[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surya78599:
I have found a way to disable android update permanently without root.

First go to setting

Tap about option

Click on build number 7 times

(it will unlock your develepor mode)

Now go back to setting and there u will see a developer mode option, click on that

Now disable automatically updates from there

(all done) now the system will not automatically updated by wifi or anything else
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesomnambulist:
I am currently running 8.1.0 on the Essential PH-1. I am rooted with Magisk, but running the stock rom. I don't want to upgrade to 9.0.0 yet, so I have disabled automatic updates in the developer options... at least I thought I did. The toggle is clearly showing that automatic system updates should be off, but I keep getting the notification that 9.0.0 is available, and it wants me to download and install it. Any advice?

I installed cwm using recoverx n flashd a rom. Again i flashd stock rom using flashtool..rooted and installed cwm using recoverx. But i cant get into recovry mode. There is no led notification. While i ws installin cwm my done didn ask for super user permision instead gave a message shell granted permissions.

Can anyone help me???:confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hnk1:
Cons are simply that your warranty is void however you can still lock your bootloader.

Secondly you can not get updates from Sony. You will need to flash STOCK manually.

That's all the cons for you which are not that of a disadvantage!

Plus, I am on unlocked bootloader. All my apps and games are running smoothly. It depends on the ROM. if you are using a stable rom , you won't have a problem but if you are using a nightly build ROM (with bugs and in testing phase), you can come across such problems!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hnk1:
This is general forum and not for question and answers. However, I will reply

Which device are you using ?

Secondly, usually to go into recovery, restart your phone and when you see the SONY logo start pressing VOLUME DOWN KEY. Either the colour of your LED will change or you will get a vibration. This will take you into recovery.

Also note that if you are on LOCKED bootloader, there is different trick to install recovery and root and if you are on UNLOCKED bootloader, You can easily do both ROOT and RECOVERY by simply flashing a kernel or recovery/Root using cmd with fastboot!

Good luck!

Thanks for clarification!

Hi, thank you for your post, it still heps in 2015!

As far as I understand, I would rather compare ROM to PC firmware (mostly BIOS) and KERNEL to core services and drivers of Windows (or any other system like Linux which kernel is the base of Android system).

That's all, folks!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SplendidNishant:
hi bro, great guide for noobs like me :D i just have a question though... can we flash stock rom on custom kernel.... i'm using Experimental Kernal V12 with custom JB rom... i need to go back to Stock ICS... so can i just flash ICS or do i have to flash stock kernel too... i mean would'nt flashing stock kernel will remove precious CWM recovery...
[LG Revolution] christhorpeIM:
I recently installed a new head unit in my car, Kenwood DDX470, which I believe is compatible with the revolution. The phones bluetooth connects and allows the track controls to control music, both on spotify and all access. I switched from spotify to all access because there was a 4 steps process that had to be followed in order to successfully sync the bluetooth, and because I heard that spotify was not necessarily very compatible with android devices, and because I heard that all access might show the track information once linked up. I'm pretty sure the phone has the ability to transmit metadata, track info, because it does so no problem with music stored on the device, but unfortunately it does not do so when streaming through all access or spotify.

I saw that there is a link to install a 3rd party app for the samsung SG3 and tab but it didn't work for my phone. I've talked to all access support, lg support, best buy, and verizon, and there appears to be no solution. I know that transmitting metadata is possible while streaming, since my brother is able to transmit this information on his iphone for both music streaming subscriptions. I'm, assuming this has something to do with the blue tooth stack of the phone, but I really don't know. Any insight into this problem would be great. I travel a lot for work and am a bit of an audiophile and this is the last problem I am having getting the system linked up properly. Hopefully one of the genius' at xda will have a solution. Thanks!!
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
First off, the iphone is a whole other animal when it comes to car audio. You cannot compare what you do with an apple product in your car to any other device. Period. Now, second, I have never been able to get meta data to show through bt on the revo. I have had this phone for 2 christmas's and can't recall ever seeing meta data displayed.

Pandora and Spotify work absolutely flawless on my wifes jvc w/o metadata. You could try and search the playstore for a manufacturer app for the radio. I know pioneer, jvc, sony have them. See if that helps. But most likely, you will have to upgrade your phone to get that to work.

I've been a car audio installer for over 10 yrs and android is the blacksheep of the car audio world. Now, the pioneer app radio, through hdmi, works flawlessly with the revo. You can even get screen mirroring to out put the revo's display to your other monitors if you have them. :victory:

I would like to confirm that these nightly builds are very stable. There are a few minor bugs here and there that individual users have experienced.

Confirmed working:

WiFi

GPS

3G/4G/LTE

Camera

Auto screen brightness

Pretty much everything

Confirmed not working:

Nothing I can think of!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Inline:
Not saying that it isn't, but are you allowed to post a thread for someone else's rom? (I know you said your not the developer and your taking or credit or anything like that) I'm assuming they will make the thread themselves once they want to put it up on XDA.

Because I've seen this on goo as well and I have a link to their goo site in my Index thread, but they just started pumping out nightlies like six days ago so I assume they will make their own thread when they're ready.

But if it's chill, thanks for getting it out here for people to see cause I don't think many saw the thread in general!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] zgroten:
I believe it to be fine. It was discussed on the Google+ page, when/If it comes to the point that one of the developers would like to post their own thread here, I will delete this one.

It seems recently that CarbonROM has stopped posting on XDA and turned to Google+ for updates and discussion.

I don't see enough discussion for the Sprint GS4 on XDA, especially on such a popular device. Getting more ROMs on here is imperative to the activeness of this device.

Edit: We have the developer's consent.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sorryihaveaids:
When I hit read or reply in the notification pulldown it just clears the notification. Anyone experiencing this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] blacknet101:
A lot of things NOT WORKING! :(

I've tested this for a good while, for the past 2 nightlies

I have tested the one with the Halo feature but there are a lot of bugs

I don't get the notifications, only the LED flashes but nothing on the notification pull-down.

another one is, whenever I'm in an App [any app] when i press the home button, it does not take me home.

It doesn't respond to any of that.

I am not sure what GAPPS to flash because it doesn't come with anything on there except the stock apps.

I also didn't see the SuperUser.apk

no signal as well, only 1x, doesn't show 3G at all.

I love Carbon roms but unless my downloads have been corrupted or something, then it sucks because in a lot of ways this rom is useless. :(

I'm going to start from scratch with new downloads and see how it goes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] zgroten:
Do you mean read on your text messaging notification?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] zgroten:
ROM works 100% for me!

Make sure you do a full wipe before flashing for the first time.

You should flash the latest gapps found on goo.im.

Superuser is built into the system. You can find it in the settings menu, under superuser

Halo is still in ALPHA, there will be quirks. The developers are currently in the process of releasing the much quicker, more stable BETA version.

Your other problems are not listed bugs on these releases, and are most likely a result of a bad flash. Re-download the file and try again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sorryihaveaids:
Yes, read or reply do not work. I know it's early in development but I want to know if it was a bad flash or its a bug
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] zgroten:
I've tested out both read and reply from the notifications panel using the stock app.

It works 100% Tested it 10+ times.

Try clearing data / cache in app settings

If that doesn't work re-flash.

This is nice,Thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Deslo33:
ROM is working great! I had one random reboot while all my data was syncing from Google, but that's it. So far.

Halo feature is sweet. I'm rubbing it in the Faces of all my iPhone owning friends.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gershee:
I don't see our phone in the link for the halo version :confused:

what is halo BTW?

EDIT:

doh! found it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Deslo33:
Haha YouTube - Halo Paranoid Android. You're going to love it. Yeah, the link is jfltespr but all you can see is the tespr at the end.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Kangaji:
I am very confused.... I don't see the link. Like it's there but not for GS4 Sprint.... :( :confused:

Haha Here :)

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/irppiermo0rhqll/eZ6lukGPv2/CARBON-JB-EXP-HALO-20130605-1411-jfltespr.zip

The "espr" at the end of the link name is what you had to look for. Remember for next time. Make sure to wipe thoroughly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Kangaji:
Ah. I see. Sorry about that. Just moved over from the OG Epic and I guess I still need to learn the end link things. -_-

Thanks!

thanks i know what some of this mean i coming from the htc evo 4g and i have created a rom. i know AOSP mean Anroid Open Source Project. i was just wanting to know will it have them features. Thanks for the suggest though :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] zgroten:
Starting at 6/26 nightly, a lot of changes to the GS4 kernel / source are taking place. It's going to keep getting better!

Don't forget to check the changelog!

Some nightlies will require you to do something a bit extra (like disable an app) before you flash.

GS4 CarbonROM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] edlee:
just got the jfltespr, coming from e4gt.

Does anyone recommend running Carbon with its included kernel or KT kernel with Governer/scheduler: ktoonservativeq/row.

And will this work with 64GB exfat out of the box? with e4gt I had to use HMkX2 fuse-mountsd 1-click
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] !JORGE!:
everything is perfect on this rom the signal the battery everything but today im getting a lot of mobile network drops your downloading something and then the 4g or 3g icons goes out and you have to wait until it comebacks does someone have this issue also.?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
Yeah I did too! A lot of them
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] !JORGE!:
Oouuu men they will fix it.! because does drops are driving ne crazy.!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cris_epic:
Hey man I clean flashed 6/29 and I'm getting random reboots and phones laggy im on ondemand and noop, min 390 max 1800

What could be problem
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Deslo33:
Had the same issues at first. I did a bunch of reboots and power offs. Seemed to work itself out. Probably something to do with that new script for performance they added.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Vanakatherock:
I've been running the 6/29 nightly since 6/29 and have to say that I love it. It's smooth, have no issues outside of it not indicating signal in the status bar when on 4G. While I was sitting in a spot I know to have full signal on LTE I took the liberty to run a speed test and screenshot the result. You'll see it indicates 4G connectivity, but no signal, and the speedtest produced the speed that I'm used to seeing.

One other thing is, if you notice in the screenshot, it indicates use of a server in Wichita, KS when I'm located in Georgia. Not sure if this is an issue with the app or has something to do with the network? GPS worked fine and had location properly when using Foursquare.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] !JORGE!:
Youtube

Hey guys im using the stock youtube app from the playstore and when i see videos in fullscreen the video playback is in low quality even you check the little option of HK or Hd. im going to change the app to see the playback
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kevinsturf:
I have a problem....I just clean flashed this and now I've been setting up my phone. Now when I went to charge the thing, its not. I event tried a different charger and still nothing. Please help, thanks!

Sent from my Sprint Black Mist Galaxy S 4

EDIT

I did a battery pull and that seemed to have fixed whatever problem was causing that!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bender beerman:
Newest nightly is super smooth, even got my signal bars back :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Vanakatherock:
Do you have signal bars on LTE as well?

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

I have ran into another minor issue using this ROM. The headphone jack works perfectly for music, but using it for calls, I only have sound coming from the left side and not both sides. It's not a major problem for me as I only use wired headphones at work. I have bluetooth headphones at home and they work without issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bender beerman:
That was the only time my signal bars weren't showing, was when I was showing 4g connectivity, so yep :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jaaybs:
I've been using the 7/2 nightly and been getting the data usage issue again. Used nearly 2 gigs of data in one day - I believe this is a known bug from earlier nightlies but this being my biggest issue is a good thing.

Also its probably just me being an idiot, but I can't find the setting to turn on halo. I had done it before but now I have no idea, even after going through all the menu options.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dave12285:
Pull down the status bar. In the top there's an icon that looks like a messenger with a halo around part of it. Click that and you're rolling. This is assuming you've already enabled via system settings, carbon, halo, enable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:
today's nightly(July 5th) is working really well so far... really liking it have not encountered any issues yet
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] LIL_ROOKIE:
clean flashes 7/5 nightly everything is runnin fine ..but found a bug ....when you call someone and hang up ..than try callin right away after you hang up makes the phone hang up it self before it even starts ringing can you guys fix this ive always had this issue and never gets fixed

---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

can anyone else confirm the bug or issue im experiencing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:
I can confirm that if you call hang up and then call right away again it does end itself, just wait like 20-40 seconds and you can call again just fine. This is on the 7/5 nightly as I posted about a little while ago. Still think this build is working amazing, for me this issue isn't to big a deal at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] .PHil:
is anyone else missing the calendar widget?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jaaybs:
Actually its the whole google calendar. Gotta download the app from the playstore. It comes with a widget
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] zgroten:
Is anyone having trouble booting 7/9?

GS4 CarbonROM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fadentales:
Booted it however it took a while about 9 minutes from reset after flash to setup screen try doing a full wipe and clean install then wait about 10 minutes see how it works

-Edit-Didn't realize you were OP haha, yea man it works fine on my phone.

Question for everyone though how is your battery life? went from 100% to 44% in 4 hours and then 44% to 22 in 2 hours..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bender beerman:
I've had some minor trouble booting most of the nightlies, only a few have booted straight after the flash for me... It usually hangs at the carbon splash for upwards of ten to fifteen minutes if I let it. I usually just have to reboot a couple times to get it running, but sometimes I have to rewipe caches and fix permissions. Once it boots, it's usually good until the next nightly, tho.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Psychotic-Cerebellum:
Has always been the deal killer for me with carbon. From my sprint note 2 to this phone now carbon has always given me about half to 3x less battery than any other rom, to or aosp. On my t-mobile s3 it wasn't as bad, although still was very questionable. Never was able to get any troubleshooting to make any significant difference. Just my experience though. Popular enough to be that it just may be bad luck on my part or maybe the cool features are worth it for a quick drain
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shizkoff777:
With the right set up ive gotten 12 hrs per charge on medium use so maybe check in on flashing a different kernel and switching it up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bender beerman:
That's a bummer, I frequently get close to 16 hours moderate usage on this rom, but still under 4 hours screen on time. I'm using ktoonsez kernel with his custom tweaks, and have been using it on this rom since it was released for aosp on the s4 (thanks KT!), and was running tw/w ktoonsez before, and carbon runs as good as tw ever did for me, minus the nightly glitches ;). I guess I haven't tried the new update yet (md9 or whatever), but still doubt that I'll ever see more than 4 hours screen on time with this stock battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Psychotic-Cerebellum:
Which nightly are you running right now? Was going through the thread to try again and see if I had better luck and seemed like the 7/5 nightly seemed like a good one to try on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bender beerman:
7/7: there hasn't been anything too horribly impressive in the latest change logs to make me wanna jump yet... Plus, I like to let my kernel run for a few days before I make judgements on the overall usage. Also, I'm using ktoonsez's 7/7 kernel.

Also, once there's a new kernel and nightly, I'm definitely updating... I'm just holding out for new options (ie ir blaster)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cris_epic:
Hey what gov/sched you think works best with ktoonsez kernel? I'm on his 7/11 kernal now, peg/sio
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bender beerman:
Not sure about the best for everything, but I run ktoonsez's custom settings on ktoonservative/row, undervolted -50, etc... I think there are combinations that will provide better performance, but this one is stable and smooth, with lots of battery left at the end of the day. I just wouldn't benchmark with it...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 16cocopuffs:
Is anyone having a low mic recording issue? It's not the camera because I tried recording audio with the camcorder and the voice recorder. Playback on both was extremely low, close to nonexistent. I don't know if this is an issue with this rom or a hardware issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dave12285:
I seem to be having trouble with the camera on the latest nightly. When I take a photo it doesn't save then the gallery force closes. No 3rd party apps work in replacement. Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cjwaggsrx8:
There we go
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cjwaggsrx8:
Only 2 hrs screen time but I got 35% left
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bender beerman:
I only got 1:45 screen on time tho.

Edit: got 40 hours on this charge with 3 hours screen on!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] zplunk:
This ROM is gorgeous!

Anyone have an issue with contracts crashing when you try to open an individual contact? Running latest stable build.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cjwaggsrx8:
Are you using an inverted gapps pack? If so that's a known issue. Just extract the one from the ROM and push to system/ apps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] zplunk:
Yes I am. I'll try that out tonight. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] garcia_jx:
Is anyone else having google voice search problems? Mine will not open.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
I'm not currently on this but I'd try wiping data on app, fix permissions, then reboot and see if it works then..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mjs2011:
All I had to do was update the app and that fixed it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mjs2011:
Trying the Halo alpha so far. The only issue is that I'm getting a lot of system ui force closes but I'm guessing that will be fixed when the halo beta gets released.
