There is no "better" recovery for any particular ROM

Recovery is totally unrelated to ROM so it doesnt matter if you have PhilZ or TWRP.

There were updater-script issues with Philz months back regarding incompatible format commands, but these have been ironed out by Philz for quite some time now

You can either flash through odin, or download the img file and flash via the dd command at an adb shell prompt.

I've not used any to do so, but there are apps on the playstore to flash recoveries with, goo manager/twrp manager/flashify etc
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] djmik21:
If you search a bit there is a flashable zip for both twrp amd philz which you can flash through your current philz recovery. Also there is an aroma recovery chooser here on the forums for the s4 which you can use to choose between different recoveries. I have to say that i am using ktoonsez twrp recovery for a long time and haven't had a problem since.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gabi11:
Yeah, I saw the aroma installer.

This is the link I attached to my post.

I think I'll read a bit more and decide which one to flash.

From what I understood so far, it doesn't seem like a crucial decision as long as I have an updated recovery...

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dawgdoc96:
I've been on your gpe ROM for about 2 weeks, love it. Can't decide if I should try this one, I think the gpe is the longest I've been on a ROM, lol.

Is stock CM11 M9 kernel a keeper, or Alu/KT worth a try? I miss a few custom settings I like with the latter 2.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] LuRock:
If you like theming then you can't go wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sancho_panzer:
CM11/M9 kernel is the best I've got from CM till now, same juice Alucard used to give me, for me it's a keeper. Don't know if you care but I remind you that CM kernel is SElinux enforcing mode, Alucard is disabled.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
m9 is stable as a rock and doesn't need any tweaking, it's snappy and gives me good battery life
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
I'm getting strange behaviour when opening an adb shell:

C:\Mobiles\Samsung\Linux\SDK\External\ADB>adb shell

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

←7←[r←[999;999H←[6nshell@jfltexx:/ $

This ←7←[r←[999;999H←[6 doesnt seem to have an adverse affect on the PC, as after this, everything is ok, but if I try to run a script in Script Manager, the script just hangs trying to open. I suspect it has something to do with this strange character sequence.

I think this is a busybox issue, as this sequence seems to be in busybox resize.c source

If I type resize at the $ prompt, then this sequence is repeated.

The rom comes with BusyBox v1.22.1 bionic (2014-08-03 22:22 -0700)

Dan, would you think the Dorimanx Busybox you bundle with GPE cause any problems on this ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
Selinux enforcing is my best guess but you can give it a go
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
does this happen for you too then Dan?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
i never run adb shell and haven't had time to test today, what are you even using this for mate?

also have you given root permission to use adb in superuser settings?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
I replaced bionic busybox with dorimanx busybox which I pulled from your GPE ROM, and this now works for Script Manager
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
should only effect crazy Welsh folk who use this? :P

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
:D

I put CM bionic busybox back on

I found the problem to be in /system/etc/mkshrc

I took out the reference to the resize command within there, now everything is spot on.

:good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
Won't affect this stable branch right away so users of this ROM don't need to worry about this, newer kernels after tomorrow will not work though.

Afterall I really think cm got it right with m9. I'd just codefreeze it lol
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] xxnurrexx:
is it possible to enable fast charging with the included kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] atlharp:
Hey Dan. I did try to flash KT's 7/12 aosp kernel and it did a soft brick. I think there might be a shift in there somewhere. Love the M9 Rom. Very nice.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] churchey360:
I cant use the google now launcher at all. I cleaned flashed latest build and the provided gapps and i tried to uninstall nova launcher because i only use google launcher and ran into alot of problems and had to reinstall nova from the playstore because i had no launcher and it wont let me use the google launcher.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
This is borderline ridiculous, battery life is just amazing! Almost 3 hours on screen including 1 full braking bad ep on Netflix (over wifi) with increased brightness and still more than half the juice left and zero lag. Latest Alucard kernel on stock settings and dalvik. Dan this is definitely a milestone. This ROM and your GE version are currently my checkpoints :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] semakawa:
Thanks Dan for this marvelous piece of art. I feel like having a brand new phone. No bugs or problems here. Thanks for all your efforts and hard time that you put in this beauty.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ianofaraby:
I really want to give this rom a go but have found a couple of issues.

Has anyone been able to install an ad blocker such as adaway on this rom?

I also tried installing xposed with gravity box but that failed too. Perhaps the problem was linked.

Also when I made a phone call, the screen went off as expected, but I couldn't end the call as it wouldn't come back on and the phone became unresponsive for upto 30 seconds.

Are these problems others have had or should I try again with a fresh install. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nitramcek:
This ROM is great. Smooth and fast.

Just looks like infra red doesn't work with cm kernel? Other than that no problems.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sancho_panzer:
AdAway problem is really old try d4rken mod from the OP: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2190753

I'm not using this ROM now but with CM/M9 official and Xposed+GravityBox worked fine on my tests. Don't have the problem you reported about screen off.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] diwakarchopra:
About time! Been waiting for this since ages! Anyway, how can I get those themed dialer and contacts and the stock themed apps you have on the Google Edition?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreiav:
Yes it does. I use it.

But I saw some issues with Smart IR Remote. Instead, I'm using WatchON 6.4.4. It works perfectly.

On Dan's GE it's the other way around :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nitramcek:
Thank you for that info.

Yes on GE it was other way around
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DaReDeViL:
I can make some noise here if you want ...

I have two problems with this rom :

1- the boot time is never the same, it differs by some ms every time

2- when using stock keyboard, if I press between s and d, sometimes it gives s and sometimes d !

I have some more horrible issues but I prefer to be sure before reporting :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dontpannic:
Alucard v2.6.9b AOSP kernel? I'd kill for that battery life, never got anywhere near that! Going to give the Alucard kernel a shot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
Lol
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
this ROM comes with the CM 11 theme engine, start searching :) I don't theme anything on CM roms because they will conflict with the theme engine

for adblock, need to use the d4rken version, xposed and gravitybox aren't needed and should not be used with CM has the ROM supports all kinds of goodies and they will conflict
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
Yes, that's the one I'm using and indeed it provides amazing battery life but I still get more juice on this ROM than in other AOSP based ROMS using alucard's kernel. Also I tried the stock kernel and battery life is great as well. I think overall this is the smoothest AOSP based ROM, alucard kernel is the cherry on top.

Final numbers, it was like buying a new extended battery, insane.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jarylw:
any plans to compile with sm?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Vexxx:
I had this with official cm. At least day 22 and 23 builds had it. As workaround I configured menu button long press to activate menu and that worked for apps that had this issue (galaxy launcher and naked browser). Got tired to long press after while so switched rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
Awesome stuff :)

Thanks for all the hard work and dedication. Running your build and I have to say GE rom is bad (but 100000x better than tw roms) compared to this. Bravo!

What can I say Dan... blooming great old boy!

I have been a big fan of your Google Edition Rom on the GT-i9505 and am pleased to learn that you will be supporting 4.4.3 when it is eventually released.

Have been on the CM ROM for 36 hours, at the insistance of hawkerpaul, and it is a stonking great ROM. I am running it with Xposed framework and GravityBox as there are one or two useful features that I miss but may gradually wean myself off of.

Just one small complaint, as detailed in my Android Forum post, here. Could you arrange to do your releases between midday and 4pm your time please... so I can flash them immediately and still go down the pub! ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] alexis_p3300:

I am trying to install this rom as secondary with your GE as primary but it doesn't want to boot. It vibrates, similar to FC and it doesn't boot. I tried to patch it with PATCHER as CM Based as it is NOT oficially supported yet. Any hints? I installer Patcher app, patched rom and gapps on my PC and send to device. Don't know what could go wrong :/

Wow, great. Now none of the roms work :/ That's fantastic :/ I tried to switch with with DualBoot Utilities and no go. Superb :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
To be honest... Stop using Dualboot OR stop complaining!!

This rom and GE are the BEST roms on the S4! You should be thankful that you don't have to use touchwiz.

I don't get why you would use GE and Cm...use one or another. Both are stable, fast, battery friendly and feature rich (GE with xposed).

I'm using danvdh's cm11 and it's great (hope for sabermod toolchain).

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] NemoKOF:
Wanted to test, so tried dualboot. I love GE, I wrote it 100 times :) I just wanted a simple help. Now I cannot boot at all, my phone is vibrating while booting but phone never boots. But I wrote in GE thread that MAYBE I'm having hardware issues, Camera started acting strange, gave me reboots which didn't happen at the start. Also - it gave me 5-6 last image unable to read/see. This is not good :/ I just hoped for some help.

I LOVE Dan's work. And KT - they are both absolute genius for me :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
Boot into recovery and make a full wipe and choose GE or CM (my only rom) and forget the buggy, not needed Dual Boot. CM is better than GE now. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] NemoKOF:
Really? Any driver/camera issues out there? I just want clean, fast and usable rom. The GE showed me and other people how Samsung's touchwiz is sheety ;) It's SLOOOOOOOOOW compared to ANYTHING (maybe not LG) else. Stock Android isn't perfect but it's fast and that is all I need :)

I will make a backup than and try this rom. My phone booted after Dirty Wipe :) But still, I haven's seen anything like this before - FC on booting ;) Constant FC Vibrations - realy strange stuff.

I got 2hr30m screen on time 50% brightness heavy usage and it only hit 45%battery... Very good in my opinion.

If I may ask, does alucard kernel provide for adjusting audio volumes?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Synergy510:
You can adjust the gain of certain volumes through STweaks, the main kernel tweaking app which is included when you flash the kernel

Thank you for this ROM. I only just installed it now, but I hope I won't have any problems.

With CM 11 installed 2 weeks ago I had many problems with crashing apps, contacts storage issues that also created battery problems and not to mention even a few reboots.

If there are no major issues in 1-2 weeks I will PayPal you some $$$.

Running this rom for over 8 hours now, seems pretty stable.

That being said, there is one BIG issue in this one, my SMS is not working at all. Tried different apps, cleared and reset my settings but it just won't work.

Also, some of the simple features of GravityBox don't work, like swipe in the notification shade to access quick settings. I can live without it, but the sms is something which is compelling me to switch back to GE...

By the way, alucard kernel is giving me pretty bad battery life and unable to charge properly with the USB cable. Going to reflash the ROM with the stock cm kernel and try again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Appok:
Loving the rom but i am having some issues with Bluetooth in my car, i have a 2013 ILX and when i use the bluetooth for my music it will play the song but it wont show the song title or artist it just says unknown, and also the Text message wont work in the car i keep getting HFL is busy. I believe on your GPE edition ROM it works good.

Is there anything i could do? or is it just some coding that is needed for bluetooth?

Alarm and Notification bar

Danv, Thanks for your awesome rom, i just have two notes:

1. Alarm sound is low, and not repeatable for the external ringtones.

edit: I found that alarm sound is being played on the internal speaker !!

2. status and notification bars are not always able to be pulled, specially on full screen apps and games (unlike your GE rom)

UPDATE IN THE OP

08/10/2014 stable

-ADB shell fixed, script manager will now work on CM 11 M9

-Removed Proximity Wake feature from m9 as it does not work

-edited another string in settings>security

-not much else, last build as I think this is way more stable then any other CM build out there.

*dirty flash if coming from previous release is fine, just wipe caches first, no need to flash gapps unless full wiping*

enjoy this guys, you will not find a better m9 build for jflte, I will be using this up until Android L I imagine because I cannot find anything else to fix and I have a feeling m10 will have issues due to the new kernel stuff they did the last couple days
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:

I'm having a weird bug since a couple of days ago, I use my phone as usual but I've noticed that on the battery usage graph the battery seems to "recharge" itself without being on AC (see pic) could be the kernel, the ROM or my battery? Anyone having this bug? I'm on latest Dandvh AOSP ROM on ART and alucard 2.6.9b stock settings.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
a reboot could do that
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dclarkg:
