Dang you... lol JK. I just flashed the V4 patch no more than 10min ago. Good thing I haven't restored my apps etc yet

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

Are your settings not all messed up? I ran this rom for a few min then back to Goldeneye. When I would go to settings and click lockscreen it would open battery. When I selected System it would open Dev options and so on then FC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ahoslc:
Do you know if this will work with the new Purified 3.0 its TW 4.4.2 ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zmnypit:
Tethering seems broken on the newest patch
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
That would explain a lot. But I also had issues with v 3. Did not try 4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nonek:
Yeah.. tethering not working here either. I'm going to try a full wipe..

EDIT: So full wipe with aroma 5 patch not working. I was able to flash 3-13-14 test 2 on top of those and now tethering works again.. But of course the signal strength is stuck on.

Thank you so much for all your work. It really is appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] royredman:
For any of those who are wondering, Omega version 25 runs flawlessly. It takes a horribly long time to boot the first time, but it all seems to work perfectly!! Thanks for the awesome patch jrkruse!!

I have not seen an error with this rom so far. It seems really speedy and has alot of support on it also!! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] poeypresents:
im not getting a gps lock either, going to try to flash gps fix, however when i did earlier was stuck at samsung screen as reported by another user....will try again and report back

running Goldeneye25

EDIT: still not working, pushing old libs with corrected permissions causes boot loop as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Strange, test 3 and test 5 don't work. Did you try test 4? I'm back on HD 15 for now. Any ideas [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION]? Want another byte of that kitkat bar ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ascallop:
Can you confirm that wifi and gps work on Omega, and if so, which patch version / kernel did you install?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
For tethering use Android WifiTether It works fine. Just set profile to s4 in app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
I can confirm it does work good. For tethering use android wifitethering app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zmnypit:
Thanks I will give it a shot

Only thing missing from these international Roms is the files needed for ISIS anyway to bake those into the patch?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] royredman:
Does anyone know if MIUI international ROM works on this phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] poeypresents:
do we have any support for a GPS Fix? i've tried nearly EVERYTHING still no gps lock....

great work regardless, if i cant use GPS it's really going to be a tough decision as KitKat really seems to make the GalaxyS4 shine in all its glory....i really appreciate you being able to provide a patch for us Verizon users, as we know Verizon will probably release KitKat when the S6 comes out, (no mistake, lol)......thanks again! hopefully we can try to hammer this gps issue out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Sorry Im anti ISIS so I wont waste a minute on that app when verizon blocked Google wallet from working and give us a BS excuse that its because we dont want it accessing the secure element of the phone but magically it was ok for ISIS to do the same thing, just more of that dictating to you what you can and cant use. Google wallet now works on 4.42 with no patches or hacks you can just download straight from playstore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
You guys having gps problems may need to go to this thread and download the I545VRUAMDK_modem_apnhlos.zip. Then download the I545VRUEMK2_modem.zip and flash after to upgrade your radios
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] poeypresents:
wow, modem reverting, this is something i have not tried....THANKS! will report back asap;

EDIT: still no lock, just flashing signal....here is pastebin of logcat maybe if will add some insight....http://pastebin.com/ny8BynuY
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
I mean there has to be a reason why several of you cant get gps to work and the rest of us it works fine. so maybe the wrong NON-HLOS.bin got flashed in a modem upgrade or something. Everything else is wiped during rom install so maybe its related to this. You wont be reverting back because you will be upgrading back to mk2 radio and you should be on the mdk NON-HLOS.bin anyways because that should never be upgraded because it has to match your bootloader
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] poeypresents:
I posted a paste bin of my log cat, not to many lines as I just search for location manager and gps and just copied n pasted that area, I did a full wipe 3x before install, maybe upgrading back to mk2, n wipe cache or doing modem flash prior to loading first boot?

So frustrating!! Thanks for all your help and expertise
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Try flashing the mdk NON-HLOS.bin zip reboot the phone make sure you have signal then flash the mk2 radio only zip then reboot make sure you have signal. then flash mk2 stock rom make sure gps is working then wipe and flash 4.42 rom and I bet all will be good
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] poeypresents:
This sounds like a great plan of attack, running errands now, going to try when I get home, many thank yous
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nonek:
You Sir are spot on.

I have to thank you so much for your efforts. The fact that Verizon blocks Google Wallet makes me nuts. Wasn't there a class action suite recently against them that they lost requiring them to allow a certain app that they were blocking? The app escapes me but it's too bad that nobody does the same with Wallet. I imagine Google wouldn't simply because their OS rides on a bunch of Verizon phones.

Having said all that. ISIS is the devil and THANK you for letting me know that Wallet just works on this. I hadn't even tried it because I hadn't started looking for a hacked version and Voila! it works.

Thanks again and as you already know Wifi Tether fixed up my tethering issue.

You Da Man!!

Root File Explorer

Can you make Root File Explorer an AROMA option? It messes up my TB restore (which includes File Explorer as a userland app).

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
Just use titanium backup to uninstall it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blulite:
I could, but that get's confusing. When the new patch comes out and I dirty flash it puts RootFile in /system/priv-app, but I've got it loaded in user land. So now if I delete from TB the system is confused (and I'm confused). Did I just delete my user land app, the system app? I've been editing the original patch file and removing, but it would be really cool to just have an option to load (or not).

Jeff
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Just to be clear the last 4 patches have required full wipes. You really have a frankenstein phone going on if you have been dirty flashing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ascallop:
Thank You! This fixed gps for me on Echoe V17
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rwc95:
The gps thing is weird mine wasn't working on echoe 17. I clean installed yesterday like 5 times trying different things never worked last time just installed the rom ran the minimum patch v5 with the stock kernel from the patcher and it worked. Basically did the same install multiple times and the last time didn't really care if it worked and tried it last night and today and works instant lock no problems. So if it doesn't work for anyone might try the patch and make sure you have the patcher install the kernel for you instead of the roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jtadeo:
I haven't had any luck with any of these 4.4 ROMS... I keep getting the speaker buzzing sound when playing music (i take it that the phone is locking up when it happens)... I also get a bunch of random lockups accompanied by these shorts vibrations

This app has the same issue the built in hotspot has. Never connects

Edit: finally got it to connect
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] john7760:
It connects fine for me. Make sure you go into settings and choose S4 to configure for our devices first. .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Thanks for this Jrkruse! We basically have a bunch of new ROMS available thanks to the patch
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Yes! It worked! Amazing. [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] Thank you! Why did FoxFi and the built-in tether not work and this worked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] royredman:
Not only do we have alot of new ROMS, most of these roms have alot of developers supporting it, making the roms much more stable. It's really awesome!! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nonek:
Well, after using Android Wi Fi Tether I have noticed that there are a few issues with it.

When I start it for the first time it usually starts with errors.

If I stop it and then start it again it seems to clear those errors and start up.

It will then let my tablet connect.

If for some reason I disconnect or take my phone into Circle K for my much needed Diet Mountain Dew, it will not let the Tablet reconnect.

In fact I was unable to get them to reconnect to each other and I stopped and started Wifi Tether and also turned off wifi on the tablet and even rebooted the tablet and it just won't connect after authenticating..

It just sits there on getting IP.

This doesn't resolve until I reboot my phone. Unfortunately this is what I have experienced in the past actually on a few builds of Synergy Roms on my S3.

Shout out to those guys by the way as they really are a bunch of great guys and it's too bad they are still dealing with life.

Anyway.. I'm having some issues.. Anybody else been able to get Wifi Tether to work consistently? Sucks to have to reboot to fix it every time.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blulite:
"It's alive". Lol

Actually my dirty flashing back over the original base ROM, then your patch again. I guess most of the dirty flashing this go round was trying to debug Root Explorer bookmarks not being restored by TB, but we now know why that was happening. Other causes for dirty flash is theming, reload, then retheming. Back in the day I would dirty flash trying to get APN working. At some point I'm sure you will release a patch that can dirty flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ascallop:
It's working okay for me, although I haven't used it extensively yet.

My test:

The tethering app started with errors

My tablet (Nexus 10) connected successfully

Browsed the web for 5 minutes

Connected AnyConnect VPN to my corporate network and transferred ~50MB of data

Disconnected VPN

Switch off the tethering app

The Nexus tablet immediately reconnected to my home WiFi and worked okay.

EDIT: I should add that I'm on Echoe V17
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Protibus:
I just have to say this patch is absolutely great. Flashed Echoe v17 last night and all is working flawlessly. Great job on this. Opens the door to the fantastic International roms and themes out there. Thanks so much jkruse, great work. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mngdew:
What am I doing wrong?

I've applied the patch on both Echo and GE, but I'm not getting any radio signal (wifi works).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Protibus:
I have installed both GE and Echoe. Didn't have any issues on installation or with wifi, 4G and GPS.

I think if you go to this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51187721 a few pages back and follow the instructions there, you may solve your wifi issue.

I didn't have this issue with the previous patch, and I've already been using the MK2 radio. Yes, I always do full wipe whenever I flash a new rom.

This question is for jrkruse, Is it possible to create a patch that works with International AOSP Roms very much like how it works with TW 4.4.2 Roms?

Im not asking for you to create it, but I'm just curious if its possible that it could be done.

Thanks for all the great work man. I really love this patch and I really love the Omega Rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crossen0:
Will this work with Purified ROM? Sorry if it's been asked...

Question, Do I need to restore from a nandroid to get back to the verizon roms? or can I just flash the verizon rom and continue on? my backup size a bit big right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nonek:
First jrkruse... Love your work and that you do this just for fun? I am grateful.

Just want you to know where I'm coming from when I say .

I have tried the latest rom linked in this thread and echo and the Wi Fi tethering is killing me..

It actually exhibits the same behavior on each rom.

First startup starts with error.. stop and start of tethering gets it going again. Tethering works.

Stop tethering or get disconnected and try to start tethering or reconnect results in no further successful connections. You have to reboot the phone to get tethering to work at all.

I love everything else except that and since I need tethering to work I had to roll to your international 4.3 release. Yes.. I am a fan.

I'll keep popping back in here to see if it gets resolved.

Thanks..:)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nonek:
Hey Redflea,

Yeah I guess when I said Wifi Tether I should have said Android Wifi Tether.

That is the software that I am referring to in my post so although it DOES allow you to tether once after it fails to start the first time, it is somewhat of a pain to have to reboot my phone every time.

And if I didn't absolutely need to rely on tethering when I need to tether It wouldn't matter so much to me. It unfortunately does.

I LOVED everything else about this patch and frankly both of the ROM's I tried.

And honestly I could care less what I use to tether, but it needs to start first time when I start it and I need to be able to stop and start it reliably.

Hopefully I cleared up what I was talking about.. I AM a very confusing / confused person most of the time.

Happy Weekend ;)

This patch is great! Can flash more Roms now lol. Very lucky to be on mdk boot loader.

Anyone here having issues with getting Pandora to stream over the network? It streams fine over WiFi, but will not stream over Verizon. I've tried different versions of Pandora, including the play store version. Also tried it on two different i9505 Roms, both full and minimal patch, both stock and the KT kernel, and it won't stream over Verizon. Even turned on wifi but not actually connected to wifi, and also turned on Google's scanning of wifi network with wifi off, no dice, Pandora will not stream, it'll keep skipping to the next song but not play it, the song time stays at 0:00. Very odd, it kills me since I use Pandora daily.

Other than that, data is fine. Any ideas?

Edit: I switched to Danvdh's port of the GPE rom for Verizon, and Pandora streams just fine over Verizon. So there may be something missing in the patch, or any i9505 ROM, that Pandora is looking for.
