re: kernels

Yes you need to flash a sprint sph-l720 kernel.

What you need to do when flashing this rom is after you make all your selections in the Aroma Installer

which contains this Darthstalker Version X1 rom and you get to the last screen in Aroma you will see a

check mark which you need to un-check so the phone will not auto-reboot.

Un-check that and while you are still in recovery flash kernel below:

Here is the direct download link for the 4.3 kernel which you should flash:

http://ktoonsez.jonathanjsimon.com/sgs4/TW/KT-SGS4-JB4.3-TW-SPR-01.17.2014.zip

Once that's done just let the phone re-boot.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] en11gma:
what about my modem and is this a stock 4.3 sprint kernel or is it de-knoxed?

thanks for your great info too

also i think i need to reboot the phone into "Download Mode" will that be ok as long as i dont boot to os?

i see its a zip and just needs installed from recovery

thanks

i wonder if when i install the rom if it will change my modem "nv" settings to make it unlock like a real tmobile phone.

right now i have ran the S4 unlock.exe which is like your region unlock i think its called then i had to go change quite a few settings in *#0011# which is like where you guys only did the SHA = Off i changed quite a few settings in UMTS sub menus

O_o

this should be interesting

i see ##786# comeing :)

re: modems / stock firmware

If you are not even rooted and or don't have a custom recovery installed like CWM/TWRP

you will need to root your phone first and then flash a custom recovery before you can flash

any of the custom roms found here in XDA.

There is NO need to flash or change to a different modem, if you flash a different modem

you most likely will not have any signal or data and will not be able to make/receive calls.

NONE of the custom roms found here in XDA contain MODEM images just for that reason.

We all keep our existing modems when we flash any cwm/twrp flashable roms here in XDA.

Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] en11gma:
didnt know that about the modems not coming with roms.

nice

yep im stock rooted running tmoble CM11 nightly rom with a matching cm11 nightly sprint kernel on an older sprint mdc modem and its working flawless

twrp 2.6.3.0 installed but i still have to reboot to dload mode to flash the kernel you linked me to right?

re: downloading using the phone

I have seen all your posts about having problems downloading the Darthstalker rom with your phone.

Why not simply go to the playstore and install firefox and a couple other browsers and and try downloading

the rom using a different browser, every browser uses different methods of file transfers.

Give it a try, see if it helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tenxo:
Hey Jovy keep the bloat if you don't mind.

Thats what a custom-stock Rom is, tweaked and added goodies! As others have stated just remove stuff you dont want from zip file is painless before flashing (system/app) folder. I do it and actually add some stuff that I use that the Rom doesn't include.

Some people use some of that "bloat". It would be harder to track down and install each one by one than it is to just open zip select the ones you dont want and delete.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: Bloat

It would take a very long time and a lot of work for people to remove all the bloatware in their own roms.

The bloat is somewhere between 400 to 500MB, to do it properly is not as easy as some people may think, it's not just a matter of deleting

the bloatware APK files in the /system/apps in the phone or in the rom zipfile. There is a lot more to it than that if it's to be done properly.

re: recovery/download mode

In my first reply to you I said NOTHING about going into download mode.

Be sure that you do a complete WIPE which includes Wipe Data, System, Cache, Dalvik Cache

and last but not least do a "factory reset" in recovery mode before flashing any roms.

You need to go into twrp recovery mode to flash this or any other custom roms or kernels.

Then follow the instructions in my first reply to you.

(copy the new kernel into your internal sdcard before going into recovery)

Be sure you make a nandroid backup before flashing anything.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] en11gma:
understood

i was confused on the kernel.zip i was thinking i need to odin that for some reason (thats how i flash the modem and kernel) for sprint but this is here and not there :)

what did you think about the comments i said about the unlock.exe and phone settings i did in CDMA/UMTS area to make this phone already international sim unlocked "and" domestic sim unlocked?

do you think when i install this rom it will take care of that area or do you think it will be messed up :)

2hrs left on dload of this rom

wow is there any mirrors?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: unlocking

If I were you I would stay away from "unlock.exe" or anything else similar to it.

None will unlock your Sprint phone.

The sim card is embedded in the motherboard of the phone and cannot be changed either.

Good luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] en11gma:
funny you say that

im sin unlocked right now so dont know why you would say that

re: unlocked

If your Sprint phone is unlocked it must have came that way from Sprint or

from wherever it was originally purchased from like ebay or amazon.com or???

i can provide links for the international unlock and then also the domestic sim unlock if you want them

I'm running this rom on an unlocked M919 using AT&T. I never upgraded to official 4.3 just went straight from 4.2.2 to this and so far am extremely pleased. Only issue so far that I've found is wifi is a little wonky. If I tether or use the 4G LTE data the wifi has issues reconnecting (and staying connected), a reboot usually fixes it.

I'm currently on MDL and was thinking MK2 might help out here but I've been afraid to flash it because I've heard horror stories about it (and not being able to go back). Is there any benefit/drawback to doing this?

Just flashed the rom yesterday and haven't used it all that much but so far that is all that has cropped up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Arkain2K:
You'd be surprise to know this have already been brought up a thousand times in this thread by newcomers, and approximately zero "horror stories" ensues after their upgrade to the MK2 modem to go with this MK2-based ROM. It's just common sense really.

I also appreciate the ability to turn it off for those like yourself that don't like it.

That's just good Dev'n. :good:

re: random reboot

If you don't perform a full wipe in recovery which includes "factory reset", wipe cache,

wipe dalvik cache, wipe system and wipe data before re-flashing the rom don't expect

your random rebooting issue to be solved.

In other words do a full and complete wipe before re-flashing the rom.

Good luck!

To let everyone know i will not be working or updating any of my roms no more for the S4. Sorry that i have to tell you all this because i know i have people who has supported my work from the beginning.

I have worked very hard on every single update which took countless hours to do and i do this for you guys and i also do my best to give you all something not good but great!

I do not come here often since now i have a note 3 and the things i see in other threads i noticed that i see some/most of my aroma work which some developers didnt even ask me permission to take in the first place and then denies it.

One thing a developer knows is his work and i should know since im the one who has worked my butt off on it, but for a developer to take something and then deny it is another story.

I hope you all enjoy Darthstalker X1 like I have and I just want to thank you xda users for supporting me all the way, i couldnt have done it without you!

Random reboots

Firstly - thanks for a killer ROM and all the support you have brought to our GS4s!!

I am hoping to squash the cause of my random reboots.

I flashed X! soon after it was released and it has been great.

Recently I have experienced random reboots and they are getting more frequent. Since yesterday they have been happening all the time. In the last hour it must have happened at least 5 times. I am re-typing this from my computer as a result... There is not any specific app that I am using when it crashes, as it happens in any app. I haven't noticed a reboot other than when I am using it in hand.

I was able to record a logcat up to the crash.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/vfdlx10jc7pp09m/Log_2014-02-21_17-14-13.txt

Hopefully this will be of some use.

I fixed permissions and noticed an immediate performance boost, but no help to the random reboots.

I just wiped dalvik and cache to see it that makes any difference.

My gut feeling is kernel, which I have not changed or used any apps to control. It runs as OP built, however I am no dev.

TIA!

My phone had been acting non-responsive off and on prior to all the random reboots as well. How about you?

This morning I wiped, flashed the ROM, but Titanium Backup would not load my backups. Data path was correct, but no backups to restore. Not a single reboot though.

I wiped again and restored my nandroid(System, data, boot) I had just made before the first wipe. It "feels" like less reboots, but I haven't used the phone as much.
