Make sure Now is enabled by clicking Menu > Settings > "Google Now" should be On

Click Menu > Settings > Voice > make sure "Hotword Detection" is enabled. If it is and it's not working, disable, hit home, then reanable

If this doesn't work go to "Offline Speech recognition" and make sure you're using English US and have the newest version installed. It may show you have nothing installed, swipe to all and click English US and hit back then go back to the same place and it'll show up.

If it's still not showing the "Say "Okay Google"" message then try saying it anyways. Sometimes the phrase doesn't show but the command works regardless.

If you couldn't tell, I've flashed pretty much every kitkat ROM I could find and have tested these things out quite a bit...

Is the external SD support incorporated in the 11/28 build? It still doesn't seem to work for me with Solid Explorer.

I didn't see anything mentioned in the changelog.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] s1l3nt:
works for me. Make sure to check in this directory /storage/extSdCard
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jamng:
I did, just spins in a circle and then errors out. It sees that directory but doesn't seem to actually read or do anything for me. Let me try ES File Explorer. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Shawn7656:
It could also be the format your SD card is. I think it was mostly effecting 64gb cards but you may need to reformat to FAT32 (don't hold me to this format, check other Kitkat threads. I did not ever have this issue so I could be wrong)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jamng:
I have a 64GB card formatted for FAT32. It appears to be a Solid Explorer problem. ES File Explorer sees it fine. It appears that I have some other apps besides Solid Explorer that don't behave well with 4.4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] s1l3nt:
Yeah it's working for me on my 64gb sd card that is formatted to FAT32 so that could probably be it

Edit: yeah i'm using root explorer with no problem i just had to change it to the right directory
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] viperguy212:
FC on app uninstall on 4.4 :(, its not only this ROM but 4.4 at this point.

I also noticed that this rom was using 4.3 email apk

But awesome job!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
fix coming tonight for that ;)

oh and VPN should be fixed too

Thank ktoonsez, at this point I'm not sure if I can integrate the fix into the ROM or if we need to flash a script in recovery after install in order for google edition to run flawlessly on our variant

either way things are looking good
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Shawn7656:
I noticed that lock screen options are mostly unusable due to being disabled by "administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage". I tried switching to pattern and pin and Settings crashes when I hit "confirm" for the second time. I thought maybe this was caused by Gravitybox but I don't see options to switch the lockscreen type anywhere, just ways to mod the default one.

On an unrelated note, does anyone know of a way to theme the dialer so it isn't holo anymore? It looks so silly to have the black and blue keypad still...

UPDATE IN THE OP

11/29/2013

-Fixed all remaining bugs (uninstall apps, etc)

-stock framework.jar (no hack needed anymore)

-init.d script named key is the script that makes this all work (etc/init.d)

-kt kernel 11/29/2013 is another reason everything is working (it includes the faux hack)

-ktoonsez and myself stayed up all night working on this

-happy thanksgiving

@ Developers, attatched to this post is the init.d script I used paired with the new KT kernel to fix this ROM 100%

place in etc/init.d

big thanks to ktoonsez and everyone else involved, this was A LOT OF WORK so please hit the thanks button or donate to show you're appreciation

I'm not encouraging it, but I just did. I had to tibu email, exchange, and accounts as that is not included (I use corporate email), reinstall xposed framework, and reflash ktoonsez kernel.

I had no problems prior with a clean flash; if any crop up after this "dirty" one. I'll let you know. :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Cusa:
I'm about to flash this ROM but I have one question. Can you remove gravitybox and xposed if you don't use them?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] s1l3nt:
yeah you can
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] odinfire:
Go to your xposed installer app, then modules, long press Gravitybox and the uninstall option is there. Afterward, go back to framework (still under xposed installer) and it should uninstall itself from there.

Make sure you uninstall all the modules first before the framework.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bradl79:
Install the apk and install the driver and u r done. If its not working u will have to edit ur build.prop. it shows on their site what to edit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] s1l3nt:
Yeah I just installed the apk from the thread. For what quality you want, it depends on what you want. I chose high quality which was the middle option.

Jumped on board the train for the 12/19 release, Great job, better then the TW roms by a long stretch. After a day or so to settle down, I only had to charge my phone once per day. Am tempted to flash this one too but dont seem to see any major changes this time around, should I take the plunge?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
Personal preference. Do you like the features of tw or the simplicity of stock android.

I never saw this on 12/19 and it most certainly isn't an issue on the 12/28 build

for everyone else, the qualcomm optimized dalvik and bionic binary that I have in this ROM got a spotlight on the portal yesterday http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...optimized-kitkat-dalvik-and-bionic-libraries/

pretty neat ;)

[MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION]. Not exactly a ROM issue, but is there anyway to set a lower auto brightness level? I tried in gravity box but that only works with auto off.

Headset button pickup/hangup

Hi Danvdh,

Awesome work on this ROM. Loving it so far. Smooth-Fast-Clean....

Just a quick question :

I'm using the stock Samsung headset with 3 buttons. I used to be able to pickup/hangup calls with the Play/Pause/Pickup/Hangup button on the headset but for some reason the phone app seems to ignore it completely.

Its rather odd because play/pause as well as volume control work like a charm... But as soon as I get a call or have a call going, the buttons seem to be ignored completely.

I've tried 3rd part apps such as Headset Droid to no avail either.

Any ideas ? Could it be that the phone app in 4.4.2 does not register the intents for those keys or uses different key ids ?

Cheers

G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ac3theone:
quick question, for the recommended settings in the second post is that with ktoonz kernel or is it with stock kernel and just the ktweaker app?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jodicus6645:
Any reason worth noting to go to 12/28 coming from 12/19? If so dirty flash?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoonDogg98:
Just a note about dirty flashing... I have done it from 12-15 to -12-19 then to 12-28 and everything is working fine. Just my 2 cents.. its of course not recommended, but no adverse effects here. I also did nandroids between all.

TWRP letdown

Trying to flash this on my ATT S4 using GooManager and TWRP, but TWRP has wrong time, and won't let me do a backup, says no stogage available. Trying now with CWM 6.0.4.4 . Just ms 2 cents, but I think there is a bug in TWRP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] graydiggy:
Try changing the target for where you want it to backup to. Wrong time will not stop a backup and there is no reports of a bug that says there is no storage space. It is very likely that you indeed do not have enough space.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] LeKtRiCzzz:
Every update I lose root why is that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fast96:
Well, CWM recovery worked fine. but I'm not impressed. The lack of bells and whistles is fine, but closing open apps by swiping is not what I wanted, I think I will look for another KK rom or reload my previous setup. I appreciate the work though. Keep it up. Cheers:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
what on earth are you talking about? haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ImpheOtus:
My thoughts exactly!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] graydiggy:
I don't think he even knows what he is talking about. None of that made any sense...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fast96:
Well, I got things figured out for the most part, And I even began to like it. But before I try reloading it, I need to figure out how to reload things like my contacts list and other data/history. I'm not being a hater, so don't be so quick to get defensive. I have FUN just playing with phones and tablets. But I'm much better at physically repairing them, than digitally modifying them. LOL It's all good. ;)

I consider my phone more of a necessity than my Tab 2, so I will have to get my "ducks in a row" before I try this again. (and I will)

Is Titanium Backup the best way to save and restore Contacts, data, and photos? And will that work when going from 4.2 to 4.4? Any tips would be appreciated. And I'm not just a "user", I've donated to a number of developers here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ImpheOtus:
Don't worry, we're not trying to flame you or be defensive in any way. It's just that we really didn't understand what you said in your previous post.

To reload your contacts, you should sync them with your Gmail account. That way they would be saved in the cloud and they would download everytime you try a new ROM.

For the rest of the data/history you could try using Titanium Backup or Helium, that's the easiest way IMHO.

To get your "ducks in a row" you may try reading a couple guides that could give you a pretty clear path to follow.

Take a look at [HOW-TO] The ULTIMATE All-In-One Root/Flash Guide w/ MF3/MK2 Support Section or [GUIDE][INFO] The beginner's info thread (aka. the noob helper)

If you ever have problems or difficulties at doing something, don't worry, you don't have to figure them on your own.

xda-developers is a pretty friendly and helpful community; and people would help you if you ask the right questions.

Always search around the forum before asking, but if your problem hasn't been solved before, you can go to the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and ask your question there.

Hope this helps and good luck :good:

Hey Dan. Anyway to add ios softbank emoji support to you messaging app like the cyanogenmod one. 8sms I believe it's called. Your is much better theme wise. Just a suggestion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] vassosman:
Another suggestion would be to implement the 'screen on notification' when you get a text. Its one of my favorite features of TW and the app in the playstore just doesn't do a justice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] angle409:
I agree. Auto brightness levels are too high in this rom. And it's not adjustable in gravity box.

Just a question for anyone running SwiftKey. Do you experience any lag when typing? It starts typing normally, then after a few words it lags. You can close the keyboard and reopen it but it starts all over again. Also, it doesn't matter what application you are typing in. I'm running the latest ROM version on both my wife's and my phone, both are having the issue. I've never had any issue with swiftkey in the past. Its no big deal, I can just use Google keyboard, I'm just wondering.

Hey Danvdh - I am currently running 4.2.2 and have already been rooted and I believe Loki flashed. I haven't touched my rom in a while and wanted to try a new one out (yours). But everywhere I go it says not to flash 4,4,x if you have an MF3 baseband, but I'm not sure if that applies to me (I have the MDOB rom by iB4STid and it says mf3 in the name).

I have TWRP, and can flash a rom, but is this one safe to flash or should I be doing something else before I flash over.

If I remember correctly, it shouldn't be an issue. Just wanted to ask you first.

Attached is my screenshot of my build:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
danvdh, I am still pondering whether I should make the jump to the latest 12/28 build (currently on 12/19). I was looking at the two build.prop files, and I noticed that the only substantial difference seems to be the removal of the dithering line in the latest build. Is that all you mean by "Reworked some build.prop tweaks"? Thanks, and have a happy New Year!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] seanpr123:
You're good to go bud.

To be running MDOB you had to install a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) which is all you need.

From MDOB you should be able to hold power button and select Reboot into Recovery.

From there you'll want to do all the basics like create a current ROM backup, then wipe System, Data, Cache & Davlik then flash this ROM zip, flash Loki Doki (or install another kernel from these forums) and you're good to go!

Remember you'll lose all your currents apps unless you backup with an application like Titanium Backup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goliath27:
Thanks! Everything has been backed up (I hate Titanium, I use Mybackup instead, and have a nandroid done as well).

Be back later after a reboot and settle time.

PS - I'm using the ATT version of the S4 on Tmobile, this shouldn't change my radios when flashing correct? If it does I'll just reinstall.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

Ok so I think that was a bad idea. When I rebooted it gave me a kernal error

System software not authorized by ATT has been found on your phone

Now what? Currently restoring my phone to the previous rom but would still like to fix this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] seanpr123:
Did you follow the instructions and flash loki doki or another kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] zecstone:
Auto brightness at its lowest is still blinding. To high. Is there something in the build.prop ? Don't want an app. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goliath27:
Updating my TWRP, wasn't that supposed to flash loki for me automatically?

I have an older KT kernal I was running on before, gonna check to see if there is anything new I haven't seen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Mike:
Only the OUDHS CWM recovery auto loki'd the kernel. TWRP does not. You have to flash the loki-doki.zip

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!

upload in progress ;)

01/01/2014

-Happy new years!

-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
