Yeah the kernel kills root. But Shabby has already fixed the kernel or you just keep the MDC kernel. Just need to get rid of the nag. I haven't tried his kernel so I don't know if it will throw a nag by itself. The system is throwing a nag if you root and I am tracking that down right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ChadH42:
MDL will nag you with either the MDC kernel or Shabby's.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crawrj:
Just an FYI on this. There are two separate nags. Any custom kernel will throw a nag by itself. And the new MDL system is throwing a nag if you are rooted (not sure if the kernel only throws the nag if you are rooted). I have tracked down the two files in system which causes the nag and fixed it by replacing them with MDC files. Will be working on a more permanent solution to that. So if you have the stock MDC kernel and the MDL system you can run my patch to get rid of the nag. Or you could probably use the work around for the kernel nag which is to freeze the SEAndroid app.

Whenever I try to get the update I fails after reboot. Do I need the stock recovery? If so where can I get it.

Just google how to unroot s4 (Odin)

I just unrooted.

Turned off Dev Options

Ran PRL update

Ran Profile Update

Cleared Data in GSF

Force Stopped GSF

Update Samsung Software and boom update..

For some odd reason I booted into something calle dSafe Mode it was at the bottom of my screen??? I rebooted and it went away.

I have total faith in these X(DA)perts that when the time comes and I am ready to root and flash that it will be much easier after all the bugs are fixed and everything is ironed out...

Would you guys suggest sticking with my root? Or installing the new update? Is it really worth it to update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jejb:
A caution. You may want to be careful doing the clear data and force stop on GSF. I believe that is what caused my roaming guard selections to get greyed out, which I posted about in this thread yesterday:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eyecon82:
It really helps with the lag and red hue on black backgrounds significantly increasing the contrast ratio, which is the most important factor in a display for me next to refresh rate and pixel density

The only thing this resets is your google location permissions so you have to enable permissions again in the Google account section in settings. No big deal at all and takes 5 seconds to fix.

Anyhow, it shouldn't even matter since you will be doing an OTA and you will most likely have to redo all your settings anyways

I love how this OTA makes you use less ram. Before, I'd only have 100-200mb free after a days worth of uses without a restart. Now I gave about 400-500 with the same usage and apps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Shiftlock:
so i imagine this will break root right? if so is it possible to root again with motochopper?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jejb:
I tried the enable location permissions in my Google section, but it did not work. Thanks for the input, though. The only thing that got it back (or turned it on the first time?) for me was a hard reset.

I may just try to do the OTA update first. TWRP failed to flash it for me, though. I guess because I'm not rooted? Sorry if I missed it, but I'm on a terribly slow internet connection right now (in our RV out in the woods using PDANet on my S4 in Bluetooth Tether), so searching much is out. I pulled the zip file down from the other thread before I left, so how do I install that on a non-rooted phone? Odin doesn't like it because it's not a TAR, etc.

Woke up this morning to this notification on my phone. What the he'll do I do now..assuming this is the update the breaks root....I didn't think it would download without asking.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Cloaker:
If you don't want to accept the OTA and want the notification to go away, long press on the notification and select app info, uncheck the box.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] roninep:
Hey cloaker I unchecked and it worked fine. Thanks.

I also renamed the otacert.zip file in th system/etc/security to otacert-bak.zip. Does that help or make a difference? Im wondering if that prevents it d/l the updates ? I don't even want them d/l automatically.

Thanks again.

No idea, but logic would dictate that it you freeze or otherwise disrupt that apk, it won't download. Pure speculation though. I'm far from an expert. :o

What is the directory path on the phone, to the update/download?

I tried installing the OTA but it failed with an "error" message. My phone is rooted. Does anyone know what I need to do to get the update to work?

Hello Everyone, I'm proud to present you with a port of the Unofficial AOKP ROM for our T-Mobile Galaxy S4's. Most of the credit goes to garwynn in the Sprint S4 forum for getting this working in the first place, I just made the necessary changes to get it to boot and run on our phones. As far as I can tell, the ROM is working very nicely (haven't tested too much) but may be considered as a daily driver with further testing. Anyway, just wanted to share my excitement... ENJOY!

:victory: I just finished flashing, restoring apps and tweaking my settings now.

I checked out the browser so far. Lightning fast compared to stock.

I had to download a different google apps, the link the op provided didnt work for me so i used this one:

http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip

Also tried the camera, it works but it seemed slow. Could be because i have apps downloading in the play store when i tried it. i miss the HDR feature from the stock camera app. So i'll try camera zoom fx later to see if it fits my personal wants.

I'll test out what i can today. If someone wants to post a quick list of things I should check. I'll try and get to it today and post the results.

Oh i also have my mouse paired to it via bluetooth. so thats working too.

Thanks OP

Update: The sd card isnt mounting and i lost root access. So much for restoring using titanium backup. Think i might just try and restore my stock rooted back up and wait for the next release. With out the SD card, i dont feel like running this as a daily driver. I need my flac music. But thanks anyway.

Okay, so I can confirm that sd card is not being mounted. Also, root is not working from the get go. But uf you install super user from play store, then flaflak the superuser.zip provided in the details of the superuser app(by clockworkmod) ill attach it if you want to add to op for future users until it gets fixed.

same kernel though maybe thats why ?

Sense 3.6 is the official one and pretty much the best at 3d stuff, so maybe the game doesn't run well on the phone, simple as that, or you can try and see how it performs on JB, but i don't think it will be better...

What are the benifits of paying for this service, as all the functionality is there already (although not working for me), will it stop "working" after a few days if I dont subscribe?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppreuss:
Hi xda,

I wanted to post it in the appropriate subsection, unfortunatly I was not allowed due to the 10-post rule :rolleyes:

So I am a long time Nexus S custom Rom user, and was always very satisfied with the development and improvements of the Roms.

Currently I am on Slim Rom (4.2.2 b5) and I have the problem, that with all the new implementations, I am often running out of memory. w/o having any not necessary apps running.

Mainly I have System, Apex and Swiftkey, which are stealing RAM:

System-UI up to 90MB

Android System up to 70MB

Swiftkey up to 50MB

The System is no more 'snappy', like people say. When I am on browser and change to home, it takes 2-3 seconds. Swiftkey gets killed sometimes, while in use. Free RAM is only ~5MB at this time (considering apps, cache, ...).

So my question is, is our Nexus S slowly not sufficient enough for the recent ROMs?

Or, what can I do to have more free Ram (by deleting apps or killing processes).

Thanks a lot, Patrick
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] louderstill:
short answer-

it's getting pretty dated

longer answer-

i'v been running beta's of slim for a good while

first on a 4G

now a 9020a

my phone is a communication and GPS device that

i take pics with and play mp3's sometimes

it is not a game platform

build 5 is, in fact, quite snappy and smooth

on my device

i suggest a _complete_ wipe

and install of the available roms

without restoring any of your apps

and see how they act stock

fwiw

mh
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppreuss:
Thank you for your answer!

I know that a full wipe is recommended, so I am doing this on every build. Format Data, wipe dalvic, cache and battery stats.

App Data is restored via Titanium backup.

Currently I don't know what I could do better.

My additional apps are: AFWall+, Android tuner, Business calendar, Camer Zoom, Doggcatcher, eWeather, IM+, K-9, Moon reader, MX Player, NSTools, Poweramp, Quickpic, RealCalc, Sleep as Android, Solid explorer, Tapatalk, Ti Backup, TomTom.

If this helps?! What is your free Ram usually (including cache and other)?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Setting.Out:
With cache and system included I keep over 20mb of ram while using apps.. With just apps (how most ROMs have it displayed).. I have around 130mb free.. I use greenify, set background limits and still have over 100 apps on my phone.. I use a theme and themed icons on Nova launcher with three widgets running.. No lag and never have an app I'm using close due to memory constraints...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppreuss:
Thanks too!

Does greenify helps finding Ram-eaters?

Sorry if I ask, what would be good background limits?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Setting.Out:
Greenify pauses unused apps ( does not block them, as they will function normally ).. It doesn't find them, but it does hinder their unwanted activities...

I keep my limit at three ( this can be found at the bottom of developers options ) but I can't tell you what is best.. I used to use only two, but one of my widgets always seemed to stop, now it seems fine..

I also don't keep sync on and limit the ability of apps to auto sync..

Thank you for your help!

I installed Greenify and am now on build 6. Everything seems to be much better now!

As I understand it, Glass Explorers are given access to a private Glass forum. I assume that this is where most current discussion of Glass is taking place.

This is a shame, as I'd like to be able to keep up with people's reactions to, and evolving use of, the devices, as well as development efforts.
[Glass General] Archon810:
That is correct, and you can't access it unless you use a Google account that is associated with the Glass registration.
[Glass General] danguyf:
*sad trombone*

I know that specific Googlers have said that they encourage Explorers to root their devices and to do with them as they wish, but I would still be a little nervous posting all of my efforts into Google's walled garden, where they could just decide tomorrow that they don't want certain sorts of information available and delete all of those threads.

I hope that people will experiment with Glass in public, where we can all follow along and (hopefully) get excited.

I rarely buy devices the day they are released; I prefer to watch and wait to see what others think of them, how quickly they get hacked, how open they are to tinkering, and what sorts of uses people find to put them. I'm not about to buy Glass based only on Google's marketing materials and a few reviews from mainstream news and blogs...

Like we can change

1) the minimum free memory that android need to keep free.

2) Rate of clearing cache

3)Advanced LMK- where we can kill more than one process at at time when memory scarcity occurs.

4) Reducing logging.

5) In framework we can change the oom_adj value of important processes.

6) Implement Zram for kernel.

7) change the minimum and maximum no of process for AMS.
