cant wait to give this a try, thanks for your work :good:

edit: after flashing this i've noticed a few things..while re-downloading apps after they install, my phone immediately goes back to the Google Now home screen. Not sure if that's necessarily a bug or not but it is kind of an annoyance. Also, network speeds are ridiculously slow while downloading apps on wifi. Tried stopping the downloads and starting them again on just my LTE signal alone, but it seems as if that's slower. Along with mild battery drain, my battery has gone from 37% down to 14% (just now literally) in about 25 minutes, but seeing as how my phone wasn't fully charged when i flashed the rom i'll have to retest that tomorrow. I did notice some overheating as well. I'll be able to give a more thorough assessment of this rom tomorrow after a full days use. but just wanted to give my initial response on this rom. thanks for your work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hexcorev2:
I will be trying this real soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] moparfreak426:
Another 4.4 rom to try? I am happy but at the same time I'm sick of flashing all these 4.4 roms. Lol. Flash-addict
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] krazie1:
I understand the heating issue, I also noticed this but the other issues I don't have. The battery is actually good to me, I had 3 hours on screen time with about 30% left on first cycle. I forgot to say this but you need to Clean Wipe before flashing this if coming from the older builds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] datroidrager:
the battery life is probably good, but like i said i flashed the rom w/o my phone being on a full charge so it wasn't really a fair assessment but just what i experienced right off the bat, i'll be able to judge better after a full days use tomorrow. i did do a clean wipe as well, always do whether i'm coming from another rom or just updating. :p i'm really just happy that mms is working
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] krazie1:
Yeah I flashed and then changed to a full battery I had and started testing. Helps me with reading the battery life and finding all the bugs before the battery dies. I did notice the play music shows a black screen on the lockscreen, I told the team and they are looking into it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WindowsSucks:
Hmmm. Granted I don't have this s3. I'm a sprint user. This 4.4 kitkat hellfire runs fantastic for me. Odd. I haven't had any issues. Only apps not playing with art. But that's not the ROMs fault.

I lobe this ROM too......especially when everybody ear is getting along;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] datroidrager:
gotta say after a full day of use, this rom is awesome. battery life is great, managed to get just under 11hrs use out of it w/3hrs of screen on time. didn't experience any overheating issues like i did last night. i will say though that for me at least, data speeds are pretty slow. it takes anywhere from 1-3 minutes to download the smallest of apps whereas before they would be downloaded in seconds. could be the rom, could be my phone who knows. but overall great work :good::good::good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jynxx:
Quick question. Is there a way to get rid of the Google now bar at the top of the home screen? I couldn't find anywhere to remove it.

Thank you

Downloading now. Ever since the 4.4 ROMs started to surface, I've became a flash whore. Thanks guys lol:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LeoRex:
That's baked into the new launcher. Google Now is tightly integrated into their new stock launcher for 4.4.... it's basically all Google Now, with your apps and widgets as 'cards'

Easiest way? Go with a third party launcher. I'm not sure if any have released versions based on KitKat.... many are still ICS based to be honest. But
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sideoutjj:
Ext card

I looked so sorry if I missed it. I wiped as required and installed. Sound did not work till after I restarted it. Now the only issue I have is that I does not read the ext card. I am using ES File Explorer. When I click on the ext card it says...invalid path.

2nd question. Is there no longer a "contacts" button?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SoCalSpecialist:
can anyone report that the HideitPro app works successfully with this ROM?

i dont wanna flash it and it not work...

thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tannerj:
I just check and I am having the same issue with ES explorer, however I when to root "/" then to storage and my sdcard is sdcard1. found all my data there. When you pull up history and is shows / Device, 0, and sdcard1 the shortcuts will not get you to your sdcard. I don't know if ES explorer can be edited on it's shortcuts.

As for the contacts, yes they are still there but they are not labeled people. I had trouble finding them at first also.

I hope this helps you out.....Jarrod
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tannerj:
KitKat Google Launcher

I like this rom, this is my second kitkat rom I have tried and the only issue I have is the Google Launcher and the position of the home screen. I like the home screen in the middle of my normal 5 screens that I use (mostly use only 3, home and the one left and right of home). This way I can get to the screen I need or use most, quicker. This might be petty but if someone has found a way to change the position of the home screen please let me in on the secret.

if this is the new android I guess I can change but I hope the final release (official from each phone and provider) will be changed.

Just my 2 cents on the KitKat Rom, again this is not a hellfire issue. This is just my thoughts on the KitKat Rom as a whole.

Yea they are the same. So don't matter. I just wanted to add a mirror since afh was acting up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sagorr:
thanks guys

thanks for the great rom. now, i just updated my CWM and i can install the latest 4.4.2. but, i think, this rom has some problem regarding data connectivity. sometimes it looses data connection after making call to anyone. please have a look of this problem.

thanks again..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikedett91:
Flashed the weekly a few hours ago and I'd like to say that so far it feels great and it is visually stunning! There is really only one thing I've noticed so far and that is that my WIFI will not turn on. It seems to always be "Turning on" and I've tried fixing permissions and reflashing (clean flashes) but haven't had any luck.. Has anyone had any luck?

Also, unrelated to the above and feel noobish for asking. But where are the development options in this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WindowsSucks:
Not sure about the WiFi. Maybe a bad flash. Dev options need to be enabled. Settings about phone click build number several times then profit.

Wow, this is the only 4.4 ROM that let's me stream Bluetooth audio to my car. Thanks for the awesome work? Did you implement a Bluetooth fix in this ROM or is it just coincidence that it plays nice with my phone.

I decided to re-download the zip and flashing it again worked like a charm. And the tip for Dev options worked like a charm :laugh:.

Lock ups (Freezing)

I have been running 12/18 weekly all week and just today I have had about 6 lockups on my phone. I have to pull the battery. Anyone else having this issue?

tannerj
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] da-pharoah:
Are you on art or davlik? Did you do any major changes to the ROM? Did the lockups come when you were doing something specific? Are you killing your apps as well in the recent apps list?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carngeX:
I'm having some issues too. Trying to tether, it will randomly decide to not let any data pass to my computer it seems. For instance, I started downloading a game on Steam, and it would start out fine, then after a few minutes it would cut and the download speed would be at 0kB/s. If I turn the AP off and back on again, it will do the same thing. Is this a CM 11 thing, or something specific to this ROM? It worked fine when I was on 4.2.2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] da-pharoah:
What size file are you trying to download btw? Also do you have your browser set to an android profile? I think Verizon works like tmo meaning they have sniffers installed to detect unauthorized WiFi tether. That could be an issue for you. Or it could just be this weeks update. Lots of things have been updated. So are you using a secured connection with ap or unsecured? Also is it only steam or do you have issues with downloading other things from other sites?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carngeX:
It's a 7GB game - I've done it on 4.2.2 with a 12GB game before though. Haven't tried any other files, and my browser is set to standard web profile (web sites seem to work fine from what I can tell).

I've never been hit by VZW for unauthorized tether in regards to throttling or connection cut out, or even a notice. It's a secured AP, set up exactly the same way I had it on 4.2.2. Only had issues with Steam so far from what I've seen.

It's weird though, after posting my initial post, the connection has been stable and bouncing between 1 - 1.5Mb/s like it normally does lol. Maybe my area was just having issues with data? Or maybe it just worked itself out. This is my first 4.4 ROM, so I didn't know if it was a known CM11 issue or anything either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tannerj:
I don't know what art or davlik is? no major changes to the ROM except enabling developer options and stay wake when plugged in and advanced reboot. I was not doing anything when it locks up. I grab my phone out on its case on my hip and it either wont turn on or it is on but the lockup on the lock screen. I do not kill my apps, I let android system do what is needs. Once I have flashed this ROM (almost a week ago) I set my phone up with all my apps and settings I want then I leave it alone. I have also had a few complete shutdowns today only. I don't know what is going on.

One thing I do know is since I have moved over to kitkat all apps update automatically, is this the norm now or should I turn that feature off (if possible)?

I can always do a fresh flash, I just thought I would pass it along if anyone is having the same issue. if you do suggest that I might wait until a weekly comes out by Sunday evening.

Tannerj.

Are you downloading to phone? If so do you have enough room left on phone? Like storage not full? Also have you tried using the mirror? There should be one in the op.

Double check yalls APN. Even go as far as selecting another APN. Always reboot after selecting a different APN for good testing purposes.

what i have found is waiting 10 min and rebooting again will restore the mobile data and i have not had it drop...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] e30bimmer89:
I'm far too impatient for that:laugh:. I did switch the APN, tried rebooting, tried reflashing, said screw it and went back to what I know works. Hopefully they figure out why it does that and take care of it. I was on their old ROM and it was awesome, hopefully that can get this one on the same level. I would love to see Team Hellfire put out a great 4.4 ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AmanteNJ:
It looks like at first install the ROM will not detect the SIM card which needed to be pulled out and reinserted. But make sure what ever you do, do not dial *228 or else you will lose 4G lte and will get stuck to 3G. But just in case you do and get stuck with 3G, just go to your VZ store and get a new SIM card free of charge.

WIFI not showing any available connections

Hi all,

I just go tthrough installing this on my dads Galaxy s III for verizon and the first issue was WIFI settings does not recognize any available wifi networks. I don't see anyone mentioning it in this thread so FYI the following worked for me.

Download SQLLite Editor (costs money). Open the app, then open Setting Storage, then setttings.db, then Global, then scroll down to wifi_display_on and edit the value, change it to 0. Reboot and then you should have wifi working again.

I googled this and got the answer from a cyanogen mod thread. If it helps good. ;D a thumbs up and thanks appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WindowsSucks:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carngeX:
So far running the 2.8 Stable just fine.

Sometimes get no service on reboots, or unknown IMEI, but a reboot usually fixes it.

Only complaint I have (not sure if this is for any KK ROM or not), but I usually have my data turned off until I need it (I turn it back on through the toggles). Only bad thing I've found is if I want to send/receive an MMS message, it doesn't automatically turn on my data. It just sits and tries to send until I manually turn it on. I know this is possible because it worked on Rootbox 4.2.2. Like I said, not sure if this is just a KK issue or if it's just something with this ROM... but would be sweet if that little issue could be fixed.

Again, other than that it runs great. Super fast and not really any other issues that I've noticed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zlancerman:
Flashed this yesterday (from SynergyROM 4.1) and all went well. However, I have no Data. It's as if the SIM card isn't recognized. My search for a remedy came up short. Any ideas on what I can try?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zlancerman:
Thanks for responding. I've done many reboots - including rebooting with my SIM card out, in, Airplane more on, off, etc. Let it sit for hours, redo, etc. Updated my modem, baseband radio, kernel, etc, still no dice. As a last resort I flashed a Gummy 4.4 ROM to see if the data worked on that with my kernel and radios and viola - it works. So it seems there is a bug/issue with the HellFire ROM. I'll keep watching to see if anyone figures it out.

What does it mean by "fix permissions" during the installation phase? its the first I've seen of this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mirrin:
That is a fix for many issues that could arise each file gets a permission setting of who can do executes reads or writes to it. As and when you load files from recovery permissions don't transfer or they end up with the wrong ones so fix permissions goes through and sets them all to the correct one.
