For What its worth and a follow up from anyone would be great

ok. Long time HD user....did a clean install coming from 15.X(what ever the last version was). Wiped 3X, and installed all the GS 5 stuff. Two issue right off the bat....1st, when I opened the phone, and went to contacts, it fc. Also could not view my attachments with the GS5 email.

So, I upgraded to the latest TWRP using TWRP manager from play store, wiped and reinstalled 16.1. When I reinstalled, i did not select the GS5 modded launcher, and no FC's. I went back and forth with and w/out the GS5 launcher, and this seems to be causing phone to fc. I still have luck with the attachments in GS5 email. So, i reinstalled using the note 3 email and bingo. Sucks though because the GS5 email really looks sweet.

Also, there is now swap button when you have two calls going on at the same time. I used an international dialer, i think it was JR's on Ver 15 to get it, and I am going to flash it to see if it works on this rom in a few.

Also going to reinstall GS5 email and let the rom settle in...I read a few pages back this may do the trick.

If anyone has any suggestion/recommendation/things that worked for the GS5 email, thanks in advance....I really need to be able to open the attachments as this is a work phone.

Battery Life?

Battery life just seems to be...eh, just Ok I guess...definitely not great. Does anyone have any recommendations as to how to get at least a little better battery life on this ROM? I've followed the recommended steps from the main page here. Still...I feel like there could be something changed, disabled or removed...? Perhaps a guide or just a list of system processes that can be frozen (without running into conflict) would be nice! Other than that, AMAZING ROM! I just hope to get some improved battery use from it.

Thanks!

So i was running 4.4.3 standard samsung bs. NON ROOTED. I decided to downgrade and do the steps followed here for SS: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2726868

After that, I flashed the HD ROM and boom, WiFi doesn't work and somehow I lost root. I cannot install SS and seems I may have to ODIN to get back to something usable.

Questions:

How the heck did I lose root?

Why doesn't WiFi work?

request for next release and info

first updating my last post, i believe the culprit for fc the phone is an old Verizon Visual Voice Mail apk. I am going to try the method and files posted in the theme section to see if that works.

Sbreen, on next release can you please add the button that will allow you to go back and forth between two calls, its the swap button that gets activated when you are on one call and call waiting brings another call in and you answer and you can go back and forth between the two....thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wwonka69:
There are two files you need to flash after the install on is su. And one is the wifi fix for nc5.

I'm on ss and was able to reboot into ss and flash without redoing the whole thing.

Goodluck

No WiFi despite flashing Wifi Fix

I installed RLS 16.1 first using Bobios Method. Unwittingly using SS 3.71 It never got past the boot animation. (Several tries), So I restored back to a rooted stock backup that had SafeStrap 3.70. At which point WiFi did not work. Oh well.

Upgraded to SS 3.72

I then to 16.1 with Gogolies method for Safestraped phones ("Method 2, Start at Step 3"). That worked but still no WiFi.

I’ve reflashed:

gogolies-wififix-VZW-retail-NC5-w-modules-SS.zip NC5-patch1. (via SafeStrap)

Modem-nhlos-nc5-odin.tar via Odin

Still no WiFi

Current status:

Bootloader: VRUNFMJ7

Baseband: VRUNFNC5

CSC Version VRUNFNC5

ROM: Hyperdrive RLS 16.1

Version 4.4.2

I hadn't intended to turn this phone into a hobby but that's where I'm at.

Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ghost0001:
Exactly.

I lost root after HD was flashed via SS. I found the fix for WiFi in the thread, I just can't wrap my head around how I lost root using a custom ROM. I tried to open SuperSU and it told me "no SU binaries installed, and Super SU cannot install them". So, since I lost root, I couldn't install SS. I was dead in the water. Now I am at this point: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2763834

I completed the step-by-step and am at 4.4.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bryantjopplin:
The swap calls are on mine. This has been discussed in the thread by me a bunch of times to others, but since I'm nice lol, just use wanam xposed to change it. But don't do anything else as you might mess some of Scott's work up, it works fine for me but let us know if you have issues after that

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

You lost root because you didn't flash it after the ROM like you were supposed to. SU doesn't stick so you have to flash it.

Thank you [MENTION=642589]sbreen[/MENTION] for an awesome ROM. I started with HD RLS 15 and had ZERO problems.

Now on 16.1 and have BETTER battery life and a really FAST phone bcuz of your hard work!!!

[MENTION=2955144]bryantjopplin[/MENTION] [MENTION=3882268]decaturbob[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5253276]joshm.1219[/MENTION] seem to be the answer men for this AWESOME ROM.

I started from the beginning and wiped everything from my phone, now rooted running 16.1 and everything is running great, but have two things maybe you guys can help me with?

1. I do have voice recorder installed but still can't get call recording to work. Tried using Wanam Xposed, but no luck. Any solution or suggestions guys? And yes, that stupid icon is still on my dialer, so I don't touch it.

2. I have those funky block looking created folder icons. Would really like the icons that I had when on RLS 15 that looked like they were on a plate or disc. Any ideas?

Thanks again [MENTION=642589]sbreen[/MENTION]! And thanks in advance [MENTION=2955144]bryantjopplin[/MENTION] [MENTION=3882268]decaturbob[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5253276]joshm.1219[/MENTION] for all your help!

You need to flash gogolies NC2 WiFi fix....it had NC2 modem and modules...yes I know its nc5 we are on

But IT WILL WORK... this is what all safestrap users have used and works every time....its what I usedused

Go back 20 pages and u will find a link I am sure...if I was on my computet I would give ya a link

Also u don't need to flash the NC5-patch... That is only for stock nc5 and its only for ur lock screen and toggles...has nothing to do with anything but for surges stock nc5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bryantjopplin:
The folder icons are what is built into the stock launcher, of you use another launcher you will have this option most likely. If I can the apk pulled apart and replace the folders and get it back together no problem then you could have it. I will take a look at vr theme and see what can happen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra7361:
Really hope u can get us the note 3 style folders...I believe that's where the disk style comes from

If u figure it out please post....I know there is a lot of ppl that want that style
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dooley69:
Thanks

BTW - On the call recording issue I uninstalled Xposed Framework, rebooted, tried to place a call and record it... text flashed up on screen saying "unable to record media scanner is running". WTH? GRR. Not sure what to try now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bryantjopplin:
Well I would need the note 3 seclauncher.apk. I would have to decompile and add it to this one. You know where I can download it? If it was on the previous release could you pull out from the zip and upload it?

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------

Try this, remove you SD card, go to settings in the voice recorder app choose device for saving, reboot and try.

I have an seclauncher4.apk installed by its the folder icon, is it possible both are named the same? Mine looks like the s5 launcher tho. I guess they are just the same name.

Edit they are different and just named the same
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra7361:
The note launcher I had on hyper15 had the circle style folders..

Apex launcher had them too but I like a touchwiz launcher on my s4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dooley69:
Tried your suggestion. Settings in voice recorder defaulted to "device" once sd card was removed. Upon reboot, screen flashed "watchlist updated". Tried another call, record button brought up the red timer but it stays at 0:00:00 and when hanging up from the call the phone flashes text saying call failed to record.

I have no idea what that is, but suspect the watchlist thing may have something to do with me not being able to record calls???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bryantjopplin:
Hmm have you tried to install xposed again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jon53179:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Yep, uninstalled and reinstalled. Tried both options via Wanam. This has happened both times I have flashed 16.1. Funny thing is, call recorder worked fine on HD 15. Still wonder where the "watchlist updated" comes from?

Dangit. I have 16 almost perfected for my likes except those icons I had in HD 15 which are different in 16.1, and the call recording.

What would happen if I used Aroma again and flashed 16.1? Would I lose all my settings? You know, all my apps installed and how I have all my pages setup?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
So has Towelroot been confirmed to work on Verizon S4 (NC5)?

Yes...tomsgt said it does and surge has closed him upgrade thread

I have confirmed this works...towelroot works..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Now... Who wanted the disc icon for the folder on the s5 launcher? Because this guy has it lol. One issue maybe, the icons in the folder look smaller than what I thought they were. I didn't change that tho. But anyways what do you think?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
I want the disc icons please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
LOL, Either flash or push to priv-app set permissions, reboot, and enjoy. Your existing folders might automatically switch over and work out the gate. I also only did the first slot (ie the default color slot), so if yours is other than the blue folders you will have to remake them using the default folder color which is the first one. This was a simple crossover so I didnt go into that much detail and switch everything out. Thanks

OP needs to be updated...

We no longer need to upgrade downgrade to install..

Towelroot works great...

So if anyone flashes and loses root....no need to downgrade and all that..or if u took the OTA

Install towelroot and download SuperSU v1.99 and go into common folder and install

Then u can update binarys....otherwise it won't update...

Also this is safe and will not trip Knox....my wife's phone she took OTA and

I just rooted with towel root and Knox is still 0x0

Verizon Visual Voice Mail & Email

I believe the VVM that had worked on previous HD versions will cause the phone to FC. I think calebcabob is working on a flashable zip for VVM to address this.....I still cannot use the GS 5 email with exchange as it will not open any attachments.

If anyone has had any luck with either of these issue please pm or post. otherwise, as usual, this is probably the best rom out there hands down.....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bryantjopplin:
No I didn't find it, I made it. That's why I asked for the note 3 seclauncher.apk to pull the images from it. It I isn't hard to theme really or even replace things in an apk. Just need to find what you are looking for a piece it together. I could tell you how to make zips or modify apks easily. I actually learned the harder way on the og Droid.

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

Ooh BTW the icons are probably small because I didn't edit any xmls, I just replaced the images, but if I can find what xml changes the dpi, I will try to fix it. Not to great at xml tho lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dooley69:
Thanks for the extra work. Yeah I need to learn this. I would like to learn how to make the app icons appear stacked like they were on HD RLS 15. Still thrilled that you helped me out! Learning everyday, even at my age!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bryantjopplin:
That's probably just xml as well. Do you have the hd15 RLS zip still? If so can you extract the launcher from it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dooley69:
Yes I have 15. Once I grab the launcher, what program do you use to modify it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bryantjopplin:
7zip to put the apk into an archive so I can edit and not worry about breaking the signature of the zip or anything else that maybe in there. I literally just swapped pngs and renamed to what they needed to be to just see if it would work, I can try some other things later. It took me all of 5 minutes to do that.

Just realized you were talking to me. Silly question, it installs and you can get into it right? But have you checked to see if it has root permissions? Clear your SuperSU and re-run the program. I had that problem once, it took like 2 minutes before it came up and asked for permissions.

I used gigilie's upgrade from rooted 4.3 MK2 to upgrade to 4.4.2 NC5. I then put Hyperdrive 16.1 on and flashed the modules. I started the phone up and everything was working flawlessly. So I downloaded Titanium Backup to recovery my apps and it wasn't allowing me to run the app because I had no root privleges. I got the root checker from the app store and sure enough I lost root..

Had the problem again this morning with writing to the external SD card. I know it is not the ROM now. It occurred when I updated apps from the Play store. I think the culprit is My Backup Pro. After updating and rebooting, I got the error again that the Backup location, which is on the external card, was invalid and would not let me change it. I also got an error when trying to update a .txt file that it couldn't be saved to the external.

I flashed 16.1 again without wiping anything and the problem with the txt file is cleared up. My Backup still doesn't work, Titanium Backup functions with no problem. Weird!

Need help with the blues

I have been running Hyperdrive release 10 since it came out, and have been exceedingly happy with it. I haven't had time to make upgrades of each subsequent version, until last weekend... but nothing has gone well. I did a full wipe, and successfully flashed and booted the ROM, and it loaded and ran fine. But I can't turn bluetooth on (the message is 'file missing', but never actually gets to the point the on button is lit or the scan button works.. I've searched the forums and read all the 16.1 posts about this, and other users have had the problem, but it doesn't seem like a pattern has emerged for what fixed it (I think I've tried nearly all of the solutions) and yet, it only seems to be affecting some people.

Suspecting the loader itself (version listed is 2.6.3.1), so I have tried switching to safestrap, but after installing it and enabling it, the UI still says the same version (I know safestrap was derived from it, but don't think that's why). Some suggestions to others in my situation have said to 'start over', which I interpreted as going back to recovery... but that doesn't seem to work, either. So at one person's suggestion, I installed Nexus Root Kit, since it supposedly had features to reset the bootloader and could also flash factory images. That option hasn't worked to remove TWRP, either, with the tool complaining about about not being able to find 'Fastboot'. Of course, along the way, some of the 'download' buttons to get access to the rootkit appear to have installed malware and crapware on my host, which hasn't helped my mood.

Could one of the more experienced ROM users help suggest a course of action for me? At this point my phone works, without bluetooth, but that is a significant limitation since I need to use the phone a lot in my car. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The current 'About ROM' lists RLS16.1, build date May 2014, model SCH-I545 Android 4.4.2, Baseband version I545VRUAMDK, Kernel 3.4.0++
