I have not tried it, but then I also don't have a device to mirror to. Could be that we need to modify the lib to ignore root. Any chance of a logcat?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] theHURRICANE:
Fenny, you do amazing work. There is a thread on the international theme section that shows how to get screen mirroring working with root and custom kernel. I've tried it and it works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] daclothe:
I just flashed this one and it worked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
I say give it a go. The ROM is signed so you can turn on signature verification to be sure.

I will add that to the next release.

It is always nice when someone else has done the legwork on patching binaries before you. ARM assembly still feels a bit foreign to me compared to X86 ASM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
4 days and counting and this phone is great, thanks Fenny , also running Xposed Wannan as a remedy for the white wash look samsung or Google gave kit kat.

Only thing that has me scratching my head is a funny clunky sound it makes when wifi is turned on or off. ?

Can't figure out how this started or got enabled, looked all over Xposed and don't see a notification sound for network on/off.???

Anyone else have this going on with your phone?

TIA. Pp.

Hello fenny I had the data problem again.

I went to the settings menu data usage and turned off my data and went to sleep. This morning I turned data back on and it wasn't doing anything. I turned on airplane mode and it didn't work so I rebooted the phone and got alot of text messages and my Internet works again.

Edit: I can also confirm someone calling me went straight to voice mail.

Random reboots killing the experience. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mohan_kr:
Hi, so I am deodexing on another device, and a fully deodexed ROM i am running into the same issue. NOTE: I would like to run the stock kernel, which is SELinux Enforcing. When I run with permissive kernel, it works fine. SELinux Enforcing + odex works perfectly fine. It is only the Google Play store and apps (which by default are actually deodexed, i.e. no odex) running into this issue with Enforcing Kernel + full deodexed..Curious if there is anything that you did..

thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
I built the stock kernel from source. I also disabled selinux enforcement in the initramfs. That way it is stock, but still selinux permissive.

Make sure you are using the latest versions of smali/baksmali and that you have your API level set correctly. Also don't forget to deodex priv-app.

What kernel? Which bootloader? Which radio?

I still have yet to experience this issue... I am on the NB4 modem, My Kernel, the 4.2.2 Bootloaders, and no xposed at all.

Since I am not experiencing the problem it is hard for me to find a fix for it. Is there anything different between our setups that you can think of?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] johnny crapple:
I have exactly the same thing, I uninstalled the xposed framework and it still happened. Maybe I got bad downloads and need to download from PC and move it to my phone, I will have to do that later though. What I am doing now it's trying a totally different ROM (GE) since it happened on 2 4.4 tw ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mohan_kr:
Stock kernel from source (I have rarely seen the GPL being honored by Sammy

kernel source release, i.e. matching the binary with exact source tag), I always distribute my ROM w/o kernel, to eliminate any nuances so running stock binary kernel is a hard requirement for me :).

Thanks for the reply, it turns out that I always use the smali/baksmali that I compile from AOSP sources, in this particular case, it is what was causing my issues. I used the external smali/baksmali tool (which I don't like to use) and it works. (I was building it while posted my question, sorry should have waited :), but didn't want to go through a whole cycle of flashing a full rom, if there was somthing tricky)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
You could just try disabling selinux in the initramfs with the stock kernel. Just use the same zImage.

I wonder if the smali/baksmali you built was from the main branch? If so it could have had incomplete code changes vs one of the stable milestones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mohan_kr:
As you know, sammy disables that by default (runtime change of selinux status) in their binary kernel distribution (at least on my device for sure)

I always line up the source with the build name/tag in this case KOT49H/4.4.2_r1 with the OEM release, always worked in all previous version, this is the one that looks like is missing something or sammy is lying in their build number :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
Hmm, interesting, I had it in my head that the samsung binary kernel took it's selinux status from the boot args.

TOTALLY possible. I wonder if they are using a newer version of dalvik than the rest of the aosp source they built from.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] froader:
Fenny

Just flashed today and liking so far - thanks for your time and efforts.:good:

Thanks for the APK. ADB didn't seem to like the commands, so I did it in Root Explorer.

Looks like it was just the Calendar and not the Widget.

I restored "Calendar Widget 1.0" from my previous 4.3 ROM and can upload that if it helps anybody out.

Do you foresee and problems with running Ktoonsez kernels?

Thanks!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] legato89:
So far the ROM is working well for me. No random restarts or settings being erased out of the blue. Occasionally though IPService will drain the battery. Rebooting the phone seems to fix it, but it seems to wakelock because of this every few days, and I think it has to do with Wifi Calling (please correct me if I'm wrong). Any suggestions on how to fix this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
You're suspicions are correct IPservice has to do with Wi-Fi calling, I had the same issue on day one with the Rom. A reboot and toggling Wi-Fi calling on /off cleared the problem, have not had battery drain since that one time episode.

Running with exposed /wannam and all is well.

Sorry. My bad for not providing any info. I was getting random reboots on:

Kernel included with this ROM (fenny3.4)

MDL bootloader and radio.

I upgraded the modem last night to NB4, as per the link in op. No reboots so far today. So hopefully it's fixed.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
Yeah kernel-radio issues could cause the issues you are describing. Sounds like that may have been it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Oscar_david:
Actually though something really strange happened after I installed the modem. The brightness slider disappeared from the notifications drawer. I tried turning it off/back on in settings but no dice. Any ideas?

I'm about to reflash the rom. I'll report back.

Cheers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Oscar_david:
Still no good after reflash. :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Oscar_david:
Trouble shooting the missing brightness slider issue, I managed to soft brick. :eek: (That happened after using Mobile Odin to try to revert to mdl modem).

I'm back and running, but it was a B, since my recovery partition got corrupted. Twrp refused to stick and I had to hunt down cwm, which did ;).

The good news is that after all, it appears the missing brightness slider was unrelated to installing the new modem. It must have been something else I did and didn't notice.

Anyhow, hope not to clutter the thread too much, but just in case this info might help others. At least as a warning not to use mobile Odin to revert to mdl modem.

Cheers.

Can't flash

I keep getting invalid argument "expected 5 received 4" error when I try and flash. I am using Clockwork recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kaseykrehbiel:
You can't use cwm. Download Flashify from the Play Store and install twrp with it. Then you can flash this ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mewikime:
Hi fenny. I've been having a problem with the Play Store in that Carrier Billing isn't enabled. The option is greyed out, with the note

Having been able to do this in the past I've contacted T-Mo twice and there are no blocks or provisions on my phone, so my next guess is something has been removed or changed in the Rom. Is there something that I should add back in from your depository of debloat?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
I just tested on my device. I was able to get the t-mobile billing option to show up. It made me put in my name and zip code, but it activated just fine. Did you restore data from titanium? Or was it perhaps a dirty flash? If you had it set up before, the old data could be conflicting.

P.S. Niiiice battery usage this last run:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mewikime:
I've noticed the battery life :D

I didn't restore data for play store from titanium, but it was a dirty flash from 1.2 to 1.3. I'll restore some old nandroid backups and see what it does, but we have my son's phone blocked from international and 411 calls, and despite what T-Mo says I suspect they have something set on all phones or the account. :(

I'll make my phone the parent phone and see if that changes anything, too (T-Mo only allow one parent phone on the account, because - and this is what they actually told me - "most families only have one parent"!)

Seandroid Enforcing

Hi

Usiing TWRP 2.7 1) Wiped System/ Data 2) Installed ROM 3) Installed Modem using Odin 3.7 then Got stuck on "Kernel is not Seandroid Enforcing - Set Warranty Bit : Kernel" how do I get the phone booting normaly again?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
Sounds like you have the new bootloaders. This is the second person who has mentioned having this problem. Flash this with odin: http://www.cheatersedge.org/android/m919/bootloaders.tar let me know how it goes.

Installed Bootloader ... a Factory Reset then reinstalled Rom and Still Stuck on "Seandroid... "

Then tried to flash stock via Odin 3.09 and Failed now I got a "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. ... " Any help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
Okay, sounds like a problem with your cable possibly? Which stock image did you flash? The one in this thread?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
You did not say where you started from - modem/bootloader, KNOX?,and ROM before you wiped. Also did you make a backup before you started ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
I am going to flash the full new firmware, and allow my phone to have knox. I'll let you know if I can reproduce the issues y'all are having.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
Don't thrown your phone under the bus (KNOX) - won't that negatively impact your being able to develop for non-KNOX devices ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
Ahh, damnit, good point. I'll have to figure out another way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
I thought KNOX'd phones only had to either go stock and accept the OTA, or ODIN the stock OTA firmware and not mess with separately ODINing the modems.

I accidentally KNOX'd a friends S3, and then re-rooted it and flashed new ROM without issues (it was out of warranty anyway).

I'm in XDA since my first Samsung with Macromedia and my first HTC HD2 flashing Android from SDcard dualboot, so I like "testing"..

Here's what I got so far ... after the triangle between the Phone and the Computer tried to install recovery via Kies, No luck missing OEM Recovery. Then installed succesfully CF Root. Installed Succesfully CWM Philiz Touch 6.08.9, but can't install any ROMS. Noticed on the Triangle Screen a micro message "Write; Protected' in RED seems like /ext sdcard is not writeable OR maybe something else, but got clockworkmod in it as the only file so it is writeable, but ext/ sdcard Volume is not detected. Tried to Install your Fenny ROM Again and is stuck at the Kernel and then Reboots to Recovery. Installed Fenny Kernel 1.2 from CWM and Still rebooting to recovery.

I would like to test and alternate method to solve this problem other than re-flashing the STOCK ROM with Kies. Any Ideas...thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
Hmm, interesting. Write protected could refer to the radio. You can't flash recoveries via odin? I could tar the latest stock CWM if you want to try flashing it with odin.

Alternatively we could do something a bit crazy, and replace the recovery kernel with a normal boot kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fencell:
Do you have a link to the Stock 4.4.2 recovery? Will try to get back to stock recovery and try Kies again.

I just noticed that you can bypass PIN lockscreen when you reboot the phone and slide to unlock. The lockscreeen will not have the PIN numeric pad, as if it weren't enabled, and you can just unlock the phone normally. Afterwards though, the PIN security takes effect.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
Yep, that is a side effect of disabling a knox feature to allow PIN lock on the phone to work at all. (Either that or it does the same on stock 4.4.2)

Others have mentioned this but I have yet to experience it. Any ideas what might be triggering it? Have you noticed any patterns?

I got one 4 days ago or so, but none since.

I'm testing a kernel built off of the linaro tool chain at the moment. Seems a bit better performance wise overall than the AOSP toolchain. I am thinking I might switch to building with linaro.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
Hmm, sounds like it might be an issue with the stock firmware itself. The real question then is what is different between my device and yours that causes it to express the flaw on your device, and not on mine. It could be the particular configuration of towers in your area, or it could be something to do with modems and basebands, or even the hardware in our respective devices.

FYI, I am using absolutely NO Xposed modules.
