Dialer doesn't work

I've looked through this thread and have searched on Google, and I can't find an answer to my issues. I am unable to use the dialer on this rom. The app opens, but when I try to make an outgoing call, the screen freezes and then finally goes white. I've installed the rom 3 times using the instructions on the OP exactly. I've tried using an older and then the newest versions of Philz and there is absolutely no difference. Once in a while I will get a notification that com.android.phone is not responding, but not every time. Typically I need to restart the phone.

Youtube is also not working. Videos refuse to load, although comments and related videos are visible. Any thoughts? The rest of the rom is incredibly smooth, and I'd love to use this as my dd, but sometimes I need to use my phone as...a phone.

Are you performing a full factory reset?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] morrison0880:
Yes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] radboy:
Prompting for system update.

Have had this ROM installed for awhile and works great. I used to be able to turn off the notification for a system update my turning off notifications in google services framework. Now for the past week or so I am getting the notification for a system update despite the notifications turned off. Anyway to remove this annoying notification?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] itzbob701:
If you press and hold the notification it will open up the app info where you can stop notifications.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] radboy:
That did the trick, thanks. For some reason this new prompt for a system upgrade is from google play services rather than google services framework.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] silenthatred:
Factory reset doesn't wipe the old ROM...just saying. If using Philz, should be using the clean wipe to install a new ROM option. If using TWRP, do an advanced wipe and wipe everything but your SD card and internal storage (normally mounted at /data/media).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jook11:
I see that you require MK2 or NAE modem. I'm on the next one - NC6. Are you planning to support that, or should I look into downgrading?

1: I'm not sure it's possible yet. My google search was inconclusive

2: I don't really want to lose wifi calling, it's kind of useful.

Thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ophbalance:
I don't believe you're going to find any ongoing support for this ROM. You're best bet is to start looking into one of the other variants available for the S4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jook11:
Oh, alright. I'll look around.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] frostedunit:
Downgrading to the MK2 or NAE modems would be a bad idea. Those are for the non spark S4 whereas you have the spark enabled 720T. Please make sure you are fully aware a ROM will work with your phone before you flash it.

Google Play disappeared

Not sure what's going on with the phone yet other than it's losing apps here & there for some reason. Might be related to link2sd but not sure. Might also be a problem with my Sandisk 64GB extSD card. Anyway, I'm trying to get that part figured out

My Play Store app has completely disappeared. I first tried to restore from Titanium Backup. While it shows 2 backups, the "restore" option is not visible. I have successfully restored my last 2 Nandroid backups only to find Play Store missing each time. I also tried a dirty flash to see if it'd re-install Play Store but no go. Any thoughts / suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
In application manager verify that both google play services and google play store are turned on and reside on internal storage. Not the extSDCard. If so try clearing data for them both.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] lcovel:
Nice to see you back on the scene, Raw. Welcome back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] itzbob701:
Awesome to see Raw poke his head into the room!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JerryGNYC:
Hopefully it won't be ephemeral... :angel:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] btoddweber:
Amen!! [MENTION=1274198]rawintellect[/MENTION]...glad to see ya!!!!

If you say Please...be sure and hit Thanks!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] martuseich:
Thanks for the reply. Application Manager doesn't show Google Play Store or Google Play services in the "Turned Off" list or in the "All" list.

Titanium Backup shows both at the bottom of the list of apps where the uninstalled apps are with the line through the title indicating that apparently they have been uninstalled somehow. As I said before though the 2 Titanium backups present in the list for Google Play Store as well as Google Play Services don't even display the "restore" option, just "delete". I suppose I could try another nandroid backup going back earlier than the latest 2 I've restored but at this point I doubt that will help.

For what it's worth, Gmail and Google search are both still present and functioning, so not all of the Google apps have been affected.

Any other thoughts/ideas/suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Well i honestly don't see how the ROM could have uninstalled your GAPPS. So I'm forced to ask: Did you uninstall this and switch to an AOSP ROM and then come back to it? There are google play APKs out there that should install this if you google search for them. I just can't understand what would have uninstalled Google Play? :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] martuseich:
I wasn't suggesting that the ROM had anything to do with the problem. In fact it's looking more like the Ext SD card is probably the issue. In settings/Storage it shows as "mounted", however, when I try to download from a website through Naked Browser it tells me the SD card isn't mounted. I haven't changed ROMs since installing Stock(ish) v6 after you first released it. I don't have time to ROM hop & try all the coolest newest stuff. I need a solid daily driver & this works great, so I'm sticking with it. Thanks for sharing it with us.

My post was simply asking if anyone here in this forum (of obviously knowledgeable and helpful members) had any experience with this or a similar issue and what you might suggest as a solution. It seemed to me that re-flashing the ROM might be a simple solution but dirty flashing didn't change anything for me. I could start over with a clean flash but would rather avoid the painful and time consuming set up from scratch if I can possibly avoid it. I'm happy to search for a PlayStore apk. Is the playstore apk one size fits all or is it different for AOSP vs. TW? Does it matter whether you're running JB, ICS, KK or do you just install & let it update no matter what you have? I'll assume it's like most other apps in the Playstore that will run on whatever Android setup you have regardless, but again I don't know what I don't know, so rather than screw it up more, I thought I'd ask first.

I have a business to run & can't afford to be without a phone so rather than lope along trying different things until I either find a fix or brick the phone trying, I'll always ask first. I'll be the first guy to tell you the already obvious... I don't know everything. I'm not ashamed to ask for others' input, hence my questions.

My laptop is down right now as well, so formatting another SD card & trying that is a bit of a challenge at the moment. I'm having to use my Android tablet to post here.

I sincerely appreciate any help you can lend.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Here is the link for the latest Google play apk.

In the future could you please try using the search in XDA to find what you may need? The search for that link took me 10 seconds. Or post your own thread asking for help in the Help and troubleshooting forum? This thread is specifically for this ROM only. It should not be used as a database for all of XDA. I'll bet you'll even get more of a response in Help and Troubleshooting than you would in here since the people that view this thread are generally focused on this topic while the people that view the Help forum are focused on...well helping folks out. :)

I'm not "scolding you" but please try to understand and keep this on topic. It's exactly this kind of post which has made me stop development of this ROM entirely and just develop it for myself. I really wouldn't want to close this thread altogether.

Just my .02c worth. Take it with a grain of salt. Just some friendly advice. Thanks for using my ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
Any plans for 4.4 ? :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] martuseich:
No offense taken here. In fact, please accept my apology. I understand your reasoning. Thanks for your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Dougmeister:
All seemed to go well, but after rebooting (which took a while), error boxes kept popping up saying "Unfortunately, Phone has stopped", etc.

Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Select clean wipe and try again. You cannot dirty flash v06 over any other ROM or even any other version of Stock(ish).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DjMizzTikk:
Question would you be making a update on this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Thabighead:
Nice to see rawintellect back in here... I still haven't updated cuz I love this Rom so much lol.

Using xpose and some of the modules seen to freezee my phone or behave bad.... clean install with less tweeks...

Have not try wallet until now.. but it doesn't work.. Seen to just close... any fix? reading i saw that after V1 it was fix.. any idea guys.. Thank you...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ophbalance:
If you're looking for tap and pay to work, I think you're out of luck on anything lower than a KitKat ROM anyway. At least, that's the message wallet gave me back in May. It's actually the only reason I've jumped ROMs as I wanted to keep this functionality.

EDIT: found the link. And it was back in April they ended this for anything but KitKat. http://www.droid-life.com/2014/03/14/google-wallet-tap-pay-will-no-longer-work-after-april-14-for-non-kit-kat-devices/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tft:
disregard.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Dougmeister:
A few days ago, I started turning off "Mobile Data" when not in WiFi zones to save on data. Yesterday, my data reverted to 3G. I updated PRL and Profile, but no luck.

I called Sprint today and they had me dial ##72786#. After the phone rebooted, the "Hands Free Activation" came up. It wouldn't connect, so now I have *no* data at all.

I guess I shouldn't have called Sprint. At one point, she had me look for system updates. There was one sitting there, and it rebooted. The screens flashed by too small and too fast to read; I guess it tried to apply the updates, but since I'm running stock(ish), I'm sure they failed.

How do I fix this? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Dubbleurx:
Wipe and start from scratch.

Nadroid Fake ID

I just love this ROM. I've been using since the beginning and I have the latest available update installed.

However, today I started to worry about security. I am talking about Fake ID, it is hole in old Android WebView.

http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-07-29/googles-android-has-a-fake-id-problem

I checked the vulnerability using Bluebox Security available here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bluebox.labs.onerootscanner&hl=en

And I am vulnerable, fortunately none of my apps using WeView is compromised.

Does anybody know if there is any patch or go around to fix this problem?

I would like to keep the ROM.

:crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Dougmeister:
What is the wifi hotspot network security key? Phone number is not the key...?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
:confused: Not sure...if serious?!?!?!?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
Good to see you lurking around [MENTION=1274198]rawintellect[/MENTION]!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Dougmeister:
Unfortunately, yes, I am serious.

The documentation states that the 10-digit phone number of the cell phone is the security key. That's how other programs have worked for me in the past. But it isn't working here.

The laptop I'm using worked fine with a HotSpot add-on when I had a custom ROM on my Galaxy S3, so I don't *think* it's the laptop...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Correction. I just counted. there's 7 mirrors. and the primary. that's 8 links. it's definitely your internet. I'm sorry you're having issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
Ok, now we are waiting for V02 to be released to the rest of the flashaholics. ♧
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
It's coming. I might release a beta. It has some minor things wrong that aren't working but it's nothing anyone would notice. It's certainly nothing that would cause any errors. It's functional. My girlfriend is in town and I'll be on vacation from my job next week so I'll pretty much be slowed down by her and the holidays :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Kafluke:
I re-flashed the KT kernel again and it seams that my wifi woes are over. Thanks for the help!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JD1zzle:
I am having some weirdness.. Not a usability issue, just weird, and I can't track it down. I am unable to change my lock screen wallpaper, by any means. Tried doing it through settings, through selecting a picture and long pressing, through Zedge, etc. It says it is changed, but then does not change. Odd.

Running Stock(ish)v01, KT TW 4.3 Kernel, and Wanam.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
testing this now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Hmmm unfortunately I was able to set my lock screen wallpaper just fine. Maybe try and reflash? I had no problems setting it at all. It even stuck between boots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rrbailey89:
Hello. First off great ROM. But I'm having some weird issues. At least I think it's weird. I have flashed this ROM multiple times to include the mk2 firmware. However as you can see from my screen shots I don't think the firmware is sticking? Can anyone help or confirm this? My wife and Radio seem to be working just fine though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:

Try flashing Unknownforces modem for MK3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rrbailey89:
Can you link it please? I don't see it in his thread... latest is MK2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
You'll have to flash it through odin. (OOPs, my bad Galaxy S3 is MK3)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2338919

Look in the second post for the MK2 download, Knox is removed so no worries.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JD1zzle:
Reflashed (dirty, just whiped cache) and it works. Was hoping it was just something I was missing, but reflashing isn't too terrible. Thanks! Still weird.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rrbailey89:
I don't see MK3 in the second post just this "Latest Sprint MK2 Firmware - Download Link (Firmware Only - No KNOX BootLoader)"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
That's what you need... you're currently running MDC which is way old. (From your screenshot)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
I state in the OP that there is no firmware in this ROM.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rrbailey89:
I apologize I don't think my original reply was clear. These are the steps I took.

1. I was originally on MJA with hot spot mod.

2. I flashed this ROM along with the firmware (MK2) in the thread that was linked (unknownforce) in post 1.

3. Upon first boot of this ROM I noticed the firmware didn't stick. So I flash the firmware again. Still doesn't stick.

4. I decide to odin back to MDC in an attempt to fix the firmware issue.

5. Upon booting up my now downgraded phone i notice that it's still MJA radio so i think this is weird since the MDC file i used included MDC radio.

6. I flash MDC radio. It sticks.

7. I flash MK2 using Phil recovery (after I flash Philz recovery again).Flashing complete

8. I tell Phil to boot into download mode.

9. I again odin the MK2 firmware

10. Boot. I see it didn't stick. Attempt 3 more times. No joy.

I write all this not out of sarcasm but in an attempt to be more clear and concise in the steps I've taken to attempt to solve this weird issue.

As a side note I've tried to resolve this using Odin 3.04 and Odin 3.09
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Here is the procedure described in the OP in unknownforce's firmware thread:

Power OFF the phone (do not use reboot to download mode, do a full power off)

Hold down the Volume down key and then press and hold the power Key.

When the screen lights up, release both

Press Volume up to Continue past the first screen, you should now be in Download Mode.

Plug the phone into the PC with Odin

Fire up Odin and select the modem tar.md5 file with the PDA button

Click Start and Let it flash until it's done.

It will auto reboot and you'll be all set.

NOTE: With MJA Firmware, some people report better success with turning Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time unchecked. Do the same flash, but when you see PASS on Odin, unplug the phone and Hold the Power key for 10 seconds to reboot. <-----This applies to MK2 as well

Thanks for the information I must have missed that somehow. The above quoted portion made me think. I would always see odin say "RESET!" in blue but never pass. Am I good to flash mk2 firmware directly or do I need t flash each firmware working my way up? I will follow those steps and also unchecked the boxes and report back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jim M:
Don't irritate the rabid rabbit.

LOL
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
My hotspot mod has nothing to do with changing this network security key.

To display what your password is from the home screen select:

menu > settings > hotspot > configure > show password.

If it's changed from your phone number you changed it. Not my mod. And you can change it again and make it your phone number or any other password you wish.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] frafael:
Raw, is there any chance you change your mind and release stock(ish) 4.4.

Can we buy you a beer? :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] BESS667:
For some reason the Wifi theater option is not showing on the settings menu, is there a way to fix this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
You mean WiFi tether??? It should be right on the main menu. If it's not check to see if you have a sim card. This has been discussed before. Please search this thread. People without sim cards don't have an option for WiFi tether. It's not a problem with this ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] anthonyherbz:
Excellent mod. My only concern is that I cannot seem to receive or send MMS messages. I've tried checking my APN setting for T-Mobile US 4G and they seem to line up. Any recommendations?

If it helps I am using stock(ish) v06 on an unlocked Sprint GS4 with a T-Mobile sim

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] robogoflow:
I'm for this too. This was my favorite rom because it so stable. Maybe share with a selected few??? I really hate running stock NG2. My phone has just became a phone over the past months and not the portable computer it used to be.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Modmyppc:
Thanks for the excellent rom rawintellect. After a crap load of problems flashing other roms, I finally have one that works clean and doesn't have problems with basic phone functions....

Anyways I understand this maybe a stupid question but how do you launch the Pie Chart app and the floating windows so it appears on your homescreen. haha I can't seem to figure it out! :confused: :rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] anthonyherbz:
Well I fixed the mms issue. Some of the APN data was old. If anyone needs T-Mobile APN settings let me know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
Open piecontrol in the app drawer. All of the settings are self explanatory.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Modmyppc:
Thanks for the response and the AMAZING ROM. I never used PieControl before, so I wasn't sure why it wasn't running when I enabled all sides. But It appears I needed to add the apps to run because everything was on disable.

Really no issues at all, I have a feeling ill be sticking with this for a very long time.

Now for the floating windows how do you get it to work?

I went to the testing and updated the module and it now says it is active.

I am able to launch in the testing section of the XhaloFloatingWindow. However it disappears when I go to the homescreen. I went to the Xda thread from the app and it says I need a MultiWindowsideBar???. I went into the downloads of the Xposed installer and cant find it. It also says longpress on the notification bar to launch it, but I tried and nothing happens

I tried to figure it out before I posted but I cant seem to understand how I can launch it from my homescreen.

Could anyone help?

Thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
You have everything you need to use XHALO windows. No need to install anything else. XHALO windows are for notifications (such as email). You just open the notification bar and click on it. If you want to MANUALLY open a recent app in XHALO simply hold the center button to bring up recent apps. Then long press on the app you wish to open in XHALO. Again as I requested you do with Pie Control, I suggest opening the app in the app drawer and getting familiar with the settings. Like everything, it's a learning process.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Modmyppc:
Does anyone know how to shut off the android update notification. I remember seeing it before but Ive did a search for it and cant seem to find it. I remember it was something in the settings? I checked Settings/Security/Security update service and unchecked both settings but I don't think that was it because it still shows to update android.

Also Does anyone know how to shut off that annoying warning sign every time you plug in a headphones or an audio jack about having the setting to high can damage your hearing! Not only is it annoying but at first it stops you from even raising the volume at first...

Thank you,
