I do try to reset that, but I've forgotten more than once. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the "secure element" issue wasn't as big of a concern after some changes that Google made, but I'm still afraid of it happening to me.

And I'm not arguing with anyone on the kernel issue. I'm sure that's true. I just know that's how I do it. Sometimes I do have issues, and maybe they are caused by that. When I used to flash cm nightly builds every day I would usually end up doing a full wipe about once a month and any bugs I had would go away. Maybe some of them were from my bad kernel habits.

Everything is running smooth here... great rom so far!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stackz07:
SICK ROM. Loving this, thanks you guys. will be donating for sure. Just a quick note..

Is there any recommended profile or settings to use with this rom and chronic kernel? Or just flashing the kernel and leaving it will still show some improvements in both performance and battery life?

Just a quick note below for others if this happens to you do a format..

I think others have experienced this same problem(i have read a few).. Whenever i flash a new rom even if it's a complete wipe (i always do one) it gets stuck at samsung unlocked icon boot screen. i have to go into twrp and do a FORMAT and then factory wipe/reset then install from there. it has NEVER, not once flashed succesffully without doing a format even when i tried doing dirty.. just a heads up for some people.

I asked this question several days / pages ago and nobody seems to have even answered me yet.

I'm not trying to be a pain but can anyone tell me why the watchon app stopped working when I upgraded to 2.9 from 2.8?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cybereclipse:
Was IR even working in 2.8? It wasn't on my S4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] N1ghtr08d:
Yeah I'd was working great on my device. Just to recap, I've flashed dirty AND changed my mind and went back and did a clean fresh install on it instead because i thought it d the reason my ir want working.

I've used the built in kernel add well as chronic 1.23, both yielding the same result.

Any help would be appreciated...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Painterface:
Okay this is the first rom I've ever flashed. Decided on Liquidrom because it seems awesome.

To make sure I'm doing this right...

On my Verizon s4 i545, I should use this: Liquid-JB-v2.9-OFFICIAL-jfltevzw.zip from the main downloads link on the first page? Should I download straight to my phone or to my computer then transfer to external sd?

I backed up with cmw already a few days ago. Also apps and green system data with titanium backup free. If I backup with cmw again, should I erase the backup I have? If I backup roms, will it keep my original stock backup plus the roms?

I think to flash the rom I just boot to recovery, full wipe, factory restore, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format mounts and storage...then load the rom zip, load the gapps, reboot. That is it, correct? I do not need to flash a kernel, right?

It's there anything I'm forgetting or doing wrong?

Sorry for all the questions, but for my first time I want to do this right. And I sincerely thank everyone for your help and this forum. You guys are awesome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thanassi44:
I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.

I've gone from stock> rooted> LS 2.8> LS 2.9> Chronic Kernel

Every flash, including the kernel has been clean. Data/cache and dalvik for the kernel as per the thread's recommendations. I haven't tweaked any kernel settings.

2.9 with chronic is amazingly fast and smooth, but I have one major frustration.

My problem is that I have been getting tons of random reboots dating back to 2.8. They don't seem to come with any particular app. Its happened in the browser, text, email, etc. The only thing I've noticed is that the phone gets a bit warm under multitasking/downloading/extended screen time and this seems to trigger it. If I'm at home, I sit the phone in front of the AC or pop it in the fridge for a minute to cool off and it seems to fix things.

Is there something I can do in settings to help or would this be an isolated hardware issue? Is anyone else getting a warm phone? Again, it doesn't get boiling hot or anything, just warm at the top near the camera lens.

Thanks for any input.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] buckmarble:
Try a different kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bsimpson1:
Just out of curiosity, I noticed a shell script using sleep running in the background shortly after flashing this. Is that something to do with your kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] buckmarble:
Can you explain a little more? Not following ya on the sleep thing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cryogenic666:
Have you tried Ktoonsez's kernel? I've been running it since he released it and it's been great. He posted his recommended settings in one of the posts as well, so once you flash, you can use his tweaker app to load the recommended settings and be on your way. I've never had any issues with overheating or random reboots.

Only thing I miss when on AOSP is the Samsung Flare lock screen. Anybody ever seen it as a flashable mod for AOSP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stackz07:
i am getting some no sound call errors. where i answer and can't hear them at all and sometimes i call and the call timer is running but i can't hear. is this a rom or kernel things? am running chronic?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckelly33:
I don't know if this works (I've since moved to a TW ROM), but turn the screen sounds (when you make a choice) to 'on' and for whatever reason, that apparently fixes it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stackz07:
where is this setting found?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckelly33:
Settings -> My Device -> Sounds -> "Touch Sounds" under system. See if you have it unchecked. If so, see if checking it helps.

Again, it is just what I was told. I have no idea why that would have anything to do with the other - but it can't hurt anything.

Just for reference (if you were trying to find another ROM that doesn't do this) - I had this happen to me on Carbon too

I have been running mainly slimbean for some time, but all CM based roms I have tried have this issue for me. I finally had to flash a TW rom last night.

Just saw a post in the CM thread they think they have a fix, coming in about a week or so.

good news to me!

Yes the tw camera is much better. I love the tweaks of aosp don't get me wrong. Right now though I personally am running a tw rom as well.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bstin:
One thing that is bugging me:

This rom seems to make the phone quite hot at some points (actually very hot). I never had this issue with 2.8. Would flashing a custom kernel help the situation at all?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djj624:
Try underclocking or diff kernel. Im using ktoonz but im on a different liquid rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stackz07:
Mine is getting extremely hot at times as well.. Especially when I use gps.

Does anyone know anything about focal from CM? They're working on a new camera it's supposed to be super sick and coming out soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thanassi44:
Same here. Very hot running chronic kernel on 2.9. I'm also getting frequent reboots with the heat/heavy use ever since 2.8 and previous kernel. I haven't tried Koontz kernel yet though.

Multiple Contacts SMS

I think I may have found a bug in LiquidSmooth v2.9 (clean install):

If I enable "Dark Liquid" in the "Settings" app, I can no longer text multiple contacts. I will open the "Messaging" app with "Dark Liquid" enabled, press the "New Message" button on the bottom left, and after typing in a contact, I can no longer add any more contacts. I have tried clicking the "+" next to the "To" field but the button is entirely unresponsive with "Dark Liquid" enabled in Settings.

I hope this helps others with this issue and I hope liquid0624 updates the first post with this information if this is identified as a real bug. I'm looking forward to this being fixed in the next release.

Anyone else looking to try out this ROM do not hesitate. I dove right in and I am enjoying all the free memory available on my phone with customizability that goes beyond what Samsung could even have dreamed of :D

Thanks again for this amazing ROM!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] samstheman42:
Has anybody successfully encrypted their phone using the built in encryption feature?

I just tried (had it plugged into the wall, set it to go, and walked away only to come back and have it say that the process was interrupted and that I had to factory reset) and am now in the process of restoring from a nandroid. Not really a big deal since I'm at work and have the time, but was hoping for a little guidance if anyone else out there has made it work.

Thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] samstheman42:
The only issue that I've had so far with this ROM, and I mean ONLY is that there seems to be a strange lag for games that require dragging your finger acrossed the screen (in my case, a game called Scramble with Friends). My experience has been that everytime I play the game I can drag my finger acrossed the screen and it takes forever for the app to register the words that I'm sliding out (the game is like scrabble).

I've tried 3 different kernels, all with the same result, so it leads me to believe that it's the ROM and not a kernel issue (app works fine on other devices).

I'll call it a bug.

Otherwise, I'm REALLY happy with this ROM and will continue to use it as my daily driver. I haven't been impressed with any other ROMs for the Vzn GS4 so far :)

Go Liquid!

I can confirm this issue as well. I did not realize it was the "dark liquid" setting though. So glad you have pointed this out.

BTW - I absolutley love this ROM!

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

I did what I thought was a very extensive search of the forum once I realized this issue but found nothing. I'm glad Checkm8 pointed it out as an issue only when "dark liquid" setting is enabled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LuigiBull23:
For some there also seems to be random reboots after hanging up or pressing the home key during a call as well as reboots when turning on the screen while listening to music through specific music players.

That's because the issue has been discussed across the board but for whatever reason wasn't addressed on this thread til now..

The animations in 2.9 are a little too much. Wish there was a way to choose the ones from 2.8. Other than that, solid ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Painterface:
What do the governor settings do? (I think the performance runs the cpu at full throttle, but what do the others do?)

Also, is there a recommended kernel to go with this ROM or is it good with the one it came with?

My battery seems fine enough, though I wouldn't mind things juust a bit snappier...for example, waking the device up, it varies taking about 1-3 seconds to come on.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gt5oh:
Interesting idea for addition to Rom if possible:

What if the Notification bar was on the bottom of the phone and you swiped up, it would roll the bar up from the bottom and down again, making all buttons within reach of the thumb.

As phones press on to 5" and up screens its harder (with one hand) to reach up top to swipe down and control settings without having the phone in an uncomfortable position, but if the bar would roll up from the bottom, everything is in reach...

Is this something anyone has seen in a Rom or how hard would it be to implement in a rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkbane:
I think that's a great idea
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gt5oh:
It would take some getting used to just because of the default standard but I think in the long run its a better place for it to be. That notification bar gets tons of action during the day but yet as screens get bigger, its out of reach.

Hey guys new s4 owner here and big fan of liquid ROMs.

I was seeing that some are having small issue with the MMS when using dark liquid well not sure but I do believe its MMS related.

I have a flashable zip. That will fix that. Has a modified notification icon (green instead of white) lclock with more "HD" look icons as well as stock signal and WiFi icons but with a slightly different style.

I know the MMS issue was not just for the s4 but for the gnex as well ( both on liquid 2.9) but this MMS apk should fix it. Feel free to download. :)

I'm using an AT&T compatible Straight Talk sim. Works perfect on TW based roms - no problems. However I have flashed both cyanogenmod 10.1 and liquidsmooth and do not receive calls.

Currently the only way to fix this problem is to compile from source I am pretty sure... The CM branch that this ROM pulls from (the official one, obviously) has the sound issue fixed. I downloaded all of the files from github and made sure to check this.
