Runs great so far.

More on my thoughts on governors:

Battery life is just not that dependent on the governor. Its just not. It's like this:

Crazy power user profile:

24 hours in a day

= 8 hours sleeping/getting ready/etc. Phone is on charger. Governor is irrelevant.

+ 3 hours of use (thats almost 20% of your waking life staring at a 5" screen)

+12.5 hours sitting in your pocket in deep sleep where governor is basically irrelevant

+ 0.5 hours offline processing...and that is probably an over estimate...downloading email, etc.

The three hours of screen time account for 60% of your battery loss. So the governor only impacts 40% of the primary use battery to begin with at the most. Let say you loose about 1/2% per hour idle. For 21 hours idle is about 10%. So about 36% of all battery use can be affected by governor. Then...most governors basically do the same thing. Jump up the speed with load and drop it when the load goes away. Some governors aggressively track to low speed. Some boost with touch to try to get ahead of building load. Etc. Either way, there can only be so much difference. The hold times for higher speeds are measured in seconds. So its not like one governor sits there for 20 minutes at a time with the cpu speed pegged with nothing going on. Its tiny areas under the curve. Another second or two in a slot set for a few more mV.

I am sure some of you would argue with your personal experience. This is the worst kind of anecdotal evidence there can be. No scientific (read: controlled conditions) measurement. No tracking of usage pattern. No tracking of data use. No tracking of screen brightness (which buries EVERYTHING for battery consumption). No battery age. No battery condition. Etc. Etc.

Here's my anecdotal experience. I can't tell the difference for battery usage. Ever. But I sure can tell the difference in performance. Example: the touch boost governors slow down when rendering without touch (tower defense games, etc.). So as I said, I will stick with on demand and get through my day on one charge and stop over thinking this. Maybe turn down my brightness.

Hello all,

I would like to ask you small question.

I have an wifi issue on stock 4.4 rom (It's not stable). How about that when i switch from stock to this rom or type of this custom rom?

Thank you very much all of you.

Any answer are appreciated.

Well between trimming back some apps that keep phone from going into sleep and crap data signal, I need to get my battery life back beyond 6 hours. Granted I do use the thing quite a bit during lunch and breaks. 100% or close to it getting out of car to 40% or less by lunch 4 hours later

Edit: should done this sooner wakelock detector... Weather Signal... Gone! crazy usage and never shows in battery list.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gahar:
Great Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
It's probably not OpenVPN. It works fine with CM-based ROMs. I found the bug reports, and they were numerous, and they were all Android. If you use something built from more bleeding edge source (I tried Carbon with Alucard kernel), it works just fine because the bugs have been squashed.

(Trust me, I just spent about three hours trying to figure it out. Tried different configurations, different ciphers, different OpenVPN client apps, etc. One thing that happens is that Android does not release the routing to the VPN even if you turn it off, but it does turn off the connection. For me the immediate symptom was DNS errors. And it seemed to only affect TCP traffic since email worked. Was driving me bonkers.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] parrotheadmjb:
Only works on homescreen for me if I enable it in nova.. But if I do that my google sound widget doesn't work.

Definitely not a deal breaker, I agree. Would be nice though, but would rather see a few other minor tweaks/fixes.

Overall a pretty solid ROM imo thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lokerman:
OK I've never flashed an AOSP before, so please help me here.

I've got the Verizon S4, MDK bootloader, currently running Hyperdrive RLS15.

I wiped/factory reset, and wiped cache and dlavik cache, and then (using Philztouch 6.26.6 recovery) I did the "wipe to install a new ROM", which I believe redoes all the wiping just mentioned, plus wipes system.

Anyway, I did all that, then flashed Loki-Doki, then Gapps (gapps-kk-20140105)

The ROM was working except for one critical thing: the keyboard kept force closing about every single second, so I literally had to just go into recovery and reflash hyperdrive until I Could figure how to at least be able to type something.

Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? is is the wiping of the system that happens with that particular wipe option, or is it something to do with the Gapps I flashed, or is it the order of the Gapps/Loki-Doki flashing?

Any ideas would be great, because after a year of this phone, I'm ready to finally flash my first AOSP ROM, and this one appears to be, from reading the thread, the best ever AOSP ROM for the S4 yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
Since you're already on a TW rom, go ahead and get a GPS lock then reboot into recovery.

Wipe everything.

Flash rom (verify md5).

Flash Loki doki.

No need to flash gapps (probably the culprit).

Reboot. Should work.

If you are still having keyboard issues delete it with tibu and reinstall from play store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lokerman:
Profit!

Thank you. I guess from reading all the threads that instructed gapps flashing, I did it automatically here, even though I've never done it before. Just leave out the gapps flashing, and voila!

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shpotik:
Is there a patch for charging while phone is off?

Can someone verify that MMS is indeed working with no problems. I was on this ROM and loving it, until my MMS stopped recieving or sending. I tried reloading the APN with no success. Now I'm back to TW until my MMS issue on this ROM is solved. I even did a re-dirty flash of the ROM before going back to TW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Ok Google Everywhere

If anyone's interested, I made a flashable zip to get Ok Google Everywhere to work on this ROM. You should delete your current Google Search install via Titanium Backup or ADB and then flash this:

View attachment 2846505

Make sure you have a good Nandroid before delete/modify/flash anything! As usual, flash at your own risk!

NOTE: It's a universal flash so it should work on any 4.4.x ROM, but I haven't tested it on anything other than an S4 on Dan's GPe.

I have version 1.74 of the Chromecast app, but the "cast screen" option is not there. I could only think it's because of the ROM, but I may be wrong. Anyone else get it to work on this ROM?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Thanks for doing this. I have a question about how this works, just curiosity. I'm running a TW ROM (echo) but wandered in here and noticed your zip.

The Google search apk in priv-app is velvet.apk. Your zip has Googlesearch.apk. Does it get renamed to velvet on install, or? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amoeller:
That would explain why the bleeding edge builds work but not the older ones. Do you have any idea if its kernel related, rom related, or both? I'm using Googy's GPE kernel and that seems to be running the latest source although I think its rom related that will eventually be addressed in another Google release.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
The how it works part is simply providing "system"-level permissions to the app by placing it the /system/priv-app directory then setting it's permissions to 644. It also installs the latest libs and some updated hotword data to make it all work.

The package is actually named: "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-3.5.16.1262550.arm.apk" I just choose to call it: "GoogleSearch.apk" to make it easy to identify. You could rename it to whatever you'd like. You could also remove velvet if you have it installed. This package is newer than velvet.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] IMMORTALKING69:
Just confirming some stuff here. For the people with the gps issues. About a week after i flashed 6/25 i noticed i couldnt use my gps. It would not lock. When i open maps, after about 10 sec it would say gps signal lost. So, i tried flashing backwards modems.. (i know they dont matter ) but someone earlier said it worked for him. NO LUCK, MODEMS DONT MATTER! I do know that i had gps after initial flash. I did flash a couple modems back and fourth to find the best and i did install KT kernel. So somewhere among that i lost my gps. Maybe flashing multiple modems back and fourth could effect it? Anyways, i DL latest CM11 nightly, got a lock immediately then reflashed dans 6/25. Works just a beautiful as first time. Now as for the "finding the modem that works for you". I was currently on MK2 4.4.4 MDK BL stock kernel. I use speedtest OOKLA. After testing different modems giving each about 5 or 6 trys each i landed back on MK2. Now, ive noticed something. I live in Jax FL, and when OOKLA tests the signal in one area, i would get like a constant 2 mb DL 1 mb UL. Then on the SAME MODEM, but different city in OOKLA, i would get like 35 mb DL 10mb UL, constant! So...long story short, I am on dans 4.4.4 NC5 dev modem, MDK BL with googy kernel. Everything works amazing, and my 4g is just as fast as before. So i cant rely on the speed test app to tell me what im getting bc it all depends on where the location it chooses. HOPE THIS IS INFORMATIVE!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CyberZion:
What about MMS? I can't send or receive on this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
I'm having no issues with that. Might be something on your device that is installed that is conflicting with your APN.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
Small bug possibly?

When I press the settings button next to spell checker in settings a blank screen opens and then the phone starts to vibrate with a dot dot dot dash pattern. I have to reboot to get the vibrating to stop and it takes longer than usual to boot up.

Anyone else have this bug?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brw9100:
Ok, so I really, really miss this ROM. So I Odin'ed back to stock MDK (wiped everything!) and even wiped my SD card. Then got GPS lock with stock MDK. Then wiped and installed this ROM. Let it sit for awhile and finished installing my apps. Got an immediate GPS lock (which I could not get before) and it has held so far. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I don't lose it again as that was the issue I have been having with the last couple of releases.

I didn't know it was connected to the built in keyboard. I deleted the stock keyboard and installed TouchPal keyboard. Makes sense though...thanks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jumbie:
Oh well, held off on flashing this despite following the development for months because I had a feeling it wouldn't work for me.

Unfortunately, I was correct. I live in a fringe area. 5 minutes away I get strong 4G LTE but in my actual house, Verizon roams on a local network (Cellcom). Did full wipe and flashed ROM and loki-doki then followed instructions in OP to select mobile network and apn. I get voice service no problem but absolutely no data. I tried using other settings to see if it would work with one of them but also no dice.

Too bad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
did you flash the developer NC5 modem? It works better with this rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JCBiznatch:
You can flash that on MDK retail?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Yes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Feltmacer:
Make sure to flash modem only *
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jumbie:
No, I was on retail NC5. Thanks for the suggestion.

I've flashed the dev modem before and found that retail works better for me.

I'll give this ROM a shot another time but probably won't be the best fit for unless I move to an area natively covered by Verizon. I did play with the APN settings and got 3G by putting just internet vs vzwinternet but it was inconsistent. Maybe I'll try that with the dev modem another time and see if it will work out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brw9100:
Unfortunately it didn't last. Lost GPS while on the road today. GPS Status shows no response from GPS. Had to nandroid back to a TW ROM. Was really hoping it would work but, alas, I guess this ROM just doesn't like my phone.

I've noticed ART being mentioned a few times.

How does one go about getting ART on this phone (VSG4) and what are the benefits/drawbacks?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
You already have it, it's just a matter of enabling it. To enable it you go to: System settings | { } Developer options | Select runtime | Use ART.

ART = Android RunTime

It's main advantage is that it compiles code ahead of time on installs vs Dalvik's Just-In-Time (JIT). So basically ART is ready to run and Dalvik is ready to compile on app launch.

• ART executes compiled code on app launch

• Dalvik compiles code then executes compiled code on app launch

ART should be better on battery and performance on newer devices with ample space and RAM to support it.

Dalvik is petty darn optimized these days so you might not see much difference on an optimized ROM.

One big disadvantage of ART is that it's not compatible with all the apps out there. The one big deal for me specifically is Xposed. Once ART goes full production and is the default runtime most everything should run great under ART including Xposed as confirmed by Rovo89!

As a side note if you do have Xposed installed it will reset the runtime to Dalvik on reboot to prevent a bootloop. So if you do want to try ART you have to disable Xposed first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
Very informative. Thanks!

I'm a dedicated Xposed user so I guess I'll have to wait until it's compatible.

Just perused the international thread. Now I see why you hang out with us VZW peeps, lol. Lot more whining over there.

Dan, I know this is a port, but any ideas on why OpenVPN has issues on this ROM and not other 4.4.4 ROMs? There were some fixes put in the Android VPN API for 4.4.4, and they seem to work on TW and CM based ROMs, but not this one. I'm wondering if it is an APN issue. That's why I was in the international thread--but the term openvpn was never used in the whole thread. Figured that the APN stuff is one of the big differences here.
