I tried bundling with the stock kernel and couldn't get it to boot. But then I'm no kernel dev and was using the kitchen which support for that ended quite a while ago.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] johnpwu:
Thanks so much for getting back to me. I hope you don't take this as a criticism, as it is an issue I have always had with the ktweaker kernel, personally, but my battery life is to quite where it once was. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate them, If not, I'll sit back and enjoy this great ROM. Thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
I'm in the same spot. The ktweaker app has so many settings it's overwhelming. I'm testing some things to see what works best for me but stock kernel worked great on 4.2 minus the camera features that did not work. My battery life is fine on this kernel and rom though. My only complaint is it seems to sleep too hard with this kernel. Like you said the rom is GREAT and this is nothing against the dev since this is the only way to get 4.3 to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
None taken at all:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amoeller:
I just dirty flashed this over stock rooted MDK and everything seems to be just fine. The only issue which I saw other people in this thread are having is the slow motion feature in the camera reboots the phone. My guess is it is a kernel issue. The only other (very minor) thing I found was in system/apps/ ContainerAgent.apk also had a ContainerAgent.apk.bak file that where the exact same file. No big deal. I just deleted the duplicate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Capp5050:
The Ktoonsez kernel is great. It does have a lot of variables you can configure, and if you take the time you may find some really great combinations.

WITH THAT SAID, if you're only looking for a stock experience, then you can do that very easily. Open Ktweaker, hit the 'Load Defaults' option, and you're good to go.

Well, technically if you want true stock, you'll probably want to change the governor to Ondemand (located under General --> CPU Governor); but the default Interactive is very similar.

Couldn't get BT to connect at all to my car phone. Anyone else? It's a great attempt by old&slow and much appreciated. I'm surprised no other dev has taken up the cause but I guess that's the way the locked bootloader bounces. Had to restore aosp rom for my BT which is probably a kernel issue so no criticism at all on the rom. Good job sir and thanks for the flash.

Connected to my vehicle stereo via Bluetooth yesterday for over two hours. Worked just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Luckily mine connects to my aftermarket Kenwood unit without a problem. Media still skips every once in a while though.

And I have a feeling andybones and possibly jrkruse might come out with something pretty soon. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobby janow:
Most BT issues on my devices were kernel related. No worries I have a great 4.3 aosp as a backup. This will come around in due time and I'll have something to flash again. I have no complaints whatsoever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ejohn3288:
Will this work on LOKI'D ME7 with twrp??? Also should I just wipe cache and dalvik cache before installing? Or just a dirty install?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Never saw it before on Bonestock, he must have removed it.

BT working for me as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Powell730:
BT works well for me except my car doesn't show my contacts name(just the phone # displays) when I place a call or someone calls me. It always worked until I flashed aosp several months ago, I guess I always thought it was due to custom roms but no one else seems to be having that issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loonie01:
Do anyone have a flashable aosp browser.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ejohn3288:
Are all the mods included in the rom dl or do we have to install all of them separately?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cell128:
Try this from play store. Same thing https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.android.browser

Thanks for the added options for mms your posts /help are greatly appreciated.

Would it be possible to enable Blocking and schedule message.?

[MENTION=3074508]old&slow[/MENTION] thanks for your time. Sweet thread

I haven't flashed anything for a long time. I was poking around yesterday and read this thread and decided to give it a go last night,

I'm glad I did, everything I use works perfect, a couple things to change and I'll be good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
You'll have to install them separately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Just to let people know Chronic's tw 4.3 kernel works also with this Rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Also for those that must have google wallet. No more mess getting it to work.

Installs right from the play store. I haven't tried to pay for anything but it's loaded and logged in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdub251:
Can you attest to battery life?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
To me it was very good, but I've always believed that battery life depends a lot on set up and usage. I avg 18 - 25 hrs with medium usage .

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] themac79:
Can someone please post the original mms app that comes with this rom. I flashed the aosp style mms and want to go back to the original. Not sure if it has to be deodexed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
You can Pull it out of the rom you downloaded. Or add the one from the op with add feathers turned on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
You'll need to dirty flash the rom again because there are changes to make it see the aosp mms that don't work with stock mms. I guess I still need to make a revert zip.:o

Oh, and after that you'll need to use a root file explorer and navigate to "/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/" and delete "mmssms.db , mmssms.dm-shm , and mmssms.db-wal" then reboot.

I forgot to mention, BACK UP MESSAGES FIRST, this will delete them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swgamez:
No problem mate :good:

I'll try to do the all multi window native mod
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zmedhaug:
So do i need to flash all of these mods separately?

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

When I had a tethering problem I installed one from the market, then the native one began working. I uninstalled the market one and the native one kept working
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] epicdraws:
Has anyone else had issues connecting to enterprise Wifi networks? I'm able to connect to my home network but my work network keeps looping between authenticating, obtaining IP, and then "saved" and it never connects. I have the issue both before and after flashing the wifi fix. Rom was flashed after a clean wipe.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
I installed this as well and it worked flawlessly first time around anywhere I tried it so far.

No issues with Wifi at all

I installed the rom with the fix in it already.

Thanks m8

Very much appreciated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] epicdraws:
Just a warning to others then, I'll have to flash back to 4.2 since I require WiFi at work since I do not have unlimited data.

What a shame, the ROM seems excellent and fast otherwise.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Did you flash the first one or second one I would gather if you installed the fix on the rom that was fixed already, something might of gotten tweaked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] epicdraws:
I flashed a ROM that had the fix first, but the problem was there. As an attempt to fix, I flashed the fix itself which didn't help. Please note home wifi worked fine on the original flash, ONLY corporate enterprise secured wifi is having troubles.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amoeller:
I am having the same exact issues with WiFi. Home WiFi works but enterprise secured WiFi won't connect. I was on MDK before and I didn't have any issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ecen92:
My WPA Enterprise connection is working fine here. Did have a problem with a WPA2-Home connection that I had to forget and re-setup but that was the worst of the WIFI issues for me!

BTW does anyone have a mod that will change the contact images from the stupid smiley face to something better perhaps just the android face?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Just curious. Have you tried the first build without the wifi fix? I just wonder if some of the changes in the fix are what's causing the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] epicdraws:
Nope. Is a build without the fix even available? As I understand, that had all wifi broken for everyone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EMSpilot:
Contacts

Are you looking to change these images?

View attachment 2388529

If so do you have an image in mind?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Yeah, the second download, right under the updated one. The wifi without the fix was definitely wonky but would eventually connect for most. But then it would not remember your credentials later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
Just an update to what I posted yesterday. I was having problems with waking the phone. The day before I was using power saving mode and I'm wondering if that caused problems even after I turned it off? I simple restored defaults in the ktweaker app and had no problems at all today. Is it possible something with power saving mode messes up the kernel settings even if it's turned off?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ecen92:
I am using both KT settings and power save mode, no issues, since I reloaded defaults.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ecen92:
Yes that's what I'm looking for, so that it changes both in that contact list and when your in the phone to dial them if also possible. In MDK I ran a mod called contactimage.zip I'll also attach that file and an example of the image here. Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zmedhaug:
You know if we can flash the radio it will not update the baseband, so we could use the stock kernel. Just need to find the stock radio :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
The radio wasn't included with this rom. So it's using what ever you had installed previously.

You can grab me7 radio or the mdk from the ME7 radio thread. I'd you need to test.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
Heres all the radios, just flash them in recovery. I would check the MD5's to be on the safe side. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46550751
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zmedhaug:
Ok now we have the radio yay! New we just need a stock kernel and a rom that is working with the stock kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
That file is vrtheme it's only images from what I looked at Secmms SecPhone.apk and SecContacts.apk

Backup those files and give it a go.

As long as those images aren't move since me7 or mdk it sound work.

I'll flash it when I get home. If you don't confirm before me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
This build only comes with Ktoons Loki'd kernel baked in. Apparently the 4.3TW stock kernel would not boot up correctly and there were issues with knox. The last Stock rom with stock kernel that I know of, would be a stock ME7 build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Badger50:
I can in fact confirm that the contactimage.zip works just fine :D

Try this. This is a complete proper replacement of all Contact images. Your zip was incomplete.

Please have a backup copy of SecContacts.apk, SecMms.apk and SecPhone.apk just in case. These are all in System/app.

Thread lightly cleaned. Take complaining either to PM with the specific and/or individual user or report it to moderator. Being disrespectful in posts does nothing in development threads.

As far as apps and zips, the real original stuff is done by the companies, we are all here to work together to learn how to mod said apps, sharing is part of this folks, as well as is giving credit.

Let's get back to developing, shall we?

So Far So Good

I'd been running Bonestock 1.1.4 up until a few days ago. Great, slightly modified stock TW 4.2.2 with Ktoonsez' kernel. So good in fact, that there haven't been any updates in a while.

So feeling a little flash-starved, I gave this a go, and I must say, that I've been pleasantly surprised. Everything seems to be running very smooth. Battery life is great, signal/speed on the MJ modem is great, everything seems to be working really well.

I've flashed the Volume Increase mod successfully, and I've frozen and/or removed some bloatware, but that's about it. I do miss some of the 'cleanup' that Bonsetock brought us (esp. in the notification bar), but word is that he's working on a 4.3 version, so I can wait.

Anyway, just wanted to say Thanks, and Well Done! :good:

Is there a stock battery zip? I need to get rid of this white battery icon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 3volution:
I have myself in quite a spot right now.

I was having issues so,I decided to do a fresh install,when I wiped,the file for [tw4.3]vruemj7-stock-deodexed was gone.

Now I am stuck in TWRP recovery and can't get USB to mount.

Could someone please PM me and help walk me through what to do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ironclad Lou:
Do you have a micro SD card? Just download the zip from a computer and pop it on the SD. Otherwise you can use adb to push the zip to your phone from a computer. Either way, you'll need a computer.

Sucks to be stuck in that position. I did it once with my Nexus 7. So used to keeping my zips on an external card I wiped the the internal storage without even thinking about. Fortunately, when you make the mistake once, you're not likely to make it again!

Edit: here's a link with a quick a dirty explanation of adb with some examples in case you need it. Good luck.

I do have a SD,in the process of downloading now.

So wrapped up in my paranoia,I forgot all about putting the rom on a SD,lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Using the zip you flashed the white battery, open it and

Replace the Systemui.apk with the one from the rom archive and flash it.

You will be set.

I'm sorry as this may not belong here but I thought I'd check with the others on this rom first. The new Google search will not open using okay Google like it does on my friends stock s4 with 4.3. Also, my phone gets hot and has excessive wakelocks when using the new search. Has anyone else updated using the newest apk and had the search bar update to the okay Google version? This is driving me nuts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Okay Google. I have the search bar and can speak to search apps Internet etc.

It's the latest according to Google play.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
Thank you. It will not work for me no !matter how many times I install it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Welcome the only thing that's buggy on this rom so far is words with friends.

Everything else works perfect.

Stuff I use every day that is.

I don't use that Google voice search app much. But it worked right off the bat. This mj7 is very stable. And the few mods out are also perfect.

I also killed the knox stuff and cleaned it up. Bareboned it.

A few tweaks. Solid daily driver.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ecen92:
Words with friends is working perfect for me, maybe time to delete data and cache from the all manager?

I don't use the voice search often but it's worked when I've tried.

Yep. Never looked till before it was way out of date and wasn't ticked to auto update @ google play. All good now ;) Thanks

What do you mean anyone on ME7 with custom recovery? Custom recovery is only available for those with the MDK build with loki. I have an original MDK with CWM touch recovery. I have the ME7 radio installed, and I've flashed this. If you have ever taken an OTA since you got the phone....no, you cannot use this. If you were ME7, Mi1, or MJ7 builds you do not, and cannot have custom recovery. Custom recovery was only available on MDK, after that they fixed the exploit, and no workaround has ever been found.....or at least publicly released. And NO....This doesn't work with Safestrap. The OP announced that in the first few posts.

To the OP....Thanks for this. Been waiting and hoping someone was working on this. I appreciate it. It is working for me but I am experiencing a few glitches. I may reflash and start over again. Last night I was having real problems getting Android File transfer to work. Every time I tried to move a file from my computer to the phone it would stop and say check the connection. Tried 2 different cables. Sometimes rebooting the phone would fix it, other times no. The second glitch I've come across is gmail stopped and crashed twice this morning, and it crashed while in system settings once as well.

I flashed the wifi fixed version, and i've flashed the extended power menu zip and the remove ascending ringtone volume zip. (man is the ascending ringtone the dumbest thing ever!). I haven't flashed any other mods yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Have you tried just wiping cache and dalvik in recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tada10:
Of course you can have ME7 and have custom recovery.

Has anyone managed to get Google Wallet working with this rom or any other MJ7 rom? Someone claimed to have got it working on MJ7 but I followed there directions and just got a NFC that force closed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ponyboy82:
Thanks for this. I'm actually brand new to the S4, but was lucky enough to get a new one that still had MDK. Needless to say, I immediately rooted it after activation before the update was forced on me. I installed CWM using Rom Manager, so I should just need to flash the MJ7 radios/firmware (or are those included?), this rom (I545VRUEMJ7-Stock-Deodex-Wifi_fixed.zip?), then the root.zip, correct? Is there anything else we need to do to protect our bootloader, etc? I'm a little scared to even reboot the phone more than I have to :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ecen92:
I think where the confusion comes in place is that for you to be able to run custom recovery you must be running the boot loader from MDK it is the only one that has the LOKI exploit. As long as you never took an OTA from MDK and loaded custom recovery you can flash any ROM i.e. MDK, ME7, MJ7 based or AOSP etc. You can also use the custom recovery or Odin to load the different modems/baseband from MDK, ME7, MI7, MJ7. Hope this helps. :good:
