try it anyway - if its not a rom issue, it has to be kernel, or settings related. if you can change to a known good kernel and settings, you can rule that out and narrow it down a lot.

its not like you cant flash back to your preferred kernel if it doesnt help.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Galaxicos:
Just flashed latest KT kernel and it shows the same problem too :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
did you make sure the settings changed, and that your previous tweaking program didnt over-ride the ktweaker settings?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Galaxicos:
Yep I hadn't tweaked anything before, with the KT kernel I first tried default settings and KT recommended settings afterwards, still the same.

This problem occured when upgrading from Echoe 3.1 to the latest version, before it was working fine. It's kind of strange that heavy duty things like gaming is allright but watching HD video is not.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kage00:
I doubt that it will be echoe rom's choice, I think it will be from samsung, they will deliberatley make their new roms not work with the old bootloaders, it will be a constant game of who can build a new kernel to get the knox fixes worked out - and the xda threads will be full of people saying "I cant get xxxx to work, what is the problem with your rom." When it wont be the rom's problem at all, it will be because samsung are filtering out people with old bootloaders by deliberately putting bugs in that only old bootloader users are getting.

In any case the front end of knox is removed from pretty much all custom roms, the software side I mean. And I would assume that it will be the same with knox 2.0, I guess we'll see soon enough.

I personally think that all of us who are still on the old bootloader are a dying breed, we'll all see soon enough that nobody gives a s**t about the tripped knox flag, and in reality it won't affect us at all if it is tripped. Seriously, when was the last time you flashoholics flashed an old rom? It defies logic, its part of the flashing addiciton to have the latest rom, not to go back to a 2013 rom, don't you think?

This wasn't aimed at you angarato_surion, its just my thoughts in general

;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
wait wait - did you dirty flash, or clean flash? dirty flashing with such a huge version difference would be a bad, bad idea

---------- Post added at 02:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 AM ----------

we're already at that point - and modders already bypassed it. recall how the bootloader had no working sound or wifi, if you flashed back? well custom kernels fixed that, and it stayed fixed.

you are right that eventually it wont matter, for the simple reason that all new or repaired devices will come with KNOX. it will simply be a new generation of devices with voided warranties, until someone takes them to court and forces a change (software changes cant be blamed for a hardware fault, after all)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ken2802:
i am the only one where WIFI Direct wont work?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Galaxicos:
No I did a full wipe. I doubt that anything would work like it does now with a dirty flash :cyclops:

As I said HD 3D gaming works fine, antutu gives a score around 29000, well actually everything I have been able to test is working properly, it's just very, very laggy video playback.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
i dont get it, i really dont. i recorded a 1080p video with my missus yesterday and it played fine in the stock player, and all regular media plays fine in MX player too. the only thing i can think of, is some advanced setting is set really wrong. even underclocked to 1.2GHz i could play back hardware accelerated 1080p files fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] loselvis777:
v18

So do you know when, and witch baseband the v18 it gonna get?:o
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Galaxicos:
Well my friend it's getting stranger. I've downloaded a Full HD 1080p movie on my external SD card, and it's playing very smooth :confused:

So the only problem is with video that is recorded with this device. I tried recording new video's, those have the same issue. I would say maybe there is something wrong with the gallery or camera, but the old video's were playing just fine before. I really don't get it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :

I got question.. What's the difference if your using KT kernel and Adam kernel ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Galaxicos:
Yea I started with that but it didn't made a difference. Tried MX Player too, has the same problem. Could it be a codec issue? Maybe I was to aggresive in removing bloatware with the debloat zip.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bamse84:
Indeed i will ?..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
Hmm, in this case i would dirty flash the ROM again without debloating and see what happens.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] loselvis777:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr.Yawnie:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
Only counts the idea... our ancients had the material to build it, but untill somebody had the IDEA, no weels on earth ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Acer4605:
Personally I don't know much about the Adam's kernel it's stable but it's not tweakable or very difficult to tweak to your personal liking

KT Kernel on the other hand has several tweaks already at hand( you can download them through the included ktweaker app) and you can tweak it more to your personal preferences

Runnin Echoe v17 on i337 with Safestrap = Awesome but no root - Not sure how to fix

I have unlocked ATT i337 S4 (on Tmobile) running safestrap and have been able to get Echoe v17 working great, except that the device does not have root. Since the base was a 4.3 rooted to install Safestrap, I am not sure what to do to try and get this Rom rooted so that all of the great features work. (it is pretty great without the root, but I wouldn't mind getting it back if possible) I have a superSU icon, but it, and any other app that tries to access root can not.

Biggest perk of this rom so far? WAY better battery life, and it made my phone much snappier. If I can get root to work on this safe strap rom, I'd be tickled.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
How do you usually root? There is a zip package in chainfire' s blog for your device? If so , which i think, should be enough to flash it via recovery..

Sorry i don' t know how it works on your locked bootloader and so on..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tuckersmission:
That would be awesome!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andyandmarlys:
I rooted the 4.3 (base) with Saferoot - but that doesn't work on the 4.4.2.

Since my phone is already rooted (needed to get SafeStrap working and installed), I am not sure how to root a rom running on safestrap, and am not really sure why this pre-rooted rom isn't actively rooted now. The challenge for me is how to root something that is already rooted, but isn't rooted in Safestrap's environment.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
I don' t know nothing about the safestrap method.. but regarding a standard install i usually flash the SuperSUupdate.zip from chainfire' s blog.. not sure if it works on safestrap

it's very important that you use the last combination

---------- Post added at 06:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 AM ----------

also add howto flash a modem

answer shut the phone down and use the key combo power on and volume down combination

then flash it in Odin.

before installing a mod or systemUI make sure you create a backup in recovery.

FAQ

As told before, i'm more a reader than a writer. So i read all and implemented fixes and tips posted here where i think its usefull - my phone works nice and my hardware is proud to be an ECHOE Host :cowboy:

But unfortunatelly i did not copy all the usefull settings into one file or remark this - and i have to tell you that after i reinstalled my lovely echoe-host a few day's ago it was a hard work, a real pain to find all the neccessary / usefull things ... :crying:

So sometimes i understand People asking and therefor i would suggest implementing this FAQ where we can link to 4 every question we think that was answered before instead of writting the same again and again and again....

I would also be proud to help with that and i think it would be extraordinary and helpfull - 4u and for all of us !!

oh and since i was asked:

Modem Updating FAQ:

How do i update my 3G/GSM modem?

Turn off your phone, remove battery for 30 seconds. Hold power+volume down + home until phone boots into download mode.

*DO NOT REBOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE FROM WITHIN YOUR ROM*.

Flash the modem.bin file using ODIN 3.07 in the "PHONE" slot

OR

Flash the modem.bin file using ODIN 3.09 (or newer) in the "CP" slot

The same applies to your LTE/4G modem, except its non-HLOS.bin

You should not update your 4G/LTE modem newer than your baseband/bootloader - For example a 4.4 LTE modem on a 4.2 (KNOX free) bootloader will break your sound and/or wifi until you flash back.

For the above reason you should beware files that include both modem files, and try to stick with "GSM modem only" files.

If you're trying to install philz via the stock recovery, you definitely can't do that. You need a custom recovery to install a custom recovery or you can do it via odin. You need the .tar file if you install it via odin.
