Foldermount obb folder mounts doesn't work for me either on the new kernel. Try the previous kernel, it may fix your issue as it fixew foldermount issue for me

Does anyone know of a mod to let manual adjustment brightness get as bright as it does in AOSP ROM's?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TikiThePug:
I believe GravityBox has this under Display Tweaks. Unless I misunderstood your question.:p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CZ Eddie:
It does not offer any options for maximum brightness levels on manual adjustments. Thanks anyways though.

Im having trouble flashing this. I am flashing via safestrap on the ATT S4. I flash the rom, then the lokidoki patch. I reboot then I am stuck in a boot loop. Any ideas? It says that safestrap is disabled at the boot screen, but I can boot back into safestrap recovery, just not into the system
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CZ Eddie:
Can this Note 3 brightness mod be ported to GPE for S4?

I upgraded to latest. I'm getting a lot higher antutu benchmark scores with the previous rom. Im also using the previous kernel, I'm nearing 2900 on previous ROM, new 1800-2500.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
antutu is a piece of garbage, use quadrant

also benchmarks = useless
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cantenna:
Good to know.

Anyways, this is the best ROM for this phone. Its very stable for me and I do appreciate their being no flashy names or logos being embedded into the framework like some other roms. I wish I had this ROM on my xperia tablet z Pollux windy.

from a few posts back:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] basily:
So, the max brightness IS less than it was a few builds ago, right? Manual and automatic, no?

I've been using my phone as a bicycle mounted gps, and I could have sworn that I used to be able to see the screen in full sunlight. Not anymore.

The screen brightness is one of the reasons I chose this phone (i337). Is there any way to get the maximum brightness without having to resort to dreaded stock?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CZ Eddie:
I've never used Auto Brightness, so I can't comment on that other than to say generally, Auto Brightness offers higher peak brightness than Manual Brightness can give you.

I use Manual Brightness because I have a neat slider that is easy to use.

And yes, GPE ROM's are always dimmer than AOSP ROM's, at least for Manual Brightness adjustments. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cantenna:
Gravity box has tools you can use (I heard) also if you don't use foldermount try ktoonsez kernel, there a ton of display brightness option in that kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] basily:
Thanks, I've tried gravitybox and set the brightness to 255 for the top lux level. It's hard to tell the difference though... and if I understand currently, this ROM (and others?) are not able to set the display to the maximum brightness that the hardware is capable of. I might need to backup, and try out stock for the first time ever to see if I can tell if it's brighter or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] npackman:
Ooops...missed that! Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] basily:
On another note, has anyone had trouble getting the gps to get a position lock, or even see any satellites at all?

I'm testing with GPS Status, and not even seeing a single satellite while my nexus 7 is locking onto like 11 of them. I'm on the 03.27.2014 build, and I'm certain that my gps used to work on previous builds.

Any advice?

Hello,

I am running build # KOT49H.02.17.2014 on MDL baseband on ATT. I LOVE the rom, everything runs perfect except i have been having an issue with dropped signal. So yes, kind of annying problem and oddly enough it is the only problem for me lol. I am wondering what is recommended? Thank you so much for the wonderful ROM!

Sorry, I know this isn't the right place for this:

Sorry again, my searching only comes up with Odin.

I am on March 29 build. Do you clean install this or can you just flash it with Dalvik cache cleaned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Droidmissionary:
Yes the solution was to clean your proximity sensor by using compressed air through the ear speaker location. It gets dusty or simply cleaning the sensor on the screen sometimes does the trick if it's all dirty and smeared with face grease
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CharleyDC5:
You can just clear dalvik and cache and you are good to go.

A clean flash is always the best though.

Backup prior to go ahead :)

I have frequent issues with my media freezing (music, YouTube, SoundCloud, etc), it's been happening on the past three versions. My process so far for installation:

Wipe Phone

Install KOT49H ROM

Reboot

Restore app backups from Titanium Backup - Reboot

Install Xposed Framework and restore Gravitybox - Reboot

Install AdFree - Reboot

When I'm using media apps my phone does a quick vibrate, freezes, triple vibrates, and then the app crashes.

Can anyone help me? This is the best ROM I can find and I'd rather not go back to an older one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:

I too have the same Gps problem. Tried everything I can read about. Tried hyperdrive ROM and it worked perfectly. Restored an earlier image of this ROM and it also works. I'll use hyper for know but this is my favorite other than the gps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] basily:
Well, I solved MY gps problems. Nothing to do with the ROM, hernandez3674: I don't know if it's the same issue for you but, here's what I figured out...

Rogue app: OpenSignal 2.53

The gps would work fine after a reboot or if I switched it off and on again, but would quit working completely (like it was absent from my device) about 2 minutes later. It made me think that after flashing the new ROM version that my problem was gone, but then I realized it was back.

Anyway, I have frozen OpenSignal and the gps is fine again.

hernandez3674: if you have this app installed, I suggest you freeze it and test. If not, I suggest you freeze other apps that use your gps and test. Remember to try switching your gps off and on again and see what happens. Wait a few minutes, and test again...

This ROM uses Nova Launcher but you can directly download Google Now Launche from the PlayStore as it is now available for S4 devices.

First off, great rom! I've had the S4 since last May but never felt comfortable using a custom rom on my everyday phone. After a week, I must say that it's gone off without a hitch (almost) and inspired confidence in me to flash roms for my future phones.

I've read that there's issues with 4.4.2 in regards to Exchange ActiveSync when sync'ing with an Exchange server. I am running into this issue with this rom. After a few days, my phone will no longer receive emails, even when I manually refresh/push. I have to remove/re-add my account in order to receive email again, but it always eventually breaks the connection after a few days. Is there any fix for this? I've seen a few threads online mentioning that you need to accept a security certificate when prompted, but it doesn't seem to prompt with this rom. Has anyone else experienced/resolved this issue?

Thanks in Advance!

Light messaging skin ?

Hello,

Couple questions:

1) The dark messaging skin seems to be the only option with this ROM. Even if the option is unchecked. Anyone know of a way to get the light skin back for messaging ?

2) Also, when I use the voice to text option in the messaging client and select the paragraph, it does not populate the content into the message box. However, Google search works fine with voice.

Maybe my messaging app is busted ? Any help is appreciated !

With my phone on vibrate, I often get two sets of vibrations and no matching notifications. I am not sure how to even figure out what is causing them.

It operates in deep sleep therefor it has to be kernel related I'd imagine, I ship with stock kernel not modified in anyway whatsoever so I'm guessing that's why this works. I really should post my battery stats, It's crazy good atm, on pace for well over 5 hours screen on

nope, no touchwiz framework, just a touchwiz kernel modified for AOSP. twframework is nowhere to be seen in this ROM
