You know that you are both talented and motivated. I do not know who said what, but the moderator I hope will deal with the issues properly and make it known that there are rules of respect to be followed. The developers on all of the threads including you sickness that put in tireless hours to provide us all with awesome roms and mods.

You sickness have been recognized for your awesome work and you should know that there is great things ahead for you!

I installed the latest mod and everything is working great.

Thank you for your great work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brian117:
I appreciate that...and I hope none of what I'm saying makes me sound like an asshole. You have the utmost respect from me for being the only dev that still supports the T-Mobiles TW based firmware. Just don't want to see you disappear and leave your supporters hanging without some kind of reasoning and seeing you get bashed for it...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vlad2277:
I completely agree with your replies regarding this matter.

Person could be mad, pissed, whatever...

But knowing that thousands of people support you do much and with such knowledge, you don't punish majority simply because 1, 2 or even 5% are idiots.

Such assholes should be just banned, but you don't take it out on the rest of us.

I've always really appreciated everything you guys are doing on xda forums.

*Anyone who needs a ROM, just copy from Fenny's thread. Since Sickness got his base from him, mods would still work.*

All I have to say is that I am very sad to see my bro The Sickness feel unappreciated. I know how much time he has put into making every single one of us happy. I want to thank all of you who helped him and myself answer questions from the new users. I truly believe that most of this new users forget what the thanks button is for. I don't see The Sickness as a recognized contributor but as a great Developer and friend. Please refrain yourselves from making negative comments about him or the reasons why he chose to close the threads. Be respectful and kind. I will still be around to answer questions for those of you who stick around. I am a proud user of Insane KitKat and will be for as long as I have this device. Again thank you all who were appreciative of The Sickness and those of you who helped him school the kids.

I have sat back and read post after post after post. Here in our forums and others. It has made me sit back and chill, and look at things when I was a "user" and not a developer. And yes, I was a user....

I knew coming into this would be somewhat stressful. I also knew I would get pissed at times. But, I also knew that people would enjoy my work as much as I enjoy making it for "you". My problem I guess is that I am a very impatient guy. And I gets the best of me at times. It seems it bit me in the ass this go around.

I want to apologize to ALL, and I mean ALL of my supporters (even the ones that dont have a Insane phone). I overreacted. I guess it was just building up and I blew a freakin' fuse.

I also want to apologize to anyone I may have offended.

With that being said, I WILL Be opening my threads back up in a day or two. (Working on The Sickness Edition V3).

Again, my apologies to you all......

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
It will be easier to help you if you can share more information. Such as method of tethering. If you are using native tethering try using the experimental WiFi tether app in the op. I am a faithful user of it and never have problems with it. Note!! It will give you and error the first time you run it but just simply stop and restart tethering and it will be fine after that. When you open the app push menu and reinstall binaries and set up the app how you want it and profit. Anymore questions I'll be around.

ATT i1337 phone...

I am trying to run this rom on an unlocked ATT phone, I am a tmobile customer.

I have the NB1 Modem (ATT), am using safestrap 3.72. I've flashed the rom and the rom hangs on the boot animation.

Anybody know what I should do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Are you using TWRP?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
The kernel would also keep em hanging at boot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
That's if they flashed a different one before rebooting.

I337 with Sickness V2, modem?

I'm using an AT&T i337 with sickness and I'm having the weak signal issue. I think upgrading the modem will help, but I don't know which one to flash or if it is safe. I am still on the MDL and have AWS enabled. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
It would be best to see about your modem on your forums. You do need to upgrade tho....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
I agree with The Sickness if it is possible to just update the modem then go for it. I would stick with the MDL bootloader.

t-mobile sgh-m919

4.3 installed at purchase

just a few days into the rooting & flashing rom thing and am having great fun with it, despite the trial and errors. the first rom i flashed was cm11 4.4.2 which i liked very much, only to discover that it didn't support wi-fi calling, actually discovered that no aosp roms support wi-fi calling, which is a deal breaker. so i've given insane kitkat a try and am reallt liking it as well, flashed the v8 onlt to quick discover there's now a v9 available, will be flashing that right now. a couple of questions:

1. really like the speedy home launcher (i think it's the s5 launcher?) which i've set as default as opposed to the touchwiz launcher - the thing is when i use it, it doesn't fill up the entire home page, there's a bar that runs the length of the screen, on the left hand side, which appears to reveal a page under it, altho the underneath page is not responsive, if i swipe right all is fine. is it because i only have two pages set up? two pages doesn't seem to be a problem with the touchwiz launcher...

2. would really like to change the boot screen image and animation as well as the lock screen image. is this possible? i don't recall the options during the aroma set up process.

thanks folks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
1) don't know, don't use it

2) use the modz zip to change boot animation and lock screen just change it from gallery or home screen by using the menu button
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kriptik210:
The s5 launcher is still a Touchwiz launcher. The problem you are having in your first question might just be your wallpaper. Reapply the wallpaper and see if it fixes it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
thanks very much, i'll give it a try, but isn't the mod zip already included in the insane zip file, along with aroma that lets you make the mod selections? or are you referring to a different mod zip? also, if you don't mind, i was very stumped by the kernel choices, any recommendation from the mod/aroma list? i've done a search and a "hacker" kernel seems to be the popular choice, but it's not available with the insane zip, nor on xda given it's code from what i understand...

will do and thanks very much! btw a big shout out and tremendous thanks to you guys that put these roms together, just incredible stuff, and much appreciated! rest assured i'll be hitting the donate button once i'm up and runnin'!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kriptik210:
Tgis is mod zip. it has more things that you can flash through AROMA. As for the kernels, all the ones in the AROMA are recommended by The Sickness for his ROM. But you can flash any kernel you like, my fruend =)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2769038
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
ok, thanks! i first flashed insane v8, liked it, now i'm flashing v9, it seems to have quite a few of the same mods contained in the zip you linked to.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2683507

so once i flash/setup v9, i can go back and flash the v4 update you linked to for even more mods, selectable through aroma? also, i've been reading quite a few posts and write-ups about the nb4 modem flash, for those that are having signal problems after the mod. is the nb4 modem included in the insane v9 rom? i'm assuming so given the rom name "Insane Kit Kat V9 NB4 UPDATE". or would i have to flash it separately if needed, as per this post?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2678774

thanks again kriptik
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
1) yes, it has more mods

2) nope, modems must be flashed separately
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
1. gotcha.

2. very helpful.

btw, re the launcher problem i mentioned before, that it didn't fill the homepage screen, well it resolved itself by just rebooting... off to flash v9, v4 mods and the nb4 modem, should be fun! thanks again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Yes, you can flash The Sickness Modz as many times as you wish. And yes, all Aroma choices.

Modems are not included in roms. You must flash that seperate with Odin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
hey, btw, when i first read this post of yours i did an xda search for a "Tgis mod zip", then a google search for it, and came up empty both times. then it occurred to me that it was a mistype, that you meant to type "This" and not "Tgis", and that you were just referring to the link you provided. that'll give you an idea of how friggin' foreign much of this rom jargon is to me, no matter how odd the spelling or reference i think it might be something important! :D

thanks for the second! and an enormous thanks for the roms, mods, and the work you do, just awesome stuff, and the type of thing that makes an old fart like me feel like i'm still using a chisel and stone tablet while the rest of the world is bolting into the future at mach 1!

"unfortunately. settings has stopped." - this is the message i get when i try to change wallpaper for "lock screen" or "home and lock screen", no problems when i select "home screen". fwiw i'm using the s5 settings mod, any thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] williambs:
That is an error that comes with the S5 settings. If you go into gallery and choose an image you can set it as home screen or lock screen from there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Thats a issue with the S5 Launcher
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
thanks, that did the trick! btw, when you say it's an error that comes with the s5 settings, do you mean the s5 setting mod or that, even with s5 unrooted phones the same problem exists? also, a couple of things:

1. when using "my files" (that has the s5 settings icons), the text next to the cloud storage icon is in what appears to be chinese.

2. does the insane rom or sickness modz load a lot of data into device memory? in the past when i looked at storage (settings), the "miscellaneous files" section was pretty small, less than 0.5 gb, unless i had backed up the system to the clockwork folder (i've since changed the path to my external card for system/nandroid backups). but right now it's at 3.80 gb, about the same size it used to be after 1 system backup, and no matter what i do i can't seem to get it smaller. when i click on "miscellaneous files" it lists the items that make up the total (or should i'm guessing), but even if i move some of these folders to my external card the gb size doesn't seem to change. any ideas? btw the "system memory" section is at 6.28 gb.

3. the camera appearingon the lock screen doesn't seem to work, no response when it is touched.

4. is there a good place to find book screen animations that would work for this phone / rom other than those that can be found with the sickness modz? i've searched but haven't been able to find a site or repository that has a good selection. i've tried a few of the boot animations offered by romtoolbox pro, that are listed in the rtbp app, but none seem to want to work.

5. is there a way to replace the advanced reboot/shutdown screen with one that's not branded? the one that i'm using, which was installed with the sickness rom, is branded "sickness" - even tho i'm diggin the heck out of the rom, and will be donating to support the cause, i'd rather not see "sickness" whenever i shut my phone down or reboot, bad karma!

6. altho i'm still just testing the different mods, options and tweaks, rather than putting this phone into fulltime service just yet, the rom (insane) seems to be very quick and stable, it has been a lot of fun getting used, i think it's gonna be great! btw, because everything is so damn quick and responsive with this rom, it makes pressing the home button to return home feel like molasses in january! is there an app or hardware tweak that speeds up the home button reaction time?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
[MENTION=5609827]aeneas1[/MENTION] Wow! I have a limited amount of time so I will answer 1 question at a time for you. I'm not sure if you are familiar with vrtheme but when you flash the sickness modz the aroma file automatically backs up your previous theme. Just in case you want to revert. I am almost certain that you have a few vrtheme backups in 1 of your folders which are taking space unnecessarily. Check your vrtheme folder and free up some memory. This question to me was the most relevant. The other ones I think your just being picky about. Remember this is a heavily modified ROM which most if not all of us users come here to XDA to find and enjoy. Most developers do not do special requests like The Sickness has done and still does. Be patient and I will look into your other requests as soon as I get off work. Your patience is greatly appreciated!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
I just checked the camera shortcut on the lockscreen and it works fine. The 1st time you use it, it will ask you which camera you want to use if you installed more then 1. You can chose which one you want to open and you can make it remember your preference by clicking the always button.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
thanks for you assistance mrzhadow, altho not sure what you mean by me being picky re my others questions? anyway i located the vrtheme-theme folder, had 1 backup in it (systemui.apk 3.39 mb), moved it to my external card, but given it's size didn't change the gb size of my "miscellaneous files".also, fwiw, all of my pictures, vids, thumbnails and docs are on my external card so, again, not sure what's hoggin' all of that space? thanks again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
I don't mean no disrespect whatsoever. Have you checked your TWRP folder and checked if you have a backup there? They can be up to 4gigs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
You can check what is taking your memory by going to settings/more/storage. It will give you a breakdown of the biggest files or apps taking the space.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
not sure why you provided me with this link? i have this extended power mod, it was installed when i flashed the insane rom, not sure if i selected it in aroma during the flash, but i have it nonetheless - i would just rather have a version that's not branded if possible, one that's simply titled "power menu" or the like, like this one which i just installed (although it obviously doesn't work with the power button, which i would prefer!).

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tyler.rebootmenuwidget&hl=en

no disrespect taken at all, all good, just didn't know why you thought i was being picky, that's all... i use cwm and, as i mentioned in my post, i've set it so my backups are directed to my external card, the cwm backup folder on my internal drive is empty, which was the first thing i checked given the "memory files" size looked to be something that a system backup would cause.

again, as i mentioned in my post, i did that, and moved the largest (movable) culprits (and they weren't that large) to my external drive, it's as if a hidden file causing it, something i can't see even tho i have "show hidden files" checked. i've also used toolbox pro root browser, file explorer and my files in an effort to track down the issue, but i've had no luck, probably not enough experience. also, fwiw, the "search" features in the file explorers don't seem to also search sub-folders as in windows, unless i'm doing something wrong? btw, where is the insane rom animated boot screen stored? it doesn't appear to be stored in the usual suspect folders (from what i've read): /system/media/ or data/local/, i just see samsung *.qmg files there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Go to to Settings/Lockscreen. Untic help text. The Sickness Edition will disappear
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
didn't do the trick... are we talking about the same thing? i'm referring to the advanced / power button ui, i.e. when i hold down the power button, then press restart, i'm given the options of normal, hot boot, download or recovery - the menu box title for this ui is "sickness" rather than power boot or power options for example, is there a way to change the "sickness" title, is there a vanilla option?
