Thanks for the reply. Now I'm back to denying permissions...
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] mrbigdrawsz:
I'm a serial Rom Flasher and keep trying to find something new that catches my attention. I've flashed them ALL! I flash every day and every nightly update.

I HATE YOU VANIR FOR BEING THE PERFECT ROM. You're beginning to make it useless for me to flash new stuff all the time and you're killing one of my hobbies. :(

Great work guys!
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] BossMan809:
Ok so I'm on the stock 4.3 ROM. To flash this I back up, wipe cache, dalvik, flash ROM, then gapps and then reboot? I have a Tmo S4
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] mrbigdrawsz:
Do a full wipe. If you're using TWRP, you'll be fine just doing their wipe...won't wipe your contents or your SDCard. All other steps are right.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] ks3rv3rg:
Checkout the Vanir thread in the T-Mobile forum.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] BossMan809:
I'm using Touch recovery version 6.0.3 or something like that. That's how I flashed 4.3 recently

Anybody having force closes with Google voice search/Google now after searching for something?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] mrtruckincowboy:
My beautiful widgets app keeps fc
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] bgibs1:
search and theres a fix... im mobile so i cant link it for you
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] mrbigdrawsz:
Yup... Getting the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] ks3rv3rg:
Should be fixed in the next build or two.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Triscuit:
Awesome thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] usmcamgrimm:
Is there no option to enable the nav bar? Not something I would normally use but I thought I would try it out. Can't seem to find it though
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] ks3rv3rg:
Nav bar controls haven't been added on devices that don't natively use the nav bar.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] usmcamgrimm:
That would explain it then lol

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] asf1187:
the app polyfauna hasn't been working well. the accelerometer doesn't seem to work, the tilting and turning don't work
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] josephpalozzi:
good things in the works?

Looks like they are unifying the builds for all the S4's. Can't wait to see that changelog.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] ks3rv3rg:
Haha, yep. The universal device tree is going to become the norm for sure. Although that still doesn't mean devices without native navigation bar will get one.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] smashtheguitar:
Any ETA at all on when we might be seeing the next build?

PS~ Many thanks for everyone's efforts in putting it together.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] usmcamgrimm:
The new build is up...

[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] mrbigdrawsz:
Google Search is still crashing with the newest build. Anybody else getting this?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] mcconvict:
Did you try deleting it out of priv-app then redownloading from the play store?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] mrbigdrawsz:
Yup. Still crashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] mrtruckincowboy:
Ok so lte data shuts off while in call now. Not supposed to on vzw

Anybody else getting horrible GPS signal lock? It will figure out where I am for a moment every few minutes but that's it. Running 2/18 build
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] ks3rv3rg:
Sprint folks reporting similar.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] ks3rv3rg:
On that note, this is a great time to use the bug report feature as the unified build may lead to unexpected issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Triscuit:
Yep! That was my next plan of action. I've been at work since 1 so I haven't had time to fill one out!

Edit: I'm going to flash latest first before I do a report.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] josephpalozzi:
Default Dialer

Firstly, does any one use a 3rd party dialer (like Dialer One. or GrooveIP, or Skype)? And if so, do you have any issues with Vanir recognizing your default selection?

For months now (both clean flashing and dirty flashing) Vanir asks me to choose a default program when clicking any telephone number even after I have made a selection. App manager will show that the app has a "default" status because it will ask if I want to clear defaults. OS keeps asking for every new link though.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] natec003:
2/20 build seems good. Not using it traveling, but GPS got like 13 satellites and was within 16 ft. Within like 5 seconds of opening the app. Sitting in a brick house
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Triscuit:
Hmmm thanks for the info. I just flashed 2/20 and I'm still not getting a lock. I'll have to go back tonight and do a clean flash. P.S. what app do you use....GPS stats?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] natec003:
Used GPS Status and Toolbox. I'll be trying Nav out tomorrow, but it went straight into navigation with turn by turn right off the bat. Using Google maps. Clean flash
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Atheron121:
GPS lock

you can try adding these to gps.conf...

NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=us.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=0.us.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=1.us.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=2.us.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=3.us.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=0.north-america.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=1.north-america.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=2.north-america.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=3.north-america.pool.ntp.org

Once added, restart phone to apply and try the map / nav again. The first line is actually there, but is eddited out (#), so removing the pound sign should do the trick for that...
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Triscuit:
Thanks for the help....still nothing though :(
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] -Michael_:
i got mine going by making a backup, odin backup to mdk and doing that dance. Then restoring my backup of this rom. Not only Locks, but quick quick
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Atheron121:
Well, we tried. Oh, to add another stick in the wheel, it seems that once I disabled GPS and then re-enabled, it went offline, and would not come back no matter what GPS tool I tried

Just re-flashed one of the versions that were available prior to pre-unifications ones. Hoping that will resolve the issue.

EDIT: Just installed the newest build (2/21) and checked Location settings - Location is turned on by default in the Settings apparently, but I could not enable it via the quick settings button (where it WAS turned off) until I disabled it in full settings. Then the quick settings button turns the Location on / off without a hitch. The map location lock also works fine afterward.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] mrbigdrawsz:
Can someone give me a quick rundown on what "Floating Mode" is? I'm assuming it's your version of multi-window. I can't seem to get it to work. I long press on an app in recent app view and see the option. I choose it but nothing happens.

Help would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] vt0r:
Since I'm a lazy sysadmin and hate multiple reboots, I created an extremely simple flashable zip that deletes /system/etc/init.d/00kernelcompat.

It can be flashed in any order (kernel first, then custom kernel prep zip or vice versa) as long as my zip gets flashed after the Vanir zip.

Since the file will get replaced upon each Vanir flash, nightly updaters will need to flash this zip as part of their "daily regimen" which already includes Vanir + kernel.

I've attached the zip to this post for anyone who's interested.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] joey3002:
HUGE thanks vt0r!!
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Triscuit:
Oh dude thank you so much!! I've been wanting something like this!
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] dougmod:
Does anyone know if there is an option to disable the navigation ring? Also, if we want to turn on the navbar, is there a way to disable the physical back button? 2/23 build is fast as hell
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] smashtheguitar:
Ha, I created something similar so that I could stick with Ktoonz's kernel. Mine also replaces the bootanimation and a few other things, though. Nice work!
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] vt0r:
Nice. I have my own that adds my custom init scripts, etc, but I stripped that stuff out to make it useful for all after I realized how tedious the second reboot (or adb removal) is.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Crossoverdoc:
Here's an extremely odd issue. I was on a slightly older Vanir nightly for some time with no issue. One morning I woke up with problems sending texts. I could only send one text, then I would have to reboot to send another. I clean flashed different builds, tries different kernels, even restored to an earlier Vanir backup and the problem followed me. I had to restore to a TW ROM, there were zero problems there. It seems like such a bizarre problem and I really find it hard to believe that it's related to the ROM, but I gotta post it somewhere. Insight would be appreciated, but not expected. ﻿
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Triscuit:
Ohhhh GPS, why do you hate me?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Atheron121:
Have you tried turning off Location in settings, then going to Quicksettings and enabling it there?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Triscuit:
Yea I've tried all the tricks. Its been happening since the unified builds. My problem is that I haven't been seeing anyone else having the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Atheron121:
Is this with a clean install?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Triscuit:
I always wipe system/cache/dalvik. I thought a full clean install (data/system/cache) would work but I tried that also. My last resort is odin to stock and redo everything, but I don't want to have to do that lol
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Atheron121:
Do you have a backup of pre-uni install that you can re-image, and then go the usual route of updating to latest? Before you go the Odin way.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Triscuit:
No :(
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Mightycaptain:
You might not have to Odin. Just flash hyperdrive or Nitro's mdk touchwiz ROM and get a lock.

That's worked for me in the past.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] josephpalozzi:
I was going to suggest that too. There is a nice Google Play Edition KK build as well that should work.

I forget what issue I was having a while back, but I copied my internal memory and SD card to my computer's HD, nuked everything, placed a ROM back on the SD card and went from there. It fixed the issue and I got rid of all the orphaned files and folders from who knows how many flashes.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Triscuit:
Thanks guys, I'll try this, I have to get a touchjizz rom running soon anyways. The only time I run TW is when I go to concerts because of the far superior camera interface.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Mightycaptain:
Then I definitely say Nitro's. Smallest tw ROM by far. But still the great camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] mrtruckincowboy:
This rom is finally complete for me navbar on a super fast rom.. You guys are the best
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] dougmod:
Is there a way to disable the capacitive buttons? I see the menu button action, but can't find the back button option
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] mrbigdrawsz:
Proximity Sensor not functioning on March 1st build. Anybody else having this issue? Screen stays on during calls.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] usmcamgrimm:
A few people have posted issues with sensors on the G+ community
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] namedkwon:
Plus one on this. Additionally, the Auto-Rotate isn't working in the 3/1/2014
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] dougmod:
Same here no proximity sensor
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Triscuit:
Thank you so much!! This actually worked for me!
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Mightycaptain:
Glad that worked. Lot less work than odin. It's unfortunate but sometimes necessary to have a good TouchWiz nandroid.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] joey3002:
Where did app permissions go? I have a few apps that I like to turn off gps for.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] 808phoneaddict:
Wow that's a lot of sensors not working... This is from an old 4.3 TouchWiz rom...
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] skaman9876:
I'm having the same exact issue. wont lock onto satellites.... pretty frustrating looks like i'll have to mess around with it to fix it as well
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Triscuit:
Well I was having the GPS woes as well until MightyCaptain gave me the advice to flash a touchwizz ROM (I ended up using Nitro's ROM from his website) let it boot and go get a GPS lock. Then go back to recovery and wipe everything and restore your nandroid of vanir......profit?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Triscuit:
Also sensors are all fixed on 3/2 build
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] usmcamgrimm:
DHO also said he fixed the GPS issue
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] kvswim:
Is there a way to disable the navigation ring? I find it annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] namedkwon:
All fixed, except the "orientation" sensor for me!

Do anyone know how to have the navigation bar look seemless with the launcher? It's just like a black bar like the old jelly bean days..
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Triscuit:
Anyone have any luck flashing a custom kernel on the 3/5 nightly?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Efrenjr15:
Nope constant fc.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Triscuit:
OK I figured someone had already tried.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Crossoverdoc:
Gonna flash the latest nightly soon and see if I can send SMS. Last few builds I've tried I couldn't. Can't understand the problem..
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Efrenjr15:
MMS is jacked up keep getting APN not specified for device.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Atheron121:
Battery Drain

The 3/5 build drained my battery to 42% in 11.5 hours of idle.

Just throwing it out there. First time that ever happened on this ROM, with any previous builds.

I just updated to 3/6, hope the battery drain will go away. ROM is awesome aside from that one glitch, THANK YOU TO THE DEVELOPERS AND CONTRIBUTORS!!!

[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Atheron121:
Just as a "What if?" I restored to my backup image from 2/24, and I was able to send/receive MMS without a problem. Ran the update to 3/6, and getting "APN not specified" message again. Maybe something, maybe nothing...
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Crossoverdoc:
Running 3/5 and it's working great. Only problem is that auto rotate has been acting funny. Sometimes I'll have to toggle it off and on to get it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Atheron121:
Incidentally, contacted Verizon CS, was told after a couple of basic troubleshooting steps that I would need to wipe the phone to factory defaults.

In my experience, I've been able to flash up to 2/28 build with MMS still working and no APN issues, then everything I've applied after that date seems to break the MMS. Again, just my experience.

Update:

Just installed 3/7 build, MMS is once again broken. Can anyone confirm MMS is working/not working for them? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] gordo2212:
Anyone else having ktweaker force closing on them repeatedly? Happens to me on dirty and clean flash.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Triscuit:
Have you tried clearing the apps data and starting fresh?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Efrenjr15:
Yea I'm sticking to 3-1 build but I'll need to do down a few builds as to 3-1 build the auto rotate sensor is borked and well the weekend is here and I need my sensors to work so I can control my quad rc drone.

Seems like the APN issue is not only affecting us but many other ROMs out. Pretty sure a fix is soon to be found just have to wait it out a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] smashtheguitar:
I'm using the 3/7 build and the latest Ktoonz kernel with a clean flash (wiped data, system cache, etc) and the ktweaker app and auto-rotate is working fine for me. I know that doesn't help you much, but it might be that you have to do a full clean up to get things up and running again. At least clear the app's data cache.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] TMYINC:
Sometimes deleting the ktweaker folder on the sdcard helps. Try that and reboot and see if it helps. You will have to re-download profiles again but would be worth a try.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] gordo2212:
This worked, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] TMYINC:
That's awesome. No problem. Happy to help.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] crossen0:
I saw randomly and it helped me too! It had be plaguing me for a while so I just gave up, until I saw this! Thanks man!
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] plantroller:
Has anybody gotten MMS to work on the 3-8 build and if so how. Clean install also
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] kvswim:
Just flashed 3/10 and I'm having this problem also. "no APN specified on this device". Worked fine on 3/1.

EDIT: Seems to be across multiple devices, not just the S4 and its roms. Saw threads for toroplus, S3, moto droid. I think the issue is from recent changes to CM, which is affecting everyone because a lot of roms are based on it. CM Code review is apparently aware of the issue http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/60697/ it's just a matter of time before they fix it
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] plantroller:
Thanks for the heads up
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] vt0r:
MMS is working fine for me, but I changed my default text app to TextSecure.

I suppose the reason it works is because it has you input MMS connection details in its own configuration.

EDIT - forgot to mention I'm running the latest nightly.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] cryogenic666:
I'm on a different ROM but I had the same issue. If you use Textra, going in and checking "Manually Configure APN" under MMS settings fixes the issue. Seems there are no APN settings in the latest commits and a third party app that can set its own is required.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] mrtruckincowboy:
Pandora and i heart radio won't stream music anybody else on 3/10

I put the apn settings in manually and it works great now. I'm not latest nightly.

MMSC "http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms"

Just name verizon
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] kvswim:
Can you tell us exactly what you did? eg what profile and what field you put that into?

Edit: Modified my LTE - Verizon Internet profile and placed that link in the MMSC field. No go.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] jamesiaustin:
I went into hangouts and hit menu

Then go settings. Then sms. Then access points names.

Hit the + at top

Name verizon

Mmsc http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms

I didn't set port or proxy

Mcc 310

Mac 007

If the last 2 are already set just try without changing. I didn't have to change those 2. I hope this helps everyone out.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Atheron121:
MMS

Just FYI to all, MMS seems to be fixed in the 3/14 build - AWESOME JOB to the developers!!!

Where to?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Triscuit:
To here, it used to be in Original Development
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] ks3rv3rg:
May be worth making a bug report. It is quite strange. I'll look into it as well. The link to make a report is at the top of the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] ahoslc:
Did you use the instructions there or just hit install on APK then reboot and worked? Just looking for easiest method to get it working since there seem to be a ton !
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] mcconvict:
Come to think of it I do need to re add WiFi passwords. Not a big deal.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] ks3rv3rg:
I unzipped the ...zip... on my phone, installed the apk for 4.x, once installed it told me it needed to install driver and reboot phone. After that all works great. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] ahoslc:
Sounds good thank anyone using ART since they have enabled it?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] ks3rv3rg:
I flash the qualcom optimized davlik. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] ahoslc:
Any reason you choose that over ART?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] ks3rv3rg:
1. Stable

2. Better performance

3. (not that it matters) better benchmarks.

Really stability is the most important for me. I strive to have a stable DD. The qualcomm davlik really makes a noticeable difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] ahoslc:
Are you flashing both files or just one?

Also looking at OctoOs thread they have a Dalvik-Enhanced packages Gapps I wonder if this could further improve on speed?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] ks3rv3rg:
I just flash the Davlik zip not the Bionic.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Triscuit:
I noticed that in the features list in the OP it shows something about the bionic and dalvik optimizations, does vanir already have them baked in?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] ks3rv3rg:
Also, so everyone knows- Devs are currently looking into wifi and google account stuff not properly restoring. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] ks3rv3rg:
I'm actually not 100% sure. Knowing the Vanir team they've made some of their own custom modifications but i'll find out for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Crossoverdoc:
Coming across a problem where my screen flickers whenever I begin typing in sms, email, twitter, anywhere. I'm gonna try wiping and clean flashing once more to see if that fixes it.. Never seen this issue before.

I've found when I don't change lpa.decode, most of the time the driver won't enable while playing music, so I just do it to keep it from happening.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] amosavitas:
agreed, especially for play music, whereas for poweramp and other non streaming utilities the viper drivers seem process immediately without the build prop tweaks.

Christ almighty, how's that for a mangled post?... my bad
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] ks3rv3rg:
Well that's weird. I've never experienced that either. What build are you on?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] ks3rv3rg:
I see. So as in opening viper while you already have something playing? I think I may opened viper, then played music, then adjusted the eq/settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Triscuit:
While music is playing go to the viper app, hit menu, and then driver status. If all is working well you will see processing: yes
