Not sure what I've got going on, but the Turbo KTweaker profile totally bored my phone. Redraws every 10-15 seconds and reboot every 2 minutes. Wiped cache and dalvik, tried letting it sit for a half hour, nothing.

On the plus side, Low Gear 2 runs solid and the init.d fix eliminated the little bit of lag I noticed on certain tasks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
try loading Turbo...then lowering the GPU clock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
Clean flashes of the various ROMs have always been better for me. Some of the tweaks just don't seem to carry over into the new ROM if I don't wipe Data.

I know it says in the OP that v04 still supports a custom boot animation, but alas, I've tried putting my animation .zip in /system/media but only get the "android" animation. No biggie though, just saying.

No problem ever with Data, WiFi, phone or roaming. Just need to change the settings so I don't get the warning guard when I am. Still need to test my 4G LTE.

Other wise all smooth and fast.

Shout out to the OP. Great ROM and I love the first 3 posts (so helpful). I was on the same ROM for the last 6+ months and decided it was time to get up to date with everything. I changed recoveries and updated the firmware and some how that caused an issue where I couldn't boot the ROM I installed. I restored a backup and that worked and then I wiped everything again and followed the instructions in OP and it worked. I uninstalled a bunch of apps, did some tweaking and I checked out all these new apps OP included that I never used. Things seem to be settling in and I'll see how things go this week. I can tell the dedication OP has to this ROM. Keep up the good work!

Also a shout out to [MENTION=863124]fgr[/MENTION] and [MENTION=720351]leaderbuilder[/MENTION] for these posts here and here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
your animation file has to be named "bootanimation.zip"

Also it must conform to the size requirements for this phone example "1080 1920 16 (or whatever)"

Thanks, you'd think I could Remember to rename it...

LOL my bad :P I see you are using juice defender, do you think it helps enough to use it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I also use snapdragon's battery guru. I'll use anything that helps. It seems to help. It turns off my wifi and 3g/4g when it's not in use so that's a plus.

Hi, I just downloaded the ROM and tried to install.I followed the steps.Factory Reset/Wipe twice then install ROM using Philz Touch Recovery. The ROM installed and it gets to welcome page where it tells you to connect your WiFi & Google account.In the process of doing that I get a message saying phone has stopped working and it starts to run on easy mode. Im coming from Stock rooted MJA deodexed ROM running the MK2 Modem which I updated yesterday via odin.I will appreciate the help.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] edd247:
Same thing happened to me. I booted back to recovery, did a wipe data/factory reset, rebooted and then started over with no issues
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KUHawk:
This also happened to me. I was able to boot into recovery, re-wipe, re-install, and it did work the second time. I tried re-installing the ROM from scratch after that just to test and the exact same scenario played out. I was just coming now to XDA to alert [MENTION=1274198]rawintellect[/MENTION] when I saw your post.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Wipe it again. Then reboot recovery. Then flash the ROM. If you look at other ROM threads most of them ask you to reboot recovery after wiping twice and before flashing. Me? I've never had this happen to me so I don't ask for the reboot.

Also be sure you are using the same version of Philz linked in the OP.

It's the recovery folks. Not the ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KUHawk:
I am on the correct Philz and I know it's not the ROM. Just helping provide some insight as to what I did to get the ROM to boot properly. Every device is unique. Just because you can't reproduce an issue doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Great job with the ROM. It's working flawlessly through a full day of very heavy use on Low Gear.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Reread what I typed sir. I said that I personally have not experienced this issue. I never said it didn't exist. I have stated in this thread a few times I do not consider something an issue unless one of two things happens (1) Either I can reproduce it or (2) someone else can confirm it as a problem.

There have been about 800+ downloads of this ROM. That's 800 phones all slightly different. I even said in this thread I agree handsets aren't clones of each other.

I even acknowledged FC issues in my OP in the install instructions:

And thank you for the positive review of my ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] frostedunit:
With as many problems as people have had dirty flashing this, have you thought about adding a wipe script on install? It might help the people who only wipe once or aren't wiping at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:
Ok to update KT Kernel with OTA? Or just wait?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I considered it. Even if I mentioned that it does a full wipe in the OP, you can see by browsing this thread a bit that some people DO NOT read my OP. They just come in and flash. So the moment that I do include a full wipe is the moment someone comes in here saying "This wiped my data!!!"

Of course I could reply with "You didn't read the OP" but that will bring us right back to square one: aka people not reading the OP.

So I concluded I'd much rather have people get the opportunity to backup their data before flashing this than to come in here and complain that all their data is gone.

Either way is a slippery slope. I just chose the lesser of two evils.

Also making a seperate script that does format /cache /data /system /dalvik and /preload and android_secure would take exactly 2 mins. However then I would have to place the download link in the OP...which some people don't read. Annnnnd back to square one: people not reading the OP.

Finally you have to consider that Philz recovery seems to be having issues if you don't wipe twice and now...it seems a reboot back into recovery is required for a good flash. How do you solve that with a script?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Sure you can update KT's kernel. Either via the OTA or manually downloading. I do it all the time. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:
I more just wanted to make sure all the profiles would work on the new version. And about the OP thing, I atleast read it before every update, flashable fixes, updated isntallation notes for all the apps, see whats new in general etc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rrbailey89:
Just chiming in to say this exact thing happened to me also. And the solution was to wipe and reflash.

Tom working great now on V04
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I wish everyone did. In a perfect world that would be the case. But you have users on XDA with all different types of skill level coming in to developemt threads and doing dangerous things to their phones and not understanding why it isn't working properly.

For instance,

Yesterday in my PM box was an email from a user that claimed to have flashed my ROM and now it's setting off security scanners in every store he goes into.

I'm not making that up. That PM happened.

Now whether or not that person was trolling me or genuinely didn't know isn't the point. The point is someone has issues. And that person with issues is blaming me. I try very hard to deal with every known issue in my OP. And it frustrates me to no end when someone just skips past it. Especially when I consider the hours (no days really) that I spent crafting it to make it as helpful as I can.

In fact the OP and my ROM are running neck and neck with the amount of time I spend on them.

P.S. I put that person on ignore. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:
The OP is quite detailed and with all the app installation guides and flashables fixes, that could make sense. funny actually the day I clean installed I must have rebooted from recovery 5 times forgetting to put things on my SD :P like the flashable fixes and profiles.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danieliyo:
I tried a couple of times and keep having the same issue.first time I wiped twice and rebooted recovery and it still happen.yesterday I update the recovery to the latest version.it could be that like you said.ill try when I get home.

Thanks

Noob View On This ROM

I've only been rooting for a few months. This is the third ROM I've tried. One thing I did was read the entire thread before I rooted. This let me know what you expect and what fixes there were. Then I followed the instructions from the original OP. One thing I would say to anyone installing this ROM (or any other ROM): don't dirty flash if you can help it. Do a fresh install. Backup your data with Titanium Backup or what ever you like and install fresh. This eliminates a lot of issues. As far as this ROM goes: This is a great ROM. Fast. Stable. Easily customizable. Great work!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] efipaul:
Mine did the same thing with rebooting and going into easy mode. I re-wiped and re-installed and it kept doing it.

Finally I re-wiped, re-flashed, and let the phone sit. It got to the language select screen and I just let it sit. It re-booted again on its own after a minute or two, and now it's working fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DanM66:
I have used the ROM and it works great, I have enjoyed V2-V4 but had to move back to the plain stock ROM since I cannot figure out why I cannot connect to my work WIFI running this ROM, even trying different Kernels. Anyway, wish I could run this all the time, great ROM, great support.

I similarly had trouble getting V4 to start right so did similar install as EfiPaul listed above and it works great, just the WIFI issue with only my work WIFI but this is a show stopper when I don't get data at all at work where my office is located :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
You tried different kernels but did you try unknownforce's modified stock kernel? Also run this by KToonsez as that's the kernel I'm running. This ROM has no bearing on WiFi connectivity. It's the kernel that determines this. I did add some WiFi/Mobile performance tweaks in the build.prop but that wouldn't prevent you from connecting. It MIGHT cause issues with data transfer but not the actual connection made from your work's router to your phone.

here is every WiFi tweak in the build.prop:

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180 <---how often it scans for new AP

net.tcp.buffersize.wifi=262144,524288,1048576,262144,524288,1048576 <---tcp size

ro.wifi.channels=14 <---- increases the WiFi channels to 14 mostly this is for Europe as the US doesn't use channels 13&14 but still has no bearing on what channel your phone finds on your work router. The very fact that your phone sees the router negates this as a possible problem.

And that's it. None of these affect your actual connection. What wireless network encryption does your work use? wpa? wpa2? wep?

I also looked at my init.d scripts and they basically do the same tweaks above...which I've just commented out. So thank you for inspiring me to revisit that. I fixed this in V05. But again that's just more redundant init.d code. It's not the cause of your problem. :)

Finally have you tried other custom ROMs? If so which ones? What kernel were they running?

P.S. Everyone please note the reboot recovery I've included in the installation instructions in the OP and the "Installation notes" section. This should correct any recovery issues when flashing this ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DanM66:
Yes, I figured the Kernel and have tried unknownforce's modified stock kernel as well as tried loading KToonsez's kernel independently. Neither fixed the problem I am currently running Stock 4.3 MK2 w/root by runwithme and although a fine ROM I really enjoy the tweaks of this one. I will run my wifi problem by KToonsez as well and see if anything comes from that.

My work LAN is EAP with EAP method as PEAP and Phase 2 authentication as MSCHAPV2. They are login required in the setup (network username and password).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ophbalance:
This happened to me as well. Might not be a ROM thing, but more of an odd android startup thing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Have you tried to manually add the AP with EAP encryption/PEAP method and Phase 2 set to MSCHAPV2?

I also found this doing a bit of XDA searching ;)

In this thread a user suggested (in german, so I translated for you)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Did you flash the 12.13.13 release? That was the one I was hoping would fix that issue.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
The WiFi fix isn't a problem. That doesn't flash any *.odex files. So here is the link. The HotSpot mod however flashes services.jar. This is located in /system/framework. It has a corresponding odex file on odexed roms called services.odex. I'm not comfortable with just putting this in a zip as I can't test it on my deodexed ROM. If crawrj doesn't make one for MK2 I'll get around to it eventually.

My pleasure.

On a different note, when I went to open Titanium Backup this morning, I found out that Root was gone. I'm sure it was working after the original flash, but I'm not sure if it was working after I flashed the modem. I do remember being surprised by a push update that rebooted the phone, shortly after I updated the modem. I was almost in a panic as I went to check to make sure I still had the MF9 bootloader, which I did still have.

I flashed SuperSU 1.80 from Philz and all is good again.

http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Yep that is exactly what I would recommend. reflashing supersu. I'm not sure exactly what happened? When I flashed the modem I had no issues. Of course when I flashed it I was still on a MJA ROM. But as soon as I upgraded to my ROM I still didn't have a problem. Odd indeed! I'm glad you were able to recover!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jonmcginnis:
Just a note to support the great work you've done...

For those who are just flashing the WiFi fix over the original release, Philz recovery is very cool. It warns of "possible loss of root" after flashing this fix or some other mods and gives the option to fix/repair root before powering down...which I did opt and all was well.

For grins, today I flashed the latest 12/13 released ROM you posted and it's running perfectly. Lovin' it. Thanks for this...I travel in a couple of days and am so glad this is done and running smooth. Cheers to RawIntellect and all contributors! You rock!

Do this rom have increasing ringer removed? Also is the issue with folders not closing fixed?

Love the 90s good times
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] us3rX:
I am sure this has been said before, but if you need testers for the hotspot mod standalone zip, for those on completely rooted stock MK2, I am more than willing to give it a shot. =)

Thanks for all the hard work. XD
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
No it doesn't have increasing ringer removed. Unfortunately the folders still do not close. MK2 was a VERY minor update to the way the phone sleeps. Nothing else was changed between MK2 and MJA. This ROM is 99% stock. I'm trying to keep it that way for other developers to use as a base.

I added what I call "necessary mods" to this and I plan on adding more. But nothing drastic. Just things I've found that should be in the stock ROM already. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] E The Magnificent:
I can dig it. Thanks for the reply. I hate increasing ringer I miss way to many calls cause of it.

Love the 90s good times
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Wanam Xposed can turn off increasing ringer for you. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KUHawk:
Coming from stock, rooted, odexed MJA with MJA firmware and MF9 bootloader. Followed directions in OP, flashed the 12.13 "latest version", all flashed well but I simply could not turn on wifi. Went to Unknown's firmware page and ODINed to MK2 firmware. Wifi returned. I am setting everything up from scratch (I never trust data restore) and I will report back with any issues. As of now, all is good. Thank you, [MENTION=1274198]rawintellect[/MENTION]!

BTW...how can I check the version of my bootloader? I would like to be able to confirm that I am still on MF9.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] E The Magnificent:
I wish someone would post a how to or a zip to turn this useless feature off.

Love the 90s good times
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Darn it! I thought I had that fixed. Oh well. I'll update the OP stating that the MK2 modem is REQUIRED for WiFi compatibility.

As for checking your bootloader version you can use an app called "device info" available in Google play. As you can see in the attached screenshot I'm still on MDC.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Ok.

1. Go here. Download Xposed Installer.

2. Go here. Download Wanam Xposed.

3. Open Xposed Installer.

4. Click on "Framework"

5. Click Install/update (check that the current version is at least 47)

6. Reboot your phone.

7. Open Wanam Xposed.

8. Click phone.

9. Check "Disable increasing call ringer"

10. Reboot your phone again.

That's it. I've attached screenshots for your reference.

Wanam Xposed allows you to modify your phone in MANY ways. Xposed installer also offers MANY modules for customization.

KTweaker somehow roached my modem !?

I'm sure I must have done something to deserve this, though I don't know what: Went into KTweaker and changed a few speed settings / governors, and all of a sudden the phone started rebooting each time within 2 minutes of the previous reboot. Resetting KTweaker's defaults and rebooting didn't help, nor did wiping /cache/data/system/ and flashing stock(ish)v4 again. Then I noticed that formatting /preload was failing (everything else worked fine) during the wipes. Finally reformatted that from adb, and it STILL didn't help. So I did the only thing that was left and bootloaded the MK2 modem again from odin, and everything was suddenly fine and dandy. Now that what I call a dangerous program!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I wouldn't blame KTweaker so much as the reboots themselves. Just like when you improperly shut down your PC (or MAC lol) you risk data corruption. I'll even take some of the blame if you were tweaking the Turbo profile trying to get it to run faster. The Turbo profile (unlike Low Gear and Low Gear 2) is the cumulative sum of my knowledge in KTweaker. It's literally a "balls to the wall" profile. It's a result of MANY reboots. I'd venture to say hundreds. I've spent many hours (I'd give you a rough guess but I'm sure you wouldn't believe it) tinkering with it to get the most out of our phone I could.

During my attempts at overclocking our phone to the max I've borked just about every partition there is with the exception of /firmware and /firmware-mdm. I've had to do all kinds of things to get my phone working again.

The result? I still have yet to see someone break my quadrant score (including myself) of 14800. I've come close MANY times. The attached screenshots are benchmarks I just took while typing this out. one is 14500 the other is 14700. I'm using the same Turbo profile as in the OP. Nothing is changed. I really do believe that profile simply cannot be improved. We've hit the "speed limit". Since I'm probably going to spark a "speed war" by posting these be warned: Multiple back to back quadrant runs using the Turbo profile WILL (not might) cause your phone to reboot. You will then have to plug it in to reboot it because of the overvoltage.

But fear not Turbo is totally fine to run as your daily. I run it all the time.

Finally as I said before don't blame the gun if you shoot yourself in the foot :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:
Yeah, in quadrant more times then not on turbo mine would black screen. its amazing while in regular use but the quadrant testing puts it overboard for my device atleast, it works great as a daily setup if you dont check your benchmarks ever/often.
