12/27

Updated OP, Uploaded 12-27 build to DevDB
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckelly33:
noob question. What is the difference between the two uploads (other than size)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grommish:
The MD5 file contains the md5sum for the .zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckelly33:
Just flashed 12/27. Within the pulldown tiles, battery simply says "on". No keyboard was on by default but it was easily fixed. Can the battery showing "on" be changed somehow?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grommish:
Battery Status changes going in tonight, might resolve this. It will update eventually. Reboot and check.

IR Blaster

First, I love your work on this ROM, thanks for all you do! Without it I would be stuck on touchwiz or some other crappy ROM not nearly as good as this one!

Is the IR Blaster working on this version? I have VZW GS4 and the version I am currently on, 12/10, it is not currently working for me. When I try to select it as an output option my my remote app it says 'The requested feature isn't available on your device'.

I am running the KT Kernel by Ktoonsez, I am not sure if that is the issue. I will research that forum more as well.

Is there an Elite Kernel for 4.4? I was unable to find one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckelly33:
Just flashed (dirty) and i realize it is early but I am experiencing bad drain...like 1% per minute. Gonna let it drain out then see in the morning.

Also, is it possible for this to affect WiFi speeds? I'm at my in-laws so it could be their router but browsing speeds are really slow. I was surfing prior to the flash and didn't notice this much lag.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grommish:
Of you dirty flag, your Google Services are going nuts. Check the batt screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckelly33:
Phone is dead. Might be caused by Google Services but it was hard to tell with 12+ hours of mixed use from before the flash. If so, i will tell tomorrow. How do I fix it if it is? I thought dirty flashing was ok ( post from dubbsy a while back).

Actually I have only dirty flashed one other time but after reading he was doing it, I thought I would try it...especially being out of town/away from my computer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grommish:
Your fine, and it'll level out after about a day.

Just no bug reports if you dirty flash. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdegroot:
This is very exciting! So glad to see all the cool work you guys have been doing.

Would you consider this a "major" release? I am sort of the opposite of a compulsive flasher. I really don't like having to reconfigure the phone every time I flash, so I try to reflash as little as possible. I have been wanting to re-flash for months (I'm still running Dubbsy's old project) but I keep waiting for a release that feels like a real milestone that I won't regret flashing and can run for a while. Is this that release? From the work you did on the OP, it looks like it is complete with settings, Aroma, etc. but the status also says "Testing". Should I wait for one where the status will say "Stable" or "Release" or something?

Just trying to get some context. Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] whitesides:
Glad to see this

Yay, downloading! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grommish:
Aroma was for the previous 4.3.1 (JB) build. Its why some of the confusion is still around. At this point, we do not have an Aroma package for 4.4.2.

This is as stable as it's likely to be for a bit, which is why I posted it here. Speaking of which, we updated the files again (12/28) to address an issue with the App Sidebar and Battery Bar not doing what they need to do. So you can download it again.

The only kernel we support at this point is the one that comes with it. That was for the Aroma Package JB 4.3.1. While I hear KToonz AOSP kernel for 4.4.2 will work, we don't support any issues that happen under it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ropeguru:
Is there a way to disable the "Voice Dialer" when using a BT headset? I would love for the headset to open up Google Search or Dragon when the phone is aslooep or in car dock mode. I have the stock "Voice Dialer" disabled but now a different voice dialer opens up, and will only do dial commands, and I have found no way to change it. I tried downloading a bluetooth launch app but the font is all screwed up on it under this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] urrgevo:
Didn't get data on the 12/27 USC build, would pulling some files from another ROM and replacing them in the zip allow that to work? I'm willing to give it a shot to try this, it's very stable and smooth

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grommish:
Where did you get a 12/27 USC Build? PM me? USC has data issues last time we checked, which is why we didn't release it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckelly33:
Well shoot! I just clean flashed the previous release (battery life was horrible on my dirty flash). Guess a clean flash is in order again...:(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdegroot:
Great! Then I'm going to flash.

One more question: I posted about this a long time ago, but I didn't really get much response, so I'll ask again. Ever since my last flash of Dubbsy's Pure v5 4.2.2 ROM, my compass has not worked properly. I know that in the past, GPS issues have been fixed by flashing a TouchWiz rom before flashing a AOSP ROM. I am hoping the same process might fix my compass. Is there a stock-ish TouchWiz rom that you'd recommend right now that would maybe get my compass working again?

Thanks!

How did you get a themed settings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdegroot:
I also don't have an App icon on the 12/28 build.

Also, I just discovered that whenever I try to connect to a Chromecast in Google Play Music, the device crashes and soft resets. I use Chromecast pretty heavily so this is a pretty major bug for me. How do I go about sending helpful logs about this?

UPDATE: When I connect to my Chromecast in Netflix or Google Play Video, it's fine. The issue seems to only be with Google Play Music.

Bug: Insufficient Storage Space for Apps

Another bug on a clean flash of the 12/28 build. I restored most of my apps via ROM Toolbox but a few did not restore properly. Now I am trying to install those manually, but I am getting "Insufficient Storage Space" error messages in the Play Store when I try to install new apps over 4 MB or so. Even a relatively small app like Fandango isn't installing. The weird thing is, according to Settings>Storage, I have 4.32 GB available.

I have been trying the solutions in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1908711 with no success.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Treken:
There was an issue with one of the commits I pushed to our source. The icon was removed accidentally. Thanks for reporting this. I have pushed the icons back into our source so the next build will have them again. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
Does the app bar just randomly stop working for anyone else. Its like the trigger just goes away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Treken:
Some are reporting this but not all. For instance, I haven't had this issue. Try to tap the screen one time quickly and then see if the trigger comes back. Let us know. Remember, this is pure aosp other than the mods we add. It may just be an issue with app bar not playing nice with aosp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
I'll give it a shot next time. I know its a newly added feature and could have bugs. I just disable then enable again and all is fine. I'm trying to pin down something that might cause it to help see if its fixable
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuzzylax:
This is by far the best kk rom, I've had running on my phone. Everything works perfect no fc or anything and thanks to the dialeckt for info on shutting home button wake, it will definitely be my dd. Thanks team octos
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Treken:
Keep us posted if you figure out something

What did you do? I may try to add it to the ROM

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuzzylax:
That would be great if you add it to next build. Thanks again v for your hard work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] urrgevo:
It's a very simple mod you can do right on your phone. Using root explorer or whatever root enabled file explorer you prefer you go to;

/system/usr/keylayout and open gpio-keys.kl with a text editor. Scroll to the bottom of the text and you will see

HOME WAKE

Delete wake, save, and I believe you need to change permissions to remove write permissions and reboot. Takes ten seconds.

*the filesystem could be named slightly differently, I'm on another ROM until data gets fixed for my carrier on this one.

Dock Audio Re-Direction

New bug: Audio Re-direction through dock no longer working. I was working in Dubbsy's GE Pure v5 with the help of this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.muteheadlight.dockredir&hl=en Now, that app crashes every time I connect to the dock and try to play audio. The dev of the app says: "Please have the dev supporting your model verify the correct mapping exists between the ROM audio device and the kernel audio path (commonly set in libaudio). Example: DEVICE_OUT_ANLG_DOCK_HEADSET in ROM should map to the path PLAYBACK_EXTRA_DOCK in the kernel." Does that make sense? Is this something you could look into?

Also, want to follow-up on my earlier post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48918064#post48918064) about Google Play Music crashing when connecting to Chromecast. Any ideas about that?

The good news is, I clean-flashed again and that solved my "Insufficient Storage Space" issue from the other post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48931001#post48931001)

UPDATE: I did a little more digging in Oct Settings and I did find the "Use Dock USB Audio" option. I got very exciting that this was going to solve my problem, but when I just got home and plugged it into the dock, playback still freezes up and no sounds comes up. I have tried it both with and without the Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector app.

Install Issues

I am using safestrap because someone thinks it is funny locking bootloaders, while installing it just sits on the Aroma installer fora moment and than says success, Aroma doesn't load or anything. I have to flash the files separately or else the install will fail. I couldn't find this in the post so I am sorry if I missed something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
It is in the first postings. We don't and won't support safestrap recoveries.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pingpong1109:
I understand that, may I ask why though?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grommish:
Safe Strap means you have to run Touch Wiz. This isn't TW. Until and unless someone cracks that, nothing we can do about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Because it won't work. Safe strap uses a stock tw kernel. This is aosp. Not interchangeable at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] qudwis:
Sorry, but I'm newb to s4. And the question is that can I install this rom on mk2 with safestrap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thadialeckt:
As stated above safe strap only works with tw kernels. This is aosp rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdegroot:
Where is the custom Oct lock screen slider icon you're using? I found the original at system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-xxhdpi/ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png but since that one still looks like the lock, you must be pointing somewhere else?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marleynyc:
OK. Good to know. Maybe it's just the beam that doesn't work? Or its not working between the stock Samsung phone? I'm going to test it some more.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Treken:
I tested NFC shortly after I read your post. MY wife's phone(Casio Rock G'Zone) and my S4 no problems. Hers is stock and my of course OctOS latest. As you can see from the pics, it went through w/o a hitch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marleynyc:

I seem to have lost root after installing the rom. Supersu asks to update the binary and then fails. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grommish:
You need to install the latest SuperSU zip from recovery. As of this post, I believe that is 1.86.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brasewel:
Do I need to format again and re-install? Or can I flash the SuperSu through CWM and clear the dalvik cache and reboot?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grommish:
Just as a friendly FYI.

Doing this makes us put whatever you're complaining about at the bottom of the list.

None of us have a dock, so it means very little if it works. It will be addressed when we get to it, but this doesn't help.

Petty? Maybe. But this is our ROM. So I'll ask nicely that you don't do that again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdegroot:
Ok dude. Sorry to be annoying. Not my intention. And I prefer not to think about it as "complaining" but rather as helpfully reporting a bug.

Last time someone bumped my other Chromecast post, that got it a response when it hadn't gotten one before, so I figured I'd try on this one. And even if it was not the response I was hoping for, at least you responded. I appreciate it. It was just the holiday time and I figured some posts might have slipped under the radar without being noticed since no one acknowledged it at all. It is tough to try to be a member of this community of perfectly reasonable posts just get ignored...

In my past experience with you guys (especially Dubbsy) he has really cared that his ROMs are working well and not buggy. I assumed that was still true. Especially since you included an advanced Oct Setting specifically regarding the Dock. Why put it there if you don't care if it works? If there is a way I can be helpful in this by providing logs or something, I would be more than happy to do so. Or how about if I gift one of you a dock so you can play around with it yourself? Who would be the best person to send one to?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I know this has been taken care of and everything. But just to note we are still after the same goal. AOSP+GPE+OctSettings=Team-OctOS. We want a perfect functioning ROM for everyone. Sometimes things don't work even when they should or are seen in the ROM. It's not because we were being lazy or overlooked anything. The dock particularly is or was due to the fact neither pur testers or ourselves found the error.

The reason I'm not on here as much anymore is because both Kevin(treken) and I are always working on the project. I get focused and it's hard to answer tons of questions.

We are striving to provide an experience that's not like others available. We keep inching towards our end goals but are getting a lot accomplished along the way.

We've been adding people to the team for graphics and coding. Also working with some testers who are showing they want to learn to become part of the team also. We plan to add many more people as time goes on. All with likemind of course. Pure vanilla base with extras hidden in case you want to use them. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdegroot:
Thanks for saying all that, Dubs! Your work is amazing! You're all doing great stuff with the ROM.

And I have good news - I just updated to your 1-2 release and Dock Audio is now working! Without the helper app mentioned in my original post. Not sure if this fix was intentional, due to the logs I sent, coincidental, or maybe it was never even broken and something was wrong with my specific setup. But after a new flash and a TB restore, it's working great. Thanks!
