I use an unlocked m919 on at&t. After first installing CM12, I noticed signal would completely drop out every ten minutes (appox) and stay gone for about a minute. No calls, no sms. I was on the mk2 baseband and modem. Odin NH7 modem, but same issue. Tried this rom, but issue persisted. Finally, I made a backup to extsd and odin entire NH7 tar. Verified now on both NH7 bootloader AND modem. Flash twrp and restored this rom. All signal dropouts seem to have disappeared. Full bars consistently at this location. So, if you are experiencing signal issues with these 5.0 and up roms, you may want to get your baseband/bootloader combo looked at.

This rom is running wonderfully.

Hey, for anyone using the latest philz recover you must allow old update scripts. I forget the name of the option but its fairly obvious from what I remeber. I forgot to mention it the other day.

You say to flash Super SU after flashing this ROM but there is no download link provided in the OP? Is the ROM already rooted by default?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chispas109:
No need to flash SU anymore
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tcdos:
Thanks for the prompt response. So just to confirm then, the ROM is already rooted by default right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rebel1699:
The op says it is now prerooted. No need to flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tcdos:
Thanks for the help. I saw in your previous post that you had issues with signal dropouts? I'm also experiencing the same issues on my m919. I am currently on the MDL firmware and would like to ugprade to the NH7 firmware & modem. How would I go about doing this? I'm also on Dan's 4.4 GPE ROM if that matters.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tcdos:
Right, but how do I flash/install it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
You'll need to use Odin for that. Search on youtube, it has lot of videos with steps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tcdos:
Ok great, thanks for the help. However, I'm a still a bit confused as to what you linked me to earlier. Aren't those the stock firmwares Samsung? Is it possible for me to just flash the modem? I want to be able to use it with this ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] caloyzki:
where i can locate this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rebel1699:
Yes, you can just flash the modem. I have the twrp flashable NH7 modem I can upload. Best to match your baseband and modem though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spacemonkie4207:
You need a program such as SetCPU or CPU control from play store. I use Faux settings but it's a paid app
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tcdos:
All I know is that I am running the MDL bootloader. How can I check my current baseband and modem?

Bluetooth Audio Issues

This rom is great. I've been using it as my daily runner for almost 2 days now and it has been super solid. However, I am having a problem with bluetooth audio. When I connect my phone to my car radio and play a song the song will skip or stutter continuously. It will do this regardless of what music app I use. I have researched this issue and it does not seem be a specific issue of your rom. It is actually an inherent issue to lollipop as Nexus 4, 5, and 7 owners are reporting the same problem with their OTA roms. I posted here with hopes that someone knows a workaround.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tcdos:
So my bootloader and baseband are NB4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pmdied:
I'm on stock 4.4.4 with nh7 modem. I can flash right over after full wipe?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tcdos:
Could you upload the NH7 bootloader and baseband?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbmg:
Getting stuttering as well while playing audio. Just had a random reboot while watching YouTube. This ROM is real smooth, and once I installed quickpic all my gallery/video problems went away. I'm assuming once a compatible kernel comes along the audio issues will subside.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HeavyA:
I can't get titanium to get root even after allowing it in SuperSU.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbmg:
Did you try system settings/developer options/ check USB debugging?

Edit: in order to get developer options make sure to system settings/about phone/ tap build number 10 times or something like that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HeavyA:
Yes I did. I double checked that I truly had root, and tried reflashing SuperSU. I may just have to try to reflash the ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tcdos:
I can't seem to turn off verify apps in this version of the ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbmg:
Is it just not unchecking?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tcdos:
Pretty much yes. The box is grayed out so I can't uncheck or check it, but by default it's on so restoring apps with TiBu is a pain.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dadykhoff:
Don't you need the paid version of TiBu for that? Or am I thinking of something else?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pclov3r:
Hey Dan can I have permission to use this ROM and port it over and release it for the Sprint S4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xenotrumpet:
Stock kernel on this ROM is godawful. Too many times does it reset to min. I have to keep tapping the screen so it doesn't stay in min. Yes, I have tried using both interactive and ondemand governors.

Any custom kernels yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tcdos:
Also, for some reason when using Google Chrome on this ROM, the tabs button is missing for me. I'm not sure if this is a bug with the ROM or an issue on my end.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pclov3r:
It's a feature. You can disable in chrome settings under merge tabs.

Otherwise your tabs are integrated with your recent apps. Hold the home button down and you should see them.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spacemonkie4207:
Full flash and md5 is always best, almost guaranteed not to have issues (system files. Configuration data etc)

You can dirty flash but then you risk conflicts which will waste more time because you'll have to wipe and flash again.

I know blah blah blah

I always do an MD5 check then full wipe and flash. I've rarely run into issues and have found bad downloads with an md5 mismatch.

I don't recall seeing this on version one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rebel1699:
In your app drawer, tap google settings. Tap security. Disable. Its not in the normal settings anymore (or at least not operable from there). Tibu has had a few other hiccups, though. Restoring one by one seems ok, but batch restore faile every time for me. Could have something to do with the extra sub directory the apks are housed in on 5.0.x
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] srdryl:
Ok I have TWRP and every time I use TWRP 2810 and fix permissions when I reboot I ALWAYS get stuck in bootloop so I tried Philz but I sure prefer TWRP

Why are you needing to fix perms from within recovery? Even while doing heavy work on the os, I have not had any need to fix any perms from recovery for almost two years
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Fix permissions is obsolete anyways....it was implemented into cwr long time ago for fixing permissions of apps on app2sd to fix permission problems when cm added app 2 SD before Google back on 2.2/2.3. It's a "fix all placebo" nowadays.

Steve KondikJul 23, 2013

Patch Set 2:

Can we just remove fix_permissions already? It's total placebo these days. I wrote it for dealing with the silly things that happen when we used to put apps on SD before Android supported it. Since then, it's been something of a sugar pill that magically fixes all problems without actually doing anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rebel1699:
Exactly right. The only thing anyone needs to fix permissions is a root file manager, and at least a small idea of what and why. If your not manually dropping apk's in or modifying system files, perms changing is not needed anyways.

Anyone know why I'm still getting stuck on the spinning colors loading on first boot?

Using 2.8.1 TWRP, NH7 firmware, full wipe prior to flashing.

Edit: Nvm, I somehow managed to download yesterday's version. Redownloaded the correct one and works fine!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] onlythebrave86:
The issue of audio skipping isn't only limited to bluetooth audio. It's only when the screen is off. So you can play music through the speaker, turn the screen off, and it will start skipping as well.

So the bluetooth A2DP audio isn't the issue. As Danvdh said, it is likely the kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
i've stopped most bluetooth a2dp skipping with poweramp buffering tweaks and "high priority", now only super big audio files have slight hiccups, I haven't tried interactive governor yet, headphones have always been fine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] onlythebrave86:
I've never tried using poweramp, but I'm assuming using this wouldn't solve issues in other programs such as Play Music, correct?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cdru:
There's a checkbox under the download links that removes the adware "download manager" crap. It took me a bit to notice that. I had the same issue and downloaded the wrong version with the mirror as well.

---------- Post added at 03:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 AM ----------

I'm having the same issue, except neither version works for me. Had to use Ktoonsez kernel otherwise I couldn't even get to the spinning colors on first boot.

Edited: NM. Apparently the "I only support the latest TWRP recovery" wasn't merely a suggestion. Updated to TWRP 2.8.1.0 and it now works. I'm an idiot. Maybe this will help someone else out too.

Bluetooth studder and reboots

Hello all,

I'm getting pretty heavy stuttering on Bluetooth music when the screen is off using Google play. Even when screen is on when I'm typing this. I'm aiming this is a kernel issue. Any fixes and tweaks? I'm using googy max.

Also,... reporting random reboots. Two in about a day of use.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nicholasb:
Same issue here with stuttering bluetooth audio. Great otherwise, no random reboots for me - running NH7 baseband (no-nox).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RBalber:
As Dan has said in prior posts, the lag is there. He believes its caused by the kernel. As of right now I don't think there's a fix. What you can do if you want audio without lag is keep the screen on. I noticed it doesn't lag when screen is on, only does it when off. I just have charging in car when I do this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nkhater:
I found a solution, convert the mp3 to ogg and move it to /system/media/audio/notifications and or ringtones

make sure you mount /system in read/ write

Ktoonsez

Hey guys, I have the T-Mobile S4 and I was wondering if Ktoonsez's kernel would work on this ROM? I like to use his kernel because it allows me to strengthen the vibration (so that I won't miss notifications). If it won't work on this version, any suggestions on how I could make the vibration stronger?

Thanks

Anyone else experiencing a big battery drain from "Cell Standby?" It's taking 54% of the battery. My SOT is about 3 hours. I can post screenshots of the stats if anyone wants to take a look.

Asides from a few hiccups like Bluetooth, battery drain (atleast for me), Advanced Reboot, video playback stuttering in Chrome, and minimum brightness (could be much lower), everything works like it's supposed to. This is a VERY solid ROM! This is the first release so i'm very happy with how stable this is for a daily driver. Thanks to Dan and Crew., you guys are great!

Wow I didn't know that fix permissions was placebo I run it all the time I use it in case some apps don't work. I used to think they seem to work better after I run it I guess it was just my imagination. I'm gonna have to get used to not running it. But can you tell me why when I restart I get stuck in bootloop.

Regarding LTE dropping out.

I'm on the Nb4 baseband (t-mobile usa), how does updating the rom while on an older modem affect signal reception? Or does it? Not complaining... serious question. The rom is running great for me but may have some connection issues... just wondering how these two variables relate to each other.

Would the wifi hotspot hack work with this rom? I know there's a couple different to available flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] invisiblewave:
Installing with NB4

Thought I'd try this first without updating the modem/firmware. So far, so good. I flashed the Googy kernel in the hope of avoiding the bluetooth issues, and the one song I've tried so far worked without a hitch. Phone works, wifi works, LTE works, haven't found anything yet that doesn't. LTE is giving me 65mbs down and 25mbs up, which is slower than on previous tests (>90mbs) but still twice the speed of Time Warner's "turbo" internet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Irreverence:
went from 4.x GPE to 5.0 GPE. felt like wifi was slow which reminded me to update from mk2 to nh7. after using my phone for a day i noticed two more issues: the audio stuttering, and lag while playing a game. at the end of each round of this game my clock speed was reportedly dipping down to 400 MHz. flashed googy's 1.2.3c and the game doesn't lag anymore. audio improved significantly but i'm still getting a little stuttering (might be because i'm streaming it)

overall, i'm very happy with this rom and i'm looking forward to future builds. thank you very much dan :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brian117:
This is the very first GPE ROM I have installed on my T-Mo S4. I have ALWAYS used TW because I needed the WiFi Calling feature but I decided to try and take a step away from all that and see how well I can handle it. I am super excited so far because this ROM is amazing. It's so smooth and fast. Haven't encountered ANY issues yet. I have everything set up to my likings and restored all my apps and data, and the phone is still blazing smooth. Thank you so much for this ROM. This is my new daily driver.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbm0329:
Just wanted to get the community's opinion. From my viewpoint, Google needs to fix the way we silence our phones because it's horrible now! I see why people go with other OEMs. I shouldn't have to configure my phone to give me notifications. Volume button down/up...done... They ruined simplicity. In lollipop, if I say no interruptions, then my notification light for missed calls and texts don't work, even if I choose Textra as a priority. If I chose 'priority' it wants to vibrate and play a sound. I think I figured out how to turn the sound off, but not the vibration (I prefer vibrate over ringing when it's not silent). I know I can download widgets but they haven't worked too well, plus that's an extra step when it used to be super simple! Some of us rely on the notification lights when the phone is silent.

What am I missing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nickdroid86:
Ok never mind on my previous question. Is there a way to make the notification bar clear?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Use Nova or other launcher
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nickdroid86:
Is there a way to do that without changing more of my icons and stuff? I really dislike launchers.
