Did anyone else see the article (Android Headlines) rating this ROM the #1 custom ROM for the S4? I wasn't sure if posting the link was a no-no. More proof this ROM rocks! :D

One question....

How the heck do you chose which ROM to stick with. Between GoldenEye MDOB and this one and all the awesome updates I don't think I let my phone rest for more than 24hours. About to switch to this back tomorrow [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION]

And its not for the issues because there are none... Its sheer flashaholik desire reborn.

MF3 flash

Sorry for being a lazy a**, I know I can read and find out but I can't stand TW for a minute and want to flash this ROM like...now :)...please help!

Just bought an at&t version and it comes with MF3 build.

I briefly followed the forums and came to conclusion:

1. Root the phone by SD card method : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2387577

2. Install recovery (Is TWRP the best?)

3. Use ODIN to flash AMDL after factory wipe in recovery http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42070218&postcount=164

4. Root AMDL and install recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2297900

6. Flash KANGBEAN

Am I thinking right? If not can anyone please guide me? Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
Sorry you're SOL

Your only option is to root and thats it for now. There is an up and coming method being deployed SS but it requires some stuff in the ROM as well as stock kernel which neither are available on this ROM. You b stuck for now with MF3

That and you should ALWAYS read before you do anything on XDA. Just my humble suggestion. Don't listen and don't ask anyone to spoon feed you steps unless you know exactly what to do, you can't go back to those who gave you bad advise and bricked you're phone dead. Just my 2cents.

There is a new procedure using the safestrap program that a dev just posted. Go to the ATT galaxy S4 original android development forum. It doesnt actually unlock the bootloader but much like loki doki it bypasses it through other means . Its pretty cool that hes come up with this for users in your position.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
well , look at that :p... that was nice of those guys :good:

if u clean installed and cant get wifi to work with the default kernel which is *faux's 11m* then something went wrong with ur install, check md5 of the zip...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mrnovanova:
IB4STiD you really need an F.A.Q. People keep asking the same questions and doing the same mistakes like installing twrp with goo manager when you clearly have a link that says read this before you install. A clear FAQ section up top would do the trick I think. Just saying.

DAMN! Nice to see this work of Android perfection get the recognition it deserves.

Been playing with Xposed for the last 24 hours, which has filled in every possible feature that i was missing from more customizable builds like Carbon.

This ROM is fast/stable to the extent i dont even really care to flash anything else...

Takes daily driver to a new level.

Just noticed this last night though, wifi hotspot does not appear to work? Is that just me? Someone mentioned it back on page 96, but dont think anyone responded...

**edit** add ",dun" to the APN type in your lte apn settings, and delete the "tethering apn" (on rogers phones) that is not selected, this enables wifi tethering. For anyone having issue.

Just figured this info should be "re-mentioned"

A FAQ won't do ****.

The same people that don't look at the THIRD post in the thread even though it's linked to and mentioned in the instructions several times, are not going to read a FAQ. It's not like this is a groundbreaking concept. Pretty much every dev thread on all of XDA has the fist 4 or 5 posts claimed by the OP for info like that.

...Ignored.

...ignored

...ignored

I, for one, would prefer that our wonderful amazing dev concentrate on getting healthy rather than catering to the needs of lazy people that don't read, let alone do basic searches.

I'm touchy about this at the moment because Joaomgcd's Tasker Plugin G+ community has been so completely overrun by people that shouldn't be allowed to own smartphones, let alone root them.

It's a community for specific apps and almost every post is totally unrelated to his apps, but tasker in general, and even "How do I root my phone so I can use this".

I'm < > that close to actually leaving the community because I want to help people with relevant stuff, not babysit them them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mrnovanova:
Hahahaha I hear you bro. I'm just saying that when somebody asks a question that has been asked 20 times we can just reply "FAQ buddy" I would be as much a service to them asking as it would be to us not having to answer... again. You actually had to go and copy those quotes it would be easier to answer "FAQ". You're right about the people not reading them but we can politely direct them to it instead of answering the same question for the 20th time, know what I mean?

I remember when Paranoid Android first started getting BIG, was on the Note 1 at the time....

But, ya end up right back as soon as ya get a new phone or tab lol.

Its easier to ignore then stress. But honestly this thread is REALLY good in comparison to some. Ive never seen a mod edit in here, which i find impressive.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sky_fox:
This is so TRUE. I just read a post above that was for paragraphs on how installing kangabean left someone with a 9505 build.prop. First off kngabean would leave you with a 9505G , build.prop. Not to mention guys IB4STiD has explained and went over in detail in MANY MANY MANY times that this room will change build prop. Please guys if you're going to use the man's work at least read his dang OP AND AND!!!! LOL THE F.A.Q. He has spent tone on these things so that we don't gave to keep asking "why did too manager blow my phone up ?" Come on guys . If you install ANY ROM , ANY , READ EVRYTHING. READ IT TWICE. [MENTION=4152022]mrnovanova[/MENTION] is trying to help you and so is the Dev . just follow instructions and you will have no WiFi issues, no bootloader issues , no service issues, nothing unless you didn't read correctly. This is my go to rom . ALWAYS. HE is top notch Dev. Believe that.

Speaking of build.props...

[MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION], now that Google Wallet seems to be working fine on AT&T, are you considering changing over the build.prop, or going to leave it as it is?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MaxCarnage:
How much time do you actually spend here? XDA has become inundated with ignorant users who post needless questions over and over again ad nauseum, and if you dare point out that their question has been answered in multiple posts across multiple threads and that they should try using the search function rather than mindlessly posting ignorant questions they get indignant and a few longtime members/enablers will jump to their defense because they mistake behavioral corrections for bullying.

*deep breath*

You could post the answer to the meaning of life in the first post of the thread and, inevitably, ten posters will ask what that answer is by page ten.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] trunzoc:
I've used both. My opinion is that faux has better battery life. Just my opinion though :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Sean09:
I've found the same thing. More stable too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spunjah413:
Not me. Once you configure KT with his governor, tweak screen off settings, and lower voltages...its easily the best kernel for battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] suchevent:
KT kernel has the capability and the potential to be the better kernel in relation to battery life but it is also more susceptible to human error because of its customizability. in the right hands, KT kernel is better imo.

I know that I can search the KT thread to find this answer, but honestly, I think it relates more specifically to this ROM...

Can you provide your settings for KT? I know about basic overclocking and whatnot, have have never cared enough to worry abut the voltage settings. I'd rather get settings from people using Kangabean specifically, than from people on a whole slew of different ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] frostrambler:
Just updated to the newest version from 2.9. I've been bad and just installed the new zip over the old one, if the phone became unstable, Id wipe and do a clean install. All seems fine now.

Question though: I'm using the new Philz CWM thats recommended, I got rid of TWRP since it was too buggy. TWRP though let me wipe any partition separately, so even if I was doing a dirty update, I would still at least wipe cache, dalvik, system, pretty much everything but /DATA. Used to work fine.

This time in Philz CWM, there is no separate wipe function, it only lets me wipe user data, or all data for a ROM upgrade. I found an individualized format option, but IB4STiD states in his instructions to never format system, because I guess that will mess it up? I assume wipe is delete, format is format. So I didn't choose that option and did a really dirty install, flashing the new zip without even wiping /system like I often do. Will this cause me more issues? Seems stable so far.

Also, I can't find Fix permissions anywhere in the new Philz CWM, I remember always fixing permissions as per your old instructions. Is that no longer needed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
You can go to mounts where you can format different options, also with philz you can format internal data with out issues, only thing I found with philz if you restore a nandroid backup, after your done wipe cache otherwise boot takes a long time !

Video woes

Spent the weekend evaluating custom ROMs, having used GoldenEye for quite some time (kernel issues), I thought I would take a walk on the wild side and try out Kangabean.

Long story short, I loved Kangabean, very fast, nearly perfect ROM -- the only problem was I really missed Sammy's TW camera. As far as I know, neither the stock camera app nor Focal nor any replacement I found was able to turn off auto-focus while in video mode. This is a must-have feature for me. (One tap in video mode with Sammy's camera app)

Two questions:

1. I saw some traffic a while back about attempts to port the Samsung camera app to the Google Edition, but it seemed buggy at the time, and I haven't heard anything about it lately. Has anyone had success in this area?

2. Are there any video camera apps on Google Play that allow you to turn off Auto-Focus? Without this feature, I find that the SGS4 camera constantly adjusts focus trying to stay fixed on moving actors on stage, like during a play for example, where characters move in and out of field, both near the edge of the stage and then back towards the curtain. It results in a video that's very disorienting to watch.

(So reluctantly, I ended up on MDOB, with stock kernel.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] doe or die:
I don't know if this is a bug with the ROM or if my phone is just messed up, but the following bothers the hell out of me.

Whenever I'm on a phone call and I'm ready to hang up, I pull the phone away from my ear or push the power button to turn my screen on and end the call, and it doesn't turn on. This is especially annoying when calling someone who doesn't answer, thus going to their voicemail, because I can't end the call, so it just leaves them blank voicemail. The phone is on, but the screen won't turn back on. I have to pull the battery and turn my phone back on every time this happens. Anyone have a solution?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
What version are you on and what kernel are you using ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] trunzoc:
I don't get this. Seems like with GE using TW framework (It has too or SView won't work) it shouldn't be that crazy to get the camera working.

The only other thing I miss from a TW ROM is the keyboard. Samsung actually has a keyboard I consider perfect. I use Swiftkey now, but only because the sammy keyboard isn't on here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] doe or die:
I'm on version 3.1 and the kernel says 3.4.0-faux123.

Any help at all would be appreciated. Doesn't sound like it would be much of an issue, but it's super frustrating when I'm trying to hang up on a call and can't, so I have to pull the battery lol
