Damn this rom has been great for me. I have had a big problem and can't find a fix. Maybe someone can send me in the right direction. If I have my bluetooth on, it fc's and forces a reboot about every 15-20 min. Same on the other GE rom. Always Clean installs. If Bluetooth is off, never so much as a hiccup. Please help. I miss my Pebble.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kench33:
Is this newer than the one included with the rom?

Also do you guys tweak with anything to get good battery life?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
I run the Project Icarus - Conservative profile in KTweaker because I love the smoothness and battery saving combo, and don't change much else. The best way to bump up battery life is to go into Location settings and turn off Location Reporting and Location History. You still get travel time and weather in Google Now, but it bumps up battery life considerably.

Thanks for the tip brother!

Will my phone charge while its off in case it dies?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
No; it is known behavior that plugging in the phone while it is off will cause it to power on again; for most chargers, this should not be a problem (overall, should give more power than used). If it is an issue, put the phone into airline mode to help reduce power usage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
Have you tried clearing the data and cache for bluetooth?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kench33:
Would you be able to walk me thru how to set that up? Haven't used ktweaker before.

How does the Hotspot work on this app?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shpotik:
Is this normal? Only got 15min of screen and sent maybe 5-7 text messages and used about 30 seconds of flashlight. I have Google now on but that's about it... The phone was idle for the most part.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Sure, here are some quick steps to get you going:

1. Open KTweaker from your app drawer

2. Click on "Profiles and Scripts"

3. Click on "KTweaker Shop (Profiles)"

4. After it downloads the latest list, you'll see all of the available profiles. Click on one, and you'll get options to view a description (View About), view actual kernel adjustments (View Adjustments) and to download the profile (Download Profile.)

5. Read the description of a few that you'd like to try and then download one or more to try

6. Once downloaded, press the Back button to go back to the Profiles and Scripts menu

7. Click "Restore Profile from SD card"

8. Select the profile you want to try, and click OK when it asks you to confirm

9. Once the profile is applied, restart your phone

10. Let it settle in for a cycle or so before you really measure battery

I don't run scripts, but you can install those in a similar process. A script allows for tweaking of CPU cores 1-3 (core 0 is the only one tweaked with profiles, I believe.) It can provide additional battery saving or performance, depending on your setting.

Regarding the location settings I mentioned, they can be found in Settings > Location. Click Google Location Reporting, then turn both options Off (for best battery savings.)

One thing I've noticed lately is that if I run the camera or a third-party app uses the camera, my battery life takes a continuous hit through the entire cycle until a reboot. I'm wondering if we could have this same bug, despite no mm-qcamera-daemon process listed in battery stats. See here: http://phandroid.com/2014/03/10/android-camera-battery-drain-bug/

Thanks! Do you use the hotspot feature included on this rom? Its never charged me on other roms, just don't wanna use it and get charged.

Sent from my Galaxy S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shpotik:
You won't get charged
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Thanks, I have used it on other ROMs, but not this one. As I understand, and I could definitely be wrong, Verizon can't or won't (based on a court decision) charge for tethering if you have a tiered data plan. Even if you're unlimited, it is unlikely you'd get charged for it unless you used a substantial amount of data with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shpotik:
I have unlimited data still, and since I never actually agreed or added the hot spot feature to my plan I won't get charged...I don't think they care or check that stuff...my brother had 95gb last month lol

My Google Maps (6.14 4Ever!) also has issues with gps lock after a re-boot. I can always force the GPS on using an app like GPS Test and then Maps works until the next reboot.

I do run with location reporting and wifi scanning off though. Not sure if that affects anything (besides battery life).

Not the torch LED lights lol. I'm talking about the notification LEDs... The colored ones

This is the best rom I have ever used.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
I concur; though i won't lie and say all my radio troubles are fixed. there are still times where the access point, for reasons unknown, still drops off LTE, and sometimes it take more than one airline mode/reset to fix it. Once it takes, it seems to hold for a while... but it does happen enough for me to think about it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] -Michael_:
I saw this today too, still the best damn rom I've run on this phone. Usually I switch ROM's once a week. 2 1/2 weeks strong and no looking back

wait on the 4.4.2 modem for verizon

seriously I just got mine yesterday for telus and now handoffs from H+ to LTE are three times as fast in my area, Verizon might just need the 4.4.2 modem to be optimal, I really can't do much more from a ROM standpoint

There is quite a storm of complaints about how Kitkat 4.4.2 now handles SD card permissions. I have not seen any SD card read/write issues using this ROM.

UPDATE IN THE OP

02/11/2014

-Fixed updater-script, ROM should flash and boot all in one go now

-Data should now connect on boot :)

-Added Verizon CSC

-cleaned up the build.prop

-full wipe and let me know how it goes, I have reports data is surviving reboots

-This is not a messy port by any means, no major framework was altered and we achieved this just by kernel and build.prop edits + a few other things ;) ART WILL WORK PERFECTLY ON THIS BUILD!

it is a very established ROM on TMO AT&T and International with hundreds of thousands of views, the future is looking bright for Verizon users who want to use GPE ;)

Flashed last night following OP and the thread recommendations for securing LTE. I've rebooted 6 times since, and my LTE has been there every time without having to re-enable. Fantastic ROM! If I could find a way to get active notifications (or even better, lockscreen notifications) it would hit every mark for me.

Just made a two hour road trip, streaming TuneInRadio via Bluetooth, 45 minutes into my trip the music stopped. Grab my phone off the passenger seat to see the boot image.. Kind of think it's kernel related as I just updated last night and have had no prior problems. (I use bluethooth 4 hours a day for music usually) Are you on the latest ktoonz? Might try rolling back? Thanks my next step.

BTW - rom is one no other can compare too imo
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vwpiper:
I used to have the same problems with Bluetooth drop pond out The rebooting. The I noticed in the instructions I needed to "fix permissions" after flashing the kernel. Hasn't dropped since. Hope this helps you as well.

I tried to charge my phone at work using a generic charger I got off Ebay a while back, but it wouldn't charge. I had used the charger previously on other ROM's. Regular charging at home with regular charger works fine, so no big whoop, just wondering if there's a setting or a box to click somewhere that may help.

Edit: I just enabled fast charging. I'll see if that helps.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] johnfoam:
Stock Kernel Option

Been running latest version of the ROM since it was released and loving it. Just wanted to share another option for a kernel for those that like stock settings. Just to clarify, this is not a knock on ktoonsez' kernel as he does amazing work.

Prior to installing the new kernel, I suggest that you remove your custom settings (profiles and scripts) from ktweaker - set the kernel to default. I also went into settings/apps and cleared data on ktweaker and then disabled it. Finally, I also deleted the ktweaker directory from the root of my storage card. This gets rid of any scripts that may overwrite the stock kernel's settings.

Boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Flash the GPE_4.4.2_Kernel_Stock_ML4.zip from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2367813

Flash loki-doki from this thread: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/41841-lo...tom-boot-image-on-att-and-verizon-galaxy-s-4/ (if you don't do this, your device will boot-loop)

Wipe cache and dalvik cache

Reboot

Everyone's results may be different, but for me this kernel runs extremely well - runs cooler, no scrolling jitter, and no bluetooth streaming music clipping - and battery life is excellent.

I realize that some of the steps I've suggested above (wiping cache and dalvik before and after kernel installation) may not be necessary.

Thanks again for a great ROM and for supporting us VZW users.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
Seeing as I've never had that problem on this rom, I would suggest clearing cache in recovery and fixing permissions. Sounds like it could be something funky in your system partition.. not sure though
