thanks man very nice of you to say!! ya i noticed the camera improvements to, at first i thought it was just me. and i sleep, sometimes sometimes eat too lol :p ... just watched your video that zoom could come in handy ;)

its a bug in 4.2 and i just checked in 4.3 lol... its a little bug tho, believe me it could be much worse.. samsung will get it right in time!! btw

why dont u do this.. make a nandroid backup of 4.2, flash 4.3 and try it if you dont like it, wipe and restore :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
you need an app for that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
Are you saying it's still a bug in 4.3? Yeah it isn't a big issue, funny thing is it works sometimes, usually immediately after a reboot. Or maybe it was only right after I flashed the ROM.

Anyway reason I haven't tried 4.3 is because I don't really see any reason to switch to 4.3 at the moment. I haven't seen a change log of 4.3 and your 4.2.2 ROM is running too well, haven't had an issue with Google services in a while either.

Another question I have is regarding busybox. I had to install busybox from the play store, then install the binaries manually. Is that normal? I think usually the rom's say busybox is already installed...I'm just assuming it isn't on this ROM.

you are right. its the Navigation icon.

You can always go for a Nexus 6 The carrier branding is more or less cosmetic. I had my one from AT&T Rooted and a custom ROM on with in the first hour. I had the AT&T boot logo removed later in the same day by simply deleting a folder. Very nice phone but I do have to admit the Note 4 does have a better camera but I assume you have to safe strap unless its an international version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
i use tmobile now so my note 4 has an unlocked bootloader, thats why i left att, i was with them for years but, i was also a iphone user for years and didnt see a problem with the s3 as far as being able to unlock the bootlader, then came the s4 and we needed the loki patch, that was it for me..

i would have bought the nexus 6, but i was not about to pay that much outright.. if i could do it all again i would have kept my nexus 5 as a second device, but i had to make a choice, get rid of the s4 or keep the nexus, i chose the s4 because i didnt want to let you guys down

now am i really all that needed? no.. lots of great devs here for the s4, but ya.. ill be honest and this sound nuts, but i will probably get a moto e or g as a second device.. that is unless there is some wacky security thing i have to deal with to make roms, and if thats the case the search continues, i even have been looking for a new nexus 5, but that isnt working out

Boots in the recovery every-time

Hi,

I was on GFv4 or v5 and then tried this ROM today. Exactly followed how to install guide.

1. factory reset

2. wipe the partitions listed.

3. installed rom

But now every time it boots in system mode then reboots and then boots in recovery mode.

Tried with KP2.4 and then realized we've KP2.5 so tried installing that but same result.

Tried restoring from the back but same! Please help.

Encryption forever?

After installing this ROM put up the device encryption. Tried first time in life, so not sure how long it should take. But based on online research it will take 20 mins to couple of hours. I am sitting on the third hour and seeing boot animation since it started. Cause of worry? Anybody?

Device is plugged in to charger.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
not sure about that man, u might have to google that

if not using the stock kernel u may have issues, and to be honest u may have issues regardless. i have not looked into that or attempted it but its seems on custom roms with tw people had issues, forgot what or if there was a workaround
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
an idea ..

im thinking about making a kangapack addon which is aroma based, and have the baee of the rom be just a flashable zip.. so heres the idea

1. mods, gapps, theme, kernels etc will be in the kangapack - this way if i add something new, lets say a theme.. <- ? u can just update said pack

2. this saves u guys from having to reflash the rom, but instead just flash kangapop

if this sounds good let me know! if this sounds bad, let me know :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bleedos:
Good idea. This way I think it will be faster just to switch themes or kernel :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] raone26:
I think I already made a mess of it!! :mad:

Now not able to wipe/factory reset because twrp fails to mount /data and what not. And also it is stuck in bootloader loop!!

Odin back to stock?

Be careful if you're with AT&T to stay with MDL bootloader and not get past it because you'll lose the ability to use non-TouchWiz custom roms.

Search this thread or the stupid question thread to get information about it. If you don't find anything, let us know, we'll provide some links.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hakkalugi:
Depending on the version of S4 you have, you may be able to refresh your TWRP version via odin. Looking at TeamWin's site, it seems easy for i9505 (jfltexx) but not quite so for i337 (jflteatt).

Otherwise I think [MENTION=5161331]Bleedos[/MENTION] is right, odin back to stock paying extra attention not to go beyond MDL.

This is progress, this last version of the Lolipop series has made my s4 faster, better at battery performance and overall feel like a once again brand new phone, so I applaud your suggestion for making just updates that don't make me completely start fresh everytime(since most of the time I dirty-flash anyway, but don't let the chef know that, lol)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] raone26:
Is there anywhere links where I can get old stock ROM? beyond MDL? I am not 100% which bootloader I've right now and don't know how to check it in twrp (cannot boot to rom), But I am assuming since I can load non-stock (i.e., this ROM) I've old bootloader. I bought this phone in the first slot of release (May-2013), so again assuming I've old one (beyond MDL) as I never did OTA update. And yes I've SGH-I337.

Going to try odin tonight, if anyone can help me with old stock rom. I've old stock rom nandroid back up btw, but since twrp is unable to mount /data due to encryption, not sure how much it will be helpful.

I am really in a big mess for sure! Fingers crossed!! And really thanks to the forum members, only here I can get quick-true help needed!

Your best bet would be to use the flashable zip posted for download in the Addons section. The last time I used that TWRP app it soft bricked my phone and was a pain to get fixed. That was the last straw for me with that app. It never would work right for me for much of anything anyway.

The call letters go in order, meaning MDB preceded MDL.

The important thing to remember is that the MDL bootloader is the last of the Loki exploitable bootloaders. Everything after that you're only option is to use safestrap & safestrap supported ROMs.

I'm personally on MDL and believe you should be okay to go to MDL. But that said, where did you read the "Don't use this guide..." Scary msg?

Edit: does anyone know if the sammobile MDL firmware downloads got updated somehow/sometime to remove the Loki exploit capability?

Hey all,

It's been a while since I've had a reason to visit this thread due to passing down the S4 when I upgraded to the Note 4... however, I'm back because something is puzzling me:

I am currently needing to downgrade the S4 to an earlier baseband and ROM so I can sim (or region?) unlock the phone. So I started looking at the various versions of software components installed on the phone.

Baseband 1337UCUFNC1

KANGAKAT 8 BY iB4STiD KTU84P

Phil's CWM Recovery 6.0.4 (auto loki if I remember correctly)

So here's where something doesn't make sense. How is it possible to have a custom recovery with NC1 that isn't Safestrap? Everything I read says that's impossible.

I've come up with two possibilities:

1. CWM recovery is left over from previous install, but if I try to use it to flash something, I risk bricking the phone due to the locked bootloader.

2. I used the safe updates from iB4STiD and the locked bootloader was never written. (doesn't quite make sense as I don't think one can mask the Baseband version????!)

Before I go through the trouble of downgrading gradually to make this guide for the SIM unlock work http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/guaranteed-free-sim-unlock-mk2-nb1-nc1-t2852979 I was trying to figure out if it's possible to use the current CWM instead of Safestrap, or is scenario #1 above correct and I'd risk bricking my phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] guut13:
If you are in settings and looking at "baseband", that is telling you what modem you have installed. You can flash whatever modem you want.

To find out what bootloader you are running, use this guide... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51067793&postcount=4

You cannot downgrade your bootloader, but chances are that if you can successfully boot into CWM, you have the older bootloader installed.

With XPosed, every time I do a hard reboot, XPosed is not installed and requires a softreboot to get going.

How I understand it, Xposed requires SELinux to be permissive, but it is enforced by default, so XPosed changes that on the soft reboot.

I followed this thread (http://xdaforums.com/xposed/how-to-set-selinux-to-permissive-boot-t3034245) but it doesn't stop the need for a soft reboot and I can't find where SELInux is in "About Phone" to even verify it is changing anything.

Has anyone gotten Xposed to stick on a reboot without needing another soft reboot, and if so, how?

***************EDIT***************

I read more of the thread like I should have done originally.

Running this in term works...

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

mkdir /system/su.d

Could be a bad idea depending if you are running a custom rom and the buildprop is changed.

Flashify from play store + .img from the twrp website or search the twrp thread for a recovery flashable .zip are best ways.

Another alternative is to manually download the exact version of TWRP for your phone and use flashify to install it. Personally I've had the best results with flashify. But like everyone, your mileage may vary.
