[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
And thank you for using and enjoying it. Hope everybody had some good holidays. 2018 isn't off to a great start for me, but I'm confident it will get better.

Was there a "blacked out" version of the photo editor? It's the default editor that you can use from the Gallery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
I don't think so. I was thinking I made one, but I don't see it anywhere.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Snapi2:
Wanted to say thanks for suggesting the unlock thread, followed the steps and got my L720 unlocked. Now I'm looking for a good rom that I can run on 4.4.2- NAE with MDC modem, (had to dngrade to mdc for unlock to work), preferably a debloated one that is tmob/metro friendly. From reading other threads, changing the rom should get me better service. Basically I was hoping that you had a Wicked rom that I could tryout on this S4, Nae/Mdc combo or maybe you can suggest a couple of good roms out there.

(I'm still a rookie at this modding stuff but soaking it all in)

Thanks again, you've been great and incredibly helpful! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
I don't. Those ROMs were outdated when I came to this forum so unfortunately I can't even suggest one. I know I've seen something about a T-Mobile ROM floating around, but I couldn't tell you where.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Snapi2:
Yea, I think I saw one called Tmob pac rom... or something rather. I figured I check with you first since you are the rom guru. That one is supposed to get me at least to 4G, we'll see how that goes...?

If I can ask you, do you think flashing a diff rom might cause it to lose the unlock I just did? While this is not my main device, I wouldn't want to go thru all those unlock steps, it was a battle with many late nights. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
I'm not sure on that one. The only device I ever unlocked was the Sprint LG G5. That was done through an app. If I had time I'll try to see what I can find for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] solo624:
I've been using this ROM for 1.5 yrs. from 10.9 to 11 . Currently on 11 Recently noticed that after a reboot the Rom says Wicked X is optimizing starting apps and then counts up from 1 to 212 sorta of like a fresh new Install ? Sometimes it can take 20 mins to boot up ? Curious why ?

Any chance of a new build 12 ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
That's usually because there's a .odex file somewhere. Are you using Titanium Backup? That's one of the biggest culprits.

No, probably not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Snapi2:
So I got it going on Metro, 3G for now, everything good except for bug on incoming texts that I'm trying to figure out. On a separate forum they suggest running same modem, (currently on MDC), as the firmware which is on NAE for improved signal. I'm guessing the nae/mdc combo is not the best setup but needed mdc for the service menu/unlock.

>So my question is should I just flash the modem/tar on it's own or re-flash the entire NAE firmware all in one shot?

> Would you know if NAE modem might improve my chances at receiving 4G, better than MDC? Are there major differences?

> I think I know the answer but have to ask.. will your wicked 9.1/ngk kill the unlock? (still unclear how bootloader is affected)

Thanks in advance for your time!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
-Just the modem if you can find it

-Pretty sure this device does not support those 4G bands (as I stated when you first asked), but you should get better/faster 3G reception with newer modems

-Not sure, but the bootloader is only affected by Odin flashes. ROMs do not contain a bootloader (unless stated otherwise in the OP), only /system partition.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] RXPX:
Been using this rom for Atleast at year now and I can't complain. Excellent work bilgerryan!!!

Only thing is I've went back stock trying to root with magisk and everything works except for this rom ... anyway to use rom with magisk? Also, can anyone help me out with Gtools link...u seriously can't find it anywhere anymore. ... Thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Don't know about Magisk, been out of the game for awhile having unrootable devices. Check your PM about the other.

[/QUOTE]

Hi. Am on OD2 deodexed debloated deknoxed rom with hybridmax kernel running. I would like to install your rom, specifically for reducing battery drain. Can you point me to your latest rom. Btw, the software and baseband versions I am on are still PL1. Thanks.

Flashing Wicked ROm

Thanks for prompt response! (emoji pressed ;)) I went towards later posts searching for it. So i download v10.9 and flash it first and flash v11 update right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Langoor:
Thanks

Great. My task is set for tonight! Will share my experience :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Langoor:
Wow !

Wow, Just finished installing and everything looks super! This will b my driver from now on until you come up with something new ? With regards to the add ons, I download and just flash them right? No wipes ? And Wanam says needs xposed, some advice and pointers please. Thanks!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Xposed link in Post #3. Yes, follow instructions on add-on's download post. Probably won't be anything more for this, pretty much running my own kitchen now and have no time for much of anything else but my family. Enjoy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Langoor:
Thanks !
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] orgulloso4202:
You have your own kitchen. Is this kitchen something your going to be sharing with us? Oh send you a pm. Hopefully you can help me out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
No restaurant kitchen, I'm a chef.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] orgulloso4202:
Lol. [emoji23]?[emoji28] sorry I forgot that you are.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] markmc00:
Multi-talented. Chef, accomplished developer, family man. We appreciate all the work you have put into the Wicked X ROM for the S4. Assuming I could still get Sprint service, I could use this phone for quite awhile as a result of your work. Had to move to a non-Sprint area recently, so I'm thinking about the Google Pixel 2. Any thoughts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] FNetV1:
I just flashed this rom and everything is working great, FINALLY a custom rom where everything works just fine EXCEPT that when I reboot the phone a "Wicked X is Optimizing... Optimizing app xxx of 211." shows up and it can take more than 30 minutes to wait for that to be over. This on itself is a deal breaker, my father will be the primary user of this particular phone. Is there a fix for this issue? I heard from someone that an app might be creating an .odex file that that could be causing it, but its there a way to stop that? Also, is there a way to run a deodex script after I install an app?

Specific of the device:

Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4

Model: SPH-L720T

Baseband: OK3

Did I flash the L720T converter? No, doesn't appear to be necessary IF running OK3, else it would then appear to be necessary, WiFi works without it. I flashed it first along with the Aurora kernel and the phone never went past the bootscreen. So this time I wiped up everything fully, and reflashed the barebone V10.9 restarted once that finished and I saw it was working properly I then flashed the V11 update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
If you delete the odex file it will not do that anymore. Titanium Backup is one of the biggest culprits. Deodex script? The ROM is already deodexed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] FNetV1:
You are right, it was Titanium Backup that was causing it, and by "Deodex Script" what I was referring to is the creation of a script that can scan and delete the odex files automatically upon executing the script or app so that the user doesn't have to do it manually.

Now, everything is operating great here, upon restarts I get "Wicked X is Optimizing Starting Apps" and then the phone just starts right away, hey I can work with that it beats having to wait 30 minutes like before, lol, so I dont care about the "Starting Apps" that much.

Now I have a new fight: I am trying to get /emulated/0/WhatsApp contents to be binded to a folder (also called WhatsApp) in the root directory of the 128 GB Micro SD card when I was using my previous rom, an AOSP rom it used to work beautifully using Apps2SD, I had to dump that rom in favor of this because it has a major deal breaker fault, the Camera would stop working intermittently requiring the phone to be restarted before you could continue taking pictures, well anyways that would be a discussion for a different topic. The problem here is that Apps2SD seems to be binding the folders successfully, on ES File Explorer I can see my over 22 GB of data I have on my WhatsApp folder on my Micro SD card on the internal storage, but when I try to open any of the files I get an "Cannot Open" error message, so I am able to see pretty much just the directory tree of the binded files but not able to open them. I did the "Fix SD" from the Apps2SD procedure and that didn't help.

Here's what I tried in terms of Mount Script:

I first tried the init.d method, it did it successfully, mounting works but with the above mentioned problems, only can see directory tree and file lists but not able to open any files, it errors out.

Next: I removed mount script and recreated mount script using: su.d I suppose that's used by SuperSU, I got the same exact result.

Next I tried "Normal Mode" and I got the same results.

Any ideas how to get Apps2SD FolderMount feature working successfully here? Could the culplit be the built in Aurora kernel? Should I flash the Stock Kernel? Man this is frustrating! I have been fighting this for over 8 hours, it is very important for me to be able to force WhatsApp to save the files to the Micro SD card, my father is an extremely heavy user of WhatsApp he has already accumulated over 22GB of multimedia data that he absolutely do not wish to part away with and he would like to be able to access them from the WhatsApp app not from ES file explorer, etc due to non friendly file names souped together into one folder per media type.

EDIT: I found a solution to this, I posted it on a new separate post ahead...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] resarfekim:
Could somebody please help me unroot this rom (or replace SuperSU with Magisk)? I've tried a few things and always end with a hung Samsung logo.

Thanks in advance,

Sorry I havent replied sooner it just started again recently . I am using Team win project v2.8.4.0 for the longest time now. What I have done is fresh download and memory dump until it happens again. Any suggestions or new updates coming ?

Thanks again

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Sorry, I've been away for a little bit. I'm back and finally have a rootable phone again. I'm on the Huawei Elate on Cricket now. Hopefully will start work on Wicked X on my new phone soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 555rt:
Can someone please tell me the name or post a link to the boot/shutdown animations in version 10.9, it's a blue fog with white lightning. I would like to flash it in 11.0. I just upgraded from an S3 running Wicked X to the S4 ( I know). Love your roms Ryan.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Well AFH seems to have deleted the one I uploaded and my PC had to have the hard drive replaced last year. I'm trying to remember what file even controlled the boot animations, it's been too long. I'll see if I've got it backed up somewhere.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
If you extract these 3 files from v10.9, that will get you the boot animations and shutdown animation
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] markmc00:
V11.0

Hi Ryan. Thanks for continuing to monitor this thread. Some of us continue to utilize your excellent ROM for the s4. I recently upgraded to v10.9 bare bones (I was still using v10.8 full version). Can I flash the v11.0 update on top of the bare bones version?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] skandranon314:
Thanks, dunno how I missed that.

Got this up and running mostly problem free.

When I try to place any widget, I get "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." Is there a solution to this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
LOL... I just tried to put the Weather widget on my homescreen.

Now I'm getting "Unfortunately, Weather has stopped." , it won't go away.

If I figure out how to fix it I will let you know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MonsterBoX:
Thanx... I'll give that a try
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] makskylan:
Mine did that too at first but after rebooting, the widget was on home screen and no more message about it stopping...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Snoshrk:
I had this issue when trying to use Nova, but not on the stock launcher.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] makskylan:
Is there a mod other than the one in wanam exposed that allows us to change different types of battery icons in the status bar?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
Tried rebooting, no go.

Tried clearing cache and dalvik, no go.

I'm on the stock launcher.

Still get "Unfortunately, Weather has stopped." so fast I can't hardly do anything else. :laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rnsxl666:
Still loving this rom, if anyone has any doubts just flash this awesome ROM. Best TouchWiz lollipop custom rom for the S4 out there. Stable Bluetooth, lots of custom theme's, hotspot hack. This rom has it all, really happy with it. Don't think I will go back to CM 12.1 even if they get their act together. This guy is the only dude I have donated to, keep up the fantastic work, you tha man?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
OK, I was finally able to work my way through Settings, Apps, All Apps, Weather <-- that was a tough one... :laugh: then clear data on Weather and it stopped the FC's. Then the widget showed up on homescreen and was able to reboot and still working.

I'm afraid to try another one. :eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Wipe Weather data in Application Manager

Edit: never mind, looks like you got it, the S6 widget stores data in a different way... There is a note that if an app force closes to wipe data in Application Manager.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] skandranon314:
I am also using nova launcher.

Not yet, all current mods are in post #3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pedrito0906:
Is someone else experiencing lag issues opnening apps, and getting battery drains? Great Rom BTW.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Use App Ops to take away Location and Keep Awake permissions from almost all apps and wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery. Power Nap Xposed mod has also been working great for me. Also remove or disable apps you don't use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Euclid's Brother:
Greate Rom! Everything seems to work, except root. I came from MJA rom, flashed a stock rooted OD2 (same I did on my wifes phone) via odin. Then flashed Wicked X 10.2, setup my accounts, then flashed Wicked X 10.3.

When I noticed that root access wasn't working, I removed and reinstalled SuperSU. But nothing would ever cause to to pop up the root request. Further digging shows that su doesn't have the sticky bit set.

C:\Unified_Android_ToolKit>adb shell
shell@jfltespr:/ $ ls -l /system/xbin/su
ls -l /system/xbin/su
-rwxr-xr-x root root 75364 2008-08-01 07:00 su
shell@jfltespr:/ $

so I created a recovery zip to set the sticky bit, but it doesn't seem to want to set.

I tried each of these commands

set_perm(0, 0, 4755, "/system/xbin/su");

run_program("/system/xbin/chmod", "4755", "/system/xbin/su");

but after reboot I still see the perms are 0755.

should i run towelroot or cf-root on it?

Edit:

I've also tried clicking the "fix root" in TWRP and CWM when rebooting. Neither of those worked.

In TWRP, I went into terminal mode and did a chmod 4755 su. Then an ls -l shows the sticky bit set. But after booting the ROM, it's not set anymore.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pontif:
Flash super su beta 2.49 and prompt will work. Also you can set it to grant in su app settings to just grant instead of prompt.

Post #4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Euclid's Brother:
Thanks. I installed the beta SuperSU from the link in post #4. Now the ROM won't boot. Stuck on the samsung logo.

I'll reflash wicked-x 10.3 and see if it'll boot.

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------

I should clarify. The samsung logo I was stuck on was the multi-color animated one. The phone booted enough to give adb access, but hung there. (Edit: i'm wondering now if flashing the beta supersu auto wiped the dalvik cache to cause that long first boot).

After reflashing x 10.3, it's now stuck on the first "Samsung Galaxy S4" logo that you see as soon as you power on. Tried wiping data but still won't boot. Gonna start all over with ODIN of stock rooted OD2.

Edit: Booting again on Stock rooted OD2. it'll take me a bit to get back to wx10.3

Edit2: Back on WX 10.3. The SuperSU included is 2.45. switch it to "Grant" instead of "Prompt" and it's working. Once I make a nandroid backup to get back to this point, i'll try the beta supersu again.

If you get a bootloop the first thing to try is to wipe cache and dalvik cache
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Flashlight Toggle

Adds the flashlight toggle to your Quick Settings

Instructions:

If you are on Wicked X v10.3, use Root Browser to go to system/app/AddToggles and delete the apk inside the folder (or the whole folder, it doesn't matter). Reboot. Once it boots up you can reboot into recovery and flash. Everyone else, simply flash in recovery. A flaw of the Add Toggles app is that it only runs once and disables itself, so we have to get rid of it, boot up so it's not present and then flash so it makes its run again.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] RP-88:
So I have been silently running this ROM for almost a week now and thank you for this. For the most part things are going well, I am experiencing some lag/stalling issues and the GAPPS/Deodexed problems, but overall not to much of a problem. The biggest problem leads me to a question, have we, the S4 users, been subjected to the Samsung's strict memory management reported on the S6 (similar to HTC's on the EVO LTE) that kills off apps soon after they move to the background? Most notably, Chrome restarts almost every time I go back to it and Pandora stops anywhere between 10sec and 2min if it is not in the foreground.

However, I found something with the new Toggles. Install worked fine and a message appears a little after the post-flash reboot saying that new toggles have been added. Check the panel and sure enough the Flashlight Toggle is there. But as you'll see in the screenshots, it appears in the all toggle menu (not shown is the side sliding toggle bar, where it also appears) but when I go the edit the active toggles, it is not there and I find that there is now an empty space at the end. If I add a toggle, or simply replace one the flashlight toggle disappears from all menu locations. I have both tried re-downloading and re-flashing the mod, but the result is the same. I also tried removed a tile before flashing to see if it made a difference when editing. Upon reboot I had two "empty" slots, but when I added a tile to one of the empty locations, the Flashlight toggle disappeared once again.

Any thoughts? Might be related to some of the other problems I have experienced. I have not re-flashed the ROM yet and can, but wanted to see if this was re-creatable by others first. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Anybody else getting this? If so, I know exactly what it is. One of you ten people that downloaded?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] outlaw012590:
I've been using 10.3 since you released it. I haven't installed the New flash light yet, but I do get the problem with a couple programs freezing or closing. Pandora, for example, does turn off if you start multitasking. While Google search will almost always freeze mid search. But I have no issues with chrome personally that I've noticed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] axs3543:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shawn.irwin:
So the hotspot tether should work correct? I even tried manually flashing the hotspot zip in the op and wiped dalvik and cache. Still not turning on. ???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] esloudan:
I've been swapping between this rom and 2 others. Only thing on this one is that lag. Once in awhile it hangs for a few seconds. Nothing major.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shawn.irwin:
Only thing I have tried is flash the flash light toggle with dalvik/cache wipe and it is not appearing anywhere for me.

*edit* Okay I was dumb and didn't read the instructions for the flash light toggle. After following the instructions I too am experiencing the exact aforementioned issue with it disappearing.
