I have the previous version installed(the one prior to Saturdays update/upload). My issue is when leaving my house(WiFi), the phone will not connect to data. I have tried to toggle airplane mode on then wait a minute, toggle airplane mode off and still will not get it to connect to data. I have rebooted while driving down the road after leaving my house with it still unable to connect to data.

I know for a fact there is LTE and data because I went to my doctors office which has a Sprint tower with LTE right outside the building as I have obtained some of my fastest speedtests while there on that tower.

I reread the OP and went in to change the APN but I am not sure which one is correct and when I do select an APN, that choice does not stick after a reboot. Attached is a screenshot for further analysis.

TIA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
That is the correct APN. Try updating to the newest build. One of my testers dirty flashed from 4.4.3 with no issue ( back up just in case because your mileage may vary) and he reported WiFi to data hand off has improved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mrrsquared1979:
Ok, I am taking the wife out to the drive in movies and will dirty flash the newest version late this evening.

One more question, on TW ROMs, when swiping down to toggle WiFi, mobile data, bluetooth, GPS, etc on or off. How do I get that now or add/delete toggles that I want such as mobile hotspot, torch, etc. For the time being I have left the widget for settings on my screen and press that when I need to toggle something on or off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Your best bet would be xposed which is in my essential apps zip in post 3. Otherwise it can be found here on XDA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
I use BusyBox for my toggles, which requires Xposed like DroidDawg mentioned.

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

On that, it still isn't *too* consistent. It seems to be switching over around 10% of the time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mrrsquared1979:
I have busybox and pro installed already, I have a sum total of zero experience with busybox nor Xposed since I have always been on TW based ROMs.

Any help/instructions on those two apps??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
OK, this is going to involve a little more work. I'll take a look to see if I see anything in the code but I stink at coding. How's your data though Dylan? Is it better on 4.4.4 as opposed to 4.4.3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mrrsquared1979:
I just noticed your location, Overland Park. I used to work for a company called Overland Solutions located in Overland Park!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Thats awesome. My dad (I'm only 17) has a job at the Sprint World HQ here in OP.

My data works great, only problem is switching over. Have to go to the APN list about 90% of the time.

Honestly, my best advice is Google. I barely understand those apps, even though I've spent hours in them to be perfectly honest.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Once you get xposed get the gravity box module, also in the essential so app zip. Install and activate both. Once in gravity box, click status bar tweaks and should be under quick settings management
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Just spoke to Dan via hangouts. Got some apks I'm going to look at tomorrow if I get a chance but definitely got a build.prop item I want to change
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
Did you ask about the stock data usage?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Mudavo:
Battery life is decent with moderate use yesterday.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mrrsquared1979:
OK I was able to get gravity box installed and did some tweaking.

My next question is how do I get rid of those annoying add as shown in the attached screenshot?

I was previously running TriForce ROM 5.4 and the developer of that ROM must have implemented something because I never had that crap show up before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
I did not ask. I want to work on data first since thats the biggest thing.

Not bad at all

There should be an ad away app that you can download that will block ads within apps. I haven't seen them in xposed and they don't look like they are in the play store anymore. But Google ad away for android and that "should" fix it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mrrsquared1979:
sheesh! I don't know where you're located but if you're anywhere near me and still up, I might have to contribute to the heavily caffeinated beverages to support you. I can't assist you with the wifey getting upset or bothered by you allocating as much time as you do to this ROM. Wish I could since I am still up and it is almost 4am.

Thank you so much! ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
Yeah good idea.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rtwrobert10:
followed op instructions and wifi still won't turn on even after a reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
Did you dirty flash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
No problem. Glad to see it worked. I drink 1 to 2 monsters a day lol. I try to work on it when she's at work which is why it's limited. We work 2 different schedules so the time we are together is spent together. :)

When you switch WiFi on do you get a "WiFi error" and you can't toggle it? If so, that's a kernel issue with the wrong base. It needs to be a GPE kernel, not aosp or tw.

If anything else, try a redownload, reflash or try flashing ktoonsez GPE kernel to see if it helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xuser:
I thought ktoonsez's GPE kernel did not work with 4.4.4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] majid25:
My WiFi wasn't working after a clean flash, however doing a wipe or cache and dalvik fixed that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] clshores:
Since ktoonsez only has GPE 4.3.x kernel are there any others out there that are compatible with GPE 4.4.x? I muss features like fast charge and better governor options.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xuser:
I think I read something about droiddawg looking into a kernel. Not sure if ktoonsez would be up to making an updated kernel. You can always ask him in his Sprint S4 kernel thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nejohnson:
Loving this rom. One issue; whenever a call is active, the screen turns off and nothing, except the call ending, will make it come back on.

Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
I have the same problem. Haven't been able to find a fix yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] lunigma:
Same problem here, on both S4s

When you need to hang up or dial another number, hold the phone horizontally, the screen will turn on without having to press a button.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Yeah I've noticed that, just wish there was an easier way lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] brendanvista:
I can't seem to get APN settings to stick. I add a new APN, put in the info, save it, and it's gone. Can APNs be edited manually? I feel like I'm trying to change a file which is write protected, and it's not working. Is there also anything I could flash to make the rom work with US cellular/use their *228 update system?

EDIT: I tried entering the APN settings, and then just exiting rather than saving the settings or anything. It seems that 3g works, until I reboot. No 4g.

I realize that this rom isn't designed for USC, but I would love to figure out how to make it work, as there are so few roms out there for USC, and certainly nothing quite like this. I've been driving this rom for a few days now, and the only critique I might have is that the toggles cannot be modified. I'd love to have a rotation toggle. But it's super stable, smooth, and issue free otherwise! Amazing job.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Not sure about the APN issue, but for the toggles if you use Xposed and GravityBox that allows you to edit toggles.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] brendanvista:
Thanks man! I did figure that bit out, and have my glorious rotation toggle now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Feudal:
I'm still having data issues. Data cuts out randomly and cycling airplane mode seems ineffective. I've also had issues with text messages not coming through (resetting the phone causes a deluge of texts to come pouring in). Cleaning the cache and dalvik was ineffective. I did a clean install of the stock rom and I'm wondering if the fully loaded version would provide a more stable experience?

I really love this rom, but I can't stay with it if I can't fix the data issues. Thanks for all the hard work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xuser:
I also have data issues. I have to reboot to get 3G to switch over to LTE. Sometimes data drops completely and I have to reboot. Airplane mode to toggle data is useless.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mrrsquared1979:
The only way to get data to stick if it isn't connecting to data and airplane mode isn't doing it for you as myself and others have pointed out is to go-->Settings-->Wireless Networks-->More...-->Access Point Names and select: APN2 LTE - Sprint Internet

Report back and let us know if your phone immediately connects to data after doing this. Hope that helps!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xuser:
I already have it set to that APN setting. Something happens with the handoff from 3G to LTE. In places I know I have good LTE it won't switch over to LTE from 3G unless I reboot. Data will also drop at times then not even come back for hours. I don't notice it till I have to use my phone. I have to again reboot. I use Google Voice for texts. Then all my texts come in at once. People are like, "I've been texting you all day". It's a bit frustrating.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bdubble:
me too.

not the message issue but the data. but i also had it on the stock 4.4 rom. called sprint and they reactivated phone and the problem has been fixed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Feudal:
I've been using the suggested apn setting with no luck. I'm probably going to try a full wipe and clean install with the fully loaded version of the rom to see if my data will stabilize. Thanks for the quick response.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xuser:
I also did a dirty flash. Awaiting your feedback, hopefully a full wipe will fix the data issue. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Feudal:
Reporting back, several days late, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to surrender and walk away from this otherwise wonderful ROM for now. After several wipes, data issues have continued to plague me. Setting the APN as instructed resulted in temporary data connectivity, but it would vanish. I'm not sure what the common denominator was, but I'm certain it occured during the handoff between wifi and wireless data and probably whenever I'd go from 3g/4g.

After an unknown period of time, the APN settings would also be lost. I'm not sure why. Going in and resetting the APN to the correct setting would occasionally work, but not always.

Of final note, I suspect that the AIO ROM has been mixed up with the vanilla version. I've tried installing both and have found no functional difference (no Chrome, xposed/gravity box).

Thanks so much for the tremendous work. If I'm the only one having these problems then I strongly suspect user error, so I recognize there's likely little to be done for me.

EDIT: I've refused to give up quite yet. I realized I was still rocking the old MK2 modem and went through the somewhat difficult process of getting the NAE modem to stick (the classic ol' double-battery-pull odin finally made it work, but that shouldn't even be a thing).

Now, I do not understand how the APN's work, but when I go in to change it to the LTE, it defaults to the EHRPD one after a few seconds. I assume that's because there's no 4G where I'm at, so when it's on 4G, it should have the LTE APN highlighted and when I'm on 3G, it should read EHRPD.

Anyway, fingers crossed that it was a problem with the MK2. I'm surprised it took so long for me to think my modems may be the trouble with connectivity issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mrrsquared1979:
I too have succumb to the constant data loss, APN will not stick no matter how many times I select an APN!

I will keep checking back to see if the data loss has been resolved. :crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Feudal:
Aaand lost data again this morning, though the APN didn't seem to get forgotten, so that's good. I'm open to suggestions as I'm now out of ideas.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
Hmm, since the first release to latest I've never had any data issues with this ROM, so I wouldn't have the best solution, what you can try (& I'm not promising that this will help), but you can try flashing a TW ROM, updating PRL & Profile, then reflash this ROM, clean flashes are always recommended of course
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] brendanvista:
I just want to update on my data situation. I posted here a week or so ago saying I couldn't get 4G working on US Cellular with this rom. I tried every US Cellular APN I could find. Yesterday, I flashed this rom again, and used the APN settings posted in the "[CM11 [4.4[NIGHTLIES][JFLTEUSC][US CELLULAR]" thread here, by gr33nd3vil. It worked! I have reliable, working 4G. These are the settings:

Name: LTE - USCC INTERNET

APN: usccinternet

MMSC: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS

MCC: 311

MNC: 580

Obviously this most likely won't work for Sprint, but it's working for me!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tamaran-2000:
Gosh I like this ROM a lot...just a few things

I really like how clean and simple 4.4.4 is. I am coming from Touchwiz. My only problems seem to be with APN. I am using the second one on the list. Everything seems fine until I try to SMS. Toggling Airplane mode does seem to fix it. Or toggling APN. I was also wondering how to expand the pull down settings. I would like to add "Torch" and "GPS" to quick toggles. Thanks to this great community and Droiddawg!!

Update

It possible to update prl and profile on this ROM ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
No you have to go back to a TW ROM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] brendanvista:
Just posting another quick update. The US cellular APN I posted above is still working fine. Every once in a while the data drops for a couple seconds, but it's very livable, and speeds are great.

I may be blind, but I cannot see a way to change the notification pulldown toggles. Am I missing something, or does that feature not exist?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
AFAIK stock android does not have that option. On this ROM though, if you install Xposed and GravityBox you can change them with that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tamaran-2000:
Enjoying this ROM....however...

Still having APN issues when not on WiFi. Anyone else? Sprint in Chattanooga, if that is relevant.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Keyone:
Yup, I've been having LTE/3G disconnects everyday when I'm on and off of Wifi. I have to keep on going into the APN settings and data settings to play around until it comes back up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mrrsquared1979:
At the beginning of installing this ROM it was the best ROM I have installed. Then after time went on, I too fell victim to the APN issue. It doesn't get any better unfortunately, in fact it will most likely get worse, to the point where you will decide that constantly battling to maintain a data connection consumes way too much time.

If the ROM can be fixed to address this aspect, I will re install it, until then I have to suffer through some other ROM or unless TriForce ROM is updated.

I really wish this could be fixed, this was hands down the best ROM for battery life for me. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tamaran-2000:
I'm sticking with it....

Agreed. APN issues are the only problem with an otherwise excellent, almost perfect ROM. I have decided to continue with it. I have noticed that the APN choice seems to not "stick". Simply clicking on first one on the list will cause the radio button to jump to second one. Then data restored. I am tempted to simply delete the top one !! A simple fix would make my day !! Still grateful to the developers however. Bye-Bye Touchwiz !! Hello Stock Android 4.4.4 !!! Buttery !!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] GeneticJim:
Love the ROM but I can't get 4g in areas I had strong 4g on other ROMs. I am also constantly loosing data from the first 5 minutes of flashing. I've played with apns and mobile network settings. I'm sorry to say I have to leave this ROM for now. I will check back to see if the data issues are ever going to be worked out. I want to love this ROM!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
I don't think anyone is working on this ROM at the moment so you/we might be waiting a while :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Been busy lately. :/ Whenever I seem to get a free moment something seems to take me a way from it. I'm going to update it to Dan's latest build this weekend and the week of the 17th is my vacation so I can dedicate that week to it. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
Take your time brother, you're testers are ready when you are :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tamaran-2000:
Ditto to that....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] brendanvista:
Looking forward to testing any new updates. For now though, does anyone else know if there are any kernels that can be flashed over this to allow for overclocking?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
Not sure about kernels, you might have to make a nandroid & test, I believe the kernel had to be tweaked for us sprint users to even boot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Can't wait for vacation so I can dust this ROM off. Lol. As far as kernels, you can flash GPE kernels. I was running t mobile ones with no issues. As always, back up to be safe. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
That's always good news ;), I'm guessing the kernel boot issue was mainly on the initial release? & what dust are you talking about sir?, this ROM still works clean for me ;p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Kernels are hit or miss with any phone. Some will boot any, some won't boot anything but stock. Mainly a luck of the draw. I think the initial releases weren't kernel image related but more towards the modules. I was swapping the boot image but not matching the kernel modules in the ROM which was me being a n00b. Lol.

As far as dust, I'm talking about close to two months with no update lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
That's very true & ohhhh lol, that would make sense, good job you n00b :p & ehh, it hasn't been updated, correct, but it still runs like new :p, so not much dust collecting here lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Lol, I'm still learning the do's and don'ts around all of this :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] f0r71fy:
Data Connection

Just wondering how much closer if at all we'll be to having a stable data connection. Are there any tricks that will make the data stay? I've tried everything in the thread and none of it is working. Love this ROM but I don't think I can keep it with the data connection issues.

I saw somewhere flashing the tmobile kernel fixes it? Is this true and if so anyone know where I can find one?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tamaran-2000:
As this is a Sprint forum, I am curious. Would flashing that kernel solve mobile data issues for me? Please forgive a "noob" in training.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] f0r71fy:
Yeah

I'm not flashing it unless it does fix it.

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

So, I've done a few weird things and my data seems to be solid for now. I installed an app called Phone info and set my data that way, after hot booting I noticed all my APN's were erased and it wouldn't let me add one and my data was completely gone. I dirty flashed the ROM again and I seem to have data working(for now) the hand off between LTE/3G/WiFi seems to be working correctly.

So, from what it looks like all the data issues were fixed by either the app or dirty flashing the ROM again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] PwnCloud:
It does fix it. I usually had absolutely no data, now it's been normal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Which phone info app was it? :P I searched it and there's multiple
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
So the kernel fixes it? That or upload the apk of the phone info app so I can add to next build
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] f0r71fy:
Another update

So another update, all was well for a couple days but then I noticed when I got to areas that had absolutely no data then when I went somewhere with data the data issues began popping up again.

So this was a short lived fix, I've flashed CyanogenMod and am going to use it as my daily driver until the bugs get worked out of this one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tamaran-2000:
Does this mean the previously mentioned kernel is still in contention as a possible fix ?!! It seems to me that this kernel is not intended for Sprint variants. I'm a scardey cat when it comes to flashing kernels without news of success for Sprint owners...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] istealstuff:

Ill tryout the ROM with that T-Mobile kernel. I am a sprint user with gs4. I'll give it a try and let you guys know how it works.

Error when flashing

Like i said i would try the T-Mobile kernel but i cant seem to flash the Rom. I get a 4 out of 5 arg error. well something like that. Has anyone had this problem? and does anyone know how to fix it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
That's an updater script error. Are you using philz? Try using TWRP.

I haven't forgot about you all, will roll out something to testers tomorrow
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] istealstuff:
I got it to work. I am using CWM 6.0.4.4 Touch. it went through and now i am currently running the ROM with the T-Mobile Kernel that was posted earlier.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] istealstuff:

Is this the stock kernel that comes with the ROM? i flashed the T-Mobile kernel but dont know if it was really the one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
I'm ready when you are :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Ok guys, working on it now. Got some ideas but going to be taking lib files from a Sprint TW rom which will probably cause a no-boot.

Testers, have a nandroid ready. :) I got Parkourkid and I'm sure TheDylantula is still wanting to give it a go. We got a brave soul or 2 who want to give this a whirl when I get one set up?
