I'm a little confused by this and the "flashing old binaries" comments. Does twrp provide the capability to flash old binaries like philz does? I like the UI of twrp but went to philz based on recommendations here. Maybe just a little dense this morning...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Martinjv71:
No its not mine works fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Tylorw1:
Yes the older 2.5.0.2 uses the older binary file. Its only new versions on Philz and CWM that have this error. Philz is the only new CWM based recovery that has an option to flash using older binary files.

So yes, TWRP 2.5.0.2 works fine. The issue occurs on newer recoveries.

TWRP 2.6.3.1 should be ok too. I have used it with GE versions 18-21. This version doesn't give the bogus prompts to fix permissions like 2.5.0.2 does.

Edit:

A flashable zip of TWRP 2.6.3.1 for the AT&T Galaxy S4 can be found here:

Trust me this rom is the closest to being "complete and without issue" for this phone. And part of that is because the dev is on top of it and updates when it is needed. Besides, when can you really say a rom is completely without issue?

So basically, if you hate updating, maybe wait it out and monitor the forum until it seems stable enough before you flash.

As for my flash happy, latest-release-needing, high-stability-requiring, GE addicted a$$, im on each and every update like white on rice. Bring on the next one! :D

Thanks.. I *think* this might be happening because of a tasker profile I have to turn off Bluetooth when WiFi is connected.. I added xfinitywifi access point (free access points provided by Comcast through several cities) yesterday.. may be I connect to xfinitywifi while driving and that turns off bluetooth. I have disabled the profile for now to check if that was really the culprit.. if not, I will try out jeboo as you suggested :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] BigE:
I know it is kind of off-topic, but I think IB4 will forgive me..

Ahhh, the pain 'tasker' and 'Automate-it' might introduces to users.. Had that too. I highly recommend , in order to be fair to devs, especially to IB4 , run the ROM as close as possible to the released, no Xposed mods either, before complaining or reporting a bug.. (note to self as well)..

On a more 'educational' note regarding 'free' WiFi AP.. The most common way phones get hacked is by introducing a free hotspot to connect to. People choosing to connect to open access points are exposing themselves dearly to hacking, not to mention it may interrupt data connections (just because one connects to an AP does not mean the bandwidth is available). I highly recommend not to allow any script/mod allowing automatic free WiFi connection. So many fake ATTWifi , TWCWIFI APs etc..

The GUI you refer to is Samsungs TW, not part of KK 4.4.2.

That's why. There are some apk's you can push to replace , at your own risk, to get it look as the S5 GUI if you wish..

Anyone tried jeboo yet? Wondering which one has worked better for u.. talexop or jeboo?

I'm on GE23r1 stock (talexop) and is really stable so far! The battery life has been excellent (24+ hrs) but it's too early to make the call until I use it for few more days.

I made a desktop version of the advanced SLiM-F4ST addon. I like to store smaller files, and it also helps dualbooting if you cant flash the whole ROM and then flash the addon. What this does is modifies the ROM zip file on your desktop to delete the bloatware from the zip file.

Requirements: Windows PC

Steps:

1 Extract the contents of the attached zip anywhere on your desktop

2 You will see a folder named "SLiM-F4ST". Copy the downloaded ROM ("GE-i337-XXUFNB9-23R1.zip") to the "SLiM-F4ST" folder.

3 Open the "SLiM-F4ST" folder and run (double click) "slim.bat"

Once done, you will see a new zip file named "SLIMGE-i337-XXUFNB9-23R1.zip" inside the "SLiM-F4ST" folder. This is the new and slim goldeneye ROM ready to be flashed!!

I tried that. I went as far as removing and adding the account. I also tried clearing the messaging app and contacts. The only way I could get contact information back into messaging was to reflash the ROM. I am thinking it maybe a weird permission issue. But that is my next area of study that I have not got into to much yet.

Thanks!

I am not sure I understand the difference... just trying to clarify:

Gps On task turns on GPS in high accuracy mode?

Gps Off task keeps GPS in Power Saving mode

Correct?

That would be pretty helpful for a lot of folks who rely on location-based alerts from Google Now (including me :))

with GPS on when u open maps it will set GPS on high accuracy mode and when u close it, the gps off auto change it back to Low Battery, i only have maps on there, b/c thats all i use, u can always go into tasker and add ur own apps to to the profile and change to HA mode when u open

i edited it b/c it would just completely shut the gps off which i did not like for Google Launcher, so i just changed it to HA mode

Open Xposed Installer, go to "Downloads", search for "Disable Google Network Location Consent", install the module. Then go to xposed installer -> modules, and enable the module you just installed. Reboot the phone, and the nag will go away.
