ROM definitely leaves existing modem in place. I'm working on the speculative idea that phone calls are goofing my 4G. Using Tasker and Secure Settings to toggle mobile data on hangup. So far so good.

Also, highly recommend Lux for brightness management. I find the front camera gives the app reliable readings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
Well that's one of the problems. When you're calibrating you need to be outside with clear line of sight to the sky. The GPS needs a clear view of the satellite. You'll get better results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gpz1100:
I gave up trying to calibrate my compass. I have issues with it in any rom including stock TW. Some of these chips are just broken.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jstaab:
That was my point I have a feeling some are trying to calibrate around metal. However, I don't think calibration of your compass uses the GPS, but I may be mistaken.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
So today I tried to use the GPS and use Google Navigation. It wasn't working so I wasn't sure what was going on. I found that many people had issues with GPS Lock and the compass. I did some tests and I'm also experiencing the issues the others are having.

I flashed my nandroid of my old TW ROM and I was able to get a GPS Lock and compass working. Now I flashed back to this GPE ROM think that everything will work but still nothing. I did this a few times and couldn't get the gps or the compass to work.

Also, for some reason, I wasn't able to pick up 4G LTE, I was only getting 3G.

I wonder what the problem/fix may be..

Just sharing to build awareness on this issue!

Alright, running the nexus version since the release and I have found no bugs so far! Great work dan!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdfrye:
Yep been running fine for me on every new build since his June releases. My compass is 180 off but what do i need that for? Moto 360/Android wear also works flawlessly, not like the CM build which all CM builds have issues with android wear as of now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] collindv:
The only reason I care about the compass is Google sky map. Has never worked correctly for me on these roms.

Anyone use xposed gravity box with this rom and notice worse battery? I love the xposed but i think it's hurting my battery. Re flashed stock w kt kernel on full charge, woke up to 97% 8 hr night, installed xposed etc. Same process woke up with 85%. Any thoughts?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
I use GravityBox and I get great battery life. At the end of the day I usually have 50-60% left on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kasper DG:
So, I'm currently using Hyperdrive, but gonna try something for stock based. I think I've been getting worse battery life since flashing Hyperdrive.

Anyways, my phone is MDK. So, I'm wondering, since the instructions said Verizon users need to flash loki doki after flashing rom, would I still need to do that, even with MDK?

Also, is loki doki included in the zip file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biznazz:
I am pretty sure I got this from everything I have read but ss users CANNOT flash this rom due the fact it is based off the ge kernel. So even if we were to flash our tw modules it would just muff this up. Am I correct in this assumption.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaysonDroid:
If I'm on an older version of this ROM can I dirty flash the newer update or do I have to do a clean installation?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
LokiDoki is not included. You need to flash it with MDK.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ribenabob:
I've dirty flashed the last several versions and not had any issues.

of course your mileage may vary, always make a backup and if you have issues you can revert or try a clean flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaysonDroid:
Alright cool. Thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gpz1100:
Has anyone figured out a way to eliminate the capacitive buttons from being triggered when the screen is touched first. For example, if I'm scrolling on the right edge of the screen, as soon as I hit the bottom and touch the back button by accident, it triggers a back function.

This does not appear to be the behavior in stock TW. If you manipulate the screen first, it locks out the capacitive buttons until finger(s) are lifted from the screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Should be fine, but here's Dan's archive: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358536742
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AzureShadow:
Can I ask what exactly the steps are in your 'flash a TW rom and get a gps lock thing' because I want to try it as I am not getting GPS at all on this rom.

I tried flashing a TW rom, opened GPS Status and Toolbox, got a lock, and then flashed this rom, but I still am not getting a GPS signal at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] natec003:
I actually did this today with this rom to get it to work

1. Wipe then flash as close to a stock TW rom as you can... I use a 4.3? (I believe) version from the development section called hells rom... It's super debloated

2. Download Google maps and enter navigation to a trivial location (make sure the turn by turn talks to you) .

3. Immediately power off and boot into recovery... Don't leave the navigation screen

4. Wipe or restore a backup of this rom, or reflash fresh. It has worked for me on various roms on various occasions.... Even with my old thunderbolt lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kasper DG:
Couldn't you just install the TW camera apk? Or does it use some kind of software that isn't in the Google Edition?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Correct it depends on touchwiz framework
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kasper DG:
Well that's a shame.

Anywho, I flashed the Customized Edition of this rom earlier. I'm diggin it. Even coming from Hyperdrive. Now don't get me wrong, Hyperdrive is a great rom, but it was just time for something cleaner, simpler, and not so battery draining.

Almost thought I messed up because I couldn't get my phone to kick from 3g to LTE. But after some playing around with the network settings, and a reboot, it connects to LTE now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AzureShadow:
Well, this is kinda odd, but I did get it working. Last night I had attempted multiple times to run a backup of this rom, then flash a TW rom, get a GPS lock in it, then boot to recovery and restore the backup and that didn't work, and I tried it 3 separate times.

Today, I restored my phone all the way back to unrooting my phone and installing the original firmware. From there I rerooted, and got a GPS lock. Then booted into recovery and installed this ROM fresh instead of from a backup, and that seemed to do the trick for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
Anyone try the new NG6 modem with this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WishinItWas:
I'm running with it just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gpz1100:
Lots of posts in the other threads about instability issues with the OTA. Likely a result of other things broken in the stock rom and not the modem.

My suggestion, unless you're having a problem, don't fix what's not broken.......
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
It works great for me. Seems bt connection is faster and stronger.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] IMMORTALKING69:
Rocking the ng6 modem, works great, bt connects instantly. Dan, do you already have access to 5.0 final or do you have to wait till 11/3 ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Johndoe123123:
no roaming/extended network on Verizon. PRL update possible?

I have the 7/17/2014 build

I noticed two things:

1) Service does not work off the native verizon CDMA SID for example, in roaming areas ("extended network") = no service. Works fine with mightyrom/stock rom.

2) Network extender provides no data coverage (voice works ok).

Is it possible to update a PRL or similar to fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdfrye:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Dan has to wait till lollipop comes to the "International Google Play Edition Galaxy S4" device. Then he tweaks it so it works on the Verizon Galaxy S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] IMMORTALKING69:
I thought when google released the final 5.0 log for AOSP. That would entitle dan to start production hence he would just add the phone specific requirements. They released last friday i believe.

your probably right, might have to wait till it gets officially released on the GPE.

My Samsung Network Extender only handles voice. I use the WiFi in my house for data.

I would be surprised if your NE ever handled data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nhawk:
All network extenders I used (VZW, ATT, SPRINT) provide voice and 3G data. However, 4G phones will try to use 4G data if there is even a faint signal.

As a result, you'll have great voice, but data can suck along with battery life. If there is no 4G signal at all, you'll work great, but only at 3G.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] civiksi:

I was running Dans cm11 for a while but it was having problems with it. Mostly my fault because i got flash happy with the lollipop apks. I actually odin'd to completely start over. Figured I'd give the pure edition a try. Thought it was odd
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] IMMORTALKING69:
Dan, if your out there, i really hope you can incorporate the Dark theme and other color themes (holo) etc. in your 5.0 build. I really hate the colors that there using for lollipop lol. Hopefully xposed will come with an update for all my needs. ughh....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaysonDroid:
I'm on the previous update and for some reason I'm starting to get a strange issue. My phone will randomly get a notification that I'm roaming and my Mobile Network will say Verizon NE instead of Verizon Wireless and has an R symbol. It randomly started a few days ago. I've restored my APN settings, wiped cache and dalvik and nothing changed. It goes back to normal when I put airplane mode but a few hours later its the same again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 00McD00:
I'm having a strange issue as well. Whenever I place/receive a call I can't get my screen to come on during the call. It's like the sensor constantly thinks the phone is up to my head. Makes it very hard to hangup if I want to end a call. Left someone am inadvertantly voicemail today because I couldn't hangup before...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] collindv:
I had this problem as well on an old ROM. I think it is caused by pocket lint. Try blowing in through the earpiece to clear it out. Yes..... I thought it was stupid as well but it worked for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Subroto:
So I'm a total noob when it come to these things. I'm on NG6/NC5. I can't figure out how to get TWRP to install properly. Everything I try softbricks the phone. Can I use another method to install this ROM?

I learned that anything above MDK you can't put a custom recovery on. So I tried downgrading to MDK and no such luck. I'm kinda at the end of the rope here. I wish someone made a guide to flash this coming from NC5 and up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Sounds like you're connecting to someone's network extender, hence the NE.

Once you have anything newer than MDK there's no going back I believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
You can't go back to MDK or load TWRP. You need to learn to use Safestrap in order to flash custom tw roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Subroto:
I have tried using Safestrap but when I try to load it it gets stuck on the boot animation and keeps buzzing. I've tried this multiple times odin back to nc5 and tried flashing. Maybe I'm doing loki wrong? I just flash it after i flash the ROM.

I'm to the point where I may just stick to hyperdrive or stock rom but I've been having a lot of problems with NG6 and I want a cleaner looking ROM, AOSP preferably.

Has anyone who jumped from 7/17 to 9/30 build noticed any difference in 1X or roaming data? Is it any better or unchanged from 7/17? Only care about whether 1X data and extended network roaming data work better or the same on 9/30; don't care about handoff issues.

I have fixed my apn issues and have full working roaming, 1X data, and 3G data over a network extender. I am still on the 7/17 build. I did the following steps that I got from another thread:

1. Download Apn Backup & Restore app from Play store.

2. Flash a TW rom or restore a TW backup.

3. Install Apn Backup & Restore and backup apn. You may need to go to settings and disable ICS Check for app to work.

4. Restore this rom.

5. Install Apn Backup & Restore.

6. Using Titanium(or another method), convert Apn Backup & Restore to a system app.

7. Find Apn Backup & Restore and move to system/priv-app. Make sure permissions are right.

8. Open Apn Backup & Restore, disable ICS Check in settings, and restore apn.

9. Done. You may need to do some of the normal fiddling with LTE to get to started, I didn't. THIS SOLVED ALL DATA ISSUES I KNOW OF FOR THIS ROM.

I've attached a screenshot of my working 1X data. I tested it out in the boonies. Also confirmed 3G data is working over a Verizon Network Extender, which doesn't work on this rom otherwise. The thread I got this fix from seemed to imply that it may need to be restored again in the future for some reason, like the apn will reset itself? I don't see why it won't permanently fix the issue, but people with more knowledge than I can answer that.

Points north correctly as long as I am facing North and South, but Face East or west and the N points South and East and West are reversed. I have Zero problem with GPS fix.

I have Tried GPS toolbox, calibrating sensors etc. I think someone mentioned that it acts like the Phone is upside down (that is a great analogy of the problem)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gpz1100:
You guys are wasting your time with the compass. It's broken. Simple as that. Mine never worked right in stock tw - I have no expectations of it working properly in any other rom, especially aosp.

Which would you rather have, broken compass or locked bootloader... choice is clear :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
As I've said a few times before, my compass works perfectly. I've checked it against a real compass and it points in the proper direction. Google sky map works too, point it at the moon and it shows the moon.

Mine Has Always worked and across multiple ROMS. Unfortunately I use the compass allot so it is not "a waste of time" for me. Both my work and a hobby as well as travel find me using it several times a day. I can always try a full wipe and retry this ROM again. I was just hoping someone had found a simple fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gpz1100:
^^Understood. If your has worked in the past then there is some issue. For many s4 owners though, the compass has never worked right to begin with. There are countless threads about this all over. If your mdk has a working compass you are one of the lucky ones :)

I tested this against my Tablet and a Co-workers phone using "Phone Tester" App. I Compared the Readouts on the Accelerometor/Gyro/pitch and Roll.

It would seem that they Mirror Each other in general readout changes (+/-) as I tilt Rotate etc. Except for the X Axis Readout on the Magnetometer. On my S4 the Readouts turn Negative for the X-Axis When Facing West and Positive when Facing East, also Reversed Z values when Faceup and face down this is the opposite with the other phone and Tablet.

I found that some people fixed this in older Sammy phones by resetting hardware running "sensorcalibutil_yamaha", this file however does not exist on the S4. and I don't see a similar file to run. Nothing worse than knowing the culprit and not being able to google a solution. I LOVEthis ROM...I will try to reinstall and hope it works or move On.

By any chance did you ever get a resolution for this issue?

I've noticed now for about a week my phone begins to vibrate one strong and then a few seconds later two quick vibrations. It doesn't matter what I'm doing at the time it would just randomly do it without giving me any notifications as to what is crashing. I don't have vibrate on for notifications either.

I am running Xposed with GravityBox have been running it for about a month and a half (RAM Bar mod, Change Wallpaper on lockscreen / Carrier text, Changed battery style, added GPS and Sound toggle)

I just disabled GravityBox in hopes that its an issue with that. (Never applied any updates after the initial install) If anyone has some info on this it would be greatly appreciated.
