On every ROM I've flashed, if I had lte before I flashed I had it after also. So long as the ROM supported Verizon networks that is.

Beyond that just by using the included app to select cdma/lte auto prl

Oh ok. I'm still on 4.6.1. I haven't looked at any of the others since I'm not having issues with this build. But I did remember seeing an odexed build (I think).

Honestly, the TW camera is the only thing I want in this rom and I don't care if the signal bar or carrier name get fixed. Neither are affecting my use at all. And I think I read that you were going to work on the TW camera so that'll be perfection for me.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I can build the current 4.6.1 into an odex today. It just wasn't all that important to me at the time of the last update.

Today while my computer runs some deodex commands for my Blu project I am working on a flashable zip with the camera files in it. I also want to try some other options to potentially fix the carrier name for the people who it's not already fixed for(which still confuses me but whatever, there are other workarounds I can try too):good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oodasbobooo:
This is the only thing i've been waiting for LOL... i've been running 4.6.1 for a week and haven't had a single issue. If the signal bars get fixed, thats great, but it's not effecting my daily use. Thanks for all your hard work!! :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
:good:

I just want the signal bars fixed because in general people do not read. So they believe that their data is broken when no signal bars show up. So they go into their network settings and **** with things. Then they break their signal for real.

That and I'd like to just make everything work and be totally stable. I'll get it there. It's just a juggling act with all the projects I have active + work + real life. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oodasbobooo:
Real life? Whats that? LOL.... :silly:

But I am the help desk for everyone that knows me in real life on almost everything. I'm a jack of all trades... A blessing and a curse. The cool part about being a nerd and jack of all trades is I can turn off my nerdiness to have a normal conversation with someone. :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshw0000:
That's awesome. Still getting dates nights? I had those two kids ago. Now a date night would be drinking beer and watching Walking Dead after the kids go to sleep lol.

No need for a odexed version for me. I prefer deodexed. The TW camera would make my weekend though. Thanks!

For those who have tried them all, what is the most stable? v4.6.1 deodexed, PureG.v3, or new test pure version? I haven't had a chance to flash all of them yet. I am looking for the closest thing to the stock Google Edition. Great work by the way!

Thanks,

If you ever do have kids, I'm sure they'll end up like mine. My 2 year old knows how to initiate a Hangout video chat with us (we're her only contacts), watch shows on Netflix, and play games on her Nexus 7. My younger daughter will probably get a N7 when she gets a little older. Technology is the future and I'm starting my girls early.

They're pretty much all the same stability wise. Personally, I'm running 4.6.1 with a few mods and it's perfect. Lag free, 4.5+ hours of screen on time with 18+ of standby easily, stable (haven't had a single reboot yet), just overall perfect. This is how this phone should have worked out of the box.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I think it would be hilarious if I my kid at under 10 tapped into the school's pa network to play rick astley or something. Not that I encourage bad behavior but it would be really really hard to not laugh when the principle called me and told me that my kid rick rolled the entire school.

Hey [MENTION=5168775]Dubbsy[/MENTION],

Do all of your current GE roms share a common framework-res? Was looking to do a navbar edit within and was wondering if the same flashable would work for all variants.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Yes sir.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
BTW, you might want to take a look at framework-res bools. There are some "interesting" things in there IMO

Why does AOSP get lower scores on benchmarks than TW?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
Because Samsung falsely boosts benchmark scores
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sgtakase:
Sorry but I'm having issues with network name. it still shows all of the diamond boxes and I am on 4.6.1.

Has anyone else experienced the same issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
Here is a quick little mod I threw together. Had this requested in my AOSP navbar enabler thread. When activating the navbar it also adds the 3 dot menu overflow within apps. The mod I threw together simply adds a navbar at 0.0dpi and thus triggers the 3 dot menu overflow without a visable navbar.

NOTE: With this mod in place you will NOT be able to add a navbar, because it is already enabled (just shrunk to hidden). If you want this mod AND the navbar, flash the regular version.

Can anyone chime in on which is the closest to a Nexus Device?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
Are you referring to which version from the OP is closest to nexus aosp? The PureG is closest I believe but they all mostly stay stock. Dubbsy's MyWay version mostly just adds inverted gApps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Vegas_Sirk:
Yea which one of the OPs is the closest to if we purchased one of the GE phones for AT&T or T-Mobile .... Ill check out the PureG, I jsut cant take Touchwiz any more its driving me nuts.

Also would you guys say they are good enough for a daily driver?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
Yeah I hear you there, Touchwiz can suck it!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Elvis_Marmaduke:
Hmm... I thought it was because they have all their drivers/firmware (closed source) that AOSP doesn't. That's why the GE ROM is the only AOSP-like ROM to get those high benchmark scores.... Unless you were just clowning haha no offence either way, I'm just trying to answer the question and make sure I understand it too hehe

Just installed 4.6.1 and it shows Verizon wireless. Wipe your current install and reflash the ROM. I wiped dalvik after I installed it

The pureg is as pure as it can be without not working.

The other has build prop tweaks and will eventually also have init tweaks.

What happened to odex ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshw0000:
Try 4.6.1 if you can live with a 100% functional rom that might not display Verizon and doesn't tell you how many signal bars you have. How often do you check those signal bars anyway?

You can do it by decompiling framework editing and recompiling. You may be able get a flashable theme zip made to do it also.

I'm still holding out for a fully functioning TW camera, but if I installed this ROM and an update to the PureG or v4 came up does it wipe my user data and settings? I noticed in the first post it mentions the script wipes anyway.

Thanks for the response. I can live with it since I would never ask any of you to do more than you already do. This really might be smoothest ROM out. Hope you have the opportunity to fix the little silly things that keep it from being perfect.

You can open the ROM zip file and delete wipedata.sh and rezip and it won't wipe data.

Guys,

Had a weird problem today, I totally lost GPS on 4.6.1, so then I wiped and loaded PureGv.3 and it wouldn't work either. I then wiped again and flashed new test pure and could not get the GPS to work. I then flashed CM 10.1 nightly, just to test a different ROM and it worked fine. I am going to try to load PureG v.3 now and see if I can get it to work.

For those experiencing data and connectivity drops:

If you can get onto WiFi: connect, and use a little data, when you turn off WiFi your mobile data reconnects just fine, for some reason.

Weird issue. Was running Jelly Beans latest, then tried out this rom. Wasn't crazy about it, so restored JB...now my gallery is boinked. Worked absolutely fine with JB prior to installing this ROM.

I have found that if you download real signal from the market it will display signal bars for 4g

Just a thought if clearing data doesn't fix it. Try merging the old and new gallery folders (old ones will be 0/0/whatever) and then rebooting

Start off by decompiling framework-res.apk. Now part of the problem is that framework-res wont recompile once you get your edits done. I went here and used the first edit to allow it to successfully recompile. I would suggest you make that edit then recompile and see if you get a build, you should.

Then you are gonna open /res/values/bools.xml and look for the bools string I dropped earlier. Change the "true" to "false" and that's is to unlink the double tap home opening recents. As I said before, this will leave no native way to access the recents menu so your nova gestures are one of the few options to access it.

Do you know how to get the pieces you made in your compile inserted into the signed apk so it will work when installed? I just use 7zip to get into an unmodded apk, delete what ever was changed and drop the pieces from /framework-res/build directly into the apk. In this case I think only the resources.arsc is needed but don't quote me on that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Yeah what he said. I did get mine to recompile and install though. I need to be at my computer to give better details on my settings that worked though.

Great work on the ROM. Just wondering if you have made any progress on the signal bars or carrier ID? The only issue that I had was when the GPS couldn't get a signal and ended up having to flash CM 10.1 nightly, got a GPS lock, and then flashed back to Pure. I was thinking maybe TWRP recovery might be buggy and maybe that's why I had the GPS issues, not sure though. Thanks a bunch.

Oddly, the ROM doesn't seem to recognize my 64 GB SD Card. I have the 32 GB edition of the S4 so could that have anything to do with it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
That is a reasonable easy XML edit, but you have to be friendly with decompiling/recompiling apks. Dubbsy is still trying to get this bug free, let him get it there before we hound for options. And it was part of the Google Edition stock ROM, that is why it is there to begin with.

I will try and manage a seperate flash able soon for you though. A lot of people dislike the CRT effect.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Iskateforfree:
If you could ground up a flashable zip to turn off the CRT animation, that would be awesome! Do you happen to know why my lockscreen has a whole bunch of symbols and characters on the bottom of the screen where the "wireless carrier name" is supposed to be?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] roscoe08:
It is the same reason some ppls wireless carrier in the quick settings has the symbols and stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
That is one of the few bugs present in this ROM. And it isn't like that for everyone either which is strange. I have it for example but the dev, Dubbsy doesn't. The other bugs are the status bar signal doesn't report correctly and going into settings>network settings kills lte service. There is a workaround to restore service in the OP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I'm hoping having a single working folder should help with making flashable options.

I have a couple ideas on why the carrier name works for some and not for others. I'm going to experiment with that next week while messing with the signal bars.

As well as mess with blu to try to get it's MMS and phone status reporting correctly. :eek:

I think aroma is supposed to working now, which should help distribution. I think a pure Google ROM aroma package with options to pimp it up, get rid of multiple ROM versions.
