tethering works, especially if you flash the GPE CSC located in OP.

when you mentioned the vibrating before, i checked my phone to see if i could replicate. i didn't have Google Search installed at the time. since you're mentioning it again, this time i installed Google Search. long pressing brings it right up. check the md5 if you haven't in OP to make sure you got a good download. if you did, i would re-flash. long press should either do absolutely nothing (if GSearch isn't installed) or should bring up GSearch.

this is because the software is waiting to make sure you aren't going to double tap for recent apps. there is a fix for this but it has been explained in the thread why i no longer support it. feel free to search ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrPapito429:
Please help, not that I don't want to read it, its just that this power button thing is killing me *metaphorically speaking*

And the power button has a 1 second delay as well when powering on and off the screen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
before you said home button. now you're saying power button. you have confused me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrPapito429:
The home button has a 1 second delay on exiting apps. I need a fix for that. Now with the power button, it has a 1 second delay to turn on and off the screen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
the one second delay in regards to the home button is a feature. the phone is listening for a second press of the home button to get to recent apps. with this disabled, if you want to get to recent apps, you would always be taken to the home screen first before being able to tap the home button again to access recent apps.

the power button is normal... there is no fix because it's not broken.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrPapito429:
Another thing, since the ROM doesn't have theme chooser, can I install a theme chooser theme and use winterboard to apply or would that not work or brick
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i have no idea. there are too many variables involved to answer this question. it wouldn't brick. that's all i know. give it a try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrPapito429:
Ok I just did and I can confirm that theme chooser themes work just fine with winterboard
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
thank you for confirming that this works :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrPapito429:
No problem man.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] CousinMikeyP:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] farru503:
Sounds good

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cryolithic:
So I'm liking the ROM so far, but is there a way to get into deeper settings such as LED behaviour, or like the Accessories settings for my SView case?

I guess what I want is a ROM that has all the goodies of CM, but the battery life of the Sammy kernel with all it's trappings. Any way to access the missing settings?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
no. light flow or similar for LED settings
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] farru503:

Getting random reboots after flashing from scratch. Phone vibrates twice then goes to black and boots up again. Been happening twice already while doing different tasks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
I didn't have any issues on this Rom, been using it for few weeks now...Also what do you mean by "flashing from scratch"

Is it -

1. “wipe data/factory reset”

2.“wipe cache partition”

3. Go to advanced and “wipe dalvik cache”

4. Go to mounts and storage and ”format system”

5. Then go to “install zip from sdcard> choose zip from sdcard” and select the ROM file you want to install.

Also are you using 4.2.2 or 4.3? I am using 4.3...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
Coming from a Vzw Gnex, this rom is rock solid with stock or latest Faux kernel. Thank you very much for your work MrVirginia. For those of you having issues with reboots, make sure that you're using a GE (9505g) compatible kernel. I learned my lesson last night when I flashed Faux 4.3 kernel for jflteTmo instead of the GE version.

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

MrVirginia the only thing I miss about more full featured aosp roms is the quick reply and "read" mms.apk options. I tried copying and pasting the latest CM mms.apk but even with permissions set correctly, it would crash upon hitting the settings option. Do you know of any compatible MMs.apk s with these features??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
upcoming change log can be found in second post. i do things a little differently than other devs in that regard.

no Wi-Fi calling just yet. been too busy to finalize it. new kernel, though, which is always worth an update. merged some of the add-ons. that's it for now. hopefully get Wi-Fi calling added over 4th of July weekend

edit: yeahhh just scored a 24265 on Antutu. up from a 20724 before.

also, 888 thanks :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
updated

07.02.13

-4 way reboot added to ROM

-add aosp browser

-kernel updates

-removed a few more Goog apps

you can dirty flash if on v1.1. just wipe cache/dalvik cache
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuego77:
Been using this ROM all day, blazing fast. Thinking about selling my nexus 4 now lol. Had 3 random reboots back to back earlier. The phone was extremely hot while updated all the apps. Other than that weird random issues. I love it"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] scorpio_bpl86:
dirty flashing right now :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lobster!:
Aww man, I just flashed mine last night.

Can you explain the kernel updates? I don't ever dirty flash, so I wanna know if it's worth it.. no offense of course :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
above post would be a good reason to update kernel...

in the OP, where I give credit to ausdim, there is a link to his thread that explains kernel updates. iirc, there was a cpu0 issue, as well as charging the device too much while screen on and plugged into charger.

just off the top of my head that's what I remember. kernel updates are always worth a flash imo.

alternatively, you could just flash the kernel which I posted a little ways back...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tikay00:
Does voice search work on this ROM ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tikay00:
Time to flash! :good:

Hey MrVirginia or anyone else, are you receiving MMS?

I can't, they just disappear from my inbox. Like, my notification says "MMS from blah blah", but when I click on it, I see nothing.

Can anyone confirm it's not just me?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Truballa4real7:
Finally flashed it so far everything seems to work data switches from 3g to h a lot other then that its good..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
no problem with MMS as you can see

edit: are you using stock MMS or the add-on one? try clearing data of your MMS app. if that doesn't work, re-flash.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wslytoy:
Gotta weird issue.... I literally can't DL any app or update any app from the play store after installing this ROM. Here's the deal... This is a M919 unlocked(using the free method) running on AT&T. I'm getting data, texts, phone calls are all no problem. I am able to connect to WiFi, but WiFi does drop off periodically. LTE seems stable. Kinda stumped. This 1.2 that I installed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
if you're on any GSM network besides T-Mobile where the GE is intended to work, please flash v1 at the bottom of OP. you need to wipe cache/dalvik when you do this. i'd actually do a full wipe.

then, i'd recommend visiting ausdim's thread (link in OP above section i just quoted) and flash his V3 Kernel.

this thread, since v1.1, is catered to T-Mobile users regardless of which i9505 device you have.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Truballa4real7:
I would try doing a full wipe and re flashing the rom..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rubi76:
mrvirginia -

thank you for your hard work - I just read the whole thread and you are doing an amazing job!

I share your love for stock in fact I just got the S4 when I knew that we could somehow flash stock.

I am on S4 TMO with Infamous, about to flash your Rom.

A few questions (some might be stupid so please bear with me!):

1-do I need to be rooted to flash this (I did not root yet...) or just have a custom recovery? (not rooted now)

2-If I stay with this ROM (let's say I want to go from 1.1. to 1.2) do I still need to wipe data and wipe cache? Is this a dirty flash?

3-could someone check if 'wireless display' (miracast) works? That's one thing that I didn't manage to make work yet...

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] studacris:
Custom recovery is all that's needed

Wiping data between updates would be based on how much has changed. Cache wipe is always recommended.

If you wipe data, that's a clean flash, doing cache only is dirty.

Someone else take 3...Ionno
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
Stu is correct on the first 2.

in regards to miracast, i can't confirm or deny. i do not own a smart tv or have a dongle. i've read you can use s beam, though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rubi76:
Just tested wireless display and I can confirm it works :victory: great!

using 4.3. Did all the above steps you mentioned. A complete factory reset. I did a format system too. The weird thing is that it hasn't started randomly rebooting until after today. I wonder if a certain application is causing the reboots. Is there any output I can paste that would help for troubleshooting?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ArgentSun:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dr. Fed:
Did you restore apps with Titanium Backup?

Full wipe, fresh install of all apps from Play Store, and this rom is just as stable as stock TW, if not more so.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lanxinger:
yes I did restore with Titanium. I've done it in the past on this same ROM without any issues. I don't know what changed.

I'm loving this ROM, except I'm not getting very good battery life.. can't even get through a day.

I'm using the same apps I used to use on the stock TW ROM where I'd get over a day on a single charge.

Is there an alternate kernel, or any tweaks I can do to improve the life?

Also, I'm using the 4.3 version, is the 4.2 any better on battery?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
With faux m11 kernel and most of the time on lte, I can easily get through the day using the phone moderately.

So, I am now experiencing a "hot reboot" or some kind of "system crash," whilst trying to uninstall apps.

I haven't modified the system files, data, etc.

However, I did today, for the first-time... Pop-in an SD card, but that (presumably) doesn't have anything to do with this (out of nowhere) random reboot issue.

It's a 100% of the time, tested issue.

I ran a logcat app, but not via ADB, yet. I don't have access to a Windows PC, at the moment.

It happens if I try to uninstall apps from the Market, also via ROM Toolbox, etc. The phone vibrates once, upon clicking uninstall. Then, it vibrates twice, rapidly. Only to then, fade to a black screen, and quickly reboot.

Any thoughts, gents?

Because dammit, this bug is wickedly annoying.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrPapito429:
Can someone please help me. I installed TW Launcher from Linq'z and now my boot takes up to a minute on the s4 screen. The animation is just fine but is there a way to fix this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
some of the things users are starting to do here are causing them lots of headache...

are you running the Kernel that came with the ROM? without knowing what, exactly, you've done to the ROM after installing, i can't recommend anything short of a fresh start.

use the included file explorer and navigate to /system/app and delete the launcher
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrPapito429:
The boot is the same.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
what did you install exactly, mate? i need a link to the thread and/or zip file.

it's always good practice to break zips apart just to know what exactly you're putting on your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrPapito429:
The topic is on my profile. I'm not sure how to post it on here. A thread called just I think Touchwiz
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i had to jump through a lot of hoops to find what you're referring to...

in the future, i won't be doing that.

it appears that this zip in particular that you installed was packaged using an archiver that i don't have. it was prob done with Linux. with that being said, i would reflash the ROM because there's no telling when i'm gonna be back on my Linux machine to break this apart and make something to fix what that broke.

always make a NANDROID unless you know how to poke around zips and make your own to revert changes made by other parties.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
Mrvirgin I sent you a pm for the link to the inverted 4.3 MMS with quick reply.

so i have just uploaded this to my server. will put in the OP as soon as i'm done typing this message out.

just wanted to make sure you were aware that this particular app is actually based on 4.2.2. for the time being, i'll leave it but i'm already in search of a 4.3 alternative. i'm pretty ocd about that as i'm sure other users are as well.

---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ----------

Never mind, it was something that gravitybox was doing, I just had to turn gravitybox off. But if I do a factory reset and wipe, what app can I use to backup everything, like YouTube and web history. And all app data because I want to reset but be able to go back where is was but at a good state. BTW do I just do factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache in twrp
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] guyute74:
I was pretty excited about the gravity box module for customizing the quick settings but had the same hot reboot with the volume rocker. Yes, factory reset, wipe both caches and reflash. I use titanium backup for all my restoring needs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrPapito429:
I'm almost done deleting all the files the zip installed to the phone but I'm stuck on the META-INF folder. Where do the content go. If this means waiting til you get Linux then so be it. Not that I'm lazy to do it. But cause I don't wanna do a reset now since I'm already under stress of my sophomore year and don't want to do something wrong that could brick.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
meta-inf doesn't flash to your phone. this folder is what makes the zip flashable...

thanks. i saw the update earlier but didn't think much of it since i haven't read anything on the webz. i just pulled it apart though and am looking at the updater-script now. looks like this is our update for JWR66V to JWR66Y.

there's a new boot.img, bunch of patches, couple of files. not a whole lot but i'll have it patched. i'm wondering if security settings are going to break again...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Reignzone:
So, presumably... You will have an update out with the OTA fixes, incorporated? That would be a spectacular thing, for sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yep. working on it now...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
Jwr66y mh5

so, initial impression with it running for about ~10min...

the lock ring is higher now where it should be. new boot.img breaks security like before. that's about all i've noticed right off but i'm sure there are lots of under the hood changes since a large list of files were patched.

hopefully faux123 will work his magic with the Kernel again. in the mean time, i'll get to building so it's ready.
