lol so I can do whatever I want with my device. Others agree. Now, kexec. Can you explain what that is for me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] prstorero:
Kexec is like a hijack of the kernel. It pretty much loads a custom kernel on top of the stock one.

prshosting.org
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] T Greezy:
Aw, I see. That would be nice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
The main benefit of getting kexec support would be that people could flash aosp roms. As im sure you already know currently there is only support for touchwiz based roms on ss.

Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk. now Free
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] T Greezy:
Yes. AOSP is a must. It would really help people with internal memory such as myself. Do you know if the boot loader itself is being worked on? Or are devs just exploiting it rather than fully unlocking it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] prstorero:
Pretty sure it isn't going to be unlocked. It never was for the S4 so it probably won't be.

prshosting.org
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
What do you mean by "whatever" you want? Install a ROM? Safestrap does that for you. Install a kernel? Hash is working on kexec.

I'm convinced most of the people complaining about the bootloader have no idea what they are talking about. You do realize that SS and kexec will be virtually grant you the same things an "unlocked" bootloader does.

Loki is another exploit on MDK devices that gives you the same capabilities, many people even think that the MDK has an unlocked bootloader, lmao.

Again I ask, what are you hoping to do with an unlocked bootloader that SS and kexec cannot do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] T Greezy:
Whoa there cowboy. Well for one, it won't be unlocked. So there's the obvious one. I'm not complaining, so there's one problem lol. I am very aware of what safestrap is. I just wish we could replace stock ROM, so we could have some more internal memory. If you caught that. :D totally grateful. Was just wondering and looks like bootloader won't be getting unlocked. Man...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
You asked for am honest opinion...I'm just letting you know. So you just wish to have more internal storage? You can try to flash a ROM on the stock rom slot.

It just seems like you have this obsession with the bootloader based on your threads created and the forum-wide PMs about the unlock petition.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] T Greezy:
No, 16 is enough. But its really 8 or something because of the OS. Obsession with the boot loader? Dude I just want carriers to stop locking up the bootloaders to my devices that I pay for. Just because its locked doesn't mean I want it unlocked. Done with this I just wanted info and I got it so thanks I guess.:rolleyes: petition has 250 sigs so pretty awesome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eric214:
So, Honest reply... bootloaders will be harder and harder to unlock some may never be broken. The point is... if you want unlocked bootloader... get a Developer Edition phone. Simple and no hassle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Muraki:
I know this may be a dumb question, but I honestly never realized that there was a developer edition phone, What is required in order to get one if I ever wanted/needed to in the future. I know I am currently new when it comes to Rooted and unlocking + custom roms, but so far I am addicted an interested in learning more!

For those that are looking at getting an S4, the VRUAMDK models are still out there and brand new, found many retailers having them in stock. Picked up my new S4 less then a week ago with this build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mlin:
I think if you want to try a different phone you should, even if its an iPhone. I used an iPhone 4s for about 8 months before returning to Android. After the honeymoon period I just got bored with the device and frustrated with the lack of functionality, much of which is addressed in iOS 7. That said, I am not super pleased with the S4. I recently purchased an HTC One and I think its a far better device. If I decide the camera on the One will perform to my standards I will sell my MDK S4.

I have rooted my Note 3 and remapped the navigation buttons to match the galaxy nexus I came from. Now that I don't have the menu button is there a way (maybe in the build.prop) to enable the onscreen menu button? If not is there a way to enable all onscreen navigation buttons for the note 3? I tried the "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" approach but it caused system ui to crash. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlz28:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gvaz:
Why would you want to when we have hardware buttons?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acr21:
I remapped my hardware buttons to match my galaxy nexus onscreen buttons (from left to right: Back, Home, Recent Apps). As you can see I don't have a menu button mapped. A lot of apps have the menu button in the UI but it doesn't show up if your device thinks it has a hardware menu button. So what I am looking for is a way to tell android that I do not have a hardware menu button. Thanks.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cetvxs:
Hey guys. After doing some research on some cases, it's come down to these two. Could people share their experiences with either one of these cases?

Also, evidently the thickness of the UAG is 12.3mm. Could an Obliq owner post the exact thickness of their case?

I also heard somewhere that the UAG polyurethane is a little saggy on the bottom. Any confirmation on this?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ThugosaurusRex:
Mines not saggy at all, if anything its too stiff.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cetvxs:
I've been trying to look for an image putting the case and the phone side by side; a level pic so you could compare thicknesses to the phone.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ikaris:
Hi everyone,

so I'm determined to learn how to use my Jasjar like a one-handed device, even though the form factor does not lend to it.

I know it's not meant to be a one-handed device... but I think it could be with the right software and workflow.

Yes, the Jasjar could use more face buttons, the screen moved up a little bit so your thumb falls right on it, an LCD screen on the flip-side with a numeric pad like the Nokia Communicator, etc... but I think it could still be salvaged, so to speak :)

One of the things I admire about the Treo is that it can easily be used one-handed, and the main reason for this is that the calendar / mail buttons and directional button allow you to navigate everthing you need... multiple presses of the calendar button switch between day / week / month view... a handy feature.

The side buttons on the Jasjar are not big or accessible enough to be usable in this way. However, I'm thinking that I could remap the directional buttons to calendar, mail, etc... to make it a little more usable one handed.

Just for phone calls, I could get a Jabra BT800 so I don't have to open the phone to see who's calling, but that doesn't solve the problem for the calendar or email.

To my knowledge, there are no other devices on the market that have the Jasjar's power (the Treo 650 is apparently more unstable than Windows Mobile 5, it has no built-in WiFi, the Treo 700w has a 240 x 240 screen, also no built-in WiFi, the Nokia E61 takes Mini-SD cards, and that hurts the max capacity, the K-Jam and PPC 6700 don't have the directional buttons near the middle so they are not as friendly to one-handed use, the Nokia Communicator doesn't have vibrate, etc...) and I can't really find something with the Jasjar's feature set with the Treo's usability.

Anyone had experience with this ? Can you suggest any software / shortcuts / workflows ?

Thanks !

@ikaris,

sorry mate the Treo 650 is much more stable than the JJ/WM5! Also my Treo is on for three days (24hrs a day) before it needs to be re-charged, unlike my Exec which run out off puff in about 15 hours. M$ got help from Palm to design new UI features of the Treo 700w as the Treo 650 is so easy to use one-handed. The Nokia 9500 is even more stable still, I only needed to reset it about twice in a year!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ikaris:
I was considering the Treo 650, but the lack of Bluetooth 1.2+, Wifi, limited RAM (even though the Jasjar is pretty close in free ram...)

I've heard bad things about the Enfora sled...

but I just love the simple one-handed usability of the Treo.

The 700w is nice, but the 240x240 screen and lack of integrated Wifi is killing me ! What were they thinking ?!

Ladies and Gentleman, I present to you...

Sultan Sense v2

This is a Sense 4.1 port I've been working on for a while. I finally got it to boot, so I decided to upload it for you guys! I've fixed a lot of stuff so far, but it's not done yet. You can consider this a work in progress since it's the first release and it's Sense 4 so it'll have issues. It's very fast and has good battery life. You can consider it a beta since I have decided to release the build without the AROMA installer.

But let's get into the important stuff, shall we?

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR DEVICE, IF YOU FAIL COLLEGE, YOUR PHONE RINGS IN CLASS AND YOU GET DETENTION. NOR AM I RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR AMAZE TURNS INTO AN IPHONE. But if your phone cures world hunger then I can be responsible :D

Do not kang, or use anything from any of my ROMs, threads, or anything I made without my permission. I will likely let you, but please just ask first! If I catch you I WILL report the moderators and show them the evidence you kanged me. Open source doesn't mean you can fork stuff from developers without asking permission, and then giving credit!

Team Nightmare for fixing stuff with their release, reading their thread made this a lot easier

Team Nightmare for the Nightmare kernel!

Chevycowboyusa for teaching me how to port, and showing me what to do in general. Be sure to thank him or this wouldn't have existed!

Ravike14 for answering my questions.

fahadskhan for awesome banners and stuff he made for me a while back.

HTC for being a useless company and not releasing the complete source we need. :D

Be sure to thank them all! :)

About this ROM

This ROM was named after me, and pretty much every Sultan I guess. (Fun fact: It's my last name :D) I decided that I wanted to port Sense 4.1 on my own and try and fix the Bluetooth, Wi-Fi tether, and Wi-Fi calling problems that we can see on ViperAmaze, Nightmare Sense 4, and Bulletproof! Unfortunately, no one has been successful in doing this yet, but miracles do happen! (They're common on XDA). HTC is real nice for not releasing all the source we need, and Qualcomm is pretty generous for abandoning our chipset, preventing us from getting JellyBean Sense 4.5. Anyway, let's see what's going to happen! (That was sarcasm if your English is bad, or if you're slow ;) )

HERE is the Q&A thread for this ROM. Post questions that don't pertain to development (like battery proeblems, SD problems, etc.) on that thread.

Well, more information will be leaked later, in the meantime,

REMEMBER TO PRESS MY THANKS BUTTON, I PUT A BUNCH OF HOURS IN THIS!

[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Thanks everyone. I need some feedback. :) I am also working on yet ANOTHER ROM which I'm trying to port. :cool: Porting is trial and error, especially getting it to boot!

Also I might add NRG tweaks where the viper tweaks was, it might be a pain to decompile the system UI. It's worth it since it works fine on Sense 4, but it looks strange because of Sense 4's white settings.

Yeah I might have to replace the apk, it might be a broken permission!

Next version will have AROMA, but I was planning on including not just two, but 3 kernels! It's just always a frenzy with AROMA.

And also happy Eid Mubarak to anyone celebrating it. :)

while opening an apk file it will say Sorry, no application available.

[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Just checked it - might be missing libs or something preventing apps from installing that aren't from Google Play.

There might be a workaround by using Titanium backup and restoring apps, or just by using Play Store. Yeah it's inconvenient but it's the first build lol.

Hopefully I'll get time to fix it soon in the 2nd release! :D

Looks like I've got NFC, Dialer, and third party apps not functioning properly. Not too bad for a first release but oh well, gotta fix them later.

Well, it looks like the NIGHTMARE kernel is destroying the competition. I hope you guys are being honest and not choosing Nightmare just because someone else did (that's called following the masses, bandwagoning, etc.)

[HTC Amaze 4G] Galaxysm:
If im on 4.0.3 and want this rom would I get a bootlopp or something?
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
To be honest, this ROM is buggy right now. There seems to be a broken permission in the updater-script.

Here's what's not working.

NFC (gonna fix later)

3rd Party apps (will be fixed later)

Dialer (Will fix later)

Bluetooth

Wi-Fi calling

Wi-Fi tether

(These 3 can hopefully be fixed, no one has yet succeeded yet though!)

If you wanna try it out, you need to make a NANDROID backup in 4EXT. :) It basically backs up your current ROM, you can also restore it later when you need it.

If you want to flash it, you need to go to the wipe menu and choose "Format ALL partitions" so you won't get a bootloop! You also most likely need to have done SuperCID since it's ported from the VilleC2 to the Amaze. :p

Not many will use it if they need a working phone, it's got a lot of bugs ATM. Next release more stuff will be fixed! :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Galaxysm:
Thanks buddy :b. I think im going to try the super sense rom. :p there shouldn't be any problems in there right? Its also 4 0.3?
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
There is apparently a small bug with mounting the ext_sd. Someone on the thread said they fixed it, but I'm going to re-make that ROM with a new base to fix all possible issues!

You may want to try out these two to suit your needs. They don't have issues. One is more Sense-like, the other is more on the AOSP side. :p

Alright guys, I'm going to downgrade the base to Sense 4, instead of Sense 4.1. Allow me to explain. :)

Basically, I'm not going to be able to fix Bluetooth or much without a Sense 4 base instead of Sense 4.1.

However, I'm going to add the Sense 4. 1 apks back so you all can enjoy a better experience.

When I get home I'm going to continue the nasty porting process (again) so we can get this ROM done! :thumbup::cool::thumbup:
