1.) when you go to format your sd card, it ask to draw a lock pattern even if you have a password, it stilll allows you to enter a password.

2.) Sd card support for apps, i know google changed the way the sd card works in lollipop but that was a very useful feature

3.) Camera saves to phone by default even if card is inserted, you have to manually change it to sd card

4.) When using facebook messenger i had a issue when trying to send a photo the phone would detect media files such as thumbnails for media and stickers and I had to drag for ever to get to the photo I wanted to send

5.) found out I cannot unlock my device while in call

the power button key doesn't have as many options as the stock rom either which not really a big deal

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 PM ----------

did you flash or did you do an OTA update, i assume your aware of long start up process when starting since you have flashed before, try downloading the file again it may of become corrupted, boot the phone in to recovery mode and do a system wipe and install from zip file from sd card. hope i have helped

i just noticed that too but only with the front camera im gonna try this in other apps like skype to see if i have similar issues

Hi Kryten, Dan, possible to release the the stock GPE kernel edited to be permissive instead of enforcing? Kind regards,
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] flash3d:
After a few days uptime the phone becomes slow. After pressing the Google search bar (on home screen) it takes about 5 seconds to open. After a reboot everything is fast again. Was reading some complaints about this from nexus users with lollipop. Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] CypherMK:
Yes, 5 second startup here also, dunno why
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
You can change this yourself. There are apps to do it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Andrew E.:
great rom, stable..Love it! Hope to update it to 5.02 though.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] aaron kid69:
in reply to uptime

I haven't experienced this issue yet, but ive been only running the rom 24hrs I did noticed that the app cache builds up pretty quick, i have to go into settings - storage to erase it
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] flash3d:
Ok, not the only one then, Saturday I timed the start-up of Google music 24 seconds.

After reboot it was 5 seconds. Hopefully we will be getting Lollipop 5.1 and this will be addressed (cause I think this is a Lollipop issue).

Update: was reading a few pages back about disabling zram in googy-max, have just done that and rebooted. Have to wait a few days to see if it helped.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cantenna:
Yes, I'm using an app but I would prefer to have a permissive kernel altogether, your stock kernel not a 3rd party.

In any event, this ROM is just awesome with stock GPE kernel, sound over Bluetooth has been flawless for me with a couple of tweaks via trickster mod.

I'm really digging my phone. I love music!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] leandroprez26:
[MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION], I had instaled this on stock GPE Kernel, but unfortunately, the charging wall don't work.

This issue happen only me or it's "normal".

And good job, excelent work.

I am. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it but still happens. Not sure if it is a Google problem or not.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
I think, now that the OTA addons thing is in place like I wanted so, so long ago, things like this can be put there. Hell, there's already a full GApps package of everything removed from the ROM on the OTA now under Addons

Over the summer, Scott and I are going to work on the OTA some more, along with RomHut.com (though, it'll all be in place for manual use as well, of course) to give each "update" two versions. The full version, and a delta from the previous version
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Madlisboa:
Thx for the answer,i noticed the sound was different when i setup viper and is good for me,so i'll keep the default driver.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] petrus764:
I have to say, you guys are really doing a great job developing this ROM. I re-read anandtech's review of the S4 yesterday and realized the phone is two years old next month and it's not only very much alive and kicking, but it's a lot better today than what it was two years ago, much thanks to this ROM ( http://www.anandtech.com/show/6914/samsung-galaxy-s-4-review ).

In my opinion the S4 is still one of the best phones out there, it still has good performance (30k in antutu is more than good enough for daily use), a good screen, better battery life than many newer phones (4-5h sot+ depending on your configuration), replaceable battery and SD slot.

But the fact is that none of that would matter if we didn't have a good, stable ROM to use it with, and this ROM is definitely it. Over the years many developers have moved on, but you guys are working harder than ever to continue making the S4 one of the best phones available. I just want you to know how much appreciated that is.

I've many times considered upgrading, but the fact is that I can't think of a better phone out there that matches the S4 on all levels, and having a stable AOSP ROM is part of that decision. I don't want a galaxy S6, note 4, nexus 6 or any other phone.

Too bad Google killed the GPE program, the S6 is pretty but touchwiz is not and I can't see myself using it as a daily driver, not now, not ever.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Rhoban:
There seems to be a problem with unlocking the device when In-Call.

It won't turn the screen on if I press any of the buttons. The only way to unlock it when In-Call is with the proximity sensor. Otherwise you will have to wait for the call to end..

Clean installation on SPH-L720 causes mobile data to be lost

If I perform a clean install from a factory reset SPH-L720 after a short while the phone loses network data via LTE and CDMA and I can't get it back. The phone gets converted to a i9505 even though it is a SPH-L720. Is there a way to prevent it from shutting off the data. The only way I can get it back is to re-install stock NG2 ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cantenna:
Yes, I posted that earlier as we'll i.e. V4A effect does not auto start on boot, it is necessity to start app to get it going after boot for effect to start. But, I also posted a solution that results in a better audio experience than what I had in kitkat

Me too, at times.

I've been noticing this many builds ago but it didn't affect my daily usage, so I never bothered.

I am not too sure if people here know but V4A does not work correctly on the default setting on Lollipop. I looked around and here is the steps to make V4A work 100% :

Step 1: Download SELinux Mode Changer, because you need SELinux to be set on permissive.

Step 2: Install Busybox, V4A requires a working Busybox.

Step 3: Go to the Developer options. Search for this option: Use NuPlayer (experimental), unclick this option, so you will use AwesomePlayer. (Very important step!)

Step 4: Install Viper4Android, I chose the super audio quality option, because I didn't notice any extra battery drain.

Step 5: Test it with your favorite music player.

I am using PomerAmp and I dont need to make sure V4A is open for it to work and I tested all of the tabs and settings in V4A and I can say it works 100% for me.

P.S. Sorry, off topic.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cantenna:
I didn't have to install busybox on this ROM to get v4a to work only install it on top of a disabled AudioFX, so I wouldn't recommend installing busybox, out of curiosity, which option did you select in aroma options for audio when installing ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Viper4Android works out of the box with the latest version.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Rhoban:
It does on the default music player.

But for me it doesn't work on Poweramp or Winamp.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] maciejk-pl:
Works for me out of the box with Google Play Music, Netflix, YouTube and basically all audio output from the device.

I have tested proximty fix on playstore but no effect
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ricardofago:
V4A always worked for me out of the box. The only problem I have is that I can only install its driver straight after a clean flash. After I restore any apps/data, the driver installation fails. Not sure how it behaves for FX uses, now that it is bundled in Aroma (I use XHiFi).

However, there is a known situation for PowerAMP users that V4A needs direct volume control to be disabled in PowerAMP's settings.

Both those apps use their own EQ. I use Spotify, which works fine with V4A. Others have mentioned other apps which also work fine.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Rhoban:
V4A, or viper4android is an sound enhancement software. Basically it should give you a better listening experience.

Music stuttering is not related to viper. You could try de interactive governor and fiops io scheduler.

Try Googy-Max kernel.

It detects the TV (wireless display) it tries to establish a connection (the TV starts to enter in cast screen mode) but then it fails and disconnects. Using official lollipop works.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Z-Blade:
I selected Viper4Android, I didnt install it separately since it comes with the rom. I had issues with V4A on poweramp e.g. Poweramp and V4A will lock up if I press and hold the MusicFX button.

I thought BusyBox came with this Rom since it was in the App drawer and I never installed it (I think). It could be just me who has this issue but when I Google Viper4Android for lollipop, a few sites said to do exactly what I posted and it worked for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bhairavp:
Same issue on my Anker 5200mAh as well.

I've restricted the NLPWakeLock and NLPCollectorWakelock using Amplify, let's see if this works.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
Anker, to my knowledge, only sell on Amazon, so the ones on eBay won't be from Anker themselves. I'd buy form Amazon only. They're cheap enough, and Amazon are the most amazing company when it comes to warranty and support.

Just my 2c.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kimlaurits:
Works for me aswell with other apps - I use Outlook right now, but if I could I would prefer to have all my mail accounts in the Gmail app.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] petrus764:
Pretty sure http://stores.ebay.com/AnkerDirect/About-ANKER.html is anker official. Anyway, doesn't matter if you've tried with another battery and still have the same issue, it's probably software causing the drain.

kimlaurits: Which exchange-service are you using?

I'd download an older version of the rom if I were you and extract the exchange3 apk along with gmail from /system/apps and transfer it to your new phone with root explorer to /system/apps and give it rw-r-r permissions, reboot phone.

Remove all exchange apks and gmail-apps first though, start fresh.

AOSP email can't use the exchange3 services apk, it uses exchange2, not sure what the difference is, but they're not the same atleast. So if you've been mixing it up with these two, it might explain why youre having issues.

I too use Nine because lollipop has major exchange push issues (read on the aosp bug tracker), and Nine is pretty great if you ask me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:

Why even install it? Maps works without and ivona (free) is much better
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] droid_1989:
I have no idea, it comes with the rom. either that or it is in my backup/restore when I flash.

Anyway, uninstalling didn't work, must be in system/app but can't find it, [MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION] don;t mean to be bother you, but do you know where it lives?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattBooth:
it's a data app I think? You can uninstall the normal way for an app :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] droid_1989:
See when I uninstall this the normal way, I reboot the phone, and then before I have even got to the play store, it downloads the update.

What directory is this in, i'll delete, reboot and install from play store.

If you use Stickmount you have to search on storage/0/usbStorage

I don't know what I was doing wrong, but apparently I checked in the totaly wrong place. For some reason, the memory-stick is found in "Device/sdcard/usbStorage..." after it is mounted, so yeah it is working now with StickMount (not without it though).
