Enable developer options the normal way, and use a logcat app to get a logcat of your apps failing so we can see what the problem is

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

The rom includes and is built on ktoonsez international kernel from what I understand, so you need the Loki doki zip to be able to bypass the boot loader and modify your kernel. Obviously kernels already made for our devices such as ktoonsez Verizon kernels include the Loki exploit.

Haven't been on my s4 for awhile but donation coming with my paycheck tomorrow. Having other devices and seeing rom developers from various manufacturers devices, I can easily say you're one of the best Dan.

Is there a way to change the colors of the pull down quick settings toggles?

I've looked in xposed but I couldn't find anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tsukasa Buddha:
For the new boot. for me after "android" fades, it comes back and the left half rapidly fades and comes back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Monkeyzzzzz:
forgot loki-doki?

Came Hyperdrive back to my favorite the GPE! love your rom!

Full Wipe! Install! Loki. Roms running well!

Uninstalled a system app in TB so I could replace with modded apk. But even after the uninstall, couldn't reinstall modded (acted as if was still installed and denied my upgrade signature mismatch). Couldn't immediately restore because my wipe, wiped my downloads on the internal SD where the rom.zip was. long story short.... took me a while to get the rom back on the sd card for flashing (various reasons) flashed dirty, (just wanted to restore the system files) didn't think loki was necessary.... WRONG.... initial boot upscreen still shows unlocked , but wont boot to system or recovery, just yellow triangle with ! in middle....Please tell me I haven't permanently lost my ability to have MDK custom recoveries?????????

Thanks for any help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
I love the one I'm using, I honestly think its the nicest boot animation available, looping is meh, all personal preference here, I'm not going to push 6 builds out for a boot animation thats for sure, I also think the pulsing represents loading much better

also keep in mind the most important thing is the lag is fixed, that was a major issue I had with the old animation, anything is better that that pile of crap

nah you're fine, you just need to loki then use triangle away, someone in this thread will me more help but don't be worried about losing you're ability to flash custom kernels, just NEVER update you're bootloader
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Monkeyzzzzz:
Thanks a lot... saved me from acting too hastily...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gahar:
Have you tried XBlast from the xposed download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
If you are doing triangle away, a few things to keep in mind:

It doesn't always do what it says it is going to do. Sometimes it will say it will reboot, and it just shuts off. If it does that on the step that says "do not use power button to reboot", don't panic, just wait 10-15 seconds to make sure its fully off and not rebooting, then power it back up.

Notice I said "if" in the first item. It does not always behave the same. Sometimes, it does it without rebooting at all. Sometimes it boots once into a special recovery mode, then to the triangle away control screen where you press volume up to reset.. Sometimes it boots twice into special recovery mode. Sometimes it boots to the splash, then reboots to special recovery. Etc. etc.

My experience is that it works fine on this ROM with stock, alucard, and KT kernels. Also works on TW ROMs with KT. Done all of them. So don't worry to much about the "stock kernel only" warning. I actually think our locked bootloader acutally protects us here since it will not allow any funny business :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bobg1231:
Same thing happened to me yesterday. Forgot to Loki Doki. Just reflashed the ROM and flashed Loki doki and booted just fine. No more yellow triangle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
Anyone know if Verizon's Network Extender device is supposed to work with this ROM? Usually only TW ROMs are compatible with it, but I thought I had seen there being some work done in this ROM in the change log a while back...trying to make it Network Extender compatible.

02/18/14 and 02/20/14 has mention of it working possibly??? That would be a first for an aosp ROM, [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION]!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
It works for calls but not for 3G data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
That doesn't really make sense. All you need it to do is work for calls/texts...cuz if you're on your VZW Network Extender, you're on your WiFi... Therefore you're aren't using your 3G/4G data, you're using your WiFi.

Anyways, I installed this ROM just now and I am thrilled to say this is the first time I've ever been able to successfully connect to my VZW Network Extender while running an AOSP ROM!!! Trust me, I've been trying for 2-3 years!! Nice work with this ROM!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Actually, it makes perfect sense. Turn off your WiFi while on the network extender and you will have no data. Do this from a TW rom and you will have data. Which is how it should work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
Nope, sorry. Mine has never worked that way...unless I have a different model than you, mine is set up so you NEED to be on your Local Network (WiFi) in order to be connected to it;) Verizon told me its a security feature...keeping other Verizon users in my building from connecting to it.

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

Does yours plug into your wireless router?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Yup, plugs into my router and I stay on the extender whether I'm connected to my wifi or not. I also get no sms if I switch from LTE to 3G while on my extender, whether I connect to wifi or not. I'm pretty sure it's because 3G connects data through the extender while LTE uses the extender only for calls/texts. And data through the extender doesn't work on this rom. When I have been on TW roms, I've always turned off LTE at home(due to weak signal) and sms worked fine. So I'm pretty sure the extender handles 3G data, but it doesn't work on this rom over 3G. And my wife has a dumb phone and it uses the extender, so the need to be connected to wifi is definitely not necessary. Go ask Verizon how it works with a dumb phone and see what they say.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamjerry123:
Hey guys,

Just wanted to say how much I love the ROM. It is the smoothest ROM that I have ever used and I am so happy with it.

Just wondering though, if I back up all my apps before doing a wipe for a new update, and I install the apps afterwards via Titanium, do I run the risk of lagging the ROM or messing something up?

-J
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
I backup with titanium then restore them after a clean flash, i dont restore apps + data though, just apps :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamjerry123:
The great Danvdh replied to my comment! :crying: Best moment of my life.

Is it unsafe to restore the data? What about text messages, settings etc.?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
I start clean ;) personally anyway
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamjerry123:
Just making sure, there aren't any downfalls to restoring apps/data?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
I've restored app data hundreds of times. The files are only accessed by the individual apps. Think about it...everything else functions without them if you don't restore them. If you have an issue it would only be with a particular app, and you could always just clear it's data. I clear gravity box most of the time, or just install a new copy because I like to change settings around and it does not have a built in restore defaults.

Just don't restore system stuff and you'll be fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
I've never had a problem. Although I like to restore just apps and then just data separately. It worked better that way on one of my old phones way back, and I have stayed with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
I do that all the time.

Install the apps from the play store then restore the data from only the apps you need, like saved games and such.

I've never had an issue doing it that way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
The highest probability of experiencing problems comes when trying to restore data from an older database structure to a newer one or vice versa. These cases are rare and are easily remedied in most instances. Worst case should just mean not being able to restore your data. You may have to uninstall and reinstall the affected apps. Call records and texts are the same; as long as the databases are the same schema everything will restore just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] HearMeWhisper:
Anyone have any problems with sound?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamjerry123:
Hey guys,

I was recently looking at the posts about the different modems and it seems like the NC5 Developer modem is the most popular. I want to flash this but I went onto the thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2487298 , and I could not seem to find which one of these is the NC5 one.

My guess is that it would be the "I545OYUFNC5_modem.zip

MD5:77df7785d197f9c5ca3f66d1b26c81bb" but I just wanted to be 100% sure.

Can someone verify for me?

Thank you!

-J

EDIT: Do I need to flash loki doki after I flash this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
That's the correct modem to flash and there's no need for Loki-doki following a modem flash. That's just required for kennels that aren't already Loki'd (patched).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
I can only use the command line binary. If I try to use one of the apps (the one by OpenVPN or OpenVPN for Android), the process keeps restarting, so Android thinks the tunnel is still there, but its not. So I lose mobile data until I reboot. I tried to kill the net.openvpn.openvpn and the OpenVPN for Android process but zygote keeps restarting them. Killing zygote is pretty much the same as a hot reboot. I do not get this behavior on a CM based 4.4.4. ROM. It also worked OK on JDS's TW port of Echoe. But this ROM simply crushes everything else into dust when it comes to performance.

As I said, I can use the command line binary. I just use tasker to launch it with the parameters I want, and use tasker to send a killall to send it a SIGTERM signal to quit. The downside is you cannot use the Android key chain to store the certificate since you are not using the Android VPN API. I may try another VPN method, but OpenVPN is pretty easy to set up on a Windows PC (which I use for my main storage space, etc.), and has a TON of info out in Google-space.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vtx67:
OpenVPN install

I use OpenVPN Installer and OpenVPN Setting. Both by Friedrich Schäuffelhut. Install both from the play store then do a manual install as follows:

To perform a manual installation you will require a root explorer such as Root Browser. Navigate to "/data/app/de.schaeuffelhut.android.openvpn.installer-1.apk/assets" and copy the file "openvpn-2.1.1-static-busyboxinsbin" to "/system/xbin". Afterwards rename the file to "openvpn" and set its permission to "rwxr-xr-x". Finally open the Openvpn Settings and it should detect the installation correctly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
That's the same binary I use. I didn't really like the settings app. I think it's easier to just use openvpn --config filenamehere --log logfilehere in a tasker script task then you have a shortcut available anywhere. I don't really change my server much, so the the config never really needs to change.

Sorry about the derail, folks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vtx67:
Correct OpenVPN install

Ok.. Thats what I had to do to get the binary installed correctly. I dont have any of the issues you have.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Neither did I using the binary. The other apps (not the one we copied the binary from) do not use an openvpn binary, they set up an openvpn tunnel via the Android vpn api. They won't disconnect right. Using the binary works, but you don't get the features of the api like using the Android keystore. Not a deal breaker, but all thus stuff is supposed to be fixed in 4.4...and it is on other roms. Not Dan's fault...this is a port so it is what it is. Just kind of odd.

I just want to say that this ROM really is amazing! In my opinion its the best out there without a doubt, I've tried them all...hyperdrive, eclipse, CM11, AOKP, gummy, PAC man and more...I keep coming back to this one. This ROM is by far the smoothest and cleanest...oh did I mention the battery life?...

I'm going share some amazing battery life results...

-4+ hours of screen time

-1.5 hours of YouTube streaming(HQ)

-1.5 hours of Netflix streaming

(Both max sound volume)

-About 1 hour of random internet browsing

-Used both WiFi and LTE

-my brightness is always at around 80%

-Googymax3 kernel

-Hibernated all apps with Greenify

- GPS, Bluetooth, LTE and WiFi were all on.

Yes I only got 8 hours total out of the battery but 4 hrs+ of screentime is impressive. Thank you Dan for this amazing ROM!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] coolsilver:
Well know the battery usage is more than it was for stock. I switched to Ktoons kernel and that helped. But what I think is causing it is the 3G modem wakelock of msm_hsic_host. I've read this has been a problem on some S4 roms for some time. There was a fix from Qualcomm about it but could always end up with it again.

Also I've noticed the brightness I'm still adjusting quite a lot even when on auto.

Seems like to me I shouldn't have to go through trouble to greenify apps and switch kernels and use my phone less than I want but sadly that is what today's phones need for battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oakley470:
Does anyone know how to get a swipe up for camera shortcut on the lockscreen like most other 4.4 roms? I realize that samsung didn't include it in this one but if anyone knows of an app or something that could do it id appreciate it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] egore93:
You can freeze (search) to stop the wake locks. How many people really use it? I don't so it's doesn't bother me to make it go away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Swipe right/left, use the camera quick settings toggle, and/or use Xposed (there are a few modules that will add the camera to the lockscreen)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamjerry123:
Can you list or SS what you Greenified? I'm really interested to see what you did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shpotik:
I hibernated every app I have besides light manager...I think the kernel is doing a lot too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] egore93:
You need better battery stats. That will tell you what's using your phone. It's a bit of a pain to install on this rom. You will need to download a module from xposed to work with it. Your light manager is a battery hog and any widgets you use also sip on the battery and anything with location. I will provide a link to better battery stats. I purchased it and it's a must have. The module is enable battery stats kitkat

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Thanks guys! Been waiting for this!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
I'll just leave this here

confirmed we now have full APN support

what was happening is the apn app was conflicting with our teleservice.apk

world mode needed to be enabled in teleservice and some arrays needed to be adjusted to give us the proper network selection

ppl losing data on other ROMs is due to there APN being changed (confusing the network) due to my incomplete teleservice and therefor needed to be changed on the other ROM (confusing the network more most likely)

this will no longer happen, LTE - Verizon Internet will give full LTE coverage
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] odub303:
Can you explain what you mean by "due to my incomplete teleservice and therefor needed to be changed on the other ROM (confusing the network more most likely)"? I cannot change anything on either cm or a fully stock MJ7 touchwiz build that gives me back LTE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
So this will be in the next update? This is making me crazy..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
I've got full lte using LTE Verizon Internet on the 2-11 build. Why does it work fine for some people like me and not at all for others? Seems so odd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
I think maybe bbecause people are too quick to post. Like they boot up the ROM and see 3G and post about them not having LTE right away
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] odub303:
Definitely not. Try reading the posts before making statements like this. The issue has even been acknowledged ffs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
Its fine until a reboot. Since then, the settings won't stick. And I can't get it back now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
It definitely was not a statement. I specifically said "I think". I don't monitor this post all day and I'm certainly not gonna read ten pages of posts if I have nothing to contribute. Next time correct me in a nicer way. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nozzleman_85:
I'm giving up on this rom. I've tried EVERYTHING that's listed on this rom post and STILL can't get LTE to connect. LTE On/Off, APN Shortcut downloaded them both to no avail. Done all the tweaking in the settings (NO APN settings to be found) and still no dice. Even tried restoring a stock AND CarbonRom nandroid and STILL nothing. Heck on CarbonRom i can only get 3G once i went from this rom to Carbon...so something is definitely wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
No! I think you have something really special here, I know our user base is small but I think once LTE is really ironed out you'll see a lot of people downloading this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
If your sill interested in trying out the ROM then wait a little. I think OP will perfect LTE. It's gone a long way since Monday
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
looks like its been perfected

test results coming in positive,

positive to release a build

10 hours straight on this Verizon, no sleep and 3 days off

I don't think i need the 3 days off ;) I just gave you google edition world phone ;)

let me make a cup of coffee and ill explain more

UPDATE IN THE OP

02/13/2014

-LATEST MK2 Modem REQUIRED!!!! - I WILL NOT SUPPORT OLD MODEMS, GSM required a MKx modem so I have no doubts Verizon will need one too, all my testing as been with users on MK2

-Full Wipe Required

-Enabled World phone in teleservice

-Unlocked all CDMA network modes (Same as CM)

-Worldwide APN support

-APN cannot be accessed via settings on CDMA (Waiting on code from google) so use the APN shortcut app provided and select LTE Verizon - Internet, then open settings an make sure LTE/CDMA/EVDO/GSM/WCDMA is selected (Which it will be because I'm awesome) and LTE should kick in just like any other ROM

-Removed CSC

-This phone is global mode unlocked, anywhere you go in the world, the foreign sim will work ;) apns-conf.xml was swapped out this build and now I can guarantee most of the world is covered

-Phone FC should be gone forever (it was almost non-existent anyway, the odd report)

-Updated build.prop

-Made 3 pots of coffee tonight

-Enjoy, all my changes have been confirmed by MULTIPLE tests

-Once again, no .jar was edited and everything has been neatly recompiled/odexed. ART will work on this ROM.

The phone will drop LTE very quick in low signal (Like basements as shown below)

Installation instructions

-Make sure you can use loki and your on the latest MK modem

-Full wipe

-Flash ROM

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

-Let phone settle for a few minutes (3g will kick in but might take a sec)

-Open the provided apn shortcut app and select LTE - Verizon Internet, LTE should kick in for good now

-All network modes can be accessed it Settings > More > mobile networks > preferred networks - With our APN above we should have LTE/CDMA/EVDO/GSM/WCDM

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AspenSTi:
In the APN app does it default back to ehrpd if you cannot get LTE? At my house most of the time I only get 3g, I'm wondering if that's why it keeps automatically going back to the ehrpd setting?

Also keep getting the phone f/c on boots not that it really matters because it works every time anyway. (On the 2/13 build, clean install)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
neither tester reported any phone FC, which recovery are you flashing with and are you on the latest mk2 modem?

it will default to whatever the network prefers, It will vary on the tower but ehrpd seems to be rolled out everywhere now,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
I just don't see how you guys are running your battery down in one day. Screen time absolutely dominates battery use. All the other stuff like kernel tweaking, task killers, greenify, is little noise ripples screen use. I only get four hours of screen time if I am working on Zooper widget or something. My normal weekdays I only get maybe an hour or two...I rarely go below 50%. I have qi chargers everywhere...nightstand, bar in the kitchen, study desk, work desk. And a charger in my car. Must be a lifestyle thing. Even on a busy work day, my phone is only away from a charger maybe 10-12 hours. I just can't see running through a whole charge from the time I leave from work until I get home. Even if I need to do a dinner or something after work, its not like I am playing Bloons TD5 while I am at dinner with work colleagues. I know some people have a less interactive job and listen to music, etc., but why not just grab a qi insert or the Samsung back, a qi charger for your desk and stop worrying about battery life?

And I would not get your hopes up for much improvement. I think most casual users can get through a day pretty easily on one charge, maybe even two if they are light users and on wifi most of the time, for pretty much any mainstream phone. There is not much incentive for improvement. Mainstream tech media hardly even comment anymore on battery life.
