I posted this in the main thread but it went unnoticed. As with other users my phone over time ends up slowing down and lagging, well the most recent time it happened I decided to monitor cpu usage in dev settings, and what stood out to me was logcat was using a really high amount of cpu, much more than after the phone is rebooted. What I find most strange is I don't even have logcat installed, so I assume it is built into the rom. So to me it seems like thats what is making things lag. Thoughts or help?

Can I install this in the stock rom slot?

Tried restoring its data with TiBu, but *only* after I was unable to start the GMail app.

The TiBu backup was made from the stock MK2 ROM, not the old ME7 one.

How were you able to install from play store? When I bring it up there, the only option is "Open".

If I could uninstall/reinstall, would have tried that already.

Tried reflashing the ROM with just GMail checked, only wiping cache/Dalvik - no joy.

Thanks, though.

you need to uninstall gmail through a root explorer. it's under system/app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
As the phone's software begins to have more & more problems, the more numerous errors become, and logcat becomes more and more busy trying to keep up with logging them. Increased activity by logcat is just a symptom of the problems, not the cause. It is there only to help you spot the problems. Look in there for the "E" and "F" tagged entries and they will help you spot where the real problems lie.

I just noticed this today. When using Pandora on my phone and then having that play through my radio, all the info that is displayed on Pandora is displayed on the radio as well. When I flashed Hyperdrive, this no longer works. This is my first time running Hyperdrive, coming from stock rooted. Any ideas how I can get that info displayed on my radio like before?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dilligaf56:
That took care of it. Thanks!!

Has anyone found a way to enable lockscreen widgets on this phone if a PIN has been set?

There's no way to do it in the stock firmware, and apparently not under HD either, even if the AOSP lockscreen option is checked in Tweaks.

I miss my lockscreen widgets...had several on my Galaxy Nexus, even with the PIN lock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sushi-gee:
I had changed the color, however the opposite problem occurred. Some of the menus are dark in color.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
There's an xposed module able to do this :D

I like a light grey color. But any other color like red blue green will show up nicely
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Yes it can. I install every rom in my stock slot with no problems.

Hung up on boot sequence

CARRIER: VERIZON

DEVICE: SAMSUNG GALAXY S4, SCH-I545, jfltevzw

BUILD: MK2

ANDROID VERSION: 4.3

I've been trying to get Hyperdrive working on my phone but I seem to have run into the same problem as the posters in these two posts: from user cpiercew and from user ericerk.

After wiping, rewiping, and trying new Rom Slots, I get through the installation and on reboot I get stuck on "Beginning Android boot sequence." I've let the process run for 45 minutes on some tries. Also, if it's of any consequence, the phone gets very noticeably hot.

I thought it might be the Safestrap version so I tried going to 3.70 but that was a dead end. I also thought it might be an issue with the versions of Hyperdrive I was using but I've gone through RLS14, RLS13, RLS 12 S4 Final, and even RL12 S4 Safestrap build MJ7. I've downloaded 14 and 12 Final twice and still couldn't make any progress. I've also downloaded the MK2 modules twice and tried to see if that would help but that didn't do me any good either. I've even gone as far as doing a factory wipe on my stock rom.

Maybe I'm just burnt out (been trying to get this to work for the past 3 nights) but I haven't found anything that's been able to get me passed this with a Google search or on the forums here so far. I'd really appreciate it if someone could show me out of this. Thanks in advance all. Seems like you've got a good community going on over here.

TL;DR: I've tried multiversions of Safestrap, Hyperdrive, and the MK2 Modules but I still can't get passed "Beginning boot sequence."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dilligaf56:
Thanks!

Enabled the framework and downloaded this and a few other GUI modules. Lockscreen widgets now working :)

The 5x4 stock launcher module is present but apparently not enabled (as I still have 4x4 screens). Is there a check-box somewhere that I haven't found yet? I have checked in Tweaks and the settings menus.

I appreciate your work on this ROM! I'm very impressed. :cool:

mk2 wifi issues

So I downloaded the mk2 modules and flashed them over and over but can't get the Wi-Fi to work for the life of me.if you could help anyway I'd really appreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Try re flashing the rom then flash module and reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
flash them consecutively without any reboot in between

---------- Post added at 05:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 AM ----------

all your downloads were verified with the md5 checksum?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dougddo:
Admittedly, I didn't check either of the RLS12's, nor did I check RLS13. I did check RLS14, as well as the MK2 modules, and those checked out fine. I just ran them through again to be sure and yea, the md5 checksums match up.

I can provide any other details if needed. And thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] URBANDISCIPLE:
I Have 200MB STORAGE Left please PLEASE HELP Hyperdrive 14 Safestrap

I HAVE NO STORAGE LEFT PLEASE HELP Hyperdrive Safestrap

So I know . Im almost Postivite I did everything correct here but ill give the run down

Im on MK2

and Ive factory reset and unrooted multiple times to see what I did wrong

First I root my device

Then I install Safestrap I download the file to my SD card I believe and then just Install

Go to Recovery and change from stock and go to Creat in ROM 1

Move the MB to 3gb

Next I download my ROM to my sd card and Flash That

Then because I have to I download Kernel to SD card and FLASH that

Then REBOOT and is that all ?

I must be doing something wrong though because I have attached screenshots of everything that im seeing and SOMETHING IS WRONG

Give me a step by step or pm me or anything you have to and I will change whatever I must

SD card vs extSd card...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shpotik:
In your screenshots, I see the task manager(after you press and hold home button) your apps are organized in a 3d vertical position and to scroll you would slide left and right, and to close swipe up or down...I had that in release 8.1 and I liked it! Now in v9 its way different. The apps are 2d and you would scroll up and down to see all running apps and swipe left or right to close....is there a way to get the "3d vertical" ones on release 9? I hope I made myself clear...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
Yes select sense 4+ recent apps in aroma
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shpotik:
I'm really new to this...what is aroma? Can I get to it without reflashing the ROM? Thank you in advance

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

And if I have to reflash do I have to factory reset and wipe data?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
Boot to recovery and flash the rom like you did initially. The aroma installer will then boot up. Since your already on rl9 you can dirty flash it so no need to worry about FDR and wiping data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shpotik:
Thanks a lot!

---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

If youre talking about the slight gradient im not sure about removing that.

I am having a small issue with the stock headphones. While they are plugged in they work fine. Then I go to make a call and I hear nothing. I have to unplug am plug them back in and the sound returns. I have no other Mods installed. Using the stock optimized kernel. Thanks for the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] boysent:
Had to revert to 8.1. Keyboard kept reverting back to Samsung, nfc didn't work properly, nova theme icons wouldn't stick - would revert back to default, etc. Tried different fixes with dinner success, but more trouble than the extra battery life was worth in my opinion. I still think Mr. Breen makes the best roms and for a .0 release it's great. Hopefully 9.1 will fix all of these nits.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfgrrl:
Did you dirty flash? And did you try downloading the Rom again? This sounds like it might be related to dirty flash or a bad download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] boysent:
No, I did a full wipe, etc. And the Rom download seemed ok. Others have had similar issues as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfgrrl:
I've seen the NFC mentioned before but not the other issues you mentioned. I use Nova and icons are sticking for me, as well as I don't have any keyboard issues.

Have you tried re-downloading and doing another clean install? Just because the Rom download "seems" ok doesn't mean that a hiccup didn't happened and there is a small inconsistency with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] boysent:
I'm downloading a fresh copy now. Can't hurt to give it a try. Thanks for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfgrrl:
Sure :) Let us know how it goes.

VPN Issue

So I use a service that also has an app called Private Internet Access to vpn all of my internet traffic through a proxy. It used to connect just fine when I was running stock, but now that I went over to Hyperdrive I can no longer get it to connect, it just hangs when it tries to connect. I'm wondering if this is something other users are experiencing. I tried to connect on both wi-fi and 4g just in case the wi-fi I use wised up and blocked proxy sites. No luck on either network, anything would help, thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] paulg1981:

Hey sbreen. How's it going.

I was just curious why your launchers don't seem to work for other Roms from your aroma installer?

FYI

Edit: Switched to Nova Launcher (which I had used before on my Galaxy Nexus) - highly recommended. It allows you to tweak the home-screen setup in pretty much any way you want, including the grid size, margins, etc.

Touchscreen Not Recognizing Touches

Hey guys,

I have been searching XDA forums for a few days about this issue and no one seems to have run into this. My issue is my

S4 touchscreen stops recognizing my touches but the hard keys (lock button, home button, volume button) are recognized when pushed.

To temporarily fix the problem I had to take my battery out and restart the phone because I was unable to use the touchscreen. After restarting the phone and having it on for a few hours the touchscreen stops working again. I am curious to see if anyone has had this issue and if anyone has a permanent fix.

My build:

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4 VZW (i545)

ROM: RLS14 Hyperdrive

Baseband: MDK

Kernel: 3.4.82 ktoonsez@ktoonsez-VirtualBox #1

If anyone needs more information about the phone to make a better analysis please let me know.

Thanks for taking a look.

-Max
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Have you tried the other kernel? Talexap

I'm running the same set up as you except the kernel.. Same carrier same hard ware. MDK. Oh I did flash the mk2 modem in return my daseband is Mk2

And not one glitch..

Give it a shot. Can't hurt
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuzzywarbles:
I am having an issue that I was hoping someone could assist with. I have rooted devices before, galaxy s3, motorola droid x, and the original droid and have never had any issues.

I had the verizon model I545 galaxy s4 and MJ7 build. I used saferoot to obtain root and safestrap 3.71. I also installed ODIN 3.07. I was able to boot into recovery mode just fine, create a new ROM slot and install RLS14. My wifi would not work until I also used safestrap to install jfltevzw-MJ7-modules. At this point everything worked fine. No issues for 4 days and was loving the ROM. I could use safestrap to reboot to recovery no problem. But then I let it lose power.

Upon plugging it into a charger I found that it would just show the empty battery sign and then reset and show that symbol again. I was unable to get it to boot properly. I used the volume up key and saw the blue text "booting recovery" but then it just power cycled and came back to the empty battery sign again. I tried all combinations I could think of but couldn't get anything to work. I was however able to use the down volume button to get it into odin mode so decided to flash emergency stock recovery.

I then used ODIN to install the stock ROM (SCH-I545_VZW_1_20131023084910_v4vth34m5z_fac.zip) and the install finished correctly but I am still having the same issue.

Now it seems that I cannot even ODIN anymore this morning (wont open serial connection).

I verified all checksums on my downloads before using.

Any thoughts?

Could a mod delete this? I made a separate stand-alone post for this issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dougddo:
Hi, I'm still having problems since posting here, a page back.

I've checked the MD5 sums on my roms and they all match up. I've also tried selecting the Ktoonz kernel during installation and that hasn't helped either. I'm just completely at a loss at this point.

Would downgrading to ME7 and then retrying this whole process work? I'm downloading ME7 as I'm typing this but I don't even know if downgrading is possible or if it'll have some disastrous effect on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
You can't downgrade to me7 and the latest HD is 4.3 so it's not compatible anyway.

List exactly what you do to install HD and what options you select in aroma. If you're doing everything correctly then your only option is to totally start fresh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dougddo:
Ah ok thanks. I won't try downgrading then.

I'm typing this out as I go through the process. I'm using Safestrap 3.71

1. Starting with clean Rom Slots, selecting Rom Slot 1. Creating new Rom Slot. System 2760MB (can't change), Data 6000MB, Cache 600MB. Created.

2. System wipe.

3. Selecting Rom to install. Selecting Hyperdrive RLS 14 S4. MD5 checked previously.

4. Options: Run Full Rom Install > Data Wipe Options: Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache > Phone Options: Verizon Galaxy S4 > TW Launcher Options: Hyperdrive TW GS4 Launcher > Samsung Apps and Addons: Unselected (My Files, Samsung Account, Samsung Travel, SHealth, WatchON); Selected(VPN Client); All other options kept the same > Miscellaneous: Selected(Don't Install an Email Client, Viper 4 Audio); All other options kept the same > Rom Mods: Selected(Volume Hack Loud); All other options kept the same > File Explorers: Unselected(ES File Manager); Selected(Lidroid File Manager) > Google Options: All options kept the same > Additional Apps: Unselected(Samsung Music); Selected(Adobe Flash Player, Terminal Emulator, Moto X Camera); All other options kept the same > Rom Theme and Look: Stock Galaxy Note 3 and S4 Theme > Kernel Installation: Stock Telxop Kernel 4.3 > Installing

5. Installation Completed. Reboot box unchecked. Menu > Quit Installation > Yes. Back > Install > Selecting jfltevzw-MK2-modules.zip. Swiped to confirm > Reboot System.

6. At the boot sequence now. "Initialization finished ... Activating root access SUCCESS! Enjoy your HYPERDRIVE Experience! Beginning Android OS 4.3 boot sequence ..."

Last step started at 10:22am PST. It is now 11:03am PST. Still on boot sequence.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Yeah you're definitely doing everything right. I don't know what to tell you from this point, I don't use Safestrap either so it's kind of hard to troubleshoot. If I were you I would probably flash a full wipe MK2 tar image through Odin then re-root with saferoot and install Safestrap. You could wait for somebody else to chime in before you do all that though. sorry I couldn't help more!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dougddo:
Yea, I guess I'll wait a little bit to see if anyone else has any suggestions.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
I'm not on SS either but yeah the point of flashing to stock slot is you get full storage capabilites like flashing a rom with a normal custom recovery.

Tried what you suggested and did a full wipe through Odin. Everything's working perfectly now. Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:

HD15 on MK2 is outstanding. I have never experienced this combination of performance and battery savings yet. I am hooked on this phone and the features the rom brings out. It's on my stock rom slot because the stock rom can't compete.

Did you hit fix root with in recovery?

Sorry I have to ask this.

Have you done volume button up and power button?

This should bring you into recover..

Being you lost root the recovery option in the menu will not work.

The search XDA for a update supersu. Or fix root zip, then go To recovery and flash it to regain root..

These zips are all over..

If you have truly lost recover..

You'll need to follow the guide with the leaked kernel to get recovery back I believe..

Hope all pans out 4 ya

RLS15 OTA update broken recovery

Everything was working just fine on RLS14 and MK2. I got a notification saying that there was an update, so I downloaded RLS15, booted into safestrap, factory reset, flashed the update, went through the Aroma installer, rebooted my device and it stayed on a black screen (like it wasn't on) for a good hour before I pulled battery. Trying to boot again with no avail I went to my stock rom in safestrap and booted stock. It went fine. I used stock rom for a day before I rebooted device, switched back to rom slot 1, re installed hyperdrive RLS15 and when it rebooted I was greeted with ODIN COULD NOT DO NORMAL BOOT.

Any idea on how to fix this problem? I can't seem to get into recovery at all. I see for a second the blue writing of stock recovery (it seems) but it immediately goes to odin mode after.

Thanks in advance. I should of just left it at rls14, that was perfect.
