new customer

I have been running GoldenEye since July and flashing various updates. When I saw trouble with the new eight point whatever I thought I'd give this a whirl cuz it's the same Dev.

Hi ya IB4sTid

You've provided the most stable stuff, I know you'll get the 4.3 kernel worked out for GoldenEye, but I took this opportunity to finally flash this rom.

Kangabean.

It's aosp.

I dig.

I took some video and I like how you can tap the screen during video for a still frame.

I see no issues. I am not peddling MyBackup Pro and I actually ended up paying for it twice, ticked me off, as the second go around was six dollars 'n something instead of $4.99. But I've downloaded it from Playstore numerous times and it restores all my texts and call logs and I like it.

What amused me was how well this kangabean rom syncs with google compared to GoldenEye on a clean install. I was amazed I didn't have to go into "my apps" in the playstore and select "all apps" and go thru the list to download 'em all again individually. What the heck? I wonder why GoldenEye can't work like that? Maybe it's a coincidence that Google finally upgraded their stuff the same time I flashed this new rom? Or more likely I couldn't run it right and this aosp way of doing things had me pick it right?

I am pleased with the CM touch and feel in Kangabean irregardless. Or as I read, perhaps CyanogenMod is a rendition of what this is actually more the real Android Open Source Project true form of the sport? Did I see you say "vanilla"? That means clean right? No bloat? No carrier ID? I dig.

This S4 just did it all automatically. It even had Root Explorer all set up to use in the app tray.

Fine job. Just like all of your other work, I can find no flaws!

I doubt I'll have to report any.

Thanks again. I may have to buy you a second beer. I'll use kangabean for a daily driver for now and see later on down the road.

That has nothing to do with the ROM and everything to do with how YOU set up your ROM's during initial login process.

When you log into Google on your phone for the first time, it gives you an option as to whether you want Google to back up your settings. If you select "yes", then the next time you set up a phone for the first time, any Android phone with any ROM, then you get the option to "restore" your Google settings. If you select "yes" then it will download all your apps to your phone automatically.

You work for the NSA huh? JK lol #pound key

All these smarty pants here. I love 'em. Yes I am dim like anyone else facing new things. I am 55 years old and it takes a while for me to get a handle on stuff like this. Thank you for explaining it. I'm obviously less clueless now. For some reason, I'm picking it different then on set up and perhaps because I've always been a fan of CM is why I inadvertently picked it correctly. I must have not picked the right things on my way up through GoldenEye.

You're saying I could have had all my apps show back up each time I did a fresh install on GoldenEye?

I am thinkin' I should just slap my forehead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CZ Eddie:
It took me awhile to figure it out myself.

It mostly upset me when all my apps were downloaded automatically though. Because I usually just restore them all from Titanium Backup along with their data (settings). That way I don't have to set up each app all over again with my preferences.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Thanks man glad ur enjoying it !!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CZ Eddie:
Best damn ROM ever.

Over a week now without a single crash/freeze.

And I get 95% of the customization that AOSP ROM's offered me, by using Xposed.

Kangabean 4.3 + CrossBreeder + Dozens of Google Crap-Apps removed from system = 48 hours on battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] celkin:
[MENTION=4274380]CZ Eddie[/MENTION] - Thats impressive battery life! Im pretty happy getting over a day with on average 4 hours screen time, using faux atm. As well, you are right on the xposed thing as well. Blew the options wide open on this rom, only thing i miss is he "dark mode" most more customizable roms offer (yes i know i can find some dark apk's, but have never had great luck going that route, combined with overall laziness lol) but i will live :)

This build is working great btw, no rebooting or fc's. Working flawless in my opinion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
I hate the auto download too. You can either not connect to wifi on the initial setup, which will prevent the apps from downloading, or just go into Google Play settings and disable the auto download immediately after your Google account is set up on the phone again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pham818:
how does crossbreeder work? i go to the thread and find out that it has 1k+ thanks.

like do i just flash it and then im done or what? is there any noticeable difference?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
What xposed module's are you using? I used wanam or 3mint on goldeneye.

Our demo takes excellent shots the auto HDR feature works great.

They are selling pretty well. If it was $99 it would be flying out the door, but if someone's gonna spend $200 they usually end up getting a galaxy or iPhone. I try to push the moto x because it's the first phone we've sold that's been vanilla android for the most part. We have a nice set up that shows all the color options and I have the touchless voice control set to my voice and people think that's really cool.

My co worker got one and he is an iPhone 4s convert and he loves it. I would personally get one but it's locked down like a mother f'er from what I've read.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CZ Eddie:
Xposed is the ONLY reason I'm on a "stock" ROM. That and because APT-X doesn't work on AOSP. :(

For dark apps, I use Team Blackout. Works great for everything except the Facebook app because Facebook disables the app after a few days and FORCES you to use THEIR app. ugh

For dark icons I really like Stealth.

Good tip! I thought it downloaded regardless of wifi or data but I never really tested that theory.

CrossBreeder is a touchy subject so I'd rather not blow up this thread with discussions on it. Many people consider it BS.

But unless you want to use the add and spyware blocker, then you just flash it and go.

But I would read the first page of the thread and the last five pages and then do a nandroid before flashing.

3mint blew up my phone. Could have just been a bad install though. But no biggie because everything it had that *I wanted*, has been available on Xposed modules.

I'm using these Xposed modules:

App Settings

Disable Clear Defaults Dialog

Enable Car Dock

Gravity Box

Notification Direct Launcher

Nottach Xposed

Swiftkey Goodness on More Fields

XBlast Tools

XThemeEngine

But I'm going to get a spreadsheet going and list all the options I want and which modules have it.

Would like to cut down on modules. More than one is a recipe for disaster if you're not careful with how you set each up.

Something I haven't found yet is the option to:

Add/remove custom Quick Settings tiles

Customize Quck Settings tile icons & text

Disable the keyboard select icon int he status bar when typing

Add option to give 5 second leeway when locking phone so if you immediately turn it back on, it doesn't require a swipe

Remove items from Shutdown Menu (like the airplane mode option).

These things above are available on AOSP ROM's.

Well, you can't set up your own icons/text in Quick Settings.

But all the other stuff is available. And I miss them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
There's an option in the Play Store app settings to only download via wifi...and it's checked by default...so no wifi, no auto download. Like I said though, I turn it off anyways because I like to read changelogs and do updates myself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
You're saying you aren't running kangbean? I thought you were saying that Xposed worked with Kangabean, but it sounds like you are running GoldenEye with Xposed modeules that give you a AOSP type theme. I'd love to be able to tweak a few things, but the mods that ibastid supplies works for the time being. I would like to get a "Quick Pin Unlock" option, and for some reason Nova Launcher isn't allowing me to make my status bar transparent like it used to. Not a big deal though.

I have a few questions but first, the Moto X is selling better than I thought. I push it hard though, the thing that is killing it is the $199 price tag, if they brought it down to $149 or $99(like I think theya re doing soon) it would be flying off the shelves. The issue with the moto X is when people realize they are going to be putting out $200 for a phone(w/ a contract). They tend to go for the Galaxy or sometimes even the Iphone...however if they don't like the Moto X(we even have a nice display that shows all the color options, and I stress it's put together in the USA, but if they don't like the Moto X I usually take them to the LG G2 which honestly is probably the best Android phone that is currently out. That is as stock as well. The back button placement once you get used to it i genius after you get used to it it makes perfect sense. The battery life is incredible and it is unbelievably fast stock out of the box. Only thing holding me back from getting one is the locked bootloader and the imminent release of the Nexus 5.

One few things about the latest release of kangbean.

-Battery Graph still FC's when trying to view it after a few hours of being off the charger. I know for sure i can view it within the first 2 hours of so being off the charger but around 5-8 offers it stills.

I know I requested CC + BM3(the circle battery with white tex), if there anyway you could make a HD version of the CyangogenMod's Blue Cirrcle Battery with Blue text?

Also, is there anyway for you to enable the Dark AOKP funtion? Or at least, would it hurt to install Task65's GAPP's that include dark colored google app's like calendar, gmail, full dark mode texts

When I say "stock ROM", it might be misleading. I consider Google Edition 4.3 to be a "stock ROM" because, well IMO it is. It's just not a stock AT&T ROM. But it does use TouchWiz framework.

I am definitely running Kangabean.

There is an Xposed mod for transparent status bar options. There is even one that lets you change the status bar background color, depending on what app is open at the time.

Guys, which Faux kernel do I flash? I'm on Ktoonz right now but the screen not waking up during phone calls is just killing me. I checked the Faux unified thread it's a mess out there to figure out which one to use. I'm on the latest 3.1 Kangbean
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
I'd basically like to be able to customize quick tiles but it's not a big deal as I just swipe up on one of my dock icons to bring up a folder that has my quick settings in it easily accessible & hidden. Other than that I don't really care for other mods ATM. I would like to see Beat's added, as I can tell the difference with Beat's enabled(When I used on Omega). Other than that I'm about to get really good battery life, I'm running ktoonez's kernel using his settings from the 3rd post in his thread and these are my following results(without pics, believe if you want, I don't care)

Time since last charge to 100%: 24.5hr's

Screen: 3h 0m 47s used %50 of 89%

Voice Calls: 1h 6m 28s %12 of %89

%11 left I think I could easily get 3h 30m.

Not bad, weirdly not as good as GoldenEye as far as idle drain goes(Keeping google location enabled in GoldenEye & enabling Google Now doesn't hurt battery on GoldenEye as much as it does on Kangabean). Unless something about 4.3 using more battery. However once I disabled Google Location stopped allowing apps from the Play Store to using my location I noticed a huge improvement in battery drain and now I seem to be getting the same if not better battery life.

My battery graph still FC's after so many hours on battery. I can view it at least up to 1 hour, sometime after that it starts force closing.

People like you should not be allowed on the site. You break all the rules by not reading the OP, you failed to search if others were having issues with ktoonez's kernel, then to make it worse you claim no one should use his AWESOME kernel because you're an idiot. Go back to the general section, or better yet stay off these forums.

I did check the op I must of over seen the part where it said I HAD to use a TW version of the kernel, instead of the AOSP version? Does that make me an idiot? A simple mistake? I'll just look past all of your alls mean remarks and get on with my life. Because you aren't gonna hurt my feelings, sorry to let you know that. Also I'm sorry to the OP, I didn't exactly mean for a huge disagreement on my accidental warning. I myself thought I was helping by letting everyone know my mistake, so no one had that problem.

The whole problem with your original post is that instead posting your experience and issue, or just search for ktoonez in this thread, which you would have gotten your answer very quickly, as I'm sure that is what everyone who reads your post assumes you did anyway. You instead very boldly posted false information about an amazing kernel which some who fail to read(like yourself) will take seriously.

I understand how you could have made the mistake, and I apologize for coming off so harshly. It didn't have so much to do with you, as it did with the fact that there are so many people who fail to read the original post or research.

Once you do that install the framework. Next go to download, scroll down and select gravitybox and install that now go back to xposed mod and go to modules and check gravity box. Now go back to gravity box go to status bar and make your changes. It has both center clock and cyanogen mod, battery mod. I'll show you pictures.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] trunzoc:
If it had to choose a "all in one" xposed mod for this ROM, I would definitely suggest GravityBox over Nottach. Nottach hasn't been supported for months and a large portion of the mods won't work on this ROM. It's designed for a true TW ROM, not an AOSP rom running on TW framework like GE.

GravityBox has a very active and attentive dev and all of the features work.

It does have the cyanogen battery that was requested.

[MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION] I just moved from MDOB build because this ROM is so close a naked experience, but one thing I miss is the AT&T LTE icon, is there a way to make a flashable to get those? or an easy way to get them? Overall this ROM is smooth and fast. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] McKayCR:
DLNA

First off, iB4STiD you are awesome. I have been following this rom ever since I I got my S4. I started with Slim bean but quickly moved to this one and I have been hooked ever since.

Seriously, great job, keep it up

On another note, is there a way for me to get the DLNA feature added back as sort of a built in feature? I'm assuming it was a samsung TW feature, but I use it to send video or pictures to my TV a lot. I know I can download stuff from the market but I don't like loading a bunch of apps if I can help it. I enabled the wireless display thing in the settings, but if I read correctly, I need a dongle for the TV in order for that to work.

Again, awesome work. I will be sticking with this rom for a while.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
Buy a $35 chromecast. It will allow you to do more than DLNA. The feature you're interested in is a touchwiz feature.

As for the recommended gravity box, I'll check it out.

If you created a nandroid backup when you had MDOB running then you can use recovery to restore that rom as well. Same process you just did to get KB working again. It is not uncommon for us to have multiple rom nandroids made and switch back and forth between them by restoring them through recovery. Keep in mind that MDOB and KB are for 4.2 and 4.3 exclusively and if you try to restore data using say Titanium backup from MDOB to KB it will cause issues most likely.
