Merry Christmas!!

What is the preferred active display vs. lock screen config if I prefer active display. They seem to be competing a bit on unlock.

Is there a simple way to just have active display be the unlock screen? Disable lock screen, for example?

Wurd.

Hi all. Is there an option to display the day of the week and date in status bar? And Happy Holidays to all and your family's!

I downloaded the stock firmware and flashed it in odin and not sure how but now the Task rom is working. It is really fast and I just installed gapps and am about to test it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wdeydwondrer:
I had the same issue. Couldn't really figure out a decent way of setting it up while still being able to lock my phone so had to just turn off active display. If you didn't care about locking the phone then disabling it should get rid of any competition, lol

I am a flashing Noob. I am completely stock and unfortunately upgraded OTA to 4.3. I am really wanting to flash AOKP. I noticed that Task stated that his Rom is not compatible with 4.3 MJB boot loader. What are my options as to getting this Rom on my AT&T phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] grubby0:
The information on bootloaders is in the FAQ. My advice is to read up as much as possible on bootloaders because you can turn your phone into a paperweight jacking with them. They are not something you want to mess around with too much.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
Seeing as how you are now stuck indefinitely on that bootloader your only option to flashing this ROM is to modify the updater_script. Thats as much information i will give specifically since Task has up until now chosen not to support MJB.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
This ^^^ and I've already given instructions on how to do this. grubby0 has also taken time out of his days to update and put together the beautiful FAQ which contains soooo much useful information for 98% of the questions asked in this thread. People just need to take a few minutes to actually read it. ;)

I havent updated my phone since build 5.5.2013 I just checked and my bootloader is i747ucdlk3 so to update the newest install I dont have to update it right?

Also whats the best app to backup apps so I can easily reinstall them after the update?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ian1331:
The FAQ in the OP of this very thread says "you will need UCDLK3 bootloader for all updates after 5-17..." so if you're planning to install tasks latest 4.3 rom, you should be good to go. Even if you had the wrong bootloader, the install would either pass or fail, so no harm would be done to try it.

I think the majority would agree Titanium Backup is the golden ticket to app backup/restore. Keep in mind restoring system apps/data will likely bung your setup and you'll get FC out the yang. Restore all user apps with data and exclude system apps/data and you'll be good to go.

Random reboots

Hello!

i've been having random reboots and force closes on apps running and crashing, i've attached both the Jan 5th set and Jan 8th set of the random reboots and crashes (LOGCAT and last_kmsg).

If you need more, I can probably make the device crash again. I seem to be pretty good at doing that.

Also, this is a fresh install/up to date, followed OP to the T. Using TWRP (latest version).

Thanks task! Great rom!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
That has nothing to do with this ROM or any ROM. That is a Google app. You should contact Google for support or questions about their apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Reechings:
I couldn't figure out why the same version of maps from the same gapps package would have the preview on your ROM and AOKP and not on other ROMs so I thought there might be something else I was missing. I thought if anyone knew it would be you so I asked here. I will email Google and ask about using their app on a custom ROM and wait patiently for their reply. Thanks.

Wouldn't reinstalling the kernel resolve this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Kinked:
You could try wiping system, cache, dalvik and reinstalling the ROM, gapps, and kernel

That will keep your data intact.

Backup first as always
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Kinked:
I do it all the time. If you don't believe me use titanium to back up your app data.

Just go into recovery and do am advanced wipe of the system partition only. You will lose your system preferences. Google apps are backed up through google servers so your email and stuff will be fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theramsey3:
And the problem lies??? Sometimes you have to bite the bullet... Use titanium backup to back up all of your data. Wipe everything reinstall titanium backup then restore all of your data. If that no workie you reinstall everything manually.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikecantreed:
There are other free restore apps that do batch restores besides Titanium. Also the play store downloads your apps automatically. Not sure what you mean about wasting your bandwidth bc that doesn't make sense (don't explain it to me bc I don't care).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cehf:
a previously posted method would work fine. just don't do a factory reset. wipe /system, dalvik, cache and reinstall and your apps should still be intact. you might have to update some google apps but that won't cut too much into your precious 3gb.

Reboot

I've been having some random reboots, sometimes it can be triggered under heavy load or after a few hours of standby.

Lately it has actually stopped my alarms from going off in the morning causing them to go off randomly hours later,

Unfortunately I couldn't just grab the last kernel message this morning but instead grabbed the logcat in hopes it contained something helpful (Unfortunately I feel it may be a bit excessive in size).

I've attempted to Hibernate as many unnecessary apps as I could to narrow down software issues.

This has been my daily since release and it's only now giving me problems. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Currently using 4.3.1 JLS36I Build 10.31.2013

Kernel 3.4.66 ktoonsez g1ded067
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
I don't really know much in terms of troubleshooting from log cats, but you did mention this has been your daily since release which was late October. I also use the 10-31 as my daily and recently noticed the phone seemed sluggish at times in certain apps. Every once and a while now I will clear the cache in many of my apps. I'll leave the data, but clearing the cache seems to help from time to time.

Random Reboots

Hello,

I've been encountering random reboots on my phone during light, moderate and heavy load or while being entirely idle. I'm currently using Ktoonsez 3.4.66 however I had the same issues with kernel included with this rom, which I why I had flashed. I've done several factory and system formats but I'm still running into these issues. I am currently running 4.3.1 JLS36I Build 10.31.2013. I attached the last_kmsg with hopes that someone can tell me what's going on.

Thank You!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
I could be wrong but if your last_kmsg is from Ktoonsez kernel, there's not much task can do here. I see where you're coming from but task will not be able to troubleshoot anything with his rom if you have flashed anything outside of what's in the op.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Scrion:
You're correct, I used the app bundled with the kernel to get the last_kmsg. That's attached. Should I flash back to Task's kernel?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikecantreed:
How would Task be able to provide trouble shooting for someone else's kernel?

I remind everyone to please read the FAQ before posting in this or Tasks ROM thread. I still see questions being asked that have been asked and answered hundreds of times, therefore have been answered in the first 3 posts of this thread (hence the term FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS). This will alleviate unnecessary posts that Task has to sift through which takes away from his already busy schedule with his job and working on KitKat for everyone. Thanks.

Quick Question on MMS Video

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick question hoping someone can help me with -- been running the July 20th "B" build of the ROM and it's been running great, no real issues. I did have a question on MMS Video recording though -- right now the MMS Video Timer only allows a 5 second recording time. I went into the Video settings in the Camera and tried adjusting the JPEG quality to "Medium" and "Low" but the 5 second timer remained.

I recall most phones gave you 15 seconds, is there any way to change this 5 second setting? I did try doing a search, but didn't find anything specific on the timer.

Thanks in advance,

Chris
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ian1331:
I'm no expert at this but I believe you'd have to modify one of the source files of the messaging app for the default time/size of a video mms. Or consider using a non-stock messaging app (check play store for too many choices).

Hey task (or whoever else might help) love the ROM..only one I've used for over a year..its rock solid..I haven't been here in forum for ages cuz never need anything but something is up and curious on your take.

Lately been getting a lot of random reboots (odd one here or there is no big deal but very frequent now).. Its been a while since an update or just a clean flash. So no prob to do so...I'm due tbh..but I want to backup first..have TWRP installed amd used for ages (and to do all installs of this ROM and backups etc) but when I load into recovery I get reboots in there too! Basically if I let it load and just let it sit on the menu screen its fine for as long as I've left it...but as soon as I click on backup..I have about 10 seconds, then a freeze and reboot....every time...so can't even do a nand bu before ROM update/reload

Firstly...could this mean I have hardware issue?

Second, what can I do or what u suggest?

Btw i used to use 3rd party kernel..ktoonez but have long since left as stock kernel with the ROM since about 6-8 months ago.

Thoughts?

Thanks

1.) Post logs that help

2.) Fully wipe your device

3.) Maybe reflash recovery

4.) Reflash ROM

Nope. I didn't miss it. I just know that recoveries have nothing to do with the ROM on this device. They are on a separate partition. You would need to contact that recoveries developer to try and figure out why that issue is happening. Kinda why I said to try and flash a recovery again in my list of things for you to attempt to relieve the issue. I'm not sure what to tell you otherwise. :)

You have a couple options for flashing recovery. Use goo.im app to auto flash (TWRP). Fastboot. Or Odin. I would try either of those out. You don't need to backup before attempting to flash a recovery. ;)

I'm going to be refurbishing my phone in a few days.

New screen, qi charging, new battery. Mostly because the s5 didn't inspire me to upgrade!

On software, what would you do to refresh the phone? I was thinking of just clean wiping and re-install rom(on latest task rom) but I remember reading that won't completely wipe past partitions.

Any tips on what you would do to have the cleaner and fresh install back?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
There are a ton of tutorials and posts on how to wipe and different ways that users use to wipe. I would just search around the forums here. The information is already out there. ;)

I remember a while back before you got your gs4 people were asking whether you were upgrading or not. I'm pretty sure this was the thread they used.

I saw on your Google plus page you posted a build for the nexus 5. Do you own that device as well? Also, what phone do you plan on upgrading to next if you are planning to upgrade? Xperia Z2? Gs5? Just curious because that will influence my decision on my next phone :)

You definitely aren't the only one. I am one as well. It's actually funny to think of how many users on here are picking the same phone as Task just so we can use his ROM. When you see stuff like that, you know it is a quality product.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
Absolutely.. I wouldn't buy a phone solely based on that alone but it does play a factor as his roms are not half assed and filled with bugs. And actually if you think about it, task provides better support for his rom than most carriers do lol.

First of all, Thank you Task650, for bringing us KK, been strictly using your roms for about a year now, been truly the best experience I've ever had with a mobile device.

I have a small question, any answers greatly appreciated :)

The first time I flashed, in the status bar, It displayed the name I typed in during the setup.

I reflashed the rom(Full Wipe), typed my name again during the initial setup, and now I get OWNER in place of my name.

I've tried reflashing several times, with no luck, still says owner, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, been searching for an answer for a little while now

It's a very minor aesthetic thing, but appreciate any feedback
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
That has nothing to do with the ROM itself. That's a Google/Google+ thing. Login to your google account or g+. That's how the owner is changed from a generic to a specific user. ;)

Navigation ring is always enabled, regardless if you have the on screen nav bar enabled.

Can't edit apns, but you can create new ones. Last release I couldn't do either, so this is still definitely better :)

Phone app has updated in 4.4 so when you load the app, you're not presented with the dial pad right away. I can't find an option for that, so I might just have to get used to it.

History function is missing from the calculator, not a big issue since the cm calculator is available in the play store.

Yeah, seems like the download was bad, thanks.

Will old ROM control options be making a comeback over time?

Charging LED indicator not working here either.

You can set it under hardware keys in ROM control
