The silence is deafening.

Just load m9. It's perfect. Eventually you'll lose the urge to Crackflash and enjoy your s4 for what it is (a pretty good 2 year old phone).

There are 4 v*rizon phones out there that 'do it for me'. I just need to figure out which one is the least 'Verizoned'. In really not too anxious though. I like my s4.

Installing Cyanogen on Verizon Galaxy S4

Hello all,

Now that this NG6 update recently pushed to my phone has made it practically unusable, I've decided it might be time to install a custom ROM. Alas, the handy Cyanogen "one-click" installer does not support my phone :( Since I'm new to this and really afraid of bricking my phone, I've come here just to get some assurance.

I've seen this post which gives instructions on how to install, but one thing concerns me. This link from the CM website gives pretty different instructions, and moreover adamantly warns that the build version of your phone must be I545VRUAMDK, which mine is not. Why the discrepancy in instructions?

Why is installing an alternate kernel necessary to obtain a root? Can Towelroot not be used (does that app involve installing an alternate kernel)? Is the motochopper app listed necessary to root the device in a "certain way"? Is the clockwork app the only CM supported app to make a recovery image, or can I use another standard like TWRP? And what part of this process that they list absolutely requires you to be on that build version???

I know, I have no idea what I'm doing. Please advise, or at least point me in the right direction! Also, I know the original post says that asking about rooting is off topic here, but it's only part of my question, and sort of relevant in this case because the official CM installation instructions suggest some kind of compatibility concern.

Many thanks!

I am running CM11 Nightly and the only modification I have made to the actual file system is deleting the DSP Manager apk in system/app because it was taking precedence over other equalizer apps I was trying out. Long story short, I couldn't find an equalizer that boosted the bass correctly as well as the equalizer built into the stock S4 Touchwiz did. So, I reflashed the DSP Manager apk through CWM. Now, neither Google Play Music nor Apollo will play my music on the external SD card. And for my last question, why are no equalizers working correctly with bass boost? When I have either a preset or use the bass booster slider bar in any equalizer (including DSP Manager) it just makes my music crackle. Its not my headphones either, as they worked perfectly on Touchwiz. Thanks in advance for your reply.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Since it sounds like you updated to NG6 via a VZW OTA update CyanogenMOD is unfortunately out of your reach. CM needs a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP and they can only be installed on a GS4 that is running the MDK bootloader. The later versions are locked down and only a SafeStrap compatible ROM can be installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evesira:
Thank you for the response. I actually solved my problems a couple of days ago. I'll post them here for posterity.

Regarding those Cyanogen instructions, they say that you should only attempt this on the MDK build, but they don't say why. Are the particular tools they suggest using incompatible? No, Cyanogen itself is only compatible with the MDK build of the I545 Verizon S4 (US), for the reasons that Fern explained above. Took me some forum snooping to actually determine that one.

For those who are going through the horrors of the NG6 update, but don't want to wait until the rumored fix in early December, do what I did. See this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735172

The no-wipe version didn't work for me unfortunately. It booted with all my stuff still in tact, but errors constantly popped up making the phone unusable. I had to do the full wipe, which gets rid of all your apps and personal data (unless it's on the SD card I believe). So try the no-wipe first, and if it doesn't work, back up all your data and apps, then do the full wipe.

Download Odin 3.09 (no need to root first), and use the full wipe ROM from the thread and watch the video for instructions. That will get you back to NC5, the previous working version before the NG6 fiasco. However, you still need a way to stop the update from happening again. Oddly, some users get a "no thanks" option, but I didn't get that. I had to root, which I had never done before. On your phone, google towelroot, go to the site, click the lambda, download it, install it (in settings allow android to install apps from unknown locations other than the app store), press "make it rain". Still on your phone, install SuperSU from the app store and go through that process. Then buy the Titanium Backup Pro app from the app store, find the SDM.apk, and freeze it. This should stop the update prompt from happening!

Now that you had to wipe your phone and root it (possibly for the first time if you're like me), reinstall all your old apps and move your data back. And since you're now rooted, you might as well take advantage of it. Download the Xposed framework, and install some useful modules for it like Wanam, NoMapTips, Disable Clear Defaults Dialog, and more. Then you can get rid of a lot of annoying TouchWiz bull**** like "loud volume can damage your hearing" warning, low battery warning, and etc.

Hopefully this helps someone who has no Android "modding" experience like myself, and saves them some research.

Cheers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
For clarity, the reason that you can only run CM on a MDK device is the MDK bootloader is the only one that can be exploited by a process called loki to allow flashing a custom recovery. All later bootloaders have had this exploit blocked (Thank Big Red). Because of this the only option is SafeStrap. On MDK ONLY this allows one to flash custom kernels and recoveries which are required in order to flash any AOSP ROM such as CyanogenMOD.

Cm11 m12/rc1

I can't remember where, but I read something about the next milestone build being available around November 7th, and that it may even be labeled as a release candidate instead. Obviously there's been no such release and the CyanogenMod blog hasn't been updated in almost a month.

Has anyone heard anything about a release date for M12/RC1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] consultcory:
I guess I should have just waited a day... M12 is now up!

At first glance on the download web page, I thought Galaxy S4 version is unsupported since the begining of the year. You should really post the information that you are building unified build to the download page.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TMYINC:
Its hard to miss on the first page of the thread.

If you know Cyanogenmod, you would probably go to the cyanogenmod download page directly but not visit from here, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TMYINC:
I do know CM. That's why I know the download page has been different since Feb. 18th. I always stay I'm touch here for updates, bug reports, or just to answer questions. I wasn't trying to be rude.

I'm not saying you don't know. "You" means someone. Not everyone sees xda as official document; neither do I. But I found the official wiki, so the problem I mentioned should not be a problem.

300 views and only $100, 3 donations. Not looking promising.
[Galaxy Tab S General] hurray:
I am in with $20 for a T-800 (or a T-805 if enough people donate).

I have much more trust in CM than in Samsung for a long term support of the Tab S 10.5. ;)
[Galaxy Tab S General] tahlsr:
25 for sure
[Galaxy Tab S General] andresv1989:
Where do I donate to?
[Galaxy Tab S General] That's So Raven:
Count me in for $50 for either one if we get enough pledges to cover the cost. OP should edit the first post to include a running tally of users and their pledged donation.

I've got the T800 but I agree that the T805 may be the better choice so more people can benefit from the ROM and, in an ideal situation, potentially get more people to chip in.
[Galaxy Tab S General] suzook:
Just post a pledge, I will then get that sorted out. We are up to $245!
[Galaxy Tab S General] andresv1989:
OK in that case put me down for $50
[Galaxy Tab S General] heidewitzgar:
I am in with 30!

Although I have a 805.. and who would maintain it in the future after porting?
[Galaxy Tab S General] That's So Raven:
Any updates on this? I'll boost my pledge to $75 if we can get rolling on this.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsk8er9000:
I currently have two HTC M8's that i have activated on AT&T. They have worked flawlessly for a long time, but I do have one current lingering issue on both devices. As of now, I am unable to access most google services that run off of the google.com domain, but only when i am connected to LTE. This includes most acount syncing capabilities, using the play store, using google search, or even just accessing google.com in a browser. All the while i still retain full access to any other site/services. All of this functionality works just fine on HSPA+ and wifi. Also to make it even more complex, It only seems to be an issue when the phone is using LTE band 17, when using LTE band 2 it works just fine. To add one more bit of oddity to the situation, a tracert from the phone to google.com goes through just fine with a low ping.

Things i have done to remedy the situation/rule out a carrier issue:

New sim card.

My sim card will access the play store just fine on another AT&T phone.

Used a VPN for a different route.

Factory reset through recovery menu.

Tracert to google.com, play.google.com works fine.

Edit1: Just thought to try something else. Set up wireless hotspot on my phone and connected my laptop. All google websites work just fine through there and tracert shows same results.

Sent in a ticket to HTC about it and they said they forwarded it to their engineers and i should be getting a call in a week with "something".

Im kind of at a loss and im open to any suggestions or ideas.

Running your ROM 1.1 Stockish For a week now, couple problems.

Hey, I can't post in the regular forum because I have only 4 posts.

I am coming from Synergy rom, which I used for 1.5 years. I recently switched because I got the rom itch. Synergy is 4.1.2, I have never had anything beyond that. When I flashed, I followed the instructions very closely.

Your ROM is very nice, thanks for all your hard work, it is much appreciated. Here are some things I have found, I have read the entire main thread two times, and followed your instructions to a tee, no missteps and the flash went fine, seems fully working. My 4g icon was wonky, and I flashed the fix in the thread and it worked. WiFi worked as did SMS, no problems. Here are the rest of what I have found:

1) "Unfortunately, Soundalive has stopped." When I pull up any music players. I press "OK" and 3 minutes later it pops up again. After that, it will never pop up again until my device reboots.

2) Pagebuddy does not work. On 4.1.2 when you plugged in headphones, it would bring up the context homescreen and put a headphone icon in the infobar. On this rom (maybe the changed it after 4.1.2) it just adds the icon in the infobar, but does not pull up the Pagebuddy context homescreens.

3)Cannot change lockscreen wallpaper by long pressing the homescreen and selecting wallpapers. However, it does work by selecting "Menubutton>Lock Screen"

4) Every time I rebooted I got the "Deviltools stopped working" until I finally uninstalled devil tools, I guess thats becuase deviltools is not needed with the stockish kernal.

5) Power-Off Charge bug. I flashed the fix, but device still powers up when I plug in the charger. However, I did flash the 4g icon fix and the Power off zips at the same time, without restarting (rebooting recovery) Philz 6.07.9 in between flashing them. Maybe that is why.

I never lost root during the flash, but I flashed SU2.02 after the ROM flash anyhow. Battery life is amazing, I have not had any force closes.

Thanks for this ROM and all your hard work. I read that there will be another update on this ROM. Cant wait. Hope this info helped you in some way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
1. Sound alive is an issue you can change it in audio settings.

2. The page buddy you are talking about is launcher specific and is not in the s5 launcher.

3. Did not know about that. I usually use gallery for setting wallpaper.

4. Devil tools can not be used with stockish kernel so removal is the correct fix.

5. The power off charge zip is for older versions. You must flash the newest bootloader via odin to fix it.

Hopefully this helps with everything you experienced. Feel free to ask anything you need.

Bluetooth connectivity with car

Howdy, y'all!

I just got a new car last night and I'm having issues with connecting it via Bluetooth to my phone. It's properly paired and handles phone calls just fine, but I'm unable to stream audio. The car manufacturer's website confirms that Note II from Verizon and AT&T are compatible phones and are supported as streaming audio devices; my phone is a Sprint Note II, but I cannot think that Sprint's version is much (if any) different in this regard.

So I am wondering if this could potentially be a ROM issue, which is why I'm asking here. I'm using Alpha 3.2+. I use a Motorola Bluetooth headset when I'm running and have no problems with it. So I know that Bluetooth audio does indeed work with this ROM.

Any and all words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated. I will be locked in a padded room if I need to listen to FM radio any longer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJ_Barcode:
Cancel that request. I found the problem.

My last car supported Bluetooth telephony, but not audio. I had to use an audio patch cable from the headphone jack to the aux input of the car's audio system to use my phone as a media player. This caused a problem, I found, because when I'm playing music from my phone in my car (and that's ALWAYS), it superceded the car's Bluetooth capabilities for phone calls. If I received a call, the other party couldn't hear me because the phone was attempting to use a non-existant microphone instead of the car's Bluetooth microphone.

The solution was an application called SoundAbout. It gives you better control of your Android device's routing of audio output and microphone input. Worked perfectly.

What I had forgotten is that when I'm using my Bluetooth headphones when I'm out for a run, I had to shut SoundAbout down. Music would simply play from the phone's speaker instead of routing it via Bluetooth. So that's all I needed to do - shut down SoundAbout, and now my Benz is connecting with my phone without issue. :o

It would appear that I no longer even need SoundAbout.

Testing a possible music skipping fix...

I have been pulling my hair out for a fix and I am currently trying a fix a found in my many google searches...

The gist of it is to set the governor to ondemand and that should fix the audio skipping. It has something to do with phone going into deep sleep and the wake lock not functioning properly. I am doing this now and it hasn't skipped for about an hour now...

Could anyone else give this "fix" a whirl?

stuttering music

Great rom overall with very few bugs that I can live with, except for this one. I experience stuttering while playing mp3 using either the music app or play music. The strange thing about this bug is that the stuttering starts once the screen goes off and stops once the screen comes on and it will never stutter as long as the screen stays on. I didn't add any mods or tweaked anything after installing the rom. Is there any fix for this bug? Thanks and great work on the rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJ_Barcode:
I just upgraded from Community Alpha 3.2+ to Beta 1.1 with the stock kernel. Everything works perfectly, JL. Your wonderful work and commitment to the GN2 community will be sorely missed.

One very minor issue, though. My Font size (Settings, My Device, Font size) is set to Tiny. Even that's a bit too big for my tastes, but I can live with it. But some applications - most notably, S Planner and the Internet browser - seem to have a mind of their own with regard to font size. The first picture is of the browser. I'd prefer the address text to be smaller, mostly for the reason that I'd be able to see more of it. The second is of S Planner and pretty much speaks for itself. Everything there is too big. The numbers don't even fit into the calendar squares.

I downloaded and installed a build.prop editor and tried bumping the lcd.density down to 240 from its stock setting of 320. Unfortunately, it carried with it the unwanted side-effect of cramming everything to the top of the screen, leaving the bottom 30% or so completely unused.

Any way to modify this?
