Blows my theory up. Oh well. I thought I may have been because noop doesn't prioritize. I've seen similar issues on the droid x in the past.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkbane:
Knowing is half the battle.

But something I've learned about android is there is no identical device. Each have a mind of its own.

Is there something else I can do to give you more details?

---------- Post added at 07:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 AM ----------

Other simple details about my device is that I did a clean install coming from Eclipse TW latest build. Wiped data, cache, dalvik.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Yeah I've worked on the droid 2, droid 2 global, droid x, lg vortex, lg optomus elite, HTC droid incredible 2, both nexus 7s, amazon kindle fire 2nd gen, and the gs4. You are right they all act different. I've found working inside of them to all be about the same though. Troubleshooting is troubleshooting. :)

My buddy bought the new n7 so I built a stripped stock ROM, with tablet ui, supersu, extended boot menu, and aosp browser with flash support for him. He's pretty pleased. Built the same thing for the original n7 because his wife has that one. :)

I really hope the smali plays nice today. Gotta get some work done but I wanted to get the framework for 4.3 GE edited for Verizon today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s0m3f00l:
Will your rom work with the stock kernal? MDK build that was shipped with the phone and rooted?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Yeah it will only work with MDK.

I won't touch ME7 until it has a recovery.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbutler755:
I found that TWRP was the issue. I ended up using CWM and re-rooting and flashing. All is well now and I haven't had any further issues. For some reason TWRP just didn't work well on the S4 for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] belogical:
Haven't checked the thread in awhile, great to see the progress! My PureV.3 is still working flawlessly, I hate to mess it up with the SOD issues I'm hearing about. Any chance we can get a flashable zip for the signal bars and verizon gibberish?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loldi:
Yeah, thats what I assumed the issue was..after (several) ODINs back to stock and re-rooting, I've been using Eclipse TW ROM with no issues so far with TWRP. The GE builds after 4.6 just didn't play nice with my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkbane:
I like to use CWM recovery. I reboot into it with the shortcuts from the power button or I use the rom manager app.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:
Can't wait for your next update Dubbsy! For some reason your builds are way smooth compared to others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] macravin:
This latest build is my favorite ROM of all. Working great. I'm using the dark side project elite and I've had no SODs, lags, or glitches whatsoever.

The two things I'd really like are quick setting toggles customization and notification led settings. Any recommendations on how to do this best. I know the led is easy, just want to hear peoples favorite app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
albinoman887 told me to use his AOSP kernel with this rom. I've been doing great on 4.8 GE with his TW Chronic RC2. Just wanted to check in here to see if anyone has tried this, since I'm told here we're supposed to use TW. I guess either of his kernels will work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
TouchWiz kernel only, and the chronic kernels do work very nice with this rom.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Uploading now. I'll link it before going to work tomorrow morning. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] belogical:
Good deal. Any chance we can get a flashable zip for the Verizon gibberish and signal bars?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:
When do you go to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
Gotcha. Guess he either didn't realize 4.2.2 GE is TW, or he may have misunderstood and thought I was talking about 4.3. I'll stick with TW then just like I thought.

Awesome!! Your tweaked 4.8 has been nearly perfect for me, only issues really are occasional reboots likely due to me playing around with Chronic kernel settings. Absolutely love this rom.

Are the only changes between the tweaked version and Pure Google just a few performance tweaks? Or is there some functionality changes as well? Just wondering if I'll miss anything if I'm used to your tweaked version.

Thanks again for your awesome work!

:thumbup:

As I said, 4.8 has been nearly perfect for me, signal bars work great and I haven't had the issue with the Verizon eri text gibberish. No need for a zip, just flash that, or try v5 in the morning.

:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Normally leave around 6. One upload failed so to make sure both files are good I'm reupping them again now.

One is Pure.v5 that has a fully working stock kernel. Updated all Gapps. Included more of the Gapps that came installed on my n7's 4.3 update. I installed and tested everything but MTP function last night. This should give a nearly stock type feel. The only not stock stuff now is the reboot menu and the files that needed changed because we are on Verizon.

The other is one I named Clean because I started with a clean build of Pure-v5. It has the majority of Google apps in /data/app instead of /system/app so that they are user uninstallable. build.prop tweaks just like the others I've released. And I decided to stick in [MENTION=2967322]buckmarble[/MENTION] 's Elite Kernel on this go to potentially get rid of any SODs. You can consider this v4.9 I just wanted to differentiate it from the others for my own filing.

No ROM bug fixes in these releases unless you consider the kernel SODs a ROM bug.

I'm still working on 4.3's framework. I hope to get some of the major items done today. If I can get data this weekend I'll upload it as a beta for people to play with. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Not in this go around at least. If you don't want to wipe data then open the ROM zip and delete "wipedata.sh"

But I've never had good luck dirty flashing when framework files have changed. And if you don't wipe data, don't report bugs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] androidrookie84:
Does touchwiz camera zip work with this rom?

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 AM ----------

Nevermind stupid question seen it in OP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s0m3f00l:
I just want to say that this rom with KT's suggested kernal settings is lightning fast... AND if you save your TW apps from samsung, really destroys the stock software. Seriously, I have kept root hoping something like this would come along and I was sticking to TW for a while there so I could get the full GS4 experience... But this ROM destroys TOUCHWIZ. Stability, Battery life, Customization.... I don't think you could ask for more. Thank you sir... Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
They are up and should be good to go. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] what be up:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] paul1035:
I had been running SynergyROM for the past couple of months and I downloaded and installed your Google Edition PureG.v5 and so far everything is going great! Thanks for all of your hard work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
Good stuff Dubbsy, grabbing it now! I've had great results with Elite kernel, found it to be as good if not a little better than Chronic in terms of overall smoothness, which is how I tend to judge performance. Haven't tested battery life yet, but I put it on 4.8 last night so I'll see today while I wait for an opportunity to flash the new new!

Just want to make sure, there's no way to get this ROM if I installed the newest software update, right? I know there is a root for it, but no bootloader unlock? Really want to try this ROM that's why i ask. :(

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ThorSkaagi:
I'm assuming the kernel switch is an attempt to kill the SOD issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Yes, but also the pure version getting the stock kernel made more sense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grenwar:
Hellooo,

I tried flashing both versions and neither is recognized by my PC with USB. Neither version has KTweaker installed so I can change the suggested settings I found earlier in this thread =| Any suggestions?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NotoriousNeo:
Yeah and it seemed to become unstable and stay on it for a little before auto switching back to WCDMA or something. It was a consistent issue that only happened if I went in to the mobile networks. If I stay out of there, LTE runs like a champ.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bd1212:
It varies, but I usually stick to around 25-40% brightness, only going up to 80-100% brightness when in direct sunlight or I'm outside. I've checked to see if I have rogue apps running and none are, I've hibernated apps with Greenify to see if that helps... nothing really helps. I've even bought two third party batteries to see if it was just a crappy Samsung battery that I got and they both actually performed WORSE than the stock battery. I've also tried all of the different AOSP and TW ROM's (CleanROM, JellyBeans, Synergy (although Synergy offered the best battery life out of any ROM I've used so far), HyperDrive, CM10.1, AOKP, etc, etc.).

I literally have no idea what could be the problem with my low screen on times compared to the 5-6 hours some other people get. I mean, I almost always stick to between 0-30% brightness so that can't be it, I don't stream music at all nor do I play videos. I usually just go on Twitter, FB, send some texts (maybe 100-200 a day, if that?), and maybe 1 or 2 phone calls lasting less than a total of 10 minutes.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
The system dump was half odex and half deodex. If you want it that way run v2 or build your own.

As far as everything goes the real phone won't help anything for vzw. The framework files and apps can be decompiled and patched for vzw service already. It's just a matter of who is going to put in the time first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kpa2727:
no, I would just add them and reboot then try to link up. I had a similar issue with my email after a debloat tool. I then pulled all stock apk's off a brand new S4 and added those with root explorer to that directory. it solved things. those two Apk's control the security and the actual stock email app. removed the phone functions normal still. Some devs see those files as bloat and ditch them. So try adding those.

Well lost all data 3g/LTE and couldn't find a way to get it back with the HTC lte on OFF... So I just restored a backup of hyper drive until some of these data issued get ironed out but the rest of the rom is fantastic
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
Just to clarify I wasn't asking you to do anything differently I just don't totally understand how these things work. The odex and deodex system dump confused me and I thought maybe the actual phone in other users hands would help. We all appreciate what your doing with your limited time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
No worries. I thought nitro would have posted his fixed version by now. However I believe he themed his vs leaving it stock. I personally would rather have themed. If nitro only releases themed I'll do my best to provide the stock version also (and will fix the issues )

I haven't had enough time today to even work on my primary project. I tried some work around on 4.3 though. I got it booting every time but I can't get the phone to not force close at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kpa2727:
I'm not a Dev but just for giggles. any posability that Fc is cause by incorrect G apps . I know on CM 10.1 for the s3 when the Improper Gapps was flashed it would Fc like crazy making it useless until you wiped and reset. what if you stripped out Gapps and tried to boot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
No it's the actual phone.apk. attempted to use the 4.2.2 phone and it didn't help. The Google stuff all worked fine other than that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kpa2727:
I feel like i'm grasping for straws but curiosity, what about matching the permissions on the 4.2.2 phone apk or swapping so the 4.3 matches 4.2.2 permissions on just the file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
System/app is read only...how do i go about making that writable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kpa2727:

Root Explorer is a app from the google play store.

Couple small issues with 4.9

A couple of small issues with 4.9:

1) Carrier label is garbled. (Not that I personally care)

2) Very slow charging. A 1A output wall charger is only feeding the phone 300mA. Any ideas on how to fix this???

Thanks,

Mike

Reseating the USB connector resulted in a "boost" from 300mA to 480mA (still a little too low for a 1A charger).

Carrier label is good for me, can't try charging for a few more hours.

No other issues so far to report.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcapozzi:
Possible issue

The /system/etc/init.d directory in the GoogleEditionVZW_Clean.zip looks hosed, you can't cd into it (when viewing the zip file) and that folder fails to be created properly during the flash. The odexed version you just posted looks fine though.

I checked the md5 just to make sure.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcapozzi:
Carrier label still goofy.

Creating that empty file eri.xml in /data did nothing (Is there supposed to be anything in the file? Are there specific file permissions?) to change the carrier label. I ran a "touch eri.xml" in /data to create the file.

-Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] macravin:
Yeah, this doesn't work. Someone found the solution before. It was something similar to the xposed framework, but not quite the same.

Edit: also, is the odex version as recent as the other two? I can't tell.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
The odex version is newer. I started building it as soon as I posted the others. It's the same as deo except all apps are in system and it actually has init.d tweaks in it.

Pure should have no init.d tweaks.

And I thought I had a script in for elite's defaults in deodex'd. That's what I have to check on(besides MTP)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
When I first posted that I said it MIGHT work because I had no carrier text when I did that once. But there's no guarantee that I didn't do something else that caused that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcapozzi:
No problem. Just wanted to make sure I was doing everything right on my end.

I also noticed that the hand off from Wi-Fi to LTE causes most apps to lose internet. I had to toggle the radio to get everything back online.

Hey Dubbsey, sorry I haven't been around on here much to give any feedback. I been playing with Chromecast, Nexus 7, returned Ouya till things get better support. Roms Working great as usual, strangely I started getting SOD's after v4.6 though. banner never once showed Verizon for me on any builds. I got to thinking about common denominators in our phones. Is it possible how we rooted, and what we flashed to root is causing all these odd errors? I know I short cutted with a one click. I'm curious if this is our big factor for banner and Sod's since you don't seem to get them. One last thing, I see people talk about clean installs. Everytime I flash a update to the newest google TWRP wipes my phone anyway. unless it's a option pretty sure it's not possible to dirty flash, right? btw Lte bars working great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
Honestly, the root/recovery method could not have anything to do with it, but nice thought. As near as we can figure it is regional, certain towers report correctly and some don't. In my state I have only found 1 area with working Verizon banner. We have had several reports of it working around Boston but not other locations on the east coast.
