I don't think I have EFS backed up.. as an update to this.. I had same issues with old backup of Bean build that I restored along with flashed the stock MDK radio. No dice.. 3G the whole way home while my son's GS3 had 4G.

So this had me thinking that maybe I did accidentally do a *228 at one point when I first went to HD 17 because after WMAN install it trashed my phone to the point it took a lot of work to get it functional again. ODIN all the way to factory, etc. This kills the SIM somehow doesn't it ? I believe I remember that being an issue. Any fix short of a lot of hoops to jump through ? I do happen to have a brand new/un-used SIM somewhere, but I am guessing if I call them and tell them to activate it they will still want me to *228 it. Which basically translates to me flashing all the way back to stock, root it,*228 it, flash all the way back to HD. Is this also what I would need to do to correct the current SIM ?

Thanks for the feedback, and on the 6 hour ride home... this is exactly what I was thinking happened.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peekywhop2:
Ok I did as you said with the apps and all that and went from 1 1/2 hours to 3 hours!!! Lmao. So in theory it did double my battery life aha. But I want to go ahead an do a full wipe again and reflash again. Something must have gone wrong. I am going to upload some screenshots of BetterBatteryStats and of my built in Battery App in the settings. If you look there is a browser app and another browser app that says its a system app. ( com.sec.android.app.sbrowser:sandboxed_process0) to be exact, wth is that??? And do you have any apps that you recommend to backup call log and messages? Thanks for all the help !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
Both of those are what worked for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Well if you did *228, that's your problem. I'm going to copy+paste a post here of me explaining this to someone else awhile ago:

Whatever you read that told you to dial that code, probably said so because it is how you use to update the PRL on a CDMA device. The PRL contains the network band/sub-band identifiers in the R-UIM. A corrupt PRL can result in no service.

The problem now is that with Verizon LTE, it's identifiers are kept in the same PRL on the device but dialing *228 only updates the CDMA identifiers in the PRL. Sometimes, manually updating the PRL with this method kills the LTE identifiers. So you either need to get a new SIM or wait for the phone to "AutoPRL", something Verizon implemented with the LTE network that automatically updates the PRL correctly about once a week.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RK KINGKONG:
first and foremost thank you for all your polite replies , and help .. i manged to get where i wanted , with no issues ...

i did forget to flash the su zip lol but no biggie , rerooted

im good now thanks alot brother :good::good::good::laugh::laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] siverson:
So if I have a new SIM handy, they activate, does it automatically have that info once it powers up fresh in the device ? Or am I correct in thinking that I need to *228 with new SIM anyhow.. which mean I could be in for a lot of flashing back and forth to resolve ?

Thanks again for the info thus far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tenchi4U:
As mentioned numerous times before, you MUST flash NC2 or NC5 modules after flashing (preferably clean flashing) the ROM.

My VZW S4 runs flawlessly (wifi, 4G, decent battery life (for KK), etc) after factory wipe, clean install, SU flash and NC5 module flash, on KToonz kernel using KToonzified profile (lightly modified).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jsimsfour:
I installed hyperdrive 18 on my s4. i upgraded from rls 17. After i installed rsl 18 i pressed the reboot button before i could install the update root .zip . What should i do to get back in recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashbang173:
Is safestrap still installed? If it isn't just go to towelroot.com to root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jsimsfour:
No it isnt. So just root and manually install safestrap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wally44:
I also see the crash on selecting data usage (with either the S4 settings or the S5 settings). In addition, I see some small increase in battery life (with greenify, wakelock detect, etc all working) compared with 17.1 although it sometimes will go into a steep battery drain mode. More importantly, however, I'm see more frequent reboots and system freeze (no response to power button). This bothers me more than the other issues. I think I saw 1-3 days uptime between crashes with 17.1, but now several per day, for no apparent reason.

I should say I'm on MDK base with the simplest flash of the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
I'm on MDK but I haven't had one freeze or random reboot on 18.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ProfEngr:
Did anyone come up with a "safe" way to get rid of the Custom icon on the boot screen with this ROM? MDK; Stock kernel from AROMA.

It will go away if I revert to a nandroid of CleanROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
You won't need to dial it again. Just log into your Verizon wireless account online and you'll somewhere their guide for changing the sim in your phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashbang173:
Should be able to. You might have to set selinux to permissive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ron0716:
I'm using safe strap 3.72 on my Verizon s4 should I be able to wipe everything and install? When I went through safe strap it said something about a big update and being able to wipe cache delvik and system is this true? I am used to TWRP on my old note 2 if so I am going to flash this Roman tonight
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scootier:
Wipe cache, davlik and data. Do not wipe system
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ron0716:
Would that make it a clean install or dirty I noticed that safe strap is really close to twrp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] johnjay829:
anyone know if this rom will be coming to the vz s5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra7361:
Are u using wake lock detector app?...I use wake lock detector and better battery stats

U can greenify from it ur top apps that are waking phone...also with better battery stats u need to

Look at partial wakelocks and alarms...those are what are waking ur phone...

Post what u have greenified

U have to greenify system apps...

Follow what I say and u can get 2+ days and 4-5 hours screen time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peekywhop2:
Yep! I am using that also. I have almost every system app greenified and user apps aswell. I am just going to reinstall the rom from a clean slate. Just have to back everything up. Wasn't sure if you had any good apps I could use. I usually use "sms backup and restore" "titanium backup" and "call log backup and restore"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra7361:
U don't want to greenify everything...some things have to be able to run..

Do a clean install and battery calibration...use the one built in..

Then use greenify and donation package... And lux...and make sure u use app ops..

And the full charge and then let sit for a couple hours... Don't mess with ur phone much..

Then u will see what is waking ur phone..will give u a good starting point..

Also takes a few cycles for everything to settle down some too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
I'm not running this ROM but could manually adjusting your brightness be a good alternative to Lux?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
For those of you running safestrap, did picking the safestrap option in aroma on the kernels page flash the modules correctly and fix wifi without you having to flash them separate?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hollywood67:
I flashed them separately after discovering wifi did not initially work.

Came from 17.1 and clean flashed.

sent from my Hyperdriven beast
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashbang173:
I think to get WiFi working people flashed:

The NC2 WiFi Fix

Then the NC5 Modules

Correct me if I'm wrong
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
Didn't work for me. Had to flash wifi modules.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Azuma73:
Finally had the day off today, so I had time to do the RLS18 update. All went just fine for me....we're all groovy with rainbows & puppy dogs here!!

Thanks once again Scott... great friggin' job!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ron0716:
You flash NC2 even if your already on NC5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrv331:
Is there any mod or flash to change the color of the pull down toggle background other than Wanam? I believe most of my issues are Wanam related.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scootier:
Only flash nc2 wifi fix.

If you want the NC5 modem then flash the modem only afterwards.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dustyshoes:
Upgraded to RLS 18. I managed to shoot myself in the foot along the way, losing both root and Safestrap. After getting over feeling stoopid, towelroot and the Safestrap .apk repaired my self inflicted wounds. RLS 18 is behaving fine, Bluetooth, wifi, GPS, etc.. are working as expected. I've been using it for about three days now.

Thanks Again sbreen & Co. !!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra7361:
[MENTION=4600715]sbreen94[/MENTION]

In the channel log u say

New Xposed Proof CSC files, now Wanam and other modules that conflict with csc edits and cause issues will not be able to

Does this mean we can use wanam and be ok?...no ill effects?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Azuma73:
I've been using wanam for a while now, with zero issues. Just stating my exp with it....not trying to be a douche!?!?:good::good::o:o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Echo17121:
I am still on 17 but I am assuming that this probably hasn't changed in the last release. How do I block a text message from a certain person? Blocked the calls but the texts are still coming through. I need this crazy person out of my life lol help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pfizzle:
It worked for me fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
You didn't have to flash any modules?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrv331:
I had to flash the nc2 zip for WiFi to work. I guess I'm one of the unlucky ones that have bad luck with Wanam. All I really use it for is the black toggle background.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scootier:
Pretty sure if you are on NC5 bootloader then all you have to flash is the modules (which are included in aroma install).

If you're on anything else you have to use the NC2 wifi fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pfizzle:
Nope! I just wiped my slot, flashed rls18 and chose the "safestrap" kernel option when asked, and the flashed SuperSU before rebooting
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
I am on NC5. Took the OTA. I chose the Safestrap kernel option, but couldn't turn wifi on during set up. Just got back into Safestrap recovery, flashed the NC5 modules and all was well. Weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jerrod22:
updated to 18 from 17 and my MMS wont send, my SMS do send though. So its my picture messages.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ron0716:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
Depends what you are using it for. I don't like overbearing modules like that because they are meant for stock roms, and this isnt a stock rom. I edited that so that installing wanam doesnt overwrite your csc files like it does normally when you install it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ron0716:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra7361:
Gotcha....thanks for the reply..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eheinzeiii:
Anyone know how to get the kids mode thing working. Been looking around for it a while now? ? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Randomlord:
Same here. I chose the Safestrap kernel and lost root, wifi and safestrap. When I rooted the rom and re-installed safestrap, I did a clean wipe again, re-flashed RLS18 and then flashed the NC5 modules again after the aroma installer finished.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anothersmith:
I can't seem to be able to designate group text...I picked the inverted messaging in aroma. Anyone else have this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra7361:
Don't know...have u tried wiping cache of messaging app..

Or even wipe cache/dalvik cache I. Recovery..

Also what app u using for the CPU info I. Center of ur notification ?

Also do u have ur messaging g themed?

Sorry haven't updated to 18 yet...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anothersmith:
It was a clean flash...I'll give it try though can't hurt.

The cpu thing is called Cool tool...it's pretty slick. Allows me to see if a rouge app is running cause the cpu gauges will go haywire.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dezymond:
Anyone have trouble getting Light Flow to work with this ROM?

Also the battery seems to charge pretty slow on this ROM. I'm using the stock adapter and USB cable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShnikeJSB:
I'm too lazy to read back in the comments to see if this issue was brought up already, but texting is broken when sending delay is turned on. The text never sends, and you can't cancel it, copy it or anything.

Oh, I also chose the inverted messaging theme in Aroma.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blastthenoise:
I just came over to this ROM from Echoe (sick of the random reboots and bugs). I saw the setting in Hyperdrive Tweaks for menu text color, but was there a better, more universal fix so that there would be a white text on dark backgrounds and black text on white backgrounds? The grey is just not ideal, and strains my eyes a bit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
I always wipe system also and I've had no issues. I do Advanced Wipe and select everything but the internalSD and I also factory reset before every new ROM flash.

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ----------

You want the HyperDrive white theme when you install via aroma installer.

FYI for those wondering about the battery life of the Awesome Hyperdrive (sorry, not screenshots) I just performed 2x nandroid backups after 13 hours of work + TB'ups a couple of times, and still have about 19% power...

so listen to cobra's advice..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
I haven't used cool tool since he released that module back when there was only like ten of them lol. Used to destroy my battery though. I'm guessing this has been improved?

Okay, definitely my favorite you ever made. I like the stealth logo

Edit: second thought, i think that pic where you put the hyperdrive logo on the girls shirt is probably my favorite lol

Hi, i would like to try your ROM but i have a LTE and need Dutch language.

Is it already existing or is it possible to do in the near future?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rae2u_112:
I have noticed a couple things that seem buggy and/or don't work properly.

1) In tweaks...I set the status bar to be clear, but it doesn't stay that way. I'm using NOVA Launcher...so I have that option checked also...still not transparent.

2) The alarm icon disappears in the status bar even if I have alarms set.

3) The date doesn't show up in the notifications screen.

4) My calls stopped working yesterday. I rebooted and then it worked fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] siverson:
Thanks. I just went through the process of swapping out the SIM though I won't be able to tell right now until I run up the road later today, as I am on a 3G extender at home.

For anyone else that needs to go through this process, I could not find a way to do it online but their 4G FAQ said to call this number and they were able to help me out with ease. (877) 807-4646

The page is here: http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/faqs/VZAccess/4g_sim_card.html

I will update later today when I run out again and am able to get 4G in normal areas. Thanks again for all of your help... I suspect this will resolve the issue.

Oh, and VZW rep even indicated that he had seen cards go bad where 4G will not work anymore. Replacement cards are free directly from them. Places like Best Buy I know from personal experience will charge you $30 for one.

***UPDATE, Sure enough.. new SIM corrected the issue. Thanks a million Joshm.1219 for the assistance.***

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RK KINGKONG:
didnt flash modules

its ok to have skipped the su but if you didnt flash the modules and wifi fix , you might not have wifi when you get all settled or do you have it to stick when you hit the toggle

because when i did the same thing you did , i was screwed becuase i dont have a contract on this phone and i depend on wifi so when it didnt let me get passed the sign in because of it . and i forgot to flash the modules

i had to go all the way back and start over from scratch

This is awesome and sucks at the same time! :p I JUST installed RLS4 yesterday! Haha.

Also, the download is going extremely slow.

One more thing, I was having an issue with bluetooth on RLS4. I was trying to pair my phone with the HTC stereoclip (bluetooth auxiliary port streamer), and it kept prompting every like 2-4 seconds for a PIN except it's never, ever done that before. It's supposed to just automatically connect without entering any kind of PIN. Anyway, I finally got it to stop somehow.

For date go to settings and date and time and change a setting then change back

After u have done all this reboot...

For ur status bar I would just set it to transparent in tweaks and not in nova..

After I had posted, I did a system wipe and re-flashed Hyperdrive RLS18.

For the date - I followed your suggestions after I re-flashed. The date in the notification (drop down) screen came back; but now it is gone again :( I changed the color and rebooted again...the drop down clock changed color; but the date is still missing.

I changed the status bar to transparent; and it seems to be sticking. However, I have not installed Nova yet.

The alarm clock is now back.

When I re-flashed this morning; I did a wipe...but I didn't clear my data. I'm wondering if I should have done an advanced one.
