I've been hungry for an update myself..the lack of WiFi tethering is the most painful thing to me, everything else is moot.

There's a few other GPE ROMs available for the S4. I've been keeping up with each of those threads, but have yet to see any of the devs talk about Safestrap support, besides that it's not supported. I would have thought with this ROM being available, the other devs would have figured it out by now. Maybe they don't even know this one exists and haven't worked on SS support because they think it's impossible to port?

I've been using the ROM for a while and got some pretty good battery life compared to TW NC1.However, that was only on WiFi. I've been starting to use my phone on LTE and am experiencing massive LTE battery drain and crazy overheating when using the device on LTE exactly like I used to on TW. I went from 100% to 81% in about ~10-15 minutes screen on time of straight hangouts group chat usage, with battery temps nearing 105°F. I have no SD card inserted, no battery draining apps for the most part, location settings on battery saving, and brightness at ~20%. Any known fixes? It's annoying because this happened on TW too.

If you move from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4, does it have to be clean flashes or does dirty flashes work just fine?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JeeperDon:
You're missing the point. In most other ROMS, there may be a 'Known Issues:' list on day-one, but the devs or others dig into the list over time to get the list to zero. Not happening here, no squeak (from any one other than me apparently), so no oil... everyone may be happy to just keep using the patches, I'm just saying it's unusual for an XDA rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jmsq:
You can get around the multi-boot process by turning off wifi or putting the phone into airplane mode before shutting down or rebooting.

AOSP/GPE roms (like this one) and TW roms use a completely different device exposed by the kernel for usb transfer. This would be a quick fix if we could replace the kernel, but we can't. My attempts at getting samsung binaries to be a shim or symlinking kernel devices hasn't panned out.

The remaining issues are not showstoppers for me personally. I've tried fixing them, but these last few issues are tricky to fix. Yes the issues are annoying, but it's better than using TW. There's only so much you can do with a locked kernel not designed for GPE.

This is not most other ROMs. This is using a rom on a kernel that it wasn't meant to be used with, it's mostly a hack job. If you want a quick fix, get a phone with an unlocked bootloader, or use a touchwiz rom that the kernel was designed for. You're also welcome to take a look at the rom yourself and see if you can fix the remaining issues.

uconnect, FB sync, and thanks

Ok so so far this rom is running like a champ. I didn't realize how much i didn't like TW till i tried this out. I'm having no problems with paid apps, chrome, wifi, or file transfers. But there are 2 things though that i cant figure if they are me not setting up my phone right coming over to this new rom or if its the rom itself.

1) Uconnect (the Bluetooth based car stereo sync) has a bug that wont allow it to fully connect to my phone. it wont download my phone book anymore to the stereo when i connect to the jeep. it just says action not allowed or something to that effect. this in turn makes voice recognition very hit or miss where as before it was always spot on and it also causes the stereo to announce ALL calls and texts as coming from unkown numbers. Any ideas?

2) FB sync doesn't work. its installed, the contacts option is checked, its listed as an account is settings and Ive hit "sync now" just nothing happens. none of my FB contacts are listed in my phone book and none of my phone book contacts sync with my FB account. Cant figure out why.

Any clues would be great.

and also on a side note thanks jmsq i wouldn't even know where to begin to do what some of you guys do here on xda. its great that there are people who sacrifice there personal time, unpaid, to make roms like this happen. really, thank you, its appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Apoplectic1:
I don't see why it wouldn't work on android L (has it even been released yet?), unless Samsung has given up on .qmg files, in which case I would happily convert this to a zip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hariyali:
Thanks.

Hey Jmsq,

Amazing work. Like many I was extremely frustrated with TW and counting days for when I can get a new device. But this rom has been amazing. Thank You.

Data usage tracking

This ROM doesn't appear to be doing data usage tracking properly, which combined with the Wifi not working sometimes can lead to unexpected data charges. Anybody know how to get the data usage tracking to work on this ROM? I've been doing the soft reboot for wifi but if I ever forget I'd like the data usage warnings to kick in.

I tried to flash this ROM from other Verizon-based ROMs (e.g. Hyperdrive and Eclipse TW).

It seems like this ROM (the rom in this thread) won't work with phones with CSC other than "ATT" installed. In my case, installed the ROM in my Galaxy S4 AT&T(i337) with CSC as "VZW".

What won't work: Cellular (Any functions related to the SIM)

Data usage

Anybody have any ideas on this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jmsq:
I haven't seen this issue, when I use enough data I see the appropriate warnings from Android, however I have unlimited data so I don't track it very closely, but it more or less mirrored what I saw on my Nexus 4. One thing to note is to make sure you have it start/end on the same day as your billing cycle. That should get it very close, but it will never be identical to what your carrier tracks. To see that you'd need your carrier's app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] webpaul:
Data usage

What I'm seeing is very little data at all tracked in the data usage. I was off Wifi without my knowledge and it used 2GB of data (I got a warning email from ATT). That 2GB never showed up in the data usage screen of the phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jmsq:
Power Toggles may do what you're looking for. As far as I know there isn't any Xposed module to do this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] atistang:
So if I want to go back to stock touchwiz to sell my phone. I flash the backup I made before flashing this rom, then unroot with SuperSU, then factory data reset?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jmsq:
That'll mostly do the trick. If you want complete stock you should flash the stock AT&T (or VZW) image from ODIN, then do a factory reset after that. Then the Samsung custom boot logo should be removed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] atistang:
Even though my backup was from the stock ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jmsq:
Possibly. I'm not sure if a backup from safestrap will fully remove safestrap and clean everything up properly, as I've never tried it. I'd try the backup from safestrap and if you still have the custom logo or the safestrap startup splash after the flash and factory reset, then you need to go the ODIN route.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JeeperDon:
Do you really want to sell your S4 with anything other than the way it would look on first boot with the wizard? All but the few of us crazies want it squeaky clean. Do an odin of the factory load.

Wifi Workaround, but: Unfortunately, Documents not working

Greetings,

I have an ATT Samsung Galaxy S4, SGH-I337, original build KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1, which I used Towelroot to root, SuperSU to get su, and safestrap to install and maintain the GPE versions: first 4.4.3, and then 4.4.4.

My phone now shows:

Model number: GT-I9505G

Android version: 4.4.4

Baseband version: I337UCUFNC1

Kernel version: 3.4.0-1125940

Build number: KTU84P.S001.140602

I do not have the Xposed framework installed (yet), and had the same problem of wifi not working has been reported often in this thread. I

have found that if I explicitly turn off wifi before powering off, it will return when I restart my phone. I have made a safestrap backup of my system when wifi is turned off, and have tested that I can restore it and restore wifi even if I happen to power off my phone with wifi on and thus kill wifi.

But I have a problem which I have not seen addressed in this thread: when I attempt to launch the "Downloads" app, I get the error "Unfortunately, Documents has stopped". Even more debilitating, I also get this message when I attempt to attach an image to a text or email.

All I've seen in searching is to clear the app cache and data, but in my case: there apparently is nothing in cache or data for the app, and those options are grayed out.

Can anyone suggest a cure?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Apoplectic1:
The wifi does the samething on mine, though I never turn my wifi off so I've never noticed it before.

However my Downloads app works just fine, as does attaching pictures to test and email. I am able to wipe cache and data for apps as well. I have the exact same model and build number as you, so the difference cannot lie within that.

Did you clean flash the 4.4.3 ROM? If not that may be the cause. Backup your apps using Titanium backup or the like to your externalSDand try wiping the data, cache, dalvik cache and system before flashing the ROM again new.

Just something odd I did notice was that when I turned wifi off and did a full reset, not only did the wifi switch back on, it completely works. No soft boot needed...

Fix for "Unfortunately, Documents has stopped" on GPE 4.4.4

Thanks: this helped. Yes, I think I did a "dirty flash" when upgrading to 4.4.4, and probably should have wiped completely.

However, I got off easy this time: I noticed in Titanium backup that there was an option to clear the app's data, so I took that, and it worked. Even though the App section in the standard Settings had shown 0 bytes cache and 0 bytes data (as I remember: could be wrong), and the option to

clear them was grayed out, the Titanium app managed to clear them, and I avoided a reinstall.

This also worked for another app that was giving me the same error: QuickOffice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] *system error*:
Another option for file xfer is using an OTG cable along with a file manager. No need for an app like stick mount which I have to use on my stock Nexus 5.

I picked one up on Amazon for like 3 bucks.

Es file explorer also supports file transfer via a lan.

Awesome work on this ROM.

Went back and forth from this Rom to others. This is by far my favorite! I got used to not having MTP and use ES File Explorer wifi transfer for most things, and ADB Push/Pull for large items.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Stryke_the_Orc:
If i didn't think there was enough development to warrant the move, I wouldn't have moved it ;)

But yes, there had to be a significant amount of work put into this to bypass the locked bootloader issue, it gets updated, and avoids tripping knox. Can't get that from a stock tar cut and paste :good:

i've been flashing roms on my s4 for about a year now. i was able to use the loki exploit to flash aosp roms but sadly that phone is no more. :( thru the bestbuy insurance i got a "new" s4 not thinking about it coming with kitkat pre-installed; locked bootloader. i've read plenty about why you can't flash aosp thru a locked bootloader so i do know that much. anyway, i salute you for finding a way to get the gpe rom to work with safestrap and all that!! so now for my noob if not stupid question. is there any way to do this same type of technique for an aosp cm based rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] RickGrimes411:
To my understanding it is all about the kernel. The locked bootloader prevents other kernels from being used. To flash a ROM with safestrap it needs the stock kernel. CM and other aosp roms do not use the stock Samsung kernel. That's why it doesn't work. This GPE ROM used a kernel that was fairly close to ours. That's why they could modify it a bit to make it work with safestrap.

Others may have a better explanation and please correct me if I'm wrong :)

Sent from S4 GPE 4.4.4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JeeperDon:
As I understand it, it's got nothing to do with SS, it's just that the bootloader (which we can't change) looks for specific markers or codes or whatever in it's matching kernel (NC5 bootloader paired to NC5 kernel). No markers matching what it expects, no boot. The cool thing would be to dig to understand what the Samsung bootloader looks for so maybe we can use any kernel if we can tweak it as needed to make the bootloader happy. I have not looked yet, but I would assume there is a thread about the markers/codes somewhere in XDA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cultof1:
yeah it's too bad there's no way (that i know of) to use the stock kernel with an aosp. it would be too much to ask these devs to do that cause then they would have to put in that extra work, which is for free, just to satisfy those of us unfortunate to have the locked bootloader.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] NighthawkXL:
Gave it a quick run down on my MK2 device, it worked mostly flawlessly aside from the noted issues in the OP. Actually, Chrome "worked" but was unstable and not fit for normal usage. Outside of those I'd say the ROM is stable enough to use a DD if you don't mind the few hiccups. Since MTP isn't working your might want to check our Airdroid to transfer files to and from your device. As for a browser Firefox and Dolphin both are suitable replacements. The footprint of this ROM is small too not much RAM or storage usage, which is a huge plus for the 16GB models of the S4.

With that said, I rolled back to my previous PurifieD setup... but I'll keep my eyes on the development of this.

Great work [MENTION=4446861]jmsq[/MENTION] and to the original devs of the ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jmsq:
Wow, didn't realize there were that many posts here; apparently my thread subscription isn't working. I'm aware that WiFi doesn't come up every boot; I think that's related to the wifi state on shutdown, so it may work every other boot, but a soft reset is enough to get things going usually. I'm surprised that someone got Chrome working at all, as it crashes without fail when opening a new tab for me. If anyone has any idea about the Chrome stability problems or why paid apps have issues I'd love to have some leads on those. While I'd like MTP support to work, considering it wasn't working on the old 4.2.2 Safestrap compatible ROMs I wouldn't be holding my breath on finding a fix, but I'm wiling to try if someone has an idea where in the system that issue may be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Rhymey:
i presume this is because when you flash the rom, your build.prop tells the play store you're on an I9505G instead of an sgh-i337. i have never actually bought an app so i can't confirm but that's my theory. after i switched around my build.prop, all of my apps redownloaded, whereas when it was the one in this rom it refused to redownload any

Upon messing with MTP and logcat, i keep seeing MTPServer come up in errors, and it says the driver/s can't be located. No idea how to fix though as it doesnt specifically say what it can't find
