[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JustMeToo:
Does this ROM has to be installed in a ROM slot using SafeStarp or does it get installed over the stock ROM? I tried in a ROM slot and couldn't get it to work. In the OP it doesn't mention either way. It says to use TWRP 2.5.xx but I'm not sure if to do it over the stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] musiconwax:
Please use the search function. Even searching my username will show I've personally answered this answer in this thread before. You can not use safestrap to flash this rom. Use twrp as per the instructions and, after wiping, flash the rom over the current rom. Flash loki after if you're on att.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SelfElevated2:
Whoa horsey. Wait right there. If your on safe strap bcuz you have a mf3 or mk2 boot loader you cannot flash this ROM. And you cannot flash twrp. You would have to stick to tw based ROMs that say they are safe strap compatible. I know it sucks but that's the hand you were dealt

---------- Post added at 05:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 AM ----------

I have a suspicious feeling he's on safestrap and would try to flash twrp BC of the way you worded it and brick
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] musiconwax:
+1 don't break your device
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JustMeToo:
Yes I am!! And yes, it sucks!!! Thanks for the headsup!!! :good:

BTW, in the OP there is no mention abut not using it with the mf3 or the mk2. There is a mentioning of 4.3 JB and that's what I have, besides being on MK2, so I thought it will be OK to flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Dillsnik:
Looking to install this for my wife to give her a stable rom to use.

Would you recommend the virgin rom or is the standard very stable?

Also, the phone is an ATT but it is on MDL firmware. Would I still need to flash loki doki?

And dumb question but just making sure, this won't upgrade my firmware beyind MDL?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nrhpd527:
This is

way

more stable and

way

better on battery life than the stock AT&T ROM.

Yes, you will need to flask Loki Doki, unless you use an auto-loki recovery, and even then, it won't hurt to flash it to be safe.

As for the baseband, I've upgraded my radio to the MLD radio, but unless you flash a radio (see many links found by searching on that), your baseband won't change.

All in all, other than he's a fan of the sorry *** Buffalo Sabres, Dandvh is a hell of a developer and has cleaned up the already smooth Google Edition and made me (an avowed flashaholic) completely satisfied with this ROM...I'm not even considering an alternative at this point unless there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SelfElevated2:
This rom is rock solid. Virgin Rom is just pure aosp. Less features and what not. Yes you still need to flash Loki. Loki only works for those of us on mdl firmware and earlier. So yea you need Loki. And no Rom flashed through a custom recovery will change your boot loader from amdl. Only a tar through Odin will change your bootloader to the even more locked version. So no worries.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] T_D_H:
so I accidently flashed the file located in this link in the first post of optional downloads.

"Enable native battery icon for ART - I've enabled the stock battery icon, changed the color from white to black and the font to make it easier to read, this was made mainly for ART runtime users"

It just gives a blue bar up top in the status bar and I would like to remove it, I've been scanning the forum to try and see if there is anyone else explaining it but it appears the search isnt working and going through 250 pages is becoming taxing.

If anyone can help thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] stl-soldier:
As long as he gives us Miller, we're cool. A last place team giving up a 7th ranked goalie sounds crazy to me. Put 5 Blues that finally figured out how to score goals in front of a goalie like Miller and we have a real chance of not choking so quickly in the playoffs this year.

Awesome ROM BTW. Unfortunately I can't use it until someone figures out how to disable the Home button wake. My battery sucks from waking up in my pocket all day. I miss this ROM though. It really is otherwise perfect, and I just wish I knew enough about Android to figure out this one little thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SelfElevated2:
Pretty sure there was something in gravity box about disabling home being able to wake the phone. Let me check for u real quick
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nrhpd527:
If you use Gravity Box, look under the Hardware Key Tweaks and you can set the Home button to one the various settings. I can't go look at my phone right now, but I think that it had one for "none" or take no action...something to that effect.

As far as trading for Miller, I'm thinking that Ty Rattie and a couple of our other fine prospects ought to be enough to pry him loose!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] stl-soldier:
The Gravity Box for non-KitKat has the option, but Gravity Box [KK] doesn't have the option. It will let you set the button when the screen is unlocked, but no setting for screen off. If you find it has been added, please share. There are a lot of other people looking for that setting. The TW 4.4.2 ROM has the option, but it is a TW feature. The modified keyboard files don't work anymore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SelfElevated2:
Yeah I was on my way back to say it wasnt there
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] stl-soldier:
It has been a few weeks since I checked it last, so thanks for looking for me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SelfElevated2:
Yeah don't use philz. use twrp or a different recovery. But I recommend twrp. People been having that issue on philz

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] NeoGriim:
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S4 I337, I went to install this but I seem to be having some issues.

I'm using safestrap, I went to install on another rom partition however it said I only had 12 MB free and couldn't make one so my (probably stupid) self went ahead and tried the wipe on the system partition, full wipe, went to install it, and it says it skips the MD5 check because no MD5 file is found, then it goes ahead and says updating partition details... and says success at the bottom. Now, when I go to reboot it goes to samsung with the custom unlocked thing on it, then it goes to safestrap and shuts down. I can still get into recovery so I'm not that worried, I figure worse comes to worse I can download and reinstall the original OS but I'd really like to fix getting this on it...

Any help?

I thought I researched enough to do this after I rooted and unlocked my phone as well as flashing a modem over, but I was apparently wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] murray42:
This ROM, doesn't support Safestrap, please use the search function.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] NeoGriim:
Okay, kinda irrelevant at this point, I'm just looking for how to fix for tonight. I'm using the download reboot from safestrap, it's taking forever, will that put me back on the vanilla OS, or am I wasting my time with that? I didn't make a backup, I guess I was tired and didn't even think of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] stl-soldier:
Not to be a ****, but you aren't likely to get good safestrap support in this thread. Most people following this thread are doing so because they don't have SS and can use this ROM. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] NeoGriim:
Good point, You're right, and that wasn't being a **** at all.

Update in the OP

02/27/2014

-Autobrightness values updated. These are MUCH better indoors, the minimum brightness is now down to 15 from CM's native 20

and the brightness with a lux value of 150 and lower will now be 40 out of a possible 255 (max brightness), Autobrightness will

now do what the feature is supposed to do, save battery

-Added Opensource SU and removed chainfire SU

-- this fixes the "fix root" nag in recovery

-- It's faster debug (ALOT faster)

-- It looks cooler

-- It's integrated right into settings (settings>superuser)

-Enabled battery % for ART users and made sure its clear to read at sub 50%

-Updated MMS from source, it's now white but can be toggled to be inverted via settings :)

-Updated Google Services Framework

-Build.prop updated

*Use the updated DarkUI flash zip if you use that option*
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheGeorgiaSwagger:
Must I fresh install this update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
You can do either. Less bugs/configuration conflicts if you clean install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Is there anything we have to set up after flash to get the auto brightness settings correct or is it ready to go?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Droidmissionary:
He updated the settings, there's nothing you need to do
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] EpicMango:
Danvdh will the OTA 4.4.2 from ATT have any effect on any part of this ROM? Kernel? ROM itself?

Just wondering so I can see if I should flash this latest update or wait a little bit longer..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
nah touchjizz doesn't effect GPE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] murray42:
Thanks for the magnificent ROM.

You're a machine! You'll probably be the next I'll give a donation to!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Sledutah:
I've been using your ROM for many months and have installed all the updates you've provided. I've strayed some and tried a few other ROMs but always came back within a few days. This ROM if fast and smooth.

Today's update is the first time I've had a problem with an update. After the update I always have to restore AdAway and WatchON with TiBu. The current SU gives me an error in TiBu saying is not compatible above Android 4.3 and may cause problems. When trying to restore the programs it just hangs. To get it working I "froze" the opensource SU and installed SuperSU from the playstore. I was then able to restore the programs and all is working good. The only minor problem is the superuser is still listed in settings but doesn't do anything, no big deal though.

Thanks for a great ROM and making this phone fly :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sirooga:
It is not a hardware issue that can be fixed with air. I think it's just some phones(mine included). I thought the air worked at first but it didn't. If I flash a touchwhiz ROM it's perfect. Maybe some of our phones just use a different chip. Great ROM otherwise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] AnalogTrail:
I haven't installed this update yet, but I recall from some other ROMs that use the opensource SU, Titanium Backup needed a setting changed in order to work, from another forum the instructions say:

"If you use TitaniumBackup you need to change in settings your backup/restore path to "legacy""

See if that works for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] webbie2:
Dan, This build the best by far! It's faster than a friends Nexus 5 running ART. Thanks for everything!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ImpheOtus:
Thanks for the update!

One problem: I'm getting battery with percentage numbers over it in statusbar and in QS.

Is this expected? If so, is there a way to go back to stock battery (without numbers)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
Gravity box
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ImpheOtus:
So, you also have the percentage numbers?

GravityBox removes numbers from icon in statusbar but not the numbers from QuickSettings :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
Yeah I see that, hmm could pull the file from earlier update, I forget which one includes battery icon tho. May be systemuu.apk ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] aiwapro:
I have AT&T but the original 4.2.2 ROM with an unlocked bootloader. I assume this ROM should work ok, sine the bootloader is unlocked?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
correct, SystemUI.apk

this was an intended change, not being able to see battery % is extremely annoying for ART users
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ImpheOtus:
Thanks, I saw that in the changelog but I thought it only showed if user activated ART.

Do you know if anything else changed in SystemUI.apk?

If I replace it with the one on the previous version would I be missing some new feature/improvement?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] aiwapro:
So, what do you think?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] stl-soldier:
Not the ROM, but we should get a new official modem out of it. Not that the modems we have need to be replaced, but it's something new to play with anyway.

I've noticed titanium backup doesn't play nice with the new superuser app

Gets stuck when converting a user app to system app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
same happens on CM, just wait for a binary update, it will arrive via the market

Titanium backup should really just be used to backing up and restoring apps, no real need to convert apps to system apps, chances are they need to fix their code aswell, not sure why they aren't fully compatible with the open source SU.

Chainfires SU is just extremely slow during debugging, ktoonsez and I do not plan to roll back, we are trying to squeeze every bit of performance we can out of GPE

the biggest annoyances was the newer rooters/users/people with less then 10 posts pming me because they lost root in recovery by "fixing" root. that MAJOR issue is now fixed, and we got a minor one to compensate

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] stl-soldier:
Just be thankful you have that option. A lot are stuck using SafeStrap. Just use a recovery with auto-loki and you don't have to think about it anymore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Droidmissionary:
This rom isn't auto loki'ed, doesn't mean your bootloader locked down just means you tried to flash software without the correct image. You have to flash loki each time you flash the rom if you're on att and have the ability to use loki

Bluetooth share FC

Thanks [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4325945]ktoonsez[/MENTION] for a great ROM. I just had some bluetooth share FC the other day after coming from a clean flash (v02-27).

In the KANGAKAT ROM's Additional Notes I see:

- zipalign script is performed once at boot every 4 days
- sqlite3 vacuum is performed once at boot every 7 days

In Dan's ROM OP I see that the ROM is zip aligned.

Is there a benefit in performing those 2 scripts every week or so? Is there something similar in Dan's ROM?

What about sqllite? There is no mention of this in the thread.

Excellent rom and excellent job from the maker.

The only problem i have is that I dont have mobile data. I have the i337 at&t version. My baseband version is I337UCUAMDL and kernel 3.4.0-gba1b939.

Mobile data is on and i even set manually the APN (which for the past rom was not required) I also have the preferred network type to lte/gsm wcdma.

Wifi receiving

/ sending calls work perfectly

MTP, USB, or External SD card

Is there a difference between, MTP, USB, or External SD card, between 4.2 TW and this 4.4.2 AOSP? I ask, because usually I connect the phone to the car via USB, and it plays the music that I have on the SD card. However, after loading this ROM, that functionality seems impaired, or sometimes not working at all. The car sees the internal storage, but not the external SD card.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cantenna:
Easy, buy faux clock from google play, then launch app and go to kernel download, under stable release there are only two options (overclock kernel =U and M=Normal), then flash via recovery. Then you can use vibration adjust from within the app, I reduced mine to 25%, I'm on the rogers network and I'm still on the previous rom build Feb 17

Also, I installed this awesome tweak and have installed it on my minix neo x7 as well, it's a great one!

I do appreciate having a clean rom from which to work from it makes it easier to choose what tweaks I want to run.
