Hlx is busy working on default installers for pure Google, my personal install, and his personal install. Hopefully for the next build. Depending when he gets done I may have my new framework and systemui built by then :)

I'm currently working on infamous's 3minit port attempting to get data for them. :good:

So has the 4g connectivity been fixed in this rom? I've always wanted to use this rom but i could never get 4g, just 3g
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I've never had 4g issues at all.

The only way anyone should not get data on first boot, or by following the steps from 2nd post, is if that person had been flashing other carrier ROMs that corrupted the nv_data in /efs. And the only way that is going to get fixed is if the person fixes their nv_data file.

The only rom i've used is Hyperdrive. I'm on a verizon gs4. I've tried all of your steps and just could never get it to work. Maybe i was doing something wrong but im pretty sure i followed your steps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Updated the second post with more details on bug fixes, and more info on data for those who have broken data
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Elvis_Marmaduke:
Just hopped back on this ROM :) love it of course. Is there a way to make it so double tap home button does nothing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
Currently that is disabled within the navbar mod. I will look into adding that. But then you cannot access recent and need to find another way to access

I use Nova launcher prime and you can assign anything you want to any of the home 3 buttons under gesture options. :good:

I bought nova prime and apex pro(or whatever they call it) back when they were on sale for 25 cents :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Elvis_Marmaduke:
The best way ive seen it done is holding the menu bar for google now and holding the homd button for multi tasking.

It just feels WAY more snappier when the home button doesnt have that half second delay waiting on the second click. Imo all roms should do it thay way or have the option :P

Is there a place to edit it in the framework?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ioos:
Maybe I've been running Touchwiz phones for too long, but I agree that those are the ideal settings. Long press home for recent apps. Long press menu for Google Now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] HeroOfTime:
See, I guess I used a Galaxy Nexus (and a Nexus 7, for that matter) for too long, since I think that long press for home seems more ideal for Google now, since on stock Android with soft-keys, sliding up from the home key gets you into Google Now. Long pressing home just feels more natural for that. I guess I'm in the minority for all that though, because the slight lag waiting for the second click doesn't bother me much.

Anyway, great ROM, Dubbsy. I love stock Android, and this runs and feels perfect.

hey I was on the last build with the google play edition ROM. Do I need to wipe it in order to update? or can I just update it without wiping anything?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I personally always wipe. It removes a lot of potential issues from leftover system data that is written to data.

And i suggest no one use the Google auto restore/backup function. I've seen it cause issues in the past.

Backing up your downloaded apps and data is easy anyway. I use rom toolbox pro. Others use carbon or titanium backup.

And like it says in my updater, you can choose to not wipe... But when things don't work right DO NOT report it as a bug.

The times I'd say it's completely ok to not wipe is when you are just swapping kernels. Otherwise you leave behind system app data and system app defaults and preferences behind.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thelandon:
I'm lovin' 5.8 Dubbsy! It's perfect! No wakelocks, GPS works, carrier name reports correctly, fast, smooth, lag-free. Great job!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Did your carrier name used to not report correctly? Did I fix it without knowing it? :-? I know there are still 5 things I have to edit... :-/

Hlx finished up the preconfigs and selectable aroma themes. It works amazing! I've got updates to both my tweaks & my modded kernel, audism's kernel, apps, more apps optional. Once I get the framework fixed up it'll be perfect in my opinion.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thelandon:
This is my first go with your Rom, so I don't know? I always shied away due to data and carrier name not reporting correctly in earlier builds.

Any particular reason the messaging app keeps force closing every time I receive a message?

I was digging through the updater and logs today. Fixed a bunch of random stuff that was bugging me and updated a bunch of things.

v5.9 Changelog

All errors in the log fixed

All apps updated to current versions(this way when you install, it uses your system partition space instead of it using both system when you install and data when you update)

Fixed tweaks

Fixed mount and unmount commands

Fixed my face's alignment at the end of the updater(it was bugging me)

Verified PreConfig Installers

Will post once it's uploaded. :silly:

The 5.8 to 5.9 upgrade went VERY smoothly. I actually did it will running out for and eating dinner. I did a nandroid right before the upgrade, installed with custom options and let it boot, and then restored 5.8's data and installed KT's 8-25 kernel (fyi: MTP works).

In the past, I've had to toggle airplane mode on first boot to get data. All three boots with 5.9 have connected right up. It's running like butter gents. Thank you very much for your efforts.

Just flashed 4.0.1 and Im not seeing the TW cam. No biggie just a heads up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] houseboatwayne:
I missed read the OP and installed 4.0.1 that had no TW apps. Could someone make a recovery app to install TW camera? It's the only thing I like from Sammy.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bd1212:
Strange. I just tried it and loaded up The Verge's website in landscape and tried to make it lag and it was a smooth 60 fps no matter what. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, man.

Edit: Have you tried clearing data and cache for the browser?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chaos2092:
I was unaware that the Google Edition ROM still had the Touchwiz framework... Interesting.

At any rate, I think once 4.3 finds its way to being worked out is when I'll finally make the jump, as I would imagine that will be AOSP. A stock ROM should be outrageous battery life over any custom one and the AOSP experience is what I need (lean, fast, reliable, yuss) so I'm quite looking forward to how all this continue to pan out, as things are evolving so quickly.

Thanks again for all your hard work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
4.3 like nearly identical to 4.2.2 but you're right it is pure aosp. No tw framework
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
I have twice

Thanks for the replies I'll fiddle with it some more

Again thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Updated again. Nothing really special. Just fixed superuser and built a black version for myself. And built a test sprint version

So is v3 rooted and I just have to download a superuser app? Sorry if this has been asked already, I've been following this thread since it started in hopes of signal bars getting worked out but I just wanna flash it cause of the good reviews it has so far. Great work on this Dubbs! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
They are all rooted. Twrp for some reason doesn't think the latest supersu and binary is root. Must be because twrp had an older supersu.

I didn't include the supersu app in the pure one because people were screaming for pure... And pure doesn't have superuser. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BraddahBoi808:
Lol, alright. Thanks for clearing that up. CWM should work just fine then huh?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Potentially. Try it. I ditched cwm along time ago though and I won't pretend like I like cwm recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BraddahBoi808:
Alright, I'll give it a go in a few and report back. Thanks again and great work!

Side note. A benefit I found from this having touchwiz framework is the rotation control app works great ;) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate

Can we elaborate on this lol...I wanted to try my hand at starting the port, I was reading through the s3 gsm/CDMA port guide but though about a few issues that may arise from that...I'd be willing to test a port if anyone has one?

Thanks for your list. We are going through possibilities to see what is causing the issue. My install is perfect. But hlx has tried a few ways and is getting mixed results.

We'll get it figured out. Likely one thing isn't friendly with another.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
Obviously there are FAR too many possible permutations to run every variant. I do know that running the pure version is perfect and none of these force closures. I haven't found a single choice that triggers these issues. It seems that it happens when apps call to hide the status bar. So full screen pictures and video causes it and many games will too. We will figure it out :D

Ya just installed the pure one and the fc is gone on that one which is good

My personal daily install works fine for me also. But even before it first boots up I remove gallery, email, exchange, all live wallpapers except sunbeam, picasa uploader, quick office, facelock, photo table, htmlviewer, and talkback. :)

Tomorrow I'm going to step through the permissions and see if anything is out of wack. I know there are no updater/aroma errors so everything is doing what we tell it. I'm just wondering if I missed some random permission.

Navbar not working for me in 5.9 Aroma. Tried a couple of different configurations, but each time I selected the 42dp navbar, and when it booted up I had the normal capacitive buttons, long press, and no navbar. Flashed the standalone zip hlxanthus made before the Aroma and it works fine as it always has.

So the Aroma is simply not installing that mod. Never had this issue before since the first Aroma, using my typical setup of ALL GApps, a handful of the other apps, tweaks, ausdim v13. Same with all Aroma themes and several setups I tried. Not a big deal since I have the standalone zip, but wanted to report the Aroma error. Anyone else having this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ropeguru:
Wipe or not for upgrades

Is a complete wipe recommended or required for flash from say 5.8 to 5.9?

I had that in the previous release with the xposed error, but 5.9 worked fine.

Just installed this ROM. Runs great, the only problem I'm having is Google Calendar. No matter what I do, it won't sync. I've uninstalled it, cleared it's catch, and rebooted several times. No joy. Any suggestions? And yes, it the one from the market. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Google calendar is included by default

And my sync has been working perfectly. Is there a reason you don't want to use the one in the installer?

If you don't use the one in the installer that's why it's not syncing. You need calendarprovider.

Is the TW camera fully functional? How is battery life (in general) as compared to stock? I've always heard that non-TW ROMs take more of a toll on your battery - is that true for the GE ROMs too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] msburr87:
Ive found it's relative to your signal strength, on WiFi or with consistent good signal battery is almost better on aosp and ge. If you have a shakey signal then you'll have a much faster drain on nonTW due to the differences in data hand off. Unfortunately it's the latter for me most of the time. But when I'm at home on WiFi it's amazing on these roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tunez23:
Dubbsy, I just acquired a S4 today and am considering jumping on the train. Does your ROM have a built in Update feature or do you have to do clean installs each time you update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jayochs:
any way to get rid of the home button lag? any button remapping mods?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckelly33:
Thanks. is the tw camera fully functional?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jayochs:
yeah works for the most part, just can't easily get to the gallery bc it links to the samsung gallery, and since that's not present, nothing happens when you click it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Like it says in updater and the second post. the TW camera is not 100%

Battery life depends entirely on what all options you chose, how much stuff you have syncing, and how many bad decisions you make setting up your phone (like letting Google restorer your apps and data)

I personally get great battery life.

The last update was essentially an error fix update, aroma update, and app updates. I'll copy paste it from now on.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ioos:
I've installed a couple of different combinations using custom install and haven't had any SystemUI FCs. Are you wiping data?

The last one I did was (from memory and not in order)

Custom > Nova > CM Battery > Center Clock > Viper, Xposed > Badassery Kernel > All GApps except Magazines, Video, Earth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] msburr87:
Yeah always full wipe. It's weird it started occurring with the camera and gallery then I started getting all sorts of stuff fc'ing on subsequent installs using different combos. I'll try a different download
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ioos:
Yeah, check the MD5s. Also, I never install the additional cameras. Maybe those are related?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docnok63:
I haven't had a single FC with this setup. I also flashed KT's 8-25 kernel afterwards.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I always install it "my way" with no problems and that uses focal. After it jumps back to TWRP I open file manager and remove a bunch of core apps I don't use like gallery, live wallpapers, email, exchange, and a handful of others. Then I install my latest kernel beta I am working on and boot up.

I haven't had any system FCs in awhile. But I understand reasons why people might.

It would be helpful to development if everyone would save their aroma-log before hitting the finish button. And then if it is FCing, to send that over and a logcat of what is going on.

Going off of "it's FC'ing, HALP!!" won't actively get anything fixed. :laugh:
