I absolutely agree with you, and i should say in most cases people are only comparing there experiences with previous release experience (wow did that make sense).. i dont think they are customizing too much, they customize only to get the same experience they had in RLS8,9,10, or 11 and everyone i read having problems are totally happy with the over all rom and they seem confident and appreciative of this rom and sbreen94...

I use Tibu to restore because backup account no longer restores them. I also have had two account resets. It was when I lost phone service. I do not have "allow roaming" checked and phone froze requiring reboot and reset of Google account. Tibu has never caused me a problem. I wouldn't be flashing roms if I had to restore all my apps manually each time. You, Sir, seem to be blessed with near infinite patience.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
I her ya on trying to restore all apps every time, since every time you flash a rom your Android id changes All you need to do is change your Android Id back with in titanium to your id previous id associated with your account.

Nothing manual other than that

It will restore all ur apps.

Third time waking up to list Google account. Never happened on rls10. Clean install, stock kernel. Can't wait for the next update.

Same here going back to rls 10.2 , also that's the most downloaded rom according to android host.

Thanks. I will look in Tibu for that option next time.

Before I had to Odin the other night I ran this for a week not disconnected once. Since, it's happened 7 times in 2 days. Ridiculous! The only thing I did different was select the transparent weather widget. I wonder.....

How did you pull Wanam? I renamed the apk but is there a better way?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
First I cleared data and cache in application manager then I went into xposed and un-tick. After long press and poked in installed.. Rebooted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 96cobra:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazepr:
I did tty this and nothing I have 6gb free so dont see why
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 96cobra:
Yeah, renaming was the last resort when the uninstall failed. I also used the application manager to turn it off but then I started getting the "connect to an original samsung charger" (or whatever the actual message is) notification.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] krazykevin76:
I've been on RLS 12 since the 26th and for the first half of this time I only had 1 google account reset. But since that reset I've had numerous. Seems like its getting worse. I still run the Rom because I think it is worth it. I agree it's the best battery life of all the HD roms. But, I'd tend to disagree about the "only 1 to 2%" having this issue comment. I think it is way more than that. And if you want to run a custom rom, but not customize anything, well that don't make much sense to me. I do think it is something in aroma or that can be installed with aroma. I've reset my phone and have performed a clean install without any custom options and zero TiBu data restores and STILL get google resets.

I don't know exactly what is causing this but I agree with some previous posters about it has to do something with losing signal. Everytime I have had issues with google accounts, I've add very odd behavior with my signal and/or sim card. I've put my phone to sleep and upon awaking it, I've had zero signal in a strong 4g area. I had to turn my phone off and back on, and all was well but no google account. Several other times I've woke my phone to no signal and a sim card error message when I know for a fact that the sim card is fine.

With all that being said, I still use RLS 12 as a daily driver. No other issues at all. Runs smooth and has excellent battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] transfan:
Is there a fix for the Titanium Backup issue? Whenever I restore any apps, they force close. It makes Titanium backup useless.

Help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Looking at the times download versus members posting issues with Google, is how I tosses the 2 percent

Anyway

I believe it has something to do wanam. Or a combination of that and speed or optimizing tweaks.

My phone is on all day and any wares from 6 to 9 hours of screen /awake time.

Rebooting, flashing, editing smali, tweaking etc

Also I never lost a signal that I know of either, what modem you using?

I'm on mk2, with talexop kernel

And everything just works perfect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
I don't think there's a fix, there's known issues restoring on 4.3 that's what I've read at least.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Give this app a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viper.tbrestorefixerfree&hl=en
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] krazykevin76:
r_hippy, I agree with you. I think it has something to do with wanam also. I'm not trying to blame anyone or say it is or isn't the rom. I just think that if a person installs this rom and nothing else the google account issue can be replicated, we just don't know how, yet! It IS something inside the rom package. I have installed the rom with a few options enabled with aroma and have not installed any other program and still have gotten lost google accounts. Again, not saying it IS the Rom, but I think it has to do with the multitude of options that the rom presents. And I think wanum is the culprit, somehow!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] transfan:
I tried this and it still doesn't work. Also it's not a 4.3 issue. I have 4.3 on stock and Titanium Backup works fine. It just does not work on this particular rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Hey it could be, just repeating something I saw in an earlier thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
I haven't had any issues restoring apps via TiBu (have unistalled and reinstalled this rom multiple times to test it).

As far as the google account issue, IT IS NOT JUST ON THIS ROM. I know a few folks with Note 3's that it happens to, and the fix is to go to application manager > select google play services > clear data and cache (do the same for google play store). After that go reboot to recovery and clear cache's. It worked for me and many others, haven't had issues since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
Works fine for me on this particular rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
how long of a period have you gone since doing this that google account didn't reset. I am averaging about 2 weeks between resets...are talking longer than 2 weeks since you did this and not have a rest?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
Correct, I'm at 18 days right now. Watch, now that I'm saying all this it'll happen today :silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
I know....I about 14 days when I first installed HD12 before I had my first google reset....been about 10 days since the last one. I'm waiting for the next one to do what you suggest and see how that goes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrv331:
When I go into google play services I can clear my cache but my "data" tab is not selectable ( hope thats the right word). I have no way of clearing data. I did clear all the others that were mentioned and well see how it goes. Ive only lost my google acct twice over a month.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] transfan:
I tried wiping data, reinstalling the rom again and I still get force closes.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] todd3835:
It is FAR from the only rom having problems with restoring data. It is a SELinux issue. This rom doesn't have the lib file needed to run the fix. I'll check for it later. I found the fix in the note 3 forums. It was a file I needed to move with root Explorer.

Edit:

First post on second page shows the manual directions as well as has the needed file. Once this is there, the tb restore fixer app works fine. You can also run the restorecon command in a terminal prompt.

I really love the rom... but I was losing my Gmail accounts at least once every three days.. and my Gmail notifications weren't working correctly even when the accounts were active. .. And today I could open apps but certain things would not respond to touch.. I'm not complaining I'm just sharing my experience. I had to restore tor stock only because I rely on my email quite a bit as I am searching for jobs and also the not responding to touch scared me.... but still ... awesome rom!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
I wish my phone was as snappy as some of you are claiming yours to be. I have never considered this phone to be fast though unless I was on aosp. I don't blame scott though, I blame Samsung and TW. Maybe my expectations are too high of Samsung or maybe my idea of fast is unrealistic for a non aosp ROM on a Samsung device. :( great ROM though. Can't wait to try out 13 soon! I'm sure it will be faster and smoother

Hey I've been having a problem flashing rls12. I created a new rom slot in safestrap, flashed the rom, then flashed the modules (mj7), and it bootloops. Get's to the google screen but not the boot logo. I flashed rls11 and it's working fine. Any ideas? I can provide more information too, I don't know what this is caused by. I also tried flashing ktoonz kernel and also the kernel recommended in aroma.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WordsworthESP:
We use Safestrap because the bootloader is locked. You cannot flash kernels with a locked bootloader. I feel like a broken record.

What Hyperdrive version are you trying to flash? It has to be the Verizon Safestrap version of RLS12. If you have the correct ROM version, there have been some issues with the ROM Slot. I'd recommend backing up your Stock Slot and flashing it there. Just make sure you know what you're doing before you do. Also, don't forget to read and search the thread of you have an issue, chances are someone else has had it and the answers are already here.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thornev:
Unless you're on MDK you cannot flash kernels. And the modules.zip you flash is the one that matches the rom in the stock slot. At least that's my experience.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WordsworthESP:
It's carrier/build based. We can't flash kernels with a locked bootloader, so we flash the modules for our specific kernel. If he has MJ7, then he's flashing the right kernels, but that's information we don't have at the moment. Even then, I don't know if that would prevent it from booting, probably just his WiFi, etc. wouldn't work. The problem most likely lies between the ROM version he's attempting to flash, and the ROM slot itself. I could only get RLS12 to boot on the Stock Slot, myself, and had to delete (not just deactivate) and recreate ROM Slot 1 to get SHOstock to boot. So there are some issues there, as Hashcode has acknowledged.

Ignore that and don't tell TWRP to fix it. It is looking for the pre-KK superuser and not finding it. If you upgrade TWRP to 2.6.3.1 it no longer does that. (Not necessarily recommending that, btw. It works, but a lot of folks think it causes the occasional splash screen hangs.)

Guys

I'm still on 10.x. One thing that bugs me a lot which was also in stock is that every time I'm outdoors on 4G and open up the browser or another app requiring internet access, I get prompted with a list of surrounding wifi networks. I hate this prompt and would like to get rid of it. Any way to do that without disabling my wifi radio when leaving home?

How Losing Your Google Account Could Cost You $$

How Losing Your Google Account Could Cost You $$

In earlier posts, I've mentioned how losing my Google accounts is

NOT

really "no big deal" the way some have described, at least not for me. Now I want to share a cautionary tale, hoping that this doesn't happen to anyone else:

I've been dealing with the unexpected G-account losses, primarily by having TiBu backup key files nightly, which I now restore after adding back my gmail accounts. But I overlooked something, and it could end up costing me $$.

In short, I have a rather large Picasa account where I store images, and my device is sync'ed to that account. When my Google account was lost, I'm pretty sure the device have deleted all of the image files - I'm not sure why this would happen, and not even 100% sure that it did, but for what happened next:

When I added the account back, it proceeded to re-download them again -- all of them -- over the 4g network (I guess whenever I lost my account in the past I was on/near wi-fi). See where I'm heading here?. In any case, having no idea this was happening, and over 850 MB later, I received a text from Verizon letting me know that I was approaching my data plan cap and would be charged if I went over.

Fortunately I only have a few days left until my cycle resets, but I could easily see how something like this could be a costly event.

If you're in a similar situation, there are two things you can do to prevent this from happening:

--> In your Gallery settings, make sure that the setting "Sync only via wi-fi" is checked. Pretty sure it is checked by default, but I must have unchecked it at some point for some reason.

--> If you photo-sync with Picasa or other Google photo accounts, you may want to leave the 'Sync Photos' setting unchecked within each of those accounts. You can always sync manually. Alternatively, leave them checked but whenever you 'add back' your Google accounts, uncheck them until you're in a safe (read: Wi-fi) place.

Peace.:cowboy:

***Random account lose update*** it just happened again. I also noticed that the Verizon widgets I have for keeping track of minutes used and data used have losed their information and have to input my account login information. This'd of course in addition to having to rebuild the Google account I use for email and contacts. Just wanted to add that observation. Been running fine with no problems for 4 or 5 days. Another thing I noticed 2 days ago was an alert that popped up asking me to press here to update my security policies... It had a solid colored shield that would not go away. I task managered it away and then went to the app in applications mgr and disabled it's notifications. It was called security policy updates and its icon has a green up arrow on its shield. Hope this helps......

My Verizon widget issue might not be valid because I just tried to login to my account via Verizon website and was unable to. It has been 15 minutes since I lost my Google account so my issuer with Verizon widget might not be valid because the site is unable to authenticate me right now.
