:good: Screwing with the RILs just before my vacation is what tanked my SIM card ;) Had a few test builds I loaded onto my sd before leaving for camping. The one where I changed the RILs to match vzw's aosp builds that work, killed it. lol

While my computer is running decompile commands I am messing with my phone to see if there is a way to repair my service without going to vzw tonight on the way home from work. No luck so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
Ahh, well it was a thought. Maybe it is not all of them that is a problem. Well, this project isn't worth you tanking your phone that is for sure.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Ever since I was a child I had this desire to figure out how things worked. I broke things to figure out what made them tick. And then tried putting them back together(often bringing a pile to my dad and asking for help). In my experience the best way to learn about things is to break them, and when you need the item that is broken you are motivated to get it working again. So you learn...fast. :good:

I'm not really worried about it. Everything is repairable. I have a full backup of totally stock "/" just in case I need to repair something specific. Killing the sim card just destroys my 1x/3g/4g auto switching, which I can't fix(yet) but verizon can.

Friend of mine flashed pureg v3 and the carrier name is still a bunch of symbols. We can't figure it out, are we missing something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bmkindoll:
I've had the same issue as well. Everything I've tried to flash that had "the fix" has still always showed symbols. Also the "Pure Google" version also had the 4-Way Reboot menu. At least v2 did. Won't speak for v3.

PS, having a grand time on PureG v1!! Thanks for all the work.

The fix implemented does the trick for some but not all. Myself, it didn't work. To my knowledge an explanation has yet to be discovered.

Dubbsy, great work! I just want to ask if it's possible to reassign the hardware keys like CM10.1.

I like the stability of this ROM, but I really like assigning my menu button to be tasks and having to long press for menu.

Is there any way to do that on this ROM at all? If not, don't worry about it, I know you got a lot on your plate. Just wondered if it could be done and if so then, maybe that feature could come in the future?

Just wondered, it's hardly a request!

Thanks for your hard work, man!

Now I see that you have to be mistaken to my dismay, because this Rom uses the ktoonz kernel which does not include Exfat support :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sparkerjc:
I am sure you are aware, but just in case, there are methods of formatting 64gb cards to fat, which I did and it works no matter what rom I decide to flash that day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rainabba:
Fat32 size limits are an issue for me and ext4 support has been as unreliable as Exfat so far. You have another suggestion?

Can anyone confirm absolutely that ext4 works with kt ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:
I wish Google would release this to all of the devices.... It would make it so much easier. To me it wouldnt be that hard to change the code to support LTE instead of GSM, but I guess Google wants us to figure it out the hard way.

Oh, and by that way thanks dubbsy for creating this ROM for us! I hope you get your signal back and you can find the solution to some of the bugs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dineshh:
4.6.1

Hopefully it supports basic I9500 ?:cowboy:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrMuzik:
You mean Samsung?

There's no reason you couldn't run their version of the ROM by the way. You just need to edit the build prop, eri banner and flash your loki kernel. Should work dandy after that. Since they're the same ROM.

Both VZW and Sprint versions work great for the US Cellular S4. (: Means it'll work for ya. Or should.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] j_della:
Experiencing big time battery drain after installing this ROM. After 1 hour already down to 83% when I would normally still be in the high 90s. "Google Services" is the number 1 battery culprit. There is nothing different on the phone than there was the last 2 months.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loldi:
In case anyone was wondering (like myself) the Optical Reader APP DOES WORK ON THIS ROM! I flashed it successfully on the 4.6.1 MyWay build and tested it and it works absolutely flawlessly. Here is the link to the post where you can download the zip.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshw0000:
Well, I downloaded the Sprint rom and pulled the TW camera and pushed it to /system/app, fixed permissions and rebooted. No go group.

Are there other apps that the TW camera depends on?

Edit - I also pulled BeautyFace and BestFace. Still no go.

I believe so. When I went through and froze stuff in the past with titanium on a tw ROM, I saw more than one app with the camera logo. I think they were for the different features. It may also need the gallery, but I'm not sure on that one

For some odd reason I lose data connectivity if I reboot. I have to connect to wifi then jump off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sherdog16:
Be aware that flashing roms can mess things up. You can even lose data after a a backup restore. There are ways to get it back but there are inherent risks involved with flashing a rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stevedub40:
I've been noticing that throughout the day my phone starts to get really laggy and choppy. I think I might have narrowed it down to Nova Launcher, but I will need to do some testing to confirm. Has anyone else experienced this? I might do a full wipe and update to the latest version of this ROM, because I absolutely love the stock look and feel, but this weird lag is driving me nuts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EVOme:
WTF!! I haven't heard that before...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] norman1080:
Is this true? Please confirm. I have flashed hundreds of Roms in my days and have never heard this ever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EVOme:
He scared me and I instantly restored my Clean 1.6.5 back to phone until I get verification on this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrMuzik:
As mention, flash the ROM and find out. I don't get why y'all make a big deal out of it. No experience flashing ROMs?

It can happen on any ROM. I've heard of it and seen it happen countless times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sherdog16:
The rom is great, and fast, but i was just sharing my experience so far as to the risks. I would assume it's incredibly rare but I can't get 4G back permanently with my backups. Only temporarily with a 4G switcher app. I should've held my tongue for a bit to exhaust some more options, but I just wanted to share a warning to those that may be flashing without knowing the risks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshw0000:
I have plenty of experience, I'm just lazy. I have Loki downloaded as well. I'd need to make a backup, flash the rom and loki, TiBu the camera, restore this rom, and restore the TiBu. I tried it from a TW TiBu and it didn't work. I have a feeling it wont on this one either. I may try it on my lunch break.

Nothing in this ROM can damage your radio. I am assuming it was referring to how dubbsy tanked his sim card but that was not in ANY way related to this ROM or bugs present in it. This ROM in its current state may have its issues but it can do nothing to damage your phone that a nandroid restore can't fix.

Dubbsy had issues because he was trying to fix our signal reporting issue.

Of course flashing any ROM has its risks and you are warned of this over and over in nearly every ROM thread and rooting guide. If you don't feel safe then run a fully stable ROM. [MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION] does an excellent job on his cleanRom and it is about as safe as a ROM can get.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshw0000:
Dude, this is slander and I'd take offense if I was Dubbsy. Developers spend countless hours working on roms with little or no compensation. You accept the risks when you flash a rom. Just because you (and maybe a few others) are having an issue doesn't mean it will permanently "hose" your 4G. Go Odin your phone and it'll be fine.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sherdog16:
Listen Josh,

No "slander" was intended and I think the work that is done with android is great. Specifically what Dubbsy has done here. I can't begin to touch any of it. I also never said the word "permanently".

As I said a few posts ago i'm going to try some other things but my statement of losing 4G across my backups is true and something I felt should be shared so other users are aware or the risks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshw0000:
Alright, I just returned from the Sprint rom.

The TW camera does work but the dual camera option doesn't.

I made a full TiBu backup and I've restored everything I can think of that relates to the camera and gallery. Still no dice on the TW camera on this rom. I'm going to have to sit this one out and let the people smarter than myself work their magic.

Does the GPE S4 shipping out to those who pre ordered it mean anything significant to the development of this rom? Will we get better images to build off of?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gcarterny:
For people who are losing 4g across Roms its because u screwed your Sim card. I've done it a few times with the S3 and only way to get it back is to get a new Sim.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] belogical:
I don't see it posted anywhere, but PureG.v3 didn't fix the Verizon banner issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Some better system dumps may come of it. But as far as functionality goes, it won't help at all. It's still a gsm phone.

^ This ^

and as hlx said. My destroyed sim was from me installing test roms that I've never uploaded or posted. I test everything on my own devices before posting it for the public.

Through all the options in hidden menu you can restore a majority of your service even if you killed your sim. But I'm not holding anyone's hands for the hidden menus. If you have the balls to go digging then kudos to you. Frankly if anyone digs as deep as you can into the hidden menus you really ought to work on a rom. Understanding the menus and submenus is often harder than building a rom.

As far as the "slander"... my feelings aren't hurt. From personal experienceI've seen a lot of different kinds of Android users. Stock. Newb root users. Newb rommed root users. And then it gets into a lot of sub sets on tweaking modding and understanding the system. Everyone that doesn't dig through their systems for fun, doesn't understand everything fully. Nothing against these people. Most of my friends and family are these people. But they are often the people who lend little to no help when it comes down to actually fixing the real problem.

I just try to help where I can, if I can.

Really to avoid killing your sim, just don't screw with the network settings. Also don't try to activate the phone or update the roaming. And don't flash special prl files or special radio files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itzdangerv3:
So I have been running this ROM for a week and its been great but today I had a friend send me a contact card from his s3 and it never downloaded anything. Has anyone else had this issue? I searched and couldn't find anything related.

Is there any way to implement any of the TW features like air view and swipe to screenshot on GE? It is on a TW framework and all.. is there any possibility?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bd1212:
No possibility. Plus, how is swipe to screenshot easier than power+home?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
if you want that use Nitro's build

this needs to stay as close to stock as possible
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Prouder:
I'm sorry that I think that feature is convinent. I find it the most useful gimmick on tw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bd1212:
To each their own. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Because of my sheer hatred of air_view/air_move/air____ and it's nagging "do you want to try me" "oh please try me" "look how easy it is, try me" "try me, I'll default to enabled anyway" I won't be making any attempt to integrate it into the ROM :good:

Gestures, camera, voice control, and maybe a few others I will work on after I get everything else squared away. But I'll only be including those on the future tweaked builds. The pure will stay pure with no tweaks or mods(other than those which make it work for verizon). And I may make it a flashable option instead of actually including it(if the lib files and everything can be flashed as a secondary option and still work correctly).

Prior to getting my s4 I only ever ran and worked on AOSP based ROMs. The s4 was a huge learning experience because I never messed with a touchwiz device at all, I never worked on an Odexed rom at all, and I never had gimmick features that non stop were telling me to try them. :eek: I do however like the s4's touchwiz layout. That's why my main project is a TW rom. :good:

Through all the learning, I can pretty much deodex and odex anything within 30 minutes including setup and connection. :D Make that an hour and I can do it without a computer :silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drPheta:
Yeah, if you want the TW experience with a stock look run JellyBeans with Nova launcher or something similar. The GE Roms are meant to look, feel, and work like stock. It'd be nice to have SOME TW features available to mod in, but really it seems like it's just the camera that we want implemented.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EVOme:
I am using Pure V3, but after a few days I realized how much I miss the "cool" things that the S4 offered with TW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] harrytery:
the only feature I would want out of TW is the camera (general consensus) and S-Voice...i think i might be the only one wanting that feature lol

any hope on S-Voice Dubbsey?? I know you're staying as stock as possible
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Both S-Voice and Camera work fine if you include all their depend files. :good:

I initially released this with both s-voice and SecCamera. I didn't verify the camera working but I did on S-Voice.\

BTW, I almost have more thanks than posts. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shanimal92:
Can anyone tell me what's give difference, if any, between this ROM (all variations) and ROMs like Beans and Eclipse? If it just different devs, or are the bases different?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Beans and Eclipse are Touchwiz with full functioning touchwiz interface changed to look like AOSP. This is the Google Edition firmware released with the Google Edition Galaxy s4 that is available for purchase for use on any GSM carrier ported to work on Verizon.

I'm really not sure how to make that any more understandable. I tried writing it a few different ways. But no matter how I wrote it, it was confusing.

Both this and those others have TW-Framework. But the google edition 4.2.2 is way different than a touchwiz rom themed to look like aosp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shanimal92:
So essentially Beans is a TW base with a AOSP skin. Kinda of like how TW is a skin over stock android? This is closer to what was on my Galaxy nexus then. Are there any advantages to this way over what other people are doing(speed, battery life, etc)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I don't mod for battery life. So you may want to ask someone else. Even when I finally get the Google Edition all buttoned up and running totally stable, my default daily driver ROM will still be the other one I am working on. It all comes down to personal choice.

If you want a vanilla google edition(aosp style everything built to work with TW framework) rom for vzw this will be the one for you. If you want a full AOSP ROM you will want to compile from source because I don't think any are available. If you want an AOSP source built ROM with modifications done to the UI you'll want any of the "original development" posted ROMs. If you want Touchwiz roms with the touchwiz toggles and all touchwiz features you'll want any of the touchwiz ROMs. If you want all of the TW toggles and features but want it to look like AOSP then you will want Eclipse or Beans(I think eclipse being a bit more aosp-y).

Like I said, clear as mud right?

If still confused or getting more confused: you could try all of them and pick your favorite. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
This is what touch wiz is before Samsung adds all their proprietary software and skin over it. It has most of the frameworks (the background support, think of it like a foundation) of touchwiz, just not actually touchwiz software (i.e. airview, gestures, camera, svoice etc). So it is not really aosp either, but runs like it and the ui is aosp too.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
That's a pretty decent explanation of it. I get tongue tied trying to explain that it's not really touchwiz and it's not really aosp :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:
Dubbsy, did you get your SD card and data back?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
This just in, My phone spends more time out of it's case with the battery cover off than it does in the case with the cover on. It is a nudist

SIM card? I pick it up tonight on the way home. yesterday I was home sick.

But I did get 4g data and voice back, no 3g though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Elvis_Marmaduke:
Yeah I'm running eclipse right now. It's pretty sweet, my 4g issue just wasnt getting fixed by that app. I had to install a different ROM then go into connections and choose 4g to finally get it back. So I'm sure if I installed this ROM again (which I plan to do probably after the next release) I'll be fine if I don't mess with things haha. The aosp with tw firmware just seems unmatched in performance. And I really want to do some photospheres with this amazing camera. One feature I hate that the tw camera is missing and would like to know why lol
