UPDATE IN THE OP

03/22/2014

-Framework-res auto brightness values adjusted, I made the screen a bit brighter without losing much battery power, in fact you won't even notice. I just wanted to bump it up 5 values so we can show off how gorgeous this 1080p AMOLED really is

-Redid contacts, I spent a great deal of time on this and I really think its a much better design then the last invert, Kryten and I talked about it but never did anything about it, I poured in a few hours the other night and came up with something I think looks gorgeous

-SystemUI will now display H+ in the status bar and quicksettings as opposed to just H

-Removed 2 useless build.prop tweaks that remained dormant and do nothing at all on 4.4.2, (they worked on 4.3)

-Updated Gravitybox to 3.0

-now for the bad news, I'm having family issues and need to move back home to support my parents, My mom and dad have hit hard times and I can't see them suffer, My activity on these forums will dwindle a bit since I will need to pound the pavement and make as much money as possible to support my folks so I kindly ask that the community helps each other out with any questions and concerns that may arise in the thread

Note: wait for me to update the battery icon and dark UI optional flashes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PiggySmalls:
Thanks for the update, I hope things turn around quickly for your parents.

enjoy it bud
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] imanoobfml:
Your hard work is appreciated! Best of luck to you and your family!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] trueking7:
Dirty flashable? What's the build.prop tweaks that were removed? Id like to just removed them manually.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
some touchscreen performance tweaks

download winmerge, you can use this extremely useful tool to compare files and it will highlight the differences for you ;)

everything I release is dirty flashable, but if you experience any issue whatsoever please clean flash before posting in this thread, this is pretty standard

have fun

I appreciate the help, thanks.

Hey Dan is that the max value for brightness you can go?

I remember when I had my galaxy nexus I tweak the color multipliers real high and the brightness was insane.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
yeah a minimum value of 20 is perfect, 25 and you see a good chunk taken off your battery

CM is 20, but there indoor max brightness is 90, I set it to 60 and its perfect for me and my testers, and saves a ton of juice :highfive:, outdoors was untouched from CM values because we need to be able to see our screen in the sun :)

too low is not so good, it takes away from the quality of this amazing screen, I believe I have the perfect balance for the S4 now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
Cool thanks for the update . looks great
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
thanks man

if you go back to original GPE you will be horrified at how much juice is being wasted on back light for no reason at all
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roadster92:
1. Were you on 4.2.2 Stock Rom (MDL)? and Did you take the 4.3 OTA update?

-If you take the OTA then flashed both modem (LTE and GSM is OK)

-If you did not take the OTA, you only need to flash the GSM modem which is modem.bin from the MK2 update.

2. Did you go to setting under mobile network settings/Network Mode and choose LTE mode?

Hope that help

By the way , once you flashed this ROM it is normal that you see the GT-9505, because only Google Edition has KitKat released.

Final release for this OTA now available in the OP

12/01/2013b

-MMS themed by me :)

-Symlink touchups in updater script

-removed useless libs

-This is it for this OTA, work will resume next official OTA

-I've spent hours on this project, if you appreciate my work, donate.

I really hope you enjoy my MMS theme, I stayed up to 5AM working on my own because I just wasn't fully satisfied with other inverts

feedback is appreciated, I will work on adding a FAQ to my OP tonight.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TripFlex:
I think he is referring to how the original release (late/end of November) in the SMS settings had an option to enable emojis, you could then have the emoji selector from next to where you put text (opposite side of send button) ... just checked latest release and it doesn't appear to be on there anymore

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sartau87:
Confirmed!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
This was confirmed by me and a few others on day 1 of this ROM's release from google, it's the bootloader and there is no fix until we get a 4.4 bootloader

I'm just thankful we have this ROM and can run it :)

here is the MMS theme, this will save you guys a ton of battery life on our AMOLED screens, and I think it looks way better then the stock MMS with NO quick reply

what do you guys think? this is based on CM11 4.4 mms :) I've tested everything
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fateownzyou3:
My screen goes black once making a call and won't come back on either. But I don't see why everyone thinks that this is a dirty sensor. It may be for some. But my sensor doesn't work right if I'm on kitkat, but if I flash back to 4.3 the sensor and calls work flawlessly. So I just change the setting to end call with power button. Don't need the screen on anyway while calling. I'll just press the button when I'm done with call

---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 AM ----------

Danvdh, I have problems with signal aswell. I won't have signal after I install, but if I go under data settings and tell it to automatically select service provider, it will give me signal until I make a call. I don't know if that helps with anything at all. But is there a current fix for this? Besides flashing modem and bin I Odin? Flashable maybe? I don't have access to Odin, my computer crashed on me over the weekend
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] relldroid:
The best KK rom out ! ???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TripFlex:
Looking good, so far everything is running smoothly...uninstall works fine, only issue I see is still with the sd card problems. Accessing the SD card via /storage/extSdCard works fine, but for some reason a few applications have /mnt/media_rw/extSdCard as the mount point for the SD card and most apps keep giving "permissions" issue.

Confirmed SD card issue on clean flash, latest release from last night.

Maybe we can just set that location as a symlink? I haven't looked too much into it yet as it only is an issue when trying to use Go Backup Pro, but i'm sure there are other apps out there that for some reason have the sd card location hard coded or auto determining sd card location.

Any thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] josephh71:
Data drop

I have installed the ROM but I continue to get random data drops. Is there any way around flashing a new radio to insure a more stable connection as I don't want to go messing around with internal software if I don't have to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rodrigojavier:
is the status bar on the lockscreen supposed to be black? re-flashed a few times after full wipes and still shows up black and not seeing anything in Xposed for it, unless I'm missing something
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hotbread:
Yup. I got the same issue. I think the problem lies with the kernel.

I'm still using the last 11/30 build with faux123's kernel. This allows my apps to access the SD card correctly. Like Link2SD works flawlessly.(GREAT app for moving apps to SD card, btw)

Any later release I flash gives me SD card issue. I understand that Danvdh switched back to stock kernel after 11/30. Also note that I've had SD card access issue before the last 11/30 release too, which was before Danvdh used the faux123 kernel. (the last 11/30 release is the only one with the faux123 kernel)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
No external SD issues on stock kernel for me. Faux123 Is just insecure, should not affect anything. Permissions are in the platform, not the kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hotbread:
That's weird... Maybe its because I'm using exFat?

You already messed with "internal software" when you used Odin to flash a custom recovery? Why not use it again to flash the modem.bin file needed for a stable connection? :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] India85g:
Right, my LTE strength is significantly lower with the MK2 model. I think I'm going back to MDL which I don't think works on this ROM & idk but I can't deal :confused::(:banghead:

What's the real deal with the sensor that shuts the screen off when you talk on the phone.

I tried blowing into the earpiece with air in a can and nothing changes.

I have a feeling its more than just a "sensor problem".

Lately I've been having terrible battery life. Look at the included screenshot. Screen use was about 30 mins total. When I went to bed battery was at about 40%. When I woke up, the phone was dead. The biggest killer seems to be Android OS. In BBS it's related to msm_hsic_host.

I know that msm_hsic_host will cause some wakelocks, but now it's getting ridiculous. Anyone know of a fix for this? Should I perhaps try a different kernel? Am now using the stock kernel included with Danvdh's ROM. Am also on the latest modem (NB4).

Hi all, I'm experieng a very bad and fastidious problem. I was on danvdh GE rom with my galaxy gt-i9505 and all was working properly. A day I have the (bad) idea to update the kernel. I was using kt kernel. I updated it and I don't liked because it was a little bit laggy, so i reverted back to a previous version. No way, the lag was still there. I full wiped intalling faux123 kernel but lag was still there. I did many and many full wipes and I tryed many and many roms and kernels. I don't think that my problem is a rom or a kernel. I tryed as well tw roms (unusable with this problems because they are slow and with this problem much more) and GE roms. I also notice a lag in the bootanimation, samsung or ge edition, after a full wipe. What's wrong with my phone? I'm with the old bootloader but I don't think this is the problem because before all was working properly! Do you think that my phone is damaged or what? I tryed as well a Deep Clean 1 but nothing, still laggy! Saying my phone is laggy I mean that:

1) the bootanimation is laggy

2) using the phone I can see animations lags and no smoothness but not ever.. every 1 minute? Don't know what's happening!

Please help me, I'm going crazy! I hate lags... thanks in advantage..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
Leave the stock kernel that came with this rom ,then Switch to "art" runtime in developer settings and lag be gone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Slicktune:
Can i still use expose if i run art tho ?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PiggySmalls:

Of you're on old boot loader then try to Odin back to stock, reroot and flash the ROM of your choice. That should take care of any issues you are facing.

TL;DwanttoR: Clean installed rom > signal drops when trying to make phone calls. What do?

Been on this rom for a a week or two now, and I'm absolutely loving it. I always expected the GS4 to be fast and smooth, but it never really amazed me until I flashed this rom.

I'm only having 1 problem though. Sometimes (1-2x/day), when I try to place a phone call, I lose signal and the call doesn't get put through. I hang up, and the signal comes back. But then I try to call again, and I lose signal again. What can I do to fix this? I was on the MDL when I was having this problem, and I decided to odin flash the NB4 modem to try and fix it. I haven't had the chance to try and call yet, but I'm wondering if I made the right call on changing the bootloader or if this problem is being caused by something else. Oh, and I clean installed the rom.

Thanks for your guys' help in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PiggySmalls:
You probably fixed it, although I would have opted to keep the MDL bootloader, and just Odin the NB4 hybrid modem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nkon:
Awesome, thanks! What's the difference between the Hybrid and regular nb4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PiggySmalls:
The hybrid modem is for users of the old bootloader. It retains the MDL LTE modem. And uses the MK2 or NB4 GSM modem. The newer LTE modems break sound and other things using the old bootloader.

If you're on a newer bootloader, there is no reason not to use the full modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aybesea69:
I posted a link earlier in this thread on how to actually recalibrate the proximity sensor. Search back for my previous post. It works perfectly and does more than just remove dust. It actually sets your Android device threshold values. I just don't have the link handy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gadianton:
I just updated to 3/22 and it is great. Quick question about the kernel. Is the stock kernel tweaked more than kt's gpe one? I ask because it feels snappier, but that might be placebo. I do miss all the settings from kttweaker.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PENKO956:
oversite? the OP has better thinks to worry about than a simple apk you can download yourself. he has said it before, if any missing apk just go and download them. Rom runs great and at the moment that's what counts. good day!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
The stock kernel is faster no doubt about it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] trueking7:
I disagree. You can customize ktoonsez kernel to be as performance or battery saving as you like. You can even set the each core up with its own governor via downloadable scripts you can activate in Ktweaker. Ktoonservativeq Governor is amazing. And I'm not talking about benchmarks, that's pretty lame imo. I'm talking about hundreds of hours of heavy usage across several Roms most recently this one. Try out some profiles from the kt-sgs4 Ktweaker shop here on XDA.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] alextop30:
I just want want to say thanks to Dan! I was a bit skeptical to put the rom on since I finally updated to the new modem but let me say it has been nothing but greatness.

Thank you Dan you are awesome and awesome work!

The rom is ultra fast here is a comparison that I like to make with my other friends that have a GS4 and I am a bit of a car guy: The official Samsung software is like - Toyota Scion FRS - it has good hardware but oh boy did something go wrong in the tuning because it simply does not do what it should. Now take that hardware and put the right tweaks on it and all of a sudden you end up with Subaru Impreza WRX.

The phone is very good - the GS4 has plenty good but the Touchwiz (yes I feel dirty everytime I write it or say it) slows it down to a retarded pace. I absolutely do not miss the lagg when I flip through my homescreens. Try the rom is my suggestion but make sure you have M4K modem on to prevent data drops. If you need help updating your modem I have written also a couple of long posts about how I was able to do it after 3 months of trying.

Thank you again Dan and great work!

UPDATE IN THE OP

03/27/2014

-Cloudprint fixed (MAJOR bug), grab it from the market if you need it

-Updated Google Keyboard in System/app

-Updated Google TTS in System/app

-Cleaned up some reboot menu code

-Removed xposed, gravitybox, xuimod, get these yourself.

-Made apollo a flashable addon

-Google is now testing 4.4.3, this is a OTA I expect we will get in the next month or two

everything is fully up to date on clean flash

this ROM has taken a cleaner approach for its final release, 4.4.3 is around the corner, I will not force xposed and gravitybox on my users, I recently just stopped using them in favor of the "vanilla" android feel but these features will remain fully compatible, you will just need to restore your backups or install the APK cleanly, very easy to find here on XDA
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] InspiresMe:
This rom feels MUCH faster than before and thats with my tweaked ktoonz kernel. This kernel is just right IMO. I love how its much cleaner than before also. Amazing. No need for the S5 for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
you should compare the 2 versions in ADB, cloudprint was causing issues on EVERYONES phone if it wasn't disabled, it could not work if enabled (properly) and worst of all, if you tried to update it from the market it would error out

with this build, if you use it simple download it from the market, you will be able to update it in the event of an update and it will function 100%

also its amazing the speed difference when you update all the gapps, its nice flashing and seeing the market fully up to date so the phone has less to do on first boot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
I took down the ROM in the OP, SU is out of date, just updating that and reuploading
