I'm thinking they must use more than vendor for base stations, and there is something buried in the ril that has to interpret things slightly differently depending on which one it's connected to. Dunno...just a guess.

Hey Dub I think a lot of the SOD's people had with KT kernel was due to the voltage settings I believe if you raise the the KT voltage screen off settings, that is any voltage allowed when screen is off, it would fix the issue. I had one SOD in about 2 days on KT kernal and, after raising the screen off voltages have not seen it return. you might want to try it as well. I used KT's suggested settings then raised the last few voltages for the steps that I had designated to screen off.

thanks for reading

Which method or app you guys using to move stuff to the SD card?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] macravin:
I'm using symlinks with an ext4 formatted extsd. You use the ln -s command in the terminal or adb shell to make them.

Foldermount is very popular though for people who don't want to do that...

Just flashed the Odex version and I'm loving the center clock! I do however, have a simple request Dubbsy. I'm wondering if I could get a flashable zip, or even instructions, to change back to the stock battery? Again, love the clock in the center, but I just don't prefer horizontal battery icons, and since this is odexed I'm not sure how to change it...

Thanks so much!

Has anyone else noticed on Pure that the haptic feedback for on screen keys has been a different strength for v3, v4, and v5? It is really weak on V5, obviously I don't have an actual Google Play Edition S4 to compare it to, but just noticed the differences on each...

Installed and running super smooth. Love the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] macravin:
No, I'm looking for a way to change it myself. It's not like I want to force eveveryone to have a different battery. I know where the icons are in the SystemUI.apk, but haven't found a circle battery anywhere to replace them with.

I'm going to look through the CM systemui to see if I can rip those batteries since I can't find a HD circle battery by itself...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s0m3f00l:
Gps isn't working at all for me.. It turns on but never gets a fix... Can anyone tell me what to do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
Well thank ya macravin, can't wait to give that a shot once I get back on Odex!

You threw me a bone, and I may have something for you as well. It's not much, but I was digging around in the ATT section, and there's a rom called KANGABEAN that's basically a stock GE port. Since that's basically what this is, in addition to all the changes to make it work on Verizon, a problem ATT users don't have. So I gave some of the mods he posted a shot. Turns out his SystemUI.apk mods seem to work great on a deodexed rom! Apparently they both use the stock GE SystemUI.apk file, so the mods appear to be interchangeable! They have the center clock stock battery like I wanted, as well as a circle battery with stock or center clock. Battery Mod 2 is what you want, and pick your clock.

Check it out!

|ROM| |★.:KANGABEAN:.★| |ATT&CAN|►GOOGLE-EDITION◄|JB|4.3 + 4.2|LOKi'D|AUG.2.13|

Dubbsy or hlxanthus, feel free to check them out and let me know if they are indeed fully compatible. I've had no problems yet on my end. But I mainly want to ask one of y'all to look at his home button lag fix!

It modifies android.policy.jar, and I can confirm that it definitely makes a difference. Even with on-screen buttons, this mod speeds up the home button response quite a bit over the slight lag it normally has. Unfortunately, android.policy.jar is different between the two roms, so this mod will break things. I only ran it for a few minutes, but there were errors and FC's, and pressing the lock button would not bring up the reboot menu, but would lock the phone up then make it hot boot. But again, the lag is GONE!

So if either of y'all, or someone else who knows what they're doing, could diff it and dig through the code, it'd be interesting to see if we could make this mod available for our version!

Thanks, and lemme know!

Thanks! Unfortunately, that's not the circle battery I was looking for. That one's really kind of ugly... I have been having fun with these though. Just in case anyone was wondering, the 4.3 systemui doesn't run on this rom :silly:

Also, as a sidenote, his mods work fine on an odexed rom as well. Odexed and Deodexed parts can be mixed without any real issues, it's just that those apps wont get the speed benefits of the odexing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lithium98:
I'm sure this goes without say, but just to be on the safe side, This rom shouldn't be getting any OTA's right? If it does, I'm guessing it's a bad idea to install them. Again, just wanna be on the safe side.

Here is a Holo Ring Battery, inspired by CyanogenMod's version (it is not exactly it but this version is a little easier to see IMO). The pngs were not made by myself, but ported from this thread here. Why from the Galaxy S III you ask? Well they were already the proper xhdpi size as needed to match the stock battery. For that matter any of the 800 batteries from that page can be ported easily to this one below. Simply rename the 204 pngs to edit out the "tw_" from each one and drop them into the xhdpi folder in my zip below. A little time consuming but it works.

As a side note, here is a zip to revert it to stock pngs and animations.

I love this Rom. It's sexy sleek fast and almost bug free. But why can't it support gps? Without gps you can't navigate. Without navigation you can't get around and that's just not good for a man who travels a lot alone with only the gs4 to guide him. Any hope of getting a fix dubs? My friend. My ally?

Below is a new method to enable the NavBar on the most recent versions. It does several things in fact.

+Disables the capacitive buttons

+Disables the double tap to open recents action

+Enables the Navigation Bar

+Shrinks the NavBar height from 48dpi to 42dpi to lessen the impact on the screen

To disable the lights on the capacitive buttons you will also need this app installed

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docnok63:
The battery in our phones are huge. If the charger/plug is from another phone/carrier mixed and matched...your charging success will vary. I ordered a Samsung OEM charger from Amazon and it didn't work with the S4. I had to pay an absurd amount for the Verizon cord from the local store for things to go properly. (Don't loose your white cord that comes in the box!)

[MENTION=411720]edif[/MENTION]- You shouldn't wait to flash something based on one persons' experience. If there were multiple reports of an important issue for you (like Focal and Voice+ is on the 10.2 ROMs for me), then I would say hold off. Give this ROM a go. You'll love it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
Thanks so much man, I decompiled SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk on my phone and have been poking around trying to find where the value for setting the navbar height is. May I ask where you found it? I wanted to change it down to 40 or so, so this is perfect, but I'd love to know where to find it so I don't go crazy!

Also, I believe this is the same home button lagfix from KANGABEAN, so I'm excited to have this for our rom!

May I also ask what all png's I have to change to make a semi-transparent navbar and status bar? I see values in the drawables folders in both SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk, would changing all of them do it, or is there more to it than that? Not asking for it, not even sure I want it, just wondering if you know what all I'd need to do...

Thanks hlxanthus, you really bring this rom into its own!

Decided this deserved it's own post, so here ya go.

You can also disable the back lights by changing a single value in your databases. Using SQLite Editor, go into Settings Storage/settings.db/system, and scroll down to line 47, button_key_light, then change the 1500 to 0. Reboot and you're golden, and that's one less app you have to have running at boot. There's a ton of other things in there you can change that aren't available in the settings menus, but obviously alot of the TW stuff won't work. Give it a shot though!

It is within res/values/dimens line 16-18.

It is your preference but anything under 42dpi becomes slightly unresponsive for me (hard to activate like the target to active is now too small)

Edit: As for using SQLite editor, that doesn't help much for building a flashable for noob friendly flashables. I am still trying to figure out how to just turn it off within the rom

I've noticed random GPS issues across most ROMs that aren't stock based with the gs4. As stupid as it sounds the fixes that have been posted were all "flash back to stock, get a GPS lock, then flash the desired ROM again"

I can confirm they work great with odex, and everything stays properly odexed. I know this because I use Kuban Odexer both if I have a deodexed rom, and if I flash deodexed mods to an odexed rom, and it'll odex just those apks. But everything is still odexed after flashing.

I like the stock battery as I'm less OCD when I'm not seeing a number constantly decrease, and can always use the KANGABEAN mod for center clock if I want and then reodex. But your short navbar/button disable/lag fix is great, I'm really enjoying it! This is how Google should have made it from the start.

Dubbsy, great to hear you're looking at 4.3 again. It's my understanding from the KANGABEAN thread that the official version of 4.3 is TW based as well, is this what you're seeing? They're saying you need to use the 4.3 TW kernel that's built from the 4.3 GE source, so this would seem to be correct. I'm personally glad, since that means we can still use the AWESOME TW camera, and potentially port other features in the future as well.

How are you looking as far as data/telephony is concerned with 4.3, and is it handled completely differently in this version?

Sent from my VZW Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I have the entire system decompiled. Also plan to DL the released source Monday. From the looks of it, 4.3 is aosp with some TW code built in to make things function. Where as 4.2.2 was TW with an AOSP system built on top.

I've found that 4.3 needs a totally different kernel. It needs the 4.3 ge ramdisk and an aosp kernel zimage. Using a TW zimage doesn't work at all. I've built 4 different working kernels. One built off of cm10.1, one with cm10.2, one with stock 4.3 ge, and one with KT's 4.3. None of the posted 4.3 aosp kernels will boot.

As far as the network handling. It's totally different than in the 4.2.2 version. I had data working in one try with 4.2.2. 4.3 is a pita. I haven't dug through everything yet so I can't say definitively what is causing my issues. I'll get it, just not sure how many attempts before I get basic data working.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
4.3 does not have a secondary framework resource. All touchwiz Roms have twframework-res.apk within /system/framework. The 4.3 GE ROM does not. So we know it is not touchwiz stripped of the skin/extras. But looking within various apks you find code that you only see in TW roms. So in the end it is closer to aosp than 4.2.2 was but still not truely there yet.

I don't use a mac at all. But if it's like the rest, the recent release I killed MTP by accident. I'm working on it now, as well as trying to fix up some framework files in the process. Flashing KT's 7/7 kernel that I like seemed to fix the MTP issue on my end.

There is also adb push if adb is working for you.

Ignore this post if you're not a kernel junkie like myself.

Just FYI, there's a new Chronic kernel, but I still found Elite to work a little better both for performance and battery. Overclocking doesn't work, but I haven't yet felt the need to overclock a device that's already at 1.9 ghz.

buckmarble released new 4.3 AOSP kernels with everything supposedly fixed, but obviously that doesn't help us yet. No idea when or if he'll have new 4.2.2 TW kernels, but if we're on 4.3 by then it won't matter. Sounds like it'll be an interesting mash-up to make custom 4.3 GE kernels, largely based off of AOSP but with a TW or custom ramdisk placed on top. We don't have an actual 4.3 TW source, so I'm assuming anything labeled a 4.3 TW kernel is built with GE. I know that's the case with KT's kernel and the AT&T guys.

Anyway, looking forward to 4.3 Dubbsy, glad to hear you're working on it, and excited to see what performance improvements it may yield. And an Aroma installer for all these recent UI tweaks is awesome! I think anyone running a GE rom enjoys an experience pretty close to stock AOSP, but we all have our preferred little tweaks and options.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Yeah the 4.3 ge kernel is a unique case it seems. I have a few that boot. None of the released 4.3 kernels will work on ge without modification

Rebuilding the ge 4.2.2 base again for the aroma package to help with the options and get rid of the other issues like MTP/WiFi/signal. Might take a bit.

Even when i get 4.3 going I'll still keep 4.2.2 up too because 4.3 ge isn't just an update to 4.2.2. It's totally different.
