Oh I've definitely seen all the confusion, and I'm probably confusing people more when I mention the full 4.3 TW Rom. It's interesting how much confusion I also saw (in other threads) about whether or not you could even root and flash custom Roms after being on the official 4.3... But rooting, flashing a custom recovery and installing this latest VirginROM has worked perfectly fine for me.

***disclaimer: MrV does not endorse doing this*** =)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthonyp326:
Wondering if WiFi speeds are lower than usual on this ROM? Having slow WiFi and have test on two separate phones one is a lot better than the other

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] polo79:
I have went back and flashed the hybrid modem again and KitKat. All is working fine for now, I did however pass on installing the Light Manager app that let me control the notification light colors. It's possible that it could have been causing problems. Either way, so far so good :)

No. WiFi is WiFi. Check the modem or your traffic. All is fine for me.

Also disregard my last post. *mistap*
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
I had hybrid modern installed had low LTE signal. Decided to just do ota update 4.3 to her full mk2 install thinking it would make a difference in signal performance but did absolute nothing in performance still getting one bar. Is it worth the Knox bs. No if you are on 4.2 MDL modern /mk2 hybrid to take care of warranty don't do ota there is no need. I did it because I don't have warranty and had nothing to lose.

Odd storage display

I'm wondering if this is an Android settings display bug or how the app is feeding its storage consumption to Android bug.

According to Storage I've got 5.03GB available, but Apps is consuming 7.77GB. This is due to Google Music saying it's 5.28GB, but I'm using the internal setting to use the External SD Card instead.

Anyone else seeing strange math behavior for Storage?

Screenshot included.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
a small problem? if you're positive you've installed the hybrid baseband correctly, then it is not causing your small problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
lol it's because you're using the internal setting to use the external sd card. not a bug, just how you have it set up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] d01100100:
Well I meant the setting within Google Music to use the external card.

I didn't have this issue when I had created a symlink from /data/data/com.google.music to an external directory. Funny thing about that method is Google Music would classify both forms of storage (internal vs. external) has having the 29+GB of storage found on external. I might switch it back to the symlink just to keep storage sane.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mralexander006:
I agree -- I also found no performance gains from getting the full ota 4.3 update, and personally would also not recommend people go through the hassle (it's better to do as MrV suggests and use the hybrid modem). If someone already did the full 4.3 update, however, I just wanted to note that I have no issues with using it with this ROM, besides potentially voiding my already non-existent warranty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
I've installed it correctly. I flash often so I know what I'm doing. But its just the multiple texts and last retrieval. But it's whatever. Thanks for the help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] melqui2004:
Can elite kernel be use with this ROM ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i'm not sure what Kernel that is. i think that would be a question you'd ask the dev of the Kernel, though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] id4rox:
Love virginrom, been using it as my daily driver since I got my S4. However, I've been having a problem others haven't mentioned. When I have wifi turned on, I cannot send MMS. Mobile data is on, however if I send an MMS, it will stay on SENDING status until I turn off wifi, then it goes right off on it's merry way
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Apostle:
I don't believe you can send MMS over wifi. I never could on TW. Haven't tried it on this ROM though.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
thanks Christopher :highfive:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
reflash the ROM. don't restore any data. don't add your Google account. turn your wifi on, send an MMS to someone. i promise it'll work. something you've done post-flash is causing your issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
newest build is ready but SuperSU was just updated to v1.93. i'm waiting for the web download to be fixed as it's currently corrupt

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dr. Fed:
My WiFi speeds on this rom are perfectly fine, but they tend to be faster with the TW rom that I also use. I believe there are several things about a rom that can affect wifi speeds, for example the kernel. Im no expert. So yeah, your wifi speeds may be slower from one rom to another.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] scorpio_bpl86:
Thanks

just wanted to say thanks to [MENTION=2651267]mrvirginia[/MENTION] and everyone who helped with this ROM

sold my S4 yesterday and waiting to get either the M8 or gs5

Thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kelmar13:
@ mrvirginia - What is the wake_drop fix?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
fixes the issue when you lock the screen with power button, for a second or two you can override the lock by pressing menu or back, rather annoying
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kelmar13:
Thanks! I had never even noticed that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] id4rox:
Yessir, I will re-flash this evening, using 3.1.2 and report back with the outcome! Thanks for an update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nklenchik:
I've always used an AOSP-based rom but holy sheet, this one is amazing. To be fair, I've only played around for a few hours, but the UI is butter, especially scrolling. Idk if it's just because I'm at work and my signal is terrible, or I'm not used to the GSM way of things, but I had to input my apn settings manually and I'm showing H in the statusbar, but my mobile network settings say lte. Is that odd?

missisng options and apps

hi just downloaded the rom. how come there is a lot of missing apps? no calendar no maps, no 3 way boot options. is there any way i can get them? thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] johnny crapple:
Download the apps from the play store. You can get the reboot menu in gravity box in xposed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] caloyzki:
which calender is good on this rom? and where i can get those gravity box in exposed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] johnny crapple:
Google calendar is good. You can get xposed from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 and in the op and gravity box is in the download section in the xposed app
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Master_Ellis:
Hi Guys

Really loving this ROM but I've noticed the camera photo quality diminished in a major way from 4.3 to 4.4. Pictures seem slightly out of focus, fuzzy, and I was hoping for a camera mod/fix if anyone has any suggestions. Compared photos from my Nexus 5 and in all scenarios the camera on the S4 has definitely lost it's luster since the 4.4.2 update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
4.4 mods are for 4.4

4.3 mods are for 4.3

i removed a bunch of Google apps mainly because most of them get updated too often to continue updating the ROM just for app updates. easier to download what you need from the Play Store and just update them manually.

I have tweaked the cam to be a little better than stock GPE. Google would likely need to modify libs to make it better
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Master_Ellis:
Thank you for the quick reply. Awesome ROM btw keep up the good work. Happy Saturday from a fellow North Carolinian

If you liked my post hit the thanks button!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
you need to install the hybrid modem. information about this is located in the Q/A section of this thread, post #3

as far as apps2sd, possibly GravityBox via Xposed. i'm not sure if it was updated for KitKat since i do not actually use GravityBox or Xposed due to it not working with ART.

thanks for this. i have been meaning to update it in OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] guyute74:
Speaking of Art. A few pages back you said you were running it now. My phone is running flawlessly under dalvik so it's time for me to spice things up? Is there more to it than just changing the option in dev settings? I tried but upon reboot I don't think it's changing? Normal reboot time and dalvik is still selected .

Running latest rom and as always, great job.

Edit: searching other threads suggests xposed may be the culprit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nklenchik:
Are you guys running the stock kernel or anything else specifically?

Sent from my Galaxy S4 using Taptalk 4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
correct, you cannot run it with Xposed. i do not use Xposed. i use no tweaks what-so-ever. i'm happy to be free of TW alone.

i personally run the ktoonsez Kernel located in the OP.

sorry it took me a bit to fully update the OP with the latest version. i was contemplating throwing in a few more modifications but i think i'm going to offer that as an add-on hopefully by the end of this week as i continue to update the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] the_original_teknikl:
Please forgive me if this is a dumb question... I noticed the Canadian virgin mobile, but can this be flashed to work with Virgin mobile USA?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] id4rox:
OK, I believe I found the culprit. It seems to be Adblock Plus that was causing the issues. Once I install it, even if I uninstall it, my MMS's do not send when I am connected to a wifi network (even if I have LTE)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
depends on which S4 variant you have

glad you found the culprit
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] id4rox:
Thanks to your handy advice! (And a few flashes)...

what I would love to see is something that can improve stock messaging. t-mobile does some crazy stuff with the stock app I think. When sending MMS, my photos have always been severely reduced in quality/resolution. I've used 3rd party messaging apps like GoSMS with some success, allowing MMS to be sent in full resolution. But have yet to find a solution for stock messaging to retain high quality MMS photos when sending!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] the_original_teknikl:
Would you be willing to elaborate on that... I can only find limited info and what I do find appears to be for Canadian virgin mobile... What variant. And what rom would work?

I'm sorry if this had been answered somewhere but I can't find it...

I would hate to buy the s4 only to find it it doesn't work... So any assistance would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
okay, i wasn't quite clear what you were asking. it seems like you're asking if the S4 works on Virgin Mobile. you would need to check which frequencies Virgin Mobile runs on and then make sure an S4 supports those frequencies. the SGH-M919 should be most compatible but again this is something you'll have to research.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] the_original_teknikl:
Thank you, that gives me an idea of what to search for.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] caloyzki:
is this rom wont charge while the phone is off? i tried it all the time but it keeps booting up by itself.

Run KT Kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Hey [MENTION=2651267]mrvirginia[/MENTION] is it possible to remap the hardware keys to make it so that instead of double tapping to get to the recent apps you just hold it, kind of like danvdh's ROM. And I don't really care for GravityBox.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yes, it is. I'll hopefully get that mod out this week

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------

What settings are you running from the shop? And it may be some app. Check your location settings (set it to low battery until you actually use GPS) and try going to Settings>Menu>Advanced and disable scanning always available.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] caloyzki:
What shop you talking too? And also i don't know where to go to check those location and settings you are saying. If you can tell me step by step ty. Sorry for being noob.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Go to Settings-Location-Mode. Select Battery Saving. Hope this helps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
The shop is the profiles/scripts downloaded that you find in KTweaker after you install KT kernel. They are preconfigured kernel settings to help you save battery or boost performance.

Location settings are found in Settings>Location just as the person above.

The other WiFi setting can be found at Settings>WiFi>Advanced and click disabled WiFi always scanning as I've said.

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] caloyzki:
Thanks. Location already set to save battery. Already disabled always scanning. But i don't have that kt shop you talking about. Where i could find that?i don't have ktweaker.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Yeah that helps. But tell me what you're trying to get out of your phone and I'll help you get a good profile for your phone from KT kernel. Like do you surf Facebook a lot? Play games? Do you check your screen a lot?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Here's inside the KTweaker app. And the second photo is inside the Profiles & Scripts category. There you find the shop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] caloyzki:
Facebook once in a while, not into games only if my son get my phone. Mostly browsing on my phone. Yeah check my phone a lot sometimes. But i don't have any ktweaker app. On my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
You should have a KTweaker if you flashed KT kernel. Are you sure you flashed it right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] caloyzki:
Yes i flashed the kt zip from the mods on the first page. How to attach a pic here? Im using my phone but it seems that there is no option to attach pics.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Should be top right to attach pictures.

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

And here: http://apicdn.viglink.com/api/click...-INTL-02.05.2014.zip&loc=http://xdaforums.com

Flash the latest KT kernel from the source. You will definitely get KTweaker if you do.

Flash the zip.

Then wipe cache, dalvik. And then fix permissions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
I have to go for the night. But after you flash it, the KTweaker app should appear in your app drawer. Open it and go to the shop (in profiles and scripts). Download the profile 'Ktoonsified v4' and the script 'Hydra' then restore them both from the respective 'restore profile' and 'set script on boot'.

Then at the main screen changed the settings to set settings IMMEDIATELY on boot.

After that you should tweak the extras menu to your liking. Mainly: Vibration strength, Trinity colors (changes the shades on your phone), and the LED fade mode (how long and how your led light flashes during a notification). Then after that you should reboot to apply the script and you should be good. I gave you my settings and I'm getting good battery and performance with them so I recommend them to you. You should branch out later and find profiles and script combos that are the best for you. There's descriptions in the 'about' field if you want to see what the scripts/profiles are made of. Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrMiracle:
No more restart when turned off

how close are we to solving the restart issue, when the phone is powered off?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] caloyzki:
thanks a lot. now i already have the ktweaker and i will follow the steps you just said. thanks again for helping the noob sir.

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

you can just download it from the playstore
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
not sure if anyone is trying to mod a bootloader since you can, and will likely, brick your device. it's just not gonna happen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] caloyzki:
is it safe to enabled the fast charging on the ktweaker? is there anyone here enable the fast charging? thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Yeah it's safe. But the only use for it is to make USB to computer charging fast as AC charging, it won't make your AC charge faster. And the only negative is that you can't access your files on the PC while charging.

[MENTION=2651267]mrvirginia[/MENTION] Is there anyway to increase the in-call volume maybe with a build prop edit or something else I cna do myself? Otherwise this ROM is perfect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
I saw a mod in the dev section.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Thanks but I just tried that mod and it caused a bootloop. I had to restore my nondroid backup. It seems that mod only works on 4.3.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Ah, sorry then. I don't know then.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
No problem, thanks for trying to help but I figured it out. I took the sound files referenced in the volume mod thread from Danvdh's latest GE 4.4 ROM and modified them according to the volume boost guide and it worked.

Here are the files but permissions should be set to rw-r-r- in order for them to work:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ruwiredup:
OMG, I love this rom. Sooo fast.

Only been running it for a few days now but notice it is sucking my battery down a bit faster. Is that normal because of the performance?

I used to get through a day when I was running a stock rooted rom. With this one, I just make it halfway through the day before I have to charge.

Thanks for the GREAT work!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Check your battery section in the settings app. Might be an app. Also flash KT kernel, that might help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qxps:
Is the GPE ktoon kernel on your OP the same as the GE one he has on his thread?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
no
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qxps:
What would be the difference between the one that is included in the ROM zip and the ktoon gpe on your OP?

Is the ktoon on OP tuned for tmo but stock without the features of the KT kernel with ktweaker?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
it's closer to stock Kernel + exFat, some performance enhancements, better battery, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Would you recommend the OP one or the KT thread kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
I personally run the one in the OP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Thanks, btw you have the best links in all of XDA in my opinion (: thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] C_M@#u77:
Which mobile?

Sorry guys, maybe this question was already answered :o, but: i have a Galaxy S4 i9505 international, will i be able to flash this ROM:confused:? Is it compatible with this version of Samsung:confused::rolleyes:? The only what i see on first post is about t-mobile and att:(!

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qxps:
As far as I know, roms between i9505, tmo, at&t, canada are interchangeable as long as you use a kernel for the respective device, meaning, you need to use an i9505 kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lochman79:
Has anyone tried using Galaxy Gear smart watch with this ROM? Or do I have to use a full TW ROM? Only asking cuz I know the base for this is TW and not AOSP. And I see this includes the Gear manager apk...

pretty sure the Galaxy Gear will only work with TW.

Have u tried it?

T-Mobile galaxy S4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] caloyzki:
how come, after i did what you said, it doesnt register on my phone after the reboot? and when i open again the ktweaker it ask me a lot of pop ups if i want to activate or not. i keep saying to all of them yes, then reboot again still doesnt register on my phone that i edit on the extra. any idea why?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spacemonkie4207:
Yeah, with both MHL adapter and Samsung Media dock.

I use rotation locker to Landscape and I use Screen Standby so I can shut off the screen while the tv displays media.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Yeah the kernel settings activate a few seconds after it boots. That why you put in the settings "set immediately on boot" so when you boot up it'll register the settings and apply them. You can tell when that happens because there will be a little toast notification (white bar on the bottom)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dumasauce:

Would you mind bro to tell me where can I get xposed and gravity box ?!!

Can I get them in play store ?
