Right, so is there somewhere to get a non-loki'd version of 2.5.0.2? The one linked in your sig says it's patched and I couldn't find one on TWRP's site.

Do you know if the guy Hlx was working with was just using that one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
He says he uses lokid recoveries. [MENTION=2656331]markwebb[/MENTION] is they guy who helped me get the dev supported and maybe he can chime in. But by all reports the lokied recoveries are fine. If you want to install version 2.5.0.2 you can try my twrp aroma installer found here https://copy.com/HMsit. Thru it you can install any version of twrp for the Verizon gs4. If you continue to have issues, delete all twrp files and folders from internal storage and microsd

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reznaur:
Thanks - i'll give that a shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markwebb:
Yes, am here. I use this non loki philz recovery: http://d-h.st/DRt w/o a hitch on the Dev Edition. Every ROM has installed as well as every backup/recovery with this version for me.

He has newer versions posted here as well. Make sure you choose the correct vzw file.

http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=18376#files

I, too, experienced those long reboots on this latest ROM RC release except when I install the Google version. Otherwise, if I choose custom install I got those long reboots. True, no data in both scenarios if you choose the stock kernel, but I know the devs are working on that issue. You can try another kernel as data might work. I did try Elite kernel and my phone had random reboots and incoming/outgoing calls were not functioning using speakerphone, but am not sure that is ROM/kernel related.

I have since switched back to RC2 which works quite well for me! You might want to use the recovery I listed above and RC2. Hope this helps!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Inkedadrenaline:
I really like how smooth and simple this rom is, but is there any way to flash or enable a dark mode like other aosp roms have? If it did it'd be perfect imo
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grommish:
It supports T-Mobile theme engine. I'm sure there is a theme out there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reznaur:
I just flashed TWRP 2.5.0.2 from Hlx's Aroma installer and was able to get RC3 to work all the way (it even booted pretty quickly). Only issue i've encountered so far is Google Now doesn't work (it tells me it can't talk to the network even though data/wifi works fine).

Thanks for the help guys.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markwebb:
Thanks for the heads up on the Aroma Installer: i will try it although I love my Google Now and would miss it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reznaur:
Yeah I love GNow too... not sure what's up with that. Going to try for a few days but may go back if I can't get it to work.

Update: GNow works after a reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markwebb:
Arrgh. I flashed the TWRP link and then RC3: No data for me. :( Did you use stock kernel or another kernel? I chose stock kernel and custom install. My baseband version still says unknown. Oh well. This issue seems to be different on each dev phone, perhaps? Back to RC2 for me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Clancya:
Awesome ROM with just the right amount of customization. Does the dialer have t9 dialing? Running Ktoonz kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grommish:
Use Elite for the time being for your kernel. Certainly won't hurt anything. Seems to be a VZW variant issue. But since everyone but me has VZW, it'll be addressed!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cheater912:
Any chance of auto-installing the Xposed framework? That would be epic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lortay78:
For what it's worth, I'm on dev edition running latest twrp. I do think 2.5.0.2 is more stable, but the lol I'd recovery doesn't cause an issue for me at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reznaur:
I used stock kernel and custom install. Dunno - I had that problem over and over so not sure what the trick is :/

Keep trying!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
One thing to note about boot time is if you pick a preset there isn't nearly the amount of apps or files that need to be optimized by the ROM on first boot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
We could but it's not gong to happen because we wouldn't want a hacked fw in by default. In case you don't know what it does it pretty hijacks your system. In fact if you get it all the way you want it... Then reboot to recovery abs fix permissions it'll disable xposed. :)

just a couple quick ?'s. on the lock screen the octos logo in conflicting with the lock logo, is this being fixed or is there a way to fix it? can you modify the navbar, if so where? can you add shortcuts to the lock slider, if so where? thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Highway 55:
OctOS logo is supposed to be in the lock ring. You can select the standard lock ring logo in aroma prior to installation if you want. Use xposed framework + gravitybox module for the rest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] michaelgg13:
thanks, I understand the logo is supposed to be in the lock ring but the octos logo is sitting on top of the original lock logo and they conflict with each other.

Usage report

I've had this ROM running for the past 24 hours and these are my findings:

Not compatible with KT-SG4 kernel. I wanted to continue using this solid kernel but no matter what I tried, I couldn't get it to successfully boot with with KT-SG4 10.20.2013. In the interim, I went with AGAT's kernel.

Poweramp will not play any music. I have contacted the developer and he is stumped. This very well could be overzealous anti-piracy...I have read other posts that said updating the ROM to the newest AOSP/Android build broke the program until an update came out. Google Play Music works but will not play through Bluetooth.

Random lockups. I've had 3 so far (in 24 hours)...my previous configuration (see signature) never locked up. Even with overclocking profile enabled.

I know this is a beta build and appreciate the time and effort from the OctOS team! I'd love to help in any way I can. OctOS has been my daily driver since pretty much day 1 of getting this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lukelee83:
Poweramp works for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] red3razor:
[MENTION=5460079]theHoleK[/MENTION]

I'm on the 10-16-13 KT kernel. Been running this solid since the day rc3 released on the 18th. No FC's, very good battery life as well. May try previous KT build?

I'm also using the suggested TWRP 2.5.0.2 that seems to play most nicely with our phones. Loki'd and linked in Orig. Android Development.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theHoleK:
I'm not going to downgrade TWRP as I've never had a problem with anything else. I've give KT 10/16 a try and report back.

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

KT 10/16 booted up perfectly. Poweramp still won't play music. Thanks for the suggestion! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grommish:
You can run any recovery you'd like, but unless your on a supported recovery and version, we can't take bug reports from you.

2.6.0.0 did BAD things to the S4. I've not tried 2.6.3.0, but until I have a reason to switch, I'm not planning on it. I'll stick with 2.5.0.2 for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cjkacz:
Nevermind ;)

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

I really tried hard to like 2.6.3.0 but it constantly froze on twrp screen. Switched back to 2.5.0.2 and have not had one issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theHoleK:
I had that once...it was caused by me holding the volume up key too long. I hold power and vol up until the vibration, release the power button, and as soon as I see the Samsung screen, release the vol up key and it works every time. Of course, now with the improved power menu, I just click reboot>>recovery and viola!

However, since I really do want to improve OctOS by submitting official bug reports, I'm in the process of downgrading now.

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

Downgraded recovery to TWRP 2.5.0.2 and tried to update to KT 10/20. Still won't boot. Installed KT 10/16 and it boots fine. Poweramp will not play music. I'll report back about stability/lock-ups after running this config for a while.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cjkacz:
Can you post a logcat?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
This is so true. Unfortunately for me TWRP 2.5.0.2 was giving me a hell of a time so I had to switch to Philz. I forgot how far behind CWM is in terms of graphical UI and layout.

If you are running TWRP 2.5.0.2 ever again follow the link in my sig and download my theme for it. I'm a fan of dark and orange.... So I made a black and orange TWRP theme for 2.5-2.6

If you think regular twrp looks good....you'll love this.

The TWRP I intend to build will default be laid out similar to my theme.

There are a ton of TWRP themes out to that are really nice.

Ok, just fired up new release,

Unfortunately, same issues exist on Dev Phone, i.e., stock kernel (still says unknown baseband) and no 4g/LTE data.

Also, this first time issue for me:upon initial reboot and subsequent reboots, I get the usual Samsung Unlock screen but now this time no OctOs boot animation screen except for a black screen and then phone initiates. :(

Update: Tried Elite Kernel and Agats kernel. Again, no OctOs boot animation except for black screen. And, no 4g/LTE data. Baseband still says unknown. I did try changing the networks and toggling Airplane mode but no go.

Flashed back to RC2 recovery which runs flawlessly for me. I will try flashing again later today with another kernel.

You don't flash it. Rename it to ui.xml and then make a folder called theme inside of your TWRP folder. I was going to make it flashable but never got around to it.

Mobi Mail app fail

Dubs,

Attached is a log of mobi mail failing to open on the latest version of the ROM. No other logs captured anything but the main logcat. Any ideas? Could it be this app dev hasn't updated for 4.3 yet? I did a force stop and clear data and nothing. Uninstall and re-install too. Wondering if I have to delete the folder on the storage too?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Well, that explains a lot. Thanks Dubbsy!

Sound

So I am just coming from Dubs previous GE rom... Only thing I am noticing is the sound output on the speaker is a bit low. Has anyone else seen this? All volumes are up. Just a bit low. I've tested with another S4 I have using TW and other Roms and the sound is much higher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Not yet, And no ETA. Far too many more important things need done right now

Yeah it's low, same method of raising volumes for any samsung should work. There is a xposed module for it and also a write up in the 9505 section.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] edif30:
Will look into the xposed fix but is this something that will be tweaked for future releases?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PSBJ:
Oh I meant to ask.

When 4.4 comes out how soon do you think you'll have a build ready to release? Or are you going to just keep working with 4.3.1?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grommish:
Unfortunately, You are a VZW user. Verizon Wireless has made the decision to lock their bootloaders, meaning you cannot use this ROM. This either happened prior to you receiving your device, or after via Over-The-Air (OTA) update. In either case, you are limited to SafeStrap-able ROMs
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GreatDayChap:
Having issues connecting to Google services on the latest build, it will try to connect for a few seconds then return a message saying it couldn't connect to the server. This has happened with G+, Keep, Hangouts, etc. It seems I'm able to use the Play Store with no issues, though. VZW, agat kernel, full wiped + wiped cache and dalvik after. Syslog is returning an error when I try to take a log, what are my options from here to provide a log?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Eventually everything will be perfect as installed by any of the presets. Sound being one of the things. Once you add apps guaranteed stability is gone

Since starting this project the day aosp updated we had a new build installed on our phones. I was deligated the guy to update our manifests and random update bits. But 4.4 will likely be a bunch of repo changes all together so It'll be a fully team effot. BUT The day it releases I will have it on MY phone. Whether it will be ready for everyone else or not depends how well it works and it's aroma integration

Yarp.

If you are being serious, then yes you can. We have to Donalds on our team. Grom is the Donald that built that installer. My installer from the day before is named the same minus a day and with Dubbsy. I go by dubbsy in real life except at work... Mostly anyway. My best friend's kid who is 2 calls me "Uncie Bubbs" lol

Glad you found it. Watch it though it gets obnooxious loud....

That was written as a fail safe to help those who don't help themselves. Keep the people who don't read from getting hard bricks. ME7 cannot install anything without a me7 TW kernel. It says that clearly in the safe strap thread, which I am sure you read thoroughly.

Basically, the assert checks your bootloader. If your bootoader says MDK, you are in...if not, you're out.

The one I used is a flash-able mod. On your previous GE ROM it worked fine. This one it renders the phone calling useless. Making calls results in no sound and the phone will crash and reboot. What is weird is after I factory reset, cache, and re-install with no sound mod... The volume seems normal. Perhaps the first install something got hammed up. But all good now.

I think a game shouldn't even have the permissions to check root. You'd be granting it a lot more than it should nees for a GAME.
