[Nexus 4 Android Development] Holcomb227:
I have no intention of starting a new thread. I encourage you to post my build here, even re-host it if you want. I'll work on a pure AOSP build, however AOSP is full of little bugs that were easy to fix just by adding and replacing a few things with GApps/OTA stuff. Example, I could give you a build that works fine on it's own, but if you flash GApps it breaks. And another build that is kinda broken UNLESS you flash GApps.

I'm sure I'll eventually get it right, it's just taking a lot of time to figure it out.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] itlnstln:
I will post your build here then. All the little crap with AOSP is why I prefer OTAs/modified OTAs. They seem much more polished, IMO. There are some very talented devs; however, that build solid AOSP ROMs that are just fine. Even then, I still like OTAs better.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] gpvecchi:
Isn't it kernel related?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Holcomb227:
Yeah, I've always liked OTA builds, I never realized you had to debug AOSP.

I should probably go through and make a detailed changelog.

-Edit changed my first post (the one you linked to)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] alexinc:
following this thread from the first minute and got more and more confused... :D

well, waiting for the latest jss build and closest OTA experience with all necessary fixes. ;)

btw: quick settings mod really works as an addon here? tried to install it on odexed aosp build but lost ui elements like soft buttons and system bar.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Holcomb227:
You nee a deodexed rom like the one in the first post. I haven't tried the mod but it should work.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] itlnstln:
Both of the mods I linked to here work on Holcomb's version; I'm using them now.

On the Quicksettings, you need to use the Deodexed with "H" icon (which is the one I linked to). If not, you may run into problems.

Holcomb227's build is pretty much dead on OTA. I think you will be happy with it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] alexinc:
but i thought odexed mods on odexed rom should work too... thats why i'm confused. there are odexed versions of quick settings and advanced power menu. or should those odexed mods are rom related so they only work on that special rom they were odexed?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] itlnstln:
Odex mods are device-specific; deodex mods are not (depending on ROM, device, etc.). In this case, the deodex version is not device-specific. Neither is the deodexed reboot mod.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] alexinc:
then just bring on the latest rom by holcomb227 with all the required fixes you did on your "original" version. ;) leaving a real great but odexed rom by show-p1984. :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] itlnstln:
That's what's in the OP. I added the BT and WiFi fixes already.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] alexinc:
see me pushing that download button pretty fast! :D thx booth to you!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] itlnstln:
OT: Does anyone know how to change the pulse speed of the notification light? Not with an app like Light Flow but through systemui.apk, framework, etc.? I'm not going to modify this ROM, but it would be something I would like to tweak on my device. The old Nexus S had a BLN tweak app that specifically did this. Light Flow is too much/heavy for what I'm looking for. I just want to increase the speed of the pulse and that's it. If I can make a flashable zip or something, even better.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] gpvecchi:
In latest Holcomb227 version, Talkback is installed as user app. Shouldn't be a system app?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Holcomb227:
It can be downloaded from the play store and lots of people never use it. I didn't see a reason to make it a system app.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ELB27:
A question: how to convert certain user apps from holcomb's build back to system apps? Simply moving the appropriate .apks from data/app to system/app?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] itlnstln:
Yes. I think Titanium has an option to do this from the backup/restore screen as well.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ELB27:
Thanks.. I know TiBu has this option but I also know that it has bugs in 4.3 (or am I wrong?)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] itlnstln:
I haven't experienced any bugs. There was some quirks with how it worked with SuperSU early on, but with SuperSU 1.51, I haven't had a single problem TiBu.

I'm not trying to be an ass; I'm genuinely curious, but why does it matter if certain apps are system or not?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ELB27:
Well, to me it matters because I don't want the adb backup which I usually use before wiping to backup these apps.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] itlnstln:
Fair enough. If you haven't flashed the ROM yet, the easiest thing to do would be to copy the apks from the data folder in the zip and put them in the system folder and delete the data folder. <- Don't do that; not a good idea. If you have flashed the ROM, I would try the TiBu fix.

I'll create a version with all GApps as system apps and post it in a little while.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] itlnstln:
I'm testing an all system app build now. If it works well, I'll post it this afternoon.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] itlnstln:
OP updated with a link for the all system app build.

Pulled the System app build as it was missing Music. Reuploading soon.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] itlnstln:
All System app build reuploaded.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] b00bs:
Thanks [MENTION=2910255]itlnstln[/MENTION]! But, I can't get HSPA+ signal sign, but it works though, or 4.3 indeed as it should like that ATM?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] itlnstln:
Stock, either OTA or AOSP, only shows H. H+ is a mod that many devs put in their ROMs. Your speed is still H+ though.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] b00bs:
No. I remember correctly that I was get H+ sign in stock 4.2.2 (that's why I'm asking). It's OK. Maybe there's something wrong with my carrier. :good:

PS. Latest version works great. Didn't have a single problem for me. +faux enhanced stock.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] cheesiepoof:
no tethering on 4G

Love the rom guys, everything works perfectly. One problem however, i cant get tethering working while on 4G, which seems to be a common problem on 4.3. Has anyone found a fix for this yet?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] itlnstln:
4G as in LTE? i don't know about a fix, personally. Then again, don't actively follow LTE as my HSPA+ speeds are pretty fast as it is and I want to keep AGPS (unless that's been fixed in a modified radio). If there's an easy, non-obtrusive fix, I can add it. In fact, I'll probably add the build.prop and apns.conf additions (for T-Mobile) to this ROM since they don't affect the functionality if someone doesn't want to use LTE. Radios and stuff people can do on their own.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] itlnstln:
Added a version with the LTE changes for build.prop and apns.conf. I flashed it and the .84/.33 hybrid radio with just wiping cache and dalvik and it seems to work fine and I'm getting LTE as weak as it is in my office. I looked at the settings.db with a SQLite editor and the network preference was set to 9 already, so maybe it'll stick better with it built into the ROM. If anyone has a way to make the change "permanent" in the ROM build, let me know and I'll update the LTE version.

EDIT: I realized the settings.db is in /data/data/ so there may not be an easy way to make the change permanent in the ROM without copying the db during the flash. Even then, it still might not work.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] samoechen:
Can the dialer interface be customized like gingerbread or MIUI to replace the stock?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] itlnstln:
No, unless you have a third-party mod you would like to use. This will be kept as close to a stock OTA as possible.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sarkozy:
There were never H+ icons in the stock SystemUI. That was an add on for custom firmware or perhaps a flashable .zip somewhere.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] itlnstln:
That's correct. I remember specifically MMuzzy having to add the H+ image in his ROM since AOSP/Stock didn't have it. He grabbed it from CM, IIRC.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] itlnstln:
I've been using the LTE version since this morning and it seems to be working well. I didn't have to do any modifications to get LTE to connect and it has been "sticking" on reboot. LAC seems to work, too, but that might just be something in my area.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] cheesiepoof:
Yes sorry I meant LTE.

Upon further use I'm finding I can't tether on either HSPA+ or LTE with this ROM. :confused: I flashed bpear96's "all in one LTE enabler zip" so I don't know if that contributed to the tethering problem.

Why LTE? In the U.S. I use my Nexus 4 with T-Mo and I'm happy to stay on HSPA+. Up in Canada where I am now, HSPA+ can be un-usable depending on what part of the province I'm in, so LTE is necessary, so I'm going to try and make do with LTE for now.

Anyone else able to tether with this ROM while on either LTE or HSPA+?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] itlnstln:
I'm able to tether on HSPA+. In fact, I'm doing it now. LTE is not officially supported for tethering I think. The LTE version of the ROM in the OP works well; however, it does not support tethering on LTE either.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Tantin:
I have a OTA system update showing up. It's 1.8MB and says 'enjoy android 4.3'

What should I do?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] itlnstln:
Woah, I didn't know anyone was still using this. I would not download the OTA. I would also look into using Holcomb227's ROM here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397543. I've abandoned this ROM as Holcomb is doing better work with his and it's essentially the same thing.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Tantin:
I might look into that but I doubt I'll flash something new before the KitKat release. I don't really need any of the custom rom features. This rom works just fine!

So thanks for your reply & rom!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ingenium13:
3G definitely works if you force WCDMA only (otherwise for me the phone always preferred GSM/EDGE). That said, you may have issues with having data at all, 3G or 2G. The only fix is having root and making a build.prop edit to enable adding an APN. I'm wondering if this was intentional on Sprint's part for some reason, or if it was just an oversight.

Some people have reported though that they didn't have to setup an APN and it just worked (I think the guy was in Ireland? It was definitely somewhere in Europe). Perhaps these SIMs somehow had an APN pre-configured that got pushed to the phone, but I'm not sure if that's actually possible or not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] testinguser:
So I happened to stumble upon this by accident, not sure if others can replicate. The phone switched to gsm mode and it would let me pick any network provider (previously they used to be grayed out). Oddly enough it wouldn't even find sprint (thought I was on GSM). I had to call sprint go back to stock and have them re-activate my device ##72786#. From what I can recall:

-- On MF9, install the latest samsung google edition rom by bdub from the android dev section.

-- Goto setting look for RIUM/SIM and NV. Neither were selected. Pick one.

Oddly enough I would have thought it would have listed some of the GSM providers if I was truly in GSM mode, so this would probably need to be flushed out more, but perhaps a start..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] h20wakebum:
I'm confused, had anyone else received this email when trying to unlock?

This email is intended to confirm that Sprint has successfully processed the unlock request for your Samsung Galaxy s4 Device.* In order for the device unlock to be completed; the device has to be connected to the CDMA Network or Wi-Fi connection for the update to finalize.

*

Once the update has been completed, please follow the steps below to unlock the device after you have the third party SIM:

*

Turn off device > Insert 3rd party SIM > go to Settings > More (tab) > System Update > UICC unlock.* You will receive the the update and it should change to GSM Mode.* *

* it's just strange that no one is able to get this to work.

They unlocked my phone but the SIM I have from Asia is not micro sui I can't test it.

Dies anyone know where I can get a foreign micro SIM in the states? I thought 711 Miggt have Mexico SIM cards
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] autoprime:
read thru my entire unlock thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2415587

the method you have mentioned is possible to unlock that way... but not all Sprint GS4 owners have a valid account with Sprint.. many users are overseas on other networks. Sprint will not unlock their phones. There are also some Sprint users who have received the email you got.. and Sprint swears theyve unlocked the user... but the phone is not truly unlocked. Sprint claims they can do nothing.

So the unlock method was for both of those situations. Also.. you can test the unlock using any sim.. even att/tmo.. you just wont get service. But if you pop an att card in.. you should NOT see an invalid sim error after you boot up. if you DO see the invalid sim error.. then the sim slot is still locked despite sprint saying otherwise.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] h20wakebum:
Auto, long time no talk!! I hope you've been well.

I'm going to run over to a att store later today (technically I could also get a sim from a 7-11, right) and test to see whether i get the invalid error.

If I do not... then i'm unlocked and don't need to do anything. If It does throw the error, then I'll use your method from the full post.

Sound about right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] autoprime:
hey man. can't complain. yourself??

and yes... sounds exactly right. keep me posted!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] h20wakebum:
Word!!

I'm doing alright, moved from Santa Barbara to Santa Monica last year around this time. Getting ready to head back to the Philippines for a few weeks R&R with the lady.

I'll let you know what happens. It would be nice to know that Sprint actually unlocked at least 1 phone right (but based off all the threads I'm sure they messed mine up too).

The Sprint rep I talked to did mention there is currently a bug with Samsung (Samsung is aware) that if you go overseas and purchase a sim that has text/voice/data... the data won't work. Have you heard of this?

She said it had something to do with "APN" something or other.

Just a heads up.

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

Of course sprint can't do something right...

I put in a friends T Mobile Micro Sim and sure enough it showed invalid sim immediately.

It would not even let me attempt sprint instructions to do the uicc unlock as I got an error (couldn't connect to network/internet) even though i was on wifi.

Looks like i'm doing your method ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] h20wakebum:
Auto- You are the man.

I used the method in your post, inserted a T Mobile SIM (USA) and didn't get an invalid sim error, and I could see the ICCID code.

In regards to the DATA... When talking to Sprint international, they mentioned there is a known samsung bug that basically prevents DATA from working on GSM overseas.

They said that if I intend to purchase a GSM chip with voice/text/data, the data won't work. They said samsung is working on fixing this. They also said it is effecting all devices. Does this thread: http://xdaforums.com/show...5#post44854175 talking about adding code to the build prop to edit the APN have anything to do with this?

First off... how would i know what to edit my APN to? Is that by region so I'd need to add code effectivly making it working the Philippines?

Thanks ahead of time!

**EDIT**

I found this post on Sprint- will this make it work?

http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/603225

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

Ok so i figured it out...

I found Offline SIM APN database PRO version.

This allows me to see the APN settings for Philippines, then create an APN file to use while overseas....

BAD ASS!!!!!!!!
