I remember from another thread that you have to set the backup path to your real SD card to get it working again.

Menu > General > Preference > Backup Folder Location

Select /storage/extSdCard/TitaniumBackup

Also helpful: To get TB to stop complaining about US Debugging, tap 7 times on

Settings > About phone > Build number

and you get your Settings > Developer menu back.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] crzygrmn:
Just use cf auto root for the device name that matches sticker under your battery.

For some reason root disappeared after reboot. Don't know if its Google or I don't know wdh .

But cfauto root will work doesn't matter 4.22 or 4.3

I have the version of this from from early September. I want to flash the one that was released on 9/24/2013. Do I need to do a full wipe like I did when I first installed? Or is there a faster way without losing my data, since I already have a previous version of this ROM installed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] raulg15:
No you don't have to do a full wipe. I didn't even do a dirty wipe. I was running the early september one and I just went into recovery installed the latest one and rebooted. Everything is working fine.

If you want to be safe atleast do a dirty wipe. If you want to be super safe then do a full wipe.

Hi guys,

Can someone please tell me if there's a panoramic camera option on this rom? If so, does it function similarly to the stock samsung camera function? Are the results as good? I really love this feature of my i9505... Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] raulg15:
Yes there is. It works really good too. Results are great. It has 2 different options for shooting panorama. Never used the samsung stock panoramic option. But the one on the google edition is really good and alot better then other roms. The camera overall Its on par with the stock samsung camera. I like them both and feel they are ahead of the rest. I might even put this camera ahead of the samsung stock camera. The only thing I miss from the stock camera is that its pretty quick with taking pics. you can shoot multiple shots really fast.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] raulg15:
For those that miss having customization options I recommend installing the "xposed installer" app. And within xposed installer download "GravityBox".

I was able to put a "close all" button when I open "recent apps". You are also able to customize the quick settings panel. Your also able to customize the notification bar. Also can change the hardware keys. Theres more stuff too.

This is the smoothest ROM to me and I was missing some of the customizations from other ROMS but now i'm good with using this app.

I got the app from one of the touchwiz ROMS ...and i backed it up with Titanium Backup and installed it on the Google Edition Rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] NATA8986:
Is there any way that we could add or remove quick toggles in the pull down menu?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gyrex:
I can assure you that the GE camera, (especially the panoramic function) is terrible compared to the TW Samsung camera. The panoramic function doesn't stitch properly with the panning panoramic and the other panoramic function isn't much better either. Photos look much nicer from the stock camera in general... Unfortunately I've gone back to stock TW because I use the camera frequently... Until someone can port over the Samsung camera this rom is staying off my phone :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdc:
I've been running this now for about a week or so, and for the most part, it's been solid. The only mods I've installed is the mod for the circle battery percentage, and I installed xposed with gravitybox.

I flashed using TWRP 2.6.3.0, and that seemed to work fine. I am still running the original baseband, M919UVUAMDB.

However, lately I've been running into the following weirdness:

The UI will randomly stop working, causing a restart of that (almost like the finder crashing on a Mac, or the main explorer.exe crashing on windows)

The GPS... Randomly, it will get a lock then stop working (the indicator on the status bar will disappear). After a short while, it will come back and usually be OK. Tonight was the worst case of this happening as it would get a lock then immediately 'crash out'. Rebooting did not help, nor did a full power off and back on. The GPS I think might be related to multiple things trying to access the GPS at once, but I'm not sure. These things did not happen with the stock T-Mo ROM.

EDIT: Interesting... I checked goomanager for a newer version of TWRP, and if prompted be to install jgedlte (Google edition S4), not jfltetmo (TMo S4). I don't know if the older baseband or recovery would make a difference in these two things, and I didn't see anything in the thread mentioning them either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rockstarar:
Its because that's what the build.prop says. Change it back to jfltetmo and order will be restored
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdc:
Ah, Ok, that explains that. But it doesn't really say if it would be bad or even helpful to have the different recovery installed.

I did some more searching and google turns up a lot of posts from people with 4.3 and similar GPS issues on the Nexus 7, so this may be a problem with the google ROM specifically. It's still really weird, and I do hope that an answer is found.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rockstarar:

More checking and poking on this.

I grabbed a copy of GPS Status & Toolbox off the market. When the GPS starts acting up, it seems that if I disable it, clear and download the AGPS data, then enable it, the GPS starts working again for a while. This may just be totally coincidental as well, but it does seem to help.

I was also able to finally get the phone attached to a computer and run logcat when this was happening. I offer up two versions: the entire thing and one with the ProgressBar lines removed. I simply don't know enough to be able to determine what is going on from the logcat. If anyone else can grok these, I'm be greatly appreciative.

MMS quality?

I should also add that I turned on the built in Hotspot option for the first time last night, and since then my WiFi will not connect to any networks. I've turned it off, back on, tapped the network, chose the option to "Connect to network" and nothing. I've just re-flashed the ROM on top of itself (without wiping anything) in case it would help put any system files back. No go.

So currently, I stand with the WiFi not connecting (it does say it's on and it sees networks) and the MMS is sending very low quality images. (it took a 2.2MB picture from the gallery and send a 115K version of it through MMS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

I just wanted to comment to say thanks and report no issues. This is great, my battery life seems to be an hour or two better on usage, Google Wallet works (just tried it for breakfast) and there are no issues for me!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WhosAsking:
AdAway

First off, I wish to thank you for fulfilling one of my current desires in an Android ROM: a 4.3-kernel, AOSP-based ROM with Google Wallet support. After some fiddling, re-rooting, and a little customization, I've finally gotten it to a desirable state. However, one thing in my setup is still problematic.

Apparently, ad blockers (AdAway and AdFree) don't like to work with me in this ROM. Despite full root and updated SuperSU, BusyBox, and ad blocker (ex. AdAway v2.8 from FDroid), it doesn't want to cooperate with creating that hosts file. It either gets stuck at "Applying hosts file" or FCs on "Merging whitelists and blacklists". And when it hangs, it starts to seriously hit on the battery. In addition, trying to uninstall AdAway afterward created such a mess in the system that my phone shut itself off and rebooted. I'm wondering if the hosts file has been rendered inaccessible even by root in this instance, possibly by locking it in use.

Please understand I do not hold this against you. I knew going in not everything would work right away and am posting in hopes of understanding how a solution can be reached. I was unable to find a match for as blocking in this thread, so perhaps I am the first to bring it up. If you or anyone else could point me in the direction of a solution, I would really appreciate it.

UPDATE:

Please disregard my request for help. I have apparently found a solution of my own, and while it was clunky, it appears to have stuck. For whatever reason (perhaps lack of space), the hosts file could not be directly written. However, AdAway does provide the alternative of storing the file in the /data partition (/data/data/hosts) and replacing the original file with a symbolic link. Although AdAway got hung up creating the symlink, requiring a force close, it nonetheless succeeded, and ad blocking appears to be working. I suspect the same feat can be achieved directly using a root-level utility like Root Explorer. I therefore post this as a friendly recommendation to anyone else who uses this (or perhaps almost any other 4.3) ROM to try the symbolic link solution if you find trouble using ad blockers.

HOWEVER, when a stuck uninstall caused a forced reboot, I discovered that the original hosts file had been returned, so I don't know if the solution can stick between reboots. Also, AdAway still behaves erratically. Sometimes it can't hook to SuperSU so it believes it's not in a root environment. Other times it still FC's trying to merge whitelists and blacklists. After rebooting and fixing the symlink, it took me about four attempts to get a positive result, and I suspect I will need to repeat this feat each time I reboot. I've read somewhere this could be the result of increased SELinux routines.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AnthonyAldrete:
when coming from stock TW to this. should i have more storage ? I noticed that when i was stock on the s4 for 16 gig internally i only had about 9 gigs free. Its still the same even after wiping internal storage via clockwork. Am i missing something ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LoopDoGG79:
You did nothing wrong. Thats the storage you will have available, regardless of what ROM you have installed. I couldn't tell you why, it must something at a deeper level then Android.

Drag to uninstall

Thanks a ton for this, the ROM works flawlessly and is exactly what I needed! One question though, I don't seem to be able to drag an app from the app drawer to the top left and uninstall it like I usually can on stock Android. Is this turned off?

---------- Post added at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 AM ----------

Nvm, I was trying to uninstall a core app :|. Doh!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WhosAsking:
It's the partitioning. Think of Linux, where disks can be partitioned to certain amounts of space and then mounted to specific directories. In this case, under the Android specification, the internal storage is compartmentalized around six ways. You have /boot, /system, /data, /cache, and a couple others. They're compartmentalized like this for security reasons (under normal conditions, critical partitions like /boot and /system are mounted read-only). In any event, for the GS4, these partitions are each assigned a certain amount of space and total some 7GB. The rest (the 9GB you see) is mounted Read/Write at /sdcard (it's also symlinked in a couple other places for compatibility purposes).

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

I actually had a problem like this once before and thought it was my phone. Thing was, the problem went away after I reset my home router. Perhaps something there borked the WiFi inside. So perhaps the next thing to do would be to check your phone against other hotspots to see if they behave the same way. If it's just the one spot, it may just need to be reset like mine did.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lottumeb:
All is working and no bugs????

Then why is my wifi not working and my original samsung 64GB sd card is not recognized???

To make things worse, i restored my backup which i made before with TWRP but for some reason the kernel stays the same.

I quite sure that this kernel of your rom is the problem, because i still have no wifi and no sd card.

So what now?

How do i get my previous kernel back?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dynospectrum:
Do you see anyone else with your problems? It's not the ROM bud ;]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lottumeb:
Like i said, it's the kernel.

I even flashed my previous rom I9505XXUAME2-PRE-ROOTED-ODEX-FULL and still no wifi and sd card and still the kernel from your rom.

No idea what was wrong then but i solved it now by flashing the latest stock rom TNL-I9505XXUDMH7-20130910171441.

The TNLDMH2 version, which automatically updated to TNLDMH3.

Now it does have a different kernel and now everything is stock official and working.

So everything works again, thanks and no thanks ;)

It is safe to install 4.4 using this ROM.?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdc:
According to oldblue910 who keeps an archive of the official gp edition roms, no, it's not safe as this is a custom ROM modified to work on the TMo S4's.

I know the partitions on the GP version of the S4 is different, but there might be other differences as well. I'd love to be wrong and find out there is a way to convert a 'standard' S4 to a GP version.
