https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934521717 for APN.fix [MENTION=5615069]happy2472[/MENTION]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] happy2472:
followed your directions and the OP directions ... was working lovely ... did the apnfix .. started from scratch wiped everything .. rebooted and lost wifi and network

only difference i downloaded the change apn app and there was NO setting or anyway to enter what you typed .... great rom no doubt but this is the ONLY rom i cant figure out for my S4

tried NC2 AND NC5 wifi fix modules now gonna try NK1 and then NC6 if that dont work ... oh well

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

so i HAD a stock rooted NC5

wiped everything but SDcard

flashed ROM

booted

had wifi and service

rebooted to recovery and did apnfix

rebooted system and nothing no wifi or service

did i miss a step or 2 ??? so effing lost and confused
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wavedashdoc:
Clear the change APN apps cache, then hit the plus button, all apns should appear. Then apply the gravity box fix with the quick settings. Force LTE in the quick settings and hot reboot to get WiFi back too. Remember that in the op it says you must turn off WiFi after each reboot or shutdown, or you'll be forced to hot boot the next time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] happy2472:
my gravity has

lockscreen , statusbar , navigation , power , display ., media , hardware and application launcher

now in my change apn i see

EHRPD verizon cbs FOTA IMS INTERNET SUPL

LTE - CBS FOTA IMS Internet and SUPL

thats my issue i never turned off wifi when i rebooted ... wow thats gonna suck so next time i forget im EFF'D hmmmm not good

someone make an app that turns off wifi before you reboot !!!!

so now i have to go back to stock so i can do this tonight ... IF i set it up right and i "reboot" and lose wifi all i have to do is then "hot reboot" and wifi is back ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wavedashdoc:
You've have to search a little harder man.

"If your data is not working like in my case, flash the apn fix, then download gravity box from the play store or xposed, activate the module, hot boot, then once gravity box is enabled, open it up and go into status bar tweaks...then into quick settings managment...then into tile specific settings...then into network mode tile settings, and make sure the cdma box is checked, and make sure the Allow LTE is checked as well, then drag down from the top and tap through the tile till it says LTE, then wait for the signal to come, if it doesent come try a reboot first"

"o now i have to go back to stock so i can do this tonight ... IF i set it up right and i "reboot" and lose wifi all i have to do is then "hot reboot" and wifi is back ?"

Yes you do, but instead of FULL REBOOTS just do mostly hot-boots, wifi will come back each time. It's a minor issue for such a great rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] happy2472:
What about if you do a battery pull? Lose wifi?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rp1226:
I believe so.

But you can use gravity box to change your power menu to include hot reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] happy2472:
Sweet ... i will google how to do that ... and tape the back of my phone with a note dont pull the battery lol ... is there a way to regain wifi IF you make the mistake of a battery pull or a full reboot?

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------

Wait a minute ... if you hotboot .... does it allow you to enter safestrap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Quick question, are you 100% sure it works on stock? That has happened to some other users... their hardware putters out at the same time they install the ROM, this can be tested by reflashing NC5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Great to hear. Thank you as well.

I have said many times, it requires a hot boot to regain service after you reboot the phone! This includes the battery dying, the battery being pulled,a nd you rebooting the phone. You must use the reboot menu to hot reboot. It should have the advanced options that include hot boot enabled by default.

No. A hot boot is a quick reboot. It can be done from the reboot menu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aseelee1:
Yeah. 100% sure. On NC5 VZW Stock (towelroot) and Hyperdrive R20, NFC works with Trigger app and xposed nfc lockscreen enabler. Haven't really tried on NK1.

Also uninstalled Trigger and the xposed nfc mod on this rom and still doesn't work.

Anyways like I said, if you think Vzw lollipop OTA it might fix eventually I am not too horribly hung up on it. I'll wait for it. Just reporting it if anyone encountered the same. Thanks! Awesome stable ROM. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] haza12d:
Thanks for this ROM. I'm on NK1 and pretty much everything works:

WiFi

GPS

MMS

LTE

Text Messages

Voice Calls

I haven't gotten around to test NFC tho.

Thanks [MENTION=5848265]npjohnson[/MENTION] U rock!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aseelee1:
Did i mention I went from this rom (NFC not working) back to stock (NFC working) and back to this rom (NFC not working)? LOL. So much for typing with my GS4.

Love this ROM! Battery lasted a full 20 hours finally with a single charge with moderate use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wavedashdoc:
[MENTION=5848265]npjohnson[/MENTION], any chance we could get the card recents lollipop mod from this forum? Instead of using the resource intensive fancy switcher. Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] happy2472:
good day everyone ... im going to flash this rom again because it is very stable and super fast ... before i do i know doing a battery pull and or full reboot you lose wifi ... has anyone that uses this rom ever needed a battery pull?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
You should do a hot reboot after any full reboot or battery pull.

That will bring wifi back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] happy2472:
Damnit really ... S O B ... i had this rom running perfect last time just needed a hot boot ... lmao ty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wavedashdoc:
So I'm sure all of you that have been using the Galaxy s4 VZW variant for quite some time now have noticed the device gets very hot when using the GPS, or really just having the screen on in general. Normally the CPU is anywhere from about 45 C to almost 60 C at times, just from browsing the web and playing a game. And I'm sure you have also tried down clocking or limiting the CPU, which honestly does help but not that much. Well I've been testing a few settings now being on this rom for only a few days and while the default settings get the job done, I think these new tunables will give you better results and a noticeably cooler phone and better battery and a faster lag free experience. Try these and report back

If you haven't already download trickster mod or kernel auditor or device control (I prefer trickster since I've been using since the Galaxy Nexus days)

1. Set your CPU min to default 384 and max 1890 if you have change it previously

2. Change the CPU Governor to Interactive

3. Click Governor Control and change these settings

above_highspeed_delay = 180000 (yes it looks unusually high but trust me)

boost = 0

go_highspeed_load = 85

highspeed_freq = 918000

input_boost = 0

min_sample_time = 45000

timer_rate = 15000

4. Save these settings under whatever name you want

5. In the specific tab turn off MP-Decision

6. This step is optional but just in case I like to have Temperature Throttle Turned on.

7. Make sure to test these settings before setting them to start @ boot of course.

That's it! Now if you use Cool Tool to real time monitor your CPU temp you'll notice while performing normal tasks like sms, web browsing or using facebook or G+ that the phone stays around 40-47 C instead of 50- 60 C

Note: I will keep testing and tuning I just wanted to share these settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Thank you as well. :p Good to hear.

My bad, missed that post. Huh. I haven't come across anybody else with this problem. Are you flashing anything else with the ROM other than modules, APN Fix, and (optionally) a newer modem?

Potentially. I will test it and see how it looks. Thanks for the heads up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Sweet! I have debated including Trickster, etc, but I fear that many users would just max everything and then complain when their device dies :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aseelee1:
I've flashed too many things LOL! (no pun intended but i did tho). The only additional stuff I can think off is that I flashed Titanium Backup since I didn't want to use my LTE to download that on the get-go in case the wifi connect acts up.

I'll wipe, repartition and flash back to NC5 with Odin first. Then reinstall it slowly as per wavedashdoc method a few postings back. :)

That if my kids goes to bed early too.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] happy2472:
Wooohoooo got this ROM working ... And now downloading trickster to tinker around .. My question

Is there a preferred kernel to use?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Stock is the only kernel because of locked bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daventodd123:
MMS messages will not send but I have LTE signal. Is there a fix for this?

EDIT: It seems no texts will send either. I used the APN change app you recommended and reset to default and rebooted but that didn't have any affect

EDIT2: Okay so LTE started working again after 10 or so minutes. MMS still does not work and it seems to take several minutes for a simple text to send, rather than a few seconds like a few days ago. Is anyone else having this problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
if I was to hazard a guess...

have you flashed any ROMs before this? or have you flashed anything they replaced your partitions (a wifi fix zip)?

you could try restoring a backup or odining back to stock if you want to check on everything, maybe your phone doesn't like the modem firmware or likely the different partitions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawnsingh:
If you have Verizon flash the APN fix zip in safestrap it should fix the problem it did for me it is a page or 2 back on this thread look for it lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aseelee1:
Reflash and upgraded to NK1 with Odin (re-root with towelroot on NC5 kernel then back to NK1 Kernel) and then following wavedashdoc instructions. All works great!

Prior to that I was using the SafeStrap rooted NK1 stock zip.

Wifi - need soft reboot

LTE with APN Fix and Change APN

GPS Works!

Fast and stable and not overheating on any map apps!!!

For NFC - found this on CM bug: Yep, my tags are NTAG203:

at jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-2779

I guess not for this thread. Sorry for that. Oh well, I'll just ignore NFC for now.

Thanks!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] haza12d:
Just experienced this issue. I lose my data once I'm on a voice call. Anyone else having this problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcbeat257:
Great but issues with NC5

Hi I am running on NC5 on my SCH-i545 and when I loaded it up I encountered the following unfixable issues:

-LTE somehow turns into 3G instead without notice

-Wifi constantly is an issue because of having to hot boot and flash the modules so many times

-Any word on android 5 yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] retsnom:
Where can I find notification settings for Google Now? My phone's random vibrations are starting to bug me a bit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Depends on what area/LTE band you are using. Only certain bands can do simultaneous voice and data, as well as the fact that if you use VoLTE on your account, that can screw a bunch of stuff up. Check your account page at the Verizon Site.

Good to hear. NFC isn't working for you either? Strange. Went 3 Months+ without any reported NFC issues, wondering if some form of SIM Update messed with NFC...

- Did you come from Stock NC5/NK1? If not, as stated in the OP, I cannot help you due to the Madness caused by the WiFi-fixes, etc. If you want help there, ODIN to stock NC5 then reflash like said in the OP, just don't use the WiFi Fix on this ROM. It jacks with LTE.

- You only have to flash the Modules Once! After that, you have to hot reboot after a full reboot/battery pull to regain WiFi. Like a ~10 second process. Not that big a deal.

- As stated in previous posts, I cannot do anything relating to Lollipop until VZW drops the Lollipop OTA. Feel free to link me to it in this thread when it comes out, but please don't ask for ETAs after the OTA does come out.

Hold down a Google now notification (constant weather in the NC shade) and clock "App Info", then uncheck notifications.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] haza12d:
Ok. And what am I looking for when I'm there? Sorry if that's a dumb question but I've always been able to do both voice and data at the same time regardless where I was.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
Yes, on NC5 here. Having an odd issue where I can't get WiFi to work anymore. It wont turn on at all and not even on another ROM in Slot 1. I have no idea how that happened.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Soft reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
For a tad of an explanation, after fully rebooting an AOSP ROM with, WiFi WILL not work anywhere until a soft reboot in the AOSP ROM. So, as a solution, turn WiFi off before full reboots on the AOSP ROM. Imagine it like a lock, if you leave it locked when you reboot, it won't work until you reboot to that ROM and unlock it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Wiping data in the stock ROM will always delete ROM slots, as they are stored on the internal storage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
In the mean time, to disable Soft Keys,

Navigate to /system/build.prop. open It in a text editor, and remove he very last line containing "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0"

To re-enable capacitive buttons, navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl , open it in a text editor, and remove the # from the front of the the following lines;

~158 (should be labeled back, if not that one, search for it near there)

~136 (Should be labeled menu, if not that one, search for it near there.)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
I just tested, and it is working here for me... So I'm thinking it isn't a ROM problem (good news), and likely a specific configuration problem.

Look for something like HD Voice, and turn it off if its on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] haza12d:
Hmmm. I looked into HD Voice (Advanced Calling 1.0) and I can't turn it on or off. Turns out the S4 isn't compatible with it.

Will it have to do with APN settings? Radios?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] happy2472:
Weird ... Everything is and has been running good for a few days ... Now it says no APN on this device but I did as the previous post said and it was working ... Any ideas? I did reflash this with NC2 modules today bcz I was told NC2 gets the best reception and service. Wonder if I should reflash with NC6 and see if there's a difference.

---------------

Admin Note: this thread has a dedicated questions and answers section which you can access here -->.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Bad idea. Don't flash modules not intended for your baseband. Don't even use the NC2 WiFi Fix, it will require an ODIN to NC5 to solve the data issues you are having after flashing NC2 WiFi fix. If it was just modules, reflash the NC5 Modules.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] happy2472:
i tried flashing NC5 modules and nothing changed ... been at work for 7 hours and a 2 hour ride into work i had a service signal but it kept saying no network available ... tried registering to verizon it said it did and still nothing ... was a goo rom but i think im done with this one ... have to odin a stock again now see if that helps

go_highspeed_load = 95 ( won't go highspeed unless extremely needed, good for web browsing and intense applications)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] G.moe:
Not to say that you'll have the same experience, but I had that setup for a bit and it ultimately ended up in Wi-Fi issues. Wi-Fi wouldn't stick with the screen locked, it wouldn't connect to all network types, WiFiap wouldn't work, etc. I assume the issue was trying to use the WiFi fix. Reflashing NK1 or NC5 modules was not successful. I've since reflashed the complete NK1 tar, downgraded the modem to nc5 for towelroot, back up to nk1, reinstalled busybox, safestrap and supersu (as system), and finally reflashed KitPop following the directions in the OP. I'm on NK1 around the board now, and it works great. If you can afford the time to get to NK1 and resetup your phone, I would highly suggest doing so before flashing this rom.

I've tested some stuff. More materialish theming, I think you guys will like it. :p

But MTP is still (and likely will forever be) broken, do to being unable to disable the stupid VZW CD Installer, and the WiFi hotboot bug still exists, though, with some free time, I can fix that one with a script or two.

More true than you know ;p there are a couple different avenues we are looking into, but I keep turning back to Kexec work... We'll see.
