cambunch,

Any chance you could do the android animation shown here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtAcw6rRFQ0&feature=youtu.be ) on the right for the GS4 GE ROM?

I'd donate for that!

Awesome Android boot animation for VZ GS4

Oh, that is too freakin' cool! Works like a champ on my VZ i545. Thank you so much! You made my day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] civiksi:
Dude thats mint. Works and looks great. I tried to make a boot animation once. Didn't go well. Could not get it sized right.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
How do you install these?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbradley07:
DL or copy to phone. Flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
Thanks, I just learned how to make the QMGs and figured I would put my new skills to use.

Just flash through recovery.

Anyone else have problems with MMS messages appearing and then not downloading to phone all the way? Have lost a couple key texts. Don't have any mods or alternate sms apps or themes installed

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] radpp16:
Thanks for the reply. I don't use WiFi at all because I have unlimited data. This morning woke up with no LTE or 3G on status bar. Changed to LTE/CDMA/evdo per instructions. Everything OK now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
Anyone else having issues with the YouTube app?

When I try to install it from the play store it gives an error saying Incompatible Update.

And none of the modded YouTube apps work either.

Wonder why?

Edit: Just checked web YouTube, no go there either. I've tried several different video sites and I can't watch videos on any of them.

I checked my settings to make sure my apn and Network settings were right. I've cleared dalvik and cache. Nothing works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shpotik:
Weird...everything works fine for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
All is well on mine. Did you clean flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Do you have a video player app installed? Might be why the video sites aren't working. Shouldn't affect YouTube though. You try uninstalling/reinstalling?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
Yeah I cleaned flashed but I installed the rom when it first came out. Everything was working fine until just a couple of days ago.

I do have a video player app installed (MX Player) but I've had it the entire time and it's been fine.

The only thing I can think of is that I noticed this right after I flashed a modded 4.4.11 YouTube app . It would load but wouldn't play any videos. Thought it was just an older version not working so I loaded a couple more modded YouTube apps and they didn't work. That's when I checked the web version of YouTube and it wouldn't stream anything either.

But I still can't figure out why the official YouTube app won't install at all.

I might nandroid back to before this happened but that was at original release time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
What you are reporting is the one issue that I experience with this ROM. Usually turning cellular off/on gets me some signal. Sometimes I get 3G other times it finds LTE. Like you said it's mostly an issue in weak signal areas.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bobg1231:
I was having some wakelock issues and fixed with a fresh install. Can anyone tell me if it's OK to "Format Data" in twrp for a really clean install? I do this occasionally on my tablet but it seems like I read not to on this device or you'll have to Odin back to fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
I've never had issues with formatting /data on the S4.

Um im a rookie, and im coming from a stock fone.

Not trying to be a flamer, but the instructions i think are for pros. Im trying to get outsiders to help me and i just found out, i wasnt supposed to unzip the packages. Also, i didnt know i need cwm. I wish instructions would beeen n00b proof.

Thanx.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Unfortunately not everything is n00b proof; however, I think XDA as a whole does an excellent job of helping n00bs and experts alike. I don't recollect seeing any questions from you and if you did ask I apologize for not getting you an acceptable answer. You might find what you're looking to learn here: http://xda-university.com/as-a-user/android-flashing-guide

Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sdnick484:
Just as a heads up, you might want to consider using WiFi when available if only to get better battery life. Unless you're in an area with excellent LTE signal, you'll almost always draw more power using the cellular radio over WiFi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JCBiznatch:
I can't get this Rom to flash. Keeping getting error. Anyone else having that issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Nope never had a problem. You didn't mention what error you when getting or what recovery you're using. Two things to check right away would be does your custom recovery support 4.4.x (KitKat) and is your downloaded zip's md5 good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JCBiznatch:
I'm on clockwork mod 6.0.4.7, does that help? And yes in recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
That's definitely KitKat compatible. I've been using TWRP for a while now so I haven't tried CWM with this ROM. It should flash fine. Is your battery charged up? What error are you getting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] egore93:
Did you flash the loki-doki.zip after you flashed the rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Romeo5k:
CarvedArt, i didnt ask any questions, because i didnt want to be a super dummy without trying. bare with me while i write u this book.. I had 4.4.2. And i was stock.

1. So i asked how to flash over, i managed to go to recovery and WIPE CLEAN, but didnt know how to flash over your file or Loki. So i asked a friend from somewhere else, and i was told, i needed CWM to do so.

2. So, i tried installing CWM, http://true-android.blogspot.com/2014/01/install-cwm-6045-advance-edition-on_6514.html That was a FAIL in ODIN. Then i found out i cant do CWM from 4.4.2 Something about bootloader being locked?

3. So then i tried going from 4.4.2 to 4.3 with this http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.com/2/7/7/3/7/4/7/Downgrading_from_NC5_OTA_to_MK2_Revised2.pdf?key=evj7qja0-OUHWPrnF2bzYg&ts=1406329405

I think it was successful as my fone now says 4.3

4. Now i went back to do step 2 (CWM) and i still fail!! Im being told by someone, that was not a true downgrade, ugh!!! fml!

QUESTION HOW DID everyone else get this on their phone? Is there another way? Am i going about it wrong? Ive even been in irc #xda-dev, no one is speaking in there. So could you kindly tell me where im wrong? Where i might be right? What im allowed to do or not do. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
Basically, if your phone didn't come with the original MDK bootloader, you can't flash it. You can only use safestrap and safestrap ROMs. Research that

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Romeo5k:
o basically, you are telling me, because i did the OTA in April or May, whenever that was, i cant go back. Because i know my phone came with JB, at least i think it did. Unless that was ICS, but im sure it was JB. Bought fone in August 2013

Now you are saying this wont work for me. I thought that applied to people who bought their fones with KK on it already!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Install "Phone INFO ☆Samsung☆" and look at: "Bootloader version" it must read "I545VRUAMDK" if the last 3 letters are anything later than MDK then you cannot flash a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM etc. If that's the case you have to install "Safestrap' which is like a special custom recovery. Have a look at this thread for some ROM possibilities: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2734775 ...if you need more help just PM me.

When I multi-click the Android Version in settings I don't get the KitKat Easter Egg. Blank screen. Anyone else experiencing this?

What a deal-breaker for me!

Just kidding... wonderful ROM!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
its there ;) you have to go hunting for easter egg's ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckarrow2:
Found it! This egg is a bit deeper than stock! :) Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] krypto1300:
I've dirty flashed every version since 3-29-14 and haven't had a single problem related to the ROM. My phone has never really liked Ktoonz kernel so the stock kernel in the current version makes my phone sing.

Love this ROM!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
Someone please help. Tinted status bar conflicts with this ROM and the status bar on the lock screen is always black.

Wasn't like this on other AOSP Roms. It seems to be a problem with specifically our ROM. Nothing like gravity box or xblast or other xposed modules helped. PLEASE HELP! anyway to maybe replace the lock screen files?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ebsk8er06:
Can I get a zip of the stock kernal
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] azjaffo:
IR Blaster

Hey everyone,

Is anyone else having problems with the IR blaster? I can't get it to work. I recently did the 7-17 install (clean). I did a search of this thread and I see people saying that it works.

I tried with WatchOn and with some other IR apps and I can't get it working with any of my TV's. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] krypto1300:
How do you zip kernel? It's in the boot.img correct?

Never tried that before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ThugosaurusRex:
I don't fully understand what your trying to say.. But my status bar isn't black.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
Are you using the tinted status bar xposed module?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] -Michael_:
I'm having the same problem, re installed the 7-17 release yesterday. Though it was because I flashed dirty. Still no joy. Tried 3 different IR apps. So I changed kernels (googley). Didn't fix it either. Any advice?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] azjaffo:
Just some additional information: I wanted to make sure the IR blaster is at least making a "light," so I pointed it at my webcam and pressed the power button in an IR app, and the IR blaster does indeed flash. For some reason, though, it won't actually control anything...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
I had the same issue.

On a whim I tried the same fix for the GPS. I installed a TW ROM and installed watchon and got it working. Then flashed back to this one and tried again and it worked. Don't know if it was a fluke but it worked so I'm not complaining.

Maybe it'll work for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Happens with all GPE roms, as far as I know. The module developer is the person to send your message to. But this has been a known issue in that thread for a long time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
I have the same issue, and have not figured out how to fix it yet.

Big problem here. I flashed to a TW rom to fix my gps, (Empty Galaxy) and it's not working here. On mdk bootloader and nc5 modem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
That's an international build. I had problems getting a lock on it myself. Try a Verizon stock ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cowbell_Guy:
For me the stock kernel has been buttery smooth. Way better than googy. Although I do miss the ability to change volume levels.. Anyone have any ideas how to do that? Overall my volume is low from speaker and earpiece across the board
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
You can try this Sound Mod

Note: read the first post of the thread for base instructions. If you are a windows user, you can try using notepad++ and my macros. They work for me but nobody has responded if they work for others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Try this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53159654&postcount=150&nocache=1&z=6131799272261560

Should work, but I haven't tested it.

Make sure you have a good Nandroid, a bad value on your sound configs will give you a bootloop.

(If you know how to restore system files from within recovery and/or adb you could just backup: /system/etc/snd_soc_msm/snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] radpp16:
The phone has 16GB. The GPE rom doesn't have any bloatware and its only ~300MB. I was predicting 12GB+ free space immediately after a clean full wipe install (prior to apps and appdata being installed/restored). Please educate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
that is not correct, the storage on the phone is partitioned = you will never see "12 gigs free"

Hey guys,

It seems like my GPS keeps pointing west no matter what app I use.

I tried the Smart Compass, GPS Status, and many others. I lock perfectly fine, but I just can't get my directions to be fixed.

Any help?

-J
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mystique:
Jerry,

What I did to overcome that problem when this ROM was still new..

Simple flashed a touchwiz ROM.

Nandroid this of course. Opened anything GPS related, got a lock. Then restored my GPE ROM.

Then I never had GPS lock issues again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
It's there a multi window mod/app that works with this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
He said he locks perfectly fine thats not the issue

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

You can try the omni multiwindow xposed module and see how it works but this AOSP so can't have Samsung's multiwindow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mystique:
All good,

Then there is no problem..

If the coordinates are wrong, does that count as a lock still?

I like when my GPS locks correctly..

Just saying.

[MENTION=237922]Jerry[/MENTION]

Did you modify your gps.conf at all?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
Tried it.

It downloads and installs properly and I can even open it and select the apps I want to use in multi window. There's just no way to activate the multi window panel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
IIRC, you open apps in a second window via a long press context menu in recents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
I got it working once, but the setup was very complicated as I recall. Took me a couple attempts at different times to get it working, but the experience was not even close to the TW version, so I didn't use it. I found using the Menu-Be-Gone xposed module to just move recents to the menu button, and then just toggling between the apps, worked faster for me than the TW multi window did. Just couldn't see both apps at the same time, so felt less convenient, but in overall time spent doing whatever I was doing between the two apps, it was faster to just keep going back and forth in recents(faster once you stop having to wait for a long-press of the home button.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] krypto1300:
BTW, usually I just flash the ROM again to get the stock kernel back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamjerry123:
Did this fix your compass direction?

EDIT:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sinner822:
For myself on a locked mk2 bootloader and GPE 4.4.4. The compass is correct. GPS is about 13ft off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamjerry123:
And how did you get that to fix the compass?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
you may have a hardware issue, I have never had compass issues or gps issues in general with this rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sinner822:
Was responding to your quote within your post. Not your link.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
I think most people have never had the compass work right at all unless on a stockish TW ROM. North and south are always reversed for me on this ROM. Was discussed ad nauseum a few hundred posts ago. No GPS issues for me, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jstaab:
No GPS issue here with this rom. However, always have compass issues initially. I just run a compass app that allows for calibration. With that said, it usually takes nearly a dozen attempts for it to finally take.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
Trying to switch back to the other GPE boot animation and it won't seem to switch. Anyone do this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mystique:
I also have control issues, hence the need for custom ROMs.. but boot animations I generally only see when there are problems..

First World Problem.. Just saying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheRealStarkman:
Liking this ROM. Far fewer issues than others. However two issues.

1. Does anyone else have problems with what's this sing e widget? Does nothing for me.

2. This just started happening but when I do dialing with Bluetooth with my car or OK Google the sound is now defaulting through the phone instead of the Bluetooth. I have to manually change it every time.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
How are you trying to go about this? You just need to pull the original QMG files from the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
Well I was replacing the bootanimation.zip that was in the media folder. Does the gpe use qmg files instead?

Edit: Got it working, found some QMG files and changed the permissions to RW-R-R with my file browser.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gleggie:
When I flash this and boot, i get "System software not authorized by Verizon wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wirless store for help"

Edit: resolved, forgot to flash loki-doki
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
Did you flash Loki -doki zip after flashing ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gleggie:
Wow i completely forgot, thanks lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
lol its happens. This is a really great build. Haven't found any flaws. Kernel seems very responsive and stable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gleggie:
Do i need to flash gapps with this ROM? I flashed gapps after loki-doki and my google keyboard constantly FC'd after i booted up

Edit: i flashed it again without gapps and my google keyboard is no longer fc'ing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
No gapps needed .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] radpp16:
Likely placebo effect, but like a dumbass I dialed *228 press 2, and it "damaged" Sim card. Went to verizon popped in a new one free of charge, and now my LTE speeds are above average. No more dropping to 3G in weak signal areas.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
I can definitely confirm my compass has always pointed in the correct direction on this rom. And I've flashed or reflashed it several times. Never had anything to fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdfrye:
My compass is inverted. Never really use it so I never looked for a fix or tried any
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrw1215:
I don't think this is ROM/ kernel related, as I've been running the latest version of this ROM and KToons kernel since both came out, but for the last week or two, I've noticed my battery is draining super fast, and I'm really not sure why. I can't really think of anything I've done differently. Like right now, I'm close to 10 hours off the charger, and I'm down to 44%, but my screen on time is only 35 minutes. In the battery stats, Android OS is at 22%, and clicking on it, it lists "Keep awake" at 7 hours and 15 minutes. That's probably why, huh?

Any idea what's causing this? The only thing I can think of is that I have AcDisplay installed, but I've been using that for a long time, now. They did just update the app not too long ago, though... Anyone else that use AcDisplay suddenly noticing higher battery drain? Or could it be something else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Download wakelock detector from play store to find out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrw1215:
Downloaded it now, going to see how my phone fares for the day, then I'll see what this app says.

Question, though, I'm not particularly tech-savvy about this kind of thing; from what this app tells me, how do I interpret what is draining my battery so much?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
s-view is known to screw with compass. not sure if this helps those who have issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Just post what it says if you can't figure it out. But I'll bet you won't need help with that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Nope...but you just gave me an idea...going to pull out my nfc/qi insert and see if it works better...just remembered that my Samsung qi charger back (yep, brizey is a phone gear freak) has this odd metal plate in it. Wondering now if it is a shield for the compass.

How is the 4g on this ROM? I seem to always have 4g issues with any custom ROM for some reason. It would be nice to actually be able to use a ROM without having to manually switch 4g on and off just to get it to come back after leaving wifi or something. Are there no radios for MDK or am I just blind to the post.

Just watch out!

BTW, I was running the latest version of the ROM with Nova and it was running perfectly until this.

I was in a weak signal area over the weekend and had to repeatedly turn data off/on to get any kind of data signal.

My phone with this ROM was showing 3G with one bar of signal strength. Often I would have a voice signal and no data. Toggling the data signal off and on would usually get the weak data signal restored.

I wonder if a TouchWiz ROM would have done better. I am watching this Eclipse ROM as an alternative, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2351840 which is TW-based with AOSP styling and a lot of bloat removed.
