listen....this is a forum where people can report on issues...your reply really doesn't add to the discussion. As much as I want to tell some around here almost the same I know it won't help....just saying
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
You know if you feel so strongly about this, there's a million other roms to try. It's a free ROM, would you complain so much about free food? I've donated over $200 to this guy and even when I've had issues with his work I didn't whine about when am I gonna get a stable release, I figured out my issues myself. I've used every release since I got this phone as a daily driver with no problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
I came late to the party but I have been using Hyperdrive since RLS10 and have had vitually no issues with this rom.

My Wifi, Bluetooth, SMS, MMS, Email, and everything else I use has been flawless for me.

I had one issue with one of the Note3 apps that I filally figured out that it didn't play well with Xposed/Wanam and have since stopped using Xposed and no issues.

I had another issue with Slow WiFi and after searching the internet found that it is a Samsung thing and also found instructions on how to make just a few small changes to my router configuration the issue was solved.

This is a great ROM and I have been comfotably using it as my daily driver and have never had a random reboot problem either.

I have used this rom (RLS16.1) on two phones as well, an MDK bootloader phone and an ME7 Safestrap phone and my experience was the same with both.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Clearly we have some hyperdrive users who issues. ..but I have used hd since r 12. ..I am a safestrap user and the issues I have had has been negligible. ...I don't overly select options...I don't overly customize...I always do fresh installs of all apps...I have always flashed cleanly...I believe most hd issues result from users not doing any of the things I do...I avoid the pitfalls....

I can't find the thread but this week I read it on XDA in the s4 Verizon side that the /system/fonts has to have some files replaced. All you need to do is find the files and replace lol. Sorry for not finding the thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
I find that 16.1 is a very stable build. Wifi, bluetooth work great. Best release since about 10 . something. Great battery life now that it has settled in. Occasionally fc's with Apex launcher freeze and waking up from app called "Bedside". Volume hacks work for earphones but not speaker. Way, Way, way better than stock or most anything else that I have found. I think the problems folks are having stem from variances in the apps that they are using and inherent problems with Android. I am very happy with this rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markmi300:
Which xposed module? I've looked but don't see anything for restoringthe write access. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
The SD Card was an issue that was indeed broken by KitKat but as far as I know [MENTION=642589]sbreen[/MENTION] built the fix into 16.1.

I had the issue with 16 and there was an app in the play store that fixed it.

Since going to 16.1 I haven't had the issue and never installed the fix.

I haven't had any SD Card write issues with 16.1

Possibly the last note from me (applause inferred):

I just had my 50th birthday. I've spent 32 of those years in development. I have yet to meet a solid coder who doesn't appreciate feedback. Praise is nice but it doesn't really solve a problem unless the problem is ego. Coders driven by ego tend to not go anywhere. NOTE: This perspective doesn't change one iota if the code in question is paid or free. For the coder, the code is their child and they want to see it be the best it can be.

So, to everyone who felt it was necessary to yell about "*****ing" at a post noting a recent history of frustration, please recognize that such commentary really serves no purpose. The good coders who provide free products do so because they enjoy doing it.

In business, I've yet to meet ANYONE who owns a business that only wants to hear the praises. Their business depends, essentially so, on knowing what the pulse of the people are. Tactics like those shown in response to me do only one thing: They drive off large numbers of people and keep them from ever sharing their experiences. The end result is usually catastrophic for the owner/coder. All they see is praise so they assume everything's peachy. When suddenly no one but the same few loud chorus of fans remain -- the item falls into obscurity and fails. I've seen it countless times.

Lastly, I made the switch back to stock last night and that works for me. I've always been on non-stock ROM's but with the S4, I guess it's just not meant to be for me. Thanks Scott, for the effort, and thanks to those of you who get it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markmi300:
Thanks for the reply. I re-installed 16.1 again last night, still trying to fix the ringtone issue where the tone only rings once and then goes silent. I'll flash again and use stock kernel instead of ktoonz. Hopefully this will correct it.

EDIT: Re-flashing 16.1 and using stock kernel fixed the problem. The apps can now write to the external SD card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] madtork:
Is it possible to restore the quick setting buttons in the pull down notification area where we can turn and off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc? Every time I restore with titanium, it somehow reverts to the configuration I had on the last hyperdrive Rom which didn't have all of the same quick setting buttons that the new ROM offers.

Thank you in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wwonka69:
Tired of people insulting the maker of this rom which is free.

Sorry if I seem harsh but people who expect no issues should stay on Stock.

This is probably the most solid Rom I have had the pleasure of running.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
This is just a silly write up. I follow this thread to try and help people, there's just as much as people posting issues and getting answers ( not always nicely considering its mostly repeat questions) then there is praise, the praise usually coming after those issues have been solved.

I don't doubt that Scott takes pride in his work and wants it all to be flawless, but he's been stretched pretty thin cooking and supporting the biggest Roms for 3 generations of Samsung and now HTC flagships, on all variants.

What type of changes did you make to your router that make wifi faster on your Samsung?

Hyperdriven KittyKat
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swc2001:
So I have seen some people say the battery life is WAY better and others that say it stinks.... Now I know all battery issues are not because of the developer.... if they exist in this Rom they are because of Kit Kat.

however with that disclaimer said.... Does any one know if the 16.1 Hyperdrive Rom does alot better than the stock rom as far as battery goes?

I usually run stock but the battery being so bad it is pushing me this way.

So I just wanted someone who knows.... to give me the low down on the battery in this newest Rom.

Thanks so Much!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
I was on both 16 and 16.1 of this Rom. It has been my favorite. Unfortunately, I seen no improvement over say Surge's more "Stock" KitKat. Both the same. Android System & OS suck up a lot of battery life leaving me a day shorter on battery and an hour shorter on screen on time as opposed to this ROM on MK2 or MJ7 RLS15.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 90c4:
After playing around with Greenify and Battery Doctor, I'm getting decent battery life. Some apps were total CPU hogs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blindfaith76:
I was having terrible battery life on RLS16.1 with the stock kernel. so I reflashed it with Ktoonz Kernel and have had great battery life ever since. (no wipe)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrv331:
I think the issue is to many variables with these phones. Both this rom and srgs stock suck for me on battery life. It's a KK issue. I'm a SS user on NC2 and Ktoonz kernel causes random reboots and lock ups. Seems what fixes an issue for one causes issues for others. There are very few 4.4.2 roms for us SS users so pick one with the least issues and use it. For me it's HD all the way.

1. Flash I545VRUEMK2_Downgrade.tar.md5 --> Should no longer fail at cache; I accidentally included it in the first tar I uploaded but when i noticed the error I didn't think to much of it because i knew that step 3 would take care of it. Anyways no longer an issue.

I have "Greenify" and the donation pack. It has not helped me enough to say it has been of any value since on KitKat unfortunately. I've tried some other Battery saving apps to no avail.

This isn't a choice for me as I have to stick with stock kernel since on SafeStrap. :(

Is this something new that SS'rs can use a custom kernel. It has always been said that we had to be on "Stock". Hrmm :confused:

[MENTION=5539797]cobra7361[/MENTION] Could you drop me a PM also. I have Greenify & bought donation and use it to freeze quite a few apps but doesn't seem to help me. Maybe I'm not freezing the correct ones. :silly:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zmedhaug:
SERIOUSLY what does it take to get wifi working?

This is obviously a user error but I'm on my 3rd rom here!

Here is what I have tried:

I'm on MK2 I upgraded using Surges method keeping root. I flashed this. Flashed modules. Then supersu.

Booted. Waited ten minutes. Booted again. Setup.

Tried wifi. Didn't work. Changed the ro.securitystorage to true. Didn't work. Changed it back didn't work.

Started over by Odin back to stock mk2. Repeated but tested wifi after upgrading to nc5. It worked. Flashed this. Doesn't work. What do I need to do??????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
What modules are you flashing?

It could be dependent on your bootloader MK2, NC2, NC5 on which modules are needed, don't hold me to that but I am somewhat certain that is the case.

I'm on NC2 bootloader and flashed Giglilios All in one modem/module labeled for nc2 and I beleive nc5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zmedhaug:
can you point me in the direction to that download. Also I did flash the modules as stated above. I used hashcodes maybe I'm using the wrong one. Can you point me to the right module for mk2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
Sorry I missed you post last night.

If I remember right when you unzip the downgrade zip the file names are prefixed with where they go...

AP, CP, etc

It's been awhile since I done it on a ssfestrap phone and the instructions on the page seem to have changed since I done it.

The downgrade section used to say that if you are on unrooted NC5 that you had to downgrade to MK2 in order to gain root.

Then using the files from the thread upgrade to rooted NC5.

I just watched the video again trying to get some answers for you. If you haven't watched it I would do so, it should make things clearer for you.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eheinzeiii:
Thanks. I thought that same thing with the file names but they are the same names as on the instructions, without the AP, CP.... I think it's AP... and I'll watch the video then as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zmedhaug:
i do get everything to work after upgrading to nc5. wifi, root. got it all. i install hyperdrive and lose wifi. i am going to try this here and see if it is the stock kernel being changed. its just frustrating. i had an mdk device and used triangle away but it was an early version and it bricked my device. lol. now i have to safestrap and nothing seems to work ever.

i do thank you for your trying to help. i just dont get how others are fixing the problem. i looked and it is stated a dozen times in this forum but there seems to not be a fix.

bingo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it worked. Now if someone is having problems getting wifi to work, I made a zip file but take no credit for making the fix or creating a zip file. go to this post and thank this guy here

i have not tested this. the only way i could is if i started over. so if someone cannot get wifi going try to flash this in safestrap. if not just go to his post here and follow his instructions. worked for me.

will someone PM me if the zip i made works? i'll write a guide because there is a 100+ questions on how to fix wifi on safestrap. I may write one tomorrow anyway pointing people to this post.

all you have to do it push it and it will hibernate any apps that you have selected instead of having to go into

greenify everytime....i push it ALL the time...everytime i use my phone when i am done and bout to turn the

screen off i hit it and go into task manager and kill everything that way too...i do this EVERYTIME..

Glad to hear that I'm not the only one having the issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wally44:
I also have tried battery calibrate (BC) and greenify and turned all experimental options on with only minor success. Even at the moment when run the GSam battery monitor the battery level is 100% but projects only 3:30 of battery life (which isn't correct) while yesterday it projected 15 hours or more which was about right. But basically, I find the most useful measure is the temperature of the phone which almost always is warm to the touch while this was uncommon on HD15. In fact, as I've mentioned in a few earlier posts, sometimes when I plug the phone in to charge, it will shut down due to overheating. This never happened on HD15. I may try the Koontz kernel to see if that helps.

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

If one has to do this to extend the battery life, it is clear that there is a real problem with the system. There should be no reason one has to keep shutting apps down to preserve battery life, when this was not required in an earlier release. The overall behavior of the phone will be affected by doing this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra7361:
I am just posted what i have tdone to try and help...do whatever you want..

and on KitKat YES you have to do something..

My wife took the OTA and her phone is just plain stock....no root no nothing...

She gets 3-4 days from her battery....she gets the battery i got on 4.3...

So i dont know...I just know what i HAD to do to get bettery battery and it worked...

with out greenify and everything else...i would get about 10 hours and thats even at idle...

On kitkat Android OS and Android system always run and it never gets a chance to sleep or` idle....something is always waking the phone up

That is where greenify comes in....IMO

Lost Root?

I was on MK2 4.3. Followed Surge's instructions and got to NC5 rooted. Installed HD1.1 onto the stock slot (full wipes) and when it finished I hit reboot (didn't know whether quitting installation was bad). Never got to flash modules.zip.

What likely happened and what can I do to fix it?

It's been posted a few times. You'll have to start from scratch. ( Odin back to stock, downgrade, root, upgrade). When you flash the Rom, don't reboot. Then flash superuser and NC5 modules.
