Any ideas how to change the cLock widget from C to F?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
Right when you add it, go into the weather panel settings and uncheck "use metric".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sailrace:
I haven't followed the issues you're having. But i can certainly understand that frustration. Have you tried any other SMS apps to see if you hvae the same problem. For instance, I've been using Evolve SMS, which has a really nice interface. It has a few bugs that are being ironed out, but the developer is very responsive.

Anyway - i digress....the point was, could it possibly be an issue with the messaging app (not sure what that would be) that is causing the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
Yea I've tried multiple, all the same issue. Stock, 8sms, Verizon Messaging. I don't think it's the messaging app unfortunately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sailrace:
One other option that might be worth trying - Echoe has a GPE Kitkat Rom also. Some people have noticed certain things on that ROM working better than this.

I personally haven't tried it, as my issues around the APN handoff from wifi to LTE seem to be resolved. But it might be worth a shot before giving up on AOSP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
The Tw based rom that I went back to shows one APN "LTE - Verizon Internet" which is a good reason that the signal locks on to just LTE and nothing else. The Network mode is CDMA/LTE/EVDO.

My Network Extender signal show 5 bars which is higher than was being shown with the GE ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
of course its higher

touchwiz lies to you in the code

not sure why spotmark has no issues and you do, very strange
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PaintDrinkingPete:
Thanks again for all the hard work on this. Donation has been sent as I fully intend to run with the ROM for while.

[MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] you know this is shaping up to the US team going on a Canadian slaughter for the gold :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
lol your 2 best players are Toronto maple leafs

LOL LOL LOL, women already came from behind to beat you guys for gold too!

either way, we are the 2 best nations in hockey, and some of your best players of all time representing USA are Canadian

(Brett Hull)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Lmao honestly I'm a shameless bandwagon fan but I'm betting you have more players who are on American teams than we have on Canadian teams. :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] egore93:
I have the same issue as he does. I've moved over to beanstalk for now until this get resolved. The only problem I have on ASOP I can't send picture text. This is the problem with Network extender. It works flawless with TW
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
that womens game was epic until overtime and some very questionable officiating - but that's what the USA chicks get for "defending the lead" in the third.. .hot garbage. Tomorrow is going to be an epic showdown.. can't wait.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] -Michael_:
No bueno on the GPS for me. Read almost all the pages in this thread, anyone know of a fix? Came from carbons latest release and had no issues. Not a deal breaker for me just as I don't use it much but was just inquiring or making aware I have an issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vtx67:
Recommended Kernal

Any recommendations on a kernel to try?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
flash a stock ROM, get a gps lock

reboot recovery

wipe data/caches (dont do an insane superwipe, it's not necessary)

flash ROM

enjoy GPS
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
Originally I flashed this rom coming from the latest cm11 at the time. I had a lot of issues with locking into LTE. I was unable to have the apn lock and stay.

In a last ditch effort, I spent a good portion of this morning wiping and flashing stock rom, essentially as clean as the day I bought my S4. Flashed this rom, set it up to my liking (including xposed and gravity box) and have had zero issues thus far. Gps lock. Apn sticks. Rom is fast and clean. The one thing I definitely made sure to do was get a gps lock on stock TW before flashing.

Just throwing in my two cents for those that are having a tough time like I was. It's not the quickest process but it paid off for me so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
that is a process I do at least every 6months anyway just to keep the phone fresh =) just like formatting a PC!

I do this even if I don't have issues, like last wipe like this was on January 2nd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Not sure. I checked my sms logs and my wife and I went back and forth twice all in the same minute. Strange. I know the network is not as monolithic as one would think. Different base stations, back hauls, etc. Maybe there is something that errors out then sends because of some config issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
I must have jinxed myself... I am unable to get LTE now. I try the the apn to LTE-Verizon Internet, but it keeps reverting back to EHRPD- Verizon Internet. This gives me 3g but no LTE. The only recent change I made was install AdFree to block ads... Would that have an effect on any of this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dowens9603:
S-view woring with this aosp rom

Is there any way one of the developers could take a look at getting s-view working with this rom. More specifically answering and hanging up a call with the flip cover closed. This is the only hang up I have with the rom. Everything is working smooth and is very fast. Great Job.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:
What was the camera app that ktoonz liked to use?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Snap Camera HDR

I think its Snapcam HDR in the market, I bought it and haven't looked back since
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brw9100:
2 issues that have arisen with my device that may or may not be GPS related. Tried using the YP (yellow pages) app while on the road today and kept getting a message that it could not locate me and telling me to turn GPS services on which they already were. Also, Waze crashes every time I try to run it. I have no problems with Google Maos/Navigation but like to use Waze when I'm on the road. I may be forced to try the Echoe ROM if I can't find a solution.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Running since 2/18 and only problems are 1 forced reboot. Better stability than most others. Deff the complete package when it comes to a Galaxy S4 ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamjerry123:
What are you guys' settings for snapcam HD?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Update in the OP

02/20/2014

-Kernel updated to 02/20, This includes new wifi drivers and fixes for wireless charging

-Open source Superuser (This fixes alot of debug issues for us developers, I've integrated it into the Settings aswell)

-apns.conf adjusted

-build.prop cleaned up

-GPS fixes

-This build should give automatic LTE on boot and hopefully fix small issues with network extenders

enjoy guys!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Anyone notice that sharing a contact .vcf does not work on the stock messaging app? I'm sure it's been mentioned a million times everywhere, just seems strange that textra, handcent, etc all can handle a vcf but stock can not. Seems like a pretty basic function to me, but I am me. *strange.

Actually, I think it was that way on my last aosp rom...

...from some reading this is a bug. wow, big bug when you cannot share contact information... being that it is a pda..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
Thanks for the update! Given that it isn't the end of the world if things get messed up, i went ahead and did a dirty flash over my 2/18 install.. so far no issues seen, but i will keep an eye on things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Awesome :)

Did you get LTE on boot? the point of this update was to up the data stability even more, and ship with a kernel that has updated WIFI drivers :D

I think the issue solved with the Network Extender now, some build.prop lines needed adjusting, hopefully it works out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
Yes, it came up right away on both reboots (the second reboot to reinstall Xposed and Viper). I will keep you posted on if i can get it to fall out of LTE.

(Just did another reboot to test, and the network was up in 5 seconds, no input needed)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Thanks for the update. I hope it takes care of LTE handoff issues.

Don't know if mooted by update, but yesterday I was on 2/18 with latest Ktoonsz latest ge kernel that has been working since prior version clean flashed on 2/15 and during lunch I lost all data, right in midtown Manhattan. I tried to reset LTE and vzw internet to no avail. Then I started to get relentless DC notices that phone ui has coded. Tried reboot and reboot with cache and dalvik wipes. Nothing worked! Had to Nandroid back to HD. Will start with update again on Saturday.

Any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WishinItWas:
Im on the 2-14 still ( updating to the latest today) Also in Manhattan though, but had had a similar situation, going from wifi to network for days without issue and underground in the subway etc without a problem, but twice the phone just really struggle to get data and had the same FC on the phone ui etc. I never had to nandroid though just had to toggle airplane mode and mess with the APN selection ( more than on initial boot) and never seemed to figure out the "pattern" for it to work again it eventually just would .

That being said im updating to the latest and hopefully this is in the past for us!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sailrace:
I just installed the 2/21 update. Wiped Dalvik, Cache and System only (not data) in TWRP. Everything installed just fine.

On first boot, i could not get LTE. Came up as 3G only. I rebooted one more time, and this time it wouldn't pick data up at all. So i turned on Airplane mode, changed APN as before, turned off airplane, and now get LTE. Have rebooted twice with no issue. And have switched WIFI on and off a number of times.

So it wasn't perfect for me. But i also dirty flashed - so that could have something to do with it too. I'm certainly not complaining. Everything else seems to be working great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
Can you install PA Gapps on top of this? Will it mess with any settings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsk138:
I used PA Gapps without any issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] harrytery:
Is anyone having issues sending text messages on the latest build?

***edit: Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Change Preferred to CDMA+LTE/EVDO from LET/GSM/WCDMA

changing that fixed the issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kheltek:
LTE lasted for about an hour. When I toggled off, it wouldn't go back on. Tried rebooting and all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GraffitiKnight:
Anyone else having issues with root? I seem to have lost it after flashing. Tried flashing superuser.zip in recovery and that didn't fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] harrytery:
for anyone interested in visual voicemail - go to the play store > search visual voicemail nexus > install

profit
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
In some way earlier posts, users reported having to ODIN back to stock before moving from this ROM to something TW-based. I did that 2 days ago and it was a lot of work!

I would like to test the fix for the Network Extender hand-off issue. Will it be possible to restore a Nandroid to move from this 2/20 ROM back to a Bean7 back up that I am creating now? I also went back to my MDK modem which is easy to upgrade to MK2, although the TW ROM handing off very nicely from Network Extender to LTE.

Btw - My TW nandroid is 4.6G. This Rom has a Nandroid size of 2.2M which is very nice. That accounts for 2.4G of crapware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
I'm disappointed in the USA offense being anemic, but that was the most dominant 1-0 game I've watched.. At least there's 6 Blackhawks going for gold still! haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Ktoonsez tested this to me and has flashed a stock ROM and back to mine successfully, so I have no idea

let me know how your testing goes swieder, i really want to get your issue sorted, I have a feeling if this doesn't work the fix is merged in at a later date in the AOSP tree's, either way I'm hoping we get a new OTA soon, if 4.4.2 is no good 4.5 should be

I remember 4.1.1-4.1.2 had a bug where you could not use enterprise wifi networks

lol

That was some serious effort by Canada today, they looked the better team the whole game

undisputed victory for Team Canada
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
I did some hand off testing with my current TW ROM using the MDK modem. With WiFi and the Network Extender turned off. I get 1x in my basment office. Once I am upstairs the signal switches to 3G. When I am down the street from my house the signal switches to LTE.

I will update to the MK2 modem and run the same tests with the TW ROM to make sure the modem doesn't break anything. Then I will load up your new GE ROM and test again. Lastly I will put the Network Extender and WiFi back on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tbcpn:
Not exactly the same circumstances, but I had no problem restoring a nandroid of jkruse's MK2 from the 02/18 build. However, restoring a nandroid of the 4.4.2 02/18 build from MK2 caused non-stop "phone has stopped" FC messages. Needed to do a battery pull and go back to MK2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] egore93:
I just want to give a BIG THANK YOU [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] for trying to get the hand off fixed for us network extender folks. Keep up the awesome work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] -Michael_:
This ROM is running really well for me. Thanks devs for an awesome piece of code.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] madsquabbles:
dirty flashed from 2-18 version. seems to work ok so far. three reboots and lte is sticking... though i haven't really had an issue with it til this morning. but it went away after messing with the apn in airplane mode.

so seems good for now. i've even switched from wife to lte pretty quickly about 10 or so times already. great job!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
I bet she's not happy. :silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] madsquabbles:
:laugh:oops, wifi... can't blame it on autocorrect since i'm at a desktop:laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] timeToy:
Dirty flashed the 21 build on top of the 18 build, no issues beside the TripIt application icon disappeared. I can see that the app is installed in the system app list or in the Google play Market, and I can launch the app just fine from the Market or if I create a shortcut, BUT the app doesn't show up in the app drawer! I try un-installing and re-installing, same issue. Not a big issue, just a weird one.

Also my LTE, GPS and Compass are working fine, thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
Was doing the return to stock deal. Totally forgot that to use motochopper I need the stock s4 cord. All others wont work. Anyone know of another method to gain root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Wiped my caches formatted system partition and dirty flashed over 2/14... Running all day no problems! Awesome rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brw9100:
Dirty flashed the 21 version over 18 and rebooted to flawless performance. Also, problem with Waze fc disappeared. Don't know if the update cleared the problem or if clearing the caches did the trick. Whatever - running great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkhorn:
After reading through this thread I have a question. I am running Hyperdrive now. If I decide to run this ROM will I be able to go back or am I stuck?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lagvoid:
Make a nandroid backup of your current hyperdrive rom and you can go back to your exact state if you wish.

You can always flash clean version of hyperdrive back on top of aosp too, so you're not stuck by any means.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkhorn:
Thanks, I thought I read where someone couldn't go back so I wanted to make sure before I did anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justda:
Just noticed ART won't stick if you use Xposed. So its one or the other cant have both at the moment.:(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] egore93:
What's ART? Is that something you install in xposed? I see that mentioned on these asop Roms.

Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AspenSTi:
Went to a tw based build to verify a couple things: First was quality of pictures (both in the camera and gallery), i think the aosp/ge roms just dull down quality for whatever reason. After being on the tw rom all of my pictures from this rom are of equal quality to the tw versions.

Second was signal. I know tw and aosp/ge report it differently, but i get better signal reception with this rom than I did with the tw one. The bars of course look better on tw, but the actual db's are better on this rom.

Now my only thing is the superuser vs supersu. I cannot delete system apps with the koush version, not sure why that is... Flashing back to supersu fixes that, so no problems there. Thanks again dan for this!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
This rom has optimized dalvik for qualcom processors, so there is no huge difference.

It is a run time for android that is slightly better and faster than dalvik that was introduced in android 4.4 but it still has some bugs with all these mods.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justda:
ART is android run time. It is a faster way to read and process apps. It is a built in function of 4.4.2 and this ROM. It is like the competitor of dalvic cache.

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

I knew about it being optimized but I hadn't seen anyone else mention the Xposed and ART not working together so I figured I would mention it. I have read that an optimized dalvic is actually faster than ART at the moment anyway. I am sure ART will out pace dalvic in the future but not today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Yeah if you search people keep trying to switch to ART without uninstalling Xposed. It's been a common problem in the AOSP threads.

Apparently Xposed might never be able to run on ART which would kind of suck since dalvik might be totally gone in a couple years. Xposed was supposed to be our answer to blown qfuse bootloaders since you only need root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
That's not accurate, at least from my experience . I have been using Art from the start, 4 updates with no problems. I have been using Xposed all along.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] egore93:
OK new to this ART thing. So how do you know its working? Plus how do you install it or is it baked in the rom?

Edit: Okay just googled it and now I am educated on ART.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justda:
Not being a smart ass here but after booting installing or updating Xposed have you checked your ART vs dalvic?

You can turn on ART in your developer menu. Is is set to dalvic as default but you won't see much if any difference between the two settings. Plus only half the aoos out there even support ART. They will run but not optimized.

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

Hey I only learned about dart a couple weeks ago learn stuff everyday it keeps your brain young.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Edit. Apparently you are correct. At least for this build. I can't get back to Art. ???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] egore93:
Good I need that then because I'm 40 and I'm finding things are harder to remember. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justda:
What were we talking about?:laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thedoman:
Art who?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
Art Vandelay...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
Importer/exporter? lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Xposed intentionally interrupts and will not let you switch to the ART libraries. The reboot goes through but the change to ART never happens.

Wonder if Cydia Substrate can be made to work? Did some brief googling and got nothing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dust.:
LOL you mean architect. Or marine biologist.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
I can assure you it's impossible to use Xposed with ART unless you've figured out something the Xposed creator and all of our other developers haven't. :p

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

Where's Cydia at right now in terms of functionality/popularity? I heard of it right when it got released for Android and then never again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ks3rv3rg:
I'll second that. Its literally impossible at this moment to use ART and xposed together. Unless of course you know something the xposed Dev doesn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
I use ART and power toggles is really the only app I need.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rhyme187:
stupid question tried searching thread but says its down at the moment so how do u apply a cm10 theme on this beautiful rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/pj8xr4xa1wxir7p/GPE.gapps.aroma.zip

Threw an aroma package together for you guys. Right now it gives the choice of a bunch of Google apps missing from this rom and enabling the navbar. If people like it I will add more options. Likely will add the needed modem.bin as an option for starters at a later date.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pkaczor:
My prior daily driver was Beans 7. I really like this ROM so far, but am wondering if there's any way to move apps to the SD card? :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
Nope . . that was removed from aosp (and thus GPe source) a long time ago. Samsung added it back to TW.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsk138:
Running 2-21 build and the only issues I've run across is GPS doesn't work at all.

GPS Status app shows it is locking on 0 satellites.

Wiped everything and clean installed again but still nothing.

Is GPS working for anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markwebb:
For once Samsung did something right? Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Yupp, on other Samsung phones this is a common problem when flashing AOSP. Most successful solution I've seen is to flash a TW ROM, get a gps lock, then flash this rom.

I know it seems like it shouldn't work since you wipe data, etc. but for some reason it apparently does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsk138:
So I assume if I Nandroid back to Hyperdrive, update GPS data, wipe and install this ROM then GPS should lock?

That is a long work around but I'm really digging this ROM so I'll give it a try. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
It should, I never had this problem on this phone but it was like a required procedure on the note 2 to get GPS on an aosp ROM. I do see it work for people on this device that have GPS issues.

Good luck

Clean install and no GPS issues for me - below is app I use to test:

issues with LTE acquisition and retention have vanished for me with new build - able to flash and nandroid with reckless abandon! - great work Danvdh !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] steveperrry:
Is there anyway to turn off the lights on the physical buttons? I looked at all the settings I could think of but couldn't seem to find it. I know how to do it in touchwiz but this is the first aosp rom I've played with. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
Great success.

Using the MK2 modem and the Feb21 release I can report a successful handoff from WiFi/Network Extender to LTE. I tested the scenario with my TW-ROM and this one and they work the same! I will continue to test tomorrow.

I am go on vacation tomorrow (skiing in Vail) so I hope the connection continues to be solid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
You need to install xposed then use gravity box to turn them off
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] steveperrry:
Thanks for the info. I'll give it a shot.

Is there a way of temporarily disabling Xposed to enable Art?
