update the OP to say "Echoe 28.1" or something like that.. kinda annoying to have an out-of-date OP if you know what im saying
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
If the app would let me change it like it used to I would have done it already. I don't want to annoy anyone so I could close the thread but that might annoy others more hahahahhaha

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] huntinwabbits:
Got a couple issues I wanted to throw out there and see if anyone else has the issues or has an idea of something I can try...

1) I wanted to put the original samsung messaging app in. I have a SecMms_Blue.apk that I downloaded (I think from this thread). My understanding is that I needed to copy this to /system/app and rename to SecMms.apk and change permissions to rw-r-r. I didn't see a SecMms apk to replace so I copied the file with Root Explorer and did as I said. Nothing changed. I 'installed' the apk and that works but doesn't stick on reboot. I am assuming I am missing something that most of you probably know right off the top of your heads.

2) I wanted to use the new July 30th update of Aviate Launcher with this rom but I am having an issue adding widgets. When I try to add one, the 'Settings' force closes. Things I have tried:

- Cleared cache on phone and cache/dalvik in SS

- deleted Aviate and re-installed (including the folders created on my SD card)

- installed on my wifes phone (it works perfectly)

- ran Fix Permissions in SS

- clean installed rom again

- installed on another rom (worked fine)

Any one able to help on any of these?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
Will there be a NG8?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
As for #1 the app is located in system/priv app folder.

As for #2 try the search thread feature others have posted fixes for 3rd party launchers you just have to search for them unless someone else can help.

GPS :(

I have a small bug with the rom that prevents it from being my daily driver.. I can get a GPS lock when i use maps.. but the second i try to use navigation it wont lock and it wont follow me and give me directions.

Any way to fix this? i really love everything else on the rom, but i really need gps for work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Friedrich420 hasn't even released it yet lol.

I guess it depends on how many people request it even though the jrkruse's patch would work I'm sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cplking:
Ok I found an issue with the stock touchwiz home. Anytime I try to change the font or even download an app from the market the touchwiz home force closes and I gotta clear the data for the home to get it going again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Maybe try another launcher or do you have one already? The launcher apk is named different by Sammy so if you try another stock launcher you need to rename the old one with .bak at the end.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
Yeah fingers crossed on the patch!

After a couple of hectic weeks around here I FINALLY got the time to backup and upgrade from v24. With all the gps issues I've had with previous versions I'm happy to report gps lock was quick the first time. No backup and restore of older rooms necessary. So far so good..great rom. Liking the updates/improvements. One thing is driving me nuts. ...and its an s5 thing. How do I get rid of magazines when I swipe right on the home screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] taz1458:
So far this room is freaking awesome. Got 2 minor potential issues. I originally set the lock screen wallpaper as a black and white version of a picture I made. Now when I try to set a different one it doesn't seem to stick. Also, at 1 point I had the clock font changed, but now it's back to default. How do I get it to change with the system font? Thanks For The Awesome rom jds!

Sent from my Verizon S4 using the XDA App
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Press and hold the home screen like you are going to add a widget but hit the settings box then in launcher settings uncheck the my magazines box.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
There are a few ways to change the wallpaper try them all till one sticks as for the clock font idk sorry

This was happening to me as well. ..but the framework.jar from Ambasadii port fixed it...it seems the problem is somewhere is framework2.jar

---------- Post added at 02:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 AM ----------

However I think it also subsequently messed up the signal bar fix and I had to copy the signal strength smali from jds framework2.jar to fix. .signal fix only needs that smali

OK, I've searched all summer for the best S4 ROM packed with tons and tons of S5 features! Oh and the most important part was for it to be perfect (cuz that's how things can be). Hands down, this is the winner!! (28.1)

[MENTION=4304370]jds3118[/MENTION], you're the mean real deal! This version actually impressed me a ton, and to be honest, sorry but I didn't think anyone was gonna be able to stabilize a ROM for the i545 with all these S5 features, look n feel any time soon. I thought winter if lucky. Well, damn u did it, and then some!!! :D So glad you and The Sickness stuck around!! Can't believe how great the battery life is too! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! You are The Man!!:) :) :good:

Glad you're enjoying the Rom my friend!!!

Some screen shots of my S4, or perhaps I should say S5, given that is is now embracing Echoe 28.1, a touch of Sickness, and a hunk of BlackandColors theme V2

This is the framework2.jar that I am currently using it got rid of the contact fc. ..it was also modded for spell check...(i found the mod several months ago...on a spell check thread...dont remember which) you will have to mod SecSettings.apk language.xml to include spell check and then add Google keyboard for the dictionary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Yes definitely... I mean Dan basically cracked something that a multibillion company used to brag about lol, that still blows me away more than how it affects us to be honest. I do suspect this will eventually create a Loki esque bypass for older signed bootloaders such as ours.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NikolaiVolkov:
Not too sound like a newb here but how do I apply this to the phone? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Silassi1:
Use a root explorer copy to system/framework/ and change permission to 0644 (rwrr) u probably should create a folder in root/system called modded first and copy there and change the permission there before copying to system/framework so as to avoid a bootloop. ..

---------- Post added at 09:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------

Create a backup of your original you can easily replace from SS advance file manager if you need to...always create a backup. ..worse case scenario use a file explorer to extract original from original ROM zip

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] robertwhitten87:
Is there a different set of mods we should be using for 28.1? I tried installing the 5x5 launcher with no luck from the same base as the 26.1.:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Yes the s5 mods make the Rom 97% s5 apps and framework most of the Echoe creations mods are s4 based.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chetqwerty:
So, if we apply the faramework2.jar that was linked a bit back in the thread to correct the contacts force close will that affect the s5 mods? Are there any other solutions to the contacts settings force close issue? Petty yes but really the ONLY problem i'm having with this great ROM. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
I believe the modded framework.jar is from a rom with the same s5 mods

Get a lock on whatever rom and clean flash (do not restore) the rom, then use gps app to set configuration to North America and it should work. It's how I resolved that problem for myself.

I'm having my first big problem ever, need help

OK, I have this recovery: OUDhs CWM Touch ReqOvery v1.0.3.5

I checked the MD5 after I put the ECHOE zip on my external SD card and it matched.

I wiped data/factory reset

I wiped cache

I wiped Dalvik Cache

I I wiped system

When I go to flash the zip file, it says:

E: Can't open /external_sd/S4_Echoe_v20_VZW_11April2014.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

I never had to deal with this, and it was a year ago that I did all this stuff to get my Loki'd MDK and until a few minutes ago, Hyperdrive RLS15.

Please tell me what to do? AH oh well I learned a lesson anyway: tread carefully when you don't have time to figure this stuff out.

Anyway, any help will be very appreciated! I am over my head now.

From [MENTION=4714483]daxgirl[/MENTION] in origanal Echoe thread a great explanation ?

Yes, it is kernel related.

1013 is categorised as Partial Wakelock, since by definition it is not a wakelock per say. It is part of "android os" which is a group if kernel related processes that have to do with drivers.

1013 has to do with sound driver. It is increased by the following: screen touch sounds, lock sounds, haptic feedback, social media apps such as viber, WhatsApp, skype, line and so on... it is NOT a battery consuming partial wakelock. It wakes up the phone frequently but it demands very low core clocking speed. It is widely misunderstood in the android community, but in fact is quite harmless. ￼

Hello All,

And I hate asking questions that I know have been already asked in a large thread like this, but I'll save you from having to come up with abuse and give myself some.

I can't search myself out of a paper bag and don't really deserve to touch an S4 let alone own one. Why don't I just get an IPhone and be done with these very complex Android devices.

Now that this is out of the way..

I for the life of me can't find a way to turn on emergency notification on my phone. With Russia getting all uppity, I want to be notified quickly by the pres that Vodka prices are going to go up.

Anyone know how I can turn on Emergency notification? I believe that it's supposed to be in the settings for the messenger app, but in some threads they were describing an app that allowed you to set it up.

Can anyone help an old paranoid feeling left out of the party guy who wants to know when the dust storms are rolling in over Phoenix?

Thanks and yes.. I am helpless.
