Again, not quite correct. It has touchwiz frameworks but no Samsung skin over it or any of their proprietary features added. It is not an aosp themed touchwiz. Look at the size. The Google edition is ±400mb roughly and stock touch wiz is almost 3gb, that's more the 6 times bigger. Even accounting for manufacturer and carrier bloatware, that's a lot. The smallest tw rom I have seen for the gs4 is 800mb and it is stripped bare.

thanks, i moved the "s memo" apk file to the system/app folder and restarted the phone. the icon is in the app drawr and when i open it, it opens then crash closes. was there something else i need to move to get s memo working besides the one apk file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mssam:
Yeah, probably change the permissions to rw--r--r
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
I believe it's something to the affect of Snoteprivider

And the updater APK, I forgot the name but it's obvious

I can't find it atm but I made this up for someone early on

Noob question, but can someone explain to me how exactly I would go about removing the older version and replacing it with the newer version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
Older version of the rom? If that's what your referring to just download the new version and follow the installation instructions in the first post of this thread.

You can PM me if you need additional help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
Well, it is quite simple!

1. If you don't need an old ROM - you should upload it where you downloaded it before, so some others could use it. But please, clean it from your personal data and private photos.

2. After that you will have enough space to install a new one. So, download it from OP, if there still some copies left.

3. Check if this ROM is used or not. (well, if it was used carefully - you won't notice!)

4. Flash ROM to you phone. You can not use regular flash-light, only special for smartphones.

5. Profit!

:victory:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:

Dudde, its real easy. VERY easy. If cant get it done then PM me on my website. I will help for free.

Are you on MDK baseband?

Good!

Hmmm

I will look at that...

Its got to be that Mod, thats the only thing I can think of.

Nope.

Not to be a **** but this is not a ROM comparison thread. I have asked over and over in many of my threads not to do this.

Please talke your questions about comparisons to another thread. IE, General or Q/A.

No its not actually. But I am not going to debate this in my thread.

THis is correct. it even uses the same CSC format. But once again. This is not a discusion forum for ROM comparisons...

Yeah, I normally do that on the RM itself but I am having issues decompiling secsettingsprovider.apk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Guys one last time...

Please do not **** on my thread. I consider myself very easy going and allow some off topic discussion such as mods and kernels on the ROM.

One thing I do not allow is the discussion of other ROMS in my thread or any sort of comparison therefore of.

I want to make sure that everyone sees this so I am temporarily locking the thread. Not as a sanction but to ensure no one misses my post.

Thank you,

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
I'm off my SoapBox!

Thread is open...

Discuss CleanROM, Mods, Kernels and Themes as you will.

Please do not discuss other ROMS in the thread as a matter of flat comparison. You can do that in General.

Please do not talk negative about any other developer on XDA. I wouldn't want it happening to me and I am sure you would not want it happening to you.

Thank you guys!

Pull the battery and let it boot again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theresin:
In the future, you should be reading Faux's post to find out which one to flash - keep this thread dedicated to CleanRom as it's intended. (it'll help keep the DEVs sane.)

With that being said, the MDX versions are the only ones that you should be flashing. When it comes to Faux, I have found 004 to be more responsive than 006r2... but I usually only use KT's latest kernels on my devices. Honestly, though - the stock kernel is just fine for normal use. Keep yourself backed up and try them all..make sure you're fixing permissions before rebooting.

There's quite a bit of chatter on the pros/cons of each kernel over in the QA and Original Development sections, I'd recommend reading the full threads.

Now if only we could bug Scott into bringing CleanKernel to the jfltevzw! ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheMavic:
Scott, I figured out what Google Services was. Apparently I never held down the menu button at the home screen and took the steps to disable Google Now. That feature is a battery killer. Once I disabled it and charged my phone, it disappeared from the battery stats.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theresin:
Are you sure? I thought it was just the stock kernel. Scott mentioned he was still "up in the air" about building a new, cleankernel. I could be wrong, but couldn't find anything regarding its inclusion in the most recent build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
I just had a random reboot while charging and browsing tapatalk :( 1.6deodex stock kernel. It did happen while browsing through another rom thread now that I think about it..... Maybe CleanROM didn't like that :rolleyes:

Is there any way to get an error log?

I just removed the toggle for now. Thats all. You can put it back by editing the CSC.

I was having issues with F/C's on the screen mirror toggle that I coudl not figure out so I rolled back the old settings and CSC's until I had more time to mess around with it.

Im pretty sure its always been there sans the toggle. I am talking about the toggle on the status bar. That is what I removed.

Now I want to know :p

I have actually thought about it... Still up in the air right now. Im not a great kernel dev and had a lot of handle holding from TeamBlackout who does the beast mode kernels, etc.

No no, he is talking about CleanKERNEL. MY custom kernel. In this ROM is just the Stock Kernel.

Yep, sounds about right!

I can tell you the issue already... Dont need any logs...

Its Tapatalk. This has been an ongoing issue for years depending on the build they do. I remember when the XDA app first came out (which is just a branded TapaTalk) it had this issue.

I know this is not the ROM but the app. I bet if you googled it you would see more examples.

Good to hear guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Just wanted to throw a thanks out to the guys who donated today!

It was MUCH appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
I didn't know it was a tapatalk issue. Been using it for a couple years and never had a reboot that I can remember. I just hate how laggy it is abs really hate the new beta as far as design. I am glad to know it's not rom related. Thanks for the reply

Here are some examples:

Those are just the first two that came up when I googled but if search hard you will find its been an issue for years. I hate the program. The only reason I have it on my website is because users asked me to put it on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Ok.. I am sitting here thinking about next build...

Samsung apps and flashlight toggle aside...

What is the one app or feature you would like to see added to the ROM.

You can only pick ONE!

How about blocking the Samsung loggers like synergy rom advertises?

That's the only reason I keep checking their thread waiting for the right release to try. If CleanRom blocked those loggers and any other unnecessary privacy intrusions I'd never want for any other rom. Here I'd stay permanently.

Can you post a link to your CleanKernal thread? I want to read more and then probably try.

I think I did something wrong. When get it flashed, it stops after the Verizon animation. The blue LED is on steady, not blinking. None of the buttons are responsive.

I DL the file to my phone. Booted into recovery. Twerp starts up. I pick the file and have TWRP install it. All the boxes for erasing the caches are checked.

I am new at this so I must be screwing up something.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 0reo:
Scott,

I seem to have missed your point. I'm very aware of the issues you linked to but they are imo irrelevant to the issue of the software on our smartphones. These devices can be made to be secure (as secure as any broadcast digital communication can be) but that starts with not having the os undermining the whole process.

Please consider making the samsung and any other similar loggers report a false generic response so as to appear funtional to samNSAsung.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wildo6882:
Anyone else having an issue with data on 1.5? Every now and then my data vanishes but still shows 4G. Have to toggle airplane mode to get it back on. Trying to find out if it's the phone or the ROM.

Also, is blocking mode broken on 1.6? It works fine on 1.5 so I don't want to update if it's broken.

And another, is there an OTA method for updating or do I have to reflash and install all my apps all over again?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mssam:
Hey Scott, don't forget to update that supersu... ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Ok, let me clarify my point as I think our interpretation of logging and security differs...

If you will...

Disabling logging is not helping you keep your phone secure nor your information private.

This is all irregardless of the OS logging anything. This has to do with Google, Verizon, and the NSA. You disable the on-board diagnostic logging but in essence you are STILL being logged.

Every website you visit, every phone call you make, every text message you sent... Its logged. A lot of people don't really understand that even if you have a flip phone from 2005, its just as "logged" as the S4 your holding right now.

I just dont want people thinking that the logging that is disabled on other ROMS will keep you secure from this logging that is done on the server side.

Sure you can disable the Samsung logging, but this does nothing for the private info that is sent freely to the government and people like Micheal Snowden.

So do you see what I am saying? I just dont want anyone getting a false sense of security.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
You are the first to report this.

Blocking mode is removed in 1.6 so therefore it works as I intended. If blocking mode is important to you then stay on 1.5 until I update to 1.7...

Best method is to wipe 100% clean and reinstall every app from scratch then enter all account info.

Ahhhh!

Indeed!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] primarilydna:
Enabling the 21 toggles like att version of s4 would be dope.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
21 toggles? Hmmm, I enabled them all last time but I thought it was 20 toggles?

Let me flash my ATT ROM and look.

Or are you talking about a mod?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wildo6882:
Yeah I'm not sure if it's my phone or not. It seems like sometimes it takes awhile to lock onto data, too. And yeah, I like blocking mode at night, so I'll probably hold off until 1.7.

Thanks for the response!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
I do know this about VZW data... Right now, in Fargo... Its SUPER bad. All 7 of my LTE enabled phones can barely get dial up speed in most places.

And of those some are stock and some are Clean. So... I think VZW is having serious issues.

I took it to the VZW store across the street and the demo devices could not even open the play store without timing out. Thats how bad our signal is now. I am seriously considering goign back to AT&T and missing calls. I need data a lot more then I need to call someone or have them call me. Arggghhh....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] primarilydna:
Woops sorry about that yeah there are 19 toggles in the att version. An additional hotspot toggle and a flashlight would be complete as I know you are going to add blocking mode in the next version. Just an opinion. :D

CleanROM 1.6.5 Patch is up!

​

Version 1.6.5 - 7/5/2013

Fixed: Some performance related issues.

Note: This is a single patch to be flashed over an 1.6. You dont have to wipe anything, you dont have to clear anything. Just flash the patch and carry on. You must be on 1.6 for this patch to be effective.

This is just a performance enhancing patch by correcting some minor issues with the build prop.

Info on Patch

Highly encourage you to apply this patch to 1.6 ASAP!

Do not apply this patch to any prior version.

You do not need to wipe anything.

If you are fresh installing install ROM then patch.

Patch is for Odex or De-Odex.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Scott, it looks like just a new build.prop and init.d script, right? Don't want to mess around with wallet, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
I opted to go with deodex with version 1.6 since I planed to update to the latest odex version when it was released. I wanted to play with some of the deodex themes blackout etc.

After a full charge.

8 hours on, only 50 percent battery left, with only 52 minutes of "screen time".

Very weird. Altho the rom has no issues with proformance boots fast tinny tinny lag.

I blaming the files the themeing has changed.

Oh fid you remove the screen on and off when plugging the phone in to charge? Noticed that right off.

Thanks fir the time and effort Scott.

As far as what would on like to see. Plus 1 fir me on the blocking mode.

A note on Tapatalk I never had a the phone freeze or crash. But security errors all the time with it. No permission errors etc.

Reload a few times and I get it to work. Figured they will get it right on day. Lol

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 0reo:
Understood and agree completely.

However, there are ways of making the stuff NSA collects a lot harder to decrypt IF the rom/os isn't handing them every key stroke through some backdoor. I'd like to know that there's nothing in CleanRom collecting data or metadata and sending it to any 3rd parties without my expressed consent.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
The ROM / OS has nothing to do with this.

They are in at the server level. They dont need to decrypt anything. The info is being handed to them freely from the carrier every time you do anything.

There is no back door.

They are entering straight through the wide open front door that Verizon handed them the keys too.

But yes, I understand your concern. I can try to disable the drop location but even then, after talking to Eschelon, some time ago, he said the logging is embedded in the framework of the ROM so just disabling the drop location may not be enough

I just dont want to advertise something in the terms of security when I know its not securing your phone from those that already have access to it.

Just think about what I am saying. There is no back door. There is a front door and its wide open.
