Some apps not available in Play Store

So I've noticed recently that there are a few apps in the play store that I am unable to install due to an error that says 'Your device is not compatible with this version'. I don't recall off the top of my head which ones they are as its not that big of a deal, just an annoyance. These are not device/carrier/manufacturer specific apps either, they are apps that I was able to install on previous Lollipop builds.

I've cleared data on the play store app, and removed google account to no avail.

I am on the 1/28 build (clean install) but I recall noticing this from the build prior. Is anyone else having this problem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gadianton:
You may need to change the build.prop back to the SGH-M919 for that. Do a thread search on the write places.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamestx10:
We are both running 6.5.99 (1642632-438) and OS 5.0.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dr.zambonee:
As I said before, these are not device/carrier specific apps so changing the model name in my build.prop isn't going to make a difference. In addition, this only started happening a few weeks ago. I've been running nothing but Dan's GPe ROM's for over a year now, and have never run into this problem before.

I've searched through many threads about this issue.

Oh well, its really not a big deal. I'll just side load the apps when I decide I need them bad enough.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kaseykrehbiel:
I got it working after only installing the first zip. Hopefully my Chromecast still works!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mad_Technologist:
Cool, let me know if you run into any issues, especially with Chromecast as I occasionally use it, but not usually from my phone. Even so, I'd hate to think I can't use it because I put Viper on my phone. But even if Viper does cause issues, I'd just transfer it to my computer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pmdied:
The calculator crashes... Did a full clean wipe. Anyone else experiencing this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dadykhoff:
Regardless of whether or not the apps are device specific, it may still be filtered out due to compatibility issues hard coded in by the developer. If you haven't edited the build.prop, you really should, especially for these types of issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] thefuzz4:
So it was working but now its back to acting like it did before. I'm not sure what happened but I'm still on the 1/23 build and not able to have the dialer make GVoice calls.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mad_Technologist:
Do anyone know if I can use the Samsung Keyboard? That's really the best keyboard I've used and the only reason I don't like the AOSP ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mguzman0971:
No. That is an exclusively function of Touch Wiz Rom & Samsung!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mad_Technologist:
Thanks for the response, but I only asked because I saw a video of Lollipop with that keyboard on youtube. Granted it was on the Note 3, but it was working. Furthermore, I saw someone supposedly ported a Samsung Keyboard that worked on AOSP ROMs as well, but it was for KitKat.

Here is the vid: http://youtu.be/UmFRLu_mSCQ?t=1m25s

And here is the keyboard: http://www.naldotech.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s5-keyboard-app/

So was just hoping that someone knew something about using it. I know Samsung KB are for TW ROMs, so seeing that vid and site gave me some hope. But, it seems it might have been for naught. Oh well, this is still a great ROM!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dadykhoff:
Yeah that is the official TW Lollipop build. I don't think there is much hope for the apps getting ported over despite that, as most of the apps on KK never got ported either.

Had an issue with this ROM. All seemed well at first. Loved how smooth and clean it all was but then suddenly I went to go turn the screen off and it hung for a second and then the screen turned off. However it would not come back. No amount of button pushing or force reboot button combos would doing anything. Even took the battery out several times and drain residual power. When I did that I'd get a galaxy s4 screen for 2 seconds but then it was back to black. Could not get to download mode, recovery, nothing. Left the phone sit for 20 minutes or so and suddenly it booted all on its own. Wrote it off as a fluke and continued to use it. 2 days later same thing happened except that time it sat for hours. Almost gave up hope and though it complely killed my phone but then once again it randomly started back up.

I really like the ROM but I have no idea where to start for troubleshooting. I did full wipe/ dalvik, etc.

I am running an older modem and a mismatched bootloader as a fix for lte. I had to do that a long time ago with previous Roms. Dunno it that would have anything to do with it?

Any thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
It's pretty strange. You may want to have latest bootloader on your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dr.zambonee:
This happened to me yesterday while grocery shopping (I like to add all my stuff up so I don't go over budget). I was 3/4 through my shopping list and the calculator crashed and erased my history.

The funny part is my wife's iPhone did the same thing.

Edit: this was in response to the question about the calculator app crashing posted above.

Wifi authentication issues

I wiped when installing. Did not restore anything from backup. Entered wifi password and connected fine. Next time I am in range of that AP and it tries to connect it shows authentication error. I click on connect and it connects fine and works until I go to connect to a different AP and then it shows the same error. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] guyverzero:
This happens to me as well, seemingly at random. When backed up and when from a clean install, sometimes I'll get the authentication error until I go into wifi and click on it. After that things will be fine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ogre6473:
Does anyone know how to improve data rates on T-Mobile? Ever since switching to this ROM, my download rates have been horrible. And streaming video? Forget about it unless it's at 320x240.

Also, my video downloads and streams have suddenly started freezing at 10 seconds. Just the video, not audio. Tapping the playback progress slider or something gets it going again for another 10 seconds until video freezes again. Not sure what the cause is as it piooed up after running this ROM for a week or so. Oddly enough, streaming doesn't freeze in Aurora browser, just Firefox and MX Video player. Hopefully the update comes soon so maybe things will work a bit better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Hope you are on latest modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ogre6473:
Here's some info.

Also, ROM has slight memory management issues. It gave me an error on not having enough memory while trying to upload the image, I only had a few apps open, all of them pretty light.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Looks like you have TMobile version. Your bootloader and modem dies not match meaning you're on old bootloader with latest modem. You may want to update to latest however I'm not sure whether it'll help. Also do you get the speed issue only on this ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ogre6473:
Yeah, it started with this ROM. I had Unicorn 5.X and before that was a slim stock ROM. The slim stock started killing my battery. Unicorn has insane data rates, but there's so many other things wrong that I couldn't use it as a DD. I switched to this in hopes of getting the best of both worlds, but while the OS is rock solid, I'm getting really slow data that sits closer to 3G or ATT's first gen HSDPA network. Even streaming 640x360 stutters. I'd updated my modem in hopes of fixing that, but I see no difference so far.

I'm probably going to reflash tomorrow with a full wipe to fix my weird video issue since it showed up some time after installing the ROM. It'd be nice if it fixed data, buy I'm not getting my hopes up on that one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JusFig:
1.Flash the latest stock firmware which is NK2 through Odin (that will get you on the same boot loader and the modem)

2. Flash TWRP through ODIN

3. Then flash SuperSU zip file in TWRP to gain root.

4. Then reflash latest build of this rom

I believe if you are not on the same boot loader and modem you will encounter the data speed issue. When you flash only the modem, it does not activate LTE. At least this has been my experience. I did the process above yesterday upgrading from the NB4 build and I've noticed a significant improvement with NK2. Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] invisiblewave:
I don't believe a "mismatched" bootloader and modem causes LTE problems. I'm on M919UVUFNB4, which is the original bootloader and a slightly newer modem, and I reliably get > 90mb/s on LTE.

My LTE is working, just really slow. My downloads are topping at about a megabyte a second instead of the usual 4-6 that I get out here. I'll try those though. Anyone have links for the latest Odin flashable twrp?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] UberFiend:
I've noticed after flashing this a while back that I can only get a reliable LTE connection, whereas before this ROM I couldn't get an LTE connection at all. Kinda ironic, but it's workable for me. I don't like the power consumption of LTE but I can get 2-3MB/s with "zero" bars, 3g/4g give me ~200-300KB/s with full reception.

Things will be fine as in you never have an issue with that AP again or fine for a little while?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] guyverzero:
A while, I can come back a couple days later and connect (or a day, or a week) and it'll have an authentication problem. Sometimes I'll go to sleep with it working, and wake up with an auth. problem. Like I said, it's all seemingly so random

Couple of questions

1 - If i choose to update to the newest built via the phone itself *popup came up* will i lose anything?

2 - How do i move my installed apps to ext sd card on this/lolipop?

I have used AppMgr Pro III for a long time but now it doesn't even show the option to do so when i try
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
1 - if you dirty flash you won't lose anything, however make a nandroid back up before. Also dev asks for a clean flash before you report any issues with dirty flash .

2 - Apps 2 SD isn't an option on this ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] NiMaD83:
Is there any way on this rom to get roms on the sd card then?

Not that I'm aware of, you can search it in the I9505 thread for this rom.

Android File Transfer write to external SD fails

After updating to latest build (20150210) I can no longer write files to the external SD card? Is this a known bug or is a fix available? I know that on earlier versions there were a few fixes, have tried and checked all the normal things but still not working.

Dev options are enabled

I can write to the internal SD card

I am on 5.0.1 20150210 Build

I checked the platform.xml file and “WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE“ has <group gid=”media_rw” /> in it...

Helped here I am stumped! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HeavyA:
Is that update really for the vanilla GPE phone, and as such not optimized by Dan? I froze the OTA app in titanium since I always check the thread for updates, do I haven't seen any notifications or anything. I'm guessing that's what's up since there's no update from Dan.

External SD card writes

So after multiple flashings of lollipop (back three versions) I have yet to find one that allows writing to external SD cards? WTH I thought google decided to change this in lollipop? I know that in Kitkat you needed to change the platform.xml file either manually or via the app in the play store. Can anyone write to their external SD cards on this rom?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Is recommended, however not an absolute necessity. Just clear interface data after you flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] invisiblewave:
I'm starting to suspect that a wipe might be necessary between the 1/23 build and anything later. I reverted to 1/23 after getting massive battery drain, and after dirty flashing 2/10 today, I've just had the same thing occur. Google Services seems to be the culprit, so I've just cleard the cache on that & Google Play Services, hopefully that'll mean I don't have to wipe!

Profiles (or the equivalent)

Wow, this ROM is really nice. It's the first 5.0 that doesn't have the annoying black screen thing during a call going on. One small thing, is there a setting I am missing that I can set the phone to "silent" for those times I need it to not ring?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ogre6473:
So after doing everything, I still have slow-ish data and local video playback struggles when using the hardware decoder. Software decoder does fine, but drains a little more battery. Not enough to be a deal breaker though.

Ok well looks like my SD card has entered into a state of perpetual read only... I can't format on a PC, MAC or a linux box. Erasing all the data on the card after reinserting it reappears! Also I can't format on the phone. On my card reader the write only toggle is off but I still can't format the card. So it appears this is the cause of my 'read only' issues. Heading out to get a replacement card today. I have seen a few posts after digging around where people have experienced their cards getting into this read only mode? Strange...

For those interested I have a SanDisk Ultra 64GB purchased at Costco so the swap out will be easy...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HeavyA:
No, you have to press the volume button down until it switches to vibrate or silent. I really miss the days of KK and earlier where I could just hold the power button and simply tap the vibrate icon, or add a quick tile to do it.

That's pretty much my only complaint about Lollipop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] invisiblewave:
They do fail occasionally, having apps2sd or a swap partition will cause a higher rate of failure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JusFig:
When you flashed to stock, did your data rate increase?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Junpei_Shibayama:
Did u tried diskpart on Windows? Probably that will fix it. Otherwise ask the Manufactor of the Card. Had the same Problem and the Card was dead... Replacing the Card helped fixing this issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ogre6473:
I didn't test it to find out, I just went through to process so everything was fresh. From on what I've been noticing with various apps though is that it may not be a speed issue, so much as a connection quality issue. To instance when I use apps for reading that don't pre-cache the whole story, I get a lot of instances of it wanting me to reload the page.
