4.4 gpe rom ported to i9505 bugs - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi so far after using the gpe rom i've noticed that the IR blaster isn't working and yes i'm aware watch on will only work with TW framework in place, IR remote is reporting i have no IR blaster!
the camera seems to force close a lot especially if you swipe from lock!
No widgets?
not sure if this has been started elsewhere and many thanks for your hard work @janjan

Im having IR problems too. using Jamal2367's 4.4.
In Jamal2367's 4.3 it worked.
Not sure if its an android 4.4 bug, we'll have to wait for 4.4.x to find out.

It does not work on SlimKat Alpha 1.1 from my testing, including a full wipe afterwards as well as cache/dalvik only, tried twice as well.
If it works on houstonn's AOSP, it will probably work on his PA as well but I haven't tested that just yet.
I'm going to try to manually do it and report.
I have a Sprint HTC One running the latest CM11 build by "kushdeck" and just flashed the deodexed version. Following your steps provided all works flawlessly. Thanks so much for making this available to everyone.

Thanks you for the reports so far. Glad it works (for most of you).

Community,
As great as the custom ROMs are for the N5 on Kit Kat, the Google Dialer differs from the AOSP one included in many ROMs in certain aspects:
- uses the "old" 4.3 Phone Icon
- Misses the local search from your dialer app.
In order to help, I have put together 2 versions of the dialer, the teleservices (for phone) and the telephony provider.
Deodexed Version: Included all 3 apps deodexed (dialer, teleservices, telephony provider)
Odexed: Version; Contains APK and .odex files for the 3 apps
GAPPS uploaders are considering whether the Dialer is universal and may include it in their GAPPS in the neat future, for now, we need a seperate flashable zip.
Installation Change the dialer only: (ALWAYS make a backup before you test)
1. Depeding on your ROM, download the ODEX or DEODEX version. I highly recommend the odexed version, that is the one I use currently.
2. Install in recovery.
3. Clear cache/dalvik-cache
4. Reboot
NOTE: Depending on the ROM, you may see a f/c when booting from the com.android.phone apk. If that happens, you may need to WIPE your device and reboot. I have not understood yet why some roms have issues, and others do not. I just recently tested with a dirty wipe from CM11 to another AOSP rom, flashed the ROM, installed the Dialer-mod and it all works fine.

Now I am flashing it on my Nexus S.
OK. Works well.
THX!
sadly no lucky on s4 cm11
Successfully running in latest slimkat release following the notes instructions in the OP. Just curious if I will be able to dirty flash with next slim release. Thanks for this as I like this feature.
Just noticed that BANKS gaaps now include this as well. If mine doesn't work maybe his will help you guys that can't get mine to work.

That is just yours. And I changed the TeleService icon. I don't like an 4.3 icon in 4.4, even though it can't be seen in Google Home.

The TeleService.apk in BANKS gapps is the same as yours. If yours doesn't work, his doesn't, either.
Gotcha. The only thing he does differently is not deleting the aosp dialer.. Which means no FCS for people that had them before. Both banks and I are trying to figure you why it works on most Roms and some others require both dialers...
Sorry not working for Note 2, DND 3 custom os.

TeleService.apk (com.android.phone) (I will write TS for short.) is the most important apk.
When a call comes, TS in AOSP wakes up Dialer to show the answer button and interface, while TS in Nexus 5 wakes up Google Dialer.
So if the TS points to Google Dialer and works without FC, all the problems are resolved.
If we find that it doesn't work in some ROMs, that means the ROM requires a different TS.

true - however, given that my and his script replace the TS from AOSP with the Google TS -> it should, in theory, not matter which ROM. UNLESS there is a lib or something similar that calls a specific TS to work only....

Sorry you wouldn't be able to on aosp roms as you need to run touchwiz framework for Samsung apps to work

Sorry to revive an old thread, but would it be possible to get SPlanner to work on the Google Edition of AOSP that is built for Verizon? I know that the WatchON app works with this Developers Edition.

Watchon works on most roms as it only needs to use the infrared not the framework & splanner was designed in conjunction with touchwiz ? Google Edition doesn't use touchwiz so splanner will not work without it

Thanks! I thought that the IR Blaster didn't work with any ROM because Samsung closed the drivers for it.
This was taken straight from the GE AOSP thread:
This is the latest build for the I9505-G Google Edition S4 official from Google/Samsung, I have made quite a few optimizations to the ROM and added the tools necessary to give it the features (100% working features that is) of an AOSP ROM, Google edition does not use open source proprietary which mean's Bluetooth, and most importantly the camera will work way better out of the box since Samsung builds this ROM (Full HDR support, 1080p video recording, no green lines on the front cam)

I figured since Samsung built in the drivers for a lot of things that it would work.

You can use watchon on most roms although you may need the generic peel.apk of watchon to work on all other versions
In regards of Google Edition rom it doesn't have the same features just that it's been optimised to work on s4, so it's a purer version of Android without Sammy bloatware therefore you won't get bloatware to work as it doesn't have the required libs/framework

Stock Google but with some TouchWiz features?

Hi guys, i am an owner of a GS4 GT-i9505.
At the moment i use the ShoStock ROM 4.4.3 wich is TouchWiz based.
I would like a pure stock android ROM that supports the S-View feature that actually works on calls and the WatchON app.
Those are the only 2 features i most use from TouchWiz.
Any stock android roms that support those 2?
Thanks in advance.
The S-view cover should work on all Google Play based ROMs for the i9505, though, not sure how well. As for WatchOn it should be enough to install the APK to get it working.
EDIT: it seems that the S-view cover works just the same way on Google Edition ROMs as it does on TouchWiz.

Thus, any of these ROMs will do:

or

And WatchOn can thereafter be installed from here:

Well i am asking for the Sview cover because i had a google play edition and it didn't work. If you click the 2nd link you gave me, on the info it says that Sview cover is not supported.
Hm, I see. I assumed that it would be included in all Google Play Edition ROMs, but it does seem like the 2nd ROM is indeed missing this. That said, users of Danvdh's GPE ROM are reporting that S-View functionality should be "working", though there's no clear answer if it actually works with calls in the latest release.

[Q] IR Blaster not working with CM11

When I installed CM11 my phone's IR blaster stopped working. At the past, when I had C-Rom installed which is cyanogenmod based, it worked. Where can I found the drivers and flash them? If C-Rom developers did the trick then for sure the drivers could be found somehow!

You can't just flash drivers on a phone unless it's given.
They're coded into the kernel and in the ROM, associated with possibly hundreds of lines of commits.

Samsung Camera on Lineage OS 16

Ay hello guys, is there any way to install Samsung's stock camera on AOSP? I'm at LOS 16.1, and native camera sucks. I've already installed GCam, but I want the stock app too

This Is not possible, you can't never use stock camera in aosp rom, you can use footej camera , i'm using It on pixel experience and is very very good app

Yeah it's possible. It only needs the framework from stock rom, I used to use the stock camera app on custom roms in my Motorola

You are right, everything is possible but i think with Motorola fw is much easy because Motorola fw is near 100% stock android, Samsung experience (the framework) Is closed source and isn'possible to extract and used in aosp rom due the copyright of framework and the complexity of its integration in the android os, maybe i'm wrong but i never see a stock Samsung framework working on aosp rom in many years of Samsung device i used and modded
I remember back in the days of my S3. There was, for some time, a zip file floating around, which had the whole Samsung Camera, and it worked on AOSP.
I remember opening the zip before installing just out of curiosity and there were a whole bunch of files, not just an apk.
Some years later, I searched for it again, to no avail. It vanished from the face of the internet.
