Which recovery is being used for people that get working GPS? I've used twrp 2.5.0.2 and flashed 4.5 as well as 4.0.1 (also Nitro's build) and none have had working GPS for me. There must be something being done differently.

prshosting.org
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I only use TWRP. Did you go into settings - location and check both boxes? Then go into your maps and select report from this device? Those are the only options I've checked off. I've never not had GPS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
It doesn't repartition or change the way the system is laid out. The updater script wipes data without wiping data/media/0(sdcard). So backup your apps and such.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] prstorero:
Just tried the maps thing with no dice. Enabling the network location is less than useless since it isn't more accurate than a 2500 meter radius lol.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shamrock13:
Gotcha. I always back up my apps, but I just wanted to see what this ROM did to the partition.

I'm going to wait till the next revision for the few bugs to be fixed. I prefer to flash when ROMs are 100%. :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Updated the first post to thank those involved in some way or another. And added better descriptions, instructions, and changelogs. Hopefully it helps some with confusion. Will have all up as they finish.

To do:

Fix carrier label

Fix Signal Strength bars

Edit globalconfig defaults, framework, framework2, and mms-common (should fix all issues with any network problem)

Add donator list

Add MY Settings for performance

Add MY init.d tweaks for performance

Thanks. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
:good: No problem. I was able to do a lot more to this than I thought today because my 32gb traveler thumbdrive containing all the work I did on BluKuban this weekend broke this morning :crying: . The contact points just broke at the board apparently. Not sure exactly how or why. But I lost the themed VZW files. I still have them decompiled on my computer. I'll just have to repatch it all again. :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nazzo123:
i flashed the puregoogle V.2 but i dont have the Ktweeker app and my kernal version is the Ktoonez in settings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
That's because I didn't include it, as to make it as pure as it can be(+root) since Google didn't make a kernel for verizon. If you want the app though it's available in a 8mb download in kt's kernel thread. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nazzo123:
thank you!:D

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

wait i just went to his thread and i dont see a download for the app alone. Are you telling me to download the AOSP kernal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] inseconds99:
As soon as those fixes are in I will purchase and s4 and flash as well as donate a little something for your hard work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Download the TW kernel. While this looks like AOSP...it's really AOSP on top of Touchwiz.

If you flash his kernel package it will just put the same kernel I have in the ROM already. But it will give you the app also
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BusyPooping:
just wondering, what is your daily phone, rom and kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bmkindoll:
But just to clarify, even though you were saying you going to add "MY settings" and such, you are going to maintain a "stock" Google Play Edition ROM for our phones as well. Correct?

And a HUGE thanks for all the work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
My settings will only be posted as things users can use. The init.d tweaks will be posted as a flashable.

I'm not adding anything. And I will never make a battery-tree-hugger build. :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Main links for deodex and odex are up.

MyWay is still uploading.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshw0000:
So many updates.... I love it.

I'll give it a couple more days before I download and flash my new daily driver rom.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
Does this ROM have any customization to like like some other android based ROMs or is it just pure Google to the bone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Daily phone is the vzw gs4. And when I'm not testing one of these GE roms I am either on the test build of BluKuban or an Odexed Synergy themed to look exactly like the Blu Kuban. :good:

Kernel I used daily is Kt just because it's easy.

Pure is really about as no customization as it gets besides being deodexed.

The deodex and odex 4.6 just have added features but no theming or anything.

MyWay is just how I would run it. Everything that can be blacked out or dark, is. More will be inverted as I dig through it. More important things to work on though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] prstorero:
Looks like I have gotten GPS to work finally.

Here's what I did so someone can try and replicate it: I had my backup of the 4.5 build, wiped all and flashed hyper release 5. Used GPS test to see if it was getting satellites. When it did I checked Google maps, and that was working too. Rebooted to recovery and straight up restored my 4.5 backup (did 0 wipes, just let the restore do its thing) booted up and BAM had GPS :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ka1z0ku:
Running Deodex V4.6 and I'm loving it. Its like CM10.1 but with better performance. Sure there are some hiccups but I bet those will get ironed out in future releases.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
:highfive: It'll be in the next updates I put up tomorrow also.

I'm hoping I track down the lte signal bars tonight so I can push that too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docnok63:
I'm not sure if this is going to help clue people in or not, but I noticed when I'm on 4G, the signal strength is pegged at -113 dBm and 0 asu. So the problem is not that the signal bars are empty, it's that Android is not properly reading cell connection in 4G. It works perfectly in 3G, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NotoriousNeo:
I'm running LiquidSmooth and it has those animations and phones like the RAZR M, HD, etc., all have those animations but they're running 4.1. Scoping out videos of official stock 4.2 show transitions just like your GE ROMs so I'm wondering if Google decided that while they were nice saving those couple of seconds was worth removing them and going with something more traditional.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bmkindoll:
Mines still just showing symbols.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrMuzik:
Hmm... might have to recompile it. It worked for us on US Cellular using this same ROM. I'll try another compile.

EDIT:

Here's a new compiled one. If this doesn't work then there's obviously some interesting differences between the US Cellular and VZW phone. As this works like a charm on US Cellular.

Give it a shot. Good luck.

http://upload.teamuscellular.com/2Tl
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mikeyinid:
Did it also change the carrier under about phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xonone:
The only time i seen symbols is when i switched from CMDA / LTE (prl) to CMDA (prl) but a second later it shows my carrier info (U.S. Cellular) Both CMDA / LTE and CMDA modes shows U.S. Cellular.

Everything should be changed. Ill post screenshots from a U.S. Cellular phone with the mod installed.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crooke356:
On 4.6 my way, I have no keyboard. I flashed several times and always just voice. Flashed reg 4.6 no problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xonone:
Indeed thanks. Still getting use to a larger screen :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rnd0209:
Thats exactly what I see as well. No matter where I am its always at the dbm.

Basically the radio is working but the algorithm that displays the actual dbm as bars is not set correctly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
That's strange. I'm on an odexed version of 4.6myway and I have it working fine. :-/

And [MENTION=5263605]MrMuzik[/MENTION] your first fix worked for mine. I patched it on my computer and pushed it to my phone. It's showing the correct network everywhere for me. Prior to that it showed "Roaming Indicator Off"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I'm shoulder deep in the services.jar and systemui.apk now. :good: Hoping some line in there is just calling for the wrong service or not at all and I can just patch it in. Hopefully by tomorrow.

I could be way off the beaten path there but those were the 2 areas I had to mess with when I had signal bar issues on the droid x and 2 a while ago.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
He posted another one shortly after. http://upload.teamuscellular.com/2Tl
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] norman1080:
Just throwing this out there.

Since, this is a TW base rom with AOSP overlays, is it possible to use 3minit Setting to customize the status bar, etc.?

I just want to test the waters, but wanted to see what you all thought.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrMuzik:
awesome. wasn't sure if i had a good compiled version or not.

glad it worked. for those in need of it again. here's teh link. http://upload.teamuscellular.com/2Tl

(for deodexed version)

thanks a bunch for the hard work dubbsy! i appreciate it. even though i don't have an s4 yet.. :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I'm pretty positive that's a no. But hell, what's the worst that can happen. Give it a shot. Worst case you loop, you pull the battery, boot to recovery and restore.:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crooke356:
Odd.. I go to the language/input and only voice is there. I don't see anyone else reporting the problem so I guess it me. Tried 2 different dwnlds as well. Can't dwnld the keyboard from play cause I can't sign in. Feel like I'm in the I'm in the twilight zone.

I've never seen someone offer support like you. It truly is a pleasure using your work. You have my respect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I didn't know you didnt have one yet :laugh:

Thank you for the contribution :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I'll try to reup my build that I flashed on my phone to copy and link it.

I'm a little concerned that you can login to google though. :-/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rnd0209:
Fwiw I for one never had any issues like that. If I did I would do a total data/cache wipe and then reinstall V2

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

I just flashed this in cwm and the banner is still the same???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Well the myway build is reupping to my copy now.

As far as the network status I'll have it in tomorrow's build but the first one worked immediately on mine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrMuzik:
are you on the deodexed version? :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rnd0209:
Well hardy har har :). I just flashed the newest pure.v2 and I believe it is deo'd. Do I need od?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Fwiw I flashed it on odex. I didn't care which I flashed it on because I could re or de whenever I want. Didn't think it would matter since it's in the res folder. :shrug:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Elvis_Marmaduke:
Hate to sound redundant, but so you think you could throw in a brief description of each one (like the difference between 4.5 and pure g) in the op?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Didn't I? I thought I was pretty descriptive? :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I'll edit again tomorrow but pure is stock. The others are tweaked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rnd0209:
What ^ he said. Should have been around since the beginning. It was just links to downloads. His little blurb about each build is perfect and to the point. No toppings! Lmao ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Elvis_Marmaduke:
So these are all 4.3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrMuzik:
well i wasn't sure how the odexed stuff was layed out. never used odex before :P i always deodex everything haha.

if it doesn't work then i have no idea folks. maybe there's an issue with your recoveries??

since this is a VRTheme that modifies the framework-res.apk instead of replacing it, maybe the recovery doesn't want to work with it.

i could always upload the entire file already modded which would make it easier but i think y'all can wait until dubbsy releases it in the ROM :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rnd0209:
I just did a clean install of PureV2 with cwm. Maybe it's cwm?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] niv3d:
No they are not. None of them are.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rnd0209:
What changes are on the Reup or myway?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crooke356:
Righteous. I'll try the full ROM first. Much obliged.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
They are the exact same except for one difference. The classes.dex is removed from the apk and becomes [apk_name].odex

This tanked my setup causing a boot loop. It would boot up long enough to catch a signal and then reboot. I was on the first black out version with a few mods of my own so it may have been my stuff that didn't play nice.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
is there anyway to get the toggle buttons when you pull down the notification bar? That would make this ROM perfection for me...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
That is distinctive to touchwiz ROMs. It might be possible but likely outside the scope of this project.

Adds toggles to the notification bar. Other than that nothing you can really do unless its modded in. This is pure aosp.

No changes just a reupload
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:
So after some more digging I found out AOKP is having the same problems with our device and I was reading the forum and the Dev said it had something to do with the RIL blobs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rnd0209:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nugg14:
Can some one point me in the right direction on which files I need to flash or install to get the Samsung watch remote app working on this rom ? I tried the option in the other thread and it didn't work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Pull watchon and peel from a tw rom. Put them in system and set the permissions. reboot. Done
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BigJermZ:
this is strange, I lost my network connection. the first time i installed the deodex version and it was on wifi (i knew about the no bars on 4g) then testing out 4g i turned off wifi with no connection left. it said 3g but nothing, after 2 re flashes, i had to re flash another rom to get the 4g back on. then just to see if it was a fluke i re flashed this rom and tested the speed, 40mbps. after 5 minutes i noticed i had a warning saying no service on the drop down....couldnt change the network to lte/cdma (kept changing back). i tried availble networks and got error while searching for networks.

does anyone else have this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crooke356:
You can download it directly from Google play. Watch on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Did you use the included lte on off app to change the network in there?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:
Dubbsy: Is the RIL up to date? A friend of mine who knows a Dev told me thats a common problem without a updated RIL.

If its not that should fix the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loldi:
So I just flashed the 4.6MyWay build and...it doesn't come with a keyboard? My only option is to use voice input....

so I spoke the alphabet and copy and pasted my email/password to log into my google account >.<
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CNexus:
Lolol

I'm sorry, but that's gotta be one of the funniest things I've heard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crooke356:
Lol.. Didn't think to copy/paste the password..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BigJermZ:
yes, but that seemed to enable the 3g radio (confirmed with speedtest speeds).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loldi:
Gotta do what you gotta do.

On a related note:

Diggin' the blackout themes, also there is no voice recorder app, which I found out the hard way today during work when I casually attempted to load it, realized it wasn't there, then proceeded to pretend to turn it on before telling my patient to continue speaking.

Everything else seems to be well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rustynutzz:
Up and running fine. No root. Of course no signal status bars and the carrier label is shot. But there is a whole bunch of butta though:cyclops:

I also flashed faux 006m kernel with this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rnd0209:
Is your GPS working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] inseconds99:
Oh no, GPS not working = no go for me. I rely on that daily.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
Recents not working also
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rnd0209:
GPS fixed. The location settings access is off by default in google. Have to turn it on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rustynutzz:
No. Kind of a deal breaker for me as I'm going on a trip tomorrow. GPS looks nicer now though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
My GPS is working fine. Did you go into your location settings and enable the options. Then if using Google maps go into those settings and select report from device and allow Google to use location in apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rnd0209:
Just sign into navigation and it will ask you to turn on location access. After you turn it on GPS works for everything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rustynutzz:
Enabled all. No go still.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GreatDayChap:
Data works!

SuperSU is unable to download binaries, though, so no root access.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BusyPooping:
what version of kernels are you using, touchwiz or aosp?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] alekurkudi:
So is this build more stable than v2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crooke356:
Double tap home for recents.

Anyone know a way to disable the backlight on capacitive buttons?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I'll fix supersu next go. It works for me but that's because I use twrp and it is nice enough to ask you if you want it installed. :)

It's there latest ktoonsez tw kernel with ktweaker app.

And v3 should be more stable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rustynutzz:
Faux touchwiz

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rnd0209:
Can we get wallet working? Do we have to just change the .bin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I didn't use faux's because while I personally have his app I know a lot of others don't. And kt comes with a settings app which makes it a bit more universal. I do like the faux kernel also though :thumbup:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
What in the hell. Why is it flashing a keyboard for me and not anyone else. I'm rebuilding again. I'm not sure what the deal is. Are you all using cwm or twrp?

And the ril is as up to date as any other Google edition ril. Which could be a problem but it's not the signal bar problem that's within either services.jar or systemui.apk, at least in my experience with the DX/2 anyway.

Can't do much at home but test a few things I put on my card before leaving.

Loving the dark theme!

Using TWRP. Also noticed that the center clock doesn't go away when you get a text. It stays over the preview message when it appears in the notification bar. Saw some app-opening lag too, but seems to have gone away. (4.6 myway)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gcarterny:
I flashed your updated version my way the 2nd time posted and have keyboard. Also using twrp..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
So you did get a keyboard. Man I'm confused. I built 4.6.1 awhile with 2 different keyboards in case. Put in an extracted gmscore from hlx. Put back all the test apps I removed which shouldn't do anything.

I'll pull the RIL files tomorrow and see if that fixes anything. Then back to figuring out the bars missing.

** edit** man this rom is beautiful...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Posted up a deo and myway to try to fix this keyboard issue(maybe it was a bad upload to androidfilehost). I added that aosp keyboard to be sure. I'm not a fan compared to the Google version I intended to use. Because both are installed only the Google version has working gesture typing.

Both boot and both work for me. For some reason email is not installing on myway. I'll fix it tomorrow. I've never used email so I didn't notice. Hlx pointed it out.

Hopefully will get the data and everything totally worked out tomorrow.
