The first ones are already near Android 5.0 Lollipop Roms nightilys for many of the devices that Cyanogenmod has included in its long list of terminals that will be supported by the great community of Android developers par excellence. So much so that you can already smell the first Roms in the Alpha state, even so, like the one that I will comment on below for the Samsung Galaxy GT-I4 S9505 international model with processor Snapdragon.
First of all it is to tell you that these Roms are still in a state considered as Alpha, which means that they are not valid for daily use, if not rather for flash them and try them for a little while to take off your jumpsuit and know that our Samsung Galaxy S4 rolling Android Lollipop unofficially.
If you are interested in testing them directly on your Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505Next, I am going to explain what does not work at the moment, more than anything so that you are warned, in addition to explaining step by step the method of flashing the Rom so that you enjoy Samsung Galaxy S4 rolling Android Lollipop and you can feel the experience of this new version of Android in your own flesh.
Before you start flashing this First Android 5.0 Lollipop Rom for Samsung Galaxy S4, I advise you that first from the modified Recovery you make a nadroid backup of your entire current system, thus, if you want to return to your current version you will achieve it in a very simple way while preserving all your applications and data.
Things not working yet
- External SD
- NFC
- Some other problem with the reception of calls, although apparently in the last update, the one on the 20th, they would have been solved.
In principle these are the bugs or failures reported by users of XDA, although given its Alpha status, some more could be presented.
Android Lollipop installation method on Samsung Galaxy S4 international model
To be able to test in our Samsung Galaxy S4 International Model This First Rom Android Lollipop, logically we will have to have a previously Rooted terminal and with the Modified Recovery installed and updated to its latest available version.
The files needed to install the Rom are limited to two files, that of the Rom itself that we can download from this same link, and that of native Google applications or gapps which we can download from here.
Once downloaded We will copy them without decompressing in the internal memory of the Samsung Galaxy S4 that we want to flash.
Once these requirements are met, we will only have to reboot in recovery mode and follow these simple steps:
- Wipe data factory reset
- Wipe cache partition
- Advanced / wipe dalvik cache
- Go back
- Install zip from internal sdcard
- choose zip
- We select elo zip from the Rom and confirm its installation
- Choose zip again
- We select the zip of the gapps and confirm its installation
- Reboot system now.
With this we can test on our Samsung Galaxy S4 Android 5.0 Lollipop and see all the good and renewed that the new version of the Mountain View operating system brings with it.
