I know it can't be done but I swear if you were able to get WiFi calling on a GE ROM working I'd love you and come shake your hand personally. I recently decided to try out a TW based ROM and lets say I'm not a happy camper. I'm torn because I work in an area where there's absolutely no reception all day, but I can do WiFi calling... ugh! I love love love your ROM as a daily driver, but this reception thing is going to kill me. I also like the TW camera, but that's minor, I could live with the AOSP camera.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] daddysays:
Is there a way to boost audio output? I feel like stock audio was louder...

Loving this room by the way, it is unbelievably responsive. Soooo happy to be free of tw.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tha Maxx:
Try using viper audio. Or xposed framework modules...

Sent from my Hyperdrive injected jfltetmo!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] matthewdavis:
Name of module? I didn't see any that may solve this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] daddysays:
Yeah I can't find an xposed mod either, and I would love to try viper but don't read Chinese... there are like 50 of them and they all do different things i think...

Edit:

I installed the Xhifi one or something like that, and it asked to install driver, pretty sure its the cortex one with neon, but it just asks over and over, and doesnt change anything. I check the boxes, uncheck the boxes, mess with the settings, nothing changes. Dont think Viper can work with this rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Operation-A:
Does the ROM work with S view does it have the GS4 Lockscreen as an option
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
This one is the latest for our phones. If you don't want distortion leave the master limiter at 0. I selected battery saving option when prompted to install the driver.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dR03:
It does work with s-view, however, there is no slide to answer when you receive a call. Slide to snooze/cancel alarm does work however. Opening/Closing the s-view cover works as well.

I wonder if Danvdh could incorporate the slide to answer function in a newer release?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Got a cracking new years day release upcoming for you guys, I had my buddy ktoonsez make us up a kernel

-Pure stock GE 4.4

-Built with GCC 4.8 toolchains

-Kernel dmesg spam reduced significantly for speed and battery life :)

-Trinity colors set to stock cool colors :)

The Trinity part of the kernel is the big one, I ship the ROM just how CM and others ship it, you will notice there is less orange in the whites and they look alot better, I find the cold colors are just too blue but cool colors are perfect and will look alot better

also I plan to update Gravitybox as that saw an update, and to anyone on my current release I will release the kernel in a flash zip format

Big thanks to Ktoonsez, I talked with him and fed him the idea to build a stock kernel and this thing really takes off, there is no need to do anything else to it, everything works out of the box. it's great for the community and this ROM and great for him, he only needs to build once and never needs to update it until samsung releases more source for future builds of GE
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dR03:
So will this be a replacement for this ROM? I take it the new kernel will already be built in so no need to flash ktweaker kernel anymore...

Great work by the way...I really LOVE this ROM, it's a great daily driver.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
This kernel will replace the stock kernel in this ROM, it performs better and will offer users better color on the LCD display. if you use ktoonsez's mainline advanced kernel you can go ahead and flash that over top once I release tomorrow :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoboBrazil:
Will this still come with the ktweaker app? What are the stock kernel settings going to be built for? Battery life? I used ktoonsez kernel before and wasn't that happy with the results.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
The kernel is stock, nothing has changed except dmesg spam has been reduced to up performance and trinity colors are enabled, it doesnt come with ktweaker at all. it will feel like the stock GE kernel from Samsung, except it is compiled with GCC 4.8 and will perform much better out of the box

there will be no need to adjust any kernel settings at all, it's just a purely optimized stock kernel with no extra addons except whats pointed out in my original post

the big thing you will notice like I said before is how much better the screen color temperature will be
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dR03:
Thanks for the clarification.

Do you know if the s-view slide to answer function is strictly a GE ROM function? As in, if it's not a function in the GE stock ROM then there's no way to add that functionality? I guess I can't see why they would have left it out for the answer function but left the swipe option on for the alarm..??? Seems strange to me...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
simple, Google redid contacts and the phone app and Samsung didn't enable the feature, it won't work until Samsung makes it work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoboBrazil:
Thanks, that's great, can't wait to try it out. Been noticing my phone gets much hotter on this rom while web browsing and doing stuff with the phone compared to touchwiz. Am I the only one experiencing this? Also is it possible to use the stock samsung touchwiz browser on this rom? If so, does anyone have a link?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Sammy browser needs twframework-res so it will not work on GE 4.4.x

The kernel like I said before will clean up, after looking over the source and learning from ktoonsez on exactly how samsuck goes about making their kernels, The stock kernel really isn't good at all lol, Compiled with GCC 4.8 and the dmesg spam reduced will improve things a crapload vs the stock Samsung kernel (using the exact same source)

this is much improved compile of the Samsung stock kernel, The proper screen color tempature is reason enough to use this kernel over the stock, believe me.. ktoonsez knows what he's doing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
Well that's terrific because I only make three adjustments to ktoon s kernels.

-Trinity colors set to cool

- max CPU off screen speed to 810

- Read ahead for both emmc and SD to 2048
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoboBrazil:
Great can't wait:highfive: I still haven't found a browser as good as the samsung one. AOSP is ok, but it doesn't have page history like in most other browsers where it shows pages you have been to if you start typing in the beginning. I'm on Chrome, but it's a battery hog.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] skygear:
I read 4.4 in this release. Was that many to be 4.4.2 and 4.8?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
I'm rapeing the refresh button for release of new rom. Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
check back around midnight or a bit later

it's a new years release

also adding pics2sd to the ROM, only makes sense
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
Already use it and it works as intended, with no deterioration of video quality because of slower write speeds to SD
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
Happy new year. Almost
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

upload in progress ;)

01/01/2014

-Happy new year!

-Custom kernel by ktoonsez (PURE STOCK)

-Compiled with GCC 4.8 toolchains

-Kernel dmesg spam reduced significantly for better battery life

-Trinity colors set to cool

-No need to tweak anything, this is a special kernel made for this ROM (No ktweaker)

-Updated Gravitybox

-added pictures to ext SD card support (Xposed module)

-ART removed ( no need for this experimental buggy feature, not needed as dalvik that's optimized is much more supported)

-Removed google gallery (seriously, this apk needs work by google to be of any use whatsoever, use quickpic from the market for your gallery. TRUST ME!)

The Trinity part of the kernel is the big one, I ship the ROM just how CM and others ship it, you will notice there is less orange in the whites and they look alot better, I find the cold colors are just too blue but cool colors are perfect and will look alot better

Big thanks to my buddy Ktoonsez, I talked with him and fed him the idea to build a stock kernel and this thing really takes off, there is no need to do anything else to it, everything works out of the box. it's great for the community and this ROM and great for him, he only needs to build once and never needs to update it until samsung releases more source for future builds of GE. I can safely say this is now the most optimized build of google edition available on XDA, The kernel from ktoonsez paired with qualcomm optimized dalvik and bionic binary makes for a blazing fast ROM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
Can we get the kernel zip? Kinda like using art.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
will provide that zip afterwards, not sure how compatibility with GCC 4.8 toolchains is with ART but on dalvik (which I still suggest using over ART especially since its benchmarking the same as ART on this ROM thanks to motorola and there massive optimizations to the binary) the performance increase is very noticeable, I ship with xposed modules which should make it very clear I am not a ART user
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Thanks a ton man! I personally don't see why people even bother using ART right now. Yes it's smooth, but it has a much greater downside than up with all the bugs it causes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
build is up

here is a kernel link

The only bugs Iv noticed with art is gamming but I'm not a mobile gammer
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Hey man, you use your phone however the hell you want to use YOUR phone ;)

cheers and I hope the kernel plays well with ART, should be fine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
Your king danvdh of updates thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Operation-A:
Ugh I really want to try this ROM!!! KitKat or 4.3 decisions decisions I have been trying to decide for some time now.... Dan your work looks phenomenal. Sigh decisions
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
It's a no brainer, use this ROM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
Dude yes!!! Colors awesome! Very fast flashed kernel still using art on your previous build.

Right from the boot animation you know something is cooking, boot animation does not lag anymore and rom is more fluid.

Thank you and the kernel developer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Operation-A:
S-View... WiFi Calling.... Sigh I just don't know anymore... My old Gs2 ran KitKat... I had the experience it was clean it was fluid... But... 4.3 TW Darthstalker is as i said Touchwiz... good ROM but cluttered with text Even the notification bar.... KitKat has a clean design its not a ROM problem its a style issue. I love the Galaxy s 4 lock screen... Smart stay is useful at times. Hrmmm Danvdh can I have a honest opinion in an AOSP GPe point of view. Is the Galaxy S 4 better as an GPe or Samsung Smart phone? Aghh decisionsss
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
It's cleaner, the battery life is better but you lose S-VIEW for calls and WIFI calling

this ROM is made by Samsung so everything works right out of the box
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ktoonsez:
Enjoy guys!!!!!!!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] polo79:
Hey Danvdh, update is awesome so far.

I chose the pics to sd option and I don't have a normal gallery app. Not a big deal because the Google+ includes one but just wondering if that is normal. Thanks dude!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
Ktoonsez thank you so freaking much for this kernel I would kiss you but I'm not like that! Lol but seriously just wow awesome work love the colors and boot animation sped and overall performance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
From the og droid through a droid incredible, a Samsung galaxy s, a dinc 2 and a Galaxy Nexus this this unequivocally the best ROM- Kernel combo I have ever run.

Thank you both Dan and Ktoonsez for your hard work and dedication.

On a side note , my wife is gonna kill me for writing this ten minutes before New Year's.

Happy new year everyone!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tidhar:
Thanks for a great ROM and have a great New Year.

If flashing the new version over the previous version, do I need to do a clean install with full wipe?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pgallard:
WOW New Year New ROM.

I just install the new rom and I think the new kernel ( ktweaker ) does not support a 64GB Micro SD card. I hope I am wrong, but when I finish the installation the rom dosent read my 64GB Sd card.

Any idea how to fix that?

Thanks

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tenxo:
Having the same issue with 64 gig card...flashed and downloaded 3 different clean times with the same problem. Restored my backup all was fine. Then flashed just the kernel to confirm my theory and bam SD unmount.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pgallard:
I was hoping not to be the kernel but if you have the same problem with your SD card we are &%#@

Any buddy know how we can fix this?

[MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] would you recommend the new stock kernel or the full featured kt kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ktoonsez:
You guys around to test? You are using my STOCK kernel that came with the newest ROM right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ktoonsez:
He asked me to build this for him to keep things SIMPLE for the noobs that just need a ROM with simple features, flash mine if you like all the customization :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ktoonsez:
exFAT test

Think I found the usual idiotic Samsung typo so exFAT did NOT build. This should get exFAT going :good:.

Let me know if that gets it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
I stay away from 64g cards to much trouble.

Any on a side note here is the link for ktwearker app.

http://d-h.st/V6F

I use it with the stock kernel to change gamma, go into app and under MdNi background mode change it to standard. Makes the blacks deeper and colors pop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrgonzodad:
I can see my 64gb card now, thanks ktoonsez
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ktoonsez:
Cooooooooool, just sent Dan a text so Im sure he will get on this ASAP :good:. Thanks for testing :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pgallard:
YES YES WORKS PERFECTLY

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Again Thanks for your fix work perfectly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Disconn3ct:
Is there anything odd about the full-device encryption on this rom? It is working for the most part, but for some reason I can't get recovery to even prompt for the password. (It just says failed to mount /data.)

I've tried both twrp 2.6.3.1 and philz 6.00.8. (Both downloaded/installed manually for the tmo s4, and both support full device encryption.)

I'm sure its something on my end, just hoping someone else has hit it too..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
uploading a build with this fixed now boss

great work as usual, had no way to test exfat when we were testing this kernel the other night, that would be why it made it into the build
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrgonzodad:
Is it okay to dirty flash the latest build over the previous one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
full wipe and install 01/01/2014b

I'm adding it to the OP now, it fixes ExFat

you won't need to flash for a long while after this, I promise

edit: the build is up, Enjoy the stock KT goodness!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pgallard:
I appreciated guys for this incredible ROM and for the fast response with the SD card problem.

Best ROM EVER
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] m0nk89:
I'm on the 12/19 build with MK2 baseband but I'm having data issues. Not sure if this is the data drop issue experienced on 4.3+ roms, but once in a while, my LTE data gets incredibly laggy and slow. Speed tests will give me results of 0.02mbps, while usually i get 25+. It only happens around once a day, and goes away randomly. Anyone else have this issue??

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
double check APN's and stuff, T-mo is touchy based on which tower you are connected or area

Try the latest build, the kernel just got a hell of alot better
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] m0nk89:
APN look fine, i'm on straight talk so i deleted all T-mobile ones. I'll try reflashing modem and flashing new build. thanks for an awesome rom!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
these kinds of comments are very motivational for me

Thank you very much for your kind words, enjoy the ROM and happy new year!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] disturkis4u:
Videos in Facebook don't play. Is this because the gallery was removed? :confused:

Can you provide a flashable version of the gallery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
use mxplayer from the market, you need a video player and this one is the best of the best

trust me, stock gallery is half assed and not working well with ext sdcard, also creates alot of spam in debug, google needs to fix this app
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sdkk67:
Have to say great ROM,I did find that you can't pick a custom background for lock screen, it must match home wallpaper,unless I missed something. I did a complete wipe and md5 matched.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] disturkis4u:
Thanks, I figured it was the lack of video player and tried out 3 of them but none worked for FB. MX Player does work :thumbup::thumbup:

Great ROM. Strangely I get slightly better LTE reception with the non-LTE APN (epc.tmobile.com) than the LTE APN (fast.tmobile.com). The 2 APN I mentioned are presets in the ROM (I didnt add or modify them). I get 1-2 more bars on the non-LTE APN, which is the default APN when I installed the ROM. I'm about 35 miles east of Los Angeles.

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

I think it's so crazy when people post all this battery life and screen time stuff. These pictures show that you have 2.5 hours of screen time but it also shows that the only "apps" you used are Plume and TheScore. Do you not have anything syncing in background; such as email?

I would also expect to see amazing battery life if I wasn't "really" using my phone. I am not bashing, I just always find it curious. No matter what I do to my phone on any ROM I cannot go more than a full workday without having to plug the phone in at some point. And yes I have done my best to minimize backround activity through checking wakelocks and using apps like Greenify. I do have 4 email accounts that I need to sync, however, none of them are set to push.

I know there are many other variables and I do monitor my gps locations and stuff like low screen brightness, but if you truly use your phone, there is no way to go 15 hours and still have over half your battery left, unless of course you have a giant Hyperion battery or something.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
Standard battery

GPS on

Network location on

2 gmail accounts syncing

Facebook syncing

One email account syncing

Max CPU speed at 1674 ( it's actually smoother than 1890) . Max screen off CPU at 810

Auto brightness

They just don't use enough battery to be at the top of the list

So you are using the Optional KT Kernel for minute tweaking. I will look into this as well. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] followinginsanity:
I always thought that the WatchOn app was pretty buggy when I used it. It got better after some updates, but still wasn't very responsive.

I ended up using the Galaxy S4 Universal Remote https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moletag.galaxy.s4.remote

It is a nice simple layout with large buttons. Does what it needs to be useful.

The devs are even working with me to get the codes for my new sound bar included.
