Clean flash of v29, and wi-fi won't turn on... Tried changing the modem to XXUFNC9, but that didn't helped (i was on XXUNDG which is newer than FNC9).

Tried KT kernel, but still wifi won;t turn on. Tried to edit the build.prop like stated in kt kernel topic "To make wifi work when it wont turn on or connect, change this in the build.prop:

ro.securestorage.support=true TO ro.securestorage.support=false" but it was already set to "false".

I gave up for now, because i don't know what else to do.

On V28 wifi was working fine...

Clean install & Using a .PIT file

Hi All,

I am currently on Omega 28 and am about to flash v29. (i have a GT I9505)

Since v 28 i have some problems with permissions & write access to my external SD for certain apps (utorrent etc.), minor CWM errors that cleaning scipts are not working due to other access problems or partition wierdness.

The Rom was always bootable though and my phone worked. (except for write access to ext. SD).

I am now concidering to flash a stock rom INCLUDING a .PIT file before I flash omega v29.

I want a totally 'clean install'. (knox warranty already void and I don't care)

Would you recommend this? (flashing a .pit via odin) because on the interwebs it states that this should only be used as a last resort.

next to this i want to know it it leaves my EFS partition alone orr does that get repartitioned as wel? ( i don't want to lose my IMEI)

does anybody have experience with this sort of thing?

Please advise.

Thank you in advance!!!:good:

OG Battery Mod

Great to have OGBattery mod in v.29 (Thanks), but why do we get to choose only from indie's preferred battery icons and not the entire OG list of icons. None of the multicolored ones are included...

Here's the fix for full OGBattery mod files and working in this v.29 Omega Rom: https://www.mediafire.com/?t6xyaql8g6fjfbw

1- Go here to download the working OGBattery app for 4.4.2 and flash it: OGBattery_plus.zip

It won't work yet until we make these changes:

2- On your Galaxy S4 (I used RootExplorer) go to: system/ app/ com.ghareeb.battery-1.apk and rename it by adding ".bak" after ".apk"

It should then read "com.ghareeb.battery-1.apk.bak"

3- Now you need to rename the OGBattery mod we downloaded and flashed earlier in this same from "system/ app/ OGBattery_plus.zip " folder to read: "system/ app/ com.ghareeb.battery-1.apk

4- Reboot Galaxy S4

5- Go on your Galaxy S4 to App drawer and click on OGBatteryMod - voila, choose from over 80+ icons, colored ones and other types not to be found in Omega's OGBattery

6- You can also tap the battery in the status bar 3x and the app will opeb with your choices of charging animation as well as 80+ battery icon selections...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Me Gusta:
Hehe, will do! Currently on Altcar! Pretty good, check it out! :)

Me Gusta!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] henrik.dk:
will this mod actually runs background and eats up battery?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] axel06:
It does not do anything different to your Galaxy S4 than what indie's battery mod did. This just the same app only has 80 i/o 60, as well as different battery icons...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] alsafady89:
Sorry for the noob question lol where do I put the bootloader and the modems in the new odin? all the words are letters I have no clue what they mean lol

Thank alot!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] CarlM34:
BL - Boot Loader

CP - Modem
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] stevvie:
also try and put your s4 into download moe with the buttons as sometimes if you use a menu/app the modem don't flash right.

is something wrong with the zip via torrent ? got stuck in startscreen ( before bootanimation ) waited 15 minutes and still nothing dled it 2 times and when i look on my external sd from windows explorer its writeprotected .. v 28 is not and works flawless..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ph3n0mII:
No it doesn't run in the background or consume any extra battery. If anything, most custom battery icons will use like 0.00001% less screen power as they are 'slightly' less bright than the stock plain white one :cowboy:

You can even freeze or uninstall the app after choosing the one you like..I think it just pushes a new battery icon .qmg set to /system/media and sets relevant permissions in real time then triggers a battery indicator redraw or something like that.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] b2dj:
Was hesitant to update from 28 to 29.. seems like 29 have lots of problem. 28 is perfect. No bug at all.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] axel06:
I have zero problems with V.29 - as a matter of fact, if you read my previous 2 posts, I even was able to add "S-Finder" plus I re-programmed "OGBattery Mod" to 80+ icons...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] air16:
It is a Xposed issue. Try to install the 2.6.1 update.

At once - when in V.29 Aroma's options, just click on "No Wipe"
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Switch Blade:
Anyone else on the Old Bootloader & Old Modem having issues with v29? After a dirty flash from v28, my email will no longer sync (2 pop and 2 exchange). I know there is talk about Knox v2 in the XXUFNDG, could this be the cause?

I guess I will need to try a clean install, but would love to avoid the additional work.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr_Happy:
Updated to the 29 yesterday and tried to use the og battery mod mentioned a few pages back today. Flashing went fine, disabled wanam, renamed both og-apk's and rebooted.

The new app showed up in the drawer, opens fine and I can choose from a lot more battery icons.

However when I leave the app the new icon doesn't show...

What am I missing??
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] axel06:
You probably did not thank me then (kidding)...

You have something ticked in Xposed Installer's Wanam or XBlast or Gravity or somewhere= "Hide Battery Icon" or "No Icon" - That is wrong and they all should be unticked or set at "Stock Icon" - happened to me a while back and that's what it was. Else move your clock to left or center (look at my screenshot - Wanam will do a great job moving clock)

Can you post your screenshot?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] stevvie:

Wont it be easier if you simply rename the batterymod apk inside the zip so it instantly replaces the omega batterymod when you flash it ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] axel06:
Yes, but some less experienced followers might mess up the zip. Therefore, I decided on the bit more complicated, but safer one and in the long-run really easier for most...

How to disable to wallpaper scrolling? It's not ticked on Wanam but still scrolls. Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] axel06:
Yes, it was Carotix...

If OG disappears, it's either because you have also S5 batteriy mods downloaded. Else Wanam or Xblast or whatever ticked to not show any icons or need to tick "Stock Icon" there...If still in doubt disable just once all Xposed Installer modules and reboot to see what that does to your OG. Last: Move clock in Status Bar to center or left with Wanam
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] stevvie:
Wow thanks, would never of found that myself
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Sammydaskroko:
dont had other battery mods installed nor xposed modules or installer ... maybe that clock move will do it because i see that in orignal ogmod from omega there is xhdpi battery icons where in the one from carotix its xxhdpi .. maybe not enough space with stock clock position..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] axel06:
Look at earlier screenshot of my status bar. Always have clock in center, so assume moving it might do it!? Good luck...

Not that benchmarks give a true reflection of your phones performance AnTuTu on mine is 28739. But, if ten other people were to post there's (please don't) you would probably get 10 different results.
