Everyone with old bootloader and on 4.4 try KT's new kernel
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Kappa Lamda:
Is there any specific reason... my phone runs smoothly with jeebo's one and has greater battery life than v12.1 with KT's. Ok of course one rom is based on 4.3 and the other one on 4.4 but is there any big reason to try an new kernel that we are not aware of?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] climo:
Very glad to see this thread is back to normal again! :good: I was getting worried there for a moment! This thread has a peaceful demeanor with everyone eager to help one another compare to other threads here on XDA and its a nice change. We are all flashaholics and seem to love the same music ....been a rock fan since birth listening to Hendrix, Marley, Van Halen and of course Zeppelin.Someone mentioned Queen and will never forget seeing Mercury strutting around on stage when singing 'We are the Champions' .

Thanks again everyone this thread ROCKS in many ways. Keep up the good work Friedrich and Saywhatt you make a good team.

No rush on the next update..take your time and have a great vacation. Now off to flash something my fingers are itching again :p....maybe try Adam kernel...hehe

Downloaded the the Adam Kernel from your Link but it wouldnt flash. I hope i am right that it is a zip for the recovery
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
It is a .zip file for recovery... Try this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tzlvtc7hhhs9n26/GT-I9505_AdamKernel.V1.5.CWM.zip

If no one will be asking for, that Great kernel will stay obsoleted, maybe it helps to revert Wanam decision of stopping it development too..

Well, to be honiest, I think i'm one of the oldest here (51 in november :p ) but I remember very well that, when I was 13 yrs old, i've heard AC/DC fot the first time and BANG, i was sold!

Big fan since then.

My other favorites are the Ramones and Metallica.

Just to say that age isn't that big issue haha :highfive:

hi folks... first of all, Friedrich, my respect to you that you've got the Guts to apologize openly and for being brave enough to act like a human. yes, your reaction was emotional, emotions are human...and everyone has got the right for being human! great to read that you've decided to continue this project!

now my question ..i've got a problem with deactivating the bluetooth service. every time i've paired a device via bluetooth, and i try to deactivate the BT Service after use, the S4 won't complete the job. it hangs by trying to stop the service until i do a reboot. if i pair the same device again and try to deactivate the service it hangs again, all the time. anyone around who's facing the same behaviour? I've tried a lot to make it work, inclusive a full wipe and a clean install, without any app's or restoring something. i'm completely clueless what's wrong. I've tried the normal and the lite version, same behavior...regardless wich one i tried. on other roms it works, but i'd like to use this one ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chadman4:
For some reason, I think I've caught the flashing sickness. I can't stop flashing ROMs.

Just today I flashed Foxhound and Android HD. But tonight, I still went back to this wonderful Echoe ROM..

This is really one of the best, if not the best. I'm really happy that it will not be discontinued.

My friend first of all thank you for your kind words!! :)

About the issue you are facing, im gonna have to ask for other users' feedback if they are facing a similar problem, because I tested it as soon as i saw your post. I paired it with my wife's zopo phone (a chinese "high end") and it paired, exchanged file and was able to turn off bluetooth normally without problem...

Led Zeppelin is definitely in the Top 5 of all time imo

Btw sth a bit OT: These are from the newest playstore... It changed a bit... This is the "inverted multi dpi version" thats why the colors are like that and the dpi is set @ 450...

I am on V15, and on old bootloader. I use Swiftkey for keyboard though, and i still loves it A LOT more than stock keyboard.

And your second question. You are right in all :)

Oh and. Flashing the new bootloader, will give you a new counter, called the KNOX counter. Once you trigger that counter Flashing/Rooting, it CAN NOT EVER be reset again. It is an e-FUSE. One´s it go from 0x0 to 0x1, it can never be 0x0 again. In another words. You will void your gurantee permently. Personally, i am staying with the old bootloader, and many others are as well. If we just wait a little, new kernels will come, that will work a lot better on old bootlaoders,

---------- Post added at 09:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

I would also like to know why we should switch to KT kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Kappa Lamda:
Thank you... I am aware of knox counter and that is the reason staying this long to old bootloader! But i am close to make the big decision and let it go and of course lose my warranty. 8 months with S4. If it had a problem related to the manufacturer, it would have occured

So if I am on the old old no knox MGA bootloader, I can flash V16 in recovery and choose custom kernel. This will not add knox to my device and it will work? Did I get it right?

What is best to do here, flash new or use the old one.

Thanks for great rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Acer4605:
I noticed after the initialisation that the phone connected automaticly to the hotspot

cleared history and user settings and turned on airplaine mode

this is how I solved it

go to settings => More =>Applications

search for google play and clear cache and history

search for download manager clear cache and history

in order to check if this failure was linked to wifi or just data I only enabled data transmission

playstore started to download and everything went well

after that enabled wifi and (made sure that I was logged on the hotspot by entering my credentials) disabled data transfert and checked if it was possible to download something from the store which was the case.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ZeroxTechnic:
It works fine for me? Did you flash the whole modem package? Because that would ruin your wifi. You have to extract it, and then ONLY flash modem.bin file
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] leoniedelt:
Everything works fine for me. And i find jeboo's kernel gets excellent battery life - almost back to what i was getting on 4.2. Well done Echoe Team!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Kappa Lamda:
Did you changed the value in a line on build. prop?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] pavelcheto:
So flashed the modem and flashed again the ROM (tried both custom kernels) wifi still won't turn on. MEA no knox bootloader.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ZeroxTechnic:
And you are extracting the "modem package" and only flashing the modem.bin with Odin 3.0.9, using the CP setting. Plus the first time you do it you untick "auto reboot", reboot manually into download mode again, (WITHOUT BOOTING UP THE PHONE), and flash the modem.bin once more using CP, and this time auto reboot ticked?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mkhattat:
Hi thanks for your work.

I can't download the new bootloader and modem. The links are probably dead.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ZeroxTechnic:
[MENTION=3959939]pavelcheto[/MENTION]

BTW flash the ROM first, and then the modem. i had a similar thing going on earlier. If the above thing don't work, there is one thing that certainly will.

Download a stock ROM, flash it, and then install the ROM. This is also referred to as a "Deep Clean"

I recommend downloading from Sammobile.com
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
yay, AFH is working with my download accelerator... i'll have V16 within an hour :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ZeroxTechnic:
Cool! I can allready tell you it's awesome! Only bug i see with old bootloader, is the lockscreen options. On V15 i had probelms with audio. When i touched the wrench, and the audio settins should expand, nothing happened. It works in V16!!! :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
i did see that bug with the audio options being hidden, which was weird. at least once it did work, then other times it didnt.

pity about lockscreen options, do they have one like the GE lockscreen with the 'ring' ? i ask only because of torch options gravitybox and such have, but dont exist for samsungs default lockscreen (hold ring for torch was waaaaaay better than 'screen on, screen off, hold volume up')
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ZeroxTechnic:
Well. With xposed torch i don't have to turn the screen on. With the screen of, i can just hold the volume up, and it turns on. BTW this also didn't workfor me in V15, but in V16 it does.

One thing i am sorry about, is that the screen recording option Gravity box have, only create corrupted videos for me :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
oh ok, that was a v15 bug?

basically what would happen for me (this happend on 4.3 as well) is that after the screen was off for over a minute, the torch function wouldnt work via volume up without waking the phone up and turning the screen off prior to using it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ZeroxTechnic:
For me on V15 i could only use the feature once. nd i would have to restart the phone. No i can turn it on and off, as long as i want, witout turning on th edisplay once! You have a lot to look forward to in V16 xD

Btw got to go now^^ Be back in some hours :)

pretty cool rom. no problems so far.

but i have two little questions.

1. is it possible to get note 3 file manager working on v16?

2. after activated wanam exposed the question mark on german keyboard has been moved to "."-button. how can i change that. in this case its less comfortable for me to type messages

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] scratch420:
yeah, same thing

flashed without updating on na5 even without installing modem. wifi works, didnt have any crashes yet

the only thing I installed note 3 TW and when I swipe from dock panel it says application not installed and opens googplay store with nothing on it except Retry

is there any way to change it to open app I want?

Quick question.

can I flash the new bootloader and new modem at the same time? or shuld i flash it separately using odin?

thanks!

odin 3.09

bootloader = BL

modem = CP

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] whitesnake:
dirty flashed v16 over v15, everything ok except I've got no connection to the pc, through the usb cable, though I've reinstalled both kies3 and usb drivers

btw: new bl and modem flashed before v16
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
If you or anyone for that matter reads about issues with v16 is 100% BOOTLOADER RELATED!!! I mean its so clear in OP that old b/l will have issues and yet 10 pages after release i keep reading about that... no wonder im not coming in here...

sooo, now that that is out of the way.... if you are on new b/l try the stocks first... imo they usually have better battery... you need the NB8 Modem though

And about the issues some of you had with play store this morning? Have you tried with another phone b4 you jump into the conclusion that it was the rom? Prob not... For a fact i couldnt get nothing out of Playstore with my Note 3 all morning and no emails from gmail... I guess i have an Echoe on that too though so who knows ....

Im asking for reports of REAL BUGS from people who are on the new bootloader please!!!

I cant keep reading this... way too demoralizing.... i dont know how many of you can understand that....

Like I said before my friend the rom is amazing, and Yes I might have jumped into conclusions that the playstore app was corrupted and didn't think that it might have been the connection to the playstore itself that was causing these errors. I apologize for that My Bad.

But I never thought it was Rom related just the app that might have had a wrong bit somewhere.

And now my friend get some rest and enjoy the sweet Victory because to my Knowledge you are the only def who provides 2 or 3 kernels in each release.

I'm still on old bootloader using v16 and ktoonz kernel no issues found yet EVERYTHING including wifi working.

Incidentally I'm LOVING the aroma installer!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] leoniedelt:
Wanted to add that the Aroma installer made this a fabulously easy install, and not so much bloat to strip out later. Very awesome!

Still working well, 6 hours and counting. Excellent battery life so far!!

(am on new boobloader, flashed the new modem/non-hlos first, then wiped with philz, then ran the Aroma installer and wiped again, and installed fresh. and not one single problem from the beginning, not a hitch. )

When you follow those instructions, it works very well, and all of Friedrich's roms always work very well when you start with a clean slate. If you "dirty" flash, you run the risk of old settings messing summat up. It really isnt brain surgery...
