HI Guys,

I'm coming from Omega 19 (4.3) and I must admit I have not been flashing for quite some time now.. Also using Philz edition CWM recovery.

Can you please teach me on how to make a clean install of this ROM please? Sorry I'm acting such a noob!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iB4STiD:
No need to be sorry .. Do this

1 flash latest philz touch

2 wipe factory reset with the new ROM option

3 flash ROM
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ronmtorres:
Can't wait for my ROM DL to finish! :) So no need for WiFi fixes? Just wipe, flash ROM, and I'm all set? I'm on the old bootlader BTW - does it matter?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iB4STiD:
You should be fine you coulr flash latest modem if you have any reception issues

Bast can u make it S5 Ui? ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Shisma:
This is the better rom for battery life and stability in my opinion (especially in standby mode) never had problem with it, no superfluous things and quick update. I have at least 4 hours of screen on during the day.

Edit: sometimes 5 hours of screen on, but it depends on your usage.

Imho ther's enough ROMs with S5 UI...

I'll prefer that GE continues with stock S4 UI (for me is beautiful than S5).

I love GE cause is clean and light.

I,m not i USA,let me try that fix if you can.

Thank you
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] snigel:
But the greatest thing is that #iB4STiD makes his roms with aroma so you can choose yourself if you want S4 or S5 mod. So this would be great to get at least the possibility to test the new UI but still preserve great battery performance.

I just installed the ROM and I am a new switcher - so far, so good for me. One thing I noticed though is when I restart my device, the WiFi is not set to On even though before I restarted the WiFi was on. My setting is to always keep it on, so I do not know if there is something I did, or is it the default setting of the device? Any thoughts or recommendations?

Yesterday my screen rotation didn't work anymore. Setting on or off via menu or quick bar and rebooting didn't help. So I reflashed the rom with no wipe. Then it was ok.

Next I reinstalled BobCat Theme and Googy kernel and it still worked.

After a good night sleep screen rotation now again doesn't work.

I'm on latest rom with only a few Samsung apps removed/frozen.

Anyone has the same problem?

Edit: after reinstall of the rom yesterday I had a message that Unified Deamon had crashed so I removed its data. I don't think that 's related.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ronmtorres:
This one was the solution -just needed to wait lol. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] phil.o:
Extract the file libgnustl_shared.so out of your ROM zip (under /system/lib), move it to your /system/lib folder and set the right permissions - that solves the screen rotation issue. I have to do that after every ROM installation. I do not know why, but that file is always missing after I set my ROM up and causes the rotation issues.

Here's the libgnustl-shared.so of v38. ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iB4STiD:
installing mods not made by me can cause issues.. these mods could be based on diff fw, or just conflict with my changes .. clean install and use mods for this rom only :good:

that is not my calendar app included in my rom.. not sure where u got that .. clean install and only use my mods or mods in the rom itself
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
Thought that looked like an old icon. Check for the SPlanner one. You may have restored wrong icon. And wipe System/Data/Both Caches 3x. Not sure what recovery you have but in TWRP, I do it thru Wipe/Advanced Wipe and select those 4 checkboxes. Rarely any issues. I am on TWRP 2.5.0.2.

I also love the S4 Planner with the beige backround, hate white--:)

I think I know what it is now. I'm running domination theme with your rom [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION]. The s4 calendar is themed but the s5 is not. Thanks. I also do clean installs that's why I was wondering was it was
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] geevh:
Thanks for your reply. My case is the opposite as yours. If I flash rom again, screen rotation works again. Overnight, it magically disappeared.

If I have the issue again, I know now what to do.

Could be indeed some (xposed) mod causing this. I never accused it being the rom and it would surprise me if it is...

But as I didn't know what causes this, I decided to post it here. Glad to have received such a quick response.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] phil.o:
No no, it's not caused by the ROM itself. I faced this issue on Omega ROM too. The rotation issue appears only after setting up my ROM (MODs, tweaks, themes). As you already said, if I flash the ROM again, screen rotation works again, too.

So...if your screen rotation will not work again, just look in your /system/lib folder if the 'libgnustl_shared.so' is shown up there. If not, just paste the file I posted here, set right permissions and you're good to go. No need to flash the whole ROM again. ;)

Music starts randomly ..

Hi, today i Installed the v38 of golden Eye (great Rom BTW !!! )

with the standard instalation: 3 wipes and install.

All OK until with no reason, the music start to play out loud. I tried to stop it but it's not a app music player running.

It was at home screen. I don't know how but i muted the music. BTW the volume keys didnt work at that time.

Next, a few hours later, again the same problem. This time I connected a pair of headphones, but strange, the music was still on the speaker !! :o

And again, the volume keys, didn't work. :rolleyes:

I have to power off the S4 to stop the music at all.

What happened?? I don't know. First time I have this issue. I don't know if it is because the new rom (i was on GoldenEye v36 until today morning) with the default kernel.

The only thing I didn't finish installing was Viper4android. I selected this option at Sound / Music Effects.

But I was not yet installed the driver.

To make a test, I'm gonna change to Alucard Kernel and wipe dalvik and cache.

Any ideas? Anyone has or had this issue before?

Thanks !!

20:30 hrs: I have to install KANGAKAT Rom, from [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION] ... The reasons? the same I commented before, plus:

- With new Kernel Alucard, the music issue was still there.

- When I restarted the phone, i receive the message "No SIM Card" .. with a new reboot, it worked again.

I don't know what happened. I've never had problems before.

Anyway [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION] thanks for your great work on GoldenEye and Kangakat....

Maybe you can give me some ideas of what happened with my instalation of GE38.

Ohh my S4 is i337m.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] diddsen:
what bootloader using?

tried without viper? (i know, you don't install any driver of this, but try completely without this)

restored with titanum? (never restore system data!)

ur using xposed... what modules if so?

i would flash stock rom, then newest philz and in this the option wipe (so, its strongly recommended to do wipe on system and preload partitions too).

good luck
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sergiomc22:
I followed these steps:

- Using Philz Recovery

- Used option Clean to install new Rom. And then clean data cache, clean cache, clean dalvik.

- Installed rom zip with all stock options.

- Then after first reboot, I restored the user app+data with titanium backup. All app's except for system app's or system data. No restore APN, Wifi ,SMS o call logs.

- Finally, configure Viper4Android.

- Xposed modules enable: gravitybox, instagram downloader, enable better stats permission.

Always followed these steps with another Goldeneye versions (36 and below), and always was Ok.

Now, with another great rom from [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION] , Kangakat. and no issues with music o sim card. All perfect!!!

Well I hope it continues that way.

Maybe the GoldenEye 38.zip was corrupted on my case ? is there a MD5 checksum ??

Random Reboots

I am still running on version 24. The phone is working well and the ROM is stable. Lately I have noticed an unusual amount of random rebooting of the phone and sometimes it is difficult to wake it up from a hibernation or sleep state. I have to pull the battery. Is there anyway to improve this. I am running Jeebo's Kernel that I flashed with the version 24.

Hello everyone I am hoping someone can please help me out. I have a M919 S4 and I am trying to install this rom but can not get passed the first S4 logo. I have read the OP and tryed 3 different downloads and tryed to install each download three times but its a no go still cant get passed the S4 logo. I am also selecting the t-mobile M919 in aroma.

You say you have tried installing it three times. Have you tried installing it 2 times in a row without rebooting in between installations.

Install the rom through aroma then at the end uncheck the reboot option and run the aroma installer again to then reboot after the second time is done installing.

What will happen If I did a full wipe using philz recovery and then flash the ROM, keeping in mind that I have it on my ext SD card.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tylorw1:
Depends what you wipe. To use the option 'wipe for new rom' will not wipe internal storage aka media/0/. Just don't wipe your external sdcard but even if you do Philz can mount the external sdcard to mtp transfer the rom, though it would take a while.

This is by far one of the best ROMSI've run on my T-Mobile galaxy s4. It is fast and stable but the only problem I am having is when I make or receive calls the sound is distorted for some calls.

I mean what have you tweaked and what are the major changes from the default kernel.

I'm not facing random reboots but apps are freezing/crashing much more frequently, please take a look at the xposed modules I use.

Thanks I'm advance

I messed with my settings a little bit more lol. Here they are.

http://xda.tylorhost.me/Other/KT Settings Test 1/TylorsProfile2.zip

Now about xposed. I use very few modules and out of the ones I have tried, I had trouble with the YouTube ad blocker the most and had some with the smooth progress bars. I would try getting rid of the YouTube ad blocker first and reloading the profile because I will admit the one I posted before seems to have had a wild value that was causing some lag and I have never had success with the YouTube ad blocker.

Tylorw1
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wackygoose:
Thanks for your answer and for sharing your profile, but I want to understand how does this differs from the default one :p. Might not be an easy request but at least give me the major differences.

I'm running taleoxp ( never spell it right hahaha)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tylorw1:
The profile is for KT Kernel. I just reversed some i/o scheduler changes that I did, changed a couple values for tcp congestion and then put a little for bang into the cpu setting lol. I just posted the newer one just in case if someone was using my old one, which probably no one was anyways haha.

Tylorw1
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wackygoose:
Im gonna give KT a try, please keep me updated with your tweaks!

Can I ask from which part of the world are you from? I could use some good gps.conf as well.

Unproud Brazilian here

EDIT:

I experienced a weird "bug?', I flashed KT and Tylor's profile, cleared dalvik & cache, reboot, setup KT, damn... forgot to fix permissions, reboot recovery, fix permissions. But then my xposed modules went all crazy! Its like they've lost their settings and every option was active.

I've noticed this because I work Network Speed etc, to monitor my download speed, but it was monitoring both! And the option inside the module was unchecked, I had to check and uncheck it again to make it back to normal...

Any ideas? I had to do some for other modules, but I cant verify every option again... this made me insecure and uncomfortable :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tylorw1:
When flagging KT kernel I don't think fixing permissions was necessary. To reset x posed Uninstall or and reinstall it.

Tylorw1
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wackygoose:
I know... It's just a pain in the ass to to. Over all the settings again, I've disabled all modules then enabled it again.. Let's see
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tylorw1:
It shouldn't have deleted your settings if you just Uninstalled the xposed framework and reinstalled it. Also when installing a kernel it can't touch do anything like what you said so it must of been bugged from before, or you setting permissions did it. If you used my kernel installer you didn't even really need to set permissions as it does so in the script.

Tylorw1
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wackygoose:
I know, its weird. Its not like I lost my settings, more like they were not active... on the mentioned module I have 2 checkboxes and only one of those checked but the module was acting like both were activated.

I didnt use your installer! I just wanted KT, so no reason for that hehe
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tylorw1:
Like I said before though try getting rid of the YouTube ad module and see if that helps. And I hope you have noticed some pluses changing kernels and using my profile.

Tylorw1
