Thanks for the updated ROM.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] anees02:
Please ,where is the hotspot of stockish03 ROM...I didn't find it...is it built in the rom or i have to flash it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
From the homescreen:

menu > settings > hotspot

Turn it on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] anees02:
But there is no Hotspot in settings

my screenshot as follow
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spiricore:
Deleted 'em all. That did it. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
What other mods are you running? I can guarantee you that this is there on a fresh install.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] anees02:
I just flash the ROM and didn't install any mods.

But there is a notification said that there is no SIM....since i haven't SIM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Did you do a full wipe when you installed this ROM? Or did you install it over another ROM? I would suggest wiping again and installing as follows:

To install this ROM follow these instructions EXACTLY:

Boot into Philz recovery

Select "Wipe Data/Factory reset"

Select "Clean to Install a New Rom"

Select "Yes I will install a new ROM".

Then flash this ROM.

NOTE: Clean wipe twice. Some users have reported force closes when this installs. I have wiped twice every time and have yet to have any force close issues upon installing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] anees02:
I did what you said ..but the same result .

I wipe and wipe to install a new ROM 4 times of different wipes.....but the same result.

I think the problem is in ((There is no SIM in my device))...so some features are disabled.

How can I get the hotspot work without SIM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Can you contact sprint and get a sim? WIthout a sim card your phone has no access to EDVO or LTE which the hotspot absolutely uses for internet access. As well as wifi to transmit that internet access to other phones or devices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] anees02:
I live outside USA and flashed my mobile to "Yemen Mobile" carrier in Yemen.

and I can access the internet using EVDO but without SIM.

So how to enable the hotspot without SIM.

I also have Sprint Galaxy S3 without SIM and i can enable the hotspot without problems.

So why this can not apply to S4?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I'd say this is a result of your custom flashing process. I have no idea how to diagnose this as I didn't use the same process. Perhaps ask this in the thread where you obtained the flashing process to Yemen Mobile? I really don't understand how you're accessing EDVO or LTE without a sim but that question is best answered there. Not here.

The only thing I can tell you is that the hotspot mod is enabled by making modifications to services.jar. You can decompile that and make these changes yourself. You can find them documented throughout XDA. But my mod doesn't REMOVE the menu option.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] anees02:
Ok thank you.

I followed this flashing way

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2270191

by dialing *22800

So i will searching for a solution to this issue.

Thanks again for your amazing ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rrbailey89:
Call Recording

I noticed this option where "add call" used to be. I dont think its working (or i dont know how to use it). I push it to record then again to stop and it crashes the dialer app causing the phone to reboot itself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
This is wanam xposed. Turn it off in there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rrbailey89:
Oh okay then. But I would like to use this recording feature. Just don't know why it crashes the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I would ask this in the wanam xposed thread if I were you. I simply added this to the ROM. I didn't develop it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JD1zzle:
Dirty flashed after 2x wipe of Cache/Dalvik. Works amazing, as usual. Love that Wanam and the Kernel come loaded in. Loving the stock(ish) experience. Thanks again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] greenmuggy:
Ok im going to give it another go here soon... Completely bricked it last nite & nothing in odin flashed properly untill i read somewhere that i need to remove the .md5 suffix from the tar file... Anyone around to help if needed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Brick is a little harsh don't you think? I've flashed this many times over and over. Not one single brick.

Are you getting force close errors during the first boot? Or is it taking a long time during the first boot? A long boot on the first boot is normal as cache is being built. You should wait that out.

Specifically what errors are you encountering? I can't imagine having to use odin to recover from a flash of this ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] greenmuggy:
Just did it again... It just wont boot after I flash this rom. I let it wait about 15min b4 i pull the battery. I even downloaded it again with no luck. So, right now I'm stuck with no booting & about to odin it again... This sucks lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Ok lets walk through this because this works.

What release of Philz recovery are you using to flash this? The one in the op?

I'm guessing you are doing the following:

Boot into Philz recovery

Select "Wipe Data/Factory reset"

Select "Clean to Install a New Rom"

Select "Yes I will install a new ROM".

Then flash this ROM.

NOTE: Clean wipe twice. Some users have reported force closes when this installs. I have wiped twice every time and have yet to have any force close issues upon installing.

Does it get beyond the samsung screen? Do you see the animated "android" logo? you don't have to flash the modem each time you flash this rom. Once is enough.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] greenmuggy:
Yes im following all op instructions. No it never makes it past the samsung screen... EVER... lol

I rooted using CF auto root thru odin on stock MF9. One mistake i made was not making a backup in Philz, the only backup i have is the one from TWRP
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Rooting doesn't matter in this case. When you wipe all root is gone. try wiping the /preload

this ROM has over 700 downloads since yesterday. I can't imagine that someone would not have reported a similar error by now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] greenmuggy:
preload gets wiped with your op instructions right? would manual be better?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
It can't hurt. I have no idea why you seem to be the only one unable to flash this.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] wizky911:
Does this Rom with galaxy gear and chatOn
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
It should work fine with both of those.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] greenmuggy:
ok bout to restore my TWRP backup, & then change to Philz... BACKUP THERE>>> & try again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Are you running the release of Philz Recovery from the OP?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] greenmuggy:
Im using Philz 6.00.8 odin tar. no luck with the .zip flashables
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
why no luck?I flashed the version of philz in the OP right from TWRP

this may be your issue. the version I have in the OP is 6.0.0.8 also. It has CWM base 6.0.4.5. Verify that you have the same.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] greenmuggy:
awesome thanx man
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Ahhh I edited my post. it seems that 6.00.8 contains the CWM base of 6.0.4.5. Make sure you're running the same and make sure you have the selinux content checked in Misc Nandroid Settings for your backups to be good. if not they will FC.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] greenmuggy:
Process SE Context - JB 4.3?????

Congratulations, you've certainly earned it! :good:

[MENTION=1274198]rawintellect[/MENTION] With your permission, may I share a CWM recovery of what I would like to call Stock(ish)v3 Lite? I've removed a lot more of the Samsung bloat, a few missed Knox files and a few other missed things. It would also be pre-configured, so things like Wanam, Viper, KT and various settings for battery life/performance turned off (just toggles like Hand Gesture and stuff; nothing removed, totally safe ). I can make a list of what I've done and removed, but I was wondering if you were open to the option. And... well, I want to make sure - if you did give me the go - I did the backup right so people would be able to successfully restore it from Philz without any of my device-specific information to cause conflict (I left all personalization stock/empty, so I'm not worried about personal information).

It's a very conservative modification. I still want to keep all the functionality and capability of my S4, but I'd rather download stuff as I want it without having any errors. It's not minimalistic by any means, just streamlined and slimmed down a bit.

I tried making a flashable zip with winRAR/7-zip/kitchen but that didn't go so well (stuck at boot animation) because I had almost no idea what I was doing for a repack, but a CWM recovery may help with a lot of the people having problems. I did a fresh reinstall and everything is good; I'd do my usual "include comprehensive documentation/tutorials" along with the release. The zips ended up being a little over 800mb.

Cheers, and happy soon-to-be 2014 (from northwestern USA)! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I'll tell you why I'm not really happy with that and I hope you can understand. It's fine to debloat your ROM all you want. change it how ever you please. That's the mission statement behind this ROM. I tried to give everyone a good starting point. To do as they please.

However that being said sharing a recovery with users of my ROM will give them the impression that I will support any changes you made and redistributed in the ROM. That's just not the case. I won't. It's like making a copy of a copy. No good can come from it.

If you want to make your own ROM based on the MK2 base and your own thread I totally encourage it. But you'll be supporting it my friend.

I really hope you understand that and I'm glad you were able to make the changes you did. I had hard choices of what to include and not to include to make as many people happy as I can.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spiricore:
Totally understandable! Just thought I'd offer. :) Thanks again for your continued development on stock(ish)! :cowboy:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] greenmuggy:
Ok, I'm awake... Got a full backup in Philz recovery. but I don't know what you're talking about with the selinux content checked in Misc Nandroid Settings. I don't see that function???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fgr:
From the main menu in Philz, choose Backup and Restore then Misc Nandroid Settings.

Right above ++++Go Back++++ is Process SE Context - JB 4.3. Make sure it is selected, (x)

I would then make a backup and restore it just for peace of mind.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] greenmuggy:
OK so then I'm good already :D Did the back up & restore lastnite & all is good. I'm redownloading Stock(ish) V3 for a third time... Hopefully this works... I'll be back after i flash this for the 8th time...

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 PM ----------

OK so i should follow the OP instructions for flashing rom, then turn off phone from recovery(instead of reboot device) turn on, then flash modem. Then should i reboot or turn off/on?

Well anyways ill try both ways... now that i have my CWM backup, along with a TWRP backup

---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------

Ok seriously getting pissed here... bricked again... wtf... There has to be something I'm missing...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Longball:
5be81dd68a531c8b5f8c627774d44260 is the MD5 I have entered and can't seem to get that to match the V3 download when I download the file. I've downloaded 3 times now. Am I possibly missing something ??

Thanks in advance

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rrbailey89:
Are you sure you have the correct model phone? So long as you are using Philz recovery (linked in OP) and follow the flash instructions in the OP you should be golden.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] greenmuggy:
Yes im sure that i have the same model... I did 3 days of research b4 i even rooted it. I have no clue whats going on, but either this rom hates my phone, or my phone hates this rom... Do i have a bootloader to unlock? I never did if thats the case... All i did was root stock MF9, Deknox thru Super SU, flash recovery(TWRP & CWM neither one will flash this rom...) No matter what i cant ever get past the Samsung Galaxy S4 boot screen it permanently freezes unless i restore a backup or worse have to Odin... If i flash the MK2 modem(used the link in OP) I have to odin......
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kevinsturf:
This is very strange...one if the main requirements is to have mk2 modem before you flash this rom.Are you sure you have the mk2 modem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rrbailey89:
Be sure that mk2 firmware is sticking before you flash this rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jstntp:
I would definately look into to this suggestion if I were you [MENTION=1666630]greenmuggy[/MENTION]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dante32278:
Is there a way to turn off the lockscreen rotation? Its caused a couple weird moments for me where the rotation happened in the middle of unlocking the phone and caused a reboot.

Also, happy new year xda community!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
You cannot select individual screen rotations. If you turn off screen rotation it applies to the lockscreen as well. I have tested lockscreen rotation over and over and have never had a reboot due to a lockscreen rotation.

Are you overclocking? I'm much more concerned about the actual reboot than the lockscreen causing it. if your phone is running the Turbo profile it's quite possible it rebooted from this more so than the rotation.

I'd dial back the voltage in KTweaker if I were you. I think lockscreen rotation is cool. I guess I really can't please everyone lol!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] greenmuggy:
Yes!!! The link in the OP... Geez... I've already said i followed all Op instructions multiple times... When i flash the modem b4 the rom it screws up the boot process... It will boot but, takes like 5+ minutes even after the first boot & then my wifi quits working, as in it wont even turn on... No matter what i cant flash this rom or modem without it needing a restore or odin... There has to be something that im missing. I tried all the methods mentioned that also work, ive listened to the OP's comments, nothing works right... But atleast i have a backup made in TWRP & Philz so now im at the point where i dont need to odin anymore :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] perezmarka:
I had issues with dirty flashing. Finally had to just to do a clean install. Works great on the Stock(ish) V3. Quick question: is this rom geared for high performance or for long battery life or both? What would I need to do to optimize this rom for long battery life?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
The ROM is geared for both. If you want long battery life don't use the Turbo profile. There are MANY battery tweaks in this ROM as well as performance mods to reduce lag.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] greenmuggy:
Ok I'm Odin'ing back to stock... Going to let it OTA to MK2... Then reroot, deknox thru Super SU, then recovery... Asking one last time... Is there a bootloader that needs unlocked???

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I need to flash stuff I'm having withdraws here lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rrbailey89:
Hey OP are you planning on incorporating kit - kat when it comes?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] storm1935:
Knox tripped and still here?

Last night I finally had the courage to install my first ROM, Stock(ish) v03. The ROM seems to be running correctly and

root was successfully verified by Root Checker Basic (joeykrim).

The issue I'm having is that I was under the assumption that Knox would be removed after I install this ROM.

But when I boot into download mode, I see in the upper left corner of the phone in tiny font the following:

and when I power up the phone I see the following in the same place:

I noticed the KNOX WARRANTY VOID counter was tripped after I installed Philz Touch 6.0.0.8 via Odin 3.07 using a tar.md5 file.

My question:

Is there a way to reset the Knox counter to 0x0 and/or remove it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
The knox counter is in your bootloader. Flashing any ROM through a custom recovery will trip it. My ROM doesn't contain the KNOX bootloader so whatever bootloader you have is what you're going to end up with after a flash. I never said this wouldn't trip knox. I'm still running MF9 bootloader so I don't have this problem. To see what version of bootloader you're running download an app from Google Play called "device info" it's located here.

In fact the moment you flashed a custom recovery you tripped knox. Long before you installed my ROM. Knox is the SAMSUNG warranty. Not sprint insurance. If you have sprint insurance then it doesn't matter. They don't care about knox.

Read more here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Unfortunately knox cannot be reset at the current time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Probably.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] perezmarka:
Default?

I followed your original instructions when setting up the Turbo profile. Do I use the Default backup profile I created or the Load Default options?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Either one.

Also might I suggest you taking a trip over to KT's thread and running his setup. he's reported 3 days of battery life.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jmilch:
Does visual voice mail come with this rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Voicemail comes installed in this ROM. While I don't use it I understand it can be upgraded to visual voicemail correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] anees02:
Air view feature doesn't work for me....did you face this issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Air view works perfectly fine. Try it in stock email and apps like flipboard.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] anees02:
I tried it on sms messages.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Works fine there too. I just did it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] anees02:
Then I have to do a clean flash again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
That's up to you. I know this works. I'm looking right at it. You could try another ROM and see if it works there? I haven't touched any of the stock samsung features. This is not an ASOP rom. Does this work in email or flipboard?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spiricore:
So out of 3 fresh installs, 2 have not displayed the "Music effects" option under Audio settings and 1 has. Since I've been working on customizing the rom to my needs, would you happen to know of how to restore it without flashing and debloating again (ex. file names that are required for this)? I finally got everything up and running, and that is the only feature I am having trouble with and I have no way to really tell if Viper is working or not.

Happy 2014 :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
You could uninstall and reinstall it. It's a system app though so you'll have to use TiBu (or root explorer and delete it from /system/app and copy it back to /system/app and set permissions to do it manually). It's in my menu every time I've installed this ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] anees02:
No...it is not working at all.

I tried clean install...but not working....but i tried this features before 2 days and it was working perfect.

So what is the problem now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
You guys are wearing me out today lol! I'm probably going to take a vacation from Xda for a bit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
have you tried a different ROM? can anyone else reproduce this problem? I can't. So until someone can I'd say the problem is local to your phone. No one else is reporting this issue.

Do you have air view enabled in quick settings? I know that's a silly question but I have no idea what your skill level is with android.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] anees02:
Unfortunately yes.....i tried another ROM but also not working.

So what happened to my phone?

It was working perfectly before 2 days.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
hardware failure. That pretty much cinches it. If you used two different ROMs and it's not working then the problem is the phone. Take it to sprint. your proximity sensor is most likely defective.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] anees02:
But i can use it on gallery to browse photos by swiping my hand?

Oh no....sometimes i become stupid .

There is Air view tap in settings....i must enter this tap and activate "information preview"

Thanks rawintellect
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
That's air gesture. I'm not sure if that uses a different sensor. The fact remains is that if you've tried two different roms it's not the ROM. its the hardware.

EDIT: Soooo it wasn't enabled? Problem solved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] btoddweber:
Which theme is that in your screenshots sir?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Black chrome
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kevinsturf:
Okay...I don't know if it's only me with this issue but for some reason my gmail won't sync properly. I receive an email and shows up on desktop gmail but when I go check it in the app, it shows old emails from a few days ago and refreshing won't pull in the new emails.

*On V03
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dante32278:
No biggie, its your ROM so it can be made however you want. Just wasn't sure if I was missing a setting somewhere.

As far as the reboots I think it was the KT kernel, wasn't running the turbo profile anymore. My phone doesn't seem to play well with it ever no matter what ROM I run.
