BoneStock ROM Discussion - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Thought it might be useful to start a thread over here to relieve some of the congestion & frustration from the one in the Dev section.
Here we, as users of BoneStock, can share and help each other without bothering a great developer with every detail. I wouldn't expect andybones to show up here at all. If it's something we can sort out we can then take it over to the Dev section to get his attention.
I'll start it off with a subject andybones has already disavowed himself of.....
I'm still on the stock kernel and looking for experiences with the one from ktoonsez. I had very good results with a later version (7/24?) when on JellyBeans but have seen others posting best results on the 7/7 build. Just looking for a bit more information/experiences before taking the plunge.
Aroma Dependencies
athlonxp2300 has started a good thread on interdependencies based on choices you may make during installation. You can find the discussion over here in the T-Mobile forum.

I can't address bluetooth but my wifi is just fine. Using the mdk radio as well. Any mods installed? You might try a reflash to rule that out. Also are you on the stock kernel?

Not sure. All of the problems you are having are working great for me. I use hot spot everyday. I tried out the Ktoonz kernel yaesterday, the 8/4 I believe it was. Great at first but then had weird things start happening like icons on my home screen being blacked out, they were there but just a silhouette. Then random black boxes would appear in the background, like on the wallpaper. I could still see my icons. Anyone else have any issues similar to this? Went back to stock kernel and problems went away, and this was the first time I tried any Kernel besides stock.

Is there anyway to theme the status bar? I came from jelly beans ROM and loved be able to change my status bar color, battery etc. I know 3minit does this but not sure how that works on bonestock.

Please forgive me for asking such an obvious question, but are you sure wifi is enabled? The only time I see the bottom button grayed out is when it's not. I know I've overlooked something this simple myself.

SystemUI.apk is the one that edits everything status bar, I am currently working on AOSP theme port right now, though.

So will the port be in a updated rom or just something flashable on top of the current rom version?
Very excited to change the status bar

Sounds like that may be the nut of the problem. I know there are some differences but not really familiar with them. Hopefully someone else knows more.

been using other roms,used darkslide until i had to do battery pulls and reboot

Sorry, no answers, but questions....
Did you use the settings Ktoonz recommended or just the default?
Have you tried the 7/7 version?
Agree, that stock seems fine other than the couple of known issues.

---

just default,even reflashed default mdk kernel to be sure,still no go,it won't let me switch wifi on,i move slider and and goes right back,same with bluetooth,has to be something simple and stupid on my part

I did use the recommended settings, but have not tried the 7/7 version yet. I will give that a try at work tomorrow and report back. What? You don't expect me to actually work at work do you???

like I already said, please find the wifi modules.zip in one of scrosslers threads or flash a custom kernel with them.

Thanks.
Why work when you can play with your phone?
OK, I decided nothing from nothing is, well....(and what are backups for?)....just flashed the 8/9 kernel and will run a while with the default settings - touching nothing - and see how it goes. My intention is to let it go for some time (overnight? a day?) and if all is well change a very small group settings, rinse and repeat. I'll report back.
If you do go the 7/7 route please let us know the results. Could be informative to compare.

Didn't take long. Came back to my phone & it had shut down. After booting it reported a couple of apps not installed - XDA being one. Recovered them from backup, reboot & now back up & going. Will see where it goes.
