[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Solace50:
coming from the g2x which was incredibly straight forward to deal with not having a locked bootloader or any other nonsense to deal with i have a few questions regarding a rogers s4 i337m

1. KNOX, as far as i have read this is a feature to detect tampering with the device and set a flag in place when tampered with. Specifically what sets off KNOX? as to that i have not really discovered a more direct answer. The repercussions to setting off KNOX is unable to use KNOX secured software aka roms/kernels? Is there any current updates by any of the providers that actually utilize this? or is it just more a enterprise feature being tested out in the s4 for additional security measures.

2. editions of roms, i honestly found a thread earlier for this but am failing to find it again i cant remember which s4 sub forum had it regarding the differences between google/asop/tw roms.

3. What are the mainstream Roms/kernels used, i noticed faux123 combined his rom/kernel of which i was not a fan of. for the G2x you had faux/morfic for kernels and just running stock cm7 was quite flawless for a combination.

4. I need a link to the latest CWM or has that been replaced for another recovery software? I know you can download it through rommanager but i thought that was like a fake flash more so then acutually pushing it to the phone via some other method. Is that done through rommanager as another step to avoid tripping knox? touch CWM is not essential and i recall the g2x touch CWM had issues so i don't really care if a legacy version can be used. stability > features for core components.

5. Having the unlocked bootloader has any other gains other then just not having to downgrade to a unlocked bootloader for flashing custom kernels/roms? flashing the roms even with the unlocked bootloader will still trigger knox correct?

I am quite aware of the safestrap feature and may try that if knox is required in any way. for warranty purposes i dont really care, if the phone runs for a month then it will probably last me 2-3 years. hell even the g2x survived 3 years now only with the power button becoming a tad problematic to turn on the phone. its more is there any software that may require it that as of now rom wise or app wise.

oh finally whats the difference between odin v3/v4? is there any real reason to use the newer. seems 3.09 is common revision to be used.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mg2195:
Seems like you may need to do a little more reading...but heres a little info for you :)

First let me ask you a question, what firmware is your s4 on, and is it an i337 (att branded)

As far as knox goes, I don't know much kore about it than you do...havent really looked into it, If you root your phone amd go in the superuser app it will ask you if you want to remove knox

Aosp vs touckwiz roms:

AOSP based roms can vary from pure AOSP, which is exactly what google intended android to be, no gimicks no extra features. But they can also be much more customizable such as cyanogenmod or aokp. Again these roms are built from the android source code, so it looks the way android was meant to be, the non pure ones having mamy added features

Touchwiz roms are simply based off stock realeases, they are often rooted and debloated, with a few tweaks thrown in and maybe a few mods...they typically loom and feel like a cleaner, smoother, and more polished stock rom, and with a lot less bloat

Recoveries: there are several recoveries available, you still got the basic CWM, than you got Touch CWM, Oudahs auto-loki recovery, phils cwm *I think thats the name lol* and than TWRP (may be missing some)***IMPORTANT: I asked earlier what firmware you were on, and this is way, if you have the mf3 firmware or mk2 firmware you CAN NOT flash any of the above recoveries due to our locked bootloader***

Safestrap: this is the recovery alternative which essentially is a recovery, however it is currently unable to flash kernels...which means you can only flash touchwiz roms, that are compatible with the stock kernel you currently have...so if your on mf3 with safestrap only 4.2.2 roms, if your on mk2 only 4.3 roms. Keep in kind safestrap is still in beta for mk2 so not every rom is working.

If you have an att phone with a locked bootloader there is currently and never has been any way to unlock the bootloader, so you are stuck with a locked bootloader. What this means is you can not downgrade to an earlier firmware, and if your mf3 or later you can not get a recovery and flash cyanogenmod aokp aosp or amy other aosp based roms
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Solace50:
so if i were to upgrade to 4.3 ota it would flash MK3 giving me a locked bootloader? i was under the impression that the i337m canadian models all have unlocked bootloaders. only the i337 US models had locked loaders. i listed the model earlier and everything is stock out of the box

baseband/build is MG1 on 4.2.2

actually ill just check that latest firmware thread, the candian models are equiv to the m919 tmobile models basically. we also have the m919v for wind/mobilicity.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mg2195:
100% my bad I missed that you had the i337m

So with that said, you dont have a locked bootloader, and theres nothing you can do that will lock it

You can flash any of the recoveries, cwm twrp or whatever. They are all stable and seem to be working fjne...so its just whatever you perfer :D

Personally I like twrp, and that can be installed using goomanager if youre rooted, rommamager should also work if your rooted for cwm recovery

I finaly managed to write somthing to enable you to navigate to locations entered when adding an Appoinment in the agenda !

And there's more to come (when finished)

Nav2recent should work perfectly, just READ the howto and download it here : http://ppc.jhps.shacknet.nu/ Zip-pass is "xdatest"...

Navigate2 is downloadable too, but i only give out the password by mail or PM, since i want to know who is testing it ;)

please give comments or bugreports !

(tested on WM2003 !)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] petest:
Would you mind if i post a link to this topic to the guys at pocketgpsworld. They've developed a few tomtom addons and would probably be interested in this.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jpiek:
Be my guest, but like i said, i'm not giving the password for Navigate2 away to anyone...

I'd rather have some of the guys here test it first...

My final goal is NOT to make money out of it, but a FREE "navigate to appoinment location" tool available to anyone....

Why ? Because it STUPID that navigationsoftwar has a tool to navigat you to addresses you probably allready know (Your contactlist !), but NOT to addresses you drive to for the first time : APPOINMENT LOCATIONS...

If their willing to help : Great ! If they want to create a tool alike and 'hide' it on their site, or ask money for it: No way...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] petest:
Just posted the link and hopefully it won't be abused.

The guys at pocketgpsworld have already developed and released (free) a tt5 addon called "POI Capture" which allows for quick saving of speed cameras of various types.

Good luck and i hope everything goes well. :D

Ok, let's see. Just maybe we can stumble the last part...

Ok, working on a better version allready...

Any comments upto now ?

Have you had any interest from pocketgps fellas?

Sorry i have just heard too many problems with any version of TWRP above 2.5.0.2 so from day 1 (may 23rd) i have used 2.5.0.2 and will not change since it is flawless. I never change what isn't broken when it comes to root and custom recoveries.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nydalxy:
I personally haven't tried 2.5.0.2 but I've been on 2.6.3.1 since it came out and it has also been flawless. I think 2.6.3.2 was just released but haven't heard any feedback about it

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
On the right track here! Breaking things up this way will save a load of headaches. Which cm-11 are you using?

I had not tried making dsp and whisper user apps. Dsp is small enough and I know nothing about using whisper service.

Another candidate would be the filemanager.

Calendar is on Play and should be installed from there. Hangouts2 should also come off Play.

The original sms app is on the ROM unless you removed it. Not everyone want to bother with Hangouts.

Upgrades to Google Search will need to be downloaded from Play and sideloaded because it is technically not compatible for our device.

I (at least used to) need a gmscore on system, even though it is upgraded by the prebuilt and onwards. Just like phonesky needs be on system while Play has given me new ones since then. Waste of space. I will try removing the prebuilt from system and see if it still works.

Main functionality bug is lack of lockscreen widgets option in Settings.apk. Ideas on this?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mukulsoni:
it is CM-11 Dec 27 build... Have trimmed rom but not removed LatinIME, FM etc. About whisperpush read this http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/whisperpush-secure-messaging-integration, Google search and card working through this mode of installation. :highfive:

After initial reboot (all wipes + formats + successful installation of cm11) I noticed the "back" hardware key is not working.

It is capable of killing an app if I enable it in developer options, though, but as a regular in-app back function it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas how to make the back button wrok again?

Another thing, I just noticed that cmfilemanager is not capable of opening zip files and did not think about decompressing the archives (useer and system gapps) beforehand :silly:

No need to apologize- it is well understood that at this stage it is a privilege to be able to boot in KK to begin with, and as with any new Android version, the first/early adopters usually are prepared for not working stuff.

i'm always getting an error when trying to install the recovery.

i supposed the problem was the absence of partition.nbm file, but later i tried with fastboot mode to flash the recovery, and i get this:

C:\andsdk\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery asd.img

sending 'recovery' (4908 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.353s]

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote: flash write failure)

finished. total time: 3.454s

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mukulsoni:
Which recovery you are using? Go to pg-1 and download the zip version and follow the instructions :good:
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Sempiternum:
i used all the versions in the first page, same result with all.

the flash goes well if i use a 5.0.2.0 and 5.0.2.7 or amon ra 3.0.6.

I think the partition for recovery is somehow resized and now has not enough space for the 6.x.x.x cwm.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mukulsoni:
Erase recovery partition of your phone in fastboot and then flash recovery.img file (extract the zip to get this).
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Sempiternum:
did this in past attempts, did:

fastbooit erase recovery

then

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

same error for all three zips.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mukulsoni:
Install any older recovery, prefer TWRP or CWM5+ and then flash the recovery zip file there.

Edit: I guess you need to install updated SDK, if you haven't. Otherwise flash through another recovery. I just checked the recovery img by flashing in my device and its working fine.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Sempiternum:
either twrp and cwm (i used 5.0.2.7), but i got error with status 7.

the error was:

assert failed: write_raw_image (" /tmp/recovery...") <- cannot read more than this 'cause the screen is not cropped and the text goes off the borders.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mukulsoni:
if your device is LGP500 then this should flash... flash the recovery.zip file first in any older recovery and then ROM through new recovery. Are you flashing rom through older recovery? if yes, then its always show status7.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] jayc137:
[OT]

Is it just me for whom the jenkins ROM is lagging without any app

I don't have a video/second oone to see that if the lag is normal or just it's my oone showing it's age

[/OT]

Also why are we still not on XDA portal ?!!?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Sempiternum:
this may seem that i'm fooling you, but is not.

i've a p500, and as said, i start from a

amon ra 3.x.x

clockworkmod 5.0.2.7 or 5.0.2.0 (both the same result)

or

twrp-2.6.

Installing the recovery from zip, through "flash zip menu" and selecting .zip file (any one of 6.x.x.x in the homepage) don't work, getting error 7.

Installing the recovery from fastboot, so extracting the one of the three zips, randomly, and then flashing through fastboot, via recovery.img, doesn't work either, see error in my first post.

Is there something wrong in the procedure?
