file manager

Hi [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION]

may you add a file manager in the rom ? I have APKs I need to install but there is not a file manager after Kangakat instalation.

Maybe ES File Explorer.

Thanks!!

SergioMC
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] josemald:
Try Total Commander, it's free in the Google store and very easy to use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sergiomc22:
Thanks for the advise.

But in many cases, i don't have internet access, so i have to install the apk's manually. Without a file explorer i can't find them in the SD.

And without internet, can't access play store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
you can download apk's from the store.. from ur pc or mac .. theres a chrome extension or from any browser can do this actually

then u can do this ..

u need adb

adb install example.apk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sergiomc22:
Good idea...

I didnt know that there is terminal app in the rom. I will check the next time I install it.

Well, It was just a suggestion to include a file manager....

Greetings,

SergioMC22
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
thanks.. i havent included a terminal app.. u can use adb from ur pc or mac.. maybe next update ill add a file manager

Restore to stock firmware with Odin and installing kang kat did not work. I was however able to take my apn settings from Ge 38 and create a new apn to make lte work on kangkat. I am on Rogers in Canada and use the Rogers Lte apn. Good lte signal all day. Thanks

Tapatalked from California Custom Chrome M&M I337m
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Youngbloodx:
Damnit!! I spoke too soon. I just witnessed another dropped signal. This is the second one in 2 days. I guess I'll give the rom some more time to 'settle'. I don't wanna go back to crappy TW :mad:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Which kernel are you using ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Youngbloodx:
Stock google one. The first choice in auroma installer thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
If you flashed a stock Odin package of tw 4.4.2 last thing to try is use

Ktoonsez or googy max kernel

No Sim Card /Data Issues

Ive always only flashed KangaKat roms. I recently flashed the 4.4.4 version and suddenly started getting "no sim card" errors and my data has been poor, forcing me to constantly reboot my phone to see if Ive missed any messages.

I flashed stock I337MUMUFNE3 via Odin as suggested a few pages back, rooted, and flashed back to KK 4.4.4. The issue remained. I now flashed,via recovery, Mapleleaf VLFUFNE1.

Ive spent the last 2 days trying to read up on possible solutions ,but Ill be honest. It has become overwhelming trying to catch up to all the different variants of FW.

Heres my breakdown for anyone who might provide me a link to read. THANKS

ATT I337

Band : MDL

Currently on Mapleleaf VLFUFNE1 w/ GoogyMax Kernel 3.4.98

Ive read about NC1.. If Im on MDL, im assuming NC1 is a newer firmware??

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

Let me first start off by telling you this is my favorite ROM. I don't have any logs or anything, but I'm having a particular issue that keeps occurring. I'm using a 32GB ATT Device, on stock kernel, stock binaries, and using your KK ROM.

Basically, I'm having issues where texts/group messages stop being received, come in out of order, don't come at all, or take hours to come in. It's happened intermittently the last two weeks, and I've confirmed it isn't a service issue. Today after restarting my phone (before the restart, I had LTE [**it showed service]/wifi connected) a swarm of group messages came in.

I'm not sure if I'm describing the issue correctly, and again I apologize for not having a log of any kind. I'm running out of ideas on how to fix this, though. :crying:

Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.. it's making me consider the iPhone 6 :eek:

Thanks,

A
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
thanks man ..

have u restored call logs or sms from a tb backup or nandroid backup or restored any system data ? could be just a network hangup .. try to reboot ur device once a day :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] arforbes:
That must be it.. I restored my text messages from SMS Backup and Restore.

I'll reflash without restoring my texts and see if I still have problems.

Thanks [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION]!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] param.006:
I'm planning on getting a prepaid sim for my s4 and they told me the sim will only work for n certain variants of the s4 and they gave me 2 out of all the different model numbers for the s4 that are compatible. But now that I'm running kangakat (which I love by the way!), the about phone screen says my model number is gt-19505g. Will that be an issue since my phone is actually an sgh-1337 (AT&T variant).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mbonus:
Has more to do with whether or not your phone is SIM card unlocked. If you use an att prepaid card it won't be an issue either way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] param.006:
I have unlocked the phone and it has worked outside the country when I used it in India. But they don't have lte there. I want to make sure the lte will work if I was to get a Rogers or fido sim card. Because wind mobile told me my sgh-i337 won't work with them (is that true?)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mbonus:
Try it out and report back. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Lisendra:
Is it possible on kengakat to disable the Google search bar and add the stock dialer and calendar from the s4? (samsung dialer/S planer) ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Turbojugend:
SuperSu keeps asking permission even though I have it set to auto grant, any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
no, theres always a give n take with stock and tw ..

thats odd. no probs when i was using it .. go to chainfires page and d/l su and flash in recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Turbojugend:
That seemed to fix my issue, thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Lisendra:
I was guessing so, thanks you for your hard work, i am using for more than 6 month almost your GE rom, it's great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
anytime man! :good:

my pleasure!! im glad your enjoying it! and thank u for the feedback :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] RacerX1911:
Well I'm a huge goldeneye family but enjoy this Rom a lot... I still have the problem where we I call some one or someone calls me and put the phone to my ear (screen shuts of) then look at the screen... The screen stays off. Now it found a fix where if I double click the power button it unlocks but it gets kinda annoying. I personally think it's my phone not liking 4.4 because any other 4.2 Rom doesn't do this... Only the 4.4.4

Ahhh I love this Rom... Big thanks iB4STiD

B :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Turbojugend:
Finally finished setting this great rom up this afternoon, super fast and awesome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
thanks man and anytime!!.. what carrier are u on? and what kernel have u tried ?

thank u very much!! im glad ur enjoying it :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Turbojugend:
Something I noticed today. I plugged it in to charge and nothing happened. Powered off and it showed the battery charging, turned on and now it is charging, What could cause this? I think this has happened with other ROMs on my S4 before too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Depending on what kernel your using .. And what boot loader you have

Charging while off will turn your device on if using the stock kernel or faux kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] v941726:
Yeah. I've had that happen. I would pull the battery and pop it back in if you haven't already. And of course check your charger connection. Pulling the battery always worked for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Turbojugend:
I would like to be able to charge it normally, I am using Ktoonsez Kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
[MENTION=4325945]ktoonsez[/MENTION] will let u charge while off, whats ur carrier ? if tmobile of canadian 1337m .. u will need to update to a touchwiz 4.4.2 for ur carrier ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bleedos:
That's right. I can now charge while phone is off since I updated to NE1 (4.4.2) official stock ROM.

I did not stick to this :)

Went back to GPE ROM as fast as I could :)

Edit

I have the Canadian model. I337M
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Turbojugend:
It seems to charge ok today, so I'll leave it, but if it happens, I'll update for my carrier. I am using 1337m
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
sounds good :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Youngbloodx:
anyone having problems with IR blaster? I installed watchON and other universal remotes, but they don't seem to work. It used to work for older versions of this rom.

Edit: I've tried reinstalling with kt kernel but IR still doesn't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Milamber:
Is anyone getting random reboots?

I'm using stock kernel and the phone vibrates when the screen is on and im not touching it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
hmm, should be working with ktoonsez.. using his latest ?

use the kernel tool in post one n switch kernels
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bleedos:
Had RR problems with an other ROM similar to KANGAKAT but it went away after two weeks.

I bookmarked this thread to an Xposed module just in case it comes back:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2806046

Take time to read to make sure it's compatible with your setup. Make a backup before installing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Milamber:
Thanks, appreciate it. Could it be the dpi selection in Aroma installer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
anytime man!!... no that wouldnt effect that .. sometimes certain devices just dont like certain kernel .. also .. some profiles of some custom kernels can cause issues..

its a tricky thing .. just use the tool till u find the right kernel for u!!

here is the link to the kernel tool <- choose the google edition one!

flash above in ur custom recovery and choose ur kernel

keep me updated as to which one u like :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Milamber:
Thanks is Google Edition known as the directory "stock" or "Kernel" folder in the zip?

I've installed latest google kernel and that didnt work, so I installed FAUX kernel and when holding the phone and not even touching the screen its vibrating intermittently as well :(

I really want to use this ROM too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
heres the link

what carrier do u have?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Milamber:
My carrier is Telstra, Australian company.

I noticed the side volume buttons dont always work.

EDIT: I just did a quick install of CM and that worked, then i wiped and installed this ROM and problem has re-appeared. As phone boots up it also occasionally vibrates more than once.

UPDATE:

The vibrations seem to have stopped (no pun intended) but the volume option under settings>sounds causes system to crash, I reckon that the problem

UPDATE 2

After multiple reboots Settings>sounds doesn't work and causes a vibration. "unfortunately, settings has stopped". This is definitely the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] trunzoc:
Has anyone noticed any weirdness with their home button recently?

I'm not sure exactly what is causing it, but pressing home doesn't seem to always go back to the launcher. I tried disabling gravitybox and xposed in general, but it didn't help.

It definitely didn't happen pre-8.0, but I can't remember if 8.0 did it or not.

Anyone else seeing this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] VerminX:
Love the Rom!

Paired it with call recorder to have the one really needed feature from TW

It'd be nice to have TW calendar but it was mentioned that it's not possible.

I have a weird problem once in a while... The back button stops working. It lights up when touched but no back action... Until I reboot.

I'm on Canadian i337m with latest radio fne3 and ktoonsez 07-12 kernel

Undervolted -70 every step (although even with stock voltages the problem comes back)

Any ideas how I can troubleshoot it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
A nice alternative is activating on screen buttons. I disabled back and menu and keep the on screen buttons. I also kept Home button because I like it to turn the screen on.

To activate on screen buttons just add this to the bottom of build.prop:

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] webbie2:
Do you think kangakat will bring android l to the s4. I'm just asking even though I'm addicted to your s5 rom! It made me love tw again... Didn't think I'd ever say that out loud?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
something is wrong.. never had that issue with KK .. clean wipe ur device .. delete system data cache and dalvik, then flash my rom :good:

thanks man sounds like a kernel profile might be causing some hw issues.. try a different profile

now thats a compliment lol... thanks man if u never tried kk make a nadroid backup of GF and give it a shot :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] VerminX:
Thanks for the tip.

I for one dislike taking up screen space by on screen buttons .

I think the loss of the back button is caused somehow by the kernel. I found a way to reactivate its functionality by going into kernel preferences - charging - usb charging and just pressing ok... Viola the back button is... well back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
there ya go :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dcoulombe:
[MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION], I'm running this rom on my GS4 since the 1st day I received my phone. Never had to look for another ROM, as this one + xposed modules were a perfect combo for my needs.

Now that I received my shiny new OnePlus One, I will keep my GS4 as a backup phone for a few weeks then sell it.

Thanks for your hard work and I hope to use your work in the future !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
thank u very much kind sir.. very nice of !!! hold onto that s4 for a bit just case!! hope ur enjoy ur new device man!!. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MM13:
I decided to give this rom a try but i had to revert back to GF.

I was having the same problem as i initially had on GF with my data :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
ya btw did u ever update ur fw to official 4.4.2 ?? if not bad :p

ok i take that back then :) ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MM13:
Lol I'm always good [emoji56]

Do you think the changing of my h+ to 3g is because of the same thing in gf so something in the csc folder?

Sent from my SGH-I337M
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
well, being is good is a good thing right <- what am i typing? :p

i could make ya a flashable zip.. i dont think it will change anything but we could try .. send me a pm :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] toxicpaulution:
So I sold my s4 to a coworker. Installed this rom. But we are having issues. When he's in a call he cannot get the screen to turn back on until someone else hangs up the call. He's tried to press the power button, volume and even home button during the call but it doesn't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
wipe system, cache,dalvik, .. wipe/factory reset .. flash my rom.. .. you could also try another kernel by using the kernel tool in the faq section..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] toxicpaulution:
He's not tech savvy. There's nothing done to it except being completely stock for your rom. So you think it could be kernel related? The last thing he'd want to do is wipe is phone lol.

---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------

Also I don't think you remember me sir :p I know what I'm doing but I figured maybe someone else had a fix for it without having to reinstall it. Maybe an xposed or something? Lol. (I'm so glad I'm not on my s4 anymore lol)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
might be .. if i dont have the issue then he shouldnt either.. wiping ur device is never fun.. ever.. believe me know one knows more than me, but if you want to be trouble free. its the way to go .. :good:

edit

i remember u, which i was suprised you didnt let him know about what he *should* do .. i have owned most cellphones known to man, im happy i still have my s4. but hey thats just me ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] toxicpaulution:
Trust me I wiped the device when I got it back from my roommate, had to Odin back to stock and everything lol. So I flash your rom without issues. I'm going to see if I cannot find something with xposed to help :) I'm on the n5 and I got my roommate one as well so we said goodbye to those Samsung crappy phones lol :p I just don't want to cause him more issues is all. Plus I always have problems flashing things on the s4. And my roommate just informed me that he had the same.issue on another GE rom. Weirddddddd :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mbonus:
I know it's a stretch, but try to blow compressed air in the speaker grill. Could be a proximity sensor issue.

Hi guys, something weird is going on with my phone lately. Every time I try using an app that uses data to do a call (either Skype or Hangouts), the person on the other end of the line can't understand what I'm saying, it sounds like gurgling. This happens on multiple wifi networks or on mobile data. I have no problem in doing a regular voice call through the dialer. It's not a Skype problem because I can use it from my computer. It's like my phone is not "packing" the voice data correctly to send it over the Internet (I have no better words to describe it). I have an AT&T S4, with latest KK ROM. Today I updated the baseband, cleared cache and dalvik, and the problem is still there.

It is likely not a ROM problem, as I flashed the latest version as soon as it came out, and the problem is no older than a week, so apologies for cluttering the thread. I thought that maybe someone else here had encountered something similar and could give me a hint.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
try this :good:

1. take all media from ur sdcard place on pc

2. format sdcard with phone

3. place rom on ur sdcard

4. wipe system,cache,dalvik,data

5. flash my rom

6. reboot

now make a phone call n see what happens.. if that checks out .. restore only /data apps and there data ..

let me know how that goes

Hey iB did you disable the feature where plugging in headset resets the volume to like 70% ? If yes can you tell me how to add it back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] josemald:
Thanks, I guess that's the only option left. I tried flashing a different kernel and didn't do anything. I'll probably do it next Saturday, it takes me a few hours to reconfigure the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] activeservo:
I bought the s4 wireless charging OEM back cover and charging pad and I am running this rom and for some reason it slowly looses battery power when charging wirelessly. On my other phone which has the same rom and everything it works great. This may not be the right place but does anyone have any ideas what could be causing the phone not to charge wirelessly. I checked wakelock detector and the Xposed framework Unbounce to check for wakelocks and I don't see anything coming up.

KK ROM

Thanks to all contributors on this forum. Been using the ROM and it meets all my needs and works flawlessly. Keep up the good work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] josemald:
Too much stuff to do the last couple of weeks, I hope to have some free hours to do this tomorrow. I also tried deleting Skype cache and data, and turning off the 2 step verification ID for Google (for Hangouts), neither one of those apps worked. However, Facebook messenger has no voice issues, so I've been using that.

Quick question, do you see these unexplained issues in the Nexus or other phones with unlocked bootloader (like the HTC M8) and custom Rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
my pleasure and thank u kind sir!! :good:

edit .. to simplify my rambling lol

the s4 is a nightmare, why? . users r on so many different bootloader/basebands.. due to samung security and this knox crap

this is the main cause of issues .. random reboots .. etc etc ..

roms i have made for the nexus 5, htc m8, htc m7 and so dont have these issues.. heck even the s5 seems better off in terms off security nonsense .. i can for example use stock kernels on my tmobile s5 .. so .. i blame samsung :)
