I don’t know if this is kernel related but enterprise secured WiFi using PEAP won’t connect at all. This was a bug using ktoonsez’s kernel with the TouchWiz 4.3 firmware. This was fixed using talexop’s modified stock kernel. Ktoonsez’s kernel eventually worked by I think a WiFi driver for the rom was updated.

Edit:

So I rebooted my phone and now it connects to enterprise WiFi. It was strange that when I tried to disable WiFi nothing happened. After I rebooted then everything was working just fine including disabling WiFi.

I've noticed there is an issue with the app Folder Mount and I contacted the dev about it. He replied

"If you're using a custom kernel (most likely the case here), have your dev read this and fix it:

http://www.devasque.com/foldermount/kk-support.html

The issue isn't FolderMount's per se but a bad kernel implementation."

Hopefully this is a simple fix if its a rom issue. I've also posted on ktoonsez's page concerning this.

After 3 days on this ROM I have to say it's the most stable out of all for me. I miss a lot of touchwiz apps like the better looking calendar and calculator. But I have not had a single reboot yet! Gps and data work perfect even though I think toichwiz showed more signal bars. I flashed the stock kernel and it seems to run better and battery doesn't drain as fast

Batter Drain with KT Kernel.. (included kernel..)

Open KTweaker,

- Tools, OTA Control - update to 4.2.2014 (ver 6.7.2)

Install via recovery and check that 04.02.2014 is in the kernel date upon reboot..

Open KTweaker again,

- Main Settings, Display, mDNIe Background Mode, switch it to Standard

That is the major battery drain (5%+ an hour) that I had before making that change.. Now I'm 2% +/- when idle..

YMMV.

I have backed up this ROM, and installed a TW4.3 rom and successfully achieved GPS lock ;)

Now rebooting back into my GE rom.. hoping for GPS lock..

INSTANT GPS lock.. in GE.. Error within 10'

So that is with the better "Moar Awesome" Kernal :P or stock? Can't say I have ever played with Kernals before so I do not know the differences and improvements etc...In real life, that his kernals add. Ive read his page, but I am talking about overall speed, stability, battery, etc.... . Id take people's word for it, but I'd rather understand why.

Tried the stock kernel. It was actually much more laggy for me. Root also didn't work, and attempting to re-root didn't work. Didn't get a chance to check battery. Nandroid restore!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mystique:
Try this, reload the included kernel. Then update it. Choose asswax or smartassH3 as the governor. Then choose Zen as the scheduler. Set the tcp congestion control to Illinois. And the mDNIe I posted a few posts back..

You will be very impressed with the response and battery life..

YMMV..

Dialer not working in call

Was trying to call a service provider today using my G4 and found that, once connected, the keypad would not allow me to send numbers making it impossible to navigate the automated attendant system. Tried to find a setting to change this but couldn't stumble on it. Any pointers or ideas?

BTW, I did search the thread so sorry if this was answered elsewhere and I missed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] coolbluedab:
I fresh installed the rom, updated kernel. Found this article.

What I notice is every time I go into performance for KT... It says "Your selected scheduler... governor etc.. Has not been loaded, do you want to yes or cancel"... It says that when I exit it and go back in. Is that normal? Or do I need to switch something? As of this point, it seems like the changes are not in effect?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mystique:
Somewhere the default scheduler is row, but KTweaker has a default of cfq..

All good, make the change; you are going to change it anyway..

Double checkin

So my wife has been on HyperDrive 15 4.3 and has been having some issues and needs a stable, yet minimal bloat rom for every day stability. Basically a DD. I used loki just after I bought her the s4 the day it was released but wanted to just make sure that I can in fact flash this rom directly over the Hyper 4.3 rom with the MDK firmware and KT kernal. I understand that I will need to wipe etc but do I need to flash any firmware first using odin. I am unfamiliar with safestrap and have been lucky enough, not ever having to use it. I am familiar with your guys and your work and thank you for this. Any knowledge about loki and safestrap would be much appreciated. Thanks again. Oh, any plans of working on the s5. I may get it or wait it out and get the Note 4. I am a note owner and have a hard time leaving my note 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
You're good. Just follow the instructions in the op. No need for safe strap.

And if I was in the market right now, I'd get the M8. They got s-off (HTC for unlocked bootloader). The Verizon s5 will be locked down tighter than a drum. Note 4 is probably six months away.

Any ideas on this? I don't want to wipe and start over if there's a quicker/easier fix but not having a working dialer in-call is a deal breaker for me.

After using this rom for a few days, I really do have to say that it's running absolutely fantastic. I haven't once gotten a random reboot like the TW roms, battery life is great, and general use of the phone feels very snappy and responsive. The only issues I encountered with this rom are two of my apps weren't 100% compatible with KitKat, but that's no fault to the rom.

Greetings! I'm not sure where to log bugs if there is such a place. I searched the OP and didn't see that information. Don't be mad at me. :(

So when I searched the thread people have reported buzzing when they have music or any application that's using sound. This is the steps to reproduce:

- Place your headphones into the head-phone jack. (important, otherwise you won't hear it normally)

- Open any Audio type of application (Google Music, iHeart Radio, Pandora. *I chose google music*).

- Select music to listen to.

- Play Music.

- While the music is playing, let the screen turn off.

- At this point, you will start hearing buzzing on the audio really bad.

It almost seems like the CPU is having trouble keeping up. I tried running CatLog on this issue, and really all I can find that really sticks out is this:

Couldn't load memtrack module (No such file or directory)

Failed to load memtrack module: -2.

That to me seems like an app level issue based on my Googling... :) Well that is all. I still love this rom, and it is by far the best rom I have used! I don't want to upgrade my phone it is that good... I am content. :)

Sometimes I get the sound buzzing when the screen is on too, but I haven't yet been able to consistently reproduce it.

Regards,

Surakusa

Bluetooth Toggle?

Hi everyone,

I've been running this ROM now for a few weeks and I'm loving it. Not a single random reboot. Fantastic.

I'm curious if there's some way I can add a bluetooth toggle to the pull down menu. Bluetooth is already there, but clicking on it brings you to the bluetooth menu and THEN you turn bluetooth on/off. I'm looking for a toggle that sits right in the pulldown menu, if such a thing exists for this ROM.

(I haven't updated to the 3/29 version yet - I'm about to do so very soon.)

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
You can install either Power toggles, or Notification Toggle from the market. It will go right under your notifications.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sailrace:
Use gravity box and you can change the default behavior so tapping it toggles on /off and press and hold takes you to the menu. That's how mine is set now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] azjaffo:
Thank you! That is exactly what I was looking for. I swear I poked around in Gravitybox earlier, but couldn't find how to do it - but I got it now.

Thanks for the suggestion. I installed Power Toggles and it worked for what I needed. I uninstalled it, though, when I did the change to the setting in Gravitybox.

Thanks again for your help!

There is an option in the ktweaker to set the CPU min frequency while playing music or streaming bluetooth. I set both to almost 600 MHz and I don't have any issues. Also the governor used is asswax. I have the Fauxsound also installed to get that loudness preset. Very happy with the hole combination phone rom kernel sound. Don't want to upgrade. Finally something is almost perfect.

Touchwiz is the daughter of one of your mom's friends that she force introduces you to. MIUI is the girl you dated in college with tattoos, body jewelry and daddy issues. Pure AOSP is the level headed girl...no flaws, but it just doesn't quite fit. GE is the girl your kids call mommy.

I know there a few tweaks left to do, an I am sure I will get a little strange with an international ROM or MIUI every once and a while, but this really is the best. If there were an S5 GE on Verizon, I would seriously consider swapping, even if all I had was basic root for stuff like ad-blocking.

Just wanted to share my experience with those having Bluetooth issues, never had any Bluetooth woes with this ROM until today on a long road trip. My symptoms were audio cutting out and two reboots. I had a few hours to think about would could be causing it in terms of any changes I may have made recently. Long story short I had enabled "more music volume steps" and "volume keys skip tracks" In GravityBox a few days back. So as a last resort before flashing a backup I disabled those and voila all my Bluetooth woes resided after a reboot. It's worth noting too with "more music volume steps" enabled and the Bluetooth volume at max I heard no audio. Turning the Bluetooth volume down 3 notches and audio would play but would cut out.

This was on a Kenwood dnx-7180 head unit using parrot Bluetooth.

By the way I'm using the stock GPE kernel and not ktoonz. I keep a collection of kernels on my SD card for troubleshooting. Switched back and forth while this was happening. Made no difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jstaab:
I have the WLAN_RX_WAKE issue here. I believe it's due to a large number of broadcasts on the network that your phone is constantly receiving. When my wireless is on, it's constantly receiving traffic even when the phone is idle. It is not an app on the phone, it's just wireless broadcasts. I've sniffed my network, and I have a ton of arp broadcasts going non stop, plus udp broadcasts. I haven't figured out a way to stop it yet, besides create a VLAN for my wireless, but I haven't taken the time to figure out out to do that yet. Oh and yes, I do believe it's keeping my phone awake for several hours a day, way longer then my screen on time. Also, this is all a theory on my part.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sherdog16:
Yeah it's super annoying. I'm pretty sure a static ip helps with this issue but I can't say for sure yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] -Michael_:
I can understand all the broadcasts and arpa requests from the gateway over wireless if you're on a public network with many vlans and other clients. But on your home Wifi. That's kind of strange; how many clients do you have on your home network. By default most devices come with ipv6 enabled which does generate alot more network discovery packets compared to ipv4 yet still shouldn't be that bad. Maybe your using multicast groups or have dlna/media streaming or bonjour running? Either way

---------- Post added at 12:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

If your using a Linux based wireless router like an Asus or a link sys with custom firmware you can use IP tables to filter that traffic down. But ARP requests will always be seen on any network, wired or wireless. And with wireless being one big broadcast domain everyone is going to see them.

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ----------

A static IP won't help much, rather static ARP entries or dhcp reservations. Would be better to segregate the noisy traffic though.
