this rom isnt not compatible with safestrap right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SeanHacker:
You would have to ask in the safe strap thread to see what people say they can use. This is just a ROM and has nothing to do with safestrap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Shckr57:
Ok I am beyond lost. Everything has been going downhill in the last few weeks. I was having problems with the proximity sensor, the touch screen, sd cards. I keep trying to get a clean start by wiping the phone, installing a clean rom, but new issues keep popping up.

Right now, I can start with a clean wipe, but I cannot use an sd card as the phone no longer will recognize it an any recovery no matter what the format is, besides the fact that this phone has killed 3 of them already. So adb it is

adb is setup, connect my phone

Wipe it clean. After wiping I have to reboot recovery 2-3 times before adb stops sending the error "error: closed"

Put it in sideload mode

cmd: c:\>adb.exe sideload adb/aokp.zip

let it finish installing then restart the phone. The phone will boot up, and work 100%, until I restart it.

I can change everything or nothing after I install it, and it will sit at the Samsung logo forever, never doing anything

I can install any rom, same problem. I have tried everything I can think of and imagine, and I am stuck.

I am now getting "This program has stopped responding" on a fresh install

It's usually 2-3 different programs, and they change on each new install

Please can anyone help. besides just buying a new phone. And i'm not getting the S5...

This is not a ROM issue by the sounds of it...you need to take a question like this to s4 general q&a..

This thread is for ROM specific dev issues only which you would know if you read the OP my friend.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kpirnie:
i dont want to sound argumentative and I apologize upfront if it seems that way.

as a developer i have the utmost respect for other developers.

However, I'm not real sure how that answers this question. It is rom specific, especially due to u stating the it is flashable in every recovery...

Is it my guess that "every recovery" means every recovery, or just the ones you have tested it on... if that is the case then may I suggest updating your OP for the rom to state that because it throws off the wrong impression... hence why this question was asked.

i am going to download it now and see for myself... and will report back my findings...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SeanHacker:
You should've downloaded and tried it yourself in the first place. You know as well as I do that devices that deal with safestrap bs are different. I'm not going to update my thread for something that I've never had to deal with or something I don't know about. It's fine how it is. It doesn't throw off any wrong impression. It is exactly what it is and those that have to deal with safestrap need to read about it and learn what can or cannot be flashed on their devices. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kpirnie:
And yet your OP states

Which tells me, and probably everyone else that you tested it in every recovery... including Safestrap

It's really a quick edit man, just to change that line to

I'll let you know how it goes, I may have to update the updater-script but we'll see :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SeanHacker:
Yes my OP states that. Safestrap wasn't even a thing when I posted the ROM. Not sure how it's possible to test safestrap on a device that's never needed it. It doesn't work that way dude.

The OP stays how it is. Safestrap guys need to do their own research. It's better that way. I'm not going to add something that I know nothing about. You guys are on your own in that respect as I don't have any info to give on it. You guys have your own process to flash and it's separate from how I support this ROM to be flashed. I only support what I have/know. :)

This may seem, like a stupid question, I am running the build from 6/17/14 I came over from CM11 and I cannot seem to find the OTA updater, I looked in the settings like it said in the second post but am unable to find it, Is there something I am missing? I ran an over the top install and had some issues so I reverted, I wanted to try the OTA before I did a clean install.Thank you in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SeanHacker:
OTA hasn't been a part of this ROM for months.

Awesome Rom

Hey Task,

I don't have any Q&As for you but since I have so little posts I am not allowed to post this in the development thread.

I just want to say thank you for all your hard work into this rom and I am loving it. It has all the features I need and runs smoothly. I think it is the best out there. Great job!!!!:)

Aww is there not brightness control on this rom yet? I enjoyed dropping my darks REALLY dark :(

Also with the JB black theme, I am unable to see the percentage sign instead the battery. Looking forward to he release man.

Also anyone, I am excitd about the return of the static toggles, how can I lay the brightness bar down on top (as oppsed to hitting the bulb and having a brightness line cum up) and just pull down nad set brightness?

Call Rejection

Would anyone be able to tell me where the "Call Rejection" option is? It's normally under "Call Settings" but I can't find it in this ROM. I use it to block private and unknown callers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SeanHacker:
Hasn't been a part of this ROM in months. So it's not normally anywhere in this ROM. You really need to watch the changelogs, gerrit, or my git to see what features/settings are being included rather than expect this ROM to have what other ROMs have. This isn't other ROMs dude. This is this ROM. Otherwise this ROM would be other ROMs. Catch my drift? ;)

P.S- I've never heard of a "Call rejection" feature as long as I've been working with open source ROMs. It's always been called "Blacklist support" or "Blacklisting". It's something that was just recently merged the other day. So as of right now it's not part of this ROM. You'll need to wait until next release. http://gerrit.aokp.co/#/c/17646/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xdeslitx:
thanks...that's the problem with being around the forums for years...i start getting complacent and not reading as much lol. I actually used your rom exclusively on my S2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SeanHacker:
You probably didn't get a chance to read the last part of my post (you should).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xdeslitx:
There's just so much information that I can't keep up with it with my schedule. Like it freaked me out when I started seeing different development sections instead of just the one like it used to be hahaha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SeanHacker:
You only really need to keep up with whatever device you own (whether original development/development it's all the same). There's really not that much info to keep up with when screwing around with one device. You shouldn't overwhelm yourself with information not related to what you are wanting to accomplish.

The order should go:

1.) Read any important stickies (there's usually only one or two) in your device forum unless you know what you're doing. And that means you KNOW what you're doing. It doesn't apply to those that THINK they know what they're doing.

2.) Read the ROM OP/Search the ROM thread for the ROM you are going to use. That includes OP, changelogs, gerrit/git if applicable, and searching the thread for any questions you might have prior to flashing. In short. Don't let what looks like a lot of info get you overwhelmed. It's really not that much. :)

3.) Done. Enjoy the ROM you've chosen.

With that said. It really only takes anywhere from 10-30 minutes depending on the comprehension level of the user. Most all of this stuff for the average user should be very simple. It's usually just a couple clicks and downloads away from custom ROM'ing. It's the ones that skip steps and don't read a little prior to screwing around that end up with the "I BRICKED MEH PHONE" threads!!! PLEASE HELP". :)

P.S- This post isn't just directed at you. It's meant to help others also. Hopefully those that have issues figuring out what to do will read this and it will help give a slight outline of everything. :victory:

Don't get why they stopped including the changelog in the OP
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SeanHacker:
Who are you responding to and who is they? Please use the quote button. It's there for good reason.

I am the one that makes any changes to MY OP. Not they or whoever you are talking about. Sounds like you might be in the wrong thread.

Also. I do include a changelog in the OP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] zetsui:
I mean like a scrollable version of it. Not just a link
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SeanHacker:
You should make one for yourself then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] zetsui:
Task from a dev's perspective why do you have to re-add so many features in Kitkat. I'm no dev but paying with the sdk there were a lot of options on various features that allowed for 4. 1. 2 ics as a minimum standard. Why is that not the case here where you have older features in a new ROM that are phased out with newer kitkat features?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SeanHacker:
I have no clue what you are asking here as it doesn't really make any sense. Minimum sdk requirements are usually for apps. Meaning if you choose ics as the minimum requirement, all devices with that and up can use the app. This doesn't apply at all to features built into the OS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] force70:
I think one thing people forget is the Developers are building what THEY want and prefer in a rom and are just kindly sharing that with us the masses.

Task probably builds what he likes...why wouldn't he..its his rom lol? I could be way off base here but that's how it would be if i were a developer

I posted this question in the main thread by accident. I should've known better after all this time, but I was frustrated and not paying close enough attention.

Anyway, I'll post it here again in the hope that I might find a solution.

I just upgraded my headphones from the Shure SE535 to the Shure SE846, and now I'm getting popping very frequently from my new headphones when I play music ( I have the at&t version of the s4). When I try playing the same files on my laptop through the new headphones, they work perfectly, so I know the headphones are not the culprit. I was using a very old version of this ROM, so I tried upgrading to the latest one (I did a complete wipe, because I'm not a total moron) thinking that might solve it, but I still have the problem. I tried poweramp, but it does it there too. My old headphones don't do it at all, even on the S4 with the same music files.

Any ideas task or anyone else? I know this is a VERY specific issue, which might be some kind of hardware problem, but other people said it was an old software problem that was fixed a while ago, so maybe you have an idea (kernel settings? some audio setting?) I'm desperate here!

No Audio - DSP Manager FC

Verizon S4 Dev Edition

AOKP (4.4.4) (7.29.2014) (Unified)

Philz Touch 6.50.6

From first boot after a clean install (wipe data.factory reset, wipe dalvik, install rom, install gapps) I get no audio from calls to Bluetooth Audio streaming. This was an issue in the previous version as well.

Opening Google Music and playing a local file (that worked before) DSP Manager shows a force quit window and Google Music says it cant play the requested track. No other music player works for any music file. Even hitting Volume Up (where your supposed to hear the example tones gives me nothing.

Attached is the logcat where I recreated the issue twice. I had to split it into 2 files to accommodate file size requirements.

I'm an idiot

I can't find the answer to this, so at the risk of getting yelled at, here goes.

And if there is already a discussion that I missed, just shove me in that direction.

Anyway, on task 650 rom from may 4th. Worked FANTASTIC. Decided to sell phone. Did a factory reset. Rebooted to make sure all was good. It was. Set the phone aside for a few days. Came back to it in order to take pictures of it for the listing. Here is where it got sticky. It got stuck on splash screen.

The only thing I've been able to do is a full wipe and reinstall. But then if I factory reset, the same thing happens.

I also tried restoring a my original rooted stock backup in twrp, but it also sticks on splash screen.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Att i337..I know I must be missing something..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] a103:
Try doing a factory reset in recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] brian314g:
Thanks for replying! Yeah, I did that... I can get back once, but then if you reboot it gets stuck again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] alacrify:
Then go to adb and reflash the factory image - that will wipe it down to the root. If that doesn't work, something is burned out...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] brian314g:
Ok off to find that factory image.. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Don't bother trying. There is no factory image you can flash with adb!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] alacrify:
So, this means what? http://www.androidbeat.com/2013/11/flash-factory-image-nexus-device/ - and I've done the same to my S4, so don't give me nonsense about hardware.

If my terminology was wrong, I apologize. If you don't want to help, don't post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
You're full of you know what, there's no way you can flash a factory image with adb on a nexus device, let alone an s4. On the s4 you'd need Odin. On an n4 you'd need fastboot

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] brian314g:
I thought that was strange, but hey, I'm the idiot here...

Anyway, one thing I did try before was Odin, but I think I was doing something wrong because I couldn't get it to work. (Can you tell yet that I'm a little lost?..lol)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
What firmware version are you on? You'll need to flash the right version in Odin. If you're running task I assume you're on mdl? If so go to sammobile.com for the firmware. You'll download a zip, extract it. You should have a .tar.md5 file. Use that in odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] brian314g:

You should start a new thread in q&a and take it out of this thread
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SeanHacker:
The problem is that there are too many types of s4's out there. There are different prerequisites for each of them. I would strongly advise you to go to your devices specific section whether it be AT&T, Verizon, ect... Then find the correct firmware and flash back to stock. Then read up a little and flash when you get the hang of it. There's no sense in touching your device until you do that. If you brick your device you've defeated the purpose of customizing it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] brian314g:
That's what I was doing, flashing back to stock.. On the att variant... I'm by no means an expert, but I've been following directions and rooting, running custom roms, etc since the G1 without an issue... Maybe I was just due for this... I will do some more research tomorrow when I can. Seriously, thanks guys. I really appreciate the help.

Hi everyone,

With KitKat still being kind of buggy for the S3 (from what I've read on the CM11 thread), does anyone have from task his most recent build of Jellybean? I looked in the archives and I could find builds from summer of 2013, but nothing from late Fall/Winter of 2013 which would have CM10.2/10.2.1 in the build.

[Edit: Going back to the dev thread, looks like 10-31-13 was the last build put together for 4.3 - anyone have this?]

If anyone has a link to those builds, I would really appreciate it!

New Firmware in Germany - Question & Some Praise

Love the work that you do and this FAQ :good:, has helped clear up several issues that I have had with the market not playing nicely.

Here is a small token of my appreciation for your hard work and dedication in supporting and updating our phones : 5JG66468N5176715V (I have been on your ROM since you started on the S3.)

My question is about the new firmware that is out and if you plan on trying to incorporate it once it's deodexed and all that jazz...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SeanHacker:
1.) Thanks. I appreciate it.

2.) Incorporate a touchwhiz firmware into an AOSP based ROM? That's not how this works. Those firmwares take no relevance to this ROM. So no. Not going to happen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jhsperc:
Okay

1) My pleasure - I know what it's like to get consistently knocked over the head and rarely praised.

2) Then let me change the scope of the question. In the newest firmware that Sammy released they are resurrecting the ability to move apps to the external SD card. Is this a change that could be ported over to ASOP? and if so, is it something that you would consider adding? In programming terms, how difficult would it be to add? I have the 16 GB version and I have a 64 GB MicroSD card and it would be nice to free up space on the internal card.

Thanks for the uber quick response!
