No problem, I am glad that you found a ROM that works for you! :D

I did test out the gesture anywhere on my phone for over a day now, and it is working great here. I wonder if has anything to do with the philz touch recovery?

In any event, thanks for taking the time to respond! :D

No problem!

Here is the link for downloading TWRP for the T-Mobile phone:

Just an FYI,

New build will be rolling out soon. No big changes, but the security has been updated to match the September 6th, 2016 bulletin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darazor:
Hope you did not have to do this all by hand.

By my count I see some 55 security bulletins for 9/1, 9/5, and 9/6.

In any case, thanks for your great efforts. We users of your AOKP based ROM are among about 1% or less of android users to benefit from this truly "Special" treatment -timely security updates. -D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Once again, you are too kind, as it was not my doing. Fortunately for us, the AOKP team did the security updates this go around. However, they are shifting their focus to nougat, so I do not know how long they will maintain the marshmallow updates. I will, Lord willing, continue to update this rom, as long as they keep the security updates, and the builds do not break.

Hopefully, we can transition this trusty ol' S4 to nougat with them. :D

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

By God's grace, another successful build is up!

The OP has been updated with new download links. There were no notable changes to the ROM or kernel, but the security patches were updated to September 6th by the AOKP team!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] D<3'SJ2427:
First off let me start by saying THANK YOU!!! for such active development on this device, truly amazing! I'm on stock fw 4.4.4, is there any per-requisites that you could suggest before flashing? Again thank you for you time and contributions!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Thanks, but I can't take all of the credit, a lot of the work is done by the AOKP team, I just build it for our phones.

As for prereq's, I have used old modems/bootloaders and the newer modems/bootloaders, and it should work with all of them. I used to use TWRP 2.8.7, now I use 3.0.2, so either of those should work. I highly recommend that you follow the instructions on post #154: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67932273&postcount=154

Welcome to the AOKP! Be sure to chime in on how you like it after you try it. And you are welcome to ask any questions here! :D

How come wifi-calling doesn't work for me? When i switch it to On but it always keeps being on off.

Hey everybody! I am still waiting for the updated security patch to get applied to the AOKP source. I do not see any activity on AOKP M (6) source at this time, but we will keep our fingers crossed. The AOKP team is working really hard on AOKP N (7) and it is taking a lot of their time. I have tried to build AOKP 7 and have not created a bootable image yet, but when I do, I will let you know! In the mean time, I hope to get the security on AOKP 6 updated, I am just waiting to see if the AOKP team will continue to update MM or not.

Semi off topic question. My son and I like to play Pokémon Go together but with the new update out doesn't allow us to play because we are rooted. I did a search and did find a very lengthy work around but was hoping their might be another option I just haven't found yet. Any ideas?

Thank you so much!

Only way working at the moment besides root switch is suhide0.55+06suhide fix but both require systemless root

I personally use supersu2.78 sr1,suhide0.55+06suhide fix,and xposed 86.2 and pogo works my boys play it on mine but is a big back and forth keeping root and all my xposed mods going and them still be able to play Google keeps updating safetynet seems everyday but below is how I got ir working for the moment

backup everything first!!!!!

Then do full unroot useing supersu app reboot to twrp

flash supersu 2.78 sr1(should install systemless by default since Samsung)

flash suhide0.55( I had to flash .54 and .55)reboot

in terminal su then put code from [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] (believe post 2617 of suhide thread)

install suhide gui from playstore make sure Google play services is checked after installed (should be by default)

reboot

use kernel auditor to set kernel to enforcing

if all done correct u should be able to pass safetynet and play pogo again

sent from my SGH-M919 BadAss TinkerToy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Dtriguero, thanks for the update on the safety net. I took some time to read through some of those links and material you sent me, and it is fascinating, especially when it comes to bank software.

As for N, I actually just synced AOKP 7 and tried another build. The AOKP Team is doing great work, but it is not quite ready yet for production. I am hoping it will be build able soon though, and I will be keeping my eye on it. In the meantime, I have been playing with AOSP 7 and CM14, just to get a feel for N. The build system is really different than what we used before. Now we use Ninja to build everything.

For any who are ready to jump on N, the JDCT has created a fairly smooth CM14 for all GSM S4s. It looks pretty good, but I have not tried it yet myself. I'm holding out for a home brew of PAC or AOKP. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kuropis:
Thanks for the info about Pokémon Go. I appreciate your time posting the information. I will look into it but honestly it may be more of a hassle just for a game.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dtriguero:
Been playing with 7.0 aosp rom from jdc haven't tried cm14 by them. I've been playing with it off and on in spare time but still run this aokp as my daily with matching dev kernel. I do like alot of the new things 7.0 brings can't wait till @ AlaskaLinuxUser is able to get one cooked up. Developing on android is a great learning experience and we old dogs are never to old to learn new tricks and @ AlaskaLinuxUser ur doing a awesome job keep up the great dev work (for us old dogs with old phones lol)

sent from my SGH-M919 BadAss TinkerToy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Progress is on hold for N at the moment. In 7.0, we use Ninja to oversee the build. Ninja calls Jack. Now Jack has been around for a while. However, this Jack/Ninja combination is over tasking my "new to me" server, which only has 8 GB of ram. Per the instructions, 16 GB of ram are required to build 7.0, however, I have been using a few tricks to get around it, but the outcome thus far has garbled data that passes through Jack, causing unsuccessful builds.

The warning I get tells me that the output may be corrupted or incomplete.

However, on the plus side, 16 GB more of ram are on their way by dogsled, so we will should be cooking ROMs at full throttle in no time! The AOKP team has done some really great work on 7.0, and I am really excited to see the final results! Lord willing, we will all be enjoying the AOKP team's hard work soon!

No, not yet, it takes a while. Amazon prime shipping is the cheapest way to get parts to Alaska, but I think they take it by dogsled team, and there's not much snow right now, due to the unusually warm weather. ;)

Yes, I have been keeping tabs on the JDCT, and they are, as always, doing excellent work. AOKP, PAC, and the other CM based ROMs can't do too much yet without CM being stable, but I see their teams pushing multiple commits daily, so I am earnestly looking forward to working on it as soon as I get the ram. :D

AOKP 7.0, build in progress.....

Only about a dozen errors so far.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sethtyler21:
so im coming from 4.4.2 , MK2 , Insane Kit Kat rom. Are there any other steps or do i need to be on a certain base via ODIN before I flash this rom?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Short answer: Nope.

Long answer:

I have tested this on the MDL boot loader and modem, and, to God be the glory, it worked just fine. I have also tested on OK3 and a few in between while I worked up through the flashes. The key is to use the best modem for your local networks. If you are getting good signal, I would recommend that you go ahead and flash this just as your phone is. If the results are that your cellular signal is not as good, you can always flash some newer one, like OK3. Also, if you happen to not like the ROM (I hope not, it is very feature rich) you can always go back to Insane KK.

Hope that helps, and be sure to drop in with a line about how you liked the ROM! :D

Little off topic would u happened to have the ok3 modem.bin and nohls.bin files signal stinks out here in the woods where I at maybe updating it may help a little I on nk2.

I am not sure yet. Right now the goal is making it work at all, then the details. :D

Great question. Actually, those on the screenshot are not errors, but rather good parts of the build.

I can take a look, I think I just flashed the whole ok3, not just the modem files.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
I have the OH3, but not the OK3 modem zip. I also have the OK3 stock rom, which I flashed to get my phone to OK3.

Also, my memory may be incorrect, but I thought that you should not flash a nohls.bin file if you didn't have the matching bootloader. (?) You can flash any modem file, regardless of bootloader, but not the nohls.bin, I think.

Yep.... I found it while writing this, here is a link to the OK3 modem and a discussion on not to flash nohols.bin unless you have the matching bootloader:

New app to control the GPU voltage!

Hey everybody, sorry I haven't posted much lately. I am in an Android App developer course and have been learning how to make apps in my spare time.

But, to show the fruit of my labors was not in vain, I present this app to you:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=69787594

It is an app that I made so you can control your GPU voltage! By God's grace it even works! Be sure to check it out, because I signed up for the course just so I could make this voltage app for our beloved S4!

Sorry the graphics are a bit cheesy, I am still a beginner when it comes to app making.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darazor:
Thanks for app.

I waffled as to increase or decrease voltage to start. Finally settled on 10 mv increase. ? performane vs cooler running. I'll play a bit as I see if any issues on my S4 and see what anyone else tries and their results.

The graphics are fine for me. Don't really need dinner and a movie. I know the perfectionist in you won't let you stop until it really suits you.:)

D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Thanks darazor,

I just couldn't let the GPU voltage settings sit, uncontrolled. ;)

I set mine to -10 mV and watched an hours worth of mickey mouse YouTube videos with the kids, and we didn't have an issue with the phone. I am not so sure about the new mickey mouse.....

You are exactly right, the +10 should provide super stable performance (especially with the GPU over clocked to 487 MHz), and then the -10 should help with cooling. Technically, these setting will affect battery, but overall I doubt it will be a noticeable change.

Thanks for the feedback!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Well, sorry to say, I have been having a tough time getting a fully functional N ROM ready for you guys, but I haven't lost hope! I am still working on it. I just finished upgrading my computer, and am ironing out a few settings, and plan to work on a few more builds.

I know it is a bit of a wait, but I don't want to release a half baked or stuttery, or randomly rebooting, or not quite fully functional ROM.

In the mean time, there is always the good ol' trusty AOKP MM, or the JDCT CM14.1 ROM, which works pretty well.

Thanks for your patience! :D

Great News and a Status Update!

Praise God! I've got some great news and a status update about AOKP 7.1.1!

Hello everybody,

I really appreciate your patience as I struggled through Android "N". I just wanted to give you all some great news that hopefully will make your day! I just finished installing my custom home brewed 7.1.1 on my S4, and we now have cellular!

What's working:

Cellular, Bluetooth, WiFi, Sound, Screen, Touch, Buttons, and more!

What's not:

-The Camera works for photos, but not for video. (Sounds ironically familiar....)

-MTP has issues sometimes, however, ADB, PTP are all working correctly.

-Due to stealing some things from JFLTEXX, my T-Mobile thinks it is an international phone. Some build prop editing can fix that in no time, though!

-I do not think NFC is working properly, but I don't know for sure yet.

The plan right now is to "clean it up" a bit and I hope to be posting a new thread with AOKP 7.1.1 in the next day or two. The Multi-Window function is surprisingly handy....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dtriguero:
That's great news to here can't wait to give it ago. I've read jdcteam maybe making some headway with video recording. Maybe one of them might be able to help u shed some light on what might be happening with ur 7.1.1.

Also are u including November security patches I here they cause some issues mainly with suhide and some other systemless mods like xposed but I do believe xposed has been updated to deal with the November patch.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
As always, great questions and thoughts!

The camera:

I have successfully made video recordings with audio using a homemade app that I put together. However, it is very crude, and sometimes crashes, so I am trying to "dress it up" a bit. My app making skills are very limited, so it just barely works... I think I will release the rom without it, and then include it when I finish it as a download.

The November 5th security updates are included. I do not know for sure if xposed will work, I think I will draw on your testing skills to figure that one out while I continue to work on the camera. :D

Need to Unroot for my job

I have a couple questions if anyone can help me. My S4 is rooted and running this Aokp ROM 6.0.1 from Alaska. However, I just found out that I need to Unroot and return to stock firmware to be able to continue using my phone for work. Since I don't have another phone, I need to go back to stock.:mad:

That said I had some questions as it's been a while since I've messed with custom Roms, etc.

Is it possible to Unroot, yet still keep a custom ROM?

What is the stock firmware for my I9500? I don't have the file with me anymore. I really need to figure this out by Friday, my next work day. If any can help me out, being that I'm rusty at this stuff after not messing around with it for a while. Also do I have any other options I may not be thinking of?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Well, great question.

"Is it possible to Unroot, yet still keep a custom ROM?"

Yes. Slim 7.1, here in this thread, is a rom I made just for that purpose. Slim 7 comes unrooted by default. This affords you a custom ROM, and a custom kernel if you want it, all without root. However there is a slight camera issue with video recording.

Likewise, you could use Slim lp 5.1, which has no issues whatsoever, and you can make sure root is turned off under settings.

Now, you can use the AOKP with root turned off under the settings, too, but some features will not work.

However, if it is for work, then you may also need a kernel that is selinux enforcing, but all of my rooms are selinux permissive. Depending on your works criteria, that may be an issue.

If you had more time, you could experiment, but I think you probably should stick with stock if your job depends on it.

I hope that helps a little.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BlueRomulan:
I am stuck at the unicorn boot animation. I flashed a stock 4.4.4 rom via Odin 3.09, flashed auto-CF, then TWRP 3.1.0. I booted into TWRP and installed this rom, Gapps 6.0 nano, and superSU v2.5.2. I waited about 20 minutes with no success.

When that didn't work, I booted back to TWRP and wiped everything except microSD (cause I don't have one) and USB OTG. I reloaded the rom, gaps, and superSU, then reinstalled in that order. Wiped cache/davilk and rebooted. My phone still can't boot past the animation screen.

Where am I screwing up? My internal storage is ext4 format and I have no issues flashing back to stock with Odin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Yooshaw:
I would skip Super SU, don't think it's needed for install. You can always add it after a successful boot.

OK I tried everything from the beginning again:

1. Restored to stock 4.4.4 rom with Odin 3.09

2. Flashed CF-auto root (4.4.4 based on NH7 build)

I noticed that my wifi wasnt turning on and I got KNOX disable notification at reboot. SuperSU was stuck on disabling KNOX. I ignored this after a while.

3. Flashed TWRP 3.10.-0 with Odin

4. Backed up in TWRP

5. Performed factory reset

6. Flashed rom

7. Wiped devlik/cache

8. Flashed gapps 6.0 nano

9. Rebooted

Waited 10 minutes

10. Rebooted back to TWRP, wiped cache, rebooted.

I still cant get past the boot animation. Could it have something to do with the KNOX counter? What is that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Yooshaw:
When I flashed TWRP 3.1 (just to update TWRP), when I rebooted, my WiFi refused to work. Flashed back to 3.02 and WiFi worked again. Try flashing with TWRP 3.02, I have a feeling 3.1 isn't fully compatible with our device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BlueRomulan:
I tried again with TWRP 3.02 but I still can't get past the boot screen. What about using a different kernel or modem?
