Wow, thanks!

Slightly off-topic question...

Why does Google include a generic browser and email client when they're also gonna preload a Chrome and Gmail? Why not just Chrome and Gmail?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Other email services exist. I am still in my years long battle to get rid of Yahoo. I had it for years before Gmail existed. Plus people need it for Exchange.

AOSP browser is not "Google's"...Chrome is. They did stop including the AOSP browser on Nexus devices. You have to side load it on the N7 if it is not built into your ROM.

Works for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bmkindoll:
Screenshot is Volume Down and Home Button right? That doesnt seem to be working for me....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bd1212:
Dubbsy, if you plan on adding TW apps and stuff to the ROM, would it be possible for you to instead just package all the TW apps into a flashable zip? That way for those who only want the stock ROM/apps won't have to go through the ROM removing all the unwanted apps. Easier to flash a zip with all of the apps than it is to go through ah remove multiple apps.

Just a suggestion, though. This is your ROM and you can do what you like with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crooke356:
Volume down and power
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bmkindoll:
Thanks, I completely forgot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] roscoe08:
Double tap the home button
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Yeah. Like I put in the op. It will do a wipe anyway. I don't like lots of steps... I try to keep things one step :D

I could do that. This isn't really my ROM. I just decided to do this while I'm messing around with the ROM I plan to support. And then I decided to keep messing with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] roscoe08:
Mine downloaded fine titanium back up worked just fine also
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:
Everything is really smooth.... The only problems I see are the signal bars, gps being a little weird, and the carrier name. Keep up the good work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kpa2727:
sorry for the delay I have some findings, a lot of things work great but here's some issues.

1. root checker flagged as no root access

2. Tried the Wii controller I get no route to host error most likely related to the root access.

3. holding home button does not bring up recently opened apps it brings up google now. which is odd how do I kill apps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Southern_mind:
3 double tap home button
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bd1212:
Are you using CWM recovery? That would be the cause of your first two problems. For the third, on AOSP you need to double tap the home button to bring up the recent apps list.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rnd0209:
Double tap home button brings you to recents. Watch a YouTube video of the galaxy s4 Google edition. That's the only way to learn how to use the shortcuts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kpa2727:
Yea i'm using cmw touch, can anyone give me a direction as to where I can get twrp?

also anyway to clear all apps at once after double tap? thanks for the help btw.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bd1212:
Mhm, that's definitely the issue then. To get TWRP just download Goomanager from the play store and then press menu and click install openrecoveryscript. Follow the directions and that'll put TWRP on your phone. Then, just flash the v3 of the OP's ROM and you'll be all set.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bmkindoll:
My double tap for recents just stopped working for some reason. Completely random. Anyone else have any reasoning for that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kpa2727:
just happened to me, no answer also no reboot function just power off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rnd0209:
What were you guys doing when you tried to pull up recents? Did you change anything?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ThorSkaagi:
Oh wow. DUH. I totally spaced on the email thing. I've only ever used Gmail so I forgot that there were other options!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BusyPooping:
cant recieve mms.... hellllllp
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cjkacz:
I know this is not high on the priority list but has anyone been able to get some of the Samsung tw apps working. Most important to me is the camera /gallery. I tried dropping them in system /apps and setting permissions. The camera shows up but won't boot. Gallery doesn't even show. I then tried titanium backup and nandroid back up. None work. I don't know what else to try
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] belogical:
Use something like root explorer and after they are in the system folder, click the apk and install it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cjkacz:
I tried that and they won't install. I then placed them there, set permission and rebooted. Camera shows up but won't load up. Gallery says it's installed but won't show up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xiaoxion:
If you check the Development forums, there is a flashable zip that is fairly easy to install. Can't link to it now, but it's still on the first page as of my writing this. TW apps for Google Edition or something like that.

_______________________________

I have been playing with the flashable zip that supposedly fixes the banner. Apparently it does solve the issue, or at least some of it.

I played around with the Radios in the LTE on/off and have gotten my phone to display Verizon in the banner. But when it switches from LTE to CDMA, it misconfigures and I am left with gibberish.

If you want to know my steps

Switch to GSM only

Switch to LTE only

Switch to LTE/CDMA auto

Sometimes it takes a couple of shots to get it right, but it has worked for me. The only problem is if my network reconfigs itself, I am left with gibberish... Probably a deeper issue than just switching some props in the framework–res I am afraid.

I am not certain, and I know Dubbsy might already know this but it appears that since LTE is not natively supported in the original ROM there is some missing code to deal with these changes and the LTE signal indicator as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sparkerjc:
I would start here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2341770

Note, I flashed the zip from that thread, and it rendered this ROM unbootable for me. At least its a start, you can see what files are involved. If you figure the trick out let us know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cjkacz:
Thanks to you both. I'll mess around with this today!

Was there always a limit on MMS file sizes? I keep trying to send pictures to people via text and it gives me "message exceeds size limit", but my camera is set to 8MP. Some pictures send and others don't. Never noticed this before not sure if its bug or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NotoriousNeo:
Never had that issue. May be a setting in messaging? Usually the picture is automatically resized so it can be sent as a MMS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] prstorero:
Is it the version that can be themed? If it is I couldn't send any on it either so I pushed my own stock blacked out one lol. After that it works :P I'm running 4.5 just as an FYI

Get them a monster.com account?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Elvis_Marmaduke:
When I do this I still only have 3g and "ROAMING INDICATOR OFF" Still can't get 4g working on this ROM...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loldi:
Yeah, now that I think about it you're right, it always said "resizing for MMS", but it doesn't seem to do that for me now (4.6 MyWay). Weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xiaoxion:
Which ROM and Recovery are you running? Also, was it a clean install?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Elvis_Marmaduke:
4.6 odex and twrp

And I always do clean installs ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JayyBiggs:
Weird issue. This ROM is amazing first and foremost. however my 64gb SD card isn't reading on my phone since I flashed the newest blacked out release. Anyone else having this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JayyBiggs:
So the 4.6.1 myway release wasnt reading my sd card. Wiped and installed 4.6 my way with no keyboard. Had to use voice search to download a keyboard apk and my sd card reads just fine. Weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xiaoxion:
I would recommend doing a clean install on CWM. TWRP was unstable for me. I had a couple issues as well, but oddly they resolved themselves once I flashed with CWM. **Do not wipe with TWRP** It will soft brick your device. Known issue on the current release.

You could also try to do a reflash without a wipe and that may resolve the issue, but then again, a clean wipe is always recommended with ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
I can honestly say none of that is true at least for me. I am running twrp 2.5.0.2 and have since I rooted my phone over a month ago. Yes there were issues with version 2.5.0.3 but I just rolled back and been solid since then.

And I do full wipes nearly every day and have never been bricked.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
Could you please tell me - will S-view work on this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rnd0209:
FYI I have found that the Maps app on the PureV2 lags the OS.

Everyone notices the choppy UI after the phone has been running for a while.

Just force closed each app one by one and the maps app was the culprit.

Have to see why.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 6spdsc4:
I'm having trouble getting any kind of 4G connection back, was wondering if someone could walk me through it. I'm running PureGv2. I had been running it for most of the week without issue, excellent connectivity, basically zero issues. Then last night like an idiot I thought I'd attempt to get the verizon wireless back instead of the gibberish and haven't been able to connect to 4G since then. I've tried just about everything I can safely think of including and up to wipe/factory reset and reflash. Even wipe/restore back to a CM10.1 backup hasn't worked. Clearly my settings are off, can someone tell me what they should be set at? If I'm leaving out any needed info just ask! Thanks in advance!

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Natronics:
Switch it to CDMA auto prl, let it pick up the 3g signal then switch it back to LTE/CDMA auto prl. Worked for me when I had issues with LTE on this rom.

Sent from my SCH-I545
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Elvis_Marmaduke:
Yeah I'm still not getting any kind of 4g. Hopefully it gets fixed in the next version, I tried everything 5 times except using CWM cuz twrp is superior
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Natronics:
What does it show in the LTE on off app when you switch it to lte/CDMA auto prl? Sometimes it might switch to 1x RTT. I did have to format /data at one point, in TWRP, to get the 4g working again.

The signal should show LTE:14

Did you try turning the radio off and on in the app?

Sent from my SCH-I545
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 6spdsc4:
Mine will drop data when switching from CDMA auto to LTE/CDMA auto, then pick back up 1x and 3G but will never switch over to 4G. Network Type: eHRPD:13 and is showing GSM service: In service

Oddly I can't connect to my home wifi now either, it just keeps looping between 'connecting' and 'Obtaining IP address...'

(The wifi issue has been happening since last night when I lost 4G as well, but when restored back to a previous CM10.1 backup wifi was working fine again)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Elvis_Marmaduke:
There's no reason I should have to lose all my data to get 4g working lol. Yes I tried toggling radio. I am also getting eHRDP:13 and never seems to attempt 4g. I get those weird symbols for a split second when changing to and from CDMA to CDMA/LTE and then it quickly switches back to roaming indicator off
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 6spdsc4:
So I ended up solving my 4G issue by going all the way back to the stock, unrooted ROM, and did the whole process over again. Back up and running with 4G now, although I'm still having my WiFi connection issue. Any suggestions on why I can't connect?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Natronics:
I fully understand. Lol. I didn't want to either but ive seen this very same thing on the note 2. Deleting the android/data folder usually does the trick....but I've stuck with formatting to get 4G back on both phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Elvis_Marmaduke:
So wiping the data folder should work? Because I tried a full reinstall and that didn't do it hehe. I'm not too worried about it, I don't mind 3g TOO much cuz I'm usually in WiFi anyways lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
Hey dub is there a way you could add option to save pics to sdcard like the stock camera
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshw0000:
My review after a few day's use:

In response to some issues a couple pages back, I haven't experienced any of them. I just sent and received a MMS from my wife using the Verizon Messaging app (what I always use). I've had no issues with TWRP on this rom or any other rom. My 64 gb sd card works perfect on this rom. And I played with the network settings a few times and lost data but I was always able to toggle airplane mode, switch to CDMA only in the LTE ONOff app, and switch back to LTE/CDMA and get 4G (LTE) back. I've used navigation several times and it always locked on quickly and kept signal. Pretty much everything works aside from the confirmed bugs.

I've tried everything I know to do to install the stock TW camera and from what I can tell no one has figured out how to get it working on this rom yet.

I've tethered for about 8 hours over the past few days without any issues. I did notice that I can't manage connections though. I can see the number of connections I have but I can't do anything with them aside from turn off tethering. Maybe it's just the way AOSP is set up but it seems like I could always pick out users and disconnect them on other roms (maybe I'm confusing that with other phones - I've had a lot). I'm on 4.6.1 deodexed, installed clean coming from a TW rom.

Still an awesome rom and stable enough at this point for daily use!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sgtakase:
Yes the sview cover works just fine on 4.6. Its because the Google experience Roms are built on a touchwiz framework so all the extra features in touch wiz could be added in
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oodasbobooo:
+1 This is the exact same experience I've had. Aside from the network bug, which isn't an issue if you can stop yourself from going into network settings, this is the most flawless " custom ROM" I've ever flashed.

MMS is working fine for me with the messaging app, sent pictures back and forth with my wife to make sure. Installed Nova launcher just for fun, and this phone FLIES.

I'm using this ROM as my daily driver regardless if the bars get fixed or not lol. If someone ports the tw apps over, that would be insane lol... But since I'm coming from a galaxy nexus, I'm used to the aosp camera, etc... (Although saving to the SD card would be nice lol... I'm currently just using file manager to move the pictures manually when I get a few of them built up on local memory)

All in all this ROM is awesome!! Great job dubbsy!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
You can try using FolderMount for the pictures.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trillonometry:
so anyone figure out how to turn off the capacitive button lights ? just the lights not the actual funtion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] belogical:
I bought this app awhile back to sync my pictures to the cloud. It works flawlessly for that. I just found out it will also move (copy then delete source) your files from internal storage to external storage automatically and live. This should be a good fix for those of us that want our pictures on external SD cards. This app is worth every penny IMO.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] techspecs:
I love this Rom except that goggle hangouts will not sync. If I open it messages will come in but they won't push to the phone as they're received. I haven't experienced this on other roms. Any thoughts or suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loldi:
I had a problem with FB chat heads not appearing. I had notifications enabled..etc..but still wouldn't get popups. Found that just reinstalling fixed the issue so it might work for you as well for hangouts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] v3rn:
Does anyone know if this ROM works with a Network Extender or if it puts you in roaming like CM10.1 and other AOSP ROMs?

Thanks for the awesome rom. Great battery life.

Can you share your settings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Eventually. I'll be home Monday. Camping this weekend. Got burnt up and rained on. It was a great weekend so far.

tanked my sim card this weekend too. So I'll be grabbing another one Monday. :)

Does no one turn their capacitive button lights off but me!? I feel like a crazy person
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I do in general. Haven't gotten around to figuring out the script to do it on ge yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trillonometry:
Yeah TW gives the option... Can't seem to figure it out on GE. it's my only gripe besides the signal bar thing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loldi:
Is this ROM considered a TW or AOSP ROM? I ask because for certain packages/extras/mods (google wallet, etc) you need to select either TW or AOSP files to install/flash, and was wondering which would be appropriate for this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bd1212:
I also turn mine off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NotoriousNeo:
Could you give me an example how it looks on your phone? Because I've tried it and keep getting random errors from file exists to not found. I've deleted existing folders which was recommended and still can't get it to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kcellb:
So does this have the tw s4 image processing quality? My only gripe with AOSP (like Carbon/PA/CM) is that it uses the native AOSP image processing for the camera - which is horrible when compared with Samsung's. I ask because this is Samsung's version on the Google Edition, so I don't know if this is something they would have included.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
I just noticed this last night. I went back to hyperdrive after taking a picture and seeing it compared to the TW one. I love this ROM though...is it possible to get the TW camera software on this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Prindle19:
Really awesome ROM!

Had been running CM Nightlies and this (4.6 Odex) is WAY more stable so far.

How are updates going to be handled?

Only thing I'm having issues with right now is the LTE bars, as expected, if there is a fix released, what is the upgrade path?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] niv3d:
No fix yet, Dubbsy is on vacation until tommorow and said he should be able to work on it then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] alexhendershott:
Hi! I am loving this rom as well. Really, really, stable and well done. However, I was thinking of checking out the CM nightlies for the quick notification toggles and the maximized widget on lockscreen. Are the CM builds that bad right now? I would really prefer to stay with PureG, I just wish there was a way to get more toggles in my notification panel and to maximize widgets on the lockscreen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k7raid:
Signal bars

I was lucky enough to head out of town for the weekend. I found that I do get signal bars when the phone entered a 3g area briefly. running 4.6 deodex. Thought this might be helpful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Prindle19:
I was having some serious issues with CM lately; I was initially running an early June nightly, and then recently updated to a July build; having wiped cache / dalvik, etc. Could have been the in-place update for all I know, but it was bad.

Major bluetooth issues, constant resets, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] HeroOfTime:
New Here

Hey, I'm new to the GS4. Seeing that this ROM was available pushed me to use an upgrade and I'm glad I did. I'll be following closely. Thanks for the hard work in porting such an awesome ROM!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbutler755:
Calendar solution

I installed this today - beautiful job development team. I found that GPS worked out of the box but the calendar sync didn't. I did a search on this thread and the others that reported solutions. I tried their suggestions but couldn't get any of them to work on the MyWay rom.

As another solution I will tell you what I did. Using Goomanager, I downloaded gapps-jb-20130301-signed and I let TRWP do the install. I cleared dalvik and made a backup. Voilà - my calendar syncs and all other apps are working fine.

Let me know if you have any questions. I really appreciate all the time spent developing this excellent rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Diversion:
I'm only curious but why can't the stock google edition dump that works on Verizon just be flashed as is on our devices? What's stopping that from happening?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
There isn't a "Google Edition dump that works on Verizon". Google Edition was written solely for GSM carriers.

THAT

is why. Feel free to flash said dump though. Worse case scenario boot loop. Best case scenario, boots up fine with no data at all.

Just got finished Odining to a clean base to pull files from. Will be getting a new sim(or 2) tonight I believe. And about to decomp some framework files again this morning. Slow start because I am burnt up pretty good and therefore cannot get moving(even after 2 rockstars and some carbs).

Ever notice wen you get sun burnt on your shoulders and arms and knees that kids seem to want piggy back rides and to wrestle shortly there after? :eek: Good weekend over all. Rained a lot so camping was a bit muddy. Feel like I am behind on a lot of work though. My gs4 was used solely for watching my little pony and muppets on youtube this weekend, gotta love kids. :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Diversion:
Oh, I thought they released a Verizon version, my bad - it was just a question, im not to stupidly flash GSM based framework on a Verizon phone :P

So IF Google does decide to release a verizon based google edition, we would be golden.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loldi:
Noticed that ANDROID SYSTEM has been accounting for a large chunk of my battery percentage (MyWay 4.6.1). Only seemed to be happening recently. There doesn't seem to be any noticeable wakelocks or anything coming from it (according to BBS). Seems to happen randomly after a reboot; sometimes it's 3-6% and sometimes its 50%.

Glad you had an enjoyable weekend Dubbsy, time to break out the aloe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshw0000:
I went to the lake last weekend in hopes of catching a "tan" for the beach on the 4th. I came back a lobster. So by the time I got to the beach, I was peeling like crazy and wearing the kids' 100 spf spray. Still a fun trip but wish I wouldn't have roasted myself at the lake the weekend before.

Hey dubbsy glad you had a good trip. Been thinking about this problem. So I am sure you know that cyanaogenmod pulled the rils from this ge ROM and when implemented it caused frozen signal stats through a few nightlies. Was thinking either pulling rils from cm or peaking at the gerrit might point you towards how to get this fixed. Just a thought . .
