Kuropis,

Thanks for the kind words!

If you want to update Twrp, follow the above (post #154).

As for flashing kernels, after you download the new kernel, go into TWRP, and install it. You do not wipe anything, it is a dirty flash. Should work great, as I test every version before posting them. Just remember, no wipe for kernel flashes, just flash dirty. :D

Is there a reason that max CPU has no option between 1674 and 1998mhz? I ask mainly because I was getting some RRs on the first kernel that OCd to 1998 but went away after I returned to just GPU OC kernel. I would have liked to try it at the 1890 point but that option wasn't there and on this kernel the highest option other than 1998 is even lower. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Good point!

There should be 1782, but I will add the 1890 back in.

What happens during the random reboots? Is it during peak use or idling?

I have not had problems myself, but I may need to up the voltage, since not all Qualcomm chips are created equally.

Which gov/io scheduled are you using?

-AlaskaLinuxUser https://thealaskalinuxuser.wordpress.com
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darazor:
No, it was just while accessing a root requiring app Net Guard and then when I wasn't accessing any app but had just turned on the screen. At that time I had Gov "ondmand" and io was the default "bfq". I rarely do anything that requires peak usage unless a benchmark but haven't even run that. I keep minimal apps on hand prefeingr to install/uninstall unless I use it often. Thanks for your very kind and quick response. I know you must have many things that require your time; I do appreciate it. With this new kernel I have set gov to "smartmax" no io change. Let it run and see if it reoccurs. I will update as you post new kernels.

note: I incorrectly said Net Guard was root requiring. It is not. I was thinking of DisableService. It is. Sorry if I confused anyone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
darazor,

Updated the kernel:

Hopefully that will help. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darazor:
Thanks, Just flashed. I have decided to use "intelliactive" and "simple" CPU/GPU Govs after carefully considering and checking how each does it's magic. I have left IO at bfq but was somewhat torn between it and noop just due to my type of use. If you see anything glaringly inconsistent please point it out. Also, left "hotplugging" off, all others were set to start on boot. I will use the 1998MHz stting unless RRs. Great to have the new options if needed.

So something annoying happened, installed the latest build, WiFi was working great, connected fast. Now when I turn on WiFi, my settings are gone & it can't find any WiFi networks. My other devices work fine so it's not the router. Any idea how to get WiFi working again?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Even after rebooting the phone? Two thoughts:

1: when you flashed it, did you wipe davlik/cache? In the OP, there were problems when not doing that. Also, is this a dirty flash? If you missed a few versions between updates, one of them required a clean flash due to a complete change of device trees to fix the camera.

If it was a dirty flash, I recommend a complete backup and complete wipe, then fresh install.

2: Does it work again when going back to the old version or backup?

-AlaskaLinuxUser https://thealaskalinuxuser.wordpress.com
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cirrus97:
It was working fine since I installed the latest build a couple of weeks ago, then today it doesn't even see any routers. Did reboots thinking I'm going to reinstall the rom after going back to the saved version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darazor:
Did a quick search and found this from someone with a similar problem. From the IFIXIT website.

"I posted this issue almost two years ago and never had a chance to reply here again.

I've tried anything at the time, eventually I opened the iphone and tighten the antenna screw a little. After that everything was working as normal.

Best way to check it is by putting your iphone close to the router. When I did it, I could find my wifi network, and this what made me think that I have an issue in the antenna itself.

Perhaps this will give you a starting point. Note, this was for an iphone but worth a try..

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cirrus97:
So I did this... Boot into recovery, did a complete wipe, rebooted & restored system data from titanium backup. Did another reboot & WiFi is back to normal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
So this tells us you phone hardware is good. Knowing that you can go back, I would recommend a clean install to see if the WiFi works. If it does, then you can try restoring a backup, and upgrading.

Or if the clean install works, just going from there. Whatever works for you and keeps you going! :D

Great news! Security updates!

All,

I finished syncing the AOKP source today, and the July 5th security updates are present! So, I am building that now.

I am not a big security update pusher, but this one is kind of important for our phones. Here are some of the High and Critical problems found:

https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-07-01.html

There were also a lot of Qualcomm components that had Critical and High problems with escalation of privileges, but those were local.

So, I hope to have the build up by tomorrow. Keep an eye out for this one, as these security updates directly affect our S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darazor:
Thanks in advance for the update. your efforts are always greatly appreciated.

Curiosity compels me to ask why would one not be big on security?

Not a pejorative question. And, of course you need not answer. it's just that it is only too apparent that we are facing an ever increasing array of security threats that expose our personal data to some really bad entities. The most frequent response to which is to then close open doors or as in these cases close loopholes. Not closing doors if doors are available seems to be placing ourselves in needless jeopardy.

I must admit too that security threats impact my enjoyment of these more than marvelous devices that we call smartphones. C'est la guerre.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Darazor,

As always, great question!

There are a few principle reasons that I am not a big security pusher.

#1. Locked boot loaders and not allowing root or custom ROMs. Those are more secure. ;) if it were up to the security police, we would not be allowed to have root privileges nor custom ROMs, since they are, by default, security loopholes. :D

#2. Half of the security patches do not apply, as they are often device specific. E.g., this security update is important to our group, because it specifically affects Qualcomm boards, and thus our s4. Some updates, however, update source code for mediatek chips, or apps we do not use. Being "behind" on updates that do not apply is not a real security threat. :D

#3. A large portion of security updates are for local privilege escalation. Meaning that the perpetrator would need local access to your phone. Which, if they have local access, they most likely already can do anything they want. :D At my work I have been called upon to "unlock" or "repassword" numerous Linux and Windows computers. Even the best of them fall short when you have physical access to the machine.

I am into security in general, just not a "you must update your insecure phone this instant" guy. ;) but I am also into applicable security, which is why I specifically pointed out this security update. For instance, in the SlimLP thread, I am currently updating their security by hand, but only critical status updates, like remote execution. All 36 of them. Might take a while to finish.

When I was in the Navy, I was stationed in Guam. I had iron bars over the windows and doors. I had a chain link fence. I had neighbors. While I was gone, they broke in and stole everything except my Bible, my washing machine, the fridge, and the last Hawaiian punch. I guess since then I have had a different take on security. You are ultimately right, but it's just stuff. ;)

Anyhow, I have went on long enough! :D Hope that answers your questions, and as always, comments and questions are always welcome. In either event, I will keep updating the security on this ROM as long as it still continues working.

No hard feelings if you disagree. :D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Probably unwarranted, but your kindness is appreciated.

Do take it with a grain of salt though, I am not a very experienced dev, but by God's grace I am learning! Most of the time I am just happy that it even works at all!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
New build is up!

By God's grace, another successful build!

The new build is up and the OP has been updated:

This is a very important security update (as opposed to some other security updates). I highly recommend switching to this version due to remote code execution (the ability for people to hack your phone from abroad - Bluetooth - WiFi - Cellular) and the Qualcomm chips security loopholes (which are in our phone).

As always, let me know what you think!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Question: Does anybody use the full disk encryption?

Question: Have any of you tried or are using the full disk encryption listed under Settings --> Security --> Encryption?

I set up a phone for my brother. The phone was set up without Google apps (his request). I had installed Aptoide and Fdroid so he could install some apps. All of which I personally tested and found working. After giving him the device, he enabled the encryption. After doing so, the package installer app does not work, so he cannot install any new apps, even though unknown sources are allowed.

I was just curious if any of you were using the encryption, and if you have similar issues. If so, are you using Google Apps or not? Can you install 3rd party apps?

Thanks for the feedback! I guess it is obvious that I do not use device encryption. I may just have to make a backup and try this out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kuropis:
I haven't tried the encryption myself but would be interested to know the outcome.

Still need to get the newest build installed. No external SD card so I need to clear some room for a backup which I have neglected to do as well. :(

Not sure what else you need. I have read a few threads saying you can root the Verizion HTC One M8, however I am not on Verizon's network. I just have the red version of the HTC so it's built for Verizon. I am using MetroPCS running off T-Mobiles network.. Metro told me I'd be ok.. however, they couldn't figure out how to work my data. I figured it out myself.. my phone functions properly on HSPA+ connection for both calls and data. 4G (CDMA) connection only works for data, no calls/texts. I can't update due to a GSM connection. Only work in CDMA. Can't use hotspot or any form of tethering because it has been disabled by Verizon manufacturers. (Until purchased) But I do have hotspot on my current plan with Metro, the issue is it's Verizon locked. Is there a way to fix this? Is it possible to get into the boot loader and remove all Verizon locks, so to speak and run its full connection, updates, mobile sharing through its GSM antenna.

Thank you in advance for any advice.

[GUIDE] Mega Unbrick Guide for A Hard Bricked OnePlus X
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tanner1294:
Since you may ignore the other thread you started or it may get deleted I'll copypasta here:

We can try to unlock the bootloader as it is now, but that doesn't usually work unless you checked "OEM Bootloader Unlock" in the system settings before the device was bricked. Hindsight is 20/20 but as a word of advice for the future, never ever mess with a device unless you know the bootloader is unlocked or have made it possible to unlock it later without the OS. It also doesn't void the warranty on OnePlus devices to do so.

So first things first, the recovery will normally only flash the stock ROM as provided by OnePlus. You can download that file from here: http://downloads.oneplus.net/2016-04...xygenOS_2.2.1/. For future reference, when the bootloader on a device is locked the bootloader will not boot any software that isn't complete stock. If you try and change the OS or Recovery and it's not stock, the bootloader will not load it. This goes for any Android device.

If ADB sideload is working for you but hasn't been installing on the device (as-in, it sends the file but the device fails to install it) then you should be able to just sideload the zip file. It'll be slow though since it's about 780megs. If it doesn't send it then you can try using the ADB "push" command which is like copy and paste. You "push" the file from your computer to a folder on the device (you can see what folders are available using "adb shell" and then navigating with CD "change directory" and LS "list". If you can't find the sdcard you may have to mount it). Once again, it'll push slowly but once it does you should be able to install it from the internal memory.

If that works and it boots, go to Settings -> About Phone and tap the Build Number until it says you've enabled developer settings. Go to Settings -> Development and turn on "OEM Unlocking". Power the phone down. Hold the Power key and Volume Down until it shows the OnePlus logo and "Fastboot". I believe if you have the Android SDK you have the Fastboot program (it's commandline like ADB). Open CMD or Powershell and as long as it's the only device plugged into the computer you should be able to simply type "Fastboot oem unlock" and it will unlock the bootloader. Once again, it doesn't void your warranty.
[HTC One A9] Rent-2-Pwn:
Hello all, basically my goal here is to achieve Quick Charge 3.0 support to play around with before it's released OTA for me. I am currently running software number 1.57.617.32 and it is my understanding that 1.56.401.70 does have QC3.0 support. Honestly, this version might but I have no way of knowing for sure. Just saw this article here (http://bit.ly/1O8bFt4) and the picture showed that 1.56.401.70 does.

I do have a USB multimeter so I can post the results of the charge rate too if I get this flashed on and it works. With 1.57.617.32 on a QC3.0 capable charger it does 8.98V 1.17A.

Is there an easy way to change that behavior?
