[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sshanky:
Upgraded to the latest version and I seem to have lost some of the radio sensitivity. The phone is routinely showing no service, and I'm not able to make calls most of the time. It will connect briefly, and then drop signal again. Is there a radio update that I need to do in order to use 4.4?

thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] id4rox:
Did you just upgrade from 4.2.2 or 4.3? If so, go back to post #3 and read 6. Q. I am having signal loss on 4.4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmulla718:
What's ml4 bro?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sshanky:
I did at first, and had signal loss, so then I did a fresh install of 4.4. Same issue. I will read #6 now. thank you.

---------- Post added at 01:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 AM ----------

Also noticed that 4.3 contained support for the view case (answering, ending calls), but 4.4 doesn't. 4.4 does show the clock when the view case is closed, but no ability to answer or end calls. Anyone have it working with 4.4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] id4rox:
No problem. A simple flash via odin will fix you right up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
If anyone is looking for a better alternative then come browser try " next browser " find it in the play store. Way faster. Similar to aosp browser.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
Hey MrV, I'm on the latest version of your ROM, 2.5.5. I have a serious problem with the signal, I flashed the modem.bin and radio from your link on the first page, but sometimes when people call me my phone doesn't ring nor do I get any text messages. This never happened when I was on your 4.3 ROM. Any idea what might be causing this? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LoopDoGG79:
Xposed. ART is still experimental. Of all likely hood ART will eventually give you problems with an app or two. Xposed with GravityBox is way more worth it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
ooo i hope it comes out after tuesday. i will be on vacation so lots of free time and long nights :)

are you on an SGH-M919?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mitchellaneous:
I switched over to Dandroid for the time being but I'm not crazy about the way the transparent lockscreen statusbar looks with the S-View case on that ROM. Could someone post a flashable zip with the stock framework-res.apk (I think that's what's responsible)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
maybe you should ask him in his thread since you're on his ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dtokarz:
I had the same issue. If I was on LTE I would not get phone calls or texts, even though I had the right modem and basebands from the Q&A. If I switched to 3G everything worked fine. So after reading another post in this thread about running Triangle Away and rebooting, I thought I would give it a try. It worked! I now get all calls and texts on LTE. I don't know what Triangle Away did--especially since my counter was at 1 anyway--but it fixed my issue. Give it a try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mitchellaneous:
I posted there as well, but figured that since your ROM still has the stock framework-res that it'd be easier for someone here to pull it and post it. Sorry.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
Yeah. The T-Mobile version of Galaxy S4.

---------- Post added at 11:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

Thank you for the response. I will try triangle away, but what is that? Is it an app or something?

This happens with my phone with no data turned on. But I think it should be similar so I'll check it out. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dtokarz:
Basically, its an app that will reset the flash counter on your Samsung phone. If you flash a non-Samsung ROM the counter increases by 1 everytime you flash it. If you try to return your phone and this counter is higher than 1 they will know what you have been doing. :D This app resets it back to 1. Why this worked for bringing my calling and texting back on LTE I have no idea. Especially since my counter was at 1 anyway. Hope this works for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Adamkopo:
So I installed the battery % mod and it doesn't look like it did anything? Is there something else that needs to be done. Is it supposed to be a circle battery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dtokarz:
What version ROM are you running?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Adamkopo:
The latest one
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
It's not meant for the latest version of the ROM. Try Gravity Box, it has all the mods for status bar.

All the best.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hotbread:
I second the Gravity Box suggestion. It works a treat!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Adamkopo:
Thanks I'll try it tonight
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bruuce:
Adam,

In case you don't know what Gravity Box is (like me before yesterday). Its a module installed through the Xposed framework app, which you can get on the OP of this thread. Follow the install instructions in the app and then scroll through the list of modules to find Gravity Box. Once installed, the UI tweaks can be changed in real time without the need to reboot or flash other files. It's really cool.

Maybe you already know all this but sometimes its hard to keep up with every piece of info in this thread. So much good info. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Adamkopo:
Knew some of that, but thank you, that helps a lot!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
New kernel only contains "on demand" updates lol according to ktoonsez on the latest source released from Samsung for the i9505g

not long now

also expect the Gallery App to be dropped in this update from google
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
it's quite alright. i didn't mean to be short or rude. i would've pulled it for you but, iirc, his has the extended/advanced power menu baked in. framework-res and android.policy.jar are used for this mod. so, if i had given you mine, when you went to hit the power button, your phone would vibrate and reboot before giving you any type of power down options. in this case, i would've had to have given you both framework-res and android.policy to keep that from happening. and then you would lose the extended power menu (re-attainable via Gravity Box).

i'm thinking monday-ish. certainly not expecting it over the weekend.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
Hey there, I just tried using triangle away, and it doesn't work for some reason. I tried to reset flash counter multiple times, and Triangle Away is still saying my counter: 3.

I'm on the latest version of VirginROM, 2.5.5 (non-ART).

[MENTION=2651267]mrvirginia[/MENTION], could you check into this issue for me? Has anyone else experienced random missing calls and text?

Uploaded some screenshots if it helps.

Thank you so much!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] epsix:
Hmm..HTC One release 4.4.2 for GE already, I hope Samsung GE isn't far behind.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaZart:
It isn't.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
I just got a push notification to install Android 4.4.2 on my Galaxy S4, lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] epsix:
Really? No bs? ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
No BS. I would upload a screenshot for you to see but I already deleted the update lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaZart:
Why would you delete it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
The update isn't compatible with this ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
can you pull it for me? that's why you shouldn't delete it lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
I didn't delete the update.zip file. Is that what you need? If so, how do I access it again?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
it's going to be on your sdcard, internal storage. can't remember the folder

edit: check the cache folder
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
Which cache folder is it in? I remembered there was a guide earlier in this thread about finding the OTA update.zip file. I can't remember how to get to it.

Edot: Found it. How should I send it to you? Upload on Dropbox and send you the link?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
... Could senf it here too? :P. But yeah. Won't be compatible but I'm glad its out!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yes, PM please
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
Found the update.zip file. I can send it to you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
awesome, you are the man
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
Oh no Mr V and Dan have the update. zip!!!

I guess it's nandroid and tibu back up time....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmulla718:
Can't wait for the new update baby!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
thanks a bunch. I will get this up on Mon. I'll be busy with my little girl and gf prob the entire weekend. def looks like the right file
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
Just sent it to them! :)

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 PM ----------

No problemo. When you have time, could you also take a look at the random missed calls/text issue I'm getting? I tried the Triangle Away app, but it fails to reset my flash count back to 1.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] c_brown93:
Oh man! Enjoy your weekend. I will be back on this ROM monday. I want to try 4.4.2 first. Dan hopefully will have his out soon ☺
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vortex0220:
Issue with external sdcard

Does anybody know why I have the following issue after flushing this rom? The issue is with sdcard. For some reason 'Solid Explorer' doesn't see external sdcard in the devices sections, and when I'm trying to get into /mnt/extSDcard it stocks, or 'GO Backup' considers /mnt/media_rw/extSdCard/Gobackup to be the external sdcard instead of just /mnt/extSdCard/Gobackup to be the right place for my backups.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
my best guess is that Go Backup isn't compatible with 4.4? most people here use Titanium and haven't had that problem. before Titanium was updated for 4.3, there were similar issues with it. do other apps see your extSdCard? i'm pretty positive they do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
thanks. i've already got it running on my device. just won't have time to build out. also, this time i want there to be a final version instead of so many updates in such short time due to continuing to tweak. this means i'll be testing it the next few days ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] epsix:
[MENTION=483820]MrV[/MENTION]irgina can't sleep? Your hands is itchy after getting the update.zip??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] c_brown93:
How is it running? Anything new?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vortex0220:
the latest version of solid explorer doesn't see it either
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
volume distortion was fixed. still cannot delete photos from ext SD Card via stock Gallery app. really need to put our heads together to fix this. it's clear that they purposely broke this functionality. why is beyond me.

other than that, i can't tell since i've been mostly pulling files so that i can have a fully working build to flash.

edit: oh also the lockscreen statusbar is transparent by default this time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
Root Explorer sees my ex SD Card just fine. do you have photos on your external SD Card?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] epsix:
Hahaha, I knew you can't sleep. roflmao!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] c_brown93:
Anything new in camera? Like Nexus 5 got camera updates.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
well, i gotta test for you guys :D

the Camera did get a patch. i'm assuming similar patching as N5
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] c_brown93:
I wish you could post a build. I am dying to have it ☺
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] epsix:
Does this update the kernel too? Or no?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vortex0220:
Root explorer works fine. So I consider the problem is with the apps. Thank you mrvirginia
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i wouldn't want to be responsible for someone's phone blowing up :eek:

yes, new Kernel. someone has been in contact with me via email. they've already patched up with Samsung 4.4.2 sources. very interesting stuff. eager to test it, too

no problem!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
everything went smooth on my end, I'm almost ready to release but I've also been at this for a while, could not sleep mr.v? haha
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] c_brown93:
Can't wait :good: ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
I love it that both Mr V and Dan are as excited about a new release as we the users are. Thank you both for your passion and attitudes towards one another and towards us the users.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmulla718:
+1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kelmar13:
Gah, was finally getting the chance to flash the latest update only to see that there will likely be another on Monday! :victory:

[MENTION=2651267]mrvirginia[/MENTION]... for those of us who don't use the filters and never knew that there was a camera button in the gallery (I swear to God I didn't even notice that before :( ) Could you post the 4.4.2 Gallery (or PM a link to it) if it'll work with the ROM?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i went to sleep. 4.4.2 isn't really that important of an update. the changes they made we had already done with pulling the N5 Camera over :laugh:

and distortion wasn't fixed. heck, nothing was really fixed that was a nagging issue before.

the newest update will have 4.4.2 Gallery. think you would be okay waiting a few more days? really too busy to be on xda for a bit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kelmar13:
Of course! No rush. :) Appreciate it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] melqui2004:
I'm using m919uvuamdl no signal lost and tethering over 60Gb! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cptsmidge:
I did it, it fixed it, and the phone is working well!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marketingmike:
Is the 4.4 boot loader available yet

does anyone know if the 4.4 bootloader has shown up anywhere?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dr. Fed:
Awesome dude. Well done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bruuce:
Mine is off again on again. But I'm really not looking forward to taking it fully apart. If I do, I plan to fill any gaps so this doesn't happen again. Thanks for the encouragement though.

Does the phone feel less solid after the tear down? Or did you leave any scratches or cracked plastic?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hotbread:
[MENTION=2651267]mrvirginia[/MENTION] I'm experiencing an odd bug with the camera app on this ROM. When I launch the camera, it would do one of 3 things... a) crash and says gallery has stopped unexpectedly. b) camera launches with UI and focus ring, but it's completely black where it would be picture. c) load normally

I'm not sure why it's doing this, but it's more likely to launch into black screen than loading normally. This was a full wipe before installing and i'm using dalvik cache runtime.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dr. Fed:
The phone feels exactly the same. You must use a thin PLASTIC instrument to separate the side casing from the screen, otherwise it could crack. I sliced the edge of a credit card at an angle with a sharp knife to create the appropriate separation tool.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] id4rox:
+1 with this, use plastic tools after removing the screws. I broke my digitizer and did the entire tear down to replace it. Honestly, the job is a piece of cake if you can follow a basic youtube video showing you what to do. Everything pops in and out effortlessly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] helake_az:
Has anyone noticed that the 2D graphics is slooooooow on this build. Snappy is all other respects. Play the game solitaire...

Confused with 4.3/4.4

I am currently on Infamous with 4.2 and so far have not messed around at all with 4.3/4.4 roms. As you are aware, all of the information that is available in the different threads can be very overwhelming. I am confused as to whether or not I can install Virgin Rom 4.3 (or 4.4) without any problems. I was just reading the threads about updating the modems but can not seem to find the definitive answer as to whether or not I have to do this? I have not installed a OTA updated from T Mobile so I am still on MDL. Can anyone help me with a simplified explanation, or direct me to a post that explains what I have to do to be able to update to a rom such a Virgin Rom?

Thanks so much.

Drew
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmulla718:
Check the Q&A I think is in the 3rd post
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dclifford:
I had already read that, but it just says what to do if no sound....I am assuming I just need to go ahead and odin the MK2 modem prior to installing VirginRom right? Should that be all that is needed? What is this I am reading about still getting data drops after switching to 4.3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmulla718:
I'm on mk2 with no data drops. Everything is working flawlessly. Just do a nandriod backup of your current ROM. Then flash the new ROM. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
The modem is for 4.4. If you flash the 4.3 you don't need the modem.

---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

I didn't have any, I assume they're talking about 4.4. But go ahead, flash the mk2 modem if you want to switch to 4.4 later (I recommend that you do). Then just flash 4.3. Good luck :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
thanks for helping answer questions while I'm away, guys. always very appreciated
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmulla718:
Do your thing!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
No thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
Is anyone also having an issue with notifications not working with the Facebook messenger app?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmulla718:
Yup. Facebook notification are ****ed in android for me. Even using touch wiz stock. So its a facebook app bug...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
See though, the thing is the notifications were working 100% when I was on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. When I upgraded to KitKat, it just doesn't work anymore lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmulla718:
Really it didn't work for me :( I guess Facebook maybe need an 4.4 update .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
That's most likely it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Adamkopo:
when i try to use shazam, i get an error saying that another app is using the microphone, anyone know a fix for this?

maybe its google now related?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EtOHuser:
So I just flashed this ROM and so far most things seem to be working. However, when I hold the power button, there are no reboot options. Framework even says "reboot: no such tool" when I try to reboot within the Xposed Installer. Is there something that I can just flash back into the phone?

Thanks in advance,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Did you install gravitybox within Xposed installed and also enabled the Advanced Reboot Menu? Because I'm using it for a while and the only time you get that error I'd when you try to reboot from Xposed installer for the first time when there is no reboot option in your phone.

You don't have to flash anything. Just install gravity box if not instilled already and enable it Xposed installer n restart.

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EtOHuser:
Thanks, that worked great. This is my first time flashing a ROM.

Also, I'm on the AT&T GS4. Should I update my modem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Awesome, I'm a T-Mobile user, so I can't comment on your question.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bruuce:
If everything is working perfectly then no need to touch it. I'm also on ATT and for me my data signal would drop out while on a call. I followed the instructions in the 3rd post of this thread (Q/A: no sound / signal issues), flashing both files using Odin, and everything is back to normal. Very easy, but I did

not

get any noticeable signal nor data speed increase, so if things are fine then let sleeping dogs lie :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EtOHuser:
Things seem to be alright so far. My signal at the office is dicey. If I turn wifi off, it seems to still blaze data trails, but my mobile network state says disconnected. I think I'm just going to let it ride for now. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
this is very likely the case. you can try removing Velvet.apk located in system/app and give it another go

you likely do need a modem update if you're experiencing signal loss at times. which one, though, i have no idea.

i'm working on the new build. it's actually complete (mostly). the ART build is 100% done but i'm trying to learn how to re-odex so we ONLY have one build. i'm really not trying to release sub-sequential updates after this build. this will be it unless Google releases another nightly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
So excited....:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mitchellaneous:
After installing Xposed and Gravitybox, can you reboot from within the Xposed Installer or via shell command?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EtOHuser:
I didn't think to try that. Just did and still get the "reboot: no such tool" error. I am, however, able to reboot when holding the power button.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrNIGHTLIFE:
Love this ROM so far and sorry for the dumb question but is it possible for me to add a flashlight icon/feature in the toggle buttons menu?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jcX4ever:
I updated from 2.5.3 to 2.5.5 and now the battery seem to drain easily.

Also, when wifi becomes weak and transitions to LTE, a message "upload interrupted" or something like that appears. The weird thing is, I am not uploading anything. It's been 3 days and things should have settled down on this new ROM installation. BTW, I have the same set of apps from the last version. Battery status tells me 35%+ for Google play services. Screen usage is below 15% especially yesterday when I didn't really use it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mralexander006:
Installing Xposed and GravityBox allowed me to add a Torch toggle.

MrV has a flashable zip to install Xposed in the first post.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
disable CacheUpdateService. search for this in the thread and it will tell you how. i've explained it quite a few times now.

there were no performance changes from 2.5.3 to 2.5.5 really. the changelog is there, guys. it's as transparent as i can make it. those changelogs are more for me so i can go back and view them for when a new firmware base comes out. it is there to help me remember what i need to change. i don't hide any changes.

you must've started uploading something :confused: maybe you set up Google Photos to auto sync your photos?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
haha no problem, buddy! sorry it took me a bit. i just wanted to make sure everything was solid this time and that i wouldn't have to go back in and make more changes in a day or two. some people enjoy wiping/flashing/restoring, but i'm not one of those people just like some others.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
