This used to happen to me if I restored Gmail settings using Titanium Backup. Clearing data for Gmail and setting it back up would fix it.

OK I'm on stock rooted MK2(OTA), deknoxed(thru super su), Philz recovery... Can i get you guys to send some good juju my way & wish me luck in Flashing this ROM(for the 20th time..)

Waiting for the ROM.zip to be copied to my storage... & it's go time!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] greenmuggy:
OK i friggin give up... Atleast i have MK2 stock rooted... I'll figure out how to get the wifi hotspot & call it quits. I was really wanting to get a cool rom & if I cant even get the most modified stock one to work... There is no point in wasting hours upon hours every day just to odin & restore a backup... Please Mr. OP let me know if anyone has these problems in the future & if there will be a fix. I have no clue whats going on I got this phone brand new last Saturday & just cant get past root lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jarcher12:
Hi rawintellect take a break. not good to get so wrapped up in this stuff you can't do anything else. you made a great Rom and most people are real happy with it. You can't work out everyone's problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ophbalance:
Shoot. It appears I've spoke too soon. I've lost internet connectivity on the hotspot as of v3. I've tried, just on a whim, using the fix from v2 but still have no connection for hotspot devices. Bugger.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
If you have any other modifications to your phone that modifies services.jar you are going to lose the wifi hotspot. There's no other reason you would lose it. The hotspot has been tested ad nauseam on a clean install of v03. It works. The only thing the v02 fix does is patch services.jar. You have something else going on.

For instance while the CRT animation is cool and all it does replace my services jar. They even state in the thread that if you flash that you will lose any modifications to services.jar.

The hotspot works on vanilla v03.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ophbalance:
It must have been folder mount. It gave a freak out message about "your system is blah blah blah" and I allowed it to make a change. I've not done anything else to it that I can recall, no new kernals, no new software installs. I've reflashed v03 and it appears to be back, so yay to not deleting that file ;).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Thanks for that my friend! It's just that it's frustrating to put literally 36-48hr runs of no sleep (multiple times, to the point of vision loss) into developing a ROM and then have someone come in with a problem that could be solved due to user error or not reading the OP correctly. This ROM is literally my baby and I feel the need to protect it at all costs like I would my real child! lol!

And there's more to come. I'm constantly testing things. I have something that might be fantastic if I can make the init.d script work correctly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I never mount system folders with foldermount. It's just asking for trouble. Just because you can do a thing doesn't mean you should :silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rrbailey89:
I looked just for giggles and noticed I am on MDC bootloader. Is there any real reason to update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
No. If you search around XDA you'll see that you should NEVER....ever...ever....(and I do mean ever) take an OTA update. It's bad. Very bad. In fact you'd be hard pressed to find someone that said "Yay! I took the OTA and I love it!" :silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rrbailey89:
Thanks. Was just curious if I was missing something awesome not being on an updated bootloader lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spiricore:
Simple enough. I must have removed a core file that enabled the UI entry because even after uninstalling it Viper with ROM Toolbox, rebooting, cleaning with SD Maid, rebooting into Recovery, wiping cache & davlik, rebooting and letting it stew for a bit before reinstalling the apk and setting it as a system app, fixing permissions, rebooting into Recovery, wiping cache & davlik, and rebooting it still doesn't show up.

:eek: :rolleyes: *takes a breath*

HOWEVER...RomT shows it as an active process (couldn't force kill it the first time (had to force uninstall) and it's being equally as stubborn this time around) and I haven't had a chance to really test it; I'm going to assume it's enabled by default (as it has in the past in v2 and the one time it did show up in v3) and fiddle with it with some good headphones when I have the chance. Thanks for the info and tip! :highfive:

Just to confirm/clarify, GL to SD (and I suppose FolderMount as well) are safe as long as you're sticking to user apps and games, correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I honestly wouldn't know why someone would mount a system folder anyway. what happens when you pull the card (or worse the card fails) and try to boot your phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ophbalance:
I never got around to mounting anything. If you look in the foldermount thread, it just seems to be something that it notices on first run and was deemed to be OK to accept for it to correct. I'm not sure what exactly it did, but it must have been something related to the services.jar given how things played out. But, I'm back and running now, so no real loss for me. For some reason the game I cared to move is in the /user folder and cannot be moved by foldermount automagically anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spiricore:
I thought same thing, which is why I was baffled and had to ask to make sure I wasn't misinformed :confused:

Thanks for more specificity; that's weird. What game, and is it something GL to SD could help you with? I ask because I discovered it via YouTube yesterday while trying to track down the notorious "Insufficient Storage" error in GPlay despite having >7.5GB internal and 13GB of free space on my external storage (I can never catch a break :rolleyes:) and have yet to try it (apps first; games last).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
You mean this? It does not write to services.jar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ophbalance:
The Simpson's Tapped Out. It's sitting around 800 megs, and though not huge, it makes the Nandroids that much bigger when it really doesn't need to be. It's not something I really need backed up as the game is cloud based and all progress stays on EA's server. It's a right pain in the arse to download all the updates again, but I'd rather that then have it stuck in my system backups.

Dunno, that's the only thing that I can think of that might have modified anything. Unless editing the services (sql lite) to add the Hotspot toggle could have done this? Either way, just flashing v03 again fixed things for me, and my Hotspot toggle remains in place.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DanM66:
I was having the same issue. Installed V03 and FolderMount. Hotspot would not work. Then this morning I installed Unknownforce's Kernel to see if that would clear up a wifi issue. It did not but Hotspot does now work. Hmmm.

When I installed FolderMount I received the same message about something in the phone not correct and it "auto fixed" it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I'm willing to bet adding the hotspot toggle did this. More so than an app that has nothing to do with services.jar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spiricore:
Speaking of not catching a break, now it appears I broke something with the hosts file (I'm assuming). GPlay says connection error, OBackup won't upload to Google Drive, and AdAway says "None of your enabled hosts sources are reachable! Are you properly connected to the internet?". Going to replace it with the default hosts packed with v3 and pray I don't spend more time searching google. I thought it could be a modem issue, but everything reports fine under About Device. I'll try and reflash MK2 (unless someone here has another idea) if the hosts method doesn't work.

*sigh* :mad:

EDIT: Whoops, meant master, not hosts. Maybe both.

EDIT2: (sorry rawintellect; I'm kinda hoping other users can answer these questions instead of taking time away from your schedule :angel:) On a related note, I've noticed adblockers are anti-Medscape, which is a bit of a problem for me because I'm a doctor and have come to rely on it. This question likely belongs in the crossbreeder thread, but I'm hoping for a quick fix: is there a way to temporarily disable crossbreeder's adblocking so I can download Medscape's offline database?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Again, as listed in the OP do not use Adaway for ad blocking. You CAN use it to update the host file used by this rom which is located in /system/etc/dnrd_root/master

This entire procedure for updating the master host file is documented in the "installation notes" section.

The host file in /system/etc/hosts isn't used by this ROM at all. Do not create a symlink to it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spiricore:
Oh, I know, that's the only reason AdAway is even there. I had been updating my hosts master file through it per your instructions since v1 until, well, this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Try rebooting your phone after you update it. Sometimes the local DNS server that points to 127.0.0.1 needs reset to read the changes to the master file.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ophbalance:
Could be. Though I would have expected that the toggle would be gone upon a dirty flash, and that the problem would remain that being the case. Never a dull moment when phucking with phones. Gah, that just makes me feel old :P, and I wonder how many will get that phrase ;).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Not necessarily. Many things remain after a dirty flash. Many things do not. Hence the term "dirty flash". How could you expect the toggle to be gone AND the problem to remain? The mod you made to generate that toggle modifies the sql database file.

Honestly, I really don't understand how you're trying to lay this on foldermount? It has absolutely nothing to do with services.jar. I could show you the EXACT line of code that creates the hotspot mod. It is not related to foldermount in any way.

I'm assuming you followed this guide?

What's more likely the culprit? foldermount? Or editing a database file that is directly used by services.jar?

Even if you don't agree with me lets move on shall we? I think 2 and a half pages devoted to editing a database is enough don't you? :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fgr:
Unlikely its the hotspot toggle either. You're editing the settings.db, nothing to do with services.jar.

@rawintellect, did you modify anything in services.jar other than the hotspot mod? If not, people should just be able to flash the hotspot mod from crawrj's thread. Post 337 has the MK2 version.

I've messed up the settings.db before and hotspot still worked anyways...

Edit: just read your post... Moving on... lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I did edit more than just the hotspot in services.jar. The fix from v02 (as I said before) just reapplies my changes in services.jar. Just flashing crawrj's hotspot mod will break other changes I've made. Ok I really am done with this. I'm not posting another word on it. This is becoming a hotspot support thread and not really what I've intended here. He's back up and running. Good enough.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
What's Up Doc?

What could be cooking in the rabbit hole now? The crowd is silent awaiting the possibilities...

According to "device info" I'm running L720VPUEMK2. Does this mean anything?

Yeah I figured the custom recovery did the Knox tripping. Oh well, I'm confident there will be a way to reset it in the future. Thanks for all your hard work. Take a break. ;)

Hi again, i understand obsession, just saying that it can be fairly detrimental to health " 36-48hr runs of no sleep (multiple times, to the point of vision loss) " them and family life. it is easy to burn out when putting this kind of effort into something.

maybe take a page from the tibetan monks they spend days making the most elaborate malas with colored sand and when they are finished swipe them out .

might be time to Clear cache and Dalvik in your own head ... :silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Your bootloader is MK2 which does contain knox embedded. Now this was there before you flashed my ROM and before you flashed Philz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] screaming01l:
Not sure if this is ROM related, but after flashing Im having no sound at the earpiece on the phone. So I ran "*#0*#" and tested it and it does have sound via the test so its not hardware. After I run the tests sound comes back for a while to the earpiece. When this happens, I can use the speaker phone, so its strictly earpiece related. Phone is brand new.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
When you say earpiece do you mean the bluetooth or do you mean the earphone jack? Are you using viper4android? What screenshot your viper settings if you are? What are the volume levels? I'm not able to reproduce your issue. What other mods are you using?

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] screaming01l:
the small speaker for your ear when you talk on the phone. Blue tooth, earphone and speaker work, but theres no sound at when you put the phone to your ear, forcing you to use speaker. Ive checked the settings, accesability setting, volume, even set the network to automatic.

http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Androi...und-gone-Anyone-experiencing-this/td-p/503522

In my case, I run the tests and it comes back. As far as software, It was a brand new MJA phone that I did the Stock rooted MK2 on and after that ran the mk2 firmware, then wiped it full in philz and went to this, does it with the stock rooted also.

I think its volume related. When I use visual voice mail through the receiver at full volume, it goes out, turn the volume down to half and I can play the entire message.. Although now I cant make it do it again...

Its loud enough at full to make the speaker inside rattle
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
and your viper settings are???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] screaming01l:
I dont know. Where do I find them. Saw viper in one of the sttings and I believe it was checked
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
viper4android is one of the apps I've bundled with this rom. it's in your app drawer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] screaming01l:
Ok. Set it up and it said it needed to download a v4a. After that made a phone call and reciever went out. Finished the call and hit #*0#* ran reciever and low freq and it works again for now

Any particular settings I should maybe try?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JG96EVO:
Thanks!

Hey [MENTION=1274198]rawintellect[/MENTION] just wanted to say thank u for the rom, it seems like some people don't realize that while donations are welcomed that they're not mandatory and that u do this for the community and while u can't please everyone but me personally am very pleased with the smoothness, performance as well as the dependability of stock(ish) and just wanted to say thank u and I appreciate what u do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spiricore:
If it's working why do you need to try anything else? :confused: If you want to know about Viper4A settings, you should probably be consulting the guys who take care of Viper4A.

[MENTION=4135358]JG96EVO[/MENTION] Amen brother!

Poor [MENTION=1274198]rawintellect[/MENTION]. I'd go nuts answer the same questions every day because people don't bother to read. Have you considered putting stock(ish) on XDA DB so it is much more likely for people to see the OP(s) before asking questions? That's the only flaw I see in XDA's forums... a forum setting is just not productive for the developer or end users because they may be coming in from a search engine or assume the OP is out of date or... just won't read... :rolleyes:

As per my problem with the connection issue: I tried all sorts of things to work it out but ended up just wiping and reflashing. I decided to go forward and purchase the "donation" version of Greenify and, combined with your tweaks, my battery was down by only 1% when I woke up this morning. :D Thank you for your hard work! Please remember that it does not go unappreciated by most of us. Thank you for the time you've spent helping me; I am to the point now where I'm confident enough to be helping others due to your guidance. If you any assistance with documentation (aka "Dummies Guide to rawintellect's Stock(ish) ROM") I am more than happy to contribute!! Just ask :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] screaming01l:
Problem is it wasn't working. Seems to be ok with the driver and settings I chose. Also receiver volume is at half and still loud enough

And where in any of my posts did I say the issue was solved. Had I had it working as is I wouldn't of touched it or posted to begin with

I am having a issue on v03 where the power and home button are both bringing up the device options menu. Instead of the home button bringing up the apps used screen. searched the thread and having seen this reported at all. I believe this started after the reboot of installing Xposed Framework, possibly the one I did before which was the Viper4Android install reboot.

EDIT: Fixed it. Played around with the Wanam Settings and got it

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SixSixAtl:
For the past several months I've been running Highway55's MF9 rom in happy camper/if it ain't broke don't fix it mode. Yesterday I checked out this thread for the first time and found rawintellect's no-nonsense "here's how it is" approach to developing and supporting this rom very compelling. I'm one of those lurker types who reads much more than posts - plus I have a knack for following directions - so now I'm running Stock(ish)v03, and it already seems like I'm back to happy camper/if it ain't broke don't fix it mode!

I made the Wanam xposed adjustment with the call recording setting that I saw mentioned in some previous posts, then I flashed TW_4_3_CALL_REC_IN_MENU_FULL available at

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2497540

For the camera mods I like - Wanam settings never seem to do the trick here - I used Root Explorer to open/edit system/csc/feature.xml and added

<CscFeature_Camera_EnableCameraDuringCall>true</CscFeature_Camera_EnableCameraDuringCall>

<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>

under "camera features", then in Wanam Xposed/Advanced I checked the box next to "Keep my extra CSC features" so Wanam doesn't overwrite the changes I made to feature.xml after a reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spiricore:
So I ran into the same issue with my wifi/4g/3g connections crapping out on a fresh install. I was downloading some game files and suddenly my connection cut out. Rebooted; nothing. Wiped caches; nothing. After some research I realized it was CrossBreeder. I tried disabling certain features at first with no result, so I flashed the uninstall script and I have connection again. Looking at the official thread, CrossBreeder really seems like an incomplete mess with a lot of random issue for a lot random people. This has happened twice to me now, both on fresh installs.

The only thing I can see as a possible instigator is that I was running a custom profile in KTweaker (Lightning Blade by mamba from here). I believe I was running the same profile when I encountered the issue on my last install. I reset KTweaker to stock settings and rebooting, wiping caches, but to no avail. The damage was done. Uninstalling CB was the only solution. Just thought I'd let you know.

EDIT: Come to think of it, I also had some strange issues that I wrote off as quirks of a custom rom/kernel. When I mentioned previously that Torch was not working and caused my screen to go black, I was wrong. Torch worked fine on this install, but I accidentally hit the power button twice to turn on the screen today; it went on for a second, then black for a good 20-30 seconds, then came back on and all my receiver indicators (wifi/data) had reset (wifi off, red x through signal strength in notification bar) and restarted themselves like I had just rebooted the phone. It wasn't until later in the evening that I had the complete cutoff, but I have my suspicions that the two are connected. I could be wrong, but I believe this happened *before* I applied the above mentioned KT profile.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I've been using crossbreeder for about 2 years with 0 issues. Glad you worked out your problems but honestly the people that can't get crossbreeder to work in that thread really shouldn't be using any mods IMHO. Tweaking isn't for everyone but I do try to bring what I can to the masses. Rest assured I have crossbreeder installed and running properly in this ROM out of the box. Ad blocking might have been the culprit. Ad blocking with crossbreeder isn't really a mystery. It uses a DNS proxy that points to your local address of 127.0.0.1. It then filters all of the web sites listed in it through the local DNS proxy. If it matches one it forbids it. If not it allows it.

When you disable ad blocker via the script called DISABLE_ADBLOCK it simply reverts to the host file located in /etc/hosts if there is one. And there is. So in effect you really didn't turn off ad blocking you just switched hosts. To really turn off ad blocking delete the host file in /etc/hosts and reboot.

I'm not familiar with the profile you were running but it wouldn't surprise me if that had something to do with it.

In either case I don't plan on changing crossbreeder in this ROM. I don't plan on removing it. Of course you can do as you please to whatever you install on your phone, however I will state for the record this ROM (and crossbreeder) work just fine out of the box.

When people make changes to my ROM I can't control what may or may not happen as a result. Gun manufacturers can make the weapons but aren't to blame for people shooting themselves in the foot. :silly:
