New to custom ROMs - Few questions - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I was looking at flashing paranoid android onto my i9505, I've found a couple of websites (well-known I think, like true-android), but they direct me to a download/file share website and Chrome blocks the downloads automatically saying they are malicious... Are they really malicious?
Does anyone please have a link to a reliable paranoid android rom for the i9505 please?
Thanks!

Here you go. This is unified so it works on all s4s. Make sure to flash gaps after the rom.

I have downloaded and installed that, as well as this:
6-2_GApps_Minimal_4.4.3_signed.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/standard-minimal-gapps-t2012857
Seems to be working okay

Reinstall Gaaps after each ROM update ?

I used to update ROMs on my Motorola Defy, but I never had to reinstall Gaaps.
When you update PA, you have to reinstall Gaaps (if I have understand well), is it the same for ofther Nexus 4 ROMs ?
I'm really confused, thanks
PS: Do you still have to update ROMs using recovery (flash .zip) ? Or is there apps which do that ? I heard CyanogenMod have now an OTA update function, is it the same for PA ?
on most roms you do have to reflash the gapps after flashing the rom, unless the rom includes a script that saves them. but, it takes a few seconds to reflash the gapps anyways.

Thanks, Do you have an idea why it's not included in PA ?

most dont include it, since its just a matter of a few extra seconds of flashing.

You could make your own script to save them if you wanted. It's not difficult. However, I think occasionally the PA devs modify the gapps with their own changes so that is why they don't setup a script to save them since you would need the new custom versions.
btw, you're better off flashing in recovery. apps that flash occasionally mess up. goo manager can be used to download and flash roms/gapps/kernels.
Ok thanks guys !

Hi,
It's like on all custom roms (CM, AOSP, AOKP). If I remember right Google requested that the Gapps should not be included in the roms. It was at the time of my Gnex if I'm not wrong.
At a moment LiquidSmooth rom included the Gapps and they remove them due to Google policy.
Maybe a dev can reply... Need to confirm but there was an history about the request from Google to not include the Gapps but as a separate package.

As the guys above said, it's mostly a license issue. You cannot include Gapps in a product you launch as your own because unlike other apps like Messaging and Camera, Gapps are not exactly a part of AOSP; they are made by Google. The thing is, developers like the one for your Motorola Defy get away with adding gapps in their ROMs because they are unofficial builds of CM and Google cannot keep a check on all the ROMs out there. The same way the case for my Samsung Galaxy Ace.
For official builds, however, you always require Gapps package to be flashed separately because Google has an eye on the official ones.

FirefoxOS ported to Samsung Galaxy S2 (JellyBean 4.3)

I've finally opened the new official thread for this port:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612940
Thanks!
Hi,
I've been working on supporting GT-I9100 for FirefoxOS with JellyBean 4.3. This is going to be the near-future for next FirefoxOS releases so thanks to the previous work done by CyanogenMod on porting this device to JB4.3, I could ported it to FirefoxOS.
I don't have "privileges" to create a new thread on i9100 development forum and announce there all the work I've done, so in the meantime I thought that someone here could be interested in testing it and helping
Right now, the only way to have an image and installing it on you device is building it by yourself, just follow these instructions: plus.google.com/117885749590235128300/posts/cH2qU1hcLEC
I'm working on providing a precompiled image installable via CWM and hope to have those precompiled images for the weekend so stay tunned
Thanks!

Hello,
I've currently no time to try compiling (and i had to uninstall my linux recently...) But I will definitely keep an eye on this thread and be happy to test when you succeed to provide a precompiled image (or when I get a little time to compile it myself)
That might be a silly question but is there any chance that it works white other aosp based rom like Paranoid Android ?
Thanks for your work !

Well, the dual boot can be extended to add other ROMs easily but it will take a lot of time to test them all so for now I'd stick with Cyanogenmod 10.2. Anyway, all my work is shared via github.com/atilag so any collaboration will be appreciated
I already provided a CWM installable .zip that you can find here: https : //mega.co.nz/#!0NUwEAxK!AQXMXzjmkQRiMvn6auQEEkN3sL8eOn0GFFXSRyXzdvE

Can you tell us what are the steps for installing this rom? Flash it via CWM? Is this a dual boot rom will it have JB in it, or do you have to flash it on top of JB? What features are functioning in Firefox? Calls, sms, WIFI?

Yes, this is a CWM installable .zip.
It is dual-boot in case you have installed CM10.2 on it. If you don't, you won't be able to dual-boot.
I wanted to reach the necessary post count to create an official thread on developers forums fot this port, so I just used this one as a preview... this is the reason cause there's no much more information about the port in this thread
Anyway, visit the link to my G+ post and you will have further instructions, I cannot post links yet, so build it yoursefl: plus.google.com/117885749590235128300/posts/cH2qU1hcLEC
What doesn't work:
* Graphic issues (some laggy)
* No mobile-data (it connects to 3G/HSDP networks but don't transmit data)
* No Camera
* No Bluetooth
I'm working on building a new version these days, so a new release would be available soon.
Wifi works? Just making sure, great work!

how to boot back into android
Hi Juan,
First of all thanks for the effort of porting Firefox to SGS2, I have successfully installed the zip file that you have posted and I have booted into Firefox. Like you mentioned no mobile data, no camera, no bluetooth. Voice call function ok. I have not managed to connect to a wireless yet. Can you tell me how to boot into android instead of firefox? I have installed the zip on top om CM 10.2 so dual boot should work.

Hi, first of all, I opened a new ROM thread (and thus the official) for this port: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612940
If you want to boot into CM10.2, you have to use adb this way:
adb shell cr.sh 1
This will reboot the phone in this very moment, and will boot into CM10.2.

I can't write on the official thread yet, you know how that is. Curious if anyone has tried the i727 skyrocket yet and what results. Thanks in advance.

[Q] Couple of questions regarding PAC ROM

Hi Everyone !
So I am really new to the world of custom ROMS and want to install one on my s3 (SGH i747). After a bit of shopping around, I really like PAC Rom.I have the following questions and would really appreciate it if someone could answer them:
1) Is there a guide for dummies like me that can walk me through the installation process ?
2) Is PAC ROM stable ? How do I update it if there are updates ? Is it good for a first time user ?
3) In this ROM, can I customise the notification area ? Like make the notification area and panel transaprent like in the stuff in IOS 7 ?
4) Will restoring from titanium backup interfere in anyway ?
Thanks for all your help !

Hi
1) It is like every other ROM, you just factory reset and install the zip
2) I use it on my nexus 4 and yesterday, when I received a call I was unable to get it. If you don't care about that you can try PAC ROM but cyanogenmod must be better for you
3) Yes, you can like on cyanogenmod. I'm note sure about what you mean but the notification bar is transparent like on every Kitkat based ROM
4) I don't know I never use titanium

There isn't PAC ROM for your phone, you will have to choose one of those made for your phone. You can find them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725839
If I was you I would choose Omni ROM

You're right, I didn't see it,I just searched "i747" on the PAC ROM website so I couldn't find your phone.So I recommend you this PAC ROM and not the Omni ROM
I just installed the last update of PAC ROM on my nexus 4 and the phone calls work well

How to install official stock firmare via TWRP for J510?

Hi!
I want to install official firmware via TWRP. Can someone port it to .img or something?
There is a error when I try to install via download mode and Odin ("fused").
My phone is J510MN, but J510FN is good too.
Hello again! Sorry but I need to up this topic one first time.
Thats error is common when we try to update via Odin an original stock firmware, unsuscessfully. But I'm not downgrading! I just need to be on 100% stock again.
A solution that I think: its possible to create a zip or img file for update via TWRP?
Im on the last TWRP Aroma launched on J5 2016 dev area.
Thanks "code crew"!
EDIT: The pic of the error described is attached below and... Sorry for my bad bad English!
i have you covered. right here https://mega.nz/#!IdEV1R6T!cwIy6vulfEbhHLvZ0V1oxSMSPLT03TBPFb_0hpt_yOQ

Thanks master Wizard! Is there any bugs or something, related to pieces of software missing, because its an debloated rom modified?
But... Not that your work, guys, is not good. Au contraire!
Im questioning just because I have found a couple of not so annoying bugs on Light Stock ROM. But i dont reported because there little bugs that may be unrelevant to the almost everyone and relevant just for me, i guess.
Thanks again for the patient and expertise of our team of masters and misters!

Pure Android for ZE520KL or ZE552KL?

So...
I've been using this Zenfone 3 (ZE520KL), but actually I'd want to buy Nexus 5x or 6p (Google Pixel is too expensive so I don't wanna buy it).
Seems boring with the ZenUI because it has a lot of bloatware. I found on Google: how to make AOSP, but I'm still newbie, so I cannot make my own ROM.
If someone could build an AOSP, I will very excited. Thanks for the advance
Sorry for my bad English. :*
You can install lineage or resurrection rom with stock gapps package. Closest you can get to pure aosp and better IMO.
Speaker Problems
Hello Guys,
I'm new here, I don't know too much about programming. I have already used CM/Lineage in some devices and always loved it. I have one 552KL and I installed the LineagoOS today. Unfortunately I have a problem: My speaker does not work properly. Some applications has sound and some do not. EX: WhatsApp, calls and notificatins works, games not, youtube not, music not.... What could I do? Thank all of you for this ROM and for sure I will make donations for this project!!
