:cyclops:
I am very pleased to present to you the first Touchwiz KitKat rom for the T999 and variants!!! :victory:
WiFi and screen rotation are now fully functional! HUGE Thanks to @ktoonsez for his kt747 kernel which solved these two very annoying issues!!! If you have not already, make sure you visit one of his threads and thank him for his outstanding work! (We don't even have the kernel source for the T999 and I747 and he still managed to build a fantastic kernel for us to use!) (It is included with the rom, no need to flash separately.
Visit his Kernel Thread to learn more about this kernel!
Currently, there are very few bugs and I feel this rom is perfectly capable to be a DD. See below for a list of bugs and temporary solutions so you can fix them until the next update.
Anyone is more than welcome to use this Rom in anyway they choose without asking permission first! Just please don't forget your credits, and make sure you include ktoonsez, CNexus, JustArchi and the Sprint folks without whom this Rom would not be possible!
This is quite capable to be a base for devs to create or update their current roms with. If nothing else, it would be a great way to get started by using it to test and debug your mods in preparation for the official release which isn't too far off now! (I am told, by someone who I believe to be a reliable source, that KK for the T999 and T999L should be released between 5/28 and 6/5! Possibly sooner if testing goes well!) (I have also heard that more and more test builds are being produced, indicating that they are getting close!)
Please keep an eye on the following few posts for more information about KitKat, and what to expect when our update is finally released. I have learned some interesting things working with this and the guys in the Sprint forums so I hope to relay all of that to the rest of you here.
Prerequisites
You must be running the FULL 4.3 bootloader and firmware! It has been reported to not boot when using the 4.1.2 or earlier firmware. This rom has been confirmed to work with the T999 (NC2 and MJC) and both the T999L and T999N (NC1).

NOTE: I am leaving the above Sprint kernels in case any devs want them for any reason. These are NOT intended for normal use with this rom. They will break wifi and screen rotation is upside down. Also with the secure kernel you would have issues writing to your sd card.
Instructions
BACKUP! BACKUP! BACKUP!
Flash rom via latest version of the custom recovery of your choice
Factory Reset recommended
First boot WILL take a while! Several minutes at least.
During setup, after choosing your language, you will see a screen with "Wait a sec..." at the top.
DO NOT, let the screen time out and turn off!!! (You will have to start over!)
After this, proceed with setup normally and reboot when done.
To fix the WiFi icon in statusbar
Open the Google Play Store and wait for it to load its home screen. Close the store.
Using a root file browser, go to /system and edit the build.prop as follows:
Change ro.product.name= "d2tmo" to "d2spr". Save and reboot.
(Note: by making this change, you will fix the WiFi icon, but will lose the T-Mobile 4G data icon. It will show 3G, H+ instead.)
(IMPORTANT: If you do not open the Play Store app BEFORE making this change, the Store will NOT work!)
Pests (Known Bugs)
MMS will not send with WiFi on - It seems this is how all Sprint builds are made. Not actually a bug, but I am told there is a Wanam Xposed module that can make this work. If WiFi is on, you can send and receive SMS, but cannot send MMS and will just get a notification if one is received.
You can only have one of the following two: Either the nice looking WiFi statusbar icon, or the T-Mobile 4G icon. Fixing one reverts the other.
Pesticide (Temporary fixes for bugs)
WiFi Icon fix
In build.prop, change d2tmo to d2spr. Reboot. -Thanks to @serio22 for figuring this odd one out! :highfive:
See instructions above. This will break the Play Store unless you first open the app and let it load.
I want to extend my gratitude and a huge thanks to all the folks in the Sprint forums for making this port possible! If I forget anyone please let me know! If you see these guys be sure to hit their "Thanks" button!
Original Sprint Rom Thread
CNexus' [STOCK ROM][4.4] ND8 Kitkat ROM
Thanks and Credits:highfive:
@CNexus - For all of his hard work on Sprints official release, his dedication and for being such a cool Kat to work with! @ktoonsez - For his outstanding kernel and help!
@JustArchi - For his new ArchiKitchen that allowed them to get out a fully functional ROM!
@bilgerryan - For his helpful posts and info!
@DR_CDMA - For releasing the ND8 firmware so quickly!
@serio22 for the WiFi icon placement fix.
@rompnit, @freeza, @sleshepic, @tdunham, @jdsingle76 - For helping CNexus and other posts and contributions!
@srnoth - For being who I believe to be the first to get Sprints release running on a different device (in a bit of a roundabout way!)
@Perseus71, @TheLastSidekick, @Aerowinder, @Woody, @saranhai, @enewman17, @mrRobinson - For always being so cool and helpful! I've learned a lot from them all whether they realize it or not!
Well, now that I have finished up on the Rom (for now!), I am going to try to let you guys know what all I have learned about Touchwiz KitKat in the process. I hope to make things easier for everyone when our official release finally makes it out.
Some of the main hurdles included getting WiFi and Mobile Data to work correctly, and writing to both internal and external storage. I will add more information as I think of it.
If I recall correctly, once they got their rom flashing over in the Sprint forums, it was quickly discovered that their mobile data would not work. It turns out it was a permissions issue and by using the new ArchiKitchen by @JustArchi, it was solved. The ArchiKitchen built a new updater-script that took care of this issue. This is a new Kitchen that started out as a continuation of dsixda's original Kitchen. JustArchi has since done a complete, total rewrite from scratch making it a 100% new and original project! Please check it out and be sure to thank him for his awesome work! I have not had much chance to mess with it much myself, but it does appear that we need to become familar as it will be required if we wish to use a kitchen to build our roms. (As I understand it, CNexus had added all d2 devices to the Kitchen, so it should be ready to use!)
Shortly after getting the updater-script right, there were reports of not being able to write to both internal and external sd cards. The fix for writing to External storage is in /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
You have to edit the following:
Code:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
</permission>
just add a group to look like this:
Code:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
I was having the same issues with my ported rom at this point, and after much testing found that my kernel solved the issue where we could not write to the internal storage. So for some reason, selinux was preventing us from writing to it. This is why I included and recommend only using the insecure kernel with the rom. You may notice that where you usually see selinux status in About Device, nothing is there.
For those who do not know, KitKat introduced more security features, which is what causes the inability to freely write to our storage. When you install an application it should create its own folder and will then be able to write only to that one. This is to prevent other apps from having access to your full storage and data they do not need. The problem is that many apps have not been updated to make use of this. There is also the issue where if an app that has been updated is trying to use its own folder that it created in another version, such as 4.3, it can no longer use it. Titanium Backup is a good example of this. I didn't test, but I suspect that if you started completely clean, and installed TiB, it would work fine. However, many of us have an existing TiB folder and after updating to KK, it would no longer work.
Finally, one of my biggest issues with porting it (not one experienced by the Sprint guys), was my mobile data. If I shut it off and rebooted, voice calls worked just fine. But if I enabled mobile data, the connection would cut in and out over and over. It would work while connected, but it was very annoying! I will add what I did to fix this shortly.
For now, I hope this info helps everyone! I will add links to more information a bit later.
ChangeLog
1.0 - Initial Release
2.0 - (5.14.2014)
Included kt747 kernel (5-13-2014) (WiFi fixed, Screen Rotation Fixed)
Added APN's (Should now auto-populate regardless of your carrier. AKA, no more manual setup!)
Added more language options
Updated system apps
corrected build.prop values
Added busybox to updater-script
Replaced Sprint Shutdown animation with T-Mobiles (oops forgot the sounds! Still Sprint Sounds with Tmobile anim)
Fixed Video Playback bug (horribly choppy playback on hi-res vids)
v2.1 - Final - (5.16.2014)
Fixed APN issues from previous release - Thanks to @lj27416 for posting the apns-conf.xml
Fixed Maps force closing
Fixed reboot binary - Thanks to @CNexus
Updated system apps (including todays Google Play Store update with Paypal support)
Tips
GPS - If your GPS is having trouble finding your correct location, download GPS Test by Chartcross from the Play Store. Run and give it a few moments to find satellites and it should narrow to within several feet of your location. Now try your apps that require your location again (maps, weather, etc)
Metro PCS - (T999N users) - You will not have mobile data after flashing this rom. You will need to manually enter your apn. This should no longer be necessary, but I will leave this information up in case it is helpful. Your correct apn is as follows:
(any line not listed should be left blank or default)
Name: MetroPCS
APN: fast.metropcs.com
MMSC: http://metropcs.mmsvno.com/mms/wapenc
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: default,mms,supl
Use the S5 Launcher! - Edit your build.prop. Change all d2tmo/d2spr/d2att values to kltetmo/klteatt/kltespr/kltevzw depending on which you have of course. Hint, try each one to see which mobile data icon you like. Use kltespr if you want the fixed wifi icon though. Thanks to @allenjthomsen and @serio22 for bringing this to our attention!
Mods & Themes - Thread by @65coupei6
[TW 4.4.2][ND8] Mods/Themes Compilation - Be aware this is an AT&T thread, but anything confirmed working there should also work here. This is no guarantee though. Also, please remember, if using ANY theme/mod and you find a bug, reflash the rom clean and test it BEFORE posting it here as a bug report. Questions/reports/etc about any of the mods there should be posted there as well. Thanks!
First! Wow First Port Awesome Work Doc! Quick Question, Can This Be Flashed On T999L?
Thanks Doc great job.

I don't see any reason why not. If you have any issues you should be able to just restore your android backup or reflash your previous rom or firmware.
If you do give it a try please report back to let us know for sure.

have 8 minutes left on my download going to try and flash to my t999n and see what happens
Splendid job as always Doc!
i install and everything works(including the screen rotation) but my data isn't working on Metro pcs, any idea how i could fix this
Edit: Fixed it had to manually put in the APN settings everything working now =]
You'll probably need to manually enter your apn. I'm not sure what it should be but a quick Google search should net you some good results.
Thank you for trying it out on your T999N btw! This means it should also work just fine on the T999L.
When you say screen rotation works, when you go landscape its not upside down?

Double checked the rotation it is upside down >.<, was so excited i didn't even notice. I attached screenies of the MetroPCS Apn settings if anyone needs them
So it appears in your screenshots that the apn did fix mobile data, right?
I'm pretty sure the screen rotation issue is in the kernel somewhere. I'm looking into it and waiting to hear back from someone else who might have an idea on what to look for.

Try downloading and installing GPS Test by Chartcross. Run it and give it a few moments to find satellites and your location. It should narrow it down to several feet. Now try your maps and weather.

*** If you are getting errors playing Media Files or are seeing multiples of the same image or Grey items. This is "Ghosting", for some reason(what/why this is is unknown to me). The Fix:
Go to Settings/Apps/All/scroll down to Media Storage, and Clear Data. Reboot, and Scan your media again. Depending how much you have will determine how long it takes. This will happen again when rebooting, maybe not the first or second reboot, but it'll happen again

Great bit of info put together by unit_vector
unit_vector said:
I have consolidated some information regarding frequent issues with the most recent nightly releases. Hopefully someone finds this useful, since I've dealt with most of them myself and I see someone ask about these things daily. If any of the info here is wrong or misleading please don't hesitate to correct me (just kidding, I know you won't)
GPS
-When the option was added to use an external GPS it broke the default source to be undefined. Go to "System Settings-> Location Services-> GPS Source" and make sure "Use Internal GPS" is selected.
-Some other update changed something with the permissions of the location services settings. Uncheck and recheck all the options on the above screen to force it to ask for the proper permissions again.
4G LTE/Wireless Data
-Currently you need to reboot after installing for the first time or upgrading to a new nightly in order to get any data signal.
-Make sure you are aware of the difference between the service providers' terminology and the "real"/CM terminology (AT&T 4G is actually HSPA+, AT&T 4G LTE is actually 4G).
-Go to "System Settings->More->Mobile networks" and make sure LTE is selected under Network Mode.
-Go to "System Settings->More->Mobile networks->Access Point Names" and verify versus known good LTE APN settings.
-You may have lost your IMEI. "Check System Settings->About Phone->Status". If your IMEI shows 0 you may have to follow the instructions in the IMEI recovery thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1801997. After restoring your IMEI you may still need to do additional steps to restore LTE. To avoid this headache back up your IMEI before you lose it using the above thread. Make sure you try just rebooting first to see if that fixes the missing IMEI.
Wi-Fi
-Some people report problems with Wi-Fi signal or connection. Try going to "System Settings->Wi-Fi->Menu/Advanced" and un-check "Avoid Poor Connections".
Volume/Sound Problems
-Audio drivers are currently a work-in-progress. Updates are still coming all the time.
-If you have no sound try turning the volume all the way down then up again for alarms, calls, notification, etc.
-Try re-selecting your ring tones in the app or clearing cache and/or data for that app.
-Call volume is known to be a bit loud now.
-There seems to be an issue with Google Now voice recognition mic volume. Try talking in to the noise cancellation mic (top).
-If your phone is not speaking Google Now results or street names in Navigation properly make sure you are using English (US) in the language settings (other languages/nationalities are currently not supported).
Camera/Gallery
-Swipe to gallery feature was "broken" by the addition of pinch to zoom. To get it to work swipe outside of image and buttons (in the grey area). **Reverted and reportedly fixed in 9/10**
-There is currently no option to store to external SD (yet).
-The built in gallery does not sync to Picasa. This is a known bug.
Battery Life
-Battery calibration is wiped after first installing or upgrading. Wait a full cycle before trusting percent reported.
-Install BBS http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1179809 to track alarms and wake locks.
-Battery use after clearing caches after upgrading is high. Wait til it is finished rebuilding before gauging drain.
-Other kernels give more control over battery and performance. You can try those but don't report any other bugs here if you do.
Screen Flicker
-Has improved recently but can be seen occasionally, particularly with 3rd party keyboards or graphics intensive apps.
-Going to "System Settings->Developer Options" and choosing "Disable HW Overlays" fixes the flicker at the expense of performance.
USB Storage
-There is no UMS (Generic USB Mass Storage) mode by default on our phones. You may need to install MTP drivers or a different OS that supports it. There are apps http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1711009 that allow UMS access but there are drawbacks.
-If you followed any of the procedures in the IMEI thread and did not properly revert to MTP mode you may need to do so before being able to access your storage via USB.
Home button wake
-Going to System "Settings->Performance->Processor" and increasing the minimum CPU frequency from 384 to 486 is reported to fix it.
64GB+ SD Cards
-CM will not directly support the exFAT format due to licensing restrictions
-You can format as FAT32 (with the restriction of not being able to have files over 4GB each)
-Not sure if it is supported at the moment, but in the future you should be able to format as ext (fixes the 4GB file problem, but makes the card unreadable by Windows without special tools)
Anything gapps related involving non-recommended gapps
-For example problems with text messaging when using inverted gapps
-Use recommended gapps.
Anything system related involving non-CM kernels
-Use the default kernel.
Installing/Upgrading
When updating from Nightlies MAKE SURE you are downloading the CM10 zip file. The CM9 weekly files show up in the same list.
The M flagged zip files are the same as every other nightly, except care is taken in the days/week before releasing the M edition to not introduce any new features into Nightlies that might break the system. This means that if you flash only the M files you are less likely to run into "show-stopping" bugs. After the M edition is released developers will continue adding new features to the Nightlies that may or may not result in instability.
The recommended nightly upgrade procedure should be:
-Backup/Nandroid
-Format /system (under Mounts and Storage)
-Wipe cache
-Wipe Dalvik cache (under Advanced)
-Install Nightly ROM zip
-Install gapps zip
-Reboot System
You may be able to get away with only:
-Backup/Nandroid (not technically required, but you're a crazy-pants if you don't)
-Wipe cache (It looks like dalvik-cache is included in the /cache partition on our phones - it isn't for all phones - so a /cache wipe should cover Dalvik as well. I'm no expert though, so don't take my word for it if you have problems NOT wiping Dalvik cache specifically)
-Install Nightly Rom zip
-Reboot System
Apps Force Closing/Other Strange Behaviour That Other People Are Not Reporting
-Try running Fix Permissions from recovery
-After backing up, try a Factory Reset combined with the above flashing steps to see if the error occurs on a clean system (Factory Reset does not wipe/format your SD card(s), only erases all apps and app/system data
Anything system related involving non-CM kernels
-Use the default kernel.

First of all, thank you for trying to do this! I don't think that the herd will care and they will continue to clog up the development thread, but you're trying and that definitely counts for something.
Do we have a current bug list that isn't just a bunch of "me too!" and random one off bugs? I'm talking about things that are consistent across all users who have properly installed? I think a well maintained list would be beneficial to the CM team (read Steve) rather than having them cull through the steaming 100 page pile of pure fetid "awesome".
I've read that entire thread up to this point but I've been trying not to engage too much due to the state of things over there. But here is my small and likely incomplete list of verified bugs at this point. Please help add to it with valid citations. I don't want to put things onto the list until they are verified by at least two users who can state the issue clearly in a post. I will try to keep this updated but please feel free to rip it away from me and keep it in tip-top shape.
Tethering does not work in either WPA or WPA2 modes (but it does work in insecure mode) [1, 2, 3, 4]
A2DP isn't working [1]
Camera focusing bug (that is known and is going to be fixed upon next build) [1]
LTE in Canada seems to be a common complaint. [1,2]
MTP not working for Mac users. [1,2]
Picasa sync doesn't work [1]
So since this is the Q&A thread, I have two questions:
What bugs have I missed? (please provide a single post link as a citation)
Whats the best way to find out when/where to find the latest gapps builds? I always find them from fellow forum users posts but it seems to me that they have to originate somewhere and I'm less than clear on that process.

Can you help quantify this? Its been working just fine for me. Can you run GPS Test to determine how many satellites are in view, in use, and your accuracy? Beyond that, can you elaborate what symptoms you are referring to by it "worse"?

Well for some reason. It takes a while to get a signal after a reboot. I know on stock or aokp it wasn't like that. I'd get a lock in 3-5 seconds. Any ways. once it gets a lock. Like 10 seconds later it loses signal and it comes back almost instantly.
Also, Even when I use the navigation app it freezes for a couple of seconds and the it goes back to normal. It's weird. I tried using gps fix but it doesn't fix the problem.
Edit: just ran gps test. I have 17 satellites in view and only using 9-10.

Well I don't want to sound too callous here, but 10 seconds is plenty fine for a lock. I guess I'm more patient than some folks, but at this point, it seems like a very minor issue. I do wonder if it was even "locking" in AOKP or if they just institute a lower threshold of accuracy to be designated as "locked". (Pure conjecture on my part, I could be wrong).
Using 9-10 is absolutely normal. Seeing as how you have a 12 channel receiver in your device, using 10 is great. You should be accurate to within 10 feet within a few seconds of starting up. Also, taking longer after a reboot is normal. There are a lot of different start-up "states" for GPS based on how long since the last lock and things like the phone being power cycled.
I've noticed on the 7/20 build, the play store link in the top right corner of the app drawer doesn't work. You have to actually select the shortcut from the app list.
EDIT: Seems to be an intermittent thing.
Are there plans to return universal search?
Has anyone found a way to transfer data (contacts, call log, mms log, data usage, etc.) from stock rom to CM10? Whenever I try (through TB) to restore data, i get an error saying "android.process.acore has stopped working". I did a search and made sure the "restore system data" option was selected in preferences both when i backed up and when I restored. I've also tried AppExtractor but that has done nothing. I've tried turning off auto sync and removing google account prior to restoring, all to no avail.

The link in the top right of the app drawer works just fine for me. On the 7/20 build. Which gapps did you install? I'm using the 7/16 build of them.
All I can say is that the GPS, for me at least, is AMAZING, actually even better than stock

Well that's why I compared it to aokp and stock. Even after a cold boot the gps still came on and locked within 4 seconds. On cm10 its much longer. And like I said alot of times it can't keep a lock. It loses the signal and gets it back 10-15s later. It's nothing serious. Just annoying since I use it very often (taxi driver)

anybody faced these?
malaeum said:
First of all, thank you for trying to do this! I don't think that the herd will care and they will continue to clog up the development thread, but you're trying and that definitely counts for something.
Do we have a current bug list that isn't just a bunch of "me too!" and random one off bugs? I'm talking about things that are consistent across all users who have properly installed? I think a well maintained list would be beneficial to the CM team (read Steve) rather than having them cull through the steaming 100 page pile of pure fetid "awesome".
I've read that entire thread up to this point but I've been trying not to engage too much due to the state of things over there. But here is my small and likely incomplete list of verified bugs at this point. Please help add to it with valid citations. I don't want to put things onto the list until they are verified by at least two users who can state the issue clearly in a post. I will try to keep this updated but please feel free to rip it away from me and keep it in tip-top shape.
Tethering does not work in either WPA or WPA2 modes (but it does work in insecure mode) [1, 2, 3, 4]
A2DP isn't working [1]
Camera focusing bug (that is known and is going to be fixed upon next build) [1]
LTE in Canada seems to be a common complaint. [1,2]
MTP not working for Mac users. [1,2]
Picasa sync doesn't work [1]
So since this is the Q&A thread, I have two questions:
What bugs have I missed? (please provide a single post link as a citation)
Whats the best way to find out when/where to find the latest gapps builds? I always find them from fellow forum users posts but it seems to me that they have to originate somewhere and I'm less than clear on that process.

1) auto focus and camera itself works perfect for me, after applying the flashable fix though, however it force closes if you try to change the picture size now and then
2) phone app force closed a couple of times, once on MTP connection and once with speaker on.
3) tethering work for me.
4) lockscreen custom background dosent work if you have a different homescreen wallpaper
5) soft key lights turn off if you try to change the screen brightness(changing the brightness to auto will fix it though)
6) volume rocker work perfect
I am om CM10_20120720 build, Gapps_20120720, flashed with CWM 5.8.4.5. I had quite good number of unsuccessful attempts when tried to flash with CWM 5.8.4.7 (ext sd dosent show up in CWM recovery)
Also restored to stock rom with a nandroid on all CM10 builds

Having a few issues tho:
1) camera is borked (app was erroring then disappeared?)
2) gmail doesnt sync properly (worked fine with stock rom)

PLEASE make sure to thank task650 for his dedication to this body of work
Thanks to all the members of XDA and Task's threads, credit goes to everyone as I have just taken info from users input and located it to one place. Thanks to you all for helping us learn everyday
.
Please read the OP in dev thread carefully on latest update, it has some very important info in it.
BUG REPORTING: Very minimal at least read the thread from the date of the update you are running. If you see a couple posts about a paticular bug then consider it noted by devs. They do read these. Remember if they can't duplicate the problem then they sure as hell can't fix it. IF you are going to report a bug - include the necessary information or it will be ignored.
thanks for understanding that after a few bug reports are made and i acknowledge them, that the unecessary 100 that follow are ridiculous. Task
Always read the OP. If it says full wipe then do a full wipe. If you don't follow the OP please don't post problems. This isn't helping anyone. Full wipe isn't a big deal. You can backup and restore your launcher settings with Nova or Apex, Backup and restore apps with Titanium backup(pro has the batch feature and is worth the money) and you can backup and restore most of your AOKP settings with AOKP backup. ***AOKP BACKUP can cause issues when restoring. If you have errors after restoring with AOKP BACKUP try the process again without using it.*** Using these three methods takes about 10 minutes. This is barebones backup/restore. If you have a lot of tweaks and kernel changes it will take you longer. So as stated in the OP if you have problems do a full wipe before you report any problems.
Read the change log. This will answer a multitude of questions.
This is for the AT&T version of the Galaxy S3. This rom may work on different variants of the phone, but as for now Task and Ktoon do not have the time to support other versions. If you are on a different version of the Galaxy S3 and report a bug please understand that this ROM is AT&T supported only.
This is just to help Task and Ktoon keep repetitive questions out of there thread. If any information in this post conflicts with Task and Ktoon's OP or ROM thread then ALWAYS follow their information first.
Below is am alphabetized list of FAQ, bugs, known issues and tips.
This is just a collection of answers that have been posted in the thread. Use as a guideline not as a rule of thumb. Always follow the OP.

msm_otg wakelock usually happens while rebooting and plugged into a power source - remove power source and reboot while on battery only should fix this.
Disable touch sounds to avoid sound weirdness while listening to music or on the phone.
Phone freezing/black screen-try raising your minimum speed or just revert to a rom before the new 3.4 kernel was implemented. Try the 3-13 build.
cLock weather not updating - Either yahoo API change or a weather station down.
AOKP BACKUP
AOKP BACKUP is a great app for restoring most of your settings, but may cause some issues.
Third party app not working properly
This ROM has nothing to to with 3rd party apps. You would need to contact the developer of those respective apps to get support for them. You also need to understand that not all apps support the Jellybean 4.2.x OS yet and need to be updated by the developers in order for them to work correctly. task650
Trying clearing data for that app
If you used TIBU to restore app, clear cache and data and delete the app and download it fresh from the Playstore.
Some people are reporting third party camera apps not working correctly and/or causing stock camera problems. This could be true for a number of third party apps that could be conflicting with system apps.
If any given app/process is giving you problems or fc'ing- try clearning data for that app and/or fixing permissions.
Make sure you have the app updated to latest version. The existing version may not be up to date for 4.2.X or whatever version the ROM is.
If your app won't sync or no notifications - try logging out and then back in. Or try deleting the account and add it back.
2g toggle
If you can't get your phone to wake up-
Hold down the power button for up to 30 seconds - it will restart. You should not have to pull the battery after using this step to restart. It does work and may take a few times for you to get it right.
BATTERY LIFE:
We all at some time have been proud or dissapointed in our battery life, but please keep battery stats out of the development thread.There are threads for this and the Development threads are not one of them.
There are way too many variables that influence battery life to be concerned with in a DEVELOPMENT thread. This has been stated daily by the Developers.
Install betterbatterystats and figure out if the problem could be something causing a wake lock keeping your phone from entering deep sleep.
Go here to discuss BBS wakelocks and read the how to in the app. It is very beneficial.
It is a known fact that it may take a couple charge cycles for your battery to calibrate and settle in. Also it should be known that these batteries do not need the data cleared for them. THEY WILL CALIBRATE THEMSELVES.
If you are getting over 3 hours of on screen time on a single charge that is nothing to complain about. IF you do see a post in the development thread about battery life, ignore it. Once again, no one uses their phone the same and their set up is probably not going to influence your phone significantly.
Sometimes an app or process is just sticking and a reboot will help.
You could possibly see battery showing charging when not plugged in or a dramatic change after a reboot. Once again this is just the battery fuel gauge recalibrating itself. This is normal.

For some good tips on fixing battery drain go HERE.
Bugs/reporting
Bug reports should contain a logcat or information that would help. saying this doesn't work or this is happening doesn't help us at all and at that point belongs in Q&A. task 650
Some bugs are being reported by a few that Task, Ktoon and others are not seeing. Follow avidmovies notes below on trouble shooting/comprehensive reflash and Task's suggestion above on weird sh!t. Stick to the basics and see if problem is there still - such as stay with kernel that is included with rom, skip restoring anything with titanium back up, other words just try the basics and if a certain app has been giving you problems download it from the market instead of TIBU and see if problem still persists. Some apps have been reported to make ROM features malfunction.
If you had a spontanious reboot, we need the file last_kmsg from the /proc folder.
If you have n FC on an app, thats when we want a logcat
Guide on how to logcat. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726238

If you do not have the latest update of this rom consider it unsupported. This is why they update- to get rid of the bugs that we may be having on older versions.
BUG REPORTING: Very minimal at least read the thread from the date of the update you are running. If you see a couple posts about a paticular bug then consider it noted by Task. He does read these. Remember if he can't duplicate the problem then they sure as hell can't fix it. Bug reports without a logcat or a random reboots without a last_kmsg will be ignored.
"Thanks for understanding that after a few bug reports are made and I acknowledge them, that the unecessary 100 that follow are ridiculous." Task
Just follow this practice and you will be golden.
If you see a bug reported once - go ahead and report it again with a LOGCAT or proper info.
If you see a bug reported twice and you are seeing it consider it a known bug and the following will probably happen-
Task has the same problem or enough info from LOGCATS provided and will fix it or
Task is not having the problem and can do nothing about it unless a LOGCAT is given
Point here is Task can't fix problems with out the proper information.
"Be patient for the galaxy s3 settings to be fixed." Task --- Some stuff is taken out, left out or temporarily removed for good reason.
If you are going to report a problem, include some details. Kernel, UC/OC, circumstances, etc...
Once again TALKING about a bug without the proper info including either LOGCAT or last_kmsg is nothing but A WASTE OF TIME.
Read THIS posted in the development thread by Task.
HOW_TO_PROPERLY_REPORT_A_BUG
BLUETOOTH
If your phone switches to vibrate when you connect to bluetooth. Check here
Settings>Rom Control > Bluetooth A2DP connected action
No action
Vibrate Mode
Silent Mode
Benchmark Scores
The devs have stated many times that these scores are BS. If you run a benchmark and want to discuss it, there are threads that are purely for discussing these random numbers. The development thread is not one of them.
CAPACITIVE BUTTONS
For instructions to disable capacitive buttons go HERE!
CM10
This is not a CM10 ROM nor is it based off one.
Comparing the two makes no sense. This is based off Google as is CM10. Other than that there is NO comparison. Please understand this. If something works or is in one rom doesn't mean it will work or is in the other.
If you want to compare CM10 and Tasks AOKP take it to the general section. A development thread is not the place for it.
CRT animation
If you put your animation speeds below .75 CRT will not work.
There are now toggles and more options for CRT - familiarize yourself with them.
DATA CONNECTION/SPEED
If you have no data after a flash, dont freak out.
Try rebooting
Make sure you have data toggle turned on.
Try toggling airplane mode
Check APNs.
If you have no APN's make sure your SIM card is in good and reboot.
If SIM card is not detected during a reboot - your APN'S will/could be blank.
DO you have your IMEI intact?
DATA SPEED PROBLEMS
Data speed can vary greatly depending on user traffic and distance from towers.
SpeedTest app is not a reliable source of accurate data speed
The ATT APN is being phased out by ATT. You need to use the ATT LTE APN - task650
Just because your stock ROM said 4G doesn't mean you actually had 4G/LTE. ATT roms report H/H+ as 4G where as this ROM gives you true data connection.
DATA Symbols
I flicker between H and 3g. AOKP shows true connection where as stock roms just show 4G. Also this rom controls data connection and kicks it down to 3G when not using data and kicks to H+ when you need it. This is a feature to save battery.
Blue symbols means you are connected to google servers - gray means you are not
Symbol equals>
G=GPRS
E=EDGE
3G=3G
H=HSDPA/HSPA
H+=HSDPA+/HSPA+
4G=LTE
You must have I337 recovery to flash this ROM or you will get error 7. task650
This is usually caused by a corrupt download, or bad file signature. Re-downloading (or re-signing) the ZIP will usually fix this - check MD5 sum.
Update or try a different recovery.
Remove the build assert in the updater-script.

there is a known issue with apps being unable to write to the external card. Symptoms: you may be able to copy files to the external card or create folders using a file explorer, but apps (TiBu, Dolphin browser, camera, others can't use the external card as a save location, and you can't change properties or delete files/folders. You can still read files (i.e. restore existing backups from TiBu, play music) without problems. This is an issue with the JB build and they're working on fixing it.

Redownload rom and gapps
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe dalvik and cache
In mounts and storage select Format System
Then flash rom and gapps
Reboot task650
Gapps
You must flash Gapps AFTER every flash of the ROM.
Use the Gapps in Task's OP or don't bring any problems caused from other gapps to his ROM thread.
Sometimes you may have to flash Gapps twice - they have been notorious for not taking the first time.
Read the OP to see if a new version of gapps is required.
Google now
Phone language has to be set to english for google now to work.
My google apps are working correctly. If it was just the play store force closing all you would've needed to do is reflash gapps. gapps is notorious for not taking the first try. but you always have to flash gapps after a rom install and make sure to clear cache and dalvik. no issues should occur if those steps are taken. Task. Make sure you are using the correct gapps!
Task and Ktoon do not support google wallet. There are fixes available but don't ask Task or Ktoon to fix it.
You can't remove the google search bar with default launcher but you can with nova or apex.
GPS
GPS not working correctly isn't always the ROMS fault. Sometimes its the satellites.
Make sure you have internel GPS selected.
Try flashing original stock and then come back to this rom if you have flashed a TW based rom.
To change your number of home screens
You must use Apex or Nova launcher, possibly some other third party launcher. But the default launcher will not allow you to do this.
You must use Nova or a third paryt home screen to disable search bar.
If you flash other things like inverted gapps or change things from the original packaging of this rom and something goes wrong or doesnt work. Think about it. We cannot support those issues here. This thread is for this rom and gapps that are posted in the OP. Thanks. task650
Inverted gapps are awesome but not supported in Tasks thread.
If you are using inverted gapps and having problems - full wipe and reinstall rom and gapps in the OP and see if problem still persists.
Go here for support of inverted gapps. > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2138156
IRC
Task has started and IRC channel for his rom. ##Task650_AOKP
KERNEL:
If you are using any kernel other than the one packaged with this ROM please post questions and problems to the appropiate kernel thread.
you need to understand that all devices are NOT created equally. one kernel might work awesome on my device while at the same time it may work horrible on your device. so to say that Ktoonsez says it works awesome, that means it works awesome for him. It has nothing to do with how it will work for you. If the symptoms that you're talking about are happening with that kernel it's obvious that your device doesn't like that kernel. Easy fix. Use a different one.
If you are using Ktoon's awesome kernel and experiencing problems, try reflashing with the kernel included with this ROM and see if the problem still persists. This may help understanding if the problem is kernel or ROM related and will help benefit development of both.You can full wipe and reflash rom and gapps to be back on original kernel.
If you wish to run another kernel other than what comes with the rom, Task suggest loading rom with included kernel, set up phone, then flash the kernel you want.
Governor/IO scheduler
Change these in performace control in settings
If you do not tick set on boot they will revert upon reboot.
This is a safety check in so you can try settings out before you make them permanent.
Last report in Feb is that Task uses row and interactive as his settings.
LED
LED charging works exactly as it should.
0%-%10 = Red
%10-%90 = Yellow
%90-100 = Green
You can't change the colors for LED Charging unless you download the source and rewrite that portion of code.
You can only change the colors for the Notification LEDs not battery indication color.
Make sure you have "pulse notification light" checked - uncheck to turn LED notification off.
Some colors will not work. Test LED color before relying on it.

If you don't have LTE in your area it's not draining your battery.
AT&T is phasing out the old non LTE apn either way so we will all be using the same "LTE" apn. Network mode has nothing to do with you if your on AT&T service. That's only for the Canadians.

RIBBONS
If you can't delete the icons in ribbons just use the menu and reset them.
Ringtones
There is not a repeating ringtone on this rom(AOKP). Get a longer ringtone if you want more notification.
More RomControl Settings added
It will take some time to get all the rom control settings back in, be patient.
If you see a major update as in a new kernel, some items will take some time to be added back.
ROM CONTROL: This is a very customizable rom, please spend some time and learn the many features it has.
ROM MANAGER APP
It is advised not to use ROM MANAGER APP. Notorious for causing problems.
SCREEN SHOT
To take a screen shot hold volume down and power button at the same time.
You can add screenshot option to the power menu.
Changing the color of Signal and wifi only changes the color in text mode.
SMS/MMS
MMS not downloading
Some suggestions offered that have helped people with MMS.
Add "hipri" in your APN type and save. This has been reported by several people to help.
This is being seen on several phones with different roms and even iphones. Call ATT.
Try auto retrieve on.
Set Authentication type to "none"
In text client make sure "auto retrieve" is checked in all boxes.
This ROM does not having a problems sending MMS. It is most likely an ATT problem. But you can double check your APN to make sure it is not on your end.
If you are using a third party app to SMS/MMS it is not supported by Task.
If you want to use the quick reply option make sure you have it checked in settings.
SOUND/VOLUME
If you are not getting sounds on something check your quite hours.
Make sure you have not accidentally toggled silent/vibrate.
Take a look at THIS in the play store. It's awesome.
Swag Pink hat - It's a joke. Either you have it or you don't. As cool as Task makes this phone he can't actually help you in this area.
Themes
If you are having graphical glitches and using a theme, try removing any theme and see if it still persists.
CM10 themes should work on this rom but if you encounter problems do not bring it to the thread.
Go HERE for themes.
Toggles
Are located in ROM control
The toggle for DATA is called SIGNAL
TOUCHWIZ FEATURES:
This is an AOSP rom, touchwiz(sammy) features are not incorporated into this rom. Reason you ask? Framework!!!
Chances are something you want from TW is probably in the app store.
Voicemail number missing. Use your call forwarding number.
Try this for ATT visual voicemail.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641981
If your wifi won't stay on while phone goes to sleep check settings to keep on during sleep.
If your phone sometimes drops wifi check settings and uncheck avoid poor connections.
These are found under advanced settings in WIFI.
If you are having problems connecting or using tethering try changing your SSID and try unsecured.
Most of the time lack of WIFI connectivity is usually cause by router settings or router itself.
ROGERS WIFI TETHER
Tether will not work on 4G/LTE unless you use a third party app.
Task can not test/fix since he obviously doesn't have a rogers phone.
Changing the color of WIFI/signal colors only changes the color in text mode.

Troubleshooting/Comprehensive Re-flash
(Optional, but recommended) Back up any apps you may want restored (Titanium Backup's batch mode (a PROfeature) makes this painless! Set TB batch filters to User type only. DO NOT RESTORE SYSTEM DATA! Hell, don't even back them up.
Re-download the latest version of the ROM and Google Apps (even if it's the same version you have) from the OP. It's possible you may have a corrupted download.
Reboot into recovery. Follow the process below exactly, and there should be no NEED for a kernel cleaning script.
Wipe cache partition
Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache
(Optional, but recommended) Mounts and Storage > mount /system & /data
Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard (wherever you saved the download) > Flash [ROM] AOKP Task & Ktoonsez Run a Train (version)(TGFY ONLINE!!!).zip
(Optional, but recommended) Mounts and Storage > mount /system & /data
Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard (wherever you saved the download) > Flash gapps-jb-(version)-signed.zip Jelly bean version only
Reboot
PS. Sometimes all that is needed is a reboot again. Doesn't hurt to try it.
Test ROM, BEFORE restoring *any data* (if you did a full reset). DON'T RESTORE SYSTEM DATA! You have been told twice!
Fixing permissions in CWM/TWRP helps fix MANY *random* glitches.
If you still encounter problems, do a FULL reset ( Recovery > Wipe data/factory reset) & follow the steps again. THEN, you can report issues!
You may have to redownload ROM and/or Gapps. Sometimes you can get a corrupt download that will cause issues. It happens.

You could pull the stock boot animation from a stock rom and replace the boot animation Task includes. Not sure why anyone would want to do that, but hey, to each their own.

Tried it, didn't work not sure why....get black screen after the samsung galaxy, which is the reason I posted here because I am not familiar with AOKP/AOSP..first one I have actually stick to for more than an hour. And Lol, because I actually like it? Why I want to do that.
Thx for the help though, will figure it out after work.
Expanded Notification
I will ask the question here, I have been looking but my google-fu is not serving me well, I really enjoy this ROM and I have tried many others(read ALL) and Task always brings me back. I also know Task doesn't do request, so I wont go down that road. I am wondering if any of you are aware of a way to have the notification behavior as always expanded. A few ROMS (AOSP based) have the option
"Notifications Behavior (Always Expand, Never Expand, Normal, Old Style" but its not found in AOKP. Anyone aware of a way or ran across a way \ to implement it? Thanks, I will continue looking.
Problem: no data connectivity, only voice, in one area of my town. By that I mean, I have 4 full signal bars, but they're gray. No data connection indicator of any kind.
Scenario: my wife and I both have the 6/18 build on our tmo gs4's. When I enter a particular area of town, the central part, that normally has 4g+, both of our data dies and I only have voice and sms. The weird part is, when I'm running another rom like something stock based or CM10, this doesn't happen. I have not changed my modem, still on MDB.
I called tmo and they aren't seeing any service problems in that area. I'm wondering if maybe there's some type of tweak or data setting that might be causing this. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? I'm willing to change some settings or test something.

Tmo called me back today and said there's a problem with the tower. There we have it.
Anyone else not able to get past SGS4 boot screen on 6/24 build? Checked my MD5's, redownloaded, redownloaded, reinstalled, per Task's directions.
Nothing. Help.
Update: Fresh install 6/18 build with no problems.

Tell Samsung to either make the app open source (they won't) or tell them to add AOSP support (they wont). In other words, it an app solely made for touchwhiz based ROMs.

I understand your rules, your way. No problem with that. People clearly can't read, and unfortunately the number of those people seems to grow daily. Is there a way for you to release builds in a closed thread and continue to leave the Q&A open? Don't ditch us just yet Task!
[ROM][LEAK #2] T-Mobile 4.3 - Build UVUEMJC - PureStock & Deodexed - Knox & CiQ Free
T999 4.3 Leak OFFICIAL
Build UVUEMJC
Well, as most of you by know have realized, the Official 4.3 has been released! As it turns out, I was correct that the Leak#2 was to become our official build! What this means is that the Roms built from the leak and the Roms built from stock will essentially be identical. I have decided to build one from the official since I know most of you would prefer it that way anyway. I will keep the leaked versions posted for now as well, in case anyone wants to use them. Should you use one over the other? I doubt it. Ill say to use the rom built from official source though, simply because it is official.
Some of you will have already updated by flashing the official firmware via Odin, or by receiving the OTA update. Some will have been lucky enough to come in later and found it not to be the best idea to update yet. Because of this I will be including instructions for each situation. It may seem a little confusing at first, but just take it at face value and don't try to read extra into it and you should do fine!
WARNING!!!
If you have NOT updated via the official firmware or OTA update, it is highly recommended that you do NOT do so at this time!
You can still run these roms and gain every advantage, with none of the problems!
Instead of flashing the full firmware or OTA, I recommend flashing the deodexed, Knox free build of this Rom for now. I believe it should be the perfect replacement for the official update if you just want to run stock rooted. It has been proven to run smooth, fast and stable! Many have reported it to be the best build to date for our S3, and personally, I agree!
Alternatively, please check out @saranhai's Rom, .::StockMOD ROM::. | TouchWiz 4.3 | Stock & Slim Versions | UVUEMJC as well. It uses mine as a base, but is a bit more customized.
Downloads
Based on Official Release
T999_Official_UVUEMJC_Deodexed_KnoxFree
Dev-Host Mirror
Installation
If you have already updated via OTA or Odin flashing the official firmware:
Flash the T999_Official_Deodexed Rom
Flash the slightly older MJ4 modem, IF YOU CHOOSE. This is not necessary though.
Enjoy and report back to me if WiFi and everything seems to be working ok.
If you have NOT updated to the official release yet:
Flash the T999_Official_Deodexed Rom
Flash the MJ2 ATT kernel
Flash your choice of the two modems in the OP.
Enjoy!
Based on the Leaked Build
Please thank @Prod1702 if you see him! Without his willingness, determination, and commitment to XDA, I would not be able to present you with this brand new build! He seriously stuck it through well beyond what I would've ever expected anyone to put up with! Please take a moment to go HERE and hit his Thanks button to show your appreciation! Without him, this rom, And MODEM, would be nonexistent in these forums!!!
:good: :highfive:
~~~
Although the previous leak proved to be amazingly stable, and this one appears to be no different, please remember this is after all, still a leaked test build of the 4.3 Touchwiz system! There may be new bugs, new features, better or worse performance, etc, etc.
I do have reason to believe this may in fact become our official build, or if it does not, it is very close to it! I will try to explain more on this and what I expect to see a bit later. But I have been running this build for most of the day, and am seeing similar results as before where battery and stability are concerned!
So with no further ado, here is your latest leaked build of 4.3 Touchwiz! Note, these are complete T-Mobile builds, but I have had to continue using the AT&T insecure kernel due to issues pulling/dumping the one that goes with this build. As before, I have seen absolutely no problems arise from this.
T999_4.3_MJC_PureStock
Dev-Host Mirror
This is 100% the full MJC build (except kernel). I have not removed Knox or anything, and I have left it Odexed. Zero changes! This is more for devs or anyone who wants to dig into how Knox works and is affecting things. Or for those who just want to see what the full stock build is like. Understand that Knox and seLinux do interfere with root. So if you have problems with your root apps, I suggest you try the deodexed, Knox Free, build below. (I will provide a separate secure kernel later for flashing for those who want to set seLinux to enforcing.)
T999_4.3_UVUEMJC_Full_deodexed_KnoxFree
Dev-Host Mirror
This ROM has NOT been debloated. Only Knox, CIQ, and SysScope have been removed. Deodexed, full build.
Installation
If you are currently on a Non-Touchwiz Rom, you will have to Factory Reset
Because this is a Leaked build, I suggest starting clean. Preferably with already up to date MD5 firmware.
If you are not, Please Odin flash the MD5 root66 firmware. (Link to thread in my signature).
Download your choice of ROM, and the MJC (or MJ4) Modem.
Flash in CWM/TWRP Recovery exactly as you would with any other Rom or Modem!
Thats it! Nothing special!

Huge Thanks to @Prod1702 for leaking this build, and for all of his work and effort working with me to get what we need off of the phone!
Thanks is also highly deserved by these guys as well!
@TheLastSidekick, for his friendship, advice and becoming our newest RC!
@saranhai, for being such a cool guy to team up with on this stuff, and for all of his fantastic work and advice!
@loserskater and everyone responsible for the AT&T leaks for beating me to the release of a leak! Because without them ours is not possible!
@stratatak7 for his work on the AT&T kernel, without which we would have NO T-Mobile leaked roms!
@upndwn4par also for his work on the AT&T kernel, without which we would have NO T-Mobile leaked roms!
And a big Thanks to all of the members who have taken the time to try out this and all of Team Inferno's roms and report on your results!!!

CHANGELOG
This is a copy/paste of the changelog as listed at SamMobile.com for the I9300 update. Most likely, we will see the same features and improvements, but this is by no means guaranteed. Also, and once again, I remind you that what we have are LEAKED test builds. They may not be complete, so if something is not in the leak, it does not mean it will or will not be in the official release!
- GALAXY GEAR Support
- TRIM Support (Makes the device much faster)
- ANT+ Support
- Core UI elements updated to the ones on the Galaxy S4 (Galaxy S4′s theme all over)
- New Samsung Keyboard
- GPU drivers have been updated (Higher GPU benchmark scores)
- New Lockscreen: Multiple Widgets, improved ripple effect than Android 4.1.2, ability to change clock size and set a personal message
- New Screen modes (From S4): Adapt Display and Professional Photo
- Daydream
- Driving mode
- Actionable notifications
- Move-to-SD-card feature
- New Camera mode : Sound and Shot
- New Additions in Notification Centre
- Completely revamped Settings UI (Tabbed interface – Exactly like the Galaxy S4)
- Implementation of Voice controls (Let’s you control various parts of the phone using voice commands – Galaxy S4 feature)
- New Samsung Apps: Calculator, Clock, Contacts, Gallery, Music
- Full screen Samsung apps
- New S-Voice (from Galaxy S4)
Known Bugs/Issues
Virtually nothing unexpected! You tell me what you find!
We have had only a few reports of the following:
Problems with dropped calls
Reboots/bootloops
Losing Root
Note: It appears that ALL 4.3 releases have now been delayed due to many problems with the I9300 rollout. Just about everything reported that led to this on the I9300 has not been observed with ours. Hopefully they won't delay ours much longer since it appears it is a very stable build for our models! No one has got the update as scheduled, so I don't expect us to either.
This leak is primarily for the T999 ONLY. You can flash to a T999L/N/V, but will have no mobile data connection.
Most who are not on a T-Mobile network have reported issues with the SIM card not being detected. (Needs Re-Verification)
You MUST flash the UVUEMJ4 Modem/Baseband. No others will work at this time. (Needs Re-Verification)
I suspect that some of the more random issues may be due to older firmware.
I recommend flashing the UVDMD5 firmware if you haven't already done so. Update via Recovery. Update via Odin.
Knox may prevent some root apps from keeping persistent root privledges.
If using a secure kernel, seLinux is set to "enforcing" and side by side with Knox, will make life Hell!!!
Suffers from the profile folder problems. /0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0 Every time you flash a 4.3 build, it will create a new /0 folder abovethe current one and will use this location by default. Manually copy /data/media/ to /data/media/0 after every flash.
Remember this is a NEW leak/build. If you experience a problem you had on the last one, please report again.
Let me know if I have left anything out or if you find anything not yet mentioned.
A note about reporting bugs
If you dirty flashed (did not factory reset), or if you have applied any mods, please do not report bugs. Reflash clean and test first. If you discover a bug caused by a mod, please let us know, but flash clean so you can be sure if it is the Rom, the mod, or something else entirely.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I flash this to my T999L, T999N, T999V?
Well, sort of. You can flash it if you want to see what 4.3 will be like. But without a 4.3 modem for your specific device model you will not have any Mobile Data connection at all.
Can I flash the MJ4/MJC Modem to my T999L, T999N, T999V?
In short......NO!
Will the MJ4/MJC Modem work on older ROMs/Firmware? e.g. 4.1.2 based Rom with MJ4 Modem.
YES! But ONLY if you have the T999!
Why do I get a notification that root access has been blocked?
Welcome to Fort KNOX! If this is a problem you cannot live with, either remove Knox from the Odexed build, or just flash the deodexed ROM. If you are running a ROM which has seLinux enforcing (secure kernel) and Knox installed....well....have fun!? This combination is a PITA to deal with and will prevent nearly all apps attempts at root access! I do NOT recommend this configuration!!!
I just flashed X ROM and now all of the data on internal sdcard is gone! What happened to my data?!?!?
Don't Panic! It did NOT delete any data! The ROM created a new /0 (zero) folder and by default connects to this as the root of your internal sdcard. You need to copy your data from /data/media to /data/media/0/. You will find all of your files are still intact, they just were not being seen because of the messed up folder structure.

Keep in mind that my battery is over a year and a half old! But this is 19-20 hours on battery, using 5.5 hours of screen on time (a good bit was set at fairly high brightness), and as usual, using TapaTalk which isnt really the most gentle app when it comes to battery use!
Conclusions So Far
As it was with our first leaked build, the rom itself seems to be surprisingly excellent on battery! The Day 1 battery once again helps to showcase the ROM's battery use, on its own (plus Tapatalk). So if you were to flash it and make good use of Settings, you should see similar results. I find it very reassuring to see how consistent the battery cycles have been so far!
Mods & Extras
Mods & Extras
T999_4.3_MJC_Docs_deodexed3.zip
This is the ROM I was personally using before I bricked my device. It does not have any major modifications, just some, perhaps interesting debloating. I was not totally finished with it, but thought I would share in case anyone else wanted something like it. Basically, I was removing things I do not use, but that could potentially be running in the background, using resources and battery. A couple of examples of this would be Googles Backup Transport service, Contacts and Calendar sync, Accuweather, NameID, etc, etc, etc. I will try to post a full list later. I know much of this could be debated, but it seemed to be just as stable as before, and everything I made use of still worked.
Its kind of a different take on the debloating of a rom.

Note: I am not giving credit on most of these simply because many can be found all over the place! I have been collecting them myself for a while now, just for my own use, and the ones I did not discover on my own, I cannot remember where I originally saw. If this is a problem, or you feel you deserve credit for a particular discovery, please let me know and I will be happy to work it out with you. These are very easy for anyone to find on their own though. I have quite a few more that I might post at another time.
I do want to give credit to @evil1art for finding the easy way to add the extra Quick Panel toggles.
Very nice. Thank you for your contribution.
Thank you Doc for your great work :thumbup:

I Love This Stuff! And I am just happy that I got the opportunity to be the one of the ones to work on it!
Couple things real quick. This has so far been great for my own use, but I have not done much to stress it. Been mostly trying for a good baseline Day 1 battery report like I did for the first leak. So far it seems to be right on par with it.
I will get to updating posts 2-5 with more information later on. I will check back periodically to make sure nothing catastrophic happens, but aside from that I'm planning to spend some time with my daughter before bedtime since I get to have her an extra day for the holiday weekend! Once she's asleep Ill get back to work on the fun stuff!
Hope you guys enjoy it! And I hope you don't mind me keeping the leaks in separate threads. I felt it best for different builds since there will likely be different bugs and all. Just less confusing IMO. Ill note each OP of the existence of the other to make it easy to reference.
For now, have fun guys! And Thank You all for your patience!!! :good:
Thanks Doc. For all your time bringing all the new leaks. Will try this one as soon as its download.

Awesome work doc! Downloading it now to get it loaded up. MJ4 has been giving me steady battery life off charger for 11 he's and 1 hour screen on still at 80% so pretty happy about that.
Dirty flashed this over the previous leak. So far everything works great.

Nice work Doc!!
Thanks to you all for your kind words! I hope this one turns out as good as the last at a minimum, though I am cautiously tempted to say I think but is a bit better. Can't quite put my finger on it, and it may be placebo, but it does feel a bit better to me.
And for those interested, I believe the keyboard is fixed. Been trying for a while now to get it to bug out, but it hasn't yet. Bout to switch though. I just don't care much for it personally.

Bugs
FFC not working
Hot Restart causes wifi problems, & data. normal reboot fixes it.
Menu settings will not work. widgets and wallpers are fine. just put a settings widget on desktop or use pull down.
video recording is not working looks like it's not saving to sd.
What to do

Vinman, you da man! I'll give it a try in an hour or two. I'll be able to test data, but not phone or SMS/MMS since I'm on freedompop's service and all their voice/text is routed over data. Is this the only official kit-kat build? The only other one I've tried was Captain Throwback's build with spotty data.
Thanks again to all who worked on this!

hey fishgoon, ok kewl yeah check it out, data is fully working, but Im looking to get feed back on all bugs to see if we can correct them, Im aware of most of them but it will be good to compare with the members feed back.
as far as the the Rom this is the first that has been rebuilt with working data, and added tweeks,.
but as far as the first releases belive it or not it was a simple fix on the data which was pointed out to us.
but all is good now. I must have built this a zillion times. lol had one of my buddy from tn build it as well
we all went nuts to get the data flowing. I know @ Wambo did as well.
but now we can all breath a sigh of relief.
Much love to @captain Throwback, he got us all rolling. great work on the Recovery to.
ok enjoy.
Although my Evo doesn't have service, I have been running the Captain's original KirKat ROM on it for weeks and I'm deeply grateful for all the work you guys are doing.
Forgive my ignorance, but if fixing mobile data turned out to be a "small" thing, could this information be shared with preludedrew so he could work it into evervolv? Or has he just dropped support for Supersonic altogether?

The vendor files simply need to be pushed on github. The fixed was shared in one of the other threads.

Great work. Everything seems super smooth. Was able to run Mounts2SD with no problem to get some more room for apps. Also, I was able to do wireless tether using native tether feature and an open connection. However, I was unable to get wireless tether to work with encryption...not a big deal...I think it was also not working in the JB roms either. Overall, runs really really well. I don't listen to music over my phone much, so probably won't try viper audio out. I'll have a better idea once I get on my home wifi and load a bunch of apps on it. I think it's plenty stable to use as a daily driver unless I find a serious app compatibility. Has anyone tried GPS navigation with google maps yet?

After months, weeks, days and hundreds of hours of long & tedius work, I introduce the first properly ported Note 5 rom for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 4!!! With all of the current N5/S6 ports out there that have various major issues, I set out on a mission to conquer and masterfully port the Note 5 software version N920PVPS2AOK3. This has been a long hard journey to say the least. I have spent countless amounts of time on this and i'm quite confident that no other developer has taken as much time and devotion to a rom project as I have with this one. I guarantee there is no other Note 5 rom out there that operates and functions as flawless as this rom. Period. With great pride and a sense of accomplishment, I officially announce a new era of roms for the Sprint Note 4! (and possibly other variants in the future)
Before we get started, please take note: I do NOT give permission for anyone to use any portion of this rom in any other public rom projects. Period. My work here IS and should be considered THE authority of Note 5 ports without question. The proof is in the rom and it speaks for itself. Others will likely steal my work here and try to pass it off as their own work. I promise you that nobody would be able to port the N5 rom like this on their own in such short amount of time after this official release. I guarantee this will happen and I also guarantee that nobody else (aka rom chef/developer) here in the XDA Note 4 forums or any other tech site has contributed nor done any of the work & procedures to properly port their N5 roms. So be informed from this day forward that any future Note 5 roms that pop up here on XDA or elsewhere will most likely be using my work and formula without my permission or proper credit. Any other N5 based rom that is based on my work here that is approved by me WITH my permission will be stated as such in that rom thread's OP with a link to this official thread. If there is no credit given in the rom's OP it is being reproduced and shared WITHOUT my permission or approval.
WARNING!
This is a public warning to select individuals who are known to steal and "kang" other people's work. Do not even think about trying to copy or redistribute my roms or my work here! I WILL know if my rom/files are being used in other publicly shared rom projects. There is no way anyone can avoid me finding out. So don't make a fool of yourself in front of millions of XDA members around the world by trying to pull off an amazingly perfected N5 port rom as "your work" that you have downloaded and used without my approval or permission and place in your op that nobody has permission toy use "your" work. This is immature and flat out WRONG.. The way we do things here at XDA is very simple. Ask for permission to use other peoples' work and absolutely give them the credit that they truly deserve. However, due to the high number of "copycat" roms here on XDA I am publically announcing here and now that NOBODY has my permission to copy, mimic or reproduce the work in this rom or any of my future N5 ports. Period. I have been forced to make this decision by the actions of others.
Let's be respectful to one another and avoid you getting your reputation destroyed and XDA membership suspended or banned for these kind of immature actions. I absolutely WILL be watching along with many other people here at XDA. I will immediately report suspicious new rom threads once I have the information I need to verify that you stole my work. People are almost always willing to share their hard work with you if you just give them the credit they deserve. If this is beyond your way of thinking then you don't belong in this community and nobody will ever respect you or your work. That is NOT how the evolution of XDA developers works. Yes android is opensource and I understand all of that. That is not the point. The issue is moral and ethical and has nothing to do with opensource. You have been warned!
Now that's all out of the way let's get straight to business! First and foremost I want to Thank all of my friends and testers
here at XDA who have helped with testing and just being all around good friends. I will list these people below. Secondly I want to thank the many developers here at XDA that have contributed so much over the years. Without these specific people we would not be able to build or flash custom roms! Again, their credits will also be found below. Now let's get to the rom shall we?
About ROMWarning: This ROM is ONLY for the Sprint SM-N910P!!! DO NOT FLASH THIS ROM ON ANY OTHER MODEL!!! If you do then please don't ask for help in this thread. You are on your own! Know what you are doing before flashing and modifying your phone!!! Yes this is an amazing rom BUT it is for the Sprint network model SM-N910P ONLY!!! Please resist the urge to flash this rom on any other model. This is your fair warning.
Initial Release: v1.0
This is a "stock" build with no mods other than XtremeMusic audio technologies by @androidexpert35
Fully deodexed framework and system apps
Root by @Chainfire
Busybox
Init.d support
Native Hotspot unlocked. (you can update prl and profile without breaking hotspot)
100% Sprint Note 5 framework and system apps.
100% Sprint Note 4 system files for hardware & feature dependecies. Are we sensing a pattern here???
Absolutely ZERO international or non Sprint specific N4/N5 rom files where used in the making of this rom!
This rom is guaranteed to bring new life into your Note 4 and make you love it again.
Software version: N920PVPS2AOK3/N910PVPS4COK1 A true "Hybrid"
Kernel: Official Samsung N910PVPS4COK1 with root enabled by @freeza
Rom package Includes the latest OK1 modem & apn's that will flash along with the rom.
FeaturesThis is a stock rom running the stock samsung kernel. Nothing has been done to the rom that would break features or cause any other kinds of undesirable results. Although there are no significant problems in the rom, I do plan to continue making fine adjustments with libraries etc in order to make this rom as pefect as I can. Afterall it is a port and many things have to be done precicely for the smoothest and most trouble-free operation of the rom. Currently this rom is amazing. In the future it will be even more amazing. Rom includes all working features of the Sprint Note 5 software version N920PVPS2AOK3.
(No broken S6 Edge features will be included at this time until all of it's features are fixed)
All pre-installed Samsung apps have been updated to their latest versions as of the release date of this rom. This is why the rom is larger than your average rom. Some 64 bit apps can't be installed from the Galaxy apps store, therefore I have converted and pre-installed the latest versions of SNote, SNote Extension, SNote add-ons etc. Please be aware that If you delete or uninstall some of these specific apps, you will not be able to install them again from the Galaxy apps store. So back them up first!
Removed Itson
Removed Knox and related apk's & libs/modules
Removed Sprint bloat installer and sprint ID
Removed WhatsAppDownloader
Removed Facebook and facebook feature apps (can be downloaded from google Play)
Removed GameOptimizer (does not function on the Note 4's hardware without modifications. not important.)
Removed Lookout (can be downloaded through Google Play or Sprint Zone app)
Removed Samsung Kies (the stock preinstalled N5 Kies.apk does not function on our Note 4 so the latest version will need to be installed from Galaxy apps store)
Removed Samsung Pay and Payment Framework apk's (they are useless on rooted roms since they don't work if you have a rooted system or have tripped knox flag)
Replaced the Note 5 VoiceNote app with the Note 4's OK1 Voice Notes app because it supports the Note 4's 3 mics and has multiple recording scenarios unlike the Note 5 version. It's better.
Default notification panel toggles updated with additional toggles Samsung decided to hide from us.
(only functioning toggles are included. many of the extra toggles do not actually work because the features have been disabled or is for a different device/carrier)
Added the following apps:
Peel Smart Remote ( Why not? The Note 4 has a IR blaster unlike the note 5 )
Backup app
GifMaker app (is an add-on feature for the stock Samsung photo gallery and can be found in the stock gallery's menu)
Samsung fonts package (can be accessed from fonts settings. There's a lot so it takes a few seconds to load them all. when you open fonts settings be patient, they will load)
Video Editor full version (I fixed the internal linking from the stock samsung video app so it will take you straight to the video editor when pressing "edit" for a video)
Added Features:
XtremeMusic v7.0 by: @androidexpert35
Dolby ATMOS
Known issues:
This is the list of known minor issues upon initial release. Some are beyond my control.
non-issue but will mention... Sprint Zone will fc during initial rom setup. it is looking for the bloat installer and ID apps which are removed
FM radio is broken (I plan to finish solving this problem in the future as I have a good sense of direction to solve this )
World clock tab in the clock app does not work. (I know the cause of this problem and will try to fix it another time)
Some Samsung apps (specifically 64bit versions) cannot be updated through Samsung galaxy app store. This is to be expected and they will fail to install. Please consider this before you remove any stock samsung apps!
Did i miss anything? I think that's about it! Please report any issues or bugs if you find something. Also PM me so your report doesn't get overlooked.
Changelog***v1.0 Initial release (rom features listed above)***
***v1.1 (No longer available. Nothing to see here.)
***v1.2

Fixed Samsung SoundAlive (however the bass knob in SoundAlive has a bug where bass will drop if you turn it to the left. Leave it centered for the best results)
Added S6 Smart Manager
Fixed World Clock
Updated all apps
Fixed GPS issue
Rebuilt the entire rom and made underhood adjustments as needed
Flashing instructions:Before you flash this rom you absolutely MUST be running the latest OK1 software for the Sprint Note 4 with the latest bootloader as well as having your phone fully activated. While on the stock un-rooted OK1 rom, you will need to go to Settings/System updates and update PRL then update Profile. Reboot your phone and then go to Settings/Activate this device and launch it to properly activate your phone on the sprint network. Once this completes, make sure data, calls and gps works as it should. Once everything is activated and working, then proceed with the flashing instructions below. If you ignore these requirements please expect issues and don't ask for help until you do these initial steps.
You can either take the ota updates in order on your phone via OTA updates, or use odin to flash the software in order of release until you are fully updated. OTA updates on your phone are installed differently than odin packages therefore you may only have to take one or two updates to become current. The OTA updates run scripts to patch your current rom unlike odin tar packages that completely write the entire partition replacing everything clean. I will not go into great detail about that here. I have covered this many times in my other threads so if you aren't sure then do some searching here in the Note 4 forums.
***Before you flash any rom, please make sure your battery has at least 50% charge***
Lets begin...
1. Download the rom
2. Check the MD5!!! Use a MD5 checksum tool on your pc or phone (Google is your friend)
3. Copy the downloaded rom to your phone's internal storage or micro-sd card
Note: It has become apparent to me that if you are coming from another custom rom. especially another port rom, that you MUST also wipe your internal storage. Left over data from other roms do cause major problems! So if you want the best trouble-free experience with this rom, i highly recommend that you backup anything you need from you internal storage and wipe it in recovery. You should do this before placing this rom on your internal storage or else put the rom zip on your micro-sd card.
4. Backup anything you need to backup from your internal storage and copy it to your pc or sd-card (DO NOT RESTORE BACKED UP APPS! INSTALL THEM FRESH FOR THE BEST TROUBLE-FREE EXPERIENCE!)
5. Reboot to TWRP custom recovery. Press "Wipe". Do the "Factory Reset" several times then go into "Advanced Wipe" options and wipe Dalvic Cache, System, Data, and Cache several times.
6. Go to recovery home screen and select "Install" and select the rom that you have already copied to your phone in step 3 above.
7. Install the rom and the script will prompt you when it is finished flashing. WAIT!!! DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE YET!!!
***THE NEXT STEP IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!! It is done in order to clear the phone's current battery stats and prepare the phone for proper battery calibration***
***If you skip this step you will possibly have incorrect and misread battery capacity by your phone and will result in incorrect battery capacity problems*** Trust me. Do as I say and you will be perfectly fine.
8. While still in recovery go back to the recovery homescreen and select "Reboot" then "Power Off".
9. With your phone powered off remove your battery. With the battery removed press and hold the power button for AT LEAST 20 seconds then release it.
10. Replace the battery and power on your phone. If the phone reboots into recovery then simply press "Reboot" then press reboot "System".
11. The initial boot process will take around 10 minutes or so. Just be patient. It will boot.
12. Once the phone has booted and you see the setup wizard screen, select your language then press the botton to continue to the next step. STOP HERE!
***THE NEXT STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!***
13. Stop at the wifi setup screen!!! Turn wifi off or leave it on, it doesn't matter. But STAY ON THIS SCREEN until your Sprint data has fully connected or else you will
not be able to sign into your accounts and the setup wizard will not be happy.
14. Once you have a data connection continue through setup wizard as usual.
That's it! You're done!

My phone works data works and mms works but my phone won't activate either. I followed it to the letter, I'm not new to this. I wiped everything except my external and pulled the battery and waited for my lte signal. Everything works like a charm though. Can't update prl cause it goes to the hands free activation screen again and fails.

Hands free just came up automatically. It kept failing so I restored my back up and it went through the hands free activation by itself and it updated my prl. I then re fladhed this rom and it is good to go now.

Okay so I re downloaded the COK1.tar and ROM just in case I had a bad download. I wiped EVERYTHING 6 times, rebooted into download mode, Odin'd COK1, let it activate, set it up as a new device and did no restores or back ups, took the PRL/Profile updates, flashed TWRP, followed instructions to the T. Everything is working smooth like before, i'll update on battery life in a couple hours.

Rom supporters
I would like for everybody to treat this new thread with the same respect that you have in my other rom threads. Help one another, offer tips, advice and whatever you can to new comers. I also would like for everybody to know that my test/ support team are here to help when they can. They are listed in the credits at the bottom of the OP. Ofcourse anybody can offer help here. Thanks everybody. Enjoy your new rom! I'm confident I can relax now and not have to worry about bugs and fixes and that familiar scenario with improper porting. Say bye bye to those days.

Well thank you! I wasn't lying brother! I spent a ton of time like you wouldn't even imagine. So many files to go through, testing varibles, you name it. I dreamed this stuff and come up with solutions in my sleep. For real! That's how my brain has always worked. LOL. Enjoy!
I would've been cool to add the blur effect to the spen menu LOL but otherwise good rom

Being on a N5 I actually hate this myself, and prefer it to not blur my entire screen lol. Thanks for giving me an idea however!
