Also this ROM will not run on your T Mobile S4 unless you flash a T Mobile Kernel separately.

You have the choice between Faux, KT, or Chronic kernels for AOSP. All are available in the DEV section of this forum.

That ROM is made for the i9505 international version and without a T MObile kernel you will likely just hang at the Galaxy splash screen.

On my xda premium v4 app, none of the threads I've wrote in are showing up in my participated section. I can't keep track of the threads I've posted in now. It shows up on the site, but not in the App. I've uninstalled, re-installed, installed a different version. Deleted all app data... What gives?

Somebody please help, I've asked this question in about 6 different places and haven't even gotten a response. I've even emailed xda support...

You were right -- it was a hidden CWM recovery. I couldn't see it in root explorer because I didn't realize that I had lost root access when I upgraded to Android 4.3. Once I flashed the latest version of SuperSU it revealed itself to me. Thanks!

Thanks for your help, have more questions

So does this mean that the "roms" come with their own kernel and hence why the two particular roms I tried to flash did not work? If yes then do you know which version of CM 10.1 will work with my phone if I were to stick with the T-mobile kernel on the phone? if this is not possible and I have to get a different kernel then I will get back to youtube and try to find a tutorial on how to install a kernel, but before I do that I would just like to know the answers to these questions. Thank you very much again for all your help.

If you want to flash CM 10.1.3, download it from this page. You have a choice to flash a nightly (which may have issues) or a stable which as the name suggests it's stable. You don't need to flash a kernel if you choose any. Make sure that you do a clean flash though. Hope this helps.

Here is the proper thread for the Cyanogen CM10 rom, you will find instructions as to how to flash it and the download link too.

In the future, remember that you should only flash those roms which are designed for your specific phone.brand name and model.

The thread above is for the Samsung Galaxy S4 M919 phone. (for tmobile)

Personally I prefer only to flash roms found here in these xda forums.

Good luck!

Dont worry about it. It was a mistake post. I quoted the wrong thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Not quite. You can flash any i9505 rom you want. Just flash a 919 kernel afterwards and it will work just fine. Most of the roms that are made for various s4's like CM and Slim are all the same except for the kernel they come with
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
You don't need YouTube. Flashing a kernel is exactly the same as flashing a rom.

You boot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik ONLY then flash the kernel.zip and reboot. Boom...new kernel will be installed

re: different roms

Yes I know about flashing i9505 roms as well as flashing AOKP roms which work with a kernel swap but

after seeing all the issues and problems this guy had I just gave him the easiest and surest solution. :)

AT&T roms are almost always swappable and useable for Tmobile with a kernel replacement.

Personally I don't like using any AT&T/CM10x/AOSP types of roms on Tmobile due to the lack of wifi calliing ..

---------- Post added at 03:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

When choosing which kernel to go with, I dont know wether I should use AOSP or TouchWiz. I'm assuming I should go with touchwiz since I like the features of the touchwiz that samsung has on all their phones, but I dont know if this is referring to the same touchwiz. Also on this link http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44314828&postcount=2&nocache=1&z=5693227305644402, do i go with the 4.2.2 or 4.3 kernel if I am to install this version of CM 10.1.3 Stable for T-mobile GS4 from Cyanogenmod website? My phone is currently on Android 4.2.2 so I'm assuming I should go with 4.2.2 but I dont know if the rom I'm choosing is 4.2.2 or 4.3. I also dont know if I can directly install a 4.3 kernel and 4.3 rom and everything will work fine or my phone will crash since I never upgraded the stock phone before I rooted it and everything to andriod 4.3. Sorry I know a lot of questions. I am trying to catch up with the world as you can see lol

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------

I read your last post, i know how to flash kernels now, sorry bout the dumb odin question earlier.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
The Dev section of this forum.

No. Stop. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Stop what you are doing before you break your phone.

Kernels do not get flashed in Odin. Kernels get flashed in recovery.

Please don't take what I'm saying here to sound mean or anything because that is not how I intend it. This it to help you.

You should stop flashing anything immediately until you read more about the processes. You've skipped a few steps in the learning process that will help you to understand what these processes are so youdon't ruin your phone. By all means ask a ton of questions here but read read read, and then read some more before you start flashing stuff again.

You are new at this so slow down. Nothing wrong with being new. The best expert in the world at thsi stuff was brand new once too. Take your time and learn and make sure you really understand what you are doing before you flash anything. It's not hard, but it takes time to learn it. Don't skip the learning part. And never just blindly follow a guide on how to perform a mod. Make sure you understand each step and what it does so when it goes wrong you know how to back out of it.

AOSP kernels for AOSP roms.

TW kernels for TW roms.

They are not interchangable. You can't just get TW features on an AOSP rom by flashing a TW kernel. The phone will hang at the splash screen or boot animation ane will not boot.

Unfortunate

So unforunately I read this post to late. I figured out earlier that not to use odin for the kernel installation once i went back to read your post so dont worry i didnt use odin. Heres what i did do. I went into TWRP, and wiped the system, cache, and two other things not including the sdcard and usb something. Then I tried to install the kernel from the stable cm10.1.3 webpage of cyanogenmod's website, ofcourse with my luck, it failed. So i figure the kernel would work since it was the one they made available with the stable cm 10.1.3 download made specially for the T-mo gs4, but as always i'm doing something wrong or those files are crap. This is where I'm at now, I am searching the forums for the most recent tw kernel and the latest stable cm 10.1 version specifically for this phone.

---------- Post added at 09:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

So after reading quite a bit on the forums, I believe I should flash the kernel i got from CM website with my stock rom still intact, reboot, then go back into recovery and install the cm rom and gapps. Am i going in the right direction, or do i still have it wrong?

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------

Is there a way to backup my stock kernel that came with the phone, incase I have to restore the kernel as well if everything goes to ****?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
You are still very wrong.

First you wiped the system before installing the kernel. That is why it didn't boot. There was nothing to boot! The system IS the rom.

You also cant put a cm kernel on the stock rom.

For a while dont worry about kernels. Just flash a rom and keep the kernel it comes with for a while. You are new to this so you wont notice the difference with a different kernel yet. The kernel that comes with CM is very good. Custom kernels are tweaked a little bit more but as a newer user I promise you that you won't be able to tell the difference. After messing with CM and the kernel it comes with for a while you'll start to be able to see what a custom kernel will offer you.

Keep in mind a custom kernel gives you a lot more settings you can screw up too. Learn the rom setting sstuff first, then move into kernels. Trust me on this.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
See the part of your post that I quoted. Do that.

You only want cm stable versions, not nightlies.

If you want a ROM with more features that is plenty stable enough try SlimBean. It is based off CM with more features added. Same rules.....use the kernel it comes with.

CM so far is not for me as I thought.

Honestly I didnt like it at first, and I think I still don't like it overall. There are a few things I do like about it though. Since this is the first time I rooted and rom'd a phone, I can say that I love the way you can change practically every setting to your liking. What I don't like or miss is all the added functionality from the stock rom especially all the features of touchwiz like split screen and many other features. Now I am still new to this so for all I know their might be a way to get all those features with the correct apps or maybe if i learn linux/unix, ruby and all the languages I need to know and be familiar with and actually become a developer, then I might be able to recreate all the features I want, but so far for the last 48 hours I have been customizing my CM 10.1.3 phone and have been disapointed at almost every turn because I can no longer do what I use to do as far as convinience is concerned. The only added feature I see worth having is the fact that I can tether my phones internet connection via usb now without t-mobile's permission and payment system, but other then that, I'm thinking of restoring my phone next week after I play around with CM some more this weekend and conclude its not for me as I though it was.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: differences

There is a big difference between the Wicked rom and aosp/aokp/cm10 types.

Wicked rom is based on the stock Jellybean 4.2.2 Samsung M919 Galaxy S4.

This means you get all the bells and whistles which make our phones so excellent.

Also we get to keep all the great "Smart" features and the very BEST camera too.

Not to forget Wicked rom and all other M919 Jellybean Touchwiz based roms have wifi calling.

Those other roms in my opinion are excellent for people who like to do a lot of

experimentation with their phones.

They are also excellent for those who want to learn a lot more about the

Android OS and possibly become a developers in the future.

These aosp/aokp/cm10x type roms all lack wifi calling and they all lack just about

all the "Smart" features too. Worst of all none of them use the full featured Samsung

camera, instead they have what almost looks like home made cameras which lack

a lot of the features and user options when compared to the stock samsung camera.

(no wonder why all the above roms are so small in size compared to stock based roms)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SaintCity86:
So wicked is the way to go basically. I get it. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Exel:
Not exactly, that "review" was really biased.

The main difference between TouchWiz ROMs and AOSP / CM based ROMs is TouchWiz is Samsung's pretty much signature touch to Android Phones. It's their customized interface which does include those "smart" features and a really nice camera. But it is more bulky which sometimes causes the phone to lag a bit, and it comes with a lot of pre-installed apps that can't be removed without rooting and / or flashing a custom ROM.

AOSP / CM on the other hand, is a "Vanilla" like interface. Meaning it's as close to pure Android as its going to get for devices other than the Nexus line. This means it's a lot less bulky and has little to no bloatware. It runs pure Android without any Manufacturer and / or Phone Carrier bloatware and interface. But, sometimes that means sacrificing features that only come in TouchWiz.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] h3ekurosaki:
Does wicked have the split screen feature? because as I was reading their download page and the features that comes with their rom, i didnt see that feature on there.

but it's part of the original features of the Jellybean 4.2.2 stock firmware and it's

controlled under standard settings in the phone as well as the toggles..

Fix "S" Issues or Flash Stock Touchwiz?

Hi, Marlybru!

I've heard of XDA but I've never actually used the forums here before so I appreciate you posting this. Now, before you rage at a noob like me, I DID read the rules AND searched he forums but I could not find a (direct or useful) answer.

Perhaps you can help me or redirect me if such a post exists.

Basically, I rooted my S4 and added a few cool features! Yay, right? Nay!

I downloaded Titanium backup and another app and deleted "bloatware" that I didn't need (instead of just freezing them to try it out first).

Now, I think I made a recovery in Samsung Kies BEFORE I rooted and I know where it is on my PC but I haven't a clue how to put it back on my phone.

If I need to put a .apk file in my system/app on my phone then I can do that but I didn't want to take further action.

So, pretty much S Voice has a network problem (even when I'm connected) or it FCs. S Note also FCs.

This was due to samsung's TTS engine but I never deleted a system file or any TTS file. I switched to Google's TTS and my gallery worked again flawlessly (yes, that wasn't working well; it was giving the "Samsung's TTS error).

My camera is acting a bit weird, too...very laggy or not taking snapshots anymore.

Basically, I'd like to know if I could fix these issues (the reason that I deleted some bloatware is that it would save me an ample amount of battery life).

It not, (and would probably be easier), is to have the original .APK or whatever I need to go to stock Touchwiz...perhaps flashing it? I did a factory reset twice to no avail.

Please, let me know if you need additional info. Thank you for the support!
