A couple of "quirks"

The first time I installed v05 my keyboard had none of the press and hold key for symbols (were not even visible on the keyboard). This was on a clean install, wiped 2 times using Philz for a new ROM.

So I installed again, wiped 2 times using Philz for a new ROM. Keyboard is working correctly now and shows the symbols. Running just as the ROM was installed, no tweaks of any sort. Here's what I get that are abnormal to me:

1) Getting volume warning with earphones

2) Quadrant scores are way lower than v04 using default settings. +/-12000 v05 vs +13800 v04

So far all else is working okay.

This is just an FYI, no complaints, I don't really need the flashlight shortcuts so I may just go back to v04 as I think my phone likes it better.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Thats odd about your keyboard. The symbols were there for me first try. As for the speed difference try going back to the prior release of KTs kernel. True enough I made somw performance enhancemants like i/o tweaks with noatime, but I have scored my all time (and I'm willing to bet all time for these threads as well) high scores on this release. Before you downgrade the ROM try the older v04 kernel first. That's an easier diagnostic step.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
I'll give the v04 kernel a shot and see how it goes. A nand of v04 exists for me so it's not a big deal to go back. :)

Turbo Profile EACCES permission error.

Tried flashing the turbo profile in the OP and get this error. I believe this was brought up and I thought that zip was good to go. But it seems it's not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
Running v04 again, battery is better and my benchmark scores are back up to 13800+

May try v05 again tomorrow on another fresh install.

That worked!

I've tried to keep up with this thread but there is a lot to read. Thanks for pointing that out Rawintellect. :laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danster840:
I always just extracted the profile and pasted into the corresponding KTweaker folder, when I did that I avoided the permissions issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danster840:
Hey hey, this is a bench I did this morning before I passed out using a clean but few days old install of the v05 using a hardly modified Abyssplug v2 gov with stock zen i/o at 189~2054 mhz at stock voltages. Abyssplug mod in gov settings only change threshold to 70 from 95. GPU is simple @ 504 @ stock voltage. Read ahead both at 2048 and a few bells ringing and whistles blowing here and there. Not sure what could be causing your issue? Have you tried loading defaults in KTweaker then force closing the app manual y and clearing data then rebooting and re apply defaults then re apply your profile?

Edit: and auto-hotplugging on
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
This was just a minute or two ago, v04 all stock(ish).

I couldn't get that high on v05.

I'll play around wit v05 some tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.

Quick question......Every since I flashed v5, my HD videos I have on my SD card playback kinda leggy and choppy.. using any video player... is there some setting or script that may be causing this? They played just fine on v4......Any sugestions??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danster840:
Try in your KTweaker app, go to extra and set read ahead to 2048, both of them and give it a shot then
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Note the timestamps. These were all benchmarked back to back. Note the 15000 score in there. I didn't even reboot my phone like I normally do before benchmarking. I just picked up my phone and ran it back to back.

MK2 completelly with knox. I flashed the script to disable knox. I had the latest Philz and did all the wipe. And yes I waited for the phone to settle up to 20 minutes. I managed to made the force closes stop and the reboots but still hotspot didnt gave ip address at all. I ended up flashing the MK2 stock rooted only and left it that way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
The knox removal script(s) floating around simply remove the Knox 'apps' and not the bootloader. Once that is tripped, it's tripped and you cannot go back beyond MJA via full .tar.

If you use the latest Philz (one linked to by rawintellect in OP) you should have no problems with this ROM.

I followed his flashing instructions. Remember to 'reboot recovery' too, that is big.

On v04 I had problems with the turbo so I flashed the latest KT kernel and all worked.

Might want to try flashing again. Then flash the latest KT kernel, might clear up boot issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CCallahan:
Posting this hoping the info will help those coming to this from another rom. I know that some will disagree with me but after flashing this on two different S4 devices (and following the OP to the letter) this is what I recommend....

Using Philz obviously wipe 2-3 times and reboot recovery. Flash the rom and let it boot. Then, reboot back to recovery, wipe again a few times, and flash the rom again. For me this took care of any fc upon boot on both devices when coming from another rom and the hotspot worked fine.

Now when flashing from v4 to v5 just a few wipes and one flash worked like a champ. No fc and all works good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I switched zip programs in v05. I now use 7zip. I was using winzip. Maybe that had something to do with the FC errors. I never had one at all so it's hard to tell?:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danster840:
Woooooooooooo and with background apps! I got your rabies baby! This is with a play on that Abyssplug post a bit back. Voltage change and a new test using bfq again. I think the voltage change is what really did it. The rom optimization makes hotplug lag free and sleeps hard.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
Is that with your CPU over clocked with the turbo setting ? I needed a stock JB rom and flashed it. Had FC the first time did more wipes again and did it and it works fine now. I'm just still new to this so I have no idea how to get my phone 40,000 plus lol. I like the "light" feel compared to the original.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
Ok got it. Seems that everything is running well. The Turbo Z-Ram upon opening just says 'loading' for a very long time. Is this normal ?

Also when you release another version of this ROM can you just dirty flash over the existing one, or do you have to do a full wipe ? I'm guessing if you stay with MK2 4.3JB then it may not have any issues if it is just more tweak/mods upon the existing ROM, unless it is a new 4.4 version.....

update: loaded Turbo/Low Gear. Got force closes then the phone bootlooped.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jannmedia:
Instalation aborted

I did all the steps and every time will give me this message: " Installation aborted

Any solution?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CCallahan:
Know you said you followed the steps but did you reboot recovery before flashing?

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

Z-Ram on mine says loading for about 15 sec. while it loads the current settings then shows all current info.

I'm sure raw will put in the OP what is needed as far as wipe goes when a new version is posted. If it is recommended to do a full wipe then you can try just wiping cache but might end up with problems. I think so far a full wipe has been recommended when upgrading for an error free install.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
The Turbo/Low Gear profiles messed up my ROM. I had to wipe and do a nandroid restore. Not sure what was happening, but it caused a lot of force closes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jannmedia:
I did reboot recovery

I did reboot the recovery as u mentioned in the description exactly, and I did data/ factory reset as for installing a new ROM!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CCallahan:
Sounds like a bad download then. Did you check the MD5 and does it open in 7zip, Winrar, etc with no errors?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SPElectronics:
Flashed Stock(ish)v05 last night, and am enjoying it so far. The only issue I have is that Voicemail keeps telling me it needs to update, but it errors out while trying to download the update. Not a real big deal, other than the Voicemail icon keeps showing up, which is a little annoying.

One thing to mention, I am pretty sure that I have PhilzTouch 6.00.8 installed, and that is what I used to flash this Rom and it worked fine. No bootloop, no other issues to speak of (so far). Anything I should be concerned about because of this? Should I switch to PhilzTouch 6.08.9 and reflash the Rom after, just in case? I don't think I need to worry about it at this point, since it is working, and I hate to fix what isn't broke... Is there a way to tell which Philztouch is installed? When I go into recovery it just says Philztouch ver 6, but doesn't show anything more specific.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jannmedia:
Fixed

Wow found it, it was bad download.

Thanks a lot, going to try it now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
PhilZ touch seems to be the best custom recovery for me. I tried TWRP 6.3.2.0 and it has had a lot of problems restoring nandroids with touchwiz. 3rd party nandroids do not seem to be an issue with TWRP, but anything TW does not load correctly for me and bootloops. TWRP also sometimes gets stuck at the blue splash screen. I am not a fan of the interface of PhilZ, but it has not given me any issues and works 100% so I'm just keeping that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
If you flashed it fine then I wouldn't worry. But upgrading Philz doesn't mean you have to reflash the ROM. :)

As for the voicemail I have no control over that. That's the server the app is trying to connect to. My only advice is to keep trying.

Philz recovery does give you the version number. From the main menu click Philz settings. Then click about. It will tell you what version you have installed.

​
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I've honestly come to the conclusion that dirty flashing is just a headache. It works for me because I understand what a "dirty flash" is.

You can't just flash this over the existing ROM. It's hit or miss if you do.

When I dirty flash I wipe:

/system

/cache

/dalvik

/preload

then flash the new version.

You will not lose data if you don't wipe /data.

I've done it this way each time and I've had 0 problems. The only time I did a clean install (meaning I wiped /data too) was for v05 to pick up the csc edits for the flashlight toggle.

Again wiping /system doesn't make you lose data. It doesn't make you lose your desktop settings. You won't lose your folders or even your wallpaper. It really is the best and fastest way to upgrade this ROM.

And yes it takes a few seconds for turbo Zram to read in. It's normal.

Also while we're on the subject of profiles. Specifically the two you mentioned...those two profiles are EXTREMES. Turbo is an extreme in the fact that it is pushing your phone as far as it will go in clock speed. Low Gear is taking it the other way. Slowing down your phone to the bare minimum.

That being said, not all phones are created equal. You may have to do some fine tuning on your phone to get them to work. I'm probably going to put this in the OP as this is about the 4th time I've talked about this.

If you have to plug your phone in to reboot it, then your phone had TOO much voltage in it. Lower the voltage by 5 or 10 in KTweaker. If your phone simply rebooted and came back that's an UNDERVOLT. You need to raise your voltage by 5 or 10 in KTweaker.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SPElectronics:
Thanks rawintellect, I appreciate your responses.

I know upgrading Philz doesn't mean having to reflash the ROM, I was just asking if you thought I should go ahead and upgrade Philz and then reflash the ROM just to be 100% sure it was flashed properly, since your updated instructions said ONLY use Philz 6.08.9 now. I figured since it didn't bootloop that it was fine though, and was going to just wait and see if any issues develop down the line, and if that happened I'd start fresh again.

As far as the voicemail update goes, I was in a 4G zone earlier (we have very few of them here right now) and it finally took the update (after 2 additional attempts), so all is good there too. Anyone with the same issue should definitely just keep trying.

I definitely still had Philz 6.00.8, so at least we know that version worked ok to flash Stock(ish)v05 without bootloop issues. I do notice it takes longer to boot than stock did though. It sits at the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen for quite a while (a good 45 seconds or so) before it finally proceeds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
It doesn't sit at Samsung every time. I have scripts in place to do a vacuum of sql databases on every 4th boot. So you will have a longer than usual boot time every few reboots or so.

I know what you were asking. However for clarity let me state this: The ONLY version of philz I will support is the version I have in the OP. Which will change as I eventually test newer releases. If you're running an older release (or a different recovery entirely) I'm just not going to support it. As I've said earlier in this thread I have to draw a line somewhere and that's where it is. I simply won't troubleshoot any recovery I haven't tested on the current release of my ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SPElectronics:
Ok, that is good to know. I don't reboot very often, so I probably won't notice it much anyway.

I definitely understand the drawing the line, and not wanting to troubleshoot everything under the sun. As an electronics designer, installer, and repair tech I have a great deal of experience in that regard, and it gets very tiring.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
When you only wipe

/system

/cache

/dalvik

/preload

will this preserve all the apps ? I was looking in PhilZ and I cannot find the option to wipe system and preload, only dalvik and cache.

Re: the KTweaker. I'll try it again, but i will have to eyeball it prior to making the change. Once they are loaded in the phone went haywire and i could not close the program then re-open it again and adjust, so it behaved like a one time deal where I had to restore my nandroid.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Yes you will preserve your apps. The option to format /system and /preload is in mounts and storage. I'm really hoping you didn't dirty flash this from some other ROM. if you did you need to do a FULL WIPE. Including /data before installing this ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
No I didn't flash dirty but I really love this rom and I plan to continue to use it in the future but I don't want to reset everything like my apps and settings when you have a new version. I just want to plop the new version on my current set up and be good to go.

There are a few things that I didn't care for in terms of stock bloat and I took out greenify (didn't see a difference) but I still use the stock rom because of the phone features. Looking forward to the new version.

I'm going to try and get this kernel to work correctly at some point.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
You won't lose a thing wiping /system. Just wipe what i suggested and you will be fine. Trust me. I'm a professional ;)

As for greenify? Bad move. That app is your best friend. I suggest you read up on it. I didn't just include it in the ROM willy nilly. It is a very powerfull tool to kill rogue apps running in the background. Thereby freeing up resources and kernel wakelocks. Thus increasing speed and battery life.

True enough it's your phone. You can choose to run whatever you wish on it. Or remove what you want. I just want you to understand the ramifications of such actions. Ripping out things that I put in to make this a better ROM is like saying "Well I love reece's cups but man...I just had to throw that chocolate out...and the peanut butter!" What are you left with?

bottom line: If I put anything in here it's here for a reason.

Tried the newer v05 version, and flashed MK2 using the correct version of Philz. Still having issues with WIFI.

It lets me enable wireless, I can see the wireless networks and Im able to input my ID and password (ensured they are correct), and it shows its Authenticating, connected, and saved. Then it goes back to saying Authenticating, connected, saved. It keeps doing this repeatedly and never really connects. Then I tried the TW 4.3 KT kernel which didnt seem to make a difference, WIFI still "loops". I dont seem to have any issues on stock rooted 4.2.2 on MDC modem. I tried MDC modem for the hell of it and obviously that wont even let me turn on WIFI. Ive tried to wipe and flash all of this numerous times. I restored back to stock rooted 4.2.2 and MDC firmware and it connects to WIFI fine. Any further suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Unplug your device from your computer. Reboot it. Let it sit for a few mins. The swap files do not get used when your device is connected as a media device.

Also if you have a low swappiness (say 10 or 20) you never hit the threshold for the swaps to be in use. They will remain at 0 kb. Increase your swappiness (I preconfigure this with 100 swappiness for just this reason).

The attached screenshot was taken just now. Nothing is wrong with z-ram. It's working as designed.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
The reason is not that it's very difficult to add the toggle (I already added it to my phone. See the attached screenshot)...its easy in fact. Just a quick sqlite edit and reboot.

The issue is I have to also add it to the csc feature.xml so the toggle gets placed on a clean install. Note I said clean. Dirty flashing is a hit or a miss with csc edits. And I just asked everyone to clean install this ROM in v05 to pick up the 3 toggles I added.

So I'm thinking about it.

You should not have had to select anything. The first time that app opens you should never get a popup asking what type of zram you have.

You are going to have to wipe

/system

/cache

/dalvik

/preload

And reflash. This time give it a little time to set up zram on the first boot.

You won't lose your apps or settings wiping the above.
