Android L Port for Samsung GT-I9505 Galaxy S 4
based on ISF's Project! http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4581600



In this stage, the port can only be installed succesfully on our device. It isn't even booting up. I`m asking kernel developers to make a sample for Android L based on Google Sources. Then I will try my best to fix what problems will appear. Thank you in advance.
What is working?

- Installation process 100% (No errors)
- Bootanimation
What has been done until now?

- Got the Base(SlimKAT 6.0 STABLE) and the PORT (flashable .zip of N5 Android L Developer Preview)
- Deleting /app, /priv-app, /media, /framework, /fonts from BASE and replace them with the ones from PORT. They will need further optimisations.
- Fixing permissions acording to the ones from Android L Developer Preview
- Fixing build.prop settings
- Fixing updater-script since it gave lots of installation erros
- Building the main ALPHA .zip
- Got a logcat from booting which I`m gonna post it down below
- That's it for now
What is needed for further development?

- [REQ] Custom ANDROID L Kernel for I9505
- /system tweaks - I will do them after the first complete boot
- I`m asking developers to take a look on the logcat below. There seems to be some problems with .lib files
Installation Instructions

1. You must be ROOTED.
2. You must run latest TWRP or CWM Recovery.
3. IT IS A PRIORITY TO MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!
4. WIPE ALL
5. Flash .zip in recovery.
6. Reboot and enjoy the beautiful animation. At least for now...
