Hey iB,

I'm running 2.05 (havent found a need to update as its already stable)

I noticed the semi-transparent bar got added as an add-on.

Is it safe to flash it on 2.05? Or shud I be updating to the newest build?

Thanks!

Just downloaded and installed 2.4 All working well but when I long press the home button I get Google Now. I am used to get the open apps. Any Ideas. The only thing I did different this time was I added the home button lagfix addon. Could that be it? Otherwise the Rom is working great.

Sup y'all? First of all thanks to iB4STiD for this sweet assed rom and I'll keep the donations coming because I truly believe that you are a gem of a dev. Secondly I just wanted to say that for those of you who use s-view there is a pretty sweet app out there that allows us to use s-view to control our music player when used conjointly with xposed framework. I tested it it and can confirm it works.

Enjoy...

Yes you definitely should. Almost every thread I've read explains how bad 2.6.x.x. /versions are. I've read as far as it even erasing people file systems while waiting it top flash a ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] trunzoc:
The only issue I ever saw with TWRP 2.6.x.x was hanging on boot. It just sits at the teamwin banner and never moves. You have to force a reboot and try again... and again... and again...

There are some decent changes in 2.6.x.x but not worth it because of the hangs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

iB4STiD, I gotta tell ya, you are damned near the best dev I've seen in a LONG time. I previously had only HTC devices and NewToRoot was equal caliber, but he disappeared and no one near as well rounded replaced him. When I got the S4 and was searching ROM candidates, I noticed how often you respond, how nicely you respond, how quickly your respond, and how little flaming there is in your threads.

So thanks! Not only for these great, stable, fast ROMs, but also for fostering a clean, respectful forum experience.

It's a nice change to be able to comment in a thread and not have 20 people jump on your because you asked a question that was already answered 100 pages, and 17 versions, back.

Now for the dumb question I know has been answered, but totally confuses me...

I'm using this ROM obviously, but I guy I work with and jealous and also wants to run it. Problem is he is MF3. I've read every thread i could find but I'm still confused about this.

Can I just flash the stock images, through Odin, that were linked in the OP (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42070218&postcount=164)? I thought I saw something in a few threads that said you CAN'T flash older firmware without blowing up the phone.

Can someone possibly link a thread that DOES say how to go from stock MF3 back to MDB or MDL?

***EDIT***

nevermind. Just got confirmation in the Motochopper thread that you can NOT go backwards. Oh well. No GE for him

[MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION] this new update feels even more responsive. I took your advice and I'm trying out faux, which is the first time EVER using a kernel other than kt , or Adam .

I will not be going back to a touchwiz ROM again for a long time. And I will always love kt kernel but this is nice with faux. Is there any way to task faux kernel ?

Is there any chance at all that anyone knows how to access the ext sd card in anyway? I keep running out of memory.

I can't even get into recovery at all. Have to boot in safe mode. I have tried much too long. Do not like the new file system. Why system /0, sdcard, and an extsd card that doesn't seem to exist? Even the phone doesn't know what to do with the files

---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

Will this phone or rom not read a 32gb card or what? No one has answered this in over 2 months. Data seems to go where it wants. And is split everywhere. Why can't I go into recovery.

Btw, been doing this for 10 years. Not a noob. Even takes twice as long for a text. Kb doesn't know where to look.

Is there another rom I could try? 2 months is too long
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] stangman:
Not sure where you are going here. The files just don't go wherever they want. Apps install to internal SD card, there are some apps out there to move to the Ext card. You can use a file manager to move other files, pictures, videos, etc to the Ext card.

Not only does this ROM read and write a 32GB Ext card, but also a 64GB Ext card. I have used both with no issues. Have you done a clean install?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
u skipped right over my reply to ur issue.. any google edition rom will work the same way.. any aosp rom will work the same way ..

Since I just went through a small Google odyssey to do this, I thought I would share what I just did to enable the Android soft keys and disable the capacitive/hardware buttons on the S4 with Kangabean. If you want to do the same, you will complete the following steps:

(WARNING: Modifying some of the files listed below could break your phone and I take no responsibility for that; do a backup before you proceed and make these changes at your own risk)

To enable the software navigation keys:

- In a root-capable file browser go to /system and open the build.prop file with a text editor

- Scroll to the bottom and add this line (the comment field is optional; I put it there for myself):

You may find that the navigation keys make the stock-sized icons too big for the screen; I changed the LCD Density on my phone to 440 to compensate and liked it much better. To do this, find the following line in build.prop

and change it as you see fit. The lower the number the smaller the icons and stuff. I find 440 to be about right personally.

- Save your changes to build.prop then reboot your phone.

To disable the capacitive and hardware keys:

- In a root-capable file browser, go to /system/usr/keylayout and there are two files that you're looking for:

- Open Generic.kl and comment out (add a # in front of) the following lines:

- Save changes and go back to /system/usr/keylayout

- Open gpio-keys.kl and comment out the following line:

- Save changes and reboot your phone; your home button and capacitive keys are now disabled!

To disable the capactive key backlights:

- Enable Unknown Sources in Settings > Security

- Download the following App: GES4 Light Control

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43256528

- Don't forget to thank the developer in his post!

- Run the app and set the capactive button lights to "off"

That's it! You should have a more Nexus-y GS4, courtesy of iB4STiD and others.

What kind of response exactly are you looking for?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] stangman:
I would suggest that you go back to the original ROM then. This is a development thread, there are no guarantees, phones can be different. If you are relying on a device to this extent, don't experiment with development ROM's. That being said, it works great for me and others as per the many posts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ricosuave1313:
My sentiment exact. If you use your phone to work then do not mess with it!!! Stay with the stock ROM until you can afford another laptop or phone to play with. IB has been kind enough to provide us with alternatives ie. Custom, awesome Roms... Quit wasting his and our time with your whining. Read the first post!!! Not responsible... Proceed at your own risk.. A risk which you obviously were not ready to take. Odin back to stock. Nuff said!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] trunzoc:
DO NOT DO THAT!!

If you are running this ROM, installing the GOO standard recovery will probably screw you up even more, if that is not already why you can't get into recovery. Goo thinks this ROM is running on a 9505, not an I337, so installs the wrong recovery image.

Yeah. I did too. Installed this ROM, then flash a new version of TWRP through Goo. Took me a while to find the right instructions to fix it. lol.

I tired it with my build prop and it wasn't easy. The link I posted is a pretty fail-safe way. ROMManager obviously leaves you with a version of CWM Recovery, but I linked a file to flash that gets TWRP on it. I think the link I put there was for TWRP which I would NOT recommend.
