is this a fluke? I did too much modding and after reinstalling the rom, using ktoonsez kernel in the op, only installing the apps I need, and only gravity box for xposed modules, I got awesome idle drain. After 6.5 hours didn't even lose 1% and I was like ah man I have to go to work but I wanna see when it loses a %. And after almost a min of screen time finally lost a %.

Wow cool app. I wasn't implying that something was using up my battery. I was amazed to see that i didnt even lose 1% all night. Awesome battery life with this rom.

How do I get the advanced boot menu? (With options to reboot to recovery and all that?)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LoopDoGG79:
Install Xposed, then Gravity Box. For further information, go to there respective threads.

Oh, didnt know it was an option in Gravity Box. lol

This ROM with the latest Koontz version screams and great battery life.

I had been running the version from the op since nothing could match the battery life. Looks like whatever bug there was has been ironed out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
I had the kernel that came with the ROM. Do you suggest upgrading to Koontz kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cswroe:
I would do a backup first just in case, but I have had great luck with the latest Koontz kernel. I am a fairly heavy user and have been about 7-10% hour with the stock. Have not changed my habits and am running about 4-7% an hour with the latest.

Just checked my stats and am at 7 hours and at 4.5%/hr with 2.5 hours screen on.

Your mileage will vary.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregorina:
nice, what profile are you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cswroe:
Ktoonsified v5
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregorina:
did you have any problems with the ktweaker app crashing? It crashes every time I open it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cswroe:
Yeah, I had to uninstall it using Titanium Backup and reinstall with the Kernel. No problems since.

Hey guys i have an att galaxy s4 and im 4.4.2, whenever i try to boot the phone after flashing the rom my phone gets stuck in a boot loop and the phone keeps vibrating. I downloaded a tw kernel but it wont boot. any idea on how to fix this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dtokarz:
You are correct it is working, thank you. Just curious: I have tried a couple of other GE ROMs and this didn't work. Is this kernel related?

possibly

i agree. which kernel/build are you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
I have been running the June 28 Build, and the battery usage settled down after a bit. Currently, I'm on the stock kernel. I am on the July-11 build (leaked yesterday) I've been fighting with the rild for the last three days or so. I just can't seem to get it to connect to the ISIM Application on our SIM cards. I wonder if it is because the phone defaults to multisimphone instead of gsmphone.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i haven't gotten that far yet. struggling with getting root to work argh
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
Ah, yes you should use the daemon version of su. It's in the latest supersu package. The daemon just has to start early in the boot. You could replace the rild init in the build prop with a startup script that forks off a su daemon. The init that comes with supersu works well enough though.

3am update, v2

07.20.13

-v2

-re-based off of UEUBMG8 JWR66V 4.3

-added iWnnIME emoji

-fixed AOSP browser sync

-fully wipe if coming from anything lower than v2

so, a couple things to note with this release...

because this is 4.3, you may find that some apps you love no longer work. i had to pull the My Files app out, Apex Launcher doesn't work and neither does Titanium Backup - just to name a few. oh, and when you go to reboot out of recovery it will say "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix? THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE" select No. this is because of the new root method with 4.3.

also, there is no 4-way reboot for now and IME switcher is enabled. both of these will get changed together in a future update.

enjoy. i'm going to sleep.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] scorpio_bpl86:
UIDs inconsistent !!!

i installed v2 and tried restoring my apps from titanium , fo some reason restoring didnt work and the phone wasnt responding , i switched off the phone and turned it back on , and now in the screen i get a message that says " system UIDs inconsistent - UIDs on the system are inconsistent , you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable "

i did a clean install by wiping data - cache- dalvik - instal v2 - cache - dalvik

please assist ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] studacris:
Rewipe like it's telling you to....a fresh flash may be needed if it persists.

Titanium will likely need an update to be fully compatible with 4.3. Probably best not to use it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Charlie Brown:
Just a heads up Titanium Backup doesn't work with android 4.3 yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] scorpio_bpl86:
thank you

whatapp messenger is giving a error " application cannot be installed - 24 "

i guess this time what i did was i reflashed and just tried to restore whatsapp from titanium ... it didnt work either ... so i killed the process and went to the market and tried installing and it gave that " application error "

flashing it 3 rd time and this time not touching titanium at all :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
it has been confirmed that titanium backup also does not work on 4.3. the app needs an update.

again, you may find that some apps that you love to use do not work on 4.3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
whatsapp might be broken for 4.3, too.

edit: working just fine from typical install from market
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] scorpio_bpl86:
yes ... whatsapp is working fine

just finished installing all the apps ... most of the apps are working fine

thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
np! glad to hear everything is working as intended :)

Apps that are not working in 4.3 Leaks

Friends, Romans & ROM lovers,

I've installed 3 different Android 4.3 leaks on my T-Mobile Galaxy S4 and here is a list of apps I've found that DO NOT work with ANY of them:

MX Player

Titanium Backup

Dish AnyWhere < functional except if you try to watch any TV shows

Nova Launcher < works but if you add a gallery pic it can't be properly resized/enlarged but Nova backups does restore icons & screen settings

Navigation < You must first open Maps and then Navigation icon appears in apps list

If anyone finds a leak of 4.3 where the aforementioned work, please let all of us know!

Glenn ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
thanks for posting. this will be system wide with all 4.3 until these apps are updated. the API level changed to 18
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] glensta:
True, but.....I ran Titanium Backup restore and it kept stopping, so went into "app info" settings, stopped app, cleared cache and restarted the restore process. After 6-8 times of doing this - all my apps restored except for Swift-key for some reason won't. All others did though.

It's not the most ideal way but it's was faster than re-downloading all that stuff from the play store. FWIW.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
livin' dangerous :laugh: haha
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
This isn't a tw ROM. Download a tw Google edition ROM. Either the one in the op or ktkernel twge.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregorina:
Yes it seems to be great. It's not as stable as the one in the op, I'm getting more wakelocks, but the cpu optimizations and the ktoonservative governor seem to be making up for the wakelocks and giving even more in terms of battery life with not even noticeable performance drain.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
you need to make sure you have g+ and photos set to sync under your Google account on your device
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lincolnskilz:
I actually had to clear the cache on Google + then it was working again. Thanks again.

Why can't I s beam a video to another s4 on your ROM the other phone was on touch wiz ....GE And touch wiz can't s beam to each other
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cswroe:
S Beam is a touchwiz feature. This is not a touchwiz ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bighleo114312:
Yeah men. You need to flash the loki-doki zip after flashing this rom or other rom. Most of the rom on the att s4 forum come lokied already.

volume setting does not work as it should

I don't know if anyone is having the same issue as I am, my issue is the sound notification txt will come on no matter what setting I set it to. It does not matter if I setup in Silent mode, vibrate mode if someone txt me the notification sound will come on.

What is working at the moment

1. Vibrate mode work correctly for incoming call only (notification txt still comes in with sound)

2. Silent mode work correctly for incoming call only (notification txt still comes in with sound)

3. Low volume work on both notification and incoming call.

The sound setting for volume is not sync at this time I have try both with sync and not sync and it does the same thing.

What is not working right now

1. Notification sound will come on not matter what setting I use and it really buggy me.

Really need your help to solve this as I can't seem to find other source that cause this.

FYI

ROM 3.1.2

Latest kernal

Gravity box install

Xposed install
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1range:
Just had this problem...same setup as your FYI...took a couple days to get it working...finally went to settings....apps...then messaging and "show notifications" was not checked...checked it and now its working...maybe that might help...oh wait your issue is the opposite....If I notice something....I'll let you know...

international devices (i9505) cannot use a stock kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dr. Fed:
I feel like my S4 running this ROM is possibly snappier than the new S5 running stock TW. Sure, this is based on watching videos and brief in-store encounters, which is perhaps not super accurate, but still significant. Nevertheless, this ROM has kept me from upgrading.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jonatasneves13:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] andrewbat:

It's a friends phone, we are in Australia and he has the new bootloader Knox enabled.

Thought I'd ask just in case...

[MENTION=2651267]mrvirginia[/MENTION] Hey again, I just reflashed your ROM and wanted to try the ktoonez kernel. I flashed the kernel from the OP and it didn't come with Ktweaker app. I went to Ktoonez's thread and find that he has the latest GPE KitKat kernel with ktweaker.

My question is: Which version should I use? Is there a particular reason why you referenced that kernel in the OP?(vs linking to his thread for the latest)

EDIT: A little bit more reading back to your post in February, you noted that the ktoonez kernel in the OP would work with Foldermount. I suppose the kernel in the OP is best for this ROM. But can Ktweaker be installed on top of it and work?(not sure since this kernel seems to be an off shoot)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
thanks for reading back. i am not sure if Ktweaker works with the Kernel in OP or not. i haven't tried it myself. if you're on an international i9505, the one from his thread will work best. if you are on an M919, i recommend the one in my OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spacemonkie4207:
I use it tweaker for SD card read ahead and switching to interactive governed. You can also switch some display options.

4.4.2 and i9505?

Hey,

Is the 4.4.2 version of this rom compatible with S4 i9505?

Because after I flashed I was unable to connect to my carrier and make any calls/texts. (is this a modem problem?)

Many thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] scootersauce:
So i am interested in raising an old issue. I did a search on this thread and found discussions on HD voice under 4.3 but nothing seemed to come of it. I recently tried omega 4.3 ROM which had HD voice. I switched back because this ROM is just way better( still hoping that the Samsung camera from tw can be made to work on ge). However the HD voice seemed to stick. I think I read somewhere that 4.4 doesn't have a service menu so I could check but the sound difference was clear when talking to another HD voice phone. I'm on T-Mobile and so is my wife's 5s. I had to reapply the hybrid modem setup because I lost tether in my ROM swapping and now tether works but HD voice is gone. Any info on that with 4.4.2 and HD voice on this ROM?

PS your roms are amazing. So happy I found them after getting my s4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Yes, you gotta go to the i9505 thread and find the right modem and right kernel.

Love your hard work man. I did just flash version 4 and I'm getting constant FCs during and after setup. Found a culprit was Setup Wizard but afterwards some app keeps crashing but no popup appears saying, "Unfortunately, (app) has stopped working" or something. I tried to download twice and I clean flashed through the TWRP version 2.7.0.1

Logcat is too big to upload here (>2MB :()

I don't know how to read logcat, but from my guess in reading it and trying volume buttons there's some problem with audio... I can't adjust volume and no sounds
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregorina:
Just curious if you've tried going into system settings->security? I'm getting FC's when I do.

Also, does anyone know how to stop the update notification just in case I decide to stay on 4.4.2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
how to kill the update notification has been covered in the thread many many times previously.

i would not recommend a dirty flash from 4.4.2. there were a few things fixed in 4.4.3 over 4.4.2. it's a better firmware all around.

I just use whichever modem congress with carrier
