Yup....same video I saw when I had my problem. For what it's worth....I'm VERY adept at using a soldering iron....and it was NOT the easiest thing to replace. Before you try replacement....consider cleaning it. Sometimes a good cleaning does the job.....

In October, I got on an airplane....got seated, sent a text, put the thing in airplane mode...and went to sleep. An hour or two later (at altitude), I decided to listen to some music. I went to wake up the phone.....and nada. Nothing. The digitizer had died. The front glass was perfect....so it wasn't a physical damage that ruined the digitizer. It must have been something with the pressure change. The phone was unusable....completely. The screen was dead. (Two hours into a week's vacation...ugh)

I found a "demo", like new S4 on eBay for around $115. It looked brand new when it arrived.

I stayed with the S4 because of your fine ROM!

I shouldn't have to mess with the power button issue for a year or two...... You can't beat the price for an up to date, feature ridden cell phone.

Thanks for all you do......
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Well I just saw a related video with the "smack test" and my phone is back to life! Smacked my phone on the table and it popped right back on. You were right on the money, thank you so much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CarWashRudy:
Great news!

Sometime you'll want to get some spray type contact cleaner, and clean that switch. It'll really help.

You've probably used the power button quite a bit....rebooting often as a part of developing.

I have a widget on my home screen that allows me to turn the screen off.....thereby saving the mechanical power switch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Power button in the pull down ;) This was because of a drop, but nevertheless a good idea.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CarWashRudy:
I've used this for years....

Maybe when I get my taxes back, I'm glad I got my S4 working again because I couldn't really afford to get a good phone right now.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Wonk258:
If you do be sure to let us know so we can all sell our S4's and pick up whichever model you have because you are a rocking dev and I don't ever want to have to find a new dealer for my smartphone addiction.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
You can flash the S6 or stock one from post #3, but you will manually have to delete the system/app/SamsungIMEv2 folder before flashing and wipe cache and dalvik cache after flashing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] themakersmarketandroid:
I like the red, just curious. My file explorers are telling me I'm not rooted. Fixed.

No prompt for Total Commander. Uninstalled/reinstalled, still no prompt. Got rid of it, now using File Explorer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Root Browser is the best one in my opinion
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] themakersmarketandroid:
This ROM is smoking fast. Looks like it is more RAM friendly on my phone. Will be "exercising" over next couple days. Battery will need to cycle a few times. Using FX for file explorer. I delete all the Samsung stuff, along with all the Sprint stuff.

I am missing SQLite, in which I changed the unlock setting. I am missing that. I had a pretty cool one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Xperiacle has an app in the Play Store that let's you choose most of them.... I think it's called Galaxy Lockscreen. Speaking of RAM, please leave the LS RAM profile as Default for testing, I have my own custom RAM script specifically for the S4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] themakersmarketandroid:
Found SQLite and the post. I like the Geometric thing (#12) on my black screensavers.

Hunting now for call pop-up window.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leond:
I've installed 10.7 on L720T OH1 with OH1 kernel and everything is perfect except on most calls i have very strong local echo, meaning I can hear myself very loud. It goes away if i click "extra volume" icon during the call. Extra volume turns on (according to the message) and echo disappears. How can I solve this permanently?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Turn Noise Reduction off in Call Settings (the little squiggly line on the In Call screen)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leond:
Thank you, I saw similar thread about this and tried this already with no apparent effect. I think this setting may produce echo on the other side. I have echo on my side.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Try changing the Personalize Call Sound to Clear Sound.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pontif:
Don't know if many know but before you can edit pop call you have to open phone app settings at least once before you can enable it in sql lite
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] themakersmarketandroid:
I added it. Done.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
I can't express how happy I am to have my phone back. I was only without it for 36 hours and I had my son's S3, but I really do love this S4 and I had just finished the update.

I'll make a flashable, but I've grown to love this launcher and it's my ROM lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] themakersmarketandroid:
Good stuff
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leond:
it is "clear sound" by default and I've tried every other option as well
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Are you really gonna try to tell me what is default on my ROM? Default is Off. You could try turning it to Off if you Ajay had it on Clear Sound. You could try setting up Adapt Sound. Sorry, never seen anybody with this issue, your guess is as good as mine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bubba77:
Bilgerryan so far no problems with 10.8 test build 2 it is running smooth with no issues. Yet another great job. Had a quick question about the above. If I perform the wicked.xml.bak in order to get emoji's working what will I lose? Meaning what goodies would I have to sacrifice that you have included just to get emoji's. Just trying to figure out if it is worth trying to get the emoji's working. Thank you again for all of your hard work and keeping our phones relevant.

You can use Google messenger and you don't have to change the xml file.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
No, that would be the Instagram app. There is an option in Camera settings for that but that is only for photos taken with the stock camera.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bubba77:
Bilgerryan one more quick question. Noticed that when receiving a text message that the phone screen wakes from sleep. Don't remember this occurring on previous releases. And can not find a setting to turn this off. Probably something I am overlooking any help would be appreciated.

Ok I just flashed the Aurora kernel & 10.8( on OD2). So far so good. I went to Odin OH1, and discovered that none of the download links (for just the modem) work anymore...the one in post #3 (sammy link) says it'll take over 24hrs to complete the d/l) .

Does anyone have a good link to download the OH1 modem? TIA

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pontif:
System update works. Emoji broke on stock messenger (third party messenger works). Other than emoji you are good to go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] carwashman:
Is there a way to record every phone call from a particular person, or a way to record all calls automatically?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pontif:
Just hit record soon as you get the call or wanam xposed module has an option for automatic call recording (don't know if it works though)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
The Sprint notes just say "bug fixes" I'm waiting to see if anybody posts anything worthwhile. I'm guessing another Stagefright patch since the OH1 wasn't a full fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
L720T Converter is up in The Box in the L720T folder. Need testers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
I think he is referring to the new update being pushed by Sprint, it is actually OK3. I put it as the build in v10.8 so we wouldn't get the notification.

10.8 seems to be working well for me on the L720. I am however noticing a decent amount of battery drain. Would being on OD2 modem and using the aurora kernel have anything to do with that?

No it doesn't. I would recommend checking the settings on L Speed and see what's turn on/off and adjust accordingly. If you notice Lnet is on, I would recommend turning it off since that a big battery drainner for Mr atleast.

Any thoughts on how I can move the blutooth icon over to the right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jayshocka:
No go got the same wfc settings have stopped
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
It's the alarm icon, I removed it but apparently there is still code for the padding. I've been trying to hunt it down but haven't had any luck. I'm gonna put the icon back because the empty space is worse than the icon.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mattzeller:
I didn't think so. Yours is the only one that doesn't, it's weird that all other TW and AOSP work just fine passing that through. It's not that big a deal, I was just curious.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] themakersmarketandroid:
Have a report. Use the S4 for social media for our business, and have 8 email accounts. At work, we have WIFI, and at home we are barely 3G. We do all our check deposits via phone, send pictures to our vendors, text messaging, and it goes on and on. After almost three days on the new updated ROM, everything is running great.

Battery life is better than before, but I did make some changes to LS that helped with batter life and performance of my phone. I switched the cleaner, seeder, and LNET Optimizer all off. I switched the RAM Manager, Cache Reclaiming, and Cache Allocation all off. I was having problems with the struggling connections at home, and these changes (correct or not) improved my phone's performance for what I need it for.

Your ROM is 10 times better than the 10.6 i started with. You have provided this rural-living Sprint user a ROM that lets the phone last all day, and is easy to use.

*Safety Assistance

*New Lockscreen Effects:

●Abstract Tiles

●Ink in Water

●Popping Colors

●Firestorm (Light)

-Add Toggles at boot- thanks [MENTION=4714483]daxgirl[/MENTION]- no more flashing the toggles zip

-Toolbox and Toggle

-Video Lag Fix- thanks Slim80

-Added more media codecs to play more formats

-S6 Accuweather Widget

-S5 Clock

-S5 Wallpaper Picker

-My Magazines (Menu/Homescreen Settings to remove)

-Native Ad Blocking in browser (games are a completely different thing)

-S5 Gallery

-S5 Magnifier

-Caller Announce

-Changed default ringtone and notification

-Updated SuperSU

-Removed Sprint Connections Optimizer

-Debloated a little

Installation Instructions:

This version is for the L720 model. If you are not on Wicked X v10.2, follow the installation instructions in the OP and INSTALL v10.2 FIRST, set up your accounts and then follow the instructions below to install v10.3. I know it's a pain but, believe me, it will save you some frustration.

Go into Application Manager, go to All, then Weather, and wipe the app's data. Reboot into recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash v10.3 in recovery.

Bugs:

-Ultra Power Saving/Emergency Mode and One Handed Operation not working yet.

-Some Accessibility settings force closing (flash the stock settings in post #3 if you need these settings to work)

Wicked X v10.3

md5sum=31c8c25461e424e400987bfc578e2379

Notes: to turn off Caller Announce go to Settings/Vision/Accessibility/Talkback/Settings/Speak Caller ID. Another note about this feature, it only works with Google account synced Favorite Contacts. It speaks the name of the contact when you receive a call or text from them, the volume on it is a little quiet though. If apps are force closing wipe that app's data. You may need to go in and set Samsung Keyboard as default if it is force closing.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Living in a rural area and wanting better signal is what got me started into modifying my Android, 6 years later here we are. Somehow I moved close enough to one of Sprint's new tower that I get 3 bars of 4G at home now. I barely got 3G with my EVO Shift before we moved and after two moves (one being into town, we hated it) I don't wanna leave this small town and neither does my wife.

So RAM Manager on default is getting good battery life? On default it is using my script. I'm testing with LNET off now.
