[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
I love everything about this ROM...its slim, fast and there's no data loss that I've encountered as well as no random reboots...

The only issue I've encountered is with navigation.... It takes FOREVER if ever to locate GPS

Is there something to fix it on your ROM.

I've had this same issue on your previous ROMs for jb as well but everything else works perfect.

Other kk ROMs give random reboots and data loss that drives me batty but the navigation works flawlessly.

When having to make a trip I generally have to flash a different ROM and I really hate that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
You can try flashing the GPS related stuff from the bootloader. However, from decompiling those items and looking at the manifest, they are only needed for Google related things and for "snooping". I personally use FasterGPS (from the market) and get locks in like no time flat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
Thank you... Faster GPS didn't work for me ,but you got me turned in the right direction....and I found one that worked for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Which one did you use? I'm always looking to try different things to make GPS lock faster.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
GPS Fix. By astroid labs.

It appears every time I swap a battery out....it needs to be run but that's no big deal it only takes a minute. And once its set...its instant satalite lock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
How you liking the s5?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] escknx:
Awesome ROM, super light and fast, w/o any weird modifications and themes. but I'm getting "your internet connection is unstable" from time to time. It never happened before with that router.

I use latest KT kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Well the original one i got on swappa got blacklisted cause it was never paid for -.- so i simply got one at T-Mobile and now i'm loving it :D Especially with kt's awesome sauce! :D Battery lasts FOREVER!

It doesn't really mean anything. I got it too a couple of times. I just click "ok" and continue on my day.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
The battery should last forever lol its darn near the size of the phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
Oh btw I found a much better gps fix app....

GPS Status- it starts up as soon as you turn navigation on and create a lock on satalites almost instantly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
Gps status
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] escknx:
It means a bit of something, especially on large files, when I downloaded bloat package it cancelled download due to unstable WiFi so I had to down it again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Then it is the WiFi network. That notification has never done anything to my actual connection. I also think there is a setting in the wifi advanced options for something pertaining to this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lostsurfer:
How do I bring in my google contacts??? :rolleyes: nm bloatinstaller im sure
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Install Google contacts adapter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrdreamers:
does xblast tools work on this rom?

just trying to find out how to theme it out ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
I wouldn't see why it wouldn't :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrdreamers:
is there something about this rom you can tell me that stands out from all the other roms?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
Are you serious? !?!

OK I'll tell ya...it's slim...slimmer than the cut of beef you paid to much for at your local grocery.

There is no theme it's as basic as it gets....You want a theme? You add it.

Missing something you use on a stock rom? It's in the bloatware package.. Also included in op.

No random reboots and no data drops.

No CIQ and no KNOX.

Use GPS? ....well if you notice it's a bit slow finding a satellite. . Get GPS fix from the market....it's that way becuz he removed the snooping spy ware from it that allows tmobile, Samsung from collecting data from you.

Still curious? ....well if your looking for more...like stuff that other people add to there roms due to the fact that you don't know how or its easier to pick multiple choices....This is not for you....keep looking.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
Each and every rom is great in its own way...they're all different...they're custom...created by an artist with his/her own creative mind.

There isn't much to say about this rom becuz this artist didn't add...but subtracted....

He doesn't see a need to theme the crap out of it...or hype it up with bling bling.

Each and every one looks for something different....what he gave us here with this rom is less....less bloat. ..less bling....less....and with that being said....sometimes less is more.

Anyone that knows Elesbb's work knows he doesn't add.....He goes for basic and SLIM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrdreamers:
TY! that :highfive: answered my question perfectly :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Great job [MENTION=2675647]elesbb[/MENTION] really enjoying the ROM, super slim, fast, and smooth! I do have a question though and I know it's not a ROM issue, but does anyone know how to get rid of the random transition jitters when opening and exiting apps as well as in the interface? Happens on every KitKat ROM, international, T-Mobile, even when I was officially stock! Not a big deal but slightly annoying considering this is a very capable device and I didn't notice it on 4.3. Anyone have a clue or solution?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] krazierokz:
Do you mean settings> developer options in settings , transition animation turn off or faster :thumbup:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Thanks for the reply but nope, not I mean. I don't want to make them faster, I just want them to be smooth all the time, sometimes (too many times) it jitters or stutters, not sure what term to use
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
I believe that's TW. However it's more on stock TW, custom ROMs are pretty smooth.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Yeah I know but it didn't happen with touchwiz jellybean only with KitKat.. Aosp/cm don't have this problem which is a shame, its the only thing I don't like about KitKat touchwiz but I guess I'll have to deal with it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
If what your talking about is the screen flickers...it does that on a lot of the KK roms...even on most the i9505 roms but it does seem to be a random thing.

I've been flashing a lot of roms this past 2 weeks and it may show up on a rom but then next time it doesn't.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcel112:
nobody can tell me if galaxy s4 int LTE can flash this one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
I have only seen flickers when imputing something on a keyboard, but I think these were app issues that were fixed once apps were updated as I haven't come across this for a while. I think if you say a slight transition flicker it sounds more like what I'm taking about because the screen doesn't flicker, just the transition animation when opening and closing apps.. Could be smooth as butter when I close an app any given time, then the next time I close it flickers/stutters/jitters and feels like I'm using a 256mb single core device, and its a random thing. Again no disrespect to this ROM, I know it is a tw KitKat thing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
Try it and see...worse case ...bootloop. .flash a kernel for your device if bootlooped and should be fine .

I don't think you'll have any problems since I use international roms on my American device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcel112:
Really apriciated for your response.

My only fear is a brick... bootloops i could care less..

So i can use verizons version 17 then
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
I've been flashing roms since the sgs vibrant first came out and have had the vibrant, sgs 4G, S2, and this S4. ..and have never seen a true brick.

It is in my belief that just flashing roms will not true brick your "S"

These devices are as hardy as they come....don't drop it though :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcel112:
Downloading now!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
Is your device gsm or cdma?

I don't think a gsm rom will work correctly on a cdma device and vise a versa...I could be wrong but I don't think so....either way your just looking at a bootloop or things not functioning correctly
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcel112:
mine is gsm, so i better not flash according to your words..

Thanks though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Actually it is very possible to truly brick by flashing ROMs, I've seen many in the s3 forums, but these S4 devices are very similar that hard bricking isn't as easy as before

This is a gsm ROM. What is your model number?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcel112:
I9505
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
Most so called bricks are inexperienced people not knowing the difference and thinking a soft brick is a hard brick...Anyone that believes they've encountered a true hard brick....send your device to me...I'll gladly take it off your hands lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
It should flash fine, just disable WiFi calling when you are in the system or you'll get errors

No, they were true bricks, nothing would turn on, no lights, and message when plugging into computer that tells you its a hard brick, I forget what the message is but its true many don't know the difference between bricks lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcel112:
in Aroma only 2 models:

verizon and ATT

Wich one?

choosed Verizon
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
If gsm (i9505 is)you should pick att

If your not dling and installing this rom....why are we discussing this in this thread?

You really need to take this elsewhere. .....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcel112:
I am downoading and installing

I used verizon.

I have signal and wifi...

Have to manually setup APN though

I was setting up...

Thanks for all your help.

compatible with i337 on 4.4.2, NB1 safestrap 3.72beta?

Hey there just a quick newbie question. Can I install and use this on an i337 with NB1 kitkat? I have safestrap 3.72 beta and just trying to use my tmobile features in this hardware. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
Edited: i337 is att right? Then yes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wanabedev83:
Omg! Thanks!

OMG I wish I saw your reply hours ago cause I've now software bricked my s4 :( . Oh well live and learn right? Besides it's not like it's not irreversible ;) I should have it up and running again by tomorrow but just to double, this rom was on the at&t NB1 safestrap thread so I should be okay right? Damn man thanks a million, just wish I didn't software brick my device but whatever you've been so helpful, thanks a million.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
Yes.

And im sure its just a soft brick.

Just relash the last running rom you had on it and all will be fine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wanabedev83:
Can't, lost the recovery and all lol. I have to download the tar file from sammobile and do a complete reset then kango root again but that's easy. The hard part will be getting the safestrap installed again, hopefully it goes smooth. Yup i lost everything except the hardware and the ability to bring it back ;) .

Anyone else having trouble with MMS over WiFi ? Or is there a package in the bloat I should add? I tried forcing messages over WiFi in xposed but that hasn't helped.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dex1701:
Yeah, it doesn't work for me either. I've tried some things that others have suggested, but I can't seem to get it going. I have to shut off WiFi or WiFi Calling to send/receive MMS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] grundlestain:
Data drops were my reason for coming to this ROM, but with an undependable WiFi calling, its the same stuff just in the other half of the places I go. Hopefully someone can help out with this, its not only MMS messages but IF I get a call (half my calls seem to miss) I can't hold it for any longer than a few minutes. Calling party can hear me but I loose it and have to go outside and turn off WiFi to call back. I'm on fnb4 baseband and cleanest install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EMcTx:
Has anyone else had problems with activating OK Google Everywhere? I have tried everything I know to do to get it to activate, including disabling the updates and getting the latest one from the play store, and typing Ok Google Everywhere in the search bar. It worked fine in the Insane Kitkat Rom, but I was having too many problems with people not being able to hear me when I answered the phone.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

s5 power save modes

Has anyone tried applying the S5 power save mods to warpdrive?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EMcTx:
This ROM is great, very smooth. One thing I can't find in settings is voice control. I'd like to enable this when I use my camera. I find it easier sometimes to say "capture" to take a picture. Is it supposed to be there, and I'm just missing it, or is it in the bloatware zip?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fg:
in answer to my own question, the v2 package of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2789666 doe snot work out of the box. maybe if time permits i'll look into it, as i love the stock but really want ultra power save mode

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

I don't remember if the stock camera app is one of the bloatwares. and yes, i'm running warpdrive

On my phone, the voice setting is in the camera app: open camera -> menu -> settings -> gear icon on the right -> scroll down for the voice control toggle

hope this helps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EMcTx:
Thanks for your response. I tried turning voice control on in the camera, but I get Unfortunately Camera has stopped. I believe it may have something to do with the fact that I don't have voice controls in the main settings. I may just have to re-install the ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fg:
I don't see voice controls in the top level of the main settings. Where are you looking for them? My understanding is that touchwiz on the s4 doesn't have any voice control settings in the main settings screen. Samsung voice control is primarily in the S-voice app, which I don't have installed. there is voice feedback in the accessability menus but i'm sure you're not looking for talkback.

if you get unfortunately the camera has stopped, you may want to clear your caches in recovery and wipe all the camera data in app manager.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EMcTx:
Thanks for your suggestions. I'm still getting unfortunately camera has stopped, after clearing caches and data for the camera. The voice control setting I'm talking about is under settings-my device-input and control. It should be right under the smart screen setting. I've got the air view toggle under smart screen on my phone. Do you have the voice control on your phone?

The other Samsung extras work. I just used palm motion to take a screenshot.

I do have talkback under accessibility menu.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
Oh, silly me I fixed it and forgot to tell you about it:

This line

ui_print(" All Finished! Go ahead reboot, hit thanks, donate and enjoy! :D);

should be

ui_print(" All Finished! Go ahead reboot, hit thanks, donate and enjoy! :D");
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
Wow talk about a slim rom!

With all the bloat removed....were you able to get screen rotation fixed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
Wow... Just... dude.

#1 do you really want to re-download 1 GB of data when you can change two lines in a text file?

#2. Not my ROM. I'm just being helpful.

#3. elesbb's work is fantastic. I trust his stuff enough to flash it on my device even if I DO have to fix a typo or two in the update script first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
I was able to flash it. Love the rom so far, great work elesbb!!!!

You can skip it if you don't like it, don't have to be a jerk. He's doing this for free. And it's not like your phone will explode and wipe out North America just because of an excessive script in his rom...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] epsix:
I even flash CMW recovery still don't work. Remove the line from update script that Fenny said still Fail when flashing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] diptenkrom:
what did you use/do? mine is almost done downloading
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
I missed a second typo:

This line

ui_print(" All Finished! Go ahead reboot, hit thanks, donate and enjoy! :D);

should be

ui_print(" All Finished! Go ahead reboot, hit thanks, donate and enjoy! :D");

as well as removing this line from the updater-script and you should be golden:

package_extract_dir("data", "/data");

For real this time. I flashed it myself. It's working. :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Basically, after you download the rom, double click on it, go to META-INF, com, google, Android, open updater-script with Notepad, scroll toward the end and find the follow codes:

Hint: Add " at the end of the emoticon.

Then remove this:

package_extract_dir("data", "/data");

Save the changes and you're good to go. Don't unzip and repackage it, I did the first time and it didn't work. Credit is Fenny's.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] camineroga:
Without removing those lines, it wont work?? Cause I want to install it, but im on my phone and I nact remove the line from my phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] diptenkrom:
are both of those in the same file/place?

don't mind editing a file, just want to make sure i know where to look!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
That is correct. This is just a stopgap measure while our OP gets a build posted and re-signed so we don't have to wait hours.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
You can wait a few hours until elesbb removes the codes himself and reuploads the ROM. This is only for those of us who don't wanna redownload the file or wait any longer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Link has been removed. I fixed the mistakes in the lines. I appoligize for them im only human :P I will re-upload over the night to BOTH mega and androidfilehost so they should be ready and good in the morning. Really sorry about that guys. Weird how it worked for me. I don't remember seeing the last line the "thanks" line so that may have been why i thought it was fine. However, that is the VERY last line in the installation process. So if it stops there, it should still boot after installing.

But anyway, i'll upload over the night and everything should be good to go. I will continue to support this and come out with some more tweaks and hopefully more debloating.

And [MENTION=522448]Fenny[/MENTION] thanks a bunch for helping everyone out with my sleepy issues :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Yes they are.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rubbamade:
so I just looked into my repackaged zip and everything was in a file called tmtouch....anyway...I reapackaged it RIGHT and changed the lines correctly...rezipping...flashing soon. I hope.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] diptenkrom:
i edited the file, and will be trying to flash in just a few. i also unzipped and edited the unzipped file, will rezip and try that if the other doesn't work.

got a status 6 error? never seen that before
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cswroe:
What did you use to make the edits? Probably an issue with some of the characters if you changed the file in a program that uses windows characters.

Try using Notepad++ to do the changes in the file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] diptenkrom:
wordpad, cause notepad was just a stream of characters. trying again, if not i am downloading the notepad++ right now!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
I edited the file with Notepad. I never unzipped the file, only double clicked on it to open it up, after I edited and saved the changes, WinRAR asked me if I wanna update the zip file, said yes, that's all I did. I figure if you unzip and try to rezip it, it messes up the file sometimes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cswroe:
I unzipped with Winrar, edited the file with Notepad++, rezipped with Winrar, and flying on this baby!

Notepad would work since it respects newline.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rubbamade:
not working. I edited the files in notepad and rezipped with 7zip. didn't work.

said "error updating binary script in /data"

created a folder named data. moved the updater script and binary script to the data folder. rezipped.

now it says its starting to install. says its skipping md5 check and fails. no error info.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
If it's causing too much headache, wait until elesbb finishes uploading the new file then, you can wait a few hours ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cswroe:
If you can hang on for a few minutes, will upload my zip to Mega. Shows about 35 minutes right now....sorry it will take awhile, we have a lot of data moving right now on the upstream.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Only notepad++ will work. Notepad will not. Well the fixed versions are uploading. So long as the network stays alive they will be available right when I wake up! Goodnight guys! Once again I'm sorry! :\
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] diptenkrom:
i unzipped the files, edited with wordpad, apparently messed up because i also screwed with the original, so now i have to wait cause i can not start over, unless someone wants to upload the fixed updater_script file...

i just deleted half of the last line instead of editing it, because that is the only place i ADDED a character. we shall see if that works?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cswroe:
I removed link now that there is one on OP.
