Happy Friday!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
I used it to test 1 time, I never used it before I only tested it because it's a widely used app. Lots of people spend time getting it to work.

Lots spend time hacking to get it working.

Other that debloat and kill all the knox (security crap)

On any other rom I couldn't even install it from google play.

Read back a few pages I posted when I did it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ponyboy82:
Awesome! So I should just need to flash this + the MJ7 radios then, right?

I'm excited to try this out, and also get AWS and Apps-2-SD support!

Also, btw just a small bit of feedback, it might help avoid confusion to move the older Downloads section in the OP somewhere lower or label it as Legacy builds, etc, assuming the Aroma installer version is the way to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
If you want the new radios, yeah. Some prefer the old ones. My phone seems to like the newest radio best.

I'm trying to clean up the OP a little at a time as I go. Sorry, a little lack of forethought on my part. I really wasn't expecting this to be this popular being my first attempt at sharing someting that I put together.

THANKS EVERYONE....I really appreciate the support!!! :):)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ponyboy82:
Ha, no problem, I understand. You have one of the few 4.3 stock/TW-based roms out there, so I'm not surprised. I'm new to the S4, but was eager to try out some of the new features. I feel like I'm in the minority, but I actually kind of like Touchwiz, and am especially digging the "Air" features so far. :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
This is just for fun. I really don't expect donations. I will look and see if I can find a donation link for jrkruse and post it though.

If you're looking for a data point for reference - I've used AFT several times without issue - I've also transferred to/from PC without issue, and I haven't had any issues with Gmail since flashing (about 5 days ago). I've flashed the Volume Increase mod and yesterday added Xposed framework. So far no issues.

It shouldn't take anywhere near that long. Usually about 3 minutes. Have you checked the md5 of the download?

Did anyone update their kernel to the newer release? Off topic: are all the "cores" turned on all the time on the stock s4 kernel or are they on demand with only one running normally? I'm trying to match the Ktoonsez kernel as closely as possible to the stock kernel. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:
With the new update is slow motion camera fixed? It might be kernel related. Has anyone tried a different kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
The new build is using a different kernel, but no, still locks up and reboots.:(

Kernel

Here is the Stock_4_3_kernel_MJ5_v1.3_loki_d.zip for those that want to try different kernels and return to this one. This zip flashes kernel and reflashes root so you dont get the message asking you if you want to fix root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joeyx2:
Wifi was a little funny at first. Would freeze when I tried to connect after entering password but never forced closed and eventually took. Already seeing how different 4.3 is to 4.2.2. Looking forward to see the devs hook this bad boy up :D

Keyboards a little different to. Also noticed that you can swipe away the wifi notification so we won't need to flash a extra mod. Gonna try the reading mode out and see what's so great about it. Just froze all the knox apps to. I got Friday off so I'll be playing with it all day.

This is already looking nice. Much faster and smoother even with all the bloat. But wifi is kicking my ass. Worked great at home, but as soon as I got to work and tried to connect to the network here it got stuck, never connected and now the toggle is grayed out. No matter what I try to do I can't get it to toggle. Tried reflashing kernel and modem and still nothing. About to try a dirty flash, but even if that works I can't see myself dirty flashing every time I change networks.

Regardless, it's nice to see a 4.3 build out and working. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Yep, kicking mine too. Once I could get it to connect it would stay connected. But I bet that when you get back home it won't remember the passkey.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
I like how the first guy to get a 4.3 rom out is "old&slow" haha thanks for your work man.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Ironic huh.:p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cvondra:
First off THANK YOU for having the balls to release a MJ7 rom. Those of us who are not developers and have been sitting back with MDK/Loki greatly appreciate it to at least see progress of any sort. We aren't ******* who won't try things and work to help with feedback to make things better. Early adopters, like those of us who have purchased the Gear watch and refuse to return it even though its half baked on 4.2.2 are willing to work through issues.

So with that said these are the issues I've been running into:

Unable to get Samsung Apps Store to stick

Unable to figure out a way to get Visual Voice Mail working.

WiFi is the obvious whore in the group. For me I flat out couldn't get it to work at all. Wouldn't even turn on much of the time.

Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jerryatric:
Thank you for this. I did a clean install and worked great.

WiFi did work for me after a bit of a wait... But the one problem I had is it would never save the WiFi password through a reboot or turning off WiFi and turning back on. Every reboot I would have to open WiFi and reenter the password.

Anybody else experience this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
If you rooted and have file manager like root explorer for instance, did you go into /system/app/ and remove the .bak from the end of the vvm app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Happens to me too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jerryatric:
I really appreciate you getting this out though. It seems like no one cares about the Loki people anymore!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joeyx2:
Awesome! Testing now. Slow motion is working now for me. Will report any problems if I encounter any.

Edit: Bluetooth works for me to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Sorry, just to be clear, is this the kernel included in your new version of this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheRealStarkman:
Thanks for all your work...But damn the wifi will not connect. It tries and tries but no go. I even tried the wifi fix and that did not work. Any ideas or info I can give you to help figure this out?....I came from another rom so I wiped all before I started.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
When I hold the home button down why does my phone option menu pops up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rrockstar.kidd:
The kernel seems to be a legit stock kernel [MENTION=2169902]Redflea[/MENTION]

[MENTION=2735890]TheRealStarkman[/MENTION] no issues with wifi check the connection I didn't flash wifi fix first go and it wouldn't even turn on... so if your seeing your access point and its not connecting check your password or connection.

[MENTION=4286591]holla420[/MENTION] sounds like a dirty flash?¿ or maybe from exposed? Try wiping and go from there... no issues with home opening recent apps here..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Badger50:
I had the same thing. However, Nottach exposed 12 did the trick for me, as it also allowed me to change everything else in the status bar, notification panel, and lockscreen :D

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ironclad Lou:
Do you have Wanam installed? If so, you have to toggle the home button mapping to something different, reboot, then change it back. I've found this on all 4.3 ROMs where I've installed Xposed and Wanam. I don't think Xposed officially supports 4.3 yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobby janow:
I think Xposed supports 4.3 but Wanam is iffy. I have it working but def the latest version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 318sugarhill:
what is the difference between the stock kernel posted and ktoonsez kernel installed on the Rom....er Talexop kernel...now that I've reread the OP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
rom problems

I have noticed the people that did a clean install(wipe data/ wipe system/ wipe cache/ or wipe data factory reset) are not having near the problems (like slow motion camera the home button) as the people that dirty flashed the Aroma Installer over their rom. I suggest if your have problems factory reset phone wipe data system and cache install rom it will contain stock kernel with all the fixes. I also suggest flashing MJ7 radios If using Titanium backup to restore apps from a 4.2 rom backup restore user apps only no data but I recommend redownloading them from play store to kinda give this rom a fresh start you wont have near the troubles. If you flash diferrent kernels make sure to flash wifi fix each time and make sure you never click fix root if it ask you to in recovery. If you flash the stock kernel i posted it will reinstall superuser so you dont get the message asking you if you want to fix root.

---------- Post added at 09:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 AM ----------

The stock kernel is the Talexop kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ironclad Lou:
Absolutely right. I flipped them in the last sentence there. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 318sugarhill:
Thanks for the clarification. Most of my initial bugs went away except the AFT thing. I wiped cache and dalvik again....and on reboot I got the updating android box. That didn't happen on first instal. AFT persisted so I'm presently ref lashing after complete wipe again. Might as well use the aroma installer version now.

I always hear people say not to restore data with Titanium. Curious question because every time I do a reset..install a new rom, etc, my google account restores all my previous apps anyway. What's the point of titanium anymore if we shouldn't restore any data from apps? I learned from my incredible days never to restore system data from titanium (anything in red) but I've never had a problem restoring some apps data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mayze23:
I've restored app data many times for years with no problems using TiBu. As long as your not restoring data for system or root apps you shouldn't have any problems. At least I haven't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Capp5050:
This might have happened if you upgraded and restored your wifi access points from a backup. When it was happening to me, I was able to fix it by deleting the AP (long press, the Delete) and then re-adding it. PIA if you have a lot of AP's, but might work for you too.

Did you install using the aroma installer? Also what radios do you have installed. Mdk me7 or mj7

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wendemixda:
"To install:

Must be on SCH-i545 VZW S4

Must be on MDK build and have custom recovery (cwm or twrp)."

I'm kinda confused by "MDK build". I am still on MDK bootloader, I recently flashed an ME7 modem and I am currently running Hyperdrive. I don't use safestrap to flash my ROMs. Am I good to flash this ROM?

Edit: I am using touch CWM recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
I need to reword that. But yeah, you're good to go.

Edit: Fixed wording in OP to "MDK bootloader".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
MDK versions are the only ones that are Loki'd rooted that have the ability to have a custom recovery. So yes, just wipe and flash in recovery and your good.

If you want the toggle the way I did it is with the sqlite method to add it that's been around. Still works here. Don't have a link for you sorry.

Well usually when there's a tether unlock mod enabling the hot spot toggle doesn't ask you to subscribe to using that feature. I believe is undetectable but just wanted to verify.
