NV_Rebuild is literally the last step I would take before going to Verizon and getting a new sim card. And it's not a process I have memorized because it's like 4 or 5 submenus deep in the touchwiz hidden menu structure. That's why I didn't post it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docnok63:
When I tried to tick the box next to Google Drive (at the bottom of the list), my screen went nuts and I had to two finger select it. While doing so, I also accidentally unchecked the box for Play Store and the screen went back to the battery screen and I installed the wrong battery as well (thus my comment about the Play Store should never be optional).

I'm not sure if the Play Music has begun rolling out yet. I get all my flashaholic fixes from Android Police.

Ahh, I always fix permissions in recovery after installing a new ROM and Viper4Android. No wonder my xPosed doesn't work.

Thanks for the reply and the strong work (you too hlx!!!)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Yeah I didn't grab any pre-rollout updates. Just play store updates.

But the scrolling bug should be good. I haven't had any problem and I even ran a full-select everything install in each of the themes. I'm not sure what's going on with yours. Verified md5? It wouldn't be being as friendly as it is now if the md5 was bad though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ioos:
Installed today and the scrolling worked great in Aroma. It's also nice to have the updated Xposed which can now pull in updated modules like Gravitybox.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
quick update: 6.1 didn't pan out for today. Something with the navbar, tweak, and rearrangement didn't play nice. I'll have to look at it more tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Macknzie:
If everything else fails, I think I've figured out how to get this done. Here are my step by step instructions.

1) Install a rooted stock rom

2) Enable hidden menus using steps 2 and 3 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2303905

3) Enter the following code: *#27663368378#

4) Select: [1] UMTS, then [6] COMMON, then [6] NV REBUILD. Your phone will reboot.

I just tried this, and haven't determined whether it has fixed my issues (seemed to lose data when I would change towers, but not always, only most of the time). I don't know Your mileage may vary, and mucking around in these menus seems like it would be a really great way to cause some serious damage, so use extreme caution. And if you have any qualms, don't do it. If this isn't the right way, I hope someone will be willing to correct me.

That said, I hope it helps.

Circle battery doesn't work in 6.0--just appears stock. I realize Gravitybox has a version but I like your white text, clockwise depletion version better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docnok63:
As I previously posted, I thought my problems with the Aroma installer's Google screen screwed up my battery install, but I just checked my logged and it did try to install the horizontal battery bar. Mine ended up being stock as well.

I've had this issue with 5.9 and 6.0. After playing anything from the speaker or headset for roughly 10 seconds, the phone will reboot (this includes Google Music, speakerphone, and ring tones.) It seems to be related to Xposed. This issue still occurred with all of the modules disabled, but finally went away after I disabled and then froze Xposed.

Has anyone else had this issue? I've only done clean installs and I've tried a couple of different kernels.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trungbeo:
Hi

Thanks for the great ROM

Can I flash some packages for the Eclipse S4 TW ROm? (lockscreen, notification bar etc. ?)

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Coldboot:
Just checked and I don't have the music problem. Am only using two Xposed modules--Gravitybox with all media options unchecked and Pics2SD module.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SladeNoctis:
I've had the same issue this whole day, current build

google edition v6.0

chronic kernel

xposed installed

gravitybox,

greenify

icon themer

pic2sd

unsafe volume mod

sysscope

The reboot only happen for me when i use google music and have any other app that uses data like sending a message through google voice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ioos:
I think it's actually related to GravityBox. Can you try disabling the module, rebooting, and then testing it again? That "fixed" mine. It might be related to a certain setting, but I haven't determined which one yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dscblu:
Is there a way to get the battery bar on this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
None of the vrtheme stuff will work in 6.0 due to permissions. It's known and being worked on. Same with the ongoing navbar bug.

I've only seen random reboots from default settings in gravity box.

You can try to flash anything you want on top of this. If it works hooray. If not, no big deal

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PUstudentNDfan:
For the time being this seems to have worked. I have not traveled yet so I'm not sure if I will have the same data loss issues you have. Either way, thank again for the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Macknzie:
No problem. I did travel to another town on Saturday, and had to turn data on and off (not the radio entirely, just toggled data). Still, it seems better, but I'm not quite sold yet.

MW
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
It's likely related to one option. However, I won't be troubleshooting the xposed modules. I don't have time to try every configuration and logging it to see if it matches what is going on with the random reboots you guys are seeing.

BUT if it isn't xposed related, in order to track anything specific down I need a log of the issue or something that will pinpoint what is causing it.

Sure. You can manually decompile and add it to the ROM. Or you can install the app Team Battery Bar. No instructions will be given on either. But they are both posted and TBB is in the play store. :good:

yeah, that me7 update screwed a lot of people.

Even when me7 gets safestrap I'm not sure exactly how well this is going to work out. If it takes too long to get safestrap going, this project will be obsolete and I won't be updating it or editing it to make it work at that time. And the project that will be obsoleting this one won't support safestrap at all if safestrap doesn't allow use of AOSP kernels. I could be mistaken on SS and maybe they do allow AOSP but I thought I read they didn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
As to whether or not SS allows AOSP kernels to boot, that depends on whether Hashcode can get kexec working or not. No idea what he's looking like on that front, or if there's an alternative workaround.

But I'd expect that whenever SS is released, someone will get a script going to take care of making roms work with it. I can't imagine people expecting each dev to maintain 2 separate versions of each Verizon rom.

I tried rebooting. It still didn't work. Are you supposed to click a save button somewhere or anything like that?

If you don't have wifi with Safestrap, you need to install the kernel modules zipfile Hashcode was talking about....

I don't know if anyone made a flashable yet (although it sounds like someone did - look for 'kernelfix.zip' in the safestrap threads), but what you need to 'get' is all the files from /system/lib/modules/ off a stock TW rom image....

You need to overwrite the contents of /system/lib/modules/ on your running safestraped copy of this rom, and things will work...

It's a result of the kernel discrepency - this ROM isn't running the ME7 touchwiz kernel when installed 'normally', but it has to run under that kernel when installed by safestrap...

And that means that the ME7 kernel-modules (incl wifi driver) have to be copied over the modules 'shipped' with this ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NotoriousNeo:
Is there any way to stop the display from auto-dimming even with auto-brightness turned off? About the only thing that annoys me, however, I think all the ROMs I've used up to this point have done it.

Heard it had something to do with the actual snapdragon processor in these things but didn't know if there was a way to make it not do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WCM3:
So which kernel is everyone using with this ROM? I'm looking for whichever would be the best to prolong battery life. Thanks guys!

Something err went...wrong

I backed up my stock rom. Then tried to flash the latest build using the install feature on the recovery. I went thru aroma and it installed and I rebooted and it didn't boot and now says to go to verizon...recovery only takes me to stock. i have a mac so odin is not an option at the moment any other fixes?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
No one can diagnose without more information. I can make a bunch of assumptions....

You're on me7.

There kernel you chose was not SS friendly.

Reboot recovery and try again with a SS friendly kernel.

Before you ask what is a SS friendly kernel... Ask in the what works with SS thread.

Or just restore your backup.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] arturohernandez:
yeah otherwise i would just root mdk. I chose the stock one with the added feature. How can i restore if my phone won't boot or get into twrp recovery. I can only access stock recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
For me... From a power off state I hold volume up and power to get into recovery. I have no intentions of going to me7 until/if full custom recovery is available and therefore don't have first hand experience. The people who do have experience with it are probably in the what works with safe strap thread. Or the main safe strap thread. Or the discuss safe strap thread.

I know there are kernel related things that safe strap needs. I just don't know what they are... But I bet the people in the safe strap threads would know...

Roms that work with safestrap

There are pretty detailed instructions within those threads on how to use safe strap. What works. What needs done not to soft brick. Etc. I've seen GPE mentioned a lot in the quick sweep I did.

Like all Roms... Mine installs a kernel at the end... Since this project actively supports MDK... It installs an MDK kernel. Which is covered in the three threads I linked to above(which you should have already read)

I need to unroot your rom prior to flashing (I did 'pure google' in aroma) - do you know if removing su and supersu.apk will cause issues during a flash or boot?

(I need GFE for work and it detects su and superuser/supersu on boot and locks itself if detected)

No problem at all. Having superuser or not won't effect your ability to flash custom Roms or whatever else you want. Once you have access to recovery you are gold.

Hey dubbsy, great work on the ROM...awesome, amazing job! Is there a way to possibly remove the home lag button? They have removed it from some gpe Roms but it required modding the android.policy.jar

I believe it is related to the double tap for recent apps. I can't find a way to remap it so that I have to hold the home button to access the recent apps. Perhaps an app does that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I don't see why it wouldn't work.

You'll need to ask questions about me7 to other me7 users. This ROM was made for mdk and hlx and I only use mdk. Things not working because of that should be expected. It will not be updated to me7.

Just a tip for ME7 Safestrap users:

Install this ROM in custom mode in aroma with only minimal apps installed, including Google apps etc.

I tried the install many different ways and kept getting issues, hard and soft reboots, etc.

After install with just nova, only Google play store, and just a few other minimal things, everything is amazing and smooth. Then just manually install everything you need.

For some reason safestrap and the me7 combo causes issues with something.

Just my two cents. Thanks a million to [MENTION=5168775]Dubbsy[/MENTION] - beautiful ROM - matter of fact, if I didn't have this ROM combined with gravitybox, I would have returned this device (I'm still within the 14 day grace period)...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
It's going to be a few things... In one box.

It'll be aroma just like this. Mostly the same mods. Different tweaks. Layout is nicer. More system stuff is user pickable.

It will have a preconfig for Stock Google Experience, each of our defaults, and custom. If you go custom you'll get choice between vanilla systemui and settings or usability tweaked systemui and settings. Then you can pick out all the apps, tweaked or not tweaked. Performance or battery. Stock kernel or a custom kernel. And finally some vrthemed goodness that hlx is working on. The core is good to go. We probably won't be adding all the features at once to make sure there are no conflicts.

I've been on a version of it daily for a couple weeks. Today's build is smooth and stable (at least for me)
