[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] caudex:
This is what I did to fix my Wifi issues:

1. Factory Reset (System, Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache) in TWRP

2. When you restart, select to restart into 'Download' (when it asks if you want Root, say NO)

3. Immediately install MEA Stock Firmware

4. Do not install TWRP yet, restart and boot into "Stock Recovery" perform a Factory Reset through there.

Once you have done this, check through 'Download' menu that your "Binary" and "Device Status" is Official.

If it isn't official then keep trying until you get official status.

I believe Wifi not working is part of the 'Samsung Knox' Feature (which almost 90% of the world doesn't need since they added it so government agencies will buy into Samsung).

Once the firmware detects that it is not Official, then it will lock out Wifi, hence why when you attempt to turn on Wifi on stock and it doesn't work it pops up with "Modified Information" alert and asks you to restart.

You do not need to go through the entire setup to work out if Wifi is working or not, the 2nd menu during setup which sets up the Wifi will not work if you failed to gain Official Status.

You will need to keep trying to flash it until it shows official status, since the Modem sometimes doesn't flash. If you want to save time, you can check the modem and flash it until it is the correct one. Advanced knowledge will be needed for this.

If you don't know what you are doing, then keep flashing the Stock ODIN MEA Stock Firmware until it shows official.

After it shows Official and you have setup everything through Stock, then you continue to flash Omega with the steps provided previously.

FOR NEW USERS - Here are some helpful tips...

1. Before you decide to do anything to your phone - Do your own research

2. If you google terms like "How do I flash a rom" or "How do I flash recovery" you will find answers

3. The instructions have been written in a manner that you're expected to have done some reading to know exactly what you're doing

For those new users who are having trouble or aren't sure how to use Odin, the forum is full of answers.

Most of you will find that if you read through the 300 odd posts in this thread there will be someone, like you, who has experienced some difficulties. 9 times out of 10 there will be a solution that follows.

If you get stuck, feel free to ask... We are a community that supports each other, just do a little reading first :)

I'll wait for 004 to be stable, doesnt look like it works with Omega v5 at the moment. Lots of people complaining of bootloops.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] crows:
Did you flash the original MEA Stock Firmware

and the csc file at the same time using odin? you gotta unzip the csc file...then you follow omega install instructions
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dannyben:
If you're on Tmo with omega 5 and MDL radio (as I showed in screenshot) can't see how it won't work. Don't know what the ppl who complained are running. Just flash over what you have. No wipes or anything.

If you read through this thread, half the post are ppl complaining about issues, loops, wifi, lte, etc... And 100% of the time it's a result of user not following instructions.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jonlad1:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] glennd:
If you have Omega flashed now and Lte is working but no Wifi then just flash Adam kernel via recovery and all should be good.

One thing so for my 64GB card to work i can flash Adam Kernel correct? Or do you recommend stock kernel or something?

Well i am currently using Adam Kernel and have no problems with 64GB card or WIFI or NFC.. only think i notice is wifi takes slightly longer than usual to logon. So if i have V5.0 installed whats a big difference? likely major difference?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tomurbanowicz:
I don't understand... On Stock Kernel everything is OK, on custom Kernel propably not. Why do You use custom kernel link Adam? Do You see really any differences, like better battery life etc? I've used any kernels on my SGS 2, and differences were negligible and sometimes it were problems on custom kernels.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] glennd:
It is still early days for development but I have noticed better loading times and less lag in general with Adam kernel. When I was on my Gs3 with Omega and stock kernel my battery life was around 8- 10 hours and when I used the Boefela kernel with same rom my battery life more than tripled roughly around 27- 30 hours on average. Yes true with some custom kernels you may experience glitches but there are glitches even in stock kernels that's why the XDA community are here to make it the best it can be.

I can highly recommend to hibernate Gmaps meaning that its not possible for the android os to run gmaps service when you don't use it active

What you need:

- Titanium Backup

- Greenify (maybe pro version)

Steps to follow:

1) open Titanium Backup and find Gmaps

2) tap on it and swipe to the second app properties page where you can convert gmaps from a system to user app and do it. (Takes some seconds to finish)

3) open Greenify, press the plus icon on the bottom-right

4) search for gmaps, select it and accept your selection

5) done.

You won't notice any further wakelocks caused by network location locator but you are still able to use gmaps as always.

You can use Greenify to hibernate other apps like facebook which causes a lot of wakelocks.
