A few things I wanted to share.

I deleted some system apps that were always having services running in apps. After doing this...my phone seems to be much snappier and quicker. Also a slightly higher benchmark score.

1. I deleted the ba sync service app. And there was another Verizon backup app. Deleted both. Deleted the visual vm app too

2. Deleted the health sensor service app.

3. Go into settings...accounts. ..your gmail account. .location setting and turn off google apps fetching location while not in use. This will kill the prefetch service.

I also went to maps app and disabled location reporting. Maps was using too much battery.

Anyway...try these and see what your results are. Maybe it will help some and its not just placebo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CC268:
Are you referring to Sync Service, Backup Assistant Plus? Also can I delete Verizon Login? If you delete health sensor I am assuming the S-Health app wont work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yakitori2:
U can delete if u dont use.

Ba Verizon is pointless if you stick with android devices. Gmail backs up contacts.

If u use Samsung health app then dont delete the h sensor app. The health app is not in the rom though its in the all Samsung apps zip. I personally dont use it because I have my own workout log...on paper. I font use my phone for it

the ba sync app will fc in settings accounts. But there really is no need for it unless u use it. Its Verizon bloat if u ask me

Its a kernel problem, use Toonsz Kernel KT747 the Root feature woks fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Actually what you just did is what I would have done if we had an aroma installer. I would normally part those out of the ROM and make them options.

But with out Aroma installer I tried to build a single ROM that would suite everyones needs. Its a very hard thing to balance so I had to leave SOME of the bloat.

Also, there is a LOT more than just what you noted that can be killed. A lot more!

There are all sorts of clocks running that may not even be used and a bunch of other crap.

Hmmm... There is also a fix coming from ES.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CC268:
Hmm I deleted the apps he said...all the Verizon crap anyways...I guess I could delete some of the samsung stuff like samsung link

I have used TrulyClean with this rom with no problems. There is an explanation of how to keep apps you don't want to delete. Hope this helps.

[SCRIPT] TrulyClean v1.3 - Remove all crappy stuff in no-time!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
I have a unlimited plan.

No option.

Short story

My daughter has been playing around with my phone the past few weeks and wanted the S4

So I bought it for her (she is 13)

As soon as she sat down in the car she said this phone is slow. How come it's not like your.

You need to root it! (and I thought she wasn't observant) Lol. So I rooted it. Her line has the limited data on her account I was able to Set the notification and alert on Scotts odex ed rom on her phone

1.3 odexed

Amazing a thirteen year old would notice it right off the bat.

1 less iPhone user!

OK sorry back on topic

It seems to me it will pick up your data plan and give the options according to your data plan.

There was no way I could of keep the rom on her phone if those options didn't work.

Used instructions from the op for the flashing with the latest cwm touch.

She is tickled pink. How fast I was able to make it.. (well how fast Scott was able to.

I second that - sorry scott but I am a CleanROM fan - HUGE fan i tried all the roms and rested on the best, and seriously I tried all of them, and yours is so stable and smooth - I think it needs to be what ships with phones - if you ask me i think CR is the answer to killing the iphone ;))

Thanks for al the work on this and hope your back is feeling better!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] geswek:
That is the right link.

You need to download 004m_r3 or 004u_r3; do not download 005; it's not for your base and thus you will brick your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
Well I thought I should bring this up, but does anyone have a weird issue with dropbox? When I take a picture vertically and look on dropbox on my pc is horizontal. However horizontal pictures stay horizontal. Not entirely sure if it's an issue with the app or ROM lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
No, I think its the camera app myslef. I noticed something similar but not sure exactly what I was doing. I do recall using drop box at the time. I cant really even tell you it was this phone. May have been another... But I distinctly recall the orientation being off.

I will play around later today. Maybe some other people can test camera please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stauf99:
In that case could you possibly make like a bare-minimum rom and throw something out on the side for people to flash if the want to install certain things? Like you did with some of the bloatware. (Wow, I guess this really is pretty much all aroma is)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
I have thought about this and have been asked before but not sure how far I want to take an ultra lite edition. I have a hard enough time keeping up on my current threads and this is just making another.

And to add to that, there would be more than likely a lot more bugs that people would report even though they would not be bugs but "planned features" due to the removal of bloat.

And on top of that... My experience tells me as soon as I made this ROM people would start asking me to add some of the features back.

See my conundrum here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stauf99:
Most definitely, just wondering which way you were leaning.

If you know stuff off the top of your head that would be mostly buggless to delete that would be nice. Other than that I'm gonna just back up and start trying to kill stuff myself regardless.

Get Well Soon!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TH3 ST1G:
I cannot figure this out, lol. I am on Verizon 2gig plan. Want my data cutoff at 1.9gig and to be alerted at 1.5gig.

Again this morning I went back to totally stock, no root, option to set the Alert is there.

Followed the root instructions again.

Odined in the prerelease kernel, data alert option is there.

Odined in stock root kernel, ALERT option was there.

Installed GooManager via playstore and attempted installing twrp 2.5.0.2 but, was having server issues so ended up having to adb sideload the image in. Data ALERT option is there.

Flashed the CleanROM 1.3 after a fresh download from Scotts site and that is when the data alert disappears.

Again, I am on a Verizon 2gig plan.

Dunno my friend. Everyone seems to have a different issue than the next person..

I may flash back to stock on mine to see if I get the option on a unlimited plan.

If I have time I'll play..

Did you flash odex or deodexed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TH3 ST1G:
I flashed deodexed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
That might be something with deodexed. I have only flashed odex.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TH3 ST1G:
I would agree but, the I didn't have it on odex version either. That is one of the reasons I wanted to switch to deodexed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MisterKrispy:
Has anyone else had any problems with widgets freezing/quit working after a little while? I've switched back to the stock ROM for now to see if it's my phone in general. So Far I've run CleanROM and Synergy and it's happened with both. I first noticed it with Beautiful Widgets so I uninstalled it and used the stock clock widget. That one froze after a while also. Then I noticed that all the widgets were freezing up. A reboot would fix it for a little while but it would eventually happen again. So far it hasn't happened on the stock ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] edif30:
Is there a list you can provide that we can look at? I am one that would want ALL of the bloat out. My S4 is fast with CR but my S3 blows it out of the water. I'd like to get to that point.

Anyone using the Verge app with this ROM? FC all the time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
I think one update from Samsung/verizon will fix the speed issue. Reports are that the app to sd update improves the speed on this phone. The s3 significantly improved after a update or two.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
IM going to be rebuilding to fix this issue soon. For now just put the data meter on your homepage and watch that.

Not once. Watch launcher are you using?

Everyone reports verge app F/C. I will look at that when I rebuild.

As far as list of bloat, no. I dont have one handy. Easy way to do this... Just use root uninstaller pro and freeze what you dont want. If all the functison you want are there then delete the files it froze.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
I have been playing with the international base and it smokes the verizon base all around.

This base is a dog compared to the latest F builds from Samsung.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] edif30:
Cmon F base! Thanks for the update Scott!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TH3 ST1G:
Thank you sir, how's your back?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Getting better but still on muscle relaxers. Makes me real tired which is why I havent been on much last week. I dont have a day off from work until Monday but I really want to update this base and make a couple minor changes to it. Just been so broken down I havent had time.

Then... One of my PC's died on me so I have been trying to figure that out. Narrwoed it down to a bad motherboard so that kinda took the wind from my sales.

So I ordered a replacement board and chip... That had to be RMA'ed because i dont think the board (Asus FM2 series) supports the Chip (AMD A10 6800k). So I have been going back and forth with Asus on that.

So yeah, its been a ****ty week!

But I was able to get a new OTA for the S3! But that is all that I got done this entire past week. Mess with broken **** and make a stock ROM. :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TH3 ST1G:
Yep, know the feeling, i've had my fair share of back/neck injuries. Chalk it up to military service myself. Last deployment to afghanistan I pulled my neck out to the point I literally couldn't move me head left or right without experiencing excruciating pain. Got back to conus and was told I had degenerative disc disease, I still have an active prescription of flexirol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Thats what I am on now, Flexirill. Just makes me tired. Doesnt help with the pain at all.

I hurt on Active Duty as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TH3 ST1G:
Yeah, I saw your post a few pages back about the Army. I'm still active duty Marine Corps, actually just got selected to Gunnery Sergeant (E7) this week, should pin on either Aug or Sep.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mssam:
...well, no. It couldn't be just deodex because I tested them both and on neither one did I get an alert option. I'm on an unlimited plan so...maybe...verizion has a backdoor, but idk...it seems strange for sure...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
I can't explain it since I really have no idea why some flash and things are missing or not there. Flash again the same file / rom and it's back but something else is not the way it was. I Been learn a lot but not enough.

Maybe some others can share what they have.

I never even knew that option existed till the other day. Or I would of had it set on kids phones. Lol

Now I will not have to pay overages...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
'

The reason it works for some and not others is the same as the WiFi toggle. Some are flashing dirty and some are flashing clean.

If you flash dirty it WILL work as it should. If you flash Clean it will not have full functionality.

I will fix it as time permits.

I consider this a closed case as I know what needs to be done.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TH3 ST1G:
Don't rely on it too much, it only tracks what the phone has sent/received NOT via Verizon. Every clean flash or wipe resets the data usage to zero. I have already made the mistake but, that's what this widget is for, lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mssam:
well, this might be wondering off topic, but I'll make it brief. I understand what you are saying about the flashing/options because I have seen it myself. However, I am sorry to hear about the overages. I know a friend that has a $400 bill because of that. I'm sure we'll figure it out no matter what. We have a great dev and and awesome community, so we'll find out what's what. It's only a matter of time... :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
This is what I am trying to tell people.

The setting thing is useless.

Simply tell VZW to put a data cap on your device or have them send you a text message when you are close to the limit. I believe they offer that in the my verizon portal.

Early advertisements said if you bought a s4 you would get a free upgrade to dropbox of 50 gb. Then I read somewhere that verizon removed this promotion for whatever reason but still worked for other providers. Is there any what to still do this or is it just not true.

I did call verizon to complain about losing my unlimited data that a few years ago they said i was grandfathered in. They fixed that and gave me my unlimited back but said he really wasnt sure about the dropbox thing but said others did infact call about same question.

Sorry to post this here I thought I was in the questions area!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
Verizon always opt out of promotions like this. There was a Dropbox offer like that for the GS3. Sprint typically follows those promotions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] prsnow:
You can temporarily install a modified version of Dropbox to gain the 50GB.

IMHO the Note II did not need an Odex Version because it was much quicker than this build / phone

I only do Odex ROMS when its needed. The note II was very refined and Odex was not a needed choice.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Well, I rebuilt the ROM using a different method. Unlocked all the toggles, etc...

I would say this requires a full wipe and if you dont full wipe you WILL not get all the new toggles and the Data notification in settings.

I also tried to tweak performance more and add some battery savings... But that will be in the eye of the beholder.

One last time, if you do not full wipe you will not get the benefits of the extra toggles and the Data notification in settings.
