A couple of things.. If those apps are not ART capable, why were they working in previous versions of the ROM? and is it okay to flash Ktoones on 5.0.1 rom?

---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------

Also I have been running for a while now and no misc drain on 5.0.1 aka 12/3.. however now the blank app issues are pretty bad lol..

Serious progress though!

---------- Post added at 10:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

To add more there is no NFC drain anymore either.

I simply disabled it from the menu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] whichonespink73:
Alright I'm hoping someone can help me. I've tried every suggestion here (nuplayer, clear data, KT kernel, flash radio, freeze NFC) and I'm getting massive battery drain. I'm getting insane wakelocks from a phone process called RILJ no matter where I am and ones from android services as well. Here's some screenshots, let me know what y'all think. I love this ROM a lot but the drain is killing me!

EDIT: I should add that as of the taking of the screenshots, built in battery stats reported Misc at 24%

Is 12/4 5.0.1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
5.0.1 actually hit with 12/3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crossen0:
Lol I'm oblivious... I've been on 12/3...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbigdrawsz:
On the 12/4 build and this has been an issue I've seen for the last couple of builds. Sounds settings do not stick after reboot. I'm having to go in and reset all my sound (ringtone/notification) settings with each reboot.

Is anyone else seeing this and if so have you found a fix?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] namedkwon:
Disable WiFi for a while and see if it helps. My wakelocks always had to do with NFC & WiFi
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vanberge:
I had dirtied 12/1-12/3 and not seen this issue. I clean flashed 12/4 today and my sound settings are sticking. Maybe need to clean flash once to get yourself back to "normal" ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CyberZion:
Is Bluetooth working correctly yet? I back on CM11 due to BT problems I was having last week. Have to have it for my Moto360.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbigdrawsz:
Interesting. I did dirty and clean flash 12/4 and still seeing it. Hmmmmm. I've even added my tones to the system/media folder. I'll keep playing around and see what I can find.

THANX!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vanberge:
The Nexus 5 audio conf has a section that ours doesn't seem to:

a2dp {

outputs {

a2dp {

sampling_rates 44100

channel_masks AUDIO_CHANNEL_OUT_STEREO

formats AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT

devices AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_ALL_A2DP

}

}

inputs {

a2dp {

channel_masks AUDIO_CHANNEL_IN_MONO|AUDIO_CHANNEL_IN_STEREO

formats AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT

devices AUDIO_DEVICE_IN_BLUETOOTH_A2DP

}

}

}​

I wonder if we just added taht section to our conf if it'd help with BT streaming. I'll try it a little later if I have some time but I have a busy couple days
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] musicfreak190:
Quick update.. 43% left 24% was by misc.. So still an issue but battery life is much better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AdamIsYou:
I compared our original conf file, an AOSP 4.4.4 file, and the Nexus 5's 5.0.0_r1.

The audio_policy.conf file that originally came with our rom is identical to stock 4.4.4 (minus those extra #). Could that have been thrown in just to get this bootable? It seems the Nexus file is the one we should be using....it just needs a few edits.

I have basically no knowledge of coding, but I'm going to screw around with it and see what I can come up with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I have noticed something and haven't seen it mentioned here.

In the settings for the stock messaging there is an option to use the dark theme. When you select it, nothing changes. It stays with the light theme. I personally prefer dark themes over light.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CyberZion:
That dark option is for the popup notification only.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n2imagination:
I must be one of the exceptions on this one but I havent had even 1 issue with this on my S4. All apps run fine with no black screens Ive been hearing about. Battery is as good or better than Empty Galaxy 4.4. Data, wifi, camera, all fine. Really liking the UI changes and the smoothness of the ROM.

1 question. Anyone figure out how to edit the lockscreen targets? I want to get rid of the phone and camera since im so trained to swipe left up to unlock and keep going to phone.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rajones19:
I am envious. I am loving the UI, but my battery drain is spectacular. I have tried all the posted 'fixes', but if there were improvements, they were inconsequential. I'm hoping it gets sorted out soon. After seeing 5.0, it's hard to go back to 4.4.4!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] musicfreak190:
Did you clean flash 12/3 and try the chase app?

I doubt it is phone specific.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brasewel:
Damm looks like GPS is not working for me. Realized this while driving today. It keeps searching
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rajones19:
Just checked; GPS is working fine for me, locked in about 2 seconds. Compass, however, is still borked as it has been since what seems like the beginning of time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gosimer4:
GPS update.... No deep sleep with any build if bluetooth is on (connected or not) . Right to sleep when off. Between that and freezing google+ no drain.

Also, Black screen with chase, but it works well on the nexus 10 with 5.0
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n2imagination:
Yep your correct. I didnt have chase app on because I dont use chase but tried it this morning and get black screen. I also found out that Starbucks app works but when go to pay I get black screen instead of scan bars. So most things work fine but I do get some black screens. Seems like app specific so google may put it on app devs to update their apps. I know BofA app works fine.

I did full wipe, clean install BTW with 12/3 build and gapps-lp-20141109-signed.zip.

Stock kernel.

May try Ktoonz kernel to see if fixes anything, but with Starbucks being my only app that I use that is black screening I am going to keep running ROM for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gonzlobo:
Do you use lastpass? Do you have a black login screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AmericanCon:
Wells Fargo app does the same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] musicfreak190:
Wonder if the 5.0.1 portion of the code it the problem or if it is simply a CM12 problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stoicwood:
Chase and Lastpass have the black screen for me. I wonder if it has something to do with apps that prevent you viewing their contents from the app switcher. I know Lastpass does this, and it seems like only security/financial apps are affected. Or at least they seem to be most affected.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vanberge:
I think you're onto something there. For me the apps that black screen are Chase, Scottrade, HBO Go and then my Touchdown email client. All of those things seem like they'd not want content to display in the app switcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ecossais:
Vanguard app also black screens. However Vanguard works fine on my Nexus 10 with the rooted factory image.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Look and see if you have a wakelock for msm_serial_hs_dma. That's my culprit. With BT off I am averaging 26-28 hours before hitting the charger. With BT on that gets cut in half.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] musicfreak190:
Yeah.. it seems it is also apps that you can not screen shot as well.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ecossais:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Flashed 12/5 earlier today. Had a new episode. Put the phone down for a while, when I picked it up it was totally unresponsive. At first I thought the battery was dead so I plugged it in but the led came on yellow. At that point I figured it was a Sleep of Death issue. I had to hold the home+power buttons to get out of it BUT it went to the battery charging image you see when it is off but there was no animation and the led was flashing blue like at boot. I finally had to unplug it and pull the battery before I could get it to restart. I have no clue what caused it and do not even have a last_kmsg to link to. Once I did get it rebooted I had 58% battery remaining so it definitely was a SoD issue.

I did collect a Logcat after getting it rebooted but, as I figured, it has no useful info about this event. What I did find interesting was the third line after "starting main". I tried to copy/paste that line here but I am unable to. Any app (built in or otherwise) becomes unresponsive and/or FC's when I try to do it. It behaves like a system that is running low on memory resources.

Link to Logcat:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/vpwh4rccwx2stx4/Log_2014-12-05_20-09-02.txt?dl=0

If it the behavior of 12/5 gets too screwy I'll go back to 12/4.

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

Just realized something else. Came off the charger today at 5:30am. Here it is 15 hours later and I still have about 43% battery remaining. I did turn BT off for today as I am not using my Jabra. Man, when the BT related wakelock gets sorted out battery life, for me anyway, is gonna be awezome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Train88:
Dirty flash or clean? I clean flashed as I was coming back from cm11 after some dummy decided to reverse some theme chooser redirects. Haven't had a similar event, but I've only been running it for about 6 hours

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Dirty Flashed. Did it early this morning and the SoD happened about 3 hours ago. I haven't been able to repeat it so I have no clues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Train88:
Black screens do not seem to be limited to third party apps or banking/financial apps... I have a black screen when I open gallery, hit menu icon, and try to go to settings

Just downloaded today's build, and all apps that were showing a black screen are now working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:

I will make the leap based on your answer. appreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gonzlobo:
If you use bluetooth, no. If you don't, yes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrtruckincowboy:
Ok it was a cord issue. I do get issues with the google music get music errors not sure if its a app issue or what
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Some are experiencing battery drain. Not sure how long it is lasting for others but for me I get 20-26 hrs with Bluetooth off and 12 or so with it on. I am experiencing a BT related wakelock with it on. Also, depending on what you pair it may work well or may not. I use a Jabra earpiece and it works as intended.

There have been some issues with text and background being the same color, mainly in app settings from what I understand.

And I have read about some apps not behaving, one thought pattern is they may not be optimized for the ART runtime that comes with Android 5.0.

There have also been occasional reports of FC's. I get one when trying to view the settings menu for the superuser app that comes with CM12.

There is probably something that I have missed, too. If I have left anything out anyone fell free to add or comment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrtruckincowboy:
Guess the rom doesn't like play music tried earlier version and same issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I wonder if this could be a fix for the FC when trying to view superuser settings.

Maybe not. Think it was in today's (12/6) and I still have it.

Noticed something else. I have a game I play, Hill Climb Racing, sometimes when using the accelerator in the game (touch lower right of screen) the volume will increase as well. Strange.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CyberZion:
Bug: When using a wireless charger, when you take it off of the charger the phone thinks its still charging. You have to reboot it to make it stop showing it still charging.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djhotpocket:
I've been a loyal euroskank crackflasher for a long time but before I make the jump to cm12 I just need to know a few things. 1) I use google wallet constantly, so is NFC working? 2) I also use google maps daily, is GPS working? 3) I use Bluetooth for streaming google music in my car and to link to my LG G watch. Is BT working correctly for these uses?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gonzlobo:
Hold off a while if you're a BT user (audio is 0.5x speed). I've done maps a few times in the past 2 weeks and connected within seconds, so GPS works (for me).

Not sure what changed in the 1207 build, but my phone's been off the charger since noon (6hrs) and it claims to be at 71% and have 21 hours remaining. Before this build, I'd get an honest 15-18 hour day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I have noticed some battery improvement, too. Seems to be spending more time in lower CPU frequencies and in deep sleep.

exFat card reading

For those who have still had issues with reading and using exFat SD cards I found a easy workaround if you are on TWRP. Download TWRP Manager (root) from the playstore and open it. If your SD card is not being read it will offer a fix. Click to fix and reboot. If that doesn't do the trick there is a menu item in TWRP Manager that does the same thing: use that. This enabled me to use my SD card fully.

I have also found mucho battery drain from Google Transport Backup. I can disable it and that helps (and I don't use Google Backup so it's not a biggy) but I would like to freeze it and be done with it every being on again. Can't find it under apps in Titanium Backup to freeze. Any suggestions?

Compass is broken. It would be great if it can be fixed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rajones19:
Yeah, the compass has been broken for many months, and carried over from CM11 . The only way I got the compass working was with Faux kernel, and after M9 you couldn't use 3rd party kernels. Very frustrating, and at this point, I don't hold out a lot of hope.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] phonedawg:
Why cant someone see why it works in faux and incorporate that fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zman2107:
Compass works for me but I'm on kt kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] musicfreak190:
It's WIFI.. WIFI off there is no Misc drain. Wifi ON it will use half or more of the battery.

Seems just like the bug that held back the release of 5.0 OTA to the nexus devices..

I've been using mostly TW for the past month but I think it's time to get away from it for a bit. For my gapps I've always used this minimal gapps package. Banks provides regular updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rustynutzz:
That's a good gapps too. I couldn't resist 4.3. I was on tw and while its a lot better than before, it doesn't come close to aosp. The only thing I miss is the HDR function from the tw camera. HDR on the native camera shoots but doesn't display properly in the gallery. The focal HDR is OK, but that's one thing tw had right. The colors just seemed to pop with that setting on tw.

i think we need a different GAPPS for that, perhaps one for the Developer Edition. AOSP Gallery doesn't have SD card built in since it doesn't suppot SD cards....

not sure there is a 4.3 GAPPS available anywhere that has that option available. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong...

Haven't heard of any at this point.

Someone mentioned a work around that used a program to sync the camera folder to your folder of choice on your SD card. It would sync once a week or so then delete the original. Can't remember which thread I read it in though.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rajones19:
Ever hopeful, I just tried 12/8 build with stock kernel, KT kernel, AluCard 1.0d and AluCard 1.0e, and behavior was identical in every case. After calibrating the compass in GPS Status and Toolbox, it *almost* points north - within 45 degrees or so. When accessing any app that requires input from the magnetic compass (i.e. standing still), like Google Sky, any other astronomy app, or Geocaching app, the compass report is 180 degrees off. The North Star is consistently due south. If you are moving, the GPS sensors provide your direction and the compass appears to work. If you are standing still, God help you if you don't know which way is north! This has persisted since CM11. The only kernel I found with CM11 that fixed the compass for me was Faux123, but even that didn't work for everybody. The word back then was that the devs need blobs directly from Samsung, which were not available, and apparently still are not.
