I was able to fix the mobile data issue on 1.3 for Verizon. I simply replaced the build prop and APN confs to those for Verizon. Go into system and replace the build prop then go into system/etc and replace apn.confs.xml. it works better if you do it on a PC and make sure to make a copy of the original before you change anything just in case. This is for Verizon users but the same method should work for all just replace them with the proper build prop and apn confs. I compressed the files into a zip but it is not a flashable zip. Extract the contents to the PC somewhere. https://www.dropbox.com/s/psjb0aqohnrqx51/S4.zip?dl=0
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
? Its there and at the very bottom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
APN is fine, but build prop seems uneccesary and a tad dangerous. Whatever works for you though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
I can't believe i didn't think of that.

Thats what i had to do for one of the other aosp roms.

But now that I look back we probably dont need to replace the build.prop bc this rom is made for verizon

Whereas the other aosp was built for att.

Great idea!

I'm downloading the rom again.

Something doesnt look right in my copy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jam0688:
Well its the same method me and klabit87 used on the gpe ROM that we were on. So far this has been the only way to fix the mobile data issue after trying everything this worked. Thought I'd like to share my work. Lol everything is working now without a glitch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Oh. Well, then maybe it is a good idea. :p lemme know if it fixes it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jam0688:
I'm gonna test for a day or so and I'll let you know if I have any issues with it. Never did with gpe though so we should be good lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
I'll compare the build props. With stock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jam0688:
Aight sounds like a plan. I do have an idea for your updates in the future although I'm sure its been mentioned before but never hurts to refresh ones memory. Lol. Maybe make an aroma installer in the ROM that will allow you to select which provider you are on. Aroma itself would be a great idea anyways I think lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 06sharpshot:
Aren't there edits to the build prop for this rom? Does using the stock buildprop mess anything up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jam0688:
Hasn't messed anything up on mine so far. Been running it a few hours now without any problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
After looking more into it i believe you should be able to get everything working properly without replacing the build.prop.

Just the apn-conf.xml will do.

But the vzw-apnfix.zip does just that unless something isnt quite right with the file itself.

If you are on VZW I would suggest flashing the vzw-apnfix.zip after flashing the rom and before the first boot of the rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jam0688:
I wasn't able to get the vzw APN zip to fix the mobile data though

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

The one I have tho could be botched. But either way mobile data is working without a hitch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Also if anybody is interested here is a zip to remove the soft-keys and return to the capacitive keys if you wish

DisableSoftkeyReenableCapKey.zip

I'm on NC5. Was a fresh odin to stock with reinstalled everything (supersu, ss, busybox, selinux) and There were not icons for a lot of apps. I'm redownloading now and going to try a dirty flash over v1.2 and see what occurs. Will post back with updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Redownload 1.3. Sounds like a bad download
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
bad download or unsafe eject of the microsd card
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] will1417721:
Probably was. Is there a way to have the lollipop theme you were talking about in this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Soon, not yet. Im actually also working on a sort of OTA updater, but that's a ways out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] will1417721:
How can we enable the hidden menu?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
I could be wrong but I dont think you can on any aosp rom.

It lacks the hidden.apk I believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
you can I posted instructions for that a while back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Ah ok. I missed that then.

I will be looking back for it.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jhr5474:
perfect

I took the dive last night. Flashed 1.3 and then Verizon APN fix coming from empty galaxy and I have had 0 problems. No data issues even in bad areas. Super fast, LTE is fine. I am safe strapped and once again not 1 issue. Thank you for your work. This is a great ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jhr5474:
Well. I SPOKE TO SOON. MOBILE NETWORK NOT AVAILABLE. Can't make calls. Not even on my stock slot which is very strange. Should have tested before I left the house. Off to Odin land when I get home. Weird and sad:(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
try radio switcher and toggle between LTE/GSM AND back to LTE/GSM/CDMA

Global mode is really screwy on verzion devices it seems hes working on it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kole_Ackerson:
It worked for me! I have 3g ATM, just due to the area I'm in. Better then nothing right now!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Let us know if you get LTE in a known area.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jhr5474:
I am good with it for now. I flashed empty galaxy rom back and everything is fine. What I found strange was that after flashing this rom my stock slot wont even make phone calls.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
When that happened to me on 1.2 I switched to hd20 and set the mobile network settings to global and did reboot that fixed it for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kole_Ackerson:
Confirmed I have LTE! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daventodd123:
Backing up my apps/their data and my texts right now; will flash v1.3 once everything finishes! I'm going to do a speedtest with the 4G I have at my house while I'm still on HD20 to see if the speeds are that affected by the ROM switch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BhavyaBirla:
Amazing rom! Any walk through for att users?

Iam on NB1 att and I want to flash this rom. My phone is sim unlocked and Iam using the Vodafone India network. Can anyone please help me how to flash this. Iam currently on Joes rom pure Nexus. Please help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daventodd123:
Just installed everything coming from Hyperdrive RLS20 and LTE/Text/Calls works perfectly after using the Radio Switcher app on Google Play! Will update later if anything starts acting up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
I did a full wipe with Odin to NC5 and flashed KP 1.3 cleanly on the stock slot then the VZW APN fix. After the first boot, I did a soft boot to see if WIFi would work but no luck. I just simply rebooted and and flashed my NC5 modules and it worked fine I've been running flawlessly for over 24 hours now and my battery life has been great. LTE signal is almost always usually weak at my house since we are in a valley and surrounded by mountains but I'm happy to report LTE signal has stayed stable at -93db.

I also drove to a spot where LTE is blazing fast and ran a speed test last night. I got well over 40 Mbps which is twice what my cable modem does at home. lol Excellent work on this ROM. This was a good update and I'll report back if I spot any other issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] will1417721:
I have been running this for a day after running into some problems the first time. Odin back to NC5, restored my v1.2 and dirty flashed over it. WiFi still works on my stock slot too. Thank you guys for the help the other day. I also am willing to test if you need me to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Sorry but you can't use this unless you modify it.

This rom contains the Verizon nk1 modem so it would probably brick your device instantly.

If you wish to use the rom you will need to remove the modem and replace the apns-config.xml
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
Just a quick follow up. I'm being told that my phone is ringing 5-7 times when someone tries to reach me even though it only rings once on my end. I seem to recall some sort of build.prop edit that would help this issue. Anyone have ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] maximusmullivan:
The rom contains a modem? I doubt that. Looks like the OP provides the files and instructions for flashing them outside of the rom.

Sent from my Nexus 7 2013
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
The instructions given in the OP are for wifi modules.

Not the modem

The modemnk1.bin is the modem and the updater-script instructs the file to be flashed to /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 which is the radio modem location.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
Ok, an observation I've noticed here today while using 1.3. The radio mode still doesn't survive or stick after soft reboots or full reboots. Upon boot up it may be set to GSM, WCDMA or it might be set correctly to LTE/CDMA (auto PRL). It just seems to change randomly for some reason. I'm guessing this issue is still WIP? On a side note, the APN settings do seem to stick after reboots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 06sharpshot:
I just got around to flashing the update and everything seems to be working great. Good job on the update and excellent ROM. I will use this as my DD if it continues to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daventodd123:
I'm gonna post my process to install this with everything working when I get home. I've installed it on 3 S4's today and GPS/LTE/Cell/WiFi has all been working on each phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
I am working on an AROMA Script to allow all S4 variants and S4 active models to install it. Not right now though, sorry, check back in a few weeks.

If you really want it, download Win-RAR, and open the ROM zip in that (Don't Unzip it!), then delete the ModemNK1.bin file, and then go to /PATHTOZIP/Meta-INF/com/google/android/updater-script, drag that file to your desktop and open it, delete the following lines entirely:

assert(package_extract_file("modemnk1.bin", "/tmp/modemnk1.bin"),

write_raw_image("/tmp/modemnk1.bin", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2"),

delete("/tmp/modemnk1.bin"));

Then drag the updater-script back in place, and choose compression = store when prompted.

Correct, as stated earlier, I am working on a way to get AROMA up, which would allow the flashing of different carriers, Apps, etc.

Ugh. NC5 or NK1? PRL is really hard to work with in the source, as it is set at a low level, and due to the ROM being originally based off an ATT one, its coded to ATT, Ive merged VZW stuff, but that just doesn't seem to change much. Need some more time to do research :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
havent done this is a while, but you can call a VZW # and change the amount of times it rings. Google is your friend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
I'm on NC5 using the NK1 modem only. It's not a huge problem really, just have to use Radio Switch or something like Galaxy Tools to switch it over. After the switch it is sometimes necessary to put it in airplane mode for a few seconds and then it's ok.

As for the number of rings for incoming calls, there is a dialer code to punch in but from everything I've read it was for AT&T users. I'm going to try it anyway and see what happens...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
I'm aware you can change the # of rings before it is sent to voice mail.. but don't recall seeing how if possible to change the number of rings I hear compared to the caller.

possible?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jibgilmon:
Do you have this project on GitHub?

Safestrap NK1

After about an hour of googling and searching this forum, I can't find an answer to my question, and this ROM looks sexy.

earlier today I went back to stock NC5 and took the NG6 and NK1 OTA updates. My question is, how do I go about getting safestrap? I've managed to root it already, but need safestrap to get this ROM. Sorry if I'm posting somewhere I shouldn't. Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
This is the post you need to read up on.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56030788&postcount=2281

I hope you get everything setup the way you like it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Ok, I got the reboot module unload working. Ended up symlinking "reboot" to an unload script, then calling "reboot1" at the end of the script. Reboot1 being the actual reboot command. In v1.4, a soft reboot should only be needed after a battery pull.

I have UMS kind of working. If anyone want to find a way to get rid of the stupid VZW CD Installer, then it will work. I got the SD card to unmount, and the PC to mount the phone, just not the SD Card. B/c the VZW CD takes over.

I also got the APN to stick (I think...), as it appears safestrap flashed APNs dont like to stick, but ones manually moved into place stick fine, I have an init.d script that runs behind the setup wizard to replace the APN.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
No, not open source. It would require quite a few people a permission. The original Super Nexus for the i9505 is open source I believe though, code base should be very similar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rp1226:
First of all, thanks for the hard work. It looks good, aside from my problems...

Looks like the APN won't stick for me. My service says "Empty" and won't change even with manual APN settings/vzwapn_fix/gravity box. No data connection either.

But I just wanted to share the AOSP rom that works for me.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/how-to-install-aosp-s4-google-edition-t2817708

I've been using this rom since October or so of this year. I was able to get my APNs copied over from my stock rom and works great! LTE works and so does GPS. I wonder if there are any points of convergence for these roms. I personally like the minimalistic rom with less extra stuff and I just download what I need.

Thank you again for the hard work! its nice to see someone is still looking out for us Bootloader locked S4 users!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
You did flash the VZW APN fix mentioned in the OP? Also, I found that you may have to go into the APN settings and select 'reset to default' and then all the APNs will show up. I've not had the APN issue on 1.3 though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rp1226:
I did flash the APN fix. I didn't try 'reset to default'. But a little late now. Currently running GPE rom from the link I posted. I might give it another shoot when 1.4 is release.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rp1226:
So I reinstalled everything and looks like this time it took it. I had to use advanced signal status to change the signal and this it worked.

Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Arkane416:
Just dirty flashed 1.3 over my working 1.2. So far everything is working flawlessly. In a bad area for LTE so I only have 3g. I will report back about whether it stays that way or not, once I am in a better area. This is a fantastic ROM and you've all done a brilliant job with it. THANK YOU.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] enzogtr1:
help please

've never flashed a custom rom before if except weekend rooting my phone I'm on nk1 is this rom ment to be installed on the stock slot or can I put it in slot 1 or 2? Also do I first flash version 1 and then 1.3? And if I do install it to slot 1 or 2 is it still necessary to wipe full austen? ? Any help would be much appreciated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Arkane416:
You can flash 1.3 by itself. You want to do it on the stock slot. Do a full wipe first before doing so (data, system, cache, delvcache). Flash the rom and then flash the vzw-apnfix.zip immediately afterward, before rebooting for the first time. The apnfix file has been linked numerously throughout this thread. Outside that, you should be good. Any issues with wifi and things like that are discussed throughout the thread as well. GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY! This is a fantastic ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] enzogtr1:
Thanks allot I'm gonna try it I must admit I'm nervous.. lol so after I do the wipe install the rom followed by the apn fix and then the modules before I reboot?? Also what other root apps are are essential for any root user I'm not really sure of how to use busy box but I did install it on my phone but I really don't know if I need it or not but thanks allot brother can't wait to try this out is it allot better then stock 4.4.2?

---------- Post added at 03:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 AM ----------

sorry I forgot to mention my Verizon Galaxy S flashed over to metro pcs posted I still install the Verizon Apn settings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] enzogtr1:
One more thing sorry to bug what is dirty boot??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
You mean dirty flash?

Thats when you flash a rom without wiping anything.

A lot of people have had success with this but I wouldn't.

If something is buggy then you will just have to wipe everything and flash again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Arkane416:
Haven't had any luck with LTE so far with 1.3. [MENTION=5417447]Legitsu[/MENTION] , have you had any luck with LTE on your end running 1.3? I know you were having the same issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] daventodd123:
I have it working by flashing the APN fix then flashing the actual NK1 modem. I then used Radio Switcher to set it to LTE/GSM/CDMA and I have LTE/3G/cell everywhere I usually have it. The signal is misreported sometimes (it says I don't have signal but I can still call and text) but the LTE emblem is always true for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] will1417721:
Is anybody running this on T-Mobile that has LTE working? I've tried a GSM patch but didn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
I believe [MENTION=5848265]npjohnson[/MENTION] tests with a T-Mobile sim. So it should work fine. Have you tried switching to global using the radio switcher app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 06sharpshot:
I've flashed away to something more stable as after a while I lost the ability to text and call and the radio switcher method didn't fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
I recall seeing this issue posted before but couldn't find reference to it... when I finish a call and remove phone from my ear, it stays at a black screen, and I have to hit the power button a few times which usually works but sometimes not. Anyone recall a fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
per my last post, I do think now I have a sensor issue, and not a ROM issue. If I were to have my phone replaced and it came with NK1 (or whatever the latest is)... would I be able to flash to an older FW to root or would I be stuck with the TWiz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Before you go that far I do recall having this issue a while back.

Try this app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vrognaas.proximityfix

It fixed my issues which were the same exact as you are describing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
yup, tried that and no luck :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Do tw roms yield the same results?

Do you see any activity from the proximity sensors in any apps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
what I am seeing (using a test app) is that once the sensor is triggered and goes to zero, it does not reset and turn screen back on when sensor is uncovered. I just flashed to stock rooted nc5 and it is doing it also. may odin to non-rooted stock and see if it still happens, to verify it is hardware (or a dirty sensor). I did the compressed air thing and no luck. not going to attempt to take apart to clean, I am not handy doing stuff like that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
If you're not seeing any activity from the sensor in a testing app then I hate to day but it does sound like the sensor is bad.

But on a side note if your new device were to come with nk1, I would downgrade to nc5 then root and go from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
yup, my thoughts to... the sensor does show as active until it is triggered... then will not reset. I am used to apple in that once you upgrade the FW (or get newer) you are stuck. I wasn't sure if it was the same with android.

thanks for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
The downgrade is only possible with nk1 - nc5. No other firmwares allow it.

So trying to go back to mdk wont work. Just so you know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
thats fine, I never had MK1 on this phone, and am sure the replacement wont have it. NC5 or NK1 is good. unless it comes with w newer than nk1? what is the newest anyway, I've been out of the loop on them recently.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Nk1 is the newest. If there is anything newer we would love for you to dump it for us lol

One guy in the Hyperdrive thread claims his wife got an update but we think he may be meaning for the s5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
strange..maybe not the sensor after all. I odined to nc5 unrooted stock and it works perfect now, while it didn't on nc5 rooted that I flashed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Maybe Odin finally got it fixed properly.

Root, safestrap, and rom it and test to see what it does now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
seems that odin did fix whatever was causing the issue, knock on wood.

update: spoke to soon.. started repeating the issue. Seems to be ROM issue, since it worked fine stock and not rooted/rom?

thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
This is a known 4.4.4 AOSP issue, check the N5 forums, it's all over there. No definitive fix, ap I would take a look at those forums and see of you can find a fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] will1417721:
[MENTION=5848265]npjohnson[/MENTION] I will do that. Hopefully we can figure something out. I'd love having the service I pay for without spending $600 on a Nexus 6.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tech 4 9:
I'm on rooted nk1 4.4.2. Will this work for me? Should I update to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4? What are pros and cons of updating?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
You need SAFESTRAP 3.75 A03 installed, and then just follow the steps in the OP.

To point it out, the OP says it is compatible with NK1.... but its all good.

4.4.4 is a security update from 4.4.3, you can Google and read the changelogs for the Nexus 5, they will be very similar from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3.

[MENTION=5848265]npjohnson[/MENTION]

interesting behavior here

install radio switcher from the play store

change the mobile network mode to LTE via the Rom menu

radio switcher reports LTE/GSM

change the mobile network to 2G

Radio switcher reports GSM ONLY

change the mobile network to 3G

Radio switcher reports WCDMA Prefered ,,,

Change To LTE/CDMA With radio switcher and you get 3G

also its critical that any data testing you do is done with the wifi-disabled
