[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] earhog:
The first time I flashed I used no add-ons or kernals and I would get random bootloops on first boots. Didnt even have a chance to get to install an app. I would have to restart a couple times before it would finally kick the loop.

I've also noticed I can't get into recovery on my first try, it reboots and I get in on the 2nd try every time. Is that normal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] latinohot:
cwm or twrp?

my flash sequence differs from OP, but it gets the job done all the time

put rom on sd card

put all add-ons

boot recovery

wipe data x3

wipe cache x3

format system x3

format data x3

format cache x3

flash rom

let it boot and settle

boot to recovery

flash add-ons

wipe dalvik cache

and enjoy a fresh new rom, and customize.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] earhog:
I am using TWRP.. ok Ill try that out and see how it works
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoonDogg98:
TWRP... yeah mine does that too.. but I think its TWRP not the ROM.. But maybe someone here might have a fix/reason for this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] earhog:
Ok, I tried that install method, first boot was fine.. I waited a bit, restarted, bootloop.. I've checked the md5 of the file on both my computer and phone and they match.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] latinohot:
then I believe you need to odin back to stock and flash again, sorry
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Ya if your going to use twrp I would go with 2.5.0.2 I use philz cwm recovery never have an issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Planktron:
+1 great recovery with full wipe for rom install option :thumbup: if you're on att or Verizon just make sure you get the Loki'd version ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
yup.. not only that but im able to mount via recovery that in itself is golden!!! :good:

no disrespect to the twrp team i used twrp on all my htc devices!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Planktron:
Yup twrp really pushed the envelope on recoveries and they're incredible devs, but I've been a cwm guy since day one so it's preference for me. It just feels natural :p

Does anyone use 3mint settings or nottach xposed? I tried using 3 minit and experienced phone over heating and SD card issues. Is this happening to anyone else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
man, remember amon ra... ahh the good old days :cowboy:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CallMeAria:
I'm using 3minit 2.6 mf8_mg3 and its working perfectly as far as I can tell (I don't use the sview settings). Definitely no over-heating or sdcard issues.

EDIT: I updated to 3.1 mga still not having any issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Planktron:
Gharrington updated the framework for mga yesterday. I just started running it about an hour ago but everything is flawless :fingerscrossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] flight-medic:
I know I'm probably doing something wrong but when I go to ROM Manager it doesn't see the ROM. It's in the root of the SD card.

Any help would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
Nothing against Philz recovery bit not to have the issue reported above do not format system (where you have to type yes) in TWR and it'll be fine. Just do factory reset and cache and dalvik wipe.

To fix the issue reported Odin back to mdL re root and start over but don't use the yes option
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] obriane217:
Totally agree on this. I've used twrp 2.5.0.5 now for a while on this device. Never had an issue with twrp yet. You can factory reset, wipe dalvik-cashe-data-system all with no problems at all. As long as you don't format system (by typing yes) you will be good with no issues.

So ithat sounds like you did format system so you will have problems after that. Like other user said only way to fix that is to Odin back to stock reroot & start fresh.

anyone having google services eat your battery? never happened to me on other versions of the rom except the latest.

only add-ons are battery mod 2, no camera sounds and default att network icons
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
not on this rom now... on mdob and i noticed google services a bit .. we maybe seeing a google update just a hunch
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mpegripper:
thanks, i'll try and go back to 3.0 just to see...no changes between 3.0 and 4.0 though so i doubt it'll help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
thanks , let me know :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
You know, google services is all encompassing service and really crappy way google implemented it...

long story short, i noticed that it mainly spikes up because of location services turned on.

I also noticed that if you turn off 'report from this device' in maps in location services that quiets down google services crap by A LOT, and does not affect your GPS or maps either.

just a suggestion to try
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mpegripper:
just turned that off, thanks...i do remember turning this off in the past so that might be it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
i shut all gps stuff off, unless i need it .. same thing with sync.. i sync all my crap once, then shut it off only thing i leave on is gmail
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
hah i wish i can do that! at least for my work exchange heheheheheh but you can also adjust synch intervals as well per app like exchange and google and all that, so at least it does not poll as much.

Of course in my case i have to have exchange on and with 'push' god forbid if i don't respond in 4.5seconds all hell breaks loose hehehe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
lol, well ur situation is on a whole different level my friend .. :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Alakhai:
Wonder would it be possible to mod in the ability to put a widget (camera for example) on the lock screen if your using a pattern or pin number?

Keep hoping with each new version from Samsung they will enable that but as soon as pattern/pin is set it disables it.

Where is this setting? I am running 3minit for s4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bookmonke:
It is under color and images and then under select battery image.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ohraii:
3Minit Settings > under "Others" go to Colors and Images > then go to Select battery type. It's the bottom one in the attached image. Gives you a nice selection of battery types. :good:

Hi, I am running this with I337M device (with the Canadian kernel fix). If I want to use the triangle away [it needs the device to be running on Samsung stock kernel] app can I flash the stock kernel as it says AT&T only. Will it soft brick the phone? Does the stock kernel work boot with the canadian version? If the LTE doesn't work I don't really mind as I just need to reset to send it to servicing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
the Canadian kernel fix is the stock kernel!! never flash the att versions!!! :good:

Would Google wallet work with GoldenEye ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Planktron:
You know what would be awesome? Getting rid of that ridiculous default app nag when you select "always". It bugs me almost as much as the volume nag.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
How exactly will the OS know what your default choice is if you don't pick one? Pick one, press "always", and it doesn't come back unless you reset your default.

If you pick "just once", then yes, it comes back as per your selection.

PRO TIP: If you intend to pick "just once", you don't have to press the icon then press "just once", you can just double tap the icon. This should certainly be mentioned in a small tooltip at the bottom of the selection box IMO.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Planktron:
Thanks for the tip, did not know that, but I'm referring to what's in the screenie below.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
Ahh my mistake - I forgot about that nag. Yeah that one is annoying and definitely needs to "do not show this again" checkbox!!

I hope my tip at least helps others since I was totally clueless about it when I first read it somewhere...lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
Yes, it's been discussed in the thread a number of times.

You will have to use this mod as an example but there are a number of similar mods out there.

just flashed this rom, done everything step by step as it says at first page

wifi doesn't work

tried to apply fix for canadians couple time, still the same, had stock rom before
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
This has been discussed a number of times. OP stated that if canadian fix does not resolve your issue, move on to a custom Kernel.

Have a look through the thread for suggested alternatives.

:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Werewolf88:
I tried) even used search) it's hard to find

may be ktoonez kernel? or maybe there is something better now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Frederick_1:
Emoji anyone?

This ROM is perfect. Thanks for all of your efforts. My ONLY request would be the AOSP modded pop up messaging and emoji button. If anyone could get this working I just may be licked in this rom until Christmas
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
I'm not a canadian user, i'm on ATT, but a quick search brings up feedback from other CAN users: http://xdaforums.com/search.php?searchid=206406128

Look at KT or Adam kernel. I'd try one and then the other to see which fits you better and works best with your device.

Make a backup and go for it.

i noticed i cant use aptoide anymore, when the app downloads in the browser it ussually starts up atpoide and downloads it there

any ideas? is it the adblock, or some samsung service
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] songsongsong:
quick thing I noticed...

When in the messaging app, if you create a blank text message then click on the Contacts button in the top right corner, the app freezes and crashes.

Anyone else noticing this? Sorry if this was addressed before.. I admittedly did not read everything but did perform a search!

thanks!!

edit: I do have the white inverted dialer installed...could it be an issue with that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jake_MS3:
You're not alone. Happens to me every time. And I'm on the white dialer, etc without call recording.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
Opened stock messaging, clicked on new blank message, clicked contacts icon in top right...my contacts loaded up fine.

Black dialer with call recording.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] songsongsong:
thanks guys! must be something with the white dialer ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
Weird I'm on white dialer with call recording and just tried to pull up a contact from stock messaging and it came up nice and dandy for me. Try clearing app cache for contacts and messaging app. Let Google re sync you're contacts back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] songsongsong:
tried that to no success thanks tho! could it be fixed in the call recording version? maybe I'll flash that and try
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rfb813:
Finally back home with a fast internet and had a opportunity to download and install your MGA and 4.3GE roms. Both working great but Goldeneye is still my favorite.

Thanks for all your work and have a drink on me: 7EE619586K589282Y.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] obriane217:
I'm on white inverted apk's also with call record and I did the steps you stated and double checked, no freeze here all is good. Most be something on your end
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CallMeAria:
Here's the Google Edition texting app. It has the popup notifications and emoji support (both need to be enabled in the settings). This zip backs up all the files it changes (except databases) so going back to stock is easy enough. And yes, Mms works. There is a dark theme you can also enable via settings.

FLASHING THIS WILL DELETE ALL YOUR SMS/MMS SO BACKUP ANY TEXTS AND SAVE ANY PICTURE MESSAGES YOU DONT WANT TO LOSE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

http://db.tt/oiaSiYuS

IMO it's far superior to the TW texting app.

EDIT: This will also overwrite the Disable Scrolling Cache mod in the OP. I or iB4stid can modify it to incorporate that mod if need be. Both are simple framework changes.

EDIT2: This mod is based off loserskaters work on the s3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
Is there xda threaded or this app? Credit goes to who?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CallMeAria:
Not as far as I know. Though I do suppose that a lot of credit should go to loserskater (I'll turn that into a link when I get to a computer) for the inspiration with his S3 mod! The first thing I did with my S4 was set to work on porting the GE Mms.apk. I have to have those popups! ;)

EDIT: modded other post to include his credit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] WizeGuyDezignz:
I know it's just your opinion, but mine is that I prefer the TW messaging app. But it's a personal preference reason for me because I text a group of people weekly.

If you create a group of contacts in Google and try to text that entire group with the aosp messaging app, you can't do it. You have to add each person manually.

It might sound like a small issue, but it has always bugged the heck out of me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
Nah cool man! I didn't know you moded it. I figured there was a thread already similar to [MENTION=4913579]CPA Poke[/MENTION] one. I think he has somewhat of the same mod

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CallMeAria:
Mms wont work for sure. I believe SMS should still work though. If it gives you problems you can just reflash the mod. When I'm home tonight I'll go ahead and make a version with disabled scroll cache.

If I remember correctly you either need to choose the white dialer or...if you want the black dialer, you cannot have the AT&T network icons.

EDIT: See post 2714 for add-on to flash back to default network icons (if you want to keep the black dialer and get "all calls" default).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dstevens:
First off, thanks for such a great ROM and your time and effort!!

I'm having one issue and I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing it, when I'm in the camera and I push on the video button to record a video, nothing happens. I have to back out of the camera app and relaunch to make it work. It happens often.

Damn it, I lost the att icons with that mod suggested on post 2714, good thing for backups.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rfb813:
The Vacation was great. My phone with Goldeneye was working overtime on the trip not with phone calls but with checking where we were with GPS, checking emails and the weather and photographs (I took 850) and videos. Also used the HDMI out to show previous videos to friends and family. Averaged 15 hours of use per day with 7-8 hours of screen time and was still at 35%. The battery life was super. I hope MGA will also be as good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoonDogg98:
Check out Dean1650 Mod's He makes some mods including center clock mod's that are specifically for this ROM. They work great. I am using the white center clock mod. This is also noted in the OP at the bottom of the post.

I get around 15 hours, with 3-4 screen time in a full charge. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rfb813:
I have no particular settings, just the basic Rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] a40dayflud818:
Been doing tons of reading and researching and Kernels are the the one thing that baffle me, ergo, I tend to not flash them until I do. But with this ROM, (LOVE Goldeneye), what are the pros/cons to flashing the KT kernel? The phone operates beautifully with Goldeneye on what I guess am using the stock kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
Custom kernels give you more control over proc settings and extra stuff to play around with.

Every device is different and may behave awesome with stock and worse with custom kernel. there is no way to tell you pro's and con's, only you'll be able to see them when you try flashing.

Changing kernel is like changing underwear. Flash one, try it out, don't like it, flash back to stock. [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION] makes it easy by providing stock kernel in his OP
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] a40dayflud818:
Fair enough. That's the one thing I understand about Kernels in that, like ROMS, its different strokes for different folks. I guess what I was asking about the KT kernel is what about it do you enjoy so much? Would you recommend it to people flashing Goldeneye?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
Again its a matter of personal preference but personally I use KT kernel exclusively. I like the control (yes I'm a control freak) in have over procs and other stuff. I have never tried to run GoldenEye with stock kernel so I don't know the difference. Again it may be even better than KT but it's just my preference. You'll need to decide yourself I guess which one you like better
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] walletless:
I am torn between this ROM and MDOB - both excellent ROMs are from the same developer.

Can someone help me out with the differences between the two ROMs? I see that GoldenEye is based off stock samsung, while MDOB is based of stock AT&T firmware. However, both strip out most of the Samsung and AT&T bloat and adds some cool features via add-ons like in-call recording. Both are de-odexed and zipaligned too.

What are the reasons one would chose GoldenEye over MDOB or viceversa?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] beast3300:
Obviously GoldenEye is newer but other than that I like the ability to change from LTE to either HSPA+ and/or EDGE without a keypad code.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KMan94:
I've seen google services be the number one battery eater on on my still stock but rooted S4. I've traced it to applications reporting my location and activities supporting google now and such. I turn that off and screen display pops back to number one like it should be on my phone.

(still trying to decide whether to take the plunge to goldeneye!)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] a40dayflud818:
I have used both. MDOB was great, but I love Goldeneye. Just try it. If you don't like it, just switch back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CallMeAria:
Here's the Google Edition Mms w/Scrolling Cache Disabled Mod

Here's the normal Google Edition Mms

And finally, to revert back to stock Touch Wiz Mms Fair Warning, I havent tested this revert to stock zip. But I dont see any reason it shouldnt work. And even if it doesnt, everything that you need to revert to stock was backed up to your phone for a manual restore when you flashed one of the other zips so no worries!

iB4STID, if you want to test these for yourself and include them as mods feel free to do so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] theraker007:
I usually don't see much difference as I jump from rom to rom but I had to give a shoutout to this rom as being head and shoulders above the rest. for whatever reason, on my phone, it runs the smoothest and gives me the best battery life. I don't even wanna reinstall a custom kernel on this because its running so well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Catchpen:
If you use Nova Launcher here's a way for a shortcut to network settings:

-Long press on home screen.

-Choose 'shortcuts' on Nova's pop up menu

-tap 'Activities'

-scroll down to 'phone' and expand the options

under phone

-scroll down to the n's and choose 'Network

settings' it has a gear icon. There's 2 of them but they both work.

The one that says 'MobileNetworkSettings' with

out the word tab looks like the default one.

- it should place the shortcut on your home

screen!
