Alright, so I purchased and tested AnyMote (Color Tiger's Smart IR Remote), and it works fine, indeed. However, my suspicion is that the Smart IR Remote works only because they adapted it so it works around some bugs present only in custom ROMs ("If you use 4.4.3 and the app doesn't work for you, please send us an email at colortigerapps@gmail.com and we'll fix it for you. It's a bug present only in custom ROMs" (as quoted from the "What's New" section)). In short, it looks as if the fault still lies with this ROM, as acknowledged by ktoonsez himself. Bottom line is that the kernel that comes with this ROM needs to be patched in a similar way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cantenna:
Thanks Danvdh for this ROM. Its perfect!

If you have an external sd card, try taking it out and see if it still heats up

if it does not, backup your card to pc, reformat and copy back

I installed the Google Play Services 5.0 .apk yesterday and all seems fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danielhammons1:
Yea after it finished downloading it said this will update your good play edition to 4.4.4 and I didn't figure I needed to do that through that, I thought at first it pay have been an update to Google Apps or something. I haven't downloaded the 4.4.4 version to flash off here yet. So unchecking worked I forgot you could even do that lol.

Will this rom improve battery life? I'm only getting only 3-4 hour screen time on my device on stock touchwiz. What is the screen time on this rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
I get 4-6 hours screen on depending on what I'm doing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] stl-soldier:
What Dan said.

If you play a resource intensive game while trying to sync several accounts with data, wifi, Bluetooth, and GPS turned on in a cave with no data signal then you will probably get less, but other than that, this ROM is great for me on battery. 20 hours unplugged with 6 screen on without power save measures is normal for a full charge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sonspot:
I used to get 16 hours with 2 to 3 hours screen time. Never 6 hours screen time at all. No Facebook just Tapatalk and gmail running, clash of clans too but in at a time

Anyone get cifs to work? I can mount but only view remote contents with terminal app. I'm trying on my tablet z too, same outcome.

I did some reading and it appears:

-support is somewhat broken due as a consequence of multi user support introduced in kitkat

-there is a ROM patch available to bring back system wide support again for cifs

on kitkat os.

Before kitkat, you could mount cifs with terminal and it would be a system wide change, now because of multi user, cifs mounts that are mounted in terminal are only available in terminal.

It would be neat to have titanium backup pointed to a local android folder that is paired to a backup folder on your home sever instead of device and have all android device point to it for backups and restores :)

Also would just be neat to have home server folders accessible locally within the android os as local mounts, so many possibilities :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bleedos:
True.

I can uninstall goomanager correct?

I don't use it to flash any recoveries or anything...I literally haven't touched it in a year since I flashed TWRP..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danielhammons1:
I couldn't find my original post about my issue with the long press to change songs (where my long press would actually turn my volume up ALL the way) not caused by the screen being on or anything stupid like that but I figured I'd update what I said in case anyone else ever had this issue.

I tried several different things to fix this, even different apps but sometimes when I would long press it would still turn my volume up all the way (which is very loud) and nothing seemed to fix it (on my s3 I turned the option off in wanam and on in xblast and it worked) on my s4 though this wouldn't fix the issue. But I started to download another app but I remembered I still had xposed additions installed which has the long press remap option (and a lot of other remap stuff, it's really good) this one actually worked without any problems never once has it turned the volume up all the way on me! So yea if anyone else has that issue just try that, worked for me lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cantenna:
The battery life is awesome on this ROM. Both my wife and I have the same phone, same network. She doesn't game and she is using a stock battery. I have been having some fun with her phone checking her battery stats and mind you I have greenify setup correctly donation package, greenify system apps, installed boot manager and

ad-away.

On her stock battery, this ROM, no gaming and with wifi radio disabled most of the time, about 4 days use on stock battery without a recharge, no problem. I spot check it from time to time, its consistent.

On my phone, I game BIG time! Lots of screen on time, heavy use WiFi, heavy use Bluetooth, superior audio quality in Viper4android I get about 3 days but I have installed a 7500mah zero lemon battery with rugged case.

Its an awesome battery and surprisingly I actually prefer the weight it adds to the the phone; its now tough like me.

It all depends on what you do. If you notice a difference in batter is because it has to do with changes implemented by android in 4.4.4

This ROM is a lean as androidingly possible! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sonspot:
That's awesome, don't get me wrong I'm not blaming the ROM I never get anything close to that. I charged my phone last night (6hr) full charge, its been running for 5.25hrs, 32min screen @ 30%, google service 14% everything else is below 10% and I'm at 77% battery life as of this post

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dacheeze:
Just curios as to what system apps you are greenifying?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cantenna:
Gear manager

Google play store & services

Sound search for Google play

And I disable in settings apps any other system app I don't need like

musicfx (I prefer Viper)

Email and exchange services

(I prefer aqua mail)

Or you could greenify but I'll never use so I disable

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] oldcotton:
I have a rooted AT&T S4 with stock ROM 4.2.2 (MF3). I am planning to install OP's rom and noticed that in the instruction, OP says "AT&T users flash loki unless you're recovery does it for you". Where can I get the loki? I searched the thread and couldn't find the download link. Then I googled it and figured out it's a patch for ATT and Verison S4 users to bypass the locked bootloader. Unfortunately I still didn't find the download link.

Below's the steps I'm going to do:

1. Flash TWRP by following this link:

http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-root/how-to-install-twrp-on-rooted-galaxy-s4-using-goo-manager/

2. Using TWRP to flash OP's rom

3. I should flash loki in this step as per OP's instruction.

Since I don't know where to find the loki in step 3 above, anyone can provide a link or hint? Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dacheeze:
I believe MF3 is locked bootloader. If that is the case this ROM will not work for you, you would need to stick with safestrap supported ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] oldcotton:
Thanks for the response. How to tell the bootloader is locked or not?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jonmassot:
We wouldn't be flash-0-holics if you weren't releasing an update 3 to 5 times a week :D Well, I'm glad you do anyway. Going to flash, again, now.

[EDIT] I should wait that the build is uploaded before, right? :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
I'm quite OCD, I want perfection and it's pretty bad

;) I'll be uploading very shortly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jonmassot:
I see it. my refreshing rate is quite something... On another note, the new build is 40 leaner, right?

What video players are you using? Recommendation would be appreciated. I am currently using MX Player but for some reason it is not fully functional on some photos types with kit kat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] got_milk:
Just wanted to share a bug I ran into - I'm not sure whether it's specific to this ROM or not, but hopefully this'll help anyone else who runs into it.

I found that once I cleaned up the default home screens (removed the second one and filled up the first one), installing any app from the Play Store would cause Google Search to force close once you press the home button to go back to the home screen. A workaround for this is to go into the Play Store settings, and uncheck the box to "Auto-add widgets" and the force closes will stop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
It's a leaner build :)

UPDATE IN THE OP

12/05/2013

-Deodexed the framework

-Removed distorted/buggy/annoying volume panel sound (framework.jar)

-HSPA will now display H icon like it should (systemui.apk)

-Added advanced reboot menu

-Cleaned up platform permissions

-Raised WIFI scan interval when not connected to a network (if you forget to turn off wifi)

-I have no more annoyances with kitkat, no one let me release another update :P

*tip* Disable double-tap in gravitybox will speed up home button response

then simply rebind recent's to hold home

nothing else to do, enjoy it ;)

Try using TWRP over CWM. I believe 2.5.0.2 is the recommended version, but I'm using the latest 2.6.3.1 as I flashed from official 4.3 which requires the newer recovery version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
1)TWRP 2.5.0.2

2) Check the md5 of you're download

3) Enjoy my ROM

very tired right now, heading to bed. just wanted to stay a bit longer to make sure the ROM flashes fine but I've got that verification twice and I'm all good on my phone :)

goodnight guys, morning

I'm using latest Phil'z touch recovery, never had a problem with it. The only difference is that I wiped the internal memory before the install. With yesterday build, I didn't wiped it and I didn't had that error message. I might try twrp and see if the same error appears again. Nothing seems wrong as of now, complete install went without trouble.

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 AM ----------

Thanks for your work! Works great as of now!

[EDIT] BTW, the error message was after getting the install complete message. Might be an error from Phil'zTouch, not the ROM itself ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
I'm 100% sure

I've flashed it, my A friend has flashed it and the md5 checksum is matching on my computer, the server and the OP :)

:) twrp is the go-to recovery on all my devices, 2.5.0.2 just works on EVERYTHING

just don't use it to format internal storage

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] oldcotton:
DACHEEZE said if my bootloader is locked, then this ROM is not for me. I need to stick with SafeStrap ROMs. I got confused by his reply. If I understand correctly, even the bootloader is locked, one may still flash custom ROM with loki. However, I am not sure and want someone to confirm if I am right or not. That's the reason I ask you those questions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
Your build is above mdl. You have to follow SafeStrap rules. You can't use this rom. Just saying you need to read up some--in General--:good:

Yes, open Google Now Search and say Google Now Everywhere. Go back to your Google Now voice settings and go to Ok Google settings. It has options for detection on any screen and the lock screen. Then you have a voice recognition test.

This is really a bad news for me. :crying: Are you sure? I've read the first 3 posts from Danvdh in the beginning of the thread. He didn't mention that only the S4 with limited firmware versions can use this ROM......:confused:.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
Thank you. You can imagine that I tried that thing a few times before I asked the question. It's just not working for me. Could it be because I'm using the Nova launcher?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
No I had it on Nova also. Google "Ok Google Everywhere" there should be some better steps than I gave you. I don't know if any certain apps/modules would interfere with it--
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dacheeze:
Sorry, you are definitely out of luck with this ROM. You would have to use Touchwiz based ROMs that support safestrap.

Custom Boot Animation

I was on the 4.4.2 version of this ROM for a while, and I had been using a custom boot animation (this one, specifically). Today I flashed the latest 4.4.4 build, and when I tried to add in the custom boot animation, it didn't work! I followed the same steps as listed in that thread, and as I did for the 4.4.2 ROM. That is, I put the bootanimation.zip file in /system/media and changed the permissions. But I still get the Google boot animation. How can I get the custom boot animation back?

EDIT: I did some Google searching and some testing, and I think it has to do with some leftover .qmg files in the /system/media folder that prevents bootanimation.zip from working. I have no idea how to disable these .qmg files, and I think is is a larger issue, so I just started a new thread in the general Q&A / Troubleshooting Forum, here. Sorry for the clutter, but again, I don't think this is just a Dan ROM issue, so I felt it warranted a thread in that subforum, and not just in this thread.

EDIT 2: Does anyone know if custom boot animation support was removed in the latest (6-27-2014, 4.4.4) build?

Endless dots and vibrations...

Hi folks. Just flashed this. All i get on reboot is endless 4 dots going in and out and vibrations. Never boots. Anyone else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Completely_Clueless:
Okay something is definitely wrong. I did another full wipe and re-flashed this ROM (i.e. clean install). However, two features have disappeared, and I'm not sure why.

1. I can't charge the phone when it's off anymore. This wasn't the case before, when I was on the 4.4.2 version of this ROM. Now when I plug in the USB cable, the phone boots up.

2. I seem to have lost custom boot animation support (as I've mentioned before). Even on this clean flash, I noticed that there wasn't even a bootanimation.zip file in /system/media, but I remember on previous builds (like the 4.4.2 ROM) there was one that I could replace.

I'm extremely confused, because I've been using this ROM for quite some time now with no problems. I could charge the phone when it was off, and I could replace the boot animation. Now when I go to flash 4.4.4, these two features are suddenly gone! And this is on my second clean flash of this ROM!

Does anyone know what could be the problem here? For what it's worth, the ROM I had previously was a TouchWiz-based ROM called Skyfall.

You know. I thought I read that Safestrap is the only thing you can use to flash a 4.4.2 device. No? Not sure how you are doing this otherwise. Maybe you're talking about coming from a different build? I dont know. I have stock 4.4.2 back on the device now. I'd really like to get this ROM working if possible. Not sure though. I've done a few other phones before and never had anywhere near as many problems doing so as I have with this 4.4.2 GS4.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Droidmissionary:
You CAN install GPE on a regular AT&T S4, but you CANNOT install GPE on an AT&T S4 that was sold with firmware MF3 or later or that has taken any OTA beyond MDL. GPE is not able to be installed on a device using Safe Strap just like AOSP roms cannot.
