As i always say, for noobs, but kids/AOSP lovers or TW haters!
Again, a BIG thanks to sammobile.com for leaking this ROM 24 hours early. Great effort guys.
(I am missing those people who were supposed to pass over them)
• Usually phone calls were of no problem. Sound is solid in both earpiece and speaker.
Noise Reduction feature is back, and i love it. :good:
• Vibration intensity is solid as it was.
• All connectivity works. WiFi, 3G/H+, Bluetooth etc.
• Swype is present as it should and version is 3.26.92Q
• Is it me only or the 1080P mkv files are running smoother than before!! :good:
• TW launcher does have the loop Home screen option, and as well in App drawer.
• Internet Browser- Well it has been changed, all over smoothness is better than previous ROM. Nice. The address loading bar is changed it's color from green to Sky blue and a little bit thicker as well! :good:
• Jeez! Can you guys see an option to Refresh a web page?? I can't!
• Call logs STILL don't categorise numbers! Uff!
• Vibrate option changed it's name to Mute. Lol. And the Vibrate icon is changed in Status bar.
• The icons in Notification bar (Application update, any other notifications etc) is no more big ones but they are small like as they were in GB.
• The Lockscreen notification is changed. Now Missed call and SMS are indicated under two separate circles and their background is transparent, unlike in previous ROM it was Red. :good:
• The scrolling bar is changed. Previously it would appear in a different grid with it the long vertical line and green colored, but now it is well merged, small and doesn't stay on any vertical line. :good:
• The Task Manager writing is now BIG and fills up the whole screen area horizontally. What's the point?
• The settings menu (which appears when you press menu button) is changed. It appears in a white and a little big icon sets. See screenshot.
• As it is mentioned many times before, Contacts in now there under phone dialer. :good:
• There is an option to set battery status to show as percentage in Status bar.
• There is an option to have a little vibrate when a call is connected. :good:
• There is a new option i am noticing, under Display you'd see a 'Help Text' option!
• The font 'Rosemary' is now added under main fonts.
• Connection with desktop is working fine as it always did.
• So far, haven't noticed any specific bugs, or any apps are not opening or something like that.
The OVERALL smoothness and scrolling is good, even with the stock kernel. So it's definitely worth upgrading.
No root yet! So I'll upload a video tomorrow, if a root kernel appears.
Now if I have missed any point which you've found OR misstated anything please reply below.
Regards.

I said no root because i didn't root, that's all ! I don't use anything besides Siyah, Hardcore's kernel or CF.

As far as other users have reported it breaks wifi and Bluetooth, i haven't tried, so i can't confirm.

Exactly, that's what I always do until the adequate CF-root is released. Works like a charm.
My exact same sentiments ithehappy. Samsung seems to be doing well with firmware updates now. Hope this good run continues with JB.
I don't see myself going AOSP or custom ROM anytime soon.
Only negative thing I noticed is the removal of the brightness adjustment by the sliding notification area. But I can live without it.

Hi guys. I'm new here, this is my first post to a thread in this gigantic forum actually, but I've been following some threads for quite a while now.
I think it's great 4.0.4 has been released (even if it is not official yet) for the i9100.
I'm very excited to turn to that new FW since I've been having mic issues while on phone calls and since noise reduction was somehow lost in the transition from GB to ICS it was a bit disappointing to have such a great piece of hardware with a faulty software that was preventing using the phone to its full.
By the way @ithehappy, thx very much for sharing your experience here.
Anybody noticed the bugs?
This rom has some bugs.
1. Camera shutter sound works even if the phone is on silent mode.
2. Swiping on the status bar for brightness control doesn't work.
EDIT: Camera sound was due to KOR sales code. Have changed it to XEU. Now it is silent when the phone is silent.
They can be new features, not necessarily bugs.
lOl, you can call them new features. :angel:
But they are surely bugs. (especially the focus & shutter sound in silent mode)
So far, following bugs found, Bluetooth not working, camera app not showing preview and corruption of serial number of phone.
Still a bit buggy,especially if needing to use Bluetooth.
bluetooth working perfectly fine with my car, both a2dp and making/receiving calls.
Camera app also working fine for me. Camera shutter is silent if my phone is set on silent too.
i do have the empty serial number but thats not important to me.

Bluetooth was making phone noise, but no volume of caller. Camera app showing black screen, no picture review before taking a picture.
This is still very buggy, other users are also reporting no sound when the phone is in a car dock.

My friend, brightness slider could be disabled by purpose, you never know. Focus&shutter sound - isn't a legal issue involved here? (I've read that it was illegal to silent these sounds completely in some countries )
Anyway I don't want to discuss this any more. So EOT here
About BT - I don't use handsfree and other acc, but file transfer worked like a charm for me today.
No camera sound now when the phone is on silent mode. (Had to change the sales code from KOR to XEU).
camera and bluetooth is working fine with me... all is well...

I have always wanted a full screen incall screen or the transparency in the incall screen to get a full photo of the caller. have seen many ROM's implementing this feature on 4.3 and also on 4.4. Recently many devs have started removing this feature from their builds. Any way i could implement it in my phone ? Any flashable zips for this feature ? I am using Purity Rom currently.

Delete /system/media/audio/ui/ csmers click ofg
WA settings, notifications, select no popup
Settings, my device, lock screen, untick camera shortcut
Dont think this is built-in
Thanks for your reply. I have deleted the shutter sound effect. i have already unticked the wotts app pop up option and still recieve them. I also recieve them for facebook notifications making me think its a lollipop feature not app. Also my settings allows me to disable the camera widget on lockscreen but not the phone widget which seem to be mandatory. Thanks for your help with the shutter sound much appeciated.

Hello,
I'm new here and I actually just joined like a minute ago just to ask this .
I am using a stock 5.0.1 i9505 but it is rooted. Is it possible to get back the LEDs that light/blink when the screen is off? I actually came from a custom rom that is 5.0.2 and has it. Is it possible to grab it from there?
Or is there some kind of mod to get it without using a third party app like flow or something? Just the LEDs like it was on Kitkat.
Thanks!
There are LED control apps on the Play Store that should do what you want. Try them out.
hmm so it is not possible to extract it from some custom rom or even kitkat roms? how about the pulse notification light in the settings in lollipop roms specifically albe's s6 rom as that was where I came from, is it possible to get it?
btw I actually tried light flow before
Thanks!
Extra question: How can I get the settings app of s6 into an i9505? I tried getting the secsettings and secsettingsprovider in priv-app but did not work.
I'd install Cyanogenmod. It has the LED controls.
In answer to your extra question, I don't believe that's possible. The person to ask would be someone who has ported an S6 ROM to the S4...hint, hint.

I don't see why Samsung would disable the LED notification lights.
Using an app would be a lot simpler than using a mod. Mod can cause various problems.

I don't know if it is a bug from the rom or not because albe95's s6 port has it working and it actually is the pulse instead of the blink from KK.
Now I just saw what is my problem. Cannot activate interruptions while the phone is in mute mode so LEDs does not light up when I receive a message. This only happened after I got Lollipop. Is there any way to fix this? In vibrate and sound modes the LEDs work just fine. I actually made a temporary work around by going into vibrate then sliding all the vibration intensities to zero. Problem is when I want to put my phone in my pocket I have to go to settings and slide them up again. Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks!
I have a trouble, in a Galaxy J5 2015 (J500M) that i Try to use the flashlight in videocalls, in Lollipop work but in Marshmallow say "You can not use the flashlight when the camera is being used" making it imposible to turn in on, even going on Nougat Roms, I using now LineageOS 14,1.
Any help? I do not want to use Lollipop just for that. In the Rom i use now, the flashlight icon is Disabled in the videocalls (Is grey and i touch anything is happend).
It's because you are using the camera. Very simple.

Do not understand, before in Lollipop I could turn on the flashlight using the camera, bone could turn it on from the notification panel, but now does not allow from Marshmallow
