So guys i've seen that there is a lot of custom roms for the i9500 out there . but neither of them are fully working with samsung stuff . i personally like samsung link , allshare apps and find my mobile app. (im not from the US ) on stock rom the find my mobile web app recognize my phone as online normally. BUT on custom roms it appears always as offline (even if the samsung link works) .. so i beleave it has to be an gps module or an especific module wich is deleted on debloated roms .
So does any of you know wich one is?
I rooted my N9005 yesterday and have tried a number of roms, such as the roms taken from Note 5 / S6 Edge (Norma, DarkLord roms 5.0 and 5.1). I've also just tried a custom rom taken from official Note 3 Lollipop firmware.
All have the following issue : Netflix will not play any video - it keeps saying loading. BBC I player's video is choppy and out of sync. Youtubes 720p 60fps pauses frequently and 1080p 60fps freezes the video completely (not audio).
I've flashed back a KitKat custom rom and the video problems are gone.
Any suggestions on what might be wrong. I'm guessing it makes no difference but it's a Vodafone Australia handset that I'm using in the UK with EE (using the UK country code when installing rom).
Did you flash the Lollipop ROM freshly? I mean after a complete wipe?
I've used Team Win Recovery Project and each time completely wiped the phone each time. The Kitkat rom I used without problem was the Alliance rom. I am just about to try and flash a Lollipop 5.0 rom from Alliance - not sure if the same problem will be there.
[edit] Exactly the same issue using the Alliance 5.0 rom... choppy iPlayer not in sync, and continuously loading on Netflix.
I'll put it back to Alliance rom for 4.4 for now. Can't live without Netflix!
Other things I've tried:
Installing the 5.0/5.1 roms using CWM rather than TWRP doesn't solve the video issue. (CWM Aroma Installer fails to start, so been using TWRP on roms that use Aroma).
Neither does clearing caches through recovery.
Neither does enabling/disabling NU player/Awesome Player in developer settings.
On Alliance 5.0 rom I found liboemcrypto.so in system/vendor/lib, deleted it, cleared cache in recovery/rebooted, no difference.
On DarkLord N5 rom I deleted liboemcrypto.so.bak I think it was called, which I found in system/vendor/lib/ (which i think is the backup file).. liboemcrypto.so wasn't there to delete in the DarkLoard N5 rom and there was no file in system/lib like that. It didn't make a difference.
Could it have anything to do with it being an Australian handset, anything to do with the modem or some video kodex/player thing not getting updated/flashed properly. I'm just making stuff up now.
Hi,
I have a problem with my S4 i9505 : for few days, it's impossible to watch videos on my phone without lag or freeze...
When I play a video from Youtube or phone internal storage, the video plays for few seconds and then, the image freezes and the sound continues...
Next, the video restart but the image and the sound aren't synchronized.
It's very boring!
Is there a fix for this problem?
Thanks in advance!
I have that problem too and the only fix seems to be rebooting the device every (or every other) day.
I'm also having this issue... anyone aware of a fix?
What rom are you guys running?

Hi,
At the moment I am running the stock ROM of the s4. i9505.
I am NOT currently rooted and the baseband version is I9505XXUHOJ2 - this is the latest version for BTU.
A reboot does fix the issue for a few hours but it can get irratating - I've tried a factory reset and another flash in Odin but it hasn't fixed it.
Thanks.

Have you tried a different player?
Maybe it's done kind of memory leak.
It's more to do with videos that play through apps such as the Youtube, BBC News videos (through the app) etc which lag so I don't see how a different player would help?
I have this too, it is on every app.
The video stops for 1 second while the sound is still playing in the background and then the sound lags.
Tried delete cache from recovery but then my phone crashes.
Touchwiz...
Then it's a touchwiz problem. Thank samsung for that. I use youtube on an aosp custom marshmallow rom and videos play just fine.
Which rom? Lol
There is only one aosp marshmallow rom, and that is the one from jdc team. Every other rom is some kind of cm13 variation or based on cm13.
I am running a custom rom dn4 on note 2...all the vr apps work but when I try to use YouTube and street view the card board icon is a no show.. Any ideas.. I'm updated on all fronts but no dice.
Have you actually tried that on stock rom, if yes then it's probably roms problem, because sometimes rom devs change the youtube support or something like that.
So you have two choices:
Get back to stock rom
Try another rom
The choice is yours:laugh:
Same here.:crying:
I moved to the custom ROM LineageOS 19.1 (Android 12) and so far I really like it.
But what I miss from the ASOP are the Samsung Gallery and the Samsung Camera. They worked well for me and I currently evaluate alternatives.
But what I also tried, installing this apps from the APKs I backuped. But this doesn't work. The Samsung Galaxy Store says that f.e. the Gallery app isn't compatible.
Is it even possible?
