1) not that brave without a restore to factory Dev package :rolleyes::eek:. I have my rooted / Philz-touch nandroid which I have tested including the restoration of factory recovery.img (works well) but I am just too chicken to take the plunge! Plus my wife would kill me if I bought another phone!

2) After rooting my VRUAMDK and getting to know the phone (I came from the Charge->GNex), I got the flash itch, especially with the OTA lock down. Read the whole Darkslide thread at the time and wanted to see if ME7 offered any more butter. Started out by flashing the ME7 modem to get to the new baseband as Verizon signal strength is very iffy (scientific, huh?) at home. Seemed to help so I flashed the whole Darkslide ROM (very nice, very stock). I let it stabilize for a few days and then flashed the Eclipse kernel which is where the phone is at now. Oh, I did add the GWallet mod, the E911 mod, the tether mod and so on.

When the Dev phone came off of back order I purchased one, went through the whole coupon fiasco, and actually waited about a week before the itch overcame me (it's kind of like digital psoriasis... Feels good to scratch but often leaves you red and bloody with a scaled skin). Used the time to do a bunch of reading, including the whole Bonestock1.1.3 thread starting with the OP. I really admire [MENTION=4694574]AndyB[/MENTION]one's philosophy, work, genuine helpfulness to his followers, and the speed and the stability reported (and now experienced). Plus I figured I could TWRP back to close to stock...

3) Not yet. That's why I was asking the user base which combination of kernel plus modern was working well. Even though Bonestock1.1.3 is a ME7 based ROM, I don't think that stock Bonestock1.1.3 changed the baseband.

BTW, I am not unhappy running with either the Elite kernel or the KT 8-9 kernel. I just like to listen to [MENTION=4694574]AndyB[/MENTION]one's suggestions.

If I have not said it before, [MENTION=4694574]AndyB[/MENTION]one you ROCK and Bonestock1.1.3 is just the bee's knees outstanding! Thank you for your work!

But sorry for hijacking the thread somewhat off topic?

HTH

I was having that problem too, but, and I hate to say it, after I wiped and re-installed clean it was fine. I haven't had a single issue streaming. I haven't used Pandora all that much, but TuneIn and Sirius have been working perfectly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] popkurn611:
Had anyone tried faux kernel? I had it on beans build 5 and it was great
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hondrongo:
Yes I have this problem but only on Pandora, spotify streams fine while I'm tethering. I also did not have this problem on MDK. maybe it had something to do with not being able to use the ME7 kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] equake:
:good:

Apparently from the other thread there is good progress getting the Stock DE Recovery and Kernels available for Flash and ODIN so the only thing I see missing is the Radio and ROM although Scotts ROM can take you there I suppose.

My 2 cents
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
I'm so glad I'm on this ROM. There are horror stories going on in the Hyperdrive thread about the new release causing stability issues like nova launcher always crashing.

Makes me appreciate Andy even more!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tggl:
Thanks for letting me know it's not just me. May have to start using Spotify.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Never a competition for me anyway for users, other DEVs though FIGHT hard, make mean remarks and are pricks.

Not talking about anyway in particular but it pissed me off when I was just a user and made sure not to be that way when I learned some skills.

I just like to provide the best possible ROM, some DEVs just like to provide the most features, (which usually clash and cause stability and major bugs)

I choose stability, then features, also most fight for users for donations and such because so much time goes into this so they figure more features more donations. WRONG.

it takes more work to make a stable feature rich ROM, than a over-bloated feature rich non-stable ROM.

Not everyone understands that when you get home from work you grab a beer, watch TV, do your thing, I usually turn on the CPU and start work..

literally hours upon hours go into these things, I can tell you I've already spent over 10 hours on the AOSP theme and I am now dumping it. I have PrDog1 working on it, one of the best in the business, and I am going to give him a nice donation if he completes it.

so imagine the amount of time we spend, I did 10 hours just on something I won't ever get any use out of..

it's hard to know what amount of time goes into it when you just don't know, but believe me when I say, that it took me 30+ hours to port blocking mode, It's not a lie..

and that was just one MOD.

Other MODs are usually already done so porting doesn't take as long, but still MANY hours.

#rant over

Anyone play around with custom boot animations on this ROM. Particularly getting sound to work?

I've been trying to modify a flying TARDIS animation I used on the S3 to fill the whole screen, but when I modify the desc.txt file to 1080 1920 I get no animation whatsoever. I'm stuck with only 2/3 screen animation so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
I removed boot sounds.

Going to have to add the PowerOn.ogg back.

(and PowerOff.ogg) if want power off sounds
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] storm81456:
Thanks Andy, saw that.

I threw in a PowerOn.wav but that didn't work. Wonder if I can get away with renaming to .ogg. I'll try that a little later. Any idea why just changing the desc.txt in bootanimation.zip would kill the animation entirely?

This is the bootanimation file and the poweron sound I've been trying to get to work. I know the sound file isn't part of the install package, I've just been copying it over myself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stauf99:
i can't believe how good the native call recording quality is, but if i don't hit 'stop recording' and the call is dropped or someone hangs up, is the file still saved or not?

I don't think it is and if so that could be very inconvenient.... relatively anyway :laugh:

Roaming

There were some posts in the dev thread about issues when roaming and I don't think it was ever brought to a conclusion. Has anyone had either success or problems when roaming?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] storm81456:
There were some fix attempts posted but I don't recall a conclusion being reached. I haven't been in a roaming area to try to test any of the potential fix attempts.

I have been rockin Bone Stock since 1.1 currently and I'm currently on 1.3. I recently received a [Warning Recording Failed] when I tried to take a video in stock camera. Anyone experience this and/or know of a fix?

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ghostrigger:
Just tried twice. I didn't get the failure. How long of video did you try and take?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kaos2569:
Quick question if anyone else noticed this? I did not want to clog up the DEV section with such a minor thing.

And BY NO MEANS is this a complaint, just a question - Its MY OCD more or less.

The font shrinks a bit when I switch from the right side clock to the center clock. Is there a way to make it "stock" size for a non-dev type person like myself?

And still running PERFECT for me with crazy battery life. THANK YOU Andy for all you do!

Odd, the color changes as well. Never noticed as I don't normally have it displayed at all.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ytsud:
I flashed 3.4.0 Elite-kernel-g4202eb4 to fix the PIP problem in the main camera on Bonestock 1.1.3 and it fixed it just like Bones suggested, but the Rom was a lot faster with the original kernel. Wondering if I used the wrong one or if it's a trade off I have to put up with. Bonestock has got to be the smoothest bug free rom I can remember ever running. I'm running an SCH-i545 Verizon GS4 32GB. Thanks Bones for your very careful work on that great Rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ghostrigger:
Its a trade off like you figured.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] athlonxp2300:
Andy was helping me with spell check for tmobile stock rom but I figured I would ask here to see if anybody knows and take a load off him.

"when I looked at framework2.jar it was only 313 bytes and no classes.dex in it. There is another file on his phone called framework2.odex that is 5.5 mb.

Is this the difference on a odexed rom vs deodexed.

Is it still possible to edit the files?"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stauf99:
so i take it there's no perfect kernal yet?

has anyone found a fix for some of the things blocked from nottach xposed like the regular transparent notification bar or the full date being displayed there?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
odex is how the ROM comes stock.

we deodex the applications to make the 2 files into one.

you can't edit .odex files, you would need to deodex the .apk and then send them to me.

theres A LOT of info on deodex/odex online

until you get me deodexed files I can't do the MOD for you.

I also cannot deodex the files for you.

There is a ROM in your threads that must have a stock ROM base
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] athlonxp2300:
Thanks for offering andy. I wiped the stock system and installed darthstalkerv8 on my friends s4. It would be nice to have created a stock update.zip that would enable spell check on stock unrooted roms but I don't have time and you have way more important stuff.

It will be enough for me to get a thread going for aroma Touch wiz roms and have rom devs contribute as to what rom options are dependent on other options being installed too.

Kernel?

Has anyone found a good Kernel to get the camera functions(pip and stay) working? I know it says in the op a kernel is needed. Just curious if anyone had any suggestions. Thanks in advance. Don't want to install KT after reading through these threads seems like that kernel is having problems. Would the Kernel from the stock ME7 build fix this or does it have to be custom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Some have had good luck with KT. It seems to really be version dependent - and the phase of the moon - who knows. I think Elite also fixes the same issues. Also seen somewhere people saying that faux does as well, but not certain about that. Just nandroid and give 'em a try - nothing to lose but a little time. I've stuck with the stock MDK kernel myself as those features are not really that important to me but that may change.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
True will give them a shot you bring up a good point. I just always like to have stuff working. Was looking for the stock me7 kernel to try as well. I really dont have a need to over clock phone is fast out the box. But I like changing looks and styles so. Running stock mdk kernel as well thats why I wanted to try the me7 kernel but cant find it to save my life so guess ill try one of the modded kernels and report back. Like you said nothing but time. Anyways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
I have been using faux kernel without any issues and can confirm (at least on my phone) that pip and smart stay both work fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Awesome thanks you don't happens to have a link for that one do you? If not no worries I will google it. I have a lot of kernels but for some reason I don't have that one... Thanks for your quick response will give it a whirl when I find it :) Seems that is for sprint versions. I am on Verizon still looking to see if they have a verizon version that is compatible....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Appreciate that confirmation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
You can find it over here. There is also a thread in our (Verizon) original development section.

As for #3 i would take it back and have them swap it out. Mine only ever gets noticably WARM, NOT HOT, when i use my phone to screen mirror my slingbox app (slingplayer) to my Samsung TV to watch live sports (2-3 hours at a time). I can stream movies from my PC and watch full HD movies and my phone barely gets warm. There is an issue with some GS4's getting to warm/hot to easily. If your noticing it getting noticably warm just using your launcher something isnt right.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Made the switch yesterday. Roughly 24 hours and all is well. Haven't had a chance to test out PIP/stay/etc, but none of the issues I had on KT. If it stays like this I'll be buying the app(s) to support more development.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Need some help for some reason I thought I did it right but I keep getting this message. Any suggestions? Tried wiping delvik, cache, anf fix permissions but still comes up fixed the camera problems though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] T4rd:
It's too late now to take it back, but fortunately it has been fixed since I did the battery pull. If it ever does it again, I'll consider RMAing it.

Now the only issue she's having with it is using my old 32GB SD card that I had in my Note 2 before upgrading to a 64GB card. It's a Sandisk Ultra 32GB card and her phone keeps constantly saying that the SD card has been removed and that there are errors with the card. Yet it works fine in my Note 2 and on my PC and another 16GB card that I have works fine in her GS4, so it seems that the GS4 doesn't like that card in particular for some reason. I had a similar issue on my Note 2 with another 32GB card, but it was actually dying and I had to RMA it from Sandisk and all was well after that.

Also, regardless of what SD card I use, the freaking Media process (android.process.media to be specific) constantly scans the SD card and NEVER stops utilizing 100% CPU while it does it. I thought maybe after the initial scan, it would be good, but I seriously let it sit on charge overnight while it scans and when I woke up 8+ hours later, it was still maxing the CPU out and the phone was burning up. If I format the SD card, it stops, but then as soon as I start copying files over from my NAS or the phones internal storage, it starts back up again and murders the battery and turns the phone into a nice hand warmer. I've seen this process scanning before on my Note 2 too, but I've never seen it run for so long and I'm actually running a ROM right now that kills that media process before it can even start scanning. It seems that Android has a horrible method of scanning for media, it should only scan a directory as I'm looking in it, not try to cache/scan EVERYTHING in the background constantly. If anyone has any solutions for this other than rooting (which I may do if I can't figure it out), I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I am having this issue as well seems like any time you move it to the SD card the Icon will gray out a little while later and say that the app is not installed. I did the same recovered from Titanium but still can't seem to figure a solution out. I am running Faux123 Kernel (not over clocked version)

Is it the kernel that is doing this to the apps or is it the Format of the SD card?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
No idea the root cause. I've never moved any of my apps to the SD card. Also, on faux I don't see the problem at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
What format is your sd card in?

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

Guess I can try re flashing the kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
My SD card is 64GB exFAT. Have you tried not moving any apps to the card for a few days and see if it happens then?

Also, which version of faux are you using? I'm on 11m.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
No I haven't tried waiting a few days to move a app to the SD card as not sure why you would have to. I am running jfltevzw-faux123-011m-MEA Same one you are I believe. Can you tell me why I would have to wait to move something to SD? Sorry if that is a dumb question just never heard of that. Mine is exFAT as well. Thanks for responding and trying to see what it is :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
The reason is to isolate the issue. It could be related to moving the apps or not. The only way I know to find out is to hold off moving them for a few days. The last time I tried KT it took >24 hours for the trouble to show up. Just a thought on troubleshooting.

That said, you could always just try downloading and flashing the kernel again - can't hurt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
10-4 thanks for the explanation. Its been atleast 4 days so might reflash to see if it fixes it. Did you clear cache, delv, and fix permissions? Just trying to see if you flashed a different way. Also on your SD card do your APK files like Jenga show up with a android guy instead of the picture?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Honestly, I can't say for certain what I did. I don't think I did any clearing, etc. when I flashed faux - but again, not positive and that could be a path to pursue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Thanks again. I'll try reflashing when I get off and see what happens. If not didn't hurt and will ask Faux if he has seen this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Yeah, I was not the only one seeing this sort of thing on KT. Hopefully you can find something out. Please report back as you may not be alone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
