I know. Verizon really made it a pain in the ass to have any fun with this phone. It looks like a simple fix as you would have to change the updater-script from package_extract_file("boot.lok", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p20"); to package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p20"); but the zip would need to be resigned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsdubai:
So what happens if I already flashed it?..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
nothing terrible, you might not boot, i'm uploading again because I want it done right, I checked everything over like four times EXCEPT that stupid boot.lok line in the updater-script it seems, It's because I use to used a preloki'd kernel but now I'm using one that needs loki doki or a auto loki recovery as the exploit isn't baked right into this one, it's more stock source with some goodies
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amoeller:
My guess would be if you where on the 5-23 build upgrading to the 5-30 build, the kernel is still installed as they are the same. You would run into problems if it was a fresh flash from a different rom or kernel.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Yes, you'll have to flash back to stock via Odin. Are you wanting to leave this amazing ROM or just curious if it's reversible?

Just wondering if it's reversible on this ROM I'll never use anything else tbh lol

ANT+ support

Thanks again for this great ROM. It's been my daily-driver for over a month now and I have NO complaints whatsoever. It's really amazing. I plan on trying the new version some time next week.

I have one question about ANT+ support in this ROM. Mainly, is there any? Samsung added ANT+ support to their S4 ROMs with version 4.3 according to this page, which seems to suggest that there's an ANT+-capable radio in the phone already.

I installed ANT+ Radio Service, ANT+ Plugins, ANT+ USB Service, and ANT+ Demo on this GPE ROM, and I'm not able to pick up my ANT+ devices in the demo.

However, when I plug in an ANT+ adapter via USB OTG, I can pick up my ANT+ devices (via the USB service of course). This suggests to me that there's some disconnect between this ROM and the S4's built-in ANT+ radio. Maybe Samsung did some crazy custom crap again with their ANT+ radio and that's why it doesn't work?

Any thoughts/suggestions? Is there something from the Samsung ROM that I can patch in to get it to work? I can't really use the USB OTG adapter in practice.

If this is in the wrong place to post this question, I apologize. I figured it was specific to this ROM. Thanks for any advice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amoeller:
I just installed the updated 5-30 build and all is well. I really appreciate all the hard work that has gone into this rom. This rom is everything that I am looking for in my S4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shpotik:
Same here! Running flawlessly!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
you are very welcome guys

as for the question about ANT+, if the nexus 5 doesn't come with it, this ROM won't either
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jarredp93:
Quick question for you guys. If we're already on the 5-23 update is it okay to dirty over to 5-30? I remember Dan talking about how users on the latest won't need a full ROM update but wasn't sure if it was okay to dirty.

And again Dan, thanks as always for all of your hard work. Its incredible and I know that we all appreciate it here at XDA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amoeller:
I dirty flashed with no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sherdog16:
I sort of dirty flashed...

Set Ktweaker to default

Made backup

Wiped everything

Flashed ROM and latest KT

Restored nandroid data only

This way your system gets a clean slate to flash to and you get your data back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rdefino:
So I loaded the latest rom and then I reboot and got a message that says:

System Software not authorized by Verizon wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn it off and got he the nearest verizon wireless store for help.

What does this mean?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsdubai:
That means you did not flash the loki patch after you installed the rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
You didn't flash the Loki script. Just reboot to recovery and restore a nandroid. You still get the custom unlocked padlock splash as well. It's harmless, just kind of annoying. You can get rid of it by using triangle away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rdefino:
thanks for the reply. What doe you mean by "you can get rid of it by using triangle away"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
The "Custom" splash screen. Resetting the flash counter with Triangle Away will give you back the normal splash screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Have you tested that with the KT kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Many times. I know it says to only use the stock kernel, and I am just some guy on the internet, but it still works. One thing...do not panic when it reboots a few times. It seems like the rebooting is situational. Some times it reboots once, sometimes twice. For me when Dan posted the 5/23 build, I was one of the first to flash it so I had to go in and lokify, and I had the custom splash. For this situation, mine rebooted twice. When I mess with the international TW ROMs, it usually only reboots once.

I guess one more thing: the last step is to reboot by pressing volume up (I think? just follow the directions). For me it does not reboot, it just shuts down. I let it sit for 30 seconds or so then reboot and voila, back to normal splash.

Edit: Also, don't forget there is some advantage to a locked bootloader...its much harder to hard brick because the bootloader will not let itself be overwritten without a signed payload. You can always odin back to MDK, do the MD2 kernel thing, reroot, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
I just tested it myself. Worked fine, it didn't reboot, I waited 10 secs and powered it on, it rebooted twice, then into Triangle Away. Volume up to reboot and there's the splash. I'm on the latest KToonsez kernel btw.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rmanaka:
Arghhh...I am on the MDK Developer's Edition...advantage that I don't have to loki the ROM and I have dirty flashed the latest update without any issues.

My problem is that with Triangle Away, I cannot reset my flash counter to 0, it always remains at 1 and I get the "CUSTOM" splash screen.

Can anybody on a DE phone using this ROM verify this behavior?

I am on Baseband I545VRUFNC5, Kernel version 3.4.0-g22842f5 (KT) and Build number KOT49H.05.30.2014

TA 3.26 reports: Counter: 1, Binary: Custom, Device: SCH-I545, System: Official.

Thanks, guys...LOVE this ROM!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
I experienced the same behavior (not on DE). I flashed the kernel from the latest kt to the stock kt to the latest kt a few times testing some other settings. Then this last flash, I gave Triangle Away another shot and it worked fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdfrye:
Just chiming in that this ROM is the only ROM that I have ever used on any phone that has ZERO glitches. Came from the MDK Stock verizon ROM and that had a few issues. Running this ROM for 1 week and not once have I had a janky moment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shpotik:
I can say the same, on previous releases I would have random minor issues. Tested almost everything and so far flawless! Thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:

Call recording

Are there any call recording apps that work well with this rom and capture both ends of the conversation properly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] binqker:
Is there anyway to make this available for Safestrap? I would donate $$ if you can lol.

I've had this rom running when I was on MDK and absolutely one of the best rom!! I was pissed at myself for messing around with my phone too much that I ended up installing MK2!! Later I found out I could not revert back to MDK!!. Basically I was screwed! haha. But yea I'd like to get this back again. :D:good:

[MENTION=5284690]binqker[/MENTION] I found this thread from at&t s4 http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2767026 where they run a ROM based on [AOSP] Official 4.4.2 - S4 Google Edition - Final-R1.2 that using same kernel of this rom..

So I think it's possible rebuilt AOSP Official Google Edition Verizon to make it works with safestrap? [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
its possible but ill wait until they have it figured out, too buggy to be DD atm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Just wanted to let everyone know that faux has a gpe kernel (look for the link on his G+). I am trying it right now. One thing I noticed is that it stumbles like an AOSP kernel on BT streaming, but I think the stock kernel may be the only one that doesn't. Decent alternative, and choice is good.

EDIT: DON"T FORGET TO LOKI DOKI! This is not a vzw specific kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
Did a full wipe and upgraded from the 3-29 release to the latest 5-30 release. Everything seems to be working fine.

I may try upgrading the modem again from MK2 to NC2 or NC5.

Upgrading your modem can improve your cellular performance. That has not been the case for me, YMMV.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamjerry123:
First I just wanted to say Danvdh this ROM is the BEST I've ever used.

Second I have two issues :

I get random process.android has stopped randomly. Is it because I have gravity box?

Second: I'm not sure if this is a ROM issue but my Google camera seems to take my front view camera pictures and mirror reflects them. How can I fix this? :/

Thank you guys so much!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Confirmed front camera issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BadToThePhone:
Do you guys recommend stock kernel or KT?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
For me, unfortunately, the March release is the latest one that let me restore my apps and data. The last two releases gave me crazy, endless force closes on certain apps after I restores apps/data. March release is running great with no problems, though.

And yes, same camera issue(which must not be a problem!)

I've been using KT kernels for a looooong time and couldn't be happier. Lets you tweak to your heart's content and are stable.

On a side note, having just installed this rom I'm very happy with it (who needs the bloat?).

No camera issues with mine.

One question/request: any way to show what modem rev is in use on the about phone screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
Hey guys, just switched from Hyperdrive 16.1 to this and am loving the amazing speed and the AOSP look! I am tired of the TouchWiz roms, and never made the full switch because the WatchOn app and camera quality was lost. Now with this rom everything is back!

Thanks so much!

I do have one small problem, it would appear that now I only get 3g connectivity and my phone never connects to 4g - I am in a well covered 4g area. Anyone know of a problem, or a setting I am missing?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Actually, its not the result that's mirrored, its the viewfinder. The viewfinder acts like a mirror, then the photo taken is reversed and not mirrored. Try it with text. In the viewfinder the text will be reversed, but in the photo as saved it is not reversed, so the photo taken is not exactly what you see in the viewfinder. I think that is actually normal and as designed to make it easier and more intuitive to center yourself in the shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
What modem are you on?

Did you follow the procedure in the OP to select the correct APN?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
Yeah I did, but it's all working now. I think it was just a goof.

Anyways, I now remembered what I hated so much about the AOSP Email app - You

CANNOT

do a refresh on the Combined Email view.

There HAS to be a way to add a refresh button to the combine view that syncs all the emails from all accounts at one time. It's a hassle to have to go and individually refresh each email account.

I have not attempted to make an Xposed module and I don't know how complicated it is. If no one can/wants to make one I may research it.

Someone has to have already made this as it's such a inconvenience. The Samsung Stock Email has a refresh button on combined view!

Maybe [MENTION=4600715]sbreen94[/MENTION] [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] or even [MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION] himself could shed some light on this.

I read Rovo's tutorial (extremely well written) on how to create an Xposed module and think that this is definitely possible. Especially considering the AOSP Email App is FOSS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
Just noticed that every time I reboot, the phone application force closes and does a vibration when the alert box pops up. Then about 15-20 seconds later there is a quick 3 vibration pulse. It's rather weird.

*It might be worth mentioning that I have the SIM Card Pin Locked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] edif30:
Had a FC with the XDA app and then a quick 3 pulse vibration. Weird indeed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
Does your Phone force close upon reboot? If not would you mind testing something out for me?

Enable SIM Pin under security settings, and then reboot. After you unlock your SIM card, let me know if it then force closes the app.

I think this has something to do with the added security to the SIM.

The 3 pulse vibration is weird o_O

I used to use k9 all the time. I forget what it was, but something about not supporting latest exchange emails from exchange 2013 prevented me from using it. I'll take a look and see if it works now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zxsix:
4.4.3 has a white dialer with blue numbers correct?

The change to a white dialer is one of the things I hated about touchwiz.

Any way this will be dark themed so the keypad stays the same colors as now (black/gray with blue numbers)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
Just as I suspected. K9 mail uses WebDAV which is no longer supported so it only works up to exchange 2007 - my corporate and school accounts all use exchange 2010+

So back to my previous problem. We need to get support for combined view refresh!! Haha =P

Also, found another bug which causes the device to go black and start to get really hot.

When messing around with the camera blur feature of the google camera every once and a while it will lock up on rendering the image, the black screen. There is no way to cycle the power (holding down the power button does nothing) the only way to get the phone back up and running is to pull the battery.

Hopefully this is fixed with 4.4.3

I have WiFi on, syncing all day, Bluetooth today even. So its not like I'm cutting corners or anything. Haven't touched CPU settings or anything. Also I keep auto brightness on.

I recently started using greenify because so many people rave about it. I wasn't running this ROM before I had it though so I can't directly attribute it to that but you could try it. Just quickly select all the apps you don't need running unless opened and it'll do the rest. Honestly though this ROM gives me better battery life than such touchwiz, modded touchwiz, or aosp. Very happy with it.

Ahhhhhmazing

Protips:

Home Router - (I use 5Ghz N) Beacon Interval was at 50 ms, changed it to 100ms. I did this because the wakelock detector always had my wlan_rx_wake and a few other wlan stats causing most of the wake and processing time. more than x2000 times a day, with total runtime at several hours (4-6 hours). Also have all IPv6 settings disabled and NAT Acceleration disabled. I use Netgear 6300 router with the DD-WRT Kong ROM.

I still have weather updated every hour, and other things still sync like normal, even google now updates. I don't want to turn anything like that off because it is useful.

So if you are on WiFi most of the day and getting bad battery, change these settings and they will do wonders!
