2.5.0.2, which is what I've run since the beginning. There were issues with all updates until recently, and I never saw a need to update. 2.5.0.2 is completely stable, and never failed a flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
agreed, same here... I always "slide to factory reset" on the screen before advanced wipe as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Just a heads up, I've performed a few soft reboots after enabling XBlast tweaks, and am losing the APN. I only noticed it after leaving work/home and dropping wifi, but the soft reboots are the common thread. I hadn't lost the LTE ever until installing XBlast and soft rebooting. I can't say that's the cause with certainty, but I'm going to full reboot when needed now (which I usually do anyway.) Anybody soft reboot and have no issues with LTE after?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] -Michael_:
Yes! Me! Soft reboots yesterday; turned into my phone not wanting to come out of sleep and me missing my alarms this morning. Had to pull the battery - even adb didn't see the device (it's a b word to pull my case so I usually do a adb reboot) . I didn't have xblast installed but I had changed a bunch of stuff in gravitybox. I disabled gravitybox and the environment is stable and running like a boss again.

Edit - and my apns went completely wonky, at one point I couldn't get an app to stick. After disabling the gravitybox module it's fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
APNs will stick fine if you enable Airplane Mode first. I've always run GravityBox with this ROM without trouble, but I never soft reboot. I installed XBlast, and decided to soft reboot after a couple mods. Again, I can't guarantee that's what's causing the APN drop, but that's what I'm going with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
No problems here, with either Gravity Box, or Xblast, but I haven't done any soft reboots, either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
ROM isn't even "Vanilla" Google Edition anymore. It's just Google Edition with lame mods and features. Biggest thing is this new battery % which is ugly. Earlier versions when Data wasn't working were better :rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
I think that's why. I'm keeping both modules active, and will watch it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
Not a real constructive post. If you don't like the direction its going, no one is forcing you to run it. No need to bash it because you don't like it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Make your own ROM then. Your lucky I even take the time to support Verizon. I guess you can go back to using touchwiz

Cya ;)

No [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION], we're lucky. Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] johnfoam:
I think I can speak for 99% of us - we're thrilled to have this ROM and having you share it with us! Thank you again for all of your work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
While i hope no ill was meant, this (and any others like it) add no value to threads like this. We are lucky to have the devs we have, and the last thing we need to be doing is putting down their efforts. If you are unhappy, i would advise any upset user to try any one of the other ROMs available...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] -Michael_:
To hell with that guy, I'm happy to be using this rom. And happy you and the others to the time to work on it

Even we setting with airplane on, they wouldn't stick. 8 hours + with no problems after removing the xposed framework. I'm sure it's some setting that didn't agree. Who knows. ...

Gave me an excuse to try ART - btw is running good:thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Agree with both comments. Like Art, wish that I can use it with Xposed. :sly:

I was on Sbreen's Hyperdrive Rom and decided to give this a try since his name is attached to it. It is FREAKING AWESOME!!! No loss of accounts, great battery, smooth, bugless, and did I mention it is FREAKING AWESOME!!! Thank you guys. The only thing I would like to see is a brightness bar with the -5/+5 on it like on Hyperdrive with Wanam but I believe that is a Touchwiz thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
That dude complaining is the same schmuck that was complaining to Sbreen in the Hyperdrive thread about not getting an update everyday, a while back. Dude should lose his privilege of using XDA.. ridiculous
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] igotgame:
While that dudes complaining, I'm eagerly awaiting the next update :)

Anyone else notice the battery stats seem to be way off? Like mine says the screen has been on 8 minutes when is really be on like 45-55 minutes.

Sent from my Galaxy Note 3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
you just flashed or did a reboot, allow the kernel to settle a bit and on your next full charge battery stats will look normal

this has happened to me since 4.1.2 on my s3 lol

Fresh wipe + install ROM then a reboot when unplugged throws off the stats
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Which instructions are you following?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:
Alright. So i got it to boot, now I just need to find out how to get LTE to work.

Nvm thought u were someone new to the ROM asking how to install. Seems like that guy got it to work :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
All good :D your helping others
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Here are a few steps to try. They are a little different than the OP, but they still do the same things.

1. In recovery, factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and flash ROM, then kernel. Reboot. After the ROM boots, let it sit for five minutes.

2. Go to System settings/more/mobile networks/Preferred network type and let the phone automatically select, Global. Do not select a network!

3. Back out to home screen, and go to apps and select APN shortcut app, and select your APN. (Either LTE-Verizon IMS, or LTE-Verizon Internet) You can always change these later.

4. Back to apps and select Phoneinfo app. Scroll down, and hit box to turn off radio, then right above that, change mode to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL), then hit box to turn radio back on, back out to homescreen, and that should be it.

If, along the way, you get com.android.phone has stopped working messages, just keep clicking OK. Once the radios are working, it should stop giving you this error.

I don't know if this will work for everyone, but they are the steps I followed (props to [MENTION=4304370]jds3118[/MENTION]), and the ROM is working flawlessly for me. Good luck! I hope it helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sygnous:
Tepifan's procedure worked for me. I tried flashing just once and got all kinds of core dumps. Booted into the ROM, went to the APN shortcut, selected the bottom option, then went into the Phone Info and made the change as directed in the OP. I have LTE, even after reboots. This ROM is FAST!!!

I love me some HyperDrive. Been running since RLS9, but I don't use any of the touchwiz stuffs. Also, I wanted the stock email client for Exchange, cause the Samsung email, while it works, is horribly outdated, UI wise.

Did I mention this ROM is fast! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] natec003:
OK, forgive my nubeness... Flashed this rom, got it to boot and was working on getting lte to work. I was unsuccessful (3g worked) . Now, I have restored my backup of vanir rom but only am getting 3g. I've never really messed with apns and the like, although I've been flashing since my thunderbolt. I guess my question is, if I am changing apns on one rom do they carry over to another? Or is it just a strike of bad luck that I'm not getting lte in my area right now? Again, sorry if this is a bad question. I tend to be a lurker/reader
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
This ROM is blazing fast. Break me off a piece of that Kitkat bar. ;)

LTE doesn't always come in right away. For me it took a few hours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sygnous:
I rebooted a few more times, and I did have to redo the radio stuff, but just rebooted a few more times and it comes back. Sometimes it says com.android.phone force closes. Minor things for me, as I don't reboot often. Maybe something that can get fixed later?

Either way, I'm stuck on this one :)

Just opened up the camera and it started updating the firmware. Scared the crap outta me, but it completely successfully it looks. Just be prepared for that, lol...

So if I switched back to another rom I'll just have to be patient, and don't have to worry too much? Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
If you switch back to another ROM, I would go into network settings, and select the proper network. Can't say for sure, as I haven't gone back to another ROM since installing this one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Going to have another look at this build tonight. I think I can fix the flashing issue with a script update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordunknown:
I tried flashing the ROM with philZ's recovery, but that didn't help. I still get "Type password to decrypt storage" when I boot up after flashing, but I have not encrypted my storage. I do not know what else to try.

It looks like it is an issue with mounting data after reading this thread. I might try to install the default recovery with Odin then try to install this ROM after.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Would you be able to post your Kernel Settings for us here as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daniel4653:
Sweet. I'm going to try this on Sprint in a bit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
Would it be possible to use Tasker to make a script so whenever the phone boots, it turns the radio off then back on, and changes the APN? Have this set to execute every boot. Not sure how complex the scripting in Tasker is, but just an idea.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sygnous:
For some reason, I can't sync Exchange calendars at all. Tried with Google Calendar, DigiCal, and Touchdown. Can't get calendars at all.

Any thoughts on this? I need my calendar. I can deal without Exchange email, mostly, but absolutely must have my calendar :(

Edit : Sorry, that was kinda misleading. Exchange email is working fine, it's just the calendar that I can't sync. It says it has synced, but no data, and it doesn't list any calendars to choose to sync.

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------

As is with every time I post something that doesn't work... It started working. Weird.

Hmm, seems Touchdown is syncing the calendar fine, which populates DigiCal. I can deal with that for now, but native Exchange calendar sync isn't working...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daniel4653:
Forget that idea. Ktoonz doesn't have a 4.4 GE kernel for the Sprint GS4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:
So I just noticed a weird bug. My time on my status bar is not correct. Its actually around 8PM where I live.

EDIT: It seems that if you have your APN set to the last option it messes with the time zone. Switched to another APN and all is good now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Check time and date in system settings

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
I, too, lost LTE (actually lost all data) and like others, pretty sure I did a soft reboot and I am trying xblast for the notifications (probably like everyone else which is why this is cropping up now). I did the go to airplane mode, select APN, go out of airplane mode trick and got LTE back. Little advice here...be patient with the switch to airplane mode...it takes a little longer than it seems to get full airplane mode...don't just wait for the toggle to switch. i have tried switching airplane mode on from the quick tiles while on the apn selection screen and did not wait enough and it didn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:
Eagerly waiting for the next update. I heard Ktoonz has a little surprise for us in the next update.

And battery life on this ROM is pretty good so far. Love it.

Wow! Debbie Downer yesterday, and Negative Nancy, today. :rolleyes: I still say this is the best ROM out there. :good:

I've also never understood why people have to announce that they are leaving a ROM, or a phone. Who cares? Just go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
Is this the right place to announce I'm leaving my wife? LMFAO!!!!!!

People are strange, that's for sure.

Anyway, I'm still on this since, I think 2/15 or 18.

As I've said previously, I've dirty flashed every update since my initial clean flash without issue.

Every day I think today is the day I'm going to try something else, but just never get to it.

This rom is great! I hate effing vanilla, I'm a chocolate kind of guy.

It's been so long since I've done a clean flash, I think when the update hits, I'll finally wipe and flash it clean.

I hope I remember how:D

Anyway, that's it for me.

Thanks to all that are involved in the development of this and all roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Agreed, everyone "wants" vanilla Android...until they realize what that means, and how heavily customized some of the AOSP-based ROMs really are. It took me a long time to realize that multiple lockscreen targets were a CM feature, and that vanilla Android just features the unlock icon to the right of the ring. Why the ring then? In that instance, the TW lockscreen is superior, but when you add targets and custom lockrings, it creates a nice experience and look.

This ROM really can't get much more vanilla. It's an amazing GPE base that people are customizing using Xposed modules. Leave out Gravity Box and others, and there are very few UI customizations. If you don't want the customization or extra features, don't install Xposed - the ROM only comes with the installer and Gravity Box (it's not pre-setup.)

I'm all about simplicity, but really enjoy making my phone look unique to my tastes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] igotgame:
Glad to see inverted MMS may be making a return...All that white is too bright and just uses more battery (albeit probably not much more)

I use Chomp SMS, it can be customized eight ways from Sunday. ;) I love the inverted look. I use a black wallpaper, with all sorts of inverted apps. Looks great and saves battery. I also installed the spinning Android Kitkat logo, with black background, boot animation found here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2529277. I love it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] -Michael_:
I've been using this one on all my 4.4.2 ROMs. I think I got it from the nexus forums but not sure. This Isn't my work. It's a true 4.4 fully themed (light or dark) with a bunch of options including quick pop up, softbank emoji all that good stuff . Drop it into system/priv-app and fix permissions. Reboot and victory.

Really liking this rom, thanks for your hard work Dan.

Which xposed modules are you all using? I'm running gravity box, xui mod for the battery bar and nice animations, and hk theme manager to use cm11 themes. Xblast was pretty good but I ran into some compatibility issues and uninstalled it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Gravity Box, Xblast, and Pictures2SD take care of all my needs.

the kernel in the ktoonsez's OP is not the one we are going to be using, he has some minor edits to make so when he compiles I'll get it from him on hangouts and integrate into the ROM, build and upload, he will then update his OP

stay tuned

KT is tweaking some things still and he will have a release soon, for now I'm shipping the ROM with the 02/24 kernel which was proven rock stable and amazing, he will have a build most likely tomorrow but if not soon after :), feel free to flash that overtop of the ROM at a later date or just stay put
