Hidden Notifications return after reboot

When I go to app info for an app that has a notification showing and uncheck the "Show notifications" option it works until I reboot. The notification comes back and I have to check then uncheck the box again to re-hide the notification. Is anyone else having this issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
this isn't an issue. that's how it's supposed to work. this has been covered in the thread. if you reboot, you always have to re-uncheck show notifications.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheMasterBaron:
Thanks. Seems unintuitive. to have to check it then re-uncheck that I thought for sure it was broke.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lobster!:
Something that has pissed me off about Touchwiz ROMs is the "adapt display" feature that makes things go yellow or blue dependent on the app you're on

Is there a kernel, or any mod I can use to get rid of it? I've tried every CM ROM and they have it, but they're too unstable for me and they're glitchy and I need something that works, so please if anyone has anything to disable it on this ROM and keep my whites/grays neutral instead of that icky awful yellowish tint, I would PAY for it. :crying:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
Turn off adapt display option. Or set the ui mode manually to natural or dynamic

---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

Or stay with this rom, flash kt kernel and adjust the ui mode with the ktweaker
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lobster!:
Samsung stripped it away in this ROM, so there's nothing there under the display options. Any other things I could do?

---------- Post added at 08:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

Also, where can I grab and how can I flash the latest baseband? It appears some things won't work on MDL, so I'm gonna need to get the newer MH1 (I think that's it?)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
Like I said before, KT kernel lets you control the display tone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lobster!:
Holy... no way!

Thank you so much! Gosh, I would hug you if I could. :highfive:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
Make sure you flash the T-mobile 4.3 TW (yes TW) version. It installs the KTweaker as well. And don't mess with screen-off profiles, you'll get SODs
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshuaadude:
hey guys, new S4 owner here! I've been running this rom for the past week and I other than one random reboot in the beginning, I have experirenced no hiccups whatsoever. Very impressive! Snappy and stable.

I do have some questions regarding the ROM though, and i apologize if these isues have been addressd already. I did do some searching around first.

1. drop-down notification panel: i cant seem to add any more panels to the drop-down menu, and the panels themselves dont act as actual triggers but take me to the respective menu instead. Is there any way to change this? I am using power toggles as an alternative.

2. Lockscreen: I cant add any shortcuts to the notification ring and I cant seem to change the lockscreen wallpaper at all.

3. Notification lights: is there a way to customize the pulse notifications other than installing an app like lightflow?

I used to run AOKP on all of my older phones, so I wouldnt be suprised if these features are exclusive to AOKP only. Thanks for any clarity or suggestions!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbdan:
@ joshuaadude : the 3 things you list are exclusive to a custom aosp rom like Cm, PA, aokp etc... They cannot be changed this is a stock'ish Google Edition rom. Stick with power toggles, you can try a 3rd party locksceen like widget locker, and use 3rd party led app like lightflow for custom led notifications. You can do long presses on the present notification drop down toggles

†<><†
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
[MENTION=2899175]jbdan[/MENTION] is correct

i just wanted to note that i also had a random reboot near when i first flashed the ROM. i went back to faux's mainline Kernel until yesterday when i needed to manually reboot my phone, at which point it got stuck at the Galaxy S4 logo screen. i've been back on the current Kernel. i'm working on repacking MH5's Kernel prob this weekend. although ktoonsez stated that there were no changes from MH1 to MH5 Kernel, i compared the size of the boot.img itself and they are a tad bit different. modules are exactly the same. who knows if the newer boot.img will keep an initial reboot from happening.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
No reboots with either the packed kernel or KT 09/17. The only issue I've had was SOD when playing with of screen profiles
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
lol yeah that'll happen if you drop too low on the frequency

Can I remap the hardware buttons with this rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
if you know of a way that i don't, sure!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] eusthebest:
What do u mean? I am currently on the slim rom and with it i can for example map the home button to when i long press it to bring up Google now, when i long press the back key i would kill the current app and when i long press the menu key it would bring up the recent apps menu. Can that be done with this Rom is my question.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
No you can't. However, nova launcher lets you assign custom functions to the home and menu long press.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] eusthebest:
Thanks for the info!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] labrea:
Best rom so far! Can't thank you enough.

I have one simple question that I am sure most of you already know the answer.

I am trying to remove camera shortcut from lock screen (not camera widget) but I could not find any where to remove it, I would like to be able to unlock lock screen by swiping my finger up and down or right and left, not just to the right side.

Any solution?

Thanks

I use GravityBox to change my hardware buttons on this rom. It's an Xposed module: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

Have you guys encountered any stability issues with Exposed ??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] byron1985:
I just started using it again and so far haven't had any issues. It allows you to add most of the customization stuff from Aomori into this amazing stable awesome rom. Win win.

How can I disable camera and Google shortcuts from lock-screen? I had S4 Google Edition that I just returned yesterday, it did not have camera and google shortcuts and I could swipe my finger up/down/right/left to unlock screen, now I have to swipe it to right to unlock.

Any workaround?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] byron1985:
Install 2.4 no shortcuts on lock screen. Its baked into 2.4.1 can't remove easily.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
I don't think you can do it on this version of the ROM. However you can go back one version (2.4) where those lock screen shortcuts aren't present. I'm not aware of any other way to do this on v2.4.1

Most Google apps are missing when you first flash this. You can download them manually if you need them - this way they are not system apps (and can be uninstalled even without root) and the ROM size stays small.

battery mods help

if I install the battery mods on 4.3 would it make the overall battery last longer?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chispas109:
I tried clearing its data and i keep getting google + force closes. Anyone else with this.?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbdan:
That would rock! No, but seriously, the mod is only aesthetic as it will replace the battery image with a numbered percent so you can see exactly what percent the battery has.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chispas109:
Edit: apparently this force close was related to a notification toggles app that I downloaded from the play store. I was also getting force closes on other apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] labrea:
Hold your finger on lock screen and swipe it from right to left. easier.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yeah, you're gonna get FC's from less popular apps on the Play Store that haven't been updated in a while or haven't been updated for 4.3. unsurprisingly, there are still quite a few out there...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] farfromovin:
Stupid question time- since the GE rom is TW, is it possible to use the 4.2.2 TW camera in GE roms? The TW camera is really stunning compared to GE.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
Where to start???...:)

---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

GE rom is designed for the Samsung galaxy s4, but it's aosp based, not TW. So the camera cannot and will not ever be ported because of huge differences in frame work.

Use Photo Wonder from the play store to give those pictures all those great TW effects. The GE camera takes surprisingly very good pictures in most conditions. As for slow motion videos: who takes those anyways???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] farfromovin:
I'm new to the s4 game, but everything ive read indicates GE has TW framework, hence why AOSP kernels dont work but TW kernels do. Sorry for the off topic commentary.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] byron1985:
actually you are wrong on that it does have a touchwiz base not aosp. There is a port of the Touchwiz camera in the general threads however developer hasn't got everything 100% working possibly some libs or other files missing. I had saw awhile back a developer had got it 100%working on his rom for another carrier and someone had talked about porting it but haven't looked into it anymore because the GE camera is almost as good with the exception of night mode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
A TW base??? Now I'm really confused. I know the kernel is TW based, but I thought that GE was a slightly modified aosp base. Time to do some research and refrain from spreading false information. My apologies.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] byron1985:
Well it has the core touchwiz framework in it. That way all the drivers and all that fun stuff works. So its more of a touchwiz ROM minus the actual touchwiz mods. It lives in between land. That's also why all the touchwiz mods and kernels work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
Well they did a great job cause it disguises itself pretty well as aosp
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
google play edition software is basically a hybrid of touchwiz and aosp
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
I was wondering why there was no feature development with this stable base, and why 99% of AOSP apks that I tried didn't work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dr. Fed:
Latest version running great. I've noticed improved WiFi speeds and much better hand-off from one WiFi access point to another. As compared to stock TW. Must be kernel related or perhaps a difference between 4.3 vs 4.2; awesome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chispas109:
Has anyone downloaded Tmobile visual voice mail or Tmobile my account from the play store? Not showing up on the search results.

the other i'm not seeing, though. because i had previously installed it, it is on my "all" apps list on the play store. if you had it installed before, it will be there.

A question about MTP...

So, I was having problems with MTP and thought it was something about my computer all of a sudden. then I notice that the 4.3 ROM doesn't have MTP listed. Can I assume that there's a bug in 4.3?

Does anyone have a solution? I have tried a bunch of supposed 'fixes' and can't get my computer to install the drivers or recognise my phone. It's a real shame, because otherwise this ROM is perfect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Though I would let everyone know that v2.4.2 is running ROCK SOLID as expected. Didn't have a single issue in past couple of days. Works like a charm, stellar battery life...Every time I try to find an issue, I fail miserably and I like it ;) Thank you Mr.V and team.

Anyone looking for a solid, stable ROM... Look no further...This is it...One of the best out there...

Cheers... Friday is almost here :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chispas109:
Thanks again for your hard work and for being active on the thread. Here a little something. Transaction I'd: 85648497G1712141R
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
so what is the issue here? are you saying your computer isn't recognizing your phone?

MTP is listed. there is MTP and PTP. you are having a driver issue which is computer related... please search the internet and install the correct Samsung drivers.

thank you!! :highfive:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] therourke:
Correct drivers installed. Lots of internet searching has been done.

Basically, I have tried several ROMS. This is the first one where MTP / USB storage hasn't worked. I assumed it was a problem with my computer, but when I looked at the list of features for this ROM, I noticed that 4.2 has MTP highlighted in bold, whereas it doesn't exist at all in the 4.3 list. A search through this thread showed at least one person asking about an MTP bug, so I assumed maybe it was a known problem.

It sounds as though I am alone though in my troubles i.e. my Windows 7 computer doesn't recognise my S4 anymore. It used to, but now can't seem to get the driver installation to stick. I have tried everything, done a lot of hunting around for solutions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
the only reason it's listed under 4.2.2 is because i copy/pasted from ausdim's Kernel thread. but, as you can see, there is indeed MTP/PTP support for 4.3. if computers weren't recognizing the phone, this would be a huge issue for me since i transfer files to/from my phone very very often

edit: now MTP is listed under 4.3 ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] therourke:
Understood. Thanks

My problem must be something that changed on my computer then... A real pain
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] th3h0ff:
I seem to be having issues with my stock camera app. When I open it it will autofocuse correctly however if I try and move the focus to a different spot it stays stuck at the initial focal length. Using a secondary camera app I.e. focal fixes the problem but I much prefer the stock camera app. Anyone else seeing this behavior? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i use Camera JB+ but i opened up the stock Camera app just to double check your issue here and it was focusing on different spots that i touched. the focus ring even stayed on the other spots i touched for a second or so.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] th3h0ff:
Thanks I will check out jb+. And my focalnring also stays on the new focus spot for a few moments after tapping in but I don't get the half rotation verifying its refocused properly. Instead it just shows the rung were I tap indicating a green focus ring but the lens never adjust. Can you verify the ring and camera apparatus is actually adjusting. I do this by letting the camera focus then tap on something in the very close foreground and then the very distant background. Just the native app won't focus when doing this. I've confirmed refocusing works with focal and camermx. Thanks again dude for the help and the awesome ROM its much appreciated!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
when i tap somewhere else after it has focused, the ring shows up in the new spot, turns counter clockwise (sometimes clockwise) and the two brackets light up green, meaning focused. i was able to make it turn red, meaning not focused, by erratically tapping all over the place quickly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] th3h0ff:
Thanks for verifying this! I'm going to do a full wipe and clean install to see if this fixes my issue... Mine does not behave in the way you describe so I will report back I'm assuming the clean install will fix it. Thanks again for your help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bhambones:
I am having the same problem. Was trying to update to v 2.4.2 and my computer won't recognize my phone when connecting via usb. I have tried it on a windows and a mac machine and still having the issue. Any ideas? I love version 2.4.1 and I can't wait to try this out.

-Brian
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
if you're experiencing issues, full wipe if you haven't guys. i went to two different AOSP ROMs yesterday just to see if there was any improvement. ended up coming back to my own with another full wipe. no issues.

the MTP thing, however, sounds driver related. are you running the ROM at stock or installing other Kernels? my brother runs my work as well and also has no problems. he puts music on his phone for the car. so, it's either your computer not having the correct drivers or you have done something after installing the ROM. double check your drivers... there are guides around the forums on how to get it working as intended. it may not be for GPE, but it's essentially the same thing (installing/updating drivers).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bhambones:
Yes I did a full wipe when installing v 2.4.1 and am running the rom stock. I'm going to download 2.4.2 from my phone and do a full wipe before installing to see if the new 2.4.2 fixes it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
you might wanna try going into device manager. if there's an exclamation in there, right click on it and select properties. click the driver tab. select update driver. select browse my computer for driver software. select let me pick from a list of device drivers. select samsung mobile mtp device...

done.
