Hi, can you normally use your current state every day?

Been using the previous version as a daily driver already.
So I would say, yes.
Very nice ROM for our device.

Is the Bluetooth voice call issue fixed?.

Edit _> confirmed fixed !. Awesome Kyasu, thanks.

Dirty Flashing from 14.1 did not work for me. Device boots completely but hangs after 20s of usage. Maybe there is an incompatible app, thats making my device crash. I'll try it from scratch in some days again. But thank you for all your work!

PixelChris95 · Feb 11, 2018

This will be my daily driver from today on. Thanks so much kyasu! Switching on and off Bluetooth and WiFi seems to interfere somehow, but everything else seems to work fine for the moment!
Did you consider posting a donation link @kyasu ?

Thanks for the continuing support for the S4!
Somehow the recommended gapps (as of 12.02.18) don't work for me. Instead i used the more recent one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/arm-unofficial-opengapps-builds-android-t3743495
I hope i can help someone. BTW: klick on download anyway if it shows an error messege on the download-page.

The ROM in it's current condition is already very stable.
Been using it since the first release and no stability issues for me.

Big bug for me. If you set screen lock as pattern or pin you can't unlock phone because SystemUI crashes so I can't add Credit Card to Android Pay.

EDIT: OK work but there is some delay. If the process interrupted you don't able to unlock screen. To fix this you must Reboot to Recovery and go to Advanced-->File Manager. Navigate to /data/system and delete all locksettings databases.

Camera LED doesn't work too.

Pin works fine here. Also led flash is working fine for me with footej camera app. Switching flight mode off from power menu does not work, but there is also the quick settings tile for this, so nothing to worry about. This is very stable and some features work even better than with los14.1 (torch tile, switching cameras delay...).
One more thing: Switching selinux to enforcing works also for me, so no problem using Netflix and other apps, which depend on this.

I don't think the wakeup delay problem is specific to the Korean version. I'm experiencing this bug on an international Galaxy S4 LTE-A. On stock the keys light up right away and the screen immediately after. On your roms the keys light up immediately, but the screen takes about a second to wake up.

Thanks for all your work, nonetheless. This is a great ROM, thanks for keeping ks01lte alive.

When I try to set pin settings froze. I rebooted phone and tried to unlock, but it's relocking continously. You only set PIN from settings and it worked?

Yes I did nothing special. I just changed to a pattern, unlocked once and changed back to my pin. No problems whatsoever.
I have the wakeup delay too with the international version, but I am already used to it since 14.1

Do you use ext4 or f2fs on data partition? Maybe I have this bug because I use f2fs and Magisk.

I use f2fs for data and cache partition. I would just clean flash again. Which gapps did you use? I used this (pico version): https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/arm-unofficial-opengapps-builds-android-t3743495

Same GApps as mine but I also use Magisk. Maybe this is a issue.

Setting screen lock works, but it takes longer than normal.
