My APN: LTE - Verizon Internet / VZWINTERNET

What modem are you using?

Would this have anything to do with my area towers? maybe I'll switch back to a old 4.4.2 GPE nandroid tomorrow and test the 3g to lte then back to lte and see.

This takes a while to test and i will have to commit tomorrow or try something new.

Anyone have and ideas what to try besides that?

I have to drive to my moms home , go inside wait for it to connect to 3g then leave to my home 5 minutes away and wait to see if it connects to back to LTE

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

see when I go to my moms i didnt have their wifi password in yet since I just installed this rom. when i went inside I dropped to 3 g inside their house(always did) so I put in the wifi password,, then when I left and dropped wifi I was expecting it to connect to LTE and it never did and never even connected to 3g. so anytime I go into 3g mode it never goes to LTE unless i toggle airplane mode. not sure why it didnt connect back to 3g.

Unless someone has an idea for me to tomoorow on this rom then I will restore my old 4.4.2 nandroid and test that at moms and report back.

Am the only one having trouble with the latest ktoonz kernel on this rom? This is my setup (attached) definitely a little choppy. Is the Google international version the correct one to run? View attachment 2800712
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
would help if you shared you're problems, and yes that's the correct kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
KT-SGS4-KK4.4-TWGE-VZW-06.09.2014 is the one for this ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
I just tested mine. I have a corner in my basement where I drop to 3g if I put the phone all the way in the corner. It handed down to 3g pretty fast. Went in my backyard and held it up...went back to lte within a minute, give or take.

This is good to know that it is just my install. Thanks!

Ill try a few things, and I'm sure I'll do something that makes it work and wont know what I did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sweeds:
Yes, me too. I was driving and had data drops. I had signal bars, but not LTE. Toggling airplane mode brought back data.

Since then, I manually selected the VZWINTERNET APN. I believe by default no APN was selected in the settings menu. And also went from NC5 to the Dev NC5 modem.

I will update if any data drops continue. Otherwise, this ROM is performing great. Love the buttery-smooth speed. And GPS locks on A-OK.

Works fine for me with smart ir remote. A lot of the ir apps are in need of an update for 4.4.3 however. Nothing on the ROM side of things is broken

Dan you are awesome!

Hey Dan,

Just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work and let you know another donation is on it's way (Confirmation number: 2V296284BF062830A).

Your 4.4.3 is the best out there!

Thanks again.

-Kev

BTW, for those trying the different modems, with this ROM I've noticed the Dev NC5 seems get higher transfer speeds if you have a strong LTE signal. (as I do at work). However, the Retail NC5 seems to work better if you have a weaker LTE signal or are on 3G. (As I am at home)

I ran Speedtest to confirm these results.

Hope that helps, guys.

Again, thanks Dan for all the hard work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cowbell_Guy:

Can someone point me in the right direction for getting a 'loki recovery'? I have a lot of experience with my GS2 in flashing roms, custom recoverys, etc.. but the GS4 seems to be a different beast all together. I have the link to Loki but it doesn't seem to be a recovery in and of itself--which custom recovery should I use?

I guess what I'm asking is..

What root method do I need to use (if any)?

What custom recovery should I use?

I'm kinda confused by the phrase 'loki recovery'.

Any help would be greatly appreciated =)

My GS4 is at I545VRUFNC5 right now (4.4.2)

Looked all through the thread and can't find anything about this: Intalled this rom and it runs very smoothly but I seriously miss the samsung keyboard and dialer. Is there any way to get those as installable APKs or .zips? Other than that I love this rom so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] egore93:
First thing is you need to check to see if your bootloader is MDK. If you don't have a MDK bootloader you will need to use safestrap as your way of flashing roms on your phone. This ROM does not support safestrap. You can head over to hashcode thread and read up on safestrap and how it works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GodspeedFx:
I thought I could see what bootloader I had from this screen (I remember seeing it before updating to 4.4.2) but now I'm not sure.. do I have the right bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] egore93:
Did you take the OTA from Verizon? If so you would have the wrong bootloader. I know there is a app in the play store that will check what bootloader your on. I know I have the MDK because I got my phone when it first came out and never took a OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GodspeedFx:
Yep I took the OTA--sucks to be me I guess, haha ;) I just checked with an app and it says I have ****NC5.

I guess I'll just have to find a different ROM that works with safestrap--sucks cause this one looks perfect! Just want something clean and stripped down.

Thanks for your help, sir!

Am also one of those unable to get a GPS lock. Tried restoring from HD with lock, fixing permissions, etc. Ideas? Trying fresh install next...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdfrye:
Some have said come from a TW rom. Maybe try a dirty flash on top of a TW rom after getting a lock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cowbell_Guy:
Update :actually a fresh reinstall fixed the problem. Who knows, maybe a bad DL or something. I'd say this rom is pretty much flawless for me... Hope others are just as lucky!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdfrye:
so last night I went to the retail modem to try because of this post. I went to a know drop to 3g area and it never dropped just stayed on lte, so I may have to agree with the quoted post. So I will be running this modem till I have a drop to 3g and then I will see if it hands back off to LTE. But I can't obsess on this. Will have to see it happen in the real world again. This ROM is the best thing that happened to my phone.

I was the first to report the issues. I got GPS working by fixing permissions. However, today I was halfway to my destination when GPS lost lock and decided to quit working. I used Maps to self-navigate to my destination then nandroided back to a TW ROM. I've tired dirty instalss over TW and clean installs over TW and neither has resulted in a working GPS. Not sure what to try next but I need Nav for work.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdfrye:
I used to have a S3 and alot of people would have GPS problems and one of the major fixes was to open the back and tighten the screws. Sounds crazy and I never had to do it but that was a fix. Maybe worth a shot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brw9100:
I'll take a look but since GPS works fine using a TW ROM I doubt that's the issue. But thanks for the suggestion.

How do I change the boot animation on this ROM?

Hey guys,

Can anyone tell me how to change the boot animation on this ROM?

I've tried the usual suspects like ROM Toolbox, and renaming the new animation zip file to bootanimation.zip and putting it in /data/local and setting permissions to 644 but nothing is working. I've also tried doing the above and wiping cache and dalvik and no-go.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] snael:
I believe he means literally "Smart Remote" by color tiger. The play store actually lists it as "Smart IR Remote" but the actual app title lists it without IR. It is expensive (like $10 or something?) but I also use it and it works on this ROM and I believe it has a much better interface.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdfrye:
What so much different that you can't flash the stock dialer and maybe delete the cm file manager. Other than the it can't see it not being totally pure. Am I missing something? I own 2 nexus tablets and can't tell the difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
You can flash the stock dialer that is in the OP, and it works fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdfrye:
Yeah, that's what I was hoping to put across to the post that asked for a pure experience. The only two things I can see that are not pure are the flipped dialer and the pre-installed CM file manager. Is there anything else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
Not that I'm aware of, problem is what is the definition of "pure" to any given user? - this is pure as far as being a GPE Rom, but maybe he means otherwise - completely vanilla android (although I feel this Rom falls under that as well)

Stock Kernel Flashed overtop?

I have seen (ATT S4 Forums) that some GE ROMs boot after flashing the stock NC5 (TW) kernel with only small loss in functionality (Wifi, BlueTooth, etc.), thus making it "SafeStrap Compatible". And then of course by using many other fixes/Mods, they achieved full/near to full functionality (i.e. bypasskslm for Wifi/BT, etc.)

WatchON S5??

I like the program guide from WatchON... Does Smart Remote download this data? Also Devs... Any idea why this might just be force closing on our phones? It is the new APK for WatchON taken from a Galaxy S5... People have said to get it working on the Note 3 also... Link Here

I installed this app, ran it, it starts perfectly. After entering zip code it FC's and never to come back up again. I then moved the app to /system/app and still the same thing...

I did. Then the compass flipped. lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rajones19:
The compass worked fine on the 3/29 build and prior; it's been broken since then. The compass issue is entirely separate from GPS. I have never had issues with GPS lock. Compass is also broken on CM11 and all builds using CM's source (which is almost everything else!). I recently went back to HyperDrive, thinking maybe I could learn to stomach TouchWiz if it gave me a working compass, but even the current Hyperdrive is broken. At this point, aside from stock, the only ROM I know of with functioning compass is the GE 3/29 build.

GPS Status and Toolbox is a good app, and has a compass on the main screen. It is free in the Play Store. You'll have to calibrate the compass using directions on the menu. You can really see the compass issue if you use Google Sky Map or any of the other astronomy-related apps. The compass is 180 degrees off, so the North Star is in the south, etc.

I'm giving this ROM a try because I got bored. I'm coming from hyper drive. The new 16.1 rls isn't great but I was using 10.2 which was android 4.2.2 and everything worked perfectly. I use the compass for geo caching. Since it's not working on this ROM I'm going to be going back to HD 10.2, I still have the zip file for it. I really wanted to stay with this ROM, I like it better in almost every way.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
Me too brother! The only issues I have are the compass and WiFi tether. The compass is backwards and the WiFi tether doesn't allow any control over which devices can connect or not like the tether on TW ROMs can. But other than that, this is still a beast of a ROM.

For the compass issue, just try to recalibrate it over and over. Each time I flashed a version this rom, the compass was effectively stuck for me. But I eventually got it to calibrate and start working. It did take about ten tries between doing the figure 8 and spinning the phone. One of the two eventually got it working, and it's not backwards.

If we're not having any LTE issues is there reason to wipe and install this new build? My only issue is the prox sensor which this won't effect so I'd rather not wipe and reflash if I don't need to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ironclad Lou:
ODIN back to stock which solved the issue with booting on first flash without flashing kernel, but didn't solve any of the data issues. In fact, I'm getting ready to ODIN for a second time and restore from a nandroid since no matter what I try I currently can't get LTE back on even my backups.

Bookmarked this thread and will be checking back in. Looks promising, but it seems like I'm not the only one with data issues. I'm sure you guys will get it worked out and I'll definitely check it out again once everything works a bit more smoothly.

The problem is the settings aren't sticking on boot looking into it now :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
Weird that I haven't had any LTE issues at all on the 2/11 build. Since I configured it the first time it's gotten LTE at boot every time I reboot it. Even though I changed the carrier text on lock and pulldown to Verizon Wireless, it still says Roaming Indicator Off on the LTE button in quick settings. Other than that though, no data issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Same except that the Carrier text change works perfect for me. I've also never had to access APN settings or phone info after a reboot to get LTE again.

ROM either has a huge glitch causing some people to get LTE and some to not, or its all just user error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
Did it change it on the quick settings? If I go to the quick settings there is a toggle in there which I'm assuming turns off data that says LTE with the little signal strength thing. Under that mine says "ROAMING INDICATOR OFF" I can't figure out how to get that one changed. I got the lockscreen and pulldown fixed but no tthat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Same here. It's small on the home screen too. Download Chronus from the play store (Free Version). Its the same thing as cLock with more features and bigger font.
