i have installed this rom, and i really like it (with nova launcher customized). i am not a fan of touchwiz, but i am being forced to use it for wifi calling right now. my issue is that i picked this rom because of all the reviews and features, and i am having bad battery life. like dropped 40% in 3 hours with light use. i tried another launcher and got rid of it went bakc to nova. i am hoping that it was the launcher, but not sure. i installed very little of the samsung bloat, and have not used the tw launcher but a few times. have nver had to use power save settings to get good life, but i am trying that now.

i did a full wipe (philz touch - wipe for new rom), and installed this rom, with the crappack and deselected most features. but most of my apps were already installed when i restarted. that seemed wierd to me, unless there is an autobackup or something like that in the installer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SaintCity86:
Download betterbatterystats and run it for a day. Check it after both using it fir a period of time, and also let it sit in idle for 4 hours, then check the results.

It'll tell you exactly what's going on with power consumption.

BBS has an official thread here on xda. Google search for the thread and app

S health appears to be broken...anyone else get force closes while trying to use it?

I've tried several ways of getting it to work on this rom without success.

I've deleted it, and installed it from other roms and from the note 3...it allows me to set it up but after that it just crashes.

Any cures?

Just to add, another great app to grab from the Play store (free app) is Wakelock Detector. It will show you what is keeping your phone awake. Use both apps in combination with another app called Greenify to control your battery consuption.

Hey, man! I used TWRP and it finally flashed the ROM. It's currently at the Samsung boot logo.

Multiple thank yous for your help!

And funny thing, it turns out it wasn't even this ROM. It's a rom called DbKat lol I don't know if the two are similar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SaintCity86:
Id try this first.

I wouldn't suggest using to wakelock detecting apps at once. Use one. Then use greenify in conjunction.

I also use Android tuner pro to watch my system, give me graphical readouts, and adjust what permissions to allow on a per app basis.

I hate it when people come asking questions, then don't even take the time to read all the answers.

New issue.

ROM won't boot past the Samsung animation :(

tried to odin TWRP recovery because my hardware buttons don't (have never been able to) take me into recovery mode.

I don't know what to do :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] phrotac:
Betterbatterystats tells you what is draining your battery. Wakelock detector tells you what is keeping your phone awke. I use both together to REALLY help me save battery. That and ktoonsez kernel and profiles. I use ktgaming for gaming, Moonlight v3 for normal use, and Super Battery Saver 3.0 while I am working. I greenify apps during work and ungreenify them when I get off so I get my notifications. I am in total control of my performance to battery ratio at any given time ;)

Now, I thought we were moving past this kind of behavior???

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PiggySmalls:
Betterbatterystats details all wakelocks on your phone, including kernel wakelocks, why do you need the other one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] phrotac:
Recovery is Vol+ and Power buttons. No need for home button on M919 or i9505. Other models it is Vol+, Power, and Home buttons. Hold buttons until you see tiny blue words in the top left corner. As soon as you see the blue words, immediately release all buttons. If you wait too long to release then the phone will boot normally. Once in Recovery, enter Wipe menu. Select Advanced, select System only, and swipe (I recommend also selecting Internal sdcard if changing roms, but back up your stuff first). Go back one level and swipe Factory Reset. Factory Reset will wipe Data, Dalvic Cache, and Cache. At this point, you have now performed a "Full Wipe." Now flash your rom. When complete, it may ask to reboot. Tell it no and finish. You will now see three buttons in a pyramid shape. Press the one that says Wipe Dalvic and cache, or something to that effect. Once complete, press the button that says Home. Press Advanced and the press Fix Permissions. Reboot system.

I wrote this from memory so if you have ANY questions, don't hesitate to ask ;)

Betterbatterystats is not free, nor does it have a trial. I am using a really old version until i have a chance to buy it. The version i have is not much more than the stock battery settings page. I did not know it currently does wakelocks. Wakelock detector is free and does a very nice job while using almost no resources. So, why would I need more??? Plus, I like free :)

EDIT: Let me rephrase that last comment. What does Betterbatterystats do for my $3 that I can't live without?

Makes sense.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jacob66:
Thank you so much! I would have never figured this out by any amount of research.

I've finally booted into the rom. I'm guessing wifi won't work unless I switch to a custom kernel.

I'll just have to unlock the sim and then switch back to my rom.

Is there a way I can add you to contacts on XDA or something?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] phrotac:
Don't get me wrong, I buy all my apps, but ones that charge, and have no lite or trial version, are ones that I'm leary about. What does it do that I need? If I can answer that then I buy the app. Super SMS Backup, Astro File Manager, and Tapatalk 4, for example, all have working trial/lite versions, but I liked them so much that I bought the pro versions. SQLiteEditor does NOT have a free, trial, or lite version so I HAD to buy it because I can't live without it. GTA3, Vice City, and San Andreas are games I have loved on the PS2 platform so I bought those without question. Some of my apps, like Hay Day, have in app purchases and others I purchased just to remove ads (Dice With Buddies, Wordly, Mini golf Matchup, etc.). I plan to buy Betterbatterystats, but I'm not in that much of a hurry unless I can find a REASON to buy it. That's all I'm trying to say.

You can friend me in my profile. I accept all friendships ;)

Also, what Rom are you flashing that has no wifi?

It was called DbKAT another rom by the creator of this one, I believe.

I was unable to access the service menus in the dialer, so I just flashed slimbean for now, so I can download stock and Odin that onto the phone.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] phrotac:
dbKat is made from a leaked international version of KitKat. There is a build.prop edit you have to do if your wifi doesn't work and is discussed early in the thread. Also, all Google apps crash which makes it hard to do anything productive. Right now, there is no fully working tw KitKat rom. Not until T-Mobile releases one.

Well, I was referring to having source code so devs could create roms from it. I'm pretty sure the Wicked version will rock. I don't know if dannyben will return, but if he does, I'm pretty sure his version will rock too. I'm confident that others will develop the rom too. I'm optimistic that way lol.

I was gonna say, that's why I told him to search for the app on xda. Bbs is by far the best wakelock detector...

that's really weird. My s health is working just fine. Could it have been the download on the rom that went bad?

I think you should give up on kitkat till they actually release a version for our device.

And just cuz I don't normally give people cap doesn't mean some people don't deserve it, if you don't at least read through the posts that come after your question, why should anyone take the time to help.

In my opinion, this thread should be locked until the developer returns and a q/a thread should be opened in the help forum to assist users of this rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Any S4 rom from any carrier can be flashed to your phone. BUT, before you reboot you must flash a Tmobile kernel....

International firmware is a little different from USA. So if you themed their firmware it will not be compatible with ours per say. It's best to wait for ours.

I believe dannyben would have been okay with your posting, and he might have even has some positive words for you. He's a cool guy and knows we all want a TW KitKat Rom. As a matter of fact, if he were still around, I believe HE would have been the one to bring us a stable TW KitKat Rom. He was already most of the way there with his dbKat.

Try redownloading it may be a bad download. If that doesn't work try using TWRP recovery. If you are downloading via phone use dolphin browser.

Tried all of those. Did not download to phone, but to PC.

Seems like the problem may be that I wiped system. Will try ODINing back to stock, and start over.

Update: Changed to Philz, and was able to install this ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
Yep other people also had problems flashing this ROM with CWM recovery. I've used TWRP since I got my s3. Also always done a clean install by wiping data, cache, dalvik cache and system. That always keep me from having any issues besides the ones that devs have in their changelog.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ScottBroker:
Well I don't. I view it as providing updates.... If i like his work, I will send him a donation, but an App that I pay for should get updated..... I like the rom, but its 4.3 not 4.4.2.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
By donated app, I am assuming you are referring to the paid version of dbMod. In that case, if you tried to get the paid app from the website, as i believe it has to be sent to you by the dev, you might not have not gotten it.

As for the play store paid app, it does not need the dev to do anything. And for that, I think that for $5 you get a good value with the themes, mods, and kernels that are already included.

PS - I recently also donated for the ROM, as it has been my daily for awhile. When 4.4 OTA comes out, if devs can work around the ExtSD BS, then I will have to move on.

WiFi problem

Back to business - I have recently noticed that WiFi does not stay working with any kernel. On initial install it does, but disappears after rebooting. Have used stock and most of the others including KT. I use the kernel cleaner in between flashes.

I did not have this issues a week ago, so at a loss. May wipe system and dirty flash first.

I had no issues for weeks - just started. When WiFi works, so does Hotspot - but cannot turn WiFi on in settings.
