So what is the difference between this ALPHA ROM and the Infamous ROM? Is it just the TMO stuff missing like wifi-calling? And updated firmware cause TMO hasn't released any updates yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nicotheandroidguy:
Alpha is based on i9505 software infamous is based off of Tmobile MDL software.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ntranced78:
Also has apps to sd ....updated firmware minus T-Mobile WiFi calling MMS etc...super smooth IMO has been since first release...kernel is beast see pic
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Alpha:

Just received the official newest MH1 update

App2SD

Newest Aroma 3.4 Firmware

Various tweaks

You can read the changelogs for both in the op for some of the other differences.

I9505 Firmware doesn't support calling over WiFi.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jamison904:
Thanks bro! Heads up through, [MENTION=2996598]DeeXii[/MENTION] is doing the call record. He is the man when it comes to that. Think he even said he is doing a 360DPI and 340DPI versions to fix the dialer and phone issue.

What I did when I knew I was going to ODIN PhilZ Recovery:

- ODIN Samsung Stock Firmware

- Root with CF-AUTO-ROOT by Chainfire

- ODIN PhilZ Recovery

Enter into Recovery, and you know the rest :)

I wanted to start with a completely fresh slate because of the issues I've been having for a couple or more days, up to right before deciding to change the Recovery of not being able to reboot off the Samsung splash screen after numerous ROM installations.

Wanted to clean everything, or almost everything out.

No, i understand that, but i meant, All the specific settings... customizations.. such as in 3min, notifications, lock screen, display, ringtone etc.. with the S2 there was less customzations so it was quicker, but now with so many i wanted a way to do it quickly, maybe even a custom script that would get called from the default installers to install the customizations...it could include BT pair, network key's etc, exchange server configuration..

hmm, but right now it doesnt work.... you are suggesting i back the 3minit settings up, and restore them?

I only restore user apps, which in this case is the license for 3minit. The changes are done to the android framework, so not sure how is that going to work. I started 3minit from scratch, although it didnt work in 7.5 neither.

Everything works great on latest rom with bio shock Kernel. Only problem is the lightning lock screen didn't stick from aroma. Other then that flawless.

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

By the way. Philz latest recovery worked without a problem using the"wipe for new rom"feature. Only thing is it didn't clean out the internal sd card. Purposely put folder on internal before wipe and flash and it along with other files were still there afterwards. This did not create a problem just doesnt seem like a clean install to me. However it did not freeze at the Samsung screen.

Rewiped and installed a 2nd time. this time after wipe I went to advanced, format sd card after full wipe. Then flashed rom without any freezing. Internal card was clean afterwards.

I checked internal after wipe while still in recovery and it was empty. I rebooted into recovery and checked internal again there was a cwm folder there after reboot. Then flashed rom. No problems.

Just wanted to say thanks for the great rom. I am at version 8.5 just wanted to point out one thing. While bluetooth is on. Using the software called wifi tether (root) will make bluetooth go off. After starting the wifi tethered running. Have to turn on the bluetooth again. Is it meant to be this way?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SelfElevated2:
What are the patches in the download section of devhost site?

Wondering if the best setup with this rom will be with the kernel that comes on it or the bioshock kernel?

Not to diss or put down your other versions or Infamous rom or work, but v8.5 has to be the smoothest fastest like butter version/rom youve put together to date. Great job.

BTW Infamous Tools app works completely flawless for me on 480dpi, all I did was flash bioshock on install

I can't change the lock screen wallpaper

When I go to display and click on the wallpaper, there is no way for me to change the lock screen wallpaper.

Is it normal on this version or am I having a weird problem.

BTW I did make full wipe and clean flash for 2 times and still having the same problem.

You have to make sure when you do aroma to load the rom that you select to install wallpaper chooser. Otherwise you will only be able to chose gallery if you installed gallery..

Ask me how i know this.. LOL

Infamous Alpha S4-7.2 SE DD Tweaked
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
This is true. Not to forget to choose the wallpaper chooser and Samsung wallpaper, etc.

But in my case, I did pick those 2 choices the other day, and the I could still not change my lockscreen wallpaper, but all galleries appeared in Homescreen wallpaper, just not in the lockscreen wallpaper choice of galleries.

In addition, I couldn't even change the lock screen wallpaper from within the QuickPic app directly.

I was having a multitude of quirky issues like this for days.

I changed my custom Recovery to PhilZ Recovery from TWRP 2.5.0.2, and all issues have resolved, in addition to red on resolving splash screen freezes, being unable to reboot, etc., including those issues described above.

So, I've been using the INFAMOUS S4 rom for a while now, and after a while, I've been noticing this rom has been getting constant updates. What's the key or main differences of the two roms? I've noticed the list in this rom is definitely shorter than the infamous s4 list.

Could someone just quickly debrief me ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] j_shelton1988:
3minit is developed for the international i9505 Galaxy. Alpha is based off of this international rom therefore it is easier to update alpha than it is infamous. Tons of code rewriting has to be done in order to get 3minit working correctly for the Tmobile rom. As long as you can go without wifi calling and all the Tmobile bloat, I highly recommend alpha. Also, alpha has apps2sd which is nice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ntranced78:
Basically that...until T-Mobile gets off the pot and updates us...alpha will get more attention...MR.I and Jamison have 3minit porting down pat...just with infamous its based on T-Mobile s lazy ass firmware so u still get WiFi calling and of course...infamously butter ROMs with either :D

I have and issue with the ROM not as much issue but a lack if connectivity on my end..:confused:

i don't complain much because most of the time i can fix the bugs but this is so everyone can know:mad:

Zero issues from conception of alpha 1 to the teens of alpha 8.5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chino9656:
I had a similar, but likely unrelated, issue this morning. Everything was great, listening to Pandora and doing mobile hotspot for the first time since flashing 8.5. Then suddenly I lost all network connectivity. My 4g icon went away, and shortly thereafter all my bars disappeared.

I toggled mobile data, no luck.

Rebooted (twice) to no avail.

Finally pulled battery and SIM, then reseated SIM and battery. Enjoyed and all was working again.

I had this issue often on my S2, this was the first time on my S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Could be coincidental regarding the timing f your signal issues and the flashing of the ROM, as it pertains to possibles Tmo reception issues in the area.

If the issues just started, you can maybe wait it out through the day to see if things clear up.

If you don't want to wait, or perhaps call Tmo to see if there are any issues in the area, you may want to:

Recovery

Wipe cache and dalvik cache

If not resolved:

Recovery

Factory reset

Wipe system, cache, dalvik and preload

Flash ROM again

Aroma

Wipe System

If not resolved:

and on a personal note>>

I have had a multitude of issues with flashing the ROMS throughout the days. Certain things wouldn't work when others had no issues,, galleries wouldn't show up, certain apps would only work partially, etc., etc.

I changed my Recovery from TWRP 2.5.0.2 which I have used for months without issue, and installed Phi;Z Recovery.

I ODINd back to stock, installed the Recovery above, flashed 8.5 and Zero issues.

Everything installed.

Everything's working.

While I've never had any signal issues as one of the items that failed to work, I'm just trying to put out there when issues occur of unknown origin, or partially work, the way the ROM was flashed via Recovery , and the Recovery itself could possibly be the cause.

I could only deduce that the Recovery which Boots after the ROM is installed via Aroma is very instrumental in the way the ROM is flashed to the device, and bits and pieces could be lost in translation, causing the ROM to work erratically once the installation/flash is completed.

For whatever reason, PhilZ Recovery flashes the ROM without issue.

From what I see, after Aroma hands off the ROM install to the Recovery, prior to Booting the device, PhilZ is taking a few seconds to prepare for the Boot, and to insure things go the way they're supposed to, and that nothing's lost in translation, if that is even part of the technical equation, which in my experience, it appears to be.

I've been issue free since using PhilZ.

And this is coming from a hardcore TWRP guy ;)

TWRP became problematic for me once I tried to flash ROMs which included Aroma, whether it be an Infamous ROM, Alpha ROM or any other ROM with Aroma that I attempted to flash.

Choose Home, Lockscreen, or Home&Lockscreen

The Infamous wallpaper gallery is showing in all.

The above are just 2 ways to access the galleries.
