I'm coming from NK1. Will Wifi hotspot work with this ROM, or am I better off going with hyper drive?

Thanks a bunch guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
hotspot sorta kinda works if you really need it stick with hyperdrive untill 1.3 is ready
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kinggroin:
Thanks for the honesty; I will return to this ROM when 1.3 is released!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
1.3 is getting the final touches but it should't be to much longer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
Is the wallpaper on kitpop one you created? Couldn't find it anywhere. my wife loves it and wants I TT on her phone but won't let me root it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
Can't you email it to her from the gallery? She can save it from the attachment and set it as her wallpaper or lockscreen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
That is due to this being built from a ATT ROM Source. GSM disables mobile networking other than the GSM LTE. The global setting show up on my end, but that may be because I'm running it with and engineering flag to make changing things easier.

Honestly, the difference between TW and AOSP in this area is that Samsung doesn't care about the battery, if the signal is weak, the battery will drain due to it. AOSP requires a much better signal to default to LTE. I'm working on it though.

Downsized stock Nexus 6 Wallpaper

Either gonna be Presidents day or next weekend. Depends on what I get done this weekend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
no rush good things come to those wait

other then the wonky data I haven't had any stablity issues with it at all I played 2 hours of asphalt 8 its rocksolid
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
That's what I thought but its not in the gallery. No worries.

GPS

will the gps issues mentioned in previous posts be fixed in 1.3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jesuajovan:
Many thanks, dude. I just installed it from Hyperdrive, and it works perfectly so far. I didn't even had to flash any modem or modules to activate the wifi. I really like the Immersive Mode, but any chance I could turn off the button lights? It's so annoying how the lights turn on every time I accidentally touch it :(:(:(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rrrrrrredbelly:
There are directions pretty early in the thread on what edits to make on how to disable them. You can also use an app on the play store, search "capacitive buttons"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
They are disabled OOTB on this ROM, but the issue is that the lights do still come on due to the HAL call. Basically, on the Google edition style ROMs, there was a direct settings configuration to dim/brighten/disable the light. The issue is that in my source, there is no way to physically disable the lights without permanently disabling the HW on this ROM. And I do not want to do that. Try that capacitive buttons app/.

Ugh. Possibly. GPS appears to be 50/50 no matter what I do. I think the only fix is to ODIN and reflash unfortunately. It really sucks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
I hate the on-screen buttons they take up screen real-estate and aren't any better then the buttons on the bottom of the device

having to fiddle with the build prop and replace lines in the config is a giant pain in the ass

I don't understand why it would be corrupting the modem and making you reflash,thats a pretty serious bug

I wonder if its a symlink issue where its not mounting correctly or the permissions are getting screwy,also wondering if its the same issue thats causing the wifi to die and not come back,so far I have had that happen twice

either case flashing a nohols package usually fixes it I haven't used the GPS enough on mine to see any issues but I always flash the nohols package any time I flash a rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Well, as I've stated earlier, your preference vs. my preference. If you like something different than what is offered, then yeah, your gonna have to jump through some hoops to change it, plus it literally take ~2 minutes to do.

It doesn't corrupt the modem... I don't know where you got that from. What I meant was in order to get GPS, many users had to ODIN to stock, lock GPS, then restore their KitPop backup over top of Stock to get GPS working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
I took a look at the stock gps config from NK1

try using this one its a stupid obvious fix and it most-likely is not related at all, to the issue people are having but it worked for me

http://cl.ly/ZnsJ (drop it in /ect/ and overwrite using your favorite file-manager

copied it over before it was taking 15M to lock which is most likely due to the change in the aGPS server

now it locks within 5 to 20 seconds

Verizon devices are really touchy it seems, everything needs to be configured exactly how touchwizz is even stuff that really should't matter (throws rotten fish at Samsung)

I brought up the modem because you made it sound like the GPS was shutting down and then wouldn't re-enable on reboot at all .. which made me think firmware/module corruption which is basically impossible

as for the button debate ... meh no other s4 rom uses the on-screen buttons by default,but as you said its a fairly easy fix
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
I thought it was that as well. But replacing the GPS.conf file doesn't seem to fix it on the NK1 build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
I am running pure NC5 here seems the most stable and no need for the SElinux fix

I wonder if its the same type of issue with the power saving code as the mobile data,I know aGPS works over 3g/lte so there could be a issue there but its not likely as it *should* work over wifi ,, could be a issue with the SUPL APN config tho,

I really need to clone the ASOP Gitrepo and browse and reacquaint my self with the code-structure
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Failrunner:
Okay i got safe strap installed. I stalled the rom. Created the rom slot, wiped cache, and all that. When i boot up i'm at stock again. O.o I'm sick of stock!!! I wanna burn my phone! >: (
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
you need to activate the slot ...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Failrunner:
It's activated. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
try flashing the stockslot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Failrunner:
This! Thanks!!! Funny i thought to do that but i'm new to safe strap so i wasn't sure if it would be okay. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
rom slots don''t really work anyway

just make sure you flash superSU before rebooting into the rom the first time

http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Failrunner:
Anyway to fix it if i didn't install supersu? :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
assuming you still have safe-strap simply flash it from there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Failrunner:
Safestrap requires root and i don't have it. Edit: Nevermind i forgot i get the option to boot into safestrap on reboot. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
All,

After some thought, I really like Joe-Tech's Lollipop theme, but am unsure if I want it to be my daily driver, so as per a user request, I will release v1.3 tomorrow and it will be Un-Themed but stable and reliable.

Later this week I will release v2.0 which will incorporate Joe's theme. Though I won't be maintaining this build as much, for the reason that it won't be my DD.

Good news for both, I found a way to fix WiFi potentially without the NC2-Non-HLOS, just flash your modules after the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
splitting builds is never a good idea you end up doubling your work-load

you could provide the theme as a AROMA script,that would require minimal maintenance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jam0688:
any luck getting mtp working on 1.3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jhr5474:
I

See an upload in the OP!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fatapia:
YMMV as with any ROM, but in comparison with HD for me this ROM is way smoother and has better battery life. By smoother I mean my transitions never lock up switching between apps or just "skip" to the next screen. I play a game called Star Wars Force Collection and have bluetooth always on and connected and streaming some internet radio service, itll last me all day at work. Where HD would be dead before lunch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jhr5474:
And obviously they just typed uploading in there for looks? That was 8 hours ago and it wouldn't take that long to upload:(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
That was actually 5 days ago

he delayed the release and didn't edit the op

.... ffs people keep your pants on
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jhr5474:
LMAO, I should have read the thread a little more sorry. I flashed the latest and I am impressed with the stability other than the data issues because I cant find the mysterious apnfix.zip ANYWHERE! Nice smooth rom.

Sweetness! Can't wait to give er a try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
Sounds good, looking toward to the updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Well, the issue is that joes theme isn't an APK, its direct system theming via PNG replacement from the looks of it. Making it very hard to tell what exactly I would need to all replace.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
meh you could diff it but *effort*
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
*sarcasm* yeah. *sarcasm* That mostly why. If you want to mock up an aroma script and do the research, feel free :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
maby i will ;)

I honestly don't care what the theme is functionality > looks

I use nova launcher anyway because gnl is poo :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Slowbalt:
This is great that you are updating the rom. I am asking that you create a tut on how people are managing to get full 4gLTE and data to work continuously. I had to switch back to EvG b/c of the data issue with 1.2. I really like the rom but the data issue is what is holding me back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
wait for 1.3 and see its any better should be any time now ;0

the current theory is that the ASOP rom simply isn't being aggressive enough with the radio power
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jam0688:
I can't wait for the update. i personally don't care if its themed or not either. I use nova launcher as well. Google launcher has some bugs. I forgot to ask before, were you able to get wifi tethering working?

---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ----------

I seen a fix for it in the at&t galaxy s4 in the Google play edition/pure nexus rom. I was wondering if the same fix would work if you haven't got it working yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
read the change log it works

there really should be a icon for it tho having to open a terminal is a pain

should be do-able with tasker Or any number of shell script widgets
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jam0688:
Ah ok yeah i see it. I completely overlooked it. That's the same method for the other rom i mentioned i believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Here is an app I made up real quick. Nothing special but prevents anybody from having to open terminal everytime.

Just install the app and tap the icon to enable WifiAP.

This does exactly the same thing as running the terminal command.

Let me know if there are any issues.

Thanks

Link removed for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Yup. I wrote up a init script. Executable via a shortcut.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Oh ok. If the app shortcut is irrelevant them let me know and I will remove it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
WooHoo! This is great. Way better than the Init.d shortcut I had set up. May I include this?/Could you PM me the APK?

An idea for this would be to add a widget to execute it.

Any ATT Love ?

This rom is amazing..coming from the att joetech rom its on another level but can anyone please tell me if i can use this rom on my NB1 att s4? which currently is using joes rom ? please reply fast! Excited!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
You should be able to do like is VZW users for att roms. Copy the apn file to the rom using 7zip then flash the rom and flash your nb1 modules.

Incorrect information as of v1.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 06sharpshot:
Would using Titanium Backup to restore my apps and data cause any issues on this ROM? I know that Joe-Tech recommended not using it on Super Nexus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
No! It flashes multiple modems! Do not flash it! I am releasing 1.3 which I tested on the att s4 and it works fine. Release should be soon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Macmaster2000:
Could someone help with this?

It connected to the sms server from the beginning. Now I can't even do that.

I manually changed the apn settings and I got on 4G, but now the phone will not even find a network at all. I can't select a network operator, because it sits at registering with verizon, then it says it "can't connect to the network right now."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 06sharpshot:
I just did an ODIN back to NC5 and followed the OP exactly. I cannot get WiFi on even with soft reboots. Was I not supposed to flash the NC5 modules?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
change the network mode back to global and flash the apn settings I posted a page or so back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Dotn flash them next go around.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Macmaster2000:
How do I change it to global? I can only see 2g, 3g or 4g
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
install radio switcher and change to LTE/gsm/cdma/evdo

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snclabs.radioswitcher&hl=en

that should change it to 'global' under the setting panel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Macmaster2000:
I did this and it still says no service, emergency calls only
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 06sharpshot:
That seems to have worked. You may want to clarify that in the installation instructions in the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
I haven't had a issue flashing various modem packages iv probably flashed the modem 5 or 6 times
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 06sharpshot:
Okay, I seem to be having service issues. I have LTE working now but no calls or texts. I installed the linked apn zip and have tried using the apn changer app as well as the radio switcher and have tried using the GravityBox method.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
My bad. Fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jhr5474:
OK

i am officially salivating for this release........
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jam0688:
No since nc1 and nk1 already pre-installed flashing nc5 will cause wifi and service issues. I made this mistake myself the first go around since i was so use to flashing the nc5 modules i did so. Flashing the nc5 nonhlos fixed it for me though.

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

What else can we look forward to in 1.3 npjohnson? Besides the app my buddy worked on? Which was a brilliant idea btw lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fatapia:
you need to flash the apn zip, then reset your APN to "default" and that'll get you up and running I hope

---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

you need to flash the APN zip, it doesnt have the settings to connect to a tower
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Macmaster2000:
Ok, this is what I'm going to try: I had to odin flash stock back because I needed my phone today, and the backup I had made was corrupt. When I get home I will flash the NK1 kernel and try with that. I will also do the apn settings from the zip.

If anyone has any suggestions of what I need to do differently, please let me know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] coach_z:
I really like this rom but I have to jump through way too many hoops to get this thing running properly. I have Odin'd 3 times today but keep running into data/wifi/cell issues etc. I really hope that 1.3 eases the pain a bunch. I am tired of waiting for hyperdrive 21 and would like to use this instead.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
mixing and matching various versions of kernel/modem/nohols

is just plain bad mojo

if the device is coming from NC5 OR NK1 then that's the only version that should be *ever* be flashed!! do not at any point,never mix and match if you do, do a full wipe back to NC5 and re-partition the device as odds are something is screwed up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 06sharpshot:
I've stuck with full NC5 and done multiple odins back to it including using the pit file to repartition correctly and still had issues with cell service on this rom. I think that currently it is best for most of us to wait and see if 1.3 fixes these issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
odd the only issue I have had with the data is that it doesn't maintain a active data connection when wifi is connected

that and it not ramping the radio power enough for stable 4g/3g
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 06sharpshot:
I was having no calling and texting but consistent 4g having followed the OP exactly. Radios are an issue across pretty much all the GPE roms from what I've seen. I was able to get super nexus running previously by using the build prop and apns-cfg I pulled from my stock image.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Arkane416:
Same. Those are the only issues I have as well. Other than that the rom runs flawlessly.

I had that issue for a period as well. I realized that it was because it was stuck on an LTE(GSM) setting. You can see my post about it in detail a handful of pages back. What I did when I had all these cell and data issue was start from scratch and reflash the rom, and immediately after, flash the apn-fix. When it started it would start in global and connect to the network without a problem. Only issues are the ones that Legitsu mentioned. Which aren't really detrimental issues considering the rom is a WIP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Macmaster2000:
Ok, this is really annoying. Yesterday when I first installed the ROM I could make calls and text, but had no data. Now I have data, but no calls or text. Anyone

have a solution?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
try flashing the NOHOLS Package for your kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 06sharpshot:
Which APN zip did you flash? There are a lot of them floating around.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
try toggling the radio to lte/gsm/cdma/ with radio switcher else you may need to wait for 1.3 and the updated PRL

else go into the rom's apn settings and make sure 'VZWINTERNET" is selected
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Macmaster2000:
I still can't call or text. Get a mobile network not available error.

I think I will just wait for 1.3 with that PRL update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Arkane416:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934521717 , this is the apn fix that I used right after I flashed the rom. This is the fix I have been using. Works perfectly fine for me.

---------- Post added at 03:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 AM ----------

If you are having that issue, I would download and flash the apn fix file I just posted and then use gravitybox to change the preferred network type to either LTE(CDMA) or LTE(Global). You can do that from 'phone tweaks > smart radio', flip the master switch, and reset. Then from that same menu change 'normal network mode' and 'power saving network mode' to either of the two types I mentioned. Hopefully that works for you. I would suggest starting from scratch and reflashing everything, then immediately after, flashing the apn fix before starting the rom up for the first time. But you can obviously try just doing the fix and those steps first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Macmaster2000:
I will try this. And I have started from scratch 3 times. This is new, so this hopefully will work. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
just remember to disable xposed before upgrading to 1.3

I wonder what it would take to completely remove GSM Support from the ROM

I am beginning to think that's the real solution to all this,is to rip the att bits out of the rom

What we really need is LTE/CDMA/EVDO Radio mode "lock" option like the stock firmware provides

gravity box won't help because the issue is the rom source and its provided options for network mode preferences
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
I've not tried 1.3 yet but I've been following the last several pages of this thread and I had the same thought as you. If we could get rid of all the AT&T stuff then it might allow data to be more stable. My main issue with 1.2 was that I had to go back and change the radio mode to LTE/CDMA about every 30 minutes so that I could even make or receive calls. It seems it always wanted to revert back to WCDMA or GSM.

[MENTION=2257191]googlie[/MENTION] must have found the fix for it since his PSOA and Blackbox ROMs were AOSP based. Or am I completely off base? Been a long time since I ran either ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
its more about the rom being based on ATT GPE S4

I been experimenting on and off with it and even with excellent LTE signal and forcing LTE/CDMA via radio switcher its still wonky

I am sure its completely do-able to make it behave just a matter of time,relax have a cup of tea and watch the tele
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
so I assume 1.3 is delayed for some reason ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Ugh. Yes. I could release it, but then 1.4 would be out within another day or two. So...

Right Now, I'm working with another user on a WifiAP activator app, testing and such as of now.

I'm also having some issues with init.d support. I make the necessary changes, but then it doesnt work. I may have to include the Universal Init.d app for initial activation of init.d scrips and the k01shutdown script.

Also working on the LTE issue with some AOSP commits that I found lying around in the GS3 CM gerrit. Possible fix actually. :p

So yes, for now, 1.3 is still a WIP. I'd rather wait and release a super finished product.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
*grabs pitch fork and helps lynch gsm patches*
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jam0688:
Good to see you're progressing. I agree though I'd rather have a super stable rom myself.

Take your time man you'll get everything straightened out and i know we'll have pure butter here soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
Universal init.d seems to work great on about any ROM I've tried over the last few months. Anxious to try out 1.4 and glad to hear of the progress. If you need any other testers this weekend then drop me a PM and I'll try and help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
For init.d support I was able to get it to work on the GPE rom I'm running currently by:

Appending /system/etc/usf_post_boot.sh with /system/etc/init.d/*

I also appended /system/etc/install-recovery.sh with /system/etc/init.d/*

then adding this to /system/bin

#!/system/bin/sh

export PATH=/sbin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin
/system/bin/logwrapper /system/xbin/run-parts /system/etc/init.d

save as sysinit with 755 permissions.

I hope this helps.

Let me know. I'm willing to help any way I can.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
