Sorry to hear that. It's gotta be your proximity sensor. I think you can test it with apps or in Dev settings but I've never had to do it

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 PM ----------

Interestingly I haven't been able to select "bill to my account" when purchasing from the play store since flashing this ROM. I don't know if that is related at all but I don't I've heard of anyone else having that problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Raymondlikesroot:
well, I had that problem too but i found out that my screen protector was a bit in the way so removing that solved the issue. However, I have found that even a slight shadow on my prox sensor would affect the call screen. Try cleaning the outside. If still no good, you might have to clean it on the inside. I've heard other people open up the s4 to do that. Just google s4 proximity sensor
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marbertshere:
I think you can use tasker to keep the screen on while in call as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rrrrrrredbelly:
If its the proximity sensor, there's a paid app in the play store (think it's $2) called "s4 sensors" that solved it for me.

My phone was the same way on most aosp roms, phone went black whenever i was on a call regardless of where the phone was in relation to my face.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] srut2000:
Has anyone ever tried applying this method to the CyanogenMod rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gmmorrell:
The $2 app S4 Sensors by DaGentooBoy fixed my black screen during calls. Thank you so much. Well worth $2.

According to the app, the sensor should read anywhere from 0 to 255. Mine doesn't read less than 75 which must mess up the phone's understanding of how close anything is.

This app doesn't fix the sensor but resets some values in the phone so it understands the range is now (in my case) 75 - 255. Effectively fixing my problem.

Anyone know how to get back to stock NC5 from this? I tried to flash the NC5 full wipe tar from Surge's thread, but i keep getting an error saying Complete(Write) operation failed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bamige1:
I dont think so, You could try it yourself, but expect problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RickGrimes411:
Odin 3.09 never worked for me. I believe I had to use 3.07 to get back to stock. Give an older version a shot.

Im trying to install 4.4.4 on top of 4.3.3 update, but everytime it fails on safestrap 3.75 rom slot 1. I am using the newest safestrap version btw. Please help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marbertshere:
Use SS 3.72 and flash to the stock ROM slot. I believe there are instructions in the op.

---------- Post added at 05:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 AM ----------

You're not trying to flash it in recovery are you? I don't think you should have any problems with ODIN . I used version 3.09.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] danveB:
[MENTION=5736922]marbertshere[/MENTION] thank you. Actually, i am trying to install using ss 3.75 because i want to use the new rom slot. If anyone has tried installing successfully 4.4.4 on newest safestrap please let me know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bryannn29:
I can confirm that pfizzle's method worked for me as well. I went ahead and proceeded to update to 4.4.4 using the original directions provided (although I did not flash the NC5 modem, instead I flashed the modules) and no problems so far. Everything is working so far including WiFi, Mobile Data, etc. I was coming from Eclipse TW v4.0.2 on SS 3.72. I also came from the NC5 OTA using the towel root method.

EDIT: Forgot to say thanks, Rick! Your directions were very clear and concise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Blue:
I cannot get this to work. I wiped with odin to nc5 then I followed your steps and when I boot up my service is off. No 4g no thing just says no service. I followed everything in your tut exactly and it won't work for some reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
How do the APN settings work? Could someone just make a zip for verizon that we can all flash? Is that possible? :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pfizzle:
Does anyone know how to get the TouchWiz gs4 camera and gallery back? My searches came up with old threads saying that they are tied with the TouchWiz framework and not possible, but I wanted to ask in here as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JeeperDon:
I doubt you could get it to work. Samsung really dorks over the code from Google, even totally under the covers stuff that seems to have no reason to change, like the boot animation file names and formats (?). I would believe it near impossible to easily integrate any Samsung app into AOSP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
the picasa gallery app and google camera app are actually pretty good at least i think so. I really think the google camera is better than the TW one atleast lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
is this rom smooth enough to be a daily driver? not many issues? :confused::victory:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] viceversa:
Does MMS work as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pfizzle:
Yup,, works perfect for me. Just follow the instructions in the op for the mms fix and you'll be good

No issues for me so far
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Android5ever:
What do you mean the modules?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] michaelg117:
I'm having the issue where you must soft reboot for WiFi to work after every hard reboot on 4.4.3, was there any fix to this? I tried modules and it disabled WiFi all together.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bryannn29:
I meant the WiFi modules. It's what you flash after you install a ROM via Safestrap so that the WiFi functions properly.

Here's a link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52608799&postcount=2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RickGrimes411:
There is no fix for this. We just have to deal with it. It also affects the AT&T users in the ROM thread so it has nothing to do with the modules as they are using different ones than us. I linked the ROM thread in my instructions. I put it below for your convenience. They talk about this quite a bit. Keep an eye out in there for possible fixes if there ever are any.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2767026
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RickGrimes411:
Once you fix the MMS APN and turn SElinux to permissive there are no huge issues. Yea you gotta soft reboot every once in a while to get WiFi working. Also MTP doesn't work so you can't transfer files VIA USB. The soft reboot doesn't bother me and I use ES File Explorer to transfer files to my computer over WiFi. I have been using it for over a week and I will never go back to Touchwiz ROM's. The fact you can install Xposed Framework and use GravityBox pretty much gives you all the customization of Hyperdrive on AOSP. If you get a few more modules you can do much more than Hyperdrive. Not to diss hyperdrive it is an awesome ROM. But its not AOSP.

So to answer your question. This ROM is smooth enough to be a daily driver. There are some issues but none are deal breakers at least for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JeeperDon:
I've been keeping up with the progress here and think I'll have another go in a few hours when I get home to power. I'd really like to be on AOSP. My three+ years before the S4 was on Nexus phones, so I'm used to ROMs being simple and my way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RickGrimes411:
If you view your apns-conf.xml on your phone is there a bunch of other carrier stuff or is it all Verizon? It should start looking like this.

<!-- This version must agree with that in apps/common/res/apns.xml -->

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RickGrimes411:
If you flash this http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23486521113837640 after you flash the ROM I think that will take care of your WiFi issue. I think the other link I provided to make WiFi work caused your issue. I got confused with modem and module. Still not exactly sure what the difference is but this link is the exact same one I flashed. I updated the instructions to reflect this

Yes it's all Verizon I followed the steps exactly and it won't work. It just says No service then emergency calls only. I reboot and still the same thing

Tried Pfizzles method at first boot i had cell service no wifi. Then I whiped and flashed again nothing. Then whiped flashed 3rd time using NC2 modules fix had wifi but no service lol so idk whats up lol looks great though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] michaelg117:
I had this happen, I fixed it by adding the network mode toggle through gravity box, holding on it to get to the settings for it, And then making sure one of the options was LTE(recommended)

I'm currently running Super Nexus 4.4.4 on rom slot 1 and Echoe on stock-rom. Along with Chaos on rom slot 2 with the newest SS 3.75 from Muniz_RI
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marbertshere:
Sure. I actually haven't really stayed up to date with SS development. I was under the assumption that if you are on the S4 and KitKat you're supposed to use 3.72. I read somewhere that 3.75 is for S5 users. Is there a new version of SS that supports multiple ROM slots?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
yup, it's 3.75 for us. someone took it upon themselves to update it I guess.

Other AOSP ROMs?

Is there any other AOSP roms that have been converted this way? I am really craving cyanogenmod.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
no. the only ROMs that can be converted this way are Safestrap Google Play Edition ROMs. this process has actually existed for a long time but the ROMs were never really functional enough for people to use until now.

cyanogenmod can't be used because its code is seperate from AOSP/GPE code and it runs on its own kernel, and without its kernel and other system files it won't function.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SnyderGuy:
Ah, okay. I see that you use eclipse.

Do you run it on stock slot or rom slot x? And how smooth is it? Would it be possible (and stable) to rip into eclipse's systemui.apk, take out the notification drawer, and rip it into the hyperdriverls19's systemui.apk? I love hyperdrive, but the only thing I don't like about it is the touchwiz notification drawer (aosp is so nice), and the touchwiz lock screen (aosp again). Could this be done?

Or should I just quit hyperdrive and go to eclipse. There are a few things I love about hyperdrive:

1) smooth with amazing battery life (30hours on passive full charge, 10~ hours screen time full charge)

2) Customizable, with the aroma installer with many different changes, and also that lock button at the top right of the status bar.

3) themeable, deodexed, etc,

4) comes with busy box, supersu, and xposed by default

5) can switch between carriers in aroma installer (tmobile, at&t, verizon)

If you have used both I would love some feedback.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
I'm too lazy to change out my safestrap to the new one so I run it on the stock slot. it's pretty smooth all things considered. and Eclipse is a touchwiz ROM, just themed to look like AOSP. the lockscreen is a themed touchwiz option, with only the insecure slide to unlock function being themed. the notification drawer is aosp though.

I have used hyperdrive but I just don't like touchwiz, not throwing flak at Sbreen or anything, but I just prefer a clean, AOSP-like experience. also how the heck do you get 10 hours of screen on time? replacement battery? I've only ever gotten 4.5/5 hours. ever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marbertshere:
I'm sad that you went back to eclipse .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SnyderGuy:
I have greenified like every single app. Maybe that's the cause. What I have noticed is that at high altitudes (mountains) the battery dies fast. Don't think that is my fault though.

What about eclipse's secure lock? Is it anything like the AOSP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
nope, doesn't allow for widgets either so you're stuck with the Samsung clock widget
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Vonologic:
So I followed this guide word for word, worked great on updating my Galaxy S4, thanks a ton...

Can anyone point me to a similar ROM rather than the one linked in the OP? The wifi is REALLY dodgy (barely works for me at all, regardless of restarts). Also it seems like some of my texts are delayed for some reason...I don't receive my texts as soon as they're sent to me sometimes even though I connect to LTE just fine.

Yes you would still have to replace apns. The GPE and pure nexus roms are AT&T. I plan on trying the supernexus tonight if I have time. Both should work in theory because they were made to work with safestrap.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brd912:
3.75
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Raymondlikesroot:
I think the dev already got 3.75 rom slots working quite fine. Well i go back to my original advice then. Try and start from a freshly wiped s4 and root and download safestrap. Oh yeah are you on an upgraded mk2 to nc5? My phone is an mk2 but I partially upgraded to nc5. I found that 3.75 doesn't work too well for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Do you know which kernel you are on?

If I remember correctly 4.4 rom's will generally not boot on the mk2(4.3) kernel. You need to flash the NC5 or NG6 kernel via Odin before trying to run a 4.4 rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sinner822:
Have not had a problem on your 3.75 with a mk2 stock and slot1. Slot one the only issue is reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brd912:
So even if I'm on NC5 my kernal may not be?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Correct, even though your system may have an NC5 build your other partitions may have other versions installed. I have seen some crazy set-up's lately, e.g. MK2 bootloader, NG6 baseband, NC5 apnhlos, etc, etc. It's nuts and this seems to be the cause of the varying user experiences on any given ROM. IMO as long as the latest firmware is rootable I do not see any advantage to remaining on earlier firmware versions (unless you are on a loki exploitable version).

I think someone mentioned earlier that you pick a base, i.e. NC5 or NG6, and flash via Odin to make certain you get to a starting point where all partitions match. Here is the NG6 full-wipe .tar: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/i545vrufng6-4-4-2-wipe-odin-tar-t2924999

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brd912:
Gotcha. Let me ask you this, do you think it's possible to use one of the mobile flashing apps to flash the kernal like rashr or maybe mobile odin? I had to sell my laptop last week :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
I believe some have reported flashing stock kernel via mobile odin but I would not recommend it. At best it will trip your knox warranty flag or worse hardbrick your phone.

Maybe a bad download? Did you do anything with the 4.4.4 zip besides replacing apns?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 06sharpshot:
Nope all I did was replace apns. There wasn't an md5 for me to check so it's possible the download was the issue. I'll redownload both files and see if it fixes it but I have a feeling that safestrap 3.75 may be the issue unfortunately and I'm not sure I want to flash an unfinished rom without the stock slot to fall back on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RickGrimes411:
I did a Google search for the error " assert failed:getprop("ro.product. device") and it seems to be an issue with the buildprop in the zip. Essentially the device listed in the buildprop isn't matching up with your phone so it errors out to prevent a brick. So I'd lean towards a bad download since the buildprop for 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 should be the same
