Cool, I'll give it a shot. Did you reboot before installing the kernel or just flash it right after the ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eloquence:
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk

For reasons unknown to me, I am having problems with my calendar sync. It says -- Calendar Sync has stopped. Any way you could post that APK from the stock VZW rom?

Thanks in advance! :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Ive done it both ways

sent from my GE gs4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
That's not the solution. Google calendar has it's own sync info built in. If you want to try it. Uninstall your calendar and reinstall it from market.

If found anytime my calendar didn't sync that a reboot or letting it sit made it sync. Similar to hangouts not connecting and g+ not being able to connect to server. In fact these things only ever happen to me after a clean install. After it all settles and I've rebooted everything normally works for me.

Is that the AOSP version you are running?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawnten:
tw chronic kernel works very nice on this rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
TW kernel.

I just switched it up to faux. I have his kernel app from my n7. Running well also.

I think 7/7 KT runs well too. :shrug:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nitroglycerine33:
For some reason Faux breaks MTP on ge builds. Most likely because it is built for older Verizon firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Thanks for the heads up. Will likely switch back to KT or chronic.

What kernel is this on? I'm on 4.5 with kt and only get to around 12k (which is still awesome), just curious
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkbane:
The chronic kernel does indeed work well with 4.7.

Only "issue" I've noticed is menu and back buttons seem to not be that responsive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
That was with KT 7/7 with the 7/15 ktweaker app. I did right at 14000 with chronic shortly there after. I'd imagine I'd get it out of faux also but I don't want to mess with the mtp problems.

Oh and it was overclocked to 1998

Flashed 4.7.5 with Chronic Kernel RC2 and after a few stalled reboots everything seems to be in order. I'm scared to try a reboot... I think it might have been the bad 4.6.1 download that is still screwing with my stuff. I'd rather not have to ODIN again, but if an ODIN must be done, an ODIN must be done.

On a side note, it is glorious to see the signal bars working. And flashing the CM 10.1 mms.apk has given me exactly what I wanted from all GE builds. Dubbsy is it possible to spoof to Verizon Wireless garbage to completely blank within the ROM ourselves or is that something you would have to do? I know it isn't a 'real' fix, but if there is a choice between having VZW or blank, I'd take blank. Thanks again for your help and work on this ROM, really well done.

edit: well reboot problem still persists so I'm going to officially blame it on a bad download and ODIN to stock and start over again later and just flash 4.7.5 with the Chronic RC2. Yay for troubleshooting
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] roscoe08:
Not sure I've been on my phone constantly today and this ROM is the smoothest ROM if ever used. Can't wait for the signal bars and the Verizon stuff to be added. Maybe you have a rogue app that's causing you battery to drain so fast with screen on...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
I love this ROM, just wish it was a little more customizable. I also can't get my exchange work email to work on here, works fine on non stock Android ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bd1212:
I'll never understand it either lol. I can barely manage to get 4 hours of screen on before mine dies, let alone only lose 30% battery like in that users screenshot. I'd kill for battery life like that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nickhimself:
Thank you! At least I know I'm not the only one whose Galaxy 4 likes hanging out, but hates it when you play with it. It'll idle all day long and lose like 2% battery but as soon as I start browsing the web or whatever else, it's like "TIME TO DIE SORRY I WAS UP FOR SO LONG GOODBYE SEE YOU TOMORROW"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] craigbailey1986:
I dont think cwm allows you to flash root or su app like twrp does... before you reboot out of twrp it asks you if you want root.. cwm doesnt.. which is why it was originally recommended to use twrp
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] roscoe08:
That's weird I got mine to work did you try filing it out in manual setup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
That's why i always flash su Every time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bd1212:
Yep that's exactly why some users aren't able to get root or SuperSU installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] craigbailey1986:
Ok there are a few roms in the op.. which are you guys using... I was running v2 for a few hours until I lost lte and went back to stock...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
I did manual and auto and i get the error that I'm not authorized to use the server. Can't use the rom until it's working. Not sure if it's our exchange security or the ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bd1212:
I'm using 4.0.1 and it's running great.

Just flashed this and tried it for an hour and I just don't like it very much, how can I remove it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
There are no Google Edition phones currently out in the US, correct? When the S4 Google Edition is actually in someones hands will that be of any help? I know it's only going to be on AT&T and T-mobile so plenty of changes would still have to be made but it sounds like the system dump this rom was made from was less than great. Just wondering if it will be much easier and less problematic when the phone is actually out. I have not even rooted my phone yet but something like this is very tempting to me. I may be in the minority but I would prefer the rom be as close to the way google/samsung made it as possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bd1212:
Exactly. If I can get 4.5 hours of screen on time, that's amazing to me. 3 hours of screen on time and only losing 30% is CRAZY.

Don't Odin unless you have to... No reason to go through the process if it's not needed.

And yeah. Make an empty file named eri.xml and put it in /data. Seemed to get rid of it all together for me. Or DL xposed and find the mod that'll do it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loldi:
Okay great thanks I'll do that.

Yeah I really don't want to have to, but I can't chance that my phone shuts off/needs to be rebooted for whatever reason, and I end up having to format data just to get it to boot again. I'm just going to get it over with and start by flashing 4.7.5 and hopefully this problem will be solved.

edit: for anyone else interested in the CM apps (mainly MMS.apk which gives Emoji support/popup/and custom vibration settings) here is the link to the post with the attachment http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43816668&postcount=1359 flash ing recovery and enjoy.

edit edit: SO after ODIN back to stock again and reflashing 1.) 4.7.5 2.) Chronic Kernel RC2 3.) Optical Reader app 4.) 4.2 modified keyboard and 5.) CM10.1apps and booting up, the phone STILL hangs on the SGS4 screen after an initial reboot. A battery pull and restart boots the phone. Not sure what is going on, but I'm tired of reflashing. Hot booting seems to work just fine so I'll stick to that for now.

edit edit edit: just got the SOD running 4.7.5 and Chronic RC2 and the phone rebooted on its own...............thankfully it rebooted just fine. Maybe that was just the final demon leaving the phones body........heres hoping

and another reboot about 3 minutes after that one. I think I'm going to stick with 4.6.1 for now idk why my phone hates the new builds so much.

I believe it is the same as this, with working signal bars.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loldi:
I'm on 4.7.5 build with Chronic Kernel RC2. I wouldn't put too much stock into my experience as my phone seems to be hating the newer builds. I've also flashed the modified 4.2 keyboard, the Optical Reader app, and the CM10.1 apps. Not that I think those are causing it, since I never had any problems before, but just reporting as much info as possible.

Was just able to get through a 3 hour clinical patient session with no problems, so I'm happy for now. That was my biggest concern as I use my phone for work a lot.

How's the 4.2 build coming along?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Hasn't made any progress since 4.7.5 because the little bro in laws are here. one 16yr old with a gf and in general listens. One 13yr old that talks in one low tone and mumbles. No emotion, and looks at you like you are stupid when yousk him to so something.

Tonight I had to gather all the trash from the 300 in food that's disappeared since the 2 boys showed up 4 days ago. It's driving me crazy. The younger one will not stop eating. Every five minutes he's gotta eat. I wouldn't care as much if the same kid would at least throw his garbage away(like he's been asked nicely) or rinse his dishes (like he's been asked nicely) or not east like a wild animal and keep the food either in his stomach or on his plate. I found ramen noodles smashed into the carpet...

Then I get yelled at for not respecting the kid. But...He doesn't listen, he doesn't take care of himself, he's rude, and he's making a huge mess with no regard. I gave him the benefit of the doubt this time too. Hoped he had changed in a year but it's worse.

I understand why it is this way. The older was forced to do chores around the farm and the younger was not. The younger one being odd is because they are homeschooled. They are both going to regular school next year. The older one already has been to normal school and is petty normal. I'm hoping regular school will whip the younger one into a normal human being status.

:P rant over I suppose. Hope everyone enjoyed this episode of days of dubbs life Lol

Haven't been able to do work on it at work because I'm backed up because I had to take 2 days off for taking the in laws to Hershey park. I hope I can get the last few things out tomorrow so I can get back on both ge and blu. I have 5 logcats I have to look at for various people too. Oh and I believe I'm going to start assisting in technical end of a ROM another guy is working on for vzw now too. Busy busy :good: I like keeping my head thinking.

Known Issues

I'm looking for a fast stable AOSP-like rom to use. What are the known issues with this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] what be up:
Its right in the op my dude (these bugs are for the normal version, but the beta zip seems to fix these issues, at least for me)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
"Sometimes" when you take a picture, send a text, or make a phone call it might send information about what you are doing to the NSA. :good:

Besides that, the biggest bugs are the carrier name, network settings, and if you don't read the first post before installing the ROM, your phone might explode.

sent from my GE gs4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Noremacam:
Argh you got me. OK to be fair, there were multiple builds on the OP, so what applied to what I was unsure of. and the non-descript for 4.7.5 "Has issues but it's running well for me."

Just trying to make sure I flash the right thing, whatever makes the best sense at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
4.7.5 is a quick build I did where the signal bars were fixed. The bugs besides that one are universal to all posted.

Only difference is that 4.7.5 has working bars :good:

It runs really well. I could daily it easy. I should be able to get builds out next week. I think I pushed through most of my real work and can get back into it early. Maybe this weekend but I'm not sure with the in laws.

If I can't actually get builds done this weekend I'll be debugging issues with this, blu, and ChameleonOS.

I get GPS lock immediately. That doesn't help you at all. But I also can't fix something that I can't recreate.

sent from my GE gs4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] empeee:
Absolutely understood. That's why I was hoping more people were seeing it to help recreate or fix the problem. Could be something about my hardware. I switched from CM to this because location services was consuming all of my battery... GPS worked, just killed the battery...

Thanks for your work, btw. Barring GPS issue, its running great for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I wouldn't read into it that far. Across all ROMs I've read various reports that GPS was buggy. I'm thinking that the location is somehow written to EFS or another partition that isn't wiped during ROM install. Then when you flash to something else it stays and screws stuff up.

The only reason I think of that is because I've seen fixes that shouldn't fix anything. Like flashing a stock based ROM, getting GPS lock, and then flashing back to whatever you want. All logic would say that won't do anything at all. But there are a buttload of people saying it works.

I just don't see how that would work, or why location would be written like that in the first place. It makes no sense at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] empeee:
Haha, well I'm not above doing something and not understanding why it works... perhaps I'll give that a shot...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] empeee:
For others that might be reading along...

- Flashed your stock-based BluKuban, got GPS lock instantly in Google Maps

- Restored a backup of my 4.7 install, same old no GPS problem

Perhaps it didn't work because I didn't do a clean 4.7 install after getting lock, but I'm not ready to re-setup my phone again this week so I'll have to wait to try that. Or perhaps it is placebo BS as macravin says...

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------

I spoke too soon! Not an instant lock by any means, but leaving it by the window for 2-3 minutes finally started seeing satellites with GPS Test. Hooray for placebos.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] macravin:
My guess -- and this is based on absolutely nothing -- is that theres something different about the gps firmware in this phone that allows for the VZW location services. This would explain why everything except for stock Verizon approved roms have weird GPS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I thought it could be firmware related also. But again, not something I can easily test or fix.

Not trying to start a flame war, not my thing....but I can attest to it working on a few devices for me, including this one. I have no clue why it worked, but on older devices and AOSP builds (the Thunderbolt and Rezound for me), it was the same deal with Sense, get a lock, than flash the ROM. Although I will add that if going from one AOSP build to another, it still worked, I made a point of trying that a few times. Probably doesn't shed much light on the subject, just wanted to add to it. And if I haven't said it before, thanks for your work in bringing this ROM to the masses.
