[MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION], Should we do a full wipe before installing or is a dirty flash alright? ( already on 12/15/13 ROM of yours)

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
Always recommended to clean install.

I find when I dirty install it seems fine then I find issues a week later. Especially if there are framework tweaks.

---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------

Nice update, most excited about the play store fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] martinomac:
Great work [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION], latest version is running smooth. Is it safe to say that these are 'under the hood ROM' updates and not kernel ones correct?

I wanted to know in case I flash KT's 12.12.13.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Matridom:
Dan, fantastic work here. I've always been a fan of the ASOP ROM's, you have apparently found the magic mix of tweaking to add the needed usability without loosing the stock ASOP feeling.

Have a few beers on me.

OTA???

OTA updates? Or am I missing somthing here.

Awesome work btw sir! Fastcharge in the future?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Locoman_:
Do not install the OTA update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Matridom:
The update code did not get disabled in your install for some reason. What will happen is if you reboot, the OTA will try to install, it will catch that several partitions are not "stock" (system and recovery come to mind). and error out with code 7. What you need is a way of disabling the OTA update check.

Now i've never gotten the update notification, is it possible you manually checked to see if there was a system update available?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] finnmacool:
You're not crazy, I got that message as well with no manual check.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Matridom:
Interesting, .

I've dug a little into it as i remember these issues when i was using nexus devices, there are 2 options:

First, modify the ro.build.fingerprint line in the build.prop file. The build number, in my case it's "KOT49H.S001", the same as the standard google edition, so my phone *should* receive OTA notifications. Modifying this number should prevent a fingerprint match, stopping OTA's from arriving.

Secondly, you can disable notifications for Google Services Framework. This will prevent the OTA messages from appearing, but *not* stop the device from downloading the update. Some people recommend disabling the services framework entirely, I'm unsure of the complications so i won't go that route.

I've just impletmented option 1, will see how it goes. but since i'm already on 4.4.2, there is no OTA to test with.

EDIT: I should add, that option 1 will not prevent the phone from checking for updates, only that it should always return that there are no updates available. I'm also a stickler for details, i modified the ro.build.display.id to match the modification on the fingerprint line. This way, when viewing "about phone" it shows the modification. In my case it's "KOT49H.CUSTOM"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TRusselo:
yes you are missing something... updating to 4.4.2 danvhd rom. you are on an old version. please update (through this thread, not that notification.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JLopez149:
I usually run TW roms but have been experimenting with AOSP off and on. I like the messaging theme but was wondering if there is a way to show multiple incoming pictures individually instead of as a gallery that you have the play? Thanks in advance

Thank You!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] linkin275:
maybe im just not seeing it anywhere. but where is "proximity sensor sensitivity adjustment"? would love to be able to change it because my otter box defender screws with my proximity sensor sensitivity. thank you for your hard work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ImpheOtus:
That's something [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] modified in the code, not an option you can adjust.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
yes this is just to fix a nag I had where I would be on a call and use the phone "too close to my face" while opening an app or something and the prox would turn the screen off thinking I had it up to my my ear, this adjustment seems to have eliminated that annoyance for me

Hey, what is CSC? And what is its purpose that we wouldn't want? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 1weener:
Your build runs beautifully. I am however having a notification/battery light failure for missed calls. The light doesn't come on. It does work without GravityBox enabled. Everything else seems pretty dern solid.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
You answered you're own question. Its not my build, its gravitybox :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bradl79:
is there an extended reboot without using gravity box
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rev_9394:
any way to disable the Android o/s updates?

i keep getting prompted to update to 4.4 but it'll crash because im using a custom recovery

edit: i have google services framework disabled right now to ignore it, but i feel that this may screw up other things in the long run..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] LimitsX:
hey@

I just want to ask something.

How do I flash the Google Exp. launcher?

I am coming from stock 4.2.2 TW rom.

So full wipe the rom (ensure 4.3 modem is flashed). once rom is flashed via TWRP, I flash lunacher and then wipe dalvik + cache, reboot into system??

Any appropriate steps would be appreciated :)!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
this method will work just fine ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Locoman_:
Flash the current rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
The best method to block the notification for OTA is to just simply use gravity box's "ongoing notification blocker" to block notifications from google services framework, won't affect anything else and you won't have to compromise you're system and create wakelocks to block the OTA, this will have zero effects and just simply make it so the OTA is available but not nagging you in the status bar

but yes, the best choice would be to flash my latest release ;) it's pretty sweet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] FULLTIMEIT:
Hi guys, got my S4 yesterday and immediately hopped on this great rom !

I think the only thing that's kind weird for me is when I am in call with someone the signal bar shows no signal and when I hang up it just says out of call area and hangs up. the call and everything works great and all, just wondering if its my phone that's got issue or anyone have the same experience

o this is on TELUS in CANADA btw, but anyways this is probably the best rom I used over the 8-9ish android device I used , smooth , stable, google edition

will buy OP a Beer with I get a chance tomorrow
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
what modem are you running man? I'm telus as well and don't experience this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] harrywang888:
Wow amazing rom dan! Flashed it couple hours ago everything is going very smooth so far. Going to test the battery and stuff.

Has anyone tried using crossbreeder or supercharger on this rom? Also what seems to be the best 4.4 kernel for battery life?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
I'm having great results with the stock kernel ATM but ktoonsez international Google edition with my settings in the 2nd post worked solid for me on 4.3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ludespeed:
MightyText

Updated to the latest build today; when I use mighty text sent messages show up twice but luckily the person only gets the text once. It was working perfectly on a previous build.

It's nothing major but I'm just wondering if anyone has the same problem or it's just me. I tried uninstalling/clear data on mighty text. I wiped data when I updated to latest build. Thanks for reading!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
didn't do anything that would effect Mighty text, I use it myself to be honest, I've had that issue in the past, it's just mighty text sync bug. should be fine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] s1l3nt:
Looking forward to 4.4. Have been running jizzer roms this whole time but I feel like now I need a cleaner experience with GPE kitkat at least now that i can rely on xposed framework and modules
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
Update in the OP

11/28/2013

-Rebased on latest OTA 4.4

-Odexed

-Framework.jar hacked to allow security

-Busybox installed

-Latest KT kernel for GE 4.4

-VPN will force close, looking for a fix (all roms have this atm)

-Xposed 4.4 beta and gravity box latest installed

known issues:

vpn doesn't work yet

3g icons shows instead of H+ (H+ IS 3G ANYWAY!, I'm pretty sure this was intended because the ROM mentions 3g everywhere!)

ART doesn't work until we re-odex framework.jar

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] FrenchToast_:
damn man thanks for this rom! just wondering, could you release a clean 4.4 google edition rom? perhaps with stock kernel, no root, no busybox, no xposed/gravity box? again, thanks for this awesome rom man
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
stock kernel = reboots

busybox does not affect the rom at all

is xposed/and gravity box really that hard to delete out of the zip from system/app using 7zip on windows before you transfer it to you're phone and flash?

yes people, you can debloat roms this way ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dnyc:

external SD card support looks to be resolved

treat this as a preview build guys

Hey, great ROM, just one question about the latest update...

When you say Samsung free it includes Galaxy Gear support?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
I left S-view support, no idea what gear support is, is that the watch? I left the galaxygear apk in system/app so try it

ROFL! UPDATE IN THE OP

12/19/2013

-adjusted build.prop tweaks

-removed google drive (get it from the market)

-removed chrome (get it from the market)

-Qualcomm-optimized Dalvik & Bionic libraries (compare with ART now :P)

-The screenshot on the left is yesterdays build after a full day and a settled kernel, the one on the right is from a half hour so ago :P

update 7:12 AM, I did another benchmark after allowing the phone and kernel to settle down a bit

pretty insane... These benchmarks rival art and this is also amazing because optimized dalvik will not increase battery consumption, it will actually lower it!

to anyone wondering where the patches come from, These have been authored by Qualcomm. Bionic patch comes from Code Aurora Forum, Dalvik library has been extracted from Moto X 4.4. ROM and will work with any Qualcomm device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Locoman_:
You ought to add "Daily" to the thread title. ;)

Quick question: To take advantage of the "Qualcomm-optimized Dalvik & Bionic libraries" do you need to stick with the stock kernel?

And THANKS for this work of art!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
Nope. Flash any kernel you like. This is a ROM optimization. I'm just about done lol. Don't forget I'm building my daily driver here too!

wifi issues, looking for solution

Is anyone having issues with wifi not working and getting stuck at "turning on" but is greyed out and and can't be activated? I've tried everything I could think of and find via search. It seems like it only effects my phone on kitkat roms. I've tried Danvdh's rom as well as kangakat and also used several different kernels with each but still no luck. All clean installs. On rare occassions it will turn on but then on a reboot it will get stuck again. It's driving me nuts and no one else seems to be having this issue. On the other hand if I drop back to a 4.3 Jelly Bean rom it works fine. I'm on ATT i337 with MK2 modem.

Full wipe is always the smart thing to do but dirty flashing may be okay. Then again, it might only seem okay until.....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dnyc:
Do you still use ktoonez kernel? Or the one that comes with ROM works just fine for battery and performance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] zerogun:
Depends on what you're using it for. If you're on your phone all the time web surfing and watching videos... then prolly not, since you'll most likely be maxing out the CPU. However, if you're like me and use it for text, checking email, and checking traffic, then it's awesome.

I have the Ktoonsez kernel and I have it set to the Ktoonservative governor. I have touch boost on 2 cores, at 810 and it's still really snappy. I have the lowest CPU speed to be 81 MHz, and undervolted 125 across the board. It's awesome on standby, barely losing 1.2% an hour.

YMMV.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] stl-soldier:
Awesome ROM Dan! Running great without a single issue so far. The only things I'm missing are the email app and a way to disable the home button screen wake. Anyone know where to get those for AOSP/GE 4.4.2? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] harrywang888:
If I wanted the best battery life should I be using ktoonez kernel? I'm also trying out ART right now would the new optimized dalvic be better battery life as well?

This is definitely 1 of the best roms out there right now! #1 in 4.4 for sure. Keep up the great work dan its amazing.

Is it absolutely necessary to start with a complete wipe coming from 12.18 ROM? BTW... Awesome job on this ROM. I've yet to find any real issues with the ROM itself. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] s1l3nt:
Dirty flash it. If you have problems or bugs after dirty flash, then wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ponp74:
I've read too many posts about people with issues after dirty flash to know that its probably best if I do a wipe. Knowing my luck, its better if I do a clean install. Thanks for the quick reply.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] stl-soldier:
I just went from 18 to 19 with just cache/dalvic wipe and everything is running perfect. Data/system wipes are usually not required for updates of the same OS version unless the Dev specifically says so. You should be good with going dirty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
Me neither :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] treyphan77:
This ROM is Sick. I am beyond impressed with performance and stability. I would say your work is right up there with Task's. Great job!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
Thanks for the nice comments, I just want to chime in and let you know I appreciate you're comment but the work I do and the work Task does is not very similar at all. To explain this further Task builds AOSP from source using a series of commands in linux, he compiles everything himself and this itself takes a great deal of time to learn and master, then the list goes on because in order to build a original ROM you need to learn GIT and it's commands (ex: cherry-pick, fork)

I have the ability to build from source, I've done it time to time for myself and actually released 1 ROM in the process, but this ROM is compiled by Samsung and just optimized by me, I did spend alot of time making a clean system dump of 4.4.2 to work with, but the work I do and the work Task does in his ROM cannot in anyway be compared.

Hope this helps you understand a little more about google edition :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] graydiggy:
I've been running this since it was Dandroid. It has all the good stuff and none of the crap I don't need, want, or use. Battery life is imfreakingcredible compared to any other ROMs I have used. I used to only get 10 hours with light to medium usage on TW, AOSP, AOKP, CM and on PAC (since it is essentially 3 in one) now I go 10 hours for work with light to medium use and still have 75% when I'm on my way home. I never thought I would see that on this phone.

My only issue (I'm sure it is my fault) is every app force closes after between 2 and 10 minutes. Once reopened it is fine until I either reboot or clear the memory. It is mostly user apps that do it but it happens on some system apps from time to time. Other than that, your tweaks are perfect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
The only thing I see force close is tapatalk sometimes however the app is buggy as hell. Are you restoring old backups with titanium?

shazam says that another app is using the mic... also the IR blaster doesnt seem to be working... the Watch On app doesnt work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
WatchON never worked with 4.4.2 GE, you need to get another remote app from the market to control infared. I recommend Smart IR remote, also Shazam has been broken for quite some time on kit kat. The developer needs to update because nothing is using the mic.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bradl79:
flash the zip in recovery, or u can take the GoogleHome.apk and open with a file explorer and install, u should already have google now installed, so when u launch the google home launcher swipe left and google now is there, to get "ok google" working swipe left to google now and goto settings at the bottom, Voice --> offline speech recognition -->move all the way to the right to auto-update, then backall the way to Installed tab and then update the English(US) file and then ur done and u can use Ok Google.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] johnus:
Well, I'm finally installing a new ROM on my AT&T S4 after 6 months of running stock. This one seems to be everything I want in a ROM. But I'm having the strangest issue with the 12/19 build. I'm doing a factory reset in TWRP and then manually wiping dalvik/cache/data/system, and then installing the ROM, the MK2 modem, and loki-doki. It boots up just fine the first time. I can get through setup, it connects to the cell network and my WiFi and syncs everything properly. But as soon as I reboot, it gets stuck on the Samsung boot logo. In order to get back into the ROM, I have to get into recovery and do a factory reset and format data. It then boots up okay once. But the next time I reboot, it gets stuck at the Samsung logo again.

Any ideas? I've re-downloaded twice, checked the MD5 on everything, and have completely re-flashed it all several times now. Happens every single time. I feel like I'm missing something incredibly simple here, even though I'm not a novice at flashing Android ROMs.
