JFLTE-GPE 4.4.4

Q: What is Google Play Edition?
A: GPE is stock Android compiled by Samsung, it offers the stability of touchwiz with the aesthetics of pure stock AOSP. All drivers for Camera (Including HDR), Bluetooth, GPS, are official proprietary so there will be no issues.

Q: Why 4.4.4 kitkat?

should be good, just had to verify some things, I've thoroughly tested this build and its sweet. I'll post my kernel settings tomorrow .

follow install instructions in the OP, AT&T users must flash loki doki assuming the bootloader lets them, please provide feedback.

Nice Dan. Was running dandroid on my s3 before I got the s4. Was wondering when I'd see some of your work over here. Jumped ship to att? Glad I can still run att roms on t mobile but I always come back to t mobile roms because of wifi calling. Downloading now to play around.

Hey Dan,

Rom is running great on my rogers i337m, love it.

I guess if we want Pictures2SD, we can just use the apk that's been floating around?

I use foldermount to mount
/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/camera

To

/storage/extSdCard/Pictures

Works perfect..

Any help with Samsung Link

Wonderful ROM Dan, Thanks for the upload. Great speed, and everything seems to work with no issues so far. can't get the Kitkat launcher to work yet, keeps requesting for google search even after installing, but I'm sure i can fix that.

It sucks to own the an expensive smartphone and yet be the last to get a routine update, damn Samsung.

Just a noob question if you don't mind. The only feature of TW i love is the Samsung link app. the fact that it flawlessly connects to my laptop for file exploration is just amazing. so is there anyway to install it on this ROM? I can live without it, but life would not really be the same.

Do you mean Kies via wifi? If so, check out Airdroid. PM me if you have any questions.

I'm so happy. I rocked Dandroid on my i747m and now I can't wait to flash this. Sweet.

 

[chibixzero]

does this have the TW framework for some of the Samsung apk to work, Like watchOn?
