[Noob Time] Why FLash To CM 10.1 ?

Good Evening Dudes
I'm just introduced on this section and it's first time than i ve had a stuff like this awesome samsung
Smooth Fast Strong And God ! it's the beautifull customisable stock rom (it's really beautifull to compare with htc stock rom)
well the question is not here and the target also
i've never had the oppotunitities to try a CM 10.1 on any device Htc desire x hasnt official CM and not possible to port CM10.1 cauz Htc doesnt provide the kernel source.... damn
(it's was juste for put in situation)
What's the real interest -Gain can i expect with the CM10.1 on the Galaxy S4 ?
Whith this rom it's sound interesting to put a custom kernel also.
what can we do with cm 10.1 than we cannot with a stock rom ?
Yeah a know , i can make a backup on my stock rom , flash the cm 10.1 try and if doesnt like it restore to the backuped stock.
Thanks for your time
If you had any other suggestion better than the CM 10.1 (i know it s on nightlies sound like equal as alpha but
topic is open :s
Well the Stock ROM is pretty much as bloated as a whale. CM is only 200MB in size, so first of all it will save space on your internal memory. Second of all, you won't have a lot of processes running in the background like you do now, your phone will be a LOT more responsive. Ofcourse, as with any custom ROM, there will be some bugs and those ROMs will need testing and updates (that's why nightlies exist). But eventually there will be stable versions and imo, it'll beat the stock any day. On the other hand, the stock ROM has some functions like the IR blaster, the smart-pause, smart-scroll and hover function, etc. If you're a big fan of those things, stick with your Stock ROM. But if you would like to a clean, simple, bloat free and faster experience than you have now, a custom ROM is a great way to achieve it. But that's not the only thing ofcourse, CM also has some extra functions and customization options you won't find in your stock ROM, you can tweak your system quite a lot and there are some things I couldn't live without (for example swapping your menu key for your recent apps switcher, and putting the menu function on the long press ).
Thanks a lot
Sound really interesting
CM 10.1 it's more in touch with i'm looking for
The actual build of CM 10.1 can be used on a basic day usage ? or it's better to wait a few days ?
If i flash the cm now ? need also to flash another kernel or just flash the zip by philw touch recovery ?
can i come back to my stock backuped rom after if i want ? with the restore function of philz touch recovery ?
I'm using Philz Recovery too and yes you can flash CM10.1 from there (I have the latest build from June 12th on it). Before you flash, make your sure you wipe/factory reset your phone in Philz Recovery. You might also need to flash the CM10.1 rom 2 or 3 times (the second time it usually works), on the first try it always gives a Status 7 error (don't worry). Look at the thread for the Offical CM10.1 Nightlies, there's a lot information there!
It's working pretty good for me, I haven't found any major bugs so far. Just make sure you make a Nandroid backup in Philz Recovery first (and store it your external SD card for safety and to save space ofcourse ). You can always return to that backup through the restore function in Philz Recovery yes.
Also, if you update your CM10.1 with a new nightly build (for example next week, or next month), do it manually and flash it in the recovery each time. Updating it from the Settings->About->Cyanogenmod Updates menu bricked my phone today, so I guess there is still a bug there. Besides that, there are no issues what so ever according to me.
PS: You're from Liege? I'm from Genk
last question before the first try
With the original Cm we need to flash gapps separately or it's inside the rom ?
If external suppose to take the last release on goo
If I remember correctly you need to flash it separately
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Try This one -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296266
Yeah after flash the rom 4 times finally she install correctly ( 3 times error7 but no affraid)
Ui is clear, phone running smooth and very well no issue with wifi or 3g
The first bug i ve seen was about the carrier name -- the carrier name is showed like an id on a database (think the code for showed the cells with carrier name is not correct)
For the rest no speciq issue detected
Thanks a lot for your help

@disturbed : i ll try the rom linked this evening . Thanks a lot

[Q] ROM confussion S4 GT-I9505

Hi all.
I've rooted my phone and now want to install another ROM on it but am unsure as to what is safe to use. I have attached a screen shot showing the hardware specs of my phone. What confuses me is that the processor is different to some of the others used in the I9505. Am I ok to use something like the cyanogen mod for the i9505 LTE?
My recovery menu is also different to what I have found in flashing guides. I have attached the pic with that as well.
Any help that anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dean.
Anyone at all?
I'm new here so don't fully take my word for it...
But your specs seem normal. I have the same processor, and had the same stock recovery menu as you. Idk about cyanogen mod but I've flashed several TW based roms built for the i9505 and it's been fine. I'm pretty sure you'd be sweet using something made for the i9505.

[Q][L5 II] Touchscreen not working after flashing ROMs

I have an L5 II E615(f) rooted. Last 2 days I tried to flash another rom for the first time.
So, I got latest CWM installed using ROM Manager and tried to flash this ROM:
[L5][E610/E612/E617][ROM][KOT49H][4.4.2][BETA 2] Pure AOSP KITKAT 4.4.2
Followed all the instructions properly, I put the ROM in external SD card, did factory reset, and wiped all caches, then flash the ROM and GApps. After the reboot, I got inside the new ROM but my touchscreen isn't working at all, but the volume and power button works.
Tried this ROM too (I entered the recovery mode by taking the battery off and put it back on, pressed power+volume down > and pressed 'back' button) [L5][E610/E612/E617][ROM][KTU84P][4.4.4][BETA 9.4] Unofficial CyanogenMod 11 Build , still not working. So I thought it's because the ROM doesn't support E615 ([L5][E610/E612/E617]) So I tried to install other ROMs:
[L5][ROM][4.4.4][AOSP] Vanir weeklies, Fast and smooth
[L5/L7][4.4.4][KTU84P][FINAL]Unofficial Paranoid Android 4.4 rom build by Cr3pT
They don't mention the exact type of the phone, but none are working still. Now I'm stuck with the first ROM forever in the lockscreen LOL. I'm pretty sure I followed the instructions properly.
Where's the problem? is it the ROM or another things? Or maybe can you suggest me some ROMs that might work with my device? I really want 4.4.x ROMs though Your helps are all appreciated. Thank you very much!!
Tried to flash
[L5][L7][UNOFFICIAL]SlimKat[OPTIMA TEAM][4.4.4] and CM 10 for E610
still same problem, touch screen not working. Someone please tell me what ROM should i use :crying:
You have installed a L5 E610/E612 ROM on L5 E615 which is dual sim?
Try a ROM meant for E615, like BhekBhek and check if touch works there..
Also, do you have sim card inserted? Because for me, despite having E612, touch didn't work without sim..

Yes, I installed the ROM, only touchscreen not working. Those ROMs for E615 still have 'ugly' animation I think I'll use it temporary because my phone's been disabled for the last 2 days haha.
And yeah, I had my sim card inserted.

Replacing some files might help too..
Use porting guide by Caliban (in general section) (Guide is for porting from P700 to E610) .. There there will be some files listed, replace those files with a ROM designed for E615.. Hopefully should work..
Battery will be (most probably) pathetic though, you need a E615 kernel ..

That would be really cool, I can't find the guide though, and if it's really complicated I won't be able to do that because I'm still a beginner haha. Maybe I should wait for another months for someone to do it. For now I'll try this one
Looks cool, too bad it's discontinued. Wanted to try BhekBhek but the download link is broken (or is it me?). I'm really obsessed of KitKat's UI though :silly:
Another Topic
Another thing, does anyone know how to hide SIM 2 icon and/or tint them to white? Because they look ugly when I'm using Tinted Status Bar, thanks.
Here this is the guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428797
Let me know the result
Replace the files mentioned there with the ones from a E615
Hopefully should work, good luck!

Get proper sound on all 5x-6x roms

Hi i found this mod and it´s excellent, very crisp and clear.
I used it on many roms 5x-6x etc always working and never gave bootloop.
Maxaudio is okay, but nut nearly what our device is cable of performing.
Made by this brilliant dude worstenbrod here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-dolby-atmos-t3109446
Just flash dap_r6.5 zip in twrp
Can anyone confirm if the sound is better?
Can it be flashed with FlashFire (without custom recovery)?
If you get it working (don't forget to backup ROM) for sure you will get a great improvement.
In my G2 I had a couple of sound MOD that I was not able to live without is what I miss most on my G4.
I will unlock my G4 and try if it works. The MOD is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-beatsaudio-e-xloud-installer-t3029951

S4 restarts when slightly moved after flashing rom

Hey guys,
I'm new to these forums. Therefore, I've been using a lot of your answers to other people as solutions and tutorials.
I have just install my s6 port on my GS4. My I337M will work fine only if it stable. In other words, if I move it, it's making a quick restart and it's just with the rom installed.
I have tried getting back to stock rom and it didn't have this problem. The thing is that I really like what how Albe95's ROM changes my phone. It's awful and I can't enjoy it completly.
Hope you guys have something.
