ext4 only? Mine is Fat32 - formatted it to that recently to support other custom kernels - does this one really only support ext4? Getting tired of doing the sd card format...

I've searched the kernel thread and it says ext4 support, but doesn't mention that FAT32 is not supported...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] buckmarble:
My kernel uses the same ram disk(this is where the support is) as kt(slightly modified for my kernel cpu/gpu freqs) so if you get the support on ktoonsez kernel youll get it on mine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Thanks for the quick reply - I've never used KT's kernel, just been on the stock kernel. Folks using it say that his does support FAT32, so I guess I'll have to flash the elite kernel to confirm support.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] buckmarble:
I dont have A sdcard bigger than 16gb to test all the formats on nor do I want to format it any more than the next guy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
LOL...we feel the same pain. :)

I was hoping that someone using your kernel would have reported results w/a FAT32 formatted card.

Backing up and flashing shortly!

Split boot.lok?

I would like to pull apart the new boot.lok, but the existing tools to do so don't seem to work on LOKI'd boot.img. Is there a way to pull it apart, or is there source posted somewhere for the ramdisk as opposed to loading it up in order to take a look?

so let me get this straight in order to get pip and smart stay to work we have to use the kernel posted?

Yes.

This might be a crazy question, but is any body else having a charging problem on the new kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Firemedic:
No charging problem however there is a definite difference in battery drain. Instead of 2.5%/hr I am losing around 6%/hr and I have changed

Any way to get infinite scrolling of the home screen and app drawer again?

Here you go. Place in in /system/apps, reboot, all set.

I believe you can edit system/csc/feature.xml true to false on diable page rotation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] droidgyrl6:
My hero! (lol) Thx a bunch!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scorp123:
Ya I have no idea how to do this....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] droidgyrl6:
It's pretty easy... you just need Root Explorer (or something similar). Navigate to system...then csc...then feature.xml (long press and choose open in text editor) and scroll all the way to the bottom; change DisablePageRotation to false and reboot!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scorp123:
I still don't know what field to edit to fix home screen and app drawer scrolling but I did find a setting to get the shutter sound toggle back in the camera app!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joeyx2:
Thanks! Any way to make it rotate to landscape?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] droidgyrl6:
Ha! Now, THAT may be a little outta my scope. I just know the easy stuff! ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scorp123:
This worked, thank you very much!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mikekid7:
Does anyone have the kernel that came with this rom originally. I flashed the one that fixes smart scroll and now im having reboot issues. Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gatesjunior:
Something else has to be causing that...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mikekid7:
Nothing else was changed but the kernel.

Question. I flashed this rom on 7/24 and am running it with faux kernel. I do not use the scrolling feature so I cannot tell you if it works but I use air gestures and they work just fine. Is there any difference in the new rom build or is it just the kernel? Would there be any advantage to flashing it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
The kernel wasn't changed / included in the rom. If you want to revert back because you added the one from the op you need to flash the stock one for mdk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mikekid7:
So a MDK kernel was packaged with this rom. Thanks for the info.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
I dint think the ROM was changed, he just added a separate zip for the new kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] buckmarble:
Those of you seeing extra battery drain flash back to the mdk modem and see if it makes a difference for you. Link: http://projectelite.net/actngrezy/Gs4/modem_FLASHABLE_MDK.zip

Thanks. This will flash in recovery, or is ODIN required?

And do you have a link to a flashable zip to go back to the ME7 modem after trying MDK? I mean recovery flashable, if that is possible on this phone, I'm aware of the ODIN files here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43439450. [I could flash radios on my GNexus from recovery, not sure if that's an option on the S4.

Is there a mod to add record to the phone dialer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scottusa2008:
Yes there is, and it looks like it was updated for the ME7 build (had to remove part of my original reply because I just saw that).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2340255

**Edit - I didn't have much luck with the ME7 version of the secphone record mod (for themed dialers). I am currently using Gadgets dark themed dialer and when I applied the secphone mod I linked above the signal/data indicator at the top vanished, dialer and phone settings both crashed. Of course it says it is for a deodexed rom and I am not sure if darkslide's rom is deodexed or not (as far as secphone.apk record mod is concerned).

Just be sure to use the odex version (the deodexed one gave me some issues). The odex version does work and I just tried it. Sounds a little better then the MDK version (but that may just be how I am hearing it). Only catch is that if you gadgets! dark themed dialer then the call recording mod will cause the dialer to revert to it's stock white color.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cjkacz:
Weird question. I when using Maps the GPS shows my exact location but Weatherbug and Accuweather show me in a town 50 miles from here. I have reset all the settings, made sure location services are correct and rebooted. Is this a rom issue or a kernel issue? I am using faux kernel.

Update

Not a kernel issue. Problem exists with different kernels. Ughhh

Update 2

If I turn off Wifi the phone has trouble locating me. In fact it has me at the location that the weather app does. If I turn Wifi back on then Maps shows me at home.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 4freese:
Oh they are definitely on, just not working. It's weird. When I first install the rom they work. But after a while they just stop working. It seems like my screen is of but the device isn't sleeping? Does this quick preview only work when device is sleeping?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] buckmarble:
Ive had the rom installed going on 2days. Everything still working. Did you wipe? Which recovery are you using?

Using CWM recovery. I may switch to TWRP and see if that works. It only seems like my quick preview isn't working but everything else does. I had it wrong. I cannot wave my hand and then the screen on, which I use allot because my hands are always dirty from working in the shop.

Just wanted to report that I am having Wi-Fi issues. Clean install with smart eye removal mod/Wi-Fi notification mod only. My phone will connect to Wi-Fi and then disconnect itself randomly multiple times.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
I would try removing the mods and see if you still have the issue.

If not add them back one at a time and see if one of them is causing your issue.

I have been running this rom since the day it was posted and since I work from home I am always on wifi.

I have never had an issue with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
Are you not running any mods/custom kernel? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
I am running the kernel posted on the 1st page and I am running a "remove wifi notification" mod that was posted in this thread.

I am also running exposed framework with nottach.

But now wifi issues.

Can I flash the Rom and pip and smart stay kernel fix all in the same recovery session? Or should I flash Rom, restart phone, go back to recovery and then flash kernel fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theresin:
It is usually advised to wait until after the initial boot before flashing a different kernel. You don't have to set the ROM up, but I would give it five to ten minutes before returning to recovery (to finish the behind the scenes optimizations). I've done it both ways without issue, but I try to stick to flashing one (and only one) mod/change per session just to be on the safe side!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkhorn:
The proper way would be to install the rom, let it boot up and settle in and then flash the kernel fix. Me, I would probably cash both back to back and take my chances knowing that if it doesn't work I would have to start over and do it right :) but that is just me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] snarlytaz:
Just works

Love this rom. I have been using since released. Full wipe and flashed via TWRP on still rooted MDK. I have not found issues like others. I am also on KT Kernel. This rom fixed my smart stay and scroll / quick glance work fine. Wifi works too but note below. I have tested through all camara features and they all seem to work too.

My device:

Again full wipe before installed

xposed and nottach working fine but using only a couple mods - because:

3minit 2.6 also installed and works very well - most image / lockscreen mods done via this

16gb sd formatted via device

- Obviously I have to be careful between mods selected via nottach and 3minit

Bottom line with KT even it all seems to just work

Only mod I havent tried yet is Wifi notification removal or tether hack but that is next. Hope they dont end up being root cause for breaking.

I do feel touch response in Dolphin is slower when I use it. Dont know cause yet. Maybe its the version. Page loads or refresh seem slower to complete which I think causes the reponse issues.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joeyx2:
From my understanding this is just like any other rom. Once you wipe system and data etc. etc. Just flash what you want to. It's no different then flashing a asop rom then wiping and flashing a tw rom.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Thanks very much for your work on this! I have some confusion despite reading up on the update. Was there a kernel update with the OTA? If so, is that included in your ROM? I understand the baseband will be updated on flashing, so that's a plus. But in your OP on the other forum you indicate that people who took the OTA have a locked down kernel. I'm wondering if you meant their updated bootloader?

I'm not new to the community, but just want some clarification on the differences between your ROM and the OTA. Thanks :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nazzo123:
nope its working fine with me man. you must have installed a app that interfered with your contacts. Just do a clean wipe and install again you should be fine. I use GOSMS and it works on there too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joeyx2:
Tweakbox + xposed seem to work for me. Just skipped track with volume buttons in lockscreen.

Edit: ok! gonna start by saying i didn't reboot before installing xposed. i had tweakbox and greenify installed and checked in modules. after reboot on start up it seemed to look like the apps i had in greenif did not show up in nova homescreens. the ctr animation i guessing won't work cause in the post for it, it said it needed a certain script which again i'm guessing we don't have. also it seems like it takes a long time for the apps that are on the sd card (for me) load slowly on reboot (manly go sms). also when trying to go into recovery it seemed a little different (twrp 2.5.0.2). it was the same but seemed like the timing to let go of power button is diffferent or something. im gonna do a wipe and reinstall and start over but that's just what i have experienced so far. i'm a first timer on the ME7 update. i didn't even try once i heard that wifi didn't work on the other one.

great job gatesjunior! can't wait till this starts getting around in the dev community and they can start getting this bad boy going strong!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gunthermic:
Come on guys/gals.. really?

1. OP didn't state this it was compatiable.

2. Xposed, you should be asking in their thread.. Is Not the OP's theme/mod.

3. Xposed is writen to certain frameworks. OP just released this ROM a few hours ago.

If a user chooses to flash things that OP's doesn't say it works, or flash things that are written to other ROM/version, you take the chance of breaking your own system...

Xposed was updated to work with MDK... this is ME7... wrong base... Some stuf might work by chance, but good dang chance you also break something that ME7 base has working...

Nice Work this is running smooth for me thanks man:thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
I don't want to start a pissing war, so don't take this as an attack-back, OK? :)

OP hasn't gone through (nor should any ROM dev be expected to) an exhaustive test of every mod/update/tweak that has been released for the S4, so the lack of a compatibility statement is normal and doesn't indicate anything either way. Hearing actual results from folks using this ROM w/exposed is best done here, where those ROM/xposed users are - as you note, some things may work, others may not, and the actual "I tried-it" results are very useful. I think we're all aware that all of this stuff is at our own risk, from flashing the ROM through any mods we may try on it, and it is very useful to the community to share that info here in the ROM thread, rather than in dozens of threads across different forums...

Thanks for your summary statement about xposed and MDK vs. ME7, makes sense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Southern_mind:
Really 4.3? This is Touchwiz. The only way you are going to get 4.3 is a custom aosp rom and from Samsung as another update. Knowing Samsung and Verizon that will take a long time.

No pissing contest.. Some questions were asked if it worked, not has anyone flashed it, what were results. That is why my statement sir.

However my statement of this needs to be brought up to the OP of Xposed..

Good luck and hope it doesnt break the framework.. one never knows..
