Second one booted fine for me, wiped cache and dcache after i flashed the kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] buckmarble:
The OC one booted for you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
No sorry i meant the one with the ram disc change
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
My SD card is being read fine on the same kernel your on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mayze23:
Strange. What size SD card are you using? I'm using a 64gb. I flashed back to Darkslide kernel and it reads it.

I'll try flashing it again later on and see if it will work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] buckmarble:
since the kernel is completely being redone, if the 64gb card is formatted in exFat, i still need to add that functionality.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
This put me in a endless loop from the custom screen to the samsung screen.... Would not go past the samsung screen. I had another kernel saved so I just flashed that and everything's back to normal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
New No oc kernel seems pretty fast/smooth slightly less battery life perhaps and a tiny bit more heat. Nothing worrisome.... Just trying to provide some feedback.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swgamez:
Quick question does the new kernel requires battery pull if charging while phone is off?

Thank you in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
Yes. I checked that. Battery pull required. I could not get new ramdisk to boot so I'm not sure about that kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] buckmarble:
I have a fix for this. I'll get it out in the next day or so. The OC is what is giving me so many issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swgamez:
Thank You We appreciate your hard work:good:

Hey no rush, but is the new kernel still on the works? Day or two turned to a week or two. Just curious...

Rooted S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
Has development on the kernel ceased? Is this a dead thread now?

Rooted S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] buckmarble:
Gates and I have the project about done. Its not me7 though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
Can you elaborate when you say it's not me7. I was curious to see if the kernel issue was ever fixed.

Rooted S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] buckmarble:
Yes I figured out the charger when powered off issue. No have not updated the tw kernel. Our other project has consumed my extra time. When I say not me7 it means not touch wiz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swgamez:
Thanks for the hard work.

Any chances of updating the kernel soon?

in my opinion your kernel is the best for the me7 build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] droidgyrl6:
Is anyone having a problem with freezing while scrolling on the stock browser??? The page just kinda sticks and i have to hit refresh in order to get it working again. Seems like an issue with smart stay/scroll. This happens with the fixed kernel Gates posted as well the elite kernel (no oc) posted a few pages back. Any ideas on how to fix it... other than download another browser???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] buckmarble:
I have a new kernel built if someone would like to PM me to test. I do not have my s4 with me and will not have access to it for a while and i dont have TW on it to test so you will be first to try and boot it.

We're you running a custom kernel by chance? If so you need to navigate to system/lib/modules and delete them. Then flash new kernel.

Awesome! Gonna give it a go.

Question: if we are not really using are phone doesn't it shut down some of the cores? Right now all of my cores are going with all of them bouncing at least up to 900 (not at same time but have seen 3 at a time) and killed apps + cleared ram and waited to see if it would calm down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] buckmarble:
They will bounce up and down. I disabled mp decision by default because it does a horrible job of hotplugging. Let me know if you have any really bad battery drain
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joeyx2:
So far it don't look any better or any worse. I think my battery is dieing. Have been only able to get around 10 hours no matter what rom/kernel. Seems like the only way to get more hours is to not use my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mayze23:
Runs smooth on Hyperdrive 9.1 but won't read my 64gb sdcard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdub251:
Dude honestly. This is the best custom kernel I've ran on my phone. It's smooth and the battery so far has been phenomenal. I can tell just by using the phone. Just outta the box it's better than stock. I'm going to undervolt and post some screenies tomorrow. I'm running Bonestock also. Great combo.

Just curious....will this rom be updated to I545VRUDMI1? If not, no big deal but it would be nice to know if it's going to be updated or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobby janow:
This was my favorite rom in its day but it's not been updated, changed or talked about much in over a month. It's too bad but that's how things go around here. I wonder if the OP even has this phone any longer. I'm still running a stock rom based off this and clean.. kind of a hybrid. But it's still TW and stock. I'm sure someone will pull the MI1 apart and post it for us MDK people.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ViperGeek:
Thanks for the continued support of this Elite Kernel. I definitely appreciate it.

I've been running this kernel since about the time you posted it and have run into two odd issues:

The System (PID 0) and Android System (system_server, PID 895) processes seem to constantly be using about 1% of the CPU time each

Rebooting into TWRP recovery requires pulling the battery

Getting into recovery via either the 4-way power button or vol. up+power after a shutdown causes the TWRP screen to display then freeze. Pulling the battery, reinserting it, then using vol. up+power works every time.

I just upgraded to the 10-12-2013 Elite Kernel, but I don't think either of the above issues are related to exFAT libraries.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gatesjunior:
It will cause major issues, I would NOT install anything on your phone until they have a root exploit for the newest release... If you are running the newest release you have to wait until a root exploit has been discovered and posted..

I really love this new rom.....but man....all of the pop-up spam. I went into rom manager and I was hit with spam on some lucky 7 spam....lol...I know its not anyones fault its just funny running stock kind of.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
Thanks Gates for posting this!

However, I don't understand all the raving about it being faster and smoother. I did a complete wipe and fresh install. It seemed the same as the previous build to me. I think the stutter when exiting out of certain apps may have been improved but nothing to write home about.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkhorn:
Here is a screen shot of the About page and the message upon opening the camera app showing that it is upgrading the firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
Well I for one am impressed!

I feel that it is smoother and more refined.

But again, I always go into Developer settings and drop all animation speeds to 0.5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nazzo123:
I tried it and it worked well! it will reboot and act like it froze on you on the black screen after the samsung boot screen but its just Odexing. It takes about 5 minutes so go ahead and do it. Method 1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
Just an FYI for anyone that doesn't already know this.

To reboot into recovery just reboot normally and after the shutdown animation finishes hold the volume up button until you see the booting in recovery in the top left corner of your screen.

This is for TWRP but I would imagine it's the same with cwm.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blue79:
This is really good. Works well. If you don't mind me asking i'm curious on what you did to make this work? I've been trying to get E7 to work, but I could never get everything to function correctly at the same time. I even tried using the DK kernal and couldn't get wireless to work. What did you use from the DK base to get this to work so well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Badger50:
That would be awesome my friend. Great Rom Gates, very smooth and runs great with KT's kernal, thank you very much for cooking this up :D

Sent fom my Mobile Beast Device :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gatesjunior:
I absolutely do not mind sharing with you all.. Here is the thing to always remember.. The android base itself is a base standard all devices use. I know this because I have built many roms from the source up, right, AOSP. So with that knowledge and being armed with it, the difference is what ? Obviously the hardware. So, you pull all the necessary vendor files and associated libs, etc.. to support it. Well for us, that was easy, someone installs the OTA and we get the pull from it. Now what ? Well, we know the kernel is the biggest issue. The other thing I know from building from source is that the modules or .ko files go along with that kernel. So logic dictates this. Keep the existing kernel installed and copy the VRUAMDK module files, or .ko files and magic happens :) That is the secret. You cannot mix modules / ko files most of the time from one kernel to the other, especially with major changes or mods induced.. The other thing to keep in mind is they also add additional modules at times, like in the latest OTA that were not meant for the older kernel... Now, could there be some newer modules in the latest OTA that would still work with the older one ? Sure, but not knowing everything they have done and where, to me it was not worth the risk..

So there you all have it. Peace...

Anyone have any luck getting statusbar mods to work? (Aside from tweakbox) ... between music playing, the MTP/USB icon, IME, BT, WiFi, Vibrate, Battery, Time, Eyeball, and 911.... i have literally no statusbar space left. Ridiculous!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nhawk:
I thought one of the fixes in ME7 was that when you reply using Email, it wouldn't blow up the font size.

I did a clean install, replied to an email and the font size in the quote is huge.

Is the email app in this ROM new?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] silverds:
LOL, this is so informative and yet still so cryptic.

Ok I follow you...so far

Rubbing hands together because light bulbs are usually lit when someone mentions what comes next is dictated by logic.

WHAT?? Did he just say "first you POOF! and then you VOILA!" What does he mean? Maybe I need to read on...

Ok, I follow on this bit but still lost on the "POOF! and VOILA! stuff"

Are you saying that while running the VRUAMDK Kernel, (one could) make copies of the VRUAMDK module files, or .ko files to somewhere unspecified....and then something magical happens.

....or are you saying that you used the VRUAMDK ROM /system/lib/modules and copied them into the VRUAME7 ROM /system/lib/modules

But that can't be because you said.....

Please clarify what exactly happens during the magical part.... Much obliged.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthony92170:
thats not updating it happens when you flash new roms . its just telling where shots will be stored.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BeansTown106:
so what you did basically to fix the wifi issue was use the old kernel and modules? thats what it looks like. so basically to have fully working roms we need to inform the kernel devs of this so they can update alot of the kernel stuff to the new base but keep out some of the things that break our wifi. correct me if im wrong. aka there is no way we can use the stock me7 kernel/modules because it kills wifi

Sorry for my stupidity, I read through the whole thread and didn't see anyone ask for clarification so I'm sure I'm just an idiot but....

The new update locks the bootloader which doesn't allow for root correct? So, by installing this it will install the new ota rom(with root) but will not update the bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mayze23:
Isn't the new camera supposed to have the HDR recording option? If it does I can't figure out how to enable it.

I'm loving this ROM btw. Thanks for the work

Yes, you are safe installing this, not stupid at all. I would not want to jack my root either :)

Either, or, yes.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gatesjunior:
That is exactly what I am saying. You will notice, as I am sure you have, that they added additional modules with the new kernel as well. Without us knowing exactly what they have done and induced into the modules / new modules, I played the safe route and leveraged all the advantages of the newest fixes and software on the android side everyone wanted while maintaining the safety and functionality by using the existing kernel and modules..

Bluetooth issue

I have the same bluetooth issue with this ROM as I had with Synergy. It will not pair with my home phone. I get a "cannot communicate with device" message after entering the PIN. Other than that it works fine. Also, don't know if it's been mentioned elsewhere but if you restore a nandroid backup of a previous ROM after trying this the ME7 baseband persists. You have to restore stock and then the backup to get back to MDK if that is what you want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gatesjunior:
Yes, most other devs always have had users odin their baseband files. I think it's because they want to allow them to choose I suppose. But, unless you flash the older baseband back it will of course persist.

Also, the Bluetooth issue you are describing sounds to me that it is device specific. I would contact the manufacturer or look and see if they have a firmware update for the phone or something. I seriously doubt you are the only one having this problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nazzo123:
what do you mean change the permissions? sorry im kind of a noob. I've flashed many roms and kernals but im not sure what that's about. Is it the R/o or R/W thing? if so what do i change it to?

---------- Post added at 08:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

The extended power menu is when you hold down the power button and it gives you a choice to restart or turn off right? I flashed both zips and i dont think anything changed. My multi window is still the same unless is there another app i have to install?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Badger50:
Using your root explorer app. Go into system apps so you can see all the apk's. Go to exposed installer, long press the app until your menu comes up. Select "permissions" then change it to what you see in the picture. Reboot your phone, then you should see the app in your app drawer. Good luck to ya :D
