Has a great description of each package, what they include, and what gets replaced (if anything). If you use Hangouts for SMS, Chrome as your browser, and prefer the Google keyboard, stock is a nice package as it will remove all the redundant apps for you. Full modular is great if you want to keep everything and decide what you want to remove yourself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] suoirotoN:
Thank you for the reply. I decided to use the full modular package when I flashed today's build. It's running great so far, thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Time to report in LOL. What all issues are left. Trying to get a list of what's still going on. Gonna convey it to invisblek. I'm sure he knows most of them but still. He's a good guy and will take it the info.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Compass (I know it is known and may require drivers from Sammy)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Even the ones that have been mentioned. Gonna list them in biggest to littlest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I have also read about slow wifi speed, especially on downloads.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
I have seen my wifi disconnect a few times, a toggle back and forth will fix it, but still.

Also, the screen going dark after calling is finicky with the proximity sensor. A manual way to turn on the screen during the call would be great. Other than that, as a touchwiz guy, I love this rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Now that I think a little more there is the occasional freeze of the display but I haven't been able to narrow it down to a particular chain of events to recreate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
Compass , and the WiFi drops off from time to time and slow download as well and no saving pics to ext SD card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sherdog16:
My gallery is incredibly slow to populate. I'm using kt kernel so maybe stock is better?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Try it on the next nightly update without KT kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
You can save pics to the SD card using an Xposed module. Works perfectly. Called pics2sd or something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
How do I install xposed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ban-Hammer:
I'm on the Euroskank 1-19-14 build, the only thing that stands out is the inability to send text message with SYNC, and no message notification pushed to SYNC. Outside of that, I get an occasional freeze and Snapchat acts wonky every now and then. I'm on ART.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
I conveyed everything to invisblek. I'm sure he will add it to the list if it's not on there already. I've been keeping an eye on the commit change log for big fixes and so forth. If I see any I'll be sure to post them with links. Not expecting anything. I've been doing that for some while now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
soft nav buttons don't register taps reliably

If I turn the software nav buttons (1/18 nightly if it matters), they are enabled fine, but they don't always register my taps. The easiest way to reproduce is to hit the app draw button from my home screen and then immediately hit home. On cm 10.2, I was able to tap back and forth between home screen and app drawer without issue, but now in cm11 with software nav enabled, when I hit the home button it doesn't register half the time (or more) and I don't see the button glow or any haptic feedback when it "misses" the tap. Strangely enough, if I'm on the launcher's home screen, it registers every tap properly (at least, haptic feedback and button glow happen so I assume so). But for some reason, when I'm in an app, it misses the tap very frequently. Has anyone else noticed this?

BTW, also experiencing the complete UI freeze for 5-10 seconds or so, periodically.

*edit* - oh one other data point. When I had a Nexus5 with CM 11 (M1), it didn't do this. Also had someone confirm they see this on last night's euroskank build and that they do NOT see it on their n7. So it seems jf-specific. And to be clear, you have to hit home RIGHT after opening the app drawer to reproduce it. While this may be just a minor annoyance, it was not like this on jellybean (neither cm10.2 nor aok mr2) and it does happen randomly when, for example, I hit the back button right after opening an app. Not even sure what info/data I can provide to help debug as I'm not sure a logcat would show anything relevant?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Has anyone noticed the adaptive backlight acting strange? It seems as if it isn't always working, screen sometimes stays dim in brighter light.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eikoo:
Does CM 11 support the aptX bluetooth audio codec?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
I just tried mine using a lamp and it seems to be working. Takes a minute for it to adjust but it is adjusting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I'll check it again tomorrow, just flashed 1/20 about an hour ago (been dirty flashing since around the 12/15 build). Earlier today in bright light it didn't seem to be working. Maybe I just looked at it wrong. On earlier builds it seemed like it was responding quicker to light changes.

Haven't had any ui freezes and or been able to reproduce the "disappearing dialer" in a couple days.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
May be one of the reboot fix issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
what a great module, i love it.

only downside i found from it is when taking a photo straight from hangouts (and i assume messaging app) it still makes another camera folder in the gallery. but using the camera app to take the photo and then sharing it will save it to the sdcard.

also, whats the deal with the smart dialer? any chance of this working on other phones besides the nexus 5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Could be....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
the dialer? dont be teasing me. i would love to have that. im running the cm 11 snapshot, waiting on some exciting things
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Try the latest nightly. Some things have been fixed and CM features are being reintroduced. You'll probably be quite pleased with the progress.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
oh really? i havent been following the last few pages and the updates to them. didnt think or notice anything really missing. mind giving me a quick run down of what i might be missing. gonna start back reading the thread to try and catch up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Some of the customizations like battery mods, signal text, home button answers call are back. You can double tap the status bar to go to sleep. Duplicate sound entries have been removed. IIRC the dialer has been updated some and there's been some camera fixes plus a few other items, too.

For me battery life has been simply spectacular and stability is top notch. I clean flashed the first CM11 build around 12/11 and had to go back to CM10.2 for a couple days due to stability issues. I then clean flashed the 12/15 build and have dirty flashed since. Other than a couple minor items it has been buttery smooth since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CC268:
Front facing video camera freezes and doesn't work on Snapchat :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
awesome good to know. thanks for the quick update... my phone runs like a beast and battery life is great. Knock on wood i dont have a single complaint or bug from what i have noticed.

its been a long time i did dirty flashes on my gnex, you dont need to flash the gapps again right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Guess I spoke too soon. Just experienced a "ui freeze", lasted about 5-10 seconds. I don't like the stock Cyanmessage tone, so I have saved the one from CM10 and have been placing it in media/audio/notifications. I froze for a moment during the paste process.

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

Nope, I dirty flash cause it doesn't change my settings, overwrite apps, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
haha im just waiting for mine to bug out now that i said i dont have issues lol. maybe ill dirty flash a new nightly this week and see whats good
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
You should be fine. Out of the couple minor things I experience many have been there off and on since day one for the most part. Overall it improves with each nightly and the couple things that are left will get fixed. That's always been the way it is with CM. The only major for me is the compass/orientation sensor. IMHO, that fix will happen if/when Sammy releases the fix (driver?) for it. Speaking of which, I keep hearing about an official KK release for the GS4 on VZW.

Hmmmm

Is there a fix for the "disappearing dialer" in the works? I see "keep InCallUI in memory" parts 1, 2, and 3 in the next nightly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] towelboy:
I'm new to the vzw s4, can I install this rom using safestrap? I'm currently on 4.3 mk2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Unfortunately no you can't. AOSP ROMs can't be ran using Safe Strap
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] towelboy:
Darn. Is there any way to do this? Seems like a custom recovery is the only way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
As of now no. Its a issue with any firmware versions past MDK. It locks the device down. Unless someone finds some hidden trick it will mos likely stay that way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sherdog16:
Correct. If you have aspirations of running truely custom stuff I woulda get a different phone. That's the reason this'll be my last Sammy device. I love their hardware but can't deal with someone not letting me really buy the phone and do what I want with it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] odub303:
Can someone who is experiencing ui freezes go back to the M2 build and see if they happen on that build? There's a candidate for a root cause, and this would greatly help narrow it down. Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crossen0:
Verizon is the one who was locking it down, not Samsung. If you want to install custom firmware you should probably change carriers because Verizon is locking down their devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Schoat333:
This^ :good:

If you want to run custom ROM's going forward, you really need to ditch VZW so you can buy an unlockable Nexus or Google play edition of a phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
The nexus 5 is Supported on Verizon I thought. I hope so cause I was going to be getting one before long.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ahoslc:
No the Nexus 5 does not work on Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Well that sucks balls. I thought they would allow it but guess not. Did some reading a sure enough NOPE. God I hate Verizon. Ah. Well it'll be the last phone I have with them so it is what it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] odub303:
If you have an activated sim from another device, 3g, talk and text work, and band 4 LTE works. Band 4 is not active in many markets yet though, so you would have spotty LTE coverage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ITGuy11:
This is not true for me. If I put the sim card from my GS4 into my Nexus 5, I don't get squat, as in nothing works. Verizon's network won't let the Nexus 5 IMEI register.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
That's what I have found on the net. That Verizon won't let it register to their network. Bastards
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vanberge:
Keyboard selector notification option is back! Been waiting to uncheck that for awhile
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kench33:
I'm considering switching from RLS12 to a CM rom. What are the major issues on this, if any?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MustGoFast:
a lot of bluetooth items in the nightly expectation tonight... curious how that hits us!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rpitera:
Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but does this mean that if I'm running mdk with 4.4 and a custom recovery I should not flash the mk2 full modem package? Or am I misunderstanding?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
You're misunderstanding. The modem is fine, just don't do a full stock ROM "upgrade".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dmarden:
Really hoping one of those updates gives us back the AVRCP track info we had in 4.3.X.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
I thought I saw something in the commit notes about that. May be wrong.

Also battery life has been phenomenal on the last few builds. I do more on my device than anything else and I rarely have to put it on the charger throughout the day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] odub303:
Unfortunately, it doesn't. Sorry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
After taking a picture on portrait mode, when I go to upload the pic, the computer often has trouble with correct orientation. Specifically, when I upload a pic to my Weebly website, it always displays the pictures in landscape. After further reading, this is due to the camera software not properly writing this information to the photo. Anyone else run into this situation?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
That is because Big Red will not activate a device on their network that they did not sell.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] radpp16:
I made the switch from HD RLS12. The nightlies are surprisingly stable. I'm using 1/17/14.

I get a FC with camera sometimes. Some stutter with BT and pandora while driving, random. Very pleased.

Its my daily. Decided to flash a new nightly every 7 days since I do full wipe clean installs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blulite:
I'm having a problem getting the screen to turn on during a call. Anyone else? Running Jan 21 nightly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] radpp16:
I hope they don't break it. Minimal BT issues with 1/17/14.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Looks like we may be getting double tap to wake feature in tonights build. Saw something on twitter the checked the commits. Seems like it's in there. :)

---------- Post added at 04:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 AM ----------

Just read through again. Its in there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
It was only a matter of time after double tap to sleep. People have been asking for "slide to wake" since HTC introduced it a while back. This would be the "not using HTC's stuff" way to do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
I would love to see them implement the active display lime the moto x has. That would be freaking sweet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ahoslc:
Isn't double tap to wake a kernel thing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Not sure. When HTC brought slide-to-wake out no one else could do it because the kernel didn't support it, but IIRC it was more than the kernel that made it work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ahoslc:
So looks like the framework will be in place I'd be surprised if it works without kernel changes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Guess we will have to wait and see. If it doesn't I'm sure they will fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Same but running Jan 20 nightly :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
Yea i requested this fix for the 21 nightly and it's somewhat better. It's in the changelog. You just have to play around with the proximity sensor. Still pretty buggy

Edit: also, after the call ends, you have to turn the phone screen off and on again and there is still a delay.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
It it also possible to add in incognito mode into the stock browser?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] odub303:
This is not true. You need to find the right person in a store. You can get the LTE nexus 7 activated by activating a sim using the imei of a display device, and when the sim is inserted into the nexus 7 it will reassign to the new imei. There are multiple how tos on the net about this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blulite:
What do you man by play with proximity sensor? Is there a setting you are playing with or physically moving your finger around the sensor?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Well. I saw the settings and commits for it but somehow the double tap the sleep option isn't under display like it was shown it would be. Maybe they had a derp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ITGuy11:
Like I mentioned it doesn't work. I just tried again yesterday. I took my active Verizon SIM card out of my GS4 and placed it into the Nexus 5 nothing works, no data no voice nothing. The phone simply will not register on Verizon's network.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] odub303:
What you did and what I suggested doing in the post you quoted are not the same. I'm sorry you aren't having success, but many others have. Please do not take your experience and generalize from it. See the article linked below, as well as the comments:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/12/11/how-to-activate-a-nexus-7-on-verizon-wireless/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ITGuy11:
It is under Interface, Status Bar settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] asianrage:
What works on the Nexus7 will not be the case on the Nexus5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mjforte:
Yeah this is about the only issue I have with this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
My mistake. I meant to say double tap to wake.

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

Yeah were aren't talking about a nexus 7. Talking about a nexus 5. They're different devices and hence what works for on may not for the other. Let's get back on track. It was my fault for derailing the thread. My apologies
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] krypto1300:
Have you guys tried Ktoonz kernel to see if it fixes it or can be tweaked with Ktweaker? Just wondering cause I'm wanting to flash the 22nd nightly myself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I wonder what's different on mine. I don't have issues with screen on during calls.....

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

The only real oddball issue I have is BT audio breaks up sometimes on my Jabra earpiece.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] edif30:
When the dialer issue happens, does anyone notice if the sound of the phone is either delayed or gone? I've seen this on the S4 on every AOSP rom. I've noticed I lose sound randomly for no reason and only after I wake up the phone. Never during use. By sounds I mean touch, notifications, sound on videos, etc. I will also notice an extreme lag when dialing and sometimes a full freeze of the dialer app. Only fix is to reboot. I've also found that reducing the number of vibrates the phone makes lengthens the time the issue will present itself. On the 1/17 build I was able to get about 3 days until it happened. Then twice today it surfaced. Very difficult to know when it will take place so getting a log is almost impossible. Anyone experience this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I haven't noticed any difference in temperature, either. Pulled it off the charger about 30 minutes ago and it felt fairly cool (room temp maybe?).

I did notice after I set it up and restored everything it seemed to take longer than usual to charge and it was slightly warm. But, that was before switching to ART and before it settled down from initial setup/app restore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ups2525:
Ya sorry I cant help ya with that...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ikithme:
Anyone notice the choppy audio in ingress? It's the only app where it occurs as far as I can tell.

Edit: It also seems that some settings do not stick, for example under mobile network settings I changed it to LTE/CDMA/EvDo and rebooted, this option was set back to Global after reboot, also advanced reboot is unchecked but still functions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] papstar:
LTE toggle doors not work yet, correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Doesn't work for me either so I would have to say negative ghost rider. We have no LTE toggle action.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ups2525:
Tried ART, device went from normal to 'hot as hell' when rebooted and AnTuTu/Quadrant scores were 24,700's/8,000's. Cause of the high temps on ART I'm trying optimized dalvik/bionic patches, temps are completely normal and my AnTuTu/Quadrant scores 27,000's/10,000's are higher than Ive never seen before. FYI...I don't think these apps give any 'real world' #'s but I will use the apps to compare different setups or the scores achieved while using different features (for example scores with ART enabled compared to scores achieved from an optimized dalvik). So yes based on these #'s the optimized dalvik is the better option. Buut I don't know enough to know if what I'm looking at is everything that needs to be considered when making this decision...anybody care to chime in and comment...please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Seems like ART is not quite perfected yet. Based on what I've read its not ready for prime time. Probably the reason Google doesn't have it set by default.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Slash8915:
So far this is the most stable 4.4.1 ROM I've flashed. No issues I've seen yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
I haven't had the first problem out of ART. It is in fact, as far as I've noticed, a huge improvement. Battery life is the most noticeable as JIT is no longer necessary. Not having to translate everything through a VM not only speeds up the phone but saves battery. Now the difference is in your face right away, but over the course of the day you see it. The apps do open faster, but they already open pretty fast anyway so its as noticeable. What you do notice is that they don't slow down over a few days use.

From what I have observed, the earlier you enable ART the better things will be. That way when you install new apps they will be installed with ART and not converted. There are some apps that just don't work with ART, but they are mostly older. I have had a few apps not like the conversion from Dalvik to ART, but run fine if installed after ART is enabled.

These are just my findings and have no basis in reality! Seriously though, this is just my observation and my phone may act differently than others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djj624:
For what I use my phone for this is stable as hell. All I hope they add soon is working Google wallet..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] phonedawg:
Google Wallet is working. Get it from the play store. No one is going to add it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djj624:
It cane with the gapps I used pa gaps. I thought it was mentioned tap to pay wasn't working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Schoat333:
I just came across something strange. on the 12/7 nightly, I could select camera options with one touch, and the next option would open. On the 128 nightly, I have to hold my finger on the screen and slide if to the options or the menu disappears. Just a minor one, but kind of odd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
The "Hot as Hell" will go away after the first reboot. What I do is turn my phone off for about ten minutes after the conversion. Some people put the phone in the fridge during the conversion. After the first conversion you shouldnt have any heat issues. I also havent had any trouble with settings being saved. I am in the "ART is the future and your dumb if you dont use it" camp. I havent had the first problem related to ART and in fact only have seen great benifets from it. I have not tried Quadrent but will with the next build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Well today I'm going to run using ART and location set to device only. We will see how battery goes. I did notice yesterday the PayPal app had kept my device awake for a good part of the time. I disabled notification from it and that stopped. So today is battery run 2 with some changes LOL. I think I will see some good improvements.
