It's so strange. it seems to be all light sources that do it now that i've had a day to mess with it. Most annoying thing ever.

Is there any option in this rom to enable/disable sensors? I would just disable the proximity sensor so the screen stays on but i haven't found anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
Have you tried recalibration through the methods listed here?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48365578&postcount=33

Also, do note, you can only use the "Keep screen on during call" option through a TouchWiz ROM. As of now, as far as I know there is no method for AOSP and CM based ROMs. But, of course this is not my area of expertise. I could be wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bthurber:
Hi Dan,

I notice on TW roms that the back button is very unresponsive in launchers and apps. I often have to hold my finger on it or press multiple times to get it to function. On your rom it ALWAYS responds right away. Can you explain why this is?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
Cause he hooked it up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Anyone have a way to disable CRT off w/o xposed? I know there's some framework mod to do this but idk how.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nooblit:
I have not. Will try this, if still no dice, i'll probably end up buying a new proximity sensor (they apparently go for only 4 dollars!) and replace it. Surprisingly not that hard to open up this phone. Just worried about risking even more dust entering the innards.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
probably won't need a replacement, just dab 99.9% rubbing alcohol on q-tip and clean the sensor off
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PENKO956:
this is for ICS but might work for KK.

Is there anyway to get blacklist and volume long press track skip on this rom? That would make it perfect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] imanoobfml:
Gravity box has an option for long press track skip I believe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] doat:
Not found in play store it comes up when I type in Gravity Box but when I tap on it to download it says item not found.

I am having trouble flashing the 4.3 modem.bin it flashes fine in odin and such but it still says MDL when I check it and my signal still drops. How exactly do you flash this modem or make it stick?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jonhy25:
You cannot find it in Google Play Store. Gravity Box is an Xposed module so you have to install xposed first then searching for Gravity Box (KK version).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] doat:
Is Xposed a flash file or in the app store?

EDIT: Nvm I found an Xposed thread that supports 4.4.2

I just need help flashing that modem.bin so my signal stops dropping.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] crawler9:
Xposed is available here or here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] doat:
Thanks I got it all installed and working well.

Now to flash that 4.3 modem I followed the instructions but I still have the MDL modem and signal goes to no service at times.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] atlharp:
This ROM is a trooper. I have been using it now for about 2 weeks and it keeps getting better and better. Great work! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] crawler9:
Be sure to flash the modem twice, without booting into your system in-between. For some reason, it doesn't stick for some people the first time. So disable auto reboot in Odin, flash the modem, wait until it's completed, pull your battery, insert your battery, and boot directly into download mode again and flash a second time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] doat:
I am going to Ohio to kiss you it worked and does not drop service when I make calls. Thank you very much!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoboBrazil:
Anyone use this rom on MetroPCS? Thinking about making the switch now that T-Mobile is ending corporate discounts and MetroPCS is the same service.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
It will be fine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darazor:
From what I read this will only affect new cstomers. Existing customers will keep their discounts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Apostle:
This may have been mentioned before but if not here it is. I have noticed that if you DON'T MANUALLY boot into download mode the modem won't stick no matter what you do.

Well that is awesome. I never saw the news they changed their mind. I think I'll stay with T-Mobile for now then, since it's only $10 more a month than MetroPCS with my discount.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nooblit:
Just performed the surgery on my phone. Took 99% alcohol to both the sensor and the window in the front of the case, then something strange happened. there was sort of a "tint coat" on the inside of the windows that the light and proximity sensors see through. When i rubbed the alcohol on it it started wearing off. I was worried about it at first but since it was already coming off i decided "whatever" and rubbed it all off. The two windows are now completely transparent. I air dusted everything before setting it back right, and closed the phone up. Tested out both the proximity sensor and light sensor, and both are working even better than before! This rom is now running 100% for me. Fantastic stuff. The thing that i think is weird is that while looking at teardown videos for this phone, it seems that every phone has that window tint on the inside of the proximity and light sensor windows. All it seemed to do for me was interfere with the sensors. Oh well.

Thanks everyone for the help. Couldn't have done it without you guys. :D

Whats the difference between this and CyanogenMod?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] getsum:
Sweet

Elegant ROM. Smooth and stable, no FC or lag. After flashing over 50 versions of various ROMs,this is the ROM I've been looking for and it does all I need ...very well. Can't get ART to stick but I'm more than OK with that. Thanks for all the hard work and craftsmanship:cool:.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
ART won't stick because your using xposed, if you were to uninstall the framework ART will enable just fine

xposed does not work on ART yet

Anyone ever have problems with sending a slideshow? I don't see them as being sent, just a little square. I asked my recipients if they received, and they all have said no. I have tried reflashing the ROM already.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DizDroid:
I never should have left this ROM, I've been to ODIN and back to get my phone working again. Every other ROM had unusable keyboard lag for me. Now if I could only get my Facebook app to actually log in I'll be back to 100%.

Thanks for the great work Dev.

Camera - Picture storage

By default it stores pics on my internal storage. I don't see an option to change it to Ext sd card. Appreciate any help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] camry89:
Short answer you can't. Use something like Foldermount to get the same result
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hotbread:
I failed to see how that is a ROM issue. If your FB app isn't logging in, then try reinstalling it?

And if that still doesn't work, then have you tried full wiping the phone and reinstall this ROM from scratch? Dirty flashing can get you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
he knows its not a ROM issue, he's just got some tweaking to do on his phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DizDroid:
I guess you missed where I said I've even gone as far back as to ODIN back to stock. Doesn't get any cleaner than that.

I've done the ODIN process, after plenty of fresh installs. Uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared data, you name it. Nothing. Works fine on anything else I've tried (OMNI, CM11, SOKP, etc.) Just will not load for me.

New camera update breaks camera for me too. I am running NB4 with MDL bootloader, can that be the cause of all this? I am about to ODIN back after work and take the OTA. That or go buy the M8.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hotbread:
Yea, sorry. I thought you meant you swapped to other roms, and then flash this new rom version and have issue with FB, which kinda suggests it's the rom's fault. My bad.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DizDroid:
Happens to the best of us. Looks like I'm off to the VZW store to pick up my M8.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
not convinced about that ;)

I just logged into facebook and my camera works

either user error or hardware, not the ROM

There's nothing wrong with this ROM guys, I hardly use Facebook but I can log in fine and camera works too.. This is my favorite rom right now, combined with gravity box this is just amazing stuff.. super fast and smooth!! Gonna stick with it for a while :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Are they locking the bootloader on new phones like the S5 now?

Go to Xposed and look for the "Pics2SD" module. Toggle that on and your pics will be saved to SD card. Gotta restart the phone every time you wanna switch between phone and SD card though. Blame all this hassle on Google.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PiggySmalls:
I saw rumor of the S5 being locked, but cannot verify that. The new Sony phone is locked down for sure though. They are doing it for warranty reasons. Apparently they still have no issues with use of Nexus devices, or GPE devices being used, because when bought from the Play Store, T-Mobile doesn't warranty them anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoboBrazil:
The T-Mobile GS5 doesn't have a locked bootloader.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
Yeah but dat knox tho...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] camry89:
If you buy from Tmo to use with another carrier who cares what the warranty bit says anyway? It lets you flash what you want other than downgrading and thats gonna have to be enough
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] relldroid:
I did that but it didn't really do anything any further steps?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Hmm... When I flashed this rom, the buttons were off without tweaking at all. I would suggest reflash. I also use the kernel in the op... But I don't think that helps. Hmm...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] relldroid:
I flashed this rom a few times even more through updates so I doubt it's that and im using ktoonz kernel i believe.

I've been trying to disable these things for the longest and yours were off by default? ?

Anyway On TW system/ usr/ keylayouts/ had the scripts u coupe modify but it's not there on gpe

Gravitybox let's me disable the lights but that's it

(Remember these are official drivers included, 4.3 is ROCK stable and there are no bluetooth, camera, tethering or network issues, this is a VERY handy zip to keep around, newer is not ALWAYS better for some users.)

was there a reason going back to "4.3"?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BiggJurk:
Okay I'm sure this is a stupid question but what the hell. I'm traveling overseas and tmo offers free data and text but not voice. There is that call over WiFi stuff which I have not played with in forever. Is it possible to get that working on this ROM or will I have to flash a TW ROM . which if that's the case I think I'll pass and just not make voice calls only Hangouts
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Wi-Fi calling will work on TW ROM only.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Bored and it was worth updating

4.3 is honestly superior firmware in general to 4.4.2, 4.4.3 might change the tide into kit kat's favor

now im not saying there is anything wrong with 4.4.2, but there are some google bugs still present that are out of my control

-no led on missed call

-some bluetooth failures on certain devices

-exchange

-camera

-sview for ppl who use it

-4.3 AOSP browser is the best browser
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:

i don't understand why sammy changed this in 4.4.2 but in 4.3 you can set a default dialer and it sticks.

*question for Dan: why do you have 2 clocks in the system. for some reason the cynogen clock always gives me wakelocks which i have to move to user then delete the app. there seems to be no problem after deleting the clock app but just want to know if the system really needs it. thanks for your support. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PiggySmalls:
It's not really a second clock. The Clock is your alarm clock, timer, stop watch, the other is the cLock widget from CM ROMS.

Battery not charging fully while off

I am loving this ROM. It's beyond stable and smooth. Just wondering if anyone had the same thing happen to them. Charged my phone overnight while being off. Showed battery was fully charged before powering on. Once I powered on it booted up and showed 59%. Rebooted again and still showed 59%. Is this a kernel issue? Running the KT kernel that came with the ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
Try calibrating your battery using a battery calibration app. Also, I'd install the latest build of KT kernel as well. I'd actually do that first, wipe cache and dalvik then, calibrate battery at 100%

Edit: can't reply directly to your comment, XDA app is being difficult and force closes whenever I tap on anyone's comment.. :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Drizzythebiker:
Simple question, but what is the latest kernel that everyone is using in conjunction with this rom? Which is best? Link?

yep, I get really good stability with 01.05.2014 build of the TMO GPE 4.3 kernel from ktoonsez aswell

88%, an hour screen time at the moment

4.4.2 or 4.3 is personal preference, they are both stable but I still think 4.3 is better firmware, hell I wouldn't even call it old, its been out less then a year. we are now seeing what 4.3 GPE can do with my framework tweaks, especially real AOSP autobrightness and not that Samsung crap

but seriously, this is the kind of battery life 4.3 has with my tweaks, it's a pity i didn't sell my s3 sooner :P i came to these forums to late

So far not yet. Friend has one and can confirm not locked as of now. That's actually part of the reason I asked before if [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] was going to move to S5. I told a friend of mine when this happens I'll be stocking up on last unlocked and set 'em all up, then as one breaks or dies pull out the next one. In 2030 I'll be that guy walking around with 2015 S5. It'll be a bit of an issue tho if this doesn't get ported, cuz I don't think I can go back to TW now. Been using this as DD for what 3 wks now, NOT ONE problem related to the ROM. couple OE things but that's to be expected.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nooblit:
I have a question: Is there no way to edit contacts in this rom? Like set specific ringtones for certain contacts, delete existing, etc.

The only option i see is to view everyone i have already, and to add a new one. Not to edit or delete. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MoodSwinger:
[MENTION=4995686]Nooblit[/MENTION] : If you are on the 4.4.2 KK version, pick your contact, then either hit menu button or tap 3 dots (menu) in upper right corner that's where you find "EDIT" (both give same menu) pick either one there's also the option to "delete" or "set ringtone" (about 1/2 way down).

Would imagine it's very similar for 4.3 JB version.

Any and all normal function / setting is available, you may just have to do a bit of looking around, menu's and settings may be a bit differently set-up but everything is there. If anything, by going thru and looking you'll see there's prob a lot more available to you than your previously used to dealing with.

Cheers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Go to People in the app drawer. You have to click on the contact, menu button to see the delete and set ringtone options. The edit fields only let you add or remove info.

I've been having problems with my proximity sensor since flashing the latest builds. I tried the canned air fix and still no luck. I was thinking though, is it possible that the tweaked auto brightness settings have an effect on the way the sensor functions? Even though I'm loving the new improved auto brightness, I'm willing to go back a few builds to get my sensor functioning properly again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nooblit:
My issue was that i was looking for "contacts" as it was called in the touchwiz rom. :rolleyes:. Thanks again guys.

The light sensor and proximity sensor are in 2 different spots and function completely differently so auto brightness wouldn't have to do with the proximity sensor messing up. if you look earlier in the thread i had the same issue. i fixed it by opening the phone up and cleaning the sensor and it's window with rubbing alcohol and q-tips. Really easy fix and takes less than an hour even on your first run.
