I realised my mistake. I should have flashed my phone with the stock me2 rom first. I just used the mde one. Did a successful flashing with 3.1. Awesome!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] NadMaj:
@ AT&T/T-Mobile/Verizon/Sprint users:

to those who has successfully flashed omega it would be appreciated if you can post here the detailed steps you made in flashing omega...

so everytime someone asks we can just provide links to your post to avoid "back and forth" questions. this is still a I9505 thread so we must keep topics about U.S variants to minimum so I9505 users don't get confused...

P.S. - i have been talking to indie about you guys and when aroma comes up let's see if maybe we can make an option for U.S variant users so upon flashing proper modem/kernel/etc will be flashed for you like we did in Omega Note 10.1..

but it's too early to tell if it's possible so let's just hope this can happen..

I cant why every time i flash omega rom my wifi is not working i have to flash adam kernel to get wifi back...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] redviper52:
I am using a Singapore set with Singtel.

The steps are took are as advised:

1. Flash to stock XXUAME2 rom using odin.

2. The wifi and LTE worked.

3. Using Odin, I flashed the TWRP recovery. Not difficult to get the phone into download mode.

4. Quite a job to get the phone to recovery. Managed to get it done after a few tries. Once in, I installed the Omega 3.1 ROM. Took quite a while. I did not do any clearing ... system, cache, dalvik etc. Just installed the ROM and waited. Took quite a while.

5. When done, did a reboot. After the initial startup animation, optimizing of apps... the phone is up and running.

Thanks ...

Hello I am using stock official ME3

I haven'y modified anything or flash the phone yet

Just wanna try this rom but discovered that I have to revert back to ME2 first

Is the ME2 flashable for all i9505 or it's limited to some local version?

Thx in advance

For people with allshare problems: I found that for me all the allshare apk are missing from system/app. I restored them from omega 3.0 zip fixed permissions and at least remote playback from the samsung video app works now. (Top left button in player)

Can't test screen mirroring, my tv is not compatible and I don't have a miracast or allshare media device. So if someone else can.

For clarity. My defenition of screen mirroring is cloning the phones screen on an external monitor.

Good luck.

Ps: [MENTION=330929]indie[/MENTION] Did you deliberately remove the allshare apk's?

Tmo user here. I wiped cache and dalvik, installed Omega, and booted up. Wifi didn't work, so I flashed ktoonsez kernel in recovery, and wifi worked fine.

I don't have LTE in my area so I couldn't test that.

I can't get SIP / Internet calling to show up in the settings. Maybe a CSC issue?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mike216:
Thanks in going for it tomorrow. No LTE neither but I'll worry about that when we get there. This rom seems clean like I like them and has the nice dark UI features that the international version has. Will donate also when I get back up. Thanks team omega.

There should be enough info for any t-mobile or AT&T users who want to flash this rom. Look a page or two back and you'll find all the info one needs. ;)

As far as I am concerned there is no drawback to stock kernel. ONLY stock kernel supports SCREEN MIRRORING to your large HDTV..

I just flash the new bootloder and modem with odin and I still have old bootloader and modem (MK8) anyone has the same problem?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] NemoKOF:
The EASIEST fix for this is to TEMPORARY flash the original firmware containing new bootloader and modems through ODIN before you flash Omega. That way all needed stuff is flashed (also after you flash it, you have to flash Custom Recovery again and it will trigger KNOX warranty status). But as you ware willing to flash new bootloader - I'm assuming you already know this.

Love Omega ROM (haven't used it for a while, as being trying out CM11). But am having a little bit of trouble with turning on WiFi (whenever I do, it turns off a second later).

Have searched the thread and most posts mention "READ THE OP"!!! I have...

I have the new boot loader

I have the new modem (see baseband in pic below)

I have "full wiped" and even run the ROMNuke scripts.

I am using PhilZ touch (version 6.10.2)

WiFi works fine with this modem on CM11, but wont stay turned on when I flash Omega 21. Anyone got any suggestions?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MVKA:
Hello

Baseband shows your GSM modem.

You need to update also your LTE modem.

Just flash that and I'm pretty sure you have working wifi after that.

-MVKA
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ruskin0611:
Thanks MVKA, but doesn't the modem pack link (in post 19123) include both LTE and GSM modems?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SherlockHolmes2013:
Oddball kernel.

For all you kernel freaks. They give very little in extra performance and you lose the ability to SCREEN MIRROR.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ruskin0611:
ktoonsez kernel is quite good, as you can tweak a few things (that aren't available in the stock CM kernel).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MVKA:
Yes it does include both, but your problem sounds like LTE modem ain't flashed correctly. It ain't harm if you try flash it again or search just LTE modem and flash only that.

-MVKA
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SherlockHolmes2013:
But can you use SCREEN MIRRORING? one of the great things about the S4.

I don't think so.

Here is my opinion. Samsung makes their phones to all users can use all the functions.

The tweaks you speak of can be found using Xposed installer.

I ask you ONCE more, can you utiliize Miracast devices with KLOWN kernel?

I use my S4 as a PC by mirroring it to my 52 inch HDTV . using bluetooth keyboard and mouse., I plug in OTG cable and 1TB USB hard drive formatted EXFAT.

You cannot do that with a ROM with custom kernel. so therefore I will stay with stock,

I get almost 30k in Antutu with the stock kernel.

Can Klown kernel do that?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] NemoKOF:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SherlockHolmes2013:
I could recommend a few but then you would lose probably one of the best and most unique functions of the phone, the ability to mirror your screen to a large HDTV in 1080p. Only works with STOCK kernel, which thankfullly Indie baked into V21. Otherwise I wouldn't use this Omega ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Rayfucious:
Oh sure, i do not use screen mirror so i am fine without that function. What are the recommendations ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SherlockHolmes2013:
You might not use screen mirror but thousands do,

Take your search to another thread that deals with kernels, please.

Or don't you know how to use Google or the search function?

Question for you. Doesn't your phone work well with the stock kernel? Mine does and its gets almost 30k in Antutu.

Another question. Do you think Samsung would sell crippled devices to its customers?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Rayfucious:
And you said you could recommend a few ? thousands do but not everyone who uses samsung have to use that amazing function call screen mirror, and for your info, everyone got different usages for their phone, i am not doubting the stock kernel, but there just pp who like to custom their kernels like me. same as rom. If stock samsung is so good ? what are you doing here then ? loLz.

Asking because Samsung offers 50gb of free dropbox storage but you need to have dropbox preinstalled on the phone and I'm pretty sure I turned it off during the installation. Is it possible to get it installed from the rom without reflashing?

I am trying to install v21, but I cannot get the modem to flash through odin, the bootlader flashed fine, but the modem fails. I cannot get any modem to flash at all with odin, they all fail. I have tried Odin 3.04 and 3.09.

After this I get to the kies-recovery screen. If I flash cwm on the phone with odin, it boots again with my previous rom and it seems that the modem did flash, perhaps only the gsm-modem then?

What can I try to get the modem to flash correctly?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] NemoKOF:
Mate, Antutu is not what we feel when using phone. Samsung is known for altering the results of benchmarks by software tricks. Also - if STOCK is soooo coool why do write stuff here? This is stock based but CUSTOM rom right? Do Samsung sell cripled devices? No. But they sell maaaaaany things which many people don't use and this is why customs are made, also considering kernel functions. If you are fine with stock - let it be. Also - screen mirror is compatible with Samsung TV's but Miracast is somehow cripled in Samsung roms and sometime it doesn't work on different brand TV's. I have 50" TV which is NOT Samsung's. I have Raspberry Pi connected to it and I can send through DLNA movies or music to my TV, I don't need that function and I can bet, that if we would ask people and make a poll, more than 50% would say that they do NOT use this function at all. For me Smart Stay (but it is not perfect) and Glove Mode are the most interesting things and they do work with Custom Kernel. So for me and many others - they work well.

Omega is very good for me, it gives me good programs from saumsung (Gallery, Movie Player) which work with DLNA, gives possibility to move apps to sd and save pictures from Camera, so it is cool for me. Indie removes stuff, that i don't use at all. But for this time I am NOT able to trigger knox, I don't want to. Also - If you want to use STOCK kernel AND Omega - you will HAVE to trigger Knox Counter and not everybody is able to make that sacrifice.

Also - now, after writing all of that I DO think Samsung sell crippled devices like Apple - because Samsung takes away ability to downgrade our firmware. This is Cripling for me.

Hi,

I have/had the same issue several times now.

I Reflashed V21 over 4 times now but rotation keeps failing after a few reboots.

BUT! since the last re-flash i did not instal Xposed framework and/or Gravity box [KK] and now it is working for the last 3 days (after several reboots)

so: best chance is to refalsh v21 no wipe and not install Xposed and Gravity Box.

PS. and lets hope this issue is fixed in V21.1

Good Luck!

My Friend - I'm not treating You as noob. I am also from Europe, but many of us are not. Also - don't look at the world only through your eyes - some are willing to give away Miracast for undervolting and so on. The things that I would miss (camera, galery) are stopping me from changing rom to Google Edition but I can see downsides of TW based rom. Antutu is high but Launcher and multitasking is SLOWER than clean android. I have Moto G also which uses optimised qualcomm Dalvik and it seems SNAPPIER than TW. So I am willing to test other things like launchers (Nova), kernels (ktoonsez) and so on. Don't be judgemental. Also - I totaly disable S-Voice - it gives homebutton lag and is unusable in my native language. So not all features are good for everyone :) Also - You like Miracast, I like Raspberry and DLNA. I'm not saying my way is better. Thay both suits us well right? Cheers :)

You should know that GRAVITYBOX is designed to work on AOSP, Vanilla or any CLOSE TO STOCK Android Roms. TW based roms are heavilly altered by Samsung. Xposed will work but Gravitybox is NOT a good idea. Try Wanam Xposed instead - it is designed for Samsung based roms.
