[MENTION=4401403]friedrich420[/MENTION] Keep up the good work, for every 1 hater there is no doubt 5 people who enjoy your work and effort and there experience with there phone is improved because of it. Thank You for all your time!

Rom is so fast and loads within 30seconds, I have not had any FC or RR.

I have come from the Omega ROMs. I did a full wipe/clean system, formatted internal SD and cleared all the caches. I followed your instruction to the letter and flashed 2.2 yesterday, I left it to settle for 10mins before adding any info or pressing any buttons, I added GmailAccount and the play store is working fine, I rebooted to a stunning looking ROM but.....

I tried to restore data using Titanium backup but it says "Sorry I could not acquire root privileges" ("/system/bin/su"), I then check to see if Superuser was present, it was but came up with an error about SU binary not being present. I then (maybe the wrong move) tried to re-root the device using Odin and CF-AutoRoot, all went well and said it had completed but then Superuser was missing, I installed SU from play store but its not doing anything and I can not update it via the SU app (update binary). Any ideas on what went wrong or what I can do to get back root permissions?

If I go to Gravity [kk] it says "GravityBox system framework not responding. Exiting.", I have searched this thread for answers and can not find them, I have followed the FAQ also for rooting but no luck...

I redownloaded the ROM, followed the instructions again and reflashed....same result

So the problem I have basicly is..

1. I don't seem to have root

Baseband - I9505XXUEMJ5

Kernal - 3.4.75--KT

I hope someone can help and that I have added all the info needed, I must be missing something obvious, please let me know if you want to know more
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] vladimir_carlan:
First of all you need to install/update the framework inside xposed installer application. Check if GravityBox module its activated then reboot.

If you lost your root go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 download the flashable zip and flash trough your recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Thank you my friend :)

Have you tried just flashing suspersu v1.86 from recovery?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iamsmallpang:
Just flashed the latest version Echo 4.4.2,then I flashed killjoy stable 4 tweak,so far my impression is smooth.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jab1a:
Thank you for your fast reply ;)

Also thank you for your fast support, I knew it would be something simple. I flashed the 1.86, reset and left for 5mins, I now have ROOT and any requests are working. Xposed did not work before this as it needed to request root permissions, all works AOK now.

Great work and support again, Thank you

Hi i cant seem to download from site? any help much appreciated. Thanks JC
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
My friend do you mean things from the kitchen or Roms?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ciphernoelie:
Thanks for replying guys. I'm afraid the app is always 'offered' every time I land on echoerom.com - it redirects to:

http://echoerom.com/?wiziapp/intropage/screen&device=android&update-application=0

I've tried four different browsers and it happens every time. The page/app gives the impression that it's a better way of staying up to date (hence the reason I installed it).

I don't appreciate some people name calling when there appears to be a seriously dangerous app being offered and the impression it gives is that it's from you guys and is a better way to get your ROMs and stay up to date.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Im blown away...

If thats the case then thats warez and you should report it on XDA... Im really serious about it...

We are dangerous and we maybe even stealing your identities...

I dont know what to say anymore...

I really dont..

I have been accussed of so many things here on XDA.... My question is: Why????

Can someone tell me?? How did anything we offered harm you in any way?? Can you please explain it, and document it please??

How did we harm anyone in any way with anything we are offering??? (key word: OFFERING..)...

Me name calling you??? I just used your expression "CRAP" and i was referring to my creations... So i was name calling myself... You however used the word crap referring to other people's stuff... Im glad you quoted me so at least we can see about the name calling...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] JCobra72:
it was the 2.2 kitkat i couldnt download but i have managed it now thank you so much, about to go and flash it thanks friedrich. JC
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ciphernoelie:
I've been polite Friedrich. I didn't personally accuse you guys of trying to install warez. Read back over what I said. The word 'offered' is widely used in this context. Websites 'offer' content/extras/enhancements/alternatives (mobile/desktop etc).

You're being very immature. I've alerted you to what may be a hijack on your website - if the app is not from you guys you should be thanking me for alerting you - not responding with sarcastic, childish comments.

BTW I'm using xad, AdAway, AdBlock Edge and XPrivacy - the 'offer' still appears.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tinuz97:
Works pretty good kitkat version here, no bugs for me so far.

Only issue i have is bad wifi reception, i am on radio MJ5, maybey i need to upgrade that to improve reception for wifi? (with android 4.3 my reception is good)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
People say that MKE seems to be the best modem atm...

However, im on MH8 (yep... 4.2.2. modem b/c i dont have LTE in the ****hole i leave and 3g is so expensive i rarely use it...) and my wifi reception is incredible!!

Maybe a reflash?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tinuz97:
Going to try MKE, thx for the tip!

Did clean install (wiped everything in philz recovery, including clean for installing new rom option)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] skorzo:
Anyone please? :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
My friend i havent thats why im not responding...

Maybe other users will jump in...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bennetski:
Just noticed this issue too. I'm on latest MKF modem. Without a doubt it is giving me the best phone signal I have had so far BUT my WiFi speed is awful. My laptop is showing 30mbps but my phone is barely getting 4 Mbps. Ive tried changing settings in advanced but can't improve it ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Grusburk:
is there an mod for this build for "back to kill" I cant live without it ;(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kaltuzak:
Hey Friedrich! Nice job again. Few days back I was testing gummy version of kit kat, up to now it was the best I've found, but could keep it becausa there wasn't support for 64gb cards. Testing yours worked perfectly. I miss 3 way reboot and call rec. I know gummy version already implement 3way, maybe you can have a chat with the developer.

Again nice job, I'll keep testing.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
posted in the 4.3 thread by accident, useful information for people here:

you can get battery stats working through a module in xposed. 4 way reboot and screenshot on power button all available in there too.

'advanced power menu [7.0a]'

'Enable BatteryStats Permission'

still having trouble with media playback and software decoded files, no solution yet.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mrclaver:
What's the difference between Full and Slim?

:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
less apps, wallpapers, themes, etc by default.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bennetski:
Following on about the WiFi issue. Just done cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe and it seems to have solved it. I'll keep my eye on it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
cool :) b/c i ran a speedtest when i saw your post and mine reaches close to its max (i get 1.7 mb/s whereas my max is 2 mb/s)...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
can i ask to be spoonfed b/c i think there are a couple with that name? can you give us the link :)

about the media issues have you tried any of the other 4.4 GE roms? i think they are odexed but still... to see if its something generalized or just with our rom...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Vihru:
where is that screen slide lock? or that i dont want any screen lock at all? :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] GhostiNv:
I have tried and i have no problems with video playback on your rom(mp4, avi, mkv) from sd or via network. Mx player works ok except for the h/w decoder which triggers a fc. I've tried an other rom and didn't have media playback problems with that either.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] NiXiNiX:
Looked like a very nice ROM, but my phone ended in a bootloop after switching to ART. :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
ART is not supported yet my friend :(

if you can live without it then i believe this is a crazy fast daily drive...

Install xposed framework then install gravity box and activate it. There is an option for long press back key action in hardware keys. Choose kill foreground app.

Friedrich i have the Samsung emoji as .png files. Can you push them into an .ttf file? Or can you point me how can i do it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
I completely removed it...

Thank you for finding this!! I appreciate it :good:

Everything we created was only for everyone to have their choice of how to use anything we offer... The only motivation behind anything we do is this... Have we ever shown anything different than that?? Who in their right minds would publish "idiot-proof" guides for people to make the same mods as we do??? Not just for FREE but with a personal cost!!! That's just an example... The only thing i expect is not calling things we create 'crap" or me various names...

Edit: About the emojis my friend can i please ask you to talk about it tomorrow or friday?

I have no energy left and all i wanted to do was to announce the S3 update we are working on... Plans kind of changed i guess...Imagine coming home from a 12 hour work day to get your heart-beat up to 120... I feel exhausted and DISGUSTED so even that ill do tomorrow... I need some XDA detox...

Im sorry!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ciphernoelie:
Em the word crappy was used in reference to the app and I think any reasonable person would view your reply as childish/immature.

Here's links to photos of your website (which has now changed) and a link to the app which specifically says that it's from echoerom:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_MqFf8-gTVTM3NGWWhHeGlVaDA/edit?usp=docslist_api

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_MqFf8-gTVTMzRxM2ZSb1JVVjA/edit?usp=docslist_api

I think you owe me an apology.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] vladimir_carlan:
That was happening to me for a while. But i knew the issue is not at you.Was happening on many "smartphones related" websites (xda-developers, phonearena, etc.)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
i think you live in another world....

You conveniently forgot the pic that tells you you must install this app and you have no other choice...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ciphernoelie:
I never said that I had no choice.

I said the app (not from mobiegenie we know now) gives (gave) the impression that installing it (and it downloaded automatically in the background once you looked at the page), that it would enhance the echoerom experience, it was a better way to download ROMs and stay up to date.

Your replies have been irrational and unreasonable IMO.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
This is all that app was... http://www.wiziapp.com/

Basically an easy way to create the mobile version of the website...

I still dont understand what it did that was dangerous...

I cant know how many people have downloaded that app... But i promise you one thing, if anyone had said anything about bothering them, making them feel insecure or being invasive, it would have been gone a long time ago like i just did... We never intentionally put/used/created anything to make your phone have malware or anything like that... All we used was that wordpress plugin in the website i give above to create another way for people to view the Echoe website...

I still dont understand what the danger is (i maybe naive.... im not being sarcastic!!! like i wasnt being sarcastic when i said if you believe it is warez you should report it on XDA)...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] leijonasisu:
Another 'unhappy customer' instead of abusing people who give you constructive feedback fried, maybe you should listen to it. Just because you have a bold green name and are recognised as a contributor doesn't mean you get to throw your weight around on the forums. Besides it's very hypocritical that you point the finger at people for using words like 'crap' and 'immature' when you refer to other people's feedback as 'bs'

He didn't say remotely anything that should be taken offensively..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Listen i really dont want to start anything with you again.. we are not children and i would like to put an end to it

I reacted wrong by saying BS about your review!! I was wrong!!

Like you were wrong about what you wrote and wished to me New Year;s Eve.. It;s ok we make mistakes... I certainly do!!

Any feedback is welcome.. If you have the time please read some of my threads and see how the Roms progressed,,, Based solely on users feedback.. After i saw how much that app was bothering the user and the fact that at least another user confirmed it resulted in immediately removing the app...

The only thing i dont accept is what i have in bold... I never never see any color... That doesnt matter at all!! I dont feel im any better than anyone and i think the way i interact with everyone shows that... There is only one thing that bothers me... "Nihilistic Criticism" (im sorry im not sure how else to say it). I know its always a matter of perception, but your criticism (at least imo) was indeed "nihilistic". But still i was wrong for calling BS...

That's all... I hope one day you can see im not what you wrote in bold...

My hope is at least the other hundreds of users do see that...

Edit: ill close with something "light"... Do you remember (i dont know if you were following the thread from the beginning) when i had the "Einstein" idea to put nav bars the backlash and negative reactions i got? They were gone the next day and im still making a joke to my team members about that...) :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Agree. Time to change Rom again. Don't like this utterly defensive stuff at all. Other GE Roms in the sea.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] JCobra72:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sydknee:
Oh for goodness sake. This is a dev giving up his time for our benefit to create something good for us all. And it is good.....

If you don't like something, then fair enough to post and feedback on here. If you still don't like it, as you say there are plenty of other roms, so go else where.

But please stop laboring the point and going over and over old ground. It blocks the forum for the hundreds of us who love the rom and want to learn more.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] RossFixxed:
Making a rom these days seems to imply you're the reason bad things happen good people! I heard fredriche started world war 3!

Seriously though, the rom on v2.2 is BRILLIANT! Thank you again!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
As i know, friedrich would never ever start a war. I was really sad after reading the last few pages. The Echoerom threads are so great, and have such a great personality and peace. Please keep this. No one here wants a war, especially not the echoerom users. [MENTION=369612]Friedrich[/MENTION]: head up my friend. Don't give a damn on "some" comments.:highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] skeamznz:
If you understood the history and some of the things my friend has been through and has been called you would understand his response.

In my opinion Echoe roms have the greatest amount of support of any ROM in the S4 threads. There's not just one or two people there's a team, who's always ready to help even if its restating things that have been said multiple times. I love this ROM and I love what it stands for. If you have a problem guys just remember [MENTION=4401403]friedrich420[/MENTION] and the whole team donate our time and energy and ask for nothing in return. So all I'm asking if you have a problem think about the way your putting it across. Just because something is not offensive to you doesn't mean it effects others in the same way. Cheers Echoeians :D

Well said. It is always the Sound who makes the Music.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Grathius:
With KTweaker anyone have any recommended setting that I should be toying with to receive the most optimal performance and battery?

I seem to find that music played through power amp dies this crazy scratch noise when I lock the phone or unlock it. It's in frequent but when it happens it's annoying.

The phone does seem to get hot and the battery drains quite fast roughly <14 hours is what I'm getting. Any specific modem or baseband I should have flashed as well that'll improve the battery and also not have the phone become so hot with general use?

Any help or even pointing me in the right direction ?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Damager:
I'm on latest version of Echoe KitKat, and via suggestions in the thread have changed cpu settings to interactive/row and phone does seem to be zipping much more nicely now. One recurring problem previously was the camera FC'ing requiring a reboot. I've had no such problems since! Since the changing the governor, I have noticed (and seen someone else mention) the audio suffers a kind of "lag" in PowerAmp. It sounds like a quick audio distortion.. basically liker a buzzer sound. Any ideas of a cause and a solution? Thanks friedrich420 for your work on this.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
just pitching in to say that since ktoonz updated his kernel i have not had a single random reboot, this rom is definitely 100% stable.

i'm going to be reinstalling my phone from scratch with a clean 2.2 now in preparation for the touchwiz kitkat as my dual boot (which we all know friedrich will jump on the minute its released)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Acer4605:
First of all pay attention to the serial nr of your battery, if it starts with BD read the following carefully:

Samsung shipped a lot of S4 with a bad battery series they aknowledged the problem and you can exchange this under warranty.

What are the characteristics of a bad battery

huge battery drainage

random reboots during calls/textmessages

not be able to reboot because the phone is hanging at the samsung logo ( you can only continue when you connect the phone to the powersupply.

battery starts to swell, pay attention if it already is the longer you wait the more change you have the battery will explode

goodluck

Anyway would be nice if you could put them in "Themes and apps" section for others to use aswell. Normally should work on CM based Kitkat roms aswell.
