Not that I'm whining or something but this happened to me too, just flashed the OTA tonight, gone to sleep, and this morning I got calls on the land-line telling me that my phone is off, eventhough it's on, not to mention the other issues like the Home Button that doesn't go to Home, the lack of lockscreen, the Settings button on the header of the notification pannel that doesn't open the Settings.

I'm just reporting the issues so that the Dev gets an idea about it.

And by the way, I was hell waiting for a Lollipop Phoenix ROM for ages.... Where have you been bro!!! Thanks for the Good Work, and really really thanks for the Big efforts you make!!

EDIT: Problem solved itself, the only thing I did is sync google account! try it bro and tell me if it worked!

@tamirda;

Mate, before reading the posts above, i thought that maybe it was just on my side and maybe i have done something wrong, but after i read the posts above, now i think there "could" be a little issue with the OTA Update v11.6.

Because after i installed the OTA Update in Recovery (and i also cleaned Cache & Dalvic) i encountered with similar issues:

My lock screen disappeared. My "Home Button" and "Left Capacitive Key" wasn't working except the "Right Capacitive Key". Also some of the toggles in SystemUI wasn't working and the "Settings" icon in top right of SystemUI wasn't working too. When i was locking my phone screen and then i was unlocking it, there wasn't any lockscreen appeared, the homescreen was direct opening. Also when someone was calling me, they were getting "Busy Line" tone in their side in the phone, so there wasn't any opening IncallUI window for me to answer their call, but the notification of their calling was appearing in my Dialer. I want to say that there was no FCs in any apps. And the issues regarding FCs that has been reported before OTA Update seems all have gone. So i haven't encountered with any FCs in any app.

I also thought if all these problems could be related with Xposed or not, so i disabled Xposed then i dirty flashed Phoenix v11 then i rebooted and then in Recovery i flashed the OTA Update v11.6. But in this time after the phone booted, i got the SystemUI FC.

To solve this problems, i booted into Recovery then i made a full wipe, then i restored my backup that i have just generated before installing the OTA Update v11.6. And after the phone booted i hadn't any FCs. The phone was like before. And then i grabbed "SecSettings.apk" (to solve Battery FC and Service issue), "framework-res.apk" (to have 3Dot Menu) and S5 "SecContacts.apk" (to have 3Dot on Dialer without any glitch) from the OTA Update ZIP file and then i replaced them with my current files manually with a root explorer. And now i don't have any issues and FCs. :) Everything works as expected and as OTA Update aims. :)

In some previous posts in this thread i have read that with a clean install (i.e. full wipe, then flashing Phoenix v11, then without reboot, flashing OTA Update v11.6) there are no such these problems. So i guessed there could be some "update codes" in the OTA Update package that cause all these problems, but i am not sure. If all the members that have flashed OTA Update don't encounter with all these issues i have listed above, then i don't know what can be the reason for all of us that encounter with such these issues. :confused:

@tamirda, as i said in the initial, i just decided to inform you about this situation after i read that some other members also encounter with the same issues. Thus if there is any problem in the OTA Update ZIP file, maybe you could look at it. ;)

Thanks..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tamirda:
Amm alex already tried after dirty flash and there were no problems.

After flashing you need to set up buttons in phoenix extra since after dirty flash they have no function set.

About lockscreen disappearing and no Settings link, i have no idea how that's happened, no problems to most of users.

The person you quoted said he solved this by syncing google...

Hello [MENTION=2739548]tamirda[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4947202]_alex74_[/MENTION]

I'm not sure if you are aware, but Zimperium found a major vulnerability in Android called Stagefright.

When fix will be available, would you be able to release some update please ?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] _alex74_:
As long i cannot reproduce your bugs,flashed two times OTA(once dirty, second after full wipe) and there's no logcats we can look at, for our knowings bugs must be related to something else....

What ...we have no idea... there's plenty of crap around that can mess the system.... exposed, shall be completely removed as x my suggestion(no heard of stable version, so at the end everyone will blame ROM instead xposedcrap)

SUGGESTIONS WITHOUT EXPOSED

1 after nandroid, reflash full wipe, do not sync apps(do later,after flashing OTA)

2 as per above, but redownload OTA update from host

3 just in case use latest TWRP(philz is one i like, but no more supported)

if from both above tests, you will encounter same issues, i will check again and see.... but i'm sure you will have no bugs.

Please let us know, we are very curious :D:D:D

PS i use x all tests TWRP from a long time;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lawyer_06:
Yes, the issues that me and some other members encountered after flashing OTA Update v11.6 is really weird. If i was the only one that encountered with those problems, then i would think maybe i have done something wrong. But, after some other members also reported the same issues then i thought maybe it is a common issue. I thought over the subject and i tried to find out about the reasons of all those issues and the common point with the members that encountered with the same issue; but i couldn't find any reasonable answer so far. [emoji52]

When i have enough time, i will perform your suggestions. I don't sync any data from Google.. And yes, i am using Philz Recovery v6.58.7 for a long time. But i haven't had any problems with flashing many different ROMs so far. :) But i will use TWRP this time as per your suggestion and i will inform you with the results.. ;)

You are asking too much, he hardly has time for his family (army only alouds to see his family for two days every couple weeks or so) and you want him to spend time just for a couple pictures you feel are outdated. Let's please be more considerate!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] speye007:
Firstly I think for the sake of the people that wish to use this ROM who are going to look at the screen shots and notice these things and then wonder if its worth installing so a more accurate reflection would be useful and given the great work done on the ROM the extra 10mins to upload the screen shots would be more helpful to those wanting to use the ROM. I personally asked the question as it put me off wanting to use it if it was going to be a backward step instead of a being an updated version.

Just my opinion and thought it would be helpful and not meant to be rude in any way.

But thank you for informing of the OP's personal life and your knee jerk reaction.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] churapa:
Typical!

If for some odd mystery you know how to read, you would find in the thread's title that the ROM is the latest available, and, secondly: flashing ROMs is for mature people who know they're playing with an expensive device and not for preschoolers who need drawings or pictures to understand things.

Lastly, who is having a knee jerk reaction? It seems to me it's you, because I think before answering.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] speye007:
Hard for little boys like you to understand that there are some mature people here that can read and given your lack of contribution I think that you little boy should stop trying to be some sort of self imposed moderator and leave the questions directed at the OP and climb back in your box.

And as for thinking before you answer I think you should just stop thinking as its not doing you any good.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Yousvel:
You would have avoided all this if only you took time to read before asking questions.

Maybe someone will be able to help me. In Phoenix ROM v.10, was gallery which allowed us to view panorama and photosphere photos like we where "inside of them". Unfortunately I don't remember what gallery it was, and I can not find it in Google Play neither.

I will be grateful for any help.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Yousvel:
You guys need to understand that devs are developing in their free time and some of them have almost no free time at all. They just make some sacrifice to provide us for free some good roms. All we have to do is to show some gratitude to them and be patient to wait for them to fix things. They are not our workers. That's why we all can help one another answering questions and find together solution as much as we can so that the devs can focus on more important things.

I see no reason why you are talking of lack of intellectual forethought and consideration for others. When we don't know one another, we just meet here on xda, we need to stop judging and we need also to respect everyone's personality.

Thank you for your answer... Does it FC, or just not showing anything? I think there is no much hope left, unless albe figures out what is wrong...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wiredfox:
It doesn't FC.

When you connect the phone to the car, the mirrorlink meny section becomes clickable, but when you try to enable it, the checkbox doesn't work.

BTW Samsung's Mirrorlink sucks, I had the chance to try it on a galaxy s4 mini.

You only can use mirrorlink-enabled apps, such as sygic or coyote.

HTC's MirrorLink, or Sony's, have their own app that allows you to use almost everything and mirror the home too.

I'm thinking about moving to HTC..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] zlovenac:
This is an important information! I will not go to offtopic anymore, but as you have more experience, any recommendation of a new smartphone would be extremely valuable! In the meantime, I will wait and see if our devs will come up with something (phoenixrom or albe) and enable MirrorLink to S4 users. Thank you again!

I have to say, this is an excellent ROM.

I'm not usually a TW fan, but this is winning me over!

I've only notice a few minor issues:

1. If I try to set wallpaper from my gallery, when I select the picture I get a toast saying "App isn't installed" and I am unable to change it. I've got around it by setting wallpaper through Quickpic

2. The option to hide alarm clock icon doesnt seem to work. Its always on the statusbar for me

Many thanks

Hi @_alex74_;

In accordance with your suggestions, i performed all the steps after a FULL WIPE and i flashed everything from scratch and as expected i haven't encountered with any problems so far. :) Now, i have the Phoenix ROM v11 with the OTA Update installed on my phone.. And i can say the phone is rather faster than before after a FULL WIPE.. I want to share the procedure that i have followed, so maybe other members who encountered with similar problems after flashing OTA Update could profit by the info:

1- Firstly, i installed TWRP Recovery v2.8.7 on my phone, and in TWRP Recovery i made a nandroid backup. (I don't think the bugs were caused by Philz Recovery, because untill now i have flashed many different ROMs without any issues; but to fulfil your suggestion i installed TWRP..) :)

2- Then after taking a copy of my internal storage, i made a FULL WIPE (wiping System, Data, Cache & Dalvik, Preload and also including internal storage)..

3- After the wipe process in Recovery i flashed Phoenix ROM v11, then i rebooted the phone and then i flashed OTA Update v11.6..

4- After the phone rebooted, i haven't had any problems and any FCs so far.. Everything is good.. (There are some minor bugs/glitches here and there, but they are not so important so they could be ignored).

5- After i set all my preferences on the phone then again i made a nandroid backup in Recovery before installing Xposed Installer, just in case something goes wrong..

6- After the backup, i rebooted the phone and i installed Xposed Installer.apk v3.0alpha4 from rovo89, then i rebooted into Recovery and i installed "xposed-v65-sdk21-arm-arter97-V5-krait.zip" file from arter97.. Then i cleaned cache & Dalvik and rebooted..

7- So far no issues after installing Xposed Installer.. So i can confirm Xposed Installer works on Phoenix ROM v11..

So, after all these procedure i came to a conclusion;

I think if you flash the Phoenix ROM v11 and then the OTA Update v11.6 after a FULL WIPE, you shouldn't encounter with any bugs or/and FCs. But, if you dirty flash the OTA Update over Phoenix v11, it is possible to encounter with some problems, but it doesn't mean you will exactly encounter. It depends on how lucky you are.. :) Because some users (including also me) had issues after installing OTA Update with a dirty flash; but as i see just some users reported these issues, so most of the users haven't encountered with any issues..

So if you don't know how lucky you are in this life against events :D then my suggestion is to flash both files after a FULL WIPE to avoid potential issues.. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] radz_:
This is why some devs keep stating:

"Do not report issues unless you flash the ROM FULL WIPE"

"FULL WIPE IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED"

I never had a single issue using this ROM with Xposed until now.. everything is running smooth as silk...

*except for the known bugs/issue..

no big deal though..

Can we choose between those 2 ways of showing up the menus on the next Phoenix rom. ( i personally like the bottom menu...without the three dots on the top right)

Hello guys,

Last sunday (26.07.2015) I installed latest version of ROM, first couple of days phone was working just great and amazing, but since Thursday/Friday it has significantly slowed down and currently I have massive lags and freezes. Just an example, chrome browser needs ~5 sec to start, and keyboard in browser needs ~ 20 sec to open. Recently I took some photos but they are not being shown in gallery. Smart manager is showing that "System" is constantly using ~500MB of RAM.

When opening contacts, instead of them I have keypad screen.

Many thanks to [MENTION=2739548]tamirda[/MENTION] for this excellent rom.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Thirsk:
Anyone know if it's possible to switch from pattern lock back to swipe to unlock? Currently on v11.6, and after a full wipe and re-flash, seems the option to switch back to swipe unlock is greyed out permanently the moment you set up a lock screen.
