[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
I switched a long time ago, but back then i was paying 80 bucks for less then what i have now and am now paying 67 a month for T-Mobile service. Granted, I lost a lot of coverage, but for what i use it for, its perfect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Greg1964:
I pay $80.00 a month everything unlimited.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xxjrsmith3xx:
for 4 lines I pay 120 :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] janitorjohnson:
I made the switch from Sprint. IMHO I believe that T-Mobile has hit bottom and can only improve their standing at this point. Verizon costs too much to even consider.

I will be paying $240 plus taxes and fees since switching to the new plan style........oh yeah....that price is for 8 Phones!!!! All unlimited calls, texts. Tthen two of the lines with unlimited data and the rest get the free 500 mb cuz they don't use a lot.
[Java for Android App Development] shermenz:
Hey everyone.

I'm a new developer, and I'll start with the mandatory apologetic prelude to my question, which is, I hope I'm in the right forum. Also, I've searched through the forums for an answer to my query, admittedly not too much, but the information seemed to be scarce.

Anyway, I'm a new aspiring Android developer, and I'm making my baby steps into coding for my favorite mobile OS.

Since I'm just starting right after the latest I/O, my attention is leaning toward the welcoming Android studio. The problems that arise are:

A. No tutorials for this new environment.

B. It's surly buggy.

So my question really, is the Android studio the right place to start in? Or am I better off starting with the ADT Bundle, which includes (I assume) all the stuff I need to get started with.

Thanks a bunch!

p.s

I'm sorry for any typos etc, English is not my main language. :cyclops:
[Java for Android App Development] Tolriq:
You should not :)

This is a 0.1 release and you'll loose more time trying to find why things don't work than learning android.

Depending on what you want to do with Android (little apps for you or bigger project later) I'd recommend either to go with eclipse since it will still be maintained and you'll have most tutorial on it.

If you want to think about future I'd go with real IntelliJ to learn using it and be ready for future Android studio and all the gradle things that will come.
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
I agree. :good:
[Java for Android App Development] shermenz:
Thanks for the reply.

IntelliJ it is.

Is there a specific course you might recommend?

Thanks again.
[Java for Android App Development] coolbud012:
Go with eclipse, even IntelliJ is same as Android Studio... Rest is upto you.

Happy programming, Good luck!!
[Java for Android App Development] pratamawijaya:
i think u must try develop on eclipse first.. because alot of tutorial android with eclipse IDE
[Java for Android App Development] atishpatel2012:
I suppose i agree with the other people somewhat, but i've just started following tutorials and using android studio. I haven't really ran into any major issues, and i think going through and trying to find something myself really helps me learn. I guess it depends on how adventurous and patient you are. I haven't really found any bugs, but you could wait till an update that fixes major bugs if you want. Oh and it looks nicer, and is a bit more handy than eclipse. :) good luck
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
Yeah, I find it better for coding. However, I have already experienced some bugs. But they are just related to the layout preview thing. So nothing serious.

I still think that for new developers it is better to start with Eclipse due to the amount of tutorials for it, but I agree that it is a great learning experience. :good:
[Java for Android App Development] JasonKZLY:
Hope I'm Not Too Late!

I Hope I'm not too late, I learned Java first. What I'd suggest you to do is go to Google, look up "Learn Java MyBringBack." Click on the first Youtube Video. The videos are made by Sir Travis Cornelius:D. I love that guy, he's awesome! He teaches Java to beginners in a way everybody will love.

After getting past the 5th or 6th tutorial. If you can, then buy a "Beginning Java for Dummies" book. There are a lot of things about Java which can't be explained in a video.

Please Do Check it Out

;)

P. S: I'm not trying to gain views for that video, I'm just telling you this because of personal experience!

What should the DPI on the GS4 be set to for a stock look? I tried 320 but it stayed small.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] greekunit690:
Stock is 480
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] ChaosMinionX:
Thanks!

Slimbean up and running, and boy does the GS4 feel like a whole new beast :) Good work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] blk_jack:
Guys, I love CWM as much as the next guy, but Dees_Troy has updated TWRP for jflteatt to 2.5.0.2 (loki patched). Flash it with GooManager or get the img directly here.

I've heard a few reports of wonky external SD card issues w/ CWM. TWRP doesn't suffer from anything like that so give it a whirl if you're having issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] LostInMyHead:
blk_jack you are my hero!!!! Slim on my S4!!!! You may have my sister anyway you'd like!!!!!

With TWRP, have you had a successful restore yet? anyone?

Sorry, wrong thread. Mod please move to the TWRP thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] LostInMyHead:
Just an FYI for other users. The APN was selected on ATT and not PTA, and the network mode was not on LTE \ GSM \ WCDMA

This may be due to the fact that I setup the phone before swapping the SIM from my Motorola StarTac.. No Slim?! I use the StarTac!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] freemeech:
Call audio not working? Which one?? I want to install this but please clarify for me I'm an idiot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] LostInMyHead:
Calling works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] freemeech:
Thanks I will wait till I can figure out how to do all this..I'm used to Odin I've downloaded all files needed but confused how to wipe and install..lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] blk_jack:
There is an upstream issue with all the jflte builds where audio calling with a headset (bluetooth or line in) doesn't work. Regular bluetooth and regular calling works perfectly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] freemeech:
Thanks I have figured out what to do...sorry its been awhile since I flashed..getting used to Goo manager
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] fkinrawr:

Can I use the Samsung Keyboard with this ROM?, I like the "top row with numbers" from the Samsung Keyboard, thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] cbazz1378:
I believe there is an add on for it on the Slim website, if it works or is compatible with our s4 ROM I don't know, but I did use it on my last 2 phones and it worked pretty good. I am still gonna keep my fingers crossed we get a flashable add on made for our stock s4 cams down the road...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] LostInMyHead:
On PC, use EaseUS Partition Manager Free
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] Rotary Parts:
It is ASOP if it has the 4.2.2 camera you prob can

second post i've seen this question. flash a TW rom so you can have your keyboard. there are two of them in the TMobile section. :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] eyi:
I unrooted, did a factory reset via recovery, and flashed the stock ROM via Odin to do a clean install of Slim Bean. However, I keep getting the Custom unlock icon on boot. I'm confused because I formatted cache, dalvik-cache, data, and system. Shouldn't the icon be gone? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] LostInMyHead:
You flashed the stock unrooted ROM with Odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] eyi:
Yeah. Is that wrong? :silly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] h3r3tic:
Once flashed I believe that's the way of Samsung showing the device was once rooted. Same thing as the flash counter that was a galaxy note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] eyi:
Ah I see. Thanks for that info. Is there any way to remove it once Slim Bean has been installed? I tried using the Install SuperSU > update binary > uninstall Superuser method mentioned in the root guide on here, but I couldn't find Superuser. Is it built in somewhere?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] LostInMyHead:
In Settings
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] eyi:
I don't see it in Settings > Superuser, Settings > Apps, or in Titanium?

EDIT: Is it Settings > Superuser > Settings > Superuser Access > Disabled? This won't interfere with SuperSU, right? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] LostInMyHead:
Sorry, forgot you had flashed stock. Look in Manage Apps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] eyi:
I'm on Slim Bean now. Unfortunately, I'm still getting the Custom icon after installing SuperSU, updating binary, and disabling Superuser in Settings :eek: Not a big deal at all.

Not related, unchecking "Auto-add widgets" in Play Store settings still adds widget to home screen. Has this already been mentioned? Again, not a big deal. Thanks, guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] LostInMyHead:
The Custom icon will always be there if you are running a custom ROM... Are you trying to go back to completely stock with no custom icon?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] eyi:
Sorry for the confusion. I was not aware that the icon would always be there when running a custom ROM. I had Slim Bean installed and the icon on boot was bugging me, so that's why I decided to do a clean wipe. The thing that was confusing me was that even after unrooting and flashing the stock ROM, I was still getting the icon. But as someone mentioned, it is probably just there to act as a sort of counter. Everything is fine now. Just my OCD :eek: Thanks for the help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] Spunjah413:
That cannot be true as I do not have the custom Icon. I was previously rooted and did the SuperSU trick to get rid of the icon on the stock ROM. I have yet to see the custom Icon during several reboots of Slim Bean.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] LostInMyHead:
This has been mentioned to the devs. I was able to fix it by repeatedly unchecking and rechecking the box.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] h3r3tic:
I mean I'm not 100% sure it's been there since day one on my nexus 7 and I have it as well maybe depends on how you rooted Your device. I didn't use moto chopper.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] eyi:
Now that's weird. What were the steps that you took? I tried:

factory reset -> flash stock ROM via Odin -> OTA update -> root w/ motochopper -> flash TWRP -> install SuperSU -> update binary -> freeze Superuser -> reboot twice -> install Slim Bean & gapps

This did not work. So I tried removing the icon after installing Slim Bean:

. . . root w/ motochopper -> install Slim Bean & gapps -> install SuperSU -> update binary -> disable Superuser -> reboot twice

Unfortunately, this did not work either.

Hahaha :laugh: Alright, I'll try it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] Spunjah413:
I did not take the OTA. I rooted via Motochopper, Installed SuperSU, updated Binaries, Uninstalled SuperUser, rebooted twice and got ride of the Icon in the Stock Rom.

After that I simply Goo'd TWRP and booted into recovery, made a backup, then flashed Slim Bean and Gapps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] LostInMyHead:
So you are on SlimBean with no padlock icon?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] Spunjah413:
Yep running Slim Bean with no custom padlock icon on boot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] BlastTyrantKM:
Why do people keep complaining about missing the stock Samsung features? You've just just flashed a custom ROM...You should know you're gonna lose ALL the Samsung features. If you like the Samsung features, don't flash a ROM. And stop asking if someone can port Samsung features to this ROM. What you're asking is this, "Can you make this ROM exactly like Samsung's stock ROM?" What's the point in that? :confused:

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

The BENEFIT of a custom ROM for the S4 is that the Samsung features are GONE....and I don't think I'm the only one with that opinion
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] eyi:
Lol I don't know how you got yours to work by repeatedly unchecking and rechecking the option in the Play Store, but... in Nova Settings > New Apps, there's an option for Auto-add shortcuts. I disabled the options in both the Play Store and Nova.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] freemeech:
Another bug I noticed that has been mentioned is the wifi and Bluetooth kinda screw with each other..sorry just a minor issue seems like activating Bluetooth will knock WiFi off ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] blk_jack:
I've noticed this too actually and the immediate workaround seems to be to just toggle wifi. It's likely an upstream issue that will iron itself out as time goes on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] sholsten:
Does toggling fix the Bluetooth issue too?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] beeznhoney:
Does any know why in network mode It's changing from LTE / GSM / WCDMA (which I want for LTE) to WCDMA Preferred as soon as I back out of settings?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] blk_jack:
This is not the case for me. I set it to LTE/GSM/WCDMA and it sticks after leaving settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] beeznhoney:
Okay I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a save button I was missing

---------- Post added at 12:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 AM ----------

I found the issue..

When I changed the performance to asswax it automatically changed my network settings to WCDMA Preferred.

What setting of the processor do you all operate on?

samsung galaxy s4 system software not authorized by at&T has been found on your phone

I had installed the Goomanager and can make a backup of my phone. Downloaded this ROM and installed it.

During reboot, the 1st screen shows this :

"system software not authorized by at&T has been found on your phone"

How do I fix this?

Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] hamzer11:
This was not a review. You just went through the menus. Reviews would include launching major features like camera, browser, audio recording, etc to show how well they work and respond so we can compare to TW. I gotta say though, flipping through the menus looked incredibly fast.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] bfinleyui:
So I know bluetooth call audio doesn't work, but what is the behavior? Does it just revert back to the handset, or do I need to manually switch off the headset option in the call screen?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] felek73:
You can't hear anything using BT headset , after manually switching to handset you also can't hear anything ..next call via headset speaker (with BT switch off) is OK
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] bfinleyui:
Well that's a bummer. Hope nobody expects to talk to me in the car :)

Does anyone know if the OTA updates for slim will be offered in this loki version? Or will we have to continue flashing the updates as they come along?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] freemeech:
Probably continue flashing.. I'm waiting on 5.7 lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] iKat:
Anyone else have the issue of it just continuously trying to boot? I'm gonna try to reflash it, so hopefully that works. I'm using the CWM auto-loki that's in the other development section.

Edit: Reflashed it three more times. Now it freezes @ Samsung battery screen when charging, or if I wait long enough it'll unfreeze. Still loops at Slim Bean startup, what sucks though is that for one thing it mounts as an MTP device so it seems like it's on but just not initializing, another thing is that the original flash I was able to get to the slim bean battery charging screen (but obviously still couldn't turn it on)

Edit2: Thinking it might be a kernel issue, since I installed ktoonsez's AOSP kernel when I installed it. Any recommendations of a kernel to use? I'm using the CWM recovery that has auto loki so, I could probably use ones made for 9500,9505, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] drdingo21:
This maybe a dumb question but I haven't messed with DPi that much.

I love the higher dpi of the ROM but is there a way to set the keyboard higher so that its bigger?

*edit* I mean swiftkey

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

Did some more searching - Setting the keyboard height in swiftkey settings to Large Fixed it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] h3r3tic:
SwiftKey = thumbs up. Stock kernel = best for this ROM so far. Slim bean = awesome ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] LostInMyHead:
I think you just solved my problem, thanks man...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] cbazz1378:
The Native DPI of this ROM is way smaller than the Stock 480 DPI of the GS4. That was one of the only things that bothered me after installng this ROM was that everything got so tiny, especially my Swiftkey keyboard.... I needed a fix since I have the chubby finger problem so I turned the size setting in Swiftkey to large, but it still seemed pretty small. It wasn't until after I changed the custom DPI setting in the ROM to the GS4's native 480 that everything looked great! IMHO the ROM is now perfect.... Gotta take advantage of that big beautiful screen!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] kuulhus:
Can anyone check and tell me if the notifications from twitter/facebook/instagram are working for them? i don't get any notifications other than text messages. Maybe because of my DPI?

Get something like Better Battery Stats or similar app to monitor any wake locks you may have that prevent the phone from sleeping.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] cbazz1378:
I didn't see that anyone responded to your concern, but I just wanted to report that I am having the same problem with notifications. I also changed my phone to SGS4's native 480dpi, but I am not sure how this would affect notifications? Neither facebook or twitter Notifications are working for me either.

Here is the behavior...

Upon a fresh reboot - Neither app shows as running on the runing apps tab and both show under cached processes but no notifications come....

After starting both apps manually - Facebook shows under running apps tab now, but Twitter oddly still shows nothing even though it is running and is still in the recent apps list with facebook. Still no notificatioins.....

After closing both from recents list - facebook still shows in running aps which I think is normal behavior, and twitter still does not show at all. Still no notifications from either?

This is very strange, does anybody have any advise? Any settings to check? Any problems to look for? This is the first real hiccup I have run into with this ROM, but no social media notifications seems like a big deal.

***No XDA tapatalk updates are working either***

Story time...

This is my very first Android phone (GS4 AT&T), very first root, very first bootloader unlock, very first recovery...

I must say this ROM has saved my GS4 from a quick return to AT&T for an iphone 5. I hated the bloat, the TWiz, the lag... everything. But I ran in to XDA which lead me here. I am not only an Android fan from here out, but a Slim Bean fan as well. THANK YOU for alll your hard work!!
