Long time lurker, long time lover. Been on this rom since the new year, and it's my daily driver. I flash a lot, but This is the fastest, most stable kitkat rom I've been on.

Great deal thread with quick responses, and all issues fixed through the thread.

Thank you for this perfect rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] albertwesquer:
anyone help??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dannieloco:
I wonder too! Im about to install this ROM, and I'm hoping you're wrong cause I use the camera a lot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] stl-soldier:
No need to argue about what the best recovery is guys. Take that argument somewhere else. It's obvious that the stock recovery is the best recovery.

Never seen that one. Can you get into recovery? Download mode?

I managed to fix a minor cosmetic issue in MMS

@ everyone

the footer and header are in the system framework so they are not able to be themed without messing up something somewhere else but this is a huge improvement because you can actually use this menu now (for the one time you ever need it, if that)

keep in mind, we set the limit to 10,000 so this menu will never really need to be accessed but this just an example of my OCD, getting rid of the white text on a white background was a must!

enjoy, the 4.4.X mms is now complete and will be able to be baked right into all future builds :D, there is NOTHING that needs to be done to it and I honestly think it's the best invert available on kit kat

Anyone else have an unusually fast battery drain? Phones been off the charger for 2 hours and I'm already down to 62%. But i haven't been using anything... Just my alarm this morning other than that its been off...this has happened on the last 2-3 updates but never this bad. I dropped to 60% literally typing this up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] LuRock:
I've been on this ROM since day 1 and have flashed all updates, never seen a battery drain as you described. Have you wiped all and reflashed?

Have u rebooted? Theres crazy battery leak on your phone, and its probably not the ROM since others aren't reporting it. Ive been on my phone texting all morning and its gone down 8%..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] stl-soldier:
You need to install BetterBatteryStats or something similar to get more info about what is using the battery. Check SuperSU to see if something is being denied root access. Some apps will cause the screen to turn on repeatedly to ask for root access. Did you restore data from Titanium Backup? Was it data backed up from a different Android version? It could be a lot of things, but it's not the ROM itself. Sounds like an app misbehaving.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dannieloco:
Is there an app that comes with the rom that lets me change kernel settings?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goliath27:
No. You'll have to flash a kernal and use a tweaker.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] beaner14096:
Yeah I figure it must be something not cooperating...I usually just restore apps and data..but it was from 4.4.2. I think I'm gonna full charge...and see if it drains bad again. I'll just reflash
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Gage_Hero:
I backup my apps to the gmail account then just let them download when I switch roms... just make sure you have access to wifi or you will be charged for a lot of data...

Been running this with a Pebble for months. No issues at all to report. I have it working with Glance.

Hope you end up getting one. I feel naked without it now. Also it will help on the battery front since you don't have to turn on your screen to see notifications coming in anymore.

i did a backup in safe strap so i was able to recover phone but i want to flash this rom, could you guide me trough? THANKS IN ADVANCE!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dacheeze:
This ROM doesn't work with safe strap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] albertwesquer:
?'?? But they told me to install safes trap and then use recovery that safe strap installs but is not working all i get is a striped colored screen and lots of random vibrations! Could you help me installing this rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ImpheOtus:
You should take a look at these threads before you attempt to root/flash:

[GUIDE][INFO] The beginner's info thread (aka. the noob helper)

[Video Guide] How To Root Galaxy S4 I337 / I337m Easy & User Friendly

Your phone (as well as mine) is a i337m model. That's the model Telcel is distributing.

The model i337m is known in the forums and custom ROMs as jfltecan and it's the exact same model as the Canadian version.

The AT&T (i337) model is DIFFERENT, don't do anything related to that model because it's not necessary and you could end up bricking your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] albertwesquer:
I do know how to flash root and install cwm....so i am not that kind of noob, all im saying is if others with the i337m TELCEL phone successfully flash this particular rom, i can do it too right?? i just want to know how exactly they did it, THANKS FOR UR ADVICE AND QUICK RESPONSE!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ImpheOtus:
You were talking about locked bootloader (which we don't have) and installing safestrap (which you don't need) so I figured you were lost.

Sorry if I sounded condescendent, it wasn't my intention.

I flashed this ROM following the steps provided in the OP. Nothing more, nothing less.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] albertwesquer:
No problem,is no biggy..on the contrary i really appreciate you time and knowledge so i kinda understand you,so can i use any recovery including rom manager? or any cwm and then flash this rom? since i updated to official TELCEL 4.3 ROM can i go back to 4.2 or even CM11 and install recoveryes the same way that i did wen i have 4.2?? Do i need the loki-doky thing mentioned before a few posts back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ImpheOtus:
Loki-doki is only for AT&T model. You don't need it because you have the canadian model (that's why I told you which model we have)

You can install CWM using ROM Manager. You can also find it here: Clockwork Mod - ROM Manager and search for "Samsung Galaxy S4 (Canada/Bell)" in the list.

I don't know about 4.3 as I installed this ROM from Telcel's 4.2 release.

Really, all your questions are answered in both tutorials I posted for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] albertwesquer:
THANK YOU i will go and find me some specific answers on those tutorials you point me out!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jk2rd:
Hello,

I too have an i337m (Bell Canada) with stock 4.2.2 mg1 rom. I haven't done any updates yet because of KNOX. I would appreciate any help flashing this ROM (without installing or tripping Knox counter).

Thanks

Just flash it, and if you have any problems have the odin file on your computer ready to re-flash.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] aycockonxion:
Well, thank you for that most excellent news.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Gage_Hero:
In order to flash any rom, you are going to have to root and install some custom recovery...rooting I believe is going to trip knox I haven't read that there is any way around that. I can confirm that using cf root does trip knox, so if your not okay with that, best to stay on stock....unless of course you find another way to root that doesn't
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] albertwesquer:
Does anyone knows how to remove the message in the left superior corner that says:

1. RECOVERY BOOTING (in blue),

2. RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING (red)

3. Set Warranty Bit: recovery (yellow)

sometimes wen i reebot device gets stuck and i have to take the battery to make it boot, any help to solve this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mtt311:
Edit deleted
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gangsta101:
That message is your knox bootloader informing you that you are using non-samsung stuff on your phone. Blue comes on when u are booting into recovery. The red and yellow when you have got anything other than a stock kernel.

So what exactly do you want. if you wanna get rid of the message, then its not possible unless you return to stock everything. If its getting stuck while rebooting, well i guess it happens once in a while (or does it? can't remember the last time i had that. maybe you need to do a clean install or something and be careful restoring from Titanium Backup especially system data)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] albertwesquer:
THANKS i guess i better get used to it then!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Gage_Hero:
I haven't had any issues on reboot but I haven't restored anything through Titanium either.....I only use it to freeze stuff. All my apps are backed up to Google account so they just redownload (over wifi of course) if I change roms....

I hate waiting lol.. and it'd be nice to have my google apps working
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] acts4:12:
Just want to say this Rom is one of my favorite roms that I have ever flashed thus far. Gravity box and the inverted MMS/Email apps really just put the icing on the cake for me. The only "bug" I have found so far is that when someone beeps in on me during a phone conversation, instead of beeping it actually makes a sound like the phone is ringing when you call someone, which isn't a huge deal. Everything else works perfectly. Has anyone else had this same minor issue?

Both play store and gmail working here... sorry man....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] beaner14096:
had the same problem with it sticking on recovery...it could be the recovery causing this...what recovery are you running if you are on ATT I downloaded a zip for TWRP 2.5.0.2 that I flashed and havent had any problems with it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dannieloco:
Yeah I gave up and reflashed.. things are working again so now I just gotta avoid messing it up again.. 100% again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] phr0zen:
Asked this the other day and I think it fell between the cracks of everyone getting confused how to flash haha...

Either way, not relevant to this ROM (maybe?) But I was asking could/should I flash a new modem? MK2 is newest I believe, and I have about 3 bars of LTE in the area I work. Problem is my connection speed is mind numbingly slow compared to others with AT&T.

Thoughts?

Edit: Hardware is I337, ROM/kernel registers as GT-I9505G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Gage_Hero:
all i can say is I did reflash the current modem and it did make a difference..... it is not the rom itself but re-flashing did help in my case.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ben.nesheim:
After a few days of settling i can honestly say unless an update is being released. Phone has not run this well. Stock kernel stock rom with google edition launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] phr0zen:
Thanks for the quick reply. I'll try reflashing MDL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SOU55:
hi the home button and the lock button stops working at lock screen sometimes is there any work around for that ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] murray42:
I'm still on 1/11 and am loving the ROM (GEL launcher). Everything seems to work well, so waiting for another update before reflashing.

Bought Smart Remote so don't miss WatchOn but I do miss the TW camera. (not a fan of snap cam)

Thanks for great ROM.

Hi Dan.

I've been using your ROM from this thread for a couple of weeks now (I've a GT-i9505 in the UK) with no problems at all! :good:

I've only just noticed your thread here

As I'm on a GT-i9505 and using the ROM from this thread, should I flash the ROM from your other thread?

What are the differences (if any) please?

Cheers Dan.

Hi All,

Great ROM, been running it for a few days on 1337m. I have the latest modem mk6 and I installed the latest maps from the market, but I always get "waiting for location" indefinitely (location reporting is on, with or without gps). I couldnt find any other post about this in my searches on this site, any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goliath27:
I too had the same issue. Happens a couple of times when I try to reboot into recovery. Haven't figured out why yet.

I have the i337 on T-Mobile and had to enable aws for myself (you do not need to, just me). But I was on the MDL modem and was told that I could change my modem easily so I did. That made a big difference in my dropped signal problems.

From what I was told, with a newer rom you might want to try updating your modem and see if that helps. Also, check your APN settings under network, and ensure they are correct.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
This is my experience too. Choppy as well. Looks like we'll have to find ourselves another camera.

Just wanted to make you all aware of this Xposed Module. It doesnt really do much on its own except that it injects a shortcut to all your modules into the settings menu so it's easier to get to.

+1 for convenience

only problem I have with snap camera is that when I transfer the pic to my PC, sometimes I can't view the JPEG. Win7 claims the "file is empty" and the timestamp is 12/31/1969 @ 7pm

otherwise, that camera is definitely nice. the picture quality is top notch, compared to other camera apps I've tried.

Xposed installer

I have been poking around in the download section of the xposed installer and there seems to be some interesting modules in there. My question is has anyone tried any of these and are there any that should be avoided? I am guessing a nand backup would be prudent before trying some of these out..... that should take a guy back to square one without any issues right?

Meh, they really need to update the Perfect keyboard instead.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=free.inputmethod.latin.perfectkeyboard

Has the 5th row designated to punctuation instead of just numbers, with an easy to access number pad. 5th row switches to word suggestions as the cursor is still on a word, with a lot of better options.

Just wish I could figure out the lag on my keyboard (With Google or Perfect Keyboard). When I start typing in Hangouts, it will slow down for some odd reason.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dacheeze:

if you aren't rebooting, stick with this ROM

far eastern european carriers had random reboots and require the main KT kernel, if you are using that kernel then there really is no difference.

Love your Celica, nice job
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Great stuff, thanks Dan. No, not had any issues with this version of your ROM whatsoever. Absolutely first class mate! :good:

I was thinking more along the lines of CSC/APN when I saw your other thread, as when first installed your ROM from this thread a few weeks back, I had to manually enter my APN information and I assumed this was because the ROM wasn't for my specific device/region, so seeing your other thread, I was curious as to if the APN information would be there for me from the offset if I factory reset.

Perhaps when new versions of the ROM come out, I'll download your INTNL version just to be on the safe side?

Thanks Dan. I spent a good few years doing that up. Don't have it any more tho.....family grew too large! :o

Find "Xposed Installer" in the app drawer -> Framework -> Install/Update -> Reboot

Again go to "Xposed Installer" -> Modules -> Activate the modules you want -> Reboot

Now "GravityBox" should appear in the app drawer.
