Actually, Dans was out first. He has had this version out since they both got the Rom. It might look familiar because both roms were made by Google. Perhaps they didn't have to change the things that you say are the same.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Husam2011:
I NEED HELP!

Every Google Edition rom i've tried has lower signal than TW roms. I can't get any signal in my school, where i used to get atleast 1 bar :(

Do i have to flash the 4.3 modem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pomacat:
That might be a good idea
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
You obviously haven't followed the development of both 4.4 roms and the synergy between both developers and members in trying to figure out a couple of big issues. Both devs have given proper credit and gratitude and your comment bothers me because you have no idea what's been going on with this two roms in the last three weeks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bankanidhi:
Ext SD card not detected. Any solution. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
It's not a kang, they've both been collaborating with their Roms. Mr Virginia's is supposed to provide a stock experience hence "virgin rom" whole Dan's has lots of added mods. Please be more considerate when falsely accusing somebody of kanging as that's something highly frowned upon. If you are going to do that, please keep it within PM's since these forums don't need anymore drama.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
just gonna chime in here and say that the stuff Bubba is mentioning is not app related with Google's software updates and thus had to have been pulled from my builds because it is something you have to change since it's not stock. although Dan had 4.4.2 uploaded before me, again, the stuff mentioned here has been out and baked into my VirginROM series of builds long before Dan came along on the threads. users might not be aware because they don't know how to look/what to look for, but other devs will know almost straight away and that is what is happening here.

i will be more than happy to pull the stock versions of both of the files that Bubba has mentioned above (and any others that have been modified) and post them, then show everyone my changelogs, and point them to places in my thread which will serve as proof that i implemented the changes long before Dan released anything to show that at least what Bubba is saying here has some truth to it.

i honestly don't care. it's just... sorta strange i suppose.

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

unfortunately, me and Dan did not collaborate on the changes mentioned above. they are not stock because i made the changes myself. further, these are changes Dan made and did not let his users know so that they are aware. i call these "background" changes.

regardless, there is no drama. Dan and i are friends. no one is attacking anyone here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
This is very correct. Mr Virginia even told me how to make my own base. I wouldn't have released early if it wasn't for him. As for the apns. Mine is pulled from CM since it gives me data immediately here i canada, stock does not. other changes such as platform.XML are changes both of us knew about. I will admit I studied mr.v's work but I didn't just make a working folder, and call it my work. This ROM is an original system pull from my phone. There are things mr.v has implemented that I will not touch just to keep the 2 Roms different, I also post proper credits and sources
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
thanks for letting everyone know you pulled some more things over, mate ;)

no big deal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Then disregard the first half of my post, oops :-\ lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Yep its not a pissing contest. Its just 2 developers trying to push out the best possible build for the user base. Either way, they are 2 completely different system pulls, mr.v's changes were too much of an improvement to not bake in (GPS.CONF), but it works both ways, I removed the volume distortion in 4.4 and shared the method to benefit the users of both these great ROMs. As for the photo and video changes. This is exclusive to virginROM

Keep in mind guys. Android is open source, anyone familiar with GIT and building from source will know that forking and cherry picking is part of the game, this is all to benefit the user base

I THINK [MENTION=2651267]mrvirginia[/MENTION] at one point said that with all the newer GPE roms, that the phone would not charge plugged in if turned off.

Is that true or is that no longer a problem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HenryTheUnicorn:
From 30fps all the way to 65FPS? Holy crap.

Won't that cause problems? How is it possible to force the camera to record at higher frame rates?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
won't get that high but it's capped at 65FPS now, no bottlenecks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] spikedzombies:
Dan is there a way to disable to OTA for 4.4.2 notification? I tried to do it in Busybox but it didnt work.. I dont want to accidentally click it before I get a chance to update to your 4.4.2

and do I have to reflash the 4.3 modem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HenryTheUnicorn:
Is the "not charging while phone is off" bug fixed? Or is that a bootloader problem that cant be fixed at all?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaZart:
Why add in ES? And I assume it's uninstallable by normal means as it's a system app but can still be uninstalled with a root app?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
it's going to be a user app, it's just for initial start up, it's nice to have a file manager at first boot for emergency purposes, other ROMs ship the stock filemanager and I refuse to use that

can be uninstalled normally or deleted from /data with root explorer, don't matter, it's only 2mb and gives you full system access at fresh boot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
ES file manager is the best!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
What is this you speak off Dan?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
A ton of tweaks and optimizations I've been adding in one by one and testing out, benchmarks, you name it.

Also brought out my hatred for Samsung and removed the CSC, I always hated that stuff anyway, Pure google does not need CSC
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:

Do I kiss you now or later.lol **** is smoother on latest ROM.noticed additional built.prop info.

Using art!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
yep build.prop def got a overhaul this update, Framework-res was also decompiled to enable all rotations, and well the list is to big to go over everything :P

the scrolling is MILES better, it's also nice that users can now uninstall xposed and the modules if they do not want them
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
Whatever you did was awesome.very smooth on art.I notice silkness and fast scrolling with out hiccups finally.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] flying_pigs:
Holy cow. This is so smooth. Well done sir.

Any chance we can get a fix for the Home button lag and we're using ART? I know you can remap the button in gravity box but you can't have ART. I would be super grateful.

I'm using art it's not set by default.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roblxskye:
I dirty flashed from virginrom everything working just fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
I'm going to sleep guys, glad no one is reporting issues. 4.4.2 is a base well worth putting some time into, I notice an improvement and there were alot of weird scripts and tweaks I tried and laughed at because they did absolutely nothing at all, some even lowered benchmarks, I think this is a good set of enhancements to make the ROM that much better, It also brings the ROM closer to "true" AOSP by eliminating CSC.

enjoy it

Is there an option in the setting of the network to get 4G signal (My Videotron provider has up to 4G connectivity) ?

That's the only reason that is holding me back from staying on this ROM (currently back to stock)...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] polo79:
Yeah you have to dismiss the call if you want to continue with the call you are on. Otherwise you can't hear the other person.

Danv, just to summarize, when you get a call while on a call it isn't the normal beep like usual call waiting, it is the ringing sound like you are calling someone. I'm guessing it is something baked into the 4.4.2 rom....any thoughts? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Hmmm no idea
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] itzik_man:
Yes, Videotron does have a 4G network !

And the download speed is up to 42 Mbps.

With stock firmware I have the 4G indicator in my status bar, once I install this ROM, I am stack with a 3G radio indicator only !

I will stick to stock (4.3) as long as there is no solution to the radio signal.

By the way: On stock I get network speed up to 19.18 Mbps & with this ROM I get 7 to 8 Mbps max.

At the end of day this ROM is not the most practical ROM for my usage (I use allot of downloads with my 6GB data plan)

Use Boat Browser. Let's you select external. I use it all the time.

Network Problems Tmobile

I just wiped and installed this rom.I noticed at my signal is not nearly as good as other roms so I did some digging in the build.prop . I keeps referring to my phone as a CDMA device however its GSM. Does anyone know how to fix this, tried reflashing the modem and editing the build.prop myself and nothing, it will work if I manually connected but then it will drop after a min or so. anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Just stop what you are doing, there is nothing wrong with the signal. AOSP reports the TRUE signal in the status bar and touchwiz lies to you and says you have more then you actually do. how do they do this? it's very easy, all they do is mod systemUI and fool you with some images ;), they had a 5th signal bar for one on the S3, AOSP has 4 (This was the case on the S3 anyway), so this allows them to give you and extra bar of signal, there might also be some alterations to telephonyicons.smali located in a decompiled systemui.apk, This is a well known fact that Samsung/Carriers have been doing this, It's a marketing ploy to make their phones look better. It's a dirty little trick ;)

if you go into settings>about phone>status and compare signal strength they will be consistent, the build.prop is set up perfectly, you need to make sure you are on the latest MK modem and data is fine, relax bud and take my word for it.

Glad I took the time to eliminate that pesky CSC, no idea why Samsung shipped that junk in a GE ROM, less crap running in the background that is meant for touchwiz, not android from source...

hope this helps
