The info stored in efs won't match the T-Mobile Sim. You need to bout into a tw rom, enable everything T-Mobile has in the hidden menus. And then try to swap the Sim. And "enable everything" means I don't know what everything is so you should probably start googling.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CrookedKnight:
Damn, it wasn't installed during the crash.

Oh well, NEXT TIME, GADGET.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I use phone info on a daily basis when doing my work on ports and beta builds. There is nothing wrong with it at all. Even if you don't install the app, that menu is still there. *#*#4636#*#*

Frankly that app is needed in order to fix data after someone or something has screwed it up. Going into the built in network settings automatically sets your preferred network to WCDMA. Meaning, no service. The only way to get it back without jumping through a bunch of stupid hoops is to use the built in functionality that is *#*#4636#*#*... Or just use the app icon called Phone Info.

I know you think it was the phone info app, but I'm certain it wasn't. I'm not going to try convincing you. I'm just posting this so that everyone doesn't take what you said and never be able to get network back without flashing another rom.

It only reads custom b if the boot loader notices you running not stock. Basically don't screw up recovery or kennel installs and you'll be good.

Hey can you guy post some benchmark scores I'm only gt 18000 Ish flashed a touchwiz backup and I'm getting 23000 now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
All other twrp builds are buggy. They stall or take too long doing simple processes. V2.5.0.3 and v2.6.0.0 simply don't work correctly.

V2.5.0.2 is the one you want if you are gonna use twrp. As for if twrp is actually better then other recoveries, that is more personal preference but cwm has been having issues with this ROM and trying to flash a recovery for some reason some reason.

Out of curiosity was anyone able to get 4G working on this bad boy?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CrookedKnight:
It works out of the box for me. Are you getting 3G but not 4G/LTE?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dolphlungegrin:
Yeah I am only getting 3G. I'm not sure why. I actually didn't have a working network at all at first. I had to use LTE on/off app to get it working. I set it as Dubbsy saud to as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CrookedKnight:
What exactly is happening when you have it set to use LTE networks? Do you not get a signal at all, or do you get bars and an LTE icon but a "no connection" error when you try to actually use the Internet? If the latter, try switching Airplane Mode on and off (or using a toggle that just switches mobile data on and off; it accomplishes the same thing and won't mess with GPS or Bluetooth) and see if that resolves things. I get that glitch once or twice a day, where 3G works but LTE claims to be connected yet gives no data, and toggling mobile data usually solves it in short order.

(That's the only connection problem I've had, so if that's not what you're seeing I've got nothin'.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Yeah it's strange. I must live and work in and around strong Verizon towers. I have had zero drops since before aroma. :-/ just like the carrier name.

I plan to clean up the first 3 posts tomorrow. Putting all major bugs into the second. Putting all included mods and changelog into the third. Then I'll elaborate on exactly how to get data in all circumstances. How to use xposed. Details about the aroma mods. And details about the kernels.

Also hoping to get some work accomplished on GE tomorrow. I'm tired of fighting with MIUI for now. It has 2 major framework issues. I may post it as a beta tomorrow though because it does work, the flaws just prevent your network selection to stick through reboot.

Having the same issue again. Ill have lte for like 3 days and then its just disappears never to be found again until I flash a touchwiz rom.

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

Also everytime i go into phone info the radio seems to have changed on its own and could become a variety of options its wierd its like its selecting whatever it pleases. according to the data speed im not on lte along with the phone info saying im on LTE/CDMA auto prl but my phone only connects to the EHRPD:13 network type.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] willmatic:
I'm ending up with the same LTE issue. As of today (about 5 days after flashing this ROM) I can connect to 3G only. Changing to CDMA/LTE in Phone Info does nothing. If I try LTE only, I get no data connection.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
It only auto changes itself if the network settings are opened in the regular settings menu.

For everyone having data issues I'll be doing an extensive data-fix write up tonight and probably tomorrow in the 2nd post. Until then, follow the steps I last posted. If when you get to the end of that you still don't have data the rest of my write up will take care of it. Really, you shouldn't have any issue at all following my steps before. But if you still do, I know how to reset damn near everything anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jwattt:
If i reboot it changes the radio setting as well it seems to choose a random one at start up even if only using the phone info app. Keep in mind I live in Phoenix and I am currently in a place that receives LTE. I would also like to agree that as soon as i touched the phone info app to shut the radio down it broke my lte for now Im going to go back to touch wiz and see if i can get a logcat of it failing :D mind as well help you out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] notstevek:
I actually noticed this. It was lagging, not booting, and I may just be a concindence but it wouldn't clean wipe. gave me errors, and I tried to restore a backup and said my MD5 didn't match.. So I flashed MDK build via odin, re-rooted, converted 2.5.0.2.zip to .img via terminal and flashed it in terminal emulator and haven't had an issue yet.. Thank you.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docnok63:
I'd love to help you, but I'm not having the issue. Does your phone get a GPS lock? My compass doesn't start working at all until I get a GPS lock in Maps. You'll notice as you pan around in Maps, the image will rotate, but the compass will stay at north.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdegroot:
Yeah. GPS is working fine. It's just the compass. When I test it in the GPS Status and Tools app from the Play store, it is clear that it's just not working. I rotate the phone and the magnetometer readings just jiggle around a little bit without following my rotation. I suppose it's possible it's a hardware problem but that seems unlikely. It did work at one point, but I'm not sure when it stopped.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tsukasa Buddha:
Same here, GPS is fine but compass is wonky. I don't really notice it because I rarely use it.

Awesome thanks Dubs
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I did a lot more on the next update today than I had expected. I didn't get around to doing the clean up work.

Basically if you can't get full working data it's because your nv data got messed up somehow. To fix it you need to boot into TW so you can access hidden menu. Find the dialer codes for reset modem and run them. Should fix it up. The answer is in the hidden menu for sure though

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NotoriousNeo:
Do you think this next update will have dem fancy transitions I've been pestering you about? Or could you PM me if you do or don't decide to include them?

I've noticed with the TW camera installed the rom can act a little more buggy (random lockups, reboots, etc.) but other than that this rom is still fly. I messed around with a Verizon HTC One at work today and I picked apart every instance of slight lag thanks to having this software as daily driver. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
I have used the TW camera since day 1 and have had no issues of reboots with this rom that were not kernel related, and damn few of those. You just have to be careful what options you use and what you don't. All of the settings work, ffc and video work, saving to SD card works, auto, night, flash, etc all work. Many of the other "filter" modes work, but not things like eraser or PIP. HDR works, but it's very slow and you have to exit with the task switcher and kill the camera before it works again. Just stay away from the things that don't work and you shouldn't have any stability issues.

Dubbsy said this was a rough port, but I'm quite happy with it, only thing I'm really missing is the ability to mute shutter and focus sounds, and jump into the gallery. He may be able to get other things working in the future, but it's more than functional now, which is awesome considering no other GE roms have it yet. I just hope it still works when 4.3 is ready!

:thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NotoriousNeo:
Hmmm, well, maybe it was because I was putting the phone through its paces, but it locked up on the ffc today and it would not let me exit at all. Had to pull the battery. Coworker had his last day so there was a lot of group pics being snapped on one of them like five or six pictures in a row when the 0/20 strip came on at the bottom and locked up. The second time it was adjusting the modes and it just hung there and force closed. I still prefer the TW camera over the stock one, even with some of the non-working features. The modes alone make up for that and this whole rom has been a smooth breeze.

Literally no problems except for what I mentioned, and that I'll blame on the TW cam since it's the only difference between what I ran before and have running now. Haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thadialeckt:
great rom hats off no a single problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:

Rest assured it is not forgotten and will be release ASAP!!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
It's coming together slowly but surely. The updater change was a big one. It doesn't seem like the carrier name got fixed. Going to try 2 new methods Monday. But the other network related things were definitely missing so data should be at least more reliable. But only time will tell on that.

Currently hlx is working on a "pure google" install button in the beginning of the installer and fixing 1 kernel installer. I apparently uploaded the wrong kernel when I tried to update my badassery-edition kernel.

Happy flashing.

Things to come for this:

Carrier label fix

Network settings link fix

Any kernel issues fixed

Updates to my kernel settings in badassery

Things to come:

2 new TWRP themes

More support for ChameleonOS(with treken)

And MIUIv5 for vzw

AOSP 4.3 project update (1 more time because project elite will be releasing a 100% working build in the future. I've been beta testing)

And continue work on GE-4.3(work with treken and hlx)

Hi Dubsy,

Is there any reason why you're continuing to use the 4.2.2. Google Edition ROM and not the 4.3 ROM as a base?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markwebb:
Ok, am getting reboots when I hit the volume button up or down. It does not change the volume but it reboots the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Because GE 4.2.2 is more complete and stable than GE 4.3(

on CDMA

). 4.3 is faster in everyway but I haven't been able to curb the one FC loop long enough to be able to get data. It's a project, one that I've posted about on several occasions. Getting GE 4.3 running isn't nearly as easy as ANYTHING ELSE I've worked on lol. I can't really explain why, which is the frustrating part. I have more ideas to fix it, but until then I have other stuff to work on :good:

Those having wifi issues on the BA kernel, are you checking md5 and are you selecting the performance tweaks just prior to the kernel screen?

I've clean flashed the source file that was uploaded to copy, that the md5 was pulled from, 4 times now with that kernel with no problems at all.

See attached. It reads as audismv13 because that's what it is but defaults to being setup for performance. I found audismv14 to kill mtp for me, so I reverted the setup back to v13.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
So is the rom fully stable for everyone who has chosen Xposed, tweaks, and ausdim or BA kernel? And again, BA is the same as ausdim, just with your default settings, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pmaxx:
Just wanted to check in and see if there's been any progress on the ability to reassign a long-press or double-tap button to be the menu key, or if there's a way to disable the double-tap action of the home button to get rid of the lag. I think that's pretty much my last unfulfilled wish from this ROM, which is pretty amazing to me.

Thanks!

I don't know if this is just an AROMA thing, but scrolling and selecting on lists longer than the screen is almost impossible. This is most evident on the Google Apps selection.

Is there some trick I am missing?

It's a bug with all aroma currently. I have hopes it get's figured out by someone soon myself.

BUT there is a way around it currently. Your phone is setup for multitouch. So use 1 finger to scroll while the other selects the markers. Works everytime for me. The spot you are on to scroll with may freak out while you do it, but it's no big deal. :good:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
The best is pretty subjective...

I personally suggest running an actual Google edition kernel. So that means audism, stock, stock-insecure, brood, or my tweaked and modded audism.

Out of the actual Google Edition kernels mine will perform the best. This isn't a boost of MY kernel because it's not mine... it just defaults to what I run. But it does so at a cost of battery life and increased heat. It's overclocked as much as it can be and it's not undervolted at all (because you don't UV if you are going for all out performance). It's set to default to a MUCH shorter interval with more frequent writes to the system. Basically removing the gigantic plug in the I/O designed to save battery. Then I raised it's minfree, turned off swappiness, lowered cache, and changed the frequency at which old unused apps are released from memory.

For all around use I'd suggest audism13 or brood at stock install setup. For a more user friendly tuning setup I'd suggest ktoonsez.

For those that enjoy kernel tweaking:

I think if you are going to tweak kernel settings you should be ready to boot loop first of all, and secondly you really should research what each potential tweak does to the way the system operates. Just my opinion of course. **As a heads up, most of the tweak scripts posted's authors should do some more research themselves.** The ones that claim all out perf are... wrong. Typically they use hybrid of settings that favor battery in one aspect and perf in others. It took me forever to actually figure out what each thing did. Once you get the understanding for the line item and what it controls simple logic and trial and error handle the rest.

As for data.. My suggestions are all in the second post.
