I'm not exactly sure totally how signal Strength is reported between touch wiz vs aosp. But I'll tell you what I've noticed. It seems the reflection in terms of bars vs signal strength is that touch wiz always seems to reflect the stronger signal voice or data, signal on aosp tends to reflect the strength of which ever is lower. My wife has a gs4 on stock me7. So I was able to test both side by side. I typically run the me7 radio now. There are different opinions about this radio. I'll say yes it uses more battery. It has pretty much the same signal strength as mdk. For me it is very good with edge signal. Which is where I stay most of the time. So all things being even in terms of radios using a signal strength app like cdma field test. The signal is pretty much the same everywhere. Sometimes I'd be slightly better, sometimes her phone. Sometimes dead even. TouchWiz seems to update a little more frequently would be the only upside. Now none of this is super scientific. Just my observations. This helped my head come to terms with it. The question is can you do all the same things in the same places? If so, I would not worry about it to much. Just enjoy. Someone smarter than me might can offer a better explanation.

Any chance of adding "swipe to switch" (horz swipe in notification drawer to switch to quick settings) in a future build? As simple as it is, I've found the feature to be quite useful.

Anyone play Simpsons tapped out.noticed a bunch of force closes and unplayable. But my other android friends play NP. Is it the ROM or maybe the game not working with 4.3..

Looks like the new Google Music 5.2.xxxx is not going to install with the one provided.... solution?

Uninstalling with TB doesn't seem to work either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] slayer621:
Anyone know if this build has the expanded desktop mode from CM? It basically hides the status bar in all apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thadialeckt:
Nope
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Travisdroidx2:
Did you reboot after uninstalling? Then it will work. Uninstall, reboot, install from play store.

accidently updated google+ n now its no longer themed ???

I think the on/off toggle on the cm profiles doesnt turn it off, i made 2 custom profiles then turned off profiles and it still switches between the 2

I'm probably going full retard here, but my camera and gallery are gone. I tried manually moving Gallery (which includes Camera) from the zip to /system/app, rebooting, fixing permissions, and as soon as I boot it says it force closes and the icons disappear from the drawer. I look in /system/app and the apk is gone. What am I doing wrong here? For the record, it happened on CM10.2 as well, but I did a clean install of Eclipse.

Edit: Also, my app drawer likes to randomly resize itself. I could be in the normal 5x4 and then it'll move to a 6*4 with the bottom row having no icons. I'll try to get a screenshot when it happens next.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jayracer7474:
Did u clear app data on your camera that u deleted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kvswim:
I didn't delete anything. It force closes and deletes itself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justreboot:
I would probably suggest reflash dirty is OK, just clear cache 1st. No data will be lost, but apps will be restored. I've done this in the past when I f'd something up :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loldi:
Has anyone used this build with Ktoonez and nitro's stock kernel and can report on battery life? I'm getting some good stuff with ktoonez, but I've had problems with versions later than 8/20 so I'm hesitant to update it. If the stock runs just as well I'd rather use that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kvswim:
No go. Dirty flash, dalvik wipe, and fix permissions. I snagged a screenshot of both the FC and the app drawer problem (notice both the 6*4 issue and the "Camera" are missing)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justreboot:
have you tried using root explorer and make sure gallery2.apk is NOT in /system/app. If it IS there I would remove it (make sure that it's mounted RW. reboot the phone and place the app back there. Also verify permissions are rw-r--r--.

I would then install from the directory (through root explorer) and reboot one more time for good measure. Let me know.

You should be able to rip the app out of the ROM if not PM me and I'll send u the file (I'm using Camera Zoom Fx/ cause I like the wide screen 9+ MP by default).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kvswim:
This is what I tried in the first place. It seems to show up, and the icons are present on boot, but gallery FC's and the icons disappear. The apk also vanishes from /system/app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justreboot:
Yea that's really odd, something must be hosing the app. Unfortunately, u may need to start clean.... Sorry. U may wanna use TiBu or similar to backup the app data.... If that's the way u roll. Personally, I would start fresh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kvswim:
I don't understand why it happened with two roms, both with clean installs. Can't see a nuke and pave working when it didn't work before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jayracer7474:
I would install the googlegallery.apk here it is https://mega.co.nz/#!gxBAkKDb!4GKpxAl4jQI-qkZmhv_JxJ0XqIXH3Jhu0_5zZSD6LfA this will add the camera and gallery in one app, just dl it and click to install or move to system/app with root explorer and change permission to rw-r-r, and as a side note do not fix permissions in recovery ever, repeat do not fix permissions in recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawnten:
FYI the new viper Mod works perfectly on this ROM.

This finally worked for me.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LinkinParkmetre:
Nitro do you plan on fixing the green lines camera problems on the next release?

Thanks for your work man!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
That's been fixed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LinkinParkmetre:
In the build 5 or the upcoming build 6 ?

Thanks !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
5 did you clean or dirty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Craigerz:
I haven't read through whole thread as time had been limited so if this has been mentioned please forgive me...

But...

After a couple days of running this ROM my phone ends calls as soon as I dial and the only temporary fix has been to remove the battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Harleydroid:
What kernel are you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thadialeckt:
If you wait about a minute issues resolves itself. I ran into after making two quick phone calls back to back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] an21281:
You can also toggle mobile data off and on. Not sure what the problem is, and I have problems waking my phone up after a call. It's getting to be quite a headache.

Anyone know why I can't get video text. Or is that just an aosp thing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheJ0hnman:
MMS in general has been flaky for me on basically any non-Touchwiz ROM, but I have had success receiving video texts using Textra from the Play store after changing the MMS port to 80... Can't remember where I found that, but it seems to do the trick
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LinkinParkmetre:
Clean flash, first time I use this rom. Page 49/50 I posted the issue

Even now, after a week of usage, sometimes recording on the stock camera won't work and I need to reboot. If a 3rd party app is using the camera, then it doesn't properly release it I guess. Like snapchat and instagram are my 3rd party app

And sometimes the camera get laggy too... It was blazing fast at first!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loldi:
Clean flashed the latest build..couple things.

Had the phone dialing issue mentioned above. Calls end as soon as I select the person, but if you wait a minute it works.

Got green lines again recording a video in a text message. It only was on the first frame of the video, so not a big deal.

Battery life is awesome with the stock kernel, I see no need to flash ktoonez now. Nice job.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wdswds:
Good to know that I'm not the only person experiencing the dialer problem. It's been there since build 1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loldi:
I don't usually use the phone too often, but I did notice it the other day. Call cut out and 2 subsequent recalls ended immediately with the 3rd going through.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
I've had multiple calls with no audio on either side all on the latest build and only with this rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
Anyone having any luck installing adaway to block ads? I keep getting a fc when trying to parse and apply the changes on the latest build (build 5)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ReyBoricua:
It force closes sometimes but I just leave adblock open alone and eventually it will apply.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] parrotheadmjb:
I would suggest maybe using AdFree from bigtincan.com that's what I've been using with no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
Worked without a problem. AdAway has always been solid, but I guess I just need something that works. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loldi:
Been getting a lot of camera freezes/gallery crashing when trying to record a video directly in a text message. Clean flash of lastest build.

edit: Even though I can get out of the app. The camera no longer connects and the phone has a constant wakelock for the camera (according to BBS). Restarting fixes it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ReyBoricua:
Happened to me when I tried to take a picture within a text today too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LinkinParkmetre:
There is definitely a problem with the camera

If you're having an issue that you can generate at will... Make Nitro's life a little easier and get a log

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nitroglycerine33:
If you attach a picture that is already captured it works fine. I have never tried to take a picture from within the MMS app before. But I do see that it hangs when trying to attach it that way.

The camera works just fine. This is most likely an issue with the MMS app... You guys are more than welcome to fix it for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nitroglycerine33:
A lot of third party camera apps use legacy drivers that AOSP does not support natively in 4.3. I am looking into adding old drivers to resolve the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Coderedpl:
I found that the camera sometimes wouldn't launch. I'll just have a black screen. What I had to do is close the apps I had open (such as Instagram) and start the camera again. Worked then
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbigdrawsz:
Just flashed this and am I gonna be disappointed or am I just missing how to do it? Transparent status bar?! Can it be done and if not can we get a patch for that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Travisdroidx2:
I use nova gestures to use transparent status bar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbigdrawsz:
I thought there was a spot in Nova to do it, but I can't find it. I don't see it in gestures either. Where are you doing that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Travisdroidx2:
I do have the paid version of nova. However I have my gesture set up to swipe down to toggle notification bar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbigdrawsz:
Okay. I've got the paid/Prime version as well but I don't have that option. Hmmmmm, interesting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Travisdroidx2:
http://db.tt/Fi3KFKdl here is a screen shot. Swipe down is where I have it set.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dknell:
Did you have any luck figuring this out? I want the transparent SB too, haven't had any luck yet...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbigdrawsz:
Unfortunately no. I tried a few things and nothing worked. I just flashed back to my previous ROM until there's a fix or it's baked in. Hate to have such a small thing be a deal breaker for a good ROM, but some things I just can't look at. LOL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nitroglycerine33:
This is an AOSP based ROM. Transparent status bars are not in AOSP. That is a feature other Roms have built in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ironclad Lou:
Xposed framework + Gravity box will do it for you on this ROM. The problem I had was when I enabled GB the camera would force close. Not the dev's fault obviously. Can't account for every tweak and add on the user adds after the fact. Switched over to the Carbon nightly, but I definitely miss this ROM. Almost perfect combo of simplicity plus customization and the camera tweaks are awesome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gwallers:
Not everytime but on occasion my phone hangs after a reboot or if it turn off and back on at the boot screen. Do other people have this issue? Seems to be a lot more lately. Should i look at changing recovery or is this normal. btw i am using twrp 2.5.0.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dknell:
Thanks Nitro. That is definitely not a deal breaker for me. Love the ROM, appreciate your hard work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] twiz0r:
I have also having this issue. Only had it happen 2 or 3 times. Using cwm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
I think it happens on all of the non-TW ROMs occasionally.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nitroglycerine33:
It happens on all Roms. It is a recovery bug.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1454:
I just want to confirm a few things. Does this pretty much fix BT? I'm on an ME7 based TW rom and I have issues with it. 2, Do I need to be using a specific recovery to flash, or is it like the Nex and Rezound where all I have to do is flash in TWRP like usual? Last, I assume I will lose wave to answer with this? Not a deal breaker, obviously, just curious.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loldi:
Had the video camera lock up when using the camera app. Going to try and get it to do it again and get a logcat.

edit: Got it to do it, uploading logcat in a second.

link to logcat. hope it helps, first time i ever tried to pull one so idk if I did it right. camera stuff is all at the very end.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sparatan117:
I really hate to gripe and complain on something that works so well, but if it's broke its broke... I seem to drop calls pretty consistently now and the immediate end call thing is really annoying. I hate to throw it away but ..... I'll be back. Hopefully nitro can figure out where the phone is failing open.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
click in air plane then unclick and your good
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stl-fan:
Trivial, but is there any way to enable infinite scroll on trebuchet launcher?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sparatan117:
Let it disconnect you in the middle of an important call four times in a row and then you reset it with airplane mode. See how long you'll last...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dknell:
I'm on a clean flash of build 4 and haven't had any of these issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nitroglycerine33:
Logcat... I have been running 4.3 on this device for a long time now and have never had that issue.. So I do not know what to tell you.

The only issue I have is that I can't remove a contact from the blacklist once I blacklist them. Any luck?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chenchen:
Hi guys.

Whenever I make a call and try to end it, it won't end from my side. Any ideas as to why this is so?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justreboot:
Odd, I am not having any of the call issues that other folks are experiencing (looks for wood to knock on, just finds formica)...

I am using build 5 witth the stock kernel. The only other mods I have are cosmetic (themes and froze some apps/ services).

I would suggest a clean flash / gapps and stock kernel...

Peace
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
This was after 8 hours of idle overnight. It's weird cause I would think the AOSP ROM would have idle less drain than your TW counterpart.

Absolutely love the ROM but really confused as to why the drain is so high? Could it be because it's 4.3? Or that WiFi is always on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] R4NDR01D:
[MENTION=3247702]nitroglycerine33[/MENTION] You're freaking awesome!! I already donated for your TW ROM, but I had no idea you had a 4.3 AOSP ROM, I can finally move my apps to SD! (I think). Either way, I just downloaded your SIII ROM on my wife's phone last night so all my family's daily driver's are officially nitroglycerine33's Eclipse ROMs now. Thank you. I'll be donating for this one too.

:good::good::good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sparatan117:
Yeah man, I'm not dissing on you, and I don't know what to do about it either. I'd have to go back and re-install it again to get the logcat, but unfortunately I don't have a separate phone so I can't do it at the moment. Maybe a little later on. Sorry :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kennyidaho:
I am having an issue where my ringtone and notification volume suddenly stops working. During this time if I try to increase or decrease the volume using the rocker the phone seems to freeze up and lag a bit. To fix this I've either got to reboot the phone or sometimes it seems to just resolve itself after a couple hours.

What can I do to help this issue get resolved?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mlin:
How's the camcorder recording volume on this ROM? Does it have the low volume issue that plagues other AOSP ROMs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chris123NT:
Yeah it probably does, CM still has it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justreboot:
I know it's pretty early on, but so far, so good. Now to disable some services :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] imablackhat:
build 6. Does Simpsons tapped out work. Anyone know ? Build five didn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ironclad Lou:
Never played it before, but just downloaded it and made it through the tutorial without an issue.

There were a handful of minor things in build 5 that caused me to move onto some other AOSP builds, but nearly all of them seem to be fixed for me. I think the only thing that still crops up for me is the flakiness of third party camera apps and their ability to completely disable the camera until rebooted. A little bit of an inconvenience as the native HDR is borked. All in all it's an awesome upgrade though. Super smooth. This will definitely be my daily for awhile.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] imablackhat:
Tried build 6 and Simpsons still broken. I think it has something to do with opengl on pure aosp roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
is there anything we can do about the low volume on camcorder
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] an21281:
Trickster mod donate in play store has volume control and u can adjust mic also...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justreboot:
Edit:

Man I really wish Nova would actually save the actual desktop instead of just the placement of the widgets :)

Looks like there was a lot of cleanup on this build :)

I only needed to freeze some of the LWPs and Exchange.... Very nice . Will report back in a few days with regards to batt life, since last night I was at 33% when I finished restoring / customizing, etc.

Since this is my DD, I'll know by Thursday if there's a difference in v6 / Just a heads up, I didn't have ANY issues with v5, just saw the new build and fig'd eh, why not?

On a sep note, thinking my next phone is gonna be smaller... not sure yet which one. Most likely, I'll hand this one over to my son, he still has my old rezound :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chris123NT:
Yes, we can do something about it. Invisiblek put up a commit on gerrit last night to address this:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/51530/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ironclad Lou:
Don't want to beat a dead horse, but what exactly isn't working? I went back and played it again through the point right after you build the quik e mart. It's worked perfectly fine for me up to that point. Did you do a fresh install or restore from a backup?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sherdog16:
Interesting. My nova backups include the desktop apps, just not apps inside of folders. I do have prime however. Maybe that's why
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justreboot:
I should have been clearer / I have Prime as well. What Nova does is 2 things I wish it didn't / (1) doesn't retain the wallpaper settings (no big deal) / (2) It creates paceholders for all the widgets: meaning you have to tap on the area, select from SD (I use a lot of zooper widgets, 20 in all) select the widget and go back; kinda PITA if u ask me, but then again it takes all of 3 mins to set up :)

I was just *****in' that it would be easier if it was an 'image' that kept all the settings: wallapaper, widgets, screens. Again not a real dealbreaker, just venting...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] johnfoam:
How is this ROM with signal transitions - 3g to 4g to 3g to wifi, etc...? I've been running Eclipse TW edition for months and it's been awsome. Would love to get back on AOSP, but signal transitions always seem to be an issue on non TW roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sherdog16:
Understood. Valid points too. There is always room for improvement. It's what makes good things into great things

That's not entirely true. We're chasing a rather obscure handoff issue on d2 and jf that crops up if the phone is booted in a 1X or legacy 3G area, data doesn't connect on handoff to LTE. Other than that it's fine.
