Stable

Rom is stable for me so will become daily driver, used till battery died and spent 2 hours on a phone call without reboot. MKE baseband and faux r2 kernel

MJ5 baseband was causing me reboots and network loss...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chand4u76:
can anyone confirm if WIFI speeds are fine ? I get slow speeds on wifi (checked through speedtest). I am on v3 , R2.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] libb:
Seems OK but although all seems enabled sometimes (often) no internet connection. Wi-fi enabled and connected, mobile data enabled but applications have no internet access. v4.0, KME baseband.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] vamvax:
one questions for this rom, do i have to root and install custom recovery before flashing it, or would the unrooted phone and stock recovery do the trick?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] djpharoah:
You should probably do a lot more reading before trying anything based on your question. But to answer your question you will need to install a custom recovery which you would need root for on your current stock ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaGii:
So much useless and unnecessary questions in this threads....

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] NemoKOF:
Thats EXACTLY what I meant. If that was stated earlier it would help a lot. Also - some baseband don't work on 4.3 some don't work on 4.4. If we know that certain baseband WORKS WELL - why not write it in the first post? I didn't ask those things, I read but it will be very proper to post those infos in first post.

i'm using v4 and at this moment (12hr use) and no reboot. My modem is I9505VJUEMK8 (ZTO BRAZIL). LTE work's fine, H is HSPA and HSPA+.

Fantastic work jamal. Congratulations.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TJ!:
I have seen no activity from the developer regarding the bugs being reported since the release of 3.0 aside from the ART issue.

Add to this that the first post states:

It really should not come as a surprise that people are reporting their issues.

While the random reboots now are nearly gone, they are still occurring from time to time on a much larger scale. That's a bug/issue that has not been acknowledged.

Many of the questions however could easily be listed in the FAQ, since they obviously are very frequently asked, like ART not working due to xposed, network/signal issues due to old baseband and so forth. Up to date FAQ would at least cut down some of the spam. At the same time I more than understand that Jamal has other things to tend to as well, but until he updates the FAQ, people will not read 250 pages (and people in general appears to not understand how to search) and jump to the last page and ask their question. Especially if it is not answered in the last few posts.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] keynex:
I have random reboots too.. something isn't ok! Hope we can expect a fix as soon as possible.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dontpannic:
All I've seen is 'got two reboots' or 'got loads of reboots'.

Guess what? The developer can't work with that sort of information. Maybe he'll get a chance to look at it if he knows what he's looking for!

Has anyone given him logs, circumstances, version numbers regarding the issues? All I'm seeing here is people posting and *****ing about it. Post up something will actually help diagnose these issues rather than having a pop at the devs who have worked hard to bring the software across.

For me, MJ5 modem, non-Knox bootloader, the ROM is fantastic. Great battery life, no reboots, no crashes, no bugs. If that isn't the same for other people, start giving some log files or research to trace the issue!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] skorzo:
There are logs in this mess of thread, and there are logs too in the Kernel's threads.

The thing is that V4 Rom really has bugs. It has several bugs. Jamal did a great work, thats ok and everybody knows, but updating the OP would help A LOT . May be people would quit *****ing about reboots and bugs, because officially the developer is saying that V4 is 100% bugfree and that is not true at all.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fahadali2315:
You want Dev to create the rom which takes ages :P create the thread and than make changes on daily basis yeahhhh because he doesnt have a life right ?? :P
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Alucard291:
He could just be honest that would be cool too :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TJ!:
Some of us post the circumstances surrounding it, and I for one would prefer that people post stating they have reboots than the developer assuming there are no reboot issues. Again, he has not acknowledged that there are any issues with his ROM past 3.0/4.0 regarding reboots.

The FAQ should list the steps people need to take in order to post the correct logs as the instructions are buried somewhere in this monster thread.

I have seen no *****ing, aside from people whining about people posting their issues. I think some people need to stop reading every post where people has issues as a whine/*****ing. I've seen less than a handful of people who have actually been disrespectful and *****ing in the past few hundred pages of the thread. Just because someone posts "I'm having reboots" it does not equate to "taking a pop at the devs".

If the FAQ contained information pointing people to instructions on how to extract the correct relevant logs, I'm sure the amount of useful information would go up. You cannot expect the average user to just know. I still think it is useful to gauge how widespread the issue is, even if they give no information to help track the issue down.

The low number of reports of random reboots suggests the 3.0/4.0 release is pretty damn stable. But some reboots are still happening, and yes I will be providing logs when it happens again. As I posted earlier I have only seen 2 reboots in fairly short succession in a now 48 hour span. I could not find any logs dating to before the crash, but then again I'm no expert and might have been looking in the wrong places.

In any case, people getting defensive and becoming upset on behalf of the developer as they see everything as an attack when people are reporting issues not covered in the OP or the FAQ is really not helping anyone
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fahadali2315:
Well he didnt make a perfect ROM :) but thats what threads are about to find bugs report and make it a better daily ROM :) Isnt that the purpose ???
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Alucard291:
That was kind-of my point. He didn't yet he said he did :)

(Well to be precise he just copy-pasted his own op from 4.3 but yeah :P)

Besides I'm starting to sound like I'm complaining. I'm not I'm cool with a reboot every X hours (where in my case X > 10) and frankly it will get ironed out one way or another. The thread however... DOES need a clean up.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SuperKrog:
another thing to change in the OP/FAQ

it says the kernel is stock, but not it is faux... am I right?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] punchpunch:

Do I need to update my radios/modems for this to work properly? I have had a lot of issues.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kenshi08:
Well, for a start you should upgrade to at least a MKE level modem..and pick a kernel that is working for 4.4 (in v4, faux123's 4.4 kernel is already part of the rom). That's what works for me, had zero issues.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gtaguitar7596:
How can I find out what modem I have? And I'm on T-Mobile and it just doesn't want to play nice with any 4.4 ROM at the moment. I was using Jamal's 4.3 ROM with no issues but when I got to this ROM my phone became stupid.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kenshi08:
Well, You can go to About Phone -> and look at baseband, this should give you a clue to what baseband you are on. Or you can use http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ to grab out what is the latest firmware available for your phone based on model, location and operator.

One thing that is bugging me and i don't recall it being from the begining: the status bar normally is transparent but when i exit an app or release the notification bar, the bar is black and after ~1 sec becomes transparent again. It's not really a problem but it's an eye sore, for me at least. Is there something i can do to make the status bar permanently transparent ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FruityTen:
Hello,

Firstly thanks for the great rom, its mainly very smooth and lag free and I love it.

However I am experiencing from random reboots. Each time its happened the phone has been on standby on the side and I just notice the Samsung boot logo come up. I only installed the rom last night and its happened 3 times.

No other issues. I hope people can give me any advice from my device details below:

Baseband: I9505XXUEMJ7

Kernel: 3.4.0-faux123-KK44-GE

Build: KRT16S.S005.131116

I'm on EE in the UK. I'm no expert so any advice would be much appreciated! Any more details I can provide to help just let me know.

Thanks

Everything is GREAT! Working without a problem on M919. Only thing I'm not sure about is the toast colors. Is this standard color of toasts for the Google Edition phones? I bought my wife the N5 and it still has the darker grey toasts. Not to say I don't like the color, but I did a minor framework-res.apk tweek to get transparent nav and status bars on lockscreen and thought maybe I had caused the color change somehow, Everyone else have these colors?

Hmmm....I might try to start from scratch and figure out what happened. I have a feeling it might have something to do with Xposed. I tried to use it with gravity box, but didn't like the way it was working so I just made my own tweeks. I can't imagine what I could have done. I didn't change any color values! I kinda like the color though. It goes well with the lighter theme of KK. It just looks funky anytime an app has a pop up, as the border is this light grey and the body of the pop up is the dark grey.

V4 - Much better - Still Reboots

V4 is significantly better than V2 (which I first used). I still have random reboots, but it's down to maybe 4-6 a day rather than every 5 minutes like it was previously.

Not sure which logs I could give you to provide better feedback, but I can confirm that the random reboots occur on KitKat rom floating about on these forums as well, so I dont' think it's specific to this rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Vorshim92:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] yeahmann:
I guess this is as good a place as any to post this. Downgrading to 4.3 completely disables mobile networks. Since it still works on 4.4, I don't think it's an EFS problem. I think it's a SIM problem. If I remember correctly, I had a SIM password on 4.3. I flashed 4.4 and disabled the SIM password. Now, regardless of whether or not I set a SIM password in 4.4, I get no SIM password request in 4.3 and no mobile networks. Any ideas on how to solve this?

2 days no reboot and first battery cycle complete so battery life has improved. Ktoonez is working on a stable kernel but I believe the reboots aren't isolated to just kernel but a baseband and driver issue combination. MKE seems to be compatible with my network in the UK

Not for me, I am experiencing no difference between this and 4.3. You need to see what is causing the battery drain, perhaps a dirty flash?

I can point out that MK9 started off stable. As of a couple hours ago however the damn thing decided that "stability no more!" and went into a cycle of random reboots (like literally every 10 mins). Lets see if MKE is better :) If not then its obviously something else ^^

Be sure busybox is installed already.

Open terminal Emulator

once opened, type the commands below.

SU

CD storage/extSdCard/installer

PM INSTALL "name of your app.apk"
