28 février 2014 :

-Autobrightness values updated. These are MUCH better indoors, the minimum brightness is now down to 15 from CM's native 20
and the brightness with a lux value of 150 and lower will now be 40 out of a possible 255 (max brightness), Autobrightness will
now do what the feature is supposed to do, save battery
-Added Opensource SU and removed chainfire SU
-- this fixes the "fix root" nag in recovery
-- It's faster debug (ALOT faster)
-- It looks cooler
-- It's integrated right into settings (settings>superuser)
-Enabled battery % for ART users and made sure its clear to read at sub 50%
-Updated MMS from source, it's now white but can be toggled to be inverted via settings
-Updated Google Services Framework
-Build.prop updated
-updated kernel to kt 02/24/2014
--WIFI driver update
--Sound driver updates
-Google Now Launcher is now available in the market and has been removed from the OP
*Use the updated DarkUI in the optional section if you use this feature*


18 février 2014 :

-Unlocked the dialer, we now have a world phone (you will still need to sim unlock if your provider locks it, however this helps travelers)
-Unlocked every network mode available for our modem, (Settings - More - Mobile networks - Preferred network)
-Enabled in call noise suppression (no idea why they didn't include this)
-Disabled CSP from the dialer, we now have full control over the phone and what networks we can choose (might not affect your carrier but this is useful for traveling, trust me)
-Tweaked my indoor auto brightness values, still using too much juice in medium/high indoor light, this is much better
-Enabled app ops in Settings > Security, Take total control of the permissions apps are granted when you install them from google play, VERY useful if you are concerned about privacy or you just don't want some misc app seeing your SMS's or having network permissions
-Added CM file manager to help users setup the ROM faster, This is actually a very nice app with lots of options and it works on ART. it's TINY too!
-Removed the buggy/useless/unsecure/lame/stupid face lock feature
-Updated Gravity box
-Updated build.pop
*DO NOT FLASH ANY MODS UNTIL I UPDATE THEM*
*Stock edition had very low downloads, I have discontinued that build, all you have to do now is uninstall xposed and its modules like any other app


08 février 2014 :

- Flash this if you are on my previous release from today (no need to install the full build, this change is very small, the main build is updated for new users to the ROM however )
- Fixed date picker in contacts
- Enjoy


06 février 2014 :

*Recommend a full wipe, many changes have been implemented
-Updated Kernel
-Fixed home button lag
-Disabled double tap for recents menu
-recents is now back to S4 standard of long press home
-Disabled Samsung Autobrightness (horrible)
-Enabled Stock Autobrightness with CM Autobrightness values (this took some research but I pulled it off without breaking ART) - This will result in massive battery savings
-Gravity box should now be able to control auto brightness values
-Removed Google search from system/priv-app for 2 reasons, 1) its out of date and 2) I actually prefer it as a user app, makes it easier to hibernate with greenify for non-premium users
-Removed Google earth libs, hangouts and chrome libs out of the system/lib folder
-the ROM is very light now, comes in at less then 300mb
-Updated Gravitybox
-Updated build.prop
-This is the most polished google edition available. I proudly support all 3 variants of the Galaxy S4 and I hope the international community appreciates this hard work
*DO NOT FLASH DARK UI ZIP OR THE DISABLE S-VOICE ZIP, USE THE UPDATED ZIPS AS THE OLD ONES ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH SOME CHANGES I MADE*


30 janvier 2014 :

-Updated stock launcher on stock edition
-Updated Kernel
-GPU updates
-Fixed Dialer settings theme
-Re-odexed the googledialer.apk for speed
-everything up to date now, missed some theme details on the last update
-dirty flash should be fine if coming from the previous build. (wipe caches though)


21 janvier 2014 :

-Updated SU
-Updated Busybox
-Updated ktoonsez kernel to 1/13/2014
1. ktoonservativeq: Added new tunable called super_conservative. When enabled (enter a 1) this will dramitacally reduce the bouncing effect from Min Mhz and the amount of hotplugging. Performance may take a hit for the really picky user but 95% of the people that have been testing say its not enough to bother them.
2. Linux 3.4.76
3. Tweaked disable hotplugging while music/video is playing option.
-Updated google keyboard
-Updated google search
-Updated google play services
-Updated Gravity Box
-Reverted NA gps.conf to stock GPE
-Reverted bionic binary
-more adjustments to the build.prop
-Disabled ROM/kernel debug logging for more speed
-The ultimate clean up build


12 janvier 2014 :

-Contacts white on white fixed when in landscape
-MMS send image in the quick reply box is now visible
-Foldermount confirmed working with the ramdisk, no changes were needed (do not restore jellybean data)

what is ramdisk?

RAM disk is a initial root file system that is mounted prior before the real root file system is available. The ramdisk is bound to the kernel and loaded as part of the kernel boot procedure. The kernel will then mount this ramdisk as part of the two-stage boot process to load the modules (included in system/lib/modules of this ROM to make the real file systems available and get at the real root file system)

ramdisk contains a minimal set of directories and executables to achieve this and developers can add in tweaks or make changes to this part of the kernel, if something doesn't work, don't look at me, look at Samsung/Google or the dev of the app because this system is fully intact and odexed and can be proved simply by enabling ART

I also added a small incremental .zip for users on 01/09/2014 Standard and Stock edition available so you don't have to flash a full ROM

see you when the next OTA from google arrives folks


06 janvier 2014 :

-Inverted the phone app(screenshot in the OP)
-Inverted contacts
-Updated kernel
-Added native ART support (need to flash stock MMS afterwards)
-Removed ongoing Android debugging notification
-Huge thanks to my partners Kryten2k35 and ktoonsez


01 janvier 2014 :

-Enhanced system images, dithering disabled
-Updated Gravitybox
-Added G+ to user apps for 100% Cam support
-Reworked some build.prop tweaks
-added pictures to ext SD card support (Xposed module)
-ART removed (no need for this experimental feature, qualcomm optimized dalvik is much more supported)
-Removed google gallery (seriously, this apk needs work by google to be of any use whatsoever, use quickpic from the market for your gallery. TRUST ME!)
-KT 01/01/2014 (Fixes reboots and installing from ext SD card)
-Enjoy! and happy new year! this is the fastest and most optimized google edition available for the S4, No ROM will benchmark as fast as this one and I guarantee it because I've tested all of them


19 décembre 2013 :

-Updated Superuser
-Updated Xuimod
-Removed all traces of Samsung (except S-view)
-CSC removed
-Enabled all rotations
-Dithering enabled for better image quality
-Increased panorama resolution
-Faster scrolling - very fluid and smooth, you will notice this right away
-Launcher now stays in memory (performance boost)
-Touchscreen optimizations - try it with a pair of gloves now not nearly as bad ( I live in canada and need this)
-Battery life optimizations - just a few that are proven to work, there are alot of useless battery tweaks out there, I was careful
-Decreased boot time - (not by very much lol, half a second maybe? based on 2 tests)
-Phone will deep sleep faster (This tested positive in CPU spy, The best tweak in the arsenal for sure)
-Disabled Playstore check in - This fixes app's that "hang" when downloading an update, also the system won't auto update when you first login
-Xposed is now uninstallable
-All modules are user uninstallable
-adjusted build.prop tweaks
-removed google drive (get it from the market)
-removed chrome (get it from the market)
-Qualcomm-optimized Dalvik & Bionic libraries (compare with ART now )
-The screenshot on the left is yesterdays build after a full day and a settled kernel, the one on the right is from a half hour so ago


update 7:12 AM, I did another benchmark after allowing the phone and kernel to settle down a bit



pretty insane... These benchmarks rival art and this is also amazing because optimized dalvik will not increase battery consumption, it will actually lower it! Very well could be a random reboot fixer too for those certain unlucky users, never know at this point =/

Samsung is gone from the build, Every tweak I added tonight has been tested and I immediately noticed how fluid and smooth scrolling is, the system is bench marking better as well


17 décembre 2013 :

-Reboots should be fixed for all users
-special thanks to Iamnotkurtcobain


14 décembre 2013 :

- Full wipe
- based everything on latest 4.4.2 ota from tonight
