Prolly a 2.0 with Aroma but same base as is now. But I need to do an AT&T Update before Verizon so thats where I will spend time tonight...

I also got a Nexus 7 in the mail so that will more than likely trump everything...

New toys:good: (Actually not new, had one when they first came out then upgraded to the 10 then sold that and went back to the 7).

1.6 had some Google Core Management Service update (I think that is what GMS Core stands for). So I beleive it. this was actually discussed some time back.

The only thing I can tell you is shut off location service you are not using for the time being.

I can, however tell you, that I am not happy with it either so you can rest assured that a fix is forth coming... The funny thing... I core update on My Note II and S3 but not my S4. WTF?!?!?!?

If I have to I might just have to use those files.

Funny you mention that...

ROM downloads: 714

Patch downloads: 1222

WTF?!?! lol

Not quite but call blocker pro is.

Basically it just allows you to shut off incoming calls and texts at certain time periods. You set up profiles. Tons of apps do this...

But its more of a challange to get it working even though verizon disabled it.

No point in taking the easy way out when its just as simple as decompiling tyhe settings.apk and scanning through thousands and thousands of lines of code, hoping you find what your looking then compiling it all back up and testing :good:

Its more so the chase than the trophy for me. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Yep! Exactly!

You are going to dev for the n7?! :eek:

What the hell is this Aroma everyone wants?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mssam:
That's what I'm wondering. Didn't scott let that go? I had a rom of his on my n7 (and he could have taken that aroma a lot further lol), but he vanished and I saw someone else inherit it...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
YouTube aroma installer. It's a installer built by developer amarullz which let you choose which options you can flash to a Rom. Rom developers use it to let us choose the Rom our way as end users.

In a nutshell it's awesome
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mssam:
Yeah, it basically lets you choose what you want to install in the setup/flash process. Btw, whatever happen with pimp my rom? Anybody know off hand?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ProfEngr:
The neatest thing since sliced bread. And like sliced bread, it allows you to pick what parts of the package you do or don't want installed with the ROM.

Can you smell what The Scott is cooking? :silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 808phoneaddict:
You're awesome... I will be donating soon!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mssam:
Exactly! There isn't any of this flash later nonsense. You chose while setting up/flash! Then you're done. I'm all for aroma!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
I alway have. Even made it on ibTimes: Install CleanROM Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean on Nexus 7 [GUIDE]

I have some stuff on Cnet too: Top 5 custom ROMs for the HTC One X (Damn CM guys beat me but I took second place per Cnet for Custom so thats cool!)

Anyways, I sold my 10 so I coudl get another 7. It just fits me better.

Its actually still on my website here: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=43

AS you can see from the number of downloads it was a fairly popular ROM.

I will be updating in the not so distance future with the new base and moving that from the archives to the main builds of the site :good:

Good ****!

Does this rom allow you to hide the toggles from notification menu?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
That's awesome. Now that I think about it, I remember seeing cleanrom inheritance I think. Glad you'll be coming back. Probably won't sell mine then.

Back to this device. .. I occasionally get sms not sent error. Not just this build but most of them. Is this something that is common every once in awhile? I can't remember if it did it when I was unrooted the first week I had it. Never really happened on any of my htc devices. Maybe samsungs crappy radios are to blame? Toggling airplane usually fixes it

Sent from my rooted S4 blessed with CleanROM 1.6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Poor signal. Yes, could be radio related but I really honestly fear something is wrong with the VZW Network. For the past 4 weeks, while at work, I cant break 1 meg down on LTE. I used to hit about 10.

On the highway, its great.

At home its decent...

but at work its totally unusable. I cant even open the google play store, it times out.

But Thats just my experience.

And its not the ROM or the phone for me... EVERYONE is having this issue in my area. Its like what Sprint did. One day we had usable 3G then it dropped to 1x and never recovered.

If this is not cleared up soon, I am going to AT&T. I cant have such slow speeds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dennisg34:
Well, here we go! 1.6 and 1.6.5 time baby!! i've been holding it off cause i'm lazy about resetting up my phone haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
Damn. That sucks. I think my issue is the phones radios. I don't live in a huge city like La or anything but 4g has always been solid for me, even out in the boonies. I get subpar 4g speeds on the s4 compared to my rezound. My gf's house is the best for 4g and I could pull down 45+mbps down and almost 20 up on my rezound consistently. I only manage maybe 15 down and 7 up on my s4. Htc has had its low points the past couple years but they always put a damn good radio in their phones. I never used to drop 4g on the rez either. I do on the s4 once or twice every couple days. Good to know it's probably not rom related though

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
Cool! I will install it than on my son's HTC One X!

Can you try change number format? Or try Go SMS Pro and tell if errors still appear. I switched to Go SMS and have no problems. My problem was in number format, and I didn't manage to find where I can cancel any formatting for SMS. Operator is accepting any format in SMS, but stock app doesn't send in international format, only in local. While Go SMS does in any.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Like I said though, I think its a verizon issue and not really a phone / radio issue. I dont know that much about the server side of things... But I can tell you that all of a sudden eveyr LTE enabled phone in my are got so slow they are unusable.

That would co-incide with the sms issue you have.

Next time it happens, just for giggles, go to settings and about and then status and tell me what you "dbm's" are. As you may or may not know that is your signal strength. It may help shed light on the issue.

weird, I just had my sd card randomly unmount and remount..... so my media thing has a wake time of like 16 minutes.

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

and now when I goto storage, i can't scroll down to sd card.. it just stops. ugh. if they didn't fix the issue in the s4 that the s3 had of it screwing up sd cards I'm going to be pissed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Thanks!

Great!

Here is my thought on that... I have used the same SD card for the past year. It's a GSkill Class 10 32 Gig. I used in Note II, S3 and now S4. I never had a problem with it.

What kinda of memory card do you have?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jayochs:
i have a 64 gig SanDisk.... :( idk why but it just did it again ugh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 0reo:
I asked about the sd card issue in another thread and the answer I got was that the problem had to do with the exfat file system not being properly supported by android and that the problem was resolved with a software update and so shouldn't be a problem in the S4. Ymmv.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jayochs:
lol its still a problem ugh. I forget what I formatted it too on my gs3 though. idk if it's exfat. what's the other
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rwc95:
I went through 2 SanDisk cards in my s3 in like 2 months. Got a gskill class 10 never had an issue since. You can get the gskills on Newegg pretty cheap
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Easton999GS:
OMG please please tell me your bringing this to AT&T as well. Im in love with your roms, I used them on My ReZound in the ICS leak days, My Evo 3D and my Nexus 7. I made the switch to AT&T recently and now because of you i wish i had Verizon again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jayochs:
time to complain lol i have media taking up over an hour of cpu time... i think I'll get another card. gonna switch back to my lower class 32 gig tonight I guess. meh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Himmad:
I am trying to install My files apk and it keeps failing. Anyone else having that issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justreboot:
I had issues with the SanDisk as well. I put the 64GB in my Nook HD+ and got a 64GB Sammy for the g4. The only isse is that my Mac wont see the SD card even if I take it out and use a reader :(

backing up my stock / rooted / debloated now. Then booting back up / will back up the sd to my win 7 machine / then wipe and go lean baby :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Yep, I really think its a lower quality of card we are seeing now a days.

Actually... Yep! I hope to have an ATT version by the end of this weekend.

Right now you can use it on AT&T if you flash an AT&T kernel and disable the Verizon bloat. Thats an unoficial method which is not supported but quite a few peolple tell me it works just fine.

There is a thread on my website for it... Check in General...

You dont install any of the Removed files. You place them in ./system/app.

I put Samsung 64gig UHS1/Class 10 cards in my S4 and my wife's S3. They work great.

I did reformat both to FAT32 though.

So far no issues.... It's only been a few weeks though :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
Hmm, I'm assuming that things got bad in your area specifically in this case? Cause my 4g speeds are still good as ever. I just pulled over 35mbps down and over 16mbps up in a quick speed test.

It would be terrible if Verizon screwed up in your area and we lost such a valuable dev! I'm rooting for you! :thumbup:

I have tried to pull the logcat from my phone several times but for some reason adb and terminal emulator will not pull the logcat. Do I really need to give you one because this problem is replicated on every verzion galaxy s4 user? All you need to do is download citi bank app or southwest app and you will not be able to open the app either on CleanRom 1.5 or 1.6. if you do not want to visit the play store i can post the apks here. I personally am not looking for any new features just want the regular ones to work like opening ALL APPS and Blocking Mode, once you create that rom i won't even update till verizon creates a new update. Im not a flash head once i get everything working corretly i believe we as users should be able to make the minor theme changes we need because those changes are posted somewhere on xda.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mssam:
If someone wants to get the logcat and is having problems, then try CatLog - Logcat reader. Free download in the play store...

this is something that would make me update after the rom is working flawless

I'm not to sure why but I'm definitely rooted and still rooted. If you try to open those apps you will get the same error. Thanks for looking into it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mssam:
That's an interesting article. I wasn't able to check it out through the "Instructions for setting up the software update installer" at the end of the article (which looks like you would update through verizon). However, it got me thinking and I connected the phone to the computer and opened Kies. Guess what I saw?

"A new firmware version is available. Upgrading may improve the performance of 'SCH-I545'. Do you want to upgrade?"

Current firmware version: PDA:MDK / PHONE:MDK / CSC:MDK(VZW)

Latest firmware version: PDA:ME7 / PHONE:ME7 / CSC:ME7(VZW)

I didn't upgrade the firmware. I'm going to have to think on that for a little while...

Ever since I installed 1.6 I am having Google services use 37% of my battery. I updated the play store like mentioned a couple of posts back, but no luck.

I never had this issue before so wondering what it is?

Verizon just dropped the update to the S4. Can't wait to get it on my favorite tw rom!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jonno95:
I update the play store to 4.1.10 and I thought it helped.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] popkurn611:
It still shouldn't be showing up in the battery stats....something isn't right, might go back to the older CR version till 2.0 comes out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justreboot:
You may want to wait on that update until it's baked into a ROM ....1.7, 2.0, or whatever :)

It looks like Verizon may be killing root or Loki. Neither one looks appealing to me...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markwebb:
Hmm.. I have the dev edition. I may switch back to stock to see what the update is .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yakitori2:
or you can just update the market and stay with 1.6.5. Disable google now if you havent. Update play store...to 4.1.10. I posted a link to it in this thread. Its fixed the gservices battery usage for me and a lot of others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mtown_cyclone:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anewday:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
No, I wouldnt give up the phone... I would just have more than one... Like now for example, lol

This phone was a gift from the CleanROM community like the Note II was.

I will continue to update it even if I move along so dont stress that.

Up untill just last week I was still updating my HTC One X... Then I hit the one year mark and said it had to go...

So you get a minimum of 1 years updates if a phone is "gifted" to me like the S45 and Note II.

Thats my general rule.

Hell I just did an S3 update and that was a phone I bought out of pocket.

I like these devices just to play with....

Yep... Playing with it now...

Dont screw with it!

Just dont!

Google services is more than likely GPS stuff running in background.

Yes, it is should.

They did!

Dont mess with the update...

Dev Edition should be safe...

Yeah, thats it, Google now...

YEP!

This is heart breaking... But... We will over come. We always df...

Downloading it now...

Firmware has been bricking peoples phones... I only mess with the software.

Yes, actually there is...

I need to find it... Hold...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Guys, do NOT screw with the official VZW / Samsung update!

Thats all I am saying. You have been warned...

Beanstown bricked his stuff and its locked down... AGAIN... So we need to wait for the guys smarter than us to unlock it.

I have the software and will be playing with it the rest of the night to see what I can do to get some usability out of it....

Scott - Consider myself paranoid, but ... all traces of OTA Updaters have been removed/borked from CR, correct? I know the update isn't OTA yet, but we ALL know that it will be any day now. I'm so disappointed (but not surprised) at Big Red that I don't even want to SEE the "update available" notification.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
I believe I removed them but even if I didnt it really doesn't matter. It wont hurt because it checks the build prop and some other things in the ROM so if it did get pushed that way it would IMMEDIATELY fail.

Causing no issues with your ROM!

This I promise you...

Right now I am getting the AT&T Update done after I do that I will be working on the VZW if nate doesnt get it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheMavic:
I wouldn't leave CR and lose root to check out a few features I honestly won't use.

However.

Will be nice to see it all baked into CR in the future.

Was lag addressed in the latest update from what you can tell?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theresin:
My fiance took the dive and upgraded (she gets a little annoyed with the amount of time I spend flashing/modding my phones that she won't let me touch hers anymore)..

I haven ever been too upset with the "lag" on MY S4, so keeping that in mind I would go as far as to say the new update has an overall 10-20% performance increase "feel" to it. Most notably, the touchwiz launcher lag is DEFINITELY improved, as is app-switching and returning to the home screen (using the hardware home key). I haven't had a chance to push some of her apps to the extSD card yet, so I'm not the person to ask on that one.

Overall I'd say it's a solid update, but that's only if you overlook the A** RAPE Verizon has forced upon us with their bootloader/knox tricks. I won't be updating mine until we have an exploit/workaround ... I'm not sure there's anything an update could give me that would make losing root worth it IMHO.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] syntrix:
I haven't noticed any difference after applying the patch to 1.6.5...no lag, it's fast, smooth and stable! No Gimmicks either!

I have had my 32 GB S4 since Monday and have been running CR1.65 since Monday night. So far everything is working great. Very Fast (> 13K on Quadrant) and no Lags. Have not had enough time to check out the battery life.

Just made my first donation to the Scott coffee/beer fund, confirmation number: XXX26437TM767284J.

I am looking forward to the Aroma installer as there a few applications that I would prefer to leave out. I have moved some APKs of apps that I don't need from /system/app to a backup folder. Still seeing Backup Assistant Plus listed under Accounts even thought the APKs for that app have been moved. Any suggestions?

I also installed 3Minit which lets me clean up the status bar to the way I like it.

Overall, super pleased with this ROM.

Thanks and looking forward to a long relationship with the CleanROM club.
