Just a quick post about the new updated kernel with VOLTAGE CONTROL! Be sure to check it out!

Just wanted you guys to know I have not forgot about the ol' S4! In fact, I've been a bit quiet around here while I focused on this special project! I've been scouring through commit after commit on GitHub trying to figure out why the voltage control didn't work. After lots of searching and changes, I finally found it, so be sure to give it a download!

Just a reminder, I cannot be held responsible for any changes you make to your phone's voltages.

And here is a link to the GPU voltage control app:

Hopefully I can update that in the future to be a little more aesthetically pleasing and allow for more options.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] arikdahn:
I love this ROM. Thanks a ton! Only a few bugs and I can live with em. I might have to go back to another android version to get my beloved youtube adblock xposed module, but this is a fun alternative for now.

Question. Any chance this ROM can be used in contingency with global adblocker? I have limited success with DNS66 and don't love the concept of filtering my browsing traffic through some unknown VPN

A attempted to use the fdroid version of adblock and it doesn't seem to do anything. I checked in the wifi settings and see there don't seem to be much in the way of advanced settings. Maybe this is why? I don't know much about android 7.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Great question!

I don't use add blocker myself, but I also don't do too much youtubing from my phone either.

My first recommendation for you is the web browser called "brave".

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brave.browser

It is open source, blocks adds, and is based on chromium/chrome. Obviously that doesn't help you from in app adds on your other apps, but it is a good start.

I will look around a bit about add blocking, but my mission is to make Roms, so I'm not sure I will be able to help much with add blocking.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Have you tried MoaAB? He supports build ins for ROM developers. If we test it out, and it seems to work, we could add it to the rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darazor:
arikdahn,

I was always an xposed user as well. And, rovo89 is the man.

However, I have found that AdAway(v3.2 org.adaway), App Ops(Qixingchen) and MyAndroidTools(wangqi) take care of 99.9% of the ad issues including all on youtube. and I can greatly limit the backgroung services each app can use thus save battery time, enhance personal privacy and increase device performance.

Check them out. You will have to take the time and do your homework to get the best out of each app. As always the more you know the better the results.

ALU has made a really great rom but he can't run it for you, He does give you a platform and tools for a unique experience on a 4 year old device.

He (ALU), will tell you that he has done little except use what others have made. I will tell you that if that were so then all roms would be the same and all burgers would taste the same.

-D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] arikdahn:
You guys are awesome. Thanks for the speedy and great replies. I will check out all your suggestions.

I also understand the limitations we're facing here and was never expecting anyone to run a ROM for me. I have owned a Sprint S4 for years and had to switch to Tmo for service price reasons. On that device (android 4.4) hostfile manipulation and xposed was the easiest way to globally block ads and I don't know that the same method is possible here. I am actually brand new to the M919 and the substantially increased dev attention over the L720. You are right; it is a bit of a learning curve skipping 2 versions.

I do hope you don't in any way consider my previous message to mean I am not appreciative of the hard work you have put in here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Thanks guys for the kind words!

As for ad blocking, I would suggest following [MENTION=2571065]darazor[/MENTION] 's advice.

I did try MoaAB: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916098

and downloaded the MoaAB_ADBlocking_06122017_R1.zip, which is a zip fro CWM, not TWRP. I extraxted the zip with Amaze File Manager (app) and then did the following in the terminal to install it:

$ su
# cd /
# mount -o rw,remount /system
# cp /sdcard/Download/MoaAB_ADBlocking_06122017_R1/system/etc/hosts /system/etc/hosts

which wrote the MoaAB host file over the system host file. After doing that, I attempted to figure out if the ad blocking was working. I only have 2 apps that have ads, one was blocked and the other was not. All MoaAB really does is make a list of known advertisement IP addresses, and tell the phone when looking for that advertisements IP address, to actually look at the phone itself. So, the add comes up as blank because your phone is not an ad server. This does not work in every case, as not every advertisement IP address is known. However, his list is quite inclusive, and I would imagine that it cuts down on quite a few of them.

That being said, a dynamic solution, like darazor supplied, would probably be best.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] arikdahn:
That sounds great. I will do just that. Unrelated, do you know a way to get the bottom drop-down taskbar toggles into the quick settings? When I pull down and try to reorganize them, I can only switch around the top few rows. Anything below that, if I try to long-press on them to switch them into the quick toggles, I cannot quite get them there. Is there any other way of accessing this in the settings you know of? I realize you probably have better things to do than answer my questions. Obviously it's completely optional.

In either scenario, this is shaping up to be the daily. When it comes to device customization, if I find something I can tolerate I stop tinkering and roll with the best option for me. I guess what I'm asking is do you have a donate page or something? It gets mighty cold up there so I'd appreciate the thought of covering your next couple coffees.

Thanks again for the kind words and the thought, but I don'e accept donations. I am glad that you like the ROM though! I can't take all the credit, I just build it for our phones and add/remove/edit a few tidbits here and there, the AOKP team does all the real work.

Every work is cooperative or else you spend all your time reinventing the wheel. Fair enough though. Thanks all the same.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] houboy:
Hello everyone, recently installed AOKP N and it has made my s4 super smooth! Thanks dev for all of your hard work.

I did have a few issues though and was wondering if it my current configuration or if its a ROM problem. I am on the NB4 baseband and have the 0619-AKLU kernel installed and sometimes get random reboots. Also during a call, I cannot turn on my phone screen (noted as an issue with AOKP in first post) but after the phone call I can't get my screen to turn on at times unless I hold the power button and do a hard reboot. What do yall think could be the issue? Thanks in advance for the help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Houboy,

Welcome to the AOKP! I'm glad you like the rom!

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble, I have a few suggestions:

First, I am not all about upgrading, but in this case you may want to, but before you do that, a few things to try.....

To solve the phone turns off issue, screen blanking problem, many here in this thread or the AOKP mm thread mentioned that same issue. In many cases, they used canned air and blew out the dust around their earpiece speaker, which cleaned out the sensor, allowing the screen to work normally.

There are also apps to align/configure your proximity sensor, which may be worthy of a try.

For the random reboots, in kernel adiutor, under thermal, turn off core control, and turn on throttling instead. Don't forget to check the perform on boot switch at the top.

I hope that helps! Let us know if you have more trouble, we are all sociable around here, and glad to help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Praise God! Another update!

There is a new download in the OP! Just a sync with AOKP for security patches through June! There is also a new web browser that you can try!

Just an FYI, I have changed the download link to a folder containing the rom(s), its just a little easier, so after an upload I do not have to update the links, as the folder will not change, just the rom in it.

Enjoy and Happy Independence Day and weekend to my fellow Americans!

Edit: also, the latest AKLU kernel still works with this rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darazor:
Thanks for keeping security patches/etc., current especially as the S4 isn't even your DD. I have to wonder what other S4 users have as their rom.

It seems that most are not taking advantage of a truly free and wonderful gift that makes this device better than it was when new.

Where are the tmo s4 users? Perhaps the urge to upgrade the hardware is greater than the want to upgrade the software.

Will wave a flag for you. -D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Thanks darazor, you are too kind! But don't be dismayed, it is kind of quiet around here, but since posting the new build it has been downloaded over 40 times! So somebody out there is still using it.

Also, I forgot to mention that I also changed the boot animation to the old "lightning" AOKP boot animation.

If you want the newer "pony-gear" animation, you can grab it here in the "Official AOKP" folder:

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/o172vzm25q6n3/bootanimations

Or you can poke around the other animations and use any of those if you like them. Checkmate was one of my favorites, although I made these a while back for older phones, so they may be a little "fast" and/or "small" on your phone now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] arikdahn:
For me it's the only phone and thanks to you and the AOKP team it continues to surpass my expectations daily. Newer devices lack the winning combination of required (in my opinion) AMOLED screen, configurability, modular design, and overall awesome user experience. The S5, S7 and S8 are of course better devices but Knox keeps them from being usable while rooted. Plus if anything goes wrong with them, you're screwed. The ones you can disassemble without breaking them never go back together as good as new. The waterproofing material makes them difficult to reassemble without disrupting the alignment on the screen and buttons. You can also kiss the waterproofing goodbye. I buy a device to use, not replace every year. Because you continue to keep this, the best phone ever made, alive, you're helping us in taking a stand against the way devices are sold these days. As hugely expensive, irreparable testaments to our impressive technological capabilities as they are surpassed by the greed to remove control how we, the owners, use them.

So long as this thing is current enough to function as it does now, I will be using it. My Sprint S4 is essentially a new phone by now as many parts as I've replaced and the TMobile seems to be doing great as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nmb52:
I installed the 2017-06-30 ROM last night as a first venture into Android 7. I've been on a 5.1 ROM for a long time. Impressions so far of this ROM are very good; it seems noticeably faster that the 5.1 I was on.

Battery life was noticeably reduced from my Greenified 5.1 ROM, so I installed your AKLU kernel to see how that works. I've installed Greenify to sleep a few apps that want to hang around; I don't know if Greenify might conflict with the internal battery optimization.

The only thing I have noticed so far is that using HDR in the camera results in blank photo. I think it was the Gallery app that indicated it could not load the image. Video recording does work; so you seem to have addressed that. Has anyone else noticed HDR mode not working?

Thanks again, great work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Thanks, I'm glad that you like the ROM!

Yes, HDR is not working currently.

Edit: Let me rephrase that - the built in camera app does not currently have working HDR. However, HDR does work with apps such as open camera.

Hi again,

I have an app (Doggcatcher) that manages a large number of podcasts on a 32G external SD drive. When trying to assign the SD card as its working directory, as /storage/xxxxx (where xxxxx was a fairly random string), I was seeing read only notices from Doggcatcher. I could not get to /mnt/media_rw; it said media_rw was unaccessible.

After some research, I backed up the card, formatted it as portable storage, and copied the contents back on the SD card. Now the system really does show the SD card as portable storage, but when I set /system/xxxxx as Doggcatcher's working storage, it still fails with read only errors. Is there a different mount point to use?

It seems that read only SD cards are not a new problem with nougat, but I am not sure how to fix this, partly because Lineage OS seems to have changed some things. I found the site below, but I have not tried what it said because the SD card is not in fact mounted under /mnt/emmc; a shell with adb shows that clearly. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks much for any pointers you can give.

Anybody know why my kernel settings app for the OC kernel won't save frequency offset on reboot despite the bubble being turned on? I even checked the code settings and it appears to be applying these settings and quick charge as I have it configured but when I check the app only quick charge continues to be enabled.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Great question.

By freq. offset, I did not know if you meant voltage offset per frequency, or frequency limits. I tried both to be sure.

I was using the unupdated kernel adiutor with the latest AOKP and the latest AKLU kernel.

For voltage offset, it worked flawlessly for adjusting individual and global offsets. First, I gave the 384 MHz an adjustment from 900 to 912 and rebooted. It stuck. I then gave a global offset of +15 MV and rebooted. My 384 MHz frequency after reboot was 927.

Do keep in mind that there are limits to how far they can be adjusted. If it is outside of the limits it will not stick. That being said, if you were to adjust it that far it would not likely work.

Then I tried frequency limits, in case you meant that instead. Adjusting min and max worked great.

I have found that if I make an adjustment, it is wise to toggle the on boot button off then back on to make sure it saves the new info.

If that is what you are referring to, it seems to work great here. If not, be sure to elaborate. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of it.

Are you using anything other than the stock root? E.g., magisk, root cloak, etc?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darazor:
arikdahn,

Wish I could help you here but after initially using the OC kernel I decided to take the Ockham's razor approach. I don't do games generally (except for an occasional critical velocity jaunt when I want to punish my psyche) and wasn't convinced a 5% increase was worth possible conflicts/system stress. Yet, I fully understand why you may want to explore the many options. ALU will no doubt have some incite and/or solution. Good luck and glad to see you are using this great rom.

-D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Nmb52,

Interesting problem. I am not familiar with doggcatcher. Does it have a forum or help page? It may be a specific problem with that app.

As for your external sdcard, if you open the terminal app (from settings, dev options, show terminal app, then open in app drawer) you can quickly check where your card is mounted with:

$ df

That will show it. For me, if I am mounting it as portable storage, it is listed at:

/mnt/media_rw/<randomcardname> and it is mounted on /storage/<randomcardname>

If I format to internal storage, it is mounted at:

/mnt/expand/<random long card name>

If mounted as portable storage (which I recommend in your case), you will get permission denied errors if you open the terminal and try to cd to media_rw. However, you can cd to /storage/<randomcardname>. So use /storage/<randomcardname>/<your new working folder that you created> for your apps working directory. That should work. I hope! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] arikdahn:
I was actually trying to undervolt for battery savings and yes I meant voltage offset. The changes seem to stick until I reboot but maybe you're right in that the under voltage ratings I was attempting might have been too extreme. Thanks for the reply!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
I think I may see a problem with interpretation of KA.

So, I gave a -15 global mv, rebooted, and it stuck.

Notice though, my 384 MHz is originally 900 mv. Now it was 885+12 (that I gave it previously) making it 897 MHz. When I click on global offset, it says 0. It is asking from the current state, not from the original state, because it currently has -15, but the global offset is 0. If I look at the numbers of each frequency, it is correctly -15 from the original state.

So, when you use it, are you saying that none of your numbers change from original upon reboot? Or just that the global offset is 0?

If it is a case of extremes, try a global -5 and see if it sticks. Or, try an individual frequency by -5, and see if that works.

Does that help? If not, a clean flash may be needed.

Well, off to church, good luck. Let us know how small adjustments work out.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snoere:
Coming from a Note 1 (N7000), I'm quite satisfied with the work of XDA developer bauner . He set his focus on providing a stable CyanogenMod based ROM wich is always updated with the latest security patch level - no fancy, just stable and secure. He is even working on a CM14.1 ROM.

I got an old Note 3 from my son. I'm not sure, if I should keep it, despite it's way better hardware wise than my Note 1 from 2011. I keep some business related data on my phone, so my focus is on security.

From looking around, I found several ROMs for the N9005 which haven't been updated for months. I found some other ROMs (based on Note 7 stuff) which are updated frequently, but seem to focus on fancy stuff, nice features, but never mention any security related update.

So I'm wondering: is there really no ROM for N9005 with focus on security? Or did I miss one?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sjant:
I'm sure most of the CM13 roms comes with the latest security updates. Trader is still updating temaseks cm13 with security upgrades for example. You can also go go ahead and try out one of the two CM 14.1 roms here on the forum.
