The J version of Semaphore is fully working on 4.4 stock, don't even need to flash the WiFi fix.

This is because the transparent status bars are a feature of the Google Experience Launcher which is exclusive to the N5, if you sideload the Google Now and Launcher from the Nexus 5 you will have this, the N4 uses the older Launcher2 even for KitKat.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] C4SCA:
No need to side load google search (google now) its already updated on the factory images... Only sideload the launcher

Google Search is a tiered roll out, it depends on if you have received the new one or not.

Why are you all talking about kit Kat features in a 4.3 kernel thread? Just curious.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Crisisx1:
1.7.6j + wifi fix + rastakat 4.4 + art = blazing fast.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] DontPushButtons:
Because this kernel is leading a secret double life. It is also fond of KitKats.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Barbatos19:
what does the binaries stands for? if i flashed factory images do i also need to flash the binaries/?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] thracemerin:
The binaries are for building AOSP, you can ignore them entirely if you flashed the factory images.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] DontPushButtons:
^^^

Nope, edit: what fast-fingers there said ;)

I think kernel devs are still waiting for kernel source though..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Crisisx1:
Is this an OK score?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Barbatos19:
thanks a lot for replying :). I downloaded the occam 4.4 and edited the flash-all.bat and remove the -w. does it mean that im good to run the flash-all.bat and my files wont be remove? got this tutorials here " http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...riants-of-nexus-7-2012-and-2013-and-nexus-10/ "
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] thracemerin:
Possibly, if you were on stock then it should be fine. If you are coming from a custom ROM (anything other than the stock factory images for 4.3) there is a good chance it either won't work or you will run into issues in the long run so it would be better to wipe.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Kocai:
It won't pass the boot animation if you're not on stock factory images. I tried that method before.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Barbatos19:
how about sideloading the factory image? does it go well? im on PA 3.99rc 2? any suggestions? or should i restore my stock rom first then do the flashing>?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] thracemerin:
If you go back to stock 4.3 you will also have to wipe your data, just do the procedure from the guide you have with the wipe.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] aLPaSLaN07:
1/10 , when recieving or making a phonecall, my phone reboots. I click "call" button and reboots. Same happens when somebody calls me. Before the screen turns on, phone rings, no screen on and reboot.. It happened after 1.7.6. Last kernel message log can be usefull to detect the bug?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kandarpck:
Is it just me or are there terrible lags in the 4.4 factory image. :(

PS: Wiped everything
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] beje86:
I did exactly that with that ROM removing the "-w" in the KK factory image script to avoid the wipe and it went to crap. Looked like it worked nice for a moment but I instantly noticed that the Home button didn't work and that GEL (that I had installed previously) was FC'ing every few minutes. Tried to reboot and then it rendered itself unusable as GEL was FC'ing nonstop, not allowing me to do anything at all.

Long story short, make a backup of your stuff and then install cleanly.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] deeppans:
WiFi not turning on

Upgraded or installed KitKat using Google's factory images. Used flash-all script ( I did NOT removed -w parameter meaning wiped everythig)

Installed Semaphore 1.7.6j and phone got booted.

However WiFi is NOT turning on. Please help.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] snak3ater:
Now that you've flashed Semahore in 4.4..Do one more thing..

Flash stock 4.4 kernel..You will find it in Dev section..There are flashable zips..

Flash this file

Then flash Semaphore again...See if wifi works..

Thanks WiFi issue resolved.

But I am not getting what the issue is? Can someone please explain why WiFi does NOT work with Semaphore 1.7.6j on KitKat?

Is it like KitKat has new / better / different wifi driver while Semaphore uses the old one (because Stratosk dont have the required binaries for KitKat)?

And the dePRIMAtor.zip file gives the compatible driver for Semaphore 1.7.6j?

Another question, why I need to flash dePRIMAtor.zip first and then Semaphore?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] thracemerin:
Apparently KitKat uses a newer version of PRIMA (the wifi driver) which is incompatible with the older version that is currently supported by the jellybean kernel, so you have to roll back the driver components to the jellybean version until Google releases the official KK sources (which should be soon).

You don't have to flash dePRIMAtor first, you can flash them in either order since all it does is modify some binaries that aren't changed by the kernel.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2527879
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] thracemerin:
Further to this point, kitkat uses prima version 3.2.3.10, the jellybean kernel uses 3.2.2.17. Prima is open source and available from CAF so it would be theoretically possible to patch it and build a Semaphore version with the new prima without full sources from Google, but that would require stratosk to pull and patch it, given that the dePRIMAtor zip works I'm not sure it's worth the effort.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] snak3ater:
So do you think that the kernel in 4.3 & 4.4 both are more or less the same having few changes:confused:

I am on old Prima & using Semaphore in kitkat factory image.Everything is fine.Will keep on using it until Semaphore gets released with new Prima..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] thracemerin:
The kernel string suggests that there are commits beyond the ones for the 4.3 JSS AOSP kernel included, what those are exactly I'm not sure, obviously it includes a newer version of prima at the very least, given that things seem to work without obvious glaring issues I would assume that the changes are minor but without sources I can't say with 100% certainty.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Kocai:
I'm a little bit confused. Can we use Semaphore J version on 4.4 AOSP without the Wi-Fi fix?

Sent from my Nexus⁴
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] OsSkates1996:
Which one works for 4.3 jwr?:)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] thracemerin:
It all depends on how they're building AOSP, if they are building it with the proper prima binaries and configuration files from the jellybean source tree then you shouldn't need to flash a fix, if they aren't then you might need to, the only way to know for sure would be to flash an AOSP build, then flash Semaphore J version and boot, if you have no wifi then you would need to flash the dePRIMAtor zip, if you have wifi then it's fine.

The non-J version.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] deeppans:
Wi-Fi will be broken if you use Semaphore 1.7.6j courtesy Prima driver. [MENTION=4770534]Sak3ater[/MENTION] has a post on this forum, refer it to flash dePRIMA.zip for compatible Wifi driver.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] OsSkates1996:

---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

I've tested semaphore on most of the AOSP kitkat roms.. also tried it on factory image.. All working great except wifi.. but the old prima version solved wifi issue.. I've tested jwr kernel in 4.4 as well... it also works but you have to flash the screen tearing mod plus old prima driver..

No, it does not support faux sound. It will probably run on the newest slimkat (i haven't tried myself so can't say 100%), you will likely need the dePRIMAtor zip file as well.

Has google already released all the necessary code actually?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Holer Togni:
I'm running Rastakat 11/15 with Semaphore 1.7.6j. The dePRIMAtor patch was needed to get WiFi working, so I flashed it after Semaphore and everything is fine now. WiFi latency, speed etc. all good. Also all sensors are working fine including GPS and compass.

Battery life is amazing, my personal record for sot will easily get broken tonight.

About the dalvik add-on: I can only say that I've tried that old 4.3 S4 dalvik patch and unsurprisingly it made my mako bootloop ;)

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Burn02:
Hello, i was loocking to understand what does boost option and do not find any explaination

The question is, if i undervolt does:

-X with boost option (+25mv

-Y=(X+25mv) with no boost option)

are the same? The table of UV says the same values, but is it really the same?

Or does it mean that in idle with the first option the voltage is X and the +25mv comes only in some case?

I was looking for an anwser and find your post that says:

This answer suprise me:

Slow cpu, are normally cpu that do not oc a lot. So it would be more logical that such a batch should need more voltage to be ok. So the result should be enabled for slow and off for the other to maintain the stock frequency.

Or do you want to says that slow cpu got Y and other X voltage so the better cpu could waste less battery?

Thank's a lot for anwser, and for your great work!!! :)

Is it possible to have the max gpu frequency on semaphore manager? (to downclock it to 200 (or a little i do not remember what i have tested with trisker before) as i do not play game and has it change nothing visual on the desktop and surf)

touch wake helps you to turn your screen ON without pressing the power button , u just have to touch the screen

You set up a time limit ( lets say 20 seconds) , when ur screen goes off , u can turn it on again by touching the screen within those 20 seconds.

If u dont wake it up within that time , then u will have to press power button to wake the device again.
