[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
It worked perfectly. I had to do a lot to test this lol!

I had to:

dust off my old evo 4glte

remove my otterbox defender cases from both devices.

remove my zero lemon 3000 mah battery (I just don't trust it for NFC...I'll retest to see if it works) from my SGS4.

update root explorer on both devices.

then I selected a file in root explorer

it asked me to touch the screen to send.

I did.

and it sent the file successfully.

I did have to turn the devices upside down and back to back in regards to each other to get them to see each other.

What errors are you getting? is one phone going to google play? I do know (from just testing with it lol...I'm not a pro) that you seem to have to have the same app active on both phones to send the file. so if you're sending something from root explorer you need to have root explorer open on both devices or it will open the play store for you to attempt to have you install the missing application.

I honestly don't know why you're having this issue. I'm running v05 for this test and it did work. See attached screenshots.

EDIT: with my zero lemon battery in NFC is just not working. But I kind of saw that coming. Aftermarket batteries don't fare well with NFC.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
This is not related to the ROM but just a general question regarding PhilZ. Do you ever get assert errors when flashing other 3rd party ROMs ? I didn't know if it is an issue with PhilZ or the ROM itself. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
An assert error 7 is due to an incompatibility with the ROM and the recovery. LIke say if you're using philz latest 6.12 to install this ROM it's not going to work. I am working on it though. I updated my updater-binary and cleaned up my updater script. I finally got it to flash however mobile data isn't working when using 6.12 to flash.

If I flash the EXACT same ROM using 6.08 it works. perfectly.

At this point I don't have a lot of solutions. I could use aroma as I'm told that works. But recoding my edify script for AROMA is a task I'd rather put off for another day if I could.

There's more technical info that I don't think is appropriate for this thread such as set_metadata and set_metadata_recursive replacing set_perm and set_perm_recursive. You'll just have to trust me. :)

in short do not use philz 6.12.8 to flash this ROM. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
Weird. I recently loaded philz new version but I still have the old 6.0.8 I can re flash on the phone. I had assert errors on some Cyanogenmod ROMS and other 3rd party ROMS and was not sure on the compatibility. When you change over I will reload the 6.12 and just keep it till then. The 6.08 has had some recognition issues though with other ROMS.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
Thanks [MENTION=1274198]rawintellect[/MENTION] I've not had to have the gallery open or file explorer open on both phones on the stock ROMs. But it is working on v05 now when I do. Everyone else in my household has Galaxy S3's. Just an extra step we didn't have to go through before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
S Beam is just not working right for me. It is hit or miss with v05, but works fine with a Stock MK2, this is going across to a GS3 running a Stock MK3 ROM. Not a big deal though I can always get photos into my computer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rrbailey89:
I tested S Beam with my wifes stock unrooted S4. Her phone was at the home screen. I was able to beam a picture just fine. I was also able to beam a PDF file that I had open in polaris office. What issue are you having exactly so I can attempt to replicate it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CCallahan:
Hey guys/gals don't forget to hit raw's thanks button for taking the time to help you. There are a lot of rom creators that don't mess with posting in their thread because it is very time consuming to work on the rom and continually help users in the thread. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
For those having performance issues with v05 I think I found out what could be causing it. I'll post a flashable zip later today.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
Do you have Bravia 3 in this ROM as well ? I saw that Bravia 2 is for the pictures, but Bravia 3 is for video.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I listed patching Bravia for movies in my latest changelog.

Just out of curiosity, does this ROM have issues with loss of Google account from time to time?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
No.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Ok guys...for those that feel v05 has been a little sluggish please flash this:

v05_Performance_Fix.zip

It should act a little more like v04. It's a band-aid and will require me re-basing from v04 to fix it permanently but this should get you by for a while. I'll update the OP with it as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
This is the only TW ROM I have flashed that has

not

lost my Google accounts.Not even once. I think on some of the others there are issues with multiple tweak apps [3Minit, Xposed, lindroid etc.] competing with eachother, and Aroma that seem to kill Google account. But what do I know.

Anyways, give it a spin and see how it works for you. [MENTION=1274198]rawintellect[/MENTION] put together and freaking great ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ophbalance:
I've not lost google services ever on this ROM either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] perezmarka:
My phone is working great but I am wondering about the setup of other phones on this ROM. The OP shows an image with Stock(ish)V4 using Ktoonsez Kernel 1.05.2014. Since the kernel gets updated every few weeks, as does this ROM (many thanks for that Rawintellect), what is the protocol with "ROM" to "Kernel" version? At the time of this writing, the newest kernel came out today (v2.05.2014). Is it recommended to upgrade or is there a recommended kernel version for this ROM? Kernel 1.23.2014 was out when Stock(ish) v05 came out but I'm still using Kernel v1.17.2013. What kernel version do you think works best for you? Thoughts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Feel free to use KTweaker to update the kernel at any time. Or use any kernel that is compatible with this ROM.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] lcovel:
Ive been running this ROM for a few days now and absolutely love it. I am a moderate/light user and easily get 36 hours of usable battery for calls, web surfing and a few random games. The thing that I cant seem to find out is if this is an AOSP or Touchwiz ROM. Someone please give me a clue on how to figure it out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] neno2323:
Touch wiz
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] lcovel:
Thanks Neno.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
ha ha! Those lines will begin to blur more in the future :)

While I vow to never truly theme this ROM out, I am trying to put in as many options as possible. One of them is an AOSP "pie"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
How did you get your phone like that raw intellect? Did you use a theme ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I did indeed. Black chrome by cerj. and a few more mods :)

I'm not against themes. I'm just against pushing MY theme on others. I think you should be able to make this ROM look the way YOU want. Not the way that I think looks best.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
I currently have the red theme on mine. I like that picture also. I've had a hard time finding pictures in the galaxy s4 dimensions that are hd
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danster840:
Did you guys theme using the xposed module?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I've used various methods of theming to accomplish what I wanted.

I used xposed, cerj's theme, my own pics, and more. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
I flashed the black chrome. It had blue in it. I wanted the all black without the blue so I flashed the black chrome first then the black chrome universal and all the zip files for the wifi bars and battery. The phone bootlooped. Is there a black chrome theme without the blue ? I didn't understand in the instructions the "update" file cerj's thread said

---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 AM ----------

I double checked. I have the 4.3 black chrome Sac and 4.3 universal which I flashed after the sac version. The ROM got stuck on the android boot screen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
@ rawintellect let me know if you need any testers for finalizing anything. I'm game.

Especially since I lost two SD cards (with my backups apps and settings stuff) and now have to flash all my ROMs again from scratch. :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I would think this question should be asked in cerj's thread. ;)

I tried installing this ROM multiple times tonight (v05). Every time said it failed and something about set_perm ___...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Use ONLY the release of Philz recovery in the OP please. Do not use 6.12. Thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rtwrobert10:
Thank you. Sorry for asking about this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] aktran9:
No hotspot

I don't see hotspot when installing v05. This is on unactivated sprint l720. How can i enable this? I'm using pageplus and this rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I don't think it's possible to even use the hotspot on an unactivated phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] lcovel:
Pretty slick. Looking forward to trying out AOSP Pie when you add it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dreamer609:
Some issues I am having with v5...

I think overall the ROM is really quite amazingly good and I love the pre-made turbo setting. Also, I did flash the performance fix for v5, that you put out, that did actually help out with some sluggishness I was experiencing. Thank you very much for that. I look forward to other improvements that you make in the future of this very good ROM. And I appreciate your efforts.

That being said, I am still encountering some issues on v5. I am still having a slight problem with the with the native ad blocking feature on the ROM. It is blocking less photos and meme posts off facebook and other websites, but still blocking some. I did read the OPs instructions on how to update it, but I cannot find the "adaway app," if it was included in the ROM, to update. Is this something I need to download from another source, install, and then update the file?

Also, it still has some issues with Swiftkey keyboard on v5 (I have not tried Kii Keyboard as of yet, but I would guess the same problems). It's not as bad, but I suspect it will get worse, as I think it did the last time I installed it on v4. It forces the cursor to go back to the end of beginning of the word if you place it in the middle to edit a word, and I notice that it automatically retypes words at times, and at times, it will randomly go back a space and mess up a word you are typing out key by key. If I go very slow, this happens less, but I never had this issue on my S3.

And lastly, I have no idea if this is caused by a ROM ( I have my suspicions that it is not), I am having great difficulty getting a micro SD card to be recognized. It won't even light up to allow you the option of mounting it. I have tried several different brands and specifications. Mostly of class 10 and UHS-1, but still no go. I have tried SanDisk, Monster, and Samsung. I have tried to format it to FAT32 on the computer and NTSF, but still no luck.

Any help or suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Adaway: Click me.

Adblocking: Adblocking isn't really a mystery. There's a list of "blocked web sites" contained in /system/etc/CrossBreeder/dnrd_root/master. If any website pulls in pics from another site matching ANYTHING on this list it gets blocked. On your desktop PC right click on the image in question and see what website that image is coming from. Then check that list I just mentioned for a match. If it's in that list DELETE IT. You have now allowed that image to load.

Keyboard issue: Is anyone else having this problem? I can't reproduce it? Are you using a custom DPI? what are your touchscreen sensitivity settings? What happens on a stock ROM? What happens with other keyboards? I suspect you may have a hardware issue. You can't really compare this phone to an S3. It's not.

SDCARD: Not an issue. I'm using a sandisk class 10 64GB card on this phone I've had since launch. Not a single issue with sdcards at all. If anyone else is having an sdcard issue this is the first I've heard of it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] AlpineMan:
What's involved in disabling native ad blocker if a user wants to use Adaway instead? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
Do you have to manually update the native adblocker ? I also noticed several ads coming through. What does the performance zip address ? The ROM does feel sometimes sluggish at time, but I usually just clear the RAM then at that point
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
To be blunt: use a different ROM. I would much rather see you use a different ROM that's compatible with adaway than strip down this ROM to make it work with adaway. Which I then won't support.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
The instructions for updating this rom's master host file are listed in the OP. The performance degredation was due to some init.d scripts not executing. The zip corrects this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
Thanks I got it working. I've been trying different ROMs and some have been from different carriers. One in particular was a T-Mobile ROM, but another Google Edition ROM here seemed to be from a different carrier as well. I flashed the ROM, then a Sprint kernel however I still have not been able to get it to work. The ROM in particular I am trying to get to work is for a i9505 phone.. Do you have any possible suggestions ? Thanks.

Edit: What I mean by not working is the ROM is freezing, and there is no signal/wifi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DanM66:
No, I have only gotten it to work on the rooted MK2 ROM, which is not custom at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
After tweaking the settings in Ktweaker, I am tuning in to the sweet spot for my phone. I've tried so many profiles that just wouldn't improve my Quadrant scores without crashing my phone.

So things are good for me in this ROM from the rabbit hole :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Awesome score! When you get to 15252 let me know :D! Seriously though thats an awesome score. Performance tuning in the extreme (either very fast or very slow for battery) really is an individual thing. You have to tailor other peoples profiles to your phone.

Great job

Hiya, I just tried this rom out for the first time, and I followed the directions to the punctuation. But I'm having 2 NOTICABLE problems, one it didn't come with some apps it said in the description, for example dolphin or ES, and the 2nd one would be that the battery life is just, really bad, I unplugged it this morning, went to the bathroom, came back and it hadn't been touched and all apps were closed, and it was already at 90% within 5 minutes :( I like this rom so help would be appreciated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
If everything didn't install, then I would say you had a bad flash when it installed. Did you check the MD5 sum after you downloaded the ROM? I would suggest checking the MD5 sum first, if it matches try installing the ROM again fresh like you did the first time. I know it's a pain, but that's the best way to insure a good installation.

That's my 2 cents (which by the way is worth $37 and change).

Also...if you didn't wipe fully (including /data) you're going to experience all kinds of issues. ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND once again use ONLY the recovery in the OP. Not Philz 6.12 or 6.13 for that matter.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Giston141:
I'm not sure how to do that. I've been flashing toms for like 3, 4 years and I've never done that.

Yes I followed the directions completely. Flashed the exact recovery in the op. The exact mk2 file and all that. Did the 2 factory resets. 2 Clean up for new rom. Restarted recovery. Then flashed.

Here is an MD5 checker that is easy to use and can be integrated into your operating system to check files on the go. Been using it "fo-eva".

I use this on Windows

Here is another option.

Also

What? Hope you're just talking about the firmware (modem).

Because otherwise there is no file to extract. Just flash the zip(s).

Also after wiping

TWICE

MAKE SURE YOU REBOOT RECOVERY BEFORE YOU INSTALL ROM.

Good luck
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DJDotkom:
Lost Data connection when Installing... any suggestions!?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
post a recovery log please.

I suspect you're using philz 6.12 or higher which I've said MANY times over you cannot use. Until you post it I cannot help you. (patiently waits for the next person trying to use 6.12+ to install this ROM)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Longball:
I'm so glad I asked you about the new Philz recovery a few pages back !!! I never installed it and version 5 is working well for me thanks to your advice and directions on how to flash this terric ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Philz 6.12 and 6.13 are geared for KitKat installations. This isn't kitkat. It will work on aroma installations but I defy anyone to try to install even the STOCK rom with philz 6.12 or 6.13. It won't work.

Quite simply phil has made a few changes to accommodate kitkat.

I have three choices:

(1) I can update this ROM to an aroma installer (which is MAJOR WORK)

(2) I can wait for a KitKat base to rebase this ROM

(3) I can listen to people ignoring my installation instructions and keep telling them that 6.12 or 6.13 will simply NOT work with this ROM.

I'll choose option 3 for now. I think I'll just copy paste this in every response to a person ignoring my OP.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
Did you check the MD5sum of the file you downloades?

Did you clean flash as per OPs instrucions. - Right version of Philz, two wipes of each kind and reboot recovery before flashing ROM?

Did you let it settle after first boot for a few minutes?

Did you apply the V05_Performance)Fix? And how and when?

Did you flash or enable any other mods? - New kernel and/or kernel tweaks?

What are you using to reboot? ROMs restart(powerbutton)menu, Xposed or some other app?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
I did follow all instructions and used the proper version of philz to flash the performance zip. Furthermore I've just been having periodic errors with the s-beam as well.

MOD EDIT: Post cleaned of Off Topic rant.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I guess I'm backed into a corner with philz latest...sooooooooooo

I've put together a prototype AROMA installer just to test out the install with Philz new recovery version 6.12 and 6.13. It works! Perfectly. I installed v06 just now and everything is working.

But it's

UGLY

lol. A full aroma install package is going to take me some time guys...so while I can't say when...it's coming.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
Hmm, I don't know. I've just not had those issues. In fact yesterday I decided to do a complete fresh install of V.05 to clear up issues caused by my constant tweaking and moving between ROMs. I did multiple wipes on every partition. And though it takes me a good deal of time to get my system personally setup after the initial install it's been freaking bulletproof.

On the S-Beam I've only used that a couple times and that was on earlier builds.

Maybe rawintellect has some answers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
Stock(ish) - Not fully stock, it is stock(ish)

S Beam is/has been quirky for me too on this ROM. It is something I can live without, so it's not important to me. If it something you have to have, move on to a more stock type ROM. I don't need all the bells and whistles, but I do want a smooth fast ROM, from all the ones I've tested, Stock(ish) is the ONE. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] theHoleK:
I installed your ROM and have lost the mobile network. There is a green circle with a checkmark that says "preparing network" and the pull down menu says searching for service. How do I resolve this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Because I've replicated that particular problem with philz 6.12 and 6.13 and this ROM. I have installed this MANY times trying to work around this issue. And if you're not running 6.12 or 6.13 kindly post a recovery log.
