[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TH3 ST1G:
OK, sorry for these quetions but, how would i go about installing things like the video player and myfiles?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Flash them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Yeah, I agree with most of that stuff. Because I dont use any samsung widgets.

Peel is essential though. I love the remote control!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
Yeah there's some stuff there I would delete. Couple things I would not like allshare and the couple camera features. I don't use them yet but never know and would be nice to have if ever needed. I'm sure he will take them into consideration.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
What the hell! I can plainly see its not in the ROM.

I even posted a zip for it :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
Mine is working too. Videos on facebook use this player right? If so, mine is working fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
The way I see it... Is two ways...

If I take too much out the thread will fill up with "How do I get back App X"

If I leave in extra stuff people can always delete it themselves.

So Thats why I left that stuff in the ROM. I wanted it to be still 100% functional.

If I take out Allshare play (Samsung Link now) and some of the other files like the widgets... People will be get angry...

So I am trying to balance until I get time to test Aroma.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tedescop:
There definitely is a video player and the pop out option is insane.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jayochs:
hahaha that's so weird....yeah my vid player works fine lol

hey, how do we make a shortcut for popout browser? i remember the s3 had it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
Exactly. I actually like some of the features from Samsung. I use a couple gestures and may use others one day. This phone is a powerhouse. A couple hundred extra mb of stuff isn't going to slow it down
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TH3 ST1G:
Done, those files worked from what I can tell
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Yeah, I figured it out. The Icon is missing which is a front end to the embedded player. So the front end is also a gimmickl so you buy movies from samsung.

So Eitherway, I put the Video's App in and it will allow you to load videos from the app vs a file manager.

I dont recall that on my S3? I put the pop up browser in but never had a shortcut...

Speaking of which did anyone find the two hidden games on the stock ROM?

Yeah, I tested too aand they seem to be good!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jayochs:
some roms made a shortcut to popout browser, and i thought yours was one of them. how else would you access it?

and nope, what gems?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
Aww, that sucks. I was really looking forward to it. I hate seeing the AT&T and Sprint variants having. Damn Verizon for blocking blocking mode lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MutantPlatypus:
Odexed definitely boots faster. I started with deodexed and reodexed/zipaligned the ROM (plus several apps moved to system) with that dexo script you linked to waaaaay back. I think its also a bit snappier, but its barely noticeable.

Aw, man. Well, I can wait. Still the best TW ROM so far. Good luck with real life. Keep it real.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] triton302:
Can you PM me about the increasing ringtone thing as well please? Thank you.

What does everyone use for the WiFi tethering. Current the only thing that I have gotten to work is the Widget in this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2292440 If i'm doing something wrong I'd love to know what it is.. I use NFC task launcher and they don't support starting widgets.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mssam:
The tethering works fine, just use the toggle...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] niv3d:
Odex is by far more stable and smoother. It has been said many times on any phone I've owned anyways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbigdrawsz:
SCOTT DOES IT AGAIN!!!!

Glad to see you working on the S4!! Thanks for the great ROM and hope to see more tweaks ahead!:good:

Ah, just tried it on the Note2 and got a call not sent message. Must be an Intl. base thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jdella681:
just randomly tried using the dual camera mode and im getting lock issues unless i back out to the home screen or change the mode within the app. anyone else having these issues? not the end of the world but just a bug i came across.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] syntrix:
works fine here. First time using the feature in auto-mode, but I did re-install the samsung apps package. That's about the only difference from a stock 1.5 R2 here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jdella681:
lol oddly enough its actually working fine out of the blue.. i guess problem miraculously resolved :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Confirmed by messing around with blocking mode. It doesn't function at all, no work around or anything.

Then also the screen mirroring toggle bug.

I notice a difference between odex and deodex. Not only in boot time, but in app load time as well. This is doing a show by side comparison on two phones of both roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Just flashed CleanRom 1.5R2 Odex and everything seems to be running smooth!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SMR-DINO313:
had to flash stock and unroot last night . was running 1.3 odex (ran Great ), then 1.5 r2 odex (ran great ) until last night . my phone suddenly stopped charging , tried multiple outlets , even plugged it to my laptop nothing , flashed 1.3 again , same issue , so i was down to 10 % battery flashed stock and unrooted ,thinking id go back to best buy today to do a warranty exchange , but after flashing stock rom the phone started charging up ..

anyone run through this problem b4 , im a big fan of clean rom , ran it from day one when i was on the vzw gs3 .

i want to root again and flash clean rom 1.5 r2 but dont want to go through the problem again ... :confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blulite:
Bad cable? Charger? Sounds like something other than the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SMR-DINO313:
cant be bad cable or charger , im using the same cable and charger right now and its working fine .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ainvar:
I ran into an issue similar to this. After rebooting the phone it would freeze up after 2 minutes after entering in my pin and going just sitting on the home screen. I ended up using odin with the stock image and so far so good. Nothing in the log files were showing anything at all on this issue. Since then been on 1.5R2 odex and everything is kosher again. Like I said just strange with no rhyme or reason.

Glad it was not a hardware issue for you on the not charging part though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
No issues for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anewday:
Scott, are you going to incorporate this?

Also, is there a way to disable the screen turn on whenever a sms/mms is received?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scorp123:
Multi Window Manager from the Play Store. Problem solved.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] popkurn611:
You're 100% right, which is why I am hoping you can get the flashlight toggle in your next update so I don't have to resort to 3minit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lynseyw:
I am using this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2285074 and it works perfect. Some things don't work, but most do. It solves most of what you guys are asking for. You can customize pretty much everything. Gives you a flashlight in the pulldown by long pressing the brightness slider, and puts all apps in the multiwindow. Check it out. I love this rom, and this gives it the customization everyone is asking for.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mssam:
Actually, that's not a bad mod. I used it for a little while. It doesn't have as many options as the 3minit 2.2 framework, but you can get to your lock screen settings to change something...lol. I'm still searching for a different mod for xposed. Kinda like it... :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ProfEngr:
Install f-droid then look in it for Search Light. I prefer it over a toggle in the bar.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mssam:
Not over here there isn't. I've never had a problem with twrp on the s4, except with 2.5.0.3. That one was buggy which is why it was removed, but 2.5.0.2 is solid. I flash day and night with 2.5.0.2. Stock to odex, odex to deodex, deodex to odex, etc. all day long and have no problems...

There is no speed difference with xposed what so ever. I actually already had it installed to have successful Google Wallet

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Is anyone else getting an insanely large DATA partition when trying to backup the ROM? Mine is like 3.0 TB and it's not letting me backup to my SD Card because the value is so high. It seems to only happen when I flash CleanROM...I was on CM the other day and didn't have this problem....I tried formatting the Data partition...but when I restored from Titanium, same issue...I'm using TWRP 2.5.0.2....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Quiverskeep:
Doesn't look to be a CleanRom issue judging from the thread you were posting in. You followed the other person's advice (who was on CM10) and did a format of data partition....good. If that worked, and then you restored from TiBu and you have the issue again, then it looks pretty obvious to me that you need to not restore from TiBu? Maybe try that route?

The rule of thumb, imo, should be: unless you're on a squeaky clean flash with no restoration of past files (TiBu), then don't even waste your time or others trying to figure out random issues. Go back and start there ..clean flash, no restore. I think 8 times out of 10 your problem can be solved.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
You're right. I'll try it that way. Thanks for the insight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] p-slim:
I found a new problem with this rom, for some reason the citi bank app won't open on this rom. I thought the app was just not working the last couple of days but it's actually only on this rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rnd0209:
After installing this Rom, booting it up then restarting the phone for good measure this baby SCREAMS. LIGHTENING FAST & EVERYTHING WORKS!!

Good work man. Looking forward to the updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mtown_cyclone:
Have you tried clearing the data?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
SO, I did a clean flash, no restore..and installed every single app from the market with no data restore from TiBU. After setting everything up, I restarted the phone to recovery. The data partition looked normal with around 800 MB. This is when the issue came back up... after doing a backup, the phone restarted. It sat at the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen for like 30 minutes. I pulled the battery, put it back in, and it set for 2 minutes before going to the SAMSUNG screen with blue lighting...it vibrated twice, and restarted itself back to the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen where it sat again for at least 30 minutes. I did a battery pull again, and this time it loaded in about 3 minutes. I restarted to recovery and now my data size is insanely large again. It just doesn't make sense...grrr....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tedescop:
Anyone know if you can have the slide to unlock show before the pattern unlock screen. I believe that was an option on the S3.

Sent from my insane asylum :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mssam:
What options are you selecting in recovery when you do a backup?

edit: also, it's strange that you can't backup to your sdcard. What options did you chose when you did a clean install?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbigdrawsz:
My backup is just over 3GB as well. Muting special, just a normal backup like I do with all the other ROMS. I thought this was huge too, but thought maybe that's just how it is. I am able to backup to my SDCard though, so no biggie.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Boot, System, Data, Cache, Recovery....

I have the option to backup to my SD card in TWRP, it's just the Data partition looks something like this (345878669MB) which means it's much greater than the size on my 32GB card. Somehow, I think I fixed it though. I formatted the Data partition and restored only the data partition I had from my original backup. That seemed to work, because now when I go into my recovery the Data partition is at 800 MB again, even after subsequent restarts. All is well, it's just a weird bug.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mssam:
well, you're backup and running. Glad to hear it. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
I'm still on 1.3. The battery lasted 9 hours yesterday with 7.8 hours of screen on time. Waiting on fixes of the 2 known issues before updating. Might be a little while tho. That thing called life and back issues.

Hope thing get better for u Scott
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scorp123:
How in the heck are you getting 7.8 hours of screen on time!?!? That's insane, and at least twice what I get and I was REALLY happy breaking 3 hours easily, cause that's the best battery life of any phone I've ever owned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Dunno. 6 hours on Atm 1:55 on screen at 81 percent left.

Mostly using wifi Tapatalk and words with friends. Screen is 90 percent bright. No auto.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scorp123:
That's some BS.... I do stay on 4G at all times but that's no excuse for such a difference in screen time. My brightness is on 10% constantly too...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Yeah that's some crazy ass numbers. I'm actually very jealous and for some reason can't get anything along those lines...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Quiverskeep:
3 hours of screen time..Seriously? That just seems low. I get almost 6. I'm a heavy user, so I get about 8-10 hrs total...sometimes 11. I stay at 50% brightness. But I leave lots on and I don't even try to conserve battery because I always carry a spare.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sparatan117:
Yeah I was gonna say this is the first rom I really liked, but the battery life was horrible. (came directly from hyperdrive to 1.5). I was only getting a projected 9 hours with screen off. Flashed Faux's kernal and now things are groovy after some tweaking. 19 Hours remain projected. Maps seems to be a culprit.

On a random side note, is it just me or is the search function broke all over the site? I can't search within threads or within topics... it's actually becoming annoying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scorp123:
I push 4 hours typically, like I said I break 3 easy which I consider really good that's way better than my S3 and miles better than my old Rezound. I still find it hard to believe your getting 6 hours screen on... Are you on wifi all day with like zero apps installed? That's the only way I can see getting that much. Do you use Google Now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
I don't check battery time like most. I never compared to before after stock. All I care is I can use it the whole time I'm working. Guess every day is different like today google services has used 50 of the used battery at the moment. Most of the time I'm up at 5;30am and I will not plug it in till 3;30 pm.. Yesterday

Since we worked I was on surfing most of the day. The screen went dark as I was going to plug it in so What's That at 5 percent left..

Ever stock it would last a good part of the day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Quiverskeep:
Yeah, true, I'm on wifi almost all day. I have 53 apps..no idea if that's a lot. I keep GPS on. I use Google now a lot. Does that eat? or conserve battery. Anyways..about the same as my s3 did. I used to get about 5 1/2 screen on time with that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scorp123:
No way! I would hit JUST over 3 hours on my S3. I don't really see any obvious way to improve my battery life either. The only app that I see on wake lock detector is Google Plus. But it doesn't show up on the battery menu so I don't think it's really consuming that much power... Perhaps I'm wrong, maybe I'll try uninstalling it for a day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
While using Wakelock Detector it seems that maps is the number 1 culprit, primarily being the network location locator, signal collector.scannerthread, and signalcollector.scanner.

You all seem like you are getting amazing battery! But for me, I think I average about 1%/hour at idle, which I think is pretty good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Justblazeitup:
Just to be clear. I'm already rooted Wth hyperdrive rls5. I would like to try this ROM out. All I need to do is flash in recovery correct? Wipe data and all that jazz of course. Thanks!

Don't fix it if it ain't broke

It's weird cause I feel like I have the same stats on 1.3 and 1.5

Maybe I'll try getting a spare battery

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MisterKrispy:
Hi Scott, A couple of weeks ago I posted about having a problem with my widgets freezing up and not updating. After many restores, restoring from Google's backup and not restoring and even having my phone swapped out for a new one, I thought the problem had been resolved. I finally got my phone completely set up exactly how I like it and BOOM, it came back. I think I've finally found a thread where someone has found a solution and was just wondering if you would take a look at it and just let me know if this is something developers can implement or if this is something that Google has to fix on their end. I don't know what combination of stuff makes it happen because it's obviously not happening to a huge percentage of people, but it's a bug that has been around since ICS. If you can just look at it I would appreciate it.

The person who claims to have found the issue and a solution starts in post #56

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MHotovec:
From the TWRP site, according to them backing up cache and recovery are not needed. This could be part of the size issue.

http://teamw.in/whattobackup

The default backup options in TWRP are system, data, and boot. For most cases, this is sufficient for backing up a ROM. (Note that in some rare cases, boot isn't available for backup on certain devices). If your device has the option, backing up android_secure and/or sd-ext may be a good idea. There's usually no reason to back up cache or recovery (recovery not available for backup on some devices).

Some devices have "special partitions" like WiMAX, pds, efs, etc. These partitions almost never need to be included in a normal backup. It's usually a good idea to make a single backup of these partitions and hang on to them just in case. Make use of TWRP's keyboard feature and name your backup of these special partitions accordingly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mssam:
Yeah, I was going to tell him that, but he said he got it working so I just left it alone...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mssam:
I just couldn't resist, so I flashed it. After the flash was complete, the recovery said something like you appear to be not rooted, would you like to root? Chose yes and rebooted. Then BAM! Triangle with exclamation point with the verizon nonsense "System software not authorized by Verizon has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help." Yeah ok verizon...wiped and restored clean 1.5rc2. When it starts to boot up it has an unlock picture on the screen, but boots up fine and everything seems to be ok. Rebooted again, same thing, got the unlock picture again. Odin'd the 562219 kernel and no more unlock on the screen when booting up, and right back where I started; having fun on 1.5rc2 - waiting on Clean 2.0! :D Guess it doesn't work on the I545 yet, but it was a hilarious experience tho...
