Thanks for everything. Was able to restore to 4.4.4, unroot, and lock my boot loader.

Also, if you are having trouble unrooting with the version of supersu, update supersu to the version on google play. The one packaged could not unroot my S4. I updated it from GP, and it worked perfectly.

Call with Sview Cover and IT transmitter

can someone tell if the call receiving functionality with s view cover on still works with 4.4.4? I lost that after flashing 4.4.4 (i was upgrading from stock 4.2.2.) , I also lost IR transmitter functionality.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] Mystique:
I do no use IR anything.. My device is rooted and running a custom kernel..

I have heard that certain custom kernel's do not have the IR driver in them (for whatever the reason)..

I have heard that there is an app in the market that people use (can not find it via mobile at this time..) but in the Alucard kernel thread they have recently spoken about it.

Something about 4.4.4 not having support (truly do not know..)

HTH

I got my wife an Spigen case which has integrated Sview.. works fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] kaz219:
I have an S4 Google Play Edition with CyanogenMod 11 M10 and ClockWorkMod recovery.

Now, since I haven't have stock rom on it since 4.2, I wanted to flash this ROM so that camera firmware, baseband etc. all get updated. Then go back to CM11.

Does this make sense?

My baseband is currently I9505GUEUBMKG (I don't really understand when and how it got there, originally I had I9505GUEUBMH1)

I can't check my camera firmware, the dial code has no effect...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
I doubt you'll be able to keep data though, but other than that, it should work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] Chahk:
He should be able to keep data if he takes a nandroid backup to SD Card before, flashes the stock via ODIN, then installs CMR, and does a restore. Neither nandroid nor CM include baseband or camera firmwares.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
Yes, sure, that's fine. I meant more that he couldn't boot up with the data from CM on the standard stock image after flashing with ODIN. But your point is definitely accepted.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] Chahk:
Oh yeah, flashing via ODIN definitely wipes everything in /system and /data. I guess he could use something like Titanium or "adb backup" to backup the apps, flash the I9505GUEUCNF3 image, log back in, and then restore apps one by one. More tedious, but doable. Some things are bound to be lost though like launcher widgets, personal dictionary, etc.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
That was my point....my ODIN images do NOT wipe data so he'd have to do that before trying to boot it. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] kaz219:
Thanks for the replies. So, if I have an encrypted phone, should I flash the stock recovery and do a factory reset of the phone before flashing with Odin? CWM can't do factory reset when the phone is encrypted, it fails at mounting the data partition.

I will make a titanium backup and a nandroid backup to be safe.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
I don't have any experience with encrypted phones but that seems like a solid plan.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] kaz219:
So, the nandroid backup of course doesn't work with encrypted phone, but other than that, everything worked fine. The camera now starts in 3s instead of 6s, much better =) (still not as good as some other phones, I don't know why it is so slow on the S4, at least for me.)

I still need to restore a lot of apps with Titanium Backup, but it looks good so far, baseband is now I9505GUEUCNF3...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
Excellent.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] vwlshrtg:
Hey Samuri -- are you planning to try to create an update of this for L? If so, please know that your work is greatly appreciated :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
I am. It may take a bit longer due to the fact that we may not get root right away. But I have an idea of how I can do it without root so we'll see how it goes.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] muniz_ri:
Fortunately with an unlocked bootloader we can flash a kernel modifed in the following way to regain root after updating to 5.0:

Per chainfire "To fix root, all that really had to be done was ensure the daemon's startup script is run at boot as the root user with the init context. There are multiple ways to do this, but unfortunately for now it seems that it does require a modified kernel package (changing the ramdisk). In the modified kernel packages I've posted for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7, the daemon's startup is fixed by commenting out the line in init.rc that forces the install-recovery.sh script to run as the install_recovery context, so now it runs as init again, and all is well."

Let me know if you need help modifying the kernel once released. Cheers.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
I won't need it to make my images most likely. I can simply flash twrp and open a terminal and dd extract the system image after creating the rest of the images. IOW, the next ODIN image I post will likely NOT be rooted at all as I won't root until I need to. But we will most definitely want to root after we get the update so that would be appreciated by the community for sure.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] Danvdh:
ramdisk edits are easy, I can always help if you need me
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
Looks like that whole boot img patching thing is history in SuperSU 2.2.7. Chainfire is absolutely freaking pure talent.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] muniz_ri:
This is fantastic but wish he would have waited until 5.0 was released for locked bootloader devices. There is a chance new hijack will be patched by then.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
That's always a risk, yes. I refuse to buy any device I can't unlock at this point. I genuinely believe the days of rooting locked bootloader devices is short lived at this point.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] Danvdh:
Get that ota out mate. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
Doesn't look to be quite that simple this time....the update is failing for me. I'm working on it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] jpculp:
To get the update to work I had to:

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

then odin'd your 4.4.4 image, data reset, ran triangle away, full unroot, full erase via settings, then relocked the bootloader and sideloaded the update
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
I'm still trying to get the update installed. It appears to be hung at unpacking files. This is starting to wear thin on my patience.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
And of course as soon as I say that it finishes. LMAO
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] muniz_ri:
Just rooted via recovery using supersu beta 2.79. Seems to work flawlesly on stock gpe kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
I'm about to install TWRP and pull the clean system img (no root) and build the ODIN image for it.

Hello!

Today I tried to change ROM. But something goes wrong I followed all instructions but apparently I pushed Format + Download now does not want to boot. May be it is bricked.

Everything is installed correctly !

The same problem

Hi, seems to be the same with my phone.

Maybe preloader file is not siutable? I think if I would unthick preloader file while I was trying to flash it would be fine. Maybe we need proper preloader file from factory ROM. Anyone who has original working G4SL 1GB/4GB could do flashable backup using MTK Droid Tools and post it somewhere please? It would probably unbrick our phones. Tutorial and download links here for example http://www.needrom.com/mobile/.....roidtools/ . Thank you in advance….

If no and there is problem with accesing NAND flash... I don't know what we can do...format it? Set proper size somehow?

There was similar problem with MTK6577 here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1866962

[Zooper Widget Templates] husker97:
Hey xda. This is my first time using zooper widget. I tried to go with a transparent black and orange theme. This 4x2 widget shows time, date, battery %, battery temp, battery voltage, current weather, current temp, and the days max and min temps. The clock shortcuts to the clock app. The battery shortcuts to the settings app, and the weather shortcuts to the weather channel app. Also in the top left corner of the widget, I put in a small transparent Z to shortcut straight to zooper widget. I am also running nova launcher, Gel app pack, and pie controls. I am really liking this setup and interested to see what everyone else thinks.

while I was looking across the internal memory folders and I had three options UsbDisk (for otg cable of course), Sdcard0 (main link to internal storage I suppose ?) and emulated. when I clicked on emulated I got 2 folders when I clicked on both of them they were both the same. does anyone know what are the differences between the two folders ?

[Verizon LG G2] alphawd:
When Verizon pushed out the KitKat update for the G2, one of the "features" I discovered is that voice dialing from a bluetooth headset got all messed up. Long-pressing the headset button still brings up a voice dialer, but it's an idiotic voice dialer that can't understand what I'm saying and even if it does, certain numbers it just goes "no entry" even though I have multiple numbers in that person's contact file. It's garbage.

There is a way to completely get rid of this and instead use Google Now when you long-press the button on a bluetooth headset. Steps are as follows:

1. Find and disable the pre-installed app called Voice Command

2. Install the app Bluetooth Launch - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kin.bluetooth_launch&hl=en

3. Open Bluetooth Launch. It's going to be a bit funky looking because it's not optimized for higher-resolution screens. You'll see a bunch of really small text with overlapping buttons on the left. It's ugly, but it'll still work.

4. Scroll down to Google Search, tap on it, and it'll expand a list of a bunch of things. Tap on the one that says 'com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity'

5. Pair up your bluetooth headset, and long-press the button like you would to voice dial. You should get a popup that asks which app you want to use. Select Google Search and then 'do this always' to set the default.

This should pop you over to Google Now, which can recognize voice commands just fine, unlike the worthless LG Voice Command. It should also make Google Now the default behavior for long pressing the bluetooth headset button.
[Verizon LG G2] Steamer86:
Nice write up. Stock voice command works well for me along with non NOW search. I've boycotted NOW for it's ridiculous battery drain. At one point NOW and location services were decent in battery saving, recent service updates have made it worse though.
[Verizon LG G2] JimSmith94:
Thank you sir for showing us how to get back to using Google Now. After the latest Google Search update, BT dialing activated Google Dial instead, and this is the only fix I have found for it. So far this is working great on my Sprint Note 3, and I bet it will work for everyone's phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ChevyWarfrat:
Yea use app called alog cat on app store then it will capture the url

How to capture the ota link

When/if you see the notification that you have an update available --

stop everything and run the aLogcat app.

Send the log file to yourself via email (that's built into the app)

Look through the log file on your computer, searching for a URL

Try any URL's that you find on your computer's browser

When you find one that downloads a zip file, save the zip file to your computer

Share that URL

Then upload and mirror it somewhere

First time posting in XDA. :fingers-crossed:

I actually extracted the OTA from the cache after it is downloaded to my phone. File name is 2400258.cfg (file size 423MB). If you rename it to zip, you can actually see the contents in the file.

My update keep error-ing out with message "update interrupted" and I think that is because I have rooted stock 4.3. Doing triangle away doesn't help. I look into the log file under recovery in cache folder and it looks like the installation is looking for some folder/file which I don't have (full log attached). Not sure if anyone try to perform 4.4.2 OTA update on a rooted 4.3 stock rom yet.
