[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Br4nd3n:
Hello! So I'm sure you've been asked this question before, but I'm curious to see some updated answers since there is a decent handful of roms available for the S4-1337 now.

I am very much an Android gamer, I've been using the sixaxis application with a Dual Shock 3 controller since the application was released; and have been hooking my phones up to TV's since I could. It's essentially my "gaming console".

Currently I'm not running any custom rom on my s4, it's just rooted and using xposed framework with wanam installed (for stock touchwiz customization).

I however have noticed that no matter what I do, I won't get the speed and frame rate I desire with the stock rom; as it's just too heavy on the phone. I'd like the opinions of other Android gamers here about what custom rom they find is best optimized for gaming and overclocking (if necessary). Generally something that's lite but has a lot of customization that I desire.

I currently am a devout player of the Modern Combat series, other games are touch and go once in awhile.

Thanks,

Branden.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Febby:
I just want to give you a heads up, this might get closed down as "best for xxxxx" isn't allowed.

My suggestion to you is to flash a slimmed down ROM or a ROM thats well known and slim it down your self. Also, the stock Google edition base is a goof foundation. Don't forget kernel settings tweaks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Br4nd3n:
Oh, I'm fairly new; should have read the rules before posting this question! Hopefully the "[Opinion]" part will keep it up.

Any specific kernel you suggest? I think I may use Cyanmod.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Febby:
I don't really want to give out names as I don't love to play favorites but since your new.. I'd advise against CM/AOKP ROMs that are nightlies as I think they're not for casual gaming since commits change daily. [MENTION=2928662]task650[/MENTION] tends to put out some stable choices for a ROM based on aosp. (Aokp).

For kernels I've found there is community favorites. Faux, chronic, ktoon. (No order). Try them out and see for yourself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Br4nd3n:
Excellent! I'll avoid CM based Rom's for now than, and try something that won't be updated too often.

As for the Kernal, will try Chronic first I think.

No need for favorite's, just opinions. ^_^

- Branden
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Febby:
Good choice, task puts out good work I'd say since he takes the best commits and builds them in, compared to cm night lies were new changes are merged in..till a stable release (RC) build is put out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Br4nd3n:
Wanted to update you and let you know I did go with tasks ROM and his underwear Kernel. Very lightweight! Though I may flash a different kernel, for better overclocking potential. Decent fps increase while gaming and zero interface lag. Thanks so much for the support febby!
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Anjow:
I know how to increase the volume normally.

However, I find that the maximum is still really quite quiet - often enough for me to miss my phone ringing when it's in my pocket, or for me to miss my alarm to get up in the morning...

Does anyone know how to raise the volume any higher? Perhaps past its normal maximum?

Thanks
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] SubZero5:
I also don't hear thealarm sounds. Anyone have a loud alarm ringtone?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] clustered:
me too! i still need other alarm clock to wake me
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Blerk_666:
I'm using this alarm sound to wake me.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] DAz999:
Re: Alarm Clock and good wake up wav file.

I use SPB Time.

Its some cool functions including multi alarm, plus real-time clock screensaver. :wink:

Link here.

http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/time/?en

Also I made a special wake-up wav file, it does the job for me. :lol:
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Anjow:
I got the SPB Time program, and it seems pretty good - the alarm is loud enough. However, do you know if I have to have it running constantly for the alarm to work? I mean does it have to be up onscreen overnight if it is to wake me up?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] DAz999:
Re: SPB Time

For the screensaver, you do not need the program running. Another thing about the screensaver is you can customise it not to come on with certain programs, for example Windows Media and TomTom Navigator 5.1 etc.

If you have set the Alarm, then yes the SPB Time has to be running, but the plus is you can turn your pda off and it will turn it on to view and hear the alarm. :D
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Anjow:
That's odd... I have tried setting timers and the alarm and turning my device off - they don't seem to sound until I turn it back on again :(
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] DAz999:
Thats strange it worked for me (XDA IIi) and my friends (QTEC 2020i). I'm running WM2003SE, maybe try re-install and/or contact spb support.

can anybody else help Anjow???
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] DAz999:
Anjow,

I got this from SPB Support, if a re-install doesn't work this may help.

My alarms do not ring when the time comes and the device is in sleep mode. Why?

Most probably you have a typical Windows Mobile 2003 alarm problem. Due to a specific WM2003 bug the system scheduling functions may have unpredictable behavior on some devices. Even native system alarms don't wake the device up from sleep mode on many 2003 devices. For our regret this problem is operating system and device specific.

However there are some known workarounds for this problem that may help (but still a 100% effect is not guaranteed). You may try WakeupTweak from BurrOak Software. Try these links: http://www.burroak.on.ca/ptafaq.html and http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=876
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Anjow:
Thanks very much, I shall take a look at the fixes.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] phuong:
Hi!

I have the OIIi also. When i use the SPB time, my PPC alway have frezzed. so now i am using the Chronos programs. it quite runing very good in the my PPC OIIi.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] DAz999:
I have found a usefull piece of software called PhoneAlarm which solves this problem.

In ADV settings, change the shutdown delay to 30 seconds, also to increase the sound quality and volume in calls, selcect TAPI Signal, then softreset. Then do a test on your Alarm program and it should work.

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] aysecikvealpella:
Hi,

apart from alarm sound, is there any other patch or application to further increase ring volume?

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Yeti12:
No unfortunately it wont work in CM10.1
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mmmm1998:
Sorry for the question, I am an asker guy, but you can do a messages app themed like the S3, like you have done for CM9?

Again, sorry for the question.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Yeti12:
As far as i know that messaging app for CM9 works on CM10 as well, I tested it on CM10.1
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mmmm1998:
One last question, how do i install it?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Yeti12:
Under system/apps make a backup of your current MMS.apk them replace it with the one from my pack, you can extract it using winrar of a similar program
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] IWRH:
Be sure its workin' like charm :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mmmm1998:
I think that I am abusing now, but in my carrior name, it allways shows "no internet connection" and thats anoying.

How do to change that words by my criior name?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Yeti12:
I really don't understand why but it shows that when you're not connected to wifi or internet in general, i think there are 3rd party apps that can change it but i don't know any specifcally
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] BlueZ-:
This mod works only on this device? Or with all devices?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Soryuu:
It does work on the Galaxy S without any modification so you could try it and see what happens

thanx so much

seems beatiful :good:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mmmm1998:
Yeti 12, you said that this is your last update to this kind of things, the touchwiz ui theming, but one question related with this.

Can you make an themed phone app for cm10?

I sorry if i'm boring you.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Yeti12:
There are a few things about that which are very problematic for me so in short i can't make a phone app, if you want to know why its because for one thing a phone app can't be ported from TouchWiz i think it simply can't be done for it to work correctly, also if i wanted to make a lookalike I have no resources as they were all lost and no idea what it looks like, I also have no time whatsoever, i feel really bad that i can't help but really im not even skilled enough to do such a thing, the only thing i know that comes close to the dialer is the TouchWiz theme, you can get it HERE
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Xhemal1325:
Hello yeti, great mod, but any way u can make something like this for CM 10.1 ? :p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] saleelsalam:
Great mod
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Yeti12:
There was a start of this for 4.2 (before 4.3 was stable) but sorry i dropped the development of anything TouchWiz related as i realised that even though it looks nice it brings more bad than good. So sorry but that won't happen.
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
This is just that... A Verizon Stock Rooted ROM based on Build VS98011A (OTA Build)!

A stock rooted ROM

Pre-rooted

Busybox

zipaligned

Odex. De-Odex later!

Must be on latest OTA!

Includes boot.img that is pre-lokied.

You dont not need to worry about loki or OTA's.

Thanks

[Verizon LG G2] jayochs:
nice, scott! thanks for getting to work on the verizon version :D
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
This may not be for you...

This ROM is for someone...

Who wants to tinker and build there own personal ROM from the stock base.

Another developer that may not have the ability to get a stock base (Like me, I only have the AT&T phone)

When you hose your phone trying to "modify" things because you "read it on the internet" somewhere you can then use this ROM to get your anus out of trouble.

You flash someone else ROM and realize its not what you were expecting, you didn't make nandroid back up, and your rebooting every time you try to make a phone call. This ROM would come in real handy :)

You see where I am going with this?
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
You are all welcome!

Glad I could help get it started off for Verizon!
[Verizon LG G2] jayochs:
haha i always downloaded cleanrom, or your stock rooted roms, on every phone i had that you dev'ed for..which was every phone i had lol..and they're all under each phones specific folder on my hard drive as my just-in-case i mess something up and need a fresh clean flash back to stock. it's helped numerous times lol so i've got this bad boy downloading right now..

2 gigs, that's crazy. i can't believe the roms are bigger than samsungs!
[Verizon LG G2] Viper76269:
gotcha. just making sure. wouldn't be bad to have it on the computer just in case. i was just curious. i'm personally waiting for a deodexed AOSP ROM, but i can keep this in case i screw anything up. thanks for the info!
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
Dude, tell me about it!

Do you know how long it takes to upload this isht?

I had to TeamView into jparista's PC, dump his phone, build the ROM, then upload it all using his internet connection because he has twice the upload speed I did.

I would still be uploading now!
[Verizon LG G2] neckbonest:
you say must be on latest OTA, what happens if we flash this on non OTA?
[Verizon LG G2] mzimand:
Scott,

In the OP you say we need to be on the latest OTA?

I had flashed TWRP and have not been able to get the OTA.

I was surprised when I read we needed to be on the latest OTA to flash your ROM.

I have been holding off getting the OTA because I figured I would just flash a ROM to get the on the latest OTA is there a reason we need to be on it to flash your ROM?

Do you happen to have a Stock Recovery IMG and I get in order to get the OTA if I am going to need the OTA I will have to get it through stock recovery
[Verizon LG G2] Walter21026:
I would like to know this as well.
[Verizon LG G2] Scott:
Because its built from the OTA and I didn't include a boot image. I don't have the phone so I didn't want to risk bricking someone else's trying to flash a boot image.

In all reality it will prolly be 100% fine on the non OTA but I cannot say for sure... Havent tried it.

So nandroid, flash and report results and all questions will be answered.
[Verizon LG G2] neckbonest:
looks like im going to be your beta tester on this. will report back after flashing
[Verizon LG G2] Walter21026:
Thanks for chiming in on this Scott, however I won't test this till someone else has. Already went through hell yesterday with TWRP loops

Not sure what I typed there either. Was rushing cause of work, but I meant to ask if we can install TWRP after the OTA cause the link says it doesn't work after OTA (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2449670).

[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
I did read this entire thread. I'm still confused on what to do if there's a bootloop. If there's no way to pull the battery, how would you even get to a point you could restore stock? I'm about to pay full price to keep my unlimited data, but the sealed in battery situation is worrisome:(
[Verizon LG G2] Walter21026:
Im assuming your installed the latest TWRP since its been out for a week now, if you do have it you can boot into TWRP via key combo, (press and hold Vol- and power till you see the LG logo then let go for a second and press and hold Vol- and power again.) You should be able to fix any issues you had with TWRP.

This was an issue for me too seeing as we didnt have a good fail safe option other than reverting to stock.

If I understand previous posts correctly, the 11A radio is not included in the ROM Scott has posted. True?

Other than the modem thread that has the radios/modems listed, is there any other place to get the 11A radio? A couple of days ago I tested the B radio, then went back to A, but now I'm getting funky voice reception on the A radio (like the B one I tested). Thought I'd try another download/version/file if I could find or extract one from somewhere.

Clean Rom

Hey Scott! I wanted to know if you will be putting out a cleanrom for this phone. I will be getting this phone in a few days and wanted to put only the best and rock stable rom which is your cleanrom. Please forgive me if there is already a cleanrom available as I did not check thoroughly (did not want to check).
