I had no issue installing IOKP. Im running it right now.


Heres what I did:
(FYI, I use TWRP recovery)

Factory Reset and wipe System
install IOKP and IOKP Gapps one after the other
Reboot

Thats it. It worked for me on the first try. I'm running 4.3 on my S4 now.

Tips:
Use the most recent version of IOKP, I used "iokp_jfltetmo_official_2013-11-08"
Use IOKP Gapps and not regular Gapps.

I'll post screens soon.
Be sure to thank Jamison904 and his crew while you're there!!!

Did you check your gallery to see if the screenshot was saved there

I definitely did. Its strange, the normal method of pressing home and power buttons doesn't take a screenshot at all and even installing two different 3rd party screenshot apps didn't work. The apps sometimes produced a file but it was just a black pic.

I'm sure there will be future updates and fixes.

If someone else gives it a try, let us know how it goes.

Dont just take my word for it...try it yourself.

I didn't try the screenshot. But my biggest problem was mms. Sent a blank message when over 50 characters. So I'm back on infamous tw. That's what works best for me.

Try Dirty Unicorns. I was able to take screens of it.

You're a lucky man. I've tried IOKP, DU, and the most recent CM and they've all done exactly the same thing: FAILED in big red letters.

Thats weird man, there's got to be a reason you keep failing.

What recovery are you using? Maybe try a different one? Is there an error code to go along with the fail? How do you download the roms you flash? Maybe try downloading a different way?

Has anyone else had fails when flashing these?

I haven't had one fail, not one. All flashed and booted the first time without any bootloops or anything. I've even flashed CM 4.4 kitkat without issue (thats what I'm playing with now).
