The problem ppl are having with reboots, especially bootloops and other problems can be solved by doing a factory reset after you install a new rom. This problem pertains to all S4's and all ROM's, incuding factory fw's as well.

CRT works fine on this ROM and I personally love it.

Triangle Away is pretty pointless, unless ur using original fw and want ota's or returning ur phone. Even if you get it to work, it will always show the count as 1 since ur on a custom rom. If you want it to work, all you have to do is flash the stock kernel of ur phone variant.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr_President:
Oh yeah I saw that option but never actually tried it *douh* >.<. Maybe I'll have to try PhilZ again. I loved the recovery otherwise. Which version are you rocking atm then? I want to maximize my chances for success you see :).

Yeah I know that the 4 way reboot option appears after selecting "Restart". But it doesn't appear for me :(. I just get the stock ROM "Yes or No" confirmation...

Well the CRT addon isn't THAT important to me. I'm sure it will work when I straighten out the other problems first :).

About the triangle away. I got the yellow triangle on my S2 when flashing custom roms. But I don't get it on my S4 :S... Which is REALLY wierd since I have flashed Wanam's, and confirmed that I am running it. But that also confirms that something IS wrong.

Thanks for the reply btw!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] yhrn:
Please refrain from generalizing. I've been doing this a lot and I've never had this "Android is upgrading..." problem before. I DID do multiple "normal" full wipes without getting rid of the problem and my point with the post was that it was only solved by using the "full wipe before flashing new ROM" option.

As for my comment on Triangle Away - it had nothing to do with it's usefulness I was only telling people here, that might run into the same behavior, that Triangle Away could be the cause.

I'm using PhilZ 5.10.8-i9505 - works well except that the date and time in recovery sometimes get screwed up (known issue), which is a bit annoying because the backup names get equally screwed up.

Weird with the reboot option but I wouldn't worry about the yellow triangle, it was there on the SGS2 but on SGS3 it was replaced with a tiny red exclamation mark. On this phone nothing special seems to be shown at all during boot even if the flash counter is increased. I could see in Triangle Away (before I removed it) that my counter was increased but nothing is shown during boot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr_President:
Final update regarding missing 4 way boot option

Well FINALLY I fixed it (thanks yhrn!). I reflashed back to PhilZ and did the "Full wipe before flashing new ROM", cleared cache, cleared dalvik, flashed ROM +patch for CRT off effect and rebooted. Well no yellow triangle, but that was apparently normal on the S4. After setting the phone up, 4 way boot option is there and CRT off effect works :D. Now I'm happy! So if you got this problem, I recommend PhilZ recovery and doing the extensive wipe. It's apparent that the usual full wipe leaves something behind that fooled my S4 into thinking that it was still running clean stock. As a bonus, the extensive wipe also stopped the nagging about flashing stock recovery on every visit to the recovery >.<.

Dude! I hit the thanks button. You deserve it :).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] aliendna999:
What?

Could you please elaborate this.

The sgs4 doesn't show a yellow exclamation.

So why do you say it is weird that you don't get it, and that it confirms something is wrong?

Are you just talking randomly? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr_President:
I have had other phones before and everytime a custom ROM was flashed on one of those, the boot-up screen would show the yellow triangle/exclamation sign. I just presumed that that was the case for the SGS4 too, apparently not :P. Just a misunderstanding :).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 3thman:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mosec:
This is a great rom but still camera shutter lag is annoying. Coming from GS3 this is really bugging me. Do you experience it as well? It takes about a second to take a picture.

Can it be fixed with another kernel? Any ideas? Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] euror:
Sorry the fact that S4 LTE uses Snapdragon CPU and shutter lag is unavoidable, I have the same feeling the first day I have my S4 LTE, later on confirmed with a Samsung guy it won't happen on 3G verson i9500 with Exynos CPU, what a rip off, S4 just like a cheap version of S3, so I told all of my friends if they're using S3 LTE, do not switch to S4 LTE, not worth it. :(

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mosec:
I'm hoping it will somehow be fixed with some future update.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] PearLRoX:
"a cheaper version"

no .. S3 is a great device but you know..its getting older.. (i also came from a S3 -> S4..)

S4 is a great device, but it needs more time to give us that feeling (afther beter custom kernel's, updates,...) so give it time..its 'new'
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ayydin:
Guys let me ask something! I am not sure if is right place for it but I am using this rom and definitely is best place. Is our device (9505) coming with some stock display gestures? Too often accidentally I am doing kind of slide that takes me back to the home screen. Up and immediately down but in a very small area and sliding pages down sometimes are problematic. Tried with few launchers and finally I think it is an Samsung option that I can't find to turn it off.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr_President:
Ok I'm not really sure if I understood you right but... Are you talking about the Airgestures? :S. If it is then you can turn them off by sliding down your notification bar, click the square up in the right corner (opens up all the toggles) and look for Airgestures there (a hand with four arrows). I had to turn them off because I would accidently scroll on webpages and stuff when I held the phone in landscape mode. The gestures are picked up by the frontfacing camera you see :).

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------

I just wanted to say thanks to Wanam :). This ROM is awesome! Really snappy, smooth and stable. I can feel an improvement in batterylife too. So improvements all across the board really! And I also think that it was a good idea to remove the CRT off effect from the ROM and have it as an addon. I installed it but had to remove it a day later >.<. Not only does it give you a delay when locking the phone but I actually (rarely) started to experience subtle flickering of the screen when I was just looking at my homescreen :S. ROM has been flawless ever since I uninstalled that addon.

Good job! I hope to see a new version when Samsung decides to release one :).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ayydin:
I am meaning if some touch gestures are active. It is even possible that I am touching the back button accidentally because it happens in the bottom right side while using with only one hand (little fat one) :) . But still believe it is a touch gesture even while can't activate it when I am trying. If someone report that active touch gestures for navigating are not existing all of the mine confusion will be gone. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr_President:
Ahhh ok now I understand! Probably just a case of phatfingers :P. I have many times accidently pressed the back button :(. That's one negative thing about a huge screen on a chassis this small. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me :).

EDIT: Btw, there's a bug with the back button. I can sometimes press it and nothing happens. The phone vibrates like it registers the touch but does nothing. If I then press it a second time it will go back but without vibrating. Had this on stock ROM also so not an issue with WanamLite.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr_President:
Hey! You might wanna make sure that the baseband (modem) matches the ROM, MGA in this case. If that doesn't work or MGA modem is bad in your area, try flashing PhilZ and wipe data with the "Full wipe before flashing new ROM" option, wipe cache, dalvik and flash the ROM again :). That seems to fix all kinds of problems. Good luck!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mosec:
I use that because of 16:9 format but it isn't really better. Maybe a little. Also it seems a bit better when you enable anti shake.

Nah Adam kernel shouldn't interfere at all. I'm using MGA modem +WanamLite ROM +Adam kernel +PhilZ recovery. Everything is working flawless :). My phone is an GT-I9505 btw. I would suggest that you install PhilZ recovery first. If the special wipe doesn't help then try MGA modem. I hope you get it working!

Hi, All. I need a Help: I have a GALAXY S4 SGH-I337M. Is it possível to flash WANAMLITE ROM from I9505 in my phone? If yes, please give me a tutorial link. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr_President:
Ahh yes, you already have the MGA modem. If you can't get Wifi to work as is, then I would try to install PhilZ recovery -> fullwipe (called something like "Before flahing new ROM") -> wipe cache -> wipe Dalvik -> flash WanamLite 1.4 ROM -> reboot :). There is something called a "Wifi fix". But that is apparently only needed when using stock kernel (which you don't use) and WanamLite comes with it's own Adam kernel. My recommendation is to try with PhilZ recovery. If that doesn't fix it... then I'm lost :S.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ogunja:
I use the MGA with Adam kernel, the problem is that the wifi connects but is seeking network even when I'm connected.

Gave a wipe data, cache and dalvik and installed the fix wifi when I get home to see if everything was ok.

Thank you friend.

No brick for me. Works perfectly. Just follow the instructions.

Sent from my Galaxy S4 running WanamLite 4.2.2 [JB][TW]
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ayydin:
Every case like that, about any rom or kernel I have read was actually caused by not proper installation. First of all it comes with kernel and no need to flash it separately. So it is safest kind to flash for me. Flashing only kernel is still seems more dangerous to me and I am staying away from that. And the cases we're mentioned with bricked devices are mostly during flash of kernels. Different compatibilities, broken (seems complete) downloads and so on.

Personally I am using this rom only, from few months and can report that never had any problem. Stable with great battery time and suitable with every mod I like. As 3minit, Xposed, TrueIcon and finally they're healing all of my flash addiction. Flashing rom only if here's update. Reason to choice this rom from the beginning was the rating of the dev what else to know is safe :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] xarfrost:
Hello. I just got my S4 i9505 a week ago. And I just noticed my data is not working after flashing this rom. I tried looking for solutions like manually setting the APN and stuff but didnt work. It shows HSPA+ and others but not able use data even once. Is it because of the modem used in this rom? It would be really great if someone could help me out.

EDIT:

OK, got mine working again. I flashed/Odin'd the proper modem for my region. Now its working great :)

[MENTION=3562083]wanam[/MENTION]

will you be updating this rom to the new base sir? If so, maybe add a few tweaks to the adam kernel that comes with it? I LOVE ADAM KERNEL stable as a boulder
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MistahBungle:
Exactly right. There could be a whole host of reasons for a flash going wrong & a phone being borked as a result. I would suggest that phone was bricked as a result of a 'bad flash' which can happen whether you use CWM/other recover or Odin, rather than the result of anything Wanam did on the coding/kernel side.

Some people just forget or simply refuse to accept flashing anything involves (almost always small) some risk. So they lash out at the dev/whomever when it goes wrong rather than doing what's reasonable & accepting responsibility for them flashing whatever it is they've flashed in the first place.

Edit - And for the record, the behaviour of some people toward Wanam over this issue was appalling & should have resulted in permanent bans from XDA.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Galaxicos:
The adam kernel is stable en very battery friendly. I hope he will update it for the 9505.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MistahBungle:
Has anyone else experienced the lockscreen clock getting 'stuck' (I'm not talking about the couple of second update lag when you wake the phone up which seems normal on S series phones) on a particular time (the main clock on the status bar is fine though) & only a clear cache/Dalvik fixes it for a while & then the issue reappears again after an hour or so, and if so any ideas on how to stop it happening (V1.4/Adam V1.5) ?

Edit - If anyone else finds it happening, a dirty flash of WannamLite seems to have fixed the problem for now at least (clear cache/data on related apps didn't do the job).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kingofthebraves:
thank you!! I never knew about this!

Yes I have experienced my lock screen getting stuck in s4 view cover mode (only the top portion is displaying information) and it just reverts to normal on its own. Kinda annoying. I'm also experiencing problems with the music widget not showing on the lock screen occasionally while playing music. There seems to be no pattern for this and it just happens randomly.
