As it happened with the first release (the good one) this one you just uploaded hangs on samsung logo with the blue led flashing. The 2nd release, the one that was not booting would at least pass the samsung logo. What is wrong with my phone, i'm not doing anything different on flashing so i can't understand what the problem is... any ideas ?

le: there is one thing i noiced ... after i flash a zip that won't pass the samsung logo, twrp will always say that the phone is not rooted and if i want to flash su. If it doesn't ask me that at the end it will pass the samsung logo 100% and will either hang on kitkat logo or boot if the rom is ok.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
Use twrp latest if that doesn't do it use Odin and flash to stock latest and wipe in stock recovery, then try again with a clean phone

Yea it will
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] GhostiNv:
I'm on twrp 2.7.0.1. It's the latest.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sys18_2000:
Thanks a lot, job well done man....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] GhostiNv:
For some reason it seems to flash it very fast as in 5 sec or so which i find it a bit too fast. I think it doesn't flash it at all. Now if that's the case how to solve it ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ryu2964:
report,the latest rom can't use 5g wifi, can't find the SSID. but it can show the 2.4g's ssid.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hasselol:
Thank you for dedication put into this rom I'm really impressed, and really a blast using this comparing to modified touchwiz roms. Best one i've tried so far!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* I assume HDR touch focus does not work yet (someone earlier stated this) - Is this ROM related or Samsung related?

This isnt a big problem since you can just disable HDR > Focus > Enable HDR > Take picture. (For anyone wondering)

* Also, When connecting Bluetooth to a handsfree and only enabling telephone sound but disabeling media sound, it still streams media through Bluetooth.

And when streaming from my car it allways glitches for 1 sec once, and only once per session. So if i stream for hours it glitches for 1 sec after 1 min then never glitches till next time i enter the car. Maybe this has with the phone trying deep sleep and the governor adapting to stream. But this is not an issue (for me atleast), just a note.

* Movie Studio FCs when trying to add sound to an projekt. But i don't use it so no problem for me.

Apollo music player (Or any "local music player") takes priority when connecting to bluetooth and start playing instead of Spotify, which i used last. Basically I connect to car > Music starts playing from Apollo, but last player i used was Spotify, so it should be Connect to car > Spotify starts. This has been the same on any rom i've tried so just asking if anyone have a general tip for solving this.

And is there any Call recording mod available for this (maybe any AOSP) ROM?

This is based on 4.4.2 so questions are if they are fixed in 4.4.3 or fixable. But as we can see, the ROM is rock solid. And another thing, I've never had such good battery life before as i've had with this one (Only been on TW roms earlier) :good:

No luck, flashed stock recovery, wiped, flashed twrp 2.7.0.1 and same effect. Can't understand what the problem is. As i said earlier it doesn't seem to actually flash the zip... starts flashing and in 5 sec is successful. The bad zip took more to flash. The only rom that works is echoe 4.4.2 v2.2 on which i was till now since i couldn't get others to work, but your rom seems to be the best one and i want to make it work :D

Try Installing PhilZ Touch 6 or later from your current recovery. Then Install this AWESOME ROM - I cannot see it failing if you follow them steps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] GhostiNv:
The first 4.4.3 zip, i installed with philz touch 6 and didn't work so i flashed twrp but with same result, so the problem is not the recovery :(

gonna go and post in help thread...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] youngwake:
That's strange...which S4 variant do you have and model? Let's get you flashing!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] -sandro-:
I took the liberty of uploading the latest ROM here http://www.livewinter.com/mirror/ if someone finds androidfilehost slow (I do sometimes)...plus I have plenty of bandwidth.

It's a Galaxy S4 i9505 16gb with old 4.2.2 bootloader, haven't upgraded to 4.3 stock since i didn't want KNOX.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] N3ptuNe:
Maybe flash back to stock with Oden then flash Philz recovery & so forth

(sometimes starting from the beginning again resolves most incidents)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jatar:
I have got old bootloader and no problem. Only can be two options, one the recovery, I use twrp 2.7.0.1, the other your download file is not complete.

So download again, and try with twrp

Sorry for my english

Thanks Danvdh for the rom, it runs very well, only my problem with national roaming and I can´t use ART

Thanks

Anyone tried to dirty flash over 4.4.2?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] youngwake:
Perhaps your downloaded file maybe...just maybe corrupt. If you've re-downloaded to no avail, try Using a 2.6 TWRP

I wonder if it has something to do with 4.4.3 itself and the 4.2.2 bootloader. Obviously you can flash GE 4.3 and 4.4.2 with your current recovery right? but 4.4.3 fails? if this is the case, I think your downloaded file maybe corrupted! re-download mate

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] GhostiNv:
The file is not the problem, checked md5 and was the same. The recovery is not the problem. Thing is the only roms that get passed the samsung logo on my phone are the 2nd 4.4.3 rom from Danvdh, the one that was not booting (remained stuck on kitkat logo) and Echoe 4.4.2 v1.x v2.x that boot up and work. Others have 4.2.2 bootloader so that is not the problem either. The only thing that maybe has something to do with my problem is that after i installed first 4.4 rom i had to update the baseband to not loose reception and well it failed in odin and it softbricked my phone (not even recovery mode was working, only download mode and w/e i tried to flash it would say there is no PIT partition). I managed to unbrick it by flashing the pit file alone and then flashed recovery and then flashed other modem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
flash an entire new firmware package via odin?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] youngwake:
Good to hear you fixed the softbrick. If you are still having issues, try this....install the 4.4.3 rom, but before booting into the system itself, do a factory reset from recovery..that should get you rolling.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DerDicke2002:

Nope this ROM shows h and won't effect gravitybox out of the box. No need for a zip

Also to those wondering what ROM to flash. This one comes with an unreleased 06/05 kernel ;) no other gpe should have it without kt permission. Its specific to 4.4.3

If the zip flashed successfully, do a factory reset within the recovery and then boot. It will boot!

Finally i managed to flash your zip and make it boot. No idea why this worked. I checked out your zip and other roms to see differences and the only one i found was "check_data_app", and well i have no idea what it does but i just removed it from the zip. It now took more time to flash (20 sec or so) and it works like a charm. Thanks a lot everybody for the help and Danvdh for the awesome rom.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] johannes140:
Dan, you can also fix this issue by changing the following line in your updater script:

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p16", "0");

to

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "0", "/system");

Then this is also flashable with newer CWM recoveries ;)

keep up the hard work!

Yep I like the support you give you're userbase. I just ship with ktoonsez because he is the man, we are close friends and develop together.

However I have a question -

When I talk on the phone, people say i'm really low & they almost can't hear me (this is with their's sound on full volume). Is there somehow I can boost the microphone in my S4?

Btw I like what you are doing, so have a beer on me & try to relax the next couple of hours. ;) #63B47007T8250062F
