To use Google Calendar (web based) at all you need to install that app, but it doesn't include Calendar Sync....though sync still works. I already had that installed in order to sync Google Cal with my Business Calendar app.

In older GAPPs Cal Sync was a separate apk. I'll look at a new GAPPs to see if it's still there.

2. Do it for your bro. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i'm really confused here on the google calendar sync. i have both web based and app sync showing up. in fact, i even have access to someone else's calendar and their events are showing up as well, in both app and web via my phone...

is there not calendar sync in your settings>google account>email>Calendar?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pinan:
Sorry to not be more clear. Yes I have that, but there is no GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk to freeze. Sync works fine, and I of course can turn it off, but it still runs in the background as it has in the past, oddly. BBS shows under Alarms "com.android.providers.calendar.-wakeups....." I am assuming sync is causing this, as it did with earlier versions.

I just checked in the latest 4.3 GAPPs, and it is no longer included. Perhaps it's been merged with another apk?

I just had some coffee. Hopefully this makes sense not. *chuckle*
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
ahhh ha! okay now i'm on the same page with ya ;)

yes GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk was removed, i believe, because it was likely merged into the app itself. i'd imagine this happened when Google decided to make the calendar app standalone and available via the Play Store. this makes sense because now anyone can download the app from the store and it support sync features.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pinan:
That's what I figured. Bummer, because now you can't freeze it's sync, without freezing Calendar itself....which would disable it. sigh :crying:

Oh well. I'll live. :silly:

As is evident from some of my posts, I'm rather anal about battery use, LOL! :laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yeah no worries, mate. the ROM itself is stellar when it comes to battery life. i killed my data/wifi connection last night when i went to sleep and over a 7hr period i lost like 1% battery lol

so, the only thing eating up battery would be things syncing or a rogue app that the end user has installed.

edit: [MENTION=3825617]Pinan[/MENTION] thank you for the very generous contribution
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pinan:
Yup. I get 0.3%hr drain with wifi on 24/7, and Sipdroid (VoIP). With Sipdroid off I get 0.1%hr drain. Hah!

Isn't screenshot hold the Vol Down + Power button? I haven't had any issues with taking screenshots.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
it is indeed on GPE ROMs. so, i was wondering how/why this was happening lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] abalosmusic:
Haahahahhaa fail. I thought it was voldown, home, +power... Well that was I was told
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] CollinFX45:
I am loving this ROM. I made a small donation as well. Confirmation: 2X4028875W4043421

Really appreciate your hard work. My phone is just BLAZING fast on this thing. I can't even imagine going back to TouchWiz after this.

Thank you! Zero issues over here. I really wish I could save photos to the MicroSD, but that's a Google issue it seems.

Cheers,

-Collin-
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
this will get you into download mode if the device is powered off. vol up, home + power is recovery.

and vol down + home will do a screen shot for TW ROMs.

thank you sir!

i will be forced to run TW as an only daily driver whenever T-Mob decides to push a firmware update to us and i have to update Apollyon.

in regards to the microSD photo thing, this is possible on the 4.2.2 version, so when Samsung updates any of the TW firmwares to 4.3, it will be possible again, of course minus some working features.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] evocalante:
Yes it is! Volume down + Power.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tofi1:
Its a bit tricky. I kept trying it and it wouldn't work. THen someone suggested i hold it for a couple of seconds, and that turned off the phone. lol

Then a few days ago I was able to get it to work. Press down Vol-Dn + Power for 0.5-1 second and voila!!

Its an art :p

I've been using the leaked Moto x camera for the last week or so to put pics on the SD card. Seems to work for now till a more solid option comes around.

---------- Post added at 06:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------

I can't send any content using wifi-direct. I'm going to flash a TW ROM to see if it works on that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
ding! i've been meaning to check out the motoX cam. now i have a reason. thanks for mentioning!

if you flash a TW ROM, i know there are some wifi direct apps included in it so please be sure to use the same feature as is on this ROM...

in the meantime, i'll see what my team has to say about it. i can't actually test since i'm not at my home currently.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
[MENTION=2438592]tofi1[/MENTION] so i was able to connect wi-fi direct. i connected my 4.3 build to my 4.2.2 build on my brothers phone successfully. however, when i went to share a file, there was no wi-fi direct option for that. strange...

edit: one of my teammates said he could never get it to work between two Samsung phones on stock TW ROMs and another said he got it to work successfully once. sounds like it's a software issue tbh
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tofi1:
We were just testing it with 4 different phones, 2 x S4s, a Nexus 4 and a Note 2.

The Note 2 and one S4 were stock TW, my S4 with the VirginRom Version 2.1.1 and Nexus 4 on AOSP.

We were able to connect, like your test, but unable to do much else on all platforms. I have a Note 2 at home. I'll play around with it over the weekend and see what I can cook up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] abalosmusic:
Jb+ is a great alternative it uses the 4.1 camera I believe which works perfect also it has save to external... Thing is u have to pay for it

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

Yes reason I need WiFi direct. Is cuz I always send big 2gb movie files to all my friends.. That's of course on a tw ROM.. But this ROM is so smooth I'll stay fk sharing lol. Jk for an alternative I'm using fast file transfer from play store. It takes a Lil more time to fiddle with, but gets the job done
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lacussumok:
Is there away to remove this gap above the clock? I could fit a whole row of apps it just seems like a waste of space
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yep so sounds like another broken feature from the start
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yep, install a 3rd party launcher. Nova Launcher, Apex Launcher and Trebuchet (newest in CM10.2 builds) all work great for 4.3 now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] CollinFX45:
Thank you! JB+ works perfectly!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
[MENTION=4946711]abalosmusic[/MENTION] double thanks, i will have to give JB+ a try. glad to see we have external storage options now. so far i am liking the motoX cam but looks like JB+ could be the full featured one i've been looking for
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] abalosmusic:
Moto x can looks badazz.. But wen I use it the front facing lags like crazy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:

Stupid Noob type question

For the life of me I can't remember, how do you get rid of the home screen Google search bar?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
one of two ways. uninstall voice search or use a 3rd party launcher where it is removable via it's settings
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] abalosmusic:

Most of my daily apps keep crashing.. But man 4.3 is stupid fast
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yes, yes it is. but all the apps not being updated for 4.3 just yet was cause enough for me to keep the 4.2.2 version up to date so users like yourself could enjoy a similar experience.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ridobe:
Just out of curiosity, which apps are crashing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] abalosmusic:
Glide video app, mx player, nexmusic, solid explorer, brazzers app, bangbros app
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ridobe:
The only one I use solid and I have zero problems with it. I will be checking out the brazzers app though:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
there's an MX player beta that someone posted that works on 4.3

MXplayer

MX player already release their updated app with 4.3 compatibility, but it still force close in my S4 with virgin rom. However it works in my S3 with CM 10.2. Already tried to clear cache, clear data but it still not work.

Is there an mirror to download 4.3 - 2.1.1 version from? The link on the OP seems to be deadl. :crying:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wuzz Ranger:
So after reading the original OP and doing a search, it's safe to say that Exchange doesn't work yet for this ROM?

Thanks,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tofi1:
Please elaborate. I've been using Exchange email since day one, on both the 4.2.2 and 4.3 versions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i pay for my space so links in OP will never die. maybe the server was down, but it's working now

yep, me too so i don't quite understand either

edit: maybe referring to "Exchange Email device policies removed". when you use the exchange email, there are ridiculous policies that you have to agree to. in the version in the ROM you still have to agree to them but they are removed and cannot be enforced...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wuzz Ranger:
Elaboration:

When I enter the specified information for Exchange, I get an error message that says, "Couldn't Finish" That's it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] d01100100:
The v1 does not work for me.

I tried it in both Nova Prime and the default launcher. Install + fix perms, the status bar has disappeared. Disappear =/= 100% transparency.

I would advise including a fallback install zip.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
do manual setup...

you may be entering in your info wrong as well

but it does work. I have exchange email with the company I work for
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wuzz Ranger:
Ya I have flashed two other ROMS just this morning and Exchange works for them. So I know my info isn't wrong. Maybe I'll flash this ROM again. Post results later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brando56894:
I just flashed the 4.3 version and everything went well, except when I booted into Android after flashing the transparent notification bar mod, I noticed i no longer have a notification bar at all. Also I can't set wallpapers from either picspeed hd or by long pressing and then selecting wallpapers and using one of the stock wallpapers, even after a reboot. Also there's no way to access my recent apps, double clicking home or long pressing home doesn't bring it up.

edit: reflashing the rom again without wiping anything seemed to fix all of my problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DigitalUnderground:
If your notification bar isn't showing up, that means the mod u flashed borked your systemui.apk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 10cheesecakes:
4.3 v2.1.1 link is dead.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brando56894:
USB Tethering also doesn't seem to work correctly in the 4.3 rom. When I enable it, it grabs an IP address but webpages won't load it just keeps saying "connection timed out". It works in the Evil Unwizzed GE 4.2 rom though. I'm going to flash an AOSP 4.3 rom and see if it works on there.

Edit: Tethering works fine in the 8/2 build of CM10.2 by Sym_Link
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] d01100100:
Has anyone gotten the transparent bar mod to work other than the OP?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] `SBR`:
this is because it's a modded systemui and it's not officially signed.. it will not show in the first time.. until you haven't fixed the permissions.

1. Install the Mod in recovery and fix permissions it will solve the issue..

2. if not send a text msg or mail something yourselves, once the msg shows in the statusbar your statusbar will be accessible and acts as normal..

i'm still looking the solution for it :(

Make a Nandroid before installing this

i will bring one more mod, which will have transparency only in Home screen.. in other apps black statusbar will be visible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
pretty sure i know how to fix this and will issue an update for next week. i've never used nor needed tethering personally.

i will fix this for ya, no problem. just give me a few

i'll see about getting this added back in as an add-on so you can at least use it with a launcher that supports it like Nova. haven't actually tested it on Nova but will in a sec. i personally think transparency looks terrible with the AOSP blue in the status bar, but to each their own ;)

i'm uploading another 4-way reboot specific to this ROM as an add-on. will be up in ~min

Two things I noticed. Dialer lacks T9 functionality & Messaging app doesn't have quick reply CM10.1 features how ever I just flashed CM10.1 T9 dialer and CM10.1 messaging app and they both work like a charm with no issues. Might make it easy for those requesting those features.

http://phandroid.com/2013/08/02/android-4-3-ota-update-htc-one-galaxy-s4-google-play-edition/

"What’s interesting is the dependency in sizes between the two. The Android 4.3 update (build number JWR66V) on the HTC One weighs in at 185.5MB, while the Galaxy S4′s is only 150.7. We heard from HTC that they’d be handling the updates for their respective GPe device, handing it off to Google once it was ready for the pushin’. We’d say that’s a pretty good turn around time on these devices, despite not receiving updates directly from Google.

For rooted users, it shouldn’t be too much longer before we see the system dumps from these devices manifest themselves in the form of a flashable ROM. We’ll keep you updated."

Wow. Small ROM size, unless that's just updating certain things.

Followed instructions, except in item 8 missed the No and clicked yes.(disable recovery flash). Fat finger. Now when I rebooted, i get a message "the process com.android.phone has stopped." and it does no matter how many times I click yes, it keeps coming back.

What can I do, I am new to this and I was excited that the process was working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tofi1:
With ROM sizes this small what would it take to get us back some of that 16gb of internal flash drive? Any way to create a Odin wipe? Maybe 150mb would take a gig or so and another gig for stuff. Giving us about 14 or even 13gb.
