[Galaxy S 4 Active General] br0adband:
I think Hashcode mentioned and believes it's got to do with the change in the kernel: the 10.2 ROM that's available is Android 4.3 based so obviously it's using an updated kernel, and for whatever reason when it's installed all people get is the black screen (no backlight, no anything). I could be wrong on how he presented what he thought about that 4.3 ROM, so take what I just said with a grain of salt or two.

Perhaps it'll work itself out at as time goes by.

Now that we have a working ROM with the 4.3 leak from designgears (and thank you again, as well as thanks to the anonymous leaker) perhaps, maybe perhaps someone can do some mixing and matching of parts to result in a working ROM, maybe.

Personally after using the "stock" and apparently pre-release 4.3 for the past few hours, I'm happy with it, got no issues that will irk me or prevent me from continuing to use it - at least so far.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] ShimaMiku:
Thanks for the info. Yeah, quite honestly I don't really have an issue with the AOSP rom, it is just some of the little "tweakables" that I like, for instance, theming or changing the notification bars buttons (while still having the completely stock look).
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
remember that any AOSP mods for 4.2.2 should work. We started a thread in the themes and apps section but search around to other phones and see if you can find the mods you are looking for.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Gambit_Villa:
When I install the AOSP rom into a rom slot and install the MF1 and MF3 kernals and the cam patch my phone will boot into recovery and not load the rom....aby ideas? My phone is MF3 by the way
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
You're flashing kernel modules for both MF1 and MF3? If that's the case, you shouldn't be. Just flash the modules for the stock firmware you're currently on.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] br0adband:
If it's stock 4.3, all you need to do is:

1) Boot into Safestrap recovery and create the ROM slot

2) Install the ROM you want (the AOSP I'm guessing)

3) Install the MF3 kernel modules (because that's the kernel you're using on the stock device)

4) Install the camera patch from LeJay

5) Reboot and you should get directly into the AOSP ROM

(steps 2-3-4 are basically done at the same time, just add the other flashable zips to TWRP and it'll flash them in a row)

There is zero reason to mess with the MF1 kernel modules considering you have the stock MF3 ROM. The only reason to use them is if you're running the MF1 build, obviously; that could be what's pooching your setup presently.

It's just like kernels themselves: you have to match the modules for the kernel. Even though you're using Safestrap and another ROM, that ROM is still working with the MF3 kernel so you have to use the MF3 kernel modules to match. Can't make it much plainer than that so I hope it comes through clearly.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Gambit_Villa:
Gotcha I was under the impression that I needed both kernals for some reason lol

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

made a new partition installed the AOSP rom first followed by the mf3 kernal and then the cam patch and still boots into recovery after about 10 seconds of a black screen
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
It is possible that you got a bad file. I would try to re-download the ROM and see if you have any success.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] br0adband:
It doesn't hurt to start over again, you know, meaning delete the ROM slot (or slots, depending), and just reinstall as noted above: ROM, kernel modules, camera fix, in that order.

I had issues a few times but it always seemed like everything worked itself out with a complete deletion of the ROM slot(s) and then recreation then installation, at least three times so far.

Im so lost..what thread do I need to find so I can learn all about this safestrap stuff and what to do 1st ..does safestrap install TWRP ? Lol..sorry I have never had to do this with a locked bootloader phone :(
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] skeppley:
See post #3 here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448942

I downloaded all the zips and the apk file to a directory i created on the SD card named "safestrap" to make finding during installation easy.

Then, after all files are downloaded and on phone, just follow the instructions courtesy of TreyLWalker :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
If you are confused keep reading until it make sense BEFORE trying it. We would hate for you to mess up your phone.

Basically SS interrupts your standard bootup process with a "recovery" that is based off of twrp. It does not replace your current recovery. Once you boot into SS you will see multiple rom Slots. You have a default rom (that is the one with touchwiz) and you have slot 1 and so on. You DO NOT want to flash anything to your default rom slot. If you want to flash the google rom you will need to set up rom slot 1 and make it active then follow the guide to flashing the google edition rom (this can be found here). Every time you boot you will have the option to either enter SS or continue to which rom is active at the time. This is how you can dual boot your phone to another rom.

To install SS just download the APK from the development thread here (I recommend you read the information there also) and click install from the app on your phone.

Basically 3-4 steps and you're done. Also, please realize that where it says MF1/MF3 kernel modules it doesn't mean flash both sets, it means you flash the set that matches your stock ROM (MF1 or MF3). If you flash both you'll end up stuck - not bricked, just stuck and have to redo everything with Safestrap (delete the ROM slot, recreate it, reinstall it with the proper modules, etc). Do it right the first time and save yourself some grief.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] :
I've tried that ROM on another ROM slot. It doesn't boot. I'm guessing it has something to do with the kernel being different on 4.3. I would love to see a working CM for this phone though.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] anumeric1122:
i assumed as much, but we have 4.3 available dont we?

*edit* just remembered there is no root method for 4.3 yet which means no ss... so it seems the answer is no.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] br0adband:
That is a pre-release leaked build for the AT&T I537 only, and currently Safestrap doesn't work on it/can't be installed properly (as I understand it, based on reports from others). Once you install the MI2 build (which has a few problems since it's a pre-release build) you're basically stuck with it since you can't root it, can't install Safestrap for other ROM capability, and your only option is a fallback to MF1 because that's the only ODIN One-click available.

Gotta do some research before going off flashing just anything or else you'll end up stuck with something you might not be all that happy with.

Could not get safestrap ROM slot working

I installed safestrap 3.6 as explained in http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2448942

Everything worked fine, created a new slot with 3Gbyte size. However, I could ntot get custom ROM installed there. I copied ROM .zip file (CARBON-JB-1.8-jflteatt.zip) to internal SD card + gapps -jb-20130813-signed.zip. Got "installation completed" message for both ZIPs, and then :

Updating partition details...

E: Unable to mount internal storage.

Got green "Successful" message under the window where all log messages were running.

Then when rebooting with newly-flashed ROM slot, the phone does not boot, it is stuck with back screen and the only way to get it back to life is to power-cycle it and boot into stock ROM slot.

Any idea what went wrong?

Question #1: GPS

I have the Samsung Galaxy S 4G which has been long rooted and I've installed a few roms now on it. Recently I upgraded to Revolt 4+ which is my first attempt to find a Jelly Bean ROM that will work for me. Well, I love it. Only problem is that it seems it doesn't have GPS? Google Maps work but Navigation doesn't follow me which I'm guessing means it's using internet to "find" me. There's no GPS flashing icons nor are there any settings for GPS. Is there anyway to get it working or is it just not working for this ROM?

Question #2: Aries?!

Many of the roms mention "Aries's common bugs" but google searching it gives me nothing. Where can I find information about Aries?

Question #3: The latest fully-working ROM?

There are soooo many ROMs to choose from for the SGS4G that I don't know what to look for. I found and have been using THIS page but not sure how outdated/accurate it is. Anybody know the best/most recommended ROM right now that has all the main parts working? GPS, WIFI...etc? I know wifi calling always has issues but not important.

:good: to anybody who is able to help with any of the above!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Hi.

#1 All JB ROMs (meaning 4.1.2 and above) have Aries kernel.

it is faster than Herrig kernel used before, and should be more stable, but, no developer was able to make GPS work with it. so, there's currently no JB ROM with a working GPS.

#2 If you want a working GPS you will need ICS (4.0.3/4.0.4) ROM :

CM9/AOKP/Slim/MIUI/Ultragen etc.

I'm a MIUI freak so I can say I love HebMIUI which is an upgraded MIUI version I came up with. you can try it (see my signature) or any of the others I mentioned.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Slight addendum to #1. Not entirely true. Some of the earlier JB ROMs were still Herring. The various 4.2 Wifi-bugs were on Herring. Any ROM where they tell you to do the 4.1.2 JB if you wanted Wifi, it's a Herring kernel. For that matter, I believe we've only had compiled 4.2.2 and above Aries here. So if the ROM is 4.1.2 JB, it's Herring. If it's 4.2.2 without working Wifi, it's probably Herring. If it's 4.2.2 with Wifi or 4.3, it's probably Aries. :)

Agree on ICS/GB for GPS though. HebMIUI or Ultragen 1.01 (DO NOT USE ULTRAGEN 1.00 AND POST BUG REPORTS) are probably your best ICS options.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] UnknownCloakedMan:
THANK YOU both for clearing up alot of stuff for me. Thank you x2 for itzik2sh for recommending HebMIUI. I have it installed and I love it sofar. Hopefully somebody figures out JB GPS eventually.

I'll still check back here if anybody else has anything else to throw in.

I have had the same issues with the heat on my device. I notice it gets pretty warm quick right where the rear camera is and also the glass gets pretty hot too. I been playing minecraft and it heats up quick, I checked the battery temp with an app and it reached to 31C. This was from playing for about 15 minutes. Browsing the net or watching youtube doesn't have much effect but watching a video with the browser did make the device pretty warm. I gotta admit when playing games its pretty uncomfortable.

Even 40c isn't that hot for an electronic device. I remember my old Galaxy S 4G used to get a battery temperature of 52+ while charging and playing guns n glory in a non air conditioned guard house. Every so often I'd stick it in our mini fridge for a few mins to cool it down.

Not sure if that'd be possible without baking it into the ROM.

Asphalt 8 runs poorly at times at max settings. Sure, you can reduce the graphic quality, but that also reduces the effects and other things that IMO make it look better than the resolution does. So, dropping to 1280x800 for smoother gameplay with all the settings up is IMO a good tradeoff.

I set tasker to automatically set the resolution lower and scale the DPI when running specific games, and resetting back to default after I exit. Works pretty slick and I'm surprised this isn't integrated into the OS somehow with how many high resolution tablets are out there now.

I was disappointed however when I found that it doesn't noticeably improve the framerate in FPSE/EpsxE when using OpenGL.
