I just did a full wipe and clean install,didn't restore any TB apps yet,went to Play,downloaded Google Search & when I open it,after I I click YES,I'M IN it FC's. I always download to PC then transfer to phone.Think I may try 1.3.

I really want a stock ROM. :( but,I rely on Google Now allot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
I have google now. No issue. I know the play store had issues a week or so ago. With corrupt downloads. Android police. Com should have a mirror for it. Try that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 3volution:
Still FC.

1.3 gives me Google Now FC too.

Dang.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Dunno some will gave to chim in
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
That's a bummer.

Maybe try the following first:

Clean Wipe 3X

Install 1.1.4.

Reboot

If this doesn't work there might some trace data corrupting something. Do you have a stable recent Nandroid you can restore?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] athlonxp2300:
I read a similar problem in another forum. The guy wiped "system" also before flashing. Then after flashing the rom, installed a inverted or blacked out version. Then updated from playstore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
recent battery screen shots

Very light use, WiFi 100% time always in good signal and stock battery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drbveb88:
Crazy battery life bro!! No where near that but loving my battery life anyways!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
I also de-bloat like craaazy

anything I don't use I don't have installed, no social media apps, I sue it for web browsing, music, and phone calls mostly, camera when needed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1Raiders:
Awsome!

Do you debloat any system stuff thats not needed?

Thx

E
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hondrongo:
Not as good as yours Andy, but I have a few hours of Pandora streaming and about a third of the time was on 4g. Not comparing though, best battery life I've ever had on a smartphone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Very weak amount of "thanks" in the OP compared to download # :D

On a side note I finally figured out how to get the AOSP lock screen vibration toggle to operate and NOT have to have the soft key haptic feedback as well.

Will be updating FAQ with how-to
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] artjrv:
Hi Andybones

Yes I checked. There should be a facebook program that comes already loaded with the rom. this program allows what intervals items should be synced. It also allows us to sync the facebook galley which the play store Facebook only allows contacts to be synced with no way of setting intervals. Sorry to bug you with this but I dont know any other way of getting such a program since its not available in the play store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
No, no bug at all. This one I believe I know as the SNS.apk, and can easily add it into Aroma for the next release and attatched is a flashable.zip for the meantime. Please let me know how it works. Flash it then clear the cache/dalvik. :cool:

It was the Books I'm confused about, as the only books.apk I know of is the Google one found in the play store..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hondrongo:
I can confirm this. v1.1, full wipe, stock kernel, no mods or anything. I have had no problems with incoming or outgoing calls.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Many thanks for your input, Sir!

This makes me very happy to be hearing this! :good::good::cool::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pschatz12:
I just had it happen again...I dialed out and it rebooted... Stock kernel new baseband... Calls are very suspect
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hondrongo:
No problem, input makes things better. Unless it's "Yes you do look fat in that dress". There is no help for that

I am loving this ROM. I have thanked the OP and donation is sent.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Something is going on, because we have multiple confirmations of it working correctly.

Certainly not saying it isn't happening and isn't a problem on your phone.

Also I thought this was for incoming calls? This is now happening for you on both outgoing and incoming now?

Think you could flash the darkslide ROM and see if the issue happens for you there as well, since this ROM was based off that one.

I just have no idea what else I can do besides offer that stock SecPhone.apk that I already did.

It could even be a rouge app..

Thank you kindly Sir!!,

was just about to post to those who donate please either post in here or PM, or leave your XDA name in with the donation so I can appropriately thank you, because other wise I have no XDA name.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lancem71:
Does anyone know if jbeitels stasus bar mods work on this ROM? I have been running then on clean ROM. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
This ROM's SystemUI.apk is HIGHLY customized compared to CleanROM, do NOT flash it unless it is a VR theme, and even then may not work..

ESP. since v1.1 is ME7 based.. and cleanROM is MDK..

SystemUI.apk is very different between the two.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lancem71:
Ok. Thanks Andy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mp3sum:
No problems yet, 12 hours in having made and received ~15 calls. Still on the old baseband.

And without kies battery life is ridonkulous.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Just got permission from Vertumus for the AOSP theme port.

that is something that is going on the to-do list. I really miss me some AOSP lovin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] artjrv:
Thank you andybones that facebook program u provided did the trick!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Thank you, Sir!

These confirmations really help guys.

Hopefully with all the information I can find maybe a pattern for what is going wrong for those having this issue. Could be something as simple as an app.

Very glad that all is going well, hope to hear the same in the upcoming days :)

Can't wait to start adding in some new goodies, and working on a simple blue and the AOSP theme.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] artjrv:
Oh that samsung book app is called story album.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Thank you for the confirmation, I will be adding this to the list of to-do to add into Aroma for the next release. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
I need the .apk found in system/app

without the .apk I can't provide it, and there is nothing called StoryAlbum or close to it (doing a quick search though I think it might be blurb.apk but thats not in the ME7 base either), I did look in the MDK base and found something called StoryAlbumWidget.apk, but this I assume.. is a widget.

So there must be an .apk it may have been taken out though from darkslide. I need to get ahold of the OP and try and get all the debloated .apks that were removed.

EDIT: PMing gatesjunior to hopefully get the removed ME7 missing .apks

but in the meantime here is MDK story album..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mikekid7:
This happens to me too. But its only if you change the volume on the earpiece it locks up then hotboots. Im going to flash the music mod you made then report back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawnten:
Been running this ROM all day and I have a weird lag especially typing. Its almost impossible to type cause of this lag. I was hoping it would settle down but it hasn't. Anyone else having issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
many many apps, lol

like twitter.apk

facebook.apk

i get rid of it all.

I just dont use it, ya know?

I used to back few years ago when I was in college and what not but they don't appeal to me anymore, if you don't have my phone number then we usually aren't talking anyway haha.

I do however use Twitter on my CPU, nothing else though

for being on pandora and 4g is looking dang good! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] athlonxp2300:
Andy, if I modify secsettings.apk and framework2.jar for a different rom to enable the red underline spell check will I have to do it again every time they update the rom? Or do these two files usually remain the same?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amghoon:
I did a fresh install of 1.1.4 and about 3hrs later it hung on the "Samsung Galaxy S4" boot screen. I did a battery pull and went back to 1.1.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
I dirty flashed 1.1.4 over 1.1.3 and just like 1.1.3 it's been rock solid for me.

No issues what so ever.

Love this rom!

Sent from a Galaxy S4... Far far away
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
depends of if the dev updates those files. which is a good chance they do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] matt1733:
just dirty flashed version 1.4 and added the circle mod with transparent pull down I'm really loving the spell check in the latest version this is still my favorite me7 rom thanks Andy!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
props to you bones

anyone want a good read

http://galaxys4root.com/verizon-gal...rom-for-verizon-galaxy-s4-sch-i545-me7app2sd/

also I think I may go and buy a Galaxy s3

bones s3 rom looks fantastic

thanks andybones for your devotion and hard work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mexiken:
Is anyone having issues with NFC on the latest build???? I'm not sure if it's because I didn't do a data wipe (from esrlier Bonestock) or the build or maybe the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Dumb Question

I want to flash this rom but I am not sure what to pick. If I flash the the ME7 Rom will I be able to revert back? Just don't want to get stuck and not be able to revert back. I believe You have answered this I looked through the first 50 pages people (doesn't change the baseband <--- which means it would still be mdk right?) asked but I didn't get a answer that I understood I guess I am running Stock Rooted MDK Build. Would love to be able to move apps to sd with ME7 along with better raido. Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sulla65:
You can flash any ME7 rom while on MDK. It doesn't lock your bootloder or anything like that if fllashing a ME& rom while on MDK. . You'll be still be on MDK, but you'll get the ME7 radio and everything else that comes with ME7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Awesome Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Addiso:
Incorrect, it's a full me7 rom. Me7 roms are safe to flash because sbl and such are removed when devs give out stock de-odexed roms as bases.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drbveb88:
Incorrect. Flashing this rom gives you a Me7 Based rom. It will upgrade your camera firmware along with other percs. It does not pack the new radio with it, you have to flash the new radio if you want it. Bones has both radios in the OP.

You can flash back to mdk roms if you want but once you run this rom there is no need to go back!!

Andy has this rom running beautifully with a very stock feel to it. Tremendous battery life and ultra smooth. Give it a go it will not disappoint!! :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Just an update that I did

not

encounter any roaming over the holiday so no testing to report.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wired4Fun:
Very smooth ROM. GREAT battery life!

Now I just need a little guidance on figuring out how to eliminate the battery icon in the status bar. I can't seem to find it anywhere in the settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Flash the battery mod from the OP. One of the choices is to remove it. I had to ask as well when I first installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] athlonxp2300:
I edited the secsettings. Apk and framework2.jar for a T-Mobile rom. Got lots of warnings but no errors.

Would it be safe to replace these 2 files in your flashable zip and use it on tmobile s4 or are the partitions different? Thanks.

I wish other devs added this to their roms like you. Almost enough to make me want to switch carriers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
I would just make the MOD for you for your ROM.

get this taken care of. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] athlonxp2300:
I really appreciate that. I was able to make a working version for stockorama v2 but I pushed the files. I didn't flash them. I made what I think is workable for darthstalker v7. I just used jovy's volume mod zip to make my spell check zip.

I know you are busy and it is not fair to pull you from your roms. I will only bother you if I can get the stock files for the latest m919. I still have to root his phone and pull the files. You are great Andy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Awesome!!

thank you VERY much for this feedback.

now I'm back to thinking it's something the user is not doing "wrong" but "differently".

Trying to find that difference though, could be a large issue.

Also, much hope for the new bootstrap recovery!

finally get some more users in here!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 93foxgt:
Users? I think we are more like addicts. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
hahah,

Hopefully in a good way!

I don't want to be feeding a bad addiction :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 93foxgt:
Its all in good fun. Love this ROM. Best touchwiz based ROM for s4 bar none.

Well.. I broke my first ever smart phone screen today :( (I had a decent run, HTC Eris, Inc1, Inc2, Rezound, Inc4, DNA, SG3 - I guess 7 isn't my lucky number anymore, ha)

digitizer should be fine as the screen still works.

I don't have the $106 to get it fixed.

I am considering buying the $6 screen and attempting to do it myself, but the potential of ruining my phone and not being apart of the community anymore is too hurtful. :(

At a loss, I really don't want to leave this great community :crying:

I'm happy I was able to meet all you great members, and was able to get the blocking mode and call message block ported and released for everyone.

It will be very sad not having this phone anymore.

I will still try and keep this ROM going, but building blind is like trying to color in the lines in the dark.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hondrongo:
When I get paid tomorrow I will happily contribute some more for the repair bill.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
I don't even know what to say right now, you guys are simply amazing!

You guys just turned one of the worst days into the best!

thank you [MENTION=2026779]gadget![/MENTION] for the $25 and thank you [MENTION=4463349]Unicorn512[/MENTION] as well for the $25

that is so generous of you guys and I can't even begin to explain how much this means to me, I am speechless.

I am trying to find the best place to get the screen replaced at the best price, does anyone have any suggestions? I can't find the one place that was offering for $106, but I can't imagine it being much more than that!

If anyone else is able to donate thank you so much you have no idea what this means, I was so horrified when I dropped the phone, I tried sticking my shoe out to break its fall, but was too late. :(

I have hope now that I will be able to get this screen replaced!!

I never expected this guys, and seriously I am just speechless, already half way there and only been a few hours!!

you guys seriously mean the world to me and it broke my heart having to post what I did.

just thank you guys. so much

if anyone can point me to a legit site that will replace the screen for me so I can get an exact price that would be amazing!

I am not sure if Samsung would be the best and cheapest route to go, or a side company that knows what they are doing and can do it for a better deal.

As you guys know I've never had to deal with this, so if anyone has any experience with any places it would be highly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stauf99:
Glad to see that gorilla glass 3 kicked in....

I wouldn't send it to sammy, they may give you a complimentary upgrade to ME7 :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Good point I found the site I was looking at, they seem legit, $109 for the screen replacement, and I assume it's only the screen and not the LCD since the touch screen and buttons and all work fine, just a crazily cracked screen, and some bezel damage that I can live with

http://www.daytechrepair.com/samsung.html

If anyone has anything they can help to donate it would be so greatly appreciated, I started a separate section in the OP for donations for this specific cause, already half way there!

You guys have made this my home and welcomed me with open arms, I really don't want to have to try and continue the work without a phone. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Thank you so much, Sir

already half way there,

anything anyone can give I thank you so much in advance!!

I think the site that does it for $109 is legit and the best way to go, unless someone knows of a better repair service???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drbveb88:
Count me in!!! It would be a great loss to the community and fellow s4 users if they didnt have your rom and support.

Hope it gets fixed quickly for you!! :thumbup::D:D

Edit... Sorry Andy I didnt see the new section in the OP..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
I can't believe how fast you guys are doing this for me I am so speechless and tears are honestly rolling down my face.

already saved

thank you kzoak82 and rickt1152, for the latest donations,

$20 more and we have reached the goal for that one site!!

I would like to look around and hear from others who have done this the best place to get this fixed, the site I found seems legit to me, but their is no place to like place the order :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
EDIT: ok so this site it a little bit more, but at $130 it seems much more legit site.

http://www.repair-iphones.com/smart...izer-glass-and-lcd-screen-repair-clone-2.html

do you guys think this is the best one as well?

also if you guys can still donate it would really help as I was thinking it was $40 less

I am seriously speechless and tears are in my eyes I can barely see what I'm typing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drbveb88:
Looks as legit as get its. Saw some reviews that were very good.. (7 of them...take it with a grain of salt)

Kudos to the community for helping Andy out with this!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Thank you ALL so much,

I AM considering taking the 4 hour drive each way to go and wait for them to fix it, apparently it only takes about a 30 mins.

Not sure if I really want to drive 8 hours, esp with gas prices, but this site does seem very legit, YELP.com gave them 4/5 stars, it's $129.99 + $5 to be shipped back to me + whatever it costs me to ship to them, so I estimated $150.

I have $110 right now!

We're so close and I can't thank you all enough!

I'm honestly speechless.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
absolutely!

can't leave the ME7 ppl hanging :)

best bet as I never had a Moto phone and no idea what this is.

is to make two versions,

one for safe strap people

and one for us. :)

I have an HTC One, and I am more anxious to get my S4 back!

I like my HTC One, but I LOVE my S4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kaos2569:
Just a question about the center clock. When I switch to it, the font becomes smaller and turns blue. Not a complaint by any means, just wondering if there is a "easy" way to resize it? I asked this in the Q and A section and no one seemed to know.

This ROM is perfect in every way-especially battery life!! Not one single issue since I loaded it the day I got my S4 in July.

Thank you Andy!!

I paid a $35 restocking fee and exchanged my 2 day old 16GB S4 for a 32GB S4 which cost me an additional $50. JTC...the 32GB of topic is the internal storage capacity on the device. I purchased a 64GB ext/SD for $49 several months ago...

I can't get the MD5 to match what's in the OP. I've downloaded twice and gotten the same incorrect MD5. Download speed goes from SLOW to FAST back to SLOW to FAST...overall download speed is pretty good, not sure what's going on with all the speed increase/decrease stuff. The MD5 I keep getting is D14145263EC91B1E339EQA7E624FOE02. I haven't followed every post here but I've read most of it, the "mirror" says uploading...is it still uploading? THANK YOU!
