Just a heads up to anyone here who uses TWRP.

At some point when switching from MDOB to KANGABEAN, I did not notice that the phone model in KANGABEAN is I9505 in the build.prop. (You can see in the About section in settings.

I guess thats because the phones are very similar so there is no specific ATT I337 version needed.

HOWEVER, if you use GooManager like I did, and decide to update TWRP to 2.6.1.0 (which just came out) or 2.6.0.0, you should know that GooManager will read your buildprop and download the wrong TWRP (non-loki version) and your recovery will stop working.

I learned that the hard way and spent an hour figuring out how to boot past that screen, change the build prop to the right prop model,name, etc, get the proper TWRP, etc.

Just a heads up to anyone that wants to update TWRP like I did, go to the TWRP thread and read the last 5 pages, I'm not the only one that made this mistake.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
yes, i could make a add-on for an att buildprop .. I never run into to this due to the fact i manually instal a custom recovery thro adb or make a flashable zip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jnewell05:
Only issue I have is my only game Simpsons tapped out isn't working. Loads and downloads just fine but when launching spring field no luck. Tried flashing kernels and nothing. Anyone know of a fix?

Edit: I think that ea is slow at updating and its not compatable with android 4.3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sky_fox:
How in the heck can we turn a .img to a zip? I want to just look it up, but that's something that potentially ruin someone's device. I would be forever grateful if you could make us a twrp .zip or cwm-touch .zip I haven't seen one ANYWHERE!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] RiNo808:
What kernel do all of you recommend kt or faux?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] custo:
I always use KT and never have any issues
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
Interestingly, both popular CWM recoveries are offered in a flashable zip, but I did not see one for TWRP. They offer either Goo Manager or ADB.

I'm sure someone could make a zip though.

I've never seen a lokid cwm touch zip . They are all .img those are only to be used through Odin.

Btw this isn't the latest clock work mod . This is a custom recovery based on cwm that auto Loki's the kernels being flashed . I don't want shabbys cwm based , I want an official cwm touch .zip that I can flash straight through my current recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mKTank:
iB4STiD, I have tried practically every other ROM there is for this phone and I gotta say, by far this is the most stable, fastest ROM out for the S4. Great work on it and I am completely satisfied with practically all aspects of it.

Tiny thing though: you mentioned a while back that you might theme the whole Messaging apk for the dark theme instead of just quick reply. If you do, my life will be complete and I will be forever grateful. :p I believe BeanStalk has a dark theme for their SMS apk.

One other little bug: when you press the power button to lock the phone, if you brush your finger over the capacitive buttons within a second of the screen turning off, it turns back on. Figured this out the hard way with a few pocket dials. :p

FML,

Can anyone help?

Have been running this for a few weeks and it is awesome.

Had to re-flash and wipe/factory reset through TWRP, then......flashed Kernel BEFORE the 4.3 ROM, FML.

Tried to flash kernel second, tried a restore from backup, tired to reflash ROM then Kernel and always the phone now continually reboots and stalls at S4 splash screen.

I can manually boot into TWRP but and unsure about how to clean up whatever mess is on there and re-flash ROM.

I have the kernel and ROM (and backup) saved on the root storage, and also the external SD card!

Thanks any help would be appreciated!

Odin back to stock. Re root. Re flash recovery and then do not format system. Only wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] supermartin73:
Thank you!

I re-read a bunch of your post and I guess using TWRP to erase all user data was a mistake.

In the process of ODIN and will update.

Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jnewell05:
Just take a flashable zip for any recovery here on the forums, delete their recovery.img file, and put your recovery.img file in it. Make sure not to unzip. Use 7zip or windows explorer to copy and delete. And retain the original recovery.img name.

I do it all the time for cwm touch and twrp, u can download latest from their websites for free.

If your feeling lucky you can change the updater-script to read something different then the original while its flashing. Modify this with notepad++ only. Using word , works, wordpad, or other document editors cause it to corrupt and thus will not flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] supermartin73:
Ok, Flashed stock through ODIN. Got a PASS and all threads completed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mKTank:
I THINK Goldeneye might be a tiny bit better with battery life but it could be just me using my phone more because this ROM kicks ass.

But most realistically it's about the same probably. Running this ROM with KT.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rfb813:
I am using Goldeneye as my daily driver now and loving it but on occasion I switch over to Kangabean. I have installed Kangabean 1.5 with the stock kernel. Am I correct that if I change the kernel to the faux Kernel I will be the same a 2.2, or do I have to reflash and install the 2.2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
no, 2.2 is a bit different, i would flash 2.2 setup device, then boot into recovery then flash faux, wipe cache/davlik, then fix permissions under advanced!

Man , [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION]

I love the kangabean it just feels like the battery life is so much worse than on GoldenEye. I don't know if its because GoldenEye has me spoiled or what haha. Idk. I'm using it settings with his latest updated. Ive never flashed autism kernel on my i337 but I'm kinda worried because I want to keep this rom so bad but I also have to get better battery life . :(

I'm just having a feeling it won't be on par with GoldenEye. Will audism really work that much better. Dude this rom is amazing . This is the single rom that would make all these moto x crap talkers see the reap speed of the s4 hardware. I love it just trying to figure out more battery life. Does this look on par or about the same as Golden would get?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sky_fox:
So , I was just thinking about something ... Would KB 4.2 get a lot better battery life huh? Im having a reeling it will because I don't remember ever having such a short battery . One time I had this rom at 1 day 14 hours 38 mins. But that may have been 4.2 KB. I can't remember.

---------- Post added at 04:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 AM ----------

Goldeneye lasted closer to 4 more hours than this rom did for me . I LOVE THIS ROM but I didn't even break 10 hours barely with 4 hrs. On screen. Goldeneye got me around 16 hours with 5 on screen. Is the kernel he installs with the flash better for this ROM??

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
Well NO you didn't ask what kernel. You compared an aosp ROM with some TW framework (with 4.3 even less than 4.2) and a full fledge TW ROM. So before you you get attitude and write in capital letters you ARE comparing apples and oranges.

With a little t tweaking I have got this rom lasting crazy amounts of time . I turned off a few app and disabled a few as well just through the system . it was very simple to do and didn't take any exterior apps. I just went to manage apps and and disabled some that I will list:

Google chrome : force stop then disable it.

Gmail: just disable notifications.

Google play services: disable

And a few more do some experimenting .You'll figure it out.

Once you figure out this combination you will get closer to awesome battery life.

So are you getting better battery with faux ? I've never used any kernel aside from stock and kt and I really want to but I just have been worried and heard rumors of hot devices and bad battery life reading up on SOME of faux's thread. Is the kernel running great on your device ? I have a feeling faux night do more justice than the kt Kernel will. Hey isn't the faux kernel you're using based on the Google edition stock rom? I was wondering about that. Can I flash a GPE (that says stock Google edition kernel) rom from 9505 threads to my device , as long as I lokidoki flash after installing that rom with the built in GPE kernel. I ask because [MENTION=3802385]TheAxman[/MENTION] and I were talking about it and he was kind enough to test on his device and he tested kt 9505 ,T-Mobile (can't remember what kernel , and a few others .

Looks like it runs on 900/1800. My 4S used it fine on EDGE when I was here last November. phonescoop lists the I337 as being compatible with all 4 of the GSM frequencies. Strange. I may just try a different SIM or be stuck with the Nokia 1661 for a month lol. It doesnt pick up a signal, it only says Emergency Calls Only, but when you go to Settings>More>Mobile Networks>APN> it shows a list of the China Mobile APNs and also shows China Mobile under the Network Operators. I'll take the SIM back tonight or try a different GSM provider...China Unicom maybe.

Try another version of GPE there like 6 really good ones. You could try another one or another kernel. If you disable the Google services like I was telling you I got over 26 hours without any battery or anything. It was insane battery after that. Try it.

Or try 4.2 . GPE4.2 gets better battery than GPE4.3 AND TOUCHWIZ . Test it you'll probably like it better. The camera isn't really a deal breaker for me since to me the ROM is the thing I use the most so I figure speed and net speed is more important than a camera that I use SOMETIMES. Lol.
