[MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION] , you have done it again !

As you may know me by now I am the laziest bastard on Earth , and besides a Nandroid, I start with dirty flashing 7.3 on top of 7.2 : results - AS USUAL works flawless out of the box. No restore needed. After that, install X posed 2.2 , and reboot. DONE !

Second - Let the phone take its course for few hours. Observations:

1. The default Kernel you chose works fine. Tweaks to my liking.

2. Speed and responsiveness: I bet even Sammy's engineers would not have hoped to such performance..

3. Battery - Although newly flashed, where normally it should get a bit better over time, this 7.3 started with absolutely no battery drain. The only quirk is I still have to have GPS off (Really no need to have Google services update and snoop me up as far as location.. I know where I am at, they should not.. hehe)

Loving it. But I have one real problem - you started boring me with no issues time after time.. It is simply d/l , flash, and then nothing..

Where are the good old days my phone got boot loops and soft bricks ? :cool:

Have a super great weekend . I certainly am going to have mine pretty soon starting, as I leave the office early..:p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rfb813:
7.3 has been very smooth and fast. The Chronic Kernel appears to be the best so far. We have made progress from 7.1 with the Adam Kernel, 7.2 with the Ausdim Kernel and now 7.3 with the Chronic Kernel. Each has progressed and been better. This Rom with the 6.3 tweaks and the new kernel is a super combination. Now to let the Rom settle in and see how the Battery life is. Performance wise it is great. Have a drink on me for another great Rom: 3G422773B8817863F.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Nice glad your enjoying it

Thank you very much man! Very nice of you to say! And thanks for the detailed feedback I always enjoy them!

First thank you again for beta testing this with me .. And thank you for that man beyond nice of you !!! And thank you for all you do!

Got a new ATT S4. Just wanted to know if there is any functionality or US only feature that doesn't work on this Goldeneye ROM but works on the AT&T ROMs?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Since this is a newer fw Sammy has optimized things a bit more changes some things under the hood ..

Make sure that your device did not come with mf3 .. Other wise you will need to use safe strap
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ombheembush:
Other than using safe strap to flash this ROM, will I lose some functionality compared to ATT ROMs?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] karelson:
Hey all, i have updated to 7.3.

I have att s4. Still have 2 problems. First, battery drain very fast. Second, random freze in apps.

What karnel shoud i try? Or any suggestions to solve this?

Did clean install like OP said.

Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
No .. If you don't like it try mdob which is an mf3 based latest att fw
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] walletless:
What is the difference between ausdim v4 and v17 kernel? Sounds like v17 is newer - why would you want to try v4 then? Is v4 just more stable than v17?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Try them all.. I'll be honest no lag at all for me .. What did you restore ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Newer isn't always better and vice versa .. Ausdim added more to 17 .. But the best way to find out is test them back to back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] caanda45:
iB4STiD if I am running 6.3 will those addons work? Or do I have to re-download them....saw one poster said they were successful....pls advise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] karelson:
What do you mean?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ryderz17:
I put English (US) as default and russian as a second...does it make a difference to the symbols above the letters?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Yes I defaulted the secondary keys to work with English ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Yes if you updating to 7.3 redownlosd all addons other wise your using old fw baswd apks

Go to the alternative kernel section and try different kernels .. I think you should wipe your internal sd with philz recovery but first backup

cleaning the phone from old data makes a difference sounds odd but true saw this on my gf s3 and my s3 I owned for a bit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ryderz17:
Is there any way to get them on the other languages?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Ya send me a pm ... This way I don't forget also tell me what languages
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] karelson:
So I can just flush philz recovery? on top of my recovery?

How then I format the sd?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] BigE:
Nope.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Flash philz with ur current recovery go to mounts and wipe internal .. Backup what u need first ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] BigE:
Longer version: bloat ware is removed. You can get Sammys crap back from the OP and AT&T crap from the Google store. Unlike AOSP, this ROM is TW in nature and has it all. The one slight exception is the kernel is not Sammy Original as they did not yet released the source code for Mhl.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kjpedro:
Ib4stid I love you in a non gay way!! Thank you for sharing your work! You make me love my phone and I think I won't change to the note 3 just yet! I'm digging my s4 too much!!

Lol thanks man ... I'm glad your enjoying it and thank you for taking the time to leave feedback!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jgav71:
iB4STiD, I just clean flashed 7.3 and everything is flying along perfectly. I did notice that the build number in About Phone still says 7.2 though. Thanks for the great rom!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Thanks man.. Redownload att net icons and flash that ... It will change build number to 7.3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ombheembush:
I got mf3 and I am following the steps below

1) Rooted the phone with the microsd card method

2) Installed Safestrap recovery

3) Going to ODIN the AMDL (1.6) GB one linked in the ATT intall guide on the OP

4) Will install the GoldenEye ROM using the Safestrap recovery.

Please let me know if any of the steps above are wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jgav71:
Thank you! That was a quick response!! :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
No don't not flash anything in Odin if you have mf3.... Go to the safestrap thread and make sure you follow instructions ... You have no way to get back to stock ask for help there and take your time !!!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Anytime man!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bruceo:
So far so good. Right now in logcat I am seeing a consistent error. Same one as here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43472949
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ombheembush:
Thank you, I did not ODIN anything, was going to press the button and you asked me not to. Thanks again, I will go to safestrap thread and will ask the same question.

I got mf3 and I am following the steps below

1) Rooted the phone with the microsd card method

2) Installed Safestrap recovery 3.6

3) Will install the MDOB ROM (based of mf3 fw) using the Safestrap recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Ya.. Im sure u read thro the thread its a kernel call to system/bin .. Best to ask the kernel dev about it . doesn't seem to impact anything also seems to be happening with different kernels

Good ... I haven't used safestrap they would be able to help you better than me I don't want to see anything go wrong
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ombheembush:
Yes, they did. The 3 steps above are right and I have to flash the MF3 safe kernel after flashing the ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] btgood:
Wireless still broken

So I did a clean install via safestrap and my wifi wouldn't power on...everything else seemed to be working. I wiped again in safestrap and reinstalled and it's still broken. I don't know what else I should try please help....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
K.. Let me know how it works out! On a side note a user told me he was able to run GoldenEye with safestrap I just know nothing about it

You have to go to the safestrap thread and apply the patch
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ombheembush:
Thank you, I just installed MDOB and booted it. I am kind of skeptical on installing GoldenEye with Safestrap. Will wait for that user to confirm here before I install GoldenEye. For now, I am content with MDOB. Thank for your help and you are such a wonderful dev providing good support.

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------

Is your phone an MF3 based one? If yes, did you flash the MF3 kernel module after flashing the GoldenEye ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jgav71:
In the op of the safestrap thread there is a download link for the mf3 kernel modules to fix wifi. I'll post it here in a few minutes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ombheembush:
So, do you think it's safe to flash the GoldenEye ROM on MF3 based phone using SafeStrap and then flash the mf3 kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jgav71:


---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

Im using goldeneye right now and absolutely love it! Once you flash the rom into a rom slot just flash the mf3 kernel modules. You can do this in the same session. One more important thing to know is that you can't flash any custom kernels when using safestrap. Just flash the mf3 module from the link I posted above from the safestrap thread after flashing the rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
No prob man!

Thanks man for helping out!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] str8spd2001:
So far everything on the Rom is great. I just ran the Benchmark test and got barely over 23000 where when I was on 7.1 I was getting consistent 27700-27800? Is this cause of the new kernel? This is from a clean flash no backup or anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] walletless:
So far all good with 7.3. One small problem though: I don't see the secondary keys on Samsung keyboard. Did a clean install, put the att icons, fb-sync,s-memo,crt effect add on. Keyboard language is not selected in input methods for Samsung keyboard songs (defaults to English us).. Any way to get the secondary keys back? I tried from Wanam xposed bit that does not work either...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Yes .. Keep in mind numbers r just that numbers.. Go to the alternative kernel section in install guides there you can flash any kernel you like

Select English and tell me if it switches
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] walletless:
English is already selected under languages and input. If I click the gear icon next to Samsung keyboard, then go to languages, the only option there is English (us).

No problems here ... Odd
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jgav71:
It is always better to do a clean install, however you can flash it over the old rom. Just be sure to wipe dalvick and cache. If you have any issues you can always wipe and do a clean flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
+1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] walletless:
Odd.. I did a Nandroid backup of data, booted into recovery, factory wipe, restored Nandroid data, and rebooted system and now i have the secondary keys back! The language is set to "Samsung default" which did not exist before once English is selected..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Reyland:
You can always use another kernel!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
My phone has mostly been charging the whole time so I can't speak on stability on chronic kernel(I decided to give it a try as I think kt kernel was giving me Bluetooth errors.

Anyway I can speak on performance and 7.3 seems to be running much better than 7.2 and I usually don't notice performance improvements even when others do.

Haven't tried Bluetooth yet or seen battery drain so hopefully all is well.

I feel sorry for mf3 folks, at least they can flash ROM's, sucks no kernels. Is there any chance of getting the boot loader unlocked on this phone?

Hey, going to install 7.3 on my canadian gs4. And I see that it's not in the instructions to go to AMDL baseband, is it because it's not necessary to do for the canadian version or it's just a mistake?

I'm currently on I337MVLUAMG1 baseband, and 6.1 GE going to clean install. just tell me if I need AMDL and instructions for canadian phone on first post or only the instructions and no AMDL

Another thing about the Sammy KYB , I only need Hebrew and US English there , there is no Hebrew but there are 50+ langs available :(

This Wanam app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wanam&hl=en didn't solve the KYB input as it suggested (it did the UI though - I have only English and Hebrew UI installed).

there might be a problem with GE and Wanam FW :confused:

I'm using GE 7.3 with Adam's 1.6 kernel on my i337m. It seems to run much better than the v17 Ausdim kernel included by the OP for the Canadian variants. I had some screen wakeup issues with Ausdim that I am not seeing on Adam.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] spocko:
iB4,

Given all the kernel stuff recently, it might be worth adding some info in the OP about version 5.x for people who would like to use a stock kernel. I do realize that the MH1 files are available at afh. A minor issue with those addons: there are 2 different files for remove BM nag, and the AOSP browser is not there.

No pressure, I know you are supposed to be resting.

Also a question about 7.x:

The statements about flashing ATT net icons to restore the i337 buildprop have me confused. That is not mentioned in the ATT install instructions in the OP. I kinda prefer the international icons. Is it possible to use the international icons and have the i337 buildprop at the same time? I haven't tried 7.x yet, just planning ahead. :)

Thanks as always!
