Understood on the above.

What changes were made with the version posted above? I will go ahead and assume it can be dirty flashed & dalvik/cache wiped since version remains the same as well as applications?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
all 4.4.1 should be able to be dirtied. I don't like dirty flashing though.

But as far as changes go it was mostly, everything AOSP has done over the past 2 days, and my goal for yesterday was to build out all 9 carriers so that builds would be faster from here on and so I could copy that working folder and edit it to build 4.4.2 without killing a working folder potentially. The first build of each carrier takes about 1.5-2hrs. Subsequent builds are about 20 mins.... so it was a full day to get all 9 made. :eek:

But good news is 4.4.2 seems to be building with no hiccups so far and it's about half done now it seems. :good:

Edit for clarity:

Changelogs are only really useful for when we add our Oct Stuff back in. AOSP changes almost daily in some form or another. So every sync, something has changed. Being we pull nearly 90% from AOSP direct for these builds....I can't tell you what all has changed specifically without digging into their commits.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdegroot:
So is the idea that once you get a successful 4.4.2 build, then you can add back in Aroma?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Treken:
Aroma isn't in our hind sites. We still have plans for it but for now we're working on getting a 4.4.2 stable release then we may focus back on our Aroma installer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s0m3f00l:
Hey guys FYI " if you dirty flash your going to have a bad time"

Just tried it with the 4.4.1 and all I can say is force reload city.... Factory Reset first and don't pizza when your supposed to french fry...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
This thing flies. Really interested to see the options added. Very impressed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ccrazythunder:
Tried installing this rom 4 different times and fried the sim card 4 times. Was trying to be tenacious and cover my bases with getting this rom installed but had sim card destroyed with each attempt to install this. Don't know if anyone else had this happen.?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cjkacz:
On jfltevzw?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grommish:
Destroyed how? Under what circumstances? The ROM doesn't touch the SD card on flash.

While I'm not in a position to deny something happened, more details would be helpful.

Which recovery?

Which carrier?

Do you use or have you used encryption services on your phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Prindle19:
Think he said Sim not sd
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
We are toying with changing up how we push the ROM to you guys. The new idea is to have a non aroma multi carrier ROM package that automagically installs the proper device specific files. Then have a separate aromified gapps+ package that would incorporate most of the options you are used to seeing in our previous aroma packages. The idea is to make it kinder to you all on the download sizes. One of our gapps+ packages would in theory not need to be updated as often.

The challenge here is allowing this method to survive flashing a newer ROM version if that is your choice. The existing methods of using the add-on scripts are limited and may not answer all issues we need to address because there are not EXACT files to backup and restore flashing a newer ROM version.

Please note guys, this is NOT an ETA on when aroma will arrive. In fact it is really simply to show you the challenges we face going forward beyond just implementing the KitKat source.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s0m3f00l:
4 sim cards? Hes probably trying to do a *228

This is the incorrect procedure for a LTE phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Treken:
I have to go with Grommish's response. Please provide us with extreme details for such an extreme situation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pmaxx:
Hi Dubbsy and team! Thanks much for continuing to work on this ROM. I installed the latest build (from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48450578&postcount=757) last night, and ran into black-screen issues when trying to put the camera into video recording mode.

I did some testing this morning, and installed just the build (factory reset, install, no gapps, no setup, just install and straight to camera), and I still experience the problem. I also had the 12-10 treken build lying around, so I tried the same thing with that one, and the video recording seemed to work just fine.

Anyhow, just wanted to let you know, and also see if you had any advice. I'd really like to switch over to this ROM as my DD, but I'm not sure if I should go reinstall everything with the 12-10 build and run that for awhile, or if we're close to 4.4.2, maybe it's better to wait on that.

Thanks again, and let me know if there's any more info I can provide!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
Thanks, a log would be helpful if you have it. However the video recording and even playback seems to be an issue on the latest build. We're definitely looking into it, as stability and functionality of essential features is of prime importance to us.

AOSP has been making alot of changes lately, so you may have to bear with us as we adapt to them all, but rest assured it's being worked on. Our goal is a 100% functional AOSP base, then add our features back in from there. All the changes take time, but I assure you the end result will be worth it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Prindle19:
The Trekken 4.4.1 Build from 12.11 is running really nicely, having replaced my initial OctOS DD from the first OctOS release.

I don't see Photospheres in the camera app, and initial camera load and system loads were slow, but are now fine.

The Bluetooth issue I was having with the first OctOS appears to be gone:

Every time I would disconnect from my car's Bluetooth, bluetooth would be turned off. That doesn't seem to be happening now.

Nice work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s0m3f00l:
I am having a great deal of trouble with video's (both YOUTUBE and browser videos play AUDIO only while VIDEO freezes) on the recently posted Dubbsy https://copy.com/cRR1L

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix that I am too stupid to find on the inter-webs or Teh googles??

EDIT: BTW I AM BACK ON DALVIK! ART IS WAAAY too buggy for my liking
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Treken:
Thanks. We are aware of the issue and trying to resolve it. We hope to get it worked out this week (not an ETA).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
Photosphere doesn't work in the included camera. Flash this, it will install a 4.3 camera app with working Photosphere. Do so at your own risk, however, as in we don't want bug reports if this has been installed.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/otaewwq5ji1gas7/PhotosphereGS4GEfixed.zip

That being said, it's worked great for me on every version of our rom I've tried it on thus far. Good luck.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
Only ROM where everything is running smooth. Camera, video, photosphere all work without fail. Bluetooth is the best I've used on any 4.4 ROM. Really excited for the next build to drop. Looking forward to the features being added as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckelly33:
What GAPPs with 4.4? I tried PA 4.4 but it won't boot past the Samsung screen (I had forgotten GAPPs initially and it DID boot up but didn't once I added them in)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
Which package are you using? Most of us on the team are running PA and they run great. Do be aware that 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 will need GApps from one of those 2, doesn't seem to work so well with just 4.4.

Do note that you'll want odexed GApps if you plan on using the ART runtime. Not that we officially support that, just a tip.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Thanks works perfect :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tsukasa Buddha:
Weird thing, when I try to tun it on while it is plugged in it just shows a battery, then some funky grey rectangle. I have to turn it off, unplug it, and then turn it on again.

Also, it looks like 4.3 shows a notification when you have USB debugging on. I turned it on when I rooted the phone, but should I keep that setting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
You can disable adb via the developer menu (settings>about phone> tap build number 7 times). We find it useful so keep it enabled by default.

And I too noticed you cant seem to power the device on while charging. I don't know what that is about. Not exactly a bug but an oddity for sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Can't wait to try this. As soon as the fix for shadowgun is done I will be flashing this so fast heads will spin. LoL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nickman529:
Now all we need is S-View... That would be awesome... Considering this has GE source in it, it can definitely be done..;)

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

I have to say, i like the rom. Even without the customization in settings. Xposed is nice and it does the job. After all, this rom isnt really supposed to be super tweaked (i dont think) so. Great job guys. Now get us S-View XD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MichaelMcEntire:
OK, well..Awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grommish:
This is the "Power Off, Battery Charge" animation. It still needs work, but its simply cosmetic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nickman529:
To all OctOS team members:

Do you think you might be able to add sview in. I really like using the sview cover and without its functionality.. well its really just a fancy screen protector lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lortay78:
Looks like a great rom. Doesn't seem to be possible to flash on developer edition though. I'm guessing it does a bootloader check and doesn't find a match. Pretty sure my bootloader version is I545OYUAMDK, but not 100% sure. I hope a fix is possible, because I'd really like to try this. Let me know if I can help, but I won't be near a pc for a few days.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I uploaded a new version of today's that has the elite kernel fix in it in case anyone wants it. Hopefully we'll have the next version done shortly.

It's possible eventually.

I might have missed it...how do I enable an advanced power menu with reboot, recover, and bootloader options?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mlin:
Don't mean to be a pain, but I'm trying to get a feel for this project.

You mention your goal is to offer the most customizable ROM to date. I'm wondering how this is more customizable than CM, AOKP, PA, PACman, SLIM, etc? All those ROMs offer a plethora of options that are hard coded into the ROM. Sure they don't use AROMA so is AROMA what makes this so "customizable?" For instance, what's the benefit/point of the "navbar mod" in AROMA vs just having a built in toggle somewhere in the settings menu? Seems like having options built into the ROM instead of AROMA is more convenient for the user...?

I haven't tried this yet, just came across the thread as I'm heading to bed but I'll give it a whirl tomorrow. If I've misunderstood the aim of the ROM, I apologize.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grommish:
Right now, you can do that in either Gravity box or xPose.

It will be an option in the future built in, I'm sure

So your questioning the ROM and options that you've not even seen? Seriously? Do you have any concept to what that actually comes off as?

My suggestion is to actually use the ROM. If you don't like it, want to piss on it, or the etc; You are cordially invited to find your happiness with any of the other ROMs you've mentioned (bad form anyway).

As always, the nandroid backup will set you free.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mlin:
Ummmm, okay. Just trying to understand the philosophy of aroma vs the alternative. Figured the question might bother a bit but I tried to word it gently so as not to offend, my bad, it seems I didn't succeed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daniel4653:
Darn it. MMS isn't working on Sprint.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
Running awesome, so glad it's finally here! My only question is which camera app/gallery to use for Photosphere? As of right now I can't even view ones I've taken in the past, with the GPe camera that worked great for Photosphere in GoogleEdition. Which app should I use, or is this not possible on AOSP yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grommish:
You are fine, tone can be a tricky thing online. I do invite you to try it, report bugs, add ideas.

This is the initial public offering, and as such, we need the good folks of XDA to break and suggest.

Aroma gives us the option of using one ROM across 2 confirmed carriers (and counting), with working towards more S4 variants. In HLX's hands, amazing things are already occurring with it, and more is to follow.

Phone not booting past the Samsung screen, I can get into TWRP and download mode. Wiping/formatting everything and reflashing. doesn't help a thing. Anyone know how to get me back on track? Can I just download the MDK .tar and install it via ODIN? Been searching for an hour and didn't find much on how to fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s0m3f00l:
Are you currently on MDK? How long did you wait at the samsung screen? Did you wipe the cache and DALVIK after the install of 4.4.1? After the install of GAPPS? It is a long reboot after the flash patience is a necessity. Please list exactly what you flashed.

I suggest you Odin back to mdk re root re flash recovery and start over. Don't no ever wipe internal SD card again

Anyone else seeing Google Voice Search from the home screen and from the google.now screen stop working. When I click the microphone I get a "can't reach google at the moment" error
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
For those with issues booting, make sure you are using TWRP 2.5.0.2. I know it's silly, but that is STILL the only recovery that works flawlessly without issues for me and many others. I ran 2.6.3.1 for a while and had similar problems booting and rebooting, often having to pull my battery. Went back to 2.5.0.2 and it's great. So use that one and see if the issue persists.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ropeguru:
Love the ROM so far. Thanks for all the hard work.

I have one question. I use my S4 with an iDock and Car Home Ultra and that part is working great. What I am tryingg to find out is if the phone app can be put into landscape mode. The car home works best for me, espicially with maps, when in the landscape position but when the phone app comes up it never rotates.

I know this is not a ROM specific issue but probably more of a Google Edition version issue.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckelly33:
Where can I find the 4.4.1 (or 2) build? The OP indicates a 4.3 base and the link dubbsy provided (post #757) a few days ago doesn't show any downloads available when it opens up.

Go to the very first post of this discussion and look for the text, "Primary [MENTION=4906580]xda-dev[/MENTION]DB : OctOS_Aroma_10.22.zip" under downloads and click on it. That text is a hyperlink to the ROM.

Well crap! I just flashed OctOS 4.4.1 and lost root. I updated SuperSU, still no dice. It says there are no binaries installed then closes. I uninstalled and reinstalled supersu and it still didn't work. ROM runs OK but I just finished flashing MDK recovery and rerooting because of other issues. Is there a quick method to get this back? Can I just ODIN the exploited kernel and run motochopper on it then replace with the original kernel and not have to do everything again? Am I missing something?!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Prindle19:
Why would we want to follow on Facebook or Twitter for "sneak peeks" when this thread exists?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grommish:
Let's see... I can paste a link to the Copy location, or spend an hour updating the DevDB for each device? Posts to XDA are stable milestones; old by definition.

It's your choice, I'm just providing an option. :):thumbup:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marleynyc:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marleynyc:
Oh Ok. Thanks for the info. Are they stable more-or-less as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grommish:
OK, here is how it works:

Code goes in, attempt to build. If it builds, it goes to the devboxes.

Crank out 9 builds. Time to build take anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours, per device, The time difference depends on what was changed.

Our testers get a crack at it, and we load it ourselves. No brick? Fantastic! Then to rebuild the phone since our testing group is hard core and never dirty flash. :what:

Assuming nothing serious happens, I'll maybe throw out that nightly to the crowd via Facebook, which links to our Twitter. They come down a few days later. Right now, we are building out 4 or more times a day, so more long term use is needed before a milestone release here.

Again, if I update the thread and update the DevDB I have to upload the ROM to 4 threads, update Gapp requirements, SuperSU, etc.

Dropping the link in Pages Manager is way easier.
