a detailed flashing algorithm? really?

if you cant dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullsh!t...

Nobody says "flashing algorithm".

Any version of TWRP or CWM recoveries work.

The OP (original [first] post) has installation instructions. and the loki information is in BRIGHT RED

Full wipe is, "format data", i belive, i use CWM, the option is "factory reset/wipe user data".

You dont sound like you know enough to be continuing, but hey, I'm all for letting people self-destruct.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TRusselo:
yes this is because the new gravity box is technically a different app (for KK) and the original Gravitybox that came installed with the rom was installed in system/app folder. requiring root access to delete/uninstall. Similarily to how i have to use tibu to uninstall chrome browser every update, as i use chrome

beta

browser.

Can you create a zip for going back to stock.:victory:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
I guess I should have said that smartasses need not reply. My bad.

OP is not clear about when the loki-ing is supposed to happen. I remember doing it a while ago, though I kinda lost touch with this whole loki-doki process. At some point I was living under the impression that newer TWRP versions do the loki-ing automatically... Or was that OUDHS? And doing a search for loki-doki yielded a dazzling array of postings, very hard to sort out useful information from. Now what can be more natural than to ask for that here, hear it from the horse's mouth? Only a total smartass would take issue with that.

Thank you, though I sorta need something more than just "I believe." Anyone using TWRP knows exactly what the "full wipe" option is please?

If you look at my signature, you'll notice that I've been on these forums for longer than you, and I've been doing CM flashes ever since--most likely long before you got into the game. Interestingly enough, I have never bricked a phone. Go figure!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TRusselo:
just re-flash the rom with no wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TRusselo:
actually you dont have a signature, but in your profile user stats, you have been a member for a while, yes, but have 420 posts, and if you want to compare... well i am a recognized dev, was a mod, til i quit, and have 4500 posts. so go ahead try to pull rank on your sign up date.

you are the one asking how to flash a rom, what a full wipe is, and when to flash the loki-doki zip...

day one stuff.

I dont even have a locked bootloader, but i know that the loki-doki zip modifies your kernel to be loki compatible...

so that would mean that you would have to flash your new kernel first, before loki-doki, the kernel is included with the rom...

So... if there are only 2 things to flash, which would you flash 1st and second?? self explanatory.

EDIT: ADDITION: if you are as experienced at xda as you say, you would know that we do not spoon feed users who ask questions answered in the first post, nor users that have obviously not done enough research before attempting to flash. your questions are obvious flags that you have not read enough to proceed.

I think I remember reading something from Dan saying that don't encrypt..

I would imagine that you would need to odin to get back..

Make sure you get the mdl of that was the version that you were on..

You'll have to exploit the bootloader and only mdl could do that..

I would directly msg danvdh and confirm..

Please report back..

@dolphin240

Odin and push a new recovery..

See what that does..

Took a while, but I'm factory reset. Here goes the long process of getting everything back to the way it was before.... (I'm a n00b, things take longer than they should lol)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] HORiZUN:
Just odin back to stock. That should fix ANY problems you ever have from a software standpoint.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] basily:
???

This is awesome. I'm looking forward to a relatively "final" ROM, and development slowing down a bit so i can flash... I hate wiping and setting everything up on my phone again, so I'm being patient...

At the risk of being told off for requesting features... Any chance you might consider including some features from a popular xposed module like gravity box, seeing as we can't use xposed anymore?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rav4kar:
IMHO, GPE edition should stay as close as stock for stability purposes. Features such as battery percentage ,etc can be added. I have used xposed with AOSP ROMs but I don't think we ever need it on GPE ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] duckredbeard:
I'm getting too many "No Service" areas that had not been so on other ROMs. Seems to be usually when waking the device. I've seen it red or yellow for an hour at a time. No other device here has such dropped coverage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] webbie2:
Everything is working fine. Only issue that is starting since last night. When I get calls the phone doesn't wake until I click home button. Anyone experience this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cantenna:
Hard to say... You could try to reflash twrp again via odin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
My phone has always done this until yesterday. Tore the backing off and cleaned the proximity sensor. Fixes my issue.

Might want to get a sensor app and see if there is anything reading from the proximity sensor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] basily:
I agree, in principle, however, with the very real prospect that we might never get working xposed on Lollipop, it leaves a lot of users divided between staying on with 4.4 and updating. There is much functionality that comes with various xposed modules that cannot be duplicated with any app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JekyllInside:
Coming from this same 4.4 ROM, I jumped to 5.0. Full wipes and the whole stuff. I'm on i337m (Telcel Mexico).

Running this 5.0 with latest Googy 1.2.3d, everything is running OK. Yeah, I suffer some freezes, but I believe that's normal in a brand new system like 5.0. I have been playing with governors and io schedulers but when is ok, the performance is great, but the random freezes still occur, specially with Plex playing on bluetooth and Facebook.

Thanks Danvdh and Googy for the hard work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
Yes please, keep this one as close to stock GPE as possible!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
For those having audio stuttering try this in build.prop, make sure you backup your build.prop first.

Ipa.decode=true to

lpa.decode=false

tunnel.decode=true to tunnel.decode=false

lpa.use-stagefright=true to

Then reboot. Let me know how it works

this is a confirm fixed, good work

whats wrong with being able to toggle some of the settings that are just simple true/false values in the framework via some setting options? I keep this ROM neat and professional without branding the ROM. I have 50,000 downloads so I'm obviously doing it right

I also use hangouts, not for sms/mms but simply for instant messaging and video calls. Let me know if you need more testers. I periodicity clean install your roms on my daily driver and try various different looks.

[MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION]

Hey Dan, long time since we last chatted (back when you had Dandroid running on the s3). How ya been? Hope your recovery from your car accident has gone well.

Quick question, my buddy has an s4, and desperately wants to get rid of touchwiz. He has no knowledge of rooting, roms, etc, but wants my help with turning it into a gpe device. I've read up on the rooting process, and should have no problems with that part. I'm also aware we can't just flash a gpe image and turn it into a gpe s4 (ota updates from Samsung / google).

Just curious as to if we flash your Rom on his device, will your updates come through as ota, or will I have to manually flash any updates for him down the road? That's my only concern as he won't have any understanding of flashing an update. If there's no otas, would you say the latest build is stable enough to flash for him and to leave him on his own from there on out? Is there anything I should maybe warn him of? Thanks in advance bro. And Merry Christmas!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] superspacey:
I'm running this ROM now happily. When you install/update TWRP it asks you for your device name, if my device was originally jfltecan, does that still apply or now should I use jgedlte which is described for Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition?

Can't wait for xmas eve. Just caught up on the thread and was about to either change recover or edit the boot image. If there is an update coming out Wed I'll just wait to update from 4.4.4. Thanks for the great ROM dan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] HORiZUN:
Root the phone, install a custom recovery,flash the rom after a full wipe. That's all it takes to get from touchwiz to GPE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bdithug:
Yes but he would not get any ota updates pushed to his device, correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] HORiZUN:
Nope, unless the dev puts an ota update apk in it. But you could download the updated version of the rom from the xda thread, copy to the SD card, and flash it. Just make sure you wipe system between builds.

Here is a picture of the ota update app from this GPE rom from Danvdh.

I am still using the jeebo recovery that was reccomended when the first lollipop version came out. I flashed and left auto loki on with no issues. Just flashed and rebooted. I think the new loki patch Dan posted was for people that wanted to use a different recovery. Flash in any different recovery and then use his updated loki patch if you don't want to use jeebo recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
exactly, it just makes it so using Jeebo isn't needed, TWRP latest users can just use the method in the OP
