I restored data through tb and I dont have any issues
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
App data or system app data ? See a lot of times people think a backup is fine but .. If only life was that easy .. A lot of times you may wonder why some users love 7.1 and other like 7.2 I'm willing to bet some of those users with issues are not exactly clean installing countless times I've seen people restore contacts or call logs .. That is not a clean install
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pete2275:
after flashing this rom how much free/available internal memory should there be?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Hmm you know what .. I have an idea .. Someone make a YouTube video on how to install GoldenEye from a clean install .. I'll post it in the install guides !!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
That will depend what your Keeping on ur internal .. For example

My device

9.50 total

8.69 free

Keep ur nandroid backups on ur external sdcard
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] BigE:
Under no circumstances I am going to advise other than IB4STid's advise (his my Guru) but as a matter of fact , after each Nandroid ( in case i'll get Jinxed) I dirty flash the update. I ONLY dare doing it with GE versions, since 3.0 . After that I need to re-install only Xposed , reboot, and viola , Works like new. Never had to clear any cache, never had FC , all is buttery smooth.

7.2 works great. battery life impressive (as usual?) . The only one thing I noticed on 7.0-7.2 is that pictures taken tend to be a bit blurry for some reason. I guess the original Sammy kernel has some sort of angel dust neither Adam or ausdim kernels have.. Had to play a bit with camera set up, and it still not as perfect as it was.. Shame, but not a ROM related bug for a fact..

Whoever dares to dirty flash like me, and then ***** about something, should be warned.. it is not recommended by our chef.. just me :silly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] brar.arsh:
Can I use new kernel with 7.1?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Yes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Nah man I hear ya , what you said is exactly right .. I know that if you dirty flashed and had an issue you would back track .. Its an experience thing.

I'm no smarter than anyone else, I just have a lot of experience due to time with android.. So if ur new and have issues or ignore instructions the knee jerk reaction may be to blame the Dev .. Which happens.

I go by this saying in order to break the rules you have to know the rules . if problems arise be your own Dev and back track why there is an issue

Flash the ROM first and use it for awhile.. Then start to slowly add back addons or backups this is the best way to track an issue .

and in closing if 100 people have no issues and 5 do ask yourself this

could it be your doing something different than the 95 ?

Hello all, I'm having a weird memory issue with my i337M. When the phone was stock it showed 16gb storage, after I flashed the ROM it showed 9.5gb storage. So I reverted back to 100% stock and it showed 16gb, I rerooted the phone and it was still at 16gb...flashed the ROM and now its 9.5gb...any ideas?

I read the thread that said to flash the stock recovery and do a wipe, and that should bring back the memory to what it should be but I cant find the stock recovery file to flash.

any ideas would be helpful cause this is starting to annoy me lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Thanks man .. I really have to organize this thread a little different

Have a recovery and kernel section!

Still looking for a way to replace s-voice with Google Voice Search with the newer GOLDENEYE versions.. Home2Shortcut does not work :(

For now I have configured Tasker to kill s-now and open Google voice everytime, but there is a noticeable delay in that process.. If someone has figured out a way to do this without tasker, please let me know.

Other than that, 7.1 is working great for me! Will be flashing 7.2 shortly. Thanks ib4stid, and please take some rest..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rfb813:
Put your tb backups on your external card also. You will be surprised how much space they take. By default it goes to the internal memory. You have to change that to external.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Anytime man.. What I do is this I get rid of svoice and the Sammy KB .. Then again I really like both Google replacements
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
I have a 16 gig I have never seen internal storage at 16 on stock .

Remember the os has to go somewhere that is taking up space
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ryderz17:
Wow that was quick. What I meant was it shows total storage 16gb (system files are 6.38gb), my phone is showing that the total storage is 9.5gb. I guess it sounded like I meant available storage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pete2275:
Holy crap 8.69 free?!?!?!?!

There's def something wrong with my setup then, I noticed I have like usbdisk1, usbdisk2, etc... Normal?

Any suggestions on how to clear out my internal and starting fresh before flashing back to this AMAZING rom?

The most I ever had free with only the rom flashed was 4.3GB :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Are you using safestrap?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pete2275:
Nope, don't even know what it is
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
OK good

Do this .. Backup all the stuff you need from internal storage and place that in a safe place on ur PC

On ur external sdcard place my ROM

Download and flash philz touch recovery with ur current recovery .

Boot into philz recovery, and go to mounts choose to format internal storage

Then wipe factory reset, flash rom and reboot .. Then check out ur internal storage :)

I'm on Alpha rom which is MDB. Do I still need to flash a MDL based rom via Odin before flashing this rom or can I just wipe everything with philztouch and flash this rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ryderz17:
The total storage changes from 16gb to 9.5?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Well since this is using a custom kernel you should be OK actually
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] milicigoran:
Ok. Thanks. I plan on flashing kt's kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
No prob let me know what you think
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pete2275:
Quick question, currently on 7.1 and it's working great with 3minit MI1, can I flash 7.2 and use the same 3minit?

Also, main post says baseband ND build should be MDL, my baseband is MDL but since flashing rom v7.1 my build now says MI1, do I need to Odin back to MDL or just flash Philz recovery and then your rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Its the os taking up space .. Best your going to get is 9.02 I believe of free storage
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jgruberman:
How long is it supposed to sit on the Galaxy S4 screen before booting after install? *uh oh*
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
No your fine no need for Odin .. I would also recomend wanam xpoosed until 3minit frame work matches this fw
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
8 to 16 seconds yes I have counted .. Sad I know

Power off device hold down power and volume up wipe cache in recovery and reboot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jgruberman:
Okay then.... what happens after 5 minutes? Still sitting on it.

I was using 5.1 and rebooted to OUDHS recovery, wiped data/factory reset, then installed 7.2 and now stuck on Samsung Galaxy S4 screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Do above I edited my post
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jgruberman:
Okie dokie - just a moment!

Wiped cache partition and nothing.... still stuck at the boot screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Check the md5 of the Roms zip and make sure it matches .. You may have got a bad download
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ryderz17:
I meant the total storage changes, not the available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jgruberman:
Unfortunately, this isn't the only time this has happened... but I don't remember what I've done before either to fix it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Well first check the md5 .. Not sure also make sure you wipe then flash ROM and reboot don't flash ROM then addons
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
I believe I have seen this before and it's just "window-dressing" by the OS...not sure why the difference but what I've seen is this:

Case A)

Device shows 16GB of "Total Space" and shows all the space the OS is taking in the "Miscellaneous files" category. It ends up being around 6-7GB I believe.

Case B)

Device shows 9.70GB of "Total Space" and does not show all the space the OS is taking in any category. As a result you'll see "Miscellaneous files" is a MUCH smaller amount. On my device it shows this...and says 782 MB in misc.

In either case, nothing has changed. It's simply a matter of how the OS is accounting for the space it's taking...and I'm not sure why some ROMS/builds/versions have one or the other.

See attached pic for reference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
The total is what it is because the os is taking up the rest of the space so whatever is left from the is is what you have free

Now in the other hand if u had a i9505g the partiint size would be the same 16 but the os is much smaller you would have more free space
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] milicigoran:
Oh i already know. i love your rom. I was on it before I tried Alpha. Alpha get really good battery life but I do have a lot of lag on it so I'm coming back to your rom. Its great. Keep up the good work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
You have more total space than me no fair :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ryderz17:
Thats exactly what it is doing...shows 9.5gb total and 9.12 available. I just figured the roms would take up less therefore you get closer to the 16gb total.

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

Can we not achieve this on i337/i337m?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
The ROM is on a partition that was set by Samsung. There is no safe way to change the size of this partition. When you install a smaller ROM, you are freeing up space on this partition...but you cannot use it. As a result, you do not gain any usable space.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
No.. Sammy blocked reparation for end users ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
Same answer. The Google Edition is a much smaller ROM, but it was Samsung who designed the phone for it. As a result, they made the partition space smaller...so you get more free space.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ryderz17:
Just saw the above post...so doing it through odin , wont work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
Like I said, there is no safe way to do so. It's VERY dangerous and most likely will brick your device with no possible fix aside from maybe JTAG...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ryderz17:
Damn...wasted space lol

why would it brick it? If its unused would the system not ignore it since its not needed?

im sorta new to digging this far into it so that's why the million questions.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rfb813:
Lets get back to something good.

With one day on 7.2 here's my take:

1. In my opinion 7.2 runs smoother and faster than 7.1 and matches the best of previous Roms 5.1 and above.

2. Battery life appears to match the previous GE Roms. At 84 percent after 12 hours of use with 3 hours of screen time, 2 hours of Bluetooth connection to my car, 30 minutes of voice calls over Bluetooth and regular and 30 minutes of e-mail and other app useage.

3. Google Now working perfectly, Netflix working, HBO working, TV com working and MHL working.

4. GPS, Maps and Navigation working and both Browsers, Dolphin and Chrome working perfectly.

5. Email, stock and Enhanced Email working.

So far I am very happy with this Rom. I think we have a winner here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Nice job man!! Thanks I'll have something for ya soon ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] walletless:
does that work? i.e. you uninstall s-voice and samsung keyboard... and then double-tapping home key opens google voice search? If yes, that will be even better solution for me than home2shortcut I used before!

Would it still work if I removed s-voice but kept samsung keyboard? I like the top number panel on s-keyboard a lot...

Also.. how do you uninstall system apps? Using TiBu?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
No that would reassign double press.. I mean I just use long press on menu to use Google voice .. Google voice in my opinion is much better than svoice
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] spd_rcr:
Tempted to do a backup and dirty flash, but 7.1 seems to run almost flawlessly (couple random freeze-ups in settings today).

It sucks that Samsung is making it more difficult to build and load custom software on our hardware. Keep up the great work 'tho, Goldeneye is one of the few examples of a firmware that's not just customized, but notably better than the oem offering.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Thanks man very nice of you to say ! I would make a nandeoid backup and give it a try or wait till 7.3 comes out which will be in the next couple of days :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jgruberman:
*sigh* it works now.... thats what happened last time... it was a bad download... why me? :crying:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] oak:
Not picking on jgruberman, because he is surely not alone, but I am shocked how many people do not check MD5 before flashing custom roms. It only takes a second and it will verify that you are flashing what you think you are flashing. I work with servers, at times, and I would never install an OS without checking MD5. I won't flash a rom without md5 either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] caanda45:
Ditto....boggles my mind that we all do not do that, especially that it is provided here as compared to other roms that do not provide it....

I thought 7.2 was your last update before you feel better... Dude, please get some rest and feel better. The 7.x ROM is in very good shape and can wait few days. While I'd love to see frequent incremental updates, I hope you are not doing it at the expense of your health.

Thanks. Unfortunately recent versions of wanam xposed require permanent root which is not possible In my case since my exchange policies at work won't allow syncing emails on rooted phones. I wish wanam allowed a way to configure things and then unroot the phone :(

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
Yep +1

I'll repost my earlier explanation in case anyone missed it:

UPDATE: It's also simple to do the MD5 check on your device. There are many apps that can perform the check. One of the most popular, which I chose because it's the smallest/lightest/most straightforward is MD5 Hash:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.md5hash

Simply run it, choose your file, then paste in the MD5 hash and it will tell you if it's a match or not!

Guys what is proper procedure to update Goldeneye ROM, I mean I do see clean install only but how about everything, games, apps, data ? Can I use Titanium backup for this ? IS there a tutorial on proper updating for this rom ?

Thanks guys !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mannyboy23:
Clean install and my phone has rebooted 4 times today and a couple of those times I've had to remove the battery to get it to turn on...

Im on 7.2 only add-ons that I have is crossbreader, ge crt off, the accuweather one and one to make the speaker louder I've flashed them since I started using ge and this has never happened before..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
Did you check MD5? If so, try dirty flashing the ROM to remove your addons and then give it a day or two to see if the reboots continue. If you're good, install one addon at a time until you see which one causes the reboots. You seem to be the only one with that issue so far, so it's probably something specific to your setup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Agent:
Did you check the MD5 before installing? If so, have you reflashed the ROM?

Sounds good. I also backup /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file prior to factory reset and restore that file using any root explore (I prefer ES File Explorer). This file has all the wifi ssid that you had configured and has the passwords for them listed in pain text, so delete the backup file once you restore so it does not fall in wrong hands.

Just came back to GE 7.2

Really clean wipe used cm based recovery to even format everything and Odin back to stock then wipe then GE 7.2

Installed rom and let it settled then installed crappack.

For some reason I'm getting error synch with Samsung account. Any idea how to fix this?

Nothing is frozen or deleted or deactivated with greenify or TB (I know that from a while back it relies on stuff...) so everything is clean.

I removed rebooted and re added account. Cleared cache as well

Thanks a lot man nice job in the guide !!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
Yeah I definitely keep a copy of my /wifi folder on my SD card at all times. I also backup some important individual apps (Nova, Light Flow, Alarm Clock Plus, etc.) just in case.

I always read that Google auto backup will store your wifi stuff in the cloud but I have never once seen it RESTORE that data for me after a wipe...so I always end up doing it the manual way since TiBu is currently not working for restoring wifi backups.
