Can't believe how simple that was, thank you very much for your help...I confused myself when asking the question...just glad you made out my non sense...lol
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] giokou:
I was on stock 4.4.2 (UFNC4), then flashed Phil's recovery, then the UGNE5 modem and then echo v22 choosing AEL kernel.

All hell broke loose! ''Corrupted data partition'' and ''device memory damaged'' etc and couldn't boot to main system.

Then I changed the kernel to friedrich420's custom through aroma flasher, but still nothing.

Why is this happening? Any help appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
Have you provided a full wipe (including data and sd) this is what i would try since looks something went wrong on it..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] giokou:
In the aroma I 've chosen the full wipe.

After the flash completed, I couldn't do anything cause it didn't boot to the main system!!!

I finally succeded, though. I searched into the options of Phil's recovery and found out that data/media was not set correctly or something like that.

So after I changed that and after another hard reset it finally booted to main system. So I am on friedrich420's custom kernel and I am absolutely sure that if I dare to change the kernel to AEL, the same will happen!

UPDATE

The option in recovery was: Advanced > Sdcard target: /data/media/0 and then hard reset.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
I don' t think so... here ( and not only here) is working as a charme.. so i can' t say for sure what happend, but was not the kernel..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Darkwing_X:
Here also only one flash with AEL 2, no issue so far and works exzellent Only one thing is a bit strange i can not turn on location Service without GPS. In all the Versions before it was no problem. But i think it's the Base, or maybe updated google Services.

Download the latest version of whatever recovery you use, download rom to ext sd card or internal, i personally run the GS4ROMNuke script from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2405363, in recovery before i flash the rom,(but that's just my personal choice, don't think it's necessary),install the rom,go through the aroma options, they are pretty much straight forward, let rom install and reboot your phone. Hopefully you won't have any of the issues that some seem to be having on this base, if you want/need to flash the new modem, then do that through odin making sure you turn your phone off and go to download mode using the buttons and then flash the modem or the non-hlos bin depending on which bootloader your on
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] daxgirl:
Exciting??!?!?! You THINK?!?!?!?! You don't know the half of what he's doing!!! ???
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] KeyperOS:
Wow, came here to post my issues but I guess I'm late to the party.

Yeah, a myriad of FCs and reboots with the phone getting REALLY REALLY hot.

Old bootloader, latest AEL kernel, the I9505XXUGNE5 Modem from the Echoe page which so far, after flashing it 3 times, I still get baseband FNC9, not sure if that's right.

From where I'm standing the Aroma installer is botched. By trying different options I get more or fewer FCs with the most FCs when I choose S5 features and the least, when I choose Stock S4 with the exception of the stock System UI which has been broken since at least v20 and was never fixed (I work around this by flashing the SystemUI from v18).

Now the default Aroma selection for phone (semi-transparent) FCs the acore and phone processes...

Sorry guys but it's pretty obvious that the ROM still has some kinks to iron out although I am willing to accept the possibility of it working better on certain hardware revisions than others...

Theme for V22

This is my personal theme for Echoe v22

Just flash through recovery.

I am using the Universal Flash tool with back up enabled.

so if you dont like it and want to switch back just navigate to "UniversalFlasher" folder on your internal SD and flash the backup zip.

If you do like it, just hit the thanks button.

This theme has been a work in progress for 3 years now.(since my S2).

I need to thank Freidrich and echoe team, Bobcat, Eladios, Carotix, Rixsta and many others here on XDA.

I have borrowed elements from many themes over the last few years as well as creating/editing my own.

Only .pngs are replaced using my theme.

Hope you like it:o:o:o

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
I' m sorry????? SystemUI is PERFECTLY working... not sure if you have tried v21 as well..

Anyway.. you should provide more information and be sure the file you got isn' t corrupted and make sure you do a FULL wipe install.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] KeyperOS:
STOCK SystemUI, the one working is the Echoe themed one (I believe it's called og?).

The stock Sammy S4 SystemUI FCs as soon as the phone boots up, I admit I never tried v21 but went from v20 (which also has the same issue) to v22.

MD5 hash agrees, I used the latest Philz recovery and actually did a full wipe twice (one from Philz's full wipe option for installing a new rom plus another from the Aroma installer).

TBH I would be willing to test it some more but the phone got too hot to want to risk damage to the battery and possibly the main board so I reverted to my v20 backup...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davtse:
I'm having issues myself but I wont go so far as to claim that its entirely the ROM's fault. Reason being because I have yet to encounter a problem on any of the release candidates that I could not solve myself. I just lack the time to do so at the moment so that will have to be put on hold. There's nothing wrong with the modem provided, you need to power down your device first and then manually enter download mode instead of using the advanced reboot menu(This is exactly what I mean by user error)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] daxgirl:
Hi!

Stock systemui flashes and works no problem with all the extra mod combination. And I am talking about stock. Not og

I would recommend reflashing the rom without wipe since you already wiped twice, then running kernel cleaner and flashing kernel ael vs 1.2.1. That seems to be working better on some devices.

In general, for most users on this thread the rom has installed and is running smoothly. I myself use the S5 mostly combinations from aroma and it's flawless with default over clocked kernel. No overheating, no reboots, not a single fc.

I accept the fact that the rom is glitching on your device, but since you do seem to have read some of the thread replies I am sure you can understand the fault of saying that the rom "needs more work" (which imo is always true anyway).

Also the point of having this thread with a rather constant team support is so people with difficulties can READ it and try the solutions already offered by others with the same problem.

Old Bootloader

AElKernel 1.21

Echoe v21

Factory Wipe/Reset - install v22 pre-release.

All good.

restore my apps from TB.

All BAD- settings FC

Can't sign in to Play Store

Multiple browser and play store screens opening spontaneously.

Phone completely unresponsive.

Battery getting hot

Pull Battery restart phone in recovery

Factory Wipe/Reset - install v22 pre-release.

Still BAD-Multiple browser and play store screens opening spontaneously.

Restart phone in recovery.

Factory Wipe/Reset - install v22 pre-release.

Good install. This time I did not use TB to restore but let Google restore my apps(105)

Setup exposed modules-Wanam etc. to my liking.

Setup apps- weather, banking,etc

Setup Greenify,Trickster

RESULT- PERFECT ROM- yeah:good::

Download V22 aroma

***DIrty flash***---hold breath----------- RESULT- PERFECT ROM- yeah:good::

Been running for three days now on V22, AEL Kernel 2. Lionheart/Zen, 18900-162, -37500vUC

Everything works and works well. No random reboots. easily get 5hs screentime over 30-40 hrs between charge cycles.

After reading all the problems users are having over the last few pages and what happened to me. It seems that NE5 needs a complete fresh install. Trying to use any data/backups/themes from previous bases and other roms will only lead to problems.

Hope this helps

Where is the fun/mystery in that?

Trust me. if you dont like it. it is easy to flash back using the backup.

Just as easy to dirty flash the Rom again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Let me see if I get this straight: Even for systemui fc, settings fc or any crappy s5 apps fcing, the kernel is at fault? My "teammates"?? :thumbup::thumbup:

Restoring settings via tb, restoring app data and/or restoring other data has nothing to do with the problems ppl are facing.. People not doing a clean wipe also prob not the reason. . It has to be the kernel or the base..

Question: on the prerelease (3 days of being released) nobody had these issues... any explanation for that?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] daxgirl:
Morning! I think... If i got this straight... you're kinda angry..? Any bad word has been said about your kernel by your "teammates"? I don't recall... If that was the impression, I am sure it was not intended! Good kernel, good rom, just trying to sort through the issues :) :) :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Im sadly disappointed...

We have had pages and pages and pages of bashing the kernel to the point that i removed it.. (yep its been removed- the other guy mentioned it straight and clear: he is AFRAID to flash this kernel). If anyone wants the kernel pm me...i wont be releasing it publically anymore..

With reports that dont make sense because they are incomplete reports and they leave out important details....

We had one comment about aroma and boom, you guys had answers right away.... and long ones as well... and not so nice may i say? ;)

Yep im beyond disappointed...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] daxgirl:
Well, I am sure we can manage longer answers about the kernel :) all that were trying to do is give support to the best of our abilities. And as I said. .. I'd anything seemed different than that, it was most definately not intended :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
"So after I changed that and after another hard reset it finally booted to main system. So I am on friedrich420's custom kernel and I am absolutely sure that if I dare to change the kernel to AEL, the same will happen!"

This comment from a person whose cause of problems was not knowing how to use philz recovery...

But still the comment is there.. the impressions are there...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] daxgirl:
Am sure the first and foremost impression of this rom and thread is of the unity and joy that people feel from sharing the echoe expirience. And there are negative feedbacks everywhere, but over here people fight with problems and rebooting devices only to remain on echoe. I would say - great achievement.

use wakelockdetector or betterbattery stats.

no offense to you who asked nicely for help, but its tiring to see the same questions over and over - friedrich (the creator of the kernel) is taking it as personal attacks, and getting pretty upset by it.

wakelock detector, settings, advanced mode - find the offending process and i/we can help you further. on about one in 3 of my phones, i've had google play services eating up battery for example - not a kernel problem, but only happened after kernel flashes (and not always AEL)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] coolvipcandy:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] coolvipcandy:
thanx for reply,, battery usage is normal now but was hell yesterday.,, i did used the better battery stats as suggested by [MENTION=5572728]Acer4605[/MENTION] , and it says that wifi taking up battery even when its switched OFF,, and [MENTION=4714483]daxgirl[/MENTION] (with tonns of thanks), guided to turn it OFF completely. Hopefully all good now.

About Kernel v2,, i first used it on v21 n then on v22,, both times there were random reboots and multiple "stopped" errors and again followed by reboot. and apparently its my phone who's not up for this advanced kernel (as discussed earlier in this thread,, some phones are unable to handle this,, mine happened to b one of them). , BTW loving v22 so far,, its extra smooth.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dwarfer66:
Asked that myself, and he told me to try it instead, did not want to post screenshots for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Acer4605:
now you listen to me and do it carefully since I'm only going to say this once.

You have build an amazing kernel, and for me it works battery life could be better with zen and Lionheart still hadn't the time to figure out which app may be at fault here.

only thing that I noticed when I use a network signal tester the phone gets hot, is it because the intensive use of this app I don't know so I can't blame it on the rom or the Kernel. when using the phone normally I don't have any temperature fluctuations and phone is reacting normal.

Understand that it's frustrating to other people trying out your rom and kernel and willing to spend hours and hours to get your kernel and rom working on their phones, with the risk of soft bricking the phone( Had that experience a couple of days back) and praying to get it back working again so that they don't have to explain to their friend girlfriend wife or husband that they broke their phone and desperatly wanting to buy a new phone because of this :d in my case I would need to go back to the stone age in order to communicate lol)

all we and your fantastic team are trying to find a solution to their problem and learning from it in order to avoid these kind of problems in the future.

we are not trying to discurrage you in any way or trying to make you feel bad because you made something "that is not working as it should on several phones"

Your Rom is fantastic and your Kernel seems to be is as stuborn as a mule and carefully select the phones it wants to work with :D

stop being so negative because if people don't like your work your threads wouldn't be one of the largest threads in whole XDA!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] daxgirl:
How absolutely PERFECT you are... ???
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
If this is the case then we seriously have a problem...

This is not how it should be...

How did you soft brick your phone?

WHat was the procedure that lead to that?

I removed the kernel to protect people...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Acer4605:

---------- Post added at 08:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 AM ----------

You don't need to remove the kernel you doofus your Kernel is good

I soft bricked my phone when i wanted to upgrade the modem prior to the V22 aroma release and I softbricked my phone in the process, I managed to repair it so no harm done but I did say like a ton of prayers to get it fixed :D

and I must admit that it was most likely my own mistake to start with getting several fails and in the process of telling my phone to accept the modem because I wanted it to it threw a soft brick back at me :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] leoniedelt:
Indeed. All it takes is being willing to work with what we're blessedly and freely and wonderfully given, and find what works best for us. AND READING THE INSTRUCTIONS (and reinstalling all apps from GOOGLE PLAY every time, not Titanium)

For me it wasnt the OC kernel, but that's okay. I'm not really in need of an OC kernel anyway! I'm in need of a battery sparing one!

The wheatley governor + zen are the best combo i have EVER seen, along with a tiny bit of undervolting and the patience to try these things out and see what happens.

Very light use yesterday, 15 hours, 13% battery used. Could probably make it all WEEK like that without having to charge! :) As it is, i easily get 2 days out of it without having to charge, and that's with my normal daily web browsing and facebooking and whatever.

LOVE IT, Friedrich. Its teams like Echoe that keep my S4 going, and keep me from replacing it with an S5 - an expense we just dont need right now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dwarfer66:
Totally agree, people just don't like to read instructions, and when something goes wrong "IT'S NOT MY FAULT!, HAS TO BE YOUR ROM AND/OR KERNEL". The only problem was I just had to change kernel to get my mobile data to work, apart from that, not 1 problem.:p
