I haven't flashed any kernels or changed cpu settings. Do you have any recommendations?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LuigiBull23:
Die hard KT747 fan. Hope it resolves those lags.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Adrozz07:
Having set nav bar to tablet ui, entering settings menu causes a FC of settings itself. The "hide extras" didn't seem to function while in tablet mode either. Also, it requires a reboot to affect any change to nav bar type. Not sure if that last one was intended or not. Otherwise, running solid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] emplox:
Well...that certainly did the trick. There is not a single bit of lag now. Ty sir.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dquillen312:
I just flashed this rom and it's wicked amazing! Absolutely love it so far and it was immediately noticeable that it was faster than any TW based roms that I've tried so far. The only thing I'll truly miss is the TW camera.

One question though, does visual voicemail work for this rom? I placed the .apk into the system\app folder and rebooted, but still no go. Also tried wiping cache and fixing permissions to see if that helped but it didn't, Apologies if that's been answered somewhere else in the thread. I did a search but only got two results that weren't really relevant
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NotoriousNeo:
So does anyone else's video camera look all wide and weird?

Edit: I guess it happens half the time. I did find out if you put it in panorama mode and then go back to the video camera it fixes itself. Is this a known thing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] samstheman42:
Link? Or for the chronic kernel that was mentioned?

At the risk of sounding like an a$$hole, this was found after a search for "KT747" on the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 page. First link.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] samstheman42:
I downloaded the KT747 kernel off of the thread post for V4.2 AOSP roms (Linux 3.4) and got a failed installation. This threw me into the black screen boot loop. Do I need to use the Linux 3.0 one instead?

Edit: Just now realized that the link I was provided earlier was for a Samsung GS3 development page, so that now makes sense as to why I'm stuck restoring my phone now :-/

Tried doing a search for the KT747 kernel but didn't see anything in the GS4 forums, is the kernel cross compatible between both phones?!

2nd Edit: A little better searching yielded this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2294083

That's where you'll want to go to try out the KT747 kernel on your GS4

My apologies. I should have sent you the link myself in my original post. There are various KT747 threads and users may indeed wind up using the incorrect thread for their respective model.

No worries, only thing wasted today was a little time, and it wasn't all that bad (I DO have the day off after all, lol)

Getting some serious freezing/lag issues while streaming Bluetooth audio (Google Play) to the car while also using Navigation. I've had to reboot it twice today. Slows down to a crawl. Anyone else have this issue?

Flash a kennel and the lag will b gone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blue26:
That was my mistake, I was sure I pasted a link to the S4 kernel. Sorry about that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thanassi44:
I've never actually flashed a kernel and I've always been standoffish about it. I don't know enough about kernels to mess around. What are the advantages and disadvantages of changing the stock kernel?

Is it independent of the ROM, or does it get baked in with a zip file like Gapps? If I recent to a nandroid backup of say, my stock touch wiz with basic root, does the new flashed kernel carry over or is it included with nandroids?

Is there a kernels-101 resource I can read? :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LuigiBull23:
Disregard
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] samstheman42:
Flashing a kernel is not much different from flashing a ROM or gapps, they usually (always?) come in the form of a zip file.

Think of it this way: the kernel is the piece of software that tells the operating system how to run. It's a lot like the brain in your body. Your mind, capable of reason, thought, memory, and recall is a lot like the ROM on your phone or the operating system on your computer. The kernel handles the stuff underneath that, like keeping your heart beating, your lungs breathing, and regulating the temperature of your body.

The advantages can vary substantially, ranging from things like better battery life to higher levels of performance. Different kernels will have different pros and cons, so do your research on them before you flash one. Kernels will also have functions that allows you to control the cpu, memory utilization, etc.

Does that make sense?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Adrozz07:
I had a similar slowdown issue. I stream music a lot. Nothing I did could fix the lag. Flashed different kernel, dirty flashed rom back for kernel restore, etc. Had to flash off the rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NotoriousNeo:
Yeah, Bluetooth is unstable for audio streaming, mostly if you're streaming to a car. However, streaming to my Big Jambox is solid. Don't have any issues their, so I'm wondering if it's only certain Bluetooth profiles.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] techahead:
rom looks good will test it on my lg optimus and share the feedback.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thanassi44:
The funny thing is, Bluetooth alone works fine, navigation alone also works fine, but it seems like together, they just make the phone freeze.

---------- Post added at 08:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------

Yea I get it. Thanks for the kernels for dummies talk. perhaps I'll experiment in the future. But based on someone else's recent reply to my bluetooth/nav problem, it doesn't seem like a kernel will help. We'll see
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n0m0n:
OK this is the first attempt to flash my Verizon S4.

I have rooted it and have TWRP recovery installed.

I made a backup when in TWRP and downloaded to my iMAC Liquid-JB-v2.8-OFFICIAL-jfltevzw.zip which I am going to move over onto my SDCard.

Is there a specific folder or location on the card the file needs to be in?

I have been looking for the correct size the file should be because I have been experiencing failed downloads due to issues with my ISP.

Is the file that size is 133.1m is this correct?

Do I flash the gapp's right away or do I need to boot up and then reenter the recovery to install it?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
No location is specifically required ... I usually put it in a download folder so its easy find. And yes you need to flash gapps right after ROM.

edit: Should be 126.94mb
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n0m0n:
133.1m size looks right?

It seems smaller then most.

Also I did not notice if this ROM will improve my battery life which is a main issue I have with my S4.

THANKS
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
Hmm...that's strange . Your getting 133mb? ....Its small because its AOSP based and gapps aren't included. And battery life is good for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n0m0n:
THANK YOU

So if anything its larger then it should be

That is the complete opposite from what my concern was, I have to assume maybe its because I downloaded it to my iMAC, verse PC?

I purposely used Opera to download because Safari sometimes unzips zip files.

Hmmm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
Np...You can always check the MD5 to be on the safe side.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n0m0n:
Im still looking for that I haven't found it as of yet.

I am wondering if it has to do with I'm using a MAC?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
Well, you could always transfer it to your phone and download "ES file explorer" from the market free and check the MD5 with that. Just long press on the zip until its checked, then hit "more" and go to property's and calculate MD5 .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n0m0n:
OK I decided to download a new download directly to my device, but will download ES File Explorer.

As I prepare to flash this rom I froze most of the bloatware via Titanium Pro would it be wise for me to unfreeze everything before I flash?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
If your flashing liquids new build it won't matter. I always wipe a few times via (factory data reset ) just to make sure the recovery wipes everything clean.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
Not sure why this ROM isn't more popular, it's my favorite by far! <3 stock Android plus the goodies they've tossed in here to customize. Can't wait for the next release.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LuigiBull23:
It is very popular. What the heck are you talking about lol. Liquidsmooth is one of the most discussed AOSP ROMS across the board. It's been around long enough and definitely earned it's name! There is no ROM out there smoother than this!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
Oops. Sorry, i was going by the thread view counts! I am new to android rooting, the last time i rooted was back on my Eris (RIP) and then i was on an iPhone for 2ish years.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] samstheman42:
I think I already know what your answer is gonna be, but between iPhone and Android, which do you think is better?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 2JZ GZE:
OK I had an issue with Bluetooth streaming, but after a reboot it worked fine. Let's see how long this lasts.

Also I'm having issues with Korean keyboards. Won't let me tour anything in Korean. Anyone else with this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tluley51:
I have been running 2.8 since it came out and now I am getting terrible battery drain all of a sudden. I have changed nothing, it just randomly is doing it. Also, I know it is a known bug with all AOSP roms, but the delay in locking the phone is quite annoying...I think I am switching back to a customizable TW rom for the stability.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
I honestly like both. I like the simplicity of the iPhone as well as some of their stock apps (music and podcasts) and I LOVED the ring/vibrate switch on the side as well as the dedicated volume buttons.

I can say good and bad things about both.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hpower1:
maybe a silly question, but why is this rom in the android development forum, not the original development section?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thafngame24:
I too seem to be having crazy battery drain with 2.8 and this is after a complete crash wipe and install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n0m0n:
Does this custom rom offer the multi window that comes with the S4, or is it gone?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LuigiBull23:
TW feature. This is AOSP so no.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n0m0n:
meaning yes or no?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LuigiBull23:
Guess you missed the "no" at the end there? lol

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n0m0n:

No battery drain here. I'd go back and clean flash if you dirty flashed before.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kgeier82:
Any word on when avrcp 1.3 could be coming?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 2JZ GZE:
So anytime I have any Bluetooth streaming music connection drops, I would reboot the phone and reconnect. It would be fine after that. I hope this issue gets solved soon.

I also hope that the rom will soon support Korean fonts!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pchpoochie:
Good day folks does know of or have a zip of the roboto front that will work on this ROM

Another bug is with the camera. If you choose HDR photos , then after you take the shot , the camera freezes and stops working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thanassi44:

I found a workaround to the random slowdowns. Toggling the Governor from Interactive to Performance for a couple minutes seems to fix it. in the Performance settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
Well, I just wanted to come back and comment on my time with this rom (again).

I've been on it since it's most recent release and have jumped on a couple of others in between, but come back very quickly.

The latest I tried was the newest tw entry that combines some aosp elements and blackened google apps.

I was psyched for it because my only negative of Liquid is that I miss the tw camera.

After trying this other rom twice over the weekend, I quickly came back to Liquid.

Liquid does everything this other rom does (except camera) and does it a little snappier.

Let me be clear, this other rom is very good as are most of the tw roms I've tried. I just am having a slightly better experience with Liquid.

I should state that I'm using the chronic kernel with great results.

Liquid works, it's snappy, and it has more customization.

I like it alot.

Anyway, just wanted to comment after the long weekend and since I'm a flashaholic, I'll be trying other roms and see if they can perform "for me" better than Liquid.

Thanks to the developers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 2JZ GZE:
Might I ask which specific ROM you are talking about?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
I'd rather not mention specifically what rom I'm talking about just to be respectful to all.

With that being said, just go to the Android Development section and you'll easily find it as it's new and extremely popular right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 2JZ GZE:
So here are the issues I have with 2.8

1. Bluetooth streaming audio is spotty at times. Connection intermittently drops and a reboot is needed to fix. Best bet is to reboot the phone prior to connecting your Bluetooth to a source.

2. Korean fonts do not show up and typing with a Korean keyboard doesn't work. Confirmed this with two galaxy s4 phones. Both clean flashed liquid ROM 2.8.

3. If HDR is chosen on the camera app, phone freezes and camera app doesn't work. A reboot is needed at that point. Regular camera mode works fine.

I hope these issues get addressed in the next build! This is a great ROM and it's making me love this phone all over. Thanks devs!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ReDDs3D:
Same thing on my phone. This also happened with CM10! Both ROM's were perfect except for the camera. It's the only thing keeping me on touchwiz rom's.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n0m0n:
Flashed this rom and gapp's after wiping dvork cache, cache, data, factory reset a few times and I an not able to get the Play Store to download anything.

Im getting the following error when I try to download anything:

"update (app name) could not be downloaded due to an error 920"

or

"update (app name) could not be downloaded due to an error 927"

Searched and tried going into settings apps and wiping the Google Play store updates, cache, data.

Tried deleting and adding my account name.

Can anyone direct me as to what I need to do to correct this?

Thanks

EDIT: I tried to re-flash the ROM and gapp's again after wiping everything and now it says it doesn't have data even though it says its connected to my wifi network.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, please.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nath5:
I also have this problem but I am on carbon with ktoons kernel. I believe it's an asop problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
Maybe it's a kernel problem.

I just made 2 calls and could hear the ringing just fine.

Both of you that mentioned this are on kt kernel and I'm on chronic.

Check it out and let us know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nath5:
Only happens occasionally for me, I give chronic a go and see if that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] igdawgi:
I'm having the same issue also. In addition having a initial calling that quickly has "lost call" and ends split second of calling someone. Need to wait a few minutes before calling out. It may be kernel related then... Agh

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LuigiBull23:
What you guys need to do is another clean install of the ROM and gapps then head into the Play Store. If you still get those errors then do the following:

1) Navigate to Settings > Apps > All

2) Clear cache, data, then force stop

~ Google Play services

~ Google Play Store

~ Google Services Framework

3) Reboot then reenter the Play Store and accept terms.

I'll try again later when I get back but I spent days flashing re-flashing and more flashing and tried the above but it didn't work for me.

I do have root, su, have root apps working so I just don't know what or why.

Only thing I was wondering is I constantly see Connected to wifi network (my SID), constantly so I am wondering if the device is turning on off constantly and that is creating a problem that I am not seeing since I also have data through my carrier.

Only thing I can think of.
