Yeah, I made sure I had everything backed up or moved to the external card. I really just wanted to clean up the internal storage because I noticed there were lots of folders for old apps and games I didn't even have installed anymore. Just wanted to start it all fresh.

I DO download music from Play Music to my phone, though I always set it to store on the external SD card, so I don't think that was it. I know I had a game or two (which I installed again on my phone after flashing this new ROM) that was in the 1-2 GB range, but my available storage space still never seem correct even factoring those in. I can't help but wonder what apps and/ or games were taking up so much space without me knowing. Glad it's cleared up for now, although, it concerns me that the same thing could happen again without me realizing it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] civiksi:
What version are you guys running? The Customized or the Pure Vanilla? Looking to flash one Sunday and I just can't decide. I go back and forth from Dans GPE and CM version. I like both but I have always gotten better battery life on the CM version which I am currently on.

I have problems with brightness. If using screen filter when changing focus between apps, I get like a flash (the brightness rises up and rises down instantly)

Edit: I'm trying screen dimmer and no problem

I've been using this for quite some time now

It allows you to custom configure your autobrightness curves. Works on many different roms including tw, gpe, etc.

Is this the only option? I tried it and it didn't work. Maybe I set it up wrong. Is this a rom related issue or the light sensor being an issue? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gpz1100:
I'm sure there are similar apps out there. This one does work, and very well.

Play with the settings. You have to disable the stock/system auto brightness. Otherwise the two are working against one another.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AzureShadow:
I just flashed the new 'customized' version of the 9-30 build, and I noticed that the Google Now/Search app no longer has the 'Ok Google from any screen' or 'Ok Google from Lockscreen' options. The app is on the newest version, and the only other time I have seen it do this is on roms before 4.4, any idea why it isn't showing up on this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Doomwake:
Settings > Language & Input > check google voice typing

?Maybe

Corey
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AzureShadow:
Tried it, options still aren't showing up. Has anyone elses devices actually shown the 'Ok Google from lockscreen' option while running this device?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
need velvet.apk in priv-app, pure nexus has ok google support everywhere

search as a system app is a huge battery drain that not everyone needs/uses, 99.9% of search functionality can be retained as a user app hibernated with greenify
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AzureShadow:
So if I find a compatible version of the velvet.apk, I can regain this functionality? If so do you happen to have a link to one that would be compatible? I just tried a few from different sources and none of them would install.

Being able to turn on 'Ok Google' for my lockscreen is a key part of how I use my phone, and I really don't see the reason for excluding it when it is an opt-in option anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
He excluded it because it's his rom and he felt like it wasn't needed. It's a battery/ram hog and takes up needless space. If you want the functionality back there's an xposed module that restores it. Makes sure "Google" is installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AzureShadow:
Which module? I have never heard of a module that does that and I can't find anything in the directory that adds this functionality back either.

Does the "pure nexus" build have this functionality enabled?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Yes pure nexus is fully compatible as it comes with Google now launcher so I had to make search a system app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] friedmal:
Me too, only issue so far...

I am seeing this too, but not on auto brightness. When I use Xposed and swipe to lower brightness or use Tasker to set low brightness... :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hiv0lt:
Is IR Blaster working for anyone?

Worked for me on CM11, then stopped when I tried Paranoid. Went back to CM11 and it still wouldn't work again. On this GPE ROM now, (customized version) and still doesn't work.

I clean flashed for every ROM change...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] friedmal:
Don't think it is included in the rom

I think it was included in one of the earleir releases, but hasn't been in the last version or 2. I noticed that Dan stopped including the Watchon app in the downloads at the top at that time. Would love to have it back ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Have a look at post #3080
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AzureShadow:
Thank you sir, using it and I am very pleased. I was just getting ready to flash over to the Pure Nexus version, but I don't need to now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
OK Google now for 3rd party launchers and apps. That's the one I've used in the past for just what you're talking about.

Apn /dropped data in weak signal areas still an issue for me. Not complaining, just reporting my own stats
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] storm81456:
I had the same issue. Low signal areas would drop data fairly quickly and be very slow to get it back. I found myself toggling mobile data a lot to get it back faster. Other than that, it was a rock solid ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nhawk:
Does either of the new builds allow compass to work again?

Is this for the SCH-I545 because when I flash this last week it brick my phone? I want to try again but not sure im getting the right files
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] friedmal:
Works perfect for me on my SCI-I545 with the exception of the screen flicker at low brightness
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] odub303:
It seems that LTE is configured to connect properly (at least for me) only when the network mode is set to LTE/GSM/WCDMA. In that instance, it auto connects to LTE and the LTE-Verizon Internet APN sticks. Any other LTE network mode fails to connect to LTE and reverts back to the EHRPD APN. I should note that I am not the only one to also mention that whatever this ROM is doing to the modem, it carries over to other ROM installs, which seems to indicate that it is changing an nv item, which is one of the only areas to carry over between clean rom flashes, and even odin restores.

Edit: expanding on this a little bit, after restoring a CM 11 backup, I CAN connect to LTE, but only by forcing LTE only mode. The good news is that in LTE/CDMA or Global mode, it still sees the LTE signal, but it just prefers the EHRPD 3g signal and absolutely refuses to use the LTE connection under those network modes. It looks like there is a network mode preference somewhere that needs to be modified.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bikoman1:
I have a MDK bootloader. Tried this yesterday, LTE would not work (on VRUEMK2 modem not the dev modem, will try that)...no biggy...(I thought at the time)....wiped...restored my Beans 7 daily driver....no LTE :( only 3g. Last night I odined back to stock MDK, re-rooted, etc. Still no LTE??? Tried this mornings build, LTE works but no voice service.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] odub303:
When I indicated above that it connects when in LTE/GSM/WCDMA mode, that is a data only connection, since Verizon uses CDMA as opposed to GSM or WCDMA. You and I are in the same boat right now. I also went through the entire process of reverting to stock MDK, rerooting, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tepifan:
When on this rom, which way are you going about changing your network type?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] odub303:
settings>more>network mode
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tepifan:
If you have the phone info app on the ROM, try that method. Not sure if it was taken out in later builds, but I've had success with it.

Go to Mobile Networks and set it as global. Then open the phone info app, turn off the radio, change the network connection to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (prl). Set APN to LTE - VERIZON INTERNET and then go back once more to the phone info app to turn on the radio. You should lock LTE and have voice.

Report back if you can.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] odub303:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I've tried that on today's build already without success.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] johnfoam:
We should probably all verify that we're using the same modem firmware so that we can try and get to the root of the issues. Issues (specifically audio issues) can arise if you flash a modem with the NON-HLOS data. As indicated by Surge1223 in his modem thread - "Do not flash any of the NON-HLOS + modem zips beyond MDK if your on mdk". I actually tried this a while back and I did indeed lose all phone audio. Had to Odin the orignal MDK + NON-HLOS to get my audio back.

The modem that I am using is I545VRUEMK2. It's the regular, non-developer modem. The thread is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2487298

I545VRUEMK2_modem.zip (http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319198900)

I'm on the 2/13 build and I did have to play a little bit to get LTE to kick in - basically put the phone in airplane mode, selected the vzwinternet APN and made sure the correct network mode was selected in the settings. Disabled airplane mode and LTE kicked in. Made a test call and I have audio. Rebooted and LTE kicked in again. Haven't installed gravitybox yet, so i'm no longer getting the phone force close. I will be testing throughout the day and will report additional findings.

Really appreciate all the work you've done on this ROM! Donation forthcoming.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
Download the LTE on/off app and change the network mode that way. Worked for me. After that, the Verizon LTE APN stuck and have had LTE since
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ponyboy82:
I've actually been using MJ7. I've had to set the APN (leaving the phone for several hours would still leave me on a [spotty] 3G connection), but have been able to get LTE once doing so. I'll plan on finally updating to MK2 soon, but it's been solid after the initial fiddling.

What is the NON-HLOS data? Edit: oh, I see the different category now -- thanks for the warning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] odub303:
I've tried all of these things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tepifan:
Can you go to Settings > About phone > Status

Do all your values look ok there?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] odub303:
If you are asking about my ID's, then yes, everything looks fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
I just had a thought, for those of you who switch back to another ROM, and still have no LTE. Maybe I missed it, in previous posts, but have you tried reflashing the modem to get your LTE back, once on another ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] odub303:
yes, did not work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bikoman1:
I have tried that as well as odining back to stock MDK....which had vruemdk as modem...no joy on LTE. What persists through all that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Okay, so much for that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AspenSTi:
How long has everyone been waiting for lte to kick in? (for those with issues) mine took a good 20 mins or so
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] persom55:
I tried putting my phone in airplane mode and then selecting the LTE internet APN and network type like suggested earlier. Then turned airplane mode off and bam. Instant lte. Did stick after reboot

I'm glad that worked for you, but it has not worked for me.

Loki-doki?

I get the feeling this is one of those obvious search and find answers, since everyone in this thread seems to know without asking. But where can I find the loki-doki.zip to flash? I've read most of this thread and look though both the development and original development threads with no lock. Can someone help me out? Thanks!

Hello, I don't remember reading about google wallet for this ROM, but has anyone been able to use it? I know there are instructions on how to get it working bit wanted to know if its just me or if wallet doesn't work for this ROM and I have to set it up. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdfrye:
Google wallet worked fine for the previous builds of this ROM, I just haven't had time to see if tap and pay works with this latest build. I'm sure it works fine, just don't forget to enable NFC
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] meblah741:
Its enabled but the reader gives me an error message: MC debit not allowed. Something like that. I've added two types of cards and neither worked. This is when I used tap and pay.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jstaab:
Google wallet works here with the latest build. Didn't have to do anything out of the ordinary to get it working

Compass always worked with previous builds for me, including the latest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Hey guys,

I have SCH-I545 on MDK. I'm currently on Eclipse with CM ROM Manager. Wanna try something new and I saw a few posts about GPS issues so please verify these steps!

1. Get GPS Lock on my current TW ROM

2. Wipe everything

3. Flash GPE ROM

4. Flash Loki-Doki

5. Then I'm good?

What is this loki-doki thing? I understand that it was initially used as a work around to enable custom ROMs and what not but it's still necessary?

Is this a step exclusive to AOSP ROMs? Whenever I had flashed TW based ROMs, there is usually no need to loki.. just very curious and somewhat confused

Thanks guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Your steps look good! As for Loki-Doki, as you already mentioned it's the exploit that let's us work around our locked bootloader. It's basically a kernel patch so the reason this ROM needs it and others "don't" is because many custom ROMs have their kernels already patched and Dan choose to keep this ROM as stock as possible so it's not patched.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Ahhh that makes a lot of sense!

Thanks dude, I'll be flashing later on tonight!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] IMMORTALKING69:
Having an issue with NFC. tried to beam a photo and it just opened up Google play and said can not find error. It worked on last build. Anyone else? Also I have a Verizon car charger that is 3.4 amps @ 5v and it charged my phone on last build but now it won't in latest. So I installed kt kernel and still nothing. It says charging but it doesn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdfrye:
Just tried this from my phone to my son's, both running this latest rom. Worked flawlessly using the photos app

Is everyone's alarm clock working reliably? That's the most important thing in a ROM for me, and I love Dan's work.

No problems with mine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nhawk:
Tried both ROMs, and same as the last one, north and south seem to be right, but east/west seem to be switched. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. I thought this was the result of the boot loader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] -Michael_:
Mine is this way as well, as it has for the last few builds. Really doesn't bother me because I never use my phone for guidance but yes east/West reversed, would make for an interesting night if bar hopping.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nhawk:
I use the GPS with compass for mountain biking, where compass helps with figuring out which way to go at an intersection of bike paths
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
How can I test this? Are you saying the map itself shows everything to the west on the east side? I'm pretty sure that's not what you are saying. So how can I tell if I have this problem?

Free storage from Copy:

https://copy.com?r=cScoov
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nhawk:
If you get the "Phone Tester (sensors, GPS...)" from the app store, and open Sensors Status, you'll see the compass as one of the items.

If you keep rotating the phone, you'll see that if you start with North (0) and then turn right, it goes to West, instead of East.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
You are right, sir. In fact, everything was a South direction(S,SE,SW), could only get northerly direction by flipping my phone to upside-down portrait. Then everything was northerly with no southerly directions. So yeah, messed up. I'm still on prior build, by the way.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Just an update.

I followed the steps that I had listed a few posts back and I must say, this is a great ROM! I really enjoy all the work and paired with a few modules from Xposed Framework, it's like a whole new device.!

Thanks again!

Audio problems

I'm having major audio problems and my phone randomly vibrates. I have attached a log cat if that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] flipper44:
Same Compass Problem as Nhawk (tried looking for a simple Root edit fix, but found nothing...hopefully this can be patched in the future), and some Airplane mode toggeling when in really bad cell areas. Other than that, this ROM rocks.

One question tho..Is the Toggle Button on the Notification area "Stock Google Experience?" Seems strange to click on a turn on bluetooth button and then be brought to the settings tab to once again click on a button to turn on bluetooth. Same Question about the dialer and contacts, perhaps I just got too used to TouchWiz and Cyanogen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fivejuantwo:
Same here for me as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bradleyd444:
Me too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
My compass works fine. I face north turn right and it shows east. I've verified the accuracy with a real compass. Wonder why mine works and others don't?

Press and hold the Bluetooth toggle to turn it on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
Add me to the list of people having compass problems. I'm on the 7-17 release.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Regarding the second issue, from what I understand this IS stock Google Experience behavior. Long press to toggle, short press to go into the setting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nhawk:
What's different about your phone or kernel or bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] IMMORTALKING69:
Well NFC works fine now I just turned her s beam off and left android beam on, and my highly powered charger is working also, changed nothing just started working again. So this ROM is pretty sweet only thing is I think I getter better battery on the cm version which I don't get. Vanilla android I would think get the best battery life?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
It's a sensor issue with many possible causes... It's a magnetometer chip so it senses magnetic fields or ferrous metals like an S-View case for example. Do you have a ferrous metal or an S-View case?

Metal and magnets mess 'em up.

You could try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&hl=ento recalibrate it.

If that doesn't work you might resort to searching for the "fix the compass with a strong magnet" fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Nevermind.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] -Michael_:
With all due respect, most of us techies understand how a magnetometer chip works..... That being said, as many have said before as well. Almost all of us don't have an issue on a different ROM, including Dan's CM flavor. And most of us, or all of us having this issue have tried re calibrating. Like alot...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
Nothing. Original release mdk. Ktoonz latest GE kernel.

When I upgraded to Dan's newest release I first did the whole flash a TW rom and get a gps lock thing.

Then I dl'd GPS toolbox and calibrated the GPS.

I get a fast lock every time and it always shows the correct direction.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nhawk:
Do you mean the 7.12.14 kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
Can you try a compass app to see if you get correct readings? My GPS apps get me to the right destination, but the compass app show opposite readings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
I already use GPS status which has a compass, that and phone tester. And they both show the correct direction.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] acdc_rulz:
Is data while talking supported with this ROM

I really feel like after installing this ROM my Verizon GS4 went to the crappy darkside of AT&T with this no data while talking issue. I tried searching this forum but is this something I can fix in the phone Testing menu (hidden menu) settings? I am currently using LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) so would LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) work or is this something more fundamental in the ROM itself since it was a port of AT&T's GPE ROM?

Thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
If you are on LTE then I think you will have simultaneous voice and data. If you are on 3G than it's one or the other.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] collindv:
Does google sky work? That is the only reason I care about the compass. Point it at the moon and then come back, hasn't worked for me in a long time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jstaab:
Compass works here, BUT, I did have to calibrate it yet again, and it took several attempts. After which it seems fine. Calibrating it around metal is pointless I might add, like being around a metal bed frame, it simply didn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fivejuantwo:
I'm not sure if its just me or not but i experience data drop on this version like no other version. Maybe the modem was upgraded in this one, I honestly have no idea but the airplane mode or reboot is becoming annoying. Does the CM version have the same modem? If so I may need to restore back to my old nandroid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scrillakev:
The ROM doesn't change the modem from what I know. Did you ever try flashing the Dev version NC5 to see if that works better for you?
