Well that's simply a question of voltage. If your phone reboots but won't come back on and you have to plug it in then that's overvoltage. You'll beed to turn down the CPU voltage (I'd try it in increments of 5 or 10). If it reboots and simply comes back without you plugging it in that's an UNDERVOLT. You'd need to bump up the CPU voltage by 5 or 10 until it's more stable.

Every phone is different so voltages aren't universal. Play with the voltages to find what's right for your phone. Then save the profile. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:
my problem must be overvoltage. If I can ever get of this Low profile settings Ill play around with the voltages a bit.

My heart bleeds for you (rabies and all)! I myself will be sticking with Low Gear (or perhaps frozen Mastodon) henceforth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
Mine are not to bad me thinks. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:
After playing around a little bit, was able to get like 13000 as my highest, decreased the voltages by 15 I believe.

hotspot not working

I tried everything in the op and I can't get the hotspot to work. Wifi works fine. Is there something I'm missing? I can see it with all of my devices but I can't obtain the ip address.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Are you using the default password? if so it's your phone number. As I've said over and over, I have fully tested the hotspot. It works. If you are using a custom SSID and encryption make sure it's set up correctly. The WiFi hotspot patch isn't complex. It just disables the check to see if you're eligible for the service. Nothing else is changed.

I'm typing this right now on the hotspot connected to my laptop. (see screenshot)

All my pics didn't upload I guess :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CCallahan:
Just flashed this yesterday and wanted to provide feedback. Went back a ways in the thread to read and try and get caught up on some things so sorry if some of this is addressed already.

I did a clean flash as instructed in the OP. All is running pretty well. Flashed the init.d fix in OP and set KT with the low gear v2 config.

Couple things I'm confused on....didn't see Adaway installed at all so not sure if it needs to be installed or what to update the host file. Also, not sure if Busybox was installed (might be hidden?) and I know it is included in the rom package but I also got ZRam asking me about which ZRam type to install and that Busybox is needed. I did a full clean wipe numerous times (even formatted data, system, etc. multiple times) but can try doing it again and see what happens.

Also, low gear v2 config makes the phone screen take a little bit too long to come on when a call comes in so might have to go back to default config. Any suggestions on this?

Great job on this rom and congrats on the RC. ;) Look forward to playing with this rom some more.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:
Try low gear v1. V2 I think is like a dumbed down version of the original because some people had issues with v1. I use v1 with no problems
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Zram should just work when you open it. It installs its own custom busybox ss noted earlier in this thread.

It should not ask you anything about which type of zram you have. You must use KToonsez kernel with zram.. Not the stock kernel. Its all bundled in tbis rom.

Follow the instructions in the OP on installing this rom. Which include what to wipe. How many times to wipe. Rebooting recovery before flashing.

Basically there should never be any reason to change zram. Just use the gui to verify the swaps are created.

This all has been tested over and over. Its a very easy install.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CCallahan:
Yep. I read and followed the OP to a "T". No worries....I will do a fresh install again and see what happens. What about Adaway though? Should it be in my app drawer or do I need to install to update hosts file? Not seeing it in app drawer. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
You'll have to install adaway yourself (here's the apk)and then use raw's instructions to update the host file.

I did it that way and have since updated it a couple times.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Iandv:
I tried everything before I popped the question. How can you set it up incorrectly? As of now, I can connect to my phone but data isn't shared. I even tried to install the mk2 deodexed hotspot mod with the same results. Not bashing your rom or anything. I'm just stumped. Maybe you have a suggestion that I haven't thought of.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I have no suggestions other than to tell you to do a full wipe. Including /data. I know this works.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rushco:
I have the same problem as you. Of course I waited till I set everything up to try it so it must be something I did. On Saturday I'll do a fresh install and try it first. I even tried 2 different apps and one app (WiFi tether) said something about not finding root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
As for not bashing this ROM? There is nothing to bash. V04 currently has over 1100 downloads. No one else is reporting hotspot issues. I clean install V04 every single day to test and troubleshoot problems.

I have never had an issue. So if others aren't having this problem and I cannot reproduce your issue then the problem is local to your phone. Not the ROM.

Which is why I'm asking you to wipe EVERYTHING as instructed and then test this on a clean install without any apps installed by you.

Make sense? I hope so. Because everytime I encounter a person that is having a unique issue it always turns out to be something in /data that is installed on top of this ROM.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
The same thing applies to you. I would literally have over a thousand people coming in here telling me the hotspot is broken.

Since I don't and I cannot reproduce the problem there isn't a problem with it.

By the way there is no need to use a 3rd party app to tether wirelessly with this ROM. A few posts back I explained that all the hotspot mod does is remove the NATIVE hotspot check for eligibility of the service. It has nothing to do with 3rd party wifi tethering apps.

It modifies services.jar so if you have some mod you're installing on top of this ROM that overwrites services.jar you just broke it.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
True no bashing should be needed. This roms is very smooth. Idk If it is zram or my modifications in ktweaker. Either way its running great.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] alexnaoumi:
I forgot what files to delete to get rid of all the camera sounds. Anyone know off the top of their head
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rushco:
Something I installed must have changed services.jar so I'll see what I can do to get it working again. Thanks for the insight.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
Just deleting files won't get rid of sounds. Sounds are

in

the apk itself.

You can edit/add this line to the features.xml in the /system/CSC folder to give you the option to turn off the shutter sound.

Open the xml with a text

editor

then

Just find the camera section and add this before the end of that section:

<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>

Save, reboot and then open the camera and in the options menu you should now have the option to turn off shutter sound.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] alexnaoumi:
That did it, thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] lilmikeyv:
Has anyone tried (and been successful) running a theme with this rom? If so, any suggestions? Thanks to the op for all his time and efforts!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
Any way to remove the lock screen rotation? I'm not a fan of it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:
there should be a option in the notification bar
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
Be more exact. Idk if you're talking about the settings in wanam xposed or something else
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:
scroll down the notification bar on top of the screen, and there should be a toggle for screen rotation, turn it off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Sixsicksix:
Switching from v3 to v4 my LTE signal is super weak now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
That's not what I am trying to do. I said the lock screen rotation. Before you unlock the phone. Not the phones rotation when in apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:
I know that is what you meant, this is how I got it fixed on my device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
Thanks for the input but I want to get rid of the lock screen rotation independently. Not the whole phones screen rotation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:
In Wanam - Lockscreen is there is a lockscreen rotation option?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Sixsicksix:
Try widgetlocker
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
Didn't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
You can edit the build.prop section. I actually enabled it twice. lol! Once in SystemUI.apk. And again using the build.prop method for exactly this reason. I knew someone would hate it. If you make ANY change to a ROM the chances of 100% of people liking it is nil! :) So that being said:

change this:

# lockscreen rotation
lockscreen.rot_override=true

to this:

# lockscreen rotation
lockscreen.rot_override=false

and reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
It is possible but I would need a zip file to disable it. I know Blu Kuban has a zip but I really doubt it would work since its MF9 based.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
reread my edit. What I meant by "not possible" is that you cannot simply turn off the lockscreen rotation using the gui and leave the other intact. It's an all or nothing deal. I honestly didn't know if changing the build.prop would override the systemUI.apk edit or not. I tested it. It works. You just have to change the build.prop as noted above and reboot. just be aware that you'll have to change this after each release. I don't plan on making this an option.

And chances are all that zip does is overlay my build.prop with his build.prop. not exactly incompatible. However not advised since whatever his particular tweaks are to the build.prop file probably aren't the same as mine. And this would definitely change your build number and software number in the "about device" section. So it would end up displaying MF9 when you're actually running MK2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
Thanks I will try it when I get home. yeah that's the thing when you make a rom. Some devs like you are great and willing to show users like myself on how to make changes like these. Others say no I won't change it at all and say deal with it.

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

It worked thank you very much. I'm not that much of a fan because it seems 100% of the time when I take out my phone from my pocket to unlock it, its horizontal so have to flip it then unlock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Heads up. There's a new release of Philz Recovery. It might cure some of these install issues. I updated the OP with the d/l link. It's release 6.08.9 (CWM base v6.0.4.6)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
I installed fine on philz and twrp
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
What release of TWRP? Because there's been bootloop issues using TWRP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
2.6.3.1 I believe.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I'm not willing to sign off on TWRP 2.6.3.1. There's been far too many issues with flashing MK2 with TWRP. A quick search of these forums will show this. Which is why most devs (me included) prefer Philz.

To be clear: If anyone flashes this ROM with TWRP and you are having installation issues you are on your own until you decide to install the version of Philz in the OP. I will not support it.

Sorry but I have to draw the line somewhere and that's where it is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
I understand that. I used reveparts version of 2.6.3.1 so that might have been the difference to why I was able to get it up and running.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
The post wasn't for just you. I posted that disclaimer for everyone that reads this going forward.

On a different note I upgraded to V05 with 0 issues. I wiped /system /cache /preload and /dalvik and flashed this fine. Of course that's how I ALWAYS do it. However people have reported problems with leaving the /data partition intact. But I seem to be doing just fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
What's this V05 you talking about. ;)

Been running your ROM without ANY issues for over a week! (oh and I did update to the latest Philz the other day too, again without issues).

Looking forward to anything you've got.

Thanks rawintellect. Great work!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jonathanlc2005:
I like it but my issue is that the wifi network I use has security that requires PEAP and ChapV2

It keeps trying to connect and says getting IP address the retry again and again in an endless cycle
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Search this thread for PEAP and tell me what you find?

also a quick search of XDA reveals this issue with PEAP wifi connections isn't just local to my ROM. And I found several possible solutions. one of them is to:

add the following exact lines to your wpa_supplicant.conf

group=WEP104 WEP40

auth_alg=OPEN SHARED

Search XDA and hopefully one of the many threads I found will offer a solution for you if the above doesn't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jonathanlc2005:
Thanks for the gentle reply on my specific issue. Your right I didn't search but I know I tried mk2 deox and it was fine but I didn't like the lag with it. I'll give that a try.

Meanwhile I installed wipes to install ROM twice and reboot recovery then wiped system, cache, and davik then installed and zram still asks and tells me I don't have the right kernel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I hope you're not trying to install this on a Nexus 7 as your signature implies? :confused:

As for zram, if you search this thread for zram, you'll see that I've said over and over this works on a clean install. So, wipe EVERYTHING please. This means /data too. This works. Then use Titanium backup to restore your data.

Also I just searched KToonsez's Kernel thread for PEAP. This is what I discovered:

There's a theme that I'm trying to convey here. Know what it is?

XDA search is your friend.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jonathanlc2005:
lol no im not... i was just trying to use it to communicate

ok i will try again

yeah im doing searching now... im trying the solutions but i still cant get it to work right. i tried editing WPA_supplicant and wifi advanced config and still having this issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Searching SACs ROM thread reveals this problem is common in 4.3 custom ROMs.

I'm not even guaranteeing you'll find a solution. But at least you'll know the problem is a custom rom...ANY custom rom...and custom kernel and not this particular ROM/Kernel combination.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jonathanlc2005:
thanks for the help then... ill just either go ASOP or stock mk2 ODEX

once again... thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
And thank YOU (in advance) for hitting that thanks button... :fingers-crossed:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
I've said it before, I'll say it again, this ROM works great, the only problems ever were something I messed with myself. A clean install has worked best for me, and using Philz recovery.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] redram38:
I wiped everything three times, rebooted back into recovery but am still getting tons of FC when it boots up. I am unable to set up the Rom due to the FC isues. Maybe I got a bad download so I will download again and retry. Hoping to see how this one works. I love Sac's Rom but it seem I have issues with my phone not ringing when I get calls about 50% of the time. On stock my phone rings everytime. Hoping this one will work for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Again, what release of Philz Recovery are you using? Please use the one listed in the OP. Not TWRP. Not CWM. Not any other release of Philz. And by wiping everything did you also wipe /data?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] redram38:
I wiped everything including data three times. I have the latest version of Philz recovery I will check and see if it is the one here. Thanks for the help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I can assure you that this ROM has been flashed many times successfully by many users. While I personally have never had the FC issue that many report, I do acknowledge it exists. My only suggestion to you is to redownload, check the md5 and reflash according to the OP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Iandv:
hotspot still doesn't work.

I did another clean install following all the instructions from the op again. Hotspot still doesn't work. I don't even get the hotspot icon on the status bar. If I started from stock mk2 4.3, does that complicate anything? Seems like the new update prevents unauthorized hotspot use, even when rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
The hotspot works. Did you wipe /data during your clean install? Do you have a sim card in your phone? Maybe try a different ROM? It really is a fact that there have been a thousand + downloads of this. I say again that I wipe my phone clean at least once a day testing out various things and I ALWAYS test the hotspot. It works. If it doesn't work for you then maybe you need to see what is different on your phone than everyone else that successfully installs this?

What I can say is it's unfair to say something just "doesn't work" just because it doesn't work for you. If it didn't work this thread would be inundated‎ with posts saying "the hot spot is broken" or "the hot spot doesn't work". It's not. This works.

Here are the current stats for v04:

views 1595

downloads 1293

Now add 207 to the download since I made a minor fix and re-uploaded this ROM early on during v04. That's 1500 downloads on v04 alone. How many of them do you think use the hotspot mod? How many of them would have reported this didn't work? It works.

Edit: I went back and looked at your post history. It seems you have a lot of "unique to you" issues with various ROMs and/or mods. As I suggested above maybe try a different ROM with the hotspot mod and see if it works for you? Or maybe your phone has a hardware issue? In either case I've done as much as I can for you. If you have a logcat I'd be happy to look at it. Maybe we can find the answer there?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Iandv:
Maybe I should have stated that it doesn't work for me. I'd hate for you to believe that I'm bashing your rom when I desperately need help. The hotspot worked fine when I was on a stock rooted 4.1. Tried to install the stockish v04 for the galaxy gear compatibility, but I went into the bootloop. I had to Odin back to stock and let my phone do all of the updates naturally. From there, I installed stockish while following all the instructions after I rooted. I installed the new modem and kt kernal without hotspot success.

I agree, there's something wrong with my phone or it could be user error on my part. I haven't been on these boards for a while, so I was lost on how to get to 4.3 correctly so I just jumped in. Had to try again from the latest 100% stock firmware. I'm starting to think that rooting from the newest stock rom disables the native hotspot? I could be wrong.

I do have a sim card, does this interfere with anything? I thought it was odd that a sprint phone came with a sim card.

I can give you a logcat in a moment.

I really appreciate the help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Why would you Odin to stock and ACCEPT updates? Never...ever....accept OTA updates.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Iandv:
I odin back to stock because I was in a bootloop and the only way to get my phone working again is odin. I only had an hour to get to work with a working phone so I didn't do any research.

Why should I never accept an OTA? What would you recommend I should do now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jwhisl:
Hello I just flashed your rom on my phone and it went pretty well. I am looking for the Samsung app monitor widget and I can't seem to find it. Also I can't get any of the Wanam theme changes to stick. I haven't had a chance to really mess around with the software since I just installed it within the last hour but it feels quicker than stock!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Phone manufacturers are starting to lock their phones down more and more. More often than not OTA updates contain updates that discourage ROOTING and locked bootloaders. A quick XDA search will reveal that taking the OTA is NEVER a good idea. Ever.

In either case no real harm is done as if you did take the OTA you're now running a MK2 bootloader which contains Knox. And if you installed a recovery on that you just tripped Knox voiding your samsung warranty. This isn't the end of the world. Sprint insurance doesn't give two cents about whether knox is tripped or not.

Wiping this phone clean following the OP should still flash and work fine. Why it doesn't for you is beyond me. This is why I'd like to see a logcat AFTER you've flashed this ROM and attempted to turn on the hotspot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
The app monitor widget has been removed. You could always pull it out of the stock rom and set permissions to get it back.

Here's the thing, and I've said this before, no matter what you do to a ROM you cannot please everyone. So sometimes to get exactly what you want you'll have to take it upon yourself to make it happen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jwhisl:
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to sound like I'm complaining. I like the rom over all. I know everyone has their own preferences.
