Is there a certain access point I have to connect to to get 4g? I'm at default but sometimes it won't connect to 4g. It could just be my area too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
I've noticed that problem too... I just go to the second to top Access Point when I notice a problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
I haven't been able to boot this ROM because I no longer have sprint or an s4. If it's like 4.4.2, there should be 2 APN links.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Both on 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 I've had 5 options.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
I meant two different ways to get to the apns in the settings
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Whoops :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
The top 2 APNs are the ones you guys want to be on. Ehrpd is 3g and LTE is 4g. It should auto switch but when my service sucked, I had to manually switch them
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Mine autoswitches from 3g and 4g, but it seems to have some difficulty switching to data from WiFi..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
How's battery for you guys on 4.4.3?, mine been kinda ehhh, not specifically this ROM, but with 4.4.3 in general
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Battery life from what I've seen is an opportunity throughout all the 4.4.3 Roms I've seen
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Seems a little lackluster compared to 4.4.2, but of course my battery life on 4.4.2 was godly :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Hopefully it'll improve over time. I'll see if I can find another kernel so people can under clock and what not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] t0mmyr:
Does prl update work on this rom for Sprint? Or is this aosp base?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
it doesn't unfortunately.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
This is something I've tried to implement using the Sprint diagnostics that the nexus 5 uses. Unfortunately, no go. :(

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] churchey360:
i didn't believe it when i saw that 4.4.4 came out when i read it on google+ lol but what was the main bug fixes for this update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jds3118:
So far I've read the main fix is a pretty important security fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sah0724:
Is this the whole rom? or only a update, I'm getting alot of errors running this once it loads up. alot of stopped processes.

---------- Post added at 01:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 AM ----------

cant get data to work, what's going on?

---------- Post added at 01:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 AM ----------

im using cwm maybe that's the issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
I think it may be deeper or I could be going in the completely wrong direction. Everytime I try to add an APN or delete one, the settings.apk force closes on me. I have edited several apn.xmls and worked on the settings.apk apn smali to try to resolve it and to prevent anyone from having to restore APNs constantly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
Awesome. Is this a port from T Mobile? If you do decide to do another port could you try a Wicked ROM? I really like all those ROMs but they are only for T Mobile. I think there are a few that are for Sprint S3 but not S4. Those are the only ROMs I've really wanted that have not been ported over. There was one awhile back that someone ported but it had still a lot of issues and was abandoned. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] chris-allen:
almost!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Hoping to get back on this soon! Somehow I booboo'd and now I have no service at all. Looks like I will be odining my phone tonight because I have no voice/data at all. :mad: Live and learn!

But yes: I do have intentions on future ports if/when I get this one completed. :cool:

Edit: Seems I am back in business! ##786# for a factory reset (once I nandroided my TW rom) put me through hands free activation and I have service again! :)

Edit2: While fixing my phone, I noticed danvdh has a VZW port of this ROM. Unfortunately, it has a Loki boot image so I can't simply rebase the ROM for ease but I can rob files from it in hopes it'll fix the LTE woes. :) More updates to come!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Ok, so I literally merged telephony-common.jar with the tc.jar from the latest cm nightly. I also made some build.prop edits; I looked at danvdh's VZW build for some more CDMA edits.

I did copy the ril files from CM which resulted in no service.

My 4th test build (regular ril files, new telephony-common.jar, and new build.prop) is loading now and I will edit with results.

Edit: Test build booted, I have 3G. Signalchecker Lite shows no connection for LTE but I have zero bars. I am connected to eHRPD though. I'll find out once I go home today and I hopefully will have good results.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
OK so no LTE yet. It won't pass off from eHRPD to LTE. Back to the drawing board.

Edit: Once I get home I will mess with telephony-common some more (I will snag the jar from the VZW ROM) and go from there. I feel its something I'm overlooking. Maybe it is an APN issue but I'm not seeing it because my APN list is blank? I did PM Danvdh for some help though. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Rebuilding APN list by hand tomorrow. Turns out it'll only accept 310&120 APNs. Adding you to the credits my friend. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
We got LTE!!!!!! New build will be up tomorrow. For some reason the signal strength shows nothing for LTE. I will fix that later lol.

Edit: Stock MMS works now too :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
This is good to see. Thanks to you and those involved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jds3118:
Nice work ! ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Working on building release 3 now. Playing with the APN settings since everytime you hit "reset to default" it goes blank. Just trying to make it where it'll be less of a hassle for everyone. Theres just some reason why they aren't sticking and I just can't nail it yet. Release 3 will be up today.

Heres a quick changelog:

Swapped GSM telephony-common.jar with VZW port telephony-common.jar (Thanks Danvdh!)

Adding new Settings.apk with accessible APN access from more network screen. (Thanks Danvdh!)

Adding stock AOSP Browser by default. (Thanks CM Team!)

Maybe: (haven't fully decided)

Chronus Weather Widget from VZW Port (Thanks Danvdh!)

Also will be adding more to the add-ons for those who want the options. Going to add the S-voice apk, gear manager for galaxy gear users, watchon, etc for those who want to down it. :)

Edit: Here's some progress. I can't seem to find out why the APN list keeps populating blank. I've used several apns-config.xml from system/etc and I've even decompiled and recompiled framework-res.apk to go to the /res/xml/apn.xml in there to make them match. I am going to deem this a bug and unfortunately....two APNs will need to be typed in to get data (3g/lte) and mms. :( Sorry guys, trying to make it hassle-free but it doesn't seem to want to cooperate.

Anyways, I will be updating the OP with APN info and uploading release 3 as we speak. Hopefully I can find a reason why and fix it so APNs will autopopulate.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] passlogin:
Thanks for your hard work ..

Is prl update and profile update options available. .

And ##code work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Unfortunately, no. I'm sure it can probably merged in from the Nexus 5 which I may try to tackle at a later date. You can access *#*#4636#*#* from the dialer but the ##3282# requires EPST and more than likely touchwiz framework. I would suggest making a backup of a small TW rom that you can nandroid to every month or so for PRLs. Thats what I intend on doing. :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Ok all,

Release 3 is up! First off, thank you all for your patience and your help. Second of all, I'm sorry that the APNs need to be hand typed :(. I'm still trying to figure that out. Other than that, rom is very stable. If your data drops, toggle airplane mode off and on and your data will come back. I'm hoping to iron out the data issues and APN issues soon. ;)

Again,

Thank you all for everything, I am fairly new to this and still have tons to learn. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Okay guys,

I fixed the blank APN screen issue! I am throwing up RLS3.5. If you downloaded RLS3 and loaded APNs yourself, you can skip it, you're not missing much. Only changes that took place are a new, cleaner apn-config.xml file and a couple more build.prop edits. Uploading now and will post when its done.

Dirty flash ok, just wipe cache&dalvik.

Edit: Its up! Again, if you flashed RLS3 you should be fine but feel free to flash if it makes you feel better.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
I'm gonna give a go soon as it downloads and I do a nand. Working nights now so I can flash and not worry about missing calls cuz the world is asleep. O_o Will report back in some hrs. Tks op!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Awesome, let me know how it goes. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
Good work mate ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] OldMansGhost:
Just can't seem to get this one to load. I am trying 3.5 but also tried v3. I checked md5sum and all is good (Actually download and checked 3 different times.

Trying to flash with Philz gives me a error 7 and says something about seeing 4 args looking for 5

Flashed with TWRP and it just loops on the boot screen.

Any thoughts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Try flashing ktoonsez kernel. I actually am not too sure why it's doing that. :( I'll see if I can find out though.

Edit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2655860 says it's an update script error and suggested twrp. On twrp, did you do a factory reset and wipe system in advanced wipe? I would also try flashing another kernel because the included one may not let you boot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
I think its to fix the towel root
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jds3118:
This article says it has no effect on towel root exploit. Towel root still working?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xuser:
Is ART available for this ROM? I selected it in dev menu but it reverts to davlik after reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoeisHere:
ART works with this rom. But if you use xposed it changes it back because it's not compatabile yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Sounds like a bad flash. I would give twrp a shot and reflash. Make sure you back up. :) And yes, whole ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Lol nice, quickest OS ever killed. R.I.P 4.4.3 :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
No GPE 4.4.4 yet it appears.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Not yet
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rtwrobert10:
Yet...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sah0724:
got it working, having a issue with low signal usually one bar and battery burns pretty quick. Love the rom, fast and smooth but gotta check the first page to fix these issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Battery issue is known for 4.4.3. Signal is a new one to me though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] churchey360:
Low signal is because sprint sux lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoeisHere:
That's true and to update your prl you have to be on a stock rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sah0724:
how do you fix the gps though? I can't get a location in maps with gps on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
There was a person in the Verizon thread with a GPS lock issue, not sure on the resolution. I'm hoping for another VZW release soon, since the t mobile build was updated on the 18th.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jds3118:
Restore a tw Nandroid or clean flash a tw rom get a gps lock then restore GE rom. That worked for a few people.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
An app called GPS status and toolbox was just suggested in the t mo thread. Give it a whirl. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Robin Dhicke:
So my only issue with this ROM is bluetooth... My Bluetooth ear buds don't seem to want to connect to my phone after updating to 4.4.3.

Otherwise this is really solid, I hope Sammy releases 4.4.4 soon.

Also on a side note... Does anyone know where I can get a working sprint voicemail app or if the voicemail app on stock Touchwiz works on this ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] istealstuff:
I really like Google voice instead. If you haven't tried that one i suggest trying it out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] zipxavier:
I'm having an issue using MMS with this ROM. I am currently using Page Plus and have changed the APN settings in every which way imaginable but am unable to send or receive MMS. Any ideas on a solution would be greatly appreciated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
I use hangouts and setup MMS there and it works on pageplus
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Hangouts or gosms are great options since they let you type in apns
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gheezydroid:
The ROM works great, the only issue I have is playing video from my class 10 micro SD card. It is very slow and choppy. Is it the ROM or should I try a different video player?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
You can try moving it to internal memory and that'll tell you if that's the SD cards fault. I would try MX player or qqplayer too. Ima huge fan of qqplayer. Although I haven't heard any complaints on video playback though
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] istealstuff:
Does anyone know if the Samsung camera works with this ROM? If it does does anyone have the apk?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Unfortunately, it does not work. Sammy cam requires touchwiz framework. Camera MX is a good replacement for Google cam if you're not a fan. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Heads up: Dan updated his t mobile build so really hoping for a VZW build soon. :) That way we can have an update. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jds3118:
The phone still uses Sammy drivers and hardware so all you really miss out on are the camera features but there are a lot of good alternative ones that can be used?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jds3118:
Dan's update is still 4.4.3 he is still waiting for 4.4.4 not sure if he's going to update the vzw build before 4.4.4 or not.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Soooooo, when we getting an update to Android L? :P jkjk
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
Lol I think that will be limited to Nexus devices only.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Yeah it is, but it won't take toooo long for someone to port :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
Its going to be a pre release so why bother? :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
I was just making a joke to start with lol. All over the internet you see people demanding updates immediately after whatever it depends on is updated :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
Yeah I know what you mean. I wonder when the full release of it will come?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
My guess is sometime in August. It sounds more to me like Google is just wanting to give devs a chance to rewrite their apps to comply with the new features/design choices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
Hmm I might give it a whirl on my Nexus 7.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Be sure to tell us how it is!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nejohnson:
So I flashed the latest version of this rom last night, and it's great except for two issues. I have no audio, and the camera does not work.

Anything I test that plays audio, flips back to stopped about one second after I hit play.

The camera, the first launch after boot says "Updating firmware" but then reports "Can't connect to camera'.

I've wiped/reflashed a couple times and it is always the same./

Any help would be appreciated!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Sounds like a bad download or flash. Check the md5 and reflash.

Cannot connect to cam is a possibly kernel issue. Its happened on my m8
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jds3118:
Dan dropped Verizon 4.4.4 ?

Sent from my UPSM v25.1 S4.9
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Oooo. I know what I'm doing tomorrow :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nejohnson:
After I posted this, I tried several other roms...all had the same problems, even stock. So I flashed the whole 4.4 bootloader, Firmware,rom and everything is better. This rom is awesome now. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
4.4.4 is just a security patch afik
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xuser:
How do I change the boot animation on this ROM. I've tried conventional ways and also the enabler zip. No go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Mudavo:
This is great thanks op! Everything is running smoothly. MMS on stock messaging app works. Also I flashed with CWM 6.0.4.4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
Any updates on the 4.4.4 port? :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Try the .qmg files in /system/media. Should be bootsamsung and bootsamsungloop. I cannot tell you for sure if it'll work, I didn't see much in Danvdh's threads either regarding the boot animation.

Working on it now and will roll it out to testers. Once they give the :good: then I'll throw a link up for all to enjoy. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pclov3r:
Count me in as testing lol

---------- Post added at 09:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

Oh also you sticking to the same method no added apps and flash

able zips for that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Doing it a little different.

2 Options: Stock + choose your own add ons or An All-In-One with all addons for lazy flashers

Testers, check your PMs for links.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Yay! One for lazy people :P

Edit: Dirty flash seems to be working fine.

Edit 2: Actually, this seems more stable than the last build. Switches from WiFi to Data w/o a problem :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Good to know. Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Okay everyone. OP has been updated. Enjoy. Here's the links from post 2 and 3.

I just flashed this on my US Cellular phone, as Sprint roms are usually just fine. Everything seems to be working great. Audio, camera, video playback, ART etc. However, data seems to be intermittent, even after a *228 update. The data connection flickers on and off, sometimes really quickly, but is often off. It's certainly not on enough for it to be called reliable. Any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Have you changed the APNs for US Cellular? Try this link to get the correct one since I have sprint only apns on the APN file

http://www.4gtricks.com/2013/04/us-cellular-4g-apn-settings-us-cellular.html?m=1

Anyone else having data issues? Testers said it was good. One was clean flash and one was dirty.
