So are you (is anyone else) successfully using ktoonsez' kernel with this ROM? I was not successful.

I LOVE the ktoonsez kernel; with his recommended tweaks, I've gained about 30-40% additional battery life; but, with ktoonsez' kernel:

- PIP camera does not work

- Video at 720p doesn't work

- Smart Stay / Smart ___ doesn't work

This ROM, with the recommended kernel, addresses the items above, and seems to run nicely, but doesn't equal the battery performance and 'easy customization' capability of KT's kernel.

Observations:

- When I loaded this ROM I could flash KT's kernel, but I couldn't get to KTweakter, the utility necessary to implement the kernel tweaks (it FC'ed whenever launched).

Interested if anyone has successfully flashed ktoonsez and gotten Ktweaker to work on this ROM

The ME7 radio seems funky.

- On stock kernel, with ME7 ROM, the power drain seemed to increase (I didn't measure on KT's kernel).

- After not being able to use KT's kernel, I restored a nandroid back up of my Stock-debloated MDK rom. The baseband still was ME7 though. I thought I'd just leave it alone, but using the ME7 radio, the charge rate felt slower. Sure enough when I tested current using the OEM charger and cable, the input showed 1100ma (normally 1700-1900ma); flashing back to the MDK modem immediately fixed this. Conclusion: ME7 baseband messes with consumption/charging rate, but not sure if that's only on MDK Rom or both MDK and ME7.

Would be interested in other's experiences with ME7 basebad in terms of power consumption and charge rate?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] paulg1981:
Might be time for a Odin flash to stock MDK. I am on ME7 radio and this rom using 7-24 kt kernel and I do not have any of the issues you are describing. Smart stay works, ktweaker works, etc. Not sure what to tell you to try than starting over. If you are using twrp you might give it a good wipe with cwm and try again. I used to get all kinds of weird issues with twrp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] buckmarble:
Just so you guys are aware I designed my kernel to be able to tweak using trickster or other free apps in the market. There is a lot of stuff in the ktweaker app that won't work with my kernel. Ktweaker was made for kt kernel. Same goes for my aosp kernel. Designed to work out of the box with built in apps like performance control in aokp. I wanted it to be more universal
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Capp5050:
Thanks for the data point. it's helpful to know that the combination is working for someone; otherwise I probably would have given up on it; now maybe I'll give it another try.

btw, I am using CWM.

Question about Rom

how can we flash this rom with VRUAME7? the bootloader is locked. is there some way to still install TWRP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BigJermZ:
Yes...I will attempt again tonight. I'm using twrp as the recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tada10:
This is only for the ones that didn't update yet and are on MDK. If you have ME7 already with locked bootloader then all you can get is root.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theresin:
No, if you took the update from Verizon (or your phone came already updated) you cannot, as of yet, install a custom recovery. The developers have attained root, but that is all.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Yes, with the stock kernel.

No, with the Elite kernel in the OP that fixes the PIP camera and airstay, etc, that kernel supports FAT32 and ext4.

---------- Post added at 07:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 AM ----------

It did, unless the ROM flash was not successful. You just missed the update message the first time you launched the camera, it's pretty subtle.

Anyone using a circle battery mod with this and if so could you please post a link to it?

Another question is exfat better than fat32 and I have a 32gb sdcard should I use fat32 or exfat
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pr1meSuspect:
This is a question best answered by a Google search. FAT32 has more support so compatibility with it shouldn't be an issue. If you search, people tend to prefer exfat. Especially if you want to transfer files over 4GB...which isn't that common anyways. Google it and you'll find better explanations.

Except it's wrong, or at least not specific enough. The max volume size for fat32 is not 32 GB. It's only 32 GB when formatted by the native Windows formatting app.

If there is no toggle would I just use sqlite to add it?

Right. That was the first link from a google search. I recommend formatting to ext4 which much more widely supports larger volumes if you need support for 4gb files or larger. Also better recognized by linux distros but not as readily readable in windows.

I also flashed this over the original zip. The e911 icon does NOT appear with maps open and gps turned off. It appears as though the e911 icon appears while your gps location is being fixed. Once your location is fixed, the e911 icon turns into the proper gps lock icon.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scottusa2008:
Don't believe that is possible... There are at least two reasons why:

1.) I might be mistaken (or missing information, so anyone chip in if necessary) but that is pretty much what was done here with darkslide's rom. He gave us ME7 rom but kept the MDK bootloader so we can use custom recoveries. The custom kernel they provided for this rom was to fix some oddities as the result of using the MDK bootloader and the ME7 rom. If gatesjunior used the MDK kernel previously (and then had to use a custom kernel) in his rom it was because to use an ME7 kernel without issue you would need to have the ME7 bootloader and ME7 rom. This makes the most sense why he didn't use the ME7 kernel since his rom was built using the ME7 update, and he would have had access to the ME7 kernel already.

2.) Even though they did manage to find a way to root ME7 it only gives the ability to root phones, it does nothing to the bootloader at all. As of yet they do not have a way to bypass/unlock the ME7 bootloader, so those who are using ME7 bootloader can not use custom recoveries.

Can we dirty flash if on the stock ROM w/ root and recovery? I do not have an SD card installed.

I don't want to wipe my phone (lazy ;) ). The only mods to my phone are the WiFi and Google wallet and of course root and recovery.

Can I flash overtop of my current setup? I assume I don't need an SD card. Just do a backup, wipe davlick, and flash ROM. Right?

I assume I'll have to redo the persistant WiFi notification removal again.

Am I correct on all of this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bgolden84:
you are completely changing the base it's strongly recommend to do a full wipe. you have a $700 phone you could easily purchase a $15 SD card lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JewRican:
LOL!!! I just never needed the space so i never cared to get one. An SD is not required to do the update right?

The current ROM is the same base that shipped with the phone and the update is one they laid overtop of it and it does a no wipe update. Is there any reason why this would be any different?

That is why I ask. I cant see why it would need a wipe coming from the stock ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bgolden84:
the base is different. read the post. all the mods had to be redone. although it's still touchwiz it's not the same base. if you don't do a full wipe prior to install it's very likely to cause issues. only way to find out is to do it. but I would not do it personally with out a full wipe.

If you don't factory reset you will not have the wifi toggle. You never need to flash any rom over top of a rom with wallet installed. You always need to reset wallet or it could cause issues reinstalling. It will not be in app drawer anyways due to overwriting system partition. Even if you dirty flash. This is stock. You will have to flash any "mods".

Camera issue

I tried posting this earlier, but fubar'ed it somehow.

Anyway, having issue with the camera, and not sure if this is just my phone, of if others experience this as well, but here goes:

When in camera, if I tap the settings (upper left cog) and then the microphone button, the camera crashes. This happens all the time.

Also, I cannot for the life of me find a way to turn off the shutter and focus sounds in the camera. I know I was able to do it in every other ROM, but cannot find that toggle in the app anywhere.

Would someone please point me in the right direction? I would appreciate it.
