[ROM] SKINNY KAT 4.4.2 I9505G ML4 [GOOGLE EXPERIENCE]

Welcome to the Skinny Kat ROM for the I9505G Google Edition Galaxy S4. This ROM is a lite version of ML4 based off of SamuriHL Odin package. ( Thanks SamuriHL ). Skinny Kat includes the Google Experience Launcher with Search, “Ok Google”. In order to package this ROM I used disk internals to unpack the system.img.ext4 from the Odin firmware package and then made my cuts and additions from there, everything else was packaged up in Dsixda Android Kitchen, thanks dsixda, also Thanks to wilbarger for his tireless help in resolving issues and testing.

PLEASE NOTE: I have not tested this myself because I no longer have the I9505G, I am running the N5 now. I am planning on adding some custom features and modifications to Skinny Kat so if you are interested in being a tester please let me know. occuapational_hazard & SamuriHL have been helping out but its good to have a few more because we all have busy lives.

[ PLEASE DO NOT ASK IF YOU CAN FLASH THIS ON ANY OTHER PHONE BUT THE I9505G]

[Disclaimer] I nor anyone on this forum or XDA is responsible if you brick your phone; lose your job, or life as we know it ends. Modifying any phone comes with risk. You assume all those risks so please read and review the instructions carefully and if your still lost then use the search button. If your still lost ask someone we are here to help.

Merry Christmas RESERVED. Screenshots coming

Thanks for the Christmas present. Am downloading and will test. Glad to see some of the junk removed.

On first glance, when I tried to check an voice mail message, the screen goes black and it never goes to voice mail. This may be an issue with my phone as I cannot get rid of the voice mail notification icon no matter what I try. I do not have any messages waiting, but the icon will not go away even with other ROM's now.

EDIT: Just did a full wipe of phone and reinstalled your ROM. I tried to make a call and get black screen followed by short vibrations and after 20 seconds the screen comes back on. Cannot make calls. Still working on the VM icon. EDIT: Got rid of the VM icon. Phone dialing still borked.

How did you get rid of the VM icon? Also can you just wipe everything except the system just data, dalvik, cache to install thanks.

Since I don't have an I9505G to work with its hard to get the issues fixed without some more help. If anyone is interested in helping out lmk
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] wilbarger:
Got rid of the icon by leaving myself a vm, listened to it and then deleted.

I installed the latest KT and the phone does not receive or send calls. SMS works fine.

EDIT: Phone loses root also.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] MJHawaii:
Is it possible that you can Odin back and delete the apps only ( not the wallpapers ) from TB then install GE launcher ( not search ) and convert it in TB to a system app. Then create a folder on your desktop and open up a command prompt inside that folder and type "adb pull system" ( without quotes) and upload the file and send me a link? Lmk. Thanks Wil.

Oh and before you pull the system image and after you delete the apps and install GE launcher you would make sure everything still works this would help me figure out what's causing issues on my end.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] wilbarger:
If someone else would load this ROM up and see if they have the same phone issue, it would help a lot. I would hate for this to be a one off issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] MJHawaii:
True the more reporting the better
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] MJHawaii:
BIG THANKS to wilbarger who is testing and converting system files as well as pulling everything. We should have a stable revision up soon.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] wilbarger:
We need some HELP

Hey guys, we need some feedback on this ROM. Have you tried it? Any problems? Would you be willing to try it? MJHawaii is trying to get us a new build out and so far he cannot get enough feedback to make progress with completion and debugging.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] MJHawaii:
Thanks for all your Help wilbarger. Just to let everyone know we wil and I did a Google hangout this morning and we are working on resolving bugs. Thanks wil!

Glad to be able to contribute a little in these forums and special thanks to MJHawaii for his patience with me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] MJHawaii:
I think TWRP is breaking some things during install can you try cwm recovery from the I9505G thread and see if it is causing the same problems

Seems 4.4 keeps having issues once it's installed and it varies as the problems are reported. Please post in here
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] wilbarger:
My recovery is CWM 6.0.4.4 I will try TWRP and let you know if this changes anything.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] wilbarger:
Still no boot

Still will not boot. Gets stuck on Google.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] MJHawaii:
So with TWRP it won't even boot? I think a lot of the problems we are having are recovery related. Working on it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] wilbarger:
I did a full wipe and tried with both TWRP and CWM recoveries. Both went into a loop at the Google logo. Restarted in recovery and wiped again with the same result.

By the way, the issues with the boot loop that I am having are NOT with the ROM posted in the OP. That loads and boots for me, but I cannot make or place calls with it.

If anyone can try the ROM in the OP and report back your results, it would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] MJHawaii:
Seems like its just us in here..I know lots of people ( not just our phone ) are having issues flashing with TWRP latest builds I could use a test flash on an early build of TWRP and a logcat if anyone is interested to help me fix the issues we are having getting 4.4 ROMs to work

Hi There,

I'm new to all this so apologies if I ask stupid questions...

I have a HTC One x that I bought - was told it was brand new out of the box but I've realised a year later (when it wasn't updating) that this is not the case - I'm pretty sure it has a custom rom installed.

I'd like to set it back to the stock rom but have no idea what the ruu would be to do so.

I ran fastboot and managed to find the following info

CID: T-MOB101

Version: 1.28.111.10

Android version: 4.0.3

I'm assuming to get it back to stock I would just follow Mr Hof's guide as found on this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2129738&page=2

Questions are

1) does anyone know what ruu I should download

2) Is this the right way to go about it?

Any help would be great - sorta banging my head against a brick wall here....:crying:
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
The 1.28.111 RUU. or the 1.29.111 RUU. Google for androiruu.com endevour

Could not connect: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)"

I've had a good crack at trying to find it elsewhere but it seems to be a hard one to find :rolleyes:

Would there be another site that I've missed?

Hi All,

I'm at my In-Laws place and trying to get my Mother-in-Law's phone working with wifi tether. I was able to root the phone without issue. i have tried the stock wifi tether apk as well as the TrevE mod with auto, generic, ICS (both settings) and the Epic 4G Touch settings and have not been able to get it to work.

Could someone please tell me what settings I should use to get wifi tether to work on this phone? It's driving me crazy! I've been scouring the web like crazy and can't find anything.:eek:

All help is graciously appreciated!

I'm trying to figure out if this is something that is up with my tablet or if it is just a normal thing I never noticed before so I figured I would ask and see if anyone else's does the same thing.

When switching modes in the camera (ex. Regular camera to Photo Sphere) my tablet seems to be making a clicking sound. It sounds like it's coming from the area where the camera is but I can't really be sure. I don't remember it doing it when I was using it I was on stock but then again I barely used the camera and don't think I ever switched modes.

Currently running KatKiss 4.3 #29 / default KatKiss kernel

If there's any information I missed that you may want/need let me know.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shredbeta:
Mine does this too. I think it's normal. Seems to occur whenever the camera is activated.

I'm currently on Katkiss 4.3 #27 but this also occurred on No-name CM nightlies. Stock was too long ago now I'm afraid.

Hello friends, as you know facebook is rolling a new Layout for they'r official APP.

I hear it is server side, so as long you have Android 4.x, you can roll back older instalation, uninstall and download the older FB APP APK, you can do all that and the new Layout still will be present.

The Layout is fine exept for one small but big issue.

At the buttons on top (Feed, Notifications, Friends Request) it dont display the Messages button.

I dont use FB chat, it is aways off and now exept for the push notifications i cant see if i have new messages on the APP, i need to check then via the options menu.

That is very anoyng for my use and a very deal breaker.

I tryed 3rd party APPs but none seens nice too.

Is there a way (as it seen to be server side) to roll back for the older layout, or add the stupid messages button??

Thanks for all, here what i mean:

I took it to the agent and told me that matherboard is the problem ..

Then I took it to a phone repair shop, told me that the problem is not in matherboard but I can solve it in another way by flashing rom without Odin or kies ..

Is there another device that specializes in the installation of devices to Roms..

My Layblock wallet case should be here any day now. I ordered it almost 2 weeks ago. Anyone else order one? This is the most I've ever paid for a case, but since the phone is so big it will be nice to combine my wallet and phone into 1 item so I no longer have to carry 2 bulky items around in my pants.

The couple YouTube reviews I watched raved about this case and how good it was.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] zounduser:
That's a lot man
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] int_architect:
I absolutely love the look of this case. I even almost bought one (Camel Brown) during Black Friday because Layblock was offering a 15% discount, but was still somewhat put off by the price. Ultimately, I decided against it when I came across some Chinese S-View knockoff cases. I still continue to check ebay and Zoarah for price drops on the Layblock case. The ebay price is about $10 more than the regular price around Thanksgiving, so I definitely wouldn't buy this case now. Another manufacturer that makes nice cases is Wetherby (Korean). One thing about the Layblock case that I simply couldn't get past is the massive cutout for the camera, and it was like that for all the colors. I just couldn't pay close to $60 for a case and settle for that. The tolerances on the knockoff S-View cases I have are very good.

Lovely wallet. Please share some actual photos when it arrives.

Also, be sure to use a screen protector with that. I can see all those cards scratching against the glass.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] harajyuks:
Please be sure to use a GLASS screen protector with your case. Especially if you are going to be putting cards in all 3 slots for the case. You will find that over time the cards will start to etch lines into; and create uneven wear on the oleophobic coating an unprotected screen. The standard screen protector (I was using a Zagg Shield on my Note 2 when it happened to me) WILL NOT protect you from this. I think it's the pressure of the cards pressed up against the glass for long periods of time that create this problem.

I loved my wallet case for my Note 2, and paid about $50 for it, until I saw this starting to happen. I have one for my Note 3, the Poetic version. .. It only cost me $13 shipped... but have yet to use it, even though I do have a a glass screen protector. I plan for limited use eitherway, on a night when I'm going out, or want to class up my device a little bit. Even my glass screen protector has an oleophobic coating, and while it is replaceable, I don't want to accelerate the wear and tear on it... that thing was dammed expensive.

If you go into the GoodLink Preferences menu from any of the GoodLink applications, then go into Notification, you have to check off Vibrate there. I've done it and it works.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] chrisb25:
I have already checked the box to enable the vibration. It does work as long as the phone is not sleeping (default 3 min).

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] iJay:
I've noticed that GoodLink stops vibrating every so often as well. I usually do a soft reset and functionality is restored. I remember when GoodLink first came out on the Treo using the camera used to kill GoodLink vibration. I believe this was because Palm would disable vibration while in camera mode and then GoodLink never realized if it was re-enabled. I think the same is true here though I haven't been able to pinpoint the app causing the problem. Hope this helps!

I am really contemplating purchasing the note 3. I would like to purchase it from amazon as they have it for 179 right now. As opposed to the 299 through verizon. My only reservation about purchasiong from them is about getting a phone with problems. and have to deal with returns etc. If you purchase directly from verizon they are usually pretty good about replacing phones that have issues.

Does anyone have any experience with purchasing handsets through them?
