Needed to update the firmware on my wife's phone last night.
What an absolute pleasure downloading the 1.7GB image from torrents at 1MB/sec...
Sjo, what phone is that?

Sjo, what phone is that?
Galaxy S4.
Started chowing the battery so I downloaded the latest Omega rom for it.
If you want good battery you should give Ozcan or Prism ROM a spin. I can go almost 2 days on 1 charge on either ROM.
Prism is a barebones ROM so if your SO like the Sammy apps best not use it.
She charges every night, so not really a requirement. I know omega, so sticking with the familiar. Didn't install any of the stock apps anyway
Something was really stuffed up with the stock rom. 7 hours to kill the battery. 30% screen usage, but the phone was getting hot next to the speaker (I assume that's where the CPU is)...
For sure..
Either me or Sinbad, whoever gets their first... I feel it might be him, too many other things going on in my life atm![]()
It's a 9500, was running the latest firmware.
Same as mine. She shouldn't be getting any heating issues, they have since been fixed with the latest firmware.
If you want you can try the kernel that I use, just flash it via your recovery and see if it fixes the heating.
Ozcan's repacked kernel
I tried Omega's ROM but found it a bit laggy, especially when opening the Dialer sheesh would take like 4 seconds to open the first time.
Well, she says the phone feels a lot snappier, more responsive now... so who knows![]()
My phone always feels snappier after an update, till I bog it down with BBM and a zillion games LOL
If it's working then I say don't touch it.
PS: if it still gets hot try the kernel![]()

It doesn't get hot any more... Was the first thing I checked.
I didn't wipe, so all her apps and data are still there and untouched. Omega is a LOT more responsive than stock bloaty rom.
You did a dirty flash!? I see you like to live dangerously LOL
Samsung's ROM's are just shyte to say the least. I don't run stock sammy ROM's for the same reason.
lol
root
philz touch
recovery mode, install zip file
The omega install cleans out the cache and dalvik automatically.
Mine's now in a bakkie![]()
Hey CW... where can we check our usage currently?
I think I found a "small" problem on my network last night....
So how am I doing in a "TK" thread? I tried poking my head in the official one once or twice.... place scared me....![]()
