For the record, I have had zero random reboots on full stock cm. I've also had no heat issues or battery drain issues. However, I've been dirty flashing since day 1, and I've thrown in some self-built unofficials here and there, so YMMV.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sullivan1985:
OK... I lied. I'm now on the 6/29 nightly. Did a clean flash this time around. 4G signal bar issue resolved. Phone not crawling right out of the gate this time. It did start to slow down considerably about an hour later. At random, apps will lock up causing the OS to crash and reboot. I have yet to determine what exactly causes the lockups as it has occurred in multiple apps under various scenarios.

Right before it crashes it hangs for about 10-15 seconds. Then I get six lines across the screen for a fraction of a second before it dies. Three of them large black lines, the other three smaller and made up of what was on the screen when it was hanging up. From top to bottom it is small-large-small-large and so on in even proportions.

No other issues to report at this time.

That sounds like a hardware failure, not a software failure. If that happened to me, I would flash back to the original TW firmware to make sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dobo84:
This is not hardware failure mine was doing the same thing. Never did it stock . Like its been said it will take bit to get passed these bugs. Flash the chronic kernel and you should be good

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SonicJoe:
And like I said earlier, I'm stock CM with stock kernel and don't have these issues. So its not a global issue, but something more specific to what you and the other poster have done. Some common app or tweak must be causing it if it isn't hardware. Did you change the governor or IO scheduler? How about posting some logs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dobo84:
I did notice using vine or anything with media is what caused my reboots. Went a whole day without any till I started watching videos. Haven't had a issue after using the chronic kernel so we will see

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sullivan1985:
Chrome was the biggest offender for my reboots and slowdowns too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SonicJoe:
Whatever has been done with the radios lately, bravo. My signal strength is a good 10-15dB better than it was on stock and the earlier builds. Either that, or Verizon turned a new cell tower on in my area in the last 2-3 days.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] arcanexvi:
Lol I was noting the exact same thing when I went from 6/26 unofficial to 6/29 unofficial. Literally. New tower or new code. I assumed tower but since I'm not the only one... Lol :)

Oh and the battery is much improved over 6/26 unofficial.

Flashed this earlier today and forgot to do a lock on gps right before, so it wasnt working. Restored backup of stock and got a lock, restored cm10.1 and gps is working fine. Thanks for the official build, every other aosp rom I tried had no voice calls/broken dialer. KTkernal should work on this right?

Ah yes, my favorite ROM out there. I lose a few features due to propriatary crap but who cares.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] christianstudebaker:
So as long as I flash this and gapps with twrp I should be good because it's already lokified?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] arcanexvi:
Yes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackburnt:
Yea, if you have TWRP installed, you should be fine. Just make a backup, wipe, flash ROM and GAPPs, and enjoy.

So far everything I've tried has worked. Bout to try GPS when I take my dog out. Haven't tried BT yet.

Only thing not working is Hardware key Search. The Menu and actual button works, but "Search" isn't. It's still "Back."

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ----------

BT (A2DP or whatever) works fine. Calls work fine. GPS does not.

I tried turning off Mobile/Wifi location, and it still won't lock on. Otherwise, everything (mostly) works great.

Thanks so much for this great ROM!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbh87:
If you can't get GPS to work then restore a touchwiz backup and get a GPS lock and then boot back to recovery and restore CM backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] an21281:
Yup that's what I had to do, posted earlier... But it will only lock with mobile/wifi location off.

Anytime that I try to open the dialer I get Unfortunately contacts has stopped and the dialer closes. I can make calls from my contacts but can't manually dial a phone number. Receiving calls works fine. This is on a clean install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SonicJoe:
Interesting. I just pulled down the 0602 nightly, and it had to be manually installed. CM Updater downloaded the update to /sdcard/cmupdater instead of /sdcard/0/cmupdater, so the automated update couldn't find the file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordgodgeneral:
I had to do the same to get my GPS working as well. Once I got a lock on stock ROM then did a restore to CM, GPS has a lock now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SonicJoe:
Good news: In reviewing threads for old devices, it is possible to modify the AOSP camera to do 16:9

Bad news: It requires modding the Gallery2.apk file, which means we need a dev to step in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dobo84:
Yeah I can only get a lock disabling mobile location.....which is not too bad hope there is a inbound fix for this. Everything else works fine

Fixed my issue. I had restored some app data with titanium that seemed to cause this issue. A data wipe fixed my dialer.

I have been having lte issues. My phone keeps showing 4G but is running at 3g speeds. Or it will just switch to the 3g and stay there for hours unless I restart. I am now on the 6 /30 nightly and have done clean installs on 6/26, 29 and 30

Is there something going on here like I need to reprovision my sim of something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cybereclipse:
I'm having the same issues. Also the phone will not boot running the 6/30 nightly and the chronic kernel without hanging at the samsung screen.

Question - I'm going straight to CM - do I really need to flash the kernel when rooting, or can I just use Odin to flash recovery and skip the rest?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cybereclipse:
Does chronic work on the newest nightly for you?

Yes you do. The modified kernel you flash is a part of the rooting process. Follow the root instructions step by step, then flash CM and the kernel you want.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phateless:
I thought the kernel was only to allow us to root the stock rom. Since I'm discarding the stock rom anyway, I was hoping I could bypass that step and just odin-flash a recovery.

I guess the stock kernel will prevent me from odin-flashing a customer recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cybereclipse:
I wouldn't risk it. Just follow the steps...really quick and painless IMO.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sullivan1985:
I've searched the thread and I can't find a link. Where would Ktoonzsez be releasing the kernels for the S4? I loved running it on my S3. Chronic is working great on the 6/29 nightly but I've seen multiple reports stating that it currently won't work on 6/30.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dougmod:
Haha. When rebooting it takes about 4 min to go from gray signal bars to get them to go blue and show either a 3g or 4G icon. Then once it shows 4G the data is super slow and then it will switch to 3g really quickly. If I do something like go to an area where it might switch, it takes a few minutes to get any sort of connection back. I don't know why, as my s3 had 4G pretty much everywhere but this is just like the phone is constantly lookin for a signal and never gets what it should. Kinda strange right? I've done clean installs etc, and am am experienced crack flasher. Just thought I'd report it

Yes I did. The phone rebooted and was working fine in stock form, but as soon as I tried to flash cm10.1 it all went to hell.

Edit - I just tried to flash the kernel you need for the root method, and no change. It just hangs on the boot screen. I'm at a loss...

Finally fixed it by using Odin back to stock and starting over. The only thing I wiped this time was data, then flashed rom and it booted right up. DO NOT wipe preload or system, or you will have issues.

Maybe we should add that to the first post?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
I wiped everything when I first flashed but granted I had moved my nandroid folder to my ex sd card but you should be doing that anyway if you have one? Or at least uploading it to drive or Dropbox cuz you never know when something stupid going to happen. Same with titanium backups they go to my ex sd and to drive every 3 days

So if I flash chronic now to fix the reboots and what not can I still dirty flash the new nightlys every morning? And then can I go back to stock cm kernel once all the issues have been ironed out?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] barnacles10:
Flashing each release will simply overwrite your current kernel. If you're using another kernel you'll just have to reflash it every time.

Fantastic I'll wait till the morning and flash thanks.

Yea I'd seen that. Hopefully it'll still be nice with today's upcoming nightly.

And if... Knock on wood...this next nightly breaks it and i get stuck at the Samsung logo would I be able to reach recovery and restore from a nandroid on my external sd/Google drive? At least something like the situation others found themselves into before the chronic update.

And btw cm 30 seems to have fixed the insane heat and sluggishness while charging with everything stock. I ran it all day with multiple vid calls and 3 full charging cycles.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] snagg641:
Are you referring to after you finish a call, and pull your phone away from your face, and it takes about 3 seconds before the screen turns back on? Yeah that drives me crazy. Always been a problem with CM roms, across all the devices ive owned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
You can not do that in that way. We don't have an unlocked boot loader so your phone won't accept an Odin flashed custom recovery due to the fact that it is not Samsung signed. Just follow the prescribed method.

Just tried 07/01 on a clean wipe after hopefulness from commits I saw in 6/30 and 07/01, but channel 13 is still broken since the 5ghz fix.

I've spent a long time the last couple of days, trying to search through source code (looking at individual commits) to see what, specifically, changed in the 6/28 nightly to break 2.4ghz upper channels, but I haven't had any luck. Do any of you have an idea of what search terms I should be using? I'm happy to compile my own CM10.1 from now on, but I need to find what lines to change first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dmarden:
My guess (and it's just that, a guess) is that it had more to do with something taken from the Google Edition stuff than from someone's specific commit.

I think all that can be done right now is to make sure good logcats and dmesg logs are posted (since that's what was requested previously during the 5GHz research) and hope that someone can figure it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Channel 13 if I'm not mistaken can't be used in the US? Unless you change your region code obviously.

Could be mistaken but I know that 14 is reserved for Japan. I could have sworn that 13 was closed off to North America by the FCC. So...?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dmarden:
I believe this may be correct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels

Edit: Yeah, I actually checked my routers and none of them even allow 12/13 as selections. Never noticed. Neat.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] manofcolombia:
Yea but if your a Linux guru and you can get those up and running ;)

... Let's just say that it's very beneficial. Less noise in those channels so you can squeeze a few extra feet worth of coverage and any where from 1-10 mbps more because of the reduced noise.

But you better run and how if the FCC comes knocking haha

Saving to external isn't there because it's "nexus" software and those devices don't have external storage. Yes I understand that these aren't nexus devices and are GE devices. Just explaining why it's not presently there.

While I appreciate the explanation it means no camera for me in CM! I've been alternating back and forth between CM and Hyperdrive, a TouchWiz ROM which seems to wipe internal storage each time I restore it so when I reboot and restore my CM ROM there's no place to save pics.

The camera goes through the motions but "Gallery" shows just blank spots where the pics should be.

In some ways I prefer CM but it looks like I'm stuck with TouchWiz ROMs until I can find a work around for this.... or until the devs take a look at the camera software?

Probably someone knows an easy fix, if so PLEASE tell me? Thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] arcanexvi:
The stock CM camera lets you save to sd. The GE camera does not. Unless I'm reading your post wrong. The gallery works just fine though. Are you trying to restore data? That can cause issues. The gallery takes a bit to populate the thumbnails on first launch. Just give it time

It'll be faster after that.

Yes we all understand that this thread is for development related issues. I don't think that there's anything that's gone too far off the beaten path. We are all looking out for each other discussing issues and attempting to find work arounds and get logs of the events.

Maturity and a helpful attitude are key on forums like these.
