I dunno. With all the 3minit stuff and other addons with this ROM, I sort of don't wanna tinker with yet more customizer utilities. That'd be the first I've heard of all the modules going away though. I've even deleted exposed/wanam before and the tweaks stuck (like notification bar text colors staying changed and sizing options staying the same after uninstalling)

I have increased the bluetooth settings in kernel options to 1ghz and music still skips for me, even when screen is on. I have an older version of the KT Kernel though b/c I'm not running NAE, which is what the kernel says it is for so I'm sticking with the baked-in version on this ROM. Would it be safe to recovery flash the new one despite that I'm running MF9 still?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
No I'm on MF9 bootloader with MF9 modem right now and it's working well but I've previously used NAE modem on MF9 bootloader with no problem. I was unable to use either NG2 modern or stock kernel without breaking WiFi, even with the stock rooted NG2 ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rsngfrce:
I suppose I should mention that I have my I/O Scheduler set to noop (because from what I have heard, that is best) and my internal read ahead and external read ahead are both set to 1024 (did a bunch of testing, which is confusing, but I figured those gave the best overall results). (I should also note that I may at some point have said, either in this thread or elsewhere here, that I was using the ondemand governor, but I don't THINK I ever was, I think it was interactive, at least that IS what I am using now.) I also chose the "Load Defaults" options to remove all the Ktoonsez settings and whatever, then made the few changes of my own.

You SHOULDN'T have to get the settings right (what is RIGHT? Don't choose the WRONG governor!?!). It's very annoying, but it seems for some reason to be an issue that only a limited number of us have, for whatever reason...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] arikdahn:
Yep, using the KT recommended settings, governor, and scheduler with the newest release, I still get music skips over Bluetooth. I will try your method next, though I feel like the undervolting can be applied to just about all of the governors for the sake of power efficiency. I want to say I spent a couple weeks once getting each clock division volted to just above rebooting and averaged around 100 lower than the defaults across the board, but I did not notice any battery usage benefits to speak of, same with the GPU. I think the actual hardware itself is vastly more responsible for determining the battery life rather than software tweaks (within reason of course assuming based on stock somewhat optimized clock voltage etc etc).

UPDATE: I checked using noop as the scheduler. Still skippin! Everything else is default. I also reset to defaults and it caused a reboot. I had to reinstall the kernel daggonit!

FINAL UPDATE: Okay fellas. I also have a TF101 (ASUS Transformer, POWER TO MR TIMDURU FOR KEEPIN IT OLD SCHOOL!) It works great and I've NEVER had kernel issues on it running the row scheduler, so I thought what the heck. I have no idea what this does, so what better way to tinker than try it out. Turns out that stopped all music skipping.

TLDR: If your music is still skipping, go with the row or cfq schedulers + ondemand governor + 1024 read aheads + undervolt 50 on CPU, 75 on GPU, and call it a day. Leave the rest alone, but tweak the LED behavior b/c it looks cool as hell with fading enabled.

UPDATE: Well it didn't skip for a while... and now it's back to doing it again. I have never had trouble with other ROMs skipping. Maybe that's the problem and where we need to start testing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rsngfrce:
The battle rages on! ;)

I just loaded the kernel default settings so I could be sure exactly what I have modified. As I mentioned, I'm using the interactive governor, which is the default. Also, internal and external read ahead buffers are 1024, which is the default. GPU is ondemand, which is the default. The only changes I have made from the default settings are changing the scheduler to noop, Media/Music Min Mhz to 702Mhz, Bluetooth Profile Mhz to 702Mhz, and set options on boot to 1 second delay.

I am using the newest KT-SGS4 KitKat TW version 7.12.2014. With the above settings, I have no audio skipping, I believe I have not had a freeze while charging and (still knocking on wood for this!) have not lost my mobile connection. It is important to point out however, particularly since we are discussing this in THIS thread, that I am not using Sac's rom, I am on NAE stock rooted with MF9 bootloader... the kernel settings may well act differently on different ROMs.

(By the way, I did have the audio skipping issue on NAE stock rooted with this kernel which is why I changed the media and Bluetooth settings from when I was using Ktoonsez's settings. Not sure I still need to but it works for me.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rtwrobert10:
So has the service loss been fixed for sure? I read back that it was a kernel issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] elwood:
I've used the Negalite NAE Stock Kernel and have no issues with data loss, where as with the Ktoonz kernel I always experienced data loss, unresponsive deep sleep so I haven't had the urge to go back and mess with it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rtwrobert10:
Thank you very much :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
Update from me: since applying all the ktoonsez settings except with governor as ondemand, read ahead buffers at 2048, sio scheduler, and 486MHz media min, I'm getting NO skipping and NO unresponsive while charging, BUT I did lose data a few times today and couldn't get Airplane mode to toggle on and off without a reboot. So if there are settings that resolve that issue, I haven't found them yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rsngfrce:
I'm thinking I may need to start a thread on KT-SGS4 Sprint issues, as we seem to be taking over this thread somewhat... :eek:

Wifi Hotspot

Love it! This version is really a well developed custom ROM its almost flawless. Unfortunately when I activate the wifi hot spot I get a toast notification telling me "hotspot not supported" and because this feature is required for work I sure would like to know if there is a resolution so I can use it as my daily driver. It's quite the task finding a ROM that fits perfectly and this one is very close.

Thanks for the help and the ROM!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] elwood:
You just need to flash the hotspot mod. It's somewhere here on xda
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Sinister254:
Mine works
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Zaileion:
There are several. One for the s5, one for the note but I cannot find one that works for the s4. I tried the ones for the s5 and note and had to reinstall the rom. Does anyone have a link to a fix they've tested?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
Interestingly I found the phone unresponsive this morning with LED fading blue in and out. Had to hold power to reboot it. It was NOT on a charger. That's the behavior I've typically seen when it was on the charger sometimes. Curious. Need to try more KTweaker settings, I guess.

(Just read this in a new post in the KT-SGS4 thread as a cure for the audio skipping issue, don't remember if it has been mentioned here before or not: Change disable_hotplug_media from a 0 to 1)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Alpine-:
OK, so I'm a little behind fellas. Been away from forum for a long time once sacs moved off here to his private forum. Haven't been following any rom stuff at all actually.

So sac rom v6 is latest, stable, no major bugs. Sac is back on xda and updating his dev thread here. 3minit is also back in dev and baked in the rom and his thread is active here too. Right? All great news if I'm correct...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bombillazo:
Any details on this rom? The original post still lacks details and specs for this ROM... :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
Just flash and find out. If you don't like it. Flash another.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bombillazo:
Hehe im a bit cautious about flashing randomly xD

When flashing from one to another i dont have to reflash stock rom right ? I just wipe data/factory reset?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] elwood:
Correct. I have gone from Negalite to this rom with no problems.

Hi, I'm on rawintellect's Mk2 stock(ish) v6 would I have to do anything special to install coming from the Rom I'm running
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
Probably not. You could just wipe cache and dalvik and flash it. I always recommend a clean full wipe first though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shallmrt:
Thanks, I had the same question, and sometimes people just make the answers harder to find. LOL
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] arikdahn:
So I've managed to fix the music skipping problem guys! It's called, ditch KT kernel and go with Nega. It solved all my problems.

I'm now having another one. I have lost the wifi hotspot option from settings randomly and when I reflash the rom and go back to baked in KTK, it's still gone. I tried to up my radio from MF9 to MK2 and ODIN crashed mid-install for some reason. So I did a reflash to MF9 using the one-click via ODIN to put back to MF9 stock rooted. I reflashed TWRP and threw this ROM back on there. I ran through the first boot and checked settings... IT'S STILL GONE. I then went back to triforce 5.4, a native MF9 ROM and... yep it's still gone. I use my hotspot at work a lot. What exists on this phone that is lower than the dang bootloader? I am nearly positive that that MF9 one-click utility erases and rewrites everything that can be rewritten. What have I done?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Zaileion:
Looking for a hotspot fix...

Ok. I tried both of those links b4. But I tired them again since you posted I figured maybe I did something wrong. They ultimately both link to the same app galaxy tools hot spot for the note 3 and when I run it it kills my mobile data and I need to reinstall. I'm using a 720t if that matters any...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] arikdahn:
In in the same boat as you buddy. I have tried everything and this problem even spans across different ROMS radios recoveries and bootloaders on my phone. One day tethering just disappeared from the settings menu. Using the sqlite route I was able to get the menu back but it no longer works. Clients cannot get an IP.. I don't know what heppened but I'm convinced my phone will never tether again. Im at a loss and created a thread in the troubleshooting section but its not attracting much attention.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-sprint/help/wifi-tether-disappeared-t2877341
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Zaileion:
Half the point of a custom room is for tethering...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] arikdahn:
Exactly how I feel. Back in the day it was because the stock roms for these phones were **** slow and glitchy. I think since the MK2 OTA update, the slowness and lag was gone so yeah, pretty much only reason for custom roms for me is wifi tethering, which is now broken for some stupid reason. Even unrooted off the shelf ROMs no longer display tethering for me. I even redownloaded the OTS update to the latest and greatest and the phone updated itself in stock recovery and it's STILL no workie. This hadn't happened till I downloaded this ROM either. Not saying it's the reason why, because how could it be? How could anything be? I thought when you wipe the bootloader, modem and PIT partition, you are completely blanking everything out aside from the drivers and download/ODIN mode, but apparently there is something else underneath it all that my phone is still using to kill the tethering of any ROM TW or otherwise, that I use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
Am I the only person who experiences horrible audio screeching when using negalite r50 with V4A? That's why I have to stick with KT.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Zaileion:
Love the rom. would use it permanently if it had hotspot

I've used other versions of sacs custom rom and hotspot worked perfectly. I would use this version (v6) and beyond as my daily driver if only it had hot spot.

There has to be a way to fix it. If anyone had any ideas please post them. I do much prefer this rom over all others based on TW but require a hot spot for work. Again, if anyone had any ideas please post them.

Thank you for the assistance.

I'm using the sph-l720t with nc6 baseband.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Alpine-:
Ditto. For what it's worth, it's the NG2 modem that seems to have borked things. I don't see another rom with it working unless on the older radio/modem. Not seeing working hot-spot anywhere for NG2.

He just released an NG2 specific rom as well! Check that out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] arikdahn:
I had zero problems with this ROM and hotspot using Nega's Kernel and MK2. It seemed to be the sweet spot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] elwood:
I am on full NAE with Negalite NAE Stock Kernel using this rom with working hotspot. Zero issues
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Zaileion:
Can you link to nega's kernel and mk2 please. I'm quite familiar with things but can't find them in the xda sprint s4 threads..

for the Kernel

for the firmwares. Make sure your dog doesn't unplug your phone during an ODIN transfer. I believe doing this broke a part of my wifi radio assembly since my phone will no longer wifi tether and nothing fixes it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
So...apparently the issues I have with "HeadsetIcon" and "Tactile Player Pro" not working consistently on this ROM are due to a bug in Android 4.4.2 with Start_Sticky services getting killed. The fix is in 4.4.3 (or 4.4.4.) but when do we get a TouchWiz-based ROM with one of these Android versions?!? NG2 is still 4.4.2, right?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Alpine-:
I just want to bug free custom rom that works with latest firmware/radio (NG2) and has working hotspot. I'd hoped sac's latest was it. Am I right? His NG2 rom is brand new and seems to have a lot of bug complaints.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] arikdahn:
Well truthfully, this is almost always going to be the case. Brand new anything is going to have its list of bugs to work out. I used to feel similarly about this but now I just want something that works... I don't care about versions, releases, etc. Having sprint in the first place is an awful curse I wish I could undo and their service is so terrible, I don't need KT kernel causing me to have to reboot my phone all the time b/c of data dropouts. I had this ROM working fine with negalite's till I tried to tinker with it for the sake of "software versions" and now something's damaged below ODIN-level and the phone will not tether no matter what I do. Lesson learned.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Alpine-:
I'm on stock rooted NAE (everything NAE). How well will it work to Odin the NG2 modem tarball then just flash this Sac rom from recovery?
