Wow, making it way too complicated. If you have TWRP, flash the ROM, and you are done. If you want to. change the kernel later, have at it. I was a dummy to all this, and I just followed the instructions on page 1.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] oberon567:
Again, though, the instructions from the developer insist that your firmware needs to be updated to OD2 or OH1 (and others have now confirmed the newer OK3) or the WiFi will not work. So... are you saying that is wrong?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] themakersmarketandroid:
What I am saying is just do it. If you don't like it, go back to what you had. Simple.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] oberon567:
Yeah, but you're answering a question that isn't being asked. Or answering the question that is being asked in a less than useful way.

It isn't about "liking" something or not... It is about whether all of the functionality will work, or if I will have to reinstall numerous times... Where I live my internet is atrocious and slow, so getting all of the proper firmware and ROM files downloaded takes time, so I can try to clear up doubts via questions on this forum while I wait and go about my other business of study and work and so forth, and hopefully only have to install once.

The developer says the firmware itself needs to be updated and listed as such in the About section of the phone if you want all of the functioning, namely the WiFi, to work. However just recently a user says that the firmware does not need to be updated, only the modem. Now you are suggesting nothing needs to be updated. You see how those are three contradictory statements, right? And only one of them can actually be true?

The other question was more of a general question about what happens when flashing firmware. You lose your root, sure. But do you lose a custom recovery, and do you lose data files stored on the phone's hard drive?

The entirely supplementary question I was asking was more a general question about how custom ROMs work in general. If you're using stock then the newest firmware brings you updates, both software and system in terms of how the hardware works, so there is almost always benefit in upgrading. But I am unclear if running a custom ROM negates that, which is to say does a ROM such as this one run identically on the various firmwares supported, or is there a reason to start with one firmware or another when running a custom ROM. Does the customization of the ROM totally negate the firmware changes, or does the ROM incorporate them? (This matters to me because, as I said, my internet access is limited and expense. Firmware files are usually 1gb - 2gb in size which is a hefty portion of my allotted monthly internet usage, and that is assuming they download without a problem and tons of data isn't wasted. So being able to know for certain ahead of time what I need and downloading the best choice, one time, is an important and useful thing for me. Maybe your circumstances are different and you have time and internet availability to download as much as you want and spend lots of time going back and forth from one thing to another, and so forth, but not everyone has the same privileges).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] themakersmarketandroid:
Every minute you don't have this is another minute you don't have this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
For the most part the main difference between the firmwares is the modem. Generally their idea is to improve the modem with every build but it doesn't always work that way for everyone. I would personally recommend OH1 as that's what I'm using.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
SystemUI/res/colors.xml->search quick_panel_bg (or quickpanel) and brightness_slider_bg or you could look at my SystemUI in colors.xml and just search #ff000000 for all the instances of black as there were a few that I changed. Then just change those to #ffffffff for white. The toggles are images in res/drawable-xxdpi.

I tried flashing 10.9 yesterday. I had issues. Not sure where I went wrong. I'm on 10.8. First I tried 10.9,1. It flashed but I didn't find and changes so I wiped delvic and data trying baseboard. I used the box to get my zips. I wasn't getting MD5. Keeps saying no MD5.tar. Skip md5. Then when I flash. I get loops and loops with the Samsung logo. I had 10.8 perfect. I can't figure out what's wrong. I am now back to an old backup of 10.8. It flashed with md5 for everything. When I try again should I just flash the rom and that's it? Do I need to clear delvic and catch? Just would like to flash once and be good. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING. LOVE THIS ROM..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Make sure the md5sum of the ROM matches the md5sum on the download page. This is to ensure file integrity, in other words, to make sure that your file exactly matches the one that I uploaded. Use an app like md5 checker from the Play Store. If the boot animation isn't even starting then there is definitely a problem with your file.

L720T OH1 Modem

Does anyone have an odin flashable L720T OH1 modem I have been using Wicked and went to stock to clean up some stuff. Anyways long story short Im in need of OH1 modem. Otherwise I might try to reflash back to a pre touchwize stock and apply OD2 OTA for the modem then let it update through the sprint updates like I did once. It would save a good chuck of time if I could just get the OH1 modem.

Why does flashing the volume boost rearrange all the notification panel tiles? It also removes the flashlight one.

Edit: Found out that it's already included in 10.9. Is the v4a enabler included as well?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Yes, just install V4A. To get the Toggles back to normal just go into Application Manager and wipe data of AddToggles and reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] EngineManShawn:
On reboot is 10.9 supposed to say "checking device status" everytime? At every reboot?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
With the circled check mark? Mine has done that since upgrading to Lollipop, on two devices... Or is the notification staying there? I had that problem with my old S4, just long press the notification, but the App Info icon, and hit Force Close. It only happened for me when I had mobile data off and rebooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] EngineManShawn:
It's does it every reboot, I usually have data off. It goes away. Yes with the check. Like I'm updating the PRL.

bilgerryan, I Installed 10.9 night before last, and after booting up and getting accounts set up I immediately started getting a window that pops up, but the text is unreadable because the background is white and the text is almost the same shade (you can tell there is text but you can't read it due to the shade and size, and there is a green checkbox on the left, and then an OK button at the bottom of the screen. I don't know what it is, so I didn't want to click OK, so I just hit my home button, or the back button and it goes away until I try to do something else and it pops up again. I searched through the thread to see if I could find any mention of a similar problem since 10.9, but couldn't find anything, but maybe I just missed it. Any information would be appreciated.

EDIT: Ok, so after transferring the screenshot to my computer, I was able to enlarge it, and it made the text slightly more visible, and I am able to make it out a little bit, and see that it is for the Predictive Text for the Samsung Keyboard. Makes sense now! Sorry to post before trying that to begin with!

Interesting bug...

Hi there everyone...

I occasionally get a screen where I need to re-enter my pattern to unlock and it's white dots on a white background.

Fortunately, you can just BARELY see the white dots so doing what it asks is actually doable.

For future iterations, you may want to look into it. Livable for the moment, and....actually as a level of security it might actually be more secure? :)

Just thought I'd let you know...

Still lovin' the ROM.. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] themakersmarketandroid:
My original Lollipop far before I used this ROM was like that. I'd say it's better security than having the dots plain as day and seeing where my greasy finger is always swiping. I don't use security. You wan't my stuff, all yours!

I think for the L720T version one converter is still needed for v10.9 to use the tri-band feature. I checked in ##3282# (data) menu and under LTE no bands are listed. Also the band preference menu is not there. I am in spark area where tri-band is used. For now I am going back to 10.8 hoping to get one 10.9 L720T converter in future.

I think my S4 is toast. :(

Tried 4 different brand new batteries, Odin'd stock, factory reset, but she still wants to randomly reboot without being able to run without plugging the phone in. Haven't seen any battery go below 50% in over a month without the problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Check the battery prongs, make sure none of them are bent. It's only when the battery is low? Mine was rebooting because the power button, that is usually the cause of random reboots as holding the power button down for ten seconds records the phone so if the power button gets stuck or has debris in it it can cause random reboots.

If so what settings do I choose?

Sorry if this sounds dumb, but do I hit load defaults while in LSpeed then exit or are your settings already there when I hit LS in terminal emulator?

I ask because there were settings already in L speed and after I hit load default they changed. Don't know if I was supposed to load default settings our if they were already baked in.
