Manual installation of TWRP is quite easy. This is how I always update it:

From the TWRP official website...

Using adb shell or terminal emulator:

su

dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21

Make certain that you get this command right. Typing the wrong number could result in a brick!

...this assumes you have the new image downloaded from the TeamWin website and placed in the root directory on your internal storage, not the external sdcard.

Change the text in the dd command from "recoveryfilename.img" to the exact name of the image you've downloaded onto the internal sdcard.

Just need to verify upgrade path..

I am on Hyperdrive Rom 4.4.2, MDK baseband.. can i wipe and flash a 5.0 rom on this? will i need a new modem (NC5)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
Update to the latest TWRP for jfltevzw and you'll be good to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scrillakev:
Thank you everyone for the responses about upgrading TWRP via Flashify and/or manually, I just wanted to make sure I understood it correctly.

Another thing I need confirmation on is advance wiping the phone via TWRP. If you wipe the internal & external data you would still be able to boot into recovery to flash the ROM? (after you place the rom back onto the SD card) Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] flamadiddle:
Yes, recovery will still boot. You shouldn't need to wipe external data though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micro2112:
Thanks. Flashed fast, runs smooth. still getting apps set up..MMS isnt working but i see that's been discussed, i just need to read through the solutions.

Fixed by pushing APN settings from Evolve Messenger

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
It's just Google Messenger that isn't working.

Does hangouts work?

Yup. And every messenger not named Google Messenger.

Dan, noticed there some lag sometimes using the recent apps on-screen button, but doesn't seem to be present using the physical button.

Also noticed the on-screen back and home button have a double vibration when vibrations are turned on; recent apps vibrates normally.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
MMS...

NOTE: After doing this, MMS using Textra no longer works!

Messenger still works though.

I even tried changing the settings back. I had to restore from a backup.

_________________________________

Just because it bugs me I have been trying to get the Google MMS app to work on this ROM.

I actually use Textra and like it much better but I wanted to get it working.

I was snooping around in the cm forum and found this (see pic).

I decided to give it another shot and after making these changes I rebooted, reinstalled messenger and it works.

I did have to go to settings/more/Cellular Networks... Then after there pulled down the notifications and turn on Airplane Mode to access the APN settings.

From the pic, it looks like it was posted originally by T3T3droid.

The only thing that was different was the MMS port was blank and the APN type was different.

I'm having issues tonight with hangouts video chat, picture is working but apparently voice is coming across just a jumbled mess.

Also normal phone calls made from the favorites lost end up with some Verizon prompt about feature upgraded failed... anyone else have that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scrillakev:
Did you try connecting to LTE or WiFi & vice versa then make the video call again?

I had this issue on the 4.4.2 ROM a while back where people sounded like robots.. But once I was on the 4.4.4 ROM it was fine. Is the other person using an older version of hangouts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micro2112:
I tried wifi 2.4ghz and 5, and LTE. Rebooted phone, tried all 3 again.. even tried skype, same thing.. something about video calls is making it sounds distorted. Normal phone calls sound fine (unless i dial from favs as i mentioned)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] flamadiddle:
Did you make any tweaks to your CPU settings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micro2112:
None. I might just flash again tonight and see what happens
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] flamadiddle:
You might want to try a different governor (maybe set to "performance" while video chatting). SetCPU can change CPU profiles based on which app is in the foreground. I've had no problems with the "Interactive" governor.

Also, disabling the Android logger might help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micro2112:
Suggested changes have been made. I will update with results once the mrs is free to video chat.

Received above in PM. I DID turn on Google Now voice anywhere yesterday.. I will test this option as well. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amoeller:
I don’t know if this is just me but I am having very poor performance with WiFi secured with PEAP-MS-CHAP v2. I know enterprise WiFi had issues connecting on 5.0 but was fixed on 5.0.1. My phone does successfully connect to enterprise WiFi but the speed is unacceptably slow. My home router with WPA2 AES works just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] glicholas:
Disabling 'OK Google' from any screen should resolve your voice issue. This is a known issue unrelated to this ROM. If you search 'Android chipmunk voice' you should see some people with the same problem. This was happening to me and affected hangouts as well as Skype. Disabling 'OK Google' from any screen should resolve it. It is unrelated to CPU governors or frequencies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micro2112:
Thank you for confirming that. I have turned anywhere search off and will test tonight.

As always, these forums know all answers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micro2112:
Officially tested and confirmed. Audio is fixed in hangouts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
If you want to test something out I've made a flashable patch. I won't call it a fix because it's not the apns that are broken. This is more of an apn hack to get Google Messenger MMSing. There's also a couple of network mods included as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
Im sticking with Textra.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
Actually, I am so pleased with the way this ROM works that I'm leaving it alone.

Textra is so much better than messenger that I'm good to go.

Thanks for doing this though, hopefully it will work for those that want to use messenger.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] flamadiddle:
A quick question for those of you who don't use Hangouts for SMS/MMS: Why don't you? The only reason I can think of is that someone might not like Google involved in anything, but then the choice of phone (and ROM) in this instance is puzzling. Just curious. Maybe there's something great about the others that I'm missing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
Likewise. Had no issues sending pic messages with it, so i cant say i see a point in messing with it personally.

Hey [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] could you please provide links to the final 4.4.4 build in the OP. It was a fantastic rom and 4.4 is still amazing. I would love to do a clean install of your final nexus edition for verizon but I can't find it anywhere on AFH.

I am referring to the build mentioned in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55765418&postcount=3505

Also, if anyone else has any idea where to get this zip, please let me know, thanks.

Disappointed in the last couple updates.. Seems this ROM wen from stable pure google to a cocktale of unstable mods and experiments. Force closes and not able to receive pix. I still have faith.. Been running this rom for ever..

Not sure what you're talking about. Only thing I've had is the hardware buttons off setting doesn't always stick. Everything else smooth and awesome.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nintengod:
Love the ROM but can't seem to get mobile data to work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sauravdn:
might be apn related, try changing apn if from different carrier
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nintengod:
I've tried to change the APNs and it still won't connect to mobile data unless I have the Sim card inserted into the sim slot, my S4 is flashed to boost mobile.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Make sure wifi disabled. Then go into Settings/more/mobile networks. Make sure you have VZW internet enabled under Apn's and LTE/CDMA/EVDo enables under network. Then reeboot!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nintengod:
I'm not on Verizon I'm on boost mobile, should I do the same thing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

Resetting the apn, netwwork and reebooting is key. Look on p 10 of the. Q & A section for more details. Let us know if it works for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
Running the latest release as my daily driver. Rock solid operation and Vz reception. Very minor issues at worst.

Great work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
No issues here, this ROM is as stable as anything I have ran. I have had zero force closes and if you want stable MMS, use Textra.

Google messenger is a known issue with lollipop and not specific to this ROM.

Do you have any mods installed?

Did you do a clean install?

What carrier are you on?

Just coming in here and complaining without giving any details doesn't do anybody any good.

The only issue I have is being able to dial out using Google Voice. The dialer doesn't seem compatible. I have no issues with CM12 so hopefully this will be fixed soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wcouri:
Messenger MMS worked on all builds prior to 1/28. I noticed this right away after a clean flash of 1/28. Not a big deal since there are workarounds but I definitely think the past builds have been a bit more stable. Sometimes I can't make calls either and have to reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawner47:
I've been running this ROM for a little over a week now and love it. Thanks to all involved in getting it out for us! The only minor issues I have found are that when using GPS and some action occurs, GPS can freeze. This happened twice on an 11 hour drive from Pittsburgh to Milwaukee and is very possibly my own error that caused it. The other is that when using OK Google to make a call, it doesn't dial, just opens the dialer and waits for me to hit the call button. Neither of those is by any means a deal breaker, especially when one of them could be my own fault. I will continue to run the heck out of this baby. My S4 is the envy of all right now. Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skitals:
I'm running 1/28 build, and I can't get Verizon LTE to work properly. It has been fine in all previous builds.

When I have network type set to "CDMA+LTE/EVDO" I only get 3G, and the carrier name says "EMPTY" on the lock screen and quick settings. When I go to APNs, I get "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user"

I've tried going to CDMA only and changing APN settings, but it doesn't make a difference. Strangely when I put the phone in LTE/GSM/WCDMA mode LTE works, but I get "No Service" for carrier name instead of "EMPTY"

I tried various modems. I tried hot flashing the rom again (over what was a clean install/full wipe). NOTHING is working! Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Uh, if anything, this rom is MORE stable than any of the 4.4.4 builds. No force closes and no three vibrations. I'm not having one issue on this rom that isn't just 5.0.1 bugginess or newness stuff, so your setup must be to blame for your issues. This is not quite as smooth/optimized as 4.4.4, but that isn't the rom's fault, just 5.0.1 newness.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Sounds like you did everything correctly. Do you turn WiFi off and reeboot after you set the network type to LTECDMA/EVDO?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skitals:
Yes. I noticed even when in CDMA/EvDo only mode, the network carrier is still "EMPTY" and the network tile in the quick settings shows 3G and what looks like a sim card with a line through it. Same with LTE/CDMA/EvDo. Voice and 3G data works fine. AFAIK there is nothing wrong with my SIM, this rom has been great up until the 1/28 build. I've been trying to hold off flashing a different build, in hopes a new build with a fix comes out soon. But from what I'm seeing, I think I'm the only one with this problem :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Try turning Airplane mode on and off with network type set to LTE/CDMA/EVDO. After 4g or Lte show up reeboot.

Others had this issue and fixed like above. See q&a
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skitals:
Rebooting my phone for the 100th time, I noticed something interesting. After it boot to the lock screen, for a split second it said "Verizon Wireless" when the radio connected, then changed to "EMPTY". The signal meter also changed to the icon with a "!" for a minute before it locks in 3G.

I'm thinking it must be related to the "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user" message. Does EMPTY = No APN?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Are you on the latest stock modem FNK1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skitals:
Just tried this, and same as above. When it first hits the lock screen it says "No SIM Card" for a split second, then nothing for a couple seconds, then it flashes "Verizon Wireless" for a split second when the limited "!" icon pops up, and quickly switches to "EMPTY"

I've tried everything I could find in this thread. All the other APN issues seem related to MMS. I haven't read anyone else getting 3G only. Thanks for your help! :good:

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

I started off on retail NK1. I tried flashing back to stock MDK + NON-HLOS. No difference. I'm now on dev NC5, again no difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:

No, nothing ever came out of it. We were trying to replicate a dev here who was claiming he was able to downgrade to MDK with a riff jtag. Of course when we start asking questions he disappears. Turns out he got locked up and was in prison for a nice sentence. I'm pretty sure he was just a lying #$% and wasted a lot of peoples time. He hasn't been active since then, I believe he is still enjoying his prison stay. I take take that back... he is back and still a Recognized Dev here.

It is an app included with the rom, not the system update menu. Look in your app drawer for OTA.

Lollerpop 2/10 build CM 12 based: 4G works, everything works the way it should.
