Great job Jamal!

And also the reception problem... Have to set it to 2G in order to have bars showing...

(Also, the phone just rebooted while charging)

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
Jamal, flash kangakat in the i9505 section and see if his build is rebooting

this so strange

also you're updater script sure symlinks quite a bit, what is all that for? are you using dsixda kitchen?

what method did you use to fix the external sd card write problem? I simply added the line into the platform file in privacy, I double checked and it seems you didn't use this method

(just so you know this method was a offical commit in CM for KK devices with ext storage)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jamal2367:
here my updater-script can you show this

no i using never dsixda kitchen ....i using dsixda when i signed my roms more not without updater-script changes ;)

Flashing

Ok I must say that I am enjoying version 2 with Ktoonez kernel, all works fine and no reboots. Been testing for 7 hours now on my I9505 on baseband MJ5... No reboots while charging and i'm on the old bootloader. Rom is snappy and smooth, here are my flashing instructions:

1. Boot into recovery

2. factory reset

3 wipe cache

4. wipe dalvik

5. mount system

6. format system (IMPORTANT)

7. flash version 2

8. flash ktoonez kernel

9. reboot

* MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE MJ5 MODEM/BASEBAND
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
so new bootloader with knox = reboots is what I'm starting to get at

First of all: Jamal thank you for your hard work and this great rom :good:

I am experiencing FCs on Google Play Music. Even if it isn't started, when I am just scrolling through my homescreens.

Funny thing: Even if I deinst. it with Titanium, it still shows up after a reboot :eek:

Anybody similar problems?

Happened right after a clean install, hadn't done any configuration yet...

Stable Phone with the latest greatest

How I got a stable phone.

Most of us have been trying different roms and thinking that a full wipe and flash is enough. It is on some other roms for stability but Omega and now Jamal's 4.4 whilst arguably being the most advanced are a bit more finicky and really you need to update the modem, and boot loader to the latest or close to latest at least. In the below instructions we use the term settle is use and that just means give it time for a full boot and writing everything necessary for a full clean install before you move onto the next step. Many think this is clear but for newer people this is not clear. I did many full wipes with in recovery but still did not have a stable phone.

Jamal gives you the latest rom but does NOT update your modem, baseband or boot loader! J8 works great J9 is good but the modem blows.

Register at http://www.sammobile.com

Download Stock Samsung 4.3 J8 Romania (Orange) from the below link

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=21318

or go I9505XXUEMJ9

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=21684

Unzip it to reveal .tar.gz format compatible with installing via Odin

Don’t worry it’s Romanian or German you just want the latest matching modern, baseband you can spec English when you load it up to test this rom on its own & leave the stock software have time to settle.

It gives you an Antutu benchmark of 28.8k as does Omega V16, Amazingly this 4.4 KitKat only gived 25.7k benchmark but probably with less memory overhead as KitKat is designed to run very efficiently on low end device (not just good on high end like S4 and Nexus 5)

I am pretty sure the contained latest modem, baseband & boot loader will work well anywhere in the world but can 100% say it’s super sweet in Australia on Telstra

Flash from ODIN Samsung Romania 4.3 or German for the latest I9505XXUEMJ9

Boot the phone and let it settle down for a few minutes...

Boot into recovery, wipe data

Boot again and let it settle again

Now flash from Odin latest Philz recovery 6

After flashing, reboot in recovery and reboot into ROM.... settle again...

Boot into recovery and flash Omega with a full wipe....

Be Aware flashing 4.3 stock will flag 0x1 your knox warranty (ATM for sure warranty void in US, in Western Europe & Australia you are legally cool ) and could break your root but that is easily re rooted within your recovery.

Very stable phone internet apps & super fast with only one issue I have not had time to sort even with US English selected the "OK Google" voice command isn't working yet

I ended up with the latest greatest S4 :good:

with:

Boot loader I9505XXUEMJ8

Modem I9505XXUEMJ8

Baseband I9505XXUEMJ8

Kernel version 3.4.70 ktoonsez

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] djsky2011:
For our device and kitkat, seems as if the H and H+ icons have been removed, however they still work
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] disler:
Those are my logs straight after a reboot caused by being on charge. The biggest issues I had were the device was coming out of sleep while charging (extremely slow response) and random reboots while charging. Off charge, the ROM ran like a dream.

FWIW, I flashed the latest Kangakat about 2 hours ago, not experiencing any of the above symptoms with that ROM.

Also, I'm running old bootloader and J5 baseband.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
The whole ROM refers to H+ H as 3g in system > more

I think this was intended because H and H+ is 3g

Lets try to make a list so we can help the devs, copy and paste this post and list your device model - baseband - old/knox bootloader - flashing method - reboot trigger (plugged in charger/making a phone call/etc.) and other details that could help.

01. GT-i9505 - XXUEMJ5 - old bootloader - complete wipe/format/ROM/SU/cache/dalvik - reboots when phone sleeps and plugging in charger for 5 mins, but i could make calls without reboots.

Temp solution against the reboot

I had the same issu with random reboot, and I noticed that after having used and paused app tunein, the phone will no reboot more. There tunein icon remains in the status bar time but it is the only downside, the battery is not impacted. No reboot for 3 days (I used version 1 also). When I close tunein the reboot issue back. I do not see the link beetween tunein and reboot but the solution works.

Someone can test for him also ?

Getting reboots while phone is charging or idling, otherwise everything seems to be working.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] djsky2011:
I am convinced the reboots aren't bootloader related. Looking at the logs posted by someone, it seems the device ran out of memory from the countless errors shutting down the VM

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] djsky2011:
I did my wipe MANUALLY through CWM, maybe we can narrow the problem down. Your ROM works fine but the recovery and flashing method could be key to solving this problem. I am overclocked at the moment with fiops scheduler.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gboniel:
I like where you are going with this. I also flashed using philz. Currently testing kangakat and if it still reboots, I'll use the original cwm recovery then test all over again.

Update: whether using the phone or not it reboots at around 45-47 minutes while charging.

Reboot once again into Download Mode using (Vol Down plus Home button combi)

Flash Modem once more

Once done,unplug then reboot device manually.

If this doesn't work, try repeating the flash process again while rebooting manually and with auto-reboot option turned off.
