This Rom is made by Samsung not Google.

How do I change HOME button settings from double tapping for Multitasking to just HOLDING the button on this S4 Google Edition. Because holding home button gives me Google Cards =( :confused:

I've heard of an app that changes button assignments in the Play Store. Don't know the name though. Try searching "button changer" or something of the sort. Sorry =\

You have Google Wallet working on 4.3?

I haven't tried. i'm still on 4.2.2. I never ran a full test on 4.3.3 - all i've done was make sure it's flashable over the current 4.2.2. As soon as I read that root was lost (Super User), I was turned off by it.

All other roms for the mostpart are buggy, especially CM. The Google Edition ROM, for me, is the safest bet for flashing a different ROM other than a TW based ROM.

I don't have no problems with cm10.1 on my S4... I think is way more stable then this ROM

H+ ? I haven't seen that since i've been on GPe. Just LTE or H.

Given that there are a lot of variables and dependents between the two, Its safe to say that not every phone, every rom, or every situation will be the same. 4.2.2 works perfectly fine on my phone, and CM doesn't, and vice versa for you. What we've done wrong during the install (if anything) is beyond my expertise; this issue is deeper than just that.

But, CM works for you, and thats good.. Stick with what works.

On Cm10.1 Volume on video recording sucks, (too low)Call volume is too loud on calls (Speaker) to the point where it distorts and defeats the purpose of having loud volume if it's not gonna be clear (yes I've tried the faux volume hack), and so is music...mms works when it wants to, random reboots,
everything on this GE ROM (4.2.2) has Been Working Great, everything is reasonably loud and clear battery is great gps is on point, Bluetooth connects, most of all its snappy fast and buttery smooth, i mean what more can we ask for besides the pacman/aosp goodies and the transparent status bar?? :rolleyes:

has anyone noticed that their led never turns on?

Except when charging
Are you on 4.3 leak? Because that is a leak and a few things are broken on it....naturally. Stick with 4.2.2 as it is much more stable. But there is a launcher bug that causes the whole phone to lag after a bit of use. I have also had an issue where MTP stopped working for no reason at all.

Yes there are some weird things happening with these builds, but I feel that they might release a stable build of 4.3 as soon as July 9th. But we have to wait and see..

Crazy. I didnt even get LTE until I flashed this rom. Any other previous stock based or aosp rom would not detect LTE at all, even after changing the apn and network settings. I was getting close to sending my phone in for a return.

Hi, is there a work around to this problem i'm having.
I install 4.2.2 or 4.3 fine, but when I restart my phone it just hangs at the galaxy logo and doesn't boot.

Just boot into recovery and clear your cache. Had the same think happen to me. Should fix it.

Frickin great ROM! Only issue in having is that it seems that I no longer get Gmail notifications when I receive a new email. I have to go in and check for new emails manually.

Anybody have the same issue?

    UPDATE

    Android 4.2.2 v6

    Working: All with amazing battery life
    Not working: Google Wallet (force close)

    Again, not my work, just helping the community! :D

    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2341794

    Same setup - should work on T-MO.

    Just an update about the new 4.3 GPe: External SD Card is readable when you plug it into your PC. The camera however still does not read the SD card. All else is still functioning.Version 4.3 will break root! All versions of SU currently do not work with 4.3. Just keep that in mind.

    You can flash this over your current 4.2.2 Google Edition. If you're coming from TW, do a complete wipe, then flash. Thanks

    ____________________________________________________________________

    No - I did not grab the system dump myself
    Yes - I have tested this for the TMO variant and it's fully functioning

    I did create a Youtube Video on how to install the Google Edition S4. Check it out!
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmYpkJ27WAM

    Althought it's not a ROM built from scratch or a project of any kind, it is a rom all in itself straight from the S4 GE

    (Updated Link) - Thanks to luckyduck69 for posting a new mirror. Previous Link crashed XD.
    If you're interested in the GE (VERSION 4.2.2), download here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/5nz662i2y826kwd/google-edition-bg.zip

    As always, make a backup, wipe, then flash.

    Enjoy!:good:

    Running this rom with the ktoonz kernal. I must say this is nuts. My phone boots in under 10 seconds and I now have LTE in places I didnt before. Wifi is working for me as well. Looking forward to this being the base for the next gen of roms!

    already working on it
    with this base, i couldn't get my computer to recognize USB at all. tries to recognize my device as one with MTP. with my build, it recognizes it but no wifi. just made a new build with a different kernel so hoping everything is in working order. oh, also deodexed and SU pre-installed. if this build works, i'll have this in dev section in just a bit :p

    For anyone with TWRP, there's no need to download and flash the SU binary unless you just happen to have it handy. After flashing the ROM, TWRP will prompt you that the ROM you just flashed isn't rooted and ask if you wish to root. Just say yes, and reboot. Once the ROM boots, you can go to the Play Store and update your SU Binary from there and the phone will have full root capabilities. Not sure if CWM(based?) recoveries do that, but TWRP will.
