recieved this phone as a gift after my screen got cracked in a fall. but when i put my sim in it asks for a network lock control key, ive tried using an online service to get me a key but they said they couldnt generate a key for my phone.

ive been trying for days, i rooted it, tried apps, tried guides, odin, firmware,... now wondering if i have to downgrade something for it to work or for it to let me use it on any sim.

this was so much easier with my desire z and s-off method.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MysticCobra:
Just got the OTA update popup. Have looked around and it seems like user impressions are generally pretty favorable so far.

Aside from the update breaking root access (I'm staying stock, so not a deal-breaker for me), has anyone found any fatal flaws (app incompatibility, data loss/corruption, etc.) that might be a reason to NOT install the update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ciniob:
Right now, there is a work around the b loader to gain root. If u take the update, you winn not be able to root as u know.

That might not mean much to you right now. But let's say you see something like the expanded mini menu, and you want it. Well, you won't be able to root and install Xposed.apk after taking the ota until an exploit is discovered.

Leave the update to the rubes who are less then passionate about the freedom we have or ota.

Btw, apps to sd is any able to move the apk to sd but not the working app and it's data.

See below the pick of the expanded mini menu...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brycekerr:
I'd go for it if you don't care about root access. My wife installed it and it seems to be just fine... Maybe even a bit smoother than before but that's probably placebo

If you don't care about root then do it. I've heard it fixes a lot of the lag. That alone would make me do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Delakit:
Lag reduction wasn't thst noticeable but the improvement is there. Smearing is gone which is good. Notification bar has a new affect I like. Few new icons. I like it but not enough to take the OTA on my AT&T S4. Still running MDL on that one.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
My wife took it on her S4 and is very happy - zero issues, phone is snappier.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1nuta:
As much as I do want to see these improvements, I'm not willing to lose the ability to root and flash new roms. Here is to hoping a workaround is found soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MysticCobra:
Many thanks for all the responses. I did root my last phone and enjoyed the freedoms that brought. Would like to eventually root this phone, and I'm hoping that when I'm ready to do it there'll be a solution available for me, but if not it won't be the end of the world.

What I didn't want to do was the worst of both worlds: Apply the OTA and hate it, AND not be able to root.

Sounds like I won't end up in that spot, so I'll give it a shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cubarican84:
Why devalue your phone for some stupid update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MysticCobra:
Most people figure out by around the second grade that different people place different values on different things. One example of this is that there are about a zillion versions of Android and a zillion different versions of Android phones to use them on.

Right now, what I value is a stock S4. You value the phone differently. We can both have what we want. Isn't that nice?

You learned something today. Hooray!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s0m3f00l:
I think its hilarious that people come to XDA to talk about a stock android device.... If you want a stock android device on Verizon, Verizon has a website dedicated to the S4 its various updates... The fact that your here asking root developers if you should go stock is frankly ridiculous. I'm sorry if you don't like the answers your being given but if you don't want or need ROOT, why are you here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MysticCobra:
I am here because there are very knowledgable people here who push their devices to the limit. Many of these people also have friends or spouses with the same hardware but still in a stock configuration, and thus are in tune with the quirks in the stock software. Indeed, I got two helpful responses, so that alone justifies my asking the question here. Besides, there are plenty of questions on this general Q&A forum that have nothing to do with android development. "What case are you using?" "What extended battery is best?" Etc.

I rooted my last device and ran a variety of custom roms on it for almost two years. There were pros and cons to that experience. I expect that one day, if rooting my S4 is an option, I will want to do that, but I'm not ready to do it yet.

Is that really such a bizarre and alien situation that no one could possibly comprehend it? What is there about it that deserves derision or insult?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s0m3f00l:
It's not bizarre or alien. Just an odd place to ask the question. The fact remains, you are on one of the websites that pioneered root access and spawned countless custom ROM's, Mods and Apps. You come to this website to discuss how you don't need root and are going stock and have no need of root & then you don't like the answers that the very same people who value root and push the limit of their phones give. If it were any other "development website" or chat channel you would be banned as a troll and no one would waste anymore time than they already have.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] verygreen:
Since I guess not everybody keeps track on the development forum, I'll post it here too.

If you are unsatisfied with the volume you are getting from your Nook HD/HD+, you can use the app I just uploaded to make it quieter or louder, separate controls for headsets, speakers and earphones that survive reboots too.

by the way everyone i figured out how to mod lockscreen on LG stock roms, THEY ARE NOT located in framework-res like most roms, it's found in /system/app/lockscreen.apk if u need helping finding an xml for a specific lockscreen let me know
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
I get to this part and all it does is create a build folder in the systemui directory.... nothing else.
[LG Nitro HD] KronicSkillz:
interesting, i should have mentioned sometimes you don't have to build twice, but that might not have been the error anyways.

is there a dist folder after first build?

what version of apktool are you using?

i've never seen no dist folder except when the build doesn't complete.

are you sure that there wasn't an error that isn't a warning (the warning "no default translation x 2-4 is normal but if u have actual build errors that stopped the compile process there will be no dist folder, because dist is the LAST step in the process.

- if the xml you modded got compiled correctly, it's possible to impliment it by replacing the xml in the original apk with 7-zip, just check the xml in the build folder and if it's there u can try overwriting the original one in the original apk, we still need to get down to the issue with no dist though.

if you want you can try ziping the systemui directory you are trying to build, and post it here, i'll try compiling for you and see if i get errors, that way i can tell you if the problem is your apktool or an error in a mod you made.

if you do that i'll need your framework-res.apk and lge-res.apk, unless you are working on liquid nitro, i already have the framework for that rom installed if thats the case i just need the zipped systemui folder you are working on and i can see what's what.
