So i am trying this ROM for the first time after using Hyperdrive forever. I love having the stock feel - i'd forgotten how much i liked it.

But for whatever reason, my phone is not allowing the Verizon LTE settings to stick. I just tested again, sitting in my office, which has great LTE coverage. I managed to get it turned on this morning. Just tried a reboot, and i'm stuck with no data. Not 3G or LTE.

I also get the com.android.phone has stopped message on every reboot. I tried renaming the SetupWizard and that didn't help. Any thoughts on what i'm doing wrong, or how i might fix it?

Perhaps i'll try to wipe cache/dalvik one more time and reflash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reebz:
Ok, I posted yesterday about random reboots in my car while connected to bluetooth, 2-15 build. Last night I installed the 2-18 build, full wipe, followed instructions in OP. Driving to work today, about five minutes after connecting to bluetooth, random reboot occured again. Immediately upon booting up, I got the kmsg, attached, I was previously advised to get if this happened again. Hopefully one of the beautiful minds frequenting this thread can gleam something from it. Thanks in advance.

Is there a proper way to steal a camera apk from another rom? For an aosp camera the beanstalk one was my favorite (as far as options and clarity). I tried just moving it like any other system app, no dice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
Currently on the 18 build, but i saw the same performance on the 15 build as well. I will say i am in an area where i do get decent LTE bars...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] harrytery:
Yeah 99% of the time i have at least 3 bars but needed to travel to another office yesterday.

I just wiped everything and just finished the 2/18 install

Does anyone know of a gravity box setting that will disable the hardware keys when nav bar is enabled? I don't see a setting for that beside turning off the backlight...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
No but xposed additions might do it. Or you can ask [MENTION=5168775]Dubbsy[/MENTION] he incorporated that into OctOs
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
Are you on the stock kernel settings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
No, but in am not tweaked for battery saving either.

CPU is set to:

378-1944

On demand

Zen (io)

GPU is set to:

545

On demand

That's all I have changed. I want to tweak voltages, but haven't yet...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
Cool, thanks for the info :)

I'm running the Project Icarus - Conservative profile. It has zero lag and I leave work (~10 hours from unplugging phone) with around 85% remaining. During that time I hardly use the phone, maybe a call here or there and some browsing/Facebook/SMS. So I look for nice idle. Less than 2% per hour is pretty awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Demiurge7:
I dont have a way at the moment - but I am sure that the second, stock backup battery was full. I have a new phone coming tomorrow, so will try the battery it comes with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] madsquabbles:
gotta say that this is one helluva rom! i really haven't used a AOSP rom for any of my sammy devices and man you really get to see how badly TW slows down the device. i thought it only slowed down some homescreen crap, but it actually lagged a bunch of programs actually sped up a bit too. really loving this, especially the 1GB smaller rom size.

no problems with lte and i live in a rural area, so it's not great in the first place. in 6hrs i lost 6% and i've used it very lightly - in a weak signal area, but on wifi. i don't think i'll be going back to a TW based rom any time soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thisismalhotra:
I am sorry if this has been asked before but is it possible to get a safestrap version or are you guys even working on that?? Looks to be just the ROM i wanted but I am stuck with safestrap. Awesome work although !!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] igotgame:
Probably a very dumb question but will this work on Verizon (not google edition) stock rooted MK2 with loki recovery?

Sent from my 2nd Gen Nexus 7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PaintDrinkingPete:
I had a few problems at first myself, but once I got it to work, it's worked like a charm. Here's what I (and many others have done)...

1. Put into Airplane Mode

2. Change APN to "LTE - Verizon Internet"

3. Turn off Airplane Mode

4. LTE should connect

5. Make sure Mobile network setting is set to "LTE/CDMA/EvDo" (you may want to do this one first?)

Regarding the FC with com.android.phone; that seems to be somewhat normal. As I described in an earlier post, it seems this ROM takes a little longer to make an initial connection to mobile network when booting up, and if you unlock the screen before it has established a mobile data connection, the FC will often occur (at least it does for me)...however once the phone grabs a signal it is usually fine and the phone works without any problems. My advice is when you reboot it, just let it sit for 20~30 seconds before unlocking screen to give it time to "do it's thing". It's not really something I'm too worried about, since everything does work fine despite the FC notification.

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

That is exactly what this ROM is intended for.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Nope read the OP of the safestrap thread and all of the times this has been asked in the q&a section it in any of the threads in multiple sections written to help you understand there limitations of safestrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PaintDrinkingPete:
I'm not 100% sure about this, but I believe only Touchwiz ROMs with with Safestrap...

Has anyone flashed ktoonez updated Kernel with this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
Just flashed the updated kernal... Will post later if see any issues, but the flash went just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
Did you have to do anything special to flash? I read on the thread there were issues when flashing. Also, its The google edition version That gets flashed? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
APN has been changing on me throughout the day. Switching from LTE-vzw Internet. It seemed to occur when GPS was being used. I also ran into the issue where navigation was initiated, but GPS was not following my location as other poster mentioned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrnick81:
ok did I miss a forum... when did stock vzw rooted get loki?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Maybe a few days after the phone was released last May.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrnick81:
sorry I meant stock rooted vzw mk2 as was quoted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
Nope.. Nothing special needed to flash.

As for the APN.. I had it drop on me once after a phone call in a low signal area..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Thought that was the case, but you meet know. It hasn't. Think it will be kind of a big deal if it does. Not exactly of course. Loki is patched, bit some other workaround or exploit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrnick81:
yeah the other poster had it stock rooted vzw loki recovery. I was like huh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
Had LTE all day at work. We have a local tower. The LTE signal held all the way for my drive home. Once in the house the phone switched to the Network Extender. So in this direction, everything was good.

It's the reverse hand-off that was the a problem this morning. I will test it again and report back.

Tapatalk app search isn't working right now but I'm trying to use several apps to stream video via dlna to my Xbox and my TV which normally works with an app like wonder share player or upnp. Am I missing something,?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PaintDrinkingPete:
I assumed he meant he had installed Loki recovery earlier, and was now running a ROM based off of stock MK2 (i.e. not a custom developed ROM), as opposed to actually running the actual official "stock" OS

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------

Tapatalk has been acting real buggy for me lately (crashing, strange messages, functions not working), even on my other devices...I have a feeling it's a bad app update, and not anything to do with this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
But what about dlna lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
So you didn't have to delete Ktweaker folder on sd card or anything like that? And again, what version did you Flash? Thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] civiksi:
ROM is working great. I have had zero problems so far. I've been using a touchwiz ROM for a while. Decided to change things up. Very nice. The only thing I miss is the volume hacks. My hearing sucks and my work is very loud. I can never hear my notifications. I searched but did not see anyone find a link for one. I used to have a zip but can't find it. Anyone have luck with this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
Nope, did not have to do that. I just had it download through the ktweaker ota, and let it reboot to flash. After flash I cleared cache, and rebooted..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dust.:
Thanks for all of the help. I was finally able to fix the issue today. After flashing a 4.3 TW ROM, flashing multiple kernels, and flashing a different modem, one of those seem to have worked. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Glad to hear it. I would hate to see you have to give up on one of the two best ROMs for an MDK S4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shpotik:
I don't have time right now, but if you do...go to the hyperdrive forum and search it, its there and it works on this ROM. I had saved the zip on my ext. SD card and decided to try to flash it on this ROM and it worked like a charm!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dust.:
There's another ROM that can compete with this one? What is it and how is it any different?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Yes, the GE kernel. Just flashed it myself. Went off without a hitch. It only takes a minute.

JDS3118's Echoe KK ROM. It's very similar to this one, but a couple of other tweaks. I like it because it has Viper built in. I'm running that one on my phone, and this one on my father's phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] civiksi:
Haha. That's where I got it from before. So mad I can't find it. I was just searching. That thread is just too damn big. No luck yet. But thanks!

**I just found it in my dropbox!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sailrace:
Thanks. I did exactly as you described and it does seem to hold. I've been on wifi all day and didn't think to check when I got in my car if it handed off to LTE properly on my way home. I did just get home, where my coverage is not as strong, and it is reporting 3G,but that's not totally unusual. I'll see in the morning how it responds. Under the APN setting it is no longer on LTE but that might be normal if I'm not in a LTE spot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Flashed, wiped cache and Dalvik and set up oc settings. Working well for 2 days.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:
So I decided to try this out and followed instructions to get the ROM all set up. But I can't seem to access the mobile network settings because phone keeps fc'ing. Any help would be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
no idea bud

MANY downloads and you are the first to report this

use the attached ktweaker and paste a log for me to debug, a screenshot doesn't allow me to fix anything, try a different sim maybe?

did you check the md5 of your download?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sailrace:
This happened to me once...it happened when I accidentally cycled through the 2g/3g/LTE toggle which must have run through sieging that didn't play nice with the Verizon ROM.

Don't know if that helps or not.

I reflashed and made sure to hide that quick setting toggle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:
Alright. Well I fixed it by messing with the APN'S and toggling airplane mode. But the LTE doesn't stick after reboot.

EDIT: Did some more messing around with APN's and eventually got it to stick on reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
I continue to have challenges moving from the network extender and WiFi to cellular. The signal when leaving my home is weak. I have been getting no data until I go into airplane mode and reselect Vz Internet LTE
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
I for the life of me cannot get apn settings to stick... I have followed directions in the op to a T with no luck. Sometimes I can get LTE, but as of late I am at a point where the second I back out of changing settings the apn has already changed. Also at one point the time was registered as 4 hours faster than local time... I wish I could get past these issues to enjoy this rom... :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
Would deleting all of the APN options except LTE-VERIZONINTERNET force the phone to stay in LTE mode?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Just a heads up for people who use wireless charging. It looks like something in the latest commits, broke wireless charging. So, if you flash the latest KT kernel, you'll have to plug in to charge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Sorry but no it's been tried ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
I've been daydreaming solutions. I assume there is an issue with setting APN, etc. directly without going through the ui, right? Cause otherwise I figure you could run a script on boot. And you don't, so I am guessing you tried it and it doesn't work. Or it works but doesn't stick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Maybe [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] can give little more info but I'm pretty sure that was tested and wouldn't stick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamjerry123:
is There no native app to install external apps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PaintDrinkingPete:
I'm not trying to be a jack***, and I also realize I'm not answering your question, but I highly recommend giving Google Voice a try for VM services. Works great, fairly easy to setup, and no hassle trying to get it to work on custom ROMs that don't support Verizon's VVM out of the box.

Sorry though, I'm not sure where to get the VVM apk, or if it's compatible with this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
With all the Xposed mods I've been making? Oh yeah!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
In APN shortcut with 3g is eHRPD selected if so change to LTE go to phone info app and turn off radio reselect LTE/gsm/CDMA turn radio back on also check network mode in settings I think global works better for LTE
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
Ok, if I choose that I get LTE, but the Current Network always says "Roaming Indicator Off"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tepifan:
Thanks jds3118 this works ^^

I had to go in to the APN's as you said and click one of the LTE ones, and had to quickly go into phone info and do those steps as well. Immediately connected to LTE...just takes some quick fingers to get to phone info before it auto-swiches back to eHRPD.

Question about the way were setting the APN like this...is it going to cause issues going between 3G/4G?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
You can change that in gravitybox ;) just set the custom name to Verizon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Who cares, it works, right? ;) I changed mine, so it says my name, in the pull down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tepifan:
I seem to have to go into phone info every time I reboot and toggle the radio and then LTE will work. Not ideal, but it seemingly works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
In gravitybox quick pulldown panel settings there's a option for CDMA network tiles, setting this will probably survive reboot :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
Yea that doesn't bother me. Curious if it's going to switch back and forth between 3g/LTE reliably though, that's the only concern I have.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
So when I reboot it loses LTE. I have to go in and select the APN again and then turn the radio On/Off in phoneinfo to get it to come back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tepifan:
Same here buddy. Seems that there's 2 different set's of users here....those that didn't need to flash the kernel, and those that did.

Those that didn't have to are seemingly having no issues outside of the initial setup. (jds3118 and spotmark)

Those that did have to flash the kernel are having an issue with LTE settings not sticking. (everyone else in this thread)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
I flashed the kernel, after flashing the ROM.

Correction-I flashed the kernel, on the test ROM, I was running earlier, then I dirty flashed this ROM, without the kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
In the APN app I select "LTE -Verizon IMS" then toggle the radio off/on. Then when I open the app again it has switched itself to "LTE - Verizon Internet" When I reboot, and go into the APN app, nothing is selected at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
I only got LTE by rebooting, opening APN Shortcut and selecting "LTE - Verizon Internet IMS" and going to phoneinfo app and turning off radio, switching to LTE/GSM/CDMA Auto (PRL) and then turning back on radio. Even though I get LTE, I only have 1 bar.

Still a good rom considering it's a port. Dubbsy's GPE Port had way more issues on the first build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
When you toggle the radio off, are you selecting LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL), in the choices above "Turn off radio"?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
That never changes after I selected it the first time I booted the rom. All I'm doing is setting the APN, then toggling the radio and LTE comes back. If I reboot, it's gone again until I do the same thing over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
It shouldn't I've been in places where it would switch to 3g inside then 4g as soon as I get out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Try a reflashing clean and following the guide again? If you haven't set up your phone fully yet it wouldn't hurt :good::good::good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Nice :cool:

Did you wait after reboot give time to reconnect? Sometimes it will cycle through 3g before 4g on reboot. Confirm [MENTION=2371173]spotmark[/MENTION] with all your reboots

from my experience VVM doesn't work on AOSP roms - you can install it by pushing it to your system>apps folder, but it never works properly.

I agree, try Google Voice.

Not trying to heap it on, but I agree. It always puzzles me, as to why people would pay for VVM, when GV is free, and better.

Good afternoon everyone,

I was wondering if you guys could tell me if there is a native app installer? Also, how do I set a custom ringtone?

Thanks,

Jerry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
A custom ringtone for what? Your default ringer? A certain contact? Your Gmail? Your texts? Etc, etc, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] elislurry:
What do you mean native app installer? To change your ringtone go to settings/sound and select whatever you want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamjerry123:
I can't install apps that I download from another site. When I click on an APK, my phone does not know what to do with it. There is no "Package installer"... There is no option for selecting a MP3 file that I have in a folder. There is only a select list of ringtones that I can choose from,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Do you have it in a folder named ringtones, or notifications? Depending on the way you're using it, it needs to be in one of those folders.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] harrytery:
My company pays for it, i might as well utilize it.

no need to apologize either - everyone is entitled to their own opinion :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
Man I'd really love to get this ROM working again. I'm back on an mk2 rom because of the delayed texting issue I had with this on multiple builds. I don't mind Touchwiz overall, but the speed difference between AOSP and Touchwiz really makes this ROM appealing. Every time I flash it, I get that delayed texting issue though. Is there anyway I can troubleshoot this? I know logs are usually requested, but that's not really going to help here. I'm at a loss what I can do to track down this issue, or even if I can.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamjerry123:
I'll try that and let you know.

BTW: I accidently flashed the rom again, without wiping or anything, will this cause any problems in the future?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Shouldn't cause any problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
For now I am going back to a stripped down TW ROM based off of 4.2.2 (Beans7). I will miss the speed and smoothness of this ROM. I just cant get the phone to move from the home network extender and Wifi to 4G LTE when I leave my house. I have to spend a lot of time switching in and out of airplane mode and reselecting Vz Internet LTE for the APN.

Maybe when Samsung drops 4.4.2 for the S4 things will improve.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Occasionally tower issues can cause delays, depends on what tower your device connects to and you may not connect to the closest tower near you. Not sure why just remember hearing this info on more than one occasion. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
Yea it always happens at my house, but only with this rom. So odd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] elislurry:
The operating system automatically handles any .apk install, the files you have downloaded must be bad. For the ringtone changing you need to have a file manager installed, when you click to change sound you will be given the option for your file explorer or media storage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PaintDrinkingPete:
Again, just my opinion, but I'd still use Google Voice over Verizon VVM even if were paid for or free.

May be your best and/or only option if, as others have mentioned, the VVM app doesn't play nicely with AOSP ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
You need to make sure you have install from unknown sources enabled and open the apk in a file manager app.
