[Q] Noob here. What ROMS will work for my S4?

I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4. Rooted. TWRP
But my build number differs from any I have seen. Heres my Specs.
S/W Version : L720TVPUBNC6
H/W Version: L720T.03
Model #: SPH-L720T
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband Version: L720TVPUBNC6
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-492378
[email protected] #1
Build #: KOT49H.L720TVPUBNC6
Trying to install a custom rom. Not sure which ones I could use.
Would also like to get around the native wifi tethering/ hotspot block.
Any help is appreciated!

have a look in the s4 dev forum, depending how many preinstalled apps/customizations you're looking for there are a few of them and few already with the hotspot mod enabled. try super s4 rom, it's mostly a clean rom with a few extras. sacs is also popular.. both these roms get frequently updated. overall, development for the phone seems to be slowly diminishing, so there isn't a whole lot to choose from. btw, i think you may want to extract the modem.bin from your current L720T rom and flash that after installing the rom if you run into any problems. maybe this thread and this one will be useful.

Any non stock based rom works fine on the 720t. Just flash no modems needed.. Ive done them all...currently : Sgs4t sokp rom.. Kt kernel.. Next launcher.. Next browser.. Twrp ofcourse

All ROMs in the Sprint Android Development, Sprint Original Development and S4 Unified Development forums

the problem is using ANY rom, particularly any modem other than what came with the phone you will likely lose ability to use tri-band and not be able to use spark LTE which is the "main" feature of this phone.. otherwise you'll be restricted to only normal LTE. not a huge deal but something to keep in mind.

Which one shouldI choose with this ROM?
Hi, I was wondering if I should choose the Kitkat 4.4.4 AOSP kernel or the GPE kernel with this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353
Thanks in advance for answering!

Anyone?!
Does anyone know this?

It doesn't matter anymore
It doesn't matter anymore, I found out which one. You need the Google play edition 4.4.4 and not the AOSP 4.4.4
In the end it was actually not that difficult, so I'm sorry for posting this "not that smart" question without reading a lot.

Random Reboot
Hi, i have installed this kernel using the setting in your script V6.
I have random reboot.
I use it on galxy s4 with google edition rom.
I hope you can help me, sorry for my english and i hope that what i have written is correct.
Thank you

Hi at all. I'm searching a post on XDA (I can't find it for now) where are explained all governor's parameters like block_cycles_offline_screen_on or boost_hold_cycles and ALL others.

Hay. I'm using MultiROM since a few weeks. I used the Alucard Kernel until now because you need the Kexec Hardboot patch to use it. Would it be possible to add this Patch to the Kernel? I love your Kernel but I also love MultiROM. It would be great if we could combine both

Guys first time using the kernel, I loaded "Smooth Criminal"" profile, so far so good, anyways, my question is about the Fast charge, is it safe to draw 1900mA (that is what the lecture says) from a USB port?? my rig is a gaming one and another thing is that is set to Fast Charge = Enable, USB Port = 425mA and AC = 1600mA, I assume those Custom values are override because is set to ""Enable"" instead of ""Custom"", just wondering if its safe.. :/ How would I know.

need help regarding battery life
first of all thanks a lot for the kernel.im quite new to android and had a battery draining issue from the beginning and i changed my kernel in to this but no significant improvement of the battery life.other than that my phone is very smooth n no any other issue.im wondering why the battery drain so fast and its not last even a day with a full charge.screen on normally 2 hours per day.this is my first kernel installation and i did it accordingly other than fixing permission because there was no such option in the recover mode.it would be so nice if some one kindly guide me to resolve the problem because im sure there is something wrong in my device but not the kernel. these are some information about my device
model number gt-i9505
android 4.4.2
baseband version i9505xxufnc4
kernel 3.4.98 KT-SG_kk4.4 07.12.2014
i am using ktoonsified v6 profile in ktweaker and i have tried manual settings as well
i have attached a screen shot of my battery usage. display is on around 20mns
thanks in advance

Thank you for this kernel!

Hello,
Exactly the same problem for me, GSM and WiFi does not work with this kernel (KT-SGS4-KK4.4-AOSP-INTL-12.7.2014) on a "Snapshot CM11-M12 in Galaxy S4 Intl"
Sorry for my bad English

Hi all !
Hello guys.I have a I9505 for a month now and so far i've enjoyed playing with rooting/modding and so on.I've flashed CM11 at first but I replaced it with some modded Echoe Rom Touchwizz 4.4.2 ROM,Today I flashed this kernel and i'm so pleased with it.Lots of cutomizable options,OC capable and so on.My issue with my device it's that it gets hot very fast(after 10-15min of gaming) and after that it starts to throtlle .I've used like 3 different kernels so far including the stock one and the problem persists.With this one I managed to OC the cpu to 2106MHZ stable and the GPU to 545MHZ also stable.When I enter Asphalt8 for the first 5-7 minutes the performance it's just flawless compared to non-OC settings.The problem is after those couple of minutes it begins to throtlle as it does and I find myself running at 1.2GHZ or so CPU freq and 128MHZ GPU wich mages the game unplayable.I also set the throttle limit way upper to 85-90 degrees or so...still nothing seems to be stopping the throtlling on my device.If anyone has some tips or so please do help me.I really wanna enjoy this kernel xD ! :-bd

CM12 with this kernel -> experiences?
I just switched from stock Samsung 4.2.2 to AntaresOne's Unoffical CM12 rom on my S4 i9505.
I'm having the Miscellaneous battery drain issue (even though I still have better battery performance than with the stock Samsung rom), and have been thinking of installing this kernel.
However, on the xda forums a lot of ppl seem to be of the opinion that switching kernel will result only in minimal to unnoticeable improvement in terms of power consumption (taking into account just the kernel, not things as Greenifying, freezing and such which are kernel independent).
Can any of you give some feedback whether they have been getting noticeably better battery life with this kernel in similar circumstances (CM12, Miscellaneous drain) with ktoonservativeq or conservative governors?
Also, are there any other significant advantages to this kernel than power/cpu management over the AntaresOne CM12 kernel?

Hi
How I can find the S4 Touchwiz 4.4.4 Kernel Source?

Permission to use your kernel
I am requesting permission to include your kernel in a ROM that I am building.

Hi!
I've used the TwZ Kernel 4.4.2 on my 9505, Stock 4.4.2 ZTO (Brasil) rom, Rooted (of course) and have a issue:
When flashed and reboots, it stuck on "Samsung GT9505.." Logo. The sounds it makes is the same from a custom booting, but still stucked 4ver.
Flashed via CWM 6.0.4.7
I also Wiped Cache/Dalvik, but didnt Fix permissions (CWM 6.0.4.7 dont have this option anymore)
Please, if I've did something wrong or not.
Also, i've already have everything back to normal after flashing a Rom backup
Sorry for most worst english.

I need help, what rom work great with this version of kernel AOSP KITKAT 4.4 VERSION ?

ktoonsez awsome
ktoonsez, sweet kernel as always
only issue I've got is it doesn't work with the induction charging pads, I've got a genuine Samsung one.
I know this is fairly low on your radar and priorities list but if you could update this thread when you get to it, that would be great
Cheers

induction charge
I think i posted in the wrong thread before, your kernels are the bomb, im using the last 5.0 release on cm12 optimised release and its fast no random reboot. Very fast, and i know mr kstoonzes youre working on bigger things but when you get around to it please have a look at the induction charging, few reports saying its borked. Other 5.0 kernels fine. Keep up the awsomest work and happy xhristman

Kernel suport 5.0

I don't think changing baseband will make any positive impact on battery life, if at all! I am not sure though, as you are using Jamal's ROM, you might want to ask that in that topic.
As per best kernel recommendation, you can't ask that on XDA, its against the rules. But I personally after trying them all came back to my trustworthy Faux kernel. I just didn't understand all the hype of some highly favoured kernels. I wanted something stable, and I got what I wanted with Faux's kernel.

[Q] note 3 N900W8. Which Rom? GPS issues.

Hi,
I'm interested in getting a ROM for my Canadian Note 3 N900W8. My friend only pointed me to the Cyanogenmod website and I have no idea which rom to get. I'm looking in the HLTE section. I see nightlies with a risk that they may be unstable but under stable or milestone, there are no roms to download, and the only other option is snapshot. I've already rooted my note 3, and I'm mainly interested in getting the the GPS working with the note 3.
Any recommendations?
Thanks

I use cm12.1 by temasek. Great rom. Nothing is bugfree now days but for me it works far more stable than stock rom. You can try.

Where can i get cm 12.1 (lollipop) for my note 3 sm-n900w8 hltecan, can anybody help me?

Hey! I was just going to post a question about the GPS issues I've been having with TW custom lollipop ROMS. I've tried s6 ports, note 4 ports , edge ports and all of them seem to have GPS issues. I downloaded GPS test and could never get a fix on my location . I figured it was a ROM issue so I went from ROM to ROM until I found xposed deathnote ROM for n900w8 which after flashing would acquire a signal right away . After restoring all my apps I went to flash a custom kernel so I could flash Viper and this is where I found the issue. As soon as I rebooted I lost my GPS so I started flashing kernels and finally found fulgor which not only fixed my GPS issues but is compatible with Viper.
I'm not sure if it's a bug or just the custom kernels not being compatible with n900w8 hardware but the fulgor kernel has been the only one that works.
FYI I had to re flash DOC firmware for my GPS to work . Before that didn't matter what kernel I used I had no lock on my location .
Also if I did a clean install no titanium backup restore my GPS did work with those other ports. I'm not sure if it's a combo of flashing xposed , custom kernel and restoring that was causing my GPS issues. .
Sorry I couldn't provide you with a definite reason why our n900w8 are having these GPS issues, maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in.

Thanks a ton! I've been using XDA for years, rooted/modded an S2, Note 10.1 2014 and my daily driver n900w8. Like how nice and easy CM is great I can do it on an old S2. Still battle with GPS, the unified daemon, etc., but generally sticking with Lollipop. I was considering the Deathnote ROM, but I've never seen the fulgor kernel suggestion before. Will have to check it out. CM 12.1 had much better cell signal and performance, but some other stability issues. Always a trade off!
Do you notice better battery life when the GPS lock works? Still have working NFC with deathnote? Seems like some hit and miss for people. Thanks!

This is the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3117018
(Xposed) DeathNote Rom Based On darklord for N900W8
My battery is always horrible when in use but great when it's in standby so can't really say. As far as I have tried no LP rom has a working NFC for N900W8 until Samsung releases our kernel source code (someone correct me if I'm wrong?) The developer for the Fulgor kernel has stopped development and is focused on audax kernel so not sure if fulgor will give you the best results. I'm too scared to start flashing kernels again since I have my phone set up perfectly which took me hours of restoring and tweaking lol.. gl

This is one I've been eyeing. Just haven't jumped in yet. Back on stock 5.0.1 when I had a problem flashing a different ROM.
Oddly the stock ROM battery seems to have improved in the last week or so. Standby is also great.
Before that CM 12.1 was better until I got too many stability issues and crashes...
May try it this weekend. Don't use NFC much but would like to implement NFC tags, which is why I'm holding back too.

I want to root my Note 4 910C. Can you guys help me with some questions?

Hello all!
I want to root my Note 4 so I could remove bloatware, earphone volume restriction, wakelocks, etc and use a custom ROM but, reading at the forum, it looks like somethings are different now since I last rooted a phone( LG G2). Can you guys help me with some question?
1- I have a Galaxy Note 4 910C with 5.1.1 stock rom installed. What kernel( I don't want anything special here, only an good overall perfomance and battery life) do you guys think I should use since now a custom kernel is must for rooting?
2 - I'm also looking into using DN5 or Sixperience custom ROM and I always see people talking about new bootloader and modem. What are those?
3 - Is anything else I should know before rooting( custom kernel -> TWRP for recovery - Custom ROM)?
Thx in advance

1-2. If you need all the functions of the phone then stock kernel is best as some of it don't work right on custom kernels unless the developer of the custom rom has done something about it when changing the stock kernel for a custom. "Welcome to TW roms" Compared to other manufactures its a pain in the beep to use Sammy's TW but I do love the whole spen feature.
I don't have a C so cant tell you much about there battery life but a solid rom on stock kernel can be very good and mix it with what ever app you use to freeze apps and its good. I use 3c toolbox "paid version" the best app ever.
Bootloaders and modems must match the rom version you want to flash or you will end up in bootloops so example if you want coi3 based rom then bootloader and modem must be coi3 as well or it wont work. in odin BL = bootloader and CP = modem.
3. use odin to flash the recovery and rooting I cannot remember as I did that only once which was a few weeks after note 4 was released so much could have changed since that.
