I was really tired, and I think I had messed up the data option and the phone (dialler) wouldn't connect because it lost data. Then I tried GPS and it couldn't download the AGPS data thing, so didn't know where the satellites should be.... I think, anyway I restored backup and went to sleep lol.

Would you consider a flashable zip for the TW apps in the OP? I'd like the camera, calandar and calculator, but I can't figure out what apks I need. I'm going to dig into it, but if its easy for you that would be sweet.

Or if anyone can just put the names of the apks needed I can try to make the zip for everyone. Thanks.

Hey guys, so I've been trying to help out today with this and was looking into fixing the roaming indicator off issue. I modified the strings.xml file in the framework-res.apk, it decompiled fine, and recompiled with no problem. However, it's causing a constant bootloop. I have a logcat attached of what's happening during the boot, had to zip it since the .txt file exceeds the limit. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Super pumped for OctOS, as I refuse to run yet another CM-based rom when there's a chance of getting an actual AOSP build on a device. So I'm really excited for this.

Silly little question, but if it will be built from GPe source, what are the chances the TW camera could be made to work again? Feel free to laugh at me for something so trivial, just something I'm wondering.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spc_hicks09:
Not sure if this has been asked about but I don't have time to go through all the pages.

Certain apps and services will not connect when on mobile data. Hangouts, logging in to my Google Account, stuff like that. Chrome signed in over 4G and every other app seems to work. Just seems like signing into my Google Account and opening Hangouts will only work when connected to Wifi.

I'm on ME7 using Safestrap if that helps.

EDIT:

Might have been the way I flashed it through Aroma. I'll try a different way tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cjkacz:
Not silly and definately something I'm hoping for. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
For those not in the know... Google released "the source" for GPE. But that source was not complete source. It was a handful of patches that could be added to pure AOSP. And yes one of the patch sets was for the Samsung camera.

That's not to guarantee that it'll work. But it's more promising than any other AOSP type ROM. Won't know that until we get further in the project.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nitroglycerine33:
If it is anything like the TW source in the past they release, it will not build anything that even boots. The proprietary items are never in the source.

The camera HAL is not going to be in there as they closed sourced it into the actual camera app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
To piggy back this... None of the patches work out of the box without fixes before compile. And the source assumes you have fully working aosp source(which isn't actually possible currently)

We have gotten most of the stuff we've tried to implement to build correctly though. But not without headaches. The most frustrating part is when you fix one error you've got to go through everything again just to find the next error that's related to the same patch. :-|

But for all those reasons... That's why camera is up in the air. If we get it I'll be sure to share the commit with everyone who is building aosp. But it's not top priority right now.

I'll see if I can get any working decompile of the camera. My luck with apktool lately hasn't been the best but no harm in trying.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
Thanks for the info Dubbsy, bout to give your latest AOSP another whirl. Has Samsung made the device specific files available for the GS4 on 4.3 yet? I know they did this with 4.1.2 AOSP for the S3 for those who asked, but not anything newer on that device yet, likely since the d2 has yet to get 4.2.

Worth a shot, since getting the files from Samsung negates the need to use any CAF or CM commits, allowing it to be as close to "pure" AOSP as possible, with everything working great.

Just thinking out loud. :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:

The home button lag is a common issue.

Create a Mirror?

Actually it didn't occur to me... do you mind if I put up a mirror? I have verified the MD5 of my copy of the file matches your quoted MD5, and prior to posting for others I would download the file multiple times and verify the downloaded MD5 to ensure it uploaded correctly.

I am curious, why would it matter if someone makes a mirror? Unless you are counting number of downloads, I would think that it would be a great benefit... ya know, allows people to actually download the file.... as I quoted a few days ago, it took nearly 10 download attempts till the copy.com link let me get the zip file in its entirety.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
It is partially counting downloads. Download counts are one of the few true ways to know how many people run a ROM. So a mirror will skew the results. Also it is easy for someone to steal a link and claim ownership. Not saying that is what you are doing but it is good form to ask permission first. You can do as you like privately but ask before posting a mirror publicly.

All people have to do is ask me... I've got an account on every major Dev hosting site. I was busy all weekend on oct and family and didn't notice the complaint about copy. And upload to AFH takes awhile... I suppose I could upload to Goo but I plan to fill that guy up with Oct shortly.

It's primarily about revision control and multiple locations of the file that aren't controlled. Count is a secondary. But honestly I haven't been keeping an eye on that with this project.

I'm not entirely sure why people are having issues with copy either. I downloaded it twice today. Once on aosp browser and once in Linux mint on chrome. md5 matched both times. I went to copy because it has no traffic limit.

Just wondering if someone else ran into same issue:

I've been running another ROM for a couple of weeks. I restored my nandroid backup and it went psycho for about 10 seconds getting all my game updates, NFL mobile updates, and ESPN notifications and then suddenly lost all internet. I've tried phone info, network settings, etc and cannot get data back.

So I tried a clean install of 6.0 with a full wipe and still no dice. Anyone have a tip???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tsukasa Buddha:
I lost LTE somewhere along the way. After trying the various Phone Info changes in the second post I ended up reflashing stock, then 6.0. Now things are great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SpookySager:
I would really like to flash this ROM again, but I'm a little worried about my SIM going bad. I've been watching this thread for a couple of days to see if anyone else had a SIM go bad like I did. It seems that most everyone is not having the same issue I had. Most people still getting 4G on this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
The loss of 4G occurs when you mess with any data settings including setting a data limit. If using safestrap this will affect the stock ROM too. I was unable to revert it manually and had to just reflash with PC Odin.

If your worried about efs issues, a separate thing, use k-tool and backup your efs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SpookySager:
So, would enabling/disabling Airplane Mode be considered "messing with data"?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PetrichorXFi:
Im on ME7 with SS b8. I imstalled GE v6.0 ROM. 4G worked at first boot, WiFi did NOT. after messing with data settings it now only does 3g.

Howerver, a reboot and starting stock touchwiz, my 4G and wofo once again work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Wifi didnt work because you didnt flash the ME7 Kernel Modules, as required. You need to flash that zip right after flashing the ROM.

You lost 4g because you messed with Network settings.

To resolve the issue you should do a clean flash, then flash the kernel modules, and never touch any mobile network settings of any sort.

---------- Post added at 05:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 AM ----------

I have no idea. You would have to experiment with that and let us know your results...

Maybe in a future version [MENTION=5168775]Dubbsy[/MENTION] can just disable access to the data menus, including data limit...

I dont know how difficult that is to do, I have never tried to do it in any of the ROMs I build
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SpookySager:
I posted this several posts back:

-----------------------------------------------

My 4G stopped working completely for this ROM and for my stock ROM. It would only work for about 15 seconds after a reboot and then revert to 3G forever (even after an Odin back to stock). I had to get a new SIM card from Verizon to fix the problem.

And this is my post from the SafeStrap WIP thread:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I posted some time earlier that I was running GPE on a 3Gb ROM slot without issues, however I recently had an issue (may not be related to the size of the slot).

Everything seemed to run fine until I enabled airplane mode. Upon disabling it, my 4G never came back. I couldn't even get it back on stock (it would stay on 3G). Tried several reboots, battery pulls, and even Odin'd back to stock...still only 3G. 4G would show for maybe 15 seconds after each reboot, but it always reverted to 3G. As a final resort, I got Verizon to give me a new SIM card...problem solved!

So, I'm still not sure what fried my SIM card...hopefully these ROMs can't do that. Maybe someone with a lot more experience can chime in and let me know if its possible for a ROM to do this, or did my card just go bad.

If that is the problem, is there a way to ensure that it doesn't happen again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PetrichorXFi:
I thought the Kernel was locked 9n ME7 builds. If this is true then when I inatall GE Aroma 6.0 via SS I do NOT install the MDK kernel.

So what does HashCodes patch do? As it is named kernel modules I would guess it is... well just that, kernel modules.

Buuut I thought one of our limitations on ME7 is the inability to change modules as doing so requires either a change to or an entireally different kernel.

Please correct me

FYI I did install HashCodes patcj immediately after installing GE rom... both via SS
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
Once you're on ME7, you're stuck with the ME7 zImage, and SS apparently isn't capable of changing that yet. ME7 zImage doesn't like loadable modules for other kernels, like MDK, and problems can arise. My understanding is that Hashcode's patch is just a set of ME7 modules to replace any modules that may have been changed as a result of a rom flash. Most roms contain a kernel, and it will not be an ME7 kernel. But some of the modules may flash over, which again, won't work properly with ME7. Hashcode likely did this so devs wouldn't have to remove the kernel and/or loadable modules from their roms for ME7 users to be able to run them properly.

This is NOT to say that it will allow all roms to work, but merely restores the proper ME7 modules so those that will run on a stock ME7 kernel can do so without issues stemming from different modules.

Just to clarify, I'm on MDK and Safestrap. I was able to use the Stock and the modified Stock Kernel; but not the Developer's Edition Kernel when I loaded Hyperdrive 9.1 on Aroma. I use Stock and the MDK patch on the VZW G.P.E. 4.2 ROM. Did not have to flash MDK patch on Hyperdrive, which I believe reflashes the Stock MDK kernel. However, found it necessary to flash the MDK patch on your GPE 4.2.2 ROM in order to have Wifi and 4g working properly.

I understand that ME7 users must load the Stock Kernel and flash the ME7 patch.

Hey Dubs,

I'm running GE Pure v5 and have been for a long time now. Besides the known issues like the carrier name, I have been loving it. Expect for one exception. My compass doesn't work. I posted about this a few times here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44731136#post44731136

Even though no one really responded to me back then, I suppose the only thing worth trying is re-flashing a TouchWiz ROM to see if that fixes it. I have been planning to do this for weeks but I keep on wanting to wait until you release the next version so when I do re-flash yours, I get the latest and greatest. But since there hasn't been a release since the 11th, I'm wondering if I should expect one? Are there any more releases coming up or planned on this project? I know you posted about your new future project, but that one doesn't seem too active yet either.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tsukasa Buddha:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
The calibration is available in all aosp based Roms under gs3settings.

When I get time to work on it again I plan to update apps, aroma layout, permissions, and kernels. But I won't be doing anymore framework edits to the project. Installing clean or even an update isn't going to fix data for you anyway though...

I compiled OctOS for all gs4s today. All 9 carrier/types. And we've locked down the aroma so that it automatically picks your carrier and the carrier specific files for you. The whole aroma package with 18 different Roms in it is still going to be under 700mb... And I plan to make a post with the first sprint/Verizon build tonight.

Highly doubtful unless Hashcode can get it to boot custom kernels. OctOS is AOSP, which won't boot on the ME7 kernel. This works because 4.2.2 GPe was built on a TW base, while they moved to a more proper AOSP base for 4.3 GPe.
