Root [International] KT-SGS4 Kernel

[ironass]

Now, I know I should always trust uncle ironass, you are in many ways similar to wife (you are always right and there's nothing sexual between us)...

That's a blooming relief for me... and probably your long suffering wife as well! :girlhit:

but when I go to download the Google edition, it describes it as being for tw ge. And Echoe kit Kat ge is not a tw rom.......

Taken from the Download...

"AOSP KITKAT 4.4 VERSION:
http://ktoonsez.jonathanjsimon.com/s...01.13.2014.zip

Google Edition KITKAT 4.4 VERSION:
http://ktoonsez.jonathanjsimon.com/s...01.13.2014.zip"

There's only 2 choices for Android 4.4 Syd... go for the one that isn't AOSP. :listen:

 

[Hawker]

I've asked the question on the thread anyway Syd.
See if we get an explanation.....

at least someone round here takes me seriously

have you tried it yet then uncle rusty bum??

50/50 chance of a reply then.

My guess would be that the TW prefix is to distinguish the pure GE kernel for the GT-i9505G, from the adapted Google Edition version for the GT-i9505.

Guess 2 would be that ktoonsez screwed up on the file name.

at least someone round here takes me seriously

We're humouring you Syd.

have you tried it yet then uncle rusty bum??

All done and dusted and the new super-conservative enabled and a nandroid backup done.

On a side note... I cannot now, watch any of the Ice Age cartoons without thinking about Syd. I am seeking treatment for this. :shot:

 

[dynomot]

I always think of Ice age when I think of you three Ironass =Manny
Hawker =Diego
Syd=well, Syd.

Anyways, I'm here to torment you and popped across from the Hobbit Tablet forum to ask people who are into rooting a question. Some of these kernels have Note 3 versions. Which ones are your favourites so far? I realise what is good on the Samsung flagship may not be the same on its Hobbit toy, but hey I need an excuse from trying to explain Knox from angry Note 3 owners, convinced their phone is going to die upon rooting.

I was PM'd by one poster who said almost the same thing... except their order was...

Syd = Sid (because he was, well... Sid)
Hawker = Manny (because he was wise, knowledgeable and patient)
ironass = Diego (because I could be sarcastic and scathing)

Needless to say, they're still awaiting a reply from me!

I was a big fan of the talexop kernel on 4.3, in preference to Ausdim, faux123 or KT. However, KT on the Android 4.4 release is serving me well, better than Alucard.

Having problems with k tweaker. Every time I select the supply at boot option, no matter what changes I make, my phone won't boot 4 times out of 5. Odd!

All tickety-boo here on KTweaker and my own Battery Save Profile. Try using Hawker's KernelWipe, after first saving any KTweak profiles you use, to see if that helps. If not, it could be your KTweak profile that's causing the problem. Try it on the Default profile first.

 

[Hawker]

Ktweaker app doing great for me syd so
try clearing ktweaker cache+data and remove ktweaker entry in the supersu app and reboot, then configure ktweaker again.

I think I just won the "how many times can you use the word ktweaker in a single sentence" competition.

Kernelwipe will remove all your profiles, so save them somewhere else first. They are in /sdcard/KTweaker
