Have you tried another clean (dalvik, cache n system) fresh install? I can't check a now as i am on KK but nobody reported this so i think you can solve this way.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TheBeast:
I didn't but I did a clean install the first time and I had this issue from the beginning so I don't think it would help. Out of memory for the backup and lack of time so I want to make sure first... You sure it isn't supposed to be like this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
Yes it doesn't have that effect at all!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kraven0731:
Experienced random reboots in v12.1 and i don't know why it happened.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
Clean install? Did you flash another Kernel? Most of time, a factory reset helps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Acer4605:
check if your battery serial starts with BD if so please change it asap since Samsung shipped a lot of phones with a bad serie of batteries.

they acknowledged the fact that they made a bad shippement and therefore you can exchange your batterie for free

other symptoms you might encounter

sudden battery drainage

battery starts to swell

if you ignore this the battery might even explode

good luck
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kraven0731:
Yup. I have clean install before I flashed the v12.1 and I did not flash any kernel. I did not experience this on v12.

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

My Battery is good and serial thus not starts with BD.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
Hmm. I would try to reflash the ROM again. Maybe something went wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
I would advice aslo to do a check on md5.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kraven0731:
I will try it if i encounter another reboot.

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

How do i check the md5?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
From pc using the program: md5sum if i'm not wrong.. or in linux: gtkhash

If it's not good, ODIN will write it in these stats.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kakarotto87:
I did these steps

Flashed through ODIN the new leaked firmware, most recent recovery, and echoe 14.1... Still without Wi-Fi...

Why??

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
Check your baseband from settings/info if is na5

Also tipe this in a terminal emulator, press enter after each line:

su

getprop ro.bootloader

It should return a firmware code.

If is not correct flash again the wrong one ( you can flash only the needed one, bl for bootloader and cp for modem)

Use the 2nd flash method (unthick autoreboot first time then reboot MANUALLY,w/o starting the phone, again in download mode then reflash with autoreboot) to flash if it is not going well first time..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kakarotto87:
Hello, thanks for answer me.

my baseband and bootloader firmware is XXUEMI8... I'll search for the na5

Yo Dudes, Dudettes and Echonians,

I finally did it. 14.1. New Boobloader. FNA5 Modem. All is right with the world.

Only a couple of hours use so far. Everthing is groovy.

Excèpt... I'm getting force closes on Duse Ex: The Fall and Asphalt 8. Not tried anything others yet.

Only mods I have are Gravity box, Wanham and stock framework.

Anyone else getting this? Ideas people! I need ideas!

Mmmmmm, just did a sixaxis map for Dues Ex. Took ages. Sad face. Girlfriend is out tonight. Staying in with my echoerom. Things to flash. TB's to restore.

Yes! Score! Beer! Anyway. .. force closes that was it. Gonna try MC 4 now.

Remember when you were young. You shone like the sun.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
If you have the stock leaked into there are those package i mentioned above wich you need!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] odlabu:
Same here, I am getting force closes and reboot once FC started. (NBA Jam game)

Thor game i do not have reboots also with flappy birds.

But anyways, still the best ROM out there

does 4.4 twiz have ability to set default sms app?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tuckersmission:
Agreed. Great great rom. But life without sixaxis controller app! I dunno Dude, that's asking a lot. You think it's rom, kernel related or just a kit kat thing? I guess it's a leak so ya never quite know what your gonna get.

Anyone know what the kernel options are? If any.

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

Sure does.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] odlabu:
maybe due to Kernel is a leaked one, so maybe bugs would be expected :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tuckersmission:
Yeah. MC 4 plays really nice. No lag, just Smooth. Gotta get Dues Ex working. Sad face.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
Hi my friend, it's also possible that the mentioned apps are not updated for KitKat now. So it must not be ROM or Kernel related.

Hope you'll have fun with your new Echoepowered toy.:laugh:

and then this: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407571106

It maybe confusing because of the names of the files, but the 1st zip contains the modded systemui.apk for OG mod as well. The 2nd zip its just the newer OGBatteryMod.apk :)

Let me know if it worked for you..

btw that NOTE 3 Camera is great!!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
Yes, busybox should be installed. If it still doesn't work, go to system/build.prop and look for this lines:

lpa.decode=false

tunnel.decode=false

lpa.use-stagefright=false

If in one of them you see "true" instead of "false", change it to "false". Save the changing and reboot, Viper should work now.

If it still doesn't work, delete Viper from System apps and install the latest playstore version as userapp.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ranger4740:
Hey guys the "new fast launcher" is also working on echoe 12.1. I copied the apk to system/app and change permissions to the normal rw_r__r__.

There are a few strange things going on though, the pop up menu when touch and hold on home screen instant selects what's under your finger.

And dark icon shadows at the bottom after you add app to home screen.

Other than that it's awesome.

Edit; shadows caused by the fact I had 5×4 home screen already with apps on row 5, so when change to new launcher which is only 4×4 shadows show at bottom.

Any chance of a 5×4 home screen and 5×5 app draw too?

Ok...after trying couple of NA5 based roms I think I know what is causing the poor battery life. On roms based on leaked NA5 the battery charging power is 1200mA instead 1900mA how supposed to be. Any idea how this can be fixed?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
Start flashing a stock odin rom.. then reflash a recovery and the rom

No needed to be fixed.. if you use a different charger for exemple a 1000 mA is gonna simply take longer to be charged or is not gonna charge but it doesn' t affect the battery lasting..

If you have a poor battery life it can be due to the kernel or the base wich is maybe not optimized as will an official base

there are multiple, each one goes for a specific firmware, so be sure to use the correct one for the firmware you are flashing and remember to knox and to not downgrade from your current bootloader ( if you remeber wich is :D )

I think it is a problem that you have, i don't think they would release a rom with that problem.. Anyway are we talking about the kitkat one, right?

If you don't have the correct bootloader you won't have wifi, so far no problem for mobile data. Except that, wich you can fix flashing the newest bootloader, you'll have everything good ( just read a bit about knox if you are not aware)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] atomfix:
Using the latest Bootloader and Modem provided in the 4.2 ROM, wifi works like a charm though, if I reinstall the ROM from scratch, the Mobile Data is enabled by default and works fine, it's only until I disable it I can't enable it again because of the sim card not inserted error.

Nothing to do with the sim card.. make sure you actually flashed correctly by typing in a terminal emulator: after each line hit enter:

su

getprop ro.bootloader

Return value will be na5 if correct.

For modem check in setting.

If not correct flash with the unthick autoreboot method and double flash.

Really wired.. wipe and re wipe everything is possible!!.. good luck mate

Did you stop all Kies processes before you hit the startbutton in Odin? Running Kies in background can cause conflicts while flashing.
