Chainfire and co are aware of the root issues with SU and 4.3. now that the Nexus 4 is out and JWR66V is official, there should be be something new shortly.

i also expect Kernel devs to start working with it once source is released (towards end of Aug?)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] evocalante:
Well I did a clean flash and I'm still not able to connect to any router :( I tried another router nearby and no luck either. Not sure what to do. Anything I can provide to help you?

Have you tried wipe caches
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] evocalante:
Yes I wiped cache and dalvik cache :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
have you checked md5 to make sure it matches?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Laggedoutal:
I would try to flash again.. Before flashing again make sure you factory reset and then wipe both caches 3 times.. Then wipe system.. Factory reset again. Then flash rom and wipe caches again... Let it sit for about 5 minutes or at least until the screen goes dark. Then set up phone... Try that and see what happens

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

Ohh Yea download the rom again from op and then do the steps I mentioned
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] evocalante:
Yup. I've been running the ROM for two days and I've had no problems besides now. The only changes or mods that I've done is the home button 4.2 and disabling Google services framework to help with battery drain. But I enabled the services again and still no WiFi. I've dirty flashed clean flashed wipe caches no dice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i would do a full wipe like Laggedoutal suggested

edit: when you full wipe, go to mounts and wipe /system, too.

i have to get some rest. that should resolve your issue. if not i will get with you in the am and see about a logcat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] evocalante:

great rom !!

just flashed and tested most of the stuffs

super fast rom

one request please (not related to the rom ) i see there is no hangouts app ( that replaced gtalk ) in the rom ... really appreciate for not putting that crappy app ... is there any way i can install gtalk in this rom not hangouts ?

i use gtalk a lot , if there is a way please let me know

thank you

and big thank you to the Dev .. awesome rom \m/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
was hoping a CSC edit would change default storage location but it did not. i do not think this is possible for GE. will look more into it.

thanks. best kernel for GE. others don't realize this just yet. ausdim is THE man.

yeah i pulled it (hangouts). some apps, such as Maps, are better left uninstalled and installed via market. with Maps, if you use Greenify, it won't hibernate Maps if it's pre-installed but will if you install from market. will prob pull another Goog app out on next update. you could pull Talk from UVUAMDL i do believe. i don't have it on hand but will on Monday.

also, for those wondering about TW Camera/Gallery, it doesn't work. neither does SMemo, SVideo or SBrowser. i will prob add stock Browser, though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] scorpio_bpl86:
thank you I'll wait till Monday then

really appreciate your work

will keep testing and post issues if found ( which i dont think i will :)

Btw mrvirginia, my MD5 checksum was not even close to that in the OP, but installed fine. Did you forget to change the OP with the update?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
oh crap! doh! did indeed lol thanks for pointing out. one sec and i'll fix it so you can verify

edit: md5 updated
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yeah, should be zero issues. running so nice. much better than skinned TW ROM.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jdom58:
Thks Mr V. just flashed it and it certainly is FAST!! I got two noob questions for being an old timer here, 1- can we regulate the number of home screens with this version (maybe flashing another launcher) 2- how do I move/remoce the Google search widget from the main screen

Thanks

Jamison, just tried the power menu zip, works perfectly, thanks!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
thanks mate. looks like it worked. i will take a look at the code early tmw. old method didn't work so i'm curious :)

edit: is that my framework in the zip? just wondering haha

another launcher will solve both of those if i'm understanding correctly. i use Nova. that's the stock launcher that is baked in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Truballa4real7:
Cant wait for that 4.3 lol I was going to flash this one but ill wait for 4.3 lol

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:

Well I tried what you said in twrp and cwm and still no wifi =/ I'm not giving up yet I love this rom and want to make it work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kaediil:
I have two questions. I have read almost this entire thread and still I am not sure.

1) Does this rom (or any GPE based rom for that matter) have apps2sd or similar support?

2) Is there a flashable way for me to update the CSC to include the original values? I use my device primarily on TMo, but in areas of bad coverage I have an AT&T sim I use and I assume this ROM would break that because of the CSC changes?

Thanks,

-frank
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
it's still weird for you to stop being able to connect to wifi without basically touching anything. the things you changed should not have bothered wifi, and now full wipes and still no dice. are you positive nothing was changed in your network settings for your router? just because your brother can connect doesn't mean you should be able to. your mac address could've been blocked, your connectivity settings could've been blocked, a countless number of things. so what is happening exactly? are you able to see the network at all? can you click it and it just does nothing? more details would be helpful. have you tried doing a reset on your router? have you tried connecting to a public network such as at a starbucks coffee shop or other?

no apps2sd support

i can make you a flashable for the CSC changes. are you on 4.2.2 or 4.3?

[MENTION=4616568]Laggedoutal[/MENTION] i would recommend removing the link to root explorer. i'm pretty sure it's against the rules to post links to paid apps...just don't want you to get into trouble mate. i know some may prefer root explorer over mi file explorer but the reason i put mi file explorer in was because it is free. i use it mainly for sideloading and it just happened to have root access

[MENTION=5037525]Paradoxx123[/MENTION] wasn't able to re-map. sorry mate.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Laggedoutal:
Ok I'll remove it but if any wants it again I'll send it privately
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tofi1:
Do you have a backup for a different ROM that you can restore and check if you get wifi with that one? Maybe the original one?

That we can rule out the MAC filtering variable.

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

Once the phone is unlocked it shouldn't matter what ROM you're using. I tested with an ATT SIM (on the 1.4 version) and it was working fine. I'm sure version 2.1 would be working as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cptsmidge:
Question about the Home Button Lag Fix. I installed it, and now I can't really use the home button properly. Even the lightest click will close any app to the home screen, and then open the multi-windowed view (where you see all the home screens). Is there I can flash to remove it?

EDIT: I'm just going to reflash the ROM and wipe the caches. That should do it, eh?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Laggedoutal:
I don't know what everyone is talking about home button lag... I don't have any lag issues what so ever
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
the multi-windowed view is part of your launcher... change the setting for it there mate so it doesn't do that. the "lag fix" just tells your phone to go to the home screen without listening for a second click for recent apps. that is all it does

this is true but i put in T-Mobile specific customer info and network lock parameters. if you download v1 and do a diff compare to any version thereafter of the csc folder, you'll see what i mean. so while it might work for ATT, without looking in their S4 section and downloading an ATT ROM i can't say for certain if they have similar network lock parameters. it could be just specific to T-Mobile and how their network works.

the so called "lag" is not actual lag and is really the home button "listening" for the user to click a second time before doing the operation of going to home. so yeah, it's not lag at all which is why i don't use that mod. in fact, i very rarely use my home button...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ArgentSun:
That sparked my curiosity - do you have some other, more efficient way of switching between apps, or is your use style just different?

Yes I fixed it thanks to all you guys! I did restore of my previous rom then reflashed this rom and viola got WiFi back. This is possibly a isolated incident but who knows I'm still a noob at all this stuff. Thanks for all of the help. I came from the galaxy s2 and I never got this much support for a problem I experienced. MrVirginia you truly are a great professional developer and when I get spare money I will donate!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i don't use the multi-tasking feature at all haha and i always back out of my apps so not efficient at all and very different usage style than most i'm sure

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
Anyone got WiFi thether working?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
you're welcome

not at the moment. if i made one it would be for 4.3 as 4.2.2 is going to become an old build as soon as root is worked out which should be very soon.

legal or illegal? i believe there is a wifi tether apn but have not tried it because i don't use/need wifi tether
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
Illegal of course you can't pay for WiFi tether on unlimited T-Mobile data

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sauron@Mordor:
Wifi tether comes in handy for me. A lot of times I'll be in a company meeting and want to use my wifi-only tablet. If I connect it to the corporate wifi, there's not much I can do that's particularly interesting and it's slow as molases. If I tether my tablet to my phone's 4G or LTE connection, things just magically work. It's extremely convenient if I want to use my tablet while traveling (car/train) as well.

Is there something special I need to do to the play store? It's unable to find the google nav app (using the 4.3 ROM) and I use that A LOT since I just moved to a new state.

Install of the ROM itself was uneventful. It was flaky for a few mins, the launcher FC'ed, etc...but I rebooted it after about 10 mins and it seems fine now.

Best,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ArgentSun:
Re: navigation app. It was merged with Google Maps, if we are talking about the same thing. If not, Maps still provide you with good navigation.

Sent from my SGH-M919 (GT-I9505G) / Samsung Galaxy S4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
Do you know how to get WiFi tether working on 4.3?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
4.3 seems snappier to me because of the Kernel

Google Nav shortcut disappears on 4.3 currently. either Google needs to update the Maps app for 4.3 or this is how it is intended to be on 4.3. open maps and click on the fork button towards the top right. this opens the navigation part in 4.3.

if you flashed 4.3, you should have not only done a full wipe but prob gone to mounts and storage in recovery and did a format of /system. i have gone back and forth between both 4.2.2 and 4.3 and each time it has gone smoothly...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ArgentSun:
Speaking of 4.3, has anyone experienced a high(er) number of application crashes? I seem to recall something about the need to fix permissions (which I did) when apps tend to force-close, but that didn't seem to be doing much good. Specifically, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, and Minion Rush (don't you dare judge me!) have all crashed at least once. Chrome froze ones for about a minute, but didn't actually crash. Also, unlike the others, Minion Rush crashes without an error message - one moment it's in the foreground and running, and the next I find myself on the homescreen.

It's definitely worth mentioning that both Facebook and Chrome are beta versions, so that might very well be the reason for the unstable behavior. Thought I'd put it out here though.

Side note. [MENTION]mrbirginia[/MENTION], I don't think I saw anything official-official about whether you'll be doing an update (in the upcoming weeks) now that 4.3 is official. Where do we stand on that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
fb and chrome being beta would prob explain those fc's. i'm guessing minion rush is a game which prob needs an update. 4.3 is so new that most apps still need some updating to be completely compatible. i personally haven't experienced any fc's. it's worth noting that i have pulled out all things in regards to SuperSU in my personal build since it's finicky on 4.3. in other words i'm running a non-rooted 4.3 build as of yesterday.

typically devs don't like to be asked for eta's, but i'm no dev ;)

my release schedule is usually beginning of every week if there's going to be something new. 4.2.2 is going to get one final update to fix the lock ring. 4.3 isn't going to be updated until there is a new SuperSU for me to put in to make it completely stable (prob beginning of first full week in Aug). when this happens, 4.2.2 will officially become an old build here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] oasad92:
Oh and mrvirginia, you confirm if you're on a 4.2.2 rom you just need to do the factory reset and stuff to flash 4.3? I saw someone posting somewhere that they tried flashing a 4.3 rom on their jflte and something bad happened, I can't remember what tho lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ArgentSun:
Ah, but I wasn't asking for an ETA either :) I just wasn't sure whether the leaked build was the final version (and so there would be no need to update the 4.3 VirginROM) or some release candidate (and so we can expect to get another update to the 4.3 ROM, this time using the final version).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sauron@Mordor:
Sweet! That's exactly what I was looking for. So far, it's looking pretty sharp. Good work!!

And yes I've check the setting as I always set the setting up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ArgentSun:
It's Power + VolumeDown. You also need to (at least in my experience) press them simultaneously and hold them for about a second - you'll clearly see when the screenshot gets taken.

EDIT: I just trying sending an MMS (a couple of words & a picture from my Gallery) to one recipient, and it looks like it gets stuck on Sending...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i would also go to mounts and storage and do a wipe of /system just to be sure

ahh misunderstood. i believe the leaked JWR66V (this is Nex4 build) is final build branch but may not be the final build, MG8. i can't be positive of this just yet.

someone mentioned this way back when on 4.2.2 iirc. they said it was prob the carrier and something needed to be fixed on their end. if not, i would try a full wipe if you didn't, including format /system in mounts and storage

Actually, an update to this. My MMS did go through - it just took forever. Something along the lines of 10-15 minutes.
