ahhh, that's too bad.

there could be a reason for this,

depending on what recovery you are using and what you do for a full wipe.

not saying you don't know what you are doing..

don't think that.

just commenting. :cool:

but I also fully agree, every phone is the same (SG4) but very different and runs differently for everyone.

But my main features as a DEV are that I am attentive, and when a bug is posted I like to squash that ASAP.

Kind of an OCD thing, lol

So hopefully there won't be any more problems with the phone as I'd like that main feature to work, :)

sorry for the slap in the face

you know, i have read everything. it wasnt apparent to me what the extras from me7 to mdk that youve added. ive been on an s4 for two weeks total now and been on these forums reading hours a day everyday to absorb as much on the device as possible. im on my phone for my job most hours im awake, so sorry i wanted to be sure, without losing my time, that i what i had read was going to be agreed would work for me. ive been a member since 2010 with little activity due to the fact you could have answered the question in the same amount of words without being condescending. droidforums and droidxforums where ive previously been in and out of where never as rude as the devs and senior members are at xda and the search engine is a pain in the ass, hence why new members jump into threads looking for direction. sorry there is no android-ROM-for-dummies.com that new people can get into the modding world. im not new to it just havnt been into it since the razr maxx first was out. if i asked alot of stupid questions in a row i would understand your irritation, but i asked once with all my pertinent info to alleviate back and forth posts. thanks for your gracious answer ill pass on your work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
hmm weird. I had issues with 2.6 and hanging on the TWRP splash screen and went back to the stable one in the forums, that may help for you but it shouldn't be the issue as you are wiping correctly.

Excuse me but ya know what? Don't call me condescending because you CHOSE not to read the OP. Which is expected of you long time members.. you aren't new.. As you said, from 2010, so I would except you to know how to use the search function here, but that isn't needed to read the OP (Opening Post) in-case you are unfamiliar.

I don't have time to answer every question, that is why I spent that amount of time filling out the OP.

Instead of doing what I asked, which was to read the OP, then I kindly said I would answer any questions you then had. I have no answer for your first question except for what I already said. Please read posts #1-3 and then, if you have a question I'll gladly answer it.

You could have read the OP, and then came back with any questions, you decided to post a rant on how DEVs and senior members are compared to other forums. I don't really care what you think, but I wasn't mean, I asked you nicely. but no that isn't enough. May I hold your hand through the flash too?

I actually take the time un-like some DEVs to come and fix the bugs, quick, answer questions quick. Even in PM.

So the fact that you can't read the OP, and then when asked nicely to read it then come back you decide to call me condescending and then want to be a jerk and choose not to use my ROM because of it. That's fine. Everyone has the right to choose what's ROM is best for them.

But I will not answer a question as bold as your first one if you will NOT read the OP.

Bye.

I use Swing by Swing golf GPS and it works perfectly. Must be the Golf Logix app that is off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hondrongo:
So, just checking in here Andy. Had a friend get an S4 last weekend and was lucky enough to get the MDK. So I tell him after he roots to flash this rom for amazing stability and battery life. He decides to go with another, that shall remain nameless, I'm not looking to put anyone's work down. Needless to say after 3 days of comparing battery life and my lack of any FC or any other issues, guess who is now on BoneStock? Simply awesome ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CyberZion:
Hay Andy, is there anyway to get 3mint tools from the market to work with this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Protibus:
I use it with Bonestock and works fine. You need the 3minit 3.2.2 MGA framework with the services.jar file removed to allow GPS to work and the latest 3minit app from the Play Store. Here is a link to the modified 3minit 3.2.2 framework zip, services.jar removed.

http://db.tt/IXAuqMpw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CyberZion:
That work perfect.. The only problem is I can't change the status bar color or the transparency. Any idea's? :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Protibus:
Should be able to change it in the 3minit app in Colors & Images > Status Bar > Status bar color. I am trying out another ROM right now so I can't test on mine. There are a couple of things that still conflicted with ME7 but I don't think that was one of them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CyberZion:
Sorry to say, already tried that. No joy.. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Protibus:
Might have been one of those few things that didn't work. I wanted mine transparent and had flashed a separate mod for that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] athlonxp2300:
Andy, will this work on other s4 roms like stock tmobile?

Or can I use your rom on tmobile with this spell check mod?

Also goes this work system wide like in email, gmail, and docs to go etc? Or just mms?

I've been looking for this for T-Mobile s4 for months. I did it for my s3 (decompile and recompile) etc. I don't own the s4 but many friends do and asked for help. I haven't been able to get the files to edit for them and I wasn't able to make a flashable zip. Still so much to learn. Thanks so much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
I would need to port it to your ROM to your phone. Which I can do
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] athlonxp2300:
That would be great! From what I read it's too bad I can't use this rom on tmobile. Looks like you have done a great job.

What files do you want?

It may take me a bit. I don't own the phone. As you can see in the edited version of my post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bikoman1:
I do not know if others have experienced this. I have run 1.1.3 for the last couple weeks. Google Services was chomping the crap out of my battery so I shut off wifi/network in location settings, that helped, but it still seemed to use more juice than when I was on a MDK based rom. Restored back to an MDK based rom, update maps etc, all location options running and my battery rocks the way it used to. I think I will stay here for a while.

Any huge pros to going with the ME7 over MDK?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
YMMV (MDK vs ME7 modems)

Results vary from no change, slight, moderate,etc. You just need to try it and see for yourself. Andy has posted both in the OP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
[MENTION=2586080]andybones[/MENTION], I noticed something with dormant Mode if you have custom contacts to allow while it's enabled they get through if they call but no txts notification sound for those contacts allowed, I would think if they are set to bypass you would get a notification for text? I read up on it and couldn't find a direct answer if that would be how it worked.

Thanks again.

Rom running as u would expect it should run.

Flawless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spinwizard:
Got someone at GolfLogix support. He said it has to do with the GPS chip Sammy used in the S4 and the update. He told me how to fix it. So I'll share. I'll verify it works, this weekend.

"In order to make sure your phone is getting full access to the GPS function, please follow the steps below.

1) Go into "Settings" from the home screen on the phone and then press "Location Services", "Location" or "Location & Security".

2) Make sure "Use GPS Satellites" or "Standalone GPS" is checked and "Use Wireless Networks" is UNCHECKED. Alternately, you may have an item called "Google Services". If so, uncheck "Google Services", and all other options other than "Use GPS Satellites" or "Standalone GPS". If other options are checked they may be trying to calculate yardages, but are conflicting with each other and either no or wrong yardages are being shown."

Most important thing is, it's not the ROMs! :D Hope this helps someone else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] d0ppler302:
Curiosity

If I am running v.1.1 can I dirty flash to v1.1.3? or do I NEED to do a wipe prior to install?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
1.1 is MDK 1.1.3 is ME7, I would definitely do a clean flash.

Edit: I stand corrected, 1.0 was MDK, 1.1 on was ME7

Sent from a Galaxy S4... Far far away
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] d0ppler302:
I'm running 1.1 and its ME7. I flashed the modem and the notification bar MODs too to get it up to ME7.

That is why I wanted to ask. Because I know that just the 1.1 ROM was MDK without the modem file flashed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
The kernel and the rom are two different things.

You do what you think is best, but if it were me I would do a clean install.

every time I take a picture immediately following it does the "processing" thing on the screen for 2-4 seconds. It is really annoying! I tried to reset the camera from the settings of the camera app and clear data force stop. Any idea why it always gives the better images.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Addiso:
Just because you flashed a modem doesn't make you on me7, rom is based of mdk. Me7 and mdk are two totally different system/framework changes so flashing those things doesn't just bump you up to me7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Turn off auto night detection in camera settings.

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

You are right about the modem not making the ROM version, but just to confirm for others, from 1.1 on this ROM has been ME7 based.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
I'm pretty sure all versions of Bonestock is me7 based
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
v1.0 = MDK

v1.1 and above = ME7

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
Well finally got around flashing this ROM. Figured I try something new on my birthday. Hopefully this is the ROM I've been looking ever since I first got the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pschatz12:
Andy,

After testing out all the fixes and then restoring my backuo something has been messed up with my wifi...seems to be connecting and then disconnecting. ..I wioed and did a clean install and still getting the diconnect and connect...stock kernel stock rom nothing else installed...any ideas?

Edit... must have been the router. .. all good on different network
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TCM55:
Sounds like you have Auto Night detection (usually located on side quick menu), low light, or the hdr option on. Set the camera to Auto and ensure that the Auto Night Detection is off and see how it works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthony92170:
got a question how do you make changes to increase volume on rom which files and folders and how do you do it ty.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
So there's a problem with this ROM... I can't find anything seriously wrong with it. I'll keep looking lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Protibus:
No...there is nothing wrong with it at all. I veered off to try out a couple of others and came back almost immediately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
You guys are the best!

I am getting overwhelmed sorry I been distant, I got the HTC One yesterday,

so now I will be supporting SG3/SG4 and HTC One IF root comes.

I am rooted, but VZW locked it down faster than ever before.

Rest assured I will not leave you guys

(unless the boot loader doesn't get cracked and the note 3 comes out, I may sell this phone to get that one) honestly is best. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Thanks andybones. Hoping you can stay here but we'll understand if you need to move on. Good luck with the One. I just decided to move on from HTC for the time being.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Can't blame you.. I have some gripes with the HTC One, the power button, sucks...

and I wanted black, and VZW blocked root faster than any HTC phone yet I believe. If S-OFF or some exploit doesn't come than will dump the HTC One as well.. then I'd have some thinking to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] S_rob7488:
Problem solved. Thank you! I am pretty sure I looked at that setting numerous times but didn't think to change it lol dumb
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TCM55:
They still haven't fixed their power buttons? -_-

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ghostrigger:
Andy just have to say you would be severely missed if you moved on being that this is by far the smoothest rom I have seen.

ghostrigger on to the next show
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rwc95:
I'm assuming the note 3 will be locked down as well as every other Verizon phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
Don't abandon this Andy. This is actually the best ROM I've used yet. I would always fall back to Scott's CleanROM. This is pretty much everything I wanted since day one. Can't wait to show this off to my friends who haven't rooted their Verizon Galaxy S4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
I'm not abandoning anything guys.. just like when I got this phone I didn't abandon the SG3..

No removable batt or ext storage= deal breaker..been flashing roms and kernels for too long not to have the option to b able to backup multiples..thats why we chose Android and not Apple.. with all my music and movies. Unless they came out w a 64 gb storage, it wouldnt b practical.

If I flash this will I be stuck on ME7 Build?

Sorry if this a dumb question but I am running rooted stock mdk build and would love to go to ME7 but don't want to loose full root. I hope i didn't miss this in a previous thread saw one that said it was baked in. Just want to make sure I won't be stuck on ME7 if I want nandroid back to stock Rooted MDK. Keep getting insufficient space notifications and can't install busy box to move apps to SD. Even tried deleting apps same message... uhh Just wanted to make sure before I flash this good looking rom :) Thanks for all your hard work it shows!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
if you are rooted.. AND

with a custom recovery..

download the ROM..

and flash like any other ROM..

:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Yes Rooted and with TWRP Recovery. I know before once you went to ME7 you were basically stuck on it. So just wanted to make sure i could revert back. :) Thanks so much for your quick response. Any Idea on why I would be out of memory as I can't download any updates or apps says insufficient space

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
YES I have an HTC One!

I've been wanting it for many months, since it was leaked..

who ever is going around saying I am leaving better stop now.

I own 3 devices, SG3/SG4 and now HTC One, the One has root for like 10 ppl, so I am not even using that phone it's off and in the box still...

I will tell you if I am stopping development, I don't just up and go

and another thing

I don't owe anything, to anyone in the forum. I have given more than enough of my share, so it hurts hearing this B**SH*T

IF I wanted to go to the HTC One and stop development here that's MY choice and MY decision, but getting PMs saying that people are talking behind my back because I bought a phone I've wanted for a long time..

I don't think I deserve that..

When I got my S4, the S3 people didn't give me crap, they encouraged me and said good luck, I hope you do well there and can still update this as much as possible (which I have)

If I didn't care about this community, this would be enough for me to leave the S4, sell it and go back to the S3

rant over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
No idea what's up with some folks but most here are very appreciative andybones. What have already done has benefitted many. If there is more to come, great, but that is your decision and really none of our business. I wish there was some way to silence the nattering naybobs.

Thanks for all you do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
It just drives me up a wall the way people EXPECT things from me.

Like PMs,

it's like, I have a MOD I want done, let's PM andybones.

why me?

even so, I help them..

then to get bashed for buying a new phone?

after all the work I brought to this community..

I am not going anywhere, like I said before, I'd let you guys know, I have done my part if I want to leave I will.

but please people, you have an issue, take it up with ME,

not thru others who are going to tell me (cos trust me they do)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rajones19:
Are there Quiet Hours settings on this phone/ROM?

First off - Andy, don't let the bastards get you down. We all value your efforts, and I for one am happy to know you are sticking around - especially since I just bought this phone a week ago LOL.

My question is this: It seems like there is some sort of Quiet Hours function on this phone, or possibly the ROM, and I cannot locate it. Every night while it's charging, data seems to be turned off completely. When I get up in the morning, as soon as I access anything internet-related, a small flood of emails comes down, most of which are time-stamped hours earlier during the night. I don't have any of the blocking features enabled, and cannot seem to find any settings related to quiet hours or anything like that. What the heck am I missing? I don't much care if the data works during the night, but I really want to make sure the phone part functions 24/7. I have a new grandbaby due sometime in the next few weeks, and I don't want to miss that call!

The only other issue I've experienced is one I posted about earlier, which is the insistence of the stock keyboard to come back and replace the 3rd-party keyboard I typically use (Thumb Keyboard). Battery life has been fantastic (especially coming from the Gnex, and the device is a little rocket.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Do you have any battery saving apps installed? I know some of them use this strategy. I got rid of the ones I tried as the battery seems fine without them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rajones19:
No, never messed with those - although on the Gnex, the temptation was great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brw9100:
You know I value your work and hopefully my donation reinforced that! Don't let the idiots get you down with their talk. You have the right to do as you please, to build and support ROMS as you please. Nobody wants to see you leave this ROM behind but that is your choice. And I know you will come right out and tell us if/when that day comes. And then we'll be jealous because users of a different phone will have the benefit of your great work. Until then, thanks for this great ROM and keep up the great work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
thank you very much for the donation!

you users are the ones that keep me going, I would be doing this stuff anyway, I am just sharing it.

I know others that know how to unlock boot loaders and build their own stuff and not for public.

I ENJOY what I do for the communities very much, which is why I take some things personal.

I call tell you all this,

this phone and any others I work on, will be supported until

1) we KNOW that boot loader unlock is NOT coming

2) a newer phone comes out, if it is able to be rooted, I will sell this phone for that one

3) it's not fun for me anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Well, that may have been my best shot.

You might try long pressing on the Blocking Mode. Turn it on, explore the options - maybe even fiddle with them and then turn it back off. I know there was one version I installed where I had to turn the home button to unlock on and then off to get it off - just a shot in the dark.

Are you sure calls are getting blocked and not just data? Have you found any pattern, like time it shuts off - will it turn back on by itself?

Sorry, more questions and experiments than solutions. I know I have the normal emails I get from work waiting for me first thing in the morning so I'm pretty sure mine is always active - might to too test it though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
I got so excited when I saw 1.1.4 lol. You tease! I don't know if it is something other devs do, but on some other roms, jbeitels battery icon breaks system ui and fcs all over the place. This is before and after me7. Do you know what causes this and if your future 1% battery mod addition you mentioned will have the same issue? Either way I'll live with it. You can expect a little something in your PayPal later on tonight as well ;)
