I have an AT&T S4 (I377) on Stock Rom 4.2.2 that I have rooted. I am new to the customization thing. I want to put Wanam's Adam kernel on it with the stock Rom. Is this possible and how would I go about doing that.
Wanam's Adam kernel has the ability to record phone calls. I need this function for my job or I am tied to a desk. My last phone, S2 Skyrocket, worked flawlessly in this aspect.
any help or direction on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
The rom has the ability to record phone calls not the kernel.

yep the rom has that feature, not the kernel.

I have the ATT 16G S4 variant. The device is rooted, sim unlocked, and has a twrp recovery. Two questions,
1. I have made a back up in twrp for boot, system, and data. But I do not see an option to back up the stock kernel. So how do I make a back up for my stock kernel? Or is the stock kernel already backed up as part of system?
Now I want to try running the Omega custom rom on it. I know I have to also flash a tw based locki patched kernel for my att variant since the bootloader is locked.
2 What is the best kernel for running Omega on ATT?
Thanks!
Your kernel is backed up with the boot when performing a nandroid. But "best"of threads are against xda rules man. Gotta try for yourself

Right, I meant, what are some of the tw based kernels which will run smoothly with Omega rom on my att device?
Not sure. There is only two kernels for tw and im pretty sure it says in in the link below you have to use a specific one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41834056
Edit. It says must use loki kernel. I skimmed over the faux kernel thread and didnt see anything about it being loki'd
So use KT kernel

I read that Adam and faux both work on ATT as well. I am on KT right now. I'll give the other two a try later. To see which one I like best.
Thanks!

All of them work perfect, each phone and what you run on your phone affects how the kernel will work for you...try each one, give 24hrs per kernel to see if battery results and such are for you.
Good luck

Thanks! I have been on KT for the past couple of days. Everything seems fine so far. I will try Adam and Faux in the weeks to come. I did notice the phone heats up pretty quickly after using the swipe to capture screenshot function. Is that normal?
Where can I find the Adam kernel download for AT&T S4?
I am rooted and on slimbean rom and I love it but I am one that likes to change back and forth between roms. I was wondering if there is a stock rom that I can flash without having to unroot? I do like the multi Window and the camera from the stock firmware but I won't want to stay on that for long. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Since rooting is so easy, I haven't seen anyone create a Stock+root ROM yet...
But then again I haven't been looking for one.
I don't get how to flash kernels. Than if I do flash a kernel how would I go back to the one I am now. Please help I want to flash kernels

Well to start. You can read the stickies, the how tos, and watch some of the videos.
Then there is also that g o o g l e thingy.
That would really help. It will probably keep you from turning your device into a shiny paperweight.

I've not had good luck with custom or source kernels. I use oudhs recovery and do a backup within recovery before flashing a kernel. The only combination my phone behaves with is stock kernel. I don't know why nor do I have any speculations. My phone just doesn't work right with custom or source built kernels. The phone either heats up fast or the Google keyboard I use starts acting flaky, so that's why I stay stock rooted hotspot mod with custom recovery. This phone is a totally different beast than my s2.

I agree. S4 acts way different than my S3 as far as flashing things go. Seems the S4 is way more sensitive and does some wonky stuff sometimes.

First, download a custom kernel such as Chronic or KTweaker, then nandroid, wipe caches, flash the kernel zip, fix permissions, and reboot. ROMs come with their own kernels; to get your original kernel back, just reflash your ROM.

What ROM/kernel combinations do you use? The only buggy kernel I've used is KTweaker. On Carbon 4.3, it reboots whenever my phone attempts to stream video. It may help to change your governor, especially if the kernel's default is Interactive.

Does anyone know of such a ROM that I can have root, download, deodex, and debloat (but no mods) for the SGH-I337? I'd like to run a pure stock rooted ROM without bloat. I do not want the modded (black) apps with the messaging and etc. Just the full on debloated stock experience with root privileges. No, I do not want a competition with whatever ROM is best as I do not intend to start an argument about it. So, in that case, does anyone have suggestions or the link to another XDA thread? Also, please make sure that it's latest stock for AT&T. Thanks everyone!

Ya could try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364635 however how you flash it will depend on what firmware your running now. If your mdf then refer to the safestrap threads for proper flsshing procedures and if yur mdl then follow loki directions. Hope this helps

I've been using MDOB for a month or so and it is great. Great battery life, smooth, debloated stock, excellent support -- a great ROM. -- Bud
Let me tell ya I have owned hd2, gs2, gs3, gs4, nexus s , nexus 4,atrix hd,transformer 300tf, galaxy tab 2 7.0 galaxy tab 2 10.1, nexus 7, note 2 ,note 10.1, and note 8.0.
I always go for stock based ROMs for stability. For I instal tons of apps that I get issues one after another on custom. I try ROMs after another update after another. This was like a routine which could be enjoyable but annoying sometimes for ur times limited.
With I337, I tried one ROM and I felt no need or urge to flash or even try another. I just could not find flaws or problem with this one.
Which ROM is this?
MDOB!
Bloat free based on stock and has all features I need. Give it a try. Make sure u follow devs guide on installation though for best possible experience!

Thank you so much BTW, should've thanked you sooner. Flashed MDOB and have been running it for about four days now. Very stable, has those white stock apps, and is absolutely amazing while also running stock kernel. Thanks so much!

I am so glad it has been working great for ya. I really wish other android devices that I use also had ROMs like MDOB.
Those add-ons listed on devs post for MDOB also work great as well for they are usually stock/hidden features. For example, torch light is from hidden stock menu and addon will unlock and enable it for you. Addon like in call recording is not an external third party app but it is like unlocking call recording menu within the stock dial/call pad which comes in very handy and convenient. If you have questions then the dev will try to help you promptly. I had minor issues but it was because I did not know how to use the features on ROM correctly. Of coarse the dev tried to help me find solutions along the way. He' s just a great guy and I feel lucky to have him here on gs4 community.

Was about to post same question!
Hi there,
Thanks for this thread and the answers. I was searching for exactly this topic.
I would like to try the MDOB ROM, as it sounds like what I am looking for.
The current MDOB ROM is based on the *MF3 firmware. Is this an issue? I am reading about the AT&T bootloader lock and loki fix that was added in to MF3, plus other custom ROMs that list either a broken sound or broken Wi-Fi as a known issue with MF3.
Are these issues fixed in this ROM (and how?) I don't want to loose TWRP and/or WiFi.
Thanks for any clarification,
Gemini420
MDOB is based on the lastest stock MF3 however it would not give u problems that you would face from updating to notorious MF3 stock.
If I am not mistaken you are supposed to have UCUAMDL stock rooted with custom recovery twrp (preferably i337 version listed on the MDOB page) prior to flashing MDOB.
Check out installation or flashing instruction on the MDOB for more info. The dev points to several things you should watch out for. I just followed the guide and my phone has been running pefectly ever since. Well I wish u Good luck.
Edit: Though I never had any issues with custom recovery and wifi, you might wanna ask there and see if such issues exist on MDOB.

If you look in the MDOB thread you can flash philz recovery. It's like a super CWM recovery...kinda..sorta lol. That's what iB4STiD recommends.
Hey guys.
I flashed the ktoonz kernel about a week ago and it works just fine except one thing: after a reboot my phone has forgotten my wifi password and i have to connect it again.
every time i restart the phone it's the same. it worked on stock kernel.
does anyone know this problem? it's quite annoying..
--edit--
i forgot to mention that i'm on stock samsung rom android 4.3 with touchwiz
and it's the international s4 (i9505).

10X
A custom kernel is not required for these ROMs as they include the stock Samsung TouchWiz kernel which I'd say is probably the best kernel for the stock ROMs.
Isn't there a way to get WiFi working without flashing a new rom? I don't want to wipe the phone actually and the kernel is pretty nice I think.
It's pretty konservative with the battery and gives me extra power when I need it.
Isn't there a WiFi-fix or something like that?

Got the same issue with 4.4.2 and newest kernel version...
Tried changing build.prop line but with no success.
Is there any kind of help or a adequate wifi fix for kitkat?
Solved: wiped cache and dalvik and fixed permissions couple of times. Now it works

I'm using GT-I9505 "international" with Paranoid Android 4.45 and successfully installed Ktoonsez kernel (3.4.94) with flashify app using Philztouch cwm recovery.
No problems at all, everything works, not tweaking by KTweaker, just raised 2.2GHz from PA's processor settings, ondemand as processor governor and Noop on i/o scheduler.
Tried few KTweaker profiles first but didn't find any good what understands to drop processor on deep sleep mode, almost all keeps it running all the time, PA's own handling with freshly installed KT-SGS4 kernel did best job for me.
Testing with profiles was frustrating thing, there wasn't way back to same situation what I got on fresh install.. few PA flashes later stand on "default".
Props to KToonsez (kernel), Christian Göllner (Flashify) and Paranoid Android.
