[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
I can't say what's up with my battery life just yet. I just flashed around lunchtime. I have the Palm Touchstone wireless charging coil and it does seem to be working but it also seems to charge a lot slower than the USB cable:

I do have a problem with this in that, on this ROM, after I boot the phone, I seem to get these "soft reboot" events instead of wireless charging when I place the phone on the charger. After running a while, this issue seems to magically go away. I'd REALLY like to figure out why this is happening. I think the workaround might be to plug the phone into a USB charger once after reboot and then unplug and after that it'll work with the wireless charger.

I found something really awesome that I can use with the Palm Touchstone wireless charger....if I install an app called "Stay Awake + widget", then I can have the phone screen automatically light up and stay at full brightness whenever I place the phone on the Palm Touchstone wireless charger. When I take the phone off the charger, the normal screen timeout take effect and the screen dims and goes black normally. This app will keep the screen on at full brightness even in lock screen.

I installed cLock and I'm using that as my lockscreen widget, which is awesome because it shows the clock, weather, appointments and battery status:

I LOVE that I have 3Minit Framework 2.6 and Settings 2.6 now!!! I also have nottachXposed (nX with XposedInstaller) and it works as well though I'm not sure that it adds anything beyond what I can already do with 3Minit. The "ROM Control" thing also seems to duplicate settings I have available in 3Minit and nX. The options to skip music tracks with long-pressing the volume buttons from all three of these MOD apps don't seem to have an effect on my preferred player "Music (Remix) by hedami":

This setting in any of the apps only seems to affect the native "Samsung Music" app. It doesn't even work with Google Play Music.

Also, as I've stated before, I have yet to find any ROM on this S4 that allows ViPER4Android to get "Processing: Yes" on the first music player, regardless of which player I use. I'm on the current version of V4A FX 2.2.1.0 under "Normal" mode, and in order to get the effect of this MOD, I ALWAYS have to start playing music in one app and then "interrupt" that music by playing music from a second app. The apps I chose make no difference. The behavior of V4A is consistent. So for now my workaround has been to set "HeadsetIcon" to automatically open Google Play Music when I tap the notification icon, then I click "Play" and then pull down the notification area again and tap "Music (Remix)" from the "Recommended apps (Earphones)" list. In this way, I can always get my music processed through V4A. Because of the long-press volume track skipping issue, I start playing music first with Google Play Music (no V4A processing) and then I pick "Samsung Music" instead of "Music (Remix)" and then I can track skip while riding my bike.

I have another issue with both v3 and v2 of Pacs Custom ROM in that my "Samsung WatchON" continually wants to be updated through Play Store. I believe I dropped it into /system/app. Does anybody know why this thing wants to be updated constantly?

I haven't gotten into the Settings/My Device/CPU Control "Pimp My Rom" or the Settings/My Device/Cpu Info Display "Cool Tool" things yet. It looks like there's a lot going on with these so I'll have to get into them tonight.

Despite continuing to need a few workarounds, I'm pretty sure this is the most kick-ass ROM for the Sprint S4!

Settings/My Device/Cpu Control = "Pimp My Rom"
