[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
Good work droiddawg.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
I just noticed IPv6 is broken. :( pulls an ipv6 IP but doesn't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
ROM isn't dead, just kinda stumped on a few things. Hoping Google will drop 4.4.3 soon! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xuser:
I really enjoy this ROM. It's fast and very stable. The only issue I'm having is data drops. I toggle airplane on/off that sometimes works. More often I have to reboot. I wish this issue can be fixed because this ROM is really the one I'd like to use. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] slixzen:
So just wanted to bump this, as 4.4.3 was dropped yesterday for Nexus devices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
Hopefully, he'll be able to port it soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Looks like danvdh updated his t mobile build and is going to update his Verizon build next. Going to await his CDMA release because I don't want to risk merging old files in to make it work. Hopefully 4.4.3 fixes some of the issues :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
That's a good idea.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
This is the change log from an androidpolice article dated a couple days ago:

An*Android Police*source claims to have a test build of Android 4.4.3 running on a Nexus 5, and according to this tipster, the update is focused on maintenance rather than introducing new features. The list of fixes that the update currently includes is as follows:

Frequent data connection dropout fixmm-qcamera-daemon crash and optimization fixesCamera focus in regular and HDR modes fixesPower Manager display wakelock fixMultiple Bluetooth fixesFix for a random rebootApp shortcuts sometimes got removed from launcher after updateUSB debugging security fixApp shortcuts security fixWi-Fi auto-connect fixOther camera fixesMMS, Email/Exchange, Calendar, People/Dialer/Contacts, DSP, IPv6, VPN fixesStuck in activation screen fixMissed call LED fixSubtitle fixesData usage graph fixInternet telephony fixFCC compliance fixMiscellaneous fixes

These fixes look promising for us.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
I heard 4.4.3 fixes LTE dropping. Don't remember if.that was happening on this port.

Edit: didn't see your post right before mine. Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Looks like dan is grabbing testers for his VZW build. I did download the GSM build though. :silly: Gonna give it a crack and see if I can bust it out onto Sprint. I mean, I ported originally from his GSM build. :laugh:

No promises on a release though, definitely going to be a couple test builds before I do a public release because I want to do this right!

Side note: One more day until the weekend and I can show this beast some more attention. :)

Edit1: Zipping up a test build for myself which will be far from actually release quality and will throw up more edits tonight as I work on it.

Here's what I've done so far:

-Swapped out eri.xml which will hopefully display Sprint as carrier

-Swapped apn file to Sprint only APNs (universal APN file was an issue on my phone on 4.4.2)

-Several Sprint build.prop edits

-Poured myself a Jack & Coke

First test build is very simple and I will add more and more stuff to it if I get it working tonight.

One thing I am definitely going to test is booting stock kernel vs booting other kernels. I have a 4.4.2 kernel that I am fond of and I'm praying it boots with no issues. ;)

Edit2: It booted and I see LTE! Going through setup now. Will post an updated edit in a few minutes. :)

Edit3: Data works and carrier label shows Sprint. Going to play with build.prop later once my apps download since data usage window doesn't work which was an ongoing issue with my 4.4.2 builds. Side note: LTE hasn't dropped once yet since it has booted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
I can definitely confirm 4.4.3 fixes LTE drops. Haven't seen 3G pop up at all which is amazing. Expect something this weekend. I want to do some more to this first.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
Do you plan to port the vzw build once its done?

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

Oh, Is the stock data usage graph fixed as well?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Yes. Unfortunately, data graph is still a challenge. If its a build.prop issue then it was copied from 4.4.2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jds3118:
Didn't you use the vzw 4.4.2 build.prop ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Nope, I used the stock one plus edits
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jds3118:
Running a vzw test build now lol getting ready for Dan ?

Edit: data graph seems to be working :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
I was going to ask that. Seems like I may check out the 4.4.2 VZW stock prop and go from there
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Does the data graph have the limit slide bars and allow you to change the data cycle? Mine is now displaying data usage from apps but I have no slide bars or any options.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jds3118:
Yes I believe I'll get screen shot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Ok because I've merged the stock 4.4.3 build.prop with the VZW 4.4.2 build prop. I basically changing all the models to jfltespr, change the default network to 8, the carrier is 310000, etc.

Yet, the data graph looks just like it does in 4.4.2 for me, lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jds3118:
Looks like this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Appreciate it, I'm missing the yellow and red bars. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jds3118:
Ah I see
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Okay, giving this another whirl.

Reverted framework res apk which was a no go. Remodded build.prop which is still a no go for the data graph. It displays data usage but no slide bars and no actual usage shows on chart. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] theheathen:
When you get this sorted out, would you mind having the Dark-UI as an optional download?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Yes, I want to get everything working right now. The only true trouble is this damn data graph. Lol. Everything else seems very smooth.

I even flashed a 4.4.2 kernel that I like it and nothing seems to be broken but thats one of those "Your mileage may vary" type deals.

edit: one reboot from the 4.4.2 kernel. So once I post a build, I recommend the stock kernel that it comes with.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
You might want to hold off on dev of it for now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Hey guys, unfortunately I switched carriers today. :( I've been having a lot of troubles with Sprint the past couple of days and my job is getting rid of Verizon line which is back up lifeline. I bit the bullet and moved on from Sprint. :( I want to thank you all for your support but I need a carrier that works in my area. I'll try to roll out an update blind once Dan rolls out the VZW build and have a couple of people test it before I release it. Again, I'm sorry guys. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jds3118:
Who you moving to?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
I moved to t mobile. I need the unlimited data and in the city I'm in, it is better than Sprint and Verizon. Got the M8 and the wife got the S5.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jds3118:
Nice

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ----------

Oh ment to tell you i sim unlocked my friends blacklisted sprint s4 and have been running my backup t-mo prepaid sim with everything working including wifi calling ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
That's to bad but I understand.

I might pickup development of the ROM.

Oh just as a FYI Sprint is buying T-Mobile
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jds3118:
Didn't tmo just buy metro?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
They did yes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
I know that they bought them but it'll be a while before anything real happens. From what I read, one of the networks will shut down and the they'll move everyone to the other. It took them years to do it with Nextel so I think I'm safe for now. ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Seraphnox:
Looks like the verizon port dropped :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
droiddawg do you plan to port this or not? I'm willing to test but can't test LTE
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
I can test LTE if droiddawg decides to port this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
I will most likely attempt to port this if he doesn't or when he stops porting.

I've asked for permission to port this :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Thanks man. Was worried I was gonna have to find another ROM D: I've gotten do settled into this one :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
I'll first see what droiddawg stance is on this port. Hopefully he will port it first.

Since it's just a minor update hope it will be an easy port.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
That's fine with me :D I was just saying I'm happy you'll (most likely) take it over when droiddawg leaves :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
Yeah, I can't guarantee i'll be able to get it working tho if and when I try.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
If you can get it out before me, hit it up. :) I probably won't get a chance til Saturday or maybe Friday afternoon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
I'll go ahead and wait for droiddawg to port this since they have much more experience than I do most likely.

It appears the new VZW build has a untouched kernel and it's stock. Should be able to use that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
Still haven't received permission from Danvdh. Can't do anything unless he says it's OK for me :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
As long as its not a .Loki than yes. If its a standard boot.IMG, we shouldn't have an issue booting. Loki kernels cause no boots for us because our boot loader has no idea what the format is.

When I get home today, I'll set up a build. I will need a few testers, including pclov3r, that I'll PM the build link to.

This may be my final build....maybe ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
Okay I'll be willing to test :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
I'm also more than willing to test :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
I'm willing to test myself
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
Sent you another pm droiddawg
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Sweet, got my three testers. :) I replied to you PC. Cracking open the laptop to see about working some magic for you guys. :) Once testers give the go ahead, it'll go public. If I continue this project, updates will be seldom and no eta will be guaranteed. Otherwise, pclov3r is in the process of taking over and I do want to thank him for continuing where I leave off. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
Wait for my new vzw release droiddawg. Should hit later tonight
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Thanks brother. I just caught your message. :D I just made the few changes for my testers from your last build. :)

Edit: Sending out PMs to testers in a few with a test build even though it'll be updated again later once the newest vzw release hits. ;)

Edit2: PM sent. Want to make sure we are heading in the right direction. Will update for testers again once Dan releases his new vzw build and let them do their thing. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
Okay I'm going to attempt a dirty flash and flush /cache

EDIT: It's booted and android is now upgrading it says which is expected behavior.

EDIT 2: Appears to be booted and the dirty flash seems to work fine.

EDIT 3: 3G data and calls seem to work fine. I'm unable to test LTE

This is a nice first build. No issues with the dirty flash so far after wiping /cache and flashing davalak cache.

My only compliant is the battery % being default. I think it should be left as an optional add-on :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
since you did the dirty flash, I will clean flash now and report back

×Rebel Nation×
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
Are you able to test LTE?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
give me like 10 to 15 mins, about to reboot to recovery & flash :p, but yes I should be able to, that's if sprint decide to play nice, I've been having bad signal here in Queens, NY

That moment when everyone decides to text you when you actually have something to do. But you get zero hit up when you ain't doing s*** -.-

×Rebel Nation×
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
LTE confirmed working on dirty flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
Reporting back, I gotta say, for a blind build?, this is pretty good O.O, well to me at least, LTE works with no problem, connected instantly, one weird thing tho, I'm jot sure if the LTE bars are moving, unless its just my signal, I am however getting data tho, so no worries, didn't get any FC yet, haven't tested MMS yet, but I'm pretty sure it works, this can personally be a daily driver for me :)

Edit: The DarkUI is working great for me, zero issues ;)

Edit: nothing is wrong with the LTE bars :p, it was just my signal, I rebooted & it started acting normal :), loving this on that 320 DPI ;p

Edit: loving my new setup ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Mine are moving, so it must just be your signal. And agreed, this is an amazing build for being blind. Thanks droiddawg. You will be missed in this community when you leave :'(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Good to hear everything is good. Danvdh threw up a new build so I'll work a second test build this afternoon when the wife goes to work. I will remove battery percent by default and keep it separate.

Should I add appolo, xposed and gravitybox by default?

I want to keep the rest clean for the user to decide what launcher they want, etc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bthorne79:
I would leave it as an GPE users can add their own apps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Works for me :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
I also agree.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
looking forward to another test :) & you can keep Apollo out, do include xposed and gravitybox,

it saves time off of doing that whole battery percentage thing because gravitybox includes a batter settings,

& let's be real, I can't see anyone using a rooted phone without xposed, its way to useful

✖Rebel Nation✖
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Can any of you tell me if the stock data usage works? Can you post me a screenshot? :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
it seems to be working for me

✖Rebel Nation✖
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
It still doesn't show the slide bars. :( That stinks. That's how it should look.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
ohhhhhh, I was wondering if you were referring to that also, becuase I remember that being an issue on the 5.5 build, I never use it so I barely notice it

✖Rebel Nation✖
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
And now that Sprint is gonna start limiting its highest data users having that would actually be somewhat useful :-\
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Hmmm, for some reason those are pretty much a continuous bug for us. Working on a test build 2 now using Dan's newest VZW build. Leaving battery percentage out as a separate flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
I actually recently read up on this :/

✖Rebel Nation✖

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

did you ask Dan if he has an idea of what could be causing the data usage bug?

& sounds good, keep us testers updated ;p

✖Rebel Nation✖
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Its sad :'(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
I feel like their isn't a point to even pay for unlimited anymore, when you can even use it to its fullest, on top of that, rarely even get LTE, sprint is just messes us up

✖Rebel Nation✖
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
That's why I left sprint, you're not unlimited if you have no service....data usage isn't an issue on his t mobile or VZW builds, they work flawlessly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Okay, my testers now have a new build in their PM inbox. :)

Once they give me the thumbs up, GPE 4.4.3 RLS1 will be released tonight! :laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
I just might have to think about switching carriers :/

✖Rebel Nation✖
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
T Mobile bought my ETF and it was probably the best move I ever made. I was on Sprint for over 6+ years and my family still use it....for now. Despite T Mobile being bought by Sprint, I'm very happy where I am and hoping this won't affect my service.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
I get better coverage around here with Sprint than I did with Verizon. And it's about 1/2 the cost :P

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

This build seems just as stable as the last.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
I agree extra apps should be sperate. This is just my opinion.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
I'll remove them and make a separate zip. :) Think its release time tonight?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
Awesome no battery % as well? I like as close to stock as possible. Unfortunately, I won't get a chance to test the second build before the final release most likely :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
So far seems like a good release for tonight :)

×Rebel Nation×
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Second build has no battery percent
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
Dan made a flashable zip for the battery percentage

×Rebel Nation×
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Technically danvdh did ;) I'm just rehosting it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
I think it's more than stable. Only problem I have is the data graph. Definitely ready for a release.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
I just corrected my post :p.

& quick question, do you think the watchOn.apk flashable for the 4.4.2 would work on the 4.4.3? or did you not test it yet?

×Rebel Nation×
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
Hum noticed 1xrtt data shows as 4g lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
I doubt it but I haven't checked

Weird, did you dirty flash or clean install? Download signalcheck lite to ensure LTE isn't connected. Maybe its just a real bad connection on sprint?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Okay all, it's been long awaited and overdue. RLS1 of 4.4.3 GPE for the SPH-L720. Here's some info and links. I also went ahead and updated the original posts. :) Enjoy and post any bugs or issues. Clean install recommended but you can dirty flash if coming from a 4.4.2 build of mine. However, dirty flash = unsupported by me.

4.4.3 06/15/14 RLS1

Changelog:

Fresh port built from Danvdh's 6/13/14 VZW 4.4.3 build

Swapped eri.xml to reflect "Sprint" as the carrier

Swapped apns-conf.xml to Sprint only APNs

Edited and added some Sprint entries into the build.prop

Added a few APKs: Xposed, Gravitybox, Xuimod, Apollo, and Flash Player as a separate flash if desired

DarkUI theme and Stock Percentage remain as seperate installs but may be implemented later if enough request it built in

Known Bugs:

Data Usage window continues to be an issue with no slider and no way to control the month

Other than that, you tell me?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
Happy fathers day everyone!,

ROM still running strong as i expected ;),

I'm going to test the watchOn .zip to see if it still works.

Edit: so strange issue after testing the watchOn.zip, so far it starts up & run without any issues,no fc or anything, but when actually testing the buttons to see if it turns your tv etc, it pretty much does nothing, it acts as if it doesn't even have an IR blaster, no biggie tho :), i was told that it may not work :p, so if anything, just mention it in the OP or something
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
I don't think the driver is updated for it and it won't work til there is TW 4.4.3

How to get GEL working? I have installed Google Now Launcher and latest Google Search.

EDIT: Made both of them a system app and everything works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
Here's what you do. you go to your local general store. go to the hair products section. Grab a jar of gel, go home, take off the battery cover, get a scoopful, and smeer it all over the battery and back of phone, then place the battery cover again. and proceed to turn on the phone. congratulations you have now installed GEL on your Samsung Galaxy S4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
That made me laugh lol.

Side note: I don't think they necessarily need to be system apps. On my 4.4.2 builds I put them in the data folder to be installed as a user app. If I remember correctly, a reboot was required after apps were updated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] buzzwyzr:
I tried everything I could think of (including a reboot) but was unsuccessful until I moved them to priv-app.

Maybe 4.4.3 changed something?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Its a possibility
