Nice.. The reviews look good. Any personal experience on that monitor? I tried to find someone locally who carried it to check it out... No luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GTX1:
Not myself, but I did see it posted by Gizmodo's "Dealzmodo" blogger who usually won't post ****ty products, seeing as they are always cheaper by design. If they go out of their way to show that a product has a deal on it, it's usually up to snuff. I see them post monitor-deals nearly every day, except, of course, today. I'd start looking at Dealzmodo and see if one you would like more pops up.

Here's another one featured on Dealzmodo: 27" AOC LED TFT-LCD monitor, 2ms response, 1080p, 2x HDMI and 1x VGA. Looks decent.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Efrenjr15:
hope i dont get bashed but, ever thought about adding in HALO into this aokp build? that would be kinda cool.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
The reviews on the benq monitor are good as a standard desktop monitor.. though for gaming (I am a pc gamer) not so much.. many reports of major ghosting issues. So I had to rule it out. That AOC monitor looks decent. My big problem (besides not being prepared to spend the $$) is I am a gamer and I had full intentions on getting a dell ultrasharp 2560x1440 IPS for xmas... as I will have my credit cards all paid off by then. I have been dumping mercedes payments on them every month just to get them gone. I JUST paid my bills friday.. if I had known I needed a new monitor I just wouldn't have put as big a payment on cards this month. The best monitor to price ratio I can find is the aoc i2757fh @ $299.. its a 1080 IPS panel.. so not quite what I wanted to upgrade to but the reviews are GREAT and it is an IPS panel so Im pretty sure I could be happy with it for 2-3 years and wait til I do a new gaming rig build and 4k monitors to come down in price.. Sorry for the spew im just irritated right now =P I have to turn the brightness ALL the way down and turn it off and on 10ish times til the bulbs are warmed up enough to not trip the shutdown.. yesterday just having the brightness all the way down was enough, so its getting worse fast.

No bashing, I wouldn't tolerate it in my threads. But I will say refer to the 2nd paragraph on the OP. I intend to keep the look and feel of AOKP and just adding in bleeding edge stuff that hasn't made it to prime time for AOKP yet, while optimizing code for our processors and compiling with a highly optimized toolchain for speed and performance. So sorry.. at least at this time I have no intentions of porting over HALO. If I get really bored one day I MIGHT be convinced to port it over for a one time build for sh*ts and giggles.. but it wouldn't be something I would keep in my normal builds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
well.. shortly after that last post the backlights shut off and I couldn't get it to come back on for about 5 minutes and then it went back out a few minutes after that. As much as I didn't want to I went and picked up the AOC I2757fh from best buy just before the store closed. Even with a tablet and my phone I would rather eat like a 1st year college kid for a couple of weeks than be without my PC.. besides how would I work on SmoothAOKP =P Now to test out how it performs at gaming...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GTX1:
I used to game a lot back in middle school/highschool. Played a lot of CS1.6/CSS and DoD:S. But now, I'm 20, in college, and I could care less about gaming. I have my PS3 that is mainly a Netflix and NHL Gamecenter streamer for my TV, my N7 (flo) for casual games when I'm bored and on the go streaming, and then my GS4. I also have my MacBook Pro that I do all of my assignments on, but I would be lying if I didn't admit that I play MineCraft here and there on it. I didn't really consider "gaming" needs when looking at those monitors, just that they have good picture quality and aren't too expensive.

Back on topic, I'm with you. I don't see a point in flashing/releasing 4.2.2 ROM's when 4.3 is currently into testing. BMC posted on his RW thread two days ago that he has two issues to solve and he's going to release a tester build for those brave enough to flash it. I wont be flashing anything until 4.3 comes out, I don't have any problems with the 4.2.2 ROM I'm on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
I feel ya. I was a gamer growing up. We had all the nintendo's and I come from a family of "nerds" so we were computer gamers as well. My late teens and my early 20's I was too busy with other things to game. I really got back into it when I was bout 25-26. I grew up, and stopped going to bars and wasting $$ on dumb stuff... didn't have classes to goto anymore and you realize that it costs $$ to leave the house. Other than going to a friends house to hang out there isn't much you can do that isn't a drain on the old wallet. I live 15 minutes from the beach, but even that is a $30+ a day affair! Ive never been a big TV watcher, so I got back into gaming to pass the time when at home with nothing else to do. I've really enjoyed getting into android. It gives me another outlet. So now when I get a bit burned out on gaming, ill work on android and vice versa.

That said, can't wait for AOKP 4.3 to drop! I'm going to enjoy some gaming on this sweet new monitor. I never realized how crappy of a picture my old one actually had until I set this one up and calibrated it right.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Clancya:
I just flashed this including KT kernal. The phone worked for one call then I started getting force closed on Contacts. This made the phone function no longer work. I had this happen when I tried Nito's GE Rom. To get the phone/contacts back working I flashed the Contact Fix from Nitro. Works like a charm. Fast and snappy.

Does any one know why this would of happened?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
Hmm. That's weird. I have not had that happen on my builds or when I messed with Nitros GE rom. I am glad you were able to fix it and its running nice and smooth for you now. But as this is really the first "bug report" I've received I'm a bit curious. Did you do a full wipe (system/data/cache/dalvik) when you flashed? what if any apps do you have installed that might use/integrate with the phone/contacts. Its late and I'm heading off to bed but tomorrow I'll look into the fix nitro uses and see if I can understand whats going on. Has anyone else had this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Clancya:
Yes I wipe all four of those before flashing. I mostly play casual games and read(feedley,FB,Tapa,etc...) I do have Mighty Text installed but have not set it up yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
Yeah I'm not sure.. I'll look into it some when I get home from work. I have mighty text installed and I use it so I doubt that's it. When you have a moment can you do me a favor? Reflash it without the patch. Install an app called catlog and see if you can reproduce the FC's and then email me the log from catlog to smoothaokp@gmail.com and let me know so I check it. thanx!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Clancya:
I can but it will be delayed. I am on my way out of town for the weekend. Thanks for looking into this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GTvert90:
The first smooth aokp release. 8-14 I think. Anyone having camcorder issues? App just closes when I hit record
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
I'm using a bit newer of a build from testing some things, I haven't messed with camera app at all, but I have used some slightly different compiler optimization flags. since that release. Camcorder working here. Ill flash back to the 8/14 build and check but cam/camcorder is one of the things I always check before releasing because certain compiler flags have been known to mess with it on some phones. Ill flash and report back!

I just flashed back to the 8/14 build. Its working for me with both the stock kernel and ktoonzes kernel. Have you tried to wipe app data for the camera?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GTvert90:
Thanks! Fresh install first time I tried using it since I flashed last name night

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

You can select camcorder but it's not till you hit record. It doesn't foreclose it just backs out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
I just took a video of my dog acting a fool =P I tried with storage set to internal and sd card. 720p and 1080p. Try clearing app data for the gallery app. It covers the camera too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GTvert90:
Works. Sorry. I should of thought of that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
no worries. glad it's working. Wonder why it would have acted weird in the first place. If it does it again try and get a log with something like CatLog app and email it to smoothaokp@gmail.com and Ill look into it the best I can. Hopefully it wont be a problem again though =P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
BMc from Team Kang has just posted an AOKP 4.3 preview for our phones. It's not without bugs, but i'm going to check it out anyways! Getting closer! can't wait to start working on 4.3 SmoothAOKP builds!

EDIT: haha! I forgot to post the link with all my excitement =P

AOKP 4.3 jfltevzw prevew.

EDIT AGAIN: Don't forget to get the 4.3 gapps linked in BMc's post. I was rushing and I did lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GTvert90:
Do you have a custom icon pack that you can try changing the ribbon / lockscreen icon? I can set it from gallery but from nox I can't. I select the icon and it doesn't change. Not sure if it's the icon pack or if it might have broke when you added lockscreen wallpaper or what ever

---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

Well went to backup my apps to flash the preview and it looks like I've lost sd card #3 to Samsung phones..... Really really tired of it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
Hmmmmm...never had an issue with SD cards
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GTvert90:
Seems like it may have been a kernel issue. I switched back to an old kernel and all seems okay I was able to pull my data off on the comp.

My issue was something in my phone was making an. .Write_test file that wouldn't let anything write to my sd card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kanged:
I'm having a strange issue. I get reboots every time I try to watch a video. I'm on 8/14 w/ Ktoonz 8/25. Anyone else having this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mchief298:
Clear KTweaker data. I had this issue too, this helped me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
I just wanna make sure I understand.. I've never really messed with custom icons. You are having trouble setting a custom icon on the lock screen ribbon? Ill download some icons and see if its a problem for me. I'm assuming you are talking about the nox icon pack?

As for the sd card.. this is my first samsung and luckily I have not had the issue. I want to say that I read somewhere that the bug was found and patched in 4.3.. but don't quote me on that.

Thanks to the people helping others out as well! I have not had issues with playing videos I have taken or youtube.. but that is about the extent of video watching I do on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
Ok on the locks screen ribbon it does not take the icon pack into account. It does not do it on the 4.3 preview either, which does not have the custom lock screen background option. The only way I was able to apply those icons was to manually extract them from the APK and then manually set them with file explorer. I assume this is just a limitation to ribbons in general as even my "home screen ribbons" are not using the icon pack when set. I have to manually set those icons as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GTvert90:
Out of all the icon packs I have installed (5or6) nox is the only one that it gives me the option to choose from. It doesn't work on the 4.3 preview either I'll email nox and see if they can look into it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
ha you got me playing with icon packs =P Now I see what you are saying. I tried elegance (free) and it does not show up as an option to choose from either. I just picked up the black and blue icon pack and it does give me the option under custom icons for the ribbons. Im on 4.3 right now. of the 5 icon packs i have installed only 3 of them (Nox, Black and Blue, Stealth) show up as options for the ribbons. Was about to flash back to smoothaokp anyways so ill see what it does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GTvert90:
Do any of the icon changes stick? I can select icons with nox but it never changes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
no.. I am fighting the same thing. Nox is the only one that it will actually select the icon for me too.. err try. The other icon packs just highlight the icon but that's it.. its not just the locks screen either its all of the ribbons.. now that I see whats going on im going to flash back to 4.3 and see if its doing the same thing.

If it does work in 4.3 I am pretty sure I know what is breaking it. I used a commit from the AOKP gerrit for the ROMControl side of the lockscreen wallpaper that relied on another commit that modifies A LOT of Romcontrol. you can see it HERE. I will likely have to go back to "stock" romcontrol and go a different route with selecting the custom wallpaper for lockscreen.

EDIT: Ok that's not it... same exact behavior in the 4.3 preview as SmoothAOKP... I did some googling about ribbons and custom icons... it's suppose to work. I am going to post in the official thread over on RootzWiki and see if BMc or anyone else has any insight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GTvert90:
Smoothaokp and 4.3 were the same for me. Idk if it's an aokp issue or Nox.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] greentom:
On it! Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
Yea.. im really not sure.. I have tried multiple packs and nox was the only one that actually acted like it was selecting the icon. The others just highlight the icon and sit there.. selector screen never closes unless I hit the back button.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] leyvatron:
Always smooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
=D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
Looks like AOKP 4.3 has started to get pushed to their github! MANY repos updated within the last hour. The magical unicorn poo is starting to rain down =)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] leyvatron:
That's good news.

I think one of the mics is off.

I think nitro also had this in his ROM and fixed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
the mic? there's more than one? I've only noticed the one hole on the bottom

edit.. nope you are correct.. there's one on top too. so you think only one is working? not sure how to test...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
sooo close yet so far from building 4.3.. a lot of the updated stuff has been pushed but not all of it. As soon as its all available I will start working on linaro patches and getting a new build going. But I just wanna put out there that out of respect for Team Kang I will not post or privately hand out builds until they have posted their first nightly/official build etc. I have gotten no slack from them for this rom and I intend to keep it that way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] leyvatron:
Record a video and notice how low they are. Let me find where nitro solves the issues. Brb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] leyvatron:
Nitros thread above. Tapatalk Page 9 talks about it amd he fixes it on build 3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
Got real bored today and bored of waiting for Team Kang to update the "missing links" on their github, so I took matters into my own hands and fixed up the "missing links". it's building now so we shall see. If the microphone is still an issue on 4.3 then I will fix it there. Obviously I won't release any 4.3 builds until Team Kang does. But if I have indeed fixed everything and it spits out a working build then I can start working on the linaro stuff so that hopefully I can be ready to spit out a linaro build for you guys shortly after Team Kang releases theirs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] leyvatron:
Damn, thats good news.

Record a video with the camera and that will tell you if its fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
Just gonna leave this here...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] leyvatron:
How is it running?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
its running fine, that was a no tweaks build.. it should be the exact same thing as the preview BMc put out.. beginning to start messing with linaro now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
I really don't like TW, but every time I restore back and forth between AOKP and hyperdrive nandroids I get gremlins making stuff work wrong. I hope safestrap makes this process easier.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
I have had issues before where restoring apps backed up with TiBu on TW then restored on AOKP.. so i keep 2 backups.. though I have not been on TW in forever.

On another note.. if you haven't ever tried building with linaro you won't find this amusing.. but I do =P Google needs to clean up their damn code!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GTvert90:
In the rootz thread someone said cm merged a fix for the call disconnect issue some are having myself included. They didn't have a link and didn't remember where they've seen it. Any chance you can go looking and wanna pump out another 4.2.2 build while we're waiting? :D

---------- Post added at 10:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

I'd go look for it but Idk the first place to look
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
Do you happen to know if it was an S4 specific commit? or was it system wide?

If you or anyone wants to try and comb through HERE and see if you can find it that would help me out a lot.

Linaro 4.7 at the moment will not compile 4.3 due to a bug in the compiler, its not even a code error.. it's actually a compiler error that gets thrown. it's known but who knows when it will be fixed. I have moved on to Linaro 4.8.. but 4.8 adds a whole new level of crap that needs to be fixed.. and it's kicking my a$$.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GTvert90:
I looked semi quick and didn't see anything. Tho I'm not sure what I'm looking for LOL

I'll see if someone in the rootz tread can find it.

Its quite annoying having to reboot your phone to make calls sometimes. its a rather big bug.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
haha no worries.. I will look when I have a chance if nobody figures it out. what exactly is it doing? I have not had any issues.

EDIT: i see legacystar on rootz asked what modem you had. That is a very good question.. are you still on the MDK modem? I flashed the ME7 modem almost right after i got my phone. Might be why I have no problems.

If you are still on MDK modem go HERE and get the ME7 modem and flash it and see if it help.. you can go back to MDK modem if you need to for some reason.. but my signal was much better after updating.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GTvert90:
I'm on ME7

I'm not sure what triggers it. But when it happens you'll dial a number it will say dialing then as soon as it connects it disconnects like you hung up. and you have to reboot to get it to work again.

I know others have had this issue. Its on all AOSP verizon s4 asop roms AFAIK
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
well damn.. was hoping that was going to be a quick fix for ya
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GTvert90:
yeah.. Lol but if we can find CM's fix.

---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

I know its not a ROM issue. But I'm putting it here as I don't wanna start a new thread.

I've had trouble on the latest Koontz kernel and I've tried 2.1 of chronic. Both make my 64gig exFAT SD card un writeable. I get a .write_test file created that doesn't let titanium or any other apps read or write my sd card.

I flashed back to the 7-24 ktoonsez and all is well.. Anyone else having this issue? What other kernels support the exFAT formatted SD card?

Hell I guess I can throw this in the ktoonsez thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
Good news is that BMc says the call bug should be fixed in 4.3.. as for the sd card.. I only have a 16gb sd card so I dont use exFat.. But I have been using Faux's new 4.3 aosp kernel here recently and it has been working well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GTvert90:
nitro posted this to get TiBu working on 4.3 figured i'd share for those who haven't seen. http://www.elementalxdesigns.com/ec...fix-titanium-Backup-when-using-a-4-3-Firmware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
good to know.. i keep my backups on SD card.. prob why I didn't have a prob
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GTvert90:
ootb the 4.3 preview seems to support exFAT sd cards.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
Yea Samsung released their code for exFat recently.. CM merged it asfaik so most AOSP roms should e exFat capable from here on out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
A little update for you guys(gals?). I have to be getting close to having a working linaro build. Many issues have been worked through.. can't be many more left. Many headaches this past week, both due to android and labor day weekend festivities :p. I am working through the issues as they arise and I am in the last bit of code that can cause troubles so I don't think it will be long now.

I have been running the 4.3 previews and definitely notice a difference in overall smoothness from my 4.2.2 linaro builds. Some of it I probably would have never noticed before running my linaro builds... but I sure as hell notice them now. Here's to hoping for sooner than later =P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
If you would like an extra set of eyes for testing, I'm willing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
I appreciate it. I still have not been able to fully compile. I could back off the optimization flags bit and prob get by.. but what fun is that? Right now I am compiling with the same exact flags as my 4.2.2 build. When I actually have something flashable ill let ya know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
Good deal. My microphone just died on this, and because I had a prior crack in the screen, they said there's nothing they could do. So I'm off to figure out how much screen replacement plus microphone will be :banghead:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
ouch! i looked into how to replace the screen when I bought mine, just in case.. not out of my scope of ability.. but I hope I NEVER have to do it.

EDIT: is the screen cracked or just the glass? it looks like they have just glass replacements now. When I looked before you could only get the whole screen+glass.. I'm sure it's still a PITA either way

On another totally awesome note... drum roll... flashing zip now..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
I was good up til the glue melt part. Awesome! Good luck on the flash!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
Well.. good and bad news.. Bad news is something is wrong with the kernel.. it wont boot with stock kernel. It does boot just fine with faux's kernel though! So that's a good thing.. I'm going to go through the "standard" tests and see if anything seem broken. Then ill try and get a log of whats freaking out in the kernel and try and fix it. Can immediately feel the smoothness return though :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
Definitely more good than bad. It boots up and seems smooth...can't ask for much more
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] apophis9283:
Using linaro on 4.3 kernels seems to make them freak out. Its weird. Not just 4.8.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
Gotta do some more testing to make sure it was just a fluke the first time.. but the second time I flashed it to go back to the stock kernel to get a log it booted right up.. but ill just leave this here anyways.

EDIT: Image resize.. whoops.. forget we have 1080p screens :victory:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
Hmmmm..nice
