ok, have a question, what is the best recovery for this rom? TWRP or CWM, currently im using twrp and im having freezing issues with it. and thats with 2.6 from goomananger.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
I don't think so, Crossbreeder has been included in this rom since the beginning I think if that were the case we'd have issues from the get go.

I use TWRP, did you wipe preload?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] loc125:
could be a possibility.....currently fixing at the moment.:silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
Sometimes that makes all the difference.

Also wiping three times can make a difference too, the partitions aren't always fully wiped even though the recovery says it is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dev_man77:
I've only done a quick search and plan on spending more time looking for my answer but I figured I'd toss it up on here anyway.

I have the 7/11 version with Ktoonz Kernel on MF9 Baseband and I have been getting random reboots at times especially while the phone is ringing while screen off. I am expecting a phone call for a job interview today and don't want to miss it.

Is there a way I can just flash the stock MF9 Kernel from this ROM? or can I simply just download the latest version of this ROM and flash over without doing a factory restore? I want to keep my settings and apps. I have Titanium Backup but don't always have the best of luck with it. It's been a while since I was a heavy flasher, the whole TWRP is kind of new to me.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
I would advise downloading the latest MF9 update if you're on the MF9 firmware and modem as they were meant to run together.

Mixing MDL and MF9 will cause funky things like that to happen. A dirty flash should work fine for you but I would ultimately recommend a x3 wipe including preload just to be certain - I don't want you missing your interview call.

Best of luck bud.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dev_man77:
Thanks that was fast!

I do have all of the MF9 components, its just the Ktoonz kernel that might be messing things up for me I think.

So I can dirty flash... that helps. I mean I like 7/11 the way it is but didn't know if there was certain scripts you incorporated into the stock kernel for this ROM. So I would be able to flash the stock MF9 Kernel from this then:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
I would NOT recommend running a MF9 kernel with a MDL ROM, that seems like a recipe for disaster.

But it's ultimately up to you on that one.

To make sure that everything is working perfectly I'd just download the latest MF9 build and install that. But I know you don't want to tinker with TB.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dev_man77:
7/11 is MF9 :highfive:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
*Sigh* It's been a long night/morning, you're right, flash the MF9 kernel and it should help you out.

I was having 0 rebooting issues on stock kernel on my MF9 builds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
Alright rebuilt the entire rom from source and tested it myself, hotspot is working.

Download link will be in op in a bit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cheddaface:
just what i need
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
Download is up in the op, you Can dirty flash this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
No problem.

I'd just like to say that your avatar makes my day every time I see it lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Mudavo:
Everything running great! Thanks for the hard work and great ROM!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
Not a problem bud, glad we got that hotspot working for ya!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jellybeanteeker:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
Sorry man, this update fixes the hotspot. Something got corrupted somewhere along the line.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jellybeanteeker:
Does it fix wifi? :D

Sent from my SPH-L720
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
Wifi shouldn't be an issue? It works on stock kernel or any other kernel.

I'm on mf9 stock and it fails on me x.x

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
Wipe and reinstall this update, wifi was tested extensively - I know it's working on this latest build on any kernel.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iEatRappers:
So I just installed this ROM(First time ever installing a ROM) and everything is working perfectly(wifi,3g etc...) havent had any problems what so ever :D . But I do have one question is there anyway to uninstall some of the remaining apps(Like for instance POLARIS Office 5).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Mudavo:
Download titanium backup. You can uninstall system apps. Recommend backing them up to your SD card first though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
This.

Got to it quicker than I could haha.

Best rom I have tried so far, awesome job
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ejdavis72:
I have tried downloading this rom a couple times and it always comes up to 1.16GB even though the download says it is 1.2 is this right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
The site rounds the file size, yes that's right.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ejdavis72:
Thanks! Installing tomorrow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jayboogz:
guess i wont be trying this one out because its odex
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
Sorry bud, MHousos has his Deodexed ROM up for anyone interested in that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Notorious:
Odex is better.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jayboogz:
Really? I Didnt Know Thanks But Most Of These Roms For TW Is Deodoxed And This Rom And The Blukuban Rom Is Odex
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sbreen94:
Nice work bud! ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
They both have pro and cons. It might be better for you but not for others that like theming. Personally I love a minimal look
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
Thanks Sbreen! Told ya I was learnin' in the background! :victory:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sbreen94:

Does anyone have the download link for the rom it isnt showing up in the app on my phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Son Rise:
Hes gonna post everything around 7am. The screenshots and download link. Be readyy:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KStyles69:
Great

Need a ROM with more punch... more benchmark worthy. Also so great so see a Original Sprint Rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Kingmdm:
Love the idea of having this Rom as an option! Odexed and Stock kernel has great appeal during times when I need stability and performance over themes/mods (work vs play):) Definitely will be adding this Rom to my minimal Rom rotation, depending on mood and situation. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
Download link is up and screenshots will be up later tonight after work!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] edisepic:
Rom looks great and i dislike themes so this will be perfect for me. but im going to wait until its updated to MF9. ik a lot is removed but is the normal samsung calendar app and widgets still in this rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
Normal Calendar and Widgets do remain in this ROM as I use them for work via exchange.

You can always remove them after downloading the ROM itself if you'd like.

Like I said earlier, I'll be updating this to MF9 when the stock odexed ROM is released for download. Because I use my phone heavily for work battery, performance, and stability are key issues for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] edisepic:
I saw your previous post stating that. and i want those widgets for the same reason that you do so im glad there not removed. but i am gonna follow this post and will definitely flash when you update it. i appreciate the fast response keep up the good work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
Thanks, I'll do my best to update this to MF9 as soon as the stock odexed and rooted ROM is released.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
MF9 released.

I'll be posting an updated MF9 tonight.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] money2392:
flashed twice wifi doesnt turn on for me i wipe/format everything
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rujelus22:
You can theme odexed all you want. It just requires a few extra steps. Odex is faster.

Only problem ive notice now is on the viper4android using his update that merges both apps is the only one that seems to work not a problem with the rom its his app. Im kinda noobish so not undertsanding his install if it's not to much trouble would love the merged version instead of the 2 apps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] BigJPNut:
If this has crossbreader mod then why is ad block plus included or did you combine the two?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] STRETCH3535:
Looking good here Patna! :beer:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
It's a combination, and I removed ABP in favor of Adaway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
I'll look into this and push an update soon hopefully.

EDIT: Looked into this and it seems that the merge of the apps is still in progress.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xNicoyAx:
Its been merged. The Hifi settings are at the bottom of the list on the FX version. Hifi is no longer supported.

Using it for a while now :D

Version 2.2.1.0 is what you want
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
2.2.1.0 is the version that's included in the ROM though?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xNicoyAx:
The hifi options should be there then. It's the Clarity options. That's all hifi really was.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] binaryimage:
Got it figured out. Somehow EQ was on inside player turned it off and presto
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ejdavis72:
I like the ROM but I could not get it to play nice with my messaging widgets for some reason, it would not let me change the skin. I tried wiping and reinstalling twice and no go. I'm sure it's just a compatibility with the messaging APP and MF9 and the APP just needs an update. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] holdenjr1642:
Performance...I think I'll stick with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cruckus:
Hey whats going on everyone! I've been using this rom for 48hrs and the second day the battery life got better but its still not where I think it should be. I switch off between the htc one and the s4 but I just did all the update stuff for mf9 so I dunno if that may be the issue. Loved your work on htc evo 3d so I know if you can make that phone last all day this one should be a beast. Ive tried reloading and redownloading the rom before just leaving it how it is this time just wanted some feed back from anyone about their battery life. I can get through a full day but I just cant use the phone for anything. Its crazy I did the default install and custom but if I use the phone its like the battery just drains fast as hell. Rom is smooth though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] danasmith2816:
Yesterday when I checked it I was at 11 plus hours and still at 72% battery. I have a spare battery and charger so battery life is not my main concern but it has been very good so far. And, the ROM is AWESOME! Jmho.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nova0387:
I cant get Wifi to work...Ive wiped completely and reinstalled 3 times but still it won't turn on at all...any fix for this? I really use my wifi on my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
Are you running the full MF9 update?

If so try loading KT kernel, for some reason some people cannot get the stock kernel to work with wifi. I think this may be due to a faulty upgrade from MDL to MF9.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] esqueue:
Wait...Just to confirm. This is the stock rom with all the BULL**** removed?

If yes then hell yeah. The only apps on the removed list that I use are Dropbox and s-voice which I can reinstall.

Currently researching on some of the apps that are installed. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
This is the stock Sprint MF9 ROM with a lot of bloatware removed and performance tweaks added. This was designed for stability and speed, looking pretty is a distant second for this ROM.

If you have apps that you'd like back into the ROM download the Removed Apps zip and drag and drop the desired apks to your SD card and install.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mr pnut:
The only problem I just noticed was my s beam is not working.....

Sent from my Gs4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
It was removed from the ROM, if you'd like it back go ahead and just toss the apk back in.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KStyles69:
Mdl updates

I'm waiting to update to MF9....Tried the MF9 manual update/ROMs a few times with no wifi or hotspot available. Your MDL Download doesn't include the 7-15-13 Updates? :crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
MDL will be phased out sadly sorry man.

You should have already gotten a stock MF9 update OTA from Sprint by now.

People that are having issues with hotspot and wifi on MF9 are typically just missing a step or two during the upgrade process (i.e. missing firmware, kernel, etc.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KStyles69:
Update in progress

Such a good update Im forced to do as you say.....HERE WE GO.....Triangle Away>Odin Back to Stock>Get all the firmware updates>HACK THE LIFE BACK INTO THE PHONE...Hope this is worth it:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] binaryimage:
Its more then worth it in my opinion, best rom I have tried so far. Love my battery life.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SpartanVissepo:
Not really haven't even try them. I just dont want to break anything in the phone app
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
As long as you download the odexed zip you should be fine - shouldn't bork anything.

You can manually install the removed MDL apps if they fail to install. Just push them to /system/app/ and change the permissions to rw-r--r--

Bootanimation

Not familiar how easy to change a odex boot animation but seriously, it has to go. Your "google boot animation" is really bad. Your Rom isn't a google theme or a google phone. Thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] reverepats:
NVMD

Sorry Xconja!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] binaryimage:
Y u cryin bro :thumbdown:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
The Google boot animation is directly pulled from the Google S4 ROM so I'm not sure how it's "really bad" and not sure why it's in quotations as if to imply it's a fake animation.

Normally I hate it when devs get snarky but I'm afraid here it's kinda needed.

If you want a different boot animation then look here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dcillusions77:
LMAO
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] maxpower7:
1) It amuses me that you think Xconja made the boot animation for this rom when a quick search (or, y'know, just looking at the file) would've shown otherwise.

2) I'm fairly certain that devs are allowed to use whatever boot animation they like for the roms that they make and give to you FOR FREE. Don't bite the hand that feeds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] maxpower7:
I'm really liking this rom. It's faster than stock but still looks totally stock, which is great for me because I generally avoid flashing pre-themed roms.

One thing I've noticed, though, is that the phone gets really warm while charging - moreso than any other rom I've used. It also seems to charge slower than usual. I would normally blame that kind of thing on the kernel, but this rom uses the stock MF9 kernel if I'm not mistaken. Has anyone else had this issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
Have you flashed the battery calibration data yet?

Also, some ROMs are more battery intensive and the battery usage is quite different from ROM to ROM. Try running it a few more days before doing anything and see what happens. As far as heat and charging time goes it shouldn't really be affected. There are no charging modifications and no battery usage modifications baked in.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] maxpower7:
I feel dumb for asking but.... I don't see battery calibration data in the OP. Am I missing it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
No need to feel dumb, there's nothing in the OP regarding battery calibration.

What I meant by that is in TWRP or CWM you can flash your battery calibration - do this as a last resort after running the ROM for a few days letting it settle in.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] maxpower7:
Oh, I see what you mean. I tend not to mess around with "battery calibration" at all because it's totally unnecessary with li-ion batteries. Most calibration guides tell you to drain the battery all the way to zero, recharge to 100, and then calibrate/clear battery stats, but draining a li-ion battery all the way will actually degrade the life of the battery. Also, my understanding is that the battery stats are automatically cleared when the phone is charged to 100% anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
Yes and no, the battery stats are not cleared with charged to 100%.

Everything else you posted I believe is right. Let her settle in and if something still isn't right go ahead and maybe try a re-flash.

Have you recently put the phone into a case? Heat is a battery's worst nightmare. It will affect battery life, charging times, and how hot the phone feels.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] maxpower7:
Nope, I hate cases. I've never used one on any phone and I don't intend to start anytime soon :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] XcoNjA:
Well then that eliminates that doesn't it? :)

Let's wait it out and see how she acts after a day or two.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] maxpower7:
Sounds like a winner. Thanks for your input!

Mod

GREAT NEWS...Did some testing... AGAT 0.4.0 Kernel flashed successfully with this MF9... Also flashed that Comodose Mod too. The Kernel gets a consistent better AnTuTu & 3DMark benchmark scores... only like %5-7%... The battery results isn't conclusive but at 20 hours with 65% left.... 42% of that with screen on.... 20%ish from AnTuTu alone from benchmarking throughout 7he day...10 hours in airplane mode (sleeping)...no gaming... just texting...browse internet...no calls.... my battery is a 3340mah slim so it is more then stock. Will post finalized pictures once it reaches %10... did not reset battery stats.
