Same problem, anyone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackendra:
:(

I think its cus of the kernel may not support loop devices :(.

Now I have a fcking useless tablet!

Cant use dsploit, because its only for devices with ARM cpu's.

Plus Ill probably wont matter because my kernel doesnt support loop devices again.

And now I cant use network spoofer!

I am having a ridiculous amount of trouble with my kindle. I had rooted it and was swapping through roms quite frequently trying to find something I liked. Somewhere along the way something got messed up. I just want to wipe it completely and start fresh. No root. I have looked for several hours on the web and cant seem to find anything. I need a barney style breakdown step by step with all download links and everything. I get the basics but the terminology gets confusing. Thanks in advance.

You need to download the SDK package as well. Here is a video tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw

You will need a factory fastboot cord as well. You can get one off eBay or an adapter here http://shop.teamblackhat.info/Factory-Adapters-motadapt.htm

Thank you. I haven't got a chance to try it yet but I will eventually. I'm now thinking of going back with a root and rom. Do you have any known good ones?

So... I cant get it to go into fastboot. Using Kindle Fire Utility version 0.9.6 it shows online 4000. When i try to get it to go to fastboot it sits at Activating Fastboot <4002> and does nothing else. Any ideas?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Why are you using Kindle Fire utility? Do you wish to turn your Kindle into a paperweight? KFU is for first generation only. You need a fastboot cord. Hold the powerbutton down on the KIndle for 20 seconds until the Kindle powers off? Plug the fastboot cord into a USB port and then into the Kindle. The Kindle should power on and show fastboot on the screen. Is this what it does?

Edit: Or are you using a first generation Kindle and posting in a Kindle Fire HD 7 thread?

I wanted to try PSX Custom ROM 4.4.

this is the thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2543176

I'm running on TWRP using freegee app on playstore and flashed using the "classic method" (there was another method the mako method) and it doesn't flash PSX because it keeps failing. apparently, the updated TWRP is needed which is supplied in the said thread.

There are guides on how to flash a custom recovery, but i haven't found a guide on how to update or change from a preexisting recovery to a new one

so the question how do i safely update twrp or maybe in the future flash to CWM.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Simply flash the new recovery from an existing one, that's it. :) "New" doesn't mean newer version, just the one you want. I never had problems flashing different recoveries on any of my devices.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kabeshis1923:
so just flash from fastboot is that it?
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Flash from the existing recovery, whichever one you have (I understand you are running TWRP installed by FreeGee). So, just go to TWRP the same way you do for flashing the ROM, and flash a zip for an updated recovery (TWRP or CWM, whatever you need, doesn't matter) that you downloaded.
[LG Optimus G (International)] atifsh:
Also freegee now updates recovery withouy touching bootloader again as mentioned by shelnut.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why isn't there XXXXXXX feature.

A: Shoot us a Suggestion if you want to see something added. While we are not going to promise to implement, we will always look into it

Q: But CM and all the others have..

A: ROM developers, including CM, build something they want to use. The ROM dev that includes something they won't run implies less than 100% effort to ensure it does work. As a team, we have similar goals and objectives. If XYZ ROM has a feature you want, and we don't (or don't want), feel free to use XYZ ROM, or build your own custom version of Octo-Kat

Bugs:

Let us know if you run into bugs. Get Syslog from the Android Market, if you don't already have it. No logs and we can only try to recreate the event off of vague descriptions. Please also include what you were doing when it FCed or failed. Logs can be emailed to: teamoctos@gmail.com

Basic Instructions:

Download ROM .zip file

Reboot to Recovery (Note: Use Three-Finger or adb reboot recovery - ROM Manager or similar software is NOT supported)

--- TWRP is the ONLY recovery Team OctOs uses - We do not support flashing on CWM ---

Reboot

A Note about the Team OctOs GApps

We in Team OctOs believe in choices. We believe in leaving the fundamental decisions about your phone to you.

In that spirit, Team OctOs gives you options for your GApps experiences. While any GApps package should work, we offer you the choice of using some of the same GApps packages that we use ourselves, and leave the choice up to you.

The Dalvik-Enhanced packages are NOT ART compatible. If you plan to run ART, don't use those.

Thanks for providing excellent source to build on top of.

4.4 kicked us back to square one with the additional settings and everything. It was like the ICS to JB and GB to ICS before that. I had expected a simple update. That's what I get for expecting anything of the sort. :good:

apart from that it looks nice....

Have to say, flash roms for some years now, nut oct settings hidden , for me not the most logical place....

Found them after all...
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Grommish:
They are supposed to be.

The idea is that you can have an almost 100% AOSP experience unless you choose not to. It's why out of the box you don't even have a Reboot option.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Grommish:
I backup to External SD all the time with TiBu, and I"m running the stock kernel.

Keep in mind, Google removed the ability for Apps to use the External SD under 4.4.4
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] s44:
Well no, just folders that aren't its own. And this shouldn't affect root apps like TiBu.

Anyway, I may try again clean flash... but how come the latest S4 build predates the last changelog entry?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Grommish:
Mostly because those updates were totally worth pushing for the device. The small changes to ThemeEngine and general AOSP wasn't enough to warrant it. Grouper got a fresh build of course, as it was the first official build. We will work on getting a new one out tho within the next few days.

Clean install, no issues except Play Music still won't let me change storage location. It's worked on every other ROM including CM11 (had to clear the cache from inside the app first, which did exactly nothing for me here). Could it be something to do with the SD card mappings?

Love the ROM. Having one odd problem though. I did a fresh install of the latest build. In play store it says I need to update SuperSu. When I do SuperSu says it needs to update the binary, but it just keeps failing. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] blachamlet:
Choose to update through recovery. If you have TWRP it will do it automatically.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] churchey360:
Did you try using both options stock and custom recovery? Sometimes if you use stock it'll update the binary.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] efaden:
Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Other question is any kernel recommendations? (E.g. Alucard, Googy, Chronic, KToonz, etc). Any better than the stock?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] churchey360:
I think it uses ktoonsez kernel but i dont really remember lol but i like alucard kernel

Thanks... one other random problem popped up.... OctOTA is saying

"Update: Cannot read OctOTA properties"

Ideas?

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

I tried this method. It reboots and applies an update.zip but still asks to upgrade again the next time I go into supersu. Just keeps asking. Other ideas? Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] churchey360:
If your on philz recovery then boot into recovery and go to advance options and click reroot and it should work
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] efaden:
Solved in temporarily by just applying the SuperSu update as a ZIP from the XDA page.

Two remaining things keeping me from using this ROM daily...

1) Facebook Contact Sync doesn't work... I tried using the XPosed Module, but it didn't work either. In DU/CM/etc it is enabled... thoughts?

2) Can't find the option to enable the input method status bar icon... am I missing it?

Thanks.

Please don't speculate....no we haven't found the secret Lollipop code stash somewhere. We are working on a new improved base for OctOS and trying to iron out all the wrinkles prior to publishing any releases so don't ask for a preview release cause it won't happen till it's ready for public. Also, we are getting our own gerrit sorted out so our new source will never get borked from something not being reviewed by the team for patch submitals. There....now you know and understand that we haven't died and started pushing up daisies somewhere. ;)

This rom is the best aosp here. EVERYTHING is working. Mic on voip, ir, camera, exfat on sdcard, ... And battery life is the highest i've seen on my i9505 since i got it. 2 days with it now and result is 6h SOT. Wifi and 3g mixed usage. My phone is fast, smooth, stable, no single fc, and i'm using ART. On 4.3 tw debloated stock kernel, i hardly reach 4h sot, and on 4.4.2 ge faux 1st dec kernel 3h30 sot.

Thank you very much for your work.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Grommish:
Thank you for the kind words. There are still things in the works, so if you do run across issues, certainly let us know.

I know on the 12/28 build, App sidebar and compass sensors have issues. More to come!
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] rjrjzozo:
Sorry to reply you but compass is working. Tried with androts gps pro. The only thing missing is 2g/3g/4g switch at quick tile.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] undopt:
Is there a possibility of implementing HALO2 on the rom?

It's the only feature that I miss, the rest of the rom is perfect!
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] rjrjzozo:
OP, why don't you put on the title of your thread "MIC on VOIP fixed", "exfat sdcard fixed" ?

That will make easy for people to go here directly. I was desesperatly trying every 4.4 AOSP rom on their every build to come back to GE 4.4 but the battery draining was a no go for me. Almost give up and BOOM i tried your ROM.

There's so many AOSP ROM here and ALL have at least one BIG function lacking.

Ex : On CM11, sdcard in exfat is working but no MIC on VOIP, the same on Supernexus by Faryaab, CarbonRom, on OMNI, mic is working on VOIP but no support of Exfat. They can have all bells and whistles, new multiview mode, new HALO, PIE, to me and many, MIC on VOIP and Exfat support are VERY importants.

This rom definitively lack of notoriety. I think all have already abandonned to try AOSP rom (except from broodplank) since these two big issues have been ignored by the developper. Yes, i said IGNORED because i don't really think fixing these issues is difficult (you did it and others) but they prefer to add nwe function than fixing it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Grommish:
We don't put it in there because it's never been an issue for us.

We had a single exFAT external issue back on 4.3.1, but not 4.4.

We've got Octos builds for all S4 varieties and a few XX testers, but as you can see, this is a fairly new thread in the i9505 section. None of the core group has an i9505, we are all VZW and Sprint.

Glad it's working for you tho! Feel free to spread the word.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Dubbsy:
Also we don't like to toot our own horns.... We like to break down your kitchen wall and scream OH YEAH!!!!!

all joking aside we love brood. We started with his base and went from there. We keep it true to aosp(like brood) as much as possible and hide the options in Dev settings that way all in all its still a vanilla build if you choose to keep it that way.

Just because some people can't figure out a feature is no reason to make our title talk about features that should work anyway... That's just my opinion. But again we aren't looking to puff out our chests and say we are better than anyone. We just want to make a ROM wed use. And well, we've done that.

We have been very very busy. Today we added all aosp devices, Evita, jewel, epic, and HTC one. We are just proving out builds before those posts are made.:good:

Please can you add 2g/3g/lte tile on quick setting ? And Network speed indicator on the bar ?

I can add these via XPOSED/GRAVITY but i want to use ART.

Everything else is pure awesomeness!

Using your rom since 6 days so far and no problemo!
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Grommish:
I added it to the wishlist.

However!

Instead of using ART, You should check out the Dalvik-Enhanced GApps packages. They allow you to continue using DALVIK (rather than ART) and actually equal the existing ART benchmarks.

Worth a try

already deleted it from my phone and i don't have copy !
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Grommish:
Its being researched.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] !crazy:
Maybe the same issue CM had, or even still has?

I am on previous build and everything is working great. I missed a little CM profiles, and quiet hours, but found the 'Profile scheduler' app in the playstore.

I still have to test camera extensively, but for now it was working fine.

If you are taking code parts or drivers from CM you can expect troubles with camera too. Those two (VoIP, and camera.) are the most famous, still actual bugs in CM as of CM 11 existence.

Edit

Always forget... Thanks for your grate work, and probably the best ROM for this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Grommish:
No, not the same issue CM has. While we, by necessity, have to use the CM device files, our CM repos are a very tiny part of the overall build.

We believe it was a removal of a line in the source. Testing a fix now.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] andr01d3:
I just flashed this a few hours ago and overall is pretty fine, but I have a very annoying problem...
