Couldn't get LTE to work on build 8. I am on CDMA/lte/evdo
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Fuzzy Wuzzy:
Is there away to change the lock screen shortcuts, along with the other customization features that were in build 7? It seems as though everything was rearraged, but i cannot find settings such as the ability to change the transparency of the notification menu.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Xinlitik:
Also having trouble with 3g/4g. They seem to work on and off. The wifi still works great though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shoeprano27:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rkant18:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:

Only minor bug I see now is the signal bars are missing.. Same for you? Or do I need to reflash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
External SD working?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cjwaggsrx8:
That was fixed a while ago.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
I am seeing them, maybe reflash or reboot. Could be a bug though

Yes that's been good for past 2 days
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Thank ya sir. Been busy with birthday related things (today is my birthday, 26 today!)

Anywho I will flash now and report in any issues I get. Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
Happy B-Day, wish I was 26 again, lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Heh. Thanks.

To confirm: GPS does work? I'll test in the AM on the way to work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
To add to the signal bars, on 4G I have them on 3G I don't. But I do have 3G data, one thing at a time I guess.

For GPS yes, get good fast locks. If you are having trouble go to settings and select Location. In Location un-check the last one, the one about using WiFi NAD network.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cjwaggsrx8:
Ah man I cant believe you've gotten us this far this quick man who cares about signal bars.. I just despise touchwiz so much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
I am getting signal bars for wifi and mobile. I will keep an eye on it for a few days and report in on any issues and I will try and get a log if I can.

I will report in on GPS tomorrow morning.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mjs2011:
Wow! Congrats on the fixes. Are there even any bugs to squash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Okay so MMS won't send. Signal bars are wonky. Also seem to be missing the "Email" app for Exchange email.

Did a clean install.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cjwaggsrx8:
Grab the slim add on if you want exchange.. located in the op.. a link anyway
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Cool. Didn't know that Exchange was an addon with Slim....

Do I need "Extras?"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
Best bet is AIO_Addons, has everything you will need.

Just sent a pic to wife's phone and back to mine, no trouble. WiFi was on, both phone on sprint network. God I had forgo teen about sprints half ass MMS while at Verizon past 2 years, lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Yeah I got Exchange working.

Still no MMS either way. With and without wifi. :-/

Greetings!

Hello there!

First time Samsung user, coming over from HTC. I was previously checking out a ForceROM, and came across this thread and thought I'd give it a shot. I really like the setup, looks pretty spiffy, and I'm enjoying it immensely.

Just a couple of questions regarding this particular ROM, as I seem to notice a couple of things that have been driving me nuts:

Google+, Google Play store -> For some reason, I am getting connection timed out readings when I try to open these two apps up. I notice that if I'm on WiFi, it opens up fine - however, when I'm off WiFi, I can't seem to get a connection at all whatsoever. Opening Google Maps, as well as the Browser, I'm able to get some sort of connection. I'm able to reach out to other sites on the browser just fine.

Another query I had - is there a particular way to update the PRL to the latest iteration on this ROM? I was navigating around the menus in hopes of finding some sort of check to keep it up to date with the PRL in the future.

Thanks again! Keep up the splendid work. Very much enjoying the theme here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mjs2011:
Cool that your mms is working. Is there an issue with signal bars too? I seem to be reading conflicting reports on this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Yeah my signal bars are wonky too. MMS is borked for me after a clean install and before installing any apps, with or without wifi on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
Google+ in browser http://db.tt/whvzJrmJ

Google Play on 4g. http://db.tt/UpJa7Wfe

And browser @ Google + http://db.tt/2C3aJMjU

Did I get that right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mjs2011:
What do you mean by wonky? Do you mind posting a screenshot?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
very odd finding, after wiping, re-flashing it seems MMS will not send. going back to my backup to see what may be different. Phone was fine with a clean install, so was browser and all that.

yep, very strange. went back to my backup and sent N received MMS with no issue.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jayjay7411:
So I know this is a dumb question but is camera and video camera working?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cjwaggsrx8:
Yep
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mark.wayne:
Just a quick update regarding my issues above - I had thought that perhaps somehow, data was not working for me while on 3G at work. I did a complete wipe, and manually formatted my /system folder in recovery before re-flashing. While on 4G and 3G, it appears I've got my data connection back and am able to download from the Google Play Store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
New build comming soon, RIL fixed properly. Thanks noobnl ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
So why does yours work with MMS and mine does not after a clean install?

---------- Post added at 06:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 AM ----------

Wonky as in one or no bars when I'm 1/4 mile from the tower. Stock OS had full bars.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
Mine did not work after a clean install (MMS), something from a prior install hung around allowing it to work. New build is up, you can dirty flash it, or clean and everything should be better than last nights build :good: As far as the signal icons, even when it showed zero bars you should still have data. its just being reported wrong, will be corrected in due time.

http://d-h.st/31i

OP Updated to new build, post #3

also updated credits to reflect the sprint s4 device bring up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Downloading now. Will flash shortly.

Also, 3G keeps dropping and when I have it, it's godawful slow.

---------- Post added at 08:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 AM ----------

Just flashed today's build. Signal bars are fixed. Did a dirty flash also. I will test GPS later when I leave work... Didn't work this morning for me at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
Go to menu > Location Access > UN-check WiFi and mobile network location, then close

Open GPS Status, menu > tools > manage Agps state > click Reset.

open the same tools up in GPS Status but click Download this time.

Close App, open and you should get a lock.

If not you may need to do what some had to do on the s3. Make a nandroid, then flash a pure stock ROM, open GPS Status and get a solid lock for a good minute or so. Reboot recovery and restore your nandroid. then do the above steps if needed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Will try the bolded on the way home from work.

---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 AM ----------

Also, MMS still no workey :(

---------- Post added at 09:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------

Also cannot browse the play store while on 3G. Just says 'Connection Timed Out.'
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
I cant fix sprints ****ty network. Try in better coverage area, bet MMS will work then as well ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
I'm about 3 miles from Baltimore City and about 1 mile from BWI airport. I'm in a great coverage area... Now that the signal bars work I can see I have full signal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Wow I am having some bad luck with this ROM :(

Rebooted. Play Store works again but now it says my SD card is damaged and it won't read it.

Popped it into my laptop and the entire SD card is corrupt and has to be reformatted. I have an inkling that this may have been caused by the ROM... The card was perfectly fine before I rebooted the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] roninep:
I flashed another rom yesterday n it gave me a corrupt sdcard error message upon reboot and I couldn't see anything on it when I used esexplorer. I rebooted and it worked/recognized it again with all my files. Haven't had an issue since. I was using a new 64gb sandisk ultra.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Doesn't work in my laptop either which is why I had to totally reformat it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
perhaps you should stay on stock, factory stock. searching your 4k post and all of them are issues of X Y and Z on every ROM flashed.

To remind you this is a development thread and cluttering it up with posts that do not provide a LOGCAT along with steps to reproduce said issues are wasting time and space.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ckao:
LOVE this!!!! MMS works Phone calls work...

Happy Camper! So much smoother than the stock....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] prbassplayer:
I'd like to remind you guys that this is a development thread not a support thread. As in if things don't work, for whatever reason it could be, you need logs. Specially if no one else can reproduce the problem. So lets this be a general reminder to everyone ;).

I can't seem to get my exchange email account to work. Everything is fine on my work server but it keeps saying I can't sync to the server. Could it be the exchange app?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
Possible, we have made changes to the way email notifications are displayed in the notification pulldown for this app. Giving it the replay/archive options. I recall seeing something along these lines in my Galaxy Tab 2 thread as well.

Can you get me a log cat while trying to sync, in don't have a exchange account to test this. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ckao:
I've never done a log cat before can u pm me with the steps I am a total noon. Don't want to clog up the thread with noon questions.

I'll get it for u right now...once you pm me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Perhaps we should have a discussion thread then?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] prbassplayer:
That's totally up to the community and cordell I think ;).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ckao:
Nothing wrong with the Email App...I fixed it on my end. Thanks again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
I am making a discussion thread shortly in General, folks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
Looking and I do see failed do to connection time outs. RIL will continue to be improved, these logs will help with this process. my testing is all WiFi or 4G, so this may be why some are having issues with MMS and Play Store.

Guys, mark.wayne's post was awesome! Full of information that can be followed through the provided Logcat. When trying to report something please provide as much info as possible. And remember, Logcat or it didnt happen! :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jdebutts:
I dirty flashed today's revision and MMS works for me now. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Inline:
Quick question about LCD density!

I followed the instructions to change my DPI to 320, but now I want to move up to let's say 360, I'm supposed to revert back to stock DPI of 480, before changing it again, but there is no option for switching back to that, only like 213 and etc.

How do you go back to stock DPI? Would you just use the final step in the menu to change back 480?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jdebutts:
I have run into an issue with the dialer...the phone will make calls but there is no sound? has anyone else experienced the same?

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

okay .. fixed the issue with the phone .. i had turned on the xtra gain feature and apparently it's buggy.

Just disabled that feature and seems to work fine!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
The same place you changed it, go down to #6. From there choose custom. When I get to it Slim will be rocking a DPI of 365 or so ;)

Don't forget to go back and clear market data after the reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mark.wayne:
This may explain the issue I had last night with dialing my work phone from my personal phone (equipped with this ROM) - I couldn't hear anything at all, and my dialer kind of got 'stuck' and hung up at times, forcing me to power down/reboot. However, I did hear my work phone ring so it seems like it's doing the job, despite receiving no indications that I was properly dialing out at all. I just checked my phone, and I do have that extra gain feature set to 'off', which might explain why my calls worked earlier this morning after I did a full re-wipe and flash of the new build.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Inline:
Word!! Thanks, wasn't sure if you had to change it back through #1 for some special reason!

Thanks again! And yeah I'm rocking 320 right now, and it's nice but Pie and the keyboard become way to small for me, otherwise I'd keep it at 320! Time for 360 ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cjwaggsrx8:
This ROM rock my face off! Everything works!

Messages over 145 characters will not send, which is always a problem on AOSP roms but I can't find the split messages option in the settings for the stock messaging app, am I missing something or is not there?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] vboyz103:
Tried it. Great ROM however I'm missing all the gestures that stock ROM provided. Will those features be integrated?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Not until CM integrates them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
Lockscreen gestures were a part of CyanogenMod 6 and 7. When CM went to CM9 they were never ported over, ant havent been yet (CM10.1). Slim ROM is based on AOSP framework, not CyanogenMod, so even if CM were to port them over (wont happen) that doesnt mean they would be in Slim (automatically). Slim ROM does however use device trees from CyanogenMod, just like (nearly) EVERY source built ROM you will find here on XDA and or Rootz. The gestures found in the stock ROM are embedded deep within the TouchWiz framework and will NEVER be in Slim or CyanogenMod. To get gestures now you can install 3rd party apps that will act as "overlays". Some Launchers have gestures, such as Nova, included in Slim ROM ;)

hit menu --> nova settings --> gestures and buttons
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
Small change in todays build include

ability to control hardware key backlights: Always On, Always Off, and a few diff "second" profiles

can be found in menu>display>Touch Key Light Timeout

texts with over 160 characters are automatically converted to MMS, inlineboy pointed out that with the 3G issues these are not being sent. So for now the default for text over 160 are split. This will go back to MMS convert in due time. screenshot below

Noticed something curious today...

Got a data usage warning. Checked into it further and apparently Google Play Music has used 1.75GB of data in the last few days when I haven't even opened the app!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cris_epic:
Hey I really wanna flash this Rom, any major issues in the latest build?

Thanks

thekidd
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
Only if your agentfazexx :eek:

There is some reports of 3G being weak, but this is normal Sprint Not Now Network. Been told heavy media things like Facebook don't play well with 3G while in bad coverage area. This is all over the place with Sprint, lol. Aside from that its very stable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
Guess a link to the new build may be nice, lol :good: http://d-h.st/iPw
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cris_epic:
Hey about 3g speeds it's nothing new Sprint is known for having bad signal lol, even with this stock rom I think it's slow.

You think there's anyways of changing the data codes to 0000 like in the s2 I remember that's how you would get through the Sprint slow data speeds

thekidd
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
From here forward if you find some sort of issue and want to let me know about it, it MUST be reported with a LOGCAT and steps on how to reproduce the issue. I am adding instructions on how to get a LOGCAT in my signature. This is a development thread, not a place to post personal troubles. If your post does not include a LOGCAT it may be reported for removal. I dont mind you guys helping each other out, thats what we are all here for. Maybe in the future this policy can lax a bit, like my other threads here on XDA, maybe not. It sucks when 1 or 2 people ruin it for the rest of us.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Inline:
Great work, just flashed the new build this morning, and I can report that all my 1000000 character texts are going through fine! :good:

Going to try and grab you a logcat on MMS, on the last build I wasn't able to send/receive actually picture messages, sending would just stall forever and when receiving it was just say downloading indefinitely.

BUT with this 5/9 build, I'm able to to receive them perfectly but not send them! Getting closer haha! Just an update!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] atman8r:
This. +1, but I'm able to send MMS just fine for some reason? Sent 2 group messages, 2 were received. Sent 2 pics, 2 were received. I have no problems with this build at all! Might as well make it a release.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Inline:
Hmmm weird, I am able to receive them after the new build but not send them!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mjs2011:
Try sending one to yourself. Sometimes that fixes it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Delakit:
Hahahahaha. Epic.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] atman8r:
Scratch what I said earlier, Email doesn't seem to work, just force closes. I seem to remember something similar in CM10.1 on the s3...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Shoulon:
Sounds like I need me some Slim Bean
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Nut_House:
I'm noticing a bit of screen flickering. It's most noticeable in Dolphin, but do occasionally see it on the home screen. Not bad, but just enough to be noticeable. Seem to remember this was an issue on the SG3 (could be mistaken) but thought it had been resolved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
You can enable Developer Options and "Disable Hardware Overlays" this should stop this from happening. Being the GS3 and GS4 are using the same repo's I will have to be careful at what I change to solve problems like this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] atman8r:
I'm getting this weird problem now where my music won't go on to the next track after one is finished unless I unlock the phone. Weird.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cris_epic:
Hey yo I'm loving the Rom it's awesome feels so smooth and fast lol, quick question anyone mess with the govs and schedu. Yet? Can someone suggest which would be best settings for besT battery and performance? Thanks!

Is lockscreen weather available in this, or is that a CyanogenMod feature only?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] prbassplayer:
Get the dash clock add on for it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sweets55:
I'm trying to get rid of the dash clock on the lock screen but for some reason can't. Loving this ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cris_epic:
Hey how can I get you a log cat for the 3g issues it does seem to be downloading but it doesn't upload

Attached is an image from speed test

thekidd.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cordell12:
What would really help is to reboot and tell me if its is still the same. If so, restore a stock nandroid and run speed test and see how close the results are to Slim. Not sure how long you've been with Sprint but they are Notorious for a ****ty 3G network. You can have perfect signal and still not be able to DL crap, if the network is congested enough. Im not trying to say there is nothing wrong with 3G and our RIL, but it would just help to know how bad it is. As for a LOGCAT, its in my signature, or install BBQ Tools from Play Store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cris_epic:
Well before I flashed I did a speed test and i was getting 1mb down& upload didn't get screenshot tho

Yah I know Sprint sucks I'm overall happy tho, this Rom is beast lol

thekidd.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Nut_House:
That did it. Thanks. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] naterz:
Might not be rom specific. Had this happen to me the other day (just once) and I'm am on stock (rooted).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cjwaggsrx8:
Yo Cordell, you got any slimrom wallpaper packs stashed away some where? Been trying to find some searched everywhere...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Floppy454:
So has anybody using this ROM noticed any type of speed or efficiency improvement compared to stock touchwiz? I'm assuming this will be faster once the kinks are worked out since all the bloat will be gone. Am I correct in saying that?

EDIT: A few questions. Is a wipe required to use this ROM? And if so, do I just make a NANdroid backup? Also, if I decide to go back to stock, do I just have to flash a stock touchwiz ROM?
