugs rather than tail chasing vague issues.

Please follow these guidelines.

Reporting bugs

If you wish to report an issue, then the onus is on you to prove the issue.

If you provide exact replication instructions, an idea of how often the issue occurs and logs that enable me to replicate the issue then a fix will be possible ("if you do action 1 then action 2 then action 3 you will find that bug X occurs 100% of the time").

If you give a vague complaint about an issue then I will not look at it without explicit replication instructions and preferably logs ("phone overheats when using game XYZ").

Issues about overheating, battery life or performance should be backed up with information from relevant monitoring apps.

One-off issues generally do not get investigated unless they are well documented and have provided logs.

Issues that are specific to one piece of software will generally not get investigated without logs. I am not very keen on installing software to investigate bugs, especially if I need to create user accounts. If you can replicate the issue on more than one piece of software it will increase the chance of being fixed.

Issues to do with speaker or microphone related issues need to be explicit about which speaker and mic is in use (internal, head phones, earphones, bluetooth headset, Bluetooth speakers), whether normal earpiece or hands free mode is in use, Audio mods that have been installed. Logs may be helpful too.

Issues with media / streaming / playback should be provided with examples.

A picture is worth a thousand words; a movie is thousands of pictures. If you cannot describe your problem in words, post pictures or movies to help show your issue. The rom has in-built screen capture and screen recording tools, so please use them.

It can often be difficult to tell what is going on with logs from a fully loaded system. It can help if you make a nandroid of your current system, format and then make a clean install, with gapps only if needed, and only the app that causes the issue - as minimal a system for replication as possible - then replicate the bug and capture logs. If I then have to replicate the issue I can easily replicate your system.

If you want to send logs for a bug, I would like you to use Syslog.

Perform some of the functionality that is bugged and then capture logs in the app.

If you have had a reboot then capture a set of logs immediately when the system reboots. If the last-kmsg file is empty then the logs are useless.

Type a brief description of the problem in the notes field and your XDA username .

Select to scrub personal information.

Upload it to a web based host (gdrive, dropbox, etc.) and PM the link to me.

And remember:

The Drill

I was looking for a lot this rom, thanks to the developers.

Inconveniences: at the first power-up, my device became excessively hot to the point of burning the screen, and turned off only.

Remove the battery, and let it cool for 10 minutes, now it seems to work normal.

Still this I am a user of this type of ROM (pixel experience) on all my devices with twrp installed.

You can switch between gestures or hardware buttons. But not both at once.

Edit

Just tested and ROM defaults to pie gestures / pie home button, as intended.

You can disable swipe up on home button to get the old style smartbar.

And you can disable on screen nav bar to use buttons.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ibiza690:
Not using gestures

Hi, thanks for replying ;)

The point it´s that in all past versions, the phisical menus of the phone worked too, I mean those plus the ones from android pie. So when pressing the home button at the phone or the menu button at it´s right, or the back button at its left, all they worked. Now with android pie, the menu button is unexistent, so at many app the menu button for example is needed, the one at the left of the phone phisical buttons and the big button on the middle is always used for other things. With this 2 last updated you turned off those buttons and all things we could do before, can´t do them now at all. So, I was asking, as those buttons where active at the past versions, why where them deactivated in this last updated. Really, they are needed and there isn´t a way for activating them unless you do it from your side.

Resuming Buff, those buttons where activated, plus the android home buttons too and everything was more than fine, was excellent, now without those buttons the experience is returned terrible. This is why I took the decision or dare to bother you and request to please have those buttons back again.

Thanks for underestanding and hopefully you can help as daily functions for many things is terrible and in the past was awesome.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ibiza690:
Sorry, I forgot yesterday, other problem with phisical home buttons at our samsung s4 not working anymore it´s that for turning screen on it´s that you have to press at right hand side button for this now and that button gives many problems at our samsungs s4, it usually breaks and you have to send it to repair. This is why I really needed to have those buttons back, as they where in past versions PLEASE, PLEASE!

And about his "You can switch between gestures or hardware buttons. But not both at once."

I tryed and it´s not working, phisical home buttons and their lights are dead completly. There isn´t a way for returning them back to work again.

Please, turn those options back again, it would be really appreciated. Thank you.

Good evening developers. I want to inform you that this version is showing low performance in games. examples: mobile legends and Free fire. in the previous version I played with the graphics in the middle and without lag. in this version is catching a lot.

Unfortunately i have another (probably) bug - as was in v8.

Then i flash (clean), there is no way no restoresettings and apps from the cloud. I can select an backup, but when i must confirm my old screen lock, the app says: something went wrong. try again later

This was also the case in v8 and is now in v9.

I also tried to flash AIXP, and there it works with no problem.

Thanks for this OS. I upgraded from stock lollipop and now I'm just loving my phone, it feels New to me ?

The only thing I've noticed with the OS is that my phone trips off randomly when my battery is below 30% . I can live with that but I'm also suspecting it could be my battery so I'll be buying one tomorrow and I hope that's the case. Thanks again for the stable release.

Yes and yes.

Unfortunately it was broken for a couple of weeks so didn't get a July update with the rest. But i cured the problem and there is currently a beta available in slack from 30th July.

I wasn't going to release an intermediate before the August security updates arrive.

PE is currently undergoing changes, to remove some of the extra tweaks they added a couple of months back to return it to a more stock pixel feel. Which is a good thing in my opinion.

it's not really a bug, more as removed and needs re-implemented again; same for all Pie roms.
