[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Demiurge7:
Well, I wasnt just pushing buttons meaninglessly - again, this is not the first time I have experienced it. Perhaps "fiddling" is a poor choice of words, but it has been calculated. And having no data at all to start with was perfectly good reason to attempt ways of fixing it - which mostly entailed of following everyone elses success.

I will try the ME7, thank you sir - and I did find my NV backup... its just been a long time, so am looking into how/where to restore.

Thank you for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
Just trying to come up with the easiest method. I know it can be a pain trouble shooting network settings. Only draw back flashing ME7 stock is it will install ME7 basebands as well just so you know. I immediately changed baseband after first boot up once I seen 4G.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Demiurge7:
Yeah, I have all basebands saved, and have the best connection in my area on mdk. Thanks again - I am trying this first, then will do NV restore if it doesnt work. Only problem; the DL is abysmally slow

EDIT: I would also like to mention that outside if this data issue, this ROM runs incredibly well. It has the response that I have always known this phone is capable of, but have yet to see at this level. Great work on it - Just having the data drop put me in panic mode, but will be back here when the time is right
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Did the TW hidden menu NV reset fix it for you? Now that we're a page past that post, I want to check, as that potential fix could get buried.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] odub303:
I haven't been able to find the dialer code. Looks like it may not exist anymore, at least on Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
lol, its the original baseband that shipped with the phone ;) I did a factory restore on the phone prior to flashing this and forgot to update it... Didn't realize it until I took this screenshot; it's already been updated... Thanks for the heads up though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
Out of curiosity - when you reboot after flashing the Rom and Patch; do you let it get to the OS, or do you reboot from recovery just back to recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ecossais:
I let it reboot all the way to the OS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Man, my mdk modem was acutally working pretty good... Flashed 1545VRUFNK1 and went out shopping to find that it sucks! What modem are you running?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] freakyguy88:
Thats odd...... Have you been in that area before with MDK baseband and it worked fine? I am in jacksonville FL with the NK1 modem and i get excellent coverage everywhere. You could always go back to MDK and see if it makes a difference.

On speedtest.net app im getting 31.44 mbps download speed/ 10.67 upload and never go under 2 bars of coverage on NK1 modem. You might want to try the NC5 developer edition modem, i heard that is the next best one.

There is one in the OP right under the download
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
It also seems the CDMA FIX needs to be flashed as well? Dan, does this seem correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
no, that is the wrong DL, DO NOT USE THIS, use the one in the OP

and cdma fix does not need to be flashed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
My apologies, OP didn't seem to reload. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks again Dan! merry Christmas!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rdefino:
Hi guys, I'm a little confused. I downloaded the Rom and the new loki. Is there another patch to install? I don't see any thong else on the OP page. Correct me if I;m wrong.

thanks for the hard work. Donation coming
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
full wipe

flash rom

flash loki patch i provided

reboot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fivejuantwo:

Wiped all usingTWRP

Installed Zip

Ran new loki patch

still get custom kernal issue

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rdefino:
Can gravitybox be used?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] slayer621:
Does Xposed work on ART yet? If not, then no.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rdefino:
Whats ART?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dscblu:
I flashed as per the instructions in the op and I have no texting/calling just data
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
ART stands for "Android RunTime"; this is a new runtime that replaces the system used before (Dalvik Runtime); in theory, the ART system should run better, but it has caused problems for things like Xposed. While i believe work is still being done, it is not currently available, and things that use Xposed (like Gravity Box among others) are unusable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crovax33:
Followed instructions in op. I'm on MDK bootloader. Wiped 3x on newish twrp, flashed rom, flashed patch, rebooted. Data works (posting this from phone) but no cell service. Can't log into google because I have 2 step and can't get the text. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rdefino:
I had to enable cdma+lte+evdo under cellular network in setting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
You most likely rebooted without flashing the kernel fix and it increased your flash counter. That will not go away until you restore the phone with odin... Triangle away might work but I have not tested it out. It will not affect anything its just stupid looking...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crovax33:
This worked! Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
likewise.. after that, no obvious issues yet.

Dan - in testing, has the APN issue from previous builds been more... stable? on the 4.X, in my office with weak signal, APN would get lost like nobody's business, no matter what i would do. I have learned to live with it, but i do secretly hope this build is kinder in that regards... ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pclov3r:
Noticed telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1 was commeted out in the build.prop file.

Also ro.telephony.default_network=8 should be in there as well.

You should probably fix that :)

However, Those would be device specific changes for the Verizon S4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DreamFX:
great work other than mentioned build prop issues

i guess there is no kill back button in lolipop yet...its killing me without it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jstaab:
I took the lazy approach and dirty flashed over the pre-release version mentioned in this thread. Only issue found with dirty flash is kills your custom launcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brentfincham:
What is the "kernel fix" you mention here? Nothing is mentioned in OP about a kernel fix unless you mean the lokipatch?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cell128:
I flashed it on my verizon s4 flashed ROM then flashed patch... Does not boot...just boots back into recovery :( I'm mdk using twrp 2.6 help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Yes, I was referring to the lokipatch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brentfincham:
OK cool. Thanks! Just wanted to make sure I got everything on my SD I need before I take the plunge and flash some lollipop schtuff!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
So I just want to double check the process before I mess with this after work today. I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 (4.2.2 on mdk w/ TWRP 2.8.3.0)

Boot into TWRP

Wipe cache, dalvik, and system

Install: ROM then lokipatch (lokipatch-danvdh-12242014) to flash (since TWRP allows you "add more zips"; up to 10 I believe). Or should I flash the ROM and once its done, wipe cache and dalvik, flash lokipatch (lokipatch-danvdh-12242014)?

Wipe cache & dalvik

Reboot system

Let the ROM "marinate" for ~15mins

Reboot back into TWRP

Flash "Retail Modems: 1545VRUFNK1_modem.zip" from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2487298

Wipe cache & dalvik

Reboot system

Sorry if I'm asking a lot. I just want to be sure since I haven't mess with ROMS since July/August of 2013, so I'm a bit rusty lol. Also, "ktoonz patch of dans kernel.zip" isn't needed right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jstaab:
Just flash the two files in the original post and you should be good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdfrye:
Just wanted to chime in that all is running fine on 2 of my device's. Downloaded ROM installed using twrp 2.7 wiped cache installed Loki patch wiped cache, rebooted it ROM after 5 minute boot animation. Only play store app I couldn't get working is Google authenticator app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MehStrongBadMeh:
This update is running surprisingly smooth so far; however, there are two problems I have not been able to correct so far. Neither of these issues occurred on my phone while I was using GPE Android 4.4.4.

The compass' East and West readings are reversed. If I look East, it says West and vice-versa. I have tried calibrating compass in many ways but it consistently flips East and West regardless of what I do.

USB OTG flash drives simply do not work, at all. It still works while I am in recovery, but not in the rom.

Has anyone been experiencing these issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Stickmount from the market works for OTG, my compass has no issues though so i dunno
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] freakyguy88:
Yeah thats correct, wipe data, flash the rom, flash the loki zip, and if you are are already on the NK1 modem then you dont have to flash it again, unless you arent already on it ofcourse.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rdefino:
How would I know if I'm on NK1 modem?

If I'm not, do I definitely need to Flash "Retail Modems: 1545VRUFNK1_modem.zip" from http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2487298 ?

Thanks

Working Great for me Dan/team. Thanks a bunch. Are you planning on incorporating Nova in the future? Also, i came from skanks cm12 and the stock music player is just awesome. Unless im the only one, there is no music player with this rom. Any way of incorporating that? Ive used shuttle music player on your last and liked it but the cm12 one is better flavored i think. Which do you Prefer? Thanks again great work!

DONATION SENT!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] freakyguy88:
Check settings > about phone > baseband version. I545VRUNK1 is the newest, its not necessary to flash it for this rom to work but you may get better reception/coverage and data speeds on the newer modems

Thanks for the amazing rom!!! Found one visual error when connected to 3g on verizon. The network indicator on the lockscreen and quickpulldown network toggle shows EMPTY. Just a small bug, thanks again and Merry Christmas.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
Ok thanks. I have not touched anything on my phone since day 1 pretty much. Could I flash the nk1 modem after the loki zip? Flash 3 zips in one go or should I follow the steps I posted?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] freakyguy88:
wipe data, Flash rom, flash loki, flash modem then you are good to go. The rom is amazing btw, you will love it when you get it on your phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Just curious as I haven't flashed yet, but would there be any different steps to going back to 4.4.4 after flashing? I mean, you wouldn't wipe davlik to go back, right? But would you now have to wipe something else, like ART cache(if there were such a thing)?

Free storage from Copy:

https://copy.com?r=cScoov
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] freakyguy88:
im pretty sure you would need the old loki zip, so keep that around on your SD card.

And im not sure but it seems like when you wipe dalvik ART rebuilds the apps. Wiping dalvik doesnt hurt anything, so might as well do it.

Does anyone know if restoring titanium app backups from 4.4.4 to 5.0 works? How about texts/call logs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Flashed on VZW S4 with twrp 2.8.3 recovery. GPE ROM is beautiful and works great on WiFi. Have not been able to get a good vzw 4g signal. I did change the signal to LTE/CDMA/EDVO but no luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brentfincham:
Wondering same thing. I'm guessing apps (and likely their data) would be a no go, especially if you weren't already running ART on 4.4.x. I'd love to have my sms msgs restored though. Anyone done that yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
I used SMS backup and restore, and even with MMS messages, it worked perfectly. All my texts restored with no issue from my save made on 4.4...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdfrye:
I've restored a few app+data and they work fine with titanium. Just have a problem with Google authenticator straight from the play store.

Known issue and at this point on CDMA/3G and there isn't anything that can be done about it. Once sammy drops the factory images this will get fixed and many features can be added at that point. Or, someone will figure out how to decomplie or edit smali without ART freaking out and breaking... Either way, its not that far off.

Updated TWRP, dirty flashed over the old GPE 4.4 rom, wiped cache and dalvik, applied new loki patch.

Works well now, but was pretty laggy the first few boots.

Haven't done much since last night except reinstall the Google Now launcher (which restored my homescreen layout :) ).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
No, it is not encrypted by default. Settings->Security->Encrypt Phone will take care of it for you though...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skitals:
Has anyone tested encryption with this rom? CM12 encryption wasn't working with the latest TWRP... TWRP couldn't mount anything CM12 encrypted. Wondering if its the same with GPE.

It should work on GPE... Test it out and report back!

Nevermind, don't try it lol

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
Thanks Dan for the rom, great as always! Just curious, do you plan on adding a percent option for the battery that is on the side rather than on the icon itself? Also, advanced reboot menu? Thanks again, and happy holidays!

Yeah, id love advanced reboot menu! That was my favorite thing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] harshybar:
I am on basbad i545vrufNG6, how do i get to MDK?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdfrye:
Can't be done. MDK was the original bootloader and since then Samsung has pushed OTA's to lock down the exploit we, that have NEVER taken a OTA, use. I do have a newer baseband than MDK but that reflects to the modem that you are using.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] harshybar:
So i can not install any roms? I can't get rid of safestrap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdfrye:
There is GPE rom that can be installed on safestrap but that's a different thread.

We are the few, the proud, the MDKers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] freakyguy88:
You can install roms, but only touchwiz roms and the unofficial GPE rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] harshybar:
Can I get a link?

BTW I am not a complete newb to rooting and roms, I had a nexus and note 2 that I rooted and flashed the latest CM on. But this S4 is a *****.

Is this ROM works for SCL22 (SM-N900J).?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] slayer621:
Everything worked wonderfully in my few hours of use. Had to switch to radios like everyone else to get a connection, but other than that, everything was perfect.

It's funny, I was so hyped for Lollipop, I forgot that I'd have to do without Xposed. After using 5.0, I realized that 4.4.4 isn't so bad. The visual improvements sure are nice, but the performance improvements were not as night and day as I thought they'd be. For now, I value Xposed over Lollipop. I will be staying on the last build until Xposed is successfully ported over.

Note, this was not posted in an attempt to take away from your work, Dan. I DEFINITELY appreciate it. Once Xposed is working, I will be on this immediately!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] freakyguy88:
NO it wont work

Dont try to flash it or your device will hardbrick.. This is for the Verizon s4, you seem to have a japanese note 3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
For anyone who may need explicit guidance.

Boot into TWRP

Wipe cache, dalvik, data & system

Install: ROM, lokipatch (lokipatch-danvdh-12242014), and the latest modem (optional) to flash (since TWRP allows you "add more zips")

Wipe cache & dalvik

Reboot system

Let the ROM "marinate" for ~15mins

Reboot system (not sure if necessary, but I do so anyways)

Settings, More, Cellular Networks, Preferred Network Type = CDMA+LTE/EVDO

I have made and received a phone call. As well as sent and received sms & mms. Everything works (as of right now). It's only been a few mins since I had this running.
