Yeah I know there's a reason. I just prefer twrp bcuz I dont like the gestures on cwm. Its just a shame no one made a auto loki twrp.

Anyway I used your recovery for awhile and still good job on it man. Ive looked into using apk tools and trying to figure out how to deal with smali/bak smali and that sh*t is a real headache. Mad props

And you too shoman. I also wanted to compile my own roms and after 2 nights of trying to follow beginners guides I just said man screw this I work too much and dont have the patience to spend all my downtime doing this to hear so many people that dont read the op or faq whine about simple issues they could fix by reading 2 comments up. So mad props to you as well.

So just got time to update myself and yes Samsung what are you thinking. So it looks like for now our s4 will be here longer there was not even the option for the 64gb or 128gb. So you'll just wait for a few months for the better version like they did last year

Power by ShoStock / Tune By Jeboo / Graphics Designs by RockRatt
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SelfElevated2:
Yeah Samsung is just full of really stupid decisions this year. Between the s4 active(the down graded s4 with a little aluminum and slight water resistance), galaxy gear sucking ass(they were already making the better gear 2 which is why it's being released 5 months later), the s5 being a complete let down not even worth upgrading to, the locked bootloaders ( maybe the blame is att on that one tho). They need new advisors or something. It's really kinda frustrating
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] RockRatt:
Ya I was having higher hopes that what the S5 has to offer. The ONLY things that kind of interest me is the 16Gb camera, water and dust RESISTANT, and the heart monitor.

Same thing goes for the Gear 2, not sure about Tizen, Liked the camera and button placement and being water Resistant, heart rate monitor (I have high blood pressure and try to keep track of it, so I monitor my BPM as well). But it does not seem like an upgrade I would pay for.

I am GLAD we have Sho and Jeboo for the S4 as I don't think I will be upgrading this time. So I HOPE you two stick around and keep doing what you do SO GREAT... I've had the S1, S2, S3, and S4. But not enough changed on the S5 that we couldn't probably get working software wise for the S4.

I see the 'smearing' issue is back with the 4.4.2 build. I thought that was fixed way back on MDL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Just my opinion but I think the S5 is better suited for S3 owners to upgrade to just like us S2 owners upgraded to the S4.

(V5.0b5)

Updated base to XXUFNB8

Stock Repacked NB8 Kernel (Z-Patched, Permissive, Init.d)

Added transparent Accuweather widget

Removed BT popup when toggling BT on

Added Bootanimation.zip support

Added New SHOStock BootAnimation (Simple and smooth) Thank you JohnMcW!

Updated AdAway v2.8
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Baldilocks:
Installed the new ROM. Working great!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] markbc01:
+ 1 [and] ...thank you again! --Already happy that b4 update fixed my music, but pattern lock screen fix made me relax! I'm now safe (again) if I lose my S4 out in the world!

2. As to comments about "our" Shostock rom on other threads, well... user words don't define this rom. It's made its mark with superior functionality. Plus it's set itself apart by how Shostock delivers a richer implementation than stock. On both counts this rom excels! On its own merits it is terrific. Oh, also in comparison with other (actually rather good! Roms) it is STILL TERRIFIC.

3. Like others here, I try almost every possible implementation of S4 roms --not necessarily looking for something better, but just seeing how everyone else does it. This helps me learn more about custom-roms with every flash. In doing so, it never ceases to amaze me how two folks --working other careers btw-- can (with a little help from others) deliver a BETTER, and MORE PRODUCTIVE (& more FUN) rom than a giganormous multinational corporation --who even has all the code!

4. Oh. . . one more thing. Your thread is also edifying! Things like RockRatt's themes that pop up here, and even that recent "lesson in kernel development" expand my understanding of the moving parts. I won't ever use it (well, I do use RR themes sometimes;), but I learned more about what's under the hood and it makes me appreciate the custom roms we use even more. . Thanks...and now it's time for b5 :good::good::):)

EDIT: Wow. . . now that's start up animation! :)

The phone will be long outdated before you reach the MTBF for the EEPROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] markbc01:
I don't think it's the Rom, its probably some app --if you can see what information is collected that might point you to the app. Hopefully it's not malware and is just some app with either old system data or not tweaked for KK. . . .:confused:

= I, too, updated to the latest kernel, modem and build. WiFi works for me, but oddly I had to manually turn it on and re-log onto my home network.

= Also the Skiplock apk, which I use to lock my phone when away from home/work/known wifi nets, did not seem to recognize my networks; even though they were listed as safe/unlock environments in my settings. Deleting the WiFi networks and re-adding them back worked --kind of odd.

= WiFi is stable for me, but a bit slow -although I need to test again later since 9am on a work day here, with rain and winds is not the best or similar to normal conditions when I've speed tested. . .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bruceo:
I did a clean install as I always do but for some reason wifi and even mobile data it seems has an issue. Typically it hangs at first data request and eventually resolves and if I am using bluetooth it will disconnect sometimes and I'm not sure if that is due to wifi problems or just random issue. When I am connected to a wifi at a certain location where I know it is usually 2 bars when it hangs i'll see that it is reporting 5 bars and both arrows solid. I know that android has had many issues between wifi and bluetooth so I am hoping that they are not rearing up again as has the blurred text while scrolling issue. I am thinking I should flash the new kit kat modem and see if that helps.

I also noticed that when I am using voxer and I cover the proximity sensor it shifts from headset to speaker which is opposite of what it should be, which could be a voxer/kitkat compatibility issue but I am pretty sure that hadnt happened on previous kit kat builds.

Well so far it looks like the new modem flash has done the trick. My media streams are back to instant google voice dictation is not lagging, not sure if bluetooth will stay solid but looks promising. I dont know how it could be related but the audio switching with proximity sensor in voxer is working properly....

Just curious. Am I the only one who misses Sho's

Enhanced Ripple Effect

that was present in this ROM before it went to ver 5 beta? I have used this up to ver. 4 and really loved the effect at the lock screen. I have since asked about it in a couple of posts but it seems to be overlooked. Did the change from 4.3 to 4.4.2 cause it not to work anymore? The built in one is so lame in comparison (the one from Samsung)

Shoman could you address the questions for me? I know it has something to do with android.policy.jar, I tried to use the one from ver. 4 in one of the betas but I think because of the change from 4.3 to 4.4.2 it was a no go. Please let me know if I am after something elusive or otherwise.
