AllShareCast/ScreenMirror fix for custom ROMs (I9500, I9505, I9506, E330, N9005) - Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps

This fix is for those who like to use AllShareCast/ScreenMirrorwhile on custom ROM (i.e. custom flag is set).
Disclamer: You apply the fix at your own risk. I'm not responsible for any software or hardware damage it can lead. The only thing i can assure is that i've tested fix on my I9500 and I9506 devices and they work fine.
Disclamer 2: I don't provide any technical support for my fixes through PM. So, please don't write PM about porting it to other ROM versions or other devices. I share what i'm doing for myself and have no intention to port it to devices i don't have.
This fix is not really fixes the problem, but turns off HDCP protection. So, the video signal will go to HDMI in clear(unprotected) form. As a side effect, this fix also will be useful for those, who has non-HDCP TV and thus cannot use Screen Mirror function.
I've made versions for 3 different SoCs, thus it should be compatible with almost full range of Samsung top devices:
Exynos 5410 for GT-I9500 Android 4.3 ROM MJ8
Snapdragon 600 for GT-I9505 Android 4.3 ROM MK8
Snapdragon 800 for GT-I9506(SHV-E330S/K/T) Android 4.3 ML5, SM-N9005 (and other SD800 versions of Note 3)
To install the fix, your device should be rooted!
You need to use file explorer which is able to write to /system partition. I recommend to use Root Explorer.
1) Open /system partition with write access ("mount R/W" button in Root Explorer)
2) Unpack following archive to specified folder:
for Android v4.3:
for Exynos 5410: unpack hdcpoff_5410.zip to /system/lib
for Snapdragon 600: unpack hdcpoff_sd600.zip to /system/lib
for Snapdragon 800: unpack hdcpoff_sd800.zip to /system/vendor/lib
for Android v4.4.2:
for Exynos 5410: unpack hdcpoff_5410_4.4.2.zip to /system/lib
for Snapdragon 600: unpack hdcpoff_sd600_4.4.2.zip to /system/lib
for Snapdragon 800: unpack hdcpoff_sd800_4.4.2.zip to /system/lib (not really required. HDCP should work fine on custom ROMS 4.4.2)
3) reboot your device.
That's all!
I didn't test my fix neither on I9505 nor N9005, but in theory it should work.
Update (30/Aug/2014):
I've added Android 4.4.2 HDCP OFF version for I9500 (I9500XXUGNG3), for I9505 (I9505XXUGNG8). It should work on any 4.4.2 ROM.
About Snapdragon 800 version (i9506, E330S, Note 3 Qualcomm version): it's funny, but my E330S (with old 4.2.2 bootloader and I9506 4.4.2 system) works without any fix. It uses HDCP although my kernel and system are custom with a lot of bloatware (including KNOX) removed. It works with both Samsung AllShareCast and Netgear PTV3000.
I've uploaded patched lib for SD800 (I9506XXUCNG3) for any case (unpack to /system/lib).
Update 2:
added N9005 4.4.2 version. You can try it on other N900x models as well (SD800 only!).
For Galaxy S5 (SM-G900 not sure Exynos or Qualcomm) look here (not tested by me)
For generic Exynos solution look here (not tested by me)
P.S.: If you are skilled enough, then you can port this fix to other version of ROM. Quick hint: Disassemble my fix and original file in IDA Pro, then compare listing to find the difference. And then, using some keywords near modified part, you can locate required places in the new version.
Generally, the versions I provide should work in any ROM within the same Android version.

Thank you

I've tracked down most of the original files you patched and I'll post them in a sec.
@JoshBeach file below contains the original which you can use to compare
And here's a rough guide on how to get it done: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48418925

The original libs that match the patched libs from the OP are attached to this post for comparison and porting purposes
Will update when I track down the snapdragon 600 lib

Some ppl first throw *hit to me simply because they didn't get what they wanted and then come here to ask something. I have no feeling to answer such blacklisted person. If their insulting posts have been deleted, it doesn't change my attitude to them.

I've already found and posted the stock libs for myself and others. Thanks for extending the patch to snapdragon devices, I'll be porting it to other devices soon.

Thank you very very very much

[ FAQs ]
====================================================
Q1 : How to increase the abnormal limitness of volume of earpieces?
A :
http://koganefusube.blog.me/70167096326
SGS4 in South Korea has Yamaha's sound codec(YMU831) and the parameters of all of the volumes can adjustable in rom.
/system/etc/ysound.xml does, and I found that the stock values of them limited in 81.
I just changed from 81 to 100 and tested on my sgs4.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q2 : What recovery can I use?
A :
You can use recoveries for i9500(not 9505) to E300S, E300K(I can't sure for E300L but if you know clearly plz post that)
Now I'm using Chenglu's touch CWM 6.0.2.3 and flashing update.zip and making/restoring CWM backups are working fine.
Chenglu's recovery => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267820
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q3 : How to set the wallpaper in the full resolution without the notification bar?
A :
http://koganefusube.blog.me/70167678454
A way to solve this is editing stock sammy wallpaper application.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q4 : How to root?
A :
1. Change your recovery be CWMed.
Like uppon FAQ, I suggest you Chenglu's CWM Recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267820
2. Download SuperSU v1.32
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
3. Reboot into recovery mode(VolUP + Power + Home button for few seconds)
4. Flash SuperSU v1.32 you downloaded.
5. Reboot your phone.
6. Enjoy
In 20130519, phyb the developer in matcl announced his work. Thx to him if you want and helped by for your geeky smartphone life
※ You'll meet an error if you disabled and re-enabled su via SuperSU. If you do that, a way to reroot as flawless is just rebooting your sgs4. Then, SuperSU will work fine.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q5 : What EQ or audio effect can I use? Stock MusicFX is boring and useless
A :
I suggest you 'ViPER4Android' if you got root your SGS4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
I tested and applied flawless on my SHV-E300S.
It's funtionality is awesome and better than MusicFX or any EQ apps which doesn't require root permissions.
※ Note : Be sure CWM backup first for something unpredicatable situations, and some of functions in this mod consumes battery and system resources much than before you applied.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q6 : I can't access the hidden modes from inputting 319712358 via dial pad to change the settings about RIL
A :
E300S can access skt hidden mode with 'skt hidden mode +'. You can search it on Google Play.
I don't know about other ones(sorry) but if you know about the another way like this post the reply anytime
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q7 : I want to hide the suggested application list when I plug my earbirds at my sgs4. How can I?
A :
Unfortunately, SGS4 doens't have the setting UI about PageBuddy unlike previous sammy android smartphones
So if you want to do that, debloat all of the apps about PageBuddy.
(Or maybe just disable PageBuddyNotiSvc in Settings? I can't sure about this... if someone try and this is the way what I meant, post the reply anytime )
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q8 : My sgs4 mobile data connection looks slow even if I connected in LTE. What should I do to be better?
A :
Disable fast dormacy and disable geltle fair sleeper.
You can use gokhanmoral's FastDormacy toggle in SGS4 to disable fasl dormacy
and you can disable gentle fair sleeper with inputting a line in terminal.
( echo "NO_GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS" > /d/sched_features )
You can apply this code as init.d script or any apps doing like this
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q9 : I want to change the color of notification bar and panel. What should I do?
A :
Install Xposed Framework and Nottach Xposed.
Xposed Framework : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Nottach Xposed : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285074
Note : Nottach Xposed is not for SGS4 in Korea as official so if you meet any bugs in use, that's not a bug. Just not fit for.
Note : Don't change the battery icon. If you do that, Nottach Xposed will be applied as abnormal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q10 : Default background of Holo UI looks not fit for XXHDPI(FHD). Can I change it?
A :
Install Xposed Framework and DitheredHoloBackground
and use the app what I uploaded in this thread.
DitheredHoloBackground : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173001
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q11 : How to remove the carrier logo on the status bar with editing SystemUI.apk?
A :
1) Open the SystemUI.apk with Alzip
2) Go to res\drawble-xxhdpi and change tw_stat_notify_operator_logo.png into a picture filled blank with overwriting that file.
I attached an image file to change.
Note : If you just delete this image file in SystemUI.apk you want to edit and reboot after paste this, you'll be under endless reboot.
3) Paste the SystemUI.apk into your phone and reboot
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q12 : Is there a way to make a CWM backup and restore it as easy?
A :
You can use Online Nandroid Backup and Nandroid Manager,
You can make a CWM backup without rebooting into recovery via Online Nandroid Backup.
(Note : If you want to use this flawless, install busybox stericson's one)
You can restore a cwm backup and flashing 'update.zip's as you want as possible without rebooting into recoveryt via Nandroid Manager.

In other words, it doesn't on latest one.

Here are ME6 rooted kernels which I repacked as supercurio's method.
Choose kernel to be matched with your carrier and flash it via Odin.

For now with latest sammy build, yes. Latest way to root is flashing kernel fixed for. All of latest sgs4s are same on this problem.

One thing that I would do to help make this thread complete is to add the stock non rooted kernels to the OP. That way if someone messes up they can fix their phone without any problems.
I haven't updated to the ME6 firmware yet. I still have the stock firmware (out of the box) MDK. Do I have to update/flash the kernel posted here to root?

If you have stock sammy rom, you don't have to look for the stock kernel.
Just make a copy the stock rom and open the tar package with data compressing softwares(alzip?) and delete files except boot.img in the tar package. Then, that's the stock kernel to turn back.

[MOD][I9505/G][AOSP][4.4]Qualcomm optimized Dalvik + Bionic Android 4.4 libs

Hello Everybody,
as mentioned in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537299, Moto X 4.4 update brought us Qualcomm optimized Dalvik and Bionic libraries, which seems to work on other devices as well. There are several posts around describing performance boost. Let's test and see.
I've repackaged it for SGS4 Google Edition 4.4 ROM (Jamal's) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544474 and prepared also Uninstaller. To uninstall, you can also re-flash the ROM (no need to wipe data). It works well with mentioned Google Edition ROM according to my tests. It may or may not work with other 4.4 AOSP ROMs...
DISCLAIMER: No warranty whatsoever.
IMPORTANT: Do a full backup before testing.
NOTE: There are some uncertainties about ODEX/DEODEX and how does it work with ART. Test and let us know in this thread.
More information about the libraries: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47707613&postcount=2021
All credits go to the authors of mentioned posts.
Attached following CWM flashable ZIPs - installer (motoX_4.4_qcoptimized_sgs4ge.zip), uninstaller (motoX_4.4_qcoptimized_sgs4ge_undo.zip) and original motoX installer (motoX_4.4_qcoptimized.zip, use this one if you run a ROM different to Jamal's, my installer skips few files as they are up to date in Jamal's GE 4.4 already). Flash it, clear cache, dalvik cache (to be on the safe side) and reboot. Good luck!
Nice creation

works very fine on my 4.4 GSG4
It´s a bit faster, but not so much.
your mod work with custom rom in 4.3 [XXUEMK8] or it's only for GE base ?
EDIT :I've my answer, for aosp 4.4. THX
can anyone post benchmark results before and after the patch?
I will give it a try on my GS 4 with aosb custom rom and i will report back
Update: It doesnt work after boot my phone hang up on a random error first time says that Themes has stopeed working and after that that com.phone stopped working.
so, if i've an other Google Edition (BoBCatRom V1 GE 4.4.2) i can install this one : motoX_4.4_qcoptimized.zip ? THX in advance.

AOSP too i think, with my s4 is more smooth. Maybe not more fast or just a little bit but more smooth.
Is it the same as this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2625186
Generally yes, plus they have binaries for CM11.
They don't provide dalvikvm and dexopt binaries for some reason though. (Maybe it's not necessary, can't say)
Will motoX_4.4_qcoptimized_sgs4ge.zip work with Danvdh's GE ROM? Or, do I need to use motoX_4.4_qcoptimized.zip?

[MOD] Enable some hidden Multiwindow features.

Reading Note 3 forums, i've found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50277642
OP discovered some hidden Multiwindow features and created APK which from one side enables these features, and from other side obfuscates it to hide the changes.
I've made additional exploration and found these features on my SHV-E330S(GT-I9506), but more permissions are missed. After adding more permissions i've successfully enabled all these fancy features.
Probably other devices like I9505 and I9500 have (but disabled) these features.
So, what you can expect from this mod:
Floating windows
up to 4 windows displayed side-by-side (instead of 2 max in original version)
Resizable borders for floating windows.
Icons of collapsed windows (displayed on top of any application)
You need to unzip attached file into /system/etc/permissions and then reboot.
It may or may not work for specific device. It also may depend on Android version. People in Note 3 thread report it as not working in KK ROMs, but remember they deal with APK which may work not correctly on KK. Also my zip contains more missed permissions and it may help to enable it on KK.
This works on:
I9506 ROMS: ML5, NA2
I9500 ROMS: MJ8
Let me know on which device and which ROM it works or not.
P.S.: I didn't move to KK yet.
Here is the video of this mod (thanks @tuckersmission)

It may or may not work for specific device. It also may depend on Android version. People in Note 3 thread report it as not working in KK ROMs, but remember they deal with APK which may work not correctly on KK. Also my zip contains more missed permissions and it may help to enable it on KK.
This works on:
I9506 ROMS: ML5, NA2
I9500 ROMS: MJ8
Let me know on which device and which ROM it works or not.
P.S.: I didn't move to KK yet.

I have tried this on my i9506 (SHV-E330S) on kitkat.
But unfortunately, still not working. (The quad view does works but, floating windows are not working)
I heard Note3's floating option is available by Penwindow Launcher app in playstore.

Not now, but maybe It can be possible.
To get floating window from now, use XHaloFloatingWindows on Xposed Framework Modules or Try below links to get pen window (simillar feature with floating windows)

I didn't migrate to KitKat yet because i'm waiting for kernel source code. I will look into possibility to enable it without Xposed hacks when i will install KitKat.
Actually, floating windows are more gimmick than real useful function. Application inside such window has truncated view.
For now to get floating window I use floating app mod + Gmd Air command and it work well.
is it working on i9505 too?
EDIT:
yes, it is! i tested it on my i9505 with carHD rom 15.1
there are some screenshots.
Many Thanks to YOU! Works like a Charm.
Hello

Any modification in system folder requires root.
Or if you know how to inject files into system.img.ext4 firmware part, then you can pre-inject the files and then flash through Odin. In this case root isn't required.
I have to say, I think this mod is great. I cant believe its not more popular :-/
I find myself using the Multiwindow launcher more than my App tray now. I agree for most apps the 'floating windows' are not very practical, however, I do seem to find myself using it a lot.
Hi everyone.
Is there any way to have this in my I9506 4.2.2 Stock rom?
I have tried this but nothing happens. :crying:
Thanks

Dont be sorry for ur english, just dont quote the whole op..

[I9506][OFFICIAL][5.0.1] Lollipop build I9506XXUDOA6 out!

Hey mate
Just want to let you know that the new firmware is out for LTE-A version of the galaxy s4 (GT-I9506).
Instruction:
0. If you like, make a backup of your current rom or wipe everything to make a clean install (depends on you)
1. Download latest version from here: Sammobile
2. Extract the file
3. Reboot to download mode (volume down and power together)
4. Make sure all samsung drivers installed
5. Connect phone to pc
6. Download odin3.09
7. Click AP and select the tar.md5 file
8. Let all settings as they are!
9. Hit start and wait
This wont void your warranty because it is an official update! Knox stays 0x0!
Would it be safe to flash this ROM onto the i9505 which I have?
I don't think so
I9506 = Snapdragon 800
I9505 = Snapdragon 600

Just did a Google search and saw the same. However, processor is from the same family, only frequency is higher. Maybe better to wait for the real thing. Should come perhaps next week already? LJ [emoji106]

You have the same devices as me
S4 LTE-A was always updated after official S4. So I think this is the last test before actually release it for the international version. So it will be here soon!
Pretty good news!
Did anyone try it?
Does old root method work?
I`m downloading now and will make mirror soon.
Tried the Slovakian version.......and man I'm in love with what Sammy did......drastic changes over the KitKat version, Wifi works, battery life remains the same which i used to get on stock KK......overall the bloatware is really trimmed down
Now just trying to root it......I'm trying to use the guides which users posted for rooting GS5 on Lollipop, hope the similar method works.......fingers crossed

Can't trigger it by time!
The Downtime option is simply not available, see my attached screenshot...

Works in German I-GT9505?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
Kernel
I flashed it everything works well. The only thing i dislike is that i find it sometimes not responsive. In the past I had installed Cyanogenmod 12 lollipop and found it more reactive. The only thing that makes me stay on official samsung release is the camera app
that I find good and cant install it on cyanogenmod because of touchwiz needed for it to work.
Is it possible to flash another kernel on it ? I Know Arter97 kernels but it do not support i9506 for the moment.

Of course Not! Different Hardware (S600 vs. S800).
Google said SD permissions will be fixed in L. Quickpic and ES file explorer still require constand root directory directions and its annoying. Fixing the permissions like in KK seems to have fixed the problem.
thanks

Hello
I want to share with you my brand new Pseudo-Stereo tweak/mod for our i9505 (yeah, another "Stereo Surround Sound" mod)
It's a flashable zip for TWRP/CWM
Briefly, it uses both speakers (front and rear) for media playback in the most equilibrated way, providing highest levels without clipping (so much) at maximum volume.
To achieve this, i have fine adjusted and added some values into one system file related to audio that is present in CM12, CM12.1, and TW LOLLIPOP.
It will only work on Snapdragon 600 based S4, cause Exynos 5410 based S4 (I9500) has a different audio chip.
I have only tested on CM12/12.1, if you like to try on TW lollipop, make a backup of your "/system/etc/snd_soc_msm/snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3" file, anyway, it won't hurt, but i'ts better to be safe.
It's compatible with viper4android (recommended) and faux audio.
The zip also installs renamed stock CM12/12.1 file in the same folder.
(If you manually replace the original file, you must give it 0644 permissions or your system won't boot.)
I hope you enjoy it!

@*Exynos* it should only work on snapdragon 600 cause as i know, the file that routes audio on the exynos based is "/system/etc/mixer_paths.xml"
if you cand send me that original file, possibly i can modify it to work.
regards

if you (or anybody) can, send me a stock touchwiz lollipop 9500 "/system/etc/mixer_paths.xml" file i will appreciate it. i'm some confused about this xml structure.
it's completely different from i9505 cause different hardware, ain i haven't a system to test it so, the mod remains only for i9505.
anyway, thanks
It does not work on stock i9505 TW lollipop. I flashed it but there is no sound from the front speaker.

can you send me your original "/system/etc/snd_soc_msm/snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3" file?

I zipped the file before I attached it. It's not allowing me to attach it with the default format.
