[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WhiteSites:
I downloaded the 17 Nightly last night and tried it. They have quite a few bugs still. Lots of Lag at times, and of course the camera issues.

However when the camera was on I did find the autofocus to be faster, and shutter was much faster too. Thats one thing I don't like about the stock camera APP. It seems like there is a 1/2 second shutter lag. I can tell it promise, but I would not consider it a daily driver at this point.

One other thing quadrant scored about 6200 with CM 10.1.

I am running Wicked v2, and I am getting 12500 in quadrant.

Don't get me wrong I love the layout of CM ROMs, but at this point stockish ROMs are much more stable and consistent.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamnotkurtcobain:
Can you try something for me?

Edit: go to stock browser (you have to have a few own local bookmarks) and into bookmarks and scroll up down and left/right. Does it lag too? Mine lags like hell...

Guess the graphics aren't perfect yet.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WhiteSites:
In general the ROM lagged pretty badly.

I am already back on Wicked v2. I don't have time to switch back to CM10.1 at the moment.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamnotkurtcobain:
What especially was laggy? App drawer, scrolling, swiping..

Would like to know what's the reason..

Anybody?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kirdroid:
No lag here...how can this be laggy compared to touchwiz?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamnotkurtcobain:
A really debloated touchwiz rom with a great kernel is smoother (for now).

I'll make a video..

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GrndSers-Rcng:
Absolutely no lag here... My daily since I bought the phone... Of course there are gonna be bugs, even stock got bugs... You have to keep in mind of that before you flash these ROMS... Im even impressed that they got most of the basics like GPS working... I tried TW for a few hours and couldnt stand it specially the drawer icon being stuck on the right, hate that, and hate the fact that its still looks a bit like iOS... Hopefully the GE phone its an identical hardware match as ours so that when source for that phone is released we will benefit from it... Patience is a virtue...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DizDroid:
Lol stock touchjiz ROM is faster than cm10. :what::banghead:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lostmimic:
Hmm anyone else seeing this? Tried it with the nightly from the 19th and the 18th and even tried redownloading it. Fails pretty much instantly :(

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "jfltetmo" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "jfltetmo"

Status 7

Installation Aborted :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamnotkurtcobain:
Yes if you debloat and tweak it, it is. With a great kernel and android knowledge for system tuning you get a smoother experience for now.. (Nova Launcher is a must)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lostmimic:
Bad CMW, TWRP worked correctly
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WhiteSites:
Transitions between apps lagged, Camera lagged but everyone already knows that.

It also seemed it would get hung up and didn't multitask well.

I recommend you run a Quadrant Benchmark on it.

CM 10.1 is giving me about 6000

Wicked v2 is giving me about 12500

Thats a pretty huge difference in performance.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Narwhal73:
My old (preordered in July) stock 16 GB Nexus 7 (4.2.2) which was stolen approximately 3 weeks ago was returned to me today with a flat battery. The thief said, "I could not get into your tablet to wipe its data. I'd like to return it to you and apologize for trying to make a quick buck."

During the three weeks it was missing, I remotely disconnected my Google account from the device by enabling two-step verification, and bought a new 32 GB (NO SCREEN SEPARATION ISSUES :D ).

He handed it to me, and promptly left the scene. Ecstatic, I rushed to the nearest outlet to charge the sucker up and use it again (I was thinking "WHOO HOO! TWO NEXUSES, NOW I CAN EXPERIMENT AND CRAP!"). However, while I was expecting to see my data, I found the device to have been wiped. The thief said that he had never had any experience with android devices, which leads me to believe that there is a wipe feature built into the Nexus.

Is there one or did this guy lie and actually get into it, steal whatever he needed and wipe? Should I be concerned? I checked the serial number and it IS the same device.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRX120:
Well I know on iPhone after 10 failed attempts it wipes data but on android, I know it can disable your device but it usually makes you enter your password. If you disconnected your account its possible it wiped the device as well

Sent from my Nexus 4 @1.72 GHz on Stock 4.2.2
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
The stock recovery wipes everything and you can launch it without the OS, so no screen-unlock password is needed to do that.

OTOH, starting up the boot loader and then the recovery is not obvious to someone without android familiarity, but the instructions to do so are certainly readily available on the internet (e.g. here)

The story is rather odd - if you use the stock recovery to wipe the tablet, it is no longer locked by a password or gesture, so it is not obvious why someone that could wipe the device with the stock recovery would be unable to simply start the device up and notice that it was ready for configuration.

Then again, from your story it sounds like the thief isn't the brightest bulb in the room.

Either that or he was a CIA/Mossad agent and they planted hardware bugs in your device with the intent of returning it to you all along. :D :D
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Narwhal73:
Lol, excellent theory! But my question is, what would a CIA agent want with a Canadian teenager that has a love of android?

Anyway, I'm going to try to find out more about it on Monday.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thangbom:
Dear all, since S4 has an infrared port, had also the intention to port Mobeam (a barcode manager and beamer) to the S4. However, in this first release, they did not integrate it to the device. I therefore would like to ask if anybody is using Mobeam, or any similar software that does the same thing? Any ideas or recommendation are warmly welcome. Thank you

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dagroth:
Hi guys. First, trust me that I have looked at every post I could find regarding this issue and the reason I am starting a new thread it because the fixes are not working for me. First, my phone:

Droid Razr HD Dev Edition, I believe it's the T926, though it doesn't boot now so.....

I had rooted this phone with the Droid Razr HD Utility 1.1. I had it running on T-Mobile fine for quite some time (only HSA speed or whatever they call it, but that's fine I'm out of range for anything better anyway). I had Superuser installed and something like root keeper I think it was called. Anyway my point is everything worked great.

I started getting this popup that seemed to say Motorola wanted to do an update. Now I had ignored the update on my phone for a while as I didn't want to go through the process just yet. Finally I gave in and I let the Motorola from my Windows PC try to push an update. That was the last my phone has booted.

So now all I get is Fastboot. Now if I do the buttons and manually go to fastboot it looks normal and I connect USB and it looks fine. But if I try to run the HD Utility 1.10, 1.20 both fail, RSDLite 5.6 and 6.0 both fail. All I can come up with is No valid PIV block in sp for system. The phone does seem to respond when I try the utility but all I get is failures and it clearly says the phone is locked. RSDLite has no such luck and immediately fails.

I still have the original XT926 xml I used and I also downloaded a VZW_XT926. I'm really SOL here guys and I would so appreciate any help.

I guess the last bit of info I can think to add is that when I plug USB in fresh what looks like Motorola software (what messed me up to begin with) pops up and tells me it wants to repair the phone. Of course like an idiot I've tried that as well.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolloser:
My guesses are; you are using an outdated utility, outdated fastboot files, outdated RSD lite (there is 6.1 and higher out) and/or your system is corrupted. So make sure all of your tools and files are up to date and report back if you get any further.

Were you on ICS or JB before the update nag? Pretty sure if you were on Jellybean you will have to wait for an xml to be released, I remember reading something like this on DroidRzr.com
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dagroth:
I was on JB so I'll do some more research on that. I saw a 6.1 for RSD but skipped it due to reg req. I'll hunt it down. How do you update Fastboot? I was just updating Razr HD Utility and letting it do it's thing. I have 1.2 now and it has Fastboot inside. Is that what you mean or am I missing a step?

Thanks for your help.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolloser:
After Jellybean there needed to be new Fastboot files because of some security change in Android, the newest utility most likely has it. I found this file

If you are still stuck after that I suggest signing up on DroidRzr.com and joining the chatroom, those guys know far more than I!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dagroth:
Just an update that nothing I have tried has worked and I remain bricked. I've updated the DroidRAZR Utility, RSDLite, tried numerous images... still bricked. No valid PIV block in SP for system.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dagroth:
Well I finally got it working. I tried as much as I could find, RSD 6.1.4, Droid RAZR Utility 1.2, many many many images since my original wasn't working. Anyway I'll skip all that didn't work.

My problems got compounded when my battery died. The internet goes on about how bad this is. True to form when I found and tried to manually push an image with fastboot I kept getting errors about the batter. Now this phone is the developers edition and I read somewhere about how you can buy this special cable. Like most of you I have dozens of USB cables and at one point my original was misplaced. Ah, your catching on now aren't you? I went hunting and dug up my original cable and the blasted thing just booted right up. No re-imaging, nothing, just booted right up.

Now I "had" successfully (today) sent a fastboot of a new system.img from the Droid RAZR Utility 1.2 and checking my system I do see that indeed that is the img I am on. So this may have been a two fold rescue.

So in the hopes it helps any other poor sap out there. Here is how I fixed my bricked Droid RAZR HD xt926 that had a near dead battery.

Boot into AP Fastboot

On windows computer, navigated to folder where I had extracted Droid_RAZR_HD_Utility_1.20

fastboot flash system system.img >>This worked

fastboot flash boot boot.img >> this failed

I then dug up my original cable, plugged directly into wall adapter and voila - it booted up!

Unfortunately I think I'm on JB now, but hell at least my phone is working again!

Thanks for the replies, thanks for your hard work tearing these phones down and giving us tools to work with and thanks to the *** *** internet for being so awesome and giving us so much at our finger tips!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ô¿ô:
Unbricked

I was trying to load a different ROM (running 4.4.2) so I could unlock the bootloader and root and hard bricked my phone with the same error message as a result of a failed flash. Using the fastboot command (fastboot flash system system.img) I was able to load the system.img from VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF_SVC.xml and now am booting successfully once again.

Dagroth, you pulled my fat outta the fire! Many thanks. I hope this message helps others.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joemagistro:
Soo i went over an old patch that i had for my GS3 to find out exactly what files were swapped and replaced from sprints verson..

and this is what i came up with...

system/lib.............

libnfc_ndef.so

libnfc_jni.so

libnfc.so

system/lib/hw

nfc.MSM8960.so

system/etc

nfcee_access.xml

system/app

NFC.apk

NFCTest.apk

.........................................................................................

With them files swapped onto our Tmobile builds, with the addition of build.prop edited to sprints Galaxy nexus, Google wallet in fact worked>>

I went and took the same approach with our Galaxy S4.. except some files were a little different..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I started wallet up with no tweeks/mods and got an error that its not currently available for my device... I then modded the build.prop to...

ro.product.model=SPH-L720

ro.product.name=jfltespr

ro.product.device=jfltespr

I chose sprints galaxy s4 build because i dont wanna lose s voice drive by changing my build to a nexus.. I wanna keep all features working..

I opened wallet up and it did not say that same warning. This time it said something about insecure elements and force closed. So obviously like the S3, a tweak needs to be made..

in the system/app folder, i replaced..

NFCNci.apk

NFCNci.odex

NFCTest.apk

NFCTest,odex

system/lib

libnfc-nci.so

libnfc-nci_jni.so

(there were only 2 files in this folder regarding NFC)

system/lib/hw

nfc_nci.MSM8960.so

system/etc

nfcee_access.xml

.............................................................................................................

after all that, i rebooted.. Clicked on wallet, and wallet opened and prompted me to turn NFC on. When i did, settings force closed.. if i turn nfc on from the pulldown bar, it wont turn on. Sooo NFC is borked....

then i did the same thing MINUS the system/app files since maybe they have nothing to do with the permissions in wallet. i rebooted and now NFC works.. turns on, and does what its supposed to, but when i open wallet, it force closes. I then cleared wallet data, and the same thing,. it freezes and force closes.. I then uninstalled it and installed it again, same problem.

this is where i stand and because i am NOT a dev and dont know the first thing about what they do, i am now at a standstill. It was an honest effort of copying the same method used on the s3. If any devs sees anything wrong with i did, feel free to tell me, or pickup where i left off lol.

Any help would be appreciated . Thanks guys. I realize not many people have this device yet, but i wanted to post this to get the attention!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] movieaddict:
Im so glad u brought this up!! i brought this up earlier but no one paid attention to it. Would love to see google wallet on this phone as i also had it on my s3. Maybe something to do with knox security on phone?

joemagistro, did u replace the tmobiles S4 files with the files from the Sprint S4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joemagistro:
All those current files that i listed were swapped over from the sprint version... I just chose those files based off of what i used for my galaxy s3... everything used was for the sprint s4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XeoNoX:
did u swap from a odex to odex or a deodexed to deodexed version of TW??

note: sawpping deodexed into odex would possibly cause FC's or stuck at TMO boot. btw, if u havent already i recommend installing a clockwormod recovery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joemagistro:
odex to odex....... i think if it were deodexed, there wouldnt be 2 files per app.. right??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] movieaddict:
could be so cool,if we could get this to work on our s4! I actually have to pull out my wallet at starbucks and mcd's now...LOL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XeoNoX:
yes u are right, i am just making sure.

if u are up for it i can give u some suggestions, do this at your own risk although the worst thing to happen will be that u have to ODIN stock firmware.

please make a nandroid backup before u try this and also install [RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.3.2 or TWRP for the TMO S4..being proficient with ADB will help also but not necessary. MAKE SURE TO

MANUALLY BACKUP

your

EFS

folder, i normally just add the EFS folder to ZIP using root explorer and save it to my PC.

ill post back in about 20 mins once download is finished, in meanwhile u can do above if u wish. let me know if u are interested in trying.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joemagistro:
the EFS issue is with the s4 also??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XeoNoX:
its always a good idea to back it up just as a precautionary measure

i posted there to have him look at my thread here to see what i have done, and hopefully he can help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XeoNoX:
Try the following in the EXACT ORDER OF INSTRUCTIONS:

BACKUP your phone using Nandroid and backup your EFS folder just in case.

uninstall any version off Google wallet u have installed and be sure to clear data and cache when uninstalling.

change your build.prop to reflect the following:

ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro

u may try the sprint s4 build.prop but im not sure yet if it will work, i guess u can experiment:

ro.product.model=SPH-L720
ro.product.name=jfltespr
ro.product.device=jfltespr

reboot after changing build.prop and saving with PROPER FILE PERMISSIONS

since u are running the odexed android system swap the following from the Odexed TMO S4 with the Odexed Sprint S4 files and be sure to SET PROPER FILE PERMISSIONS

system/app

----------

NFCNCi.apk

NFCNCi.odex

reboot and install google wallet and let me know what happens.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joemagistro:
doing that right now..

im gonna start with backing everything up...

then im gonna compile them files in a flashable zip... gonna flash it, and then well see... ill get back to you shortly
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ogdobber:
use the galaxy nexus build prop first for testing, we know that works....eventually once wallet gets working you can go back to the stock build.prop anyways

how did you "replace" the files? flash them? or use a file explorer....I am going to guess you used a file explorer other than root explorer and your permissions are wrong. from recovery you can use the (fix permisions) and that will sort them...

(or start over with root explorer)

oh yeah, if you are "testing" twrp, go get clockwork

going to need a logcat once it gets close....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joemagistro:
UPDATE.. xeonox...

here is the flashable file i brewed together with the exact files to replace in which you stated

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pemlf59xrtckj41/GS4walletfixx.zip

you guys are more then welcome to download it and try for yourself or even see the files that i swapped over to confirm i did everything right, however i am certain that i did...

anyways i flashed it..... downloaded google wallet.. opened it.... it tells me that NFC is turned off and to turn it on...... went to settings, and seen that nfc toggle was off... I turned it on and Settings force closes..... i try to turn NFC on from the toggles up top and it wont turn on... Soo same issue as when i did it the first time i posted... hmmm
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joemagistro:
thank god i took your advice and backed up.. otherwise ide be ODINing right now back to stock lol..

soo wallet aside, something is causing NFC not to work, and i believe its the actual files themselves in the system/app folder
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joemagistro:
and to confirm NFC breaking, i flashed this file again, however with the system/apps untouched.....

NFC now works again..

HOWEVER

Wallet force closes when you try to open it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XeoNoX:
its very important that the permissions are correct. did u check using root explorer or similar app to make sure the permissions were correct?

I live out in the country in a dead spot and before I couldn't make calls on my EVO LTE without the connection dropping, now I can actually make calls, data is still horrible, but I can live with that.

Before I couldn't get LTE in my office, now while the connection sometimes jumps between 4G or 3G I can mostly use 4G and data on my Sprint is actually useable now.

Initially I was having buyers remorse paying $600 off contract, but having use able LTE is worth that alone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jejb:
+1. We also live out in the country and my Evo 4G LTE would often drop phone calls, especially if I was in the basement of our house. So far, the S4 seems much better about that. Call quality is overall better, too.
