Many of us from professional development backgrounds have no such perspective. I've said it before. This constant perception by some that we need to continually bow to the greatness of a coder for doing something that they undertook (most often for their own initial benefit) is ludicrous. When many of us create things, we anticipate issues. We expect that some of them are going to create stress for others and factor that into our thinking. Anyone who doesn't isn't very good at this. Multiple reboots a day would be extremely frustrating. Letting off some steam is to be expected people. The guy responded in a rather civil tone. What was missing was the "lips to backside, let me rub you on the shoulders and possibly provide a reach-around" offer.

I'm glad Scott provides the ROM. I chose to go down the path. I accept that, as a voluntary action, it may not always be solid. However, again, I don't know any DECENT coder (and this is not aimed at Scott) who doesn't have a thick skin for this sort of thing and most look forward to the challenge of making what they produce as solid as possible. If 30 people post that they have 30 reboots a day (regardless of tone), the people I've worked with wouldn't stop until that number got reduced to near zero. This includes paid and unpaid devs.

If you feel the need to bow then bow, but that's YOUR choice. Stop trying to brow-beat everyone else that's here who doesn't agree with your perspective.

What exactly do you put in system/app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Really good response.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gosimer4:
Sorry. I downloaded the bloatware zip from the hyperdrive hub. Unzipped it with root explorer, then copied the voicemail apk to system/app.

Great ROM~ Help requested from advanced users

First time posting here but have been a long time reader~

Great ROM~ Scott~ Been on Hyperdrive since I got my S4 and been loving it since.

I ran into some issues the other day and I did email the developer but I am posting it here to see if anyone may be able to help me.

I've searched as much as I can and it seems that I am the only having this issue and couldn't find a solution.

I am on RLS 15 on a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 MDK.

I was playing a game on my phone and I got a pop up message saying that my GPS was powered off. I thought this was a power save feature. When I exited the game I noticed I only had 3% battery left. I shut down the phone and replaced the battery with a spare and booted up.

I tried to enable GPS again through the quick toggles and when I did I got a "Unfortunately System UI has stopped" error. Thought that was odd so I went into Settings->Location Services and tried to enable it from there. Again I got a "Unfortunately Settings has stopped" error.

I've tried everything from rebooting the phone to downloading GPS toggle widgets from the play store. Even found a GPS toggler with root and still could not fix the issue. My phone has been without GPS last 48 hours and I do not know what to do.

I cleared cache and dalvik and really prefer not to do a wipe and reflash as setting up my phone the way I want it consumes 1/6 of my day. I really hope if any of the users/members could shine some light on this issue I am having. I do need to use GPS on a daily basis so I am really hoping for some kind of hot fix.

Other than that this ROM is the best rom out there and I will continue to support it as well as the developer~

Thanks Scott,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wired4Fun:
First, there weren't 30 people posting about a problem with 30 (THIRTY) reboots per day. It was ONE.

Second, I offered a solution that may have helped fix the problem. A problem that, as I mentioned, was likely not a fault of the ROM itself. That being said, I think it's fair to propose that the 'people you work with' would certainly be challenged to 'reduce the number to zero' if they have no control over the actual object that is creating the problem.

Third, I appreciate the civil tone in your response.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dustyjerran:
I had this same error happen yesterday with the gps I tried everything and the only thing that worked was a data wipe so starting all over
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] escenkay012:
Did you dirty flash over? Or wipe clean flash? GPS is working now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dustyjerran:
Tried dirty flash didnt work so did full wipe to make it work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] escenkay012:
Did you figure out what caused the gps error? What were you doing when you got the error?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dustyjerran:
it just all sudden quit working i had been using it saturday fourwheeling and it worked fine and then monday it said error and system error trying to turn it back on. so i tried a cache wipe no good, tried a kernel update, no good, wiped system and re installed rom no good, finially did a full wip and re install and worked right away

edit the only app thaty would of been using it that i know of is either google earth or weather bug

Edit 2 battery just hit 2% and it's messed up again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] twiz0r:
This is my first time being back on TouchWiz since AOSP came out. This rom will keep me as happy as possible since I have to be on TouchWiz now (mk2 replacement, black screen of death). Very easy to do seemingly limitless customizations.

My only "issue" is that I cannot get Viper4Android to work. I've tried multiple apks, flashable zips, etc with no luck. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] escenkay012:
That's funny because my problem started when my battery was at 3%.

So the only fix atm is to do a clean flash and to avoid using the phone at 2 - 3% battery.

Wonder if anybody else other us experienced this issue? Doesn't seem common but it's a big hit esp if you need to use location services.

Hope the dev can provide a solution or a fix in the next release.

If anybody else experiences this please let me know.

Thanks

Question just rooted and installed safe strap do i need and sd card to flash the module and the rom or can i just flash Em of internal storage and does this rom support wifi tether
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Agrajag27:
That was an example, not a quote of fact. We have had a large number of people mention several reboots each day and, I'm quite sure, many more who haven't mentioned it. I only mentioned it for the first time after having it since the day 15 came out.

This situation is one where a proactive dev can lay out the situation and work to allay concerns. If I have ANY issue with Scott, this would be it. However, I personally believe that much of that issue is heavily impacted by the silly XDA rule of having a single thread for these huge topics resulting in tons of posts that just naturally become lost in the woods. In a typical section there'd be a thread for this one issue and it would be a simple matter to see how prevalent it is -- for all users, and to help them feel that they're not alone and not without help.

However, in ANY case where our/my devs (I've been a development director for much of my career) have an issue that's outside our control, we go out of our way to make sure our audience understands that this is absolutely the case, often describing exactly where the issue lies outside our domain.

Regarding your appreciation of a civil tone, I don't see why any of our discussions can't remain civil. For me, when I see someone go off-the-handle, slapping them via text accomplishes NOTHING. They're usually frustrated and blowing off steam. You'll get much more responding in a civil manner to walk them off the ledge. Or, they're jokers who don't deserve a response so, again, text-slapping them still does nothing.

Many people on here seem to forget that the vast majority of us cannot physically read every post here. It's patently impossible to keep up with if this isn't one of your priorities. Thus, some are more apt to feel lost, upset, etc. Again, perspective. We're all fans or would-be fans.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] escenkay012:
Anybody willing to try and see if their gps shuts off when battery is critical? Make a nandroid prior to in case. Never seen this happen before..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Quick question. Do we need to be on android 4.4 when the update comes out or can we just flash the update on the safestrap version of this Rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
U don't need a sdcard to flash modules

---------- Post added at 02:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 AM ----------

I wouldn't think u need to be on kit Kat. Long as it's safestrap supported u should be good to flash away
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
That's what I was figuring but I wasn't sure. I still haven't took the plunge and upgraded yet. I was seeing how it all played out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
I would hold off on the upgrade. Just to be safe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Only thing I thought about on this update was to make sure that Safestrap was the updated version so it would work on kit kat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Yes u definitely want to make sure that is updated and working properly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
How's the M8 treating you. Me and my wife was going to get it but she talked me into getting the s4 again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
It's treating me wonderful. Love everything about it and now that sbreen made a M8 Rom for it now it's really insane. How u let her talk u into another S4 lol?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
I had it with T mobile and she had the LG G2 and wanted the s4 after looking at mine. It was buy one get one free and I've owned a HTC a long time ago. Had a bad experience with them so she's pregnant and that made the decision. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Lol I would want the S4 over that LG g2 crap too lol. I had 3 HTC phones never had a problem with them
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Well the wife spoke. Let me guess. The bootloader unlocked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Yes sir unlocked boot loader and S-off

Email

Anyone else have probs with email FC when going in to change the settings for an account?

Email setup works great then after a few weeks, i lose the notification tone. wWhen i go into the Account Setup it forcecloses.

I have RLS 15 with stock app running 1 exchange account and 1 imap account.

I suspect it may have something to do with the Notification sound.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] arcrox:
Yes, I've had this happen when the app loses the notification tone. In other apps, when this happens, the notification tone gets replaced by a number, but in Samsung Email, it force closes. You have to clear app data and set everything up again.

Not sure what causes this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] atzille:
My build number ends with RUEMK2. I successfully installed this rom on sd card after partition.

I am interested to install on main slot. So can I wipe the main rom slot and install there. Will it brick my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jonasmckee:
Thanks, I wonder if it has to do with my tone being stored on the card instaed of the Phone.. i am going to move the tone over and reset up my 2 accounts and see if that helps..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] metaphz:
I've used the last three versions of Viper4Android and it works great. Make sure to follow the Samsung directions on ZhuHangs thread. You need to edit a text file. Can't remember if it's build.prop or not. Once your installed and that file edited just select Viper4Android instead of DSPManager in the Sound--->Music Effects. Everything works including Convolver.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
Thank goodness for international Roms to keep us content until HD drops! Phoenix and Echoe are pretty bag ass!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] metaphz:
I've only used HD. Are these ROMS 4.4.2 and if so can you go from HD15 straight to them, and is there a downgrade path back to 4.3?

Also do these support using a GSM carrier on a VZW i545 S4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
Where is boot img located in a rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattie_49:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
Something I've been meaning to ask for a while (and haven't noticed any mentions previously):

Is there any way to change the info displayed during sleep/screen off when you wave your hand over the S4?

The larger icons show missed calls/email/battery % but my missed calls/email never show any change - I can have 6 missed calls and/or 26 emails but they always show 0.

Tanx.

EDIT:

Also just started receiving this notice: Unfortunately Google Text-to-speech Engine has stopped (I guess I shouldn't have used TB to integrate it into the system apps...) we'll see if it works tomorrow when I use any voice app.

EDIT AGAIN: went ahead and deleted Google TTS from system, found the latest apk & installed it. Working AOK, will move it back to system later.

One other different thought: I was only able to download this at around 1MB transfer speed - as I haven't checked my S4's speed since I acquired it a few months ago - is this slow? Seems to me that it is, and I'm about 5 feet from my personal router..

Thanks.

Location Failing

Suddenly out of nowhere today ALL attempts to turn on Location awareness is failing. I noticed I wasn't getting any sort of options under Navigation once I picked my A and B locations. So then I asked Google to locate me and, of course, it asked me to turn on Location Services (I never turned it off). I tried to enable it (slid the little switch button) and it slides and then asks me to Agree or Disagree. I agree, but then I get a message telling me Settings has stopped and then it dumps out.

Any idea what might be at the root of this one?

Looks like at least two other posters also have this issue with 15. My phone ran out of battery (rare for me) after my girlfriend used it to play an ambiance sound all night to help her sleep. When I started back up, I'm fairly certain Locations Services was dead. Rather disturbing. I'm really wondering if anyone has any idea on where to poke to fix this as reflashing right now seems a bit .... unlucky with 16 so close. Going days without GPS would be equally annoying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dustfinger314:
I was using wanam, but apparently you weren't lying about modules like that not playing nice with hd. The xposed logs were getting filled with setting about status bar clock expand header, which I couldn't get rid of. But anyways, the one thing I've really noticed the absence of since I disabled it that I'd love to see in hd tweaks is the ability to increase the number of quick toggles per screen on the notification panel. Thanks for the work on this great ROM!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JCBiznatch:
Hey its not our fault your roms open up this phone like no other. Heck I kept waking up all night just to see if you dropped the update. I just can't wait to see what you do with kit kat. Lol

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albtross:
I had issues with V4A when I upgraded to HD15 as well, but I finally stumbled upon the sequence of steps that worked for me.

I happen to be using V4A 2.3.2.2.

Change these lines to false in build.prop:

lpa.decode=false

tunnel.decode=false (default: true)

lpa.use-stagefright=false (default: true)

I'm not sure if it is necessary, but it is probably a good idea to reboot after making these changes.

I had enable then disable MusicFX, before I could get V4A to work.

Go to System Settings/My Device/Sound/Music Effects. Select MusicFx. From GooglePlayMusic start a song then, PlayMusic Settings/Equalizer enable MusicFx. Make sure that MusicFX is actually working. Go back into PlayMusic Settings/Equalizer and disable MusicFx . Go to System Settings/My Device/Sound/Music Effects select Viper4.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DraconicSeed:
Scott, don't know if you noticed this or if you can even do anything about it but my wife has a stock uprooted 4.4.2 and it seems they may have linked SMS volume to system sound as opposed to notification sound. At least that's what someone told her. I haven't had a chance to take a hard look yet.

Sent my crazy Hyperdriven GS4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Volvogia:
Loving RLS 15! No issues to report at all! I do have a question though and maybe I missed in the OP but is this ROM friendly with multi-carrier support? Like Net10, ATT, any GSM. Im on MDK. Idk what all is needed for multi-carrier so sorry if this is kinda a stupid question lol. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] metaphz:
Yup works fine. I'm on a local GSM carrier. The only issue is hardware limitations like no 4G on AT&T & T-Mobile in most areas.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ratbastrd:
Question regarding future releases

Scott, apologize if this has been addressed already, but is the next release of HD based on 4.4.2? I have see a few iterations out there but haven't wanted to deal with port until I saw a reasonably stable ROM to port to. Always loved your ROM's.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
yes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ratbastrd:
Joshm, thank you for responding. One more question, it has been some time since I updated myself on the latest updates/architecture, ridiculous methods that Verizon/Samsung are employing to lock device down and prevent owner from having full root privileges. I have an original MDK bootloader phone that is running RLS15 with KToonz kernel. (NC5 modem).

Can you point me to a thread or series of threads that will bring me up to speed on what I am in store for when porting to 4.4.2. My limited understanding at this point is that the VZ/SMSG have embedded a new kernel in 4.4.2 that circumvents previous root privileges, forcing an upgrade of the recovery/boot loader effectively removing the capabilities I enjoy on the MDK base? Not sure if I am describing that correctly but I think you get my point.

Appreciate your help, I have limited time to explore all this stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
If you're on MDK and have a custom recovery (such as TWRP or CWM) you don't need to do anything else to flash a 4.4 rom, just flash it normally. Anything you read about concerning the complications of upgrading to 4.4 doesn't apply to us lucky few who have MDK phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ratbastrd:
So I could try Echoe and Stock 4.4.2 that I see listed, without a lot of hassle? Have you played with either of them?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
I don't like to discuss other ROM's in a ROM thread I'll PM you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NikolaiVolkov:
I have been using JRKruse stock 4.4.2 for a while now, and it is amazing, however the moment Hyperdrive 4.4.2 based comes out i will quickly wipe my phone and install it, if you want minimum hassle stay patient and wait for Hyperdrive 16. The customization from the Hyperdrive toolbox is unequaled as opposed to the others, right now I have to use Wanam and a couple other xposed modules to come close to the Awesomeness that is Hyperdrive. This Rom is the reason I havent upgraded to the S5.....yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
Lmao :)?

yes it does

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hakisac78:
ok sorry if this has been asked...i cant find it anywhere. Do we have to go to safestrap 3.72 to flash the new hd rls 16 when Scott releases it? btw im on verizon. tia!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] todd3835:
I had to fully wipe my phone earlier this week because of the same problem. My phone completely died also, which is rare for me, and when I turned it back on, boom, no GPS. I also couldn't send any texts, but I could receive them. I had to wipe data before I could get it working, just doing a dirty flash DID NOT work.

On the Samsung Galaxy s5 there is the my magazine home screen feature, it that apart of the satisfy s5 launcher or? How can I get that feature?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] escenkay012:
I feel your pain. I am patiently waiting for a fix or next release but the days without gps is driving me crazy.

I did read on another forum (different rom they were using) where they had a similar issue. Their remedy was they made a nandroid backup of the current rom and restored back to an old one where GPS was working. Once they confirmed it was working they restored back to the most recent nandroid.

I would give this a go but sadly I deleted my last nandroid after I realized RLS15 was best and stable at the time.

Anyways I still looking for solutions so if either you or any of the users who find one please do share~~
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
Does anybody have good DPI settings for the Galaxy Note HD app under Hyperdrive? I can't seem to get a resolution setting right for me so I can actually read anything - too small for my eyes:(

Thanks.

EDIT: haven't used it yet, just curious - and just installed onto my Tab 2 7 and looks great... will look even better when I install ******* rom onto it (no Hyperdrive unfortunately as far as I know for the Tab 2).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
I'm not on my S4 right now nor do I use that app, but have you tried 480dpi? I'm pretty sure that's stock size on the S4. Basically just match the DPI settings to a stock app like the dialer and see how it comes out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jtio21:
Just bought the s4 and the first thing I did was rooted and flashed this rom and I have no complaints at all works flawlessly. Question when rls16 comes out will I need to do anything other than the typical flash process.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
What recovery are you using? If you are MDK bootloader and running TWRP or Philz Touch Recovery or CWM then just wipe & flash. If Safestrap, then I dunno.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jtio21:
I was on 4.3 and had to use safestrap
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
Then wait & see. If pattern holds, then most likely you will end up flashing back to stock, taking the kit-kat update, re-rooting, safestrap again, then flashing the rom. Hope that's not the case, but..........
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kench33:
If you're coming from a gpe rom do you have to do anything before you go to a tw rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
Depends more on your bootloader & recovery than on what rom you are coming from.
