Accuweather stock widget. Where are you from? I actually live in Maywood.

Yes it is, but the icon isn't on my wife's phone and I haven't seen it before until I flashed 1.3 lol.

Does someone wanna repack the apk and take it the dst icon for me? I can't because I'm at work right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] techusky:
Does anyone know if there are any plans to integrate an ad-blocking mod into this ROM? If not, is there something already out there we can flash to do this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ProfEngr:
Adaway from Play Store. Easier to revert than a baked in hosts file type block.

Sent from my SGS4 using one opposable thumb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] techusky:
Thanks, I'll check it out. And for those interested to know, AdAway was permanently removed from the Play Store, so you must get it via F-Droid. Instructions are here: https://code.google.com/p/ad-away/

Scott I just flashed from 1.1 to 1.3 and my GPS is still not working. I did do a dirty flash though to 1.3. I will go ahead and do a clean install now and see if I am up and running.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Should be good after clean flash. I did clean flash and everything is working as it should.

That icon has to be a setting.

Looks like I kill that widget or I would test it fir you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ProfEngr:
Guess I've been using TiBu on that app for a loooong time then.

Sent from my SGS4 using one opposable thumb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
I looked, there's no setting for it though. If you go into the res folder I found the icon but I'm not at a computer to repack.

The reason I'm scratching my head is that on my wife's stock phone she doesn't have it, and I never did until 1.3.

We've been in dst since March lol! :confused::confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Weird.

I do notice everytime I set up a weather widget I can never get it the same. Lol

Its gota to be me tho.

I'll peek around at the settings if I can get it back

And let ya know
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] e90driver:
Question....I use PIN unlock set for 10 minutes of inactivity and a screen timeout of 30 seconds. If I use the power key or home button to wake the phone at any point under 10 minutes it brings up the lock screen. Not with the PIN, but with the swipe screen.

On the prior version of CR waking the phone brought up the home screen, without any need for a swipe. I can't figure out how to disable this and it's driving me CRAZY.

I'm sure I'm just overlooking something and one of you will chime in with the easy answer... and I'll feel real dumb. TIA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kainu7:
Well I did a clean install of 1.3 and so far my GPS is not working. Under Maps I am seeing 1500 meters are my accuracy. I downloaded GPS Test by Chartcross Limited and it is showing says it sees 24 satellites but 0 are in use.

Wonder if I should go back to stock and see if that fixes it? It was working before I rooted. I need to have my GPS, I am going to be driving 10 hours to for a family reunion Friday!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Test it with clear view of the sky and a data connection. The fact that your phone is even seeing satellites indicates your gps is working.

Before the fix people, including myself could even get a satellite in view.

Make sure you just have the pin setup without a pattern. If you have a patten it will show up instead of the pin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] popkurn611:
I too noticed the sun clock icon on the weather widget after updating to 1.3. My boyfriends stock s4 does not have it either....very odd indeed and the suspense is killing me to know what it is!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] e90driver:
I thought that might be it as well.. So I went back in, disabled all screen locks and started over with a PIN lock only. The "issue" persists.

I'm tempted to re-flash 1.2 just to look at the settings, maybe there's a check box or something missing on this version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jredecop:
Ive been doing a clean install then restoring apps+data through titanium backup as well as resorting touch wiz data so that all my apps are back in place. Am I in any way hurting anything by doing it this way? Saves a lot of time with setting everything back up and placing my apps back in the correct spot on my screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Maybe Scott can shed some light on it. But like stated above its day light savings time icon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Don_Don:
I don't know anything about roms but I can tell you that this morning I went to use gps and I seemed to get the same. When I looked at the wifi/4g notifications icon I had none. I noticed that when in my driveway when I lost wifi my 4g did not switch on automatically like normal so I manually turned off wifi restarted gps and perfect since.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nickhimself:
Hey man, love the ROM.

Just a heads up in case you hadn't noticed, weren't notified, or weren't aware of this issue. Your build.prop has a few multiple values that may conflict with each other and possibly either negate the changes you want, or invalidate the string all together. Not sure how that's handled on the system's end, but I figured I'd let you know.

The conflicted items are:

dalvik.vm.heapsize=24m
dalvik.vm.heapsize=512m

debug.composition.type=dyn
debug.composition.type=gpu
debug.composition.type=gpu

debug.enabletr=false
debug.enabletr=true

debug.sf.hw=1
debug.sf.hw=1
debug.sf.hw=1

video.accelerate.hw=1
video.accelerate.hw=1

ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0

Also, not sure if this will affect anything but this 2-Part Guide details some commonly used build.prop values that either do nothing, or can potentially make the system run slower by implementing unnecessary CPU usage.

A TL;DR summary of the contents are:

[b]CONFIRMED[/b]
persist.adb.notify
ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.bps

[b]PLAUSIBLE[/b]
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags

[b]BUSTED[/b]
dalvik.vm.checkjni
dalvik.vm.execution-mode
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit
dalvik.vm.heapsize
debug.performance.tuning
persist.sys.purgeable_assets
persist.sys.use_dithering
pm.sleep_mode
profiler.force_disable_ulog
ro.config.nocheckin
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ
ro.kernel.android.checkjni
ro.kernel.checkjni
ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap
video.accelerate.hw
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec

Items in your build.prop that are also in the BUSTED category of the above linked article:

dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=128m
dalvik.vm.heapsize=24m
debug.performance.tuning=1
ro.config.nocheckin=1
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
ro.kernel.checkjni=0
ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap=8000000
video.accelerate.hw=1

I read that some of the values may be dependent on hardware, firmware, or vendors. For example, some may work on AOSP based roms, but not on Sense, Blur, TW, etc.

Regardless of how this does/does not impact your future build.prop values, I at least wanted to bring this to your attention. I'm sure it won't matter much in the long run, but your rom is my favorite TW based build. Hopefully something I posted will help as I prefer using CleanROM over any other TW bases right now.

Edit: Literally all of this over analysis nonsense is thanks to my ADHD meds + no breakfast.

How close is ATT and Verizon code base?

Scott - Since you are supporting both ATT and VRZ now, I'm curious how close they are? Over on the ATT S4 forum there is a modified services.jar that does some CRT animation.

((Mod)Crt-off animation de-odex

I'm curious how close our Java files are to theirs. Can I just load their services.jar on CR1.3, or not?

Request: Scott, can you please make the "Presidential Alert" un-checkable? (Under messaging/settings/emergency alerts)

Its like 1984 or something. Who the F does he think he is that his personal alert system is so important that he's going to make sure I get it whether I want it or not. Its got to go. Got to!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PaintDrinkingPete:
OK, I'm *NOT* going to get into politics here...

Have you ever actually received an alert from this service? I was under the impression it was only for events related to Nat'l security. It's not a partisan thing or folks asking you to contribute to campaigns. I'm pretty sure it's also against the law to disable it, so asking Scott to help circumvent it probably isn't going to get you very far.

Again, politics and big brother and privacy and freedom of information aside, I don't really think it's something to be paranoid about (cell phone companies are already giving the Gov't everything they need without this). Even if I'm wrong or you completely disagree with me, I'm pretty sure there's nothing that can be done about it on this forum.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MutantPlatypus:
Hyperdrive has a CRT-off animation working. I find it annoying, but to each his own, I suppose. You might try asking on the Hyperdrive thread here in VZW forums.

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

Ha! That is funny. I never noticed that. The gov can get pretty self-important. What could possibly be so important - yet not immediately apparent - that couldn't be delivered via police with loudspeakers? "This is President Obama. Don't forget to properly inflate your tires and eat your vegetables." "This is President Bush. Please continue shopping."

Anyway, since it's under messaging, I bet it's just a text message with a special header. Un-checking those boxes probably just turns on a filter that automatically deletes those messages or declines to download them from the carrier. It's no different from blocking a stalker or harasser. (!) It's not affecting battery life or performance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] major payne:
Actually tht is the emergency broadcast system basically and most likely needs to be there by law.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Yeah dude, you need to watch more tv...

Some of the items you listed as "busted" were actually put there by Samsung... Also, some of the conflicts, Samsung also...

But thanks for looking! I appreciate it!

But when you get time look at the stock Samsung B/P.

Ummmm... Remember the great GPS debacle of version 1.1? Hahaha... You figure it out from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 0reo:
On my previous phone (Moto Droid X) I would occasionally get Emergency Alert System "tests" under the "Presidential Alert" heading. Annoying on multiple levels!

And its not illegal to disable this alert on your own device. If it were then things like AOSP would be against XDA policy and that's just silly.

That's what I'm trying to say. That particular check box is checked and grayed out so it can't be unchecked.

I want the ability to uncheck it.

I am sorry if this is the wrong place to ask for such a thing but to me that Presidential Alert is just one more piece of bloatware needing removal and that seems consistent with CleanRom's goals.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] major payne:
In compliance with the National Alerting Program, The federal government is keen to implement a centralized system of control over all communications, with last year’s announcement that all new cell phones will be required to comply with the PLAN Program (Personal Localized Alerting Network), which will broadcast emergency alert messages directly to Americans’ cell phones.

Although users can opt out of receiving the alerts from FEMA and the Amber Alert program, messages direct from the president will be mandatory.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PaintDrinkingPete:
It's part of the "Wireless Emergency Alerts" network that was enacted about a year ago.

Many folks complain that it's just another way for the Government to track people, but honestly, I don't believe they need this system to do that anyway. Maybe I'm wrong...again, I'm not going to get into politics here.

What it's for is providing the general public with info they need in the event of an emergency. You can opt out of some of these messages, however you cannot opt out of the "Presidential Messages", which is why folks get upset about it. I'm pretty sure these are intended to be messages to alert folks of events related to National Security (i.e. 9/11)...and as long as that's the case, I'm fine with it. If I start getting messages similar to the ones you posted above and/or campaign related, then I'll change my tune considerably.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 0reo:
I'm not asking for it to be removed. Just the ability to uncheck it like I can for all the other emergency broadcast alerts.

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

Can someone direct me to where I can ask one of our developers for help on locating the files and source code that control this check box? I can figure out what to do with that trash on my own from there.

Although users can opt out of receiving the alerts from FEMA and the Amber Alert program, messages direct from the president will be mandatory. (1.compulsory: needing to be done, followed, or complied with, usually because of an official requirement)

IE can not be allowed to be unchecked... which means it actually might be against XDA rules to allow it to be changed. As I'm not a lawyer I can not comment on it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] timeToy:
Take it easy, "presidential alerts" have nothing to do with Obama, they are the highest form of official notifications, they are used for immediate life-threatening emergencies, natural disasters, war, or any emergency where time and location is critical for survivability. (For instance, my wife got some alerts last week in Saint Louis, as a tornado make its way toward her, giving her enough time to hide). Congress voted that you can't disabled them.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 0reo:
I'll be the judge of what's "critical for survivability." I don't need congress or a cell phone alert to take care of myself. It isn't about Obama, its about MY phone, and me having the final word over my property.

The instructions in the link above do work to uncheck the Presidential Alert.

Might be your phone, but you do "lease" the service that makes that phone usable whether it be through Data (Verizon), or WiFi (ISP). That's like saying because you own your vehicle you're entitled to drive 120mph while tipping back PBR Tall-Boys.

The name "Presidential Alerts" is unfortunately misleading, as it ultimately has nothing to do with that. (where's my tinfoil?) The goal is to not only save the lives of people in the path of imminent danger, but also to avoid the unnecessary loss of life that results from people not getting, or heeding emergency alerts.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Marine6680:
Well... you can on your private property... so if you own a bunch of land that allows you the room to do it... you are free to do so.

It's funny you should mention that - I was about to comment that my GS4 seems to charge much FASTER than any other device I've had, especially the GS3. I'm just using the stock charger, but i've noticed this even while charging via Computer USB. Odd.

To anyone who's running the official CWM recovery from Rom Manager (the $2 paid version): I switched to CWM from TWRP because of the horrible lag and glitches the most recent TWRP releases had.

Well, CWM seems to be running very slow for me as well. It can take multiple attempts before it registers touches and seems to stutter while changing screens. Actual functions seem to be running slow as well; clearing my cache can take upwards of 15 seconds, and permissions fixes are taking minutes (literally).

Is it like this for anyone else? I doubt it, but I figured it worth asking. I'm thinking this might require an ODIN back to stock & fresh start. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Thats what I am using too!

Aint that the TRUTH!!!

I was jut going to say, I actually get tornado alerts from VZW. Not sure if that is tied to the presedntial alert thing or not. Nor do I really care.

The presidential alert is mandated by US law. If I build on the international base maybe we can get rid of it that way.

Here is the trick with CWM. It has to start ADB when it boots. Or seemingly so. So you cant touch it for the first 10 seconds. If you do you will induce horrible lag.

For me the official touch is the best I have used. Zero lag and ROMS flash about twice as fast.

DId you flash ANYTHING at all (like a MOD, Tibu backup, etc) just prior to it getting stuck at the boot logo? I've had this happen twice now, but only when I tried flashing a few different "odex safe" status bar icon mods while running the odex variant. Obviously, these mods caused my problem.

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

I know! I even double checked the zip contents to make sure they were indeed Odex, but they still caused problems! I imagine it could be a perfect storm of variables and not the fact that it's a SysUI mod, but that's above my pay grade.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Dude, you cant mix and match odex files from one base to another.

And although this is the VZW base I "re-odexed" from a de-odex base... Meaning... You wont get odex mods to work on this base unless I personally make them.

In the future I will make the odex base more compatible but... I do have a De-Odex base out there for mod purposes. So if you really need an Odex base that leaves two options...

Run De-Odex, add mods, then re-odex the base. Thats what I did. Its not hard to do at all.
