I have taken several videos, I have it set at 720p though to save a little on file size.

I haven't noticed slower frame rate. I didn't run it through anything that actually checks the FPS for me, but visually I don't notice any difference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ktetreault14:
Well thus is new:P I did it by clicking on the thing in the bottom right hand corner and it made "Planet View"

If I actually did help, how bout a Thanks:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lamwong3:
I love your rom. It smooth and fast! I was wondering if you can add ram status and the kill all apps on the previous app screen with all the apps open.sorry I forgot what the screen was call. Again thank you for making such an awesome rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
newer? what are you referring to?

this is the latest firmware for GPE

the Nexus 4/7, however, are on newer branches and thus some of the AOSP ROMs have pulled those merges. actually, the only AOSP one that has done this thus far that i'm aware of is SlimBean. and i've started building that for myself personally.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DOTC:
I maybe seeing different Baseband's but I havent dug into too much, it just seemed there were different variants of GPE out there. Some maybe older I guess. I've been off the forums for awhile and havent had time to keep up with whats going on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
there was one 4.2.2

and 3 different 4.3 builds - the first was an early leak with a bad kernel, the second was another leak that was stable, and the current is official
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Reignzone:
It would be a nice addition if you were able to "theme" this build with more "blacked out" details. For example: Doing away with all of the gradients, and then implementing purely black backgrounds. That would be seriously excellent!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
that's a very easy mod to do...

maybe i'll drop that with the next update

edit: i'm going to go ahead and make this mod now because the xml file that controls it is accessible via the framework so. will update shortly if it is indeed the correct file
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazaro17:
Are you getting any gallery FC while editing tiny planet? Happening to me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Reignzone:
Yeah, that would be incredible!

As "blacked out" as you can make the UI, in general - is preferable. Of course... :laugh:

And if any of the GApps are capable of being themed black, as well... that would be pretty sweet!

Granted, because this is 4.3, I imagine that might not be feasible just yet.

Anyway, thanks again for the contribution.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
uhhh well here's the black background. you would have to be specific if i were to keep messing with this. but this changes all gradient backgrounds so they're black. i've tested and am using it right now so i know it works. can now be found in OP under add-ons. enjoy

oh ps, i'll have to update this zip soon because the next update has changes to framework.

http://apollyon-dev.com/extras/No_gradient_back_MH1v2.3.zip
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Reignzone:
So, presumably you're about to update this ROM, anyway?

And you mentioned new framework, so I can't help but wonder if there has been a more recent build posted, from the Nexus ports, or perhaps another GPE update?

But for now, that flashable .zip should cleanup any gradient backgrounds, correct?

Thanks again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yeah, it's going to get a small update soon. notes are in changelog post.

new framework as in i just brought back lock targets to lay the ground work for more later.

there are no more recent builds in regards to GPE firmware. SlimBean is the most up to date AOSP build. it's basically a port from Nexus firmware. it's not official nor supported by Google so there are some problems here and there. it's only beta status as of now.

yes, the zip will make the gradient backgrounds all black. example: Settings, Root Explorer, etc...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EvoYas:
If i use the black themed mod u jus posted, if i dont like it would i have to re flash the rom to ge rid of it? Im on ur 4.3 build
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
Lately I have been having no internet on T-Mobile and then sometimes it works with the latest updat , it does i have 3ghspa+ but doesn't work at times.I dirty flashed from last update. any idea what's going on? Is anyone else experienceing this issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yep.

but why would you not like it? it does just as is described, gets rid of gradient backgrounds throughout the entire ROM. so, if you want a black background instead, then flash.

*note: the smear ink effect that so many dislike becomes more apparent. this is because it was never removed and is due to our screen technology. i've tried to explain this before and why it isn't possible to get rid of it.

i have never had any signal issues that persisted on any of my builds. every now and then i'll drop to edge, then back to H, then finally LTE, but this is because T-Mobile's network is shoddy at best unless you're right under a cell tower.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] OxyClean:
Love your responsiveness on this rom, just installed the black background for the system. Also just killed my battery after a lot of heavy GPS use. :thumbup: Love the rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EvoYas:
Im gonna go ahead n try the black theme n see how i like it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
You could get the blackout app from the play store. It let's you download blacked out apps.

Can you provide the stock 4.3 kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Reignzone:
It would be great if the dialer was also, blacked out.

I went ahead and installed the Team BlackOut app, and squared away some of my personal apps.

But yeah, the dialer is the only app that still has that gradient background.

Thanks for the flashable .zip earlier, it worked flawlessly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yeah i'll update the GPE Kernel thread here shortly

yes, the dialer is independent and actually uses a completely different gradient.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:

Thanks for all your hard work mate.

do i need to update ?

[MENTION=2651267]mrvirginia[/MENTION]

i am already on the latest version of play store

don't use Google+

and removed keep (from the file explorer )

do you think i still need to update to the new build ( on version 2.3 right now ) ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
not unless you want the new lock targets. i'm sure some would rather have GNow easily accessible from the lockscreen. and i'm sure some would prefer a lock swipe for camera access instead of fiddling with swiping with the lock screen cam widget

edit: lol of course G+ gets another update today
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Lock screen targets are good enough reason for me to flash the new version ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Docavelli:
Are the lock screen targets customizable?

XDA Mobile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
no, they are currently not. this update was to lay the groundwork for more. then maybe customizable down the road

Okay I thought I saw wifi discussed earlier but I can't seem to find the conversation. Anyways I keep getting failed to authenticate trying to connect to wifi. I flashed using cwm. full wipe. Other than that I live the rom.

I flashed from stock btw if that makes any difference. First 4.3 Rom I've flashed. Wondering if it's a 4.3 issue or ge issue since I've never encountered that before

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Meltdown07:
Major thanks to the developer for this ROM. I've been using it for going on two months now and love it, its been rock solid for me! Previously I was bouncing around a number of TW and GPe ROMS trying to find one without "issues". This one is it!

I am curious, however, if others have experienced an issue I am having. When I am on a phone call the volume buttons dont work to increase/decrease the volume if the screen is off (also while speakerphone is not on). If I pull the phone away from my face so that the screen turns on the volume keys work to adjust the speaker. Is anyone else having this issue?

Thanks again to the dev for a FANTASTIC ROM, please have a couple beers on me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kodiakice:
Can the Samsung touchwiz keyboard (the one that has the extra row of numbers) be pulled from a touchwiz ROM and used on a GE ROM? More Specifically, will it work on this ROM? I have used this and a couple of other GE ROMS but end up going back because of being dependent of that keyboard layout. Would also like to know about the dialer from TW being interchangeable with GE dialer (not a deal breaker like the KB though). Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. Great ROM dev.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pinan:
I don't know the answer to your question, but please don't quote an entire post. There is no need to. Simply ask your question.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
can you please modify your previous post so as not to include the entire OP?

no you can't use the TW keyboard nor the dialer. i would suggest sticking with a TW ROM if those are things you need. this is not TW ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
this isn't an issue... that's how it's supposed to work as far as i'm aware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Meltdown07:

I understand battery drain is subjective and have noticed over the years on these forums any question about battery drain turns into a flame war so I'll tread gently. I upgraded to 4.3 recently after running 4.2.2 for weeks and notice what appears to be quicker battery drain? I actually downgraded to 4.2.2 after a little over a week for this reason as well as a few apps that weren't compatable yet. I have identical settings between the two and equal uses... Thoughts? I have noticed on the battery use graph that I'm showing wifi graphing constantly even if I have it off?

Also, battery battery stats shows wifi running 100 percent?

And as always... Love the rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] akafaze:
I just got my S4 and I hated TouchWiz, it lagged and wasn't good on battery life. Coming from AOSP 4.2.2 on the G2, this was everything I had but better. Unlimited LTE and the speed of a quad core processor, along with the S4 unique featues found in Stock, makes this the best $500 I spent for a new phone. This rom has made the upgrade to a new phone seamlessly.

I wasn't able to find any themes available for this rom or any options to customize the task bar. I'd like the battery bar and the clock font color to be white. Awesome rom nonetheless, continue the great work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbdan:
I haven't seen anyone dabble in some serious theming on any ge 4.3 yet, but I'm with you I like to tinker a lot with aesthetics of my installs. You can always try something like xposed with nottach. Of course make a backup prior. Then let the masses know how it turns out.

And I agree with you this is all I've been running on my personal s4 as of late

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
the absolute easiest way to figure out if it's a ROM issue is to kill data connectivity including WiFi for a night while you sleep. notate the battery and check it when you wake up.

I've tried a few 4.3 AOSP ROMs now and none are quite at the stability and battery life performance of mine in particular. they're close but not quite there yet.

a rogue app/process is killing your phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] byron1985:
The WiFi thing is a new 4.3 feature if you turn WiFi on and hit the menu button and chose advanced there is an option that says something like use WiFi to locate even when WiFi is off unclick it and you will be good to go.

I just wanted to chime in to say your ROM has been working great for me. I just got back from a 60 mile, 7 day backpacking trip around some mountains here in Oregon (Three Sisters). I used a StrongVolt 10w solar charger to keep my GS4 charged and used BackCountry Navigator to do a GPS trace of my trip. I had one GPS issue where the app force closed.

All in all then ROM has been super stable, and working great. Thanks for your hard work.

So Im having a very odd issue with this ROM, I used Virgin on my GS4 for the past month or so, however I ended up having to warranty that one out (dead pixel) and get a new one. So i brought the new one home last night, and immediately threw a new recovery on and loaded the newest 4.3 version of Virgin. Everything seems to be working OK EXCEPT that all incoming SMS' are delayed by as much as 2 hours. Any idea why that might be? Do i need newer or different radios?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
please post a screen shot of your "about phone" and also the top of the "status" section.

this is true. ATT is also a GSM carrier. i previously had issues receiving texts at all on a device i'd activated on their network... turned out it was something they still needed to take care of. as to what, i don't remember.

do you have another phone lying around that you could test?

have you tried re-flashing due to possible bad flash/download?
