So if I'm on MDK I don't have to worry about safestrap or any of the other 'extra' steps? This would be good news and a surprise (since I haven't kept up with the thread like I should have been...)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
Correct. If you're on MDK you're good to go. No Safestrap required.

I got rid of it by switching my recovery from CWM to TWRP. I hated it every time I rebooted, that stupid lock. But once I switched recovery it went back to stock splash screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
Thanks r_hippy. I actually have the regular exchange version installed since I need it for work. This is weird issue as it never occurred previously. The air view preview works on my gallery and on text message. This is the first time I see this happening on exchange email. I wiped Cache and delvik Cache and reflashed the rom to see if that helped, but I still have the same issue.

Can anyone confirm air. View working on their email client properly or do they have similar issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Grab the mail apk from the zip (rom)

(the one you didn't choose on install)

Push it to system/app/ to see if it changes..

This is all I can think of
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
Tried it and still no go. Did another flash of the rom and still no go. This one is definately a weird one and I'm curious if this is a rom bug or something else conflicting in my setup. It wouldn't make sense for it to work or text messages but not email.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Sync more emails and see if it's just that one email.. I just noticed it doesn't work on every txt message.

Might be doing the same on your end
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
I have 1 month worth of work emails synced, both Hotmail and optimum email synced as well. All have the same issue. No issue with the gallery and text message. Right now just isolated to email.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] arcrox:
Do you have any accessibility services enabled? I've found that breaks the email air view popup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
You sir are a great help. The pie control built into the rom I can never get working properly. I had downloaded pie pro which requires the accessibility to be turned on. After shutting it off, my air view works on email client again. The you for the find! I can live with pie pro turned off for now..... Hope Scott can tackle the pie control issue in the next build. Other than that, no complaints again.

Thank you all for your help .!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] arcrox:
Glad you fixed the issue. For pie controls, you can use LMT: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330150

If I want a completely clean install of only this rom on my phone, must I use Odin to flash the md5 to it after doing a full wipe?

Loss of default Home settings?

Hello all, I have been running on 14 for a while now and just recently have had a huge issue with my nova launcher not sticking as the default... unsure if this is a bug I wanted to ask if anyone else has had the same issue. By using nova I can run a 280 DPI desktop appearance for more on screen room.

Thank you!

U thinking of getting a s5 [MENTION=642589]sbreen[/MENTION]?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
really disappointed personally
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Yea I was thinking getting it or wait for the note 4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
I don't know what to do lol I was planning on getting the s5 all the way up until the leaks came out yesterday morning. I don't want to go back to the phablet scene
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thuddome:
I was at first but realizing that the S4 was so well designed they would be foolish to go in a different direction.

There is some cool new stuff:

Waterproof up to 3 feet for 30 minutes

2800mAh Battery

Fingerprint scanner

New Textured back

16Meg camera

More everything (Ram, Storage, etc)

New S Health apps and capabilities

When the S4 came out there were a lot of critics complaining it was too gimmicky with the motion and eye functions. I think Samsung decided to not over-do it with that kind of thing. I would have liked to see a metal case. Hell I want my phone bullet-proof if possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
I may still get the s5 IMA wait 1st tho
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
I'm just going to break this down to play devil's advocate, nothing personal.

Waterproof- coolest thing about it. Kudos to Samsung, it's about time somebody other than Sony adds this to their flagships.

2800mah battery- Dumb. Could have and should have been bigger. Motorola fit a 3500mah battery in the Droid Maxx (granted it's embedded), LG fit a 3000mah battery in the G2 (they say it's embedded but it's technically as easy to remove as our battery). Samsung's significantly larger than both those companies, I was expecting to see some innovation here. Also, the odd shape of the new battery has me worried about how aftermarket battery companies like Anker and ZeroLemon can make an extended battery that isn't really odd looking.

Fingerprint Scanner- Pure firepower for the iZombies. Yeah, I know Apple didn't do it first but we all see what Samsung is doing here. Iris scanner would have been cool innovation, not this.

New textured back- New textured back is still made of plastic. You can already get dimpled back covers on casefanatic for our phone. The back get's covered with a case anyway, which is why I never really cared about an aluminum body.

16mg camera- They did really good here. Isocell looks promising. I wish they could make pretty camera software like Nokia, but I'll take function over design.

More everything (ram, storage, etc.)- This just isn't true at all, did you look at the specs? It's still 2gb ram, which is plenty, but still the same. It actually has marginally less storage than the s4. They still come in 16gb/32gb options and I believe they said the s5 software is about 300mb larger so you get 300mb less internal storage.

New S-health stuff- Samsung said they wanted to do avoid the gimmicky this year, which I respected. Then they added all this crap. A heart rate monitor? You want to tell me a heart rate monitor in my phone isn't a gimmick? Hilarious.

EDIT: And don't even get me started on the bezels.

I mean going from the s3 to the s4, they added a screen that was .2 inches larger in a body that was the same height but even narrower, thinner, and lighter.. They even added a 500mah larger battery.

s4 to s5? Screen is only .1 inches larger, pixel density actually being reduced, in a taller, wider, thicker and heavier body. Battery only gets 200mah larger.

Now my R14 S4 (MDK base) which has been running very well for several weeks as started to randomly reboot, as others have reported. It typically freezes up in an app (different each time) and then reboots. It has happened about 4 times today. Do I need to go back and reflash the ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Well I kno I'm upset that I got the old gear. I want the new one now and glad the did away with that damn nipple on the wristband lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
If you're going to sell it I would do it as soon as possible, aftermarket Gears were going for $200 but after BestBuy had that half-off sale on them last week I would expect a used one to really drop in price. I want to wait for a review to see how much they improved battery life on the new one, but seeing Gears out in the wild really makes me feel like my Pebble is ancient technology lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] steveperrry:
It was suggested to me to try flash ktoonz kernel. I flashed it on mine too see if it makes a difference but it's only been a couple of days. You could flash it and see if it helps or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Try going into recovery and clearing cache/dalvik first. See if it helps. After all the international ROM's I've been trying I'm thinking the rebooting is a 4.3 problem. Actually HD is the only 4.3 rom that gave me no reboots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
My girl loves it she using mines ATM. Lol I'll sell it to her for $100 and get the gear 2. Yea the look of the pebble interface looks old as hell. Lol

Galaxy s5 rom

Will this be updated with features from the galaxy s5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mlin:
The success of this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=si.modula.android.instantheartrate&hl=en suggest that the HRM in the S5 isn't a "gimmick." Of all the S-software, S-health seems to be one of the most popular and most used. Despite what critics had to say yesterday, a large number of people want a phone that will help them stay fit.

I was disappointed at first view of the S5, but I think Samsung (and smartphones in general) have gotten to a place where upgrades will be less drastic and that said, I think Sammy did a pretty good job with the S5, especially the camera. The one thing I was hoping for was a new form factor, but I think Samsung is wise to stick with their current materials; they're inexpensive, light weight, allow more shock absorption, and don't cause signal attenuation.

As an ex S4 user and current N3 user, after seeing the S5, I look forward to getting the N4 in the Fall.

Let's be clear here the S5 is water RESISTANT not PROOF. Big difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
it's a gimmick, you have apps like that one that already does this, it's a cool little feature they use as an excuse for innovation.

like i said i didn't ask for an aluminum body because i don't want one, but a new form factor should have happened

the camera and water resistance are the only improvements.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mlin:
Yes, but said apps require you to place your finger on the camera lens, frequently smudging up the lens and thus a tad inconvenient. In the true definition of a gimmick, the HRM and the way its been presented don't fit into the definition.

I'm curious, if you were heading up the design team, how would you have changed the form?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Hope once they release the source code and blah blah blah for the s5 breen will be able to port the cam in his HD RLS
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
The camera software really wouldn't help us on the S4. We don't have the right hardware for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wally44:
I've tried clearing the cache and flashed the ktoonz kernel to see how it goes. Thanks for the suggestions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
It was presented as the big innovator, but it's advantage is that it saves you from having to wipe the camera lens? I used to work at a gym, I'm not a stranger to fitness software. There are still plenty of people that run outside and can take advantage of S-Health. Problem is that most people run on treadmills now, devices that already track your heart rate, distance, etc. The download count of a heart rate app doesn't tell me a focus on fitness software is a top priority.

Samsung doesn't need to do anything extreme to improve their design, but they do need to do something. Look at what Nokia has done with polycarbonates, it retains the advantages of plastic in a more premium finish. The only reason Samsung has for sticking with their plastic is that its cheaper, which is bottom line bullsh!t.

I'm not saying they should get rid of their button layout, the removable back cover, or even their company name on the front, but at least use a more modern form factor. The stacked internal design that devices like the HTC 8X or LG G2 use is the most ergonomical and space efficient layout presented thus far. I realize that the 8X accomplishes this by layering the battery between the screen & motherboard but Samsung could still take the LG route with the stepped battery. This would add a more significant capacity improvement while curving the back of the device to fit better in the hand without thickening the edges of the devices or embedding the battery:

Also, the bezels are ridiculous. Since the s4 has been released, even chinese companies have released phones with a higher percentage of screen to bezel ratio. When LG is in your backyard releasing the G Pro 2 with a front that's 77% screen, you need to step it up in that department.

I'm not suggesting anything that other companies haven't been capable of releasing, even though a company the size of Samsung should be able to do just that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kench33:
Is battery worse for anyone? I used to be able to get at least 3 hrs screen on with 19ish hours of battery life.

This all started after I clean installed and started getting the random reboots.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] locofocos:
I've noticed a bug that's been present in a lot of Galaxy S4 roms. Typing the heart symbol in the messaging app produces "<3", not "<3". After doing some grep work, I found it was local to the messaging app APK (SecMms.apk)- specifically /res/values/arrays.xml. (I believe the arrays.xml in "values-es-rUS" and "values-ko" also have the issue, but I'm only using English). This is necessary since the '<' symbol would be parsed as XML. It is XML standard, but the app isn't parsing it as such. I found a fix though.

Line 21, which reads

<item><3</item>

should be changed to

<item><![CDATA[<3]]></item>

That special block lets the '<' sign be interpreted literally.

I decompiled it with apktool, modified it, recompiled it, and the smiley menu now types '<3' for the heart symbol. It displays properly as well. This means they work with other smartphones. And my lady friend, lol. If it's allowed, I can post the APK.

On a completely unrelated sidenote, has anyone else had a problem with disabling notifications for certain apps, then having them display notifications again after a reboot? The setting sticks in the settings app (but it isn't in effect), and I have to re-enable them and then re-disable them to hide them on every reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] steveperrry:
I wonder what it is that the causes the reboots start after a week of solid use?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
Is there nothing we can do about these reboots? It wasn't happening to me at all until today. I crashed a grand total of 37 times today (yup I counted).

It would appear most of the time it's when I listen to Pandora in the car.

Sometimes it's random. For instance just 5 minutes ago I was watching Netflix on my computer. Turned my head over and saw my phone crash and reboot itself.

Not 45 minutes ago I did a fresh wipe to rls14 and it's still happening.

I'll donate $100 for a fix because I really need this phone to be more stable :)

Lol the Pebble is functionally great but the Gear 2 has got me eyeing it with that fleksy keyboard & s-voice. Plus it looks way cooler, which is the important part. :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 4freese:
Mine is doing the same thing. Actually it just happened this morning while working on a school paper. I get random reboots with the phone just sitting there and every time I play Pandora or any other streaming music it locks up and reboots. If I use navigation with the phone plugged in it drains the battery faster than it will charge. But only with navigation will it do this. Weird! I'm on MDK with fresh install no titanium backup or anything. Some days it is rock solid, other days it is buggy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] D0CTOR:
Fortunatly for me I'm not suffering from the buggy, random reboot problem, but I was having the battery discharge faster than it will charge problem using Navigation, or Waze. I drive about 1200 miles a week, and Waze is my best friend, so I needed to solve this. I tried several chargers, and none of them would keep up until now...

If you go here you can purchase a very powerful and well made "Anker" car charger that DOES fully charge my S4 while using either Navigation or Waze full time. Not only is it the best $11.00 I've ever spent, but you can actually charge 2 devices at the same time, although only at half of the amperage of of one device. You can get them in either black or white, with or without attached cords. I got mine with no cord, as I don't like coiled cords, but that's up to you. I will add that if you use your own cord, make sure it's a good one too. Using one of the amperage measuring apps I found that some cords would only charge at 800ma, when another on gave me 1200ma, and another one gave me 1800ma!

Good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mlin:
I must've missed the part of the unpacked event where they presented the HRM as the big innovator because I didn't get that impression. I thought they highlighted most all of the new features pretty equally to present a total product, not a single feature. The 3D camera of the EVO 3D is a much better example of a gimmick in the true sense of the word.

Regarding the HRM, there are advantages to not using the camera as a HRM, e.g. constant contact with the camera lens increases the risk of scratching and damage and a dedicated HRM may offer better performance and more accurate measuring. I'm not sure where you live, but in Colorado, the most fit state in the country, many many people run, bike, and in general get their exercise outdoors where portable monitors and programs are very useful. Heck, even for those working out in a gym S-Health offers exercise logging and calorie counting that is useful. The HRM app was only one example of the populations interest in fitness. If you don't think people are interested in having a phone that can help them stay fit, then you aren't paying attention.

Regarding design, if I understand you correctly, you think Samsung should take design cues from companies that haven't had 10% of the success that Samsung's enjoyed? I understand wanting change, but Samsung faces the same dilemma Apple did awhile back i.e. why change something that isn't broken? Sure people complain about the materials but that hasn't stopped consumers from buying Samsung phones more than any other phone on the market. Obviously people don't care that much.
