I did not use Titanium to backup and restore this data. I used the apps that I linked earlier, "SMS Backup & Restore" and "Call Logs Backup & Restore". There is an important difference.

Titanium backs up and restores the native databases as binary files. If the format of the database changed between ROM versions, then restoring those files could certainly cause problems.

The tools that I used

do not

backup/restore the native database. They export the data to XML during backup, and then import the data from XML during restore. The XML files are simple and version-independent. The only risk I can think of would be if the apps themselves do something wrong during the import process. I don't know what interface is used to do the import/export, so new Android versions could potentially break it, but SMS Backup & Restore was already updated to support Android 4.4, so it should be ok on 4.3 as well.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks

strange issue here.... Bluetooth to car audio is unresponsive is phone is sleep (screen off)... so to make calls i have to wake up the phone (Home button) then the bluetooth connects and the phone dials. This issue was also happening on 16.2 hence why I upgraded to 18.2.

I do have all services turned off (NFC, SBEAM, Hand Gestures, Smart Pause, etc)

After using "slimf4st ver3", the flashlight with volume up stopped working.

But after using "slimf4st ver4", the flashlight with volume up is now working again.

Running ROM 18.2 on AT&T S4.

:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Better to be using the latest slimf4st anyways .. On a side note I didn't have that issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] spocko:
Understood, but I didn't actually report any issues. :) So far so good for me. I just posted to share my experience and give you some (positive) feedback. You already have helped my by creating a great ROM. :good: Good luck with your move!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
thank u sir!!.. my only goal is to have u guys have as little issues as possible when installing this rom... i know its a pita to clean install .. and lose data .. but in the long run .. its better to have a device u can depend on!!.. im glad everything is good .. the most important thing to me is you guys have a stable working rom :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] spocko:
Maybe a fluke. Slimf4st v4 "advanced" only removes 3 additional files compared to v3, none of which seem related to the flashlight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
ya... odd... none of those files have to do with anything torch related

edit

on a side note.. i have an urge for pickles.. if the gf becomes prego .. i will be entering into therapy asap!

why does my urge for pickles mean the gf could be prego? well i heard this talk show last night that dudes can

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fraul:
Anybody having gps locking issues? Just for the last 2 days I've been on 18.2 and I noticed it (sometimes) takes an exceptional amount of time to lock. Any suggestions? It does lock it just usually takes like 3 minutes solid.

Thanks, I really love this rom, few to no bugs running smooth!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] phonex1:
Locking worked fine for me. Never took more than a fraction of a second.

Anyone know how i can fix my calls problem? Now i discovered my voice mail doesn't work also in addition to caller ID. Carrier confirmed it should work and i put my SIM in a dumbphone, nothing is wrong with SIM as it works again in that.

I have a feeling flashing the csc carrier zip in my case messed something up, but cannot get a handle on it. Been reading all day yesterday, no idea how to fix it still....

Upon installing Danvdh's GE 4.4 this morning and running the phone info app, the baseband is mk6, the bootloader is MG1. Canadian i337M btw. CSC is TLS (TELUS), which is what the phone actually belongs to, but CSC version is empty. Not sure what to make of this.

Another strange thing i notice is on windows, in my computer it shows i337m correctly when i have a touchwiz rom, but in device manage it shows i9505.

Never took a 4.3 OTA, the only 4.3 ROM i flashed is golden eye, which has knox removed, which means i never got knox right? But i cannot flash an older modem....only mk6.

Any help or pointer wold be greatly appreciated, thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
i just rolled out of bed... so .. think i read ur post right ... since ur on a i337m u need to update ur baseband to a 4.3 one!!.. this will fix any wackyness u may have
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sikalb:
YOU ARE THE MAN MANG!! thank you!

we can flash the addons with this yes??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] phonex1:
Hmmm...about phone shows my baseband at I337MVLUEMK6...strange.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
thank u kind sir!! .. yes u just cant flash a custom kernel .. let me know what u think :good:

hmm... did u restore anything to the calllog or sms ? also u might want to call ur carrier.. that voicemail thing seems odd
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] phonex1:
No i didn't restore call logs/sms. It does seem odd as something should help.

I have just decided to go to my carrier store and request a new SIM. While it worked ok in my back up dumbphone last night, it might be acting up. I will post update on this once i test the new SIM. Who knows it might actually be that...but really mind boggling.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:

very small OP maintenance 1-19-14

- changed rom gfx banner
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] buggerritt:
Weirdest thing happened yesterday. I finally updated from 18.1 to 18.2. I let all my apps install. Then, after rebooting, I noticed that 6 of them were missing. They were labyrinth pro, mp3 cutter, a- tilt labyrinth, pinball deluxe, meteor blitz, and Meijer. So, I installed them from play store manually. They wouldn't open. Then, after a reboot, they were missing. I did this like 3 times. I tried removing ad blocking. Then tried uninstalling knox. Nothing. Then, restored them with titanium. 3 of them stuck but the 2 labyrinth games disappeared. I did it again with TiB and then moved them to device storage and now everything is good. How word is that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
ya.. thats odd.. i would do this in the furture

1. wipe/factory reset

2. wipe cache

3. wipe dalvik

4. flash my rom

5 flash i337m fix <- only for i337m users

6. reboot

7. reboot back to recovery

8. flash csc fix <- i337m users

9. flash slimf4st <- if u dont like samsung crap

10. reboot

11. setup google acct

12. download tb

13. restore /data/apps and there data <- never restore /system/apps/ data!!

14. reboot

done!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MikeC4510:
Running perfectly fine here using the latest 3minit. Try full wiping and then flashing 3minit. If you use Xposed framework, then I strongly suggest installing Xposed after flashing 3minit framework.

Btw, domination works perfectly fine with this rom, but it doesn't work with 3min unfortunately. It gives me boot loops.

I was using the newest version in the I9505 download section 0.4.1 I believe. it will have ml6 in the file name to match the Rom. It currently is missing many features until he fully converts it all to 4.3. I did manage to run it with xposed as well but some module would fight 3minit. Just a heads up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Psych0t1c20:
Actually I got 0.4.1 to work. Someone posted to just restart the phone if you get systemui force closes. I did that and its all good now. I run it with Xposed and Wanam due to feature limits on all 3 and its going good.

did your phones baseband have amdl and build info say amdl? and did you wipe/reset b4 flashing? also u didnt flash a custom kernel after flashing the rom did ya? edit my host is doing maintenance check the MD5 and make sure zip wasnt corrupt!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JJ5150:
Is Swype included?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] parmar.saab:
No problem, upon doing some research it appears that reason behind it might be the missing servicemodeapp.apk. That's what enables short code commands.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
i9505 mf8 does not include swype

serviceModeApp_FB.apk

ServiceModeApp_RIL.apk

are both in the rom, menu is entered in a different way, problem is I don't remember how

so far reports are the rom is smoother
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] parmar.saab:
I got it. The short code is *#0011#. yhen you have to hit menu, go back, hit menu again, key input 1, and that should take you to the service mode. Now if I can get that white dialer, I'll be a happy camper lol.

Couple of questions before I got flash happy again.

1) I did a Ti backup of both apps and sys data. After I flash v3.0, can I restore everything in Ti or will the system data screw with everything?

2) Possible to extract the camera app as a flashable zip? I want to try the stock google one with photosphere but would like to return to stock if i didn't like it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:

I did a full clean install of 3.0 with new kernel fix for the Canadian s4, everything went great restored all my apps with titanium backup without data etc. I later decided to wipe my caches in recovery (latest twrp) and upon reboot my phone went into a constant reboot. I think it's a recovery issue not rom, not sure tho. But basically my phone was soft bricked all my nand backups would fail etc. Even with a Odin stock fw restore it would boot loop until I went into the factory recovery and did a factory wipe it was alive again phew!! Has anyone else faced this or might know what caused it? What recovery everyone recommend? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
very similar issue with twrp when you "format data" (the option that you have to confirm with typing "yes") it seems to break the encryption causing a bootloop, after restore from odin you have to enter stock recovery and wipe reset and wipe cache, otherwise another bootloop.

that will freak you out a bit first time around :p ...

"

safe way to wipe in twrp

"

hit wipe

swipe to factory reset

and if you want

advanced wipe

choose davlik,system,data,cache

then swipe

then flash rom

don't choose format data to the right of advanced wipe

Oh it freaked me out alright and it happen when I was hitting the sack last night :eek:

Confirming that both the ROM and SIM are fine. It was my carrier as I had talked to a rep on the night I installed this.

The culprit turned out to be a failed SD card. SO weird that I could read from it but not write to it or format anymore. It's worth buying SanDisk just for the fact that they have a lifetime warranty and no need for a receipt. I can live with a 32GB until the replacement comes. :)
