I'm not misunderstanding you at all and I hope you don't misunderstand me. I simply cannot make everyone happy. It can't be done. But I did show you how you can get it back. The link to the stock ROM is in my OP. Download it, extract the app monitor apk to /system/app. Set permissions correctly using root explorer and reboot. and it's back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Iandv:
That makes a lot of sense. The super user app did say that I won't have full root capabilities. I checked with root checker, and it appeared to work. So it seems like I have to disable or get rid of this knox bootloader. I wiped and cleaned for a new rom three times. Seems like it didn't wipe the knox. Seems like every update requires it's specific directions. I haven't been on here so long and several hours of researched only gained me little. Everything has changed. Here is a logcat if your interested.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Iandv:
I checked out spiricore's guide. I'm just going to start from the beginning and do it the correct way from the start. All this useful info wasn't here when I tried to update to 4.3. Now I know where to start. Thanks for the advice, it was a big help. I hate for you to waste your time on my mistakes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Well you can't get rid of MK2 bootloader. That's the rub. Once you've done it...you've done it. This is why taking the OTA is very bad. As of right now (and people are working on it) you cannot downgrade bootloaders.

I've looked at your logcat (it's very brief) and really couldn't determine much that's going on with your phone. Have you tried other custom ROMs? I haven't really seen you post in any other Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 ROM threads. I'm curious to see if this works on another ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Iandv:
What if I'm able to odin back to 4.1, would that downgrade the bootloader? I'm sure someone has tried. Maybe worth a shot. I would like to use this rom but I could try others. I just need to download the files at work. I want the rom to be close to stock as possible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:
I am on the MJA knox bootloader and the ROM runs great. right now there is no way of going back to MF9 bootloader. It's not the end of the world you tripped knox and shouldn't have to do with your issues here. I think your focusing on knox being the problem a little to much
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
It won't downgrade the bootloader. And yes the focus shouldn't be on knox. That's not causing your issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Nick123194:
hey rawintellect I'm loving the rom, however the only problem I'm having is when I try to connect to my college's public wifi it will not connect for some odd reason. It would scan, try to connect, search for the IP and repeat. But besides that this rom is pretty solid. :)

P.S. What did you do to improve earpiece quality in this rom by the way? I was trying out sac's rom and everything was great but the earpiece quality during calls was weak.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ophbalance:
I had this happen as well. It would appear to turn on, but the icon didn't show in the status bar. I changed several of the advanced settings and it eventually started working. Try changing every setting available, including the amount of allowed devices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Search this thread for PEAP. Tell me what you find? Then search XDA for PEAP and tell me what you find?

The ear quality is improved in the build.prop.

Google searching this PEAP issue reveals this page which states:

Google play store link for the above mentioned app is here.

In short I don't have a PEAP connection to test or solve this issue. Searches do wonders.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Iandv:
Did you ota the knox bootloader too? Can you tell me what exact settings you set? Ive tried at least 25 combinations.

My Hosts files keeps being reset about every hour. I don't see a script in init.d that is doing it. Where else might something be hiding that is causing my changes to the HOSTS file to be overwritten?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Are you trying to use a 3rd party ad blocker? I state in the op that you cannot do this. You can use apps like adaway to update the native host file. But you cannot use them to block ads.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] vMAC:
I am trying to add a local server to my hosts file. I went to /etc/hosts and updated the file.

If I go to the post you reference above, it tells me to download the app (which I did). I then walked through the steps as you stated, however Step 5 does not pop up.

So what I want is to add my own local IP to my hosts file, and to be able to update the rest of the entries occasionally. How would I go about doing that? Do I leave AdAway installed? Do I have to edit it manually? If so where do I go to edit it so that it will stick?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
How did you enhance the jpeg quality and sony bravia imaging set up ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Adding your own local server is essentially attempting to use your own ad blocker. I'm not going to support it. The native ad blocking works as designed. As for step 5 not appearing? I get the simlink warning and say no to it every time. I just did it right now and my master host file is current.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] alexnaoumi:
how did you edit it in the systemui.apk? i edited the build prop but my lockscreen still rotates
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Sorry but this isn't a thread dedicated to how to develop your own ROM. You can find out how to edit apks all throughout XDA. Just do a little searching and prepare to spend many hours learning the ins and outs.

This kind of question is exactly why I really didn't want to get into editing the build.prop in the first place. And why I choose to not answer the question about Bravia imaging engine. I'm not much of a teacher and this isn't a how to thread.

I designed this ROM really for personal use but decided to share it with XDA. I'm just not up for having people edit my apks (or build.prop for that matter) and essentially change things in my ROM and still walk around with a stock(ish)vxx label on it. And then come back in here and ask for support for changes they made to this ROM.

Sorry but I'm NOT dismissing you. I really hope you understand that. But if you're game for developing your own ROM (and supporting it) I wish you all the luck in the world sir! :highfive:

But this is as far as I'm prepared to go down that road. If the build.prop change isn't working for you perhaps a different ROM will work for you?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] alexnaoumi:
I understand, I just thought it was something as simple as opening a file within the apk and editing some text. It isn't a deal breaker for me, so I'll just live with it. This is a great ROM and I do appreciate the work you've put into this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
One thing you CAN check however is Wanam Xposed. Check to see if you have the lockscreen rotation enabled there. If it is...disable it. It's the reason I included the app. Sooooo many things you can change on your own.

P..S. the apk you would edit is framework-res.apk (I'm pretty sure I typed the SystemUI.apk reply during one of my 48hr runs with no sleep haha) and if it's not done correctly I hope you have a good backup. ;)

Almost Hate to Reply

I know from reading through this thread that you have all kinds of problems with this ROM. I will tell you that in fact you can get Call Recording to work with this ROM. Your question was answered a while back.

I followed the instructions in the thread SixSixAtl posted and it works, it works with all the ROMs I've tried.

Sorry that you have so many problems, I do feel for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Coming soon to a stock(ish) ROM near you. The flashlight toggle (among other goodies I've been working on).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
He was told this answer before within this thread. He chose to ignore it. I'm going to give up trying to help him. Asking the same question over and over in a ROM thread when most of the issues he's had with this ROM (with the exception of his e-reader issue) could have been solved in the

ORIGINAL support threads for each of his problems.

It literally took days for him to finally wipe the /data partition to correct his missing hotspot/roaming issue. The only thing I can do at this point is hope he finally finds the answers he seeks in the

respective threads

rather than just coming in here and blaming my ROM. Be it the kernel or wanam or any other app within this ROM.

If you review his post history you'll see he has a lot of problems that have nothing to do with this ROM.

I'm sorry guy. I just give up. You won't let me help you so I'm done trying. Good luck to you sir! :fingers-crossed:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
Hey raw, hopefully that won't sour you too much on your great work here.

Many, me especially, appreciate your work, sharing and support!

I know how frustrating it is when people just won't follow suggestions or worse ignore them, not search and then continue to whine.

I do my best to help others while I can with what little time I have right now, but you man,

litterally putting together a great working ROM

, then sharing it here(!) is a whole other level of freaking awesomeness.

Just wanted to say THANKS!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Thank you sir! It'll take more than one person to sour me. :) I really do enjoy helping others! :) It's just frustrating when someone won't help you help them.

I mean yes I could easily just paste the answers to his questions in this thread. In fact I have a few times. Most recently I gave him step by step instructions on increasing voltage in KTweaker. Even though you and I know that info is available in KT's thread.

But that's not really teaching him to use XDA is it? I'd much rather show him how to obtain the answers he desires. But apparently that's not what he wants. He wants all the answers right here. I'm not really coming down on the guy. I just hope he reads this and it motivates him to use XDA to it's full potential.

"Give a man a fish you feed him for the day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

P.S. I'll probably drop v05 later today or tomorrow at the latest. I'm just shaking it down.

Call Recording information.

I did some research, I see the links I used don't work.

Here's a quick and dirty on it, if you have a newer bootloader than MF9, you are currently SOL for getting it to work. Again this is not the fault of the ROM.

Force closes, easy setups on when clean wipe and many issues

I have follow the steps exactly with the recovery recommended and each time I reboot i get different errors. The phone was at MK2 prior any rooting. I have:

Wipe three times, reboot recovery and flash rom

Redownload rom.

Re flash a stock mk2 rom and start all over.

I keep getting force closes followed by reboots. At first the phone was ok but hotspot wasnt working to I wipe and reflashed and now im stuck at these issue.

Any help?

I never had an issue with hotspot ;) I think your confusing me with someone else. e-reader and the weird data issue yes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
[MENTION=2330512]lilizblack[/MENTION]

Are/where you on the MK2 completely (baseband AND knox bootloader)? or just the baseband/modem.

Did you use the very latest Philz (from the OP)? And do all the wipes including the 'wipe for ROM install'?

Did you let the phone boot up and settle for about 5 - 10 earth minutes before trying to do anything with it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
You did in fact have an issue with data roaming correct? Yes you did. You also took days to wipe /data and sent me on a goosechase for a problem that existed only ON YOUR PHONE. You asked (and were answered) multiple times about call recording in this thread. All of this can be reviewed.

So if you want to split hairs over the hotspot all one has to do is go back to see the MULTITUDE of issues you and only you have had regarding this ROM and other things.

But it's fine. You just reinforced what I said about being problematic. And I'm officially done. Have a good day sir. I believe this will be the last time we speak.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Doh! I did something to break the ZRAM script. I'm working it out. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SixSixAtl:
It's been a few weeks since posted in this thread, so after reading the last few pages of posts, I thought I would check in. I had previously posted that after upgrading from MF9 to Stock(ish)v03 and installing all the mods to get my phone configured just the way I like, the only challenge I was left with was a noticeably fast battery drain. I then familiarized myself with the KTweaker app, flashed version 5, reviewed his library of available battery profiles and decided to go with "What Lies Beneath" which I have been running on since. No more fast battery drain - I'm back to going all day without plugging in or swapping batteries. I'm now on v04 which I dirty flashed to begin with - I got zram working after clearing data and jumping right to Settings/Detect Zram Type before the invalid kernel message popped up - and didn't run into any glitches until I realized the WiFiHotspot and MobileData quick setting toggles weren't working (which I fixed with a clean install).

BTW here's the correct link I previously posted for the mod to get call recording working (I've never had success with Wanam for either call recording or camera settings)

Freezing and some small lags

Hey guy,

Has anyone else had problems with freezing and some small lags in this ROM?

No mater what I do (enabling or disabling Turbo ZRAM, Greenify, clearing RAM , Cleaning Dalvik and Cash , clean flash , dirty flash and ...) , I still have those problems.

I did not have these issues with STOCK Kernel , Sacs ROM , CyanogenMod 11.0 Nightlies and other ROMS.

I thought It might be a KT kernel issue so I updated to 01-17-2014 new KT update but it did not solve it. I also increased and decreased the Swap size , formatted to FAT32 , exFAT nut still has lag and freezing.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
You must have something left over from another Rom or tweak. Probably in your init d scripts.

Did full, massive wipes and have had no issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ali1353:
Yes , I always do 3 times full wipe / reboot the recovery and wipe again , format internal , and do a fresh clean install.

So there is something wrong on my end because I get 22626.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
Are you installing the KT kernel as per ktoonsez instructions:

too?

To do that I flash TWRP from Philz, reboot recovery. in TWRP install ktoonsez, clear cache, clear dalvik then fix permissions and reboot. Then after booting has settled check ktweaker app for 'set on boot'. Check the turbozRam app. Then back to recovery and flash back to Philz, reboot and check ktweaker app for 'set on boot' one more time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ali1353:
Yes I did follow his post. The issue starts with the Stock ROM (ish V04, KT 01-05-2014) by itself, after flashing the ROM it reboots and goes to the ROM but it freezes and reboots again (flashed it 4 times so far and this happens every time).

After the boot I tested the speed and I got 17927 so I updated the Kernel and fixed permissions in TWRP , then went back to Philz 6.08.9. then it jumped to 22626 but the screen freezes sometimes and some apps FC once in a while.

With the rooted Stock ROM I was getting something around 27600.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
Hmm, seems like something raw would have to look at. Only time I've seen issues is from not following instuctions.

He may have some input. Sorry, I've got no more.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ali1353:
Thanks for the help bro , I'll find out eventually.

Are you running the Turbo profile? As much as I'd like that to work for every phone sadly I just don't think that's possible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
Maybe try a different kt profile. They can be found here. Something like Icarus, Feed the machine or Eclipse.?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
v05 update! I think we're ready to roll kids! Fixing that was quite an adventure! A bonus is that you can now use the "set on boot" feature of the ZRAM GUI. So you can make your swaps whatever you want and they will stick and be set INSTANTLY. No more waiting 4 mins for ZRAM. You're not stuck with the evil rabbit's settings for life! :eek:

Good thing I test test test and retest before handing this over to you guys! This would have been messy! Last night the ROM was rebooting like a madman over and over ANNNNNNND ZRAM was borked big time! But it's all fixed up!

Hey guys, whats your guys opinion on apps like Avast mobile AV and Lookout, and the lot of other Anti-Virus/Malware scanners for phones? Is it worth the performance drain really, or should i just axe them?

EDIT: I wanted to add, I can't remember ever downloading, or surfing to a site that triggered the software... I only really ever wanted it to track my phone if stolen.
