Speaking of the incompatible updates, how do you get rid of the notification saying, "System update downloaded".

I did find a post at:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63962734&postcount=6359

which helps. Unfortunately, that solution removes all notifications from Google.

Thanks

Update in the OP

01/13/2018

-Started with clean build of the official 4.4.4 GPE factory image

-Implemented many fixes including ext storage permissions, world wide APNs, etc.

-Added native advanced reboot menu

-Enabled app ops

-Updated all Google Apps to 2018 versions

-OTA updates from Google are disabled for good

I have come back to this phone after many years and determined that the 5.x versions of GPE are a mess, they arent optimized and are just rushed crap from Samsung. I have redone a clean 4.4.4 build using all my knowledge gained over the years and would like to push this because my phone is absolutely flying on this build. I have also disabled OTA notifications out of the box.

Root is optional aswell, flash SuperSU after flashing the ROM if you would like root ( I didnt include it so this rom would pass safetynet out of the box)

Enjoy

Hi there the update is awesome. It's fast and lightweight. But Im having a problem with my front camera. Any camera apps can't seems to connect to my front camera. Im using the latest baseband M919UVSFQA1.

Should i go back to nk2 then flash the gpe rom?

And im having a heating issue with vpn or game or using my mobile data and forces my phone to shut down it that normal?

Sorry for this basic question.

Thanks for any feedback.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Try now ;)

new update
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nostrings:
This seems to be the only North American variant GE ROM. Has this ever worked with Sprint? I know 5.0.1 did, but I ain't going back to that ?

Thanks for the awesome work... I forgot how smooth KitKat was... And how everything just works with your GE ROMs. This device now runs BETTER/smoother than my S6... No joke.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] moku160:
Flashed this over stock M919UVSFQA1 after fully wiping. Havent tested extensively but seems to be working except I cant connect to any networks no matter which sim I try. Have manually set APN with no change. Not sure if relevant but when I click "Mobile Plan" under wireless and network it gives me a Unknown Sim Operator and CDMA Subscription is set to NV and changing it doesnt "stick" (it just changes back upon leaving menu).

If I try to flash back to stock it gives me a UID is inconsistant message and then keeps erroring out so that I cant get past first setup menus. When I have tried flashing other roms it either freezes at the T-Mobile logo, or boot loops optimizing apps.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I know this may seem counterintuitive, but is there a way to run this ROM with microG in lieu of Gapps?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
yearly update, I still use this phone for spotify and discord so why not? :D

10/05/2018

-Updated Google Play Services

-Updated all Play Store apps

As many of you know modern versions of Google keyboard (gboard) doesn't perform very well out of the box on this phones hardware.... however if you goto the google keyboard settings in language and input and enter the "text correction" menu, uncheck both personalized suggestions and suggest contacts and the keyboard will become snappy again just like the good old days

This fix works on any ROM

Also im at 200 downloads across both International and North American releases, and all my threads are quiet so im guessing everyone is just enjoying the ROM with no issues I know I am!

it's been a total joy bringing Android 4.4.4 back to your phones with all modern and updated Google services. Enjoy it!

Ignore this post, thought I was searching on my phone but it posted what I was looking for.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] blabbersoft:
You can fix this with Mobile Odin, but it might be a little complicated without a computer. First you'd need to downloaded 4.2.2 ROM, the modem files, and Dandroid GE all on your external SD card.

Now reboot to recovery (I use TWRP) and you'll do a backup of your current setup.

1. Full wipe

2. Reboot to recovery (optional for you, but tends to help with TWRP getting stuck for me)

3. Flash your 4.2.2 ROM and Gapps

4. Reboot system

5. Wait for 4.2.2 to load then head over to the play store and download Mobile Odin (by Chainfire) or install it from sideload/backup/wherever

6. Open Mobile Odin and select modem

7. Go to Modem and choose the .tar file, then modem #2 is the .bin file (files have been posted numerous times in this and other 4.4/4.3 threads)

8. Reboot system to verify that you are on MK2 baseband under phone info

9. Reboot recovery and flash the latest version of Dandroid from your SD (thanks Dan!)

I have used this method successfully as has skygear. So, (with this 100% successful limited test group) you too should be able to achieve some awesome 4.4.1+ goodness with no data issues. If anything is unclear please let me know and I will clarify to the best of my ability. Best of luck with your update.

Note: Mobile Odin has a small fee when downloaded from the Play Store, but the convenience is far outweighed by the meager donation price. And the price is fantastic when compared to that of replacing a computer/laptop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HKSpeed:

Wanted to flash the latest version just was waiting on this, whenever you get time of course. :thumbup:

I did Google editing .jar files, seems to be over my pay grade. Windows environment required downloading couple apps to do this decompile and compile stuff so don't think I should try not knowing what I am doing! Thanks again bro.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
If you are speaking about compiling and decompiling jars/apks, you can use many tools such as: AndroidMultitool, APK-Multi-Tool, Auto Odexer Script, Auto-Sign, and Universal Deodexer among others. It is actually quite simple. For beginners, I'd recommend AndroidMultitool since it has a very simple GUI and pretty much one step. Here is how it looks. Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] disturkis4u:
I know this keeps coming up over and over and I've read through and see posts here and there.. I just want to confirm before I mess up my phone because I don't have the time right now to do a wipe and set up everything yada yada... I don't make too many calls so it doesn't affect me TOO much BUT...

If I want to flash mk2 with ODIN..

1.) I read that I don't have to go to 4.2.2 or 4.3 to do so? I already am running the latest version of this ROM 4.4..

2.) Do i have to flash the ROM again? dirty? clean?

Basically all I need to know is if I'm already running 4.4 is it just as easy as flashing the modem over it and calling it a day?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
Since you quoted me anyways... lol. Are you having any issues as the phone stands?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] disturkis4u:
Yeah frequent signal drops and if i try to make a call forget it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
Oh, to answer your question.

1) As long as you are not on 4.3 bootloader, you can flash the modem through Odin (or MobileOdin) and be done with it.

2) No need to flash anything. I wipe /cache and /dalvik just because I'm paranoid.

EDIT: Keep a nandroid backup handy. Whether it is a safe operation or not, it's a great thing to have.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] disturkis4u:
How do I know i'm not on 4.3 bootloader? By seeing if my download mode looks like the one in :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2544612

And that's the correct link for mk2 right? lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
lol Yeah. If you have KNOX, you're on a 4.3+ boot loader (like that picture). If you don't see KNOX, you're on 4.2.2. And that is the correct link. :cowboy:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] disturkis4u:
Well I know who to blame now if something goes wrong
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
All responsibility and liability lies with you. Be smart, make a nandroid backup. :good: :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 4d3d3d3:
I'm having a similar issue, I plan on flashing the 4.3 modem but yeah... I'm on the SGH-M919, I used to be able to connect to E, 4G, and 4G LTE with the 4.2.2 stock ROM. But this ROM only let's me connect to E and LTE, which severely limits my options for fast data in my area. Anyone know if flashing the 4.3 modem will bring back the 4G?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] disturkis4u:
It worked I believe lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
lol. You quoted yourself but whatever floats your boat. :P Check your Phone status and make sure you are updated to MK2. And obviously if your calls and data work fine. :cool:

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

Don't know the particulars of your case but it fixes any network issues you might be having. And it's probably NOT the ROM.

You did it again. I forgive you. :angel:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mitchellaneous:
Yes. I had the exact same problem, and had to flash the modem.bin more than once before I got it to stick and data to work again. Un-check auto-reboot in Odin, pull the battery after it flashes, flash it one more time just to be sure and pull the battery again, and you should be good to go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] skygear:
Flashed the GELauncher. Now I can't get it to listen to me. Hot word isn't working. Tried the settings. Dled all the languages. Switched languages. Cleared cache and dalvic. Even tracked down version 0.10.xxxxx of the launcher. No joy.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mitchellaneous:
Can someone post a flashable zip with a stock framework-res.apk to get rid of the transparent statusbar on the lockscreen? With the S-View case, it works properly when you close the case while the screen is still unlocked, but if you turn the screen on, while off/locked and the case closed, whatever is responsible for displaying the clock the way it does doesn't draw anything under the statusbar so you get a transparent stripe above the black background of the clock. It's super minor but the only thing that bothers me about the ROM now. Everything else is perfect.

I was a little bummed when I first flashed this ROM. Being on T-Mobile in the US I was having all sorts of signal issues.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] itzik_man:
The modem in the ROM should cover most network setting

However, check your network APN.

After installation the ROM the APN disappear ((happened to me, it was blank), so check if it exist & the settings first (before Odin your network modem.bin)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ktaznangel:
my APN is on T-mobile US LTE IPv6. what should i do now? my data/reception seems to connect for a brief moment and drops. I'm currently located where I usually get constant connection too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] itzik_man:
It wont hearth flashing the modem..

In your Network Mode, is the LTE checked ?

Something else:

Activating most of the utilities in the Xposed Installer app, can create inconstancies in your connection !

Example: I lost Wi-Fi connectivity after installing the XPivacy tool.

Uncheck (if installed) all utilities Modules activated through this app, reboot & validate your connectivity.

Worst case scenario, re-flash the ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BlackGURU:
Just Flashed this Rom and I see that the build.prop needs to be edited to T-Mobile Specific M919. I'll do that and upload that in a couple of hours when i'm done. will also give feedback on how it's running.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LoopDoGG79:
Build prop can stay as is. Been running VirginROM 4.3 like that for months with no problems. If you are having signal issues and all other possibilities have been excluded, you need to ODIN flash the 4.3 mk2 modem.bin file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BlackGURU:
I just did that thanks, and I was just saying because I know for example if the device says GT-i9505 it'll open a different my apps tab in the app store, along as some Specific Tmobile Apps won't work, but yeah I was just saying.

-Full Wipe

-rebased all of the above on latest 4.4.2 from google/samsung

-an all nighter for me, but this was fun :)

-tested for 2 hours, Dan approves

didn't really miss anything here, the only thing I didn't add is the reboot menu by default but Gravity box works for that

I had to fix some samsung stuff regarding ext SD card but that should work, stock gallery still can't delete pics though. (nothing I can do, remember gallery is meant for nexus and nexus doesn't have ext sd support), I suggest quickpic as an alternate gallery, but whatever :P

The kernel updates Ondemand governor so that's nice for stock kernel users, voicemail notifications for certain carriers should now be fixed aswell

Have fun
