Faux custom kernel 11/30/2013 014 (both M and U) doesn't play well with TMO, lot of reboots and color issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] itzik_man:
Danvdh - I had a question in the early posting with no answer ?

Is this ROM compatible with the Videotron version S4 M919V, will it run without issues on their 4G network (no LTE)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dulanic:
This ROM is officially my favorite! I've tried all the KitKat ROM's and this by far has the best of everything. Best battery, best speed... It just works! It's more stable than a lot of 4.3 ROM's.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] InspiresMe:
Just installed this rom and upgraded the modem. Noticed that I would randomly lose data connection and when people call me it says my number is out of service.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrgonzodad:
Some people have had to flash the modem several times to make it stick, does the device status show mk2 baseband?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
For some reason, Tumblr keeps force closing on me. Firefox did that once too. I don't know if it's because the apps aren't quite compatible with Kit Kat or something is wrong with my flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] InspiresMe:
yep baseband says mk2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Shazam was just updated to work today, assuming your on a clean flash i'd say just let app dev's work out issues on 4.4.2

its brand new
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] imanoobfml:
The OTA was like November something. Or do you mean the lte coverage?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] style154:
Sorry LTE coverage. I know when they rolled it out in phoenix I had spotty coverage and slower 4g speeds
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spacemonkie4207:
I have no issues with 3g. I find that LTE cuts in and out also kills battery. Not a ROM issue, just hasn't been set up in most areas.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] itzik_man:
To insure your modem flash works, do this:

Before you start the flash process, remove the phone back door cover !

Immediate after the modem flash finished & while your phone is in reboot, just at the moment you see the Samsung bootloader flash (the first one); Remove the battery !

Then insert the battery back & start the phone, and your modem version should stick.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] imanoobfml:
That's probably it then. I'm having no issues with the 3G service as well. LTE is just bad at the moment I suppped. 3G speed is decent anyways.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cosmos10040:
How do I enable s- view again. I had disabled it before. But now I want it back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lobster!:
Did I flash wrong?

Absolutely everything is slow as a snail, and things are force closing left and right.

I wiped everything too.

---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

Okay scratch that, a few reboots fixed it.

But now wifi doesn't start..?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
The file you have might be corrupted. The first file I downloaded was giving me a lot of issues when I flashed it, then I downloaded it a second time, wiped everything, reflashed. Now everything works fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spacemonkie4207:
Yeah, 3G is fast enough for me, I'm guessing in a couple of years LTE will be more available. Right now it seems to be mostly in urban areas.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] imanoobfml:
The T-Mobile website says my area (Chicago) should have "excellent" coverage. But oh well.

Left Side/Right Side Notifications Menu?

I'm coming from CM 11. In CM, you can have it so when you pull down the notifications drawer it is different for each side you pull from. If you pull from the right side you get the classic notifications menu, and if you pull from the left side you get the quick settings menu. Is this something that can be done in this ROM? If not, is there an add-on? And, if neither of these, is this something that could be put into future releases? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cosmos10040:
you can change those settings in gravity box
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Delicate Donut:
My signal keeps going to poop. A lot of times I have no data at all and its starting to get really annoying. What radio works best with this? I have the MDL one I believe. Don't know what the newest one is, been out of the game a while lol. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
you NEED the latest modem

search this thread, plenty of answers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kill_dano:
I flahsed the two latest incremental updates while on 02/6/13 rom. Now I'm stuck on the booting animation, or if I wipe dalvik it's stuck on "starting apps" after it builds the dalvik cache. Re-flashed the 2/06 rom alone and the problem remains. fixing permissions gives me a failed error. I have spent alot of time setting up tasker and other stuff, so I'd really like to salvage this install. Any ideas?

I've got ADB running. What directories do I pull if I want to save all my apps and most especially the app's data like my tasker tasks and gravity box settings?

FYI I did a nandroid backup and used titanium backup to restore apps from the nandroid.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] InspiresMe:
Still the same issue. I got to restart the phone for signal to come back. I'm not sure what else I should do. Should I try the previous modem. Is there a download link for it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Naddict:
Thread cleaned, let's do a reset in here regarding respect when posting.

Guys, this must be the most common question that's being asked in this thread and you personally can't do anything about it, but it does get annoying for the regulars that visit this thread.

There are several posts in this thread that explain it and there are several separate threads dedicated to this issue on XDA.

for one, go here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2546024

You need to have the MK2 baseband with the MDL LTE modem. So basically, you're running 2 different modems, one that covers the GSM/UMTS spectrum (MK2 baseband) and one that covers the whole LTE spectrum (MDL baseband).

And also, you only need to do this if you don't want to trip the KNOX counter. If you don't care about that, do a clean factory install of the 4.3 T-Mobile update, and then do a full wipe and flash Danvdh's ROM. Then you should have no modem issues.

If you don't now what you're doing though, can't follow instructions, can't read or can't figure things out for yourself, I highly recommend you just stick to the stock ROM, remove root and just be happy with what you have. (no offense)

The ROM doesn't require a particular recovery as far as I'm concerned. I've been using TWRP to flash roms ever since I got my S4, no problem whatsoever.

Thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sakete:
Use TWRP 2.5.0.2, it's apparently one of the more stable ones out there. I tried the newest version a couple weeks back and it would regularly give me issues (such as freezing on the Teamwin splash screen). Ever since I installed 2.5.0.2 it's been working without any hiccups so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aybesea69:
I've been running for over a week now and I positively love this ROM. I do have two small problems though, and wondered if anyone has an answer.

1) Adaway isn't blocking like it does on my tablet (JB). It worked fine before kitkat, but some stuff is slipping through now.

2) Call Master no longer blocks calls from ringing (root call blocker) even though it is configured correctly.

A ideas?

Amazing ROM!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
1) to block people and send them to voice mail open the people app, find the contact and open it and hit menu and check off "send to voice mail" no need for an app to do this on vanlila android

2) app needs to update for more kit kat support then, Shazam just got updated this week to work on kit kat and its been out since December

enjoy the rom mate

I messed up and softbricked installing TWRP

I am currently back on stock with not modem.

Here is where it is at:

CWM installed

SU installed

Android 4.2.2

Baseband M919UVUEMK2

Kernel 3.4.0-440244

Build JDQ39.M919UVUAMDB

I wish to move to 4.4.2 with the phone rooted.

I have tried to move to MDL with odin, but get a FAIL!

Could someone please help?

Thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aybesea69:
No... The built in send to voice mail doesn't scratch the surface of coupling Call Master with Tasker. That's why I'm so interested. I can set up multiple profiles and get some really cool list based and situation based results. Like... When I'm at work, and a family member calls, and then an SMS stating that if it's an emergency then call back within 5 minutes and the phone will ring, otherwise just sms or vm me. That Kind of thing.

Yes, it definitely says applying, but it misses a lot that used to get caught.

You have the proper modem, it's the the MK2 that is needed to avoid signal drops. I'm wondering, you might have knox. Have you ever did the OTA update to 4.3 TW?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] IamaznX:
-Will I need to flash a 4.3 modem if I didn't OTA to 4.3? (current rom is a custom 4.2.2 Touchwiz based rom)

-Will flashing a 4.3 modem install Knox on my phone?

-Will I be able to charge the phone while off if I didn't OTA to 4.3?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] imanoobfml:
If you didn't do the 4.3 OTA you don't have Knox and well, if you did, then you do have Knox. Flashing the MK2 modem won't give you Knox. But also flashing the MK2 modem alone won't be sufficient. You need to use the hybrid modem which someone linked in an earlier post. If you're still running 4.2.2 and getting good service I guess you wouldn't NEED to flash a 4.3 modem. Only if you would like to flash newer versions you would need the MK2 or the hybrid.

This ROM is phenomenal in terms of the battery life, with ART enabled I had 4 hours of screen-on time, and still 20% left! Today, 15 hours up (1h screen-on time) , and still at 75%!

It seems that the problem with face unlock was due to older gapps version that I used.

If my phone dies, how will I charge it if it doesn't charge while off?

Usually, when your phone "dies" it typically has enough juice left to at least turn back on temporarily. If it dies, turn it on and immediately plug it when when it does.

UPDATE IN THE OP

02/17/2014

-Unlocked the dialer, we now have a world phone

-Unlocked every network mode available for our modem, (Settings - More - Mobile networks - Preferred network)

-Enabled in call noise suppression (no idea why they didn't include this, I guess they forgot we have a noise cancelling mic? lol)

-Disabled CSP from the dialer, we now have full control over the phone and what networks we can choose (might not affect your carrier but this is useful for traveling, trust me)

-Tweaked my indoor auto brightness values, still using too much juice in medium/high indoor light, this is much better

-Enabled app ops in Settings > Security, Take total control of the permissions apps are granted when you install them from google play, VERY useful if you are concerned about privacy or you just don't want some misc app seeing your SMS's or having network permissions

-Added CM file manager to help users setup the ROM faster, This is actually a very nice app with lots of options and it works on ART. it's TINY too!

-Removed the buggy/useless/unsecure/lame/stupid face lock feature

-Updated Gravity box

-Updated build.prop

*DO NOT FLASH ANY MODS UNTIL I UPDATE THEM*

-The stock white dialer zip will remain locked with only 3 network modes to choose from, sorry

also to all my American Hockey Fans following this years Olympics

Alternatively, GravityBox has an option for volume rocker wake in the Navigation keys actions section.

I've run across the same issue. Pie doesn't work for me after enabling it in GravityBox either. I noticed this a few versions ago, but didn't worry about it too much as I don't use Pie much anyway. I only enabled it just to see how it felt using that its read if the hardware keys.

Pie works. Try making your trigger area bigger.
