So, as a noobie, I have a few questions:

1. Just to be clear, this is usable for all carriers, correct? I have T-Mobile and might want to try other Kernels besides the default 1 when I install.

2. All I have to do is flash it, I'm using TWRP 2.8.4.0, then I can just change Kernels on the fly? (Which sound pretty EPIC by the way)

3. Can I switch between the 3 Kernels you listed in the OP, which are Stock, Googy, and Alucard? If not, could you list them or any caveats/limitations?

4. Is it possible to add another Kernel to the rotation, as in possibly adding in KT as a choice or something to that effect? I mean is it easy for us the users to do or would you have to do it?

5. Lastly, can this only be used on your ROM or is it relatively safe to use with others as well? Honestly, I'm no Android developer or anything like that and if you'd prefer not, I totally respect that and won't bother asking again.

Although I don't do any Android development myself, I am a programmer and I definitely understand putting in a bunch of hard work, and a bit of your soul, into your code. So, if this is a KangaPop exclusive, that's ok by me.

I have not flashed your ROM yet, but I must say, everything I'm reading is sounding better and better about this ROM. I think I'm gonna make the switch tonight. The LP GPE ROM I'm using is really good, but this ROM sounds GREAT! I just gotta force myself to carve out an hour for it BEFORE I just back into Dying Light. That game making me lose SOOO MUCH sleep, lol! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iB4STiD:
1. yes

2. yes

3 yes

4 i would have to add new ones

5 its setup for how i install things in my rom, but it should work fine on others

feel free to use this on any gpe rom u like, all i ask is u dont mirror the link, if u want just mirror back to my thread instead, and rom developing, is not hard, some may have u believe otherwise or act as tho there the all knowing android dev but thats nonsense lol :D

this is about sharing for me, and asking questions is a good thing man! no worries, as u know we learn by asking question, if a dev is rude to u for questioning them, or asking question at all, then my advice? find some1 who will take the time to help you learn, so maybe one day you will share it with some1 else :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mad_Technologist:
Thank you kind sir! I do appreciate the prompt and insightful responses. Now I'm all the more interested in switching. I'm charging my phone now so that I can make the switch.

I have another question as well, which is do you think recalibrating the battery is necessary when you change ROMs? I wouldn't be as concerned about it, if I didn't have an extended battery (7500 mAh). I assume that even if I didn't that the phone would "eventually" recognize the new battery, but with you running regular ROM updates like clockwork, and often recommending clean installs, the sooner the better sounds good to me.

P.S. I honestly don't really know what real purpose it serves, but I already hit the thanks button for such a great response. :)

Oh yeah, I almost forgot to ask if I could flash Team Black Out GApps? I really love the darker themes, plus it helps with battery as well. If not, not a deal breaker, but if so do I simply flash it? Don't want to attempt flashing and ruin a perfectly good build that you made.

Hi Guys,

Maybe someone of you has a good solution for my question, i'm planning to give this rom a go today as i'm on Kitkat now with some xposed modules. I know that Gravitybox is not working, i use it for PIE Controls.

Does any of you use Pie and know how i can add it back to the rom in a stable and easy way? Having Pie on the left side of the phone is for me as a left handed just easier, but i have no idea how to get Pie otherwise, maybe someone of you guys know that :) In the meantime i'm creating backups to do a full wipe of my system :good:

Edit: Installed Rom now, so far so good, working on getting xposed running. One question i have, when i tried to rename a file with solid explorer it told me i have to grant it access to the sd card, but when i tried to do what it said i just got FCs. Is there a way to do that manually?

Edit 2: Flashed the xposed zip multiple times now with clearing cache, still not activated, what am i missing for this rom? :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] i_fain:
I have tried Imperium v16.1 and it has a pie control called "LMT" and its awesome as Gravity's. Parhaps you could try that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iB4STiD:
xposed is still in alpha, xposed not showing frasmework installed is a known bug and will be fixed :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dandydon414:
Every music player i try either fc or doesn't work. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iB4STiD:
follow the clean install guide, to a t .. and do not restore system data call logs and sms included.. i do not have that issues :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] quorn23:
Thanks! I wanted to take a look and found out that Gravitybox got released for Lollipop, i got my PIE back :)

Yes, silly me, it was enabled, i just tried to use a non working module *facepalm* So far the 3 or 4 modules i use are working fine with it :good:

Small question tho [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION] i choose the softkeys in the aroma steps, is there a file i can chance so the home button reacts again to "wake up" the phone? I don't need it to have any other function. Possible with a quick fix or would i have to choose to have it all back? If so, how would i need to change that without starting all over? :angel:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iB4STiD:
ya i didnt make a separate addon for that, u would have to flash the rom.. i would make ya one.. but im working on 2.5 otherwise i would man :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] quorn23:
Don't worry, it's nothing that you need to waste your time with :)

If you have a second tho, Gravity seems to break the screenshot functionality when activated. It started after i activated "Screenshot" in the Shutdown menu (with Gravity). Maybe you have an idea if this could be related to your shudown menu mod? But again, no biggy, everything is alpha so i'm good haha.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iB4STiD:
still working ..

2.5 is coming along nicely .. will be done at some point :cowboy::D

look here a dialer
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mad_Technologist:
Great ROM!

Installed the ROM a few days ago, and so far everything is buttery smooth.!

I just wish I had the volume rocker MOD to skip tracks and the quick unlock option that unlocks after a successful PIN without the need to press the enter key. Neither 1 are a deal breaker by any means, but that's about the only thing that I personally feel are lacking that would make this ROM perfection. If anyone has any possible solutions, please let me know!!!

At any rate, thanks again for such a great ROM!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iB4STiD:
thank u very much man! im glad ur enjoying my rom! thank u for the feedback!!

if i remember right, u could give gravitybox a shot .. just keep in mind xposed is still in alpha, in time i will add it to this rom!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mad_Technologist:
Ok, thanks for the tip! I'll see how gravitybox works.

ok guys here is what i have themed in googlecontacts.apk im not going to darken everything, as i want to keep a stock look with the rom even tho some elements will be darker, so my thinking, keep some white involved :good:

[MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION] i found a bug in the autostart. I'm using Instagram and every time i reboot my phone instagram defaults to not autostart and i have to reenable it again. It's the only app doing this, all others either stay activated or deactivated. I'm using the normal instagram from google play store, not any modded apk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mad_Technologist:
I installed Xposed and GravityBox last night. The odd part is, from what I could tell, even though I flashed the zip 1st and then installed the apk, when I opened Xposed, it still said I needed to flash the zip in order to install it. However, I've been reading comments saying that it's most likely installed and that's just a small bug, because it is in it's Alpha stage after all.

So, on that note, I installed GravityBox, and it seems to be working just fine! :D As of now, I'm only using it to add a clear all button to the recents window, added the volume rocker skip tracks feature, and a quick unlock to the PIN screen so you don't have to press the enter key. I assume those are pretty "light weight" features, so to speak, so I doubt (and hopefully I'm right) that they should break anything else or cause any issues.

As of now, everything is running really smoothly and I don't have any complaints. Furthermore, the ROM is basically perfect now, and the only thing I wish it had was the Samsung KB. I love the word and sentence prediction, the ease of use, and the dedicated number row. Sure, swiftkey has a number row option or you could make the Google KB PC layout to get it, but neither 1 are as good as Samsung's, IMO at least.

At any rate, my point was to let you know, iB4STiD, as well as everyone else that if they want the features that I mentioned, that Xposed and GravityBox are an option. Hopefully, I don't run into any issues, but if I do I'll be sure to report them here and let everyone know.

P.S. If anyone has heard of a Samsung KB port for LP AOSP ROMs,

PLEASE

let me know. And before I get the many "that's only for TW ROMs" messages, someone did port it over to AOSP for KK, so I know it's not impossible or too much work/time for someone to do, as it's been done before. I'm just asking that if anyone has heard about a Samsung KB for LP AOSP, let me know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] quorn23:
Confused me in the start as well. You will need to do a manual soft reboot in xposed after every hard reboot to activate it again, alpha :)

I received my phone , have root & would like to install TWRP & then this rom.

Currently it has Android 4.4.4 & NH7 modem. Kernel is 3.4.0 293720

Do I need to update anything else beforehand, or can I proceed as it is (after recovery installed, of course)

I was having trouble as well. You have to wipe the cache and dalvik cache after you install the xposed zip. My device is encrypted and so I couldn't mount the data partition from twrp.

I followed the above advise. I installed the zip, wiped cache, installed apk, deleted dalvik with root Explorer and rebooted. Did not fix permissions.

No. That jar file is for module developers.

Installed the apk.

Flashed the .zip file.

Cleared the cache and dalvik-cache (I couldn't mount data partition from twrp because I'm encrypted. Delete /data/dalvik-cache/ with root explorer)

Rebooted

Install module, make sure xposed gets root permissions.

Reboot again so the module takes effect

edit: I tried to reflash stock ROM, the closest I caqn find is a Brazilian one so I can't flash the whole thing most likely; how do I just flash /system? I made a zip only containing it but I need an update-binary
[X 2014 General] -iNSiGhT-:
Revo said we have to flash Xposed zip with a custom recovery, there is the problem, I think.

And you have to be rooted too.

To go back on stock, find your stock ROM (there are threads with links in general section) and flash it with mfastboot (command lines) without erasing userdata.

You should be back on stock with your data.

P.S. : just for security, save your important data first.
[X 2014 General] purejoy:
Try uninstalling xposed first.

1. Uninstall all xposed modules

2. Uninstall Xposed-Installer app

3. Flash the uninstall-script from within TWRP

If this doesn't work, then flash the stock system.
[X 2014 General] -iNSiGhT-:
I wasn't aware there was an uninstall-script as I haven't flashed Xposed since my first unlucky try.

Indeed, it would be easier this way.

But from what alvareo said, I think he didn't flash with TWRP.
