[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yes sir. i tried it on my ROM (before adding to Q/A) and it worked just fine. at least two other users have confirmed this as well.

i wouldn't bother too much... i will have 4.3 up very very shortly. the zip is ready but i need to do some framework tweaks, then will upload ;)

only thing i won't have done is the battery mod but i'll update that and do center clock on monday. just don't have enough time right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] scorpio_bpl86:
thank you very much .... i will wait then :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
priv-app was added in KitKat

you have a wake lock

Does galaxy gear work with this? ..I saw the apk gear manager Apk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
As far as I know, it doesn't. Galaxy gear works only with TW.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] caloyzki:
hello rom is very solid great. i have a question but its not a big deal. how come if someone is calling it seems like the light will appear delayed from ringing like maybe 5 seconds before light comes up. any idea how to adjust it? thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
I believe it's kernel related. I'd bet 100 internets that you're running one of ktoonsez' latest kernels. The same happens to me sometimes depending on which build I'm using.

Now, for my question, is there anything out there xposed flavored that'll let me changed the color of the quicksettings tiles? In direct light they're difficult to see, but a little theming would make all the difference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LoopDoGG79:
Xuimod should do the trick for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregorina:
Hi, I'm super excited about this rom but when i install it via cwm 6.0.4.7 i get a status 7 error message. I'm installing 4.4 and my model is m919. Thanks for the help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
I haven't installed anything using the latest CWMR, so I can't really offer any info about that. But, you could always switch back to 6.0.4.4 and see if the problem persists. I installed using that CWMR version and had no issues whatsoever.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregorina:
Worked thx. I was like, why would it work with 6.0.4.4 if it didn't with 6.0.4.7...lol. Again, thx.

---------- Post added at 08:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 AM ----------

Thx for the great rom. I used titanium backup to backup all my system data with my previous rom. Is there a way to restore my text messages and call history? I tried to restore the phone/messaging store app, but this results in a lot of force closes. Thx for helping out a noob.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregorina:
Hi again. Thank you for bearing with me. I followed the link you gave for if the sound doesn't work and you get data drops, it fixed the data drops but i still lose sound. Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mralexander006:
Just a tip for people using this ROM with Xposed installed: using a module called Xposed Additions, you can remap the primary function of the "menu" capacitive button to be the "recent apps"/multitasking button. I noticed Samsung made this change on the GS5, and thought it was a good idea. Xposed Additions will let you make the change, as I don't think GravityBox lets you chance the primary function of the capacitive buttons (could be wrong). With this change, the phone feels much much slicker for multitasking for me. I don't think you really give up much, since most apps I use let you access the menu/settings with on screen dots, and you can still remap the function as a long-press.

Not exactly "development" related, but I hope others can make some use of the info!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
You must've flashed something wrong. Everyone's done that and hasn't experienced any cons.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregorina:
grrrrrrr.....you're right, all that programming at night at work....must have killed my brain. After you said that i read the instructions again and for the first odin flash i selected pda instead of phone. I tried it again with phone, but no fix. Do you know of an easy fix? Or should I just odin back to stock?

Also, now that I'm actually reading stuff, that thread with the instructions says it's only for the mdl bootloader, I'm on 4.3 with mk2, should I still follow the thread? I guess I got confused because the QA said to use this thread if you didn't have sound and there was no other options for 4.3 if you didn't have sound/data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
You just use the thread. But I would Odin back to stock if you have time and just start everything fresh. And its the MK2 hybrid (your boot loader should be fine).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregorina:
If I don't have time right now (I'm at work) is there a way to fix the issue? I can't make calls right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
Mobile Odin. It's in the Play Store. I believe the free version will do just fine. Actually, scratch that. I don't think you can use MO with this rom since MO doesn't support the i9505. You might be able to change your build.prop to M919 and it would work. Let me try that out and reply back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Yeah I was about to say, build prop won't let you do that.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

Not that I know of :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qxps:
It does support the i9505, but not the i9505G. Changing the build prop to jfltetmo and SGH-M919 will allow mobile odin to work fine, however, it will throw a warning that it does not fully support 4.4.2 as of yet and recommend you don't use it, so... It's up to him/her if he/she wants to use it in kitkat. I haven't tried flashing anything with it, but you can select partitions and all that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregorina:
Please forgive my noobishness. I can flash this rom via CWM. What is the difference of doing that and using odin? I restored a nandroid backup of before i installed the rom and I also reflashed virginrom, but I still don't get sound. So I just assumed the modems are completely separate from rom flashing, but is using odin somehow different?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qxps:
I really don't know what the context was, but I thought you were trying to flash the modem files to fix the dropping audio. In which case, the modem files come in odin (tar/bin) format only and you can't use cwm to flash those. The rom, yes, it can be flashed via cwm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
ROMs and Radios are two different things. When you flash a ROM, you don't flash a radio at all. ROMs are flashed through CWM while Radios are flashed through Odin, or mobile Odin (if you can). The sound loss you're getting is due to the modem. We need a hybrid modem because we're don't have a 4.4.2 bootloader. So just follow the guide, and you should be good....

"How to:

1. Download this zip: https://www.mediafire.com/?7tj2smth2vp1b7m

2. Extract the files inside the zip into anywhere you want, as long you remember where it is.

3. Put your phone into download mode (vol down+home)

4. Open odin, click on phone, select Modem_UVUAMDL.tar, untick auto-reboot, and press start.

5. When the install finishes, manually reboot it back to download mode.

6. Using odin again, click on phone, select modem.bin, untick auto-reboot, and press start.

7. When finished, reboot and you're done!

If you already have the MDL modem installed, just ignore steps 4 and 5. " (taken from the thread--not my work).

Remember to flash both files (with Modem_UVUDAML.tar first) in PHONE not PDA, like I said, follow the instructions word for word.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qxps:
Clarify this please. You are saying you are on MK2. Do you mean you are on, or, previously flashed the stock MK2 rom? If that's the case, the modem files won't work for you if your bootloader is MK2 (4.3).

The LTE radio needs to match the bootloader. No match = issues. The modem files that I recall for the tmo s4 contain an MDL LTE radio and an MK2 GSM radio.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregorina:
When i got the phone it had 4.3 on it. So if i odin back to stock, root and then reflash virginrom and i get the sound loss and data loss again. Is there a way to fix that?

---------- Post added at 02:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 AM ----------

Thank you will try when i get home. Oh i didn't notice that the instructions are the same as in the link. I did redo it using phone instead of pda but no luck. Could i have just screwed something up when i used pda?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Possibly yes, you might have screwed up something because the instructions were specially for those who are on MDL baseband. Since you were already on MK2 there was no need for you to flash the hybrid modem. I think you should search the XDA threads to fund a solution for issue. I would go to the same thread and see if anyone else had similar issue.

I think you can always Odin back stock 4.3

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregorina:
Yes i plan on going back to stock when i get off work. But if i have the same problem of no data/sound how can i fix that when i install this rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
I would Odin back to 4.2.2 so you get the MDL modem, then flash this ROM, and then do the hybrid modem. It works for me but you can go back to 4.3 if you want.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregorina:
I thought that once you were on 4.3 you can't go back because of knox? But if i can i can just root the with cf autoroot?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Yes even that's what my understand is. Once you are on 4.3 with Knox you can't go back. I wouldn't recommend you to Odin back to 4.2 if you already have 4.3 Knox bootloader.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Knox just alerts Samsung to tampering. If you flashed with Odin, Knox is probably already tripped. I think you can Odin back. Once you're there all you do is flash a recovery ( I recommend OUDHS) and flash supersu.zip found on xda. I never used CF auto root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregorina:
Has anyone installed this rom on 4.3? And did you have any problems?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qxps:
May I know what stock files you are flashing? You shouldn't be having the issues :( let me provide an example.

For the modem files a few posts ago that fix the MDL audio bug when running a newer ROM on an MDL bootloader (coming from 4.2.2), this is the outcome:

Bootloader: MDL

GSM: MK2 (Upgraded from MDL to MK2)

LTE: MDL

ROM Files: MK2 or 4.4.2 like this one (virgin rom)

Your stock setup on 4.3 is:

Bootloader: MK2

GSM: MK2

LTE: MK2

ROM Files: MK2

If you flash the modem files for MDL on MK2:

Bootloader: MK2

GSM: MK2 (re-flashed the same version)

LTE: MDL (Downgraded from MK2)

ROM Files: MK2

What I don't understand is why you are losing the audio coming from MK2 when everything matches. MK2 (4.3) does not need the modem files and that is why the OP says its for 4.2 roms only, not 4.3, because 4.3 already has the upgraded and matching files.

If anything you would need a modem file for 4.4.2, but there isn't a tmo 4.4.2 stock rom yet to extract it from. But even so, plenty of people here are running without a 4.4.2 modem file.

Either the audio bug is caused by something else entirely and we have been wrong all along thinking it was the mismatching of versions or there is something else at play here.

I would say, flash a stock samsung touchwiz MK2 odin tar. Not a custom one, but a completely stock to have everything back to original. The stock tar includes all the compatible files including both modem images. Then root, flash a recovery (updated one, 6.0.4.4+ for cwm if i recall). Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik and do not restart. Flash virgin rom, flash KT kernel (from his thread) for 4.4.2 google play edition.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthonyp326:
Does anyone else having issue with Google keyboard being slow..when typing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
What kernel are you on?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthonyp326:
Kt 2-5 version
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
First, you should update, there's a lot of new stuff. And then you should grab a performance profile. I recommend Ktoonsified v5 and Hydra.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthonyp326:
I tried v5 and it crashes the app every time

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

Okay on newest version seems a little better but still a little slow but better..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
v5 crashes because the new update gives new kernel settings so v5 settings aren't applicable to older versions. Clear data then try my settings :). I'm using it right now...very fast for me.

Also when you put your settings, set to set immediately on boot then restart. And then wait for the settings to settle in for a bit and it should crash. I found that it crashes sometimes when you just open the app right after boot.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
seems to be some issues with newer recoveries and how they read the flash script.

you would have needed to grab an SMS backup app from the play store before wiping your phone. not sure if there are apps for this for call history. i've never needed to back that up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i've seen others report that were already on the newer 4.3 bootloader that an ""all" (GSM/LTE parts) MK2 baseband works. try that instead of the hybrid. so you need to flash NON-HLOS.bin and modem.bin from MK2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
this is why your keyboard is slow. as the dev of this ROM, i recommend using the one included for the absolute best bug free experience. if you want a little bit better battery, i recommend the Add-on Kernel i posted in the OP. outside of that, you may have issues when using other Kernels. the one that comes with the ROM and the one in OP have been thoroughly tested by myself and i stand by them both.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthonyp326:
Anyone using a audio manager like DSP that can increase Bluetooth volume?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregorina:
viper4android fx has an option for bluetooth playback gain control.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
Hey guys I'm new to the thread and after switching over to this ROM, I'm experiencing terrible data connection and WiFi connection. I've been doing a bit of looking around in the thread and I believe I see some things related to my issue but, being new here I don't wanna take someone else's solution to an issue that may have been completely unrelated. I'm coming from DarthStalker X1 4.3, and I updated to the correct moden for 4.3.

I guess my question is, is there a new moden that I need to be flashing? I see stuff about a Hybrid moden within this thread. Is that the one I need? Thanks in advance. This ROM is fantastic, very fast and very smooth. Loving it so far just need to fix this data issue!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LoopDoGG79:
What baseband are you on?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
I'm on MK2, thanks for the quick response by the way
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
You are on correct baseband, you don't have to flash the hybrid modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
what device model #?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
I was M919 prior to flashing this ROM now it's GT-1905G
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
if you never upgraded to Official 4.3, only a 4.3 ROM, you need the hybrid baseband
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tonytien:
Great ROM. Is there any chance you could disable the menu button unlock with an unsecured lockscreen?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
No. I'm assuming you mean the tapping menu unlock while the screen is on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregorina:
Does this rom have fast dormancy? Also how much of the msm_hsic_host kernel wake lock do you usually get with this rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Full Intensity:
Corrct me if im wrong, when 4.4.2 officially gets pushed to T-Mobile, will the hybrid modem not be needed. Will it just be a regular install like 4.3 was
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
thanks [MENTION=1865934]audit[/MENTION]mam :highfive:

i believe we tried this with a build.prop edit and there was no difference. i never get kernel wake locks. deep sleeps like a baby after warm milk

only time will tell if this will be the case. i personally will not be upgrading to a KNOX bootloader.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregorina:
Seriously? None at all? Surely just a couple mins? Last night i had 2 mins of kernel wake locks over a 7.5 hour period. Which i think is freaking amazing.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] malevolent000:
Let me preface this by saying awesome Rom so far. I'm having an issue with the gallery and camera. When using either app they completely lock my phone up. I'm coming from a clean flash and I have tried clearing the gallery cache and wiping dalvik/cache. Any suggestions as to what the issue might be?

Go and reflash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] malevolent000:
Same problem after wiping and re-flashing ,although my phone does not lock up but both camera and gallery apps do. Md5 matches and this is a fresh install with no restored applications.

CSC Files...

I see the Tmobile CSC file is already included in the ROM... here is my question.

I have the Tmobile S4 but running on AT&T, all seems to be fine, but I see the AT&T CSC file as an optional download and it pauses me in thought...

Should I flash the AT&T CSC being I am on AT&T or is it like the modem and should use the Tmobile version (of course with modem using correct APN)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qxps:
No, CSC is not like modem. It's just regional/branding configurations. If you want, flash the at&t csc. It won't affect phone stability or its signal reception. Its not mandatory though. You can still stay on the tmo csc, it does not necessarily have to be the same as the carrier you are on. The only thing you may have to configure with the tmo csc is the apn, and that's it. If you need the apn just post back.

Although, if I remember correctly, changing the CSC on the S2 required/caused a factory reset. I don't know if it still applies on the S4. Just flash it after the rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] abovenbeyond:
Oh no... I have the APN. Everything is working fine (I believe) using the T-Mobile CSC... Which is really why I'm asking... So what does the CSC file really change, meaning is there ANY reason or benefit to flash the At&t CSC file?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qxps:
CSC is for apn list, default apn configured out of the box, default display language for initial boot up, initial keyboard and input settings, default shortcut on the launcher and its settings on initial boot up, default camera and contact settings at boot up. These are some of them. There are other functionalities that sometimes custom ROMs take advantage of by enabling/disabling them, which they call "CSC features".

Its mostly branding and initial start settings. Although it does not apply to the M919, on the i9505 it also determines OTA updates availability (software will see its branded to a specific region and determine whether you are eligible or not).

You can open up the flashable csc zips and look through them. They are mostly (except for like 2 files) xml configuration files.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] abovenbeyond:
Oh I see... OK I won't be flashing it lol cause I change all that anyways. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
CSC does absolutely nothing in google edition at all, it there because it's part of secfeature.jar which does get used, but the CSC folder does nothing at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gregorina:
If i need wifi tethering can you recommend any roms that are as close to android stock as this one or close to it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
this is incorrect, Dan. if you flash GPE CSC, you'll notice that the capacitive buttons no longer light up when you touch the screen. flash back to T-mob CSC and that feature works again. just an example of how you know the contents within that folder work ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
if you're using the phone on ATT, use the ATT one. I've gone over this countless times in the thread
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] caloyzki:
yes im on the latest cwm. so it is because the CWM thing thats why i get error everytime i installed the zip file? thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
I don't know. Some of the newer CWM sometimes get errors. Which caused me to downgrade many times. That's why I told you to try the recovery because you try other ones.

How can i downgrade from the previous version? I don't know how

I'll flash it, just wondered why I am lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qxps:
I don't follow either. By that logic every i9505G, i9505, M919 or any other variant on the at&t network should root and flash the at&t csc or face ______________?
