[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] funkyfungus:
Hey guys - searched this thread and many others. I'm having the Proximity Sensor problem again, and it is clean. On 4.4.3 I used this trick and it worked flawlessly:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51630428

Once I flashed 4.4.4 I'm back to the black screen problem and cannot hang up on calls unless I hold to power button. Is there a new fix?

I love 4.4.4 but may have to go back. Thanks for any help!

Does anyone experience their bluetooth signal going on and off? It says mine is connected and then it drops the connection (but the icon still signals that it's connected).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KB Smoka:
Did you actually open the phone up and clean it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] funkyfungus:
Hey KB,

I broke the phone down and cleaned the sensor when I was on 4.4.3 - and that didn't help until I terminaled in the permission changes in my initial reply.

I don't think dirt had anything to do with the problem. Everyone else's prox sensors are working on this 4.4.4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gadianton:
Mine seems to be. KT's app shows the prox sensor at 12.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Drizzythebiker:
Are you losing connection in a car?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gheng68:
Not in a car. This is on my bluetooth headsets.

Hey Dan, home can I update to Nova Launcher Prime? When I convert NL to user app, and try to uninstall it, NLP won't install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
You just leave NL the way it was and download NLP from app store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
leave it as system app, it's fine. seriously
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ispot:
use titanium backup to uninstall nova launcher, but make sure you installed any other launcher before you do that, then install nova launcher prime.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PiggySmalls:
Nova Launcher Prime doesn't do anything without Nova Launcher. It makes no difference if Nova is a user or system app.

CW vs AOSP

hey Dan, why in most KK CW ROMs, you have the option of moving apps to sd, as for our ROM it is not there? I did use Folder Mount, it does work but I think it slows things down a bit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoboBrazil:
Here is the update file link Dan in case you want to see if something is different http://android.clients.google.com/p...I9505G_XAR_UCNE3_to_UCNF3_Update_FWD_USER.zip

Does anyone get random data cutouts? Still says I'm connected to LTE with a few bars but nothing loads when accessing the web until I switch airplane mode on and off. Suggestions? Has there been a new radio release lately?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Apostle:
If you have not taken the full NB4 update with Knox you will always have this issue.

But you should have one launcher at least that's a system app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] H3adru5H:
If I have not taken? Do you mean flashing the NB4 radio? Cuz I'm on the NB4 baseband.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Apostle:
No, flashing the modem is just that. You need to unroot, and flash the stock image. You can get it on sammobile. Then you can re root, flash this and you will be fine. WITHOUT DOING THIS YOU WILL NEVER FIX THIS ISSUE.

Yeah, in case you ever have to factory reset, you're right, it's a smart idea. But for normal, everyday use, you don't have to.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] braschlosan:
That will fix it but it isn't the only way.

You can flash NB4 gsm modem and MDL LTE nonhlos and have the best of both worlds.

Probably the easiest way is to flash the mdl modem combo, boot up to verify the baseband has changed, then flash the modified nb4 modem file from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2678774
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Apostle:
Not sure about that. All of us that were on the MDL boot loader and NB4 modem had data drops. Lots of them.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoboBrazil:
Might as well go to a Knox bootloader. I finally did earlier this month, because I'm not in warranty any way. Just make sure if you do, that you sim unlock your phone using the method in general forum before you do. I might end up taking mine to prepaid one day.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Some places will even fix you up even if you tripped it. You can blame it on a faulty kies and/or they have to directly link you to the incident to deny you warranty.

Any big differences between 4.4.2 -> 4.4.4? I always thought the changelog was for mostly Nexus phones with those battery issues?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Emerl:
Not sure if anyone has asked u this Dan, but, how do you feel about "Android L"?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ispot:
Wrong

I am afraid that is wrong, I am on AMDL 4.2.2 boot loader, never took the Knox update, I am on NB4 modem, and I have no issues what so ever with data rate, or data drops.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] braschlosan:
That's because you flashed the entire modem package which includes the gsm and lte modems together. It's the LTE modem updates with the old bootloader that cause the data drops and sound issues.

I'd like to know why the bootloader and lte modem cause this problem but I've never seen an explanation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Apostle:
Not sure then. I was on the same combo you were for a few months and I had daily issues, as did other members. I didn't care about warranty so I took Knox and my issues are gone.

From an OS and Business Applications Senior Developer to a Dedicated Developer, I sincerely appreciate your good work and dedication. I always had lots of FC's with different TW ROMS, since I switched to your 4.4.3 GPE, then upgraded to 4.4.4, I am as happy as the little guy in the picture.

UPDATE IN THE OP!!!!

06/27/2014

-Lockscreen unlock ring in now centered, this derp Samsung/google caused is now fixed for you guys, the problem was in keyguard.apk just so you guys know, edited one line

-Updated google play services

-Enabled touchkey light control for ART users, simply type SU in terminal and then type touchkeys :)

-Updated build.prop

You can probably just wipe caches and flash this update, but if you experience anything please full wipe before you start posting in my threads, I think it's only fair as I full wipe when I test everything I do for you guys, that's sometimes 3-4 times a development day. With this being said I have no further updates planned unless something comes up again, this update was mainly to address the unlock ring not being centered on the lockscreen. Very minor....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dR03:
OK, I absolutely LOVE this ROM!

I have a question though. A while back I flashed my Baseband to M919UVUEMK2 or just "MK2".

I don't really have any issues that I KNOW of with data drops or call issues...is there a reason for me to update the Baseband?

I'm now running 4.4.4 as of today with that same Baseband.

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] romhetman:
If you dont have any problems so enjoy it dont look for them ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] milan guy:
Hi Danvdh.

Thank you for your perfect rom...really it is the best rom i ever used.

I mentioned here before that i am facing serious bug, maybe it is related for something i did, but i will be very appreciated if you help me fix it !!!!

If i access the contacts screen and i made a call, when i finish the call...the contacts screen will freeze and no option will respond there unless i press the home button and go back again.

Please help me with it .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pinoydj:
great rom! i really liked the samsung keyboard. is there a way to get it for this rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
no sir ;) this is a Google ROM, not a Samsung ROM :) try Swype keyboard or swiftkey
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] milan guy:
Yes dani...but i am facing this matter since the beginning and i am carrying this bug with me in all updates.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
not a bug mate, you just need to stop getting that proximity sensor dirty, search this thread man if this doesn't help you

1)Compress air the heck out of you're earpiece speaker for 15-20 seconds getting all angles possible

2) hold you're vacuum cleaner to the ear piece speaker for about 15-20 seconds

this is actually a hardware failure on Samsungs behalf that only happens to people who aren't aware that the earpiece speaker must be manually cleaned and taken care of every once in a while by the S4 owner or this will happen to them on AOSP kit kat ROMs, i use a dollar store toothbrush for this :P

if this doesn't help search the thread about calibrating you're proximity sensor
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] milan guy:
Sir...i already teardown my device and cleaned the proximity sensor...now it works like charm in calls..maybe something else??!!![emoji53][emoji53][emoji53]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Miamicane99:
No longer have root...

So I installed the 4.4.4 update over the top of the previous ROM and I no longer have root... This is a problem. Anybody else?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Uninstall su and reinstall. If that doesn't work clean flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gadianton:
I had to open the SuperSU app and reinstall the binary.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Miamicane99:
SuperSU says that no binary is installed and that it can't install it... This is a cluster**** of a ROM update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gadianton:
For me it said no binary and offered to install normal or via recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
lol

not quite ;) perhaps you should full wipe :P

latest SU binary, latest Superuser app is all included in the ROM, if you dirty flashed theres nothing to be done but full wipe, if you're coming from 4.4.3 then you have no reason to be posting here until you full wipe, read the OP and watch what you say dude, I work my but off bringing you guys updates and fixes, FULL WIPE, install ROM, reboot and I test it all on full wipes, you can do
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Miamicane99:
Yep. Did that. Same result...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
LOL 339 downloads and + my testing tells me its something on you're end, this ROM runs flawless with ROOT when installed just like the OP states,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Miamicane99:
Well, let's see... Your previous ROM ran flawless with root like you say as I was using it. I installed this update over the top like I said which broke root. SuperSU wouldn't reinstall the binary and I had no option to uninstall. I wiped and tried again with the same result. As you can see others have had to take steps to gain root access again. It just so happens those steps aren't working for me. So, as a software engineer to another dev, maybe you should consider the fact that something's up instead of assuming your testing plus a relatively low number of 339 downloads proves anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DevoidDroid:
How do I know what bootloader I have? I know I'm on NB4 baseband.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Try the latest TWRP recovery

if you look in the ROM zip you will notice it contains

Superuser.apk in system/app

su binary in system/xbin

and all other prerequisites in /system/etc

the updater script lines are all there as well so I don't know what else to tell you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nestoh:
Just do a full wipe and clean install. This has been taken notice not to report issues when you're doing a dirty install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PENKO956:
well "mr software engineer" just simply dev your own rom so you dont have to have any issues. calm down bro update was release yesterday and has already 339dl. you said you did a full wipe and still get same results. easy fix. switch roms :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dR03:
Thank you!

I guess more to the point, is there a possibility that I can get BETTER data speeds/connection if I were to update my baseband to current?

Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Miamicane99:
So here's what I ended up doing to resolve the issue: First I tried switching to the latest TWRP, did another full wipe and flashed the ROM which left me with the same result: No root access. So, I just wiped again and flashed CM11 (an older nightly that I happen to have on my phone but it shouldn't matter) and when I rebooted I had root again. I then went back to recovery, wiped and reflashed this ROM and then I had root access. No idea why it happened to begin with but if it happens to anyone else hopefully this helps.

I wasn't really trying to get on the OP's case but losing root isn't really the same as some other small bug in a ROM. And I'm not even saying it's definitely a bug in the ROM it could have been some freak occurrence but as I said, others were at least having issues with having to reinstall binaries to regain root so something may be amiss.

Solution

Flash the attached in recovery and this should solve your SU install/update problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] braschlosan:
Dirty flashed the current 4.4.4 release over 4.4.2

Had problems with SU not working, ktweaker settings not applying right and the xposed framework needing reinstalled. Once I worked them out everything is ok

I did notice that the "torch" widget/app had been removed so I just restored it as a system app from titanium backup and it works fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Drizzythebiker:

SCH-1545

[MENTION=218503]Dan[/MENTION], I just bought today a Sim Unlocked Verizon Samsung Gqalaxy S4 SCH-1545, running stock 4.3 w/knox. Is there a way to flash it with a T-Mobile stock rom, same 4.3 version, then root it and flash GPE 4.4.4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] romhetman:
Ask this in yours device topic how can we know the answer if we own T-Mobile device. But my opinion is that probably you can't...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
HUP HOLLAND HUP!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ispot:
wrong answer

Appreciate your answer, but I want to hear it from Dan. I know this phone is not a T-Mobile phone, and just to let you know, I have 1 S5 TM, 2 S4 TM, 1 N3 TM as well, and I am running Dan's ROM 4.4.4 on both S4. The reason for my question is because I never hated anything in my life as I hate Verizon & AT&T, and that's why I want to know if I can convert this third S4 to a TM or International. I bought this phone because it is Sim Unlocked and I got it for a great deal.

Do I just use the wipe button or do more of an advanced wipe?

I ran into a problem while flashing, I get a really quick installation, then on reboot nothing happens. It sits on the gs4 screen and never goes into the ROM. This is after a factory reset wipe. I tried to restore back to the sickness and it sits on the boot loader screen forever. Never actually boots.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Bad download. Your backup isn't flashing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkart99:
I re downloaded the ROM and it went through and works fine. I suspect I also wasn't clearing the cache and dalvik.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rahlquist:
I think in part it has to do with what kind of area you are in coverage wise. I think what happens (from what I observed before I went knox) is that after your phone cycles through the various coverage types due to weak signals the modem eventually hangs, possibly due to a system call that doesnt match up with the cobbled together modem combination. If you live in an area where a total loss of service isnt likely then you're less likely to experience this issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dawgdoc96:
This is the boot loader/modem combo I'm on. I do lose service at work, but usually good elsewhere. Would I benefit by going to newest boot loader? Is it worth getting Knox? Thanks.

This ROM is running great, thanks for it, too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] romis138:
does this rom support screen-wide Google now searching, as has been rolling out since the I/o keynote - Google now at lock screen, within any app, etc?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Only if you have occasional data drops. The hybrid set up didn't work well for me, and I even lost signal in area I know well that I should have full bars. I haven't experienced anything like that since I upgraded to the newest bootloader.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] synahnew:
Since we are all on the subject of signal I would like to ask a question that's been bothering me since I first flash the very first kik kat build and move to the mk2 modem.. So ever since then my phone always shown one bar of signal strength. And even now that I switch to the nb4 modem it's still the same issue. Now the thing you need to know is as soon as I receive a call or I make one then the bars go straight up to 3 or 4 and there's never break in a connection. But as soon as I hang up the call it goes back to one bar.. Yes weird I know. . Has anyone else had this issue since if no one has then I guess there is no fix for this problem since like I said before this all started happening as soon as I came to kik kat about 8 months ago and still no fix after countless wipes and new builds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Does it switch from lte to 3g/Hspa when you make the call? If so then that's why and its normal
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] synahnew:
That's just the thing I always have my data off to save power. I always use wifi though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Then yeah its switching between LTE and wcdma, its normal.. if you want higher signal just switch to gsm/wcdma only since you don't even use data
