When using greenify...you must go and install the xposed module and check system apps in expermintal features in order for

Greenify to hibernate system apps..and use wake lock detector app it had the option to greenify apps when u see one that is draining juice....I check that and boost mode and the one for 4.4..

I get great battery life....not 4.3 type of battery life but 2 days on moderate use and 1.5 days on heavy use...

My wife took the OTA on her s4 and she gets insane battery life...bout like I did on 4.3..2-3 days

Note 3 (stock) 4x5 Launcher

Not sure if this is useful for anyone else but it is for me. I modified the Note 3 Stock launcher that is included with this ROM to have a 4x5 home screen. Didn't change the app menu from what it was (5x5).

If you want it just copy it to /system/priv-app. Would recommend renaming the current one you have then doing it. After its been moved restart phone and you should be good.

Did this as a 4x5 home screen is very nice to have.

Enjoy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wally44:
I've done most of what you suggest with greenify, but just did turn on the "boost" mode to see if that makes a difference. I've run wakelock detector, but can't tell what to do with it especially I don't see any connection with greenify. I'll let things cook for a few days to see if the battery usage improves.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shiroimin:
So I have been running rl16 for good 2-3 weeks now without any major issues. I have only 2 small problems, which are more inconvenient then anything.

1) When I am on a call, and move the phone away from my ear, the screen does not come back on (sensor doesn't trigger) unless I press the Home button, but at that point, if I bring the phone back to my ear, it stays on meaning I accidentally press buttons. Is this something on my end like a bad sensor or is there a setting I'm missing... or a fix?

2) When I get off a phone call, the status bar gets messed up. I set my clock to the middle of the bar and removed few of the icons from the right. What happens is the clock appears back on the right, along with some of the icons, but the clock in the middle stays as well. Way to fix it is to reboot the UI.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
1. Open the dialer and hit menu, check "use proximity sensor during call" or whatever its called in the settings

2. Reported and acknowledged bug
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
I had this issue too. I cleaned the where the proximity sensor is on the phone with an alcohol swab and the problem has been gone since then. My phone is not ever dirty but I think there may have been a micro layer of sweat or something that was disrupting the sensor. Doesn't hurt to try.

If this post helps please feel free to smack the thanks button.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] camparks:
Thank you very much for sharing. Just made a recent request for this exact setup in the themes section.

To add to the directions:

1. Add .BAK to the end of the current launcher to rename it

2. Make sure to set the proper permissions on the new one after pasting in the folder

3. A Hotboot will suffice to get the new launcher started

FYI - if it fails or you forget to set the app permissions properly, you will get the Easy Settings launcher instead.

:( No one else has this issue or a way to fix? I've tried re-installing multiple times using different kernels and not installing xposed. Still no ringtone when a call comes in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MonkeyTime:
It's a known S4 issue. Dust gets inside underneath the screen in through the holes in the speaker. There's a gasket that surrounds the speaker and all the sensors and it stays trapped in there and covers up the sensor from inside.

There are quite a few videos you can find on cleaning it out with compressed air or by disassembling.

Don't know if this is a problem with the rom but when I send pictures in the stock email app (since the yahoo email app has some bad reviews) the pictures send and can be viewed on my sent emails on my phone but not on my computer and when I save them on my computer they are pretty much corrupted. And the person I sent it to cannot view them either.

[EDIT] Tried again and same thing. Either all or a few cannot be viewed. Tried with Gmail and all of them turned out fine. Is there something wrong with the app or the settings. Also I've tried the size changer thing when it asks if you want it Original, Big, Medium, Small. Original - All corrupted, Big - maybe 2-3, Medium - maybe 1-2, haven't tried small though. Gmail sent it all as the orignal size and they were fine.

Should the ROM have the Samsung international keyboard with autocorrect?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kdo23:
I'm pretty sure the boot animation on TW ROMs isn't in data/media. I believe that only applies to aosp ROMs. If you had a file in there then I don't know what that was but when I looked into custom boot animations awhile back it was not that easy.

EDIT: found the original thread and it links to another thread with possible fix for custom boots that comes from the s3 forums. It also mentions the difference with aosp and TW so that's confirmed for future reference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NickSaul:
Thank you, I though something weird was going on.

Looks like there's a special bootanimation file in system/bin.

I'm used to using CM ROMs and had no idea that the boot animation setup was so different in TouchWiz ROMs.

For those interested, I found a thread that states that the TouchWiz ROMs use some sort of .qmg file for the boot animation.

I am not even going to bother messing with it.

EDIT: This thread makes it has much simpler steps to change the boot animation, but you still need the .qmg files.

Hey Hyperdrive team, any chance you could toss the S4 Developer's Edition boot animation into the next release? It's much more interesting than the Samsung one, in my opinion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Proweedsmoker:
You need a .qmg file for boot animations, not a zip file.

"external" sdcard support?

Ultimately I'm trying to get my 64GB sdcard (formatted ext4) to mount and /etc/vold.fstab looks right but it won't mount. Then it occurs to me that vold.fstab has no entries for the internal storage (using fuse and emulated). Also, there's no storage_list.xml. Where else might these be getting controlled from? Also, if I terminal as root, I can "mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmcblk1p1 /storage/extSdCard" and it works fine while in the terminal but my apps show /storage/extSdCard as blank. What security controls that or prevents my apps from seeing what I do as su?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markmi300:
Thanks for the reply. Yes I did check that already. I re-flashed yesterday for the ....I've lost count....and tested the ringer right after every setting that I changed in Settings and Hyperdrive tweaks. I purposely left off installing xposed just to see what would happen today. Sure enough, when I turned my phone on this morning and called it, the ringer rings once and then goes silent. I cannot find a pattern to what is causing this.

Does anyone know how to edit what apps go to each pie and how many pie triangles there are?

I found some of those. Google Play Services is the top CPU wakelock user. Android System is much smaller but still 1000s of wakelocks. Neither of them gives any option to greenify.

Chrysler Head Unit SMS Map Fix

Hey I thought I would pass it along, for anyone that has a Chrysler head unit (specifically the 430N) I worked with garyd to fix an issue with Samsung Galaxy devices. When receiving an sms the head unit would say "no number available". Gary created an Xposed module call BTSMSMapFix that corrects this problem. It is for kitkat and I have tested on my S5 and my Jeep with the 430N. It also fixed the ability to reply to sms, etc. Basically Samsung address book was sending the number in a different format than the head unit. See thread here, you can grab the module off Xposed. Enjoy! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
Maybe search for a Module in Xposed that would work for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sypherz28:
I believe it was this ROM that had this feature I'm about to mention. Whenever I would set the screen brightness to auto the slider would change its function to increase or decrease the overall levels that the auto bright would use. I would love to have that back because the auto bright as it stands is just to bright.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Matt929RR:

Then select android system or whatever it will give u a list of what the break down of android system is...

My wife's phone is stock NC5...non root and all she runs is juicedefener and gets crazy battery life..

Greenify...I select all but 2...

This is indeed a minor issue, but it seems like ROM developers pay way more attention to other minor issues that I happen to not care about. Kind of peeved.

Anyway, I found a solution to this and I noticed that no one replied to you. Hope this helps. Make sure to follow the instructions (including changing the file permissions) or it won't work.

Another build and another new set of problems for me. Seriously considering what I should to at this point. I haven't had a stable build since version 7. The mantra grows old here. I donate to products that work for me and I planned to do so with this, but it just hasn't.

Now I'm getting random reboots and absolutely atrocious battery life. Android Services continually dominates. In some cases the phone drains entirely from a full charge in just 6 hours sitting idle. I've now missed one event because the phone died overnight after being full charged.

Anyone who wants to jump on the comments, feel free, but I'm just stating facts. I'd be the first one here singing its praises if it just worked as expected. No one wants that to have been the case more than me as it is my phone. Oh well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
*****, *****, *****.. how about a thank you's for sbreen94's hard work... instead of just complaining.

in case you don't know installing a new rom may have some problems associated with it. stop complaining and explain your issues explicitly (or clearly/precisely), you may get better results.

ps: if you haven't updated your rom forever than perhaps you should take some time to read through this forum instead of complaining. try getting off of your white porcelain pedestal for a change. i haven't updated to 16.1 yet but at least i spend the time to read through the forum (and i copy/paste notes to save time - how about spending a few minutes of your day for a change?).

EDIT: that was harsh - just getting ready for another funeral tomorrow, just pissed off atm. i still mean what i wrote though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Agrajag27:
You know what? No. Been there, done that. How many times do we have to bow in reverence while build after build continues to miss the mark?

Now we've got a build that can't even display the time and date properly. Give it a rest with the enabling.

I'm fully aware that I made this choice and I'm voicing my concerns. Continuing to blow praise up the backside of the developer isn't solving any problem here. I've laid out the problems with every single build and have RARELY gotten a single response to any of them. Part of that is the fault of XDA for not allowing products like this to get their own section. There's just no easy way for anyone to really keep up and easily help others. Part of that is the fault of the product itself as missing a day or two of reading posts and you'll find yourself pages behind with most of those pages including many of the same concerns posted over and over again. NO useful solution should REQUIRE the reading of 2,582 pages (and counting) of posts in order to work with it. Perhaps this is someone else's full-time hobby but it's not mine.

Also, it's clear from YOUR post that you didn't read mine. I've run EVERY build from 7 on up.

Your commentary solved absolutely nothing, missed the point entirely and, in my view only served to once again sweep issues under the rug.

Sorry for your loss.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wil318466:
He's right.

While we as a community appreciate the work, if the releases have multiple issues, then people have a right to complain. I know I've donated at least 100 dollars to devs, and I'm sure others have, too. Don't think just because they put work in that there is zero room for criticism.

Personally, I'm REALLY disappointed in the last release. Its made me want to just buy another phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sep33:
Have you tired running a log cat and sending it the developer? have you tired to explain your current issues to scott? I am just saying I have PM him before and he is responsive to a point. If you have had issues since 7 then go back and use 7 or change your roms. I am just trying to help here. just to let you know I have not had any issues to date on this version. versions 13-15 those were not good to me and so I stayed on 12. I wanted to go to 4.4.2 so I even switched to a different ROM, sorry Scott, and when 16 came out I came back and I have no regrets coming back. I even dirty flashed 16.1 and still no issues. battery life isn't that great but I hear that comes with kit kat but not a deal breaker at all. Hope you get help or you find a ROM that you like
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Agrajag27:
Thanks. My goal isn't to be a jerk here. I'm just fed up. I keep hanging in there, build after build, but the story doesn't change. The biggest answer we get on here is to thank Scott for the work. Hey, we all appreciate the CONCEPT and the EFFORT but it's not hitting the GOAL.

For those of you like the first guy who responded to me who feel praise is the answer, please, tell us what the magic number of praise posts is before we get a working ROM? As it is right now there are nearly 2,600 pages of posts. On nearly every page there's at least one post of praise so that's 2,600 praise-filled posts. How many more do we have to provide to hit the promised land of a ROM that reaches the intended design specification?

Telling those of us that have fairly silently just endured while our phones fail to live up to the expectations does no one any good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sep33:
I think at one time or another we have felt like yourself but I learned a long time ago and other have mentioned that sometimes it is just the phone and ROM do not get along for whatever reason. As I mentioned before 13-16 gave me trouble but instead of *****ing I tired everything to make it work. When that didn't happen I went to a version that did and even another ROM. I think the point here is instead of *****ing find a solution. I donated to this ROM back in the early versions and when I left cause of issues I didn't *****ing about it I just kept coming back to see if any versions worked. I think the main thing here is that he does this for free and he works off his own phone not mine, not your or anyone elses. so when he has has stable working rom on his phone it works. He has testers who give him feed back. Unfortunately for some reason or another it just isn't working on your phone. But yes we should be thanking the developer for the work he puts in and unfortunately if our phones don't work with his ROM and we don't give the developer an understanding of what is wrong how can he nor anyone else help anyone. I think what people get tired of are those who botch but do not give any details about their phones and logs on what problems they are having. Just my two cents

Is there anyway to have Google's emojis to appear instead of Samsung? Even if I use the Google emojis in Hangouts, it appears to be different when it's actually sent
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wil318466:
I really want to make this clear : I appreciate all the work the devs put in, I really do. When I get a good rom, my phone is so great that I'm giddy. I'm simply saying that when I get a bad rom, especially so in the situation we are in with nc5 and the severely limited options we have, the frustration level is high.

Every one of us has certain things that are utterly important to them. Whether it's reboots, black screen hangs, wifi, GPS, MMS, whatever, we all rely heavily on our phones. When I install a rom and I'm afraid I'll be late for work, it's an issue, and I think people can appreciate that.

That being said, I just hope the next version of this awesome rom will be as stable as the previous ones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pwned3:
If you are having issues complaining alone won't help at all. A log cat would go a long way. Even a better description of what is happening would help. What kernel are you running? Safe strap? I've been running this since it dropped and other than the clock not wanting to stay in the middle and the less than stellar kit kat battery life it's been a solid rom
