Thanks, Dan. Merry Christmas to you, too! It has been my daily driver as well. Very happy with it. :)

Thanks for helping him out. Just a ? Though? Why edit the build.prop back to tmo?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hotbread:
Some apps on the play store such as Plants vs Zombies 2 will show as incompatible if left as GT-I9505G.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dR03:
Thanks Danvdh! This is a great daily driver and has all the great functions I'm looking for.

My only issue is when using an S-View Cover there is no option to slide to answer or caller ID.

When I set my alarm for this morning the option WAS there to slide to snooze/cancel alarm so apparently it's possible, just wondering if there is something that I can do to get the SLIDE TO ANSWER function back?

Thanks and a Merry Christmas to you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] daddysays:
I wouldnt do this if I were you guys, it causes problems if you just edit the build.prop... this is bad advice unless someone knows what they are doing. Unless things have changed since I payed attention to this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoboBrazil:
Has anyone dirty flashed from mrvirginias ROM to this one? Since it uses the same base I assume it might be OK? I know wiping and doing a clean install is usually recommended, but would like to avoid that if possible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tenxo:
Caused boot loop for me when i tried. I may have just been me doing it wrong though, so now I just leave it.

Go clean just don't wipe data. All your stuff will remain as if you did a dirty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] homeislove:
Yeah the build.prop thing didn't work. Everything else is fine tho. No other problems otherwise. I can live with a few apps not working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hotbread:
Which app are you trying to install?

Also, you must reboot your phone to take effect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoboBrazil:
So i would just wipe cache and dalvik cache right? No need to do factory reset?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tenxo:
That is dirty what you just described...wipe everything EXCEPT data. Also remember if you want ultra clean wipe internal SD as well just back up anything that you don't want to lose, i.e. DCIM folder for pics and etc...

I wipe everything when I flash as I have a folder on my external SD called "internal backup" so before I wipe I just recopy the internal stuff to it...the first time takes a while but after that it flies since it only copies anything new. After clean install i just copy back the few folders that have stuff I know certain apps needs. Hope that helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
If you don't know how to edit build prop don't do it. But it's easy to do. See I changed it no problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] androidjack5:
Hi anyone can confirm if using a BT with voip (VIBER) works stream audio?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoboBrazil:
Just to let you know I just wiped cache and dalvik cache, installed this rom over mrvirginia's and all is well now! Hoping to get better battery life on this rom compared to that one. With light usage I was barely getting through a day of work on his. Tried out ktoonsez kernel on his and it became even worse compared to the stock kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tenxo:
But now you won't know if this Rom helped you with the issue or not since you dirty flashed. That's why clean flash is always recommended as issues can carry over altering your experience with this Rom.

My battery life took days to slowly improve as the kernel took some time to settle in guess to my style of usage. Media and Google services was high as well at first. In fact it still feels like it's getting better as the days go on. Good luck.

Edit: I get 20+ hours with I would say moderate usage, Wi-Fi always on, bluetooth on all day, and I use it anytime I want to without thinking about saving battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoboBrazil:
Stock kernel? If not which one? What web browser do you use? Greenify or similar apps?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] remydlc:
Hi there, to be fair you have to let it settle for over a day. I didn't think that was going to help, but it did. KT kernel for reason, even with the recommended settings, I don't get any better, never have. For me the stock kernels work best. Its probably his governor.

I'm trying Omni right now, while it's all good so far for the past 3 days, I miss Dandroid and it's awesome battery life. And with Xposed I can customize it a bit more. A restore is coming soooon!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tenxo:
Yup stock kernel as it comes. I use opera only cause I like how it reflows text after zooming. I don't use any of those battery saving apps never have. I don't even close apps just let android handle it currently. My bat life possibly would improve if I didn't do push mail for five accounts but it last long enough for me so I just leave as such. Have to give it some days to settle good then you can judge the bat life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TeethMummy:
Will I need to flash a new modem to use this Rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Yes, only if you are experiencing the network loss issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TeethMummy:
I was experiencing that with VirginRom and I don't have a computer that runs Odin so I was trying to find a good 4.4.2 Rom that didn't require a new modem. Currently running this clean 4.3 GPE Rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] phi303:
Dropbox Gallery

Ok, this is pretty specific question but it's something I've been using forever.

Before upgrading to 4.4 when I'm in goSMS and attach an image I had the option to choose from my dropbox directory; now the only options I have are Recent, Drive, Images, Downloads and Internal Storage.

I heavily rely on sending MMS from dropbox and having to export images locally is such a pain!

Any input on this would be fantastic!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] atheos777:
DD!!!

I have tried every 4.3 and 4.4.2 ROM thats out there.This is what all of them should thrive to meet or beat.Thank you for this fast,smooth,super long battery life having sweetness of a ROM!!! I always look forward to the next iteration of this,my daily driver!!! Thanks again for your hard work and the time that you sacrifice to make this ROM available to us!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] erid2thed:
Lastest Quad with this rom

also got this

100% default settings

removed mpdec and thermald binaries, and calls from ramdisk, as these features are managed at the kernel level.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jordin1128:
What are you referring to when you said calls from ramdisk?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] erid2thed:
there is code in the ramdisk files that load mpdecision and thermald as a service

unless you are running the same kernel as myself, I would advise against removing this code (and files)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
If you had network issues with Virgin ROM then it's likely that you'll have it with this one too, but again I'm not certain. You'll have to find it out yourself. Have a Nandroid backup ready in case you want to go back to your original ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dadykhoff:
Fantastic ROM, thanks! Just curious - is it safe to run Triangle Away? Also, is it possible to have the Gravity Box lockscreen torch with a pattern PIN? It currently only works with the unsecured slide setting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tenxo:
It works for me with digit pin lock screen. Holding home button for torch. I don't use pattern lock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoboBrazil:
Quick update. Used internet on my phone pretty much all day sent a few texts and made a couple of phone calls. Made it home with 50% remaining. Much better than on virginrom:)

I know its a complete longshot, but is ISIS an available option in the future? I miss my Toys R Us discounts :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] farfromovin:
Isis may be able to work but you'll need to copy a bunch of files from a regular MK2 or unmolested ML1 ROM to make it work. I just use wallet when I'm on 4.4. Read here for more good Isis info:

Don't normally write on xda anymore but I have to give props to the dev of this beauty. Been a flashaholic/small time dev since the g1 days and I have to say that this rom has done it right. No issues, fast, smooth and the battery life is unparalleled.

I just got my hands on a pebble watch and bluetooth constantly being on has run down most roms (including virgins latest) by 4-5 o'clock. But this killer has over 50% juice with my stock battery after almost 12 hours. Donation as soon as I recover from Christmas.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] clinthess:
Same as ever bro. It's recommended to reduce issues. I wrote cache/dalvik and system, keeping data intact because it's running on the same base and it's all good. No issues. But I prefer to install system fresh everytime

Modem Confusion

OK so i want to start off by saying THANK YOU! This rom is super smooth and i like it very much... I am having an issue with data drops and signal loss.

I've read up and down these posts and other posts about the correct 4.3 Modem Bin. however since the baseband thing is such a touchy subject and none of the HOW-TO's are super clear, I would like to ask a few questions.

1 is the "Work around" described in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2544612

for T-Mobile SGH-M919 or is it for the GT-I9505? The picture shows GT-I9505 and I dont want to brick my device

2) I already am running the MDL modem, do I still need to flash the MDL file that comes in the package?

3) by installing the MK2 modem, will it change my bootloader to 4.3 and enable knox?

Sorry if I sound like a newb but there are like 18 different posts with different instructions and modem.bin files. I just want to be sure to flash the correct one without locking up my phone. Thank you in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] alextop30:
I know this is a silly question but can someone please post a link to the mk2 modem that is needed because it seems like I found something that is 2.2 gigs big! Is that how big it needs to be?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chosen_on184:
yes flash the modem on that thread

Go to that thread and flash the files there. They provide instructions on just how to flash the modem

No it will not enable knox

Trust me I did it and all is well over here
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] byron1985:
If you don't mind me asking what app do you use to change DPI?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] symply:
Ok so I took your word for it, and flashed it. the baseband still says MDL. Should it have changed to MK2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] matthewdavis:
Others have reported (including me) that it can take multiple attempts before the MK2 takes. I even had success with reflashing MDL first then flashing MK2. So yes. It should say MK2 after it takes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] okcxb:
I use ROM toolbox to change my DPI.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] alextop30:
Can you please tell me what you are flashing and how you are flashing it because I am trying to update the modem and the one I have keeps failing in Odin and never actually installs?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] symply:
SCORE!! Yeah I had to flash the MDL portion before the mk2 took effect. Thanks a million! Hopefully no more data drops!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] matthewdavis:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2544612

Follow the instructions there. That's what I did. I think for me, I flashed MDL then rebooted (held all buttons to force a power down) then immediately went back into download mode to flash MK2.

Well it is still failing! Failed so many times it softbricked my phone. Restored back to original state and back to 4.2.2 rooted. I do not have knox never updated to 4.3 and I really don't understand why I cant just update the modem and get my phone working with it.

for everyone else, the qualcomm optimized dalvik and bionic binary that I have in this ROM got a spotlight on the portal yesterday http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...optimized-kitkat-dalvik-and-bionic-libraries/

pretty neat ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] matthewdavis:
Sorry to hear that. Idk what to tell you. I've seen plenty of people have failed attempts. But never a softbrick. Don't want to say it's hardware, but it's a possibility.

With my wife's phone, it seriously took about 10 tries, before (I guess) I did the sequence right.

Try flashing MDL first, power off and power back on but don't let it boot to the os, go directly back to fastboot and flash MK2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoboBrazil:
Updated to the newest version. Great rom so far. Only bug I noticed is that when you use the volume controls to lower sound it doesn't mute. The lowest is goes is to vibrate. If you mute in the control panel it works though. Also Dan is there any way to invert the contacts like you did with the text app?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
That's not a bug. Its intended to keep noobs from muting by accident. Use the powermenu or quick panel for mute

Is there a way to get HDMI mhl adapter to work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoboBrazil:
lol yeah that's what I did, I'm new to stock android so I wasn't sure if it was something that was supposed to be there or not. Stock android has a few weird things about it with that and the batter not being able to show percentage without a mod. My screen also randomly gets dimmer and brighter, but I've read that has to do with some kind of overheating protection. Only noticed it while web browsing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
I actually agree with you on the mute thing. Previous versions of this ROM and and on all other ROMs have had the ability to mute when pressing volume down all the way. Its only in the most recent ROMs that this features was removed.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] followinginsanity:
Just tested to confirm as I don't use it often. MHL to HDMI output works just fine.

Make sure you are using an 11 pin MHL adapter. Not one of the old 5 pin adapters.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Wait on a future update from google for this, video recording works perfectly fine for me in normal light, a frame drop in low light is to be expected.

everything should be working now. about to rebuild myself. you've missed a couple of things. a simple delete of keystore.msm8960.so will enable stock Kernel with security settings access and uninstalling from Play Store. we no longer need init.d to run. i personally like to keep Kernels stock as possible so the user can decide to switch to something else.

i'd read up on the complaints about "OK Google" and how to get it working. stumbled upon it looking for answers to something else haha. thank you for echoing it so i won't forget ;)
