I was about to ask about re-odexing, and it seems you are already on that topic. :D Since I'm a masochist, I want to update some of the current apps and add new apps to /system and re-odex the ROM. (All of them were originally meant to install on top of current ROM, most came from the play store. They are not UI mods.) Will this script work? I was thinking the work flow would be something like: Wipe > Flash CleanROM > Flash Missing Samsung Apps > Flash Updated / New Files > Boot > Re-Odex. Should I flash the odexed or de-odexed version of CleanROM before I flash the updated and new .apks and libs?

Oh hmm, I was having trouble with the touch version... maybe I just wasn't patient enough. I'll try it again, soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theresin:
Yup, that makes perfect sense. Not sure why I would assume the bases would all be the same - chalk that one up as a derp moment. :rolleyes:

Thanks, once again. I've been meaning to learn how to Odex my own stuff - looks like it's time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Ummm... Yeah, that may work. I never used it. I use this one: http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?12988-Tool-App-Dexo-the-Universal-Odex-Utility

But in all honestly man... The samsung apps are not as important to be Odex as the main core of the system. I prolly would not go through the effort. But if your anal like me... Go for it.

Actually, under "Normal" situations they would all be the same. But I got lazy and did it a differnt way which basically locks the Odex files in. You cant take my ROM and De-Odex it :angel:

Next time I do an Odex build I am going to do a "proper" odex build so the files will be interchangeable with stock odex files.

I have not flashed any mods or any other roms other than cleanrom. I have only installed apps from the app store. After letting it sit on the samsung logo for 10 minutes I pulled the battery for a minute. put it back in and it booted right up. I tried rebooting after that and it worked. I have yet to try again though ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
If you're coming from a clean install with no mods, you should be okay. Unless of course something happened during installation. Most issues are user created and not specifically rom related. :thumbup:

Anyone have any idea why the root explorer option on ES file manager doesn't work? It just brings up this error message.

I did flash Hyperdrive before flashing 1.3 just to say I checked out a differnt ROM...

And now when I boot up I get the "Custom padlock" which I don't recall before. :eek: Sucks, but oh well.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Ahhhhh! Damn!

Honestly, I have been trying figure this out since I put v1.0 out. Im not sure if its a JB 4.2.2 issue, a SuperSU issue or an App issue.

I can easily get root on all my other Root Apps so I really dont know.

Look at it now!!!!

Its like LEAKING or something...

New one will be here tomorrow!

Does anyone have a "problem" with a slight hesitation when clicking the home button? What I mean is when I am in an app, app drawer, etc and click the home button, there is a slight hesitation before it goes back to the home screen; is this a "feature" or is it just how the ROM is? I also have all transitions at X0.5 (in Developer Options).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sparkerjc:
Its to do with the way the s4 handles root specifically. Someone was talking about it in another thread, using fancy college words and such. Sounds like ES hasn't figured it out but Root Explorer worked around it, $3.99... most other apps work fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Marine6680:
Wow... ew
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
If you have svoice linked to the home button it will cause the hesitation if I am not mistaken.

Ahahahah! Those people and there fancy words!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Nice, huh!

I know your jealous!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shanimal92:
Oh ok. I went ahead and disabled S Voice; do I need to do something else to stop it from being mapped to the home button?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
I am not sure right now... I cant see my screen :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shanimal92:
I just saw your post with the phone... No bueno

And if anyone else has my problem, you need to go into S Voice and click the box where it asks if you want to open it when you double press the home button.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
I never really paid attention but it did seem there is a bit of a delay when having svoice set to double tap home button. Sometimes it seems to be close but I think it does Make it lag a hair
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shanimal92:
Yea, although trivial, it annoyed the hell out of me. Glad its fixed though. I've never used S Voice and never plan on it either.

Scott, this is ROM is the bee's knees, legs, and its arms. You did good, kid :good::laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MutantPlatypus:
Install a different kernel like KToons or Faux. The stock kernel restricts root actions.

Are our only choices for home double-push either S-Voice or nothing? I'd like to be able to map it to Google Voice Search.

Neat! That documentation is much clearer. I'll probably do it for the next release of CleanROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] philsfan:
Will Faux's kernel work with the Odex version??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mngdew:
Scott,

Can you implement the Samsung logger block onto your rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trebb:
Yes. Both kernels should work with the odexed version. I've been using Faux on the odexed version with great results.

I don't think the kernel really has anything to do with whether the ROM is odexed or deodexed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] b_wat:
I have to say that this rom is far beyond outstanding right now I have had my S4 unplugged for 15h 38m and I have 3h 57m screen time on and I am sitting at 45% left. I love the balance between performance and battery life in this rom. I would highly recommend this to anybody. Thanks for all your hard work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
This delay is normal

No, just unlink it through s voice.

Grab a nifty app called Home2Shortcut and link whatever you want to you home button. ;)

I used BetterBatteryStats on my S3 (back in the -er- Carbon days for the same thing. It should show/prevent your wake locks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vwpiper:
I just noticed something odd. I sometimes install apps to my phone from Google Play on my pc. This is no longer working. I am running CleanRom 1.3 odex. No other mods.

Any guesses? This working for others?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kainu7:
So I just rebooted this morning and ran into the never ending Samsung Screen again. I tried pulling the battery a few times and it would still get stuck there. So I booted into TWRP recovery, wiped and reinstalled 1.3 and it still will not get past the Samsung screen.

I have just now finished redownloading 1.3 and am transferring it to my micro SD card now. I pray this works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bd1212:
I thought this was because the stock kernel had issues with allowing root rights to apps? The solution is to flash a different kernel like KToonz or Faux.

I just wiped, installed the new 1.3 I downloaded and I was able to fully boot. I will try rebooting after I have let it sit for awhile.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
If it happens again check md5 and switch to CWM to install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kainu7:
It broke again. :( file is fine too. I will try and install CWM, but I have to actually get back into my phone to do that....right?

You can adb flash the cwm recovery from your pc

In case anyone's curious... I dirty flashed back to 1.2 and no longer have the swipe screen come up when waking the phone. So something did change in the lock screen behavior. Also, I still have the wi-fi toggle, guessing it's some leftover parts from 1.3 since I didn't wipe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kainu7:
Wipes, reinstalled 1.3 to get back in, installed CWM. Wiped, installed 1.3 through CWM, same issue :(

I am now downloading an ODIN image take me back to stock. I hope this fixes my issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nickhimself:
Hah, thanks. I do pretty much all of my phone flashing and file browsing while I'm at work, so that whole write up was done here and not at home where I have other things that occupy my time.

As a general item of curiosity, where's the stock build.prop located? I see a build.prop in Stock (rooted and deodexed), but there's no build.prop in the Stock (debloated) rom which, if memory serves, is the actual stock rom... just debloated a little.

I'd like to see the actual stock prop file that hasn't been modified or added by an uploader, if someone's got it handy.

Also, and this is going under the assumption that you checked out the guide that I linked, the author gives a lot of detail and reasoning for his claims so I really do doubt many of his busted values are incorrect. The one caveat to this is that he does state that in some cases, the values are build specific; ie: some work on CM, some work on blur/sense/tw/etc, some don't work on the former or the latter. So if some of those were placed in there by Samsung then they're probably under the "these work on TW" umbrella.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ProfEngr:
I had to Odin back to stock & re-root again. Nothing else worked.

I'm using this recovery. I don't like the method of touch navigation they use, but it was easier to install than the others I looked at. I actually started a 2nd backup to the internal storage by mistake once.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vwpiper:
Thanks. That was it. Never had that happen to me on my GNex. And I have flashed (roms) thousands of times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ProfEngr:
If I want to go back to the stock kernel... where would I find it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JBeXX:
I had similar issues a couple weeks back and had to Odin to stock, re-root and all that fun but as I've seen people using both cwm and twrp have the issue, I am curious about file location. Do you flash from internal or ext storage? After I got back running again I've only flashed from internal and have yet to have another issue flashing any ROM or mod. All my previous issues came when flashing from ext SD.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LANAtron:
I successfully pushed an app from Playstore to my phone this morning running 1.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bd1212:
I've used either and both are great, but I think faux's might get slightly better battery life with intellidemand at the expense of performance. KToonz on the other hand, has far more governors and I'm currently using it with the smartassh3 governor which so far seems to give great performance with great battery life, so I'm gonna say KToonz. I think it just takes time finding out what governor is right for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kainu7:
I have now Odin back to stock; all seems to be well. I was flashing from the external SD card. When I root again I will try CWM ( I prefer them to TWRP, just ALWAY used CWM) and I will flash from internal storage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Just make sure you root properly, as silly as that sounds. Again, many things are user error.

I've installed from version 1.0 to 1.3 from external SD using both twrp and cwm. I prefer using cwm as its faster and has less hangups that the other.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Don_Don:
Yesterday I did a clean install of 1.3 and seems now that when I send a pic mms while at home on wifi I see the 4g icon immediately come up and shows that it working but the message never sends unless I turn off wifi cancel the send and then resend. I use handscent but did go back to stock messenging app and same situation. I have gone thru all settings within each app and cant see anything I missed, I rebooted a couple times, and like I said I've never seen this happen till today. Can anyone think of any setting I may have missed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tCizler:
Just an observation. I'm on a clean install of 1.3 odex, and using nova launcher. When I download an app from the play store, or even just side load an app from my SD card, it puts the app on my home screen. I unchecked the auto add feature in the play store, but it does it anyway. I see no settings in nova that would cause this.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thepolishguy:
There is a setting in Nova for that. I am running Action Launcher right now and can't remember where it is. Did you check the"Labs" section?

Hopefully a Nova user will chime in.

Mobile Hotspot vs TrevE's wifi tether

I have been a long time user of TrevE's wifi tether on my S3, thunderbolt and others. I found the app to be very stable and the transfer speeds to be exceptional, once the app was tweaked properly.

I am using the native hotspot app which is unlocked in the ROM. It took a while to get my phone and PC communicating properly, but eventually worked it all out.

I have noticed however that the connection is not very stable and that the transfer speeds are not great. I am curious if anyone has any thoughts on the advantages of "mobile hotspot" vs "WiFi Tether"? Or if there are tweaks that can be made to improve connection and transfer speeds?

I realize WiFi Tether doesn't yet work on the S4 (not sure if there plans to port), however if it is a superior app, I would like to encourage the development and porting for the S4.

Thanks!

Thanks! I don't know how i missed it, or why it was checked this time, and never before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
I will test when I get near wifi, but have you tried deleting handscent, clearing the data and cache from the stock app and rebooting? Perhaps something to try until I can verify. I haven't sent an MMS on wifi with 1.3 yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kdo23:
I think the new app behavior in nova has only recently been separate from the play store. So basically if you kept restoring from a backup you may not have had the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Let's keep the thread rom related, we are getting off topic conversing about launchers, kennels, etc.

Most issues are caused by user error. Inappropriate use of a third party application, or conflicting settings. Before you post, please search and go through the settings of applications to verify that they are not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Don_Don:
When I first noticed the problem I did delete handcent and delete data/cache in stock messenging app to try and eliminate all outside issues and still is a no go. I'd certainly appreciate you checking yours out when you get a chance and get back with me. Thx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Okay, within the hour. But did you restart your phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Don_Don:
Yep...multiple times.

It might be worth noting that I originally dirty flashed from 1.2 to 1.3 but the first time I went to use gps while in my drive it wouldn't lock until I turned off wifi. So when I got home I did a complete wipe and fresh install and now gps locks always so only issue is with sending mms while on wifi. 4g icon comes right up instantly but message never sends until I turn off wifi and resend message.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Might be a silly question but did you flash from deodexed to deodexed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Don_Don:
This was a fresh install of 1.3 odex on a complete wipe.

This did not happen to me on 1.2 or 1.3 when I originally did a dirty flash. All have been odex except for the 1st one that wasnt recommended.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Just tried it and can't send mms while on wifi either.

I think they mean that mms does not work if they are connected to Wi-Fi, not that the messages actually use Wi-Fi to transmit.

Sorry to burst your bubble. I have 1 bar of 4g at my mother's but I just tried several times sending. And instead of turning wifi off I left it on. It did end up sending, just took a bit due to the ****ty signal. :thumbup: all good here buddy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Don_Don:
Ok thanks I guess I'll do another clean install of 1.3 cause mine just don't send and ends up timing out. It appears like its going to work cause the second I hit send button the 4g icon pops up in notification area and appears to send data but never does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rustynutzz:
Odex, it's nasty. Super fast.

The way I understand it is De-odex is if you plan on customizing further, and odex for loading your programs faster. So you get more speed with odex. I believe the odex version uses a dex file seperate from the apk to load programs faster, where de-odex adds the dex file into the apk. Something like that.

I actually got to charge my phone a few times! It was nice!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Something was conflicting between the roms for sure. I would imagine doing a dirty flash between a deodexed and an odex would cause issues.

Not sure what your trying to point out bud but if you think I didnt read the op your wrong I read it many times and probably have read each post since following. Im a learning in progress for sure but if you read my post I said it was a CLEAN install so I have no idea what could have happened. I didnt post this before before but you sound interested as I installed each app 1 at a time and each setting I changed 1 at a time I sent a mms to myself to see if it was something I installed or did to cause my issue. I really did read the op and hate to waste anothers time. Thx again for the ones that shared input:)

Huh? What?

Dude... The build prop is in the same place as every ROM it never changes on a non aroma ROM. Its in the same place as stock as my ROM.

Secondly the only edits I made to the build are under a section called "#CleanROM"

Third, that article is way old and not accurate. I will disagree with a lot of what he says. Considering samsung put in some of the "BUSTED" items I cant really believe what he says.

What makes him more of an authority than I?

Carrier issue.

Its all the damn magic motion stuff.

Someone answered this not to mention I answered it at least twice in the thread so I will let it be...

Pretty sure VZW was having issues.

Yeah, I can imagine how nice that must be... Only imagine... Will never be there... but can imagine :p

Negative... Odex and De-Odex have no functional impact on the ROM. Only preformance changes.

Did flashign in general is poor habit. When apps update things can go wrong.
