Installing

Hey everyone,

I'm a beginner in installing custom ROMs and etc. as im planning to install a ROM for the first time... What I need is correct me if im wrong...

So basically first of all I have to root my phone.. After that i need to install TWRP recovery.... Then i flash the latest modem and bootloader with Odin and finally I flash the rew ROM with TWRP... Of course after I wipe data cache etc. Is that correct?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniel772:
just a long shot ..

but my battery life is not as good as it used to be and it looks like bbm is the cause of that.

so does anyone know any fix/mod to help .. or some application files that i can alter ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniel772:
yes that's correct.

There's no need to wipe data .. there is an option in aroma installer which you will see when you flash the rom.

Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I tried to search and could not find a solid answer. Is it possible to update the rom without having to do a full factory wipe? When I update the rom I have to re-download and re-configure everything. If it is possible, how do I do it?

Hard Brick ?

Hi,

I have been using this rom for some time now and never had any issues with it

I installed the 03/03 update through OTA, everything was working fine. The phone did random restarts but only while charging in the first couple of days of the update. Today I left it on charge, came back and took it off and manually restarted the phone and now it does not turn back on at all. I have tried all the button combinations but it does not turn on at all. No LED, nothing on screen, no boot screen.

I am not sure what happened, I want to get the data off the phone's internal storage if that is possible.

Random Reboots

I apologise in advance if i've missed the answers as i'm a noob, but have searched for the issues we're experiencing without any luck.

I have installed this ROM on swmbo's S4, and it works great. The main issue she is having is that the phone keeps rebooting, approximately every 15mins whenever on standby, no problem when using it. Is this an issue that is common? I have installed with all the 'stock' options, so could i have gone wrong somewhere here? The phone was stock prior to installing this so i haven't manually updated anything else.

Another issue that i have noticed is that i am unable to send any files by Bluetooth/Wifi Direct to her phone, i can view in the search on my phone, but the files never get as far as approval for receiving.

Thanks in advance!

Will this work on the Koodo SGH-I337M?

import firstTimePost

Now that that is out of the way, I'm just getting into the world of rooting, ROMs and actually owning my phone and this ROM looked like a good place. I just got a new Samsung galaxy s4 from koodo (SGH-i337M) which I believe is i9500, but the ROM looks like it's meant for i9505. Is this going to be a problem because I really wanted this phone but not all the bloatware that comes with it and this seems like a good alternative.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shakez00la:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shakez00la:
It didn't break my s4 although I ended up flashing the ROM a few times to get everything how I want it (I have a post further up in this thread about my experience). There's always a risk of bricking your phone if you mess with flashing, make sure you read up on it before you do anything, something that does break that I didn't expect to miss is some of the Samsung stuff like the camera app or the s planner which I actually liked, even s health I kinda miss. As for TWRP what I did was first I used Odin by chainfire (http://autoroot.chainfire.eu) to root my phone, look up your model number (and/or look for jfltecan) and carefully follow the instructions. Once you're rooted you can boot into recovery and flash this ROM. OP mentioned making sure your modem (baseband) is up to date but I'm foggy on how that works, I just made sure my stock firmware was up to date before I rooted.

Samsung apps don't work on this ROM. For ANY calendar app to properly sync with Google, you need to install Google Calendar, although you may be able to get away with the AOSP version. I found that out the hard way about the calendar not syncing when I tried using Jorte, only to find my information not in it. In fact, both Calendar and Messenger were pulled into the Play Store. While that's not a big deal for us, it does impact the AOSP users and developers, as the AOSP versions of the two apps will never be updated.

You didn't read my post too closely. I mentioned which calendar I use. ;)

On a serious note, I use Jorte. I don't know about the screen sharing and push to YouTube features as I never used them. The only reason I have Google Calendar installed now is for its sync feature, and I may simply yank an AOSP copy from another ROM and drop it into this one. It would save me 18MB of space.

You can choose in aroma what kernel you want to install. No need to flash kernels separately. And, yes, Googy-Max kernel seems to work best.

Performance wise they scored the same in AnTuTu.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznpos531:
I flashed to the latest build of this ROM last night and have run into some issues as described below:

When in a call the screen turns off and I am unable to turn it back on. This poses a problem when I'm checking voicemail as I can't use the dialer to input passwords and whatnot. Occasionally the screen will turn on briefly and turn off again (still in the call). During these brief intervals I can see that the signal bar displays no service (0 bars) however the interval is so brief I am unable to use the dialer or hang up. In addition, the call volume is unbearably loud such that I am unable to hold the phone to my ear. The volume rocker doesn't seem to change the volume.

The screen does not return to normal until the call is terminated (the other party hangs up). Once the the call is terminated, the screen turns on and a few seconds later the signal returns to normal.

I've tried to find settings for the phone app to keep the screen on while in a call but I haven't been able to find anything related to the phone app in the settings menus.

Everything else in the ROM seems to be working fine with the exception of OTG. I am unable to connect anything be it a USB flash drive or an external DAC/Amp. One of the reasons I was looking forward to Lollipop is the native USB audio output but it doesn't seem to be working at the moment. I'll be reluctantly going back to Touchwiz for now until this ROM becomes stable.

I can confirm that Xposed for Lollipop (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811) works flawlessly with this ROM. All the modules that I had installed previously on TW work without problems.
