[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] elwood:
Flash Ktoonz newest kernel or use a stock kernel. Your issue is in the kernel

Hi, been using this rom for a week now. Love everything about it except the battery. I unchecked the battery option in the 3minit settings but I'm trying to use the xbatterythemer xposed mod, but it's not working. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys, I don't know why I can't download any battery theme at all, it says downloading but no battery theme appears, I only see the ones that are in offline tab. I deleted the icon folder, I don't know if that has to do with my problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cartertucker:
coming from a clean install, I find that my data drops off and I cannot get it back unless I reset (turning data toggle or airplane mode on and off doesn't do the trick).

MF9 and ktoonsez #1

any ideas?

thanks guys
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
It's a problem with KT kernel. Rebooting gets data back. I have this problem and other problems with KT kernel as well, such as the phone refusing to wake up and needing to be rebooted. I lose data access even when my WiFi signal appears great. I also get zero bars of carrier service when I know I should have a great signal. Rebooting gets me going again. Unfortunately there are very few kernel options: KT, negalite, stock. They all have different problems. I'm hoping the updated stock kernel or an update to KT would be better. Someone did say that if you use ktoonsez's own settings for KT kernel that the problems go away but I haven't really looked into that myself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rsngfrce:
SERIOUSLY!?! Have you just answered the the cause of the issue I have been searching for for months with loosing my mobile connection and GPS a while after booting my phone, as detailed in these threads:

[Q] NAE started loosing mobile connection & GPS?

I don't know what to say... :crying::silly::eek::):good::victory::confused: :highfive:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
Okay everybody, I'm afraid I'm SCREWED. I think I did something really stupid last night. I tried using Mobile Odin Pro to flash the NG2 modem last night on top of Sacs v6 to see if if would make my data connection more stable. After supposedly flashing, the phone rebooted and it would never get past the Mobile Odin boot screen. Uh oh. Then I tried flashing the NG2 stock kernel and that didn't help anything. I proceeded to spend the entire night pulling my hair out trying to get my phone functional again. No combination of Odin loading and flashing ROMs or kernels would result in a usable setup again. I can get a ROM to flash and boot but then I can barely get the phone to unlock, or even if I can, the screen goes black immediately or it reboots. If I try to launch to Camera, I get "Camera Failed". It's extremely slow and unresponsive, even with nothing loaded besides a base ROM. I tried using Odin to load the NG2 modem and then flashing the stock rooted deodexed NG2 ROM and the result is about the same as I get on Sacs v6. It's slightly more functional but the camera still doesn't work: "Warning: Server error occurred. Restart Camera." Also the screen is usually unresponsive or really slow. Swiping the screen to unlock either doesn't work or only after a long pause.

Also, WiFi won't turn on, either on Sacs v6 (with MF9 firmware and either MF9 or NAE modem) or on NG2 stock (with MF9 firmware plus NG2 modem)

Can anybody tell me what's going on and why I am not getting good results trying to reset my phone? I am open to any and all suggestions. I REALLY need my phone to work. Help, please.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rsngfrce:
Don't tell me you don't have a Nandroid backup (which isn't what you want to hear...). After you apparently solved MY problem, I feel a real need to help YOU now if I can...:fingers-crossed:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
No, I don't. I don't do Nandroid backups because they use too much space. I might if and when I ever get a 128GB microsd (have a 64GB now and it's always about full of music). I frequent Titanium Backup backups though. So my data is safe, but I need a stable bootloader/modem/ROM setup first. Other ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dschachm:
You need to start over and flash a stock ROM. Either ng2 if you don't care about Knox or mf9 is you do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
I'm open to that. Is this what you'd recommend?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2485502

Will it also reset my recovery? Or will I still have TWRP?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dschachm:
It will restore your phone to how it came out of the package. You will have to start over but if there are issues this is your best bet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JhoonB51:
You will have to install a custom recovery afterwards.... [MENTION=4313202]JesseAaronSafir[/MENTION], curious how you're making out.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] churchey360:
i cant wait to see sacs new ROM for NG2 :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rsngfrce:
This isn't answering your question, but I have a 64GB too, also way too full of music and videos and crap, but I seriously think you need to save space for a least a couple Nandroid backups on there! Titanium Backup is great, but it is not going to recover your phone when you soft brick (well, at least not that I know of...). Lecture over... :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
Okay I'm back in business, except that I'm waiting for my Google Contacts to finish syncing without crashing android.process.acore. That's always annoying and I wish there were a fix for it.

Edit: I just realized that a workaround to the Google Contacts Sync error (where android.process.acore crashes every time you try to sync) is to use Titanium Backup to restore "Contacts Storage 4....CONTACTS/CALLS)" from a time when you were able to sync all your Google Contacts and backup the data for system apps in TB. After restoring the data for this, my Google Contacts Sync works. I know the error goes away on it's own eventually but this is a shortcut. It might even be possible to flash Sacs 4.2.2 v8 ROM, sync Google Contacts there (no problem on 4.2.2) and backup "Contacts Storage" with Titanium Backup and then flash Sacs 4.4.2 v6 ROM and restore "Contacts Storage" there.

I was able to restore my phone with the self-contained executible that launches odin 1.81 and flashes the stock tar for MF9 unrooted. I did find that, even after doing that, I needed to boot to stock recovery to do a factory reset and cache wipe there before the phone would successfully boot the stock image.

Once the stock MF9 was working, I was able to use odin to write the latest TWRP recovery tar file and then was able to boot to TWRP and do more full wiping and successfully flashed Sacs 4.4.2 v6.

Whew. Such a relief to be back online with a stable phone! Now I'm back to waiting for an NG2 update with a more stable kernel.

Incidentally, any time I tried using odin to upgrade the modern to either NAE or NG2, the result was that WiFi wouldn't turn on, even with the NAE or NG2 stock kernels. I re-downloaded the files and they seem the same and I tried student versions of odin. No luck. Has anybody else been able to use the newer modems?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xSkyFlasherx:
does this work on NG2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
NG2 what? NG2 modem? Or NG2 stock kernel? In my experience this weekend, I couldn't get WiFi to turn on when I tried either NG2 modem or kernel or both. So from that perspective, I'd say "No, this does not work on NG2". But it's possible that somebody has gotten it to work and I just haven't had good luck with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] arikdahn:
I have NAE Modem software installed and was using triforce (MF9 ROM) which worked all right but occasionally mobile data would just go away and I'd have to cycle airplane mode/reboot the phone in order to get it back. That wouldn't be a huge deal but unfortunately it left me stranded on the side of the road waiting on the thing to reboot so I could get navi to work. THAT was frustrating. I thought I would try my hand at the newer ROMs out there to see if that would help, but I discovered something odd. Any AOSP/CM type ROMs with vanilla android dialers acted weird and the dialers (phone app) would black screen, flash and go nuts. I could never get them to stop without rebooting the phone while it was in call and because of this, I also wasn't able to use the phone for anything until the person I was talking to hung up. I tried probably 5 of them from the original android development section with the same result. None of the dialers worked. So then I thought I'd try some TW ROMs. That went a little bit better, but any other ones than the triforce ROM seem to discharge quickly. They will not charge at a rate that cancels out me using the phone (it'll die while plugged into the wall using 100% OEM 2A charger if I am playing with it). Again, no big deal EXCEPT that wifi tethering also uses more juice than it can charge. FINALLY I arrived at this ROM which is clearly the best, most complete, and feature rich newer TW ROM I tried. I love it! Then I noticed that my phone on this ROM will not boot while powered off and charging. Normally, for example, you would push the power button while it was charging and you'd see the battery level and charging icon, then you'd hold down the power button and the phone would boot. I didn't even think the ROM is even active in this state, but it must be. I dismissed this, thinking it to be another failROM, so I tried Negalite again and experimented with this. It did this with Negalite as well! So I tried some more. Any other ROM that I tried besides triforce 5.4, holding the power button just made the charging screen reboot, + loading battery status... then back to charging. I have to unplug the phone in order to get it to boot... except with triforce. I am going to try to ODIN the whole MF9 bootloader/firmware onto it then ODIN the NAE firmware to see if this resolves the problem. Any other ideas or do I have a defective phone??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
When data access stops working, are you on KT kernel? That's what I and many others have experienced. That particular issue should go away if you use stock NAE kernel or negalite kernel (but I've had other problems with those kernels as well so for now I'm sticking with KT kernel). As you said, sometimes you can cycle Airplane Mode and get things going again but otherwise you have to reboot. I've had where I can turn "Airplane Mode" on but can't get it to turn off. That's really annoying and sometimes it still won't turn off after a reboot. I think a battery pull usually gets it to switch back off though.

I've also experienced something similar with the dialer/phone where you try to make a call and it acts like it's dialing/connecting, but never connects and you cannot end the call or kill the phone app without rebooting the device. I think that's a symptom of trying to make a phone call while you're connection is not working properly (as discussed above). I've experienced this on TW ROMs. If you're also having that issue on CM/AOSP-based ROMs, that makes me think there's a problem with the modem firmware as well.

The issue of the phone being unresponsive while charging or refusing to boot while charging is also because of the KT kernel. I believe you have to unplug the charger (or take it off the Qi charger) and hold power to get it to reboot. It is like the phone is still on but just unresponsive and screen won't wake up but the only solution seems to be to hard boot it.

You say that TriFORCE isn't having this problem. What kernel does it use?

I am starting to think that the MF9 firmware is best at this point. But I've had weirdness (even this past weekend) where even using Odin to reload all the MF9 firmware didn't get things going again and I had to use the self-contained executible that reloads stock MF9 firmware and unrooted OS load, boot to STOCK recovery and do factory reset and clear cache there, and then boot the stock OS and THEN use Odin to put TWRP back on and do all your wipes and reflash your custom ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] arikdahn:
The Triforce rom used KT as well, as I recall. Oh and NOW you tell me. I just got done trying to throw MF9 back on it and it got 1/3 of the way through and stopped. It then deleted the damn PIT partition so looks like I am as you say going to have to go back through the entire root/recovery/flash process just like you said. Thank you for the help. I feel much better knowing I'm not the only person with these... unique... problems. I will try to avoid the KT kernel in the future I do believe. Only the AOSP dialers give me problems, and I'd LOVE it if downgrading to MF9 will restore the ability to tinker with these other ROMs. Where might I find this self-contained executable to install MF9? I've only ever used ODIN and never any other utilities. I will be lookin' for it while waiting to hear back. Thanks again! UPDATE - found it. Thanks

I'm on NG2 no problems
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rsngfrce:
After I read you saying that the KT kernel causes the mobile data issue (which has been driving me insane, BUT LET ME BE CLEAR... I LOOSE MY MOBILE CONNECTION AND GPS... I CAN MAKE AND RECEIVE NO PHONE CALLS. I CAN NOT SEND OR RECEIVE SMS. WIFI STILL WORKS FINE. The app NO SIGNAL ALERT does not issue an alert because it says I still have a signal, though the phone says I do not) the prior time in this thread, I recently contacted Ktoonsez about this... I did not mention your name, I'm not interested in starting any wars or anything. He says this is NOT a known issue and many thousands of users prove this to be true. He says my issue is likely a conflict between the MF9 bootloader and the modem. I AM NOT saying to YOU are incorrect. He says HE does not have this phone, which makes me kind of wonder? Since I have switched to the INTERACTIVE governor, I have not had the issue (MAJOR KNOCK ON WOOD), I had it with KTOONSERVATIVEQ and PEGASUQ I believe. However, with INTERACTIVE, I have an issue with screen flickering. I also wonder if this has to do with being on NAE vs NG2. THERE IS NOTHING I can find in the KT-SGS4 Sprint kernel thread about this issue. I would just really like to get this cleared up!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] slf123:
Anyone using KT-kernel

I had some problems with KT-kernel including freezing while charging and losing connection just like other have posted. I went looking for fixes and the two things that solved everything for me with this rom is:

Make sure you have the 7/12/2014 kernel from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2288309

Then use the same settings that ktoonsez uses:

With these settings I have not had any problems at all.

Thanks. I went back to 4.3 yesterday after a couple device lock ups overnight and missed alarm clocks in the am. I am back to 4.4.2 with the above settings and will report back if I don't get lock-ups on charging overnight.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
NG2 modem? Or NG2 kernel? Or both? What Odin and/or recovery did you use? What was your procedure? Do you notice any difference?

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

Hey please try the settings that [MENTION=2858249]slf123[/MENTION] referenced and report back! I haven't done this yet myself, mostly because I don't want ViPER4Android to start stuttering my music. The default KT kernel settings provided by [MENTION=2744265]sac23[/MENTION] seem to keep V4A working well and I'm nervous about changing things. However, if I can have my music play well and NOT lose data and NOT have the phone become unresponsive when charging, I would DEFINITELY want to do it!

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

Interestingly my music is playing great on KT-SGS4 from 6/19. I've run KT-SGS4 from 7/12 plenty in the past and struggled with V4A stuttering problems. So here again, I'm a little nervous about upgrading my kernel at this point. I'd guess the ktoonsez settings would probably work the same on 6/19 kernel too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Sinister254:
Modem and the usual I was already NG2 before this rom I just flashed it and it works fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Devilock666:
Awesome rom, everything works except that changes in settings (screen time out, lock screen pin, etc) do not stick and keep returning to original settings. Any ideas, recommendations. Im on MK2, included kernel then downloaded KT kernel 3.4.98 7/12/2014, but still same issues. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rsngfrce:
I did not look at the settings that slf123 referenced, but I did in the past try what were Ktoonsez' settings with the ktoonserativeq governor and I had stuttering in my music. This is easy to fix though, you just have to go into Media/Bluetooth Settings and increase the Media/Music Min Mhz and Bluetooth Profile Mhz from "Selected Scaling Min" which I think it always defaults to, to somewhere around 702 Mhz. I cannot see how making THIS change would cause any data loss issues or such. However, to my memory, I was having my mobile connection loss issues with these settings (even before changing the Media/Bluetooth Settings). SO FAR, I still have not had the mobile connection issue with the Interactive governor and I don't have music stuttering with those Media/Bluetooth settings, but I do have screen flicker when windows open over the desktop. Personally, I cannot understand how Ktoonsez' settings could be considered optimal for our phones, since he told me he does not have our phone? :confused:

(OH... I should add, I have the lockup while charging issue sometimes too, but I didn't realize that was related, I thought I had a bad battery. I'm not SURE it has occurred since I switched to the interactive governor, which is a nice thought.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] arikdahn:
Anybody know a way around the google voice search force close? (running MF9 bootloader and modem).

I fixed it. Just had to titanium backup remove all the crashing progs and reinstall. Thanks to junior user mikeberding for PMing me this info. I knew what to do, I just don't normally like pokin' around in the android OS modules.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] arikdahn:
So I was able to narrow my charging/discharging problems down to the cable I was using to charge the phone. My dog ate my OEM cable and so I bought a 10 for 10 dollars pack off fleabay. Apparently the phone knows this and will only allow around 650mA to the phone using these cables. My what these big companies will invest to keep to the USB standard and yet still gouge us at 50 dollars for the OEM charger/cable. I am on MF9 as I said and am now getting the data dropouts again so I'll be loading up all the KT kernel settings from the previous thread and giving this a shot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
So you're on a newer bootloader with Knox as well, I presume? You were full stock NG2 unrooted with all the latest firmwares before you rooted and flashed this ROM? Maybe the reason I had trouble with the NG2 modem and/or kernel is that I'm on the MF9 pre-Knox bootloader?

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------

That's the first I've heard of these settings not sticking. You might want to start over and see if the issue persists. My screen timeout sticks.

Interestingly, however, in the past two days I've had a new issue crop of up the Xposed Framework not staying active. I have many times awoken my phone to see that none of my Xposed module settings are in effect. I go to the Xposed Installer and it says the Framework is not active and yet when I tap Framework it shows "app_process = 58 active" and "XposedBridge.jar = 54 active". If I reboot the phone all the Xposed stuff is working again. I wonder if Greenify or something is killing the Xposed Framework? Other ideas?
