No reboots here too since new Faux kernel v2 :good:

Only the annoying "gallery-can't-delete-pictures"-issue. Seems there's no fix so far...?

As far as I can remember, this issue is since v1 - I tried v3, v5 now, and deleting isn't possible.

The pictures reappear after a reboot.

I flashed now GE 4.2.2 (4.3 crashes for several games, so not stable for me) and everythings fine.

So it's an issue with this ROM here. :confused:

UPDATE 1: Looks like the gallery only deletes the thumbnails. After a reboot it rescans and the pictures are here again :p

UPDATE 2: Looks like it only appears for pictures saved to microSD - pictures taken and stored on internal memory can be deleted and stay deleted. Perhaps a permission thing?!

Hi, I see that it's pretty popular ROM. Currently I'm on stock samsung 4.3 ROM. I have KNOX bootloader (0x0 at the moment) and I would like to install 4.4 and root my device. I know that it will trip knox flag and my warranty will be lost but I don't care. I'm here to ask if anyone with knox in his phone have installed this rom?

Does this rom work exactly the same for knoxed devices and knox-free ones?

This rom is Perfect now, even the deleted images dont come back after reboot. I deleted them from gallery and I am using pictures2sd. They was coming back some days ago but not anymore:good:

Thanx Jamal for this great rom I have nothing bad to say about this rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] manicmanos:
I installed this ROM , coming from Knox 0x0 and latest 4.3 touchwiz. Everything worked OK for the most part. The only problems I had, were the random reboots, 3 or 4 a day, and the quality of the camera. The Samsung app takes far better pictures. But this ROM is super fast and smooth.

If you don't mind the occasional reboots, and the camera then it is a very good ROM. You could also try cm, it is almost as fast and smooth and rock solid!!!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] astuermer:
You deleted them with the Gallery app or with a file explorer "from gallery"?

It doesn't matter when I reboot - deleted pictures come back after every reboot.

They came back after reboot even

on a completely fresh setup

with no other apps installed (with factory reset) of v3, v5 and v6 (don't tried the other versions).

What did you do to delete them permanently?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] N!KE26:
I just tried again. If you delet pictures from gallery going via the gallery app and delet pictures they come back. But if you go to the gallery from the camera (by swipeing right to left) and delet pictures they will not come back.

I think people are complaining as they don't see much USEFUL info in more than 350 pages.

Instead of start a rant, would be more practical to teach people how to get such logs. This isn't a DEV thread so we have common people over here. I clearly remember pages ago people asking how to help with logs. Even me didn't know how to help until you appear and point it out, so thanks anyway.

Here's my contribution. People suffering from random reboots take a look on this thread, specially on the command bellow to know how to get the aforementioned log through adb:

adb shell su -c "cat /proc/last_kmsg" > last_kmsg.log

Google Now?

Hi,

I am running v6 and it is great, couple of reboots but nothing that makes me want to change.

I have one issue though, my "Google Now" does not work. I can press the mic button, say a command, and it tells me to turn on Google now. I look in the settings and I don't have an option to turn it on. Anyone else with this issue?

Regards

After checking some of the logs posted in this thread and my own logs, I found that most(though not all) of the crashed last_kmsg ends with:

PM: Device alarm failed to suspend: error -16

PM: Some devices failed to suspend

or

dpm_run_callback(): platform_pm_suspend+0x0/0x5c returns -16

PM: Device msm_sdcc.1 failed to suspend: error -16

PM: Some devices failed to suspend

and for those exceptions, these lines are found not far from the end.

Just curious to know if this has something to do with our random reboots.

I tried to run V6 for a couple of hours, no reboots for me too. But I stayed with CM11 because, well, if other people still have reboots, I'm still kinda skeptical about the ROM. But I like it.

Found the answer elsewhere:

1. uninstall using titanium backup the google search that comes with android 4.4

4.3 was rock stable

currently not using 4.4 at all since I don't want to see at least one reboot

tried it (think it was v3) and my reports were ok with not a reboot but hated the s-view cover not working properly so moved back to a stock based rom

what can I say... am addicted to the cover :P

This rom with 3D launcher is great!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] exxi:
Guys I think the reboot issue is being dramatized here. I'm working with the Rom for 2 weeks now. It's my daily Rom and I am having maybe 1 or 2 reboots a day. Mostly when the phone is idle. On the up side the Rom is the fastest I've ever had. It's smooth, battery life is okay and all apps work wonderfully.

It's a keeper for me especially because for my feeling it's twice as fast as any 4.3 Rom out there.

Is say go for it

Has somebody tested this Kernel on Jamal V6 Rom?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] yankoscage:
Unfortunatelly I'm giving up on this rom for now. I installed Echoe's ROM v1.2 yesterday and must say it's waaaaay faster and stable. No FCs, no reboots, battery lasts 24h, no relevant stuff on logs. The only downside: it comes with a lot of crapware you have to remove.

I honestly hope Jamal get into this rom. I loved the experience of v5, but since v6 and the apparent lack of consistency of this thread (sorry but I must say we have about 3000 posts full of "guesses" and complains) this rom is not more eyecandy to me.

Also it has a long time Jamal doesn't post anything. I see a lot of people trying to help but he, the developer, is not giving proper attention on these claims.

I don't mean Jamal has to be active all the time, but doesn't cost anything to show up sometimes and say: "hey guys, I'm working on it" or "guys, please send me this and that". His last post, from 3 days ago, is confuse and I really couldn't figure out what exactly he needs...

Man there is no problem in the rom! We have problems with kernels and maybe modems but not the rom so he doesn't have to do anything! If I were jamal I also wouldn't post here anything if all the idiots would spam my thread with the same crap again, which would belong to kernel threads. What the devs do need to help is obvious. Logs! But all the people are too lazy to grab one or Google how to do it. Posting "I have reboots" is just way more easy than read some pages back, use search or try to help with logs.

And then you wonder why he isn't active here anymore....

Echoe's ROM is not a google edtion, I just googled. That rom is based on touchwiz. So it's really not an alternative to jamal's one. If someone wants touchwiz this is really the wrong place.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] yankoscage:
So you're saying Jamal is giving up on this too?

Man, respectly, I disagree. If I were a DEV needing help, I would turn this thread into a dev thread to keep the common users (idiots you name) away from spamming. Second, as this isn't a dev thread and there's no moderation, instead of rant people I'd preffer to inform them on how to help me (as I already did). Call them as you want but don't forget someday you were a noobie too. ;)

As for the origin of boots, a DEV is responsible of everything he puts on a ROM. If the parts doesn't fit right I still responsible for what I've created. This is MY point of view.

All I'm asking for is Jamal be more clear on what he needs and perhaps some moderation on this thread to keep spammers away.

Yes I were a noob but I read before doing something and ending up with a non working phone. All the little problems had been resolved and the solutions were posted dozens of times.

Well then show us a kernel that works without problems. You know what? We don't have one so there wouldn't be any rom. There wouldn't be any rom at all on xda.

And again: Jamal doesn't need anything, we have kernel problems!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] yankoscage:
You don't need to be sarcastic to disagree. Sarcasm is the argument of despair. ;)

And you're wrong. Echoe (I9505GUEUCMKG) is based on Open Source Samsung's Kernel for GE, so both ROMS are in essence GE no TW there. I think you need to improve you skills on Google search, stop ranting and contribute to this thread with some logs of your mentioned random boots.

All ge Roms are based on tw. That's why they are all about 400mb in size, also jamals.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SuperKrog:
i see that this echoe is full of "features"

these features are mods and changes over the original rom. So that's still WAY different on the approach of jamal's rom that is a PURE google experience with no add and no mods.

IR transmitter

Well, as predicted the IR is not working on this Rom.

And it can't be a 4.4 issue/bug because this is what Google replies:

Infrared transmitters

When running on a device that includes an infrared (IR) transmitter, you can now transmit IR signals using the ConsumerIrManager APIs. To get an instance of ConsumerIrManager, call getSystemService() with CONSUMER_IR_SERVICE as the argument. You can then query the device's supported IR frequencies with getCarrierFrequencies() and transmit signals by passing your desired frequency and signal pattern with transmit().

You should always first check whether a device includes an IR transmitter by calling hasIrEmitter(), but if your app is compatible only with devices that do have one, you should include a <uses-feature> element in your manifest for "android.hardware.consumerir" (FEATURE_CONSUMER_IR)

Any Ideas?

it will shrink everything... then you can use large fonts and (if using nova like me) big icons. The advantage is that many app looks more gorgeous and some other little nice stuff (dashclock always expanded in lockscreen also if pattern is present... no need to expand it).
