Guess I'll be flashing this over Eclipse(after the whole wipe). At this point, after a week of several flashes a day, I only have a few apps loaded and photos and important others on the SD card :P I'll see how it goes...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rp1226:
Hold power button. Menu should come up, click reboot. Then click hot reboot. For those looking to soft reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Quick note, after surfing SAFESTRAP's source code, I found a cool feature.

If you push the home button once directly after the "Samsung" Logo disappears, SAFESTRAP will auto boot the Stock ROM, super useful if you don't like the capacitive buttons like me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
or just wait ten seconds for the ROM to actually boot lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wwonka69:
Hi,

Just did a clean install and flashed the modules. u tried em both.

I have WiFi working but no data. I can make calls but not LTE or 3g.

Any thoughts.

Peace
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
If you have a ROM slot selected as your primary boot, and you don't want to boot to recovery to reselect a different ROM slot, the home button can be used to direct boot to the stock ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Did you flash modules? What's your build number?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wwonka69:
Nc5 build yes I flashed em one at a time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
One at a time? As in you rebooted after each? That'd be why.

If you flashed them in succession in SafeStrap without rebooting, then its fine. Did you flash the APN-Fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wwonka69:
No I didn't do the APN fix. Duh

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kole_Ackerson:
Install radio switcher from the play store :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawnsingh:
How do I remove the soft keys I don't like it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Look in flashable addons in the op.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kole_Ackerson:
Here :) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934533151
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawnsingh:
How do I install do I put it in the system folder and thanks

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

Lol never mind. Stupid question just flash. Haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawnsingh:
Are ther any more roms for the gs4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Maybe next time don't ask that in a ROM specific thread... [emoji14]

Just go to the development section on the XDA forum you are on right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawnsingh:
Sorry guys but i was just curious this is a really great rom. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
well I am home no LTE auto switching thoughout the trip but tethering worked great once I set it to LTE only via radio switcher the problem with that is I get no calls because its not connecting to X1RTT aka CDMA2000 because its set to "LTE ONLY"

if there was a way to get LTE+ EVODO/RTT at the same time it would be gold

I did notice something strange I was messing about with the "mobile network selection" and when I manually selected Verizon I Got LTE without messing with radio switcher but lost all call and mms+ and Had trouble getting set back on auto.

I think the end game here is gonna be to have dual mode cell radio its really strange that some people aren't having issues, I am wondering if there was a minor hardware revision at some point. mine is day one Verizon S4 so it is quite old
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
That hardware rev is a strong possibility I discussed in the boot loader thread. It seems like some phones have different qfuse beds, and register a different PCI root output.

Are there any other mods (even non cell related) that you do to your Roms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawnsingh:
For me the call and mms works but the data dosent.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
nothing that *should* matter

I am running xposed with gravity box + GEL setting but I did do testing with and without xposed awhile back

otherwise it ran like a top It survived 7h running LTE Tether providing data to my tablet, before needing to be plugged in
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Gravitboxs recent updates could be the issue...

Let me know if you find anything there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
I haven't updated the module since I installed 1.2 from a odin flash back to nc5 but ill turn it off and see if it does anything I doubt it all the quick tile setting does it call the same function that radio switcher uses

honestly I am about ready to say to hell with it and just live with it having to use radio switcher isn't a big deal for me as I rarely need much if any mobile data 3G works great and that's usually sufficient for a quick Email or IRC message
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Wait, did you dirty flash 1.3? (Not Odin to stock). Might have failed to share that I found that the NC2 WiFi fix "patched" more than the hidden img, nonhlos, and modem... It patches a crap ton of others. So, if you still have those patches applied, that could definitely be the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
we talked about that and I said I heimdall'd back to NC5 hidden.img I even pmed you a clean image to make a flash-able .zip from :) I also did a fresh odin before it left so it would be 100%
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
I remember that, what I am saying is that I found that it did more than even what we had talked about at that time. I should pry put that in the OP...

But maybe try a no wipe tar, and root, busybox, then ss, then try 1.3 ,modules, and apnfix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
see my above edit

iv done that whole song and dance enough times to know its none of that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Ahh. OK. Then continue debugging we shall! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
odd issue I just noticed that the clock didn't set properly For DST

I had to use ClockSync https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.org.amip.ClockSync&hl=en to get it to correct for DST
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bigtimejdub:
I Odin'd NC5 with full refresh, installed the ROM, NC5 modules, SuperSU, and apn fix. I cannot dial out. I keep getting "mobile network not available". The real kicker, is that I re-Odin'd back to stock NC5 and getting the error there too.

I've pulled the Sim and re-inserted. Don't really know where to go from here. Thanks.

I have data btw.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Of after ODIN, and you are back on stock, the problem persists, then your Sim went bad, or the radio did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Huh. That's an interesting one. I literally borrowed AOSPs exact implementation of Time Zone Syncing...

I'll take a look at it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
I tried reacquiring a gps lock and letting it sit and then firing up google maps. didn't do anything clocksync took care of it in short order tho

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

use radio switcher and set the radio to lte/cdma, restart the radio then set it to unknown and turn the radio off

this should unhide the "Preferred Network" settings UI under settings>more>mobile networks;Preferred Network

try toggling from automatic to manual when you set manual and select Verizon it should say "registered on Verizon"

I have had this happen twice so far but I chalked it up to me messing around trying to discover what the deal was with LTE

there is something very screwy going on here and ill be dammed if I can locate a rhyme or reason for it all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bigtimejdub:
I decided to try google play edition, installed via the method in the general forum. Same issue. Went into GravityBox > phone tweaks > smart radio and set the normal network mode to LTE and power saving to CDMA/EvDo Auto. Rebooted and viola, calls started working and I'm getting LTE data. Re-wiped, installed KitPop, again no call data, installed GravityBox set settings and now calls work on Kitpop too, but screen blacks out and then flashes during calls. ughh!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
The in call back screen thing is a Nexus software bug. nexus 5's had this issue on 4.4.4. No fix yet. But in my opinion not to big a deal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bigtimejdub:
Unless you need to dial an extension or whatever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Wait until the screen flicks off, then hit yhr home button, should take you to the home screen, then use the NC to get back to the call, then the dialer will be present.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kole_Ackerson:
Just had a scare. Lmao. Was browsing social media and then my s4 completely shut down and was looping at the battery screen (was plugged in, battery was at 10%). Wouldn't even make it to safestrap boot. Pulled batt, nothing. So I left it plugged in, was frozen at the battery screen. Left, walked back into the truck and bam. Phone was on. 0% battery. Had to reflash an APN zip (all apns were missing after).

Not sure if a one time thing or a ghostly bug. But I thought I'd let you guys know
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
battery went dead it autoshut down, and there wasn't sufficient power to boot back up thus a loop is formed safe-strap is partially to blame due to the way it initializes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Just plug it in and let it loop a while, then do a battery pull and power on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
yep ... god I am so tired of safestrap and its endless quirks and issues I wish somebody would pick development back up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Yup.. In agreement. I may just take a look into what all is involved to fix current SS issues. Maybe you and I can take a look into that [emoji14]

Are we in agreement the reboot loop bug is probably the biggest to deal with first?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kole_Ackerson:
Gotchya. Just was scratching my head since battery bar said I had 10% left. Its always been accurate when I've drained it to 2%. Lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
My S4 sorta started getting whacky readings below 10% in January. It hasn't gotten much worse than that though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
I don't think you are gonna fix the bugs tho the problem is the way safestrap works,iis a core design fault

honestly unless there are major breakthoughs with kexec or something its looking like I am just gonna toss my S4's on Ebay and buy a nexus or htc one m9

I have had it with Samsungs **** its not worth the hassle
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Writing this from my Nexus 6... I love it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Are you involved in roms for the nexus 6?

My upgrade is due in July or so and I'm definitely gonna get it.

Best part is I'm grandfathered into unlimited data and my wife isn't so I can use that to my advantage. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tech 4 9:
I think I remember reading somewhere that the battery might need "calibrating" after ROM changes. I do it although I don't think I've ever had inaccuracy issues.

UPDATE: (I hesitate to say as it's only been one day... BUT)...this ROM is working 100% for me so far. GPS..navigation.. MMS.. data...wifi...everything. Touch interface is smooth as glass compared 4.2. Fingers crossed. ; )
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Starting today actually yeah... Funny you should mention that... I've used a Moto x 2014 b4, and like motos active display (as opposed to lollipops ambient display) and motos apps a lot. So I am making a CM Based "Moto X Pro" ROM for the N6. I've already got active display working (probably the biggest hurdle).

I'm also working on getting Ubuntu (Desktop) on the Nexus 6, as it was super useful for me on my old N7 2012.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Great to here! NK1 or NC5? (I think I've asked b4, bit who cares XD)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Awesome! I look forward to using your roms on the nexus.

I've been watching the forum but haven't seen much of you in there so just wondering.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tech 4 9:
Nk1. Thanks for ROM and support!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Haha. Yeah, RootSU takes care of most the user support stuff.

I haven't released anything yet. I just started working on it recently (yesterday actually). I've honestly been on stock 5.0.1 for quite a while, with root of course, but still... Its almost perfect stock XD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bigtimejdub:
Yeah that wasn't working for me. No big deal though. Nexus 6 arrives tomorrow. Great ROM though man. Makes me almost wanna keep this phone now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drkshenronx:
MMS

I have pretty much everything working, however, MMS will not work.

Please help! I really need MMS to work.

Any workaround for the MTP other than wireless? (I don't mind really just trying to get everything working 100%)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Hangouts or Messenger? Either way, go into the settings of the messaging app, and choose APN, then click reset from the menu, then choose VZW. If that doesn't work, did you flash the APN Fix? And also, you can try checking the APN under settings, cellular.

MTP, I just pull the SD Card. But I suppose BT transfer works just as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drkshenronx:
I did flash the APNfix. My 4g LTE is working. I tried resetting the APN settings to no avail. Should I try reflashing the APN fix?

I actually use a program called instashare on all of my devices which makes it simple across multiple platforms. Works great!

---------- Post added at 01:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

I got it!

Ok so first I reflashed from scratch.

Flashed in this order --> KitPop, vzw-APNfix, NC5 Modules, Googlies -Wifi-Fix

Set up the phone. Still no MMS, however, The wifi seems to work on every boot and everything else works great!

So now all I did was went to Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Preferred Network Type > Change to LTE

VOILA! MMS and LTE both working and from what I can tell full reboots do not disable wifi! Awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Sweet! Can you double check the reboot no disabling WiFi? If it really doesn't, I'd like to examine your setup and figure out why.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
what we need is a script in the rom to dump the hardware info and address's to see what the differences are ...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drkshenronx:
ACKK!

So I tried to redo the steps I did to get it to work. Now not only does it not work but I can't make any phone calls! It says mobile network not available! But it shows LTE service!

Back to retry it again....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Try to avoid the WiFi fix... Its known to cause issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drkshenronx:
I used it on most of my other safestrap roms so I figured I would give it a whirl with this one. Oh well.

Hopefully I can at least get Calls, LTE and MMS working flawlessly again.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Bad news. If you flashed the WiFi fix once, you have to Odin to stock to remove its effects, reflahsing doesn't fix it. The WiFi fix flashes multiple partitions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drkshenronx:
Yea I kind of figured that. It's a good thing I have all of my files tucked away in a nice neat little place so that I can get to them whenever I need :D

I am running odin now. By the way. I was using a deodexed stock firmware. I upgraded like 6 months ago from MK2 using this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2726868

I was running eclipse rom for a while because it was the only one that was really good on NC5 (Up until I saw KitPop ;))

I am now upgrading fully to NC5 with this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735172

Anything I should know before I do so?

I am wondering if the upgrade method I used before had anything to do with the Wifi working all of the time initially.

Thanks again for all of your help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
It most certainly did! Haha. We dealt with one of those cases earlier in the thread. He was unable to LTE/Calls.

Its pretty simple. Just ODIN to NC5, towelroot, busybox (stericson from the play store), SafeStrap, then follow the same steps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drkshenronx:
Darn it! I had everything working too! And then I went and tried to redo it to figure out exactly what I did and messed it all up... Son of a gun... Oh well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Happens to the best of us. Good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drkshenronx:
AHHHH!

I have no clue what the heck happened but it just happened again!

I did a full factory to NC5 using Odin and installed as normal. Did not use Googlies-Wifi-Fix at all.

I can't make calls or use LTE!

I Installed the NC5 Modules and the APN-fix and that was it.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Use APN changer from the store to change to VZW Internet - LTE, you may have to click reset in that app, that should bring calls and LTE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drkshenronx:
Got it!

So believe it or not the only thing I needed to do was go to

Settings > More networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > And Select Global or LTE/CDMA

Instantly phone calls and everything was working again. For some reason nothing was selected there. Weird.

Thanks!

** Note - This was on the stock system NOT the KitPop, however, it fixes it in KitPop BUT LTE doesn't work anymore. **
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bigtimejdub:
I flashed the phone cache and the issue went away, fyi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drkshenronx:
Ok so I figured something interesting out.

If I re-flash the software and then go through everything phone calls and stuff work as long as I set the network type to global.

If I go in and change the network type to LTE after flashing KitPop all phone calls and service stops!

It has something to do with the network type.

What am I supposed to do when running the APN Changer app. It doesn't give me any options. It wants me to add a new APN.

Thanks in advance guys

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

Ahhhh. All of my APNs are missing! That's why it isn't working!

Why do all of my APNs disappear after installing KitPop v1.3? Is this a bug?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drkshenronx:
No APNs

I can get everything but LTE working now. I tried the APN Change app and when it goes to the APN screen there are none! They are all gone.

Any help at this point would be appreciated.

I also tried to flash the vzw-APNfix.zip again to no avail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Click the menu button, then resetapnfrom the app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drkshenronx:
Tried that. Nothing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bigtimejdub:
I think I had to flash the APN zip, go back into mobile networks > APN's and click reset to default. May have had to reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drkshenronx:
Working (Kind of)

I managed to get everything working although I could not get MMS to run natively in the Messenger or Hangouts Apps. I tried reset to default inside messenger app and nothing. It won't let me select an APN in messenger either. It says "User is not authorized to make changes". I had to use a 3rd party SMS app to get MMS to work.

Here are the steps I followed just so everyone else knows:

Step 1 - Clean NC5 Flash using Odin 3.09

Download these 2 files

VRUFNC5 Full-Wipe SCH-I545_VZW_1_20140330160240_8il17ls9o2_fac.zip

PIT File (16gb sch-i545) JFLTE_USA_VZW_16G.pit

Unzip VRUFNC5 Full-Wipe - ALL_VZW_I545VRUFNC5_I545VZWFNC5_1151670_REV06_user _low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

Select the tar.md5 in Odin under PDA (or AP if using Odin 3.09)

Put the PIT file in PIT

Click start

Step 2 - Setup Phone On Stock & Install Safestrap / Prep For KitPop

Once you are back in the stock firmware go to Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Preferred Network Type > Change to LTE (This is crucial. If it is set to global the APNfix Doesn't work! - At least not for me it didn't)

If it is already set to LTE leave it alone.

Install TowelRoot

Login to google play and Install Busybox

Open Busybox and click Install

Install Safestrap 3.75

Download KitPop v1.3 (this is what I am using now)

Download NC5 Modules

Download vzwAPN-Fix

Put All Files on SD Card

Open Safestrap and Click Install

Click Reboot into Recovery from safestrap

Step 3 - Install & Setup KitPop

Wipe >Advanced Wipe > Check all Except SD Card

Install KitPop

Flash NC5 Modules Zip File

Reboot

Update SU Binary

Login to Google Play

Download APN Change app

Open APN Change and click Options Menu > Reset to default

Download TextraSMS (Chomp also works)

In TextraSMS go to Settings > MMS (Use this if MMS Doesn't work) > Custom APN > http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms

Reboot into TWRP

Flash vzwAPN-fix Zip File (If you do this before NC5 Modules LTE will not work. I ended up doing this last)

This was how I managed to get everything working again. Wifi still requires soft reboot. LTE works. MMS only works using TextraMMS. Haven't tried GPS yet but I will let you know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rp1226:
Very nice. So from my experience, MMS works fine. But I have noticed something weird. One day my wife sent me a few texts and I didn't get them. I had signal and all. No idea why this was happening. Soft reset, still no go. Then I did a full reset, and low and behold, the SMSs started to come in. Then i finally did a soft reset to get my wifi back and everything is working fine.

The statement holds true, when it doubt, reboot...

Best of luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
just for ****s and giggles Id thought i would give it a try,thinking some register or bit of EFS code wasn't getting ticked

NOPE

gotta have duel mode radio .. thats all there is to it

it will not give me LTE CDMA2000+1XRTT no matter what I try belive me I have tried EVERYTHING!@

and I suspect that LTE mode only would work if the rom had VOLTE support then calling would function over LTE only

I am done screwing with this until something major changes with the rom its no longer worth the effort for functionality I don't really _need_
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Hmm. I hadn't thought of VOLTE support. Ill see what I can do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kernal42:
Almost everything working

First, thanks npjohnson for your efforts in putting this together. It looks really great and I'm looking forward to using it.

At this point, I've followed the instructions in the OP and nearly everything works, including wifi (after hot reboot) and LTE. I don't have calls or text working (I assume it's the same issue), and I think 3G doesn't work, although that's of lesser importance.

I'm using a recent S4, originally with the nk1 build.

Steps, from a fresh nk1 installation:

Towelroot, as per http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/how-to-root-i545vrufnk1-4-4-2-12-1-2014-t2959613

Safestrap, as per http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56030788&postcount=2281

Save files in phone's SD card.

Reboot into safestrap

Wipe ==> Advanced Wipe ==> Everything except SD Card

Use safestrap to Install kitpop ROM

Use safestrap to Install SELinux Fix

Use safestrap to Install nk1 Modules

Reboot (Wifi works, LTE does not)

Reboot into safestrap

Use safestrap to Install vzw-APNfix.zip

Reboot

Install Change APN; use Restore Defaults.

Hot Reboot

I did not use the NC2 wifi fix.

At this point, LTE works and Wifi works with the soft reboot. When I try to place a call I get "Mobile network not available." Text messages, using the messenger app, also fail to send.

Cheers,

Kernal
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Hmm... I would try reflashing the ROM, but flashing the APN fix b4 first boot.

Thanks for the detailed post, very helpful in debugging issues.
