I don't know what to say. Back around June-Sept there were multiple people who said they had this issue, and no one ever proposed a solution, and [MENTION=4600715]sbreen94[/MENTION] never responded as far as I saw. Hasn't been mentioned in the change logs as being fixed.

Many of the posters mentioned it caused issues with MS Exchange email, because Exchange requires you to have a PIN or Password lock screen, but I don't use Exchange email on my phone, so that's not a factor for me. I mention this in case anyone wanted to search for the discussion.

You're the first person I ever saw post that they used a PIN and don't have an issue with it. I don't suppose you did anything special to fix it; you're saying you just never had an issue?

For what it's worth, I always do a full wipe when I flash this or any ROM, even for an update like Rls 19 to 19.1. I'm on MDK unlocked, so I don't use Safestrap or have issues related to it. But like others who have posted about it, even though my lock screen is set to PIN, when the phone is rebooted (warm reboot or cold boot) it just does "swipe to unlock." Every time. Starting from first set-up after flashing, before I've restored any apps or data.

[MENTION=4600715]sbreen94[/MENTION], has anyone ever given you a logcat or other specifics about the issue? Have you ever tried to reproduce it? Because as I say, I see the issue from the initial setup after clean flashing the ROM, one of the first things I do is set up my PIN lock, and at rebooting it only uses swipe.

This has been since rls 17 (according to the search I just did of this thread, not just my memory).

[MENTION=4600715]sbreen94[/MENTION] I love the work you've done putting features into this ROM. It's truly incredible in most ways. But as far as I know this lock screen issue (and the less important wallpaper settings force closing) have never been addressed. Please let me know if I just missed it. :) :)

I understand that. I still lock my car, even though a person with a slim jim and the knowledge can still unlock it, or someone can break the window to get in. I lock my house door, too. Locking the door will at least slow them down, and discourage the "casual" thief. :)

Thanks for your reply.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
I'm right with you, and I use the PIN lock as well (strange as it seems II rarely lock my car doors in the little town I live in lol) but I just hadn't set it up since flashing last night. I wish I could remember how I fixed the PIN not working on RLS19. It does work for me now out-of-the-box however I'm on Safestrap. Not sure what difference that would make really. Hopefully there's a fix.

What problem were you having with the Wallpaper settings? I haven't experienced any trouble with that on my device. I've set wallpaper through the TW launcher and Nova.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
Thanks for the info but I certainly understand this. A PIN is not my only protection, only as you mentioned, just a deterrent. Even though I own the 32gb GS4 I also have a 64gb sdcard with data on it (pretty easy to access this!) so my vital/personal data has additional security. Now don't get me wrong, if an entity has a high level of resources they may/will eventually access my data... though I don't necessarily foresee myself as a target for this!:D

Many don't understand this or really just don't know that a password doesn't = protection. For instance computer logon passwords (Windows, Mac, linux...) are for the most part easily bypassed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
Wish my S4 was 32gb! I could only get my hands on the lowly 16gb last year :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
For as long as I can remember I

always

perform a fresh wipe when installing new firmware/OS. This is a proper and safe method to get a unit running correctly. Don't get me wrong, I've certainly performed installations using non-recommended procedures - only on my personal devices or units of course!

Sometimes just impatient, sometimes just to play around (I know I get bored sometimes, when I have the time that is) but also sometimes because I feel the need to see an end result for testing purposes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] raddison:
I use Apex launcher, but this happens before I get Apex installed or restored.

What happens is, if I choose Lock Screen or Home and Lock Screens, Settings force closes. (Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.) If I choose Home Screen, I can set the wallpaper fine. Again, this is something multiple people posted about starting with Rls 17, and I never saw a solution posted.

It doesn't happen if I long-press a home screen and choose Set Wallpaper, because I don't get the Lock Screen options there.

If this were the only problem I wouldn't even mention it. Wallpaper is "eye candy" to me. The main thing that worries me is the lock screen. I'll upgrade to Rls 20 tonight and see if it's fixed.

Thanks again for your replies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
Yeah I'm happy with it - didn't come cheap though!

As a long time customer with Verizon it cost $300 in the long run. For new customers the 16gb was going for $100, and the upgrade for $150. But NO, not for somebody that has been using Verizon for 20+ years!!! In another time I would have set aside time to deal with Verizon on MY terms (lots of phone time of course) but had so much going on that I just paid the hard $$$. I don't get the big bucks these days but I'm satisfied with my purchase.

As a matter of fact I know 2 others that got the GS4 for free, both around June/July. Go figure... Though to tell the truth I'd still have been willing to pay something for mine as Verizon does have the best coverage here in the NOVA/DC area, rather than T-Mobile/Sprint/etc.

On a side note if you can afford a high-speed sdcard it's well worth it. Don't feel like benchmarking or looking up the product# but my SanDisk 64gb is rocking!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nes4r2:
WOW this build totally killed my ability to wipe my phone also it keeps saying failed.. WTF happened? I am kind of angry. I'll calm down when I nand back to RS4 but jeez.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JediMindTrixx:
Make sure "Google apps location settings" is on... The setting that "Let Google apps access your location." And of course location services in Settings needs to be on.

Other than that. I don't know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nes4r2:
I cant even nand back!!! What the heck happened. I am fraking out it keeps saying failed to wipe data!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sean Hicks:
I had the same problem and it was the Google apps location not being on
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GhostlyExit:
It looks like i'm alone in having the FlashBarService fc. I think it relates to the multi-window support, but I haven't heard of anyone else with this issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Daeo:
mind pointing out the location for this? just in case we don't have it enabled or are looking in the wrong place.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JediMindTrixx:
Google>Settings>Privacy & accounts>Google apps location settings. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Daeo:
have no idea where "Google" is, are you talking Settings>Account>Google>Location Settings>"Let google apps access your location" slider

Figured it out, it was the "Google" app, the check box was already selected.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
Thanks bro. I haven't done the mod for the lock screen but you can access it from the power menu

No it isn't. ... It runs perfect on my phone. I can't fix your user error.

To everyone. If you don't full wipe when flashing my roms then don't post bugs. I don't do dirty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JediMindTrixx:
Yes, that has to be on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klovar:
I am having absolutely zero errors. Great ROM sir!

:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ijeenyus:
Going back to RLS4, can't get GPS lock. Tried all the suggested solutions, no dice
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] alphanu22:
Does the Kernel have to do anything with GPS?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
I dont think sbreen would release a bad rom to anyone. Nor to himself lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AmericanCon:
Same. Tried getting one after reading about it and it wont lock. Cant use navigation.

Is this being worked on or is it down to "user error"?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Psych0t1c20:
How do I change the text color back to white in the contacts and messaging?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jpmcnown:
Hmm, no trouble with GPS locking for me. I can get a location lock in Maps(clearly via wifi), but NOT GPS locked in GPS Test, Maps or Navigation.

I do get the persistent wifi notification, regardless of "notify me" being unchecked, "auto-connect" unchecked", "passpoint" off. "Check for internet service" is unchecked. If the wifi is on, I'm getting told about nearby connections.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SolemnSinner:
I can use navigation, and it shows the correct route and pinpoints the destination, but at the bottom of the navigation screen it says "Searching for GPS". :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jpmcnown:
Welcome to the S4. If I had a dollar for every time I had to load a rom from scratch in the last month because a nandroid backup couldn't be restored, I could buy an iphone....to smash of course.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
I get the same results on my phone. I never used the default wallpaper chooser. I always touched the Gallery button. It works that way at least.

I still can't duplicate the PIN luck problem though so hopefully it's fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mettee:
Back to 19, no issues and everything works again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TRB01:
No, with safestrap you are limited to the stock kernel only. Trying to install any other kernel will have not work. If you are using safestrap you should choose the safestrap option when presented with the kernel selection.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Is this still an NC5 base?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] poeypresents:
great rls!!! thanks again!! what happened to the motorola camera that was in past releases?

everything else working great, dirty flash!! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thepianoman77:
So hi, again, how can I save all my settings and custom look so I don't have to spend hours getting the new version of the ROM to look how I want it to look.??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Droid12User:
First of all, thanks for all the hard work put into this rom. Had been running on v.19 without any issues whatsoever. Smooth as butter all the way! I did a clean install to v.20 and been running into issues ever since. Touchwiz and almost every other Samsung app keeps force closing. Did a wipe and clean install again, about 3 times...same result. I'm currently on NC5. Anyone have an idea what may be causing this and how I can rectify it. Thanks in advance!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] josedb:
Iam using safestrap and ktoonz.. but i had to flash the wifi modem because it wont work, but all works well right now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Joe_6pak:
I'd like to know this as well - It's one of the reasons I stayed with 18.1. How does this release play with Cobalt? Have they made up, or are we still forced to accept generic icons and that ugly blue-green background?

This is a good question! Why hasn't it been answered? I'd like this feature more than anything (besides Lollipop). It's really hard to remember every color I changed to get things looking like I'm used to. Sorry to be anal, but you get like this when you 're my age!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
I wonder, is it possible to verify the custom kernel from the about device screen? Mine says:

3.4.0

dpi@SWDD5015 #1

Fri Mar 28 13:38:41 KST 2014

I'm on safestrap and I selected Ktoonsez kernel. I did this on RLS 19 too and everything works
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ehaalandtluk:
Hi. I'm on a clean version of RLS20 and I still get a default program prompt every time even though I hit "ALWAYS"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
I haven't had that issue. Maybe try an xposed framework module "clear defaults dialog" might help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 90c4:
If you backed up your v 19 touchwiz settings and restored them to v 20, I could see this happening. I did a dirty flash and accidentally installed s5 touchwiz and was getting force closes because my settings were for s4 on 19. When I installed the proper s4 touchwiz, things resolved.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wally44:
I see no such option under lock screen settings on my S4. Am I missing something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RobertR_01:
It should look like this. .. Mine is not active.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BhavyaBirla:
Gmail!

My Gmail application was force closing after every touch i made so i uninstalled it.. Now when i try to install it from the play store it says in compatible app ! What do i do now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
I believe you will have to flash it via recovery. Try to find a flashable zip on the Net. Or I can make one from mine and send it to you.

You might also try restoring it from a backup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BhavyaBirla:
Can you please make me a flashable zip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rrrracer:
A quick question... I flashed RLS19 to my brother's S4 (Safe Strap, NG6) and everything went great except we lost root. Attempted to get it back with TowelRoot and it says the device is now unsupported.

I feel like I'm overlooking something obvious here, but for the life of me I don't know what it is. Suggestions?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TRB01:
You can select whatever kernel you want but you are still actually using the stock kernel, not the selected kernel. The devices that require safestrap have their bootloader locked up tight which also locks down the kernel. You can try to install another kernel but nothing actually happens on your device as far as your actual kernel is concerned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ehaalandtluk:
Screen sharing still does not work with Ktoonzsez kernel. Am I doing something wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rmedure:
Thanks!

Dirty flash RLS20 over clean RLS19 ... so far everything seems fine. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
Interesting, I haven't seen this but it's peaked my interest on a few things. Does this happen with other locks or just with pin lock? Also you are on mdk right? And the users with it working no problem are on safestrap I'm assuming?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rmedure:
Pinlock works correctly on mine ... I'm on SS.

If you're talking about custom colors themes and the like them I'm not sure if that's possible. I've never seen or heard of a way to do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Darkpsych0:
The problem is only on the inverted. Switch back if it is really a necessity. I'd hope sbreen would fix it but it's minor thing anyways.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Little812:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
That's good to know. If you still want inverted colors though, Textra does a good job IMHO. I started using it on RLS 19 because of the group texting issue. Just go into Textras settings and enable it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ZiggyS4VZW:
You should check out Messages+ from Verizon. It is actually really nice. Plus it has mult device support and an online app to use from your computer.

I do recommend.

Also anyone know how to change the Hyperdrive Rom on the pulldown bar?

I tried changing/disabling it with Wanam but it still stays.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jawiler:
I usually don't use a pin lock (nothing worth looking at :p and no banking ), but I tried it and after a reboot I only have to swipe (MDK) Guess safestrape is good for something (Ha). But after letting is sit for a couple of minutes the PIN lock came back on. No biggie for me either way. Love the ROM sbreen......:good::good::good::good::good:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thepianoman77:
About saving all the settings and color schemes that you have let's say in rls 19. So you have them on rls 20. It sucks having to spend a few hours just to try to get the new version looking the way you want it... and Scott has a new release every few months, which is nice, but it would be kool if we could save all our settings in Hyper Tweaks to transfer over to new releases.

Motorola Camera

Hey, I really loved the Motorola Camera App that was included in the 18 and 19 releases but in the 20 I didn't see any option to install it. How do I get it back?

Also, I didn't have root when I flashed it. But All I had to do was use ES explorer to go back to my downloads folder and run towelroot again.

so I am having a bunch of issues with RLS20... every time I get it installed the wifi does not work... gmail keeps force closing and it freezes the phone to the point that after I get to the point that I can see the wifi does not work I just end up doing an odin back to stock, where wifi works fine... I have tried 3 different downloads of the RLS20 file.... plenty of clean flashes... same effect everytime... I odin to NC5 and im using towlroot and SS 3.72.... anyone else have this issue????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nu2droid:
When you flashed you could have unchecked the box for it.. Also go to \sysyem\priv-app\pagebuddy..... .apk and rename it.. ie add .bak to end of file. (This way if a problem shows, you can undo it by removing the .bak

Hope that helped

You flash the nc5 wifi fix and the supersu apk?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pizza_pablo:
Where is that setting? I don't see it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wally44:
OK. I see the setting only when I turn swype to unlock. I use a pattern unlock which doesn't show that option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
Make sure you verify the download with the MD5 checksum. It's the only way to be absolutely certain. I've had a lot of issues with that before. I'm on NC2 w/Safestrap so wifi works for me after flashing the module for it.

I never used a separate app for tether, just the tether option from Settings (usually by touching the toggle). Then I just tap the notification to set it up. It's the same in 20 as was in 19. What did the app let you do that was advantageous?

There's always this or this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jawiler:
mybackup pro will do this, there are others (google for others, not all perfect)

good luck (dirty flashed last time to avoid this,, no problems so far)

Also, there's a setting in Hyperdrive (persistence) that will let you keep some of your settings between flashes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] a22shady:
No nothing special other than setting SSID/Password but that app just worked really well. There is no option for Hotspot/tether on my phone I just installed RLS20. There was however the option and wifi program in earlier releases.

Nvm I found the one in the phone I guess there was an included app "shortcut" That was on other one that I was using.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eheinzeiii:
which wifi fix, just the NC5 modules or the "gogolies-wififix-VZW-retail-NC5-w-modules-SS"

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swing4thefence:

I remembered I did a nandroid before flashing so I just used Nandroid manager and extracted it from my backup file.

I also had several issues after the dirty flash, and then I wiped and re-flashed and they issues went away.
