Hey all couple of questions. 1. How can I get rid of the post-call screen. It wasn't there in rls15. I skipped 16 and 17 but in 17.1 it was back and now still 18.1. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. No it is not convenient to hit the back or home button to get out of it faster and even if I do there is still a slight delay.

2. Holding volume up button while screen off to use torch. Doesn't work anymore. I noticed as of 17.1+ it was taken out of the hdtweaks app and moved to the regular phone settings. So yes I did find it, it's turned on but no go.

I have xposed installed with a few modules, mainly to work with greenify for better battery life. I have zero issues, HD18.1 has been rock solid for me.

By the way Gadget I saw your screen shots of your battery life, that's better than what I'm getting and I thought mine was pretty good. I also am also using Ktoonz kernal, are you using stock settings or using one of the profiles?

Battery Guide Updated

Hey, everyone, just FYI, I have made some small, but significant updates to the battery guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45976346#post45976346

Major changes:

Don't worry about Autostart

Use NLPUnbounce (another awesome little Xposed module that should get more press than it does)

Mail clients are dependent on number of accounts, but no IMAP client seems to behave well if you have 6+ accounts, use Greenify, manually check

Don't worry about managing GPS if you do everything else correctly

I'm getting awesome battery life on 18.1 In the range of 5 hours screen time, as others have posted.

Is it possible to install an application from this rom without reinstalling the ROM again? Installed the miui music player, don't care for it as it doesn't broadcast to my Bluetooth player.... So wanted to reinstall the Samsung player
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] craigviar:
Anyone else having heating issues? I've been noticing it but didn't think about it being connected to 18.1 until today. If it's unknown k am going to restore my 17.1 backup for a day and see if it keeps doing that.

If the screen is on, the heat gradually increases, even if just Facebooking or web browsing. The hot area seems to be centered around the SD/SIM cards and camera but of course spreads and the battery heats up as well. Even the screen gets very hot. All extra radios are off. Bluetooth, nfc, wifi, GPS etc.

So I'm having issues with trying to install the ROM. I do the Factory Reset, and wipe the cache/dalvik cache, flash the super su, and it just boot lops. Over and over. Is there something I'm missing?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sternweezy:
I've noticed this same thing since build 17. If I'm using navigation the phone ends up going into a "cool down mode" because it gets so hot. Curious if you have a replacement screen in your phone. Not sure if its related or would even matter but I replaced my screen hrs before I first had this issue and have had it ever since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nu2droid:
Should be able to. in something like root explorer. Navigate to the hyperdrive zip file. Open it and go to the folder called "hyperdrive". Then the folder "music".

Extract it . Remove the existing music app or rename it (in the system\app folder) copy the new one in that folder , change permissions to match the others. . Wipe cache.... Reboot

Should do the trick.

I keep getting a notification about security updates on my phone as well. Did you get a response whether we should take it or not?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] craigviar:
Yes, reboot or no reboot. Different batteries. All the same.

I googled this issue and found some year and a half old reports of the same problem when the S4 was new many of them while using navigation. I have never replaced the screen but I did buy the phone used, but It hasn't always done that, im guessing its KK related?

For me it doesn't matter what is running. If the screen is on, its getting hot. I can say this because i tether my PC to the phone for home internet and I can be watching netflix or something, the phone screen is off and its not getting hot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spikelangelo:
I too have been having this issue for while now. It started on 17.1, but long after I flashed it so I can't see it being directly ROM related, however it continued with 18 and 18.1. At this point i have cpu temp constantly displayed on the status bar so I can monitor it.

I also tether regularly but I have ruled this out as a cause. Mine does get hot while the screen is off too. The temp increase is not constant but it is frequent. If I leave the ROM stock after flashing I don't seem to have the issue.

What I have found to make a big improvement for me was installing the nlpunbounce xposed module. It still gets hot sometimes but nowhere near as much. This makes me think either Google or some location app made a change that increased its location awareness. (Disabling GPS alone did not resolve so network location probably involved too)

It still gets hot sometimes but at least it's manageable now. Before the only thing I could do that always worked was pull the battery and put the phone in the fridge/freezer for 3 minutes.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Joe_6pak:
Well, I finally got this bad boy loaded. It was a struggle, but I'm there. As always - GREAT work guys! I'll do my best to donate after a few days of "settling in".

Few things:

1. Got around the TiBU restore hangup by going to preferences, app processing mode and change to Interactive. Tried indirect, but that didn't work either. Took a little time, but got them all back. First time it's ever happened - hope it's the last. Hate to have to ditch TiBU for AppMonster!

2. Had an issue with my Google account that wouldn't allow updates or installs. Deleted the account, re-established it, and everything worked fine.

3. Don't attempt to change the CPU settings of the Ktoonz kernel through Hyperdrive Tweaks, and ESPECIALLY don't set them to start on boot! Got stuck at the Samsung unlock screen with a flashing blue light. Luckily, a battery pull fixed that. Haven't seen anything that scary since my last PC motherboard death (stupid beeping POS)!

Will let you know if anything else crops up. BTW, my vote for next big feature would be for a way to save all my tweak changes from flash to the next. That would be REALLY handy! Oh, and NLPUnbounce is f'n awesome - thanks BillBauman for that heads-up!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] travisjshepherd:
Ok, I'm sure it's in here but I for the life of me can't find it. What/where is the BT fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BillBauman:
Hey, guys, I've seen/had similar issues. What recovery are you using? Do you keep your /data/media when you wipe? I've recently discovered an interesting quirk that seems to cause all sorts of bad things, sadly, my fix for you requires a reinstall. The good news is, it's a potential for for the TiBu restore issue, the battery overheat issue, etc. If you're willing to give it a shot. I did, and it has changed my view on "clean" flashing. I'm pretty sure most of us are not getting a clean flash.

Warning: This is going to wipe your user data, all your pictures, vids, app settings, etc.! If you have S-Notes saved, pictures, anything that you're used to still having after a "clean" flash, then back it up now.

If you want to try it, on TWRP, after you wipe, go to Advanced, File Manager, browse to /sdcard and hit the Select button at the bottom. Now choose Delete. Now you have an actual clean install. If you want to half-way this, and not get rid of everything on your internal SD, you could go into /sdcard/Android and hit Select/Delete from there. The problem there is that you could still have artifacts from apps messing you up that save to their own app folder within /sdcard/<app>.

If anyone tries this, and it seems to address your issue, let us all know. I think it should be added to a FAQ somewhere for problems after a "totally" clean wipe. I think that many of us are not actually getting totally clean wipes, and it's contributing (over time) to a lot of the weird problems. No guarantees, but it can't hurt to give it a shot (as long as you make sure you have EVERYTHING backed up first).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] craigviar:
Funny story.

Was planning to do the advanced wipe yesterday (which amounts to the same thing) and after having already doing a full wipe on the system I was about to do it and then thought hey, let's take the SD card out first to make sure it doesn't get jacked. But I had one of those giant 7500mah batteries that blocks the card slot so I popped that out and pulled the SD. I didn't even have to try to restart the phone to realize I just made a big boo-boo (having already wiped the system). There was no OS to boot to. THEN I realized I no longer had a copy of the NC5 Odin file, must have deleted it by accident. So I had to spend the next several hours tethering my wifes HTC Rezound to the computer to download it, which is very slow even with 4g. By the time I got it fixed I could only restore my nand backup because it was bed time and I needed my alarms for in the morning.

Will try again tonight. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BillBauman:
Sorry to hear that story. Here's the thing, though, and Advanced Wipe in TWRP still does not clean the /sdcard/ directory (your internal SD). Run it, go to File Manager, and check it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Need to use the format data option in twrp for that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vdub2pt0:
Has anyone else been having problems with the SD card constantly being unmounted and mounted on its own? It happens all the time and all the apps that run on media mount and unmount a constantly running because of it.

Just trying to figure out if it's hardware, or an issue with the rom. Thanks

See if it happens on another rom or nandroid. Could be a corrupted card depending on where you got it

I will later when I get time. It's a Sammy 10 class and I've had it for a while with no problems until I flashed 18.1. I've also disabled a lot of the xposed modules I had to see if that was the culprit.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spikelangelo:
This is probably a good idea. I haven't cleaned up my sdcards (internal and external) in a long time. I'm using ktoonse modified TWRP, I think one of the things he corrected was the data wipe thing. Either way, that's easy enough to verify. I'll give this a try when I have some time to spare and report back.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Joe_6pak:
A few quick questions:

1. This issue with Titanium Backup not batch restoring properly has me baffled. I've been reading some stuff online (clever concept, eh?) and have seen some references to a possible incompatibility with TiBU and SuperSU. Is this true? If it is, how can I replace it with Superuser, and do I want to? If my memory serves me correct, 17.1 had Superuser. Never had any problems up to now.

2. I tried to replace the pulldown.png I had with another file by erasing the old one and moving the new one in to my HyperdriveROM folder. Now I get nothing even with the new file there. How do you put a different pic in? Is there a size limit to the png file (saved a jpg as a png through Paint on my PC)? Does flashing the Cobalt theme mess this feature up?

All opinions (except for "mine works fine") welcome :rolleyes: .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spikelangelo:
It's the other way around, titanium has some possible issues with superuser not supersu. My girlfriend's s3 ROM was using superuser and any time you open titanium it would warn about a possible problem. And I'm pretty sure hyperdrive has always used supersu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmackin1016:
TY sir. I shall give this a try. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nu2droid:
Haha..

In reference to #2...

I don't know about the size but make sure you have a png file (not a renamed jpeg) and if I remember correctly the folder name and file name is case sensitive.

Also if that fails might wipe cache.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zeiss74:
2-3 days in, and everything on this ROM is super smooth. my sudden rebooting issue that cropped up on HD14 a few days ago (which i feared was battery/hardware related) has disappeared.

i was having tibu restore problems, but did not realize it was a systemic issue. after reinstalling most apps by hand, i found the "TB restore fixer" app on my phone from last time, and running it seemed to solve the problem. no apps have FCed since running it. i use superSU.

two questions today:

1. can i make the battery text in the upper right larger? even at "regular" the font is only half the size of the time. i see ways to make the % symbol smaller, but not the text larger.

2. i'm completely satisfied with the phone as is, but want to explore xposed a bit. but there are lots of warnings about it. is it really that risky? if it is, i'm fine leaving my phone as is, i don't want to mess it up. but if those warnings are just CYA for 0.001% of cases, then maybe i'll play with xposed. i enjoy tinkering and have never messed up a device, but i'm no android expert. it's a company phone, so i don't really want soft brick or bootloop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Don't know about your first question, as for xposed, it doesn't hurt to try anything you want. Worst case scenario you just uninstall the module that's causing trouble. Just know that wanam and other modules meant for rooted but stock software will sometimes conflict with things in custom roms, and especially this rom because of all of the tweaks added

Chipmunk like sound in Hangouts and Skype

Ok, so this started around the time Rls18 had come, so it has been hard to pinpoint the reason- but I am fairly certain now.

Ever since the latest Google now update came around (with its ok google voice recognition from any screen which coincidentally happened around the time new updates to the ROM were being sent out), I have had trouble with Skype and now with Hangouts and google voice where my sound on any of the calls had a high pitched, sped up, chipmunk like quality.

Turns out this is because of the google now hotword recognition

update-

if you disable the ok google recognition in google now settings everything works ok

again. Seems to be an issue with Verizon S4 and not this ROM, but just writing this for anyone else having the same problem.

I've been using 18.1 for a few weeks and everything is working fine except for one minor issue.

When I am in a group message (text message) and I reply, everyone receives my text message, but it looks to them like I am only sending it directly to them. It doesn't appear to them that I am still messaging the group.

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm on Verizon and using the S5 Messages app installed thru Hyperdrive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] egore93:
Go ahead and activate Google hotward. Now go to your phone app click open your dialer and push your menu key, now push call settings and scroll down to noice reduction and uptick it. This will solve your chipmunk music voice. Let me know if that works.

I actually tried that several times, and it never worked even after restarting the system. The high pitched noisy voice continued with the noise cancellation disabled.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] avinash60:
Thanks for the suggestion, though. From what i have seen on forums online, this is a common problem with the latest google now update on Verizon s4. It became a real issue for me after hangouts merged with Google voice, since this makes incoming calls on gv unusable.

The most promising method for me is to flash the VVM kitkat zip (from my thread) IMMEDIATELY after flashing your ROM...while still in TWRP. I have NEVER had a problem with it working whenever I had done it that way. It may even be of advantage to select VVM within the hyperdrive aroma AND flash my zip. If you're still having issues after that, I'd recommend that you try a new rom...perhaps even a 4.3:rolleyes: Feel free to PM me if you are still stuck and would like to try something more.

So, I want to back up a little here, did you say you actually Odin'd back to stock and were STILL getting force-closes with your contacts/ dialer? Cuz, that sounds crazy! That shouldn't happen.

Has anyone encountered any issues where the camera gallery is not showing photos/videos that are on the sdcard?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wdcspurs:
I had this issue awhile back. Ire was parochially annoying because I did have all of my ringtones saved on my sdcard and every time it would unmount I would have to go back through and reassign ringtones to each contact. It took me awhile to realize what was resetting my contact ringtones. I ended up moving all of my ringtones and notifications to internal storage to fix this. It seems that slight bumps if the phone , dropping it or whatever causes the SD card to unmount. The last time this happened I physically removed and put the sdcard back in and it hasn't been as sensitive since.

Try wiping the data of the gallery app to force it to refresh.

I had this problem up to two weeks ago on my Samsung tablet. For a couple months the tablet kept giving notifications of the card mounting and dismounting. Finally two weeks ago I noticed the tablet showed there was no SD card in it but I still had the card inserted. I took the card out and put it in two different adapters and plugged it I to my pc and it fails to read from any device. SD card died. You might as well replace it because it's just a matter of time before the card is no good. Hope this helps.
