Philz..

Clean wipe and install from Philz (6.41.6 I think..)

Philz has it's own loki-doki in it..

Install went fine (no knox/triange..)

Tried to install Xposed (apk) went fine, but the actual "writing to /system" kept failing..

permissions was the complaint.. adb shell; looked like all was fine.

Needed to reboot again into recovery (philz) and did a chown on everything that I could..

/sdcard, /storage/sdcard1 (extSdCard), /mnt/legacy/ to chown -R media_rw:media_rw

The UID shows as 1028, but init.jgedlte.rc shows it should be 1023..

ALSO,

Google Camera or any camera.. GPE only sees local storage..

Still need the Xposed "Pictures2SD" (sp?) module to get it to (force) save to extSdCard right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Yeah so update your recovery... we're on twrp 2.7.x now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
Thanks. What is the best way to do that? I honestly can't remember how I first installed a recovery, it has been so long...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
easy as installing this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager

install open recovery script and it will update you to the latest mate
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
Perfect! I want to try a clean install, but my only concern is Google Play Music. I have the max number of devices activated, and I believe there is a limit to the number of devices you can deactivate in a year. I have deactivated a few times this year and don't want to run out and be stuck without streaming.

So 2 questions:

1. Is the above information accurate?

1a. If it is, does wiping data and cache (Factory Reset) make the phone appear as a new device to Google play?

Also, it isn't much, but I wanted to say thank you for all your hard work!

Confirmation number: 0W786593S37390108.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
KT's kernel makes a symlink to the external card at /extSdCard. This more stock kernel does not. Snap camera sees it fine for me, but I run a script on boot to make that simlink.

#!/system/bin/sh

mount -o remount,rw /

ln -s /storage/extSdCard /extSdCard

mount -o remount,ro /

EDIT:

Also, even though I dirty flashed, I still had to re-install xposed. It gave me a warning, but it installed OK.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mystique:
Settings, performance; causes an fc in settings. Maybe just me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amoeller:
It does the same thing for me. I believe it force closes because the KTweeker app that it used to be going to is gone now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Just wanted to say that everything seems to be working fine...I have:

Made a buetooth call

Made a regular call

Streamed bluethooth to my car

Sent texts

Received texts

Used NFC (just got a new zerolemon 3000...wanted to see of my nfc/qi combo insert worked...it does but MAN its a tight fit, lol)

Used wifi

Used LTE

Rebooted a few times

No issues yet. I guess I have not been in a low service area (I rarely am...I think we may have VZW repeaters at work on the campus. VZW is our corporate provider and the signal there is always balls to the wall. And my commute is almost all highway. And I live in a big metro.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Fix incoming. Just a tiny patch to flash.

REMOVE PERFORMANCE OPTION IN SETTINGS THAT FC'S ( if you use ktoonsez's main kernel from his posts go ahead and ignore this post as you're performance option in settings will work perfectly as you have ktweaker installed)

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358537455 - flash this in recovery, reboot and whatever you do don't "fix root"

will merge this into the build and reupload, no need to flash the "new" build if your on todays release already, this is the only change

sorry guys, sucks I can't test these cdma builds before I release
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amoeller:
In the new build is the kernel going to be properly lokied also?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
nah I have no idea how to do that, it's some hash edit that KT would have to do, there is no "proper" way to loki it, you either get a recovery that does it automaticly or just flash the patch

blame verizon, not me, I have not much experience with loki because I'm on a fully unlocked bootloader device (not to rub it in, it's just truth)

actually I got a better Idea

Blame [MENTION=4600715]sbreen94[/MENTION] he's the one that told me I loki'd the kernel right, it's all his fault
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amoeller:
Is the new kernel that is bundled with the 5-23 build the same as http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407582478 from your AT&T GPE rom page?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Lol Scott's sabotaging your rom right before he's about to put out his next release :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
yeah about that, he keeps messaging me on hangouts to decompile an APK for him and send him the contents so he can make changes ( I have to proof his changes otherwise its force close city) and then he sends the contents back and I recompile because he doesn't know how

baby steps

correct! same kernel mate
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
#trollcity haha :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
are you even listening to the instructions I'm giving you on hangouts?

open cmd prompt

type

apktool d c:/settings.apk -o e:/danisthebestteacherever

make changes

then type

apktool b e:/danisthebestteacherever

voila, now simply copy the original meta-inf and android.manifest to the new APK
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amoeller:
Just out of curiosity, is the 5-23 build zip signed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
yes, by Samsung, its an official build. just modified and tweaked for verizon CDMA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Just flashed with no problems. Is the ROM compatible with Samsung gear? Where can I DL the Samsung apps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] halloween240:
Thanks for the update, looking forward to trying this out

Sent from my Galaxy S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tsukasa Buddha:
Tried this twice, it is still there and FCs. And I definitely didn't hit "fix root" :p .

My solution is to stop hitting it :D .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tsukasa Buddha:
Has anyone else had casting app issues? For LocalCast and AllCast I keep getting the vibrate, then three vibrates that happen when something is breaking, even browsing the apps without casting anything. It is odd. LocalCast ends up breaking a few seconds into a video, but that might be the app as AllCast casts fine, albeit with lots of vibrating.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
I'll address this in the AM. I've been working hard last few days and my body is giving out on me. Parents are in their sixties and I have to take care of them even if it means 80 hours a week working. My apologies for missing this small detail Verizon.

Cheers guys. I'll be back in the thread after some much needed sleep
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Take your time! IRL first! ☺
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rajones19:
Great job on this release. The only issue I am seeing is the magnetic compass is now 180 degrees off. This is not a reflection on the dev. It is a common problem with ALL the AOSP ROMs for the S4, including CyanogenMod and all its variants, and is the main reason I've stuck with this ROM. The 3/29 version was the only non-TW ROM I've found with a functional compass. From what they are saying on the CM forums, Samsung has made this really difficult, and a fix is impossible without blobs or drivers or something from Samsung. Hoping this somehow is sorted out when 4.4.3 drops.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mystique:
Waned to share this app in case someone else wanted it..

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom

Camera app which works on KitKat allowing the save path to be edited..

I think it was part of one of those play store deals for a dime or something..

Also does dated save paths..

Neat.

YMMV
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
It works OK for me. Using this app: Smart Compass

I did the figure 8 calibration per the app's instructions and bam, north is where north should be.

And to be complete, it did not work when I was running Carbon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rajones19:
Thanks for the input. I had calibrated several different ways, using Smart Compass' instructions, and also GPS Status, without success - So restored back to 3/29. I am definitely up to reflash and try again. It is something I really wish "they" could straighten out - as I mentioned, and you concurred re: Carbon, the compass seems to be a huge problem on this device. I only use it for some astronomy apps, but without the compass, you are pretty well screwed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
It really shouldn't matter, but try dirty flashing. I think sometimes the various pieces of hardware retain configuration beyond just wiping system on the main EMMC. Example is the GPS fix using a TW ROM (or Sense ROM on an HTC device). Might be a configuration in the hardware that sticks. Or it is on the ETS partition or something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rajones19:
I think sometimes that is exactly it. I have never suffered GPS problems, but I even tried that TW GPS fix hoping it would fix the compass, but of course it didn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rae2u_112:
I'm on stock Verizon...unrooted....Android 4.4.2 (NC5). Am I able to do a first-time root ever TO this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
No. You can get root but need to use safestrap to flash custom tw roms only.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tsukasa Buddha:
I've tried calibrating with both GPS Status &Toolbox and Smart Compass and the compass is still wonky. Very common issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] radpp16:
So far running smooth. Does OP have a Paypal donate link?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordunknown:
Anyone else having issues with their dialer app? Mine won't appear when people call me or I make calls. I'm on a clean flash of 5-23.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
clean your proximity sensor, search my thread but

compressed air usually does the trick
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jalh:
5/13 build seems to have the best battery life so far. Excellent build guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tsukasa Buddha:
I've been getting some "phone has stopped" errors right after the phone starts. Here are logs I tried making right after they happened with SysLog.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mystique:
Only time I've had that happen, (I've not looked at your logs..) is when I've accidentally tapped the LTE toggle button, which set the phone to wcdma.. and basically fscks the phone till you reboot it..

My .02
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Are you running the MK2 modem or stock MDK?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
MK2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
What is the difference between the two? I have stuck with the original b/c I have had no problems with them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] natec003:
I had this issue yesterday, but with vanir. I did a factory reset, then flashed a rooted stock lokid touch wiz rom. It linked up to 4g right away. Rebooted to recovery and restored my nandroid. Worked out perfectly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
MK2 is the latest. Doesn't always mean it's the best. Some modems work better for some people than others. You can flash different ones, and see which one works best for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
I fixed everything!!!!

no stupid method to enable LTE anymore, you can do it right from Settings now ;)

this is a full CDMA rom now, google made it to easy I wouldn't even call it a port

<bool name="config_show_cdma">true</bool>

was the fix, the value was false before ;)

confirmed by 2 testers we have a fix ;) the apps needed to get LTE can be removed from next build
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Good to hear. I'm sure this will bring more users. Thanks for all the hard work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blastthenoise:
I don't suppose this string is something those of us with root, adb and a text editor could go and pull and change ourselves is it? I'd love to be able to fix it and not re-download and flash a full rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
Awesome. Can't wait. I had a hard time today and wish I could have stayed with it. I'm sure it was partly my fault
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattwood2000:
Nice work on this ROM!!! Just got it up and running and wow is it quick! I'm not sure if its possible but would the stock Samsung Calendar app run on this? I use this phone for work and I really do like the Samsung calendar app over the stock Google app. I see you got the WatchOn app for this build, is there a trick to get the caldendar app to work? I tried pulling it from my 4.3 build but got no_certs as an error when trying to install it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
I didn't want to comment, in the other thread that we're active in, because I didn't want to hijack the thread, but I think you're going to love this ROM. Like yourself, I've tried many of them, and I haven't come across one as responsive, fast, and smooth as this one. Like I commented earlier, I don't see myself leaving this ROM for some time to come.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
That's amazing news. Does this also fix the Carrier Label name in the status bar, or is gravity box still required for this

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

Did you try copying it to /system/app with a root file manager?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
Will you be able to make a patch zip so we dont have to reinstall the rom all over again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shaftamle:
Awesome! Thanks guys! Can't wait to try it!!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] glicholas:
Just wanted to mention that everything is working great for me. I haven't had a ton of use yet, but I haven't had any of that LTE/3G issues people were having and I wanted to put in my experience in case it's scaring some people away. I'm very pleased.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
I thought I'd wake up to an update today and I'm almost glad I didn't as I can't do any flashing until tonight and I'm super anxious to try this again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Pretty amazing, I got nearly 4hrs of screen time through the rest of yesterday after flashing the update in the morning. For those that use KTweaker, I like Project Icarus profile with no script, and usually run the performance version. ROM performance is quite nice. I really like running ART, but the Gravity Box tweaks are too nice to give up. Tested a few camera shots, and things work as expected. It's nice having HDR back after running a few AOSP/CM ROMs lately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Anybody figure out a way to get FB contacts to sync with phone contacts? I tried flashing the CM11.FBsyncEnable zip, and it did add FB to my accounts, and it shows that it's syncing, but it's not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
Well I guess I fell victim to user error. Can't get LTE to save my life

Literally, 10 seconds after sending this LTE showed up after 10 hours lol. Great freaking ROM! Thanks devs!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tsukasa Buddha:
Hm, I have Preferred network type on LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA and APN is LTE - Verizon Internet.

Found this in the OP:

Under "Installation instructions". Who would look there :p ? I think I just saw I was getting LTE and assumed it was all working. I will try this.

So for brightness, how are the max and min manual vs max and min auto with the included kernel? I know for stock TW the max auto is brighter than max manual.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mystique:
Tbh, I am a lux user.. it seems to do a decent predictable job of tuning the screen.

Every rom can't be perfect for everyone.. Again, it's not perfect but rather consistent from Rom to Rom and device to device..

YMMV

I purchased the paid version a while back.. was pleased with the free.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
At any rate, the problem seems specific to me because it only happens after i restore other apps.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
I use gravity box's auto brightness adjustment. It works similarly to the cm version. I think if you crank it, then on auto it goes full bright. I have always thought every stock auto brightness is too dim most of the time. Not really answering your question, but you can play with it to see if you get satisfactory results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
thanks for the feedback :) im working on an update for that now, I've found a threshold that will not drain but produce nice stock results, that and the fix for the "performance" button coming next

users on the latest won't have to flash a full ROM as I will supply a patch
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sailrace:
I have a very unrelated question.... How easy or difficult would it be to port this to a Galaxy TabPro 8.4?

I would love a GPE ROM for this tablet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
it's not possible mate, totally different CPU's

80 hour weeks. Will be addressed this afternoon. Trying to support an entire family + release ROMs. Bare with me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Schwabie64:
Thanks for all your hard work man. I'm new to this rom and loving it :). Only problem I've had is with folder mount. I've been testing out some other apps too so hopefully something will work. Other than that everything looks great, and is incredibly snappy. Again thanks for all your hard work :).

Edit - Also having trouble with gps not working. I'll check the thread for a fix when I get off work.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Oh so you're one of those guys who puts their livelihood and family before strangers on the Internet?

:) thanks for all your work dan. All my years on Verizon and I never saw a developer from Canada with such stable development. OK well I've probable never seen a Canadian developer around these parts but regardless it's a fact that amazes me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
Can anyone with the latest build confirm that the kernel version shows 3.4.0-g22842f5 by ktoonsez?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsdubai:
Yes it does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
Thanks!

I flashed just the new kernel over the last build and it runs excellent.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brw9100:
Take your time man. The small bugs found so far aren't show stoppers and you have to take care of your own. I, and hopefully WE, can wait!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
What issues are you having with foldermount? I have it working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
rom is ready for upload but I got a job interview at 2 pm and I'm having connection issues, tonight ok guys?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amoeller:
Tonight is just fine. You're doing a great job on this rom. I've been using it as my daily driver for about a month and found almost no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Schwabie64:
I can transfer data files, but not the obb files. I've tried transferring Asphalt 8 and Bards Tale.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Try doing the whole android folder. I think it works best with top level directories.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Schwabie64:
Good luck with the interview!!

I'm not sure what you mean by that? Move the entire Android folder from the internal storage to external through ES File Manager? Or is there a way to do that through Folder Mount? Thanks for your time :]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Use foldermount to pair the Android folder in the internal card to the extends card. The android folder contains data and obb. You will have to go into settings and turn off destination folder checks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Schwabie64:
Thanks a bunch! I didn't realize you could specify the folder you wanted mounted. Guess I should have read the instructions :P.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamjerry123:
So from what it looks like, there is no fix for the people whose GPS is messed up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
It's been answered a few times and maybe should be added to the install instructions or the FAQ.

Make a Nandroid backup, install a TW ROM, get a GPS lock, then reboot into Recovery and flash this ROM or restore your Nandroid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] radpp16:
Bought you a beer! You deserve it. Keep those donations going for my daily driver!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] znel52:
IMO this is the best ROM going for the s4. Performance is second to none. Amazing work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
stupid connection..... giving it until midnight and if it doesn't come back i'll use my LTE to upload

even better, you bought me and the family some food for the fridge!!! thanks man!!! you are awesome
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
Has anyone else's battery really bit the dust lately? When I first started running this ROM (which is awesome by the way!) I would get nearly two days of use. Now with the same usage, I am lucky to get through the day on a full charge. A day is still good, but I am averaging about 5% battery drain an hour, even when sleeping. I have wiped cache, uninstalled unwanted apps, and tried to reduce Google Services usage as much as possible. I have not changed any settings/configurations since the initial setup.

I am thinking that Google Services is the culprit. As great as Google Now is, I feel like my phone is constantly doing things to check in with location and trying to serve me up stuff I may want to know. Is anyone else having similar issues? On the latest update with the default kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamjerry123:
I'm sorry but how do I get a "GPS" lock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
uploading the newest now, 40% done

if you are not locking, flash a touchwiz ROM and get a lock, then factory reset in recovery (do not do a pointless "superwipe" by wiping all partitions a million times) and flash this ROM. search the thread if you need more directions then what I've given, I've never seen this issue myself but others have and successfully solved it, it's a device issue, not a ROM issue

edit: just lock on to your location with google maps, try navigating somewhere and once the phone locates your EXACT location that would be what you call a "Gps lock"

sorry for not reading your question
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Update in the OP!

too tired to copy + paste changelog, check it out in the OP

have fun!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amoeller:
I'm not sure if this is supposed to be like this, but in the zip there is a boot.img for the kernel but the updater-script says boot.lok. If I'm not mistaken, wouldn't that not flash the kernel because of the updater script?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
you gotta be kidding me....

i effing hate this loki crap
