I was reading through the ME7 ROM and saw that someone used the kuban odexer app to odex the framework but in the app's description the galaxy s4 is not listed. Can someone please Confirm this?? Thanks

Ill ask the Dev who made it, for you.
Yes it works. I've used it already in the past to quickly odex my deodexed ROM. Ruj is epic
sent from my GE gs4
It works perfectly. I had to use method 2 and run it twice. The first run odexed the framework and the 2nd run odexed the apk's.
I've only ever done option 1. Worked every time with no hiccups.

I personally feel an odexed system runs smoother. The difference is potentially in my head though. It's not that substantial. But from a dev'ing perspective they are a total PITA because to decompile an app you need to deodex it first. Sometimes whatever tool you are using to deodex will get through all of the apps/jars but then stumble on 2 or 3 of them. It ends up being agrivating at points. That's why you don't see a lot of Devs supporting odex(at least that's why I wouldn't, if I wasn't. :silly: )
That's why I haven't released another odex'd GE yet. Since I am actively working in it, I didn't feel it was too important to run an odex script and build the system. Plus, people could odex it themselves if they wanted. :good:
I bought the odexer because I am pretty much using all of ruj's stuff lol

Cool, thanks. I mean if the difference is in your head, then it's still a difference, right? From the bit of research I did I understand the idea behind odex/deodexing ROMs, but always got the "vibe" that deodex was ALWAYS better, but didn't actually know why. I guess I'll give it a shot, at the very least it's an opportunity to support a dev.
So, I'd you run the odexer, then run tibu, and then flash a deodexed ROM...
Then restore the apps with tibu, do sad things happen?
Just wondering before I make that mistake.
Dubbsy.... If it's in your head then it's in mind too. LOL. I can definitely feel the difference in an odex rom. It seems like the phone has no trouble running the rome, It's just straight butter! Zero and i mean zero lag, super smooth transitions and to me it even seemed like it slept better. I ran clean rom odex for a while and still would be but I am a sucker for inverted apps and themeing.
Bring on a odex rom with beautiful blue themeing (blukuban anyone?)

Ah I see, thanks for pointing that out Hopefully some novice users will see and use this script that have not yet had the chance to mingle around with its awesomeness
This script is awesome. I use to run it on my droid charge because it was so laggy and improved the overall performance of the phone. But I think the rom that I am running right now has some of pieces of the script already in it.

Essentially, this script/variety of scripts when used together, will help greatly increase the responsiveness, snappiness, and overall performance of your ROM as for it's speed/reliability, that is, when you use the script(s) correctly and as they are intended to be used. If you simply install the v6 supercharger script and leave it at that, the above examples of performance increases will not always work as they should. It will take some time setting things up, like using 3G TurboCharger and Kick Ass Kernelizer tweaks, Nitro Lag Nullifier, etc, etc, etc... Check out the link I posted in the OP about how to use and install everything and you will see great improvements, I promise Also, don't forget that to use the scripts you will first need to install Script Manager from the market and be sure to run as ROOT!!!
Have fun with this!!!!!!
Can somebody please give me a step by step way to use this? I'm on ics firmware and I have no idea how to use this script. there are 17 options to choose from, but the thread says that I need extra stuff for ics. I'm totally lost when it comes to this stuff. is there a flashable zip for this script? Or at least can someone tell me what values to use for each option. I want to use v6 supercharger and then use turboprop on top of it.
thanks for helping a noob.
Nick
nevermind. I figured it out. I originally downloaded an older version of the script which was not made to work with ics.

Sent from my unrooted, extremely bloated Galaxy S4 via tapatalk 2.
shockingly I'm using TouchWiz. My only complaints with it are the inability to flick away desktop icons, no play store in the top right corner, and the folders are annoying. Why not just leave the stock folder function?
I use Apex Launcher overtop of TW which gives me the customization i want but still maintains all the Samsung functionality that is really pretty cool. After coming from AOSP Roms on my Gnex, its kind of a nice change of pace.
I rooted and removed some bloatware and verizon stuff I knew I didn't need.
Installed novalauncher and called it a day. I plan to stay with the stock kernel. I might be a little jaded coming from having to reformat my last few phones every few months once I started flashing roms.
I am completely stock, no root yet. Just testing her out to see if I am going to keep it first. Battery life and signal issues plagued my last two phones, so those are what I'm testing. So far so good.
Can someone explain what TouchWiz is? I don't see it anywhere on my S4. I'm coming from a Thunderbolt.

Rooted but still on stock ROM, using GoLauncher on top of TouchWiz, Swiftkey dark theme keyboard, haven't removed/frozen bloat yet (but will soon, just rooted yesterday). I'll be eventually loading a custom ROM but waiting out the alpha/beta builds.
Really enjoying the two finger swiping/gestures, though i don't use them much. Comes in handy on the notification bar for quick toggles, and Toucher is a pretty cool app especially when themed properly.
Not a fan of all the notification clutter, but thats just my OCD kicking in.
SmartStay/SmartScroll stopped working after day one, not sure why, but seems kind of a hokey feature anyway...
I agree, the tweaked folders are annoying, enjoyed my previous ICS folders using DeckReloaded on my EVO.
By and far my favorite phone that I have owned.

So I tried it. It booted into the OS just fine, but the phone process was force closing so bad I couldn't get though the setup. I would type a character then it would freeze. Just lost patience, lol. I had backed up my APN but could not get through the setup to restore it.
But what this tells us is that porting ROMs will potentially be pretty easy.

So, I just wanted to share my settings and mods from which I have found the best experience on the S4 with... I have tried all the customs ROMs out, and always find myself coming back to stock simply because everything works, and works great...
Apps: Things I cannot live without...
SD maid pro
Lagfix pro
Nova launcher pro
Titanium BU pro
Solid Explorer pro
SuperSU pro
7Zip
FolderMount pro
Terminal Emulator
Trickster
Mods: Just fun things, all 100% stable..
Nottach w/ Xposed
Trueicon fix-from different carrier forums, the Best icons period and they work with Nottach.
The V for vendetta default contact pics, no more cartons!
Latest Crossbreeder mod on xda
The all in one wifi, hotspot, CRT off mod in our vzw section- projectodex is the name
Custom Android P on apple boot, and Android robot off animations.
A few personal selected blackout app mods
Removed GPS
Removed E911 icon's
Selected bloat all frozen in Tibu
I think those are about it. Everything I listed here is the work of the awesome guys on XDA and Im by no means claiming these as mine. So please thank the individual developers!
Everything I listed here works and will work with each other. IE.., the trueicons will work on top of a completely custom drop down notification panel..
Again, all these things work on a stock rooted ROM, it looks great and nothing crashes ever. I consistently quadrant from low 13k to 14k. The phone boots official eveytime (no custom with the unlocked padlock) and the battery life is pretty great on fauxU kernel.
So, if you can't find a setup that just does it for you, give these mods a try, tweak everything out and enjoy. Remember to thank the respective devs for their work!

What bloatware have you frozen or removed?
+1 Nova Launcher and Solid Explorer. I run CleanROM and it's as stable as can be.
where did you find the E911 removal? the ones i find are all for deodexed roms
The E911 removal was posted in our section back when the device first launched, can't remember the thread name for the life of me....
Apps frozen:
All things Verizon/Amazon
All printer things
Honestly, just went through everything and froze what I don't use and a few random other things. There are some good guides out for this.
That's awesome. I'm going to try some of those.
Can you flash a rom(for example pacman or cm or aokp and still do all or a lot of that?

Meh with this amazing hardware we shouldn't see any entropy issues.
It seems to me that a quad core 1.9 ghz processor should be able to handle everything we can throw at it without any lag. Personally, I find the stock s4 to lag slightly. My Note 2 however works like a dream. I guess the different brand of processors really make a noticeable difference.

yeah I'm still on 1.0 cause its the best battery life. I've tried 1.3 and 1.5R2 though not 1.6 or 1.6.5.
1.0 is still my DD. Smooth no lag (though i had no lag on stock) and everything worked with crazy battery life. I have all of the Zips DL so I'll always have the nandroids plus the zips. The battery life i got on 1.0 (.25% drain per hour idle and 6-7 hours on screen time) makes me not need to mess with other roms right now. Unfortunatley i was not getting the same battery life with the other versions of this rom.
Also unfortunate he closed the thread right away as we're unable to thank him for a great ROM. I wish him the best and hope whatever changed in his life is good or if not so good things improve for him. Thanks Scott

Not me, I like CleanRom, I've tried Hyperdrive and really like all it's features but I'm running CynogenMod. Why? Because it works on my phone and NO TouchWiz ROM I've tried does work properly with all my apps and I can't figure it out? Apps that ran just fine on my Galaxy S3 work perfectly on AOSP ROMs on the S4 but will not work on any TouchWiz ROM and I haven't the knowledge, time or inclination to trouble shoot TouchWiz so.... CyanogenMod.
I almost cried when I read that message. After having terrible lag issues with hyperdrive, it looks like synergy will be my next go to rom when the update comes out which I will like because it will have more features than CR did. I don't like anything crazy but some tweaks that scott doesn't offer in his stockish rom will be nice. I am going to miss him very much though. Great guy and great dev.

Lmao, I loled when I read this... Good stuff.
I am far from a dev, hell I've barely been using an android device for a month but, devs have such a thankless job/hobby. I am not aware of one that gets money for anything they do (short of "bounties") yet, get ridiculed when something they do may not work for someone.
I appreciate everything, would love to get into doing things like this just have no idea where to start. I wouldn't mind taking a crack at making my own ROM for personal use and if good enough, maybe public. I just have zero experience, lol
So long story short I came from a long line of HTC phones and one of the big things I miss about the ROMs is when the developers would take a stock OTA and debloat everything down to just the basic elements and throw a launcher on it. You would get all of the benefits of the OTA (better camera, better reception, etc) but still have the slimmed down fast OS. AI still have not seen that here. I was wondering if any dev would mind stripping a ROM down or if anyone just feels like I do?

I found a really good debloat script for the Note 2. Worked like a dream. I took a debloat ROM and stripped it down even more. I love it. Here is the link for anyone else like me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932202

I just want the better camera and reception really.

The reception is up to the radio which we can flash separately from any of the roms if we like. Camera I belive you could just pull the app from the new image of the update. Glad the script got you the right set up.

Did you use the flash able zip or the one that needed a computer?

Not sure how exactly the note 2 is compared to the S3 that I had, but this isn't necessarily true. CM based roms have to reverse engineer the radio resulting in worse signal and data handoffs relative to touchwiz. As far as I know, there has never been a fully functioning touchwiz camera ported to CM. Correct me if I am wrong.
If you want better signal and camera, touchwiz is your only option. I've flashed dozens of CM based roms, and all have the similar data and csmera issues. Remember, your experience may vary, but this is all relative to touchwiz, which has the proprietary drivers.

I used a flashable zip. And I also came from a samsung galaxy s 3 and I assume that the camera and radios like you said are reverse engineered. I have a four month old baby so to me I need the camera or my wife will kill me
