Other Downloads:

Download Gapps Lite + Root:
I recommend this lite gapps + root package, it's only around 20mb and works great with ART
http://www.broodplank.net/files/gapps-4.4.2-lite-with-supersu-1.86.zip


Download Boosterpack: (Next to already partly integrated it now causes bootloops)
The boosterpack releases are a combination of the optimized davlik / bionic libs from qualcomm.
Next to that it includes a Linaro O3 Kernel which is compiled with an Optimized Linaro Toolchain (Thanks to @Christopher83)

Latest release: http://www.broodplank.net/files/AOSP-4.4.2-Boosterpack-v7.zip






Installing:
1. Put latest release + gapps lite for 4.4.2 + root on your sdcard
2. Reboot in recovery (make sure its compatible with 4.4.x )
3. If coming from any other rom then a previous version of this aosp, its highly recommended to fully wipe /data to prevent bootloops
4. Install ROM zip and then install gapps + root (the one provided by the link)
5. Reboot your phone and enjoy my ROM

Ok as some of you know I have been experimenting with AOSP 4.3 lately, and I have build it now from source (with the help of a lot of external repositories. although every file in /system/app and /system/framework is from the real aosp. so that means there are zero modifications to the system. This first build I really messy, I have compiled it with very much pain lol. It's kinda "frankenrom" right now since I have merged different builds together to get the best working system. but it works! And that's a big word when talking about the static aosp. (this is mainly because of the cm repo's else it would have never booted).
The performance is about the same of CM-10.2. it scores around 25k in antutu, but that's the last thing I care about right now.
I think we can get AOSP to work completely for jfltexx, it's not so hard with combined power.. it's hard to do it on your own tho.


Vanilla-O-Meter: 86%
(This represents the percentage of AOSP vanilla repositories used for last build)

Thanks The RIL is working but it is not receiving anything, so that's a problem. the current way to hang up a phone call is: "adb shell radiooptions 10" :silly::silly:

but not being able to get called is a real problem, it just rings and rings at the person who calls but phone received nothing, also not in logcat. But the reason for that is the telephony provider of AOSP is not properly supporting the samsung ril,so i'm working on that (it's not easy XD :silly

For now Ill switch back to CM because all that time i'm not reachable. Keep checking this thread for updates.

edit: btw, if people want to experiment, please do! I cannot afford to be unreachable all the time

I like what your doing on xda but I noticed when your opening a thread I it's not maintained and dies out.

don't worry on this one lol, it's aosp. it's my number one priority since 1.5 years XD

I have currently made a new github organization (https://github.com/AOSP-S4) where I will store all the repositories

I'll be very happy if you did with this one.

I will

Already fixed Incoming SMS, now incoming Calls is the target, I think the reason is that the signal strenght is extremely worse (not in the bar but as in values 1500 dBm 780 asu, its should be like 90 afaik. So working on that. :silly:

Also able to build it completely from source without any stops so everything gets compiled, no frankenrom combinations

Last 3 issues:
- Call incoming
- Bluetooth
- Camera

Hi Brood,

I was wondering if you could explain what the differences are with your [JSS15J] AOSP vs other AOSP versions out CM10.2 etc etc ???
I am sure i am not the only one very curious about this. Maybe a little bit of info on the process and so on.

Cheers mate !!!

Well. this aosp build has been compiled from sources. it uses pretty much CM sources, in order to be able to compile. Although the roms apps/framework files all 100% stock aosp 4.3. It had no modifications whatsoever zo its a sort of base ROM for developers. The most awesome roms are made on aosp. for example CM which is the most popular. CM is heavily modified but a true example of an aosp rom.

Then you have the samsung aosp builds... Which is the least actual aosp of all 3. The ROM is way to big to be a real aosp build. It contains loads of extra stuff which is their framework , but the worst part is. Closed source. So endless painful reverse engineering rom building.

Aosp is the initial mother ROM of all Android roms. Also for sammy stock fw. But if you compare 200mb (aosp) to 2.1gb (tw stock, bloated) then its just a big joke. they make their system so over the top large that it just redeems about 4gb of your total sdcard. Instead of optimizing the stock ROM. They only bloat it richly and add many crap that you dont want.. I love Samsung phones but im my opinion TW is a load of junk. I remeber doping my first antutu test. Just out the store. Phone went black. Reaching about 90 degrees Celcius.

In general the hardware of Samsung is always +1 but the software is always constructed very poorly. Without keeping any optimizing in kind. Samsung just wants tot release as much devices as possible. They do not care about the bugs it seems. Which is good because TW is one mega bug

I just hate tw since im a developer i guess. The way it works is just awful compared to aosp
I installed cm10.1 2 hours after i got my device lol.

Anyways. If this project is stable then this beats the google edition at any time. In usability

 

[broodplank1337]

Guys I got great news, incoming calls and sms is working! :victory: Now camera and bluetooth :fingers-crossed:

btw this last build I compiled had a different hwcomposer, and it made a lot of difference, the screen is not running in vsync atm, it looks really laggy but it runs over 60 fps (when the fps meter goes about 60 in the antutu benchmark test with the knights you know it), anyways, that will not come in the next build, it will include a proper hwcomposer and kernel (since they seem to coop I noticed )

next build has working incoming call and sms. I also have found a patch for S4 camera, so I hope it works :fingers-crossed:

ok taking videos is already working, taking pictures is not (just like on cm because of the build.prop issue, which is kinda weird tbh).
Actually it just stacks up nicely along the "issues" from cm-10.2, mainly because I use the whole CM hardware folder probably

 

[boterkaaseneieren]

So glad your still working on this one docter frankenstein

 

[broodplank1337]

So glad your still working on this one docter frankenstein

its getting less frankenrom every minute I'm currently compiling the whole system (from clean) and detecting errors/fixing them, and of course directly to github. else I forget it XD. Too much weed to remember everything

Anyways, when the camera works I'm happy, i don't care about bluetooth at all. but that doesn't mean it gets lower prio in fixing though

What I notice btw is that the system feels really clean, I have never got 25.8k at antutu before (also not with oc xd, and this kernel is just a very nasty build, recompiled like 10 times getting dirtier and dirtier XD)

 

[DavraZ]

Looking really good. I am following this thread from now on!

When are you going to post second build?

 

[jamal2367]

Good job !!! Great work !!!

 

[broodplank1337]

When are you going to post second build?

asap. I'm so extremely messy atm, have been compiling all night. actually almost 5 days in a row now XD.

Anyways, I'm going to post it now, DO NOT MIND THE BUILD.PROP, it's from CM10.2 and not even from me. It's the only build.prop that makes the camera take pictures.. I know this sounds extremely lame but it's really true, I've tested it many times with great disbelief. got crippled by my own sense of logicness. (only the host builder name and date is different, no extra lines tho :/)

Anyways, this build contains gapps as well. I know it's not allowed but if JBQ leaves the AOSP team I can easily do this in this dirty build :good:

You can also use the first build's zip and copy over: Phone, TelephonyProvider, Contacts and Dialer

Everything is working (afaik) except bluetooth, I removed the apk so it won't fc all the time.

Going to take a break after the link has been posted because i have not sleept for over 48 hours already xd.

If you like to help me, be my guest, and download the manifest. it may include some small errors in building. But i can guarantee there are only very few.

Good luck and have fun testing guys, i'm off for now (I think xd)

4.3 has root protection idd but it's no that bad, Ill try rebuilding it with superuser added.

What you guys can do is adding:
- Settings.apk from
- /system/xbin/su
- /system/bin/.ext/su
- /system/etc/.has_su_daemon

All those from CM10.2 in AOSP4.3 zip, reinstall and it should work I think

or from Google Edition rom, like jamal's rom.

edit: included partially disabled SElinux boot.img, adb has root all the time.
