Just switched from an AT&T S4 and came over to Big Red. Was lucky enough that I had a cool rep who found an MDK for me. So far enjoying this ROM. Was running GE on my AT&T one. The VZW S4 feels different to me. Its not as snappy as the AT&T one. Using KT with his settings, Comadose/Crossbreeder, and check Greenify religiously on this phone and battery life is somewhat subpar. Its only been a day. I'll give it another week or so. Love the customization and everything included on this though. Great job!

KT kernels have been laggy on some phones. Try some other kernels such as Faux or Elite. Both of these have worked well for me.

DynamicNotifications...does it work with HyperDrive?

Has anyone been able to get DynamicNotifications to work? I saw earlier in this gigantic thread that the free app it was once included in the rom but was removed. Is it a no go?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drbveb88:
I used philz as well but the backup and restore time was killing me. It was talking 15-20 min per nandroid, same for you?

And when your waiting for the backup to finish before you flash...minutes seem like hours. Lol:D

TWRP Continued Issues

Hey, everyone, so I wanted to let you all know that I have continued to see very significant issues with TWRP and wiping. Specifically, it doesn't seem to do it right. For those of you running out of storage because of fantom storage consumption after a few/many wipes, it's because TWRP isn't wiping properly and cleaning up. Same for those that wipe system, install the ROM fresh, reboot, and get stuck at the Samsung screen.

If you were ODIN'ing back to stock as the only fix, it isn't necessary. All you have to do is load some version of CWM (I'm using Philz touch now) and run a full reset from there. Yes, you'll have to restore all data from your internal storage, but you'll be back to a fresh slate.

I was down below 700MB of internal space available, backed up EVERYTHING, installed CWM, did a full device wipe from within CWM, reloaded Hyperdrive, restored EVERYTHING, and now have 6GB free on internal storage.

I hate to say it, but right now, I recommend avoiding TWRP. If you aren't having problems, at some point, you probably will. If you're sticking with it, then heed this post as your disclaimer. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sup0man:
Wow it's been awhile since I've flashed. I'm replacing my phone through Best Buy's insurance and the new one's on the ME7 firmware. I've managed to get it rooted and with Safestrap installed; I was wondering if anyone has experience making previous nandroid backups work with the new Safestrap version of TWRP? After I restored my old nandroid file (which I'd made using TWRP 2.6) I was unable to reboot recovery anymore. Do I just have to abandon those old nandroids?

Advice is appreciated folks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thornev:
I'm not sure this is your problem because you said you were able to restore your old nandroids, but... It's not that you're using a different TWRP. It's that because of your new phone, the folder in which TWRP stores your nandroids is different. Use a file browser on the location where you stored your nandroids and you'll see.

To use the older nandroids you have to move the backup files from the old folder and into the new folder.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JediMindTrixx:
Sometimes you just have to do that... Glad it's working bro!

Anytime!!!

---------- Post added at 08:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 AM ----------

You should always wipe... When we test we wipe to get a clean slate...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Obsidian_soul:
Do not use those back ups, me7 bootloader is locked, your nandroids from mdk have modified bootloader because off the Loki exploit . They will fail or worse case scenario brick your phone

Thank you. I suppose to play it safe I'll avoid using those backups and start over. Appreciate the advice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
Sounds like you were using 2.6 version of TWRP or did unnecessary wiping. I've been running 2.5.0.2 since I got this phone (june), haven't had any issues what so ever

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BillBauman:
I've used 2.5, 2.6, 2.6.3. They all have caused some sort of wiping issue at some time or another. I've seen that 2.5 is definitely the best of them all, but not completely problem-free for everyone. In this thread alone there are folks that reported 2.5 did not resolve their issues. On one of my GS4's, I've seen 2.5 work without problem, on the other, it couldn't complete a data/system wipe without error.

My point is that there is no totally trouble-free TWRP for all users on the VZ GS4 at this point. If it's working great for you, that's awesome, I'm jealous. As I've stated in several previous posts, I really, really prefer its interface. But, for piece of mind, I'm just going to stick with CWM for now. It works, on both my phones, every time, without a second thought.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
I have used TWRP in several versions with no problems. Earlier Philz Touch wouldn't work with my 64gb exFat sdcard but 5.08.5 works fine. Both have their good points. I am glad we have both.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattie_49:
Twrp is fine as long as you don't format data requiring yes to proceed.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BillBauman:
Ha! I have to admit, the part of "size of your phone" made me laugh, if you get what I'm saying. :)

Kidding aside, though, you're absolutely right. Not every single phone is identical, we seem to go over that again and again with kernels and low level mods that don't always act the same on all devices. Much like, wiping partitions, formatting, etc. It's pretty clear that TWRP is not quite "there" yet. It's easy to find dozens (hundreds?) of people with problems with all versions of TWRP across GS4 devices here on XDA with a simple search.

What I find more interesting are all the people that seem to think TWRP version x.x.x.x is perfect and will work for everyone simple because it works for them. As I've said, I'm jealous if your device is working perfectly with it, but that doesn't mean it's nearly as reliable a tool as CWM is at this point.

TWRP problem search: http://xdaforums.com/sitesearch.php?q=twrp gs4 problem

CWM problem search: http://xdaforums.com/sitesearch.php?q=twrp gs4 problem

Note CWM starts with FAQ's and guides. TWRP results start with problems. Add 2.5.0.2 to your search and you find plenty of people experiencing problems with that version, as well. You can actually find the same in this thread alone.

So, my post/comments stand. There are problems with TWRP, and for those of you having the specific issues I stated earlier, CWM will offer you fixes/solutions without having to ODIN back to stock.

Bill,

I have a question you and wiping, before the next update, I want to wipe internal and external completely clean start on a clean slate, I'm rooted and not using Safestrap, have custom recover, how would I go about that without ODIN back to stock and re-rooting?

When I install the rom, I want everything as clean and a empty as new. Don't really know how to go about it?

Your opinion would go a long way.

Thanks,

Rob

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BillBauman:
In theory, put the Hyperdrive release on your external SD, make sure you've gotten any ringtones, app data, pictures, etc., saved off your internal storage. I always triple check this in case there was some image from Viber or something like that that I'd forgotten about that I really wanted. Then, boot to recovery and do a complete wipe. Personally, I'd use Philz CWM for this. I've done it with TWRP, CWM and Philz Touch CWM.

If you've been following along, you know I don't have confidence that TWRP will give you exactly what you want every time. It could, it should, it might, but no guarantees. I really dislike the interface of all the CWM builds, but, they work, and they are fast (faster than TWRP's response time on this phone). Seriously, not that that should really matter for such one-time tasks as recovery, but hey.

You could use any custom recovery to flash PhilZ from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2322675 Click on the Verizon Loki Patched link and click the link in that post for the latest version. Download that .zip, put it anywhere accessible on your phone, extSD or internal. Boot to recovery, select that zip, install it, Reboot Recovery, you'll now be running Philz.

You'll need to go into one of the advanced menus, I can't remember exactly off the top of my head, to get to the full system wipe inside Philz CWM. It's not super straight-forward, but you'll figure it out. After that, you should be good to go. In the install menu, the first SDcard listed is internal, there's an option at the bottom of the list in (Philz) CWM that's for your external card. The latest version DOES support 64GB exFAT, I used it with my Samsung Pro 64GB.

BTW, if you go with philz_touch_5.15.0-jfltevzw_loki.zip and want an md5 file for it, I've attached a zip file of an md5 for that recovery install for peace of mind.

Any questions, let me know. Best of luck.

Not that I know of. I can tell you, though, that I successfully decreased the "major" volume hack to the "slight" volume hack. It fixed some significant distortion/clipping issues. I don't recommend the big one.

Ok. Well im not sure what my recovery is. If i hold the power button and choose recovery mode, the phone reboots and this screen comes up saying Android system recovery <3e> at the top. Under that I have 6 options.... Reboot system now, apply update from ADB, apply update from external storage, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and apply update from cache. . SO your say to boot into recovery and then choose "apply update from external storage". I can then choose the .zip for the keyboard and then I can do the same process and choose the .zip for the animations?

As far as my internal storage problem.....Certain apps will not install bc my system memory is low.....chrome, all samsung apps and mostly other google apps. Its weird though because other apps that I have like Tango and Facebook will update. So I went to Storage under settings and find that I have 1.89 GB Available space. I would think this would be enough space for apps to update but apparently not. Under "Miscellaneous files", it says Im using 6.49 GB with just that. Crazy. So I open it up and I am going to post what is under it...hopefully you or someone can help me with what is safe to move to my SD card.

Don't forget that all these also affect battery life: reception, brightness, CPU intensive apps, widgets, sync timers, power saving mode, CPU clocks, sensors, WiFi vs LTE, data on/off, GPS on/off, BT on/off, vibration behaviors (keypress, text, ect ), wake times... and I can go on and on.

Too many variables to compare, it should be based on stock vs rom for the SAME USER. Always compare improvements based on a control (STOCK).

What I'm getting at is I would like to see someone with a SS of what they usually get on stock, then another SS with hyperdrive.
