Please continue to update us on the progress of the stock modified kernel. I'm also having the reboots and its bugging the hell out of me since this is THE best ROM in my opinion. I was considering going to wicked but, if there's hope then I'm gonna stick around. I'm gonna try the stock modified too and post progress after a few days. Right now I get random reboots, system processes not responding, and the whole nine yards. It happens just out of the blue at the most inconvenient time too so it sucks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] froader:
NO! Batch uninstall...

This is not something that happens after flashing. All was good since first flash after it came out, which I mentioned a page back...

Random reboots started much later.

---------- Post added at 11:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

I 2nd that, although it did not work for me. Still curious.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] grncherry:
I have run X1 from the day it was released. Did a full wipe, installed Ktoonez latest TW kernel and TWRP and have absolutely no reboots at all. I signed into Google and allowed all my apps to reinstall and sync from there. So I'm inclined to think it may be an app not being compatible. In my opinion some of these battery saving and app freezing mods create more problems than they claim to fix.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] froader:
I know what you are thinking. Same here, but left the incl. kernel. All was good for quite a while and all of a sudden the random reboots without any new apps and I don't use any of those self help **** ones either. Been flashing for quite a while and retracing my steps which doesn't make sense to me. All I can think of is some corruption or something. Don't know other that I get reboots with any app whatever I'm doing...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
That's exactly what I thought so recently I've been retrying with no mods and battery savers etc. but of course still having the problem. I'm gonna look more into it because I know there's others out there such as yourself with zero reboots so I know it's possible I just have to figure out the problem, thanks for the pointers, I appreciate it. I'll uninstall everything besides the basics for a few days and see what happens. The only ones I'll keep are Snapdragon Battery Guru and Glance, love them and I definitely feel like they aren't part of the problem since I was having these problems before downloading them

So far using the stock modified kernel no reboots today, will continue to update
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chispas109:
★[ROM] ☆ DARTHSTALKER S4 ☆ | VERSION X1 | Aroma | Multi-Carrier | 12.29.2013 ☆

My s4 is still on 4.2.2 v9 of darthstalker, so i just need to flash x1 and the latest modem gets intalled along with the rom or do i have to flash the modem for this new 4.3 firmware separate?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] grncherry:
You need to flash the modem also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] froader:
I'm happy that the stock modified kernel is working for you. I moved over to Wicked v10 last night and not a single problem yet. Actually, I am impressed with it. Trying to find something that I am missing. Prob battery life... Time will tell.

EDIT: The only difference was that I wiped internal storage as well. Maybe X1 would have then worked out just fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chispas109:
★[ROM] ☆ DARTHSTALKER S4 ☆ | VERSION X1 | Aroma | Multi-Carrier | 12.29.2013 ☆

So basically i have to odin to 4.3 stock in order to do that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tunedwhitey:
I have a question for those who have a reboot problem r u guys running clockwork recovery? I'm wondering if it has to do with that? U never no I'm gonna switch to TWRP and do a full reflash see if it changes anything
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] froader:
I had ROM Manager installed, but TWRP for recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] grncherry:
Here is the modem you can use to odin

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760972339
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tunedwhitey:
Dam then idk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] froader:
I couldn't find an answer and no support with my logcats... Been 100% solid on Wicked v10 for almost a whole day now.

Otherwise you may want to add internal storage to your wiping and flash X1 again to see if that fixes things. I didn't want to spend that time just to find out X1 had continued problems, so I moved on.

Hopefully some KitKat in the near future. Should be interesting with a new boot loader, baseband, and Knox again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tunedwhitey:
I always wipe internal
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] froader:
Well then, we are both stumped... At least I have a working and stable phone now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tunedwhitey:
Lol Yea might as well switch too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
Still no reboots but, I might switch to wicked as well to try it out and as far as I know the thread is still very active and I believe still being developed and looked at by the developer
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] froader:
Lol, I like my phone not randomly rebooting over and over.

At least it was happening to more than just you and I...

I think that its a good alternative + the benefits you mentioned. The is less UI built in that I can tell, but they can be changed on the fly later which is cool.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Arkain2K:
I'm still hanging on to the hope that jovy23 will be back when 4.4 is out :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aaldiar:
I would not hold my breath if I were you. He's stated that he no longer works this device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] froader:
Just an update on wicked.

I got a reboot while talking on the phone via my Bluetooth stereo this afternoon. It took a long time to reboot and all my WiFi networks were gone. Restored from backup. I did change some settings in Wanam framework, which requires a reboot to take effect and that took just as long to reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
Interesting, I haven't gotten a reboot on wicked yet but last night I switched back to DarthStalker. Wicked is missing something for me I haven't figured it out yet though. But it runs damn smooth
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbmg:
I haven't got one 4.3 rom to work without reboots, yet. Been back on v9 with not a single issue for a month or so. When I was around the house 4.3 worked fine, but I'm a truck driver. The reboots, whether darth or wicked were insane on the road. I continuously have my podcasts and maps running and one or the other doesn't jive with 4.3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] froader:
So far I have just had that one. I will wait till 4.4.x TW is releases and build here before I spend the time flashing again. That is as long as this stays stable.

I have been on this ROM since at least v9, maybe earlier. I don't remember any random reboots until recently and that was after being on X1 for a while.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbmg:
I could never get any kind of stability. Now my situation is a little different than others being on the road and all. I'm an avid words with friends player also, and it would lag out all the time on X1. V9 with bioshock is my best combination.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] froader:
I do remember V9 with bioshock being a great combination. I did get increased battery life with X1 though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shine 52:
Is Group texting working on this ROM? T-Mobile user here. Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kreecher:
I installed last night and seem to have lost the ability to send text messages. I can receive, and all other features seem to be working... anybody have any ideas? I've cleared data on messaging and hangouts, rebooted, checked that mobile data is enabled and can't solve this one
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] froader:
[Kernel] Bioshock 4.0.1 | Jan 29, 2014 | Best damn kernel period.

Have you tried this yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxSHaDoWxSLaYeRxX:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] froader:
You talking to me?, lol.

Works fine over here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lulu217783:
So flashed the earth stalker rom on my tmobile galaxy s4 all installed and flashed only thing is I selected that my messaging be themed. Somehow it's not themed it's just like it was before it's not themed however it did theme for 2 seconds just now but went back to normal. How can I fix this issue?? any help would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
I'd suggest just going back into recovery and dirty flashing the ad on once more and seeing if it sticks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ddizzy81:
I wish jovy would come back one more time to make us a nice 4.4.2 rom.... Because I'm guessing this is one of the last updates we gonna see from T-Mobile anyways
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] NiMaD83:
Just flashed this on my tmobile S4 and when it loaded up the screen is flickering all black except for the status bar up top *which is visible but flickering.

Rebooted and now it seems to be stuck on the Darthstalker boot screen

*edit this comes after i enter whos phone this is and i get a "setup had an error needs to close" thing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] misterwal10:
Jovy... been with you for years now, and you are the best! Hope to see you on the s5!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] spyke1999:
Nah an update to 4.4.3 is coming
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brian117:
Jovy still isn't going to make a ROM for it, though. So best to find alternative ROM's if you're looking for newer Android versions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] driodman98:
Any recommendations? I need something that does aroma with the blue Ice cream sandwich theme that this rom has.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrdreamers:
is this TW?:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iulian vu:
Yes,it is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Arkain2K:
After much consideration, I've officially jumped ship to Insane Kit Kat V8 :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LoopDoGG79:
And also jumped ship in disrespecting a thread?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
A lot of us have moved on.. There's no need to update us in this thread that you've switched ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrdreamers:
is this 4.3 or 4.2?

and also what kind of customizing themeing is on this rom??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
4.3 based. Customization can be done with Wanam and/or Xblast so check those out to see what exactly can be done
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrdreamers:
if im coming from 4.4 mb4 modem should i odin back to mk2 since this is 4.3?:confused:

btw how is the batery life on this kernel?

also does xposed work on this rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
Battery life is great. Especially if you run Ktoonsez latest build for TW ROMS and have a good profile set. It's not needed but, will make your battery that much better. Xposed works fine. And keep the NB4 modem my friend, no need to downgrade. Don't think you can to be honest. Hope this helps!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrdreamers:
im finding that it take a long time to charge the battery will the Ktoonsez kernel help that as well?

btw do you know where or have a link to get the TW Ktoonsez kernel?

also can you provide a link to the best oc and battery life settings, im assuming that KTweaker will be the app to use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
Yeah that could be a kernel related issue so Ktoonsez might be able to fix that. Ktweaker comes with the kernel of course. I can't give you a recommendation as to which profile but here is the kernel thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2289140

Go through and see what others are saying about the different profiles. Also, make sure you download the correct variant. TouchWiz. Otherwise you could have some serious problems! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrdreamers:
how do you make the status bar transparent? :confused:

bcuz its not. :(

and how do i remove the wifi calling icon on the status bar without disabling it??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
I'm not sure how to remove the WiFi calling icon. It could be in Wanam. You can make the status bar transparent using Wanam xposed or Xblast. They both have options for transparent
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrdreamers:
how do you do it on wanam? i put the value to zero is that how? :confused: (BTW I'm from Las Vegas too!!)

i did it in xblast tools and it works but everytime i use a app or change screens it comes back solid black i have to turn off then on the screen to transparent it again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
Oh sweet, Summerlin area here. Wanam is built for TouchWiz ROMs specific so I'd use that over Xblast. Xblast has worked for me in the past but certain features didn't work. I'll download Wanam right now and see the transparent settings myself then I'll report back.

Edit: I cannot show the finished product as I'm on a AOSP ROM and Wanam doesn't support it. It will actually tell you when you launch the app on anything other then a Samsung ROM that it won't work. Anyways, so I went to status bar color then set the opacity to the left. The further left, the more transparent. Make sure you check the toggle in the top right to turn on this setting. This is important. Left is off, right is on. Just changing the values does nothing unless you turn it on. Then reboot your device... :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] notufatjesus:
Had your rom on my s3...just got my s4...super excited!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] misael06:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] reilus:
I don't think this ROM is supported anymore. I moved from here to PACMAN and from PACMAN to the new Lollipop ROM...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KING SKILLZ:
are you using root explorer? dont worry about it bro, i dont want you to jeopardize you system. i still got my girls s4 on V1, i'll rip it out of hers when she gets home, thanks for the effort though!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike105217:
Sorry i couldn't be of more help post a version for me as well will you please.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KING SKILLZ:
no worries, will do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Atmazzz:
I have that same problem. It may make it to 50 meg it may make it to 800 meg but it will always stop with an interrupted message. I tried over a dozen times and finally had to give up and download it on my slow WiFi.

I love the rom though. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Klutch84:
I flashed V2 this morning and all was fine except my mobile data was stagnant. I edited the APNs with no success. (Wifi worked tho).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bofiana:
Its all good. And hope theres no hard feelings from our convo earlier about full wiping vs. just flashing an update zip file. I just hate threads being flooded with bogus issues bcuz people didnt start with a clean install. Kinda like repeated questions about debloating the Rom! ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wavrunrx:
movin on to better roms; wicked here i come :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bofiana:
I'm not the Dev of this Rom so not hurting my feelings at all.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lolento:
Is there exfat support with this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: roms

Well there is one thing for sure, I am not going to miss you too much around here. LOL

What do you mean by moving on to better roms?

This Darthstalker rom is excellent, it's just about the best custom rom for the Galaxy S4 with all the mods and features it has.

Best of all it's the most reliable and error free custom rom around here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xXchrizhurtyXx:
No point in saying that in here. No one honestly gives a hell what rom your moving too from this rom. Put it in your sig and if someone cares they'll look..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] whytechapel_x:
This. No one cares. Good riddance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nismo35:
Running this rom for a few hours and so far so good. Is it just me or is the volumn turned up more than stock? i notification set to the 1st level and its much louder than a few notches on stock ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] whytechapel_x:
Flash on of the files in the OP. Either Stock volume or Moderate volume.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nismo35:
WOW cant believe i didn't see that. Feel like a NEWB :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] waiting89:
The hacked volume is awesome! i mean it can get a lil distorted but is great my friends all went like damn all the music from ur phone???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] zhenyu86:
nah, no hard feelings, i make the patch just for the people who whine & doesn't want to download another 1.4gb rom, haha, but i did mention in the post if ur having issue for being lazy, then it isnt my fault :) even tho i tested myself, no issues on my end
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nib:
I am on V1 of this rom, having a hard time getting hotspot to work. I connect to the phone, but no internet access. Can anyone confirm if tethering works? I am on unlimited data plan, but did not even touch my 500mb first, so its not a plan issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike105217:
I had the same problem and it got fixed with a factory wipe be warned though a lot of the "extras" will be gone when this happens i would suggest doing a full backup of apps you might want before hand.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bbobarino:
Omfg what a complete douche bag u should b banned NOONE WITH HALF A BRAIN WOULD SAY THAT IN THIS THREAD . How immature disrespectful for no reason. your better ROM lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike105217:
I think we should be able to let this go now and move one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] alexandroid5:
Can we talk about the cool ringtones the developer included lol :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nib:
Just curious, what extras are you referring to? Does not wipe only destroy your own installed apps/google account?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike105217:
Its like starting out with a clean system you basically have to set up everything again and apps like Tubemate that come with the rom go away.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nib:
I wiped as suggested, installed v2 and wiped it as well-still not working:(

Any ideas?

This is an awesome ROM otherwise, I would really love to stay on it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike105217:
Did you fix your permissions after the wipe sorry i usually just assume people do that after just about anything and forgot to mention it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nib:
Did the permissions, no dice.

Can anyone else confirm if tethering works for you?

Dev, am I missing something obvious?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tenxo:
Hey bro,

Only STOCK and VERY LOUD options I see in the add on section. Did you tweak one or the other yourself to get moderate increase, if so please share!

I'd like to start by saying this ROM is awesome. I love everything about it. The following problem isn't ROM related as I've had the issue with other ROM's as well and I don't think it is associated with any of them.

Does anyone else have issues with Google Play Movies stopping after about 8 or 9 seconds and then a chirping sound coming from the speaker?

I am running v2 of this ROM with the stock font and sound and the stock multiwindow as well.

Thanks in advance for any help availble.

I'm searched and cannot find any fix for this so if it's already been discussed I apologize.

Thanks,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike105217:
Cant say that iv seen that problem i usually just use MX player to play my movies but i tried to test it with the movies app and am not getting anything. I would use a different player or try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Let me know how it goes.
