To everyone who uses Safestrap, how did you get 4G LTE working?
I downloaded the ME7-modules that allows you to use Wi-Fi, but for some reason I'm only getting 3G.
Any help is appreciated.
Works fine on mine. Maybe try wiping everything again like 3 times, install rom, install modules, then wipe cache and dalvik again, then fixing permissions. Give that a shot.
Hey by the way, does your home button work with these new roms?

Tried that, didn't work unfortunately.
And which ROM? I've flashed two and the 4G has not worked in either, but the home button worked in both.

Is your bootloader MDK or ME7?
Sorry I meant to say, does the home button WAKE the device? Sorry.

This is a ROM specific feature. I found a toggle that allows me to wake the device in the ROM settings. Check there.
Also, my issue was resolved by enabling LTE in the network settings.

since the new cm rebase kernel was pushed some things have changed.
my old enable/disable no longer works on the new rebase so here is the new zips
should work on all cm/aosp based 4.2.2 and 4.3 roms
disable: http://www.blownco.com/index.php/doc_download/13402-disable-capacitive-buttons-new-jd81
enable: http://www.blownco.com/index.php/doc_download/13403-enable-capacitive-buttons-new-jd81
for 4.1.2 roms use

enable: http://www.blownco.com/index.php/doc_download/640-enable-capacitive-buttons-jd81-zip
just flash in recovery and reboot *put both zip's on your phone* flash disable and reboot, if you dont like it then flash enable and go on with your day
if this zip doesnt work for you *ie buttons still work after reboot* well then you dont have the proper rom,
either go on with your day or
-open a file manager
-go to /system/usr/keylayout
-delete the file sec_touchkey.kl
-reboot and go on with your day

Thought I'd share this for anyone who wants to disable the capacitive button lights. Credit goes to the original post I found at..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2210765
To turn off capacitive button lights:
1. Download a file manager with root access. I used Root Browser.
2. Go to system/lib/hw
3. Find the file named 'lights.msm8660.so'
4. Rename it to anything such as "lights.msm8660.so.old"
5. Reboot.
You must be deodexed for this to work and on the most current ROM which is "AMDL" I suggest using Nottach's PRom found here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258904
I have personally tested this on 3 different units all running the PRom with no issues at all...
If you are running a Rogers device and want this then PM me a copy of your deodexed android.policy.jar file and I will take a look at it. I only need one so I will delete this once I receive it....
Here is a quick mod I put together....It will give you the long menu press to kill feature as well as the extended reboot menu. You must have CWM or TWRP in order to install..Just go to recovery and install the zip...
Based on feedback below this mod doesn't seem to work with Rogers.. I will look into it and see what's up.
Flash at your own risk....
This has been tested on an att S4 with twrp/loki...
I also found this which works for increasing your volume..Just install the zip from recovery..this really increases the volume may be to loud for some..

So if you open an app and once opened you hold the menu button down the app should close and a little message is displayed saying killed:appname.
If you press the power button to turnoff or restart phone and you hit restart a new menu should pop up..this doesnt happen either????
are you odex or deodex??

Anyways you can add a Version that just had the four way reboot and not the long press menu? Or even better make long press back button to kill app rather than menu. I used long press menu for search alot
Works great for me. Thanks for a great mod. :good:
I am on AT&T odex'd with CWM auto loki.. Gonna flash again after back up! Really just want for reboot but kill button would be nice too. Also gonna try manually replacing policy.jar file.. Will update with results.
*UPDATE*
So manually replace policy file had no affect either. Well keep testing and report back.
Hey guys/gals, here is a fix for the VZW GS4 that resolves the issue of WiFi hotspot tethering. In the latest update, you now get an errors message that checks for an active subscription and then gives you an error and turns off the hotspot. Here are 2 methods I found.
Method 1: Download any app that allows you to freeze/defrost packages. If you cannot find one or do not have one, download an app called System Tuner by 3c. You have to find a package called "SPG" (system package). Freeze this package and it will prevent the phone from checking for a subscription service. Run your non-factory hotspot app. It will crash and maybe freeze for the first time, and then exit, just reopen it and it should then work.
Method 2: Using System Tuner, find the package called "SPG" and click on it so that it becomes highlighted. Then click "Details" so that it brings up the info about the app. It should show a list of packages under the "Activites" section (near the bottom). Uncheck the box labeled "NewSPGActivity". After this, you can run your hotspot app and it should crash/freeze for the first run. After that, it should run smoothly.
I hope this works for you all. If you have any questions or issues, just reply to this thread. Don't forget to give me a thanks!
Note: Do not use the built-in wifi hotspot toggle switch, it will crash. Download an app from the market to toggle it.
Note: If you cannot access the settings by clicking on the Hotspot notification, do this: settings>more networks>mobile hotspot.
Note: I am running ME7 with 4.2.2 JellyBean and stock rom.

Foxfi works with no subscription notice all you have to do is make a pattern lock when it asks you.

What exactly force closed?
If you are trying to run the hotspot from the built it button, it will crash. Use an external app for your hotspot. I use "1-click tether" at the moment. I'm going to do some more looking right now.

I just use the toggle. Then, after that hold down the home button for recent apps and go right back to what I was doing...
Yes, was trying to use the built in button and the app crashed. I haven't had any problems with third party tether toggle apps. After getting the subscription check and hitting the home button I am good to go.

FoxFi uses your data plan, so if you don't have unlimited data it will cost you a lot of money. The technique I'm using prevents the phone from checking if you have an active subscription or not. Also, FoxFi limits how long you can use it continuously if you don't purchase the pro version. I used to use FoxFi before i rooted my phone.
On VRUAME7 build hack is not required. Toggle the built-in Wifi hotspot on and as soon as the subscription check message comes up just press the home button and it will go in the background but you will be able to still use tethering.
i just froze that app. and installed a third party wifi tether app and it worked .,thanks

IF you are correct, you still have to deal with the message every time you want to tether. Also, since you have to hit the home button, if you want to change your setting or anything then you have to go back into the app and deal with the message again. This just makes it easier. Your idea just avoids the issue, mine fixes it. I wasn't trying to be rude or anything. Have a good day!

Haven't heard anything concrete yet. I went ahead and rooted, and froze an SDM app. I cant afford to lose FoxFi. Hopefully this works.
Edit: Just saw on another Forum that the KitKat update will indeed negate FoxFi from working.
The release of FoxFi today now supports WiFi under KitKat on the Verzion Galaxy S4, if that's any help.

I have found that if you have a backup way of getting in to your phone past the PIN, you can make the "mistake" of messing up your pin too many times, and use the backup method to remove it so you can "set it again". Do not set it, and you can keep the certificate with no PIN. Not sure if this works on KitKat, but it did on 4.3 Jelly Bean Build MK2.
As long as you don't have the option to wipe your phone if you try the PIN too many times, anyway. Hah common sense, but disclaimer none the less.
foxfi works!
Went all weekend with out wifi tethering....today there is a foxfi update, that makes it work. :laugh:
Edit:....I did not have to set a pin. It said to 'go to settings and manually turn on mobile hotspot with in 30 seconds'.
I didnt do it in time the 1st time and it didnt work. 2nd time it worked when I did it quickly....
Whenever I turn tethering on via Bluetooth (only working method atm) it switches my APN to EHRPD - Verizon Internet from LTE - Verizon Internet. Even if I manually switch it back to LTE it'll auto switch back to EHRPD. The problem is EHRPD is only connecting me to 3G and I really don't want to browse the internet with speeds of 0.50 MB/s.
Would it be safe to delete the EHRPD APN? or is there any other way of stopping it from switching?
No idea here. I have never looked at APN settings. Tethering via WiFi works fine for me.

I always saw this as a way for someone else to call 911 in the event you're incapacitated. But I guess since pretty much everyone has a cell phone now, it's not really necessary.
