I'm on us cellular galaxy s4 with converter. Currently using chronic kernel. Does anyone know why my system might not boot into anything but download mode after flashing the elite kernel everyone is talking about? I've tried numerous times now. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
that's not the kernel that is your problem, I've been running elite with no issues

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

I'd stick with chronic kernel if that's working well for you... This is a verizon rom, and elite is a verizon kernel (im pretty sure)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattie_49:
Working great didn't know you couldn't crossover kernels though. Thanks alot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
I'm not 100% on that though.. I could be wrong, but if you keep running into issues during install/boot, I would avoid it.

do you happen to remember if smart stay worked on the stock optimized? (Ive only tried stock and elite so far).

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fluffasaur:
Rebooted to check if problem persists after running stable for a few hours.

Stuck at the custom lock again and will probably have to resort to booting into recovery (if it even boots in like last time) and wiping/restoring from backup again...

Anyone else have this problem or have any solutions to try?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
sbreen94, please send me a PM with your GTalk info or clear some PM's in your PM box. I have an issue with the AT&T version of the ROM that I am testing for you and when I tried to send you a PM it said that your box is full so I couldn't send it. Otherwise you can hit me up on GTalk at wizeguydezignz@gmail.com so I can explain the issue.

Thanks bro!

**EDIT** If JediMindTrixx sees this first, can you please PM me sbreen94's GTalk info so I can hit him up?

I have an issue where when you use the volume key to change the volume it causes the volume image to stay until you click on the outer edges of it. Don't think this is a major issue but I wanted to let you know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bd1212:
Anyone know how I can fix these data issues? Other than this, the ROM is perfect but this makes the ROM unusable since I can't use anything internet related.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] beho86:
8.1 is running pretty well. Great job!

I have only couple of issues. First, for some reason when I restored my widgets through Ti backup, everything went fine, but now I have google search widget on my lockscreen!!! How can I fix this? I am actually interested, as that means there is a way to have different widget with the pattern security!

My email keeps force closing randomly.

What options did you pick in aroma? What host are you editing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
Do you live in the sticks or anything? Maybe try toggling through the data modes or set airplane mode?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bd1212:
Nah man, I'm currently in LA and have great signal, LTE everywhere I go. Toggling airplane mode and changing data modes fixes it for about 30 seconds then the data just cuts and will not work even though the LTE signal indicator will remain in the status bad indicating I have service. I'll reflash later tonight, might've just been a bad flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Firemedic:
I am using KToonsez KT-SGS4 kernel on my dev edition and I have all the smart screen features working, Stay, Scroll etc. I also have PIP working. I haven't noticed anything that is broken yet. On 8.1 and loving it.

I found on Elite kernel I lost eXfat support and my SD card wasn't recognized. That hasn't happened on any other Kernels

Note: I am on a Dev edition phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dom2114:
comparison of kernels for smart-stay purposes

just performed a quick test on the Hyperdrive kernels (all except KToons because I couldnt download it from the Hub) to see which allowed smart stay functionality to work.

I tested: stock, stock-optimized, elite, chronic and faux.

The only one that I found smart stay to work was elite. However, this has an issue in that when the phone is powered off and charging, the charging icon seems to be frozen and you cannot turn the phone back on with the power button...you have to remove the battery and boot.

I realize some have mentioned that one needs to give a kernel time on the phone to 'set in', but I think this is more from a performance/battery life perspective. Elite's smart stay worked right after install, whereas none of the others did. Please let me know if I am wrong on this front.

FYI I did no testing on the performance/battery life of any of these ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kdubcr250:
Same results here !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
I am almost 100% sure I didn't choose the no ad setting. However when I finally got the host file to open it was full of 127.0.0.1 redirects. So it might have been left from the other rom. Idk I wiped 3x - reason I don't like the ads is because when clicking some links on Google it goes through their ad program before redirecting to the website. So sometimes it makes me not able to go to websites.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
I'm just curious as to why you have your phone off while charging?

Go to settings>lockscreen and make sure the multiple lockscreen widgets is selected, then you can drag down on the actual lock screen, then press and hold the widget and remove it.

I froze the stock email app because of that... I use Gmail anyways

One more thing, then I need some sleep or flashaholics anonymous. Have you found the darn coding for "Mobile Data Is Off" (reboot phone to homescreen)? I never leave my data on and I do believe Samsung has made their devices a little too cautious friendly.

Been running for the past 12 or so hours now, running into a few problems. The very first reboot got me stuck at the Samsung Custom Lock screen, but a battery pull and reboot seems to have solved it as all subsequent reboots have been fine and quick.

My problem is this: everything works fine and well for maybe an hour or two, then, it seems that only the most recently used apps will launch fine, while any new apps I attempt to run will open up but freeze on a blank black or white screen and not load. I can home key out of it or open the recent apps window to get out of the freeze, but have no idea how to fix this problem besides rebooting.

Can anyone help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xM Minton Mx:
Check to make sure you have enough free space.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
Is nottach exposed settings were giving me SystemUI force closes. I fixed permissions in recovery and all the settings reverted.... any correct way to do this?

Edit: also, is there anyway to set a custom lock screen widget if you use a pattern unlock? I set it to slide to unlock, removed the stock clock and put in cLock, then put the pattern lock back on and it went back to the stock clock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mightycaptain:
Did you also install V4A? If you enabled the extra loud, default value is 4x. it's pretty loud, especially for notifications. Even if slight is the effect strength. Change it to 1x and the volume will come down for your notifications. Had this happen to myself and that was what worked for me or disable extra loud if you don't always need it . If I want the extra sound I change it to some other value or reenable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattie_49:
Pull down your notification bar. That fixes it.

boot issues

I must say I love sbreen94's work. I've been running hyperdrive since I got my phone. But this latest ROM(8.1) has given me the same issues as described above. Installation works fine ROM boots perfectly, I followed all the instructions(factory reset, format data, wipe cache and dalvik, wait 10 mins after boot) but as soon as I reset my phone it will boot with the SAMSUNG and unlocked padlock logo and never get past that. I need to pull the battery then hold vol up + home+ power to get into TWRP(latest i think its like 2.6 downloaded from goomanager). Sometimes it will boot into recovery sometime it hangs on the TeamWin logo. Ive tried to wipe cache and dalvik but that doenst work. I figured I messed something up so I did the odin soft brick fix(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2301259). re rooted re installed TWRP Made sure the Md5's matched and tried again with same results. If I format and re-flash the ROM it will boot up on the initial boot but freeze at the SAMSUNG padlock boot logo every time I restart the phone. Also If the phone is off and I connect the charger The battery icon comes up like its loading then freezes there. I need to do a battery pull to get the phone to shut off. Anyone have any ideas? maybe i need to try a different recovery or kernel?

GPS works fine with MGA 3.2.2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfgrrl:
What framework and what app version are you running?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mpetruzz:
I installed the most current version of the app and flashed 3.2.2. Tried GPS three times today and got a lock each time. Also everything I've wanted to change with 3minit has worked perfectly.

I haven't noticed any other conflicts caused by installing it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DV8:
Okay this is what I have ran into with 3minit. 2.6 MGA works fine and gps continues to work. Installing 3 and up works fine but kills my gps. I understand that starting with 3 that it was a complete rewrite. Gonna try and contact the developer and see if I can get any info on what would have changed from 2 to 3 and see if it is possible to get a fix for 3 and up.

I was on version 7 with TWRP. I wiped 3 times even though I think it is not necessary. I installed 8.1..... everything was amazing for a day. I installed the viper driver for the A9 and then rebooted as prompted. it then got stuck on the samsung screen with the custom and the open lock. I let it sit for almost twenty minutes.... no change.

I read that others where having a similar issue with TWRP, so i reinstalled 7, downloaded rom manager and flashed Clockwork mod. I wiped again and attempted to reinstall 8.1 again. it installed okay and now I have been stuck on the same boot screen for over ten minutes..... about to try a battery pull and reboot. any help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfgrrl:
No system apps Greenify-ed - Facebook, SMS, Chrome, Dropbox, ebay, Foursquare, and Playboard. These things don't need to have constant internet access - only when in use. I still get my push notifications for SMS and FB though - just hibernates when nothing is going on.

Oh, I also have Tasker set to turn off any data when the screen is off. That helps a lot.

Hi Sbreen, The airplane mode exists in the EPM and in the notification panel toggles. Is it possible to have the option in the EPM switched to a hot reboot option instead? Just a suggestion. I am using third party apps and scripts to have the hot reboot now.

Question: When I am using the pattern security, would you know if there's moded clock widgets somewhere? I searched the forum and online. I only found that has different colors.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobby janow:
Only one way I have found. Turn off location services, last box of the three. Then reboot. Should be good to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rdefino:
What do I lose by turning off locations services?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CrookedKnight:
"Location Services" is the phone scanning nearby wifi to figure out your location. In theory it takes the burden off GPS and gives you a bit more accuracy, but in practice it often eats more battery than just leaving your GPS on all the time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
I found that the new Google Play Music did this to me, since I never used it I removed it and all went back to normal, of coarse this is on my ROM, but these are both ME7 based, so should work the same.

It seems Google is putting out updates that are battery killers.

Just my 2 cents :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rdefino:
I can't find google play music installed on my phone. Guess I didn't install it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Kool doing now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobby janow:
Then give the location services option off a shot. Another thing you lose, although not totally, is weather location information. It takes some time for the GPS to locate and update the weather. I get around that by doing a manual location when I have location services off. If I want roaming weather then I'll turn location services back on but then the battery drain starts again. I do have a charger wherever I go pretty much so it's not that big a deal. I just don't like seeing Google services at the top of the list all the time.

Best I can tell from all comments every where if your using TWRP, then 2.5.0.2 is the version you want installed. All others seem to be causing people issues. I'm using this version, and have been fine with all the flashing I've been doing. I'm a big fan of TWRP, so with a stable version that seems to work for this phone I prefer to use it over CWM. Personal preference. In the end it is about what gets the job done for you. There is a thread in original development for this version.
