Ok I just saw someone say GAPPS are included and then someone said they are not included. Which one is true?

If I need to flash a GAPPS is there a good inverted package?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
GApps are not included. You can install the ones you wish, from the market, or flash a package such as these, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942.

Is there a version of the dialer/people app that's not inverted? It's the only app with white text on black, and I actually like the dark text on light background from AOSP better.

I tried flashing the PA phone module, but that was a giant bucket of failure.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
I have never flashed a GAPPS package with this ROM. Technically, it has what you need. Everything that is NOT available on the Play Store (Google Services, Play Services, Play Store, Camera/Gallery, etc.) is included with the ROM flash. That's not to say you cannot flash a different GAPPS package, but to say it doesn't include them is not accurate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Yes, I guess I should have said that being a GPE ROM, it just comes with the stripped down essential ones, needed to run the phone. However, and I may be wrong, I think the poster was asking about things like Gmail, Maps, etc.

If you look at the PA Gapps, "Google Stock Package", I think you'll see what I mean.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] icebear8:
Having trouble with GPS I can't get it to lock on or anything (yes its on)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Agreed. That's what sets this ROM apart from other AOSP ROMs. No separate flash needed, just like the actual GPE phone. Download the Google apps you want, skip the ones you don't.

I've noticed on LTE with Play Store, I have to cancel and re-start app downloads constantly to get them to download.

A few of my friends stated my phone keeps ringing but never ringed on my end. I called myself a few times from work and yup... never rang on my end.

Seems like everything I tried to update didn't take... Just never actually installed... Downloaded but not installed.. Rebooted and it started installing... Odd...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ecsnead69:
64% downloaded after 40 minutes?!?!?! Good grief?!?!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrw1215:
Um... So I understand the whole "phone always turns on when plugged in" thing with the GPE ROM, but does flashing that ROM do something to the phone to make that happen all the time? I decided to go back to a previous ROM, so I wiped, flashed normally, and whatnot, and now, even though I'm not on the GPE ROM anymore, the phone keeps turning back on if I plug in the charger while it's off. What gives?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
this is actually a default setting on stock roms (most roms)... go into display settings or charge settings in whatever rom you are in and see if there is a checkbox for it. Then check it and uncheck it, reboot and all should be well.

EDIT: nevermind, I misunderstood. I thought you meant the screen turning on - why turn the phone off to charge?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
Is 2/27 update worth while/running smooth? It looks like there are some solid updates, but I hate to mess with how well my current setup (2/21) is running...As the old saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it... However, it must be done, have people had success with a dirty flash?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
I think I have seen that elsewhere, maybe an old phone. Now that phones idle so well and you don't have to turn off electronics on planes anymore, I never really have a reason to turn it off. I guess I wound if I swapped batteries, but I would turn it right back on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Advanced reboot menu and muting the phone via volume slider will make it into the next build

Great ROM, screams, very fast. I'm having no issues... Suggestions would be controlling backlight of back and menu buttons. Been a long time since I used Nova. It's come a long way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrw1215:
*shrug* Personally, I tend to charge my phone overnight, and I usually turn it off at night, because it doesn't have much reason to be on if I'm asleep, yanno? Especially since it charges in another room from where my bedroom is, so even if I got a call or something, it'd be ringing in another room.

Perhaps I'm just misguided, but I always thought that leaving the phone on like that (especially if it's plugged in while on) causes more "wear and tear" on it and the battery, so I figured it's safer to turn it off to charge over night. Unless I'm wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
The only time my phone is off, is when it's rebooting. :laugh: Other than that, it's on 24/7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
It used to be like that, but phones are designed to be always on now. Processors go into deep sleep, etc. As far as the battery goes, you probably won't be using this phone by the time you "weared it out". Although it's also one of the only phones with a removable battery, so you don't really have to worry about that anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] icebear8:
I got my GPS working by flashing my TW ROM and then going into maps and getting a lock on for the GPS and then go back and restore this ROM and you should be good to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
I usually just charge my phone before bed, and leave it unplugged. Everyone has their own way that they treat their phones battery. That's what I love about this phone... $25 replacement battery if anything goes wrong a year or two from now.

Anyone know anything about this?

Make sure you enable Xposed framework first, then go into the modules and enable the Gravitybox module, then reboot.

Switching

I'm thinking about switching from Hyperdrive 13 to this - I like Hyperdrive but I've been getting a lot of reboots and random slowdowns and a few other issues.

Has anyone come over to this ROM from HD13?

Things I like: stability, speed, battery life, good wifi/4g connection, fast GPS lock.

.... hopefully okay ok ask this here but I apologize if not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Are you using SafeStrap to run Hyperdrive? If so, you are out of luck on this one. It is AOSP-based, and thus, will not work with SafeStrap.

If you have an original MDK bootloader S4, and are flashing with TWRP, CWM, etc, then the answers to your questions...

1. Stability - It is ported from a dump from the official Google Play Edition S4, and stable as possible. Data is the only adjustment, since it was taken from an international phone, but those problems are well behind us.

2. Battery - Amazing. I regularly pull 4 hours of screen time with around 20% to spare. I charge every night, so I haven't drained dead, but battery is no concern with this ROM.

3. Speed - It's one of the lightest, fastest S4 ROMs. Even with Gravity Box and XBlast Xposed modules, it flies!

4. Radios - No issues here

Open Xposed Installer

Reboot

Open Xposed Installer

Tap Modules, tap the box next to gravitybox, reboot phone.

you can now open gravity box from the app drawer :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Seijin:
Pretty sure I'm on MDK. I got the phone when it first came out and rooted it shortly after. However, where do I go to check to make sure? I am using CWM.

Looks like I'll have to backup and try it out. I'm kind of sad because HD10 was awesome and I could go a full 24 hours before having to plug it in. Granted, I wasn't on it constantly during that time but, still.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sailrace:
At the bottom of your app drawer, there should be an icon for Xposed Installer.

Click on it.

You'll have a list (Framework, Modules, Download, Settings, Logs and Abour)

Select Framework, and if you haven't yet, select Install / Update.

Reboot if necessary.

Then Select Modules from the list. You should see GravityBox as the only one listed (unless you've downloaded other modules). Make sure the checkbox is checked. Then reboot again.

Now gravity box should be running. And you can select it from your app drawer and have fun with all the customizations.

I came from HD RLS14. Loved the speed and usability of it. But i've been using this rom for about 2 weeks now....it doesn't even compare.

Speed, stability, battery life, customizations.....this ROM absolutely rocks. I don't think you'll be disappointed at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Yeah, sounds like you're good to go. Just make a NANDROID of your HD setup, and if you don't like the GE, you can restore. Some people prefer TouchWiz - especially the camera. But AOSP just looks and feels better, IMO. The GE camera performs just as well as the TW cam, and you can always grab a 3rd party cam if you want more features, I use Camera360 on occasion, and it's pretty nice.

Superuser not granting root access

Hey folks! Great ROM, but I am one of those who are having issues with Superuser not granting root access even with clean flashes...I've clean flashed, dirty flashed over clean, installed SuperSU then downloaded Superuser from the play store to restore...nada. Xposed installer won't load install the app_process modules. Root Explorer won't grant root r/w, etc.

I have tried not starting the google/gmail restore and immediately trying to load/activate Xposed Installer.

I have a developer's edition S4 (what a joke) running Baseband I545OYUAMDK and have installed I545OYUEMK2_modem.zip.

OH, I'm flashing with PhilZ Touch 5 recovery based upon CWM 6.0.3.3

Phone runs great with everything that does not require root. I've only had one instance where the phone switched off of Verizon LTE where I had to dirty flash to get back a cellular signal.

Thoughts?

One other question...has anybody been able to modify the power button to use the four-way (or more) boot options?

Thanks!

This is a great ROM, you'll like it alot! However if you are having reeboot troubles with HD 13 why don't you update to Rls. 14, its much more stable.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
yes you can only use TW features on TW roms. This is AOSP, so no TW features. Many can be replaced with 3rd party apps if you search around.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
The only thing I really miss from TW is the email app and the ability to hover for a preview. The camera is fine...the recommendation to use snap camera is spot on. For me at least, everything else is better. But I think Vanir is better and beans is better, too. I just didn't really use any of the motion and image sensing stuff...it doesn't really work. If I held the phone just right smart stay would work in bright light. Smart scroll pretty much never works right.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gt5oh:
I agree somewhat. smart stay always works for me. The other features are hit or miss.

Is there an app that does what smart stay does and can someone tell me if this ROM has a boot menu to get into recovery ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Yes, it can be enabled with either Gravity Box, or Xblast.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sherdog16:
Smart stay is a gimmick that one needs to get past. imo of course. Set your timeout to 2 minutes and it'll never go off on you in use. I can't think of any COMMON USE scenario where smart stay would come in handy. We all turn our phones off before we put em away ya know? Plus it's just added unnecessary cpu cycles that slows things down and uses battery. One would assume anyway...

Edit: with that said, different strokes for different folks. I bet if you Google around you'll find an app.

Oh and kit kat kills flash player... :(

Oh and about to update to latest version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stein5830:
Yup, on TWRP when you wipe system you are performing a factory reset. Also I redid it but I also wiped Data and that did not work either... I was able to flash back to CM10.2 so I have a working phone for the moment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
I don't believe that is correct. If you are in the Advanced Wipe screen, and you don't select Data, it doesn't get wiped. Wiping System just wipes the System partition. Dirty flashing (leaving data intact) will likely cause issues when coming from CM, especially from Jelly Bean to KitKat. My wipe process goes Advanced Wipe > Boot, System, Data, Cache, Dalvik. I've never run into that type of issue. This ROM flashes a kernel as well, but you could try manually flashing KT's latest GE 4.4 kernel after the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] krypto1300:
Forgot about that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
you can flash the flash.zip (i took mine from hyperdrive) in recovery and it will work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stein5830:
While you may be correct, I still went through the "Advanced Wipe screen" and selected Data on the second try. What version of TWRP are you running that you see "boot" as an option (I don't see it).
