Question for Safestrap users - Am finally planing to install RLS21 on Tuesday. (I know, I know.... just haven't been able to make time until now):(

I seem to remember a post that didn't mention installing gogolies fix. I generally install gogolies and then whichever modem is the latest during installation, just wondering if gogolies fix is required anymore. Sure, I can figure this out by trial & error, only asking if one of ya'll have tried this as.

I've only experienced HD since RLS16 and have yet to have any installation problems at all, not once (at the same time just tying to cross my "T's" etc because I've been so busy lately - and trying to save myself any hassle).:D

BTW: Bootloader MK2, Baseband NK1, Build NC5 (Safestrap 3.75 Stock) RLS20

For those with battery issues you should search for posts by cobra7361 - this member has helped me immensely!!! I may not use my GS4 as aggressively as most users, but at the same time lately I leave all of my radios/etc turned on 24/7. At the end of the day it is RARE that I am below 50%:cool:

My GS4 has not charged since 8am this morning; worked 13 hours (many phone calls); ran TB full backup, running Dropbox/BOX uploads now (still @ 35% charge, uploads been running full wifi for about 1 1/2 hours) - it's now 2:09am!!! I'm not bragging, only stating that battery life can be awesome using HD!

PS: Some unasked advice... I've mentioned this a while back...

I created a document for Hyperdrive (I use Word, but of course you should use your preferred software)

Then copied & pasted the OP + instructions

After this I just kept adding (copy/paste) any additional information that might be relevant for myself and/or bookmarking additional pages to my browser

As you read/search through this thread (or any other) just continue to perform the same process

this way you don't really need to search the thread as much because you info is on hand

at the same time you are able to provide additional information to the members trying to assist you - and you have a backup of your conversation

and when you do make your own post - you can check these from your CONTROL PANEL

I'm not an expert, nor a Dev. Only providing my '5 Guinness' solutions at the moment. Works for me, I hope this info works for you.

ATM my GS4 "notes" doc is 3.4mb (may be difficult to read as I haven't bookmarked it, only a document by date/time) = if anybody wants it I'll upload it, just send me a PM.

later, and thanks again to sbreen.

PSS: sorry for the long post.

Ever since I first used SS you should use the Stock slot - you can google/youtube for others that have had some success using other than the stock slot, but not recommended.

I flashed today and I don't remember if I did the modules or not... Most likely I did the nc5 modules which does the same wifi fix. Come to think of it, I flashed about 5 times today...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Niotic:
I am originally on stock NK1, in order to get my wifi to work I had to Odin down to NC5, install HD then flash NC5 modules. From what I noticed though upon every restart after doing this, it did take a second for wifi to start up. Sometimes I had to hit the wifi button twice in order for it to work. I think it's just some silly software issue where the modem takes a second to actually boot up after the system restarts but other than that it works fine!

[MENTION=4600715]sbreen94[/MENTION] Will the next iteration of Hyperdrive explore Lollipop? Or will it start to include Galaxy S6 features? Just curious on what the plans for the future are...if there are any, of course. I'm loving RLS21!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Depends on how Dev work goes on nk4/OC1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
I don't know if you've flashed already, but I went from RLS19 to RLS21 with no module flashing. I just chose the "Safestrap users" kernel option (I forget how it's worded in the Aroma installer), pressed 'back' after install, and flashed the Hyperdrive UI. Rebooted and enjoyed ever since.

I agree with the battery life you have. I get awesome batt life on my S4 with pretty much all versions of HD since around 15 when I think I first flashed (might have been 16 though, not sure anymore). I'll post my current stats in a bit once it's below 10%.

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

I never use anything but the Stock Slot as per the SafeStrap insctructions and I've never had a problem. Just do like mkoyskip said and make a backup of your StockSlot prior to wiping it out. Or don't and you'll have to Odin it back in if you want it back later. Personally, I make a backup via SafeStrap, then copy it from my ExtCard to my computer for safe keeping.

I really don't understand what's going on with a few users' battery life but mine has always been great with HyperDrive. Even with the stock ROM I've never been real disappointed with it. Here are a couple of screenshots I just took on HDRLS21:

[IMG="Screenshot 1"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56870309/Screenshot_2015-05-26-22-41-29.png[/IMG] [IMG="Screenshot 2"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56870309/Screenshot_2015-05-26-22-41-37.png[/IMG]

Now this isn't always the case for me, but I do hit 24+ hrs enough times that it no longer surprises me at all. With typical moderate use I probably average around 13-15 hours before I plug it in. Of course playing a lot of games on the phone will drain it faster (varies depending on the game).

I am on SafeStrap and so use the stock kernel. My baseband is NK1 although I've thought about flashing a newer one.

I use the free version of Greenify with the Xposed module activated.

I use the free version of Amplify.

I use the Xposed module BootManager to stop things I rarely/never use from starting on boot.

I use JuiceDefender Ultimate as well. It is by far the best $4.99 I've spent on the GooglePlay store. I started out using the free version for a week or two. I purchased 'Ultimate" to get the fine-tuning control over everything. I'm currently using the Advanced profile.

I Play a couple of games and a lot of internet... Might try these apps out

That said, on average, I get about half an hour more per day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
I was just reading an article about GreenPower a few minutes ago. It's supposedly free and is reported to do as good as JuiceDefender. I'm going to check it out and compare. I know JD has a ton of tweaks from screen brightness, to sync shcedules, and even CPU throttling.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Every bit helps although I could burn through my battery in an hour or so when I play Brave or Clash(don't judge).

So... How goes the work on Lollipop??

Oh my god!!!! Do not ask about an update!! The breenbots will come down on you with force of christ himself!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] inetquestion:
UI zip file used on other ROMs?

Haha, I know right... seems easy enough to solve. Just say what's going on with a little detail behind it rather than treating it like fort knox.

Out of curiosity since the UI is now a different zip file, can this be used on any rooted 4.x android rom? Or is there something baked into the ROM which require the two to be married?

-Inet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
I'd say used on any other ROM otherwise it would have been in the initial install of the ROM, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] inetquestion:
UI zip

Dunno, I hadn't seen any explanation as to why there are two zips. My assumption was the app doing the tweaking (UI) was separated to allow more portability. I tried adding it to a CM12.1 build and it failed. That could be because thats running lollipop. Haven't tried it with another 4.x rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
So far so good with GreenPower running on its own (Free version).

29% after 24.25 hrs. I still think I will prefer JuiceDefenders myriad of customizations but out of the box with minimal setup this app does great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] craigviar:
If I install this rom without the new UI zip, will it still have the old UI? Will it work? This gps/location toggle is pissing me off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
The ROM won't even boot up without the UI zip. Whats wrong with the toggle...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] craigviar:
Copy & paste from older post...

The notification area toggles. As of version 19 it always said GPS, now it says "location". But what it says isn't my issue but rather the behaviour of the toggle. Instead of turning just the GPS on and off it turns ALL location services on and off.

I don't know about everyone else but normally I keep network based location always on so that my weather app (for example) will work properly. And the GPS I would only turn on when I need it like when using Maps (for example).

So now I cant just turn the GPS on with a toggle I have to go into settings to turn it on. I've been with Hyperdrive since version 16 and this was never an issue until now, v21.

So it had since been explained to me that this is a Samsung feature for the new UI. Well i hate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Ah. I always do it manually so I never paid attention to that.

Installing this effectively bricked my phone. I have used HyperDrive for years now, and when installing the latest version I didn't install the new UI bs.

Now I'm sitting here getting a force close message for android keyguard any time I touch the screen. Can't boot into recovery at all (only android recovery), and it seems that the phone is not even rooted.

I have been messing with it for 2 hours trying to fix this, does anyone else have any ideas?

Yep, should have done the UI. This part annoys me so [MENTION=4600715]sbreen94[/MENTION] has our answer. I assume it couldn't be inside the main zip for some reason. Gonna have to odin back to nc5 or MDK or whatever you had before.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AngelRyu:
I've been doing lots of research about this rom and it looks stock to me with awesome tweaks.... But I heard the latest one has bugs that fc the gallery and if could get version 19 everything would be stable... but not sure where it is since the newest of the oldest is v15.

I am thinking of flashing this to just try it out for my uncle's s4 & see how it is stable but I'm still on 4.2.2 and haven't downloaded a recovery(Was gonna download goomanager to get the twrp BUT do I have to do a firmware update before flashing this and if not can I restore back to my 4.2.2 from the 4.4.2 if some reason it isn't as stable as I thought? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
don't update anything from verizon. There is no going back to mdk. Get twrp, and flash a rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mettee:
Yes lots of FC's on this for gallery and some others. Longer I run the rom the less stable it gets.

19 is by far the best version to run.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Trifool:
"Is there any way to disable flipbook from the home screen swipe?"

Long press the screen like your going to place a widget or change your wallpaper. You should then get 3 options (wallpaper widgets & home screen settings). Press home screen settings. You will see an option for My Magazine. Remove the check mark from the box. This will remove Flipboard from the home screen and slow you to go completely around your screens, if you have chosen this option in your setup.

Hello sbreen94!

I have been a longtime Hyperdrive user (Since RLS16) and would love to continue, however, as of recently I moved on to the deodexed stock lollipop rom. There is one thing that made your rom perfect for me. Something that I saw only once or twice a day. Something I couldn't find anywhere else that was executed so perfectly.

The Boot Animation.

I've scoured the internet, looked all over XDA, and yet I cannot find any boot animations that are as good as yours.

I was in love with the stock Google Android L boot animation the most. And seeing as stock lollipop touchwiz doesn't support bootanimation.zip theming, I have been looking for a qmg version. I have found 3, all of which were laggy, low quality, buggy, and way too zoomed in / big.

Is there any way I can get this animation in qmg format directly from your rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilestoad:
21 is nice and speedy and solid so far.

Anyone know how to change the grid size of the touchwiz that we choose at install? I've got an app drawer that's 6x5 and icons/text are too small so I'd like to make it at least 5.x.5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kriptik210:
Sorry for not reading through 3000 pages. On the Verizon version, it won't allow me to change the APN setting. Is there a work around?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
You don't have to read 3000 pages. Just type "apn settings" in search.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
There is a link for 19 but I'll admit it is not easy to find. Here's a link to my Dropbox where I kept it backed up in case you can't find it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1f2iwx6togt1uiw/Hyperdrive RLS19 KK S4.zip?dl=0

Installing this did NOT brick your phone. You not reading and following simple and clear instructions messed up your phone (it's not bricked technically, just the UI is in a constant state of crashing and restarting).

riker147 is correct--you'll have to Odin back to a stock image and proceed from there. It's important to read all of the instructions BEFORE using this or any ROM/custom software.

For gallery FC'ing issues everyone just install the Samsung Any Gallery xposed module and install and use QuickPic Gallery. Trust me it's better than the stock gallery anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Azuma73:
Okay, been on 21 since day 1 & really have NO complaints.

However, I have 2 calender apps & have known about it. I just blew it off. Now neither of them will let me create an event?

I soft bricked my phone after trying to re-flash Hyperdrive 21 and realizing I had removed the file from my phone. I'm trying to reflash a regular firmware version just to get it up and running, then flash it back to Hypderdrive. What firmware version do I need to download to flash in Odin? NC5 is giving me SW REV CHECK FAIL fused: 7 binary: 6. I was using safestrap 3.72.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rmedure:
Whenever I've needed to go back to a good known rootable stock state, I've had good results on my VZW S4 by using Odin 3.07 and using files found here on XDA (fJFLTE_USA_VZW_16G.pit and ALL_VZW_I545VRUFNC5_I545VZWFNC5_1151670_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5). The instructions I use are: remove battery for 5 sec, hold down vol down, home, and pwr button, start Odin, connect phone, select PIT and select the .pit file, select AP and select the NC5 tar, and run.

Hope this helps ...

So I did the same thing. I found that if you are patient enough once you click "OK" on the FC message you can click on the screen. It's a huge pain but it worked for me. I was able to re-root (I always lose root when i flash, my fault) and re-install safestrap then reboot and flash the UI. It took probably about 30 minutes to do all of that, but once done this ROM is awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
I've had to do that before on occasion. Trying to click through the force-close messages to install towel root and safestrap can be a pain but is usually possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xucardsfan08:
I was one of those unlucky fellas who did not read to install the UI as well and wasted hours of my life trying to work through and get back to be able to reinstall RS21. Finally got it working and it is fast and great!

One question, I'm not sure if this is an RS21 issue, Next Launcher 3D issue, or charger issue; but when I plug my phone into my dock, some widgets on my phone disappear and others get rearranged. I have never seen this issue but it always happens when I charge it on the dock, and when I remove it from the dock, but not any other chargers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] maddog00:
Anyone have poor battery with RLS21? I'm figuring it might be a misbehaving app, just can't figure it out.

My battery life is hit or miss. Lately it's horrible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
Mine is great to be honest. I use Greenify, Amplify, and JuiceDefender though. I tried GreenPower in lieu of JuiceDefender for about a week and it works well too. I just prefer the granularity of control you get with JuiceDefender.

Has anyone else had issues with wifi not working and the WiFi icon turning on the hotshot. This happened once with the previous version and a reflash fixed it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AsaSpades:
Unfortunately ive had this issue on an older version. Wipe and reflash. You turned on the Wifi Hotspot while you were on Wifi. For some reason with this ROM, as soon as you do that it locks your Wifi to the Hotspot and Wifi will never work again. I feel your pain, it drove me nuts.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Trifool:
The upgrade to RLS 21 from 20 took away the capabilty of filming in slow-motion with the video. Being able to film in slow-motion was great when analyzing swings and showing proper motion to the kids. I can't remember if the capability of filming in slow-motion was present in version 19. If it was present, that would be great if there is a way to get that camera back as it may solve two things for me. That's because when I take pictures and go directly into Gallery to view the picture I get a FC. I then have to click the "OK" to close the box and it will take me back to the camera. I then can chose to view the picture and be taken to Gallery and everything will work fine. My priority is trying to get the slow-motion filming back but if I can kill two birds with one stone I thought I would ask. I'm running the NC5 with SS 3.75. No issues with WiFi or anything else, that I have noticed. Just would like to resolve the camera....thanks!
