I'm having notification issues now.
I have att s4 with safestrap
And the smart cover.
My screen never lights up for notifications even if the cover is not on. Is this normal or not?

I'm unable to get the phone to show up when connected to my PC. I get the "Connected as a Media Device" message on the phone, but it never shows up in the File Explorer on the computer.

I'm running SafeStrap v3.60 with this ROM. Does anyone else have this issue or know of a way to fix it? I really like the GPE ROM aside from this one thing holding me back.
Tried to do the same at work but it wouldn't install correct drivers/need to be admin/etc. so I'll test this when I get home today and let you know. I love this ROM too.

Didn't work for me either at home on personal PC. Tried turning developer options on/off, and USB debugging mode as well. No luck. DARN.

When I first downloaded the GT-i9500 System Dump, the stock kernel was included yes. My first iterations of the ROM, I did not use this kernel however, and others did not as well as they were having issues with MTP, however I fixed those in the 3rd iteration (v1.3)
Aodhan, those of us that are using this ROM (and any other GPE ROM for that matter) with SafeStrap are having issues with MTP as well. I think this is because with SS we have to download the MF3 kernel modules provided by Hashcode after installing a ROM to make it work with Safestrap. Is there any way around this issue? Is this something that Hashcode would need to implement in his kernel modules, or is this something that can be addressed elsewhere? Is it even possible to make work?

Thanks

Also, thanks for providing this ROM. I am much happier with my GS4 now that it has been set free from Touchwiz!

Anyone using a GPE ROM with safestrap is having this problem. It appears that the kernel that comes with GPE is needed for this to work. The problem is that for safestrap to work, we need to flash the MF3 kernel modules after installing the ROM. This appears to break USB connectivity. There is no word yet on whether or not this can be fixed.

couple questions here.. I just flashed this rom using safestrap and i'm loving it so far! my questions are how can you get to the recent apps screen. before root it was just holding the home button but that gets me to google now on this rom. also how can i get quick setting in the notification bar? last one how can i get the shortcuts on the lockscreen circle thing besides just the unlock logo?I would really like that. Thanks for the awesome rom!!

I just noticed the OP hasn't been updated since July. is this rom not being updated anymore? still no addons now or ever?
I cannot speak for the OP, but my experience has been that Roms which are basically enhanced versions of some stock ROM reach a plateau and development ceases. further tweaking then defeats the purpose of being a mild enhancement of stock.

recent apps screen - double tap the home button
quick settings - power toggles, find it on the play store
the lockscreen "circle things" you can add by using a different lockscreen app
not sure about screen mirroring or multi window. test it out

Why is the link for the ODEX and the DEODEX the same? Is the DEODEX removed for some reason?

Oh and which version of Ausdim Kernel is included in this?

anyone else getting temporary launcher lag? From time to time, swiping through homesceens gets very choppy, then it fixes itself after about 5 minutes and returns to normal
I'm getting this as well. From time to time I will get really choppy frames while swiping through home screens only. Browsing the app drawer or settings menu I have no lag. Only way to fix this for me is to power off the phone and restart which is kind of a hassle.

Any ideas?

Wifi is not working for me. The link for the Wifi fix is down. I have a At&t MF3 version.

Disregard I flashed the jflteatt-MF3-modules.zip and it fixed the problem. Now I have an issue where my computer won't see the device. I remember I fixed that earlier by flashing another zip but can't remember what file that was.
