[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BiggJurk:
can someone please help, I have asked a couple times. I am losing home button and lock screen functionality. It seems it is lost after SU updates and the phone reboots.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brian117:
I do not have either of those problems. Try redownloading it and reflashing it. Do a full wipe via TWRP and reflash. Could be a bad download.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brian117:
Ouchhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I just finished setting everything up! LOL Thanks man! Downloading now! :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RBalber:
You're awesome [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION]! Thank you so much for your ongoing contributions on the S4. Are you accepting donations by chance?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jordin1128:
I disabled all the animations in the developer section in settings and ROM moves like 4.4.4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
I have a link in my profile or you can get the button under my avatar :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Just press volume up or down, then press the little bell/vibrating phone on the left side of the volume slider and it will toggle between sound and silent and notifications with led will still work. Is that what you meant?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbm0329:
Yes, that's what I was referring to, but it hasn't been a simple process for me. The notification light hasn't seemed to work too well. Since the post, I found a widget that worked extremely well. If it has worked in a simple manner for you, then maybe there was a small glitch for me. I'll do a full wipe and try the newest update. I appreciate the response. Now I just need to figure out how to increase the vibrate intensity without (without KT's kernel) :)

---------- Post added at 02:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 AM ----------

Hey Dandvdh, definitely appreciate the work. I'm definitely going to buy you a beer. :) Quick question, do you know where I could look around in a file explorer to adjust the vibration intensity? I didn't see it as an option on the Googy kernel.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
this could be a feature I request to him ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbm0329:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pclov3r:
Curious anybody have MMS issues with hangouts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Yeah I've had no problems with it ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brian117:
So it seems my signal strength is going all over the place. Would stay on LTE for a few seconds, then the bars would drop and the signal type would switch to UMTS. Then I noticed it randomly went to EDGE and switched back to UMTS. Not sure what is going on here. I have the correct APN selected and everything. I am on latest NK2 modem/bootloader. Anybody else? Icon is saying 3G most of the time and don't seem to be getting LTE at all anymore. Huh.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
no issues here, could just be t-mo, it is prime time still depending where you are
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brian117:
No idea. I managed to get LTE but the signal was 0dBm and then it went back to UMTS. Could kernels play a roll sometimes in things like this? Dialer code *#*#4636#*#* brings me to the menu where I can select which network type. "LTE Only" works, but not sure if it's good to leave it on that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
If you don't want calls it's fine ? how strong is the signal when you select LTE only?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brian117:
My signal goes from 0dbm to about -115dbm and then fluctuates back to 0dbm. I don't think I had this problem on the 12/14 release. It will not stick on a constant LTE signal for more than 5 seconds. I have the fast.t-mobile.com APN selected but doesn't seem to provide the LTE lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] recoil:
Ringtone

Hello I am having the same issue as other users where it does not matter what custom ringtone I set the phone is always stuck on the default one, same thing goes for notifications. I did follow the advise of this thread and converted the MP3 to OGG and moved it to the system/... folder and it does work now however is just a band-aid to the problem, has anyone figured out what the real problem is? And most importantly how to fix it?

Other than that small issue everything works great, thank you for the great rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Geordie Boyo:
Took the plunge and updated to Lollipop 5.0 GPE latest version on this thread.

Used TWRP 2.8.1.0 recovery, clean wipe, and flashed no problems.

I flashed the Googy 1.2.3c kernel as well before first reboot.

So far, been using approx 15 hours and had no RR, performance is smooth, not had chance to check bluetooth out yet, but will do so when I have more time today.

First thoughts am impressed with this build. Flashed the Ad-Blocking hosts file as well, no problems appears to be working ok.

I do miss gravitybox and the misc tweaks here and there, but the overall OS outweighs them.

Great job guys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qpqpqp:
Will this also update to the latest modem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XBlackChaosX:
Is the Device automatically encrypted now?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbackdoor:
I do too have issues with LTE to stick. By doing the *#*#4636#*#* dialing and change to LTE preference doesn't work either. My situation however is a bit different. Tmobile Phone on ATT network. What strange is when I flash GE 4.4.4 then GE 5 ... LTE works perfectly. *** I am on the latest NK2 *** I am not complaining. Been trying to get it to work for a few days on multiple versions. Same issues with CM 12. Just wondering if any experts can enlighten me. Thanks all
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
No
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ronaldh05:
I am currently on the latest version 121714 and NK2 with T-Mobile. On the last build while I was at the gym Pandora was skipping the whole time and I remember reading people were having problems with Bluetooth (I had headphones straight to my phone) so I though it was related. When I flashed the newest build last night and was at the gym this morning it was doing the same thing and I noticed my signal was on H the whole time. When I have good signal or WiFi there is no skipping... When I was on 4.4.4 unrooted I had LTE the whole time I was in the gym. Loving the ROM so far, thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] invisiblewave:
I've just installed the latest build and there's no problem with LTE here. I'm getting a consistent 91mb/s down and 26mb/s up. I'm on the NB4 modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbm0329:
Is this something that you could request of him and we could just flash Googy separately or would it have to wait for a ROM update? I almost missed a call today at work because my phone was on vibrate and I could barely feel it (on my hip).

If he could at least give me a path to look at on my own phone, I'd at least check it out...

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] liwigo:
Is that possible change Model number to SGH-M919 ? (T-Mobile)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roly99:
THANKS!

I must say this rom is awesome. I've been flashing roms back and forth for a few days trying to decide, but the bluetooth issues were bothering me. I'm glad I finally found the perfect rom. It's the small things that make it great, like I'm not usually one to keep touch sounds on, but the tones used here are very muted. Battery life also seems to be way better with Googy.

Awesome ROM, thanks Dan!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rahlquist:
Great work! Payday is tomorrow and there will be a tip coming for this!

One question, has anyone found a good way to dark theme this baby yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] g1junky:
Is anyone else getting the Sim removed error on this rom? I've got it at least 6 times since 6am.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ronaldh05:
Don't know too much about this stuff... Is the modem same as baseband? If so is the NB4 a previous modem? If so can I go back to it by flashing it or through odin to see if it helps my signal? Last if so..... Where can I find it. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] invisiblewave:
NB4 is an older modem, I'm still on the pre-knox firmware so I didn't want to change it because I think doing so would have necessitated a full firmware update. I don't know whether you can go back to it or not, but I'm not sure why you'd want to anyway, the newer ones should be at least as good.

Firmwares are here.

Baseband, by my understanding, is radio and modem. Full firmware includes baseband plus the bootloader. I'm still on the MDL bootloader, but with the NB4 baseband.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kaseykrehbiel:
Is there any way to get the long-press volume button music controls into this ROM? That's the only thing holding me back!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brian117:
Yeah I'm not complaining either. This ROM is awesome and if I could just get LTE to stick and hold a constant signal because I do live in an LTE area and get LTE on TW roms. But these GPE editions do not seem to work well with signals. Still think it could be a kernel problem but not positive. I am on the latest NK2 as well. Just curious if anybody esle was having LTE problems or if it was some kind of PEBKAC error,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
Dark theme would be awesome. I'm not at all fond of Material Design. It's too white and bright. I quite like Holo theme.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cosmos10040:
So far so good. I like the ROM. Is there anyway to take screen shots? I used to hold power button and the option would appear along with reboot and airplane mode. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Teknodad1974:
Is there s stock file manager? & How to take screen shots?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
You can edit the build.prop to change the model number
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Power and volume down for screenshot. For file manager, download one from play store
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Nope, you'll need to install one from play store. Dan might add one in future releases like he did for the KitKat GPE ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rahlquist:
Hrmmm wonder if I should bother to update, I am on M919UVUFNB4 ....

So how do you manage without wifi calling? I go to a few clients where signal is iffy but I'm able to connect to their wifi. Otherwise my phone is a paperweight...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] NuShrike:
[MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] If you haven't noticed, I've donated twice so far. June 27th, and Dec 15th.

Still looking for a no-flicker rom option/build.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] guyverzero:
This is probably low on the priority list for now, but is there any chance you'll be doing dark options on the dialer/contacts like you did with kk? I'm still not ready to take the plunge considering the lack of xposed, but it's really tempting
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] invisiblewave:
Based on the reported experiences here compared to my NB4 performance, why bother??? Mine's rock solid with a download speed of >90mb/s, I can't see a case for changing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
Man, as crazy as it sounds, there used to be a time when people weren't reachable every moment of the day. Then, we were for most of the day, and we developed this immensely handy thing called voicemail which allowed us to stay on top of things when weren't available.

I apologize for the condescension, but it irks me to see 300,000 comments about WiFi calling in this thread when it's already been well established that non-TW roms don't support it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pmdied:
I run my own business so a missed call is a missed opportunity. I am fully aware that wifi calling is a tw/t mobile feature but if there is a work around I'm curious. And yes, apologizing for sounding condescending is precisely that. There's a reason why people ask questions to about topics that have been answered because sometimes other users may have a different experience or solution and that was my intent.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
I don't see any flickering mate, I guess its just your phone? thanks for the support :D I will send you a framework-res tonight, check your PMs

also

@ Everyone

This is a fix for the status bar signal cluster while not having any kind of data connection including WIFI, in GPE they are gray which was a derp by Samsung, thanks to my users in the INTL thread for pointing this out, I have created a zip to fix the issue

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95857557620393356

reboot recovery (Settings>interface>reboot options)

flash

reboot

enjoy ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rebel1699:
I also use an M919 t-mo on at&t service. The lte drops we get are unfortunate, but no fix has been found. Personally, I just set my preferred network to 3g, and all drops stopped. I dont live in an lte area, so it was a no brainer for me with no downside. But for those with this issue that live in an lte area, waiting for a fix is unfortunately the only option to have lte AND a stable signal.

Btw, this issue persists across all modems. NB4, MK2, NH7, NK2.......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkoenig00:
I'm running the latest 4.4.4 ROM, and just got the "update to 5.0" notification. It pops up all the time, and when I click it, and hold back to kill it, it says "killed google play services." How can i get rid of this notification? Should I freeze google play services with TB?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
let it download and delete it out of /cache then try to update, will never ask you again, if you use gravitybox you can block ongoing notifications from that app too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sud_ran:
Do link2sd, viper4android, xposed fw work with 5.0?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jwgizmo:
Update to lollipop

Im running Android 4.4.4 on my T-mo S4. (see pic)

Can this 5.0.1 ROM dated 12-17-14 be flashed on my S4?

Will I need to flash G-Apps too?

Anything else needed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spacemonkie4207:
Yes, don't know and definitely no.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbm0329:
Screen shots are done by holding the power button and the volume down button at the same time. I think that's the standard for aosp ROMs. Power and home key is a Samsung process,while holding the power button and it would give u options is probably related to a developer's customization.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbackdoor:
I am on this ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2774289), and LTE works perfectly. Just you don't get the optimizations and customizations like you do on this one. Strange both are based off the same source. Anyhow, if you want LTE connection, head over. I am in southern CAL, so LTE is a must.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Kernel update

Googy released GoogyMax3_GE5-Kernel_1.2.3d_CWM.zip, grab it here

Updates from Lollipop sources (mainly drivers: gpu, media/video, sound/soc ...) - (it's pretty much 5.01 as that is 80% of what that update is, that and 2 minor framework edits)

[MENTION=295228]skygear[/MENTION] Also, make sure you are flashing using Odin 3.07 using the PHONE button to load the modem.bin files. (Unlike rooting or installing custom recovery where you had to use PDA)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] skygear:
I am. Tried all the versions. 3.09, 3.07, on down... Even using the latest drivers after all else failed. Strange. It takes recovery's fine, just not these 2 files.

I am by no means a noob and this really has me doubting myself. Has to be the files for some reason.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] spyke1999:
It's not the files
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] punkkloser:
Don't reboot after install of the modem. It won't stick that way. Power off and restart. Profit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] polo79:
I thought that while in the new 4.4.1 camera taking an HDR photo would show a loading status while processing the HDR photo. Mine doesn't do that, is that not present in the GE version of 4.4.1 camera?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] niccuany:
I believe the loading circle for hdr is another Nexus 5 exclusive. I've seen the update for Nexus 4 doesn't have it either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] blabbersoft:
I was able to use Mobile Odin, but you first need to drop back to a 4.2.2 ROM and then install MO. Once you go in use one as modem 1 and the other as modem 2. Once you restart verify the baseband is mk2, then reboot to recovery wipe everything. Now you should be able to install and keep signal and data. I was able to do this from work with no access to a computer. Was a pain to download the ROMs over mobile data, but it worked after a few headaches. Let me know if you need more details or help. Best of luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] polo79:
That is weird. How hard could it be to add that??? Thanks anyway dude!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DevinQuigley:
They want to keep some things on the Nexus5 exclusive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
either way

The camera is flawless, Loving this
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] skygear:
Working on that right now. Using an OLD backup. Will see how it goes. Thank you.

---------- Post added at 03:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 AM ----------

Not the issue at all. MODEM fails in ODIN when FLASHING. both of the files do. The it hangs....\\\

Trying the 4.2.2 Mobile Odin Method in a few minutes here. Hope it is a smooth process.

---------- Post added at 04:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 AM ----------

Yep. That worked. Thanks. I still need to figure out why my Odin is not working. Mobile Odin on 4.2.2 worked fine. Back on today's build from a backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Glad everything worked out for you man
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nba1341:
Is there a flash or kernel to fix wifi on this rom?

It worked the first time I loaded up the rom but after restoring my apps and texts and rebooting it just says "Turning wifi on" forever now... :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
Redownload the ROM, verify the MD5 and flash in TWRP following the OP instructions. The problem is on you're end my friend and there is not much I can do to fix you're situation

to everyone else

I would like to say this 4.4 is officially stable and good to go, I have numerous people running it with nothing but praise.

with this being said 4.4.1 is around the corner and the main thing that firmware update is going to fix is the camera that is already fixed in this build, This build as of today is very stable and believe me when I say this, I am the most OCD person you know when it comes to releasing a build, I will push an entire new release just to fix one minor issue and I don't care, I want perfection and will clean flash to test a build to release if there is a force close to be patched, I'm not the type to offer flash zip fixes and wait weeks before making an update.

All in all now that we have a very stable daily driver here on 4.4 I ask that everyone PLEASE don't nag for 4.4.1 which can drop at anytime OTA. The main fix has already been incorporated into this ROM and that is 2mp front facing cam support and HDR among other camera improvements. when the update hits you're device use the "ongoing notification blocker" feature in gravity box provided in this ROM to simply block "Google Service Framework" from showing you OTA and simply ignore it, it will never nag you again, you can also download it and just delete it and wait for my 4.4.1 release (Flashing the OTA will simply fail in recovery)

Don't worry, Google Service Framework does not show any other notifications but the OTA so you won't be missing ANYTHING else :)

Enjoy this very stable 4.4 ROM, It is a very good daily driver and if development is rough on 4.4.1, STAY ON THIS BUILD

Cheers

Dan
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbm0329:
Hey Dan, when you request the ability to adjust the vibration in the Googy kernel, can that be in a separate kernel update or will it have to wait for your next ROM update?

its in the kernel, goto googy-stweaks and misc tab :P

Flashed Flashed and done!

Thanks for the updates, [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION]. ROM been running smooth. No random reboots. No bluetooth audio stutter. I do notice random service dropout while screen is off (Light Flow blinks the no service LED), but it gets it back in a few seconds after screen turns on, so not sure what the deal is. I've only noticed it while WIFI is connected. Will have to test without WIFI completely.

I flashed NH7 full package (not just the baseband) before flashing your ROM.

Just DL'd this ROM, wiped, flashed and attempted to reboot. It sits there and returns to TWRP

What did I do wrong?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tcdos:
I'm also curious about this. Should I flash the ROM first and then the kernel or should it be the other way around?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ronaldh05:
Did you flash the correct kernel? I flashed the wrong one at first and that's what it was doing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] onlythebrave86:
For a file manager, check out Cabinet on the play store:

I actually didn't flash a kernel. I DL'd the GoogyMax3_GE-Kernel

do I flash that first, or does it matter?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skitts:
Well First trying Downloading the ROM again probably it was a Bad Download Or something.

Do a full Wipe (System,data and Etc)

Flash ROM

Flash kernel and reboot

And If That doesn't work Try Rebooting it without the The Sd-card inserted and Do a Regular Wipe (Data and cache) and reboot worked for me booted fine
