Been testing V18 since this morning (12hrs and counting). Excellent as per, seems smoother than V16. Having some incompatibilities with Xposed modules- it's not faulty rom, but rather outdated modules.

Battery is solid as per the previous versions.

I've got latest update from them. I think it's a Samsung or maybe 4.3 thing as it used to unlock straight to the message on my old HTC.

So any notable changes in this new firmware?

How to make screen mirroring to work?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gsmyth:
You'll probably need to flash the stock kernel, if you search the thread, you should find others that have done this.

I've been having some weird problems on 16,2. Sometimes when closing an app it either fc's or locks up my phone and touch seems to not work, i say it seems because if i press power and Turn screen off i can swype to unlock, but after unlocking Phone screen comes on but nothing works and i end up having to reboot, it Almost seems like it ran out of memory and locked Phone. Anyone else had this? It happened even before i flashed 3minit and trueicon so it cant be from those add-ons.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] LimitsX:
i had similar issues, mostly FC closer though.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iB4STiD:
No problems here .. Make sure u clean installed and did not restore data to a system app also check which mods you used and BTW update to 18
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sfynx1:
I did clean install and didnt restore anything, and other than some of your addons i only use 3minit and trueicon, but i had those problems before flashing them, will try v18 asap to see if it fixes that.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] omniwolf:
ok, i'm also on the old bootloader, and have been having problems like this for ages. I've tried many different ROMs all with clean wipes, nothing seems to fix it.

I started a thread in the Q&A section but didn't get many hits..

but if 3/5 of us (and maybe 5/5) are all on the old bootloader.. i dunno.. it's not definitive, but I can't think of anything else. Maybe these 4.3 ROMs are just unstable on the old bootloader for some obscure reason?

KT kernel is best for me for this ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] LimitsX:
I use Hacker Kernel, best thus far and best battery life.

Talax = worst battery life ever. My phone was like Nexus 4.

I don't plan on returning to Talax kernel, it gave me a lot of issues with regards to performance and battery was the worst.

I wish Adam brings his kernel in =\.

is there any way to flash back the black dialer? Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] degman:
Hacker v7??? is still beta or not? This is reason for I didn't test it yet.....

Open ROM zip on computer and extract phone.apk, move it on phone memory and with Root Explorer paste it in System/App and change permissions. Rename phone.apk in phone.apk.back(or something) in system folder before this paste operation.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] diddsen:
hacker kernel??... no way, bad.

adam... in past also bad, i know it from wanam, very good man but kernel brought no good performance and battlife.

I totally agree. I am on MK9 and it is close to perfect. AnTuTu > 29.000, data speed 20 Mbs (LTE), battery life >2days with almost 5 hours screen time (moderate use). Not worth to upgrade for some incremental changes that you hardly notice. Next stop: Golden Eye/KitKat version 1. LJ :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gsmyth:
Pretty much the same here, fully appreciate the dev's work to provide these updates, but my current set up (MK9) is nice and stable so think I will stick for now. As you say KitKat isn't that far away, hopefully we'll see something in 5-6 weeks(ish), looking forward to it! :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] LimitsX:
I find the new updates have been improvements. I don't know , but to some people MK9 is stable and good. But to me, that was the worst lol. Maybe because I have different variant of S4.

In any case, thank you for the updates and please keep it on bringing wonderful updates. I for one appreciate it and love it! I am glad someone is updating it very fast and bringing in wonderful optimization and so on.

I appreciate it a lot, thank you for your hard work, time, and dedication!

Yesterday I had a random reboot with version 18. I opened Tapatalk and the phone rebooted itself.

That's the second time it happens. The first time I was using version 16.2 and ocorred after I unlocked the phone. I could change pages but couldn't open any app (the touch wasn't responding) and 3-5 seconds later the phone rebooted.

Is this something that we've to live when using custom roms?

In /storage/emulated/0 I've a lot of folders of apps I'm not using. Is the way the Rom is cooked responsible to this or they belong to my previous installations?

I always wipe using all the option present in Philz Touch so it's strange to see all those folders.

has anyone else had any problems with excessive battery drain when using this rom? ive only had the s4 for a week, and am really happy with this rom, except for the fact that the battery drains way too quickly, and from what i can see, mostly due to the screen. for example, it went from 100% to about 35% with just an hour and half of use, mainly web browsing. the pictures ive attached show the screen using 63% of battery, and draining it to 82% from 100% in about 40 mins. this is crazy compared to my s3. ive read around abit and it seems like this is a common problem with the s4 in general, so im not sure its this rom, but i just wondered if anyone else has had this issue?

im going to try some other roms to see what happens, but its such a shame as this rom is everything i want.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Leejay1953:

ive explained why this could happen .. try a different kernel!!!... and use the search to read up on why this may happen :good:

u 2 are the minority .. im not trying to be rude .. but if u read thro the OP u wouldn't have battery drain .. use an app to find out what apps are using battery .. and re read the note section!!!

Is anyone using this ROM with Vertimus theme and 3minit? If so how?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 000lqm:
i have read the OP and the note section. the article you link to there about battery drain only talks about google services. if you look at the screen shots i posted, you would see that i am not using most google services on my phone...google plus is uninstalled, all location services are off, and i do not use google now. what seems to be draining my battery is the screen, which is using 63%...this is way too high. in the article you link to, the screen shot of the example phone shows the screen using 29%. when im not using my phone, there is no battery drain (ie when the screen is off)..with wifi on and all sync on, but when im not using it -when it is on standby- i have no problem. the battery only starts to drain quickly when i use it - when im browsing or reading or doing anything which means the screen is on. i can literally watch the battery % go down by about 3 % every 5 minutes. that is not right.

29% would be more reasonable as shown in that artcile. may be it is my battery, and not the rom at all, as i suggested in my first question. what i was asking was whether anyone else has had any problems. so please be patient with me and explain what i have missed in the OP which is stopping me from correcting the battery drain problem,...what should i be doing which i appear to have missed?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gsmyth:
My screen is also showing as using 64%, after 1d 0hrs 9mins and 3hrs 38mins of screen on time, with 37% battery left so I think it's pretty normal. About to put the phone on charge but I think I could reach about 4-4.5 hrs screen on time which isn't too bad. Could probably stretch it out more if I used some kernel tweaks. Trying auto brightness at the moment to see if it's any better for battery, but the fact is the screen is going to be the biggest battery drainer whilst it's on.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 000lqm:
compared to my s3, such a large battery drain that both you and i have with the s4 is terrible... for a phone that should be better than the previous model, i dont think its really acceptable. theres a lot online about it and battery problems with the s4 in general...is pretty disappointing. ive installed better battery stats and have also ordered a new battery. im also in the process of flashing different kernels. im not sure its this rom, although ill probably flash some others eventually to check all possible causes..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ionutzvio:
I tried the last three versions of this rom and they work great but compared with cm or other versions the battery draining is bigger. I use the same settings but with any tw rom the battery is worse.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gsmyth:
I agree it should be better for a new and improved model but I suppose after the addition of a slightly bigger screen, more RAM and other additional "functionality" you might not get the benefit of a slightly larger battery capacity. Although with my typical day to day usage I have all of the samsung sensor functions switched off, WiFi on constantly, no LTE use and a little 3G. Im not playing games regularly or watching video or generally making a lot of voice calls so I suppose you could say I'm reasonably a light user. Not sure what could be causing battery drain since this ROM is very light as is, with regards to the screen I always run it at 50% or less. I haven't tried CM or the Google edition ROMs on my s4 so can't give my own personal comparison. If you find out anything interesting it would be great if you could share.
