Just got this MDK S4 so I need a little help from the pros here..
I don't see anywhere where I can select my APN and I can't get 4G at all. I've flashed the mk2 modem and here is what my settings look like...
I'm on AOKP 4.4 and I've flashed a couple other roms like Beanstalk and Slim and it's the same thing.
I'm sure I'm just over looking something.

Not sure if this is even rom related. I threw my sim card from my old s4 into this one. Everything seemed to work off the jump but maybe I have to call Verizon? I'm back on stock MDK now and still no 4g even after getting into apn settings and verifying everything. Not really sure.

Yea I just was jumping the gun cuz I thought I had it all going and working normally prior to flashing. But now that I think of it maybe I was wrong. My fault. I'll get another cup of coffee and get this brain thinking correctly.

Well I forgot that this phone connected up to my wifi at the house and I wasnt on 4g/lte
I was pre occupied with fixing this thing. When I got it it had both TWRP and CWM installed and it was screwing things up big time. Phone was bootlooping etc.. Just not acting normal. Did a full wipe.. Then I wasc teaching myself how to root MDK and Loki and new throw TWRP back on. Anyways I didn't notice that itv actually never said connected to 4g. Dumb mistake on my part.

Plus it all works perfectly except all I get is 3g so just an oversight on my part

The lady I spoke with at Verizon said I should have good just to pop my sim into this one and go. . However sometimes it doesn't take all the way and you need to call. Figure going from one s4 to another would be easy but she said because they are the same exact phone pretty much that it may have screwed up the id numbers more easily. Hey you got me. Course now I have to wait until I'm home and have both phones powered off and on front of me. Suppose I was too eager to fire this one up and get my aosp on .
Hey thanks for checking in though. .. pretty silly mistake on my part but I'm human what can I do
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well not that this really should have been a thread in the first place but...
A new sim card fixed the issue. They said that sometimes for no reason at all you'll need a new one when switching between phones.

Hey guys I was messing with some modems and I think I flashed the wrong one and now I can't get signal to make phone calls. Does anyone have a link to the Verizon modems so I can get my signal back. I also tried restoring a nandroid backup but it restores with no signal. Oh yeah is the radio the same as the modem? Thanks.

Right on man! I'm up and running again. Thanks a million, just wondering what's the difference with the different radios?
I flashed all 3 radios and all 3 just give me a 3g signal. Maybe its because I'm indoors, idk, I'll see what it looks like when I step outside.

They were just the radios that were included in the VZW updates, most times there is little difference.
It really depends on what area you are in and how strong your tower is, everyone experiences something different.

Yo bro, um the radios are great but all I get is a 3g signal all the time. I thought if I went outside I might see a 4g but nothing. Is there a 4g radio around where you can point me to. I tried to Google it but it just shows me the radios I already have . I'm in San Francisco and I always get 4g but now just the 3g.

They are all LTE/CDMA/EvDO radios. You should check mobile settings and make sure you have it set to either Global or LTE/CDMA/EvDO. If that doesn't work we need to know what ROM you're on to begin with.

Getting "Error install aborted". Finding a fix now. Release 1 might get delayed.
Pushing Release 1 til finished. Getting errors on flash.
Turns out that it's Ubuntu that's causing issues with compression. I am going to complie on my sisters laptop later. So check tonight for the file.
Heres the dealo. First release is going to combine apps from play store. Second release is changing boot animation and Ringtones. Third is change font and default system sounds. Forth is going to be bug fixes and change it to a stable. Fifth is going to add a change of first boot looks to make my rom special and different then a Modded AOKP. Sixth I add a custom status bar to make us special. Seventh bug fixes and stable it. Eighth is settings menu is going to be changed to Windows 8 phone. Ninth is bug squashing. And that's the planned minium by ideas.
Update! Gonna combine all first 3 releases into 1. That way less flashing. Follow my Google + account: [email protected] for updates on the project. First release in 7 days (9.27). Loving the support!

Your opinion. I posted this around 2 hours ago so people want it as you can see. Lots of responces in a short time
340 views in 9 hours! Impressive. Seems like people like Windows 8 phone. So because of the interest, if anyone will like to donate to expand support to multiple devices. I'll set up PayPal later. Next device to buy is Nexus 5. I'll preorder the device when it's announced and complile on there as well. I want this rom to be as popular as CM! Ambitious but will happen with your support.

It's going to start as a themed AOKP rom and turn into an epic rom with original status bar to settings menu. You have to start somewhere. It's my first rom as well. So first few releases are themed AOKP then turns into a great and original rom. I want this to turn into a perfect and original rom like CM. Starting small.

I'm poor man lol. The thing is I need a windows phone to match the ROM 100 percent accurately. Goal is 85 for a low end unlocked phone. I'm setting up a kick Starter later tonight. First release of the rom is set for 9.27. It's early but I'm committed to providing a rom made for accuracy. 85 is needed to make it original because I am coding parts of the ROM and I want a windows phone for a base start. Kickstarter link come in later.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
This is the dealo for real. The ROM can go as far as pre made things put together. Without a windows phone for a base, I can't code my stuff. I'm going to get a windows phone soon so until then first release is just pre-made stuff. Kickstarter is to hard to put my rom on it (they want to much info). So I need to buy the phone when I get into some money. Sorry but thats the only way. If anyone have a windows phone laying round they mind giving, then perfect. But Yup. The project is still going. But can only go so far. Love ya XDA!

Most demos are real phones but in a special mode. If you can hand one off to me then I can start coding if not then I need to wait for christmas. Any Windows 8 phone will do. Testing a bunch of apps and setting now. So far going well for a 1 man thing (My other friend is busy with work)

Yes, its done, a stock root deodexed version. Two issues though, one wifi wont reliably work and every now and again it force closes. Building roms isnt my expertise though, ill probably have to ask beans or andybones for some help. Maybe one of them gets it done before me? Ive also been porting a bunch of 4.3 apps over (have about 12 that work right now) but im easily distracted lol plus its football Sunday!

For what it's worth, I would not, and I haven't read anything beyond the first post. It's not made for your phone. You become a test pilot, although I suspect some have had success with it.

That's what scares me lol. It has a 3300mah stock battery and it has pogo pins on the back so you can connect a flip case they sell that has a 1200mah battery built in. So 4500mah is pretty good but it doesn't beat the piece of mind of having a few charged batteries ready to go.

How can i debloat my galaxy s4? its rooted and i have Safestrap, however im running stock firmware not a custom rom.
Try Hyperdrive, it's better than stock.
Or just use titanium backup to freeze whatever you don't want - freezing hides from app drawer/etc.
Last time I used hyper drive battery was ****. Well not very well compared to stock.

Well some people use a one click debloater that can be found in these forums.. I prefer to do it myself though using Titanium Backup. Its a good idea though to " freeze " the apps your looking to get rid of first then run your phone for a few days to make sure everything still works good. Then you can uninstall them. Or at least back them up to your external SD card before uninstalling. There's also lists on here that people made of everything they've safely removed. Good luck!
