I have tried flashing a few kernels but nothing worked. Its a really frustrating experience for everybody.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
This thread got pretty intense for a bit! Everyone's phone is different. It is unfortunate that some are having gps issues with this, or any, rom. Just report it and wait for the next version or switch to another rom. We're a community here and the devs are providing an excellent service that we are not paying for. When we donate, we're donating to appreciate the dev's many hours spent on the rom. They are not obligated to continue working on these projects, and attitudes/comments like some here WILL drive them to other phones/projects. Use any HTC phone, other than maybe the One, and you'll come to appreciate ANY developer that supports the phone.

Thank you Scott, and all S4 devs!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SmokeyMon:
The ROM is only a possible cause. you all must consider the fact there could be variation in the hardware as well as known variations in the download and installation methodology. The ROM may well be the culprit but it does not have to be...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gcarterny:
Americancon just wondered if you have tried another rom like clean and are able to get a lock. I mean since trying this one not previously.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BossJ:
I wish people would understand that, when you are the only one having the issue, and the dev can not replicate it, there is nothing the dev can do about it and once again, this is all done for free. always remember no one is entitled to anything on here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] asdecker:
Has anyone who has gps issues went to the GREEN GOOGLE settings app and looked in location to see if its on? Mines always set to off and wont get a lock till I check that. Sorry, ive just read 20nl pages of gps problems and nobody mentiined that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AmericanCon:
Yes I have tried synergy and jellybeans which work fine.

Im not the only one having this issue. Read thru the posts. About 7-10 other people reported having this issue.

One person flashed the rom just to see if gps would lock and it didn't.

And I can't talk "crap" but the dev can?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Daeo:
well i am still trying to solve the problem 5 hours later, have flashed the rom clean multiple times after coming from a factory reset which i did have a GPS lock. now trying to flash the kernels over, all GPS settings are set and yes the Google Settings box is checked (green google icon)

Flashed the KT kernel over the top and it didnt solve anything

Permission fix and GPS fix inside hyperdrive rom files no luck

Sweet! Live wallpapers are a go again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Proweedsmoker:
My findings: downloaded 3 different mirror copys, wiped 10x everything per install, booted with stock kernel, waited 15m after each flash, NO GPS lock.

Flashed Faux kernel on each install after trying stock, NO GPS lock.

Restored backup completely modded stock ROM, GPS locked instantly on 27 satellites.

Bottom line is: There is a problem in the ROM, it's not user error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zeroxg4:
Clearly there are a NUMBER of people who are having the issue. Its not even CLOSE to just one person. I don't believe that anyone is acting entitled to anything but rather unhappy at the fact that they love this ROM and want it to be as functional for them as everyone else. Just because the dev (one person) cannot replicate a problem certainly does not mean that the problem does not exist. Not all phones are created equal. I remember on the Note 2 forums there was a ROM called MeanBean ICE and about 5% of users were unable to get a GPS lock. MikeyXDA (the dev for that ROM) diligently tracked it down to a difference among certain phones but he eventually got it figured out with logs.

Its pretty clear here that ALL of the necessary steps have been taken by people to redownload and check MD5s but GPS simply does not work for some people on this update. Some have reported that changing kernels helped while others were just SOL unless they switched ROMs. I think it prudent to at least acknowledge that there is an obvious change that has affected quite a few and it is NOT attributed to user error. Let's also not forget that these same people are simply reporting a problem and are likely just as grateful as everyone else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Daeo:
So after trying to solve the problem i have flashed the rom clean multiple times after coming from a factory reset which i did have a GPS lock. now trying to flash the kernels over, all GPS settings are set and yes the Google Settings box is checked (green google icon)

Flashed the KT kernel over the top and it didnt solve anything

Permission fix and GPS fix inside hyperdrive rom files no luck

Wiped x10 and flashed clean rom no lock

Flashed Faux kernel and no lock

said **** it and restored my rls4 from TWRP and toggled gps on and off boom instant lock

No idea what the issue could be but i give up, i have done almost everything i could think of. Thanks for everyones great ideas and i will keep a close eye on the thread, hopefully someone smarter than i solves it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jpmcnown:
Maybe we SHOULD dirty flash? Perhaps whatever isn't working for us in RLS5 won't be overwritten. Tried everythig else. New instructions:

1> Don't wipe a damn thing

2> Flash the rom

3> hahahaha *****es it worked(of course this step may not work)

EDIT: FML, nope, didn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang6790:
I actually tried that, after flashing clean six times (did wipe cache) but still no luck. I gave up and restored my rls4 nandroid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thegoofyweirdo:
Just curious about this still, any word regarding whether this rom is able to do this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aldread:
Going back through the thread, I have counted 28 different users who have had the GPS problem and not said it was cured. I'm sure others have it and are just watching for a fix. I love this ROM and will continue to use it, if I absolutely need GPS I will go back to RLS4. I'm just saying these aren't isolated incidents, I've been rooting and flashing since I had my G1, and I think there's definitely smoke here!

Hey Scott! Had to come back to the ole thread my friend!! Read through the thread and have to say bro you killed it with HD. I hear some dinosaurs!! The sh*t looks killer!!!

Makes me wish I still had my S4. Sold mine with MDK build for some big bucks! Just rockin' the S6 Edge now.

P.S. Go Blackhawks baby!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xperia Player:
Weird question, is anyone else's "power saving" notification toggle not working properly? Every other toggle displays advanced settings when I long press it, but not power saving for some reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beej1970:
Had anyone used flash fire to load this yet?

SCH-I545 OC1 rooted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
I doubt Flashfire will work with the AROMA installer. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. That said, if you took the OTA to OC1 and THEN rooted, then you can't run this ROM because of the OC1 base and that fact that you can't downgrade.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] srut2000:
No it works I did I am typing on the phone with this rom and it doesn't use aroma installer

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
ah OK. I haven't done the AROMA with flashfire myself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 90c4:
Thought I just posted this but my browser froze, so maybe it didn't take. I'm having an issue with the stock messaging app. When I start typing in the "To" field, once I type the second letter the phone hangs for a few seconds then gets all laggy. Issue doesn't happen in the body of the text, just the To field, and changing the keyboard doesn't help. I reflashed (dirty) but problem remains. I assume it's getting hung up somehow in the matching of the typed name to the contacts database. Any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 90c4:
Help! I used an app to move apps to my SD card but it looks like I moved them to an emulated SD and now my device is full and I can't even access my contacts or send receive texts. Any idea of how to fix this so I can use the actual SD? Somehow when I move apps my internal space gets less. Not sure why
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
You can try to connect the phone to the computer and retrieve contacts and your texts... I think you'd have to wipe the phone though...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
Has the PIN reboot problem been fixed yet or what? I'm still getting it in a couple of ROMs.

New again to the s4

Just came back to my s4 mdk. Tried out the g3. So I am pretty new to this device again. I was just curious about this rom development. Has there been any word on lollipop. I searched through a few pages and didn't really see much about it. Not asking for an eta, just wanted to see if sbreen still works on this device. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] raddison:
I've seen posts in another ROM's thread giving instructions for editing boot.prop to fix it. Haven't tried myself, yet. Sorry I don't remember for sure what ROMs... Reggie Cheeks EGR maybe, or jrkruse stock for mdk ... search for PIN lock fix

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilestoad:
Is there a stagefright patch for hyperdrive, or some other patch I should be using? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 318sugarhill:
No.... Not on this phone or any phone. Only the finder of said exploit and Google truly know how to use it and patch it. Don't panic over everything you see on TV

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NavySTi:
So, I've got the dreaded "stuck power button" on my S4, so I'd like to figure out how to keep Rls21, yet be able to turn the phone on with the home button. I can't find a toggle anywhere that lets me do that....what am I missing? Has the toggle to make the home button turn the phone on been removed? If so, is there an easy mod I can put in to make the home button turn on the phone, or will I have to roll back to a previous version of HD?

Does anyone have a rooted flashable stock zip of 4.4.3?

Or the files to flash with Odin to go back to stock with root?

Please? Thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hdhntr23:

Thanks a ton!

A stupid question here...

Is the xposed framework an option we can pick in Aroma? Or, is it installed another way? I had it installed before but I had to do a wipe and now I can't seem to find it.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Charlie115:
I haven't been on hyperdrive in awhile but I believe on rls21

You have to go into hyperdrive tools or whatever it's called to flash (load) after your all up and running,, it might be called hypertweaks??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hdhntr23:
After looking forever, thank you I FINALLY found it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Charlie115:
Good deal I hope I was remotely close to the name of the app you were looking for lol!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] patt2k:
sorry to bother you long time ago I gave a friend s4 running RLS20 about a year,now I am in Europe and wanted to help him update to RLS21 can I simply flash ZIP and should expect no issues? newest safestrap 375 03v

there is 6 hour time zone difference so I dont expect a quick answer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Charlie115:
If I remember correctly rls21 is a two stage flash it has a separate UI zip that you flash after the ROM flash so if it was me no I wouldn't do a dirty flash, just my opinion
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] patt2k:
Thanks for your answer once again but in your opinion it should be safe to flash as long as I flashed both in TWRP SafeStrap?

could I use stock rom slot or I have to create a new one?

a clean flash would be alright that isn't a problem but i just don't want to be sitting all day trying to fix stuff :)

so to summarize it, if I flash both zips it should be working fine? last time I flashed this phone was more then a year ago and you know if you don't keep up with things you forget things.. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrmondaynight:
flashed this and now I can't get into safestrap to install the UI and superSU zip

It also freezes at the samsung galaxy welcome screen & I get a keyguard force close message

Now i'm stuck with a phone I cannot use -_-
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
You have to flash all at once, as stated in the OP. You will have to odin back..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrmondaynight:
I couldn't. My only option was to reboot after I installed the hyperdrive zip.

I have to odin back to what exactly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
No, you have to click the middle button on the bottom with the 3 buttons and click cancel Aroma Installer.

You have to go back to factory stock. Were you on MDK or nc5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrmondaynight:
nk1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
This is an easy simple process to Odin the nc5, use towelroot, install safestrap, then flash hd again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrmondaynight:
I Odin'd back to stock flashing the I545VRUFNK1_I545VZWFNK1_I545VRUFNK1_HOME.tar tar, but when phone boots up, I get a forced closed message "com.android.phone"

If i hit ok, it keeps popping up & I can't do anything

Is there another tar I am suppose to use?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Only reason I suggested nc5 Odin tar is bc towelroot doesn't work for the nk1 kernel.

I would Odin nk1 again unless you have nc5 downloaded already.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrmondaynight:
Incase that doesn't work again

Is this the NC5 I should grab?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Yes that's the one I have.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrmondaynight:
Ok, that finally worked. Thanks a ton!

So to be clear, now I towel root, safestrap, then install the rom again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
yes.

make sure to flash rom zip first then ui.zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hdhntr23:
The trick or the confusing part about this is to NOT reboot UNTIL youve flashed HyperDriveUI. You have to say "no" to reboot after you first flash HD ROM then back into TWRP, THEN flash HDUI.

Its a little confusing and I ran into this same problem myself.

Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrmondaynight:
TWRP? Don't you mean Safestrap?

Also, once I wipe before flashing the ZIP, I lose safestrap.

Edit:

Okay, so i finally got hyperdrive up and running, but no wifi. I downloaded the modules, but wanted to ask if I had to install safestrap recovery again to flash it or could I flash it via stock recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hdhntr23:
You may have lost root. Install root checker to see. (happened to me)

Once you gain root again then you can install SStrap/SuperSU and TWRP.

Enjoy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrmondaynight:
Didn't lose root

I guess now install busybox, safestrap, boot into recovery, and flash the modules?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hdhntr23:
Yep and that should give you root access as well.

I have noticed however and this is for the general thread... If I choose "recovery" after I select reboot it reboots into Samsung stock recovery vs. SStrap/TWRP.

Is there a setting I am missing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] boni7010:
I flash this rom on May 2015 on my Samsung Galaxy S4 tmobile... everything works good, but the last week I have a Lot of problems, one of them its my battery drains in one day ... the other my phone its very hot so I need to shutdown and turn on again after some minutes... the other when I try to capture an image with the camera the phone its frozen... and restart himself...

I flash again the entire rom with clean install... but its the same... so my question its,, any update on this rom came soon?

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
You are prompted to boot into safestrap or continue booting the rom everytime you power on or regular reboot.

No need to reboot to recovery.

If you really wish to reboot straight into safestrap then use the safestrap app and select reboot to recovery button in the app.

I should have clarified further.

When I ran HD roms I flashed rom, ui.zip, supersu2.46.zip, then wifi modules in that order.

Not saying that is the order you have to do it but its what has worked for me over the years with no problems.

Supersu was to ensure no loss of root. but if you do towelroot will work no problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] maddog00:
Use Wanam Xposed to get that functionality. Should be a "Home button to turn screen on" option in there.

Just be careful not to tool around too much with Wanam outside of that. It could not work well with Hyperdrive Tweaks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hdhntr23:
Did 4.4.2 remove 4 way volume options?

Is there anyway to get it back?

Also,

I'm having trouble with my phone app, when I go to make a call it thinks about it for awhile then closes saying the contacts app had to close.

The only way I can make calls is from my contact list or from my voicemail app.

If more information is needed to diagnose this issue please let me know what else I can post.

Cleaning up!

Recently got a new phone (LG G4) and want to give my GS4 to my wife as a new phone.

What is the best method to clean up mine so I can give to her in a fresh state but still rooted with the ROM benefits?, do a factory reset in safestrap?

Also, the phone will be going to TMOBILE, so I should be flashing a tmobile ROM or it doesn't really matter since the hardware hasn't changed, just the CDMA -> Global setting I am using.

Any help appreciated, trying to keep the wife happy....

Thanks.

Just reflash with the verizon options with a factory reset, and then do the APN thing in settings, and done!

Reflash in reboot recovery or reflash with factory reset within the ROM running ?

lollipop rom coming?

Checking in to see if a lollipop rom is coming anytime soon. If not are there any touchwiz ROMs you guys can recommend? I've tried the cm12.1 variants and was underwhelmed... If it were possible to port some of the S6 apps on top of cm12.1, such as email and a few others that would be a better starting point.

Hey everyone, wanted to give a quick update and thank everyone for their support and feedback on Hyperdrive for the Verizon Galaxy S4. Unfortunately I don't think I am going to have the time or resources to update this device to Lollipop. I'd like to thank everyone who has used the rom and supported me on this device for the past two plus years. I'll still be developing for the T-mobile Note Edge and GS6 as of now. Hopefully I'll see you all in a Hyperdrive thread in the future. Also if you're looking for an MDK unlocked S4 still, you can pick up my dev device that I used here!

there is some corollary here to the premise that "nothing last forever." Hell RLS21 is great. I'm not sure that the delta to 5 or 5.1 would be that big of a difference.
