I think the thread title should be changed. Its not a leak. Source was released and OTA was confirmed on sprint community site.

Great point. I just copy and pasted from my last one

^^ True. This is going to be the latest OTA.

I'm trying out a stock rooted deodexed build I made a little bit ago and it seems like the scrolling is a little bit different from FI25. Also, I haven't run stock in forever, so are these wifi icons the same as they've been for a while? :screwy:
And yes the recent apps "bug" is still there but can be fixed pretty easily.

Nope, working fine for me. What zip did you use? Check with other people using the same download as you.

As far as differences go this build feels almost identical to FI25.

Can't wait for the LG Nexus. For the record I called that 2 months ago before the whole world. I feel special now

That can be good or bad... What's the verdict so far? Is it worth leaving a stable and battery friendly rom for this?

Can you change that FI25 to read FI27 on post 1 please?
Also, someone set me straight please because I thought #1 and #2 were changes already in FI25. Are we not creating a changelog for FI25 to FI27?

Damn it. I always forget that part. And yes it is a change from FI25 to FI27. I fixed the OP. Thanks!

I'm running Re-Calked 0.2.1 FI25. Last night I flashed Agat's 0.6.0. No problems at that point. Early this morning I flashed the FI27 modem.
Checked my phone later and had the dreaded LOS. Flashed back to the FI25 modem and all is well. I'm going to need my phone for awhile so I'll have to stay on 25 until I can get some free time to try again. I've only seen this on my phone a couple of times, and the last time was probably last December.
Anyone else seeing this? I'm in a good signal area, and my wife's phone had a strong signal at the time.
Hopefully this is an isolated case.

I had this problem for a while now. The only thing that fixed this was freezing the Sprint ID process using a free app freezing app like App Quarantine. After freezing the app, my phone behaved wonderfully.

4.3 Vs 4.1.2?

Having mix feeling about the update. Apparently in this forum a lot of people are having issues.

Battery and bugs issues. Can anyone confirm this.

Stick on 4.3 until Samsung gets all the kinks fixed out or a dev does.

I mentioned them on your thread. I dont know why I had so many issues with the Tmo Rom but didnt have any issues (except the data signal) when using the other 4.3 Rom (international) you made. But im glad I didnt update officially!

For right now with the bootloader Knox issues, I'm sticking with 4.12 and using the the 4.3 MK7 radio. I've gone through them all and this
improved my signal and battery time significantly. More over, with this modem improvement, I've fallen in love again with my finely tuned
Jedi-x20 all over again. ptmr3, still my idol!!!

I also flashed the MK7 modem. Haven't really noticed a vast improvement..and it also didn't deliver some of my calls and went straight to vm. But hoping it makes a difference as its used more throughout the day. .

To all people having problems,
I personally had to flash the deodexed rom about 3 times before the problems got fixed. First time camera wasn't working but I read somewhere that when first on stock taker pictures and then update the kernel. Second it was super sluggish...barely moving. Third time everything worked fine and have yet to come across and problems.
Just remember to keep erasing cache and dalvik after every flash/step.

Man people, I'm sorry for all of you. I received it while using tweaked but could not flash it so I went back to stock image using Mobile odin and triangle away. After going complete stock I received the update again then went ahead and installed it using the stock recovery. I gave up root because I'm impatient and couldn't wait 24 hours until the rooted version came along and the only thing I miss is viper audio and cerebus. So I went the stock route and after it booted up, I signed in to my Google account and soon as the home screen came up I did a factory rest and haven't had 1 hiccup. The phone is fast as hell, the battery is about the same, my 4glte even seems faster than before when browsing using the stock browser, not chrome. The keyboard is great now as well as camera, and nothing bets the apps to sd. So in conclusion do a factory rest and forget about root IF you want all to run flawless. I'm sure there will be a way to regain root again. Happy flashing.......stock style.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to try this and see if it fixes the freeze ups.

ND8 KitKat source is posted on the opensource page..here comes KitKat with 3.4 kernel

Let the ROM watch begin. Here comes ND8 KitKat. CNexus confirms that with this update we will finally be on a 3.4 kernel!
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=sph-l710
No, you can't install anything from this link. It's source for developers. But it means in the next day or so the roll out of ND8 KitKat will begin OTA.

It's great news.

And as always, don't just excitedly grab the update before you find out what's in it. We don't need another thread full of whiners.
There are plenty of competent people here who can modify the OTA if needed; the last time it took only a few days after the roll-out.

Awesome

Remember, if you get the notification, please try and get the actual file name of the update file and post it here. Once we have that name we can suss out the full download path of the file and it can be downloaded directly from the google server. In the past the path has been:
android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/sprint_samsung_l710/XXXXXXXXXXX
where the X's are replaced by the file name.
Post the filename here if you get it!

Noted.

If this is anything like KitKat for the Note3 it will be a winner. My Note 3 got way faster when I updated to KitKat. It was the single biggest improvement I have ever seen on a device with an OS update and I started using Android when the Samsung Moment came out on Sprint !

It means they can hax0r it so that it does not take away your phones ability to be rooted and pretty much boring.
So...They hax0r it, you continue to root it, then your phone continues to r0x0rs your b0x0rs all nightx0rs........:victory:

That's basically it. Things can be twisted around a bit if needed and any remaining bugs can be remedied.

We can remove checks of your bootloader version, remove flashing of the new bootloader, etc.

Ah okay. Sounds good. So hold off until a stripped OTA is posted. Got it. Now to just find a 4.4.2 Rom that mimics The S4/5.

yeah im waiting for the @CNexus version.

As soon as I get a link/zip from someone :good:

Finally...now I can update the wife's and daughter's phones....JB really borked the daughters so much so that I told the wife not to update so this will finally relive me of having to answer "my phone keeps telling me to update something, should I?" questions...
And before someone yaps up about "why not root" - it's because I don't want to deal with the bugs/updates/mods on their phones and besides, Flixster (an app they both use a lot) doesn't work on rooted phones (until somebody releases an update to OTA Rootkeeper or other app that hides root).

Why is the development on this phone so slow

I'm just confused why. Did we lose some assist or did Samsung beef up there security?

Beefed up security that bricks the phone, devs are having trouble getting past it.
if it ever gets sorted out maybe will see some development.
Pp.

It isn't about security, it's all about Exynos and the fact we have zero source code for it because Samsung won't hand it over for obvious reasons, without that source code it's relatively difficult to build roms. Some devs have done it but with the cost of it being painstakingly time consuming and with the resulting Roms being still buggy and relatively unstable. Which brings me to the assumption that because the s5 had development or other Samsung devices had good development you assumed this one would follow suit however most of Samsungs previous devices were using Qualcomms Snapdragon processors which Qualcomms been known to be good with supplying it's source code.

Fudge... this phone is feeling super slow without customer kernels and overclockin. I moved over back to android ditchin the 6 in hopes of rooting and going all sorts of crazy. Plus the multitasking is a joke in that it kills apps so fast

Guess that's why Apple has a reputation of just working.. Now I know why Samsung sales are slipping. I was told hope you didn't listen to the salesman, really? Does your elders listen to salesman when looking for a gift? Since Samsung is aware of it how hard it it to put a banner before the upgrade warning the new user? Now back to Apple there products work, sounds like a hit a forum that thinks bugs and bad QA is fine.. Keep your wallets open sheep, samsung loves you.
