What about your browser? Is it set to memory card for downloads? See... Usually I get weird errors like that when mine is set but mine is reversed because of the swap init.d script. Maybe the download was incomplete. I'm really puzzled cause we have the same ROM...

Of course! Generally the only time you have to worry about cross carrier compatibility is when using modems (aka radio). Most. Roms are cross compatible and will strickly say so. Apps don't matter 99% of the time. Enjoy!

Oh ok. I asked because I did a crazy thing. I downloaded the GMAIL 4.6 from here for the Nexus (without looking @ the phone it was uploaded for) and installed it on my Note 2, and it caused my Note to go into an endless reboot sequence. The only resolution I had was to Factory restore my Note2 and all the apps and data. So, I'd like to avoid that again. I'll wait for the official release...lol

I'm pretty sure they started splitting some Google apps up by os versions. I've been able to run most. Maybe the one you grabbed was for 4.3... Did you end up pushing the file to the system instead of just installing it? That might have cause a boot loop but it is still weird. I'd don't blame you for waiting lol! Next time keep a nandroid backup handy for all accidents

Has anybody tried 1.7 yet? Wondering if Facebook sync works - seems like this doesn't work on any roms I have tried yet...
Don't believe you can sync Facebook in Jager 1.7
I can confirm it does not support syncing Facebook contacts. It also doesn't support live wallpapers. I just learned that a few minutes ago. Not a big deal to me, but I know for some that is a deal breaker.
ya, there's no HTC facebook option, and i can't select the regular facbook. i would just use his sense rom for facebook, plus it has hydras undervold kernel and wireless N included.
anyone been able to get titanium backup to work with this rom, for some reason app wont open then fc's after a bit
I've had no issues running titanium backup on jager 1.7. You might wast to try reinstalling it.

I don't know when this started, but all my cards show an "unexpected error" message. Last time I know it worked was October 7. I've had this problem for a few weeks. I can hit try again but just get the error again. I updated to this version and still have the problem. I'm on PA for VZW.
Has anyone used the app to request a Google Wallet card from Google? Like here: http://phandroid.com/2012/11/01/google-wallet-credit-card/
I haven't been able to find a menu where I can request a physical card. Maybe it's only on the source-built Wallet?

Hello Everyone, I'm proud to present you with a port of the Unofficial AOKP ROM for our T-Mobile Galaxy S4's. Most of the credit goes to garwynn in the Sprint S4 forum for getting this working in the first place, I just made the necessary changes to get it to boot and run on our phones. As far as I can tell, the ROM is working very nicely (haven't tested too much) but may be considered as a daily driver with further testing. Anyway, just wanted to share my excitement... ENJOY!

:victory: I just finished flashing, restoring apps and tweaking my settings now.
I checked out the browser so far. Lightning fast compared to stock.
I had to download a different google apps, the link the op provided didnt work for me so i used this one:
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
Also tried the camera, it works but it seemed slow. Could be because i have apps downloading in the play store when i tried it. i miss the HDR feature from the stock camera app. So i'll try camera zoom fx later to see if it fits my personal wants.
I'll test out what i can today. If someone wants to post a quick list of things I should check. I'll try and get to it today and post the results.
Oh i also have my mouse paired to it via bluetooth. so thats working too.
Thanks OP
Update: The sd card isnt mounting and i lost root access. So much for restoring using titanium backup. Think i might just try and restore my stock rooted back up and wait for the next release. With out the SD card, i dont feel like running this as a daily driver. I need my flac music. But thanks anyway.

Okay, so I can confirm that sd card is not being mounted. Also, root is not working from the get go. But uf you install super user from play store, then flaflak the superuser.zip provided in the details of the superuser app(by clockworkmod) ill attach it if you want to add to op for future users until it gets fixed.

Again, not my work, just helping the community!

Same setup - should work on T-MO.
Just an update about the new 4.3 GPe: External SD Card is readable when you plug it into your PC. The camera however still does not read the SD card. All else is still functioning.Version 4.3 will break root! All versions of SU currently do not work with 4.3. Just keep that in mind.
You can flash this over your current 4.2.2 Google Edition. If you're coming from TW, do a complete wipe, then flash. Thanks
____________________________________________________________________
No - I did not grab the system dump myself
Yes - I have tested this for the TMO variant and it's fully functioning
I did create a Youtube Video on how to install the Google Edition S4. Check it out!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmYpkJ27WAM
Althought it's not a ROM built from scratch or a project of any kind, it is a rom all in itself straight from the S4 GE
(Updated Link) - Thanks to luckyduck69 for posting a new mirror. Previous Link crashed XD.
If you're interested in the GE (VERSION 4.2.2), download here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/5nz662i2y826kwd/google-edition-bg.zip

So far, seems fine! I miss the "long press back to kill app" feature, but I can live without it as I play with this ROM.
Thanks for the link! After flashing this ROM will all software/firmware on the phone be identical to that on the GPe handset? Or are there any other bits that aren't contained in the ROM?
I'm wondering that too. This is stable? Wipe system/data/cache and flash?
I did a wipe flashed and then had to reboot to get WiFi

Not a problem. After flashing this direct port, I've noticed that my Model number changed to GT-I9505G, but my baseband remains the same (MDL), As it appears, everything is fully functioning from that of the GPe. To be clear, no errors, force closes, or mis-haps have occured.

I'm not sure wi-fi calling is known to work even on the real GPe, is it? I thought it might be specific to TMo/TW ROM somehow. I guess only GPe reviewers know at this point.
I was referring more to general wi-fi capability, I saw some guys saying that didn't work with the GPe system dump on TMo handset.

The first link below is for the Article about the Update for Google Maps. It also contains a link to the apk. The second link is for more information explaining about the features that are missing.
Google Maps v7.0.0
New Google Maps Offline Maps Still available
so this update removes Navigation and incorporates it into the maps app, then tells you that the "maps navigation" is in beta and to use caution. nice

All the links I have tried have had issues parsing the apk. People say it is only working on 4.2.2. That is why I asked him to upload the apk, and sure enough it works perfect and I'm on 4.1

Any comments on performance? Seems pretty slow to me.

Running perfect for me. I've tested everything. I love it so far.

Well WTH! I wonder why it seems so sluggish on my phone. I just ran a quick quadrant test to make sure everything is running up to snuff and got a nice ~5600 or so, so no issues there. Everything else seems in line, and the old maps ran fine too.
So you don't find the frame rate to be slow or anything? I wonder what the heck is going on with my phone. Perhaps I should reboot after updating..

I rebooted into recovery and wiped caches and fixed permissions after installing. And it runs perfect.

I'm wondering why the features besides caching map data found in labs appear to all be missing. I'm particularly missing the "measure" feature that allows me to measure distance as the crow flies between any two points. I'm also bummed about the bigger text option disappearing. Obviously there are lots of cool new features and I love the new interface but wish they didn't remove features that were already buried in the labs section.

I hate it. I used Latitude and they retired it claiming you could use Google+ for the same thing. Well you can't. My Google+ locations (with everything enabled), just shows my icon against a grid. There's no map underneath like they advertise.
