Well the transparent status bar mod still makes it so that the bar is black when not in the home screen, i.e. All apps, so i don't think it really makes any difference what color the status bar is. And besides, I see no burn in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Good info,

thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andreiantal:
Latest KT kernel has a little bit of lag using recommended settings mostly visible in the app drawer but it is a lot better than previous versions. Elite kernel works pretty well for me though. I also tried faux but on that one camera pip doesn't work. Thank you for this awesome rom and for the time spent building this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rwc95:
I had the same problem on the latest KT kenel, but I was loading his recommended settings from a backup on my sd card. Make sure you load defaults for the kernel then go back and set his recommended settings this fixed my lag on the app drawer. The reason is the settings are different you only set a few settings recommended by KT but the default settings are different per kernel release. So when I was loading my settings backup from an earlier kernel it was changing some of the new defaults to the old ones and causing lag. I hope that makes sense but it fixed my lag.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
IMO, if you don't use smart view, or scroll w.e

or PIP stick with stock kernel.

I used smart scroll once and found it more of a hassle trying to line up my eyes than to just use my fingers lol.

PIP is pretty neat, but cant we do like a multi window with a video?

kinda same thing.

I always keep you guys updated.

thank you very much for the donation, Sir!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drbveb88:
I feel like I missed a whole episode of "As the Bone stock Rom turns"..lol.

But I did want to chime in with a HUGE thanks to Andy for reconsidering. This rom is fantastic! Smooth as silk, incredibly fast and battery life is as good as it gets.

We the community would have been the biggest losers if you had closed up shop.

You will not see eta requests or a bugs lists from me...this rom is running so beautifully for me ...what else could you ask for.

Thanks again Andy for your great work. Another donation will come again soon. :thumbup::D

Quick question. I have done a full backup. I am thinking about flashing ktoonsez kernel. Say I don't like it or want to go back. Will doing a restore replace the kernel and get me back to what I had before?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Affirmative. That kernel was a bit wonky after I flashed it. Did another round of wiping & permissions then switched to the custom kt kernel & it's been behaving for a few hours now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drbveb88:
I know there are alot of people using the KT kernel, are you getting better battery than this?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FriendlyNeighborhoodEnt:
So let me get this straight.

You are on MDK, but running this ME7 Rom? How?

I've been using Hyperdrive ROM as my daily driver but I've grown tired of the small bugs it has, it is kind of frustrating. I just want to have a very clean and smooth driver, and I've heard many good things about this ROM, but I am on MDK still (rooted before ME7 came out) and still have not updated.

Is there any way I can flash this rom WITHOUT me having to update my baseband from MDK to ME7? Also, what's PIP? I saw that it didn't work on your ROM unless you flashed the kernel from your Darkslide ROM (or something like that) I ask because I don't want to flash this rom and not have a feature I use not work, so I'd rather know beforehand.

Thanks for your time.

---------- Post added at 04:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 AM ----------

What kernel are you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkhorn:
Nothing to worry about. Do a nandroid backup and your normal wipes and flash this ROM. It will take care of everything in the background. IF you decide to try a different ROM, bite your tongue, no big deal. Do another android backup, so after you relies you made a mistake you can come back, and your wipes and flash that ROM and your in business. Getting the updated Radios will be a bonus.

Hope that eases your anxiety. Take the plunge, we all did.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkhorn:
This was my battery life just before trying the KT Kernel. I hope it gets close to the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drbveb88:

I'm pretty sure Andy is looking into adding this as an aroma option in future releases.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jpen:
I have a small request, no big deal if it happens or not just curious. On my GNex there was a mod to have it so the volume keys moved the cursor while typing a message or whatnot. Wondering if there was a way to get that on BoneStock? If not no worries. This ROM is perfection! And I know your AOSP Theme is going to be amazing...can't wait. Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FriendlyNeighborhoodEnt:
Thanks! Another question.. I am downloading it as I type this, but I have to know: Can I make a nandroid back up of just my data (using TWRP) so that once I wipe everything and successfully flash BoneStock, can I recover my data afterwards? The reason why I ask if this is possible is because I am coming from a different ROM, Hyperdrive. Would this be possible or would it be a very bad idea? I have a few games downloaded and I'd hate too loose my progress :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Thanks man!

The AOSP theme will be 100% credit to Nitro (being the man he is gae me credit today) and Vertumus' AOSP themes, so now I have those two themes to make mine out of, and it will be 99.99% those guys, only credit I take it simple copy and pasting lol, def don't wanna take any credit that isn't mine.

as for your request, sounds like a very cool MOD, will def look into it. :cool:

Very good question, I actually do not know the answer to this, hopefully someone who has tried can chime in? I guess it wouldn't hurt to try either, just make sure you have your nandroids :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
I wouldn't recommend to do so. Because Hyperdrive is MDK base, while BoneStock - is already ME7 base. Most of data will transfer correctly, but there can be some differences, and you will spend long hours in finding cause of the bugs. It is safely only when transferring from ROMs with the same base.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FriendlyNeighborhoodEnt:
Makes sense. Thanks for the input! Sigh, there goes all my progress for Final Fantasy 3.. :banghead:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] il buono:
You shouldn't have any problems restoring user apps with data. If you don't have titanium backup you can also use nandroid manager. I've restored backups across devices and different bases and have never encountered any issues as long as only user apps/data are restored
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
VERY GOOD point!

I 100 % agree with this, I keep forgetting my ROM is the only one updated to ME7 that's custom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Added a MDK stock kernel flashable.zip to help you guys out.

Save some time rather than a nandroid,

it should work, I haven't tested so just make sure to do a NAND before.

You're probably tired of hearing this already but great rom andy. It has greatly satisfied my stockish rom preference and very stable with insane battery life.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theu2621:
quick question how would I go about changing the boot animation?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
If you look around, there should be threads with flashable boot animation zip files. Just flash those in recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brw9100:
You might want to take a look at Helium by Koush. I use it to back up my stuff but only restore back to my G4. However, one of the features according to what I've read is the ability to sync app data across devices which would seem to accomplish pretty much what you want to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mlin:
I used to do this as an alternative to titanium backup and it works well. However, I would create full backups using CWM then just restore data after flashing a new ROM. It always worked fine for me.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Capp5050:
You could try it using CWM recovery, doing an 'Advanced' Recovery, 'Data Only'; but it seems like you're on TWRP, so I would recommend using Titanium Backup (restore Apps+Data)

Someone mentioned it already, but if you use TiBu, ONLY restore USER apps, NOT ANY System apps, as they will be from MDK. Even if your last ROM had some great 3rd party app that the author included in the build, don't take the chance. Leave System apps alone.

User apps are usually pretty safe to restore, I've never had a problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FriendlyNeighborhoodEnt:
Funny thing. I flashed Bone Stock latest version and when I checked, I'm still on MDK. So I guess I could be safe recovering my data from my nand backup, but I'd rather be safe then sorry. Lost progress in a few games is better then a malfunctioning phone. Thanks for the input, everyone. XDA has one of the best Android communities out there. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
This ROM doesn't update your baseband which is why you are on MDK, I have links to MDK and ME7 if you want to try them to see what suits you best...

check OP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FriendlyNeighborhoodEnt:
So I just flashed your rom, and holy crap it is so much smoother then Hyperdrive ROM I was running prior. I personally love TouchWiz, and this ROM sports it the best.

Also, I noticed I'm still on MDK for some reason. I dont really mind at all, but I thought this ROM was going to update my baseband from MDK to ME7.. guess not!

EDIT: I'm stupid, I misread your OP on the whole baseband thing. I guess I flashed the ME7 version, because I had no idea there was a MDK version. Disregard my previous comment! :banghead:

Now for my last questions:

What kernel do you recommend for best battery life? I see this comes with a stock kennel, and I'm not really getting amazing battery life how others have stated.. My battery seems to drop a few percent every couple of minutes.

Also, what kind of mods would go great with this ROM (if any)?

Thanks for all your work Andy! :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
I went from 5 stars down to 4,

I just don't understand this childish bull****.

The ROM has over 500 downloads total,

but only 14 people have rated.

If really drops my enthusiasm to continue to do this stuff when I have things like this happening.

If you haven't voted, can you please vote 5 stars and get my thread back to it's deserved 5 star rating.

I have gotten in one argument with one DEV lately and all my threads are getting down rated, what a mature DEV, huh?

A little jealous maybe?

if you want to know who it is, he thinks his ROM is

"two steps ahead"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawnten:
I will be honest I have no answer for people that vote down a Dev unless they kang without permission or promise thing to people that donate then don't deliver on said promises. Honestly I can't imagine why anyone would vote down for the simple fact that you are the only one actively using the new update as a base. And you are constantly answering questions that have been answered a hundred times already
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Although he will deny it, and never admit to it.

he is the ONLY person I have a problem with.

He is jealous..

I am asking my great users to help me fight this childish person.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawnten:
Well I have no idea who you are talking about but I will fight for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
If you look at the ROM names, he considers his "two steps ahead" ;)

It's extremely childish and hurtful that this is happeneing, I put in so much time, please guys, rate my thread it's almost back to 5 stars.

Let's show this a$$h0le that he isn't the top dog and instead of being a child, maybe do some developing..

we fought over blocking mode..

is it a coincidence my thread got down rated as soon as I opened the blocking mode thread?

no.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawnten:
Lol gotcha. He's not even doing an me2 so its not even the same stuff. Interesting. And funny all at the same time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Funny, but hurtful.

I don't deserve this treatment because I am an attentive DEV and users are choosing to come to my ROM.

Blocking Mode and Call/Message block are now public (and release before DEVs even got their ROMs to ME7, mind you)

so for this crap to be happening is just pure jealously and immaturity.

Please guys, don't let this crap happen to me, it just makes me want to stop doing development (not that I ever would let this jerk stop me)

but it is hurtful.

I just voted for your thread but honestly, I never even look at that and who the hell cares. Your ROM is the best and anyone who has tried them all knows it. Isn't that all that matters? I get the best battery life and experience on any ROM and I have tried them and used them all. In my book, that's all that matters. Please don't get all worked up or stressed about crap like this. It's not worth it.

Thanks for all your hard work and don't let a few ruin it for everyone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
I just want to thank you all for quickly squashing that pest!

back to 5 stars, blocking mode and call message block are both public.

was it a coincidence that the guy he and I fought about blocking mode, literally my thread gets down rated as soon as I release them public?

hell no..

not too mention I have no other enemies..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NC-IL:
I would say, everyone please rate this thread to support Andy and his nice work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
It's the principle of the matter...

If you enjoy the ROM, why can't you give it 5 stars??

rather than have me get down about it?

other new people come into the threads and may see that this thread is down rated and pass.

I don't deserve this crap.

and I thank you users for helping me out to make this jealous punk UN-exsistant.

can't wait to see him using MY work in his rom!! :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawnten:
Funny as in sad not saying anyone is not a good Dev but it shows the maturity level of some people when your young which I am pretty sure he is sometime you go a little overboard with things. Maturity isn't always at the forefront when your being vengeful

you may not be able to do it on tapatalk, but it's at the top of the thread next to search, and u can vote 1-5 stars, please pick 5 (or less if you think thats what I deserve)
