I don't think I need to update either. I think the app thinks it needs it. Doesn't happen on every reboot, but some. I'll try clearing cache/data.

So, some more observations: having tested the new lollipop against my wife's 4.4.4, I hate to say that every single app took longer to open on lollipop. Every single one. So I have yet to see this performance increase that ART promised.

LP benches better then KK and has much better battery life, also it requires almost no porting to VZW, it's just an all around better firmware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
The first time opening apps was slow for me. After that they open instantly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
The first time was slower on both, then faster after. The first time was always faster on 4.4.4, then they were both instantaneous after that. But if the app leaves the active memory, it seems to be faster on 4.4.4. Of course, too soon to make any conclusions about anything. Just first impressions.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
The second link you posted is what worked for me (4073; just an fyi people). The first link gave me endless force closes, which led to the revision. For the wipe steps, I did that 5 times since I was being paranoid lol. But the phone booted up for me in less than 5 mins. Are you using the latest TWRP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
I wouldn't get too complicated with the steps. It's basically the same steps it's always been. Wipe/flash rom/flash loki. Did you verify md sums to make sure downloads were good? Are you flashing the correct files(there are old files that sound similar to new ones)? Everything flashed should be a new file. What's your modem? I flashed it twice and nandroided back and forth since then, all without incident.

Wifi and MMS problems

Hey guys, loving the ROM but I was wondering if anyone else was having these 2 bugs and if there is a quick resolution for either.

1. MMS doesn't work in stock app (I saw post about textra app but was wondering if there was any way to get stock functioning)

2. I cannot connect to any WiFi networks. It scans and sees all available networks, but when I type the password, 'Connect' never becomes available to select (Still grayed out)

I installed the NK1 Modem to make sure it wasn't that causing the issue (still not able to connect to WiFi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdfrye:
Not having these issues but I do use hangouts and haven't tried mms on that since I'm on my DROID turbo now and cut my sim . Will be listing my S4 running this ROM soon on swappa. Wish i could help.

P. S. This ROM has saved this phone for me! Was super hard to put it down and go to the turbo especially since it is running lollipop before turbo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bieberhole69:
yeah I was on an older version of twrp, now im trying to find a way to update it.

looks like you have to use twrp v2.7+ ( I was on 2.5 and it didn't work)

Edit: updated to 2.8.3, reflashed the rom.

At the rotating balls currently.

Booted successfully! letting it rest then ill set it up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
Download ""flashify" from play store. You can update it there. 2.8.3.0 is the latest I believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] freakyguy88:

Pics to SD

Is there another way to do Pics to SD without Xposed with Google Camera?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] krypto1300:
Not with Google Camera as far as I know. I used to use Camera Zoom and some other 3rd party cameras that could save to extSD, but now a days I just delete the pics in DCIM as soon as they get backed up to Google Photos.

Google Photos Auto Backup is awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gosimer4:

Great job on this lollipop rom! Things are running nicely so far but I believe I have found two bugs. The AOSP Gallery and the Photos app both don’t actually delete pictures from the external sd but the Snap Gallery included with Snap Camera HDR deletes just fine. Also ringtones and notification sounds stored on the external sd don't stick on reboot but if I move them to the internal storage they stick on reboot.

Ok, can anyone provide me a GPS fix. I actually got lost earlier today and had to pull into a gas station to get back on track. I kept on trying to get a gps lock on my location. 50% of the time it found me. The other 50% it just hovered around. The 50% that it did locate me and I set my destination, it says "GPS signal lost" within a min. Did all of this while driving...

Edit: I fixed it. Flashed back to my nandroid backup and obtained a GPS lock while Google Maps was open. Did a test drive with this ROM and Google Maps and turn-by-turn navigation worked.

Noob question. I have a friends Verizon S4. Got it rooted and did a Nandroid back up of his stock OS for him. Can I install this GPE Rom regardless of the build number on the phone or does it require a particular build to work successfully? Thanks in advance :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
The latest Google Play Services also stop the FC problems for me.

You need to be on MDK bootloader with a full unlock (no Safestrap) to use this ROM. If you meet those requirements, then it doesn't matter what ROM you are currently running. Radio is also irrelevant as the experience seems to vary per user (I use the Dev NC5 myself with good results).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] soma4society:
Thanks cambunch. So if the "security software version's" first few letters are MDF he's SOL then, huh? Argh...Verizon (or Samsung, whoever).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
If your friend had MDF then yes he would be... However, that's not a valid Verizon S4 baseband. The VZW basebands are as follows:

MDK

ME7

ML1

MJ7

MK2

NC2

NC5

NG6

NK1

and MDK (I545VRUAMDK) is the one to have.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] igorneumann:
Backup and give it a try.

If is the same phone version (i9505 / i546, etc) it should work.

I even installed an ATT (9505) rom in my VZW (545) and worked perfectly (GSM network) but would't install until I manually changed the phone version in a file inside the zip. (from jflteatt to jfltevzw.)

Use the an updated recovery, make a backup and give it a try. Any problem you can just restore it or try to change the baseband/modem (fine with nc5 here)

Googy_anas just released a new GE5 kernel today that now has a built in loki script so we no longer need to use Danvdh’s loki patch zip anymore. I just installed Googy’s new kernel successfully so now the process to flash would be flash Danvdh-GPE-5-12242014.zip then GoogyMax3_GE5-Kernel_1.2.5_CWM.zip or a future released kernel.

So anyone thats running it tell me if it is reasonably functional enough to be a daily driver? Right now I'm running the latest SlimKat.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] krypto1300:
Definitely a daily driver. I've flashed it on both mine and the Wife's. She loves it too. Only issue I've come across is not being able to stream Google Play Movies. This seems to be a Lollipop issue though, as I've seen it mentioned in Nexus forums. Downloading the movie works though.

It's a GREAT ROM! Has made keeping my MDK S4's a no brainer.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
No prob, but these slightly revised steps worked for me (post #4073)

Boot into TWRP

Wipe cache, dalvik, data & system

Install: ROM, lokipatch (lokipatch-danvdh-12242014), and the latest modem (optional) to flash (since TWRP allows you "add more zips")

Wipe cache & dalvik

Reboot system

Let the ROM "marinate" for ~15mins

Reboot system (not sure if necessary, but I do so anyways)

Settings, More, Cellular Networks, Preferred Network Type = CDMA+LTE/EVDO

Sent from my Verizon Galaxy S4 (running Danvdh's 5.0 GPE ROM)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
I didnt have to installed since playstore was already on my homescreen. I installed the modem.zip after a reboot after 1st flashing the ROM + lokipatch.

Definitely daily driver material. But my testing shows 5.0 still needs to be optimized to match the performance of 4.4.4. Which is not surprising, really. I would expect the seasoned OS to perform better than the initial release of the new OS. Not to mention, Jelly Bean and Kit Kat were more like updated(better optimized) versions of Ice Cream Sandwich, whereas Lollipop is more of a paradigm shift in OS.

Bluetooth

I have been running this for a few days now. It works great. Bluetooth seems to not like disconnecting from my cars though. When I drive to work it connects to my car fine but then the phone spends all day showing the Bluetooth icon connected to the car. It does it with both my cars, one has an aftermarket Bluetooth setup and one has the factory Bluetooth. Also does anyone know the correlation between BLE and 5.0?
