My Phone: AT&T GS4 l337 32GB + 64GB SD card.

ROM: GE 1.31 ROM

I've been looking for a way to get the virtual software buttons working without success. I've tried the "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" by editing the build.prop on this and the stock touchwiz, but always ended up with a GUI stop error/freeze. has anyone figured out if this is even possible given its supposed to be a GE based rom? I was hoping that i could get a nexus like navigation experience, or at least try it out. My target was to find a stable stock experience, whilst having the option to turn the software navigation keys on/off and turning the hardware keys on/off at will.

Been running this ROM for a couple days and have to say its great. Battery life has been equivalent to the stock touchwiz for me, if not better. Tried the CM 10.1 nightlies - horrible battery life. Will try it again once its a stable RC release I suppose, whenever that is.

thnks for any help/advice!

You can not change the toggles just yet, it is coming though, keep watching the themes and apps areas in ALL S4 forums, that is where you will find them.

Thank you

One issue I am having with these Google Edition ROMs, whether it be 4.2.2 or 4.3, is that my signal just suddenly disappears sometimes and then comes back maybe in a minute.

I've noticed it happening when I am using the phone. Other times after the phone is just sitting there and I'll get the sound that I just got a voicemail, and the phone didn't even ring. So I guess it randomly is losing signal and re-acquiring it again while just sitting idle.

I was using the MDL baseband originally, but updating to the MF3 didn't make any difference.

I've tried different Kernels also. With 4.2.2 I was using Ausdim's Kernels, and with this 4.3 I am using the stock Kernel it comes with.

So I dunno what else to check. Anyone have any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
Try a different kernel, also check your apn settings and make sure they are for your device...

Just an update, my phone running 4.3 GE has been pretty good this far. My first charge was super slow but after doing a bit of research, it appears thats normal for the stock ROM. My only complaint is the battery drain which brings me to my questions...in order to update to the latest stock 4.3 that was released on July 11th, is there anything I need to do to my phone before I reflash it? I've tried to boot my phone into recovery mode but that doesn't work as I don't have a custom recovery. Can I install a custom recovery like I did on 4.2.2 when I preparing to update to 4.3 the first time? If nothing else, I'll just reflash back to 4.2.2 and start fresh.

S4 GPE

Hi All,

Sorry if this is a really stupid question.

I bought a Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition like 2-3 weeks ago and have been using it ever since. I switched from iPhone to Android and bought the GPE based on many recommendations that the stock OS is better.

But for some reason, I want to experience the features that come on the TouchWiz as well. After a lot of googling and looking around on the forums, I can't seem to find the solution.

Is there anyway to install the TouchWiz interface on my s4 and get all the features that come with the s4 (like Air Gestures, Smart Pause etc) ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
Not at the moment, but I am sure a few devs are working on implementing them sometime shortly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
You are rooted correct? if so, just flash a recovery of your choice.

Not that I'm really familiar with the behind the scenes stuff, but why shouldn't he be able to flash a TW ROM?

Phone is identical right, is the kernel somehow different?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
He is on ATT GE, I do not think that one has a recovery yet, I am probably wrong.

If he has a recovery loaded, of course he can run a TW rom, and flash the kernel for his device.

We're talking about dhruv69's GE phone right?

[MENTION=5361907]dhruv69[/MENTION], I would head over to the international forums and see if anybody has flashed TWRP/CWM to your phone as it should be nearly identical to theirs (compared to our locked AT&T bootloader).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sunkhareb:
I just flashed Aodhan's GE v1.3 and afterwards flashed loki-doki, now that it starts up and works I notice that my phone is unrooted now.

I originally rooted it using motochopper and even after I try doing that again, it keeps failing to root. Any idea on why this might be happening or if this has happened to anyone else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dhruv69:
If it helps my model number is GT-I9505G. Which according to GSM Arena is the same as the SGH-i337(ATT) and GT I9505.

Also there was a thread in one of the forums about how to restore your s4 to stock firmware(For i9500 and i9505). Is that applicable to this situation ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
I am going to say yes to the i9505, but not the i9500, if someone has the guts to flash a i9500 to see, well try it.

I would like to know if it works, I had a friend flash i9500 on our att US i337 and it hard bricked. Oh well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dhruv69:

I had the same problem the first time I flashed his rom (v1.1 I believe). From what I'vebeen reading on the other GE rom threads this happens sometimes with the majority of the GE Roms. I know that there is a zip file included in the posts for a few of them that is supposed to fix the issue, but personally I solved the problem by just rilunning motochopper again. Took all of 2 minutes and hasn't happened since in flashing about 5 different Roms (as well as reverting back to Aodhans ROM in between each one. The rest have some nice features, but his just seems to cause me the least amount of headache and is customizable enough using nottach)

I was on CM10.1 with data encryption.

I formatted/wiped data through TWRP 2.6.0.0

Installed [ROM] ♦♦♦ Android 4.3 ♦♦♦ [JWR66V][Google Edition][Odex][UNTOUCHED][7/18/13]

Upon booting I am prompted for an encyrption password (my old one does not work)

However if I do nothing and reboot into recovery, and install the latest CM nightly it boots without asking for a password.

I even have the option to encrypt the phone again.

I also followed the wipe procedure for TWRP from the previously mentioned thread, same result with the Google Edition rom I mentioned.

I'm having an issue running kangbean 4.2.2. I posted the issue in the thread and it's unresolved.

I can no longer get the Google Now "TV Card" to show up. I understand the Google Now card shows up in the US only, and my build prop shows my region as US. I have a Nexus 7 & Galaxy s3 running AOKP variants and both can recognize my Samsung TV and show the card.

On previous TW ROM's, even ones on International bases showed the card, but I cannot get this ROM to.

Any help would be appreciated. I reflashed the ROM to no avail.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sunkhareb:
They should make a mod on the Google Edition ROM that allows the volume rocker buttons to control all volumes, kinda like how the touchwiz function is. Pressing up or down regularly would increase/decrease ringtone volume but there should be a settings button that allows for quick adjustment of other volumes. I know there's widgets and other things that you can use but having the rocker buttons do it would be so much more convenient..

But I'm reading now that KT Kernel and KANGABEAN are working extremely well together so I thought maybe I should give KT a try.. My question though is, how do I go about switching to the KT kernel?

Display Color Calibration

I read that the screen color profiles (e.g. Standard, Dynamic, Movie) aren't in the official GPE S4. Is the screen color calibration in the GPE ROMs just set to the equivalent of the standard profile? I'm currently using the movie profile on my GS4, so I'd like to stay with it if possible. Are there any GPE ROMs with different screen calibration options?

Right now I'm on MF3 with my ATT I337, so I can't flash ROMs :( Hopefully that will change soon.
