I'm Running HD 16.1 4.4.2 on, MDK, with full unlocked bootloader, original S4, with NC5 modem.

Let me know if there is anything else. It's actually a work phone, work for a large corporation, and am a huge fan of the phone, process lots of calls and lot's of emails.

Actually last two weeks ago, had had enough with HD 16.1 and could not get it working after ODIN all the back to stock and re-rooting and the whole process, must have done it at leat 4 times and still was having huge FC issues with 16.1 and I'm pretty sure VVM, so I called IT and told them I'm done and want a new phone, went to Verizon, picked up a HTC M8 One, had it for less than 5 days and returned it. Just could not be productive with it. Went back to the S4 and started over again, and finally got 16.1 to stick. Was getting ready to drop back to 10.2 just to keep the S4. Been on HD since the first release.

Lucky, our company has a very cool IT guy, and we have literally over 600+ phones lines just with Verizon, that's not counting At&T.

Updated it. But hasn't been tested on 4.4.2 only confirmed on 4.3- now a zip file. Head over to OP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] therobzilla:
Is there a reason why it would not work on 4.4.2?

Before I completely screw up my setup now, just curious?

Thanks for your time and effort.

Rob
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
It may work. Or may not. I don't have KitKat to test it with. If I were you, I wouldn't flash it until running a complete backup, that's all...ya know, just like anything else u try on here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
Edited it. New method is for TouchWiz. Read the details on the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
Standby...

Hyperdrive 16.1 (4.4.2) is being tested now...check back here for results
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
Currently has a bug. May just need a newer version of vvm to work with for 4.4.2

Working perfectly with TW 4.3 tho
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] therobzilla:
Not having the same success, can only listen to the message once, once it goes to heard it's has to, like you said saved offline.

However it's causing something again to FC both dialer and Contacts.

Tried it twice now.

4.4.2 on HD 16.1

Thanks for all your help!

I'll keep waiting.

Rob
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
Damn. Thanks for trying this! I'm not sure why there are those FC's. Try using a different dialer to see if it does it still?

Try EXdialerfor now? That should fix that. I'm actually trying to get my hands on the latest official Verizon Visual Voicemail app from kit kat 4.4.2 so I can test it and see if I can solve these bugs. I've even PM'd someone hoping they'd send it to me. Haha. Basically begged. We'll see. If u have access to the apk, please let me know! The latest version of the voicemail apk I can find is 2.3.00

Don't worry! We'll make it thru this! ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] therobzilla:
I think I can get my hands on the version you are wanting, let me see what I can do

Rob
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] therobzilla:
Bob,

I think this is the 4.4.2 apk for VVM. Not positive what it came from, but found it on XDA

Installed KitKat version.. VVM set up perfectly and worked... for a bit... then got FC on Phone App.. Sorry.. Wish it could've worked out..

See my phone specs in my signature.

I appreciate your hard work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
Any mods to your System at all? (Like The Sickness or so

Did u try fixing permissions?

Was it on a fresh install?

Sorry for the delayed reaction!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dark_overload:
I think the dialer FC has something to do with intents. Check the logcat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckarrow2:
No mods at all. Set correct permissions.

My ROM is NOT a fresh install. I'll try again once I get some time to do a new install.

Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
HERE ARE 2 METHODS YOU CAN TRY IF HAVING AN ISSUE!

I looked at the ROM you're on. I'm wondering if it isn't working properly because of it not having the Verizon sec.phone.apk and sec.contacts.apk files (which you should be able to simply swap out) Below are the files from Verizon TW 4.4.2- NC5

sec.contacts.apk <--- DOWNLOAD!!

or

sec.phone.apk <--- DOWNLOAD!!

********************************************************************

Or you may be able to fix the issue with a quick build.prop edit (even though I'm not completely sure this would cause that).

If you'd like to try the build.prop edit, here are the steps:

BEFORE THIS STEP, REMOVE Voicemail app if installed!;)

•Open root explorer

•Go to system, and change permission to it r/w

•Then inside the system folder, find

"build.prop"(.txt)

•Open build.prop with text editor

•Inside, find the line that says

ro.HorizontalVVM = true

CHANGE true to "false" (No quotes)

•Next, find the line that says

ro.HorizontalBUA = true (may not exist, but look closely!)

CHANGE true to "false" (No quotes)

•SAVE text edit

Reboot into recovery and flash proper vvm zip file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dark_overload:
I am on a system with that line in the build.prop by default and still get the FC. Swapping the dialer and contacts fixes it, but no more international black dialer. :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
OK cool. So, have u ever tried ExDialer? There are lots of different skins and themes too. It's worth checking out;)

Good to know the dialer and contacts apps fixed it though! Thanks for the feedback!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dark_overload:
No problem. No I haven't tried that dialer but I try to stay as stock as possible system-wise. :) I have heard of it though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
OK, well...if black is that important to ya, just saying, u can get it by using that. I actually prefer it because it has a lot more options than the stock for both dialer and contacts...more shortcuts and all...things like that. Anyways, thanks for giving this a shot!;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
Has anyone tried this on an AOSP ROM?

Please leave feedback if so:)

Thanks!

Sorry, I'm not sure. I would assume so...I don't wanna promise anything though. You may end up with contact FC's...but if you have a backup, give it a shot!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chrisf8657:
I'm glad this got posted to help others out.

It took me 4 days of hair pulling and asking for someone to please fix it before I came across replaicng secphone and seccontacts.apk on my own with the stock Verizon versions, and that fixed it. Glad to see someone else figured it out to :)

Now if someone can fix the international dialer to work, that would be great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
Just used a themed one...its all because you want it dark, right?

No issues with FC'ing in Dialer/Contacts using it and the latest VVM on Hyperdrive 17.1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcvoss:
For the life of me I can't keep the contacts from FCing when I open the phone app. I replaced the phone and contact apks with the ones in the initial post, orginal and dark themed. and fixed permissions, cleared dalvik but still no go.I am running Hyperdrive 17.1.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
Strange...I personally had that running fine on Hyperdrive 17.1 a couple times. I'm wondering if you are using a mod that effects the contacts/dialer, either from the hyperdrive hub or with an Xposed module???

Ya know, if u have a backup, I think it'll be worth trying to install it immediately after flashing Hyperdrive 17.1...so flash the ROM again fresh, DON'T reboot, then flash the KitKat vvm zip from the OP and boot up. See what that does, I'm 99% sure you'll be fine. If not, u have a backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cowbell_Guy:
Should this work on an aosp 4.4.4 rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cowbell_Guy:
Just tested, and it doesn't
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
Nope, sorry it doesn't. However, I have had luck on a couple different AOSP ROMs with installing the Nexus Visual Voicemail app. I wish I could remember which ROMs they were (from last year) that I had the success with:/ Give it a shot! Please let me know if so:) Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcvoss:
I have this working on HyperDrive, Thanks. Unfortunately I only see the voice mail if I go into VM and hit refresh. For some reason it doesn't refresh itself when a new VM comes in. For example I can get a VM and I wont see it until I hit refresh in the application. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
I came across this as well. I can't remember exactly what I had to do. I think it had happened while I was in the midst of flashing a new ROM every week...once all the KitKat ROMs started pouring out. It seems that it could be related to permissions or something?? Maybe not.

Did you end up flashing it the recommended way, with installing VVM immediately after flashing Hyperdrive? If I'm not mistaken, the latest Hyperdrive may even have VVM included in aroma now...not positive.

As a quick fix, I wonder if you used a kind of sync-control app, setting VVM to sync/refresh every 30min or something, maybe this could work. However, I'm sure there's a more convenient fix for this issue. Maybe someone can chime in here with their input as well.

I'm no longer with Verizon, so I cannot do any testing for you unfortunately. I just recently switched over to the G3 with T-Mobile.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TRB01:
Hey, thanks for the VVM zip. I installed it and logged into my account and everything worked great. Contacts app is fine but the phone app crashes saying 'Contacts has stopped' or something. I copied over the SecPhone.apk and SecContacts_OSup.apk into /system/priv-apps, overwriting the two there and changed their permissions to 644 like the rest of the files. I cleared the cache/dalvik cache and rebooted but the story is the same, contacts works fine but phone app crashes. Is there anything I can do to get VVM working? I'm on Hyperdrive 19 (KitKat 4.4.2).

EDIT: Tried flashing the international dialer as well to no effect. I'm starting to think its an incompatibility with the ROM itself. Only option I can think of is to reodin NC5 and safe the phone/contacts/vvm apps from there and see if they work. I'm at the end of my rope with this, really need VVM to work and I don't have the option of using 3rd party apps.

EDIT2: I grabbed the odex'd VVM, Contacts, and Phone app from a bone-stock Verizon NC5 install. I deodexed them using the framework files from the phone and copied them over to my phone. I still get the FC when I open the phone app when I have VVM installed. I guess Verizon VVM really is not compatible with Hyperdrive 19 unfortunately. I wish I knew what the problem was though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jhyry:
Extremely rare/strange (probably) issue, and how I fixed it: VVM on 4.4.4

I downloaded the zip, followed this guide, and installed via CWMod on CM11/M10 4.4.4 KitKat snapshot; hardware is an unlocked Droid RAZR M.

Unfortunately, after clearing the data, it still didn't work and was giving me some crazy NoClassDefFoundException for a class called android.util.secutil.Log.

I proceeded to unzip on my machine and snoop around to see if I could figure out how to deal with the issue.

After practically nothing on DuckDuckGo and Google, I came across this: https : / / bitbucket . org / scmsystm / patchrom_i8150

That Android ROM dump/decompilation contained the android.util.secutil package and Log + Slog classes! Woohoo! So I cloned with Git and checked them out.

Unfortunately, they were in the raw smali Dalvik Assembly :(

Upon discovering how to handle smali with the smali/baksmali applications, the syntax from the decompiled DVM bytecode was from a previous version of smali < 2.0, so I went through the smali and repaired the DVM ASM by making it compliant with the new syntax manually (find/replace-all + some actual hand-editing lol).

So I assembled the smali into a dex file, ran dex2jar, and rebuilt the VVM classes.dex file in the VerizonVisualVM APK, then rebuild the APK with aapt after a lot of confusion and trial and error.

The end-result: it worked! A culmination of hours and hours of searching and tinkering.

Not sure anyone else even has this problem, or will ever have this problem, but I've attached a zip equivalent to the original zip, but with the android.util.secutil classes.

Cheers,

Jon

Vibify

Vibify aims to inform you for any pending notifications on your phone. To do that, Vibify does a very small vibration when you pick up your phone. Vibify works only if your phone remains locked and still, saving up as much battery as possible. Select the applications you want to be supported by Vibify and enjoy.

A similar feature is available on some Samsung devices called "Smart Alert", but Vibify offers you even more options and customization.

Thanks for downloading.

Hey could you make it like Acdisplay + Music menu on the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
No screenshot to show us how it looks when one picks up their device to see the notification? You do realize you're competing with well-established apps on the Play Store like Peek & AcDisplay. Grats on the front page recognition, however you offer nothing to interest me. I'm adding this constructive criticism so your app won't get buried in the forum with no recognition like so many others.

Sorry my friend but I am not sure what you mean. You mean to have a special screen at lockscreen? Thank you

Your critisism is more that welcome. Thank you a lot. You are right about the lack of features compering to those apps, but that's why I post it here. XDA community is really great and I know you can all help me with your ideas and thoughts. Thanks again :highfive:

It doesn't require any special kernel. It uses wakelocks but acquires and releases in a way so not to tear off your battery. But of course if you leave your phone with a missed notification still many hours it will drain some battery.

Yes I will, but I am also planning to include an in-app way to add your own applications to the support list.

Thank you soooo much. The icon looks great! So much better than the current one :highfive:

Thank you very much! :victory:
