1.2 installed

Just wanted to report that I have dirty flashed both updates since 1.0 wiping only cache and Dalvik and all is working great for me. I absolutely love the performance and battery life on this rom. Many thanks for the excellent work Scott!:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EVOme:
That's right.... I had both. By default GO must check that box.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ritize:
Anyway this can be fixed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
Some stock widgets don't play nice with the different launcher layouts. You flash the 5x5?

Sent from my rooted S4 blessed with Cleanrom 1.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ritize:
Yes I did. Its no big deal. I'll go back to the 5x4. Just the 5x5 looks so much better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
It does look nice but lacks some widget support

Was a CR user with my GS3 and am excited to give this a try on the 4. On a road trip right now and can't get to a computer.

Using TWRP, the .02 version that hasn't locked up on me. I've now wiped and flashed 4 times in the past hour or so and every time I reboot the phone it seems to hang at the Galaxy S4 splash screen.

This was even after doing nothing other than updating SU. Not updating SU this time around and I'm not going to reboot until I get home but I have read this whole thread and don't recall seeing anyone with this issue.

Any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ritize:
Yea. On the ace rom for GS3 the widgets worked fine. Atleast the ones I used did. The weather was one of them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BusyPooping:
retry download?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spearoid:
Well the ROM is running perfectly. Still haven't rebooted though. Guess there's nothing else to try but downloading again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jredecop:
Are lockscreen widgets disabled? Not able to add any.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
They only work if you have no security enabled. It sucks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Thats odd. Try flashing with CWM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Marine6680:
The new update is running well for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Matt-Helm:
Try booting without your microsd card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Good to hear!

That shouldnt cause any issues. I mean it could but couldnt see how.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swgamez:
I had the same thing happened to me and my only way to fix the issue was to odin back to stock,

now my phone is working ok.

hope you get your phone back online, good luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JBeXX:
I had this issue also and same as posted above, my only way out ended up being to odin back to stock. While I was restoring I also formatted my 64gb sd back to exfat from fat32. I also stayed with TWRP 2.5.0.2 when re-rooting in case 0.3 was the culprit. I also have been flashing from internal storage rather than the ext sd that I had been just in case there was any connection there.

I haven't had an issue at all since switching these things up. Not sure if my issues were resolved from the restore to stock or my switch to int storage flashing or the older version of twrp or all of the above, but I'm a happy flasher again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Craigerz:
Scrosler...

I formatted my internal storage, wiped the phone, re-rooted & flashed 1.2 and everything's running smooth as butter. I don't know what happened yesterday but all is good.

Thanks man!

I'm an idiot, had the option turned off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EVOme:
I'm having a font size issue within some apps..Anyone seeing this? Two different apps here...So small I can hardly read. It's not my launcher..looks the same on stock and ADW.

These apps are "File copy" and "SQLite editor"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] th3drow:
Ya mine did this, it is an issue with some phones and twrp. You need to Odin back to stock and use the cwm in the android development section instead, that should fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Very good man!

I agree. I am going to reach out to TeamWIN and see if I can help them troubleshhot. I am spoined on TWRP. But the 2.5.x has been really unstable across all my devices.

Right now I am running the main line CWM touch. It runs well, and its very fast. I would honestly have to say that it installed the ROM 2x faster then TWRP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] e90driver:
Same issue here. Phone was perpetually stuck at the Galaxy S4 splash screen. Ended up Odin'ing back to stock, re-rooted and now use cwm. No issues since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
WEll, I got my new PC all set up! Wooot

If interested my specs are:

Intel Core i7-4770k running at 4.7GHZ

Asus z87 Pro Motherboard

Gskil 2133 RAM running at 2200

Samsung 840Pro 256 Gig SSD

Windows 8 with Start 8 start menu replacement

AMD 6970 2 Gig Video Card.

Im looking to update Video and am looking at the Nvida GTX 770 but its just a bit more than I can afford. Any thoughts on my current video upgrade path?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
That's an awesome build. It's a tough decision now that nvidia pulled their heads out of their asses and fixed power consumption and heat issues. I prefer amd myself for gpu. Is a bit cheaper and close enough to its competition to be worth saving that $60ish bucks. I bought 2 asus 7870s and I haven't even taken the 2nd one out of the box yet. 1 of them plays everything maxed out and I shouldn't need the second one until maybe bf4 and Metro last light come out. You may not use yours just for gaming or not at all so I'm not sure what to recommend

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] notstevek:
So I installed the deodexed 1.2 last night and my sd card kept dismounting, even ejecting it and putting it back in physically it wouldn't mount I had to restart it and after restart it would work for an hour then do the same thing. I fkashed a kernel and a tweak (5x6 touchwiz app launcher and homescreen mod). Just reflashed a clean 1.2 rom to see if it happens on a fresh install with no addons.

Card is a class 10 64gb sansdisk btw.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ritize:
Kies via Wi-Fi doesn't seem to be working. When selected the screen goes dim but doesn't open.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] e90driver:
I had the same problem with my 32gb SanDisk.. Ended up sending it back to them for a replacement. Apparently this is an ongoing problem with their cards. If my new one has issues I'll replace with a gskill class 10.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] notstevek:
I had a 32gb sandisk before on 1.0 it did it once or twice randomly but remounted fine, last night it would do it a lot. I just had it happen twice or so opening gallery then it was fine and hasn't happened again. I also realized that I installed 1.1 last night not 1.2, just installed that and it did it twice as well but righr after the install and hasn't done it since. I'm gonna use the phone all day before flashing any kernels or tweaks. If it does I'll go to a stock rom and see if it drop the mount to see if it's the card or rom. Thanks for your input.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
This has been talked about and it seems the s4 does not like the sanddisk sdcard.

The gSkill works perfect.

I picked up a larger sdcard and went with the gSkill and no issues, nor with the samsung sdcard I had before..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] notstevek:
Sorry I didn't see it. So far my phone with the correct 1.2 rom only had an issue on the first boot after installation, nothing since. But thanks for the info.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
No need to be sorry. Just staring since it was way back in the thread. If you do end up having the same issue the gSkill is the way to go. IMO. Newegg has the at a great price.

Happy rooting

Hippy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] notstevek:
Will do thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Ok, I will take a look at it later as time permits. Sure it can be a simple fix.

YEah, I have an S3, S4, and Note II and the same can be said about all of those device. They seem to be VERY picky about the SD Card. I have been running the same GSkil 32Gig for the past year or so and it has been flawless across all devices.

What device are you coming from?

What type of cpu cooler are you running? And as for video card, I'd just get a 690. Great for gaming and video editing, photoshop and basically anything else you throw at it. It's what I have and I love it.

Edit: Just saw the price part. I'd get a gtx 670. Theirs a lot of sales for them right now, and when overclocked they can keep up with the best of them. :thumbup:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ProfEngr:
Just a friendly warning....

I understand now why Scott doesn't support restoring anything. TiBu flashed a warning about the Android id not matching the last install. I told it to go ahead & restore it. Phone rebooted & is now stuck on the Sammy logo. Nandroid restore of stock rooted image I made didn't fix it so unless I can find something in another thread to repair simply I'll be using Odin. Worked just fine on the Note 2. Oh well.

Not asking for help on this here as it'd clutter the thread. Just throwing my mistake out. I'll edit this post if I resolve w/o Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] whiskerz:
My current rig is equipped with GTX 680s in SLI and is giving me excellent performance! However, depending on what your planning do to with your PC(build roms, work, light gaming I assume) you could even get a GTX 660. I wouldn't focus to much on GPU unless you're planning to do some serious gaming. I personally agree with getting a GTX 660 or 670 and getting decent performance for a fair price. However if gaming is your number one priority I would get a GTX 680 just to handle more intensive games like Crysis 3! Your rig looks pretty boss and I'm completely jealous of your CPU :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Might be something with the services or framework as the apk files are there in the system folder hmm.

S4 sporting CleanROM 1.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theRG:
I just tried flashing 1.2 after a factory reset/wipe. On boot I get stuck at the Samsung logo with the custom (unlocked padlock icon). I thought maybe it was taking a while since it was the initial boot on a new rom, but nothing happened. I had to pull the battery. Tried to boot again with the same result. I'm currently restoring a nandroid backup of stock.

I'm using TWRP 2.5.0.2, could this be the issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
There's been a lot of issues with twrp as of late I feel. I used 2.5.0.3 when I flashed mine and it went through perfectly.

Perhaps try upgrading your version of twrp from goo manager and then try flashing again :thumbup:

S4 sporting CleanROM 1.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theRG:
Thanks, I avoided upgrading due to people saying there were lag issues with 2.5.0.3. I'm used to CWM so maybe I should move to that. Is there a way to move from TWRP to CWM without going back to fully stock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] platinumyahoo:
Hey Scott I love your ROMs! they are so CLEAN! The group play is missing which was probably intended to slim down the ROM as much as possible but I use it with my friends. I been looking for the download and apk on google and xda and cant find it anywhere. Is there any way I can install it on my phone even if i have to copy it as a system app. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Just install cwm and it will remove / replace tWrP

So True!

Right now I am running a Corsair H60. That worked Awesome on my 3770k but cant keep this cool like I want. I got two corsair fans spinning in push pull config out of the back of a Corsair R200 case.

This 4770k was not worth the investment. Its a "titch" faster than my 3770k and doesnt O/C as well :crying: I kinda feel shafted but would loose too much on restock fees.

As far as video, no I mostly build ROMS on this machine. I need it as fast as possible. But occasionaly I like to play Call of Duty series games (not online, just the story line) and Honestly, I have a 560Ti OC in another box and the 6970 and I cant tell the diff between the two.

With both I get over 100FPS. So as gaming is only stress relieving activity and price is the main concern, I currently looking at just keeping what I have.

I need to sell my two month old 3770k and Asus board to try to recovery some of the money I spent on this new rig. Grrrrrr....

You can download a stock rooted ROM and get the files you need. Thanks!

TWRP = Lots of lock up and bootloops.

Odin and flash CWM and your issues will be gone.

TWRP = bad, Use CWM

Did you check post #3 where I put it and the rest of the removed files? :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theRG:
Scott, you should update the OP. :good:

I just used Rom manger from the play store and paid 2.00 for the official touch version. There are some really good ports that work just as well and can be found in original dev section
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swgamez:
Anybody with phone issues should odin back to stock and use CWM.

Once you get stuck on the samsung s4 boot screen, even if you flash CWM you will still have problems.

I tried many different things (re flash Rom, TWRP 2.5.0.2, kernel and CWM and nothing worked)

Odin back to stock

root and install CWM

and you will be problems free
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Buddyfunlove:
Have had no issues with TWRP...but being one that takes prudent free advice, I have flashed CWM. Thanks for the info guys. :)

Does anyone else get lag when opening the stock gallery?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
What is Kies?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Don_Don:
What were you restoring? Just user apps or more than that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Its a Sync Program that you can use to transfer stuff too and fro. It also does other things like checks for software updates, etc.. It can also transcode larger video files to fit on the device and a host of other crap.

Read more here: http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Ok...

So....

I created a Zip file with just the missing Samsung apps that I stripped from the ROM. You can flash it and it will restore ALL Samsung apps that were removed.

It will not put back any of the Amazon, Verizon or other 3rd party apps.

See post #3

Thank this post so I know who will bloat up there phone ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spearoid:
So the Odin restore / CWM switch was the only solution that allowed me to install a ROM and actually reboot my phone. :)

Sorry if this is a dumb question but it has been many years since I've owned a Samsung, but do you need an unlocked bootloader to flash ROMs on Samsung phones?

Sent from Verizon Galaxy S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ProfEngr:
There is no "unlock" yet. But once you get root, install twrp via goo manager and you're good. Kernels need "loki" support, but I don't think ROMs do. YMMV.

AND LOVE that you pulled that DAMN location icon off the notification bar. THANK YOU lol

Also, I've heard about heat issues but i can play vids on mine for an hour to an hour and a half and it barely gets warm. If you have seen the heat issues maybe some are just a bad unit and maybe try swapping it out before the 2 weeks is up?

I think that may be part of the issue. It is entirely possible I stripped down something that may have been needed for the netwrok extender to work propery with messaging. Should be fixable...

But before I do that... Do you anticipate being in an area that has native reception so we test my theory?

Either way I will still do a review of the cut files to see if I deleted something mistakenly. It happens :(
