I think this is the last test version of KT kernel

http://goo.gl/hh3D0P

I'll test and post feedback

with the 6th of March version the phone didn't wake up twice in 10 mins or so :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
it seems there's a newer test one 9th of march

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jonnyspurukl:
yep lockscreen froze on me when I tried KT.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] whitesnake:
yeah, I modified my link accordingly :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
It will continue to do so unless you flash the latest test... i have been personally testing for KT so I'm quite aware of which is most stable, seems people don't want to listen tho lol :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] RossFixxed:
Hi guys, I seem to have made a mess here. I think the meds are making me stupid. I flashed v17 and my wifi is dead (can't even flick the switch to turn on). I am on Knox bootloader but not the one linked on echoerom.com However, if I try to flash that one in Odin I get invalid Md5 everytime. I've downloaded it a few times. I tick bootloader for that file, no joy. The newer modem shows success but doesn't flash (after 5 goes).

So how do I proceed here? Many thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
c'mon dude enough with this!!

one thing i dont have is guessing powers...

the perfect test kt kernel was published/ created on the 9th... v17 was also created on the 9th! Imean what do you want from me?

Excuse me for not guessing and being into kt's mind!! Geez!!

I cant even imagine if god forbid i made that kernel the default one...

Holy crap!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
What is your problem? All I did was try help out and let you all now of a better version. ... i dont deserve your sarcasm, never mind I wont help out again, have a nice day mate.

Try this thread my friend: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2670326

Its a detailed guide by my man [MENTION=5135171]speedwayfan75[/MENTION]

It should be helpful i hope...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] RossFixxed:
Thanks very much, however I cant' seem to flash bootloader as I get MD5 error in Odin and it aborts. I'm using the link from the Echoe site.

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> MD5 hash value is invalid

<OSM> BL_I9505XXUFNAD.tar.md5 is invalid.

<OSM> End...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
delete the md5 extension and reflash
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] leimrey:
New version of KT is out. Or post something simpler like that is enough.

Thank you very much.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] apsis:
I everyone who's on Echoe v17 effected by the Notification Center Bug - showing a graphical glitch when pulling down the Statusbar`? Or does it only happen to a few people?

Any way we can fix this with Wanam Exposed for example? That glitch somehow is kinda annoying :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] RossFixxed:
OMG I was staring at that the whole time. Sorry that was right under my nose! That's a howler on my part.

I've re-flashed the ROM, bootloader and modem, and I still have the same issue.

I'll do the whole process again now and hopefully 3rd time is a charm! Thanks again for the help.

EDIT: nope, same issue. Very strange, the modem will not update at all, but is showing success. I've tried about 10 times at this stage.

Odin must be to blame getprop ro.bootloader shows I have I9505XXUDMH8 bootloader. I've flashed the one from the site 3 times now and still nothing. I'll try another cable/odin version/usb port now I guess. I'm totally and utterly lost.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
wow!! your phone is really resisting the new bootloader, isnt it?? :) trying to make your experience a little lighter..

You are going into download mode with phone turned off my friend, correct? I mean with the power volume - combination and not through the echoe power menu...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] RossFixxed:
It doesn't like it does it? Weird! Ok yeah I am using the buttons, the bootloader and the modem are now flashed (and I can see they are there), the wifi toggle is still dead though, so perhaps another flash of the ROM is the way to go!

Sorry bout all this! No crisis, just having one of those days :) really appreciate the help man!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
:)

i know my man exactly like you put it ;) one of those days...

what kernel have you chosen? choose one of the 3 customs... kt to play it safe...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] RossFixxed:
I'm using your kernel, as if would choose any other one! It's flashing at the moment, I'll wait and see what happens. Failing that I'll reinstall teh 'full' version or something and try KT or such!

EDIT: no wifi, the toggle still will not turn on. I'll flash again and see if kernel makes a difference.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
I figured out why :)

its b/c the modem that was posted here and i put on the website is only the modem.bin... We (on new b/l) need the non-hlos.bin as well...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] RossFixxed:
Sorry for a double post but I wanted you to see that I fixed it :) Did a fresh install with kt, wifi is connected!

Delighted, thank you so much for your time and patience!

(I had the non hlos also, but that didn't help funnily)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kvlq:
which is the best kernel for overall performance(especially for battery life) ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
AWESOME!! :) :good:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
hey friedrich, any leads on the blank spot i mentioned earlier?

phone i have here is going back to its owner tomorrow, so if i cant fix it i'll have to flash back to v16 before they pick it up.

MOD Volume Boost ONLINE

Just finished it and tested it and im pretty satisfied with it, but im sharing it with you guys to test it if you want. Just flash via recovery. No need for any wipes...

It's a "moderate-high" volume boost that is based on @ jovy23 GUIDE to Volume Boosting XDA Thread. so ALL CREDIT for it goes to him for writing such an "idiot proof" unbelievable guide!! :good:

You will be very happy to now that I have managed to do it and make it work for our S4 THANKS to the guide you gave me :) So, this will also be included in next release :cowboy: That's why I love "To Do" lists... You get a HUGE SATISFACTION after crossing an item off it ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Nano23:
dont know master...ill give it a try later...its not big deal really ;) and about the 4g we have here on Portugal but not everywere...i dont have 4g were i live so i dont know if it work :P i never had 4g on my phone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Im really excited because i made some more mods work (in addition to the ones i had in my "MODS to add LIST) :) Ill keep them as a surprise from now on;) because i decided IM RELEASING A NEW VERSION even if it's the same base and kernel!!! :) The plan is to have it ready by Sunday....

YOUR SUPPORT HAS REALLY MOTIVATED ME!!! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ValVK:
Yesss!!! That is!!!! Only the way...!!! :):)

Thank you a lot Friedrich,now waiting for that!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] osmosizzz:
I've been keeping an eye on this thread and i love how dedicated you are to helping out others. The rom also sounds really good. On Sunday I will be hoping to this one. Hopefully the NFC stuff can get fixed. Can I suggest adding some sort of sound mod for those audio lovers such as myself? however it is not needed. and i also noted that you are going to theme this rom. Is there any way that you can make a zip of the stock Samsung theme and provide it separately when you do theme the rom? Many roms dont offer this and there are many themes I do not like.

Anyways, great job. the rom, based on replies, looks good. will be trying out when the update hits
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Thank you very much for your feedback and kind words:) about the theming, thats veeryyy longterm unfortunately b/c im just beginning to trying to learn that "science" and its going slow :p so its going to be stock themed for a while... im adding a sound boost (around 40% louder but still clear!!) for sure in the next release...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] osmosizzz:
Awesome! will definitely stay around here checking it out. As soon as you drop the update, ill be downloading

Im so happy you are SATISFIED my friend because that's all that matters at the end!!! :good: The comment I think was about the screen-on time, which seemed not that much. But, it was right after you flashed the Rom, 1st battery cycle, and so on... Im sure battery will be even better after a few full cycles.. Again, thank you for your feedback and support!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:

can use the camera app of samsung rather than the google edition one with this ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Fauert:
Hi friedrich420 , Sounds really good , but THE 1.1 is VERY GOOD !!

see batteritime .... NORMAL USE.... :D

Please, use the Samsung camera app for 1.2 OR both.. :highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
You can use both!! :) That's the beauty of it :) For me personally, I only use the Google Camera for the photosphere... The Samsung camera is way SUPERIOR!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] G69D:
nice!ahahahaha....its already inside the ROM or do i have to get the apk first before flashing?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
It's already inside my friend :) You will see 2 camera icons and 2 gallery icons.... :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Thank you!!! :) Both cameras remain the same like they are in v1 and v1.1 :) Im never removing the Samsung Camera!!! I just added the Google Camera so that we can have photosphere on this 13mp monster ;)

Need help. I am so fed up now my blood is boiling lol.

Basically all week I'm getting constant error messages from play store. It started on 4.3 based roms and so I thought fair enough it's a bug in 4.3

I was on this rom 2 weeks ago with zero issues and said I would go back to it.

I full wiped everything 3 times and I mean EVERYTHING.

I installed lite version like before and went through setup wizard.

My apps started downloading as they should and no issues until the odd app would fail and would download once I restarted download.

Then 3 quarter way through my 70 odd app downloads I get error for the last 20 odd apps and that's it. Can't download apps since keep getting error 920

I have done the usual nonsense of

Clear data play store

Clear data play services

Clear service framework

Remove Google account

Reboot

Add account

Login accept terms blah blah blah

And absolutely none of it is helping.

It's getting worse as days go buy and can't figure it out.

Sorry for long post but need to get this sorted as it is seriously pissing me off now lol :(

Thanks :)

What version of play store are you using?

Try to manually update to latest version

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505 mit Tapatalk 4
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Unfortunately you have already tried the one "solution" that seems to work for most... Removing your google info, rebooting and resigning in...

Try this, since you have nothing to lose... After you do the "usual ritual" (clearing cache and data for google framework services, google playservices and google playstore), manually replace your Phonesky.apk from System/app with this one from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2227787 Change permissions to wr-r-r . Reboot, re-add your google account and im crossing my fingers that you will succeed....

This used to happen to me on the Note2 whenever i would use a multi-dpi PlayStore (or an Inverted one...). But the "usual ritual" would fix it... Do you have any idea the 4.3 Roms you were on, if the PlayStore was of this sort at all? Just having some thoughts and i need to eliminate various possibilities...

Faux 123 is pretty good too.. But i always had issues with the values sticking (it has its own kernel app), so before i knew it i would be running my phone on 2.1 ghz and wonder why pacman is eating my battery ;) Again, that's my experience and it shouldnt discourage you from flashing it (yeah, like you needed encouragement to FLASH!!!) :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reflexr:
Yeah, but they didn't bricked their phones. They were just to stupid to follow the instructions.

That's what im "screaming" in every thread i see the "Adam kernel killed phones" rumor that has taken a life of its own... It's so sad that one of the BEST KERNELS EVER was ruined b/c of 2 _______. And you are right, and that's what i kept saying from the beginning!!! THEY DIDNT EVEN BRICK THEIR PHONES.... At least now we have the exact people so that we can send them congratulatory messages :rolleyes:

Thanks guys. It gets weirder after getting fed up of getting nowhere I went to bed with apps still getting 920 error.

Wake up this morning and everything is perfect. I downloaded rest of the apps without any errors or without them getting stuck on downloading.

I'm absolutely baffled lol???
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
You are right to be baffled!! :D It sucks and i think its what many users say in situations like this... That it's a random bug that it fixes itself....

Somthing weird last night.

Had about 5 percentage battery.

In around 21:00 I plugged in the device into charging.

Fell asleep at around 22:00 :D:eek::o.

Woke up gently to the beautiful sound of my baby son's screams... It was around 2 am.

My device was still plugged in and had 92% battery.... :what:

I looked at the stock battery graph and it wasn't as steep as usual.

I unplugged the device and plugged back, and it seems that it went faster from 92 to 100. I'm not sure. I was tired.

I'm using Adam 1.5 at the moment.

We'll see how it goes next charge...

I'll probably go anyway on the famous ausdim v11 in a day or 2 and check it out... ;)

I read somwhere that if you was on a version with 4.3 and you go back to 4.22 there can be issues wit your phone.
