Has anyone managed to get ANT+ working on the Galaxy S4 running a custom rom (I am using CM 10.2)? Samsung have added support in their 4.3 update, but I have not found any custom ROM which has implemented this support.
Hopefully it would be a case of extracting the relevant parts of the official 4.3 firmware and building a patch?

Have you found a rom with ant+ support yet?

Running PA current version. But ANT+ does not work. Do one of you guys have more information on that?
So none of custom ROMs support Ant+?

Now that both Android 4.3 has been released as an OTA update and official Kernel have been posted by Samsung, I am thinking about turning my T-Mobile S4 into the 9505G (until T-Mobile releases the firmware update). I have a few questions:
- Is it safe to install the stock 9505G ROM on the M919? Do I have to worry about basebands/modems? What about the kernel? Will the new stock kernel work?
- Where do I find the latest and purest GPE 4.3 ROM? Most stock-based ROMs here are either old (not the latest) or have been modified in one way or another? Is there a link to the source?
Thanks in advance.

Did you ever get any type of answer to this question? I am looking for the same thing. I am running a Google Edition ROM but it has a lot of tweaks that I'd rather not have. I want the closest possible thing to what you buy off the Play store.

I am currently using this (v1.2):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2352258
Aside from a few removed apps, it's probably very close to the stock ROM. I've also odexed the ROM. Great ROM overall.
There is also this ROM, which seems to be close to the stock:

Now that the official updates for the Google Edition 4.3 have been released, do any of the ROMs have 4.0 support? I can't seem to find an answer on this in any of the ROM threads.

I have two friends with their devices on 4.3 - one of them has had no issues with 4.0 being supported at all. The other runs into small issues here and there but overall is successful. Don't know what would cause this but that's what we've noticed.
Hope this helps.
Hi,
there are a lot of us out there that still use the Galaxy player (3.6, 4.0, 5.0 and 4.6(I think it is) ) if we could get some form of backport to these devices for this rom that'd be great!
also currently I am running the sultan kernel v7 for the galaxy player 5.0 and the pacman rom nightly build but would be willing to help test builds on the player 5 for Omni if need be.

I have a Player 5.0, although it's been hardbricked for over a year. I never got around to using AdamOutler's Unbrickable Mod to resurrect it - just haven't had the time.

that sucks. come to think of it. back when I was using your kernel for my device in gingerbread I remember you saying something about that!
at any rate. if you build or whatever I can test. i'm proficient enough in flashing my device that I can probably handle alpha builds of kernel and/or roms
btw I don't know if you've been following the sgp forums here or not but a guy recently released this thread outlining how to flash the player back to stock kernel and firmware while keeping it rooted even

The AOSP and cyanogen Roms which are available all of them have camera issues and other bugs. Why is it so?
Is it impossible to run AOSP on s4 i9500? If yes, then why so?
Is it because developers are slacking and just dont want to make a AOSP custom rom for s4 i9500 or there is something which limits developer from making AOSP avialable for s4 i9500. maybe samsung hasnt given tools or drivers to developers.
All the custom roms available for s4 i9500 . They all have written at the end of the thread that The rom is based on Stock firmware.
What is a firmware? Isnt it same as kernel?
Yeah I know I am total noob.

Don't panic, I can see ROMs based on AOSP here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9500-develop
I have personally never seen a i9500 so I beleive they are just not that common or shipped to countries where there is a lack of devs. How about cooking your own? I've started to develop my own ROM which I'm using right now.
Firmware is a full system
The kernel also partly firmware
The kernel is the core of android
If no kernel will not boot
Note: sorry if i am wrong
I9500 has an exynos chipset which had been looked down by Samsung. This has been the case since the Galaxy S2. AOSP Roms exist for the i9500 but they won't be the most stable things you will try, so you are better off staying with the original software or a rom based on the original software.

Developing your own ROM is cool thing. That's what I will be doing after my next month exams.. I dont actually own a s4 i9500 but my cousin has it. I have xolo a500s. It's pretty looking device. I would like to port 4.4 kitkat AOSP rom on it.. :victory:

Thanks for replying. I think you are right. Firmware = rom + kernel.

Yeah that's it. Samsung doesn't share the full source code of it's exynos chip. half of the sourcecode is closed source. They just don't give the full source code to the developers. That's why developers fail to make custom kernels and roms.
But now I wonder why do samsung do this? Maybe they dont want other phone makers to know their unique performance tweaks which they have put in sourcecode.
Lesson learnt never buy Exynos powered device. Always try to get snapdragon powered device.
Hello,
for my S8 I found after a long search a ROM called "Hades", which was a mod of Samsung firmwares. Since Lineage & Co won't support VOLTE as far as I understood, I wondered if there is something similar for this device, meaning a custom (debloated) ROM which supports VOLTE?
It doesn't need to be the newest version of Android of course.

Searching in the S10 plus threads would be your best bet But most non stock based roms do not have support for volte could be different for exynos as I am used to qualcomm
Thanks for your reply.
My searches there led so far to nothing. I guess If I give that device a try, I stay with debloating it via adb and that's it.
Maybe in this section I'll find something. But I am still missing the great picture.

I believe the One UI 5.1 ROM port is right up your alley
