Mine seems to do this on most reboots as well, and I think it's because it takes a little longer for the mobile network connection to be established than usual (or expected).

I've had no issues with the APN "sticking" on reboots with this version and I always seem to get a connection (LTE) when booting...but it definitely takes a little longer to grab a signal than it did running TW. When I first boot up and it's searching for network, I'll get the FC for "com.android.phone" while there is still no connectivity, but a few seconds later once the mobile network is up, the phone works fine...so I'm assuming that the phone crashes due to lack of connection, but it doesn't seem to affect anything so I'm not going to worry too much about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
I can see that. I just did a reboot where i didn't touch it at all for a few min, and didn't get a FC. I guess i just have to be patient.

This install round, the LTE does seem to be sticking, so i think i can live with it for the time being.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tbcpn:
Exact same issue here. Complete wipe and re- flash 3X times, but cannot get LTE to stick. Otherwise, this ROM is sick-smooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
For those of you looking to install this using Philz recovery. I just installed it, on my father;s phone, and his phone is using Philz 6.0.3.2. It worked fine. :good:

Also, just want to mention, that LTE kicked in immediately, after setting the APN.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shpotik:
Loving the ROM! Just wish LTE would stick all the time...I mean its good for the most part, but what I've noticed was when I go a lot of on and off WiFi or go from good to poor service for instance when I'm driving through a bad service area....LTE gas trouble connecting back...I hope this can be solved in future releases! Other than that loving this ROM!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kprice1658:
+1 - Love the rom. For me, lte sticks as long as I stay in the same area. Soon as I leave the house - have to go thought the reset procedure again. Not sure if it a hand-off issue or something to do with leaving wifi. But - at least we what to do now!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Haven't had to change LTE options since Saturday. Maybe I just live in a good service area
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
I keep losing LTE as well. When it switches to 3G for any period of time it rarely picks LTE back up unless I go through the procedure in the op. When this happens when I go to access points nothing is selected.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Are u using the aeroplane mode when choosing APNs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
Yes. I have to switch on airplane mode then select Verizon LTE Internet. It works fine as long as I have LTE or quick 3G switches. If it gets on 3G for awhile it won't switch back unless I do the airplane/access point thing again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] godzirrarawr:
I truly do love this ROM and everything it has to offer.

So far its perfect daily driver for me except for one thing. Touchwiz had an awesome dock mode that would detect via either a cable or the dock itself when it was docked, and would run an app. In my case, iBolt Dock n Drive.

Is there any way to get this functionality back? One of the things I liked was that while it was in dock mode, if I hit the 'home' button, it wouldn't take me back to my launcher, it would always stick with the dock app till it was undocked.

Any ideas?

Otherwise, this is badass, and I appreciate all the work thats gone into it.

CarHome Ultra. I've been using it for years. Pressing home brings you back to it. Plus, the speedometer feature is great. I don't even look at my car's speedometer anymore.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
LTE is working great for me, haven't lost it on several reboots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
For me reboots are no issue at all with LTE, it always comes back. The issue is, if the phone switches to 3G for a decent length of time, I always have to do airplane mode and re-select LTE - Verizon Internet to get LTE back.

I'm using the suggested LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA. Would going to like LTE/CDMA/EvDo help the handoff any?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
That's what I do as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Hey, I tried a clean flash in TWRP 2.5.0.2 after Odin and it never booted up. It just kept randomly vibrating on the Galaxy S4 Screen.

Then I tried [MENTION=2167811]Tepifan[/MENTION] method and it actually worked. It booted up to the welcome Screen in about a minute. So thanks [MENTION=2167811]Tepifan[/MENTION], [MENTION=1644890]the sandman89[/MENTION], and [MENTION=4304370]jds3118[/MENTION] and @Danvdh and [MENTION=4325945]ktoonsez[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION] :highfive::highfive::highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
Oooh nice a solution was found. Flashing this now!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Glad to hear you guys have got it figured out. You're going to love this ROM. Cheers!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tepifan:
While I'm glad you got the rom booting, it seems like maybe the kernel is a partial fix. While my method got myself and others booting, I have only gotten on LTE once with quite a bit mucking about with APN's I had from a previous backup. Seem's like a few kinks to iron out, but we're on the way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
What APN setting did you choose? My LTE has been rock solid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
It's not worth it to me. With the s5 coming in a few months I would get that before a phone I've had before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
added your install method to the OP, probably needs something added to support loki to the updater-script as this is my first time dealing with it

as for the data, try not to restore any backups, the method in the OP seems to do the trick
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Knowing Verizon, they probably won't have it until Fall. :silly: I plan on picking up the S5, when they release it, but I have a feeling it's going to be locked up pretty tight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Lol so true with they slow selves
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
Yea no LTE for me either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Are you guys choosing an APN with the APN Shortcut app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
You have lte?

I always follow what you say around the forums

I won't be home till 6pm and I'm looking forward to flashing this, but I get concerned when I read the various issues.

Thanks

and no, I'm not a stalker. lmao
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tepifan:
Upon getting the ROM to boot, I've been following the instructions in the OP about the phone info app. Haven't gotten 4G at all with that method, though I have popped onto 3G a few times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Did the people who don't have LTE follow this step in the install instructions?:

- open the included myphoneinfo app scroll down and hit box to turn off radio then right above that change mode to LTE/gsm/CDMA then hit box to turn radio back on and that should be it. Now LTE may not pick up right away it may start on 3g then switch to LTE .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
My phone is running freaking sweet. I don't see myself leaving this ROM for a while. LTE coming in strong, and quadrant scores (not that they really mean anything) right around 11000.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
Yea, I did that. The 3G icon goes away, and then I'm left with no connection at all even after toggling the radio back on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] johnfoam:
Bummer - same for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Which APN did you choose? I set mine to LTE-Verizon IMS, and all is well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tepifan:
I can choose the LTE - Verizon IMS and it just will lose 3G if I have it, and then switch back after a few seconds to EHRPD - Verizon Internet. Have you rebooted and had LTE after?

I live in an area with amazing LTE, so I know it's not reception.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
It certainly won't hurt to try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
It helped mine. In poor signal areas, it drops down to ehprd and jumps back to LTE when signal improves again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
I'll update the op when more confirm

This makes sense. The value suggested is global. I think selecting lte/CDMA is better
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] timeToy:
For these with GPS issues, this works:

- Backup your ROM

- Restore from a TW 4.3 backup or re-install from scratch

- Do a quick setup and a get a GPS lock with your TW 4.3 ROM

- in Recovery, for a full wipe/factory reset, DO NOT select "Install a new ROM"

- Restore from your backup (from step 1)

- Reboot

- Test GPS, it should be working...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
Odd, I didn't have to modify anything in build.prop to get it to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Demiurge7:
I find that surprising. The app will install, and it will install the driver - but will not stick after reboot for me - nor will the sound change when activating within the app. I have tried this on several KK roms, and have never had a time where it just installed without any editing (all previous android versions were a paste-edit permissions and done). I believe I modified the lpa.decode and lpa.use-stagefright. One of the three options does not appear in the build.prop. You sure its working, and doesn't just look like its working? I obviously always try and stay away from the build prop, so I did actually try - and could not get any changes without modifying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
I am positive it's working, I always test by setting Playback Gain Control (or Extra Loud on the Speaker settings) to Extreme and toggling it, easiest way IMO to hear an immediate difference. Also getting confirmation in V4A Driver Status that it is processing. I have v2.3.2.2 installed as a user app and did not remove/delete Music FX. I also had no issues getting it to work on CM11, aside from a bug in the CM code (from what I could tell) that would not enable the processing until the next track auto advanced. I've tested it on both Play Music and Spotify so far (both gave me issues with the same bug on CM11 and no issues on this ROM). The only build.prop edit I do is changing the screen density.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Demiurge7:
Ill remember that for next time, and will keep better track of what I am trying before editing. I mean, I have installed this so many times... I feel like I would have ran across a time where it worked without editing (post 4.3). I checked and am on the same version (2.3.2.2), and am sure I tried several ways to get it to work before editing the build.prop - albeit, some of the old ways. I suppose experience varies per user. In any event - any way you can get it installed: its easy and a great addition to a stellar rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Being that our (Verizon) sim only supports CDMA/lte it only makes sense to use this option otherwise it is searching for a signal it does not support. I'm not really sure if our hardware supports gsm but if it does it would only be useful if you had a gsm sim inserted in the device but still then I don't know of a sim that can do both CDMA/gsm but I'm not a worldly person.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ks3rv3rg:
After I switched to LTE/CDMA the handoff is noticeably more stable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
I noticed more stability when I changed settings/more/mobile network/network preference to LTE /CDMA /evdo .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Ok, it is unanimous, cdma sims do not work on gms networks... so why search for the network... got it.. Use LTE /CDMA /evdo and the world rotates properly! Now, on to 'quite hours' :) I know its not a google feature but it should be! This is not a request, I just feel like Bode Miller rite now and I need to vent.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Did you check out Sound Profile?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
You guys are awesome
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Yes, thanks for the suggestion! I have attempted many play store alternatives to 'quite hours' and have not found a happy alternative as of yet. I do not need my phone to geo locate me while i am taking a **** and turn off the ringer to not embarrass me. I don't need my phone to have pretty tiles that entertain multiple quite hour operations. I am sure these are great for someone that does not want to be reached while ****ting, but for me, I get bored on the pot. I am a X=no sound Y=Sound A,B,C can call me unless its an emergency kind of guy. Simple, like quite hours....

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

Here, I wrote the code in qbasic for you... you can thank me later!

print "When would you like Quite Hours to start?"

input $A

print "When would you like Quite Hours to end?"

input $B

print "Thank you" ECHO PHONE DO WHAT I TOLD YOU! SHUT UP!

edit: This may need some code review. maybe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] goast:
hi guys i'm rooting this phone for a friend and have a question may have more. for now he is on the mk2 build stock 4.3 unrooted etc... i see i need saferoot to root it, but i also see something about modems. first after saferoot what do i do next? can i go to goomanager and download and install twrp? or do i need the modems to be flashed first? I plan on putting this rom on so if someone will be kind enough to share the steps and link to the modem necessary i would greatly appreciate it...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Put the phone down and walk away. Don't try to be a hero man. If you do you will own it, and that sucks. Don't think safestrap is welcome here, you need a MDK build. Walk away, or use a safestrap compatible rom... if there is such a thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] goast:
OK if that's the case how could I not use safe strap and accomplish the same goal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
Ok, I know I said I wasn't going to update to the 2/15 update because everything was running smooth, but I got flash happy and did it anyways haha...

Did a dirty flash, couldn't get it to connect to mobile data at all. Just did a clean install and same deal. Anyone else run into this before you got it working? Thinking about reverting back to 2/14, but I don't want to be "that guy" - I know the 2/15 works great for those reporting so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PaintDrinkingPete:
Short answer is that what you are attempting is impossible.

Longer answer is that this ROM can only be installed on Verizon GS4's that have a "Loki" recovery...which can ONLY be installed on phones running the original firmware (MDK). If the phone in question has already been updated to MK2, then there's no way to do this. The phone you have can still be rooted, and there is the safestrap project that can allow for some ROMs to be installed (check this subforum for more info on that, I'm not very familiar with it myself), but for the most part you are kinda stuck with what you got. This ROM is not compatible with Safestrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
I knew someone would put it more eloquently than me. Walk away!

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

Can't do it man. The damage has been done, no real true way around the bootloader. All you can do is run safestrap compatible roms. This rom is to awesome for safestrap... thats all..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] goast:
so it wouldn't be possible to say... ODIN back to one of those earlier build numbers and follow whatever root steps would be necessary to acheive this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Nope.

I don't use Sound Profile to locate me at all. I have it set to go quiet at 10:30pm, and to turn the sounds back on at 7:30am. Just like quiet hours. Sorry for trying to help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
No. You should walk away. Don't want to sound like an ass, but these kind of questions should be in the Q&A thread. We are here to talk about how Quite Hours should be incorporated in to this already awesome rom...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
Ok, now I can't get any mobile data/service on my backup that I made of 2/14... dafuq
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
No pun intended man. Thanks for the suggestion and I gave it a shot. I really do appreciate the suggestion! I guess I am a nerd and do not like services running that do not need to be. This shizzle is handled by the framework and no need for a 3rd party app to track my poops regardless of intentions. That's all..

Ah, your from MA, all about gps poop tracking provided it is funded by the federal government... *joke...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] goast:
OK guys no problem I'm done asking questions thanks for all the wonderful help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
This is what I get, every once in a while it'll flicker the 3g or LTE logo for a millisecond

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Airplane mode - Select LTE/CDMA/EvDo from settings.... - No airplane mode = good... no? You should never see 3G, that is a GSM standard.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
Correct, I did this in repetition many times... Just went to recovery fixed permissions, wiped cache's and then did what you suggested one more time and it looks like it's sticking. Spanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Rock on man! Glad you are all fixed up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
I actually switch just fine between 3g and LTE I go in a store like Walmart or the grocery store it will switch to 3g in middle of the store than back to LTE leaving the store. And I thought CDMA or evdo could use 3g service.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
nope. not in the US at least. Actually, not anywhere. It is real simple. You are talking about two totally different network bands at heart. I understand that there are world phones but that is bull**** with your proprietary sim. While our device may support multiple bands it also requires a sim card that is adequate for the network. You cannot load this badass rom up and expect to roam from Sprinfield MO USA to the Olympics in Russia with no issue. Now if you call Verizon and ask to pay the premuim they may be able to "fix" your sim ID to work like that but I assure you that it is not provisioned for your account in that manner just like a sat card is....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
Say wha? Verizon will most certainly show as 3G, and is not just used in GSM (I guess you are thinking of HSPA)..

(PS - Even VZ refers to non LTE data as 3G:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDMA2000

http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/videogallery/services-videos/what-is-3g.html

http://readwrite.com/2013/03/05/why-verizon-killing-its-3g-network-probably-wont-save-your-money)

... Anyway, i will concur that setting to CMDA/LTE looks to be better than global. With it set to that, i do not see the phone force close, even if i do unlock immediately, and LTE picks up in about 15 seconds. I will give more feedback when i am at work - the area is notorious for having to drop to 3G, and i can really test it there...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Not 3G like att network though. It might get a bit confusing at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
Well sure, 3G CMDA is not 3G GSM.. but to say that VZ doesn't have it nor should it display it.. well, its just wrong. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
I tried both modes, LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA and LTE/CDMA/EvDo. Like others have reported, once 3G is picked up the only way I can get to LTE is to toggle airplane mode and reselect the APN for Verizon LTE Internet.

Happy to test a solution.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Now we get into the marketing tactics that they use. Which is wrong. So... I bow out to this argument because it will go nowhere :) 3g is an ATT ***** thing lol... I was under there control once. Cant say Verizon is much better, but I can say when I am at the lake getting drunk with my beautiful wife my phone works... which does not matter at the time!

I forget about those in the sticks until I am there...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justda:
I haven't noticed any real diffrrance in the quality of images. That anti shake on tw is better IMO though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] egore93:
Have you tried light flow? I use it for quite time. Not sure if it blocks calls. If people are calling me after 10:00pm then they will hear from me unless it's emergency.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justda:
I use T mobile with my i545. I have 4 phones 2 with real unlimited data and I pay 130 a month off contract, and now I even get to piggy back on big reds LTE data. I have not lost service anywhere in Washington state other than being 30 miles into the mountains where nothing other than a ham radio gets service.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Sounds amazing out there! And it sounds like the networks have a geographical agreement.. We ship tires up that way, its not the norm.

UPDATE IN THE OP

02/18/2014

-Further clean up in teleservice

-Enabled in call noise suppression for clearer outbound voice

-Removed the market file manager and added CM file manager to help you set up the ROM faster, its quite nice and extremely small.

-Enabled app ops native android permissions manager in Settings > Security

-Adjusted my framework-res auto-brightness values, they were still using too much juice in high INDOOR brightness

-Updated Gravitybox

-Updated the build.prop

-Use LTE/CDMA/EVDO from the network selection menu now. I updated the install instructions and there should be no need for airplane mode now ;)

NEW OPTIONAL ZIPS

DarkUI - This will replace the gradient in settings and other system apps with a solid black background

Enable native battery icon for ART - I've enabled the stock battery icon, changed the color from white to black and the font to make it easier to read, this was made mainly for ART runtime users

note: GSM and CDMA versions of this ROM share the exact same SystemUI, you will not miss out on cool features as I make them available

Installation instructions

-Make sure you can use loki!

-Full wipe

-Flash ROM

-Reboot (if at anytime recovery asks you to fix root, say no)

Your phone will boot with 3g, this is normal on GPE ;) set up through this wizard like normal and then just let the phone settle for a min or two (lots of things going on, phone is warm, be patient and let her cool down, this step should always be taken on ANY rom you flash)

- navigate to Settings > More > mobile networks > preferred networks - and choose LTE/CDMA/EVDO

-Open Settings > More > Access point names and enable LTE - Verizon Internet, if this does not stick, simply toggle airplane mode and try again but you should be able to skip this step :)

LTE should kick in and stick on reboot, congrats you have a fully activated GPE ROM on Verizon :)

-THERE SHOULD BE NO NEED TO TOUCH APNS ANYMORE - rock and roll on pure vanilla Android released by Google and samsung, the first firmware to support GSM, CDMA and UMTS

Verizon you are fully up to date with the AT&T, T-MO, and INTL GSM versions of this ROM ;) they have nothing you don't

If you are reading this Verizon Wireless, screw you, screw your mentality, screw your monopoly. How dare you lock the bootloader on one of your flagship phones, how dare you deny many of your PAYING customers access to this ROM, you do realize a simple unlock of the bootloader in 4.4.2 will make tens of thousands of pissed off, ready to hop to TMO customers happy right?

Canadian networks treat the customers better then you, that is why when you tried to expand here it didn't work out so well. you pulled out saying you weren't interested because you knew you would get your but kicked, you knew you could not compete with our HSPA+LTE network, our prices, our vison and our CUSTOMER SERVICE
