You can get it to me whenever you would like, family first, always! No rush at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Monk4Life:
Wow! I have not seen you around for a while. If no on realizes, this is an awesome dev from way back when android phones just started and its good to see you around sir.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] htcclay:
The pleasure is all mine. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] psufan5:
Any way to have the camera change its save location to the micro SD card by chance? I cant find a way :\ Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbdan:
I think people are having good luck with the JB+ third party camera app in the play store
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] psufan5:
Very helpful thank you!! awesome app!

MR-V.. Thank you for your perfect rom..

Anyone else getting a weird permissions screen? Once again I was in the middle of work when it happened so i didn't get a screen shot.. but it was a whole ton of services wanting access to my google account. If it pops up again I get a screen of it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] megareyes:
Awesome great ROM good battery and stable
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbdan:
I haven't seen anything like that on any ge rom. Hmm
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
have you fully wiped?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ArgentSun:
I hit the 497 error when updating a few apps from the Play Store (imgur is the latest instance). Running v2.1 of the ROM. Was the only solution wiping data from Store and Services, or was that fixed in 2.2?

I use GrooveIP. Was on an hour long conf-call today. It kept going dead every 4-5 mnts for a few seconds, but then it would come back on. I was doing most of the listening so (as conf calls go) I didn't miss much. But a few times I was speaking and that was not good. Mostly it workd well though.

I was having an issue with Google Play as well. (not exactly that error). I found somewhere to remove my google account and add it back in. Since then its been ok. I was on vers. 2.2 which was giving me issues with MotoX camera saving to SD card, and PocketCast downloading to SD card. I was able to resolve all but the camera issue.

2.2.1 has fixed that too. Thumbs up, my man! :good:

OMG, MrVirginia. You're being so polite lol. I don't even answer my phone when I'm with family (well, i do filter heavily). :cowboy:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pham0100:
Has anyone tried to use Game Killer or GameCIH with 4.3? It seems like a universal root problem with all GE 4.3 versions. All other programs appear to have root access with no problems. I'm not sure why these two have prompts that there is no root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] megareyes:
One issue I'm having and it seems to be with any 4.3 that I try I can got back to 4.2.2 and its fixed. Its GPS lock it takes a while with 3rd party apps like navigon gps this is something I've read of nexus 7 having a issue with 4.3 as well. It eventually locks but it take a good 30sec to a minute to lock. GPS shows when app opens initially then goes away and comes back as mentioned 30-1min later. Not sure if anyone noticed this? Google maps seems fine or just have not fully tested yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DOTC:
Not from your previous 2.2 release.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lacussumok:
Hey guys so I've been using this ROM for a little bit now and I've noticed I've had a problem with my mobile data

I'll be at home have my WiFi on then leave or turn WiFi off and I won't have any mobile data unless I restart i have tried leaving it for about a half hour and it wont connect without a restart its really annoying having to restart everytime

Anybody else having this issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sauron@Mordor:
2.1 --> 2.2.1

So far so good. I haven't seen any of the issues being discussed, though I never use VOIP.

Thanks again!!

One ROM to rule them all....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
sometimes i wish everyone was on the same timezone :D

sounds like a full wipe was needed for v2.2.1. i had a FC with the old xda premium as well so that prompted me to do a full wipe and re-flash 2.2.1. i've had no play store issues thus far.

can you point me to these two? i can't seem to find them on the play store

i haven't tested GPS just yet. i will do this on my lunch break today when i go out.

at this point i would recommend a full wipe for v2.2.1

no, i do not have any issues with picking mobile data back up. during the work week, i leave wifi twice... once in the morning when leaving home and once in the afternoon when leaving work. try a full wipe if you haven't.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] psufan5:
Try the GPS tool kit on the play store. There are some good options in there to test your GPS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shawn:
GameCIH and the other one are cheat engines. They aren't on the play store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lanxinger:
First of all my SD card works great now. Thanks for the latest update.

I noticed 1 more issue:

Installing some apps from the Play store gives me error 497 or package file is invalid. I couldn't reproduce it with specific apps. sometimes a reboot helps, but now even that doesn't seem to fix it.

cheers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
clear data of your play store and play services. please let me know if that fixes it.

edit: full instructions here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44397319&postcount=985

it is because there needs to be a full wipe for v2.2.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pham0100:
Game Killer: http://uploaded.net/file/wd02mn81

GameCIH: http://www.cih.com.tw/download.html

They're used to basically hex edit in-app/game attributes. (so I believe these are allowed per forum rules)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lanxinger:
I can clear the google play store data without a problem but the Google Play Services I cannot force stop. its disabled. the only button that is up is the disable button and when I hit ok it asks me if I want to replace the app with the factory version. should I do that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
you don't want to force stop. you want to clear data

my current version is 3.2.25 (761454-30)

i knew i shouldn't have included the newest Play Store haha
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
the second link is way back from Feb 2012 mate. these need to be updated for 4.3...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lanxinger:
I am aware. The Clear data button is also not enabled. The only button that is enabled is clear cache which I did but to no effect. I checked and I have the same version number as you. I am having this issue with Instagram specifically. Not sure if you are using this app but just to see if you can replicate it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] psufan5:
You could always uninstall it with titanium, then install the apk for the newest store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
okay, now i'm on the same page with you.

i uninstalled updates for Play Services. then i got a notification that it needed to be updated. this then took me to the store to update it. when you do this, it will put you back on the same version. so, try that, what you mentioned before. uninstall updates, then re-install.

edit: oh and yes i use Instagram. got the update for it this morning and had no issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brando56894:
I love the ROM, it's blazing fast. But could you please fix the USB tethering issue that I mentioned before (it grabs an IP address but pages won't load)? It still exists in v2.2.1 and I may have to switch back to another ROM, which I really don't want to do...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i was waiting for you :)

i wasn't sure if it was an old build issue or not. so, with that being said, i'm going to disconnect my internet and try this. will report back

edit: working on it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
[MENTION=3332000]brando56894[/MENTION] okay so i got it to work here. i'm actually using it right now to post this message on my computer. i disconnected my ethernet connection. it took it a second to get internet access in my network settings on PC. i'm on Win7

in network and sharing, it finally popped up for me to choose my type of network "Select a location for the 'Network 2' network" and i chose work since i'm at work. then, on the right where it says "Access type: Internet" and "Connections: Local Area Connection 3", click on Local Area Connection 3. at first IPv4 Connectivity AND IPv6 Connectivity both said No Internet Access. now IPv4 Connectivity says Internet and IPv6 says No Internet Access. so it's working, mate.

i am using the standard T-Mobile US LTE APN and i just went into menu>settings>more...>Tethering & portable hotspot and turned usb tethering on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lanxinger:
so I did manage to clear everything like you said. Turns out that I had to disable the new Android Device Manager under Device Administrators in order to clear data. Google play services then triggered an update after which I tried to update again. I am still getting the package file invalid issue though. hmmm....

edit: just updated another application (Yelp) without an issue. Only seem to be getting the error with Instagram so far. weird.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brando56894:
Thanks for taking a look at it buddy! I'm running Arch Linux so I'm not sure what the problem is then, I'll give it a try on a Windows 7 PC to see if it works on there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TigerBait1127:
Is it possible to add a GPS button to the Quick status bar buttons?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
okay, after you have the newest Google Play Services, clear data for both Google Play Services and Play Store and try again. please let me know

np mate! glad to know i can use usb tethering now if i happen to be out and need it randomly haha :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brando56894:
Still doesn't work for me using either Linux or Windows 7 :( When connected to my Linux PC it grabs an IP but won't connect to anything. I connected it to my W7 PC and it installed the drivers and it shows up as Local Area Connection 3, Samsung Mobile USB Remote Network NDIS Network Device but yet IPv4 and IPv6 have no internet/network access. It says that the media state is enabled, the speed is 425.9 Mbps (which is obviously incorrect) and it has sent 117,xxx bytes and received 32,xxx bytes and both are climbing. It has a valid IP Address of 192.168.42.xx with the default gatway/DHCP/DNS server of 192.168.42.129

I'm using the T-Mobile LTE APN also (fast.t-mobile.com) and enabled it the same way that you did. I have no idea why it works for you and not for me, even though it worked on CM10.2. I haven't changed anything. It has been connected to my W7 PC for 10 minutes now....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yes, i had this issue at first too, of it saying no internet access for both. has it popped up asking you to pick a network type yet?

give it a min. you might have to disable tethering and re-enable
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brando56894:
I had it connected for 17 minutes and it never asked me what type of network it was. I just disabled and enabled tethering about 8 minutes ago and still nothing.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pinan:
Howdy mrvirginia. Is there a newer stock kernel for 4.2.2 than 3.4.0-837695? I've lost track, LOL.

If there is could you please send it to me or post it?

Running Virgin v1.4.2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i figured out why i was able to connect!!!

i tried to do this again and was experiencing the same issue before and as yourself, where it would say "No Internet Access"

okay, so after you enable tethering, do the following

menu>settings>more>wireless and networks>mobile networks>access point names>menu>restore to default

now wait for your phone to reconnect. now you will have internet access :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dr. Fed:
Clean install of latest. So fast and smooth. Now all we need is for T MO to make WiFi calling available as an apk from the Play store :laugh:

:eek: probably will never happen

Anyhow thanks for an awesome rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
newer stock kernel? no sir, there is not a new one. ausdim has updated to past v11 with his modified one, but Google/Samsung has not released an updated stock 4.2.2 Kernel for GPE. 4.2.2 is now considered old and no longer supported by Google/Samsung in regards to GPE software.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brando56894:
Did that and still nothing on my W7 PC :( It has been connected for 2 minutes and still no internet access. I tried switching to epc.t-mobile.com since it's labeled T-Mobile Tethering but it just jumps back to T-Mobile US LTE. I'm going to try it on Yeahmann's Clean version of 4.3 and see if that makes any difference.

Edit:Now things are getting weirder, I just flashed YeahMann's Clean GE 4.3 ROM and before I even signed into my Google account or installed anything I tried to tether and it worked perfectly, didn't take more than a few seconds to get internet access on W7. I mistakenly restored my old 4.3 VirginROM over my current 4.3 VirginROM, instead of deleting it, so it overwrote my system partition. I'm going to reflash your newest 4.3 release and see if it works or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
when you plugged it in, did the driver install show in your notification tray on Win7? it did a driver install for me the very first time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jjacob:
First of all, thank you very much for this ROM. I'm loving it!

I downloaded the latest file and I am still having issues with the SD card mounting. I tried a full wipe, which I think is cache, data, system, davlik. Is that correct?

If I install the 2.1.1 file and then upgrade to 2.2.1, then the SD card works with no issues.

Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brando56894:
Yep it did, it installed 3 drivers. All of which were successful. Not sure if you saw my edit, but USB tethering works on YeahMann's Clean 4.3 GE ROM, the interesting thing is that when I connected my phone to my W7 PC it installed 2 drivers (Samsung_Android and the RNDIS driver I believe). I just did a clean flash of VirginROM v2.2.1 GE 4.3 and USB Tethering still doesn't work. So it's something up with your rom buddy, not my computers :-/ I'll gladly continue to help you test this because I like it a lot more than his clean rom and would love to get it fully working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache

wipe dalvik-cache

that's a full wipe. but you confused me when you said you installed 2.2.1 and then upgraded to 2.2.1... you just install it once...

do the above wipes, then flash one time and let it boot.

how are you trying to mount your sdcard, exactly?

edit: also thank you [MENTION=1160019]jjacob[/MENTION] :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lanxinger:
so I couldn't get it figured out. sideloaded the Instagram update. now I have a wordpress update and get error 497 again. it seems to be randomly happening on certain apps and not on others. I already reset data and deleted and reinstalled the play store from apk again and still to no effect. not sure what the issue is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jjacob:
Sorry about that. I should have been a little more clear.

first time, i did the full wipe, installed 2.2.1 and the sd card wouldn't work.

second time, i did a full wipe, installed 2.1.1 and then wiped the cache and davlik, and then installed 2.2.1 and the sd card worked fine.

After the phone reboots, it tells me that the sd card is ready to remove. I tried removing it and putting it back in, but does the same thing. I tried to mount it from the storage settings, and it does the same again.

Hope that helps.

EDIT: I tried it again, and ended up with the same results. I did the wipe in the order that you listed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fidelio_o:
Anyone have a mirror link to Chainfire Superuser?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i suggest a full wipe like i'm about to suggest to jjacob

try this:

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache

wipe dalvik cache

format /system (under mounts and storage)

now flash. it's very strange how a few of you are having some tiny issues. i myself did a full wipe and have not had any.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
so, i figured this out. he has the stock GPE CSC's loaded in his rom instead of T-Mob ones. this still doesn't explain how i was able to get it to work but give me a min to make a zip for you specifically to test

give me one sec to upload to my server

edit: [MENTION=591364]Fidelio_o[/MENTION] http://apollyon-dev.com/extras/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip

edit: [MENTION=3332000]brando56894[/MENTION] here is the stock GPE CSC's. adding this to OP in case anyone else wants them for whatever reason. please keep in mind that you may drop calls due to no network lock for T-Mobile. this is the reason i used T-Mob CSC's instead. i have also realized that i should update the apn-conf.xml file from our TW ROMs...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] salamandar:
1/2 thru apps restoring, I start getting 920 errors, now no app will install. Have cleared store cache and data and rebooted multiple times. Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44425879&postcount=1058

i am never including a new play store apk ever again. i have learned my lesson lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] salamandar:
Appreciate that, unfortunatly i am a prodigious wiper, and triple format/wipe before any flash to avoid old data in the system partition (been suckerpunched by that before). This is weird.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
have you tried clearing play services data?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
[MENTION=2797757]oquinones[/MENTION]

this is why there is no HD Voice while you are on 3G... i will fix this (among a slew of other things for T-Mob) in the next update. i'm finding more and more stuff that should've been ported from our TW ROMs to the GPE ROM.

<CscFeature_Common_EnableHDVoiceDuring3GConnection>false</CscFeature_Common_EnableHDVoiceDuring3GConnection>
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] salamandar:
Ok 4th reboot and now it's working again. I'm gonna stop polluting your thread, because you do make great ROMs, lets see what happens and ill report back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
not polluting, mate. i am here to help with as many issues as possible if i can. i try not to leave anyone hanging. and just because i don't experience the same issues doesn't mean they're not there ;)

i am going to be rolling back the Play Store version in the next update, though. i will just post the newest apk in the OP for anyone that wants it. not that hard to sideload haha
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] salamandar:
Thank you, I appreciate that, and look forward to the next release, HD voice on 3G, nice!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jjacob:
I tried the above and still the same results. I'm using TWRP so I'm not 100% sure where the format /system is. I did a full wipe the one where it erases everything on the phone. I think that was the equivalent, but not sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
give me one sec and i'll have a new preliminary build for you to try. will have playstore rolled back plus other misc changes that i plan on including
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] d01100100:
Here is an exact description of how TWRP handles its wipes.

http://teamw.in/whattowipe

A factory reset wipes data and cache (which includes dalvik cache). A factory reset will also wipe sd-ext and android_secure if your device has those items. 99% of the time, this is all that you need to wipe and you only need to do it once, not three times as some people would lead you to believe.​

The additional step that is being suggested that you also wipe /system.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
was trying to thank you but i've already used all 8 haha

working on 2.3b... building now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
v2.3b

here is a beta of 2.3. it's beta because i haven't loaded this on my own phone yet. this is for the brave.

i'll try and give some release notes, since i changed a good bit. all of the following changes have not been done to any of the other GPE ROMs, at least not in our section at the time of writing this.

[U]v2.3b[/U]
-rolled back gps settings to previous 4.2.2/4.3 build
-rolled back Play Store (4.1.10?)
-added T-Mob apn list
-enabled HD Voice on 3G
-removed more useless apps
-increased bitrate for CEA (from TW)

now, there are more things i saw that could possibly need changing. for example, there were some weird codec/file format changes that i saw in regards to recording video. and, on TW, if you record a video the audio is recorded to 2 channels and GPE is set up to record as a single channel. i will have to record a video later to confirm this. but as you can see, there were quite a few things that should be changed in GPE to make it a fully successful port. because i've gone poking around, i've found all of these things.

oh, and one more thing. i'm currently in talks with faux again to see if it's possible to remove the keymaster call-in from settings so we have just a completely stock GPE Kernel with no hacks. i saw some files in the ROM itself that has call-ins to the keymaster files so removing them might do the trick. at the same time, it's possible for me to remove this from the actual Settings.apk. all of this is unimportant as of now. just speaking out of mind...

edit: woops, would help to include a link :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brando56894:
Yep that was it! It works perfectly now. You truly are an awesome dev who cares about his users. I've seen you reply to every issue that someone has posted, not many devs care to do that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dtokarz:
I don't know if you are experiencing this issue but when trying to do *#2263# all it does is either bring up the phone dialer again or I get a blank settings page. Would by chance your changes in 2.3b fix this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
awesome!

yeah i think i'm a bit different than the others. i also have a desk job that i work long hours at so i can monitor the forums a bit more probably.

i try to get most issues out of the way but sometimes i'm really working against time.

i haven't forgotten about whomever asked about MMS increase. i haven't gotten the chance to mess with it just yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
maybe. it doesn't hang on mine. currently it shows a spinner, and then backs out to home screen and says "Unable to process request".

i haven't tested the above yet so i'm not sure mate. i may have to do more compares to 4.2.2 to fix that. it is possible this was fixed, though. i'll have to find out where these codes are used, tbh
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dtokarz:
Ok. I'll wait patiently. ;)
