I had a few issues today on 1.3

- Phone overheating after a voice call and huge battery drain

- Non responsive touch screen

I know the latter has been reported by others. Has anyone experienced the former? I'll update to 1.5 and hopefully those two issues are addressed (or were a fluke).

Gee...looks like a 1.6 weekly about 6hrs after the 1.5 :cyclops:

Been running for 5 days!

Been running this ROM for 5 days (1.6 weekly).

Very stable. Almost doubled my battery life from CM10.2. Not what I could achieve with TouchWiz (4.3.1) but I hate TouchWiz so... :o

Only problems I encountered are gray picture when using HDR and MTP taking some time to give access to my cards (internal and external SD).

Good work! Always loved SlimROMs on my S2! Got addicted to DPI change!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] CPA Poke:
It is up for review on Gerrit, but it's fully functional. I imagine it will get merged in with this next weekly....but, you can use this build that I compiled with TRDS 3.0 cherry-picked in :)

Enjoy :)

EDIT: So I didn't even realize this was the Canadian thread, my bad guys. You can still flash the ROM I posted, just make sure you flash a Can kernel on top of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] fidorulz:
Anyone know if dpi for the phone can be changed on 4.4 like prior roms. No option currently

Also hope all options return like power widget and others
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] fattest:
Use a root browser to change the dpi in build.prop. mine is set to 220 and works great.

Loving this ROM so far!! Very quick and camera is better than the last one I tried.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] fidorulz:
Thanks. I knew of cm and the power widget which is why I stuck with slim which was one of the last to still offer it.

I don't like the ribbon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] Torlugic:
Got a problem just updated to latest 4.4.2 from 4.3.1 build 2.2 and my external sdcard is not working properly.

No apps install from external all giving parsing errors.

If I transfer a working .apk to external card it stops working also.

Liking the new 4.4.2 but need this fixed :)

Flashing back to 4.3.1 for now

Edit: when I was trying to uninstall apps from Tibu and then reboot the apps would still be there once the phone rebooted.

Edit: Since I Have flashed back to 4.3.1 there have been no external SD trouble everything is as it was.

From reading around I might need to confirm it formatted to Fat32 as others with a 64gb card have had similar issues with not being read. I have no computer so might be awhile.

The phone formatted the SD card when I put it in new over the holidays and was running slim 4.3.1 build 2.2 when I formatted it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] Ramrod421:
Can I possibly request an update to the title of this thread. It suggests that this ROM is old and has not been updated since December 8th. I'm loving this ROM BTW. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] smartechno:
Found another glitch i dont know if you are aware of it or not in this rom. Internet phones dont work i tried multiple sip phones. I can hear the caller but they cant hear me.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
Many nexus 7 (and I believe nexus 5) users have had the annoying problem of losing the ability of their windows pc recognizing the nexus as a mtp device. In my case this happens every time I have to root the device. Something about installing the necessary adb drivers seems to mess up the ability of Windows 7 to install the correct driver for mtp access. Typically, the nexus will connect in ptp (camera) mode but not ptp. Updating the android phone driver just doesn't change anything. I tried all the recommended steps but nothing worked till now. Here is what worked.

After rooting, my Windows device manager showed only one entry related to the nexus 7. It was an entry for "android phone" and within it was an entry for "Google nexus ADB interface".

**there was NO entry for "portable devices" **

1. In device manager, with the nexus connected via usb cable, I clicked on the "Google nexus ADB interface" (inside android phone entry) and selected to update the driver, then selected "browse my computer for driver software", chose "c:\Windows" and - this is what is different - selected **let me pick.... **

2. The resulting options included 2 choices, but no mtp option, and I selected "Google nexus ADB interface"

3. When it installed, suddenly "portable devices" appeared in the Windows device manager with nexus 7 in it !! But with the yellow error symbol.

4. Next, I right clicked on the "portable devices /Nexus 7" entry and updated it as usual. Yellow error icon disappeared and now mtp works fine.

The important points are that

- standard 'update the driver' does not restore the mtp driver (perhaps because the correct Windows driver is in a different location and has an older date), but selecting one of the 2 offered choices in **let me pick.... ** within the c:\Windows\ directory worked to recreate the entry for "portable devices" and when that was updated, mtp connection was restored and I could copy and transfer files via usb cable!

Hope this helps someone else. Thank you Vyom for verifying this worked and refining my description to make it more precise.

Hey this might b a dumb question but.. i know along time ago you could hold down the home button while on the lockscreen to turn on flash light is there any way we can set this up on our phone? i use that flash light app a ton and i hate having to unlock phone or try to drag my finger up on a app to start it

Wanam xposed. Tweak is available to turn flashlight on by holding volume up when screen is off. Works well
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StaticMatt:
Wanam works as mentioned, but personally I had better experience with XuiMod. The lock screen torch in XuiMod works during the lock screen and let's you choose which button you would like, I have mine set to the Home button. Lot easier and more responsive than Wanam from my experience.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FourPointedFreak:
I've got my set up on the Volume button with Wanam as well. Great experience on my end, fast, responsive - allows a timeout to auto turn off if you'd like.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teslarage:
I was wondering what are the default Sony apps that are safe to deactivate (in Applications -> Select app -> Deactivate). Did anybody ever try to remove apps such as Social Life, Sony Select & al. ?

If not, let this become our experimentation thread!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gripfly:
You have to use google a bit ;)

Yes you can deaktivate some apps or remove them with titanium backup. But you always have to be carefully.

Social life and sony select I deleted fully from system.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cookie Ninja:
I usually delete the following:

1, Google/system bloat.

Gmail, G+, Maps, Talk/Hangouts, street view, contact sync, calendar sync, backup transport, Google Play Services, Chrome (replaced with stock JB browser), one time init, partner setup, partner bookmarks, partner bookmarks res overlay, browser provider, browser provider res overlay, autoupload photo, picassa, Facebook, Twitter, all live wallpapers,

2. Sony bloat.

Sony select, Sociallife, Sony music & Sony liv (last 2 backed up in es file explorer & reinstalled as user apps), all social engine/ connect /plugins/ share apps that are towards the end for linking to Facebook & Twitterl (Xperia*.*.apk)...

Result: A safe, secure and fast phone that doesn't store your data, photos or calendar/ any data with anyone else, and runs fast. Battery life is 6+ hrs constant use, nearly 2 day's on moderate use.

Nope, I have locked bootloader. It's stock all right.... No UV, no custom freq scaling control. Just judicious control over apps that can run ay boot, be present in system/app(priv-app) partition, and control over internet/run control only.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gripfly:
Wow!

a question: What 'one time init, partner setup, partner bookmarks, partner bookmarks res overlay, browser provider, browser provider res overlay' do in system?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cookie Ninja:
Use an app that can browse system/user apps (I use System tuner) see the system apps. Google one time init sets up Google account preferences and links attached apps/services on adding a new account. Not necessary if you already have logged in or do not wish to login or use blank playstore. Partner bookmarks, bookmarks.res.overlay, browser provider, browser provider.res.overlay are used for chrome sync/chrome. Use Google to see what each spk you see does. Most seem superfluous or unnecessary / privacy invasive.

Edit, I do use no-frills CPU control to use more conservative scaling governor from available stock.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SoCaliSk8r:
Hi everyone,

Thanks for all your hard work attempting to root and install custom ROMs on the Galaxy S4 4.3.

I have a Galaxy S4 i545 with stock OTA 4.3 rooted with VRoot.

I was wondering if there is a similar method to install CWM/TWRP to the method linked to below. If not, perhaps this method could be ported to the Galaxy S4?

nokiafirmware24.blogspot.com/2013/12/root-and-remove-knox-for-samsung-galaxy. html
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
No, you can't install CWM/TWRP. You can't install a custom recovery on MJ7 on an I545.

The link you pointed to is for the Galaxy Note 2. Not, in case you hadn't noticed, for the I545. Samsung has a lot of devices, each of which are differently locked down. Just because it says "Samsung" or "Galaxy" in the name of the device doesn't mean anything in terms of how it applies to other Samsung models. (For example, my Galaxy Tab 2 is completely unlocked, easily rooted. That means nothing in terms of the rest of the Samsung product line.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SoCaliSk8r:
Read my post again. Think carefully before responding.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
Looks to me like your question was answered very clearly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Icculus760:
Please try and be kind. He tried to help and provided (what riker147 and I both thought was a valid & relevant) answer. Maybe he didn't answer exactly what you wanted to know, but he tried. Instead of "think carefully before responding" which comes across very negatively, how about "Thanks for taking the time to try and answer my question. Unfortunately, what you wrote didn't really answer what I was looking to find out, so let me rephrase it so you may be able to help me out further."

Just my thought. You can interact with whomever as you see fit - I just wouldn't expect people to react positively to "think carefully before responding" -- if you wrote that to one of my attempts to help you, I certainly wouldn't reply and try to help you anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Schoat333:
I think some people just get sick of seeing the same questions over and over.

OP, the people that discovered the hack you linked to are the same people that are involved with trying to exploit the S4 bootloader after MDK. I'm sure they have tried their old methods.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
I did read your post. I did think carefully. You apparently didn't read mine.

Since you apparently didn't understand, this is a forum for the Verizon SCH-I545. The Verizon Galaxy S4.

Verizon has forced Samsung to lock down the I545 boot chain, which makes it very difficult to customize. Galaxy S4 variants on other carriers (like, for example, Sprint) aren't as locked down. So, you need to be quite careful what you do to make sure it's compatible with the specific model of device you're using.

So, you post a message about a completely different device which has only one thing in common with the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4: it has the word "Samsung" in the device name. I pointed out that what was in that thread DID NOT APPLY to the I545. I did waste some time reading it hoping it applied, but unfortunately not.

What I said is absolutely correct at the moment: you have a MJ7 phone. You can't install custom recovery. You may not like that, but tough cookies - that's the way it is.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] warriorking:
:good: Hey everyone my new Xperia Z tablet arrives tomorrow, I am replacing my Xperia S tablet which was a pretty good tablet in my experience, but due to Sony offering no more updates beyond 4.1. I felt it was time to move on and sell it.

I ordered and received the Sony screen protector, I used the Sony brand on my Xperia S with good results.,I also ordered the cradle and I got a case from amazon ..

I already have a 32Gig Micro Card to put in the tablet.

I will check for any software updates first thing, not sure what version Sony will ship it with.

Any other suggestions would be helpful...
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Jequan:
There's no need for a screen protector. There is one preinstalled. Many of us here remove that annoying thing. :laugh:

Depending on how important the newest software is for you you can stick to sonys 4.2.2 software wich i very stable and working well or you switch to custom ROMs.

Personally i am running CM 4.4.1 (FreeXperia) on mine and it is a great and 100% stable ROM.

Getting one next month

Hello, im also getting my Xperia Tablet Z in about a month, i have already planned on rooting it and installing a custom rom, im currently only owning a Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-i9300) which also is running 4.4.1 that is stable and works flawlessly with ART instead of Dalvik, will i be able to run ART on the tablet as well? (sorry for "stealing" the topic) xD
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Felimenta97:
Yes (or should, as it has a Snapdragon processor). And, as I said before, don't forget to backup your TA before doing anything.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] warriorking:
Thanks everyone, just got it and updated to the latest 4.2, shipped with 4.1.2.

Impressions thus far is Wow, what a lovely display..

Seems very snappy..

Updating apps at the moment and charging as well, came with about 60%.

If I understand correctly doesn't removing the protective layer Void the warranty..

Right now so long as it offers scratch protection I will keep it on...
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Felimenta97:
No, it doesn't void the warranty by removing it...
[Xperia Tablet Z General] warriorking:
Good to hear, think I will leave it for the time being for scratch protection and replace it at a later time..

Love this baby already...

Coworker bought my Xperia S and seems quite pleased...
[Xperia Tablet Z General] warriorking:
Well looks like I have to return my Xperia tablet for a replacement , woke up this morning to find my tablet with a yellow line the width of a thread running up the left side of the screen, contacted support and they had me do a complete factory reinstall of the OS, but looks like it did not correct the problem, awaiting the return call to give them the bad news, he told me if it did not work they would set up a exchange..

Oh well these things happen..
[Xperia Tablet Z General] warriorking:
:eek: Wow, not to pleased with my service with Sony, seems they don't do exchanges..WTF!!!!

Tech support transferred me back, instructing me to set up an exchange...

After several minutes the Sony rep comes back and states they do not offer exchanges, only refunds..

So I was forced to order another Tablet and pay for it of course since I will basically be without a tablet...

Then when Sony receives my defective tablet it will take up to 2 weeks to process the refund....Although they were kind enough to pay the return shipping...

Wow this is my first issue with Sony over the years and I find this a bit troubling especially on a tablet less than a day and a half old......

Heck Dell sent me a new Alienware laptop do to a minor problem and told me to hang on to my old one till the replacement arrives..

Thus no down time, but for Sony to offer zero exchanges only refunds on basically a brand new items in a bit stupid...
[Xperia Tablet Z General] My Gnexi:
Actually it is pretty scratchy. It protects the glass under it, but if you don't plan on removing it because of warranty reasons, you may want to put a screen protector ON it.

It's quite stupid they put a plastic sheet on the scratch-resistant glass. But I haven't removed mine yet.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] warriorking:
OK, Got my replacement in and thus far no screen issues, decided to put on the Sony screen protector and boy what a piece of crap, quickly dumped that idea..

Seems I now have a defect free tablet and could not be more pleased...
