[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoboBrazil:
Danvdh, are there any plans for an updated kernel like you had for the 4.4.2 version by ktoonsez that fixes colors? That one gave me awesome battery life too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] blazefury:
Move the apk to the priv app folder under the system folder... Then install that same apk like any other app... Reboot and you should be good

P. S.

Make sure to remove the app from the data folder before you reboot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gadianton:
I used titanium back up to make it a system app. That didn't work until I moved to the priv app folder. You may need to set the read write permissions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] daddysays:
I figured it out. Been awhile so I forgot.

Once you move it to priv-app you have to click on it to run the install from that directory. Works perfectly fine now, and I dont get wake locks when off charger and in sleep mode.

I don't know if its just me but whenever I download new photos to my phone, they don't show up in the gallery app. My phone also doesn't read any of the ringtones/notification sounds that I add to the internal storage of my phone. Is anyone experiencing this issue as well? And is this a known 4.4.4 issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SYRK.CORP:
Awesome!!

Many thanks for your amazing ROM. It works fine for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Clean flash again? Works for me.

Don't know of one then, sorry man.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] F1r3fx:
I've moved the apk to the priv-app folder and installed it from there. Everything works... but only for a while. If I leave the phone idle for about 20 minutes, google search constantly crashes. When I reboot it also crashes and I can't even find it as a system or user app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PENKO956:
is this normal? my main wakelock all the time is proximity sensor. i had about 10 calls this morning. just want to know if this is normal behavior.

Yep totally normal by the looks of it :)

[MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION], this ROM is incredible. It's without a doubt the most stable ROM I've ever used on any device (dating back to "Bugless Beast" on OG Droid). I actually just took CM11 M8 for a weeklong test-drive, and even that can't compare - restored my back-up of this ROM last night :D

flawless :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PENKO956:
ok. Thanks for the quick reply Dan. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sakete:
I concur! Very stable ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qixiixiq:
OTA prompts

Bugless Beast, now thats a blast from the past - seriously thought this rom is amazing, my only question is: am i supposed to be getting OTA prompts? every time i try to update it fails but i was dumbfounded to have even gotten the OTA offer on a non GPE device.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Just download the OTA, then go to /cache using Root Browser and delete the file. Then update it from the notification shade. It will fail, then just reboot it and the OTA prompt will be gone for good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qixiixiq:
What I was wondering was how would I be able to apply the ota update?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dadykhoff:
Don't. Unless you want to lose root and all the features of this ROM. That is, even if it works (which I doubt it would). Just disable the notification like he said. Dan has the most recent android version on the latest build anyways so you wouldn't be gaining anything by taking an OTA.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] no_username_available:
will this work with clockwork mod recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nestoh:
Yeah
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] no_username_available:

BUMP

Really? No one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] moesasin:
Why would you intentionally break this feature and not leave this up to the users discretion? At least put some instructions in the OP!

Enable OK Google Everywhere Options

1. Using root: move com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.apk from /data/app to /system/priv-app

(This can be done with the included file manager>Settings>Root Explorer, Mount System Folders

2. Once moved, select the apk file and install.

3. Reboot. Options should be enabled.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Its simple. Its his rom. Keyword his. His that he shares. Biggest misunderstanding about devs on is exactly that. Its not anybody's but the developers. That he shares.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rahlquist:
Because if he enabled it by default hundreds would be here *****ing about battery life, instead maybe 5 have asked how to get it working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PENKO956:
Google Search is the worst Google app of them all. do you know what a wakelock is? The dev gets to put whatever he wants on his rom. be glad he posted rom for us to use.

on a side note, here are my results for the day. love this rom! :good::good::good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spacemonkie4207:
Google has the most Wakelocks. If you don't like the way it's set up move fiddle search to privapp or try another ROM. Simple

AOSP S4 Bluetooth call echo problem

Seems like all AOSP roms I try on this phone create a horrible echo for a caller while using a bluetooth headset (Two different head sets were tested, both samsung). TW roms sound just fine. Anyone have a fix for this? CM11 did it, this ROM does it. Wicked v11 did NOT do it, stock Samsung ROM doesn't do it either.

Just incompatible bluetooth stack from Google on the AOSP ROMs?

For me this is something I cannot live with, I make important calls with my phone.

EDIT: Perhaps a different kernel will solve this? Kernel with the bluetooth stack from TW maybe if that exists.

EDIT: Tried Hyperdrive, it did it until I disabled noise suppression. CM11 would do it with or without noise suppression enabled. I see no way to disable noise suppression on the ROM in this thread to test though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vesutiiji:
Anyone know how to get chrome to download videos when you click a video to play and select the browser as the "player" I used to download videos on stock like this, does anyone know how to get it do l to do that on this rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HeavyA:
Not sure about chrome, but Firefox beta has a video downloader function.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Emerl:
While the video is playing, long press on the video and press "save video" :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bob Hodges:
Why doesn't the SGH-M919 rom have customized edition or pure nexus versions like the GT-I9505?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Demand really, INTL community is by far my biggest following, what I'm releasing to you guys is the customized edition with the stock kernel, it's far better then Pure Nexus IMO, I don't like stock mms, stock dialer and google now launcher
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Don't like the new boot animation too much...doesn't look like it's made for our device (not centered, etc )
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dayrew:
Anything I can change to help battery life? In only getting 45 minutes of screen time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Its made for our device, its a qimg and the alignment is perfect...

I hated the other one. It was small and laggy, not smooth at all man
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
To each person his own haha. The other one didn't lag on me with kt's kernel so I didn't notice. The word "android" seems so big on the screen so I don't like it that much imo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] norml:
I was wondering if latest Ktoonsez kernel is working good with this? I'd rather use KT than stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EternalSoil:
I flashed this rom the other day and I like it a lot but I'm having signal loss or no signal issues in places I previously had flawless high speed data. I came from Rooted Stock T-Mobile ROM.

I don't know enough about radios/modems/kernals/basebands etc to know what I need to do.

I searched the thread and this is the closest to what I can think I I would need to do.

Am I correct?

Do I need to update the baseband? One that shows on my phone is M919UVUAMDL I assume the below post is referring to the last 3 letters.

Help would be appreciated!

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] guyverzero:
Would also like to know....with the pre 4.4.3 one, wasn't it a collab at least on the kernel? Is this still the case (or was I just misinformed in the first place?) I know that ever since 4.4.3/4, the phone has been turning on when plugged in again, so the kernel must not be the same....which is a shame, since for 4.4.2 the thing was just about perfect for me....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Yeah it does. Give you customization options.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Yes update modem to MK2 or NB4, bootloader update is not required
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] atlharp:
Yes. It is working with mine as we speak. Been quite good!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EternalSoil:
Thanks for the response. I had done it already and doors seem to be much better, like it was.

Separate issues:

I flashed the gravitybox shortcut and when I try to use it it says "unfortunately, settings has stopped"

Is there a way to get regular Swype keyboard on here? I prefer it to the Google one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
you need gravitybox installed for that shortcut to work, also I think you can get swype from the market..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EternalSoil:
Well I guess that would make sense.

Haven't been able to get Swype from the market in forever. Usually have to flash it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ositoe:
Anybody else have this issue or know how to fix it? I'm on the latest build. :(

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ositoe:
Thank you for the insightful response... I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue because I had never encountered this before on any of Dan's roms and would prefer not to wipe my entire data, especially if anyone had an easier way to fix this. I did not ask to get such an unintelligent answer like yours. If you had no other way of helping other than making this thread even more cluttered, then don't bother replying to a post. Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dadykhoff:
Did you dirty flash? I'd try do a full wipe and reflash the ROM if so.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Swiftkey is free now... I find that I prefer it to Swype 90% of the time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ositoe:
No I did a full wipe, I installed all of my apps and set up everything else. The last thing I changed before this happened was the built prop, and the only thing I changed from there was the model of the phone. (from GT-i9505 to SGH-M919 and jgedlte to jfltetmo) However, changing it back did not solve the issue. :crying:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
It's quite simple actually. Let me go full barney style so you get it.

You installed rom.

You set up your credentials.

You started downloading your favorite apps.

These apps (your favorite apps in case I've lost you so far) downloaded and installed to this partition called "data"

Obviously somewhere along the line, something messed something up. And considering you're too lazy to follow the simple instructions it gave you, you probably also used tibu or an alike app, which going from update to update using tibu or an alike app eventually catches up and people have issues.

So let's not be lazy and just wipe your data, reinsert credentials, re download apps, and have it fixed instead of asking and waiting hours for a response when the answer is right in front of you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] doat:
Does this rom have the lockscreen notification or do all 4.4.4 roms have that now?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Nope.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] doat:
Oh, I thought that was a new feature that google implemented I've been seeing it on quite a few roms lately and I absolutely love the feature.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ositoe:
Perhaps you should've asked what else I did instead of assuming...

I already tried that, and no I did not use titanium backup or something similar because I assumed that that might have been the culprit. I have been very busy with school and work, so like I said before, I would rather not have to wipe everything again, ergo why I was wondering if anyone else had had the same issue. Refer to my initial post again in case you missed it, and don't jump to conclusions. I have been keeping up with this thread for a while now and have never seen this issue before. Sorry for having to repeat myself again, but if you don't have anything else for me to try other than the obvious, stop wasting your time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:

Gravity Box Not Working

I just flashed this rom with a clean install. I also installed the gravity box add on, but when I try to go to the "interface" menu in settings, I get the response "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." I've tried reflashing gravity box, with no luck. I also tried reflashing the rom followed by gravity box again, and again no luck. Any ideas how to get it to work?

EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out after checking back a page. =/ Tried searching the thread for an answer with no luck, but I just managed to come across the answer scrolling through comments.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadabout:
It's amazing what you find when you use search

I would recommend going through these websites. Click Here. I did a simple Google search and came up with a few sites that had fixes or work arounds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] braschlosan:
Ive had that problem a couple times in the past year while using this rom. Sometimes doing permisions fix from recovery makes it go away. Other times I restored a backup and it was solved. Once I had to delete the data of a single offending application and that fixed it.

Still not sure what triggers it in the middle of the night on a fully functional phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Apostle:
I've been using this ROM since the beginning and for the first time, this past weekend I noticed that I no longer have to spoof my computer into thinking I am on a Mac. I used IE to stream HD movies all weekend and I am showing ZERO tethering data usage on TMO.

Has anyone noticed Android os eating up a large portion of the battery? I can from a CM11 ROM and clean flashed and have waited a couple days to see if it would die down. Not sure if it's a Google thing or not.

Big fan of this ROM been using it and several versions of it through out the various Android versions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SelfElevated2:
Is the battery life on this comparable to battery on TW since it has the stock kernel made by Samsung? Only ask bc AOSP roms usually have some really crappie battery life

Battery life isn't good
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] guyverzero:
The battery life on 4.4.2 was awesome, I'm sure in good time it'll be back up to par. Stick with this rom, it's the best out there if you ask me. Once a custom, tweaked kernel is (hopefully) put in and perfected it'll be some of the best battery life you've ever had without compromising performance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Yes it is... You probably have apps causing wakeups
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] guyverzero:
Asked this a couple times, but I know you're really busy with life both inside and outside of rom development....any reason why the 4.4.3/4 release of this rom ditched the kt kernel and went with stock? Seems like the i9505 has the choice of kernels (including kt), and I know the 4.4.2 had a kt one that was especially made for this rom. I installed KTweaker myself and put ktoonsified v6 on there, but right now it's causing some led problems and home button lag is back (at least when waking up)....haven't really gotten to test it out otherwise, but it's already two more problems than the final release of your 4.4.2 rom had with the kernel, as it was just about perfect to me . Any plans to bring the customized kernel to standard builds of this version of the rom? Thanks again for all the development you've put into this thing, with or without bringing the kernel to the rom it's still the best thing for the S4 by far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SelfElevated2:
That's because KT kernel seems to add home and wake lag, sometimes screen flickering. The stock kernel is better. If you want KT kernel download it from the thread. If the kernel's giving you issues than why would he include it in the ROM to give us all the issues

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KB Smoka:
That may be the case for you and others but for me and obviously [MENTION=4642742]guyverzero[/MENTION] 4.4.2 with the custom kernel was the best version of this ROM I've ever used in terms of stability and battery life. Not complaining at all of course as the newest version is perfectly fine as well. I do install the KT kernel though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] atlharp:
So I lasted about 3 hours on another ROM. This thing is friggin rock stable. Lovin it Dan! Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] guyverzero:
Personally, I didn't have any screen flickering....as for the home/wake lag, that was gotten rid of by the time 4.4.2 was end of life'd. I have downloaded the KT kernel, and it is giving me minor problems....the one with this one (at least to my knowledge) was a custom collab between Dan and KT, and was a slightly modified version of the stock one in his thread specifically for this rom. Plus.....to your point, if it really was giving major issues, why would it seemingly be included in the i9505 thread (which has many more users.....if stock was better, wouldn't you think that would be used there as well?) I'm just looking for a bit of info so I can decide how I want to proceed from here, that's all

Dropping signal

So I've been flipping through the forums and may have an answer to my issue, but wanted to run it by you guys before starting over. I had an old 4.2 (I think) ROM installed for long time before I had the time to flash a new ROM. I wiped then flashed this ROM with no issues, and it's been running great, but I noticed that some places, mainly at work, I stopped getting service. Looking around it looks like I should either odin the latest bootloader/modem, but I'm not entirely sure. Right now I have baseband M919UVUAMDL. I thought about just flashing the NB4 modem, but I read a broken English response from June that made it seem like updating the modem without updating the bootloader causes more service problems. Should I just flash the newest modem, or odin the NB4 tar with bootloader and all, and then start over with rooting and flashing this ROM?

---------- Post added at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

Not sure if we had the same problem, but I had dirt/dust built up between the screen and the proximity sensor (the one just to the right of the ear speaker). I just pried the top right corner up a little with a finger nail, slipped a peice of paper in to where the sensor is, put a little pressure on the sensor with my thumb, and rubbed back and forth for a while and it fixed the problem. I originally thought there was something blocking the sensor because sensor checkers would say that there was something 0cm from the sensor even when there was nothing near it. After "cleaning" it, the sensors would shift between 8 and 0 (which I think is normal).

I use OK Google for 3rd party activities from Exposed. Works fine with Nova Launcher from any screen. If you're not using ART you may want to give it a try.

its really not worth it man, it wakelocks and drains your battery like no tomorrow, why ppl prefer GEL over lightweight feature packed Nova just baffles me =/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Drizzythebiker:
It's a feature that I actually use a lot. I just want to get it up and running on this otherwise awesome rom. And I've been running the GEL launcher for a while now. Took a bit or adjusting at first. But I find that once I adjusted I actually favor it over others. Does what I need it too and constantly gives me info with little effort. I guess just a personal preference.. But like I said, I love this rom. It just does what others can't.
