Hey jrkruse,

Just wanted to thank you for your efforts and I have to say that your ROMS have always been top notch for me.

I've tried some of these other ones where things just don't feel the same. ;)

Anyway... Love your work..

And actually I hate to bring this up as I'm sure it's just me, but have you seen any issues with Vmail notification?

Haven't had a new one since I flashed but I have old ones and I was pretty sure it used to check on a reboot.

Thank you sir..

Stock 4.4.2 TW KitKat XXUFNC9 Rom For Verizon S4 MDK BootLoader

Removed because of updated rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Thanks - decided to do a nandroid and give this a look.

One thing - am I blind, or is the Samsung email app missing? I need that for work email, but am not seeing it in the app drawer for some reason, and you don't mention removing it, and I didn't uncheck it during install (don't remember seeing it as an option).

Just checked again, and it's definitely missing from the app drawer, and the Add Accounts section doesn't have corporate email or exchange email as options.

If you could post the 4.4 samsung email apks I can just push to the apps directory myself. I could also pull them from another TW 4.4 ROM, but would like to avoid another >1 gig download if possible. :)

Oops - the Samsung Calendar is missing as well.

So in Aroma I did deselect some things I usually have in your other Aroma setups, possibly "Samsung Apps" as well (not sure, don't remember 100%). Is that it? Your other ROMs had a specific page where we could select the email app w/out security, so maybe since that option isn't in this installer I have to install something I didn't in the past? Just spitballin' here. :)

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
I think I just plain forgot them. Thats a big OOPS!! I will post a fix

I flashed your 4-7 build and Pandora still won't stream over LTE. The OP says this was addressed. I attach a logcat for you. It'll only stream 15 seconds and skip to the next song.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Great, thanks! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JCBiznatch:
Dang, I need that as well. Great work though...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Did some looking, and the calendar apk is in the app directory... SecCalendar_SPen.apk. Though a icon doesn't appear in the app tray.

Can I pull the sec_email and sec_exchange apks from golden eye and use them? Or are more files needed? I have the golden eye ROM on my SD card so that's easy.

GPS refuses to lock on this ROM for me. Tried multiple apps to reset AGPS data, but nothing helps. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Working fine for me - able to get my location, able to start navigation, etc.

I assume you did a full wipe before installing, and are you using the newest version, from 4/7?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] raziel36:
Why would you assume I did this properly?! I'm on the newest version, but did not full wipe. Just crossed fingers... everything else works fine, guess it's time to wipe and try again. Thought I'd gotten lucky, until I needed to navigate. It's been a very long time since I'd had GPS problems.. was hoping for an easier fix.

Edit: Started over, with full wipe. Still no lock. Now I'm puzzled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
'Cause I assumed your momma raised you right! ;)

Having NEVER EVER flashed without a full wipe myself (yeah, right) I'm shocked, shocked at your behavior.

:)

Just saw your updated reply - I'm confused as well. Sorry - no idea why it isn't working for you, I've had no issues.

Just wanted to note that this seems to work for me - I pulled the two files (sec emal and sec exchange) from golden eye, pushed them to apps and set permissions (during which I got a couple "email has stopped" messages), rebooted and use Wanam security fix, and set up accounts and all seems to be working fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
GPS also isnt locking for me. I did a clean install. Until a fix, I gotta go back to Goldeneye.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Weird, I wonder if it's due to a choice I made in Aroma during install.

I have High Accuracy setting for location in Settings. Just tested with Wi-Fi off, got a lock, ten satellites, 10 foot accuracy at work between buildings. Using GPS Test app. Also get a lock in Google Maps.

Stock 4.4.2 TW KitKat Rom For Verizon S4 XXUFNC9 International Build Aroma Installer.(PLEASE NOTE: 4.4.2 TW rom does not work with SafeStrap!!!)

4.4.2 Roms (Not For Use With SafeStrap)

VZW_XXUFNC9_4_8_14.zip

Features:

Stock

Choose what apps you want on install

KT 4.4.2 TW Kernel

Removed Carrier ID from lockscreen and pull down notification panel.

Bugs:

Pin lock screen sometimes has a lag on reboot before it brings up the pin screen so it could be unlocked by swiping for a second or two

Time may not auto update or may be off an hour. Uncheck auto time zone, set to your time zone reboot then recheck auto time zone

Stock MMS does not send MMS on wifi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mettee:
I had a lock issue when I first started using this rom, same scenario.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Thanks, Jkruse.

Just an FYI, what I'm seeing on the lock screen is that for hot reboots the PIN lock screen comes up immediately, which is nice.

For regular reboots, the swipe lock screen appears and stays until the screen goes to sleep, 10+ seconds, and when I wake the screen up the PIN lock screen appears then. So full PIN security really isn't there for me at this point (which was expected), but I also haven't seen the kind of short few second lag like you described yet.

Thanks for the ROM, and the update!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] raziel36:


Going from the 4-7 update, can we just uncheck all Aroma options to only get the system changes without affecting the previous install options?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
I can't imagine what. I figured it should work right out of the box regardless of Aroma settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
That's what you'd expect...but we are a little cutting edge. :)

Just dirty flashed the 4/9 update, still have GPS lock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thesoldier:
jrkruse explained this in his patch thread.. What you're gonna want to do is flash back to his stock 4.3 ROM, obtain a lock, then flash this ROM. I have no idea why that should happen but it worked perfectly for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JCBiznatch:
Is there working hot spot on this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
This method should work I dont know why only a few have this problem

Doing the cutting with a razor blade and the rope holding it together is thin as a thread!!

Yes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
I am curious if you believe, Jkruse, that the PIN lock will work normally on MDK after we get a VZW KitKat build to work from, or if the issue will persist? Any idea on that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
It's a bootloader issue so we might be stucl
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
Will that have to be done every time we update your ROM? I'm looking for a ROM that, once installed, I can just dirty flash when an update is available.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
No one time should do it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
OK I'll give it a shot. Did I read on here that there's extra battery styles? I tried looking were you said they were earlier, My device > downloads and extras I think, but I didn't see options like downloads and extras.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
I have not added any mods to this rom yet except removing the roaming indicator off on the lock screen and adding a 5X6 stock launcher as a choice in the installer. I have been working on stability not mods when the rom has the bugs worked out I will start working on mods
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JCBiznatch:
Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
Gotcha. I got the GPS working using Eclipse 3.0 (4.3 ROM). What I kept doing before was getting a lock with Eclipse and then doing a TWRP restore of this ROM but that didn't work. So then I used Eclipse again to get a lock I did a clean install of your latest version and whammo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crossen0:
Sorry if it's been already stated but why can't stock mms send mms while on WiFi? And that means I can use a third party app and it will work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JCBiznatch:
I couldn't get wifi tether to work, does anyone have a working app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
The tether for me took a couple minutes to show up from my computer but it eventually did and works. I've tried a lot of tether apps from the Play Store and while they used to work in the past, nowadays, they suck and only the stock built-in tether app works every time. This has been my experience.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JCBiznatch:
I found out what the problem was. It was the theme I flashed. Not sure why but I kept getting no Internet access every time I tried to connect. Did a clean flash and this beast is running smooth with only one bug. Visual voice mail.... When you try to listen to a voice mail it won't play. ..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chetqwerty:
Why? There is aproblem that plagues the native messaging app actually way back to the S3. It cant temporarily switch off the WiFi connection in order to send the MMS over 4G, (we all know that it's impossible to actually send MMS over WiFi right? Good!). That said I've been using Verizon Messaging for a couple years now and it's not affected by this problem and can switch off WiFi, start 4G, send the MMS, shut off the 4G and turn WiFi back on without a hitch. Hope that helps!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JCBiznatch:

Here is an update patch that should fix most of the problems. Screen lock pin works now. Data loss has been improved. Wifi tethering should work better. just flash the patch and reboot!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
I guess I should say this is only if your using a GSM Sim in your phone. Not for Verizon users.

You need to change the build.prop line

telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1

change too

telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0

Any more ideas? I really like this rom but I can't even get any data even with the correct apn settings. I'm on TMOBILE. Maybe it's something in aroma installer I should avoid? I have no network mode to choose from.

Edit: I got LTE working by unchecking the Berear option BUT I cannot send SMS or anything. It's just LTE .

Any way we could get a fix for Verizon visual voice mail? That is the only problem I'm having.

I'm trying to figure out how to change all icons to HTC, does anyone know of a flashable sense theme for this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
why dont you just flash a regular international rom? If your running tmobile sim in verizon phone you dont need to run this rom or use any patches. Just make sure you have the loki doki.zip onyour sd card so you can flash it right after you flash an international rom so it loki's the boot image
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 420haxr:
The international rom u have on the other thread? Full wipe then flash international rom then flash loki doki.zip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Just pick one you like do a full wipe first install then loki doki zip then reboot. then setup you will probably have to add your apn settings

Where do I get that loki doki.zip file? I wanted to use a rom with 4.4.2 TW. Is this the only one ? Thanks for the quick reply ?

Aw yeah thanks! Worked perfectly after a couple snags. For anyone else wanting to do this I'll clarify. The outdated version of SQLite Editor in the link kept force closing on me, which was version 1.4.1. I used version 2.0.1 from here: http://upfile.mobi/294733 which worked. Also, in the newer version, there isn't an "edit record" option when you select the notification field. Instead, there's an edit button up top. Other than that, it worked perfect. Thanks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
This rom is an internation base rom but it is modified to work with verizon the build,prop is different and framework files have been modded. Thats why the international roms wont work on verizon phones without using my patch which contains all these mods that are in this rom

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Also got this message, getting a little freaked out. I've never seen this type of message before. Is this new KitKat, or am I hacked?

[edit] From additional searching it appears this is related to Knox/Samsung security - there is a "Send Security Reports" option evidently in the Settings>Security section (though I'm not seeing that on my phone w/this ROM). I swiped it off notifications and will see if it pops up again. Any ideas on this on, Jkruse? Something else that needs to be removed, or an after-affect of fixing the PIN lockscreen?

I took it and immediately rooted, recovery, etc before the battery had a charge. Loaded the GE vzw edition, everything was perfect except the GPS; it would never lock..

After a week of trying everything, I backed up loaded a TW 4.3 stock/rooted image..

Got a GPS lock in my basement accurate to 10' it said.. Restored my GE and have had perfect GPS response since.
