[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
Just to join the reporting - on the stock kernel, i had a reboot today, not sure what triggered it. Phone was sitting idle, i look over and see it reboot. Hasn't had any other odd behavior, and i haven't seen it since.

Not a serious issue, but just thought i would log it at least.

I just noticed a glitch on latest 2-10-2015 version. When onscreen buttons are enabled, but set to 0,( to get the menu dots while using menu hardware button as back button) the onscreen buttons will appear when i rotate my phone to landscape mode. Is this what everyone else is seeing? Is this intentional? Not a big issue though. I love this ROM and its running way smooth! No other issues so far.

It's for real. If you look a few posts back in history you'll find the release.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] qs504792:
yeah the issues might be on my side. the update before this i couldn't make calls out or receive them sometimes unless i restarted my phone. my issues answering the calls were do to the call notification while i was using the phone.

Now on this update i thought all was well until i received some pix msges and couldn't download them even after fixing permissions and restart. And only once i had an issue where i would answer the call and no audio would go through or come in from the caller.. a restart fixed this. i am on Verizon and yes i always clean install. i guess you can call it complaining. im just disappointed because i have been following this google edition for quite sometime and have tried many different roms and have always came back to this. I might try to re flash tonight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wcouri:
I am having the same audio issue with calls and I have clean flashed twice, trying each kernel. Definitely a deal breaker for me. I can send texts and mms just fine but have to reboot usually to make or receive calls. I am on the latest modem too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
I'm on Verizon MDK bootloader and I have tried all of the different radios. My phone seems to work best for me on the MK2 radio.

I've been running this ROM for the last 3 builds with none of those issues.

I doubt the radio has anything to do with it but you never know.

I hope you guys that are having this issue get it figured out because this ROM really is awesome!

sent from a Galaxy S4 far far away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wcouri:
I've been using this since day 1 and just recently started having issues. Everyone's phone reacts differently so I can't really blame it on the ROM. Definitely thankful to even have this on our phones.

I've been doing a bunch of searching and can't seem to get a straight answer. I have the Verizon NC5 S4. I had to return it to stock so that's where it is right now. Is there any way to get this ROM on to an NC5? Or is SafeStrap the only root method for NC5. If there is a way, can someone point me to the rooting method to do to be able to install this? :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbradley07:
The ROM only works with S4s with the MDK bootloader. Anything after that, the bootloader is locked. Even returning to stock won't get you there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
I installed the kernel that you provided. Under "About Phone" I see the following

I was surprised to see Dec 5, 2014 as the date for the kernel . Is that the latest stock kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
That's the one from the 2/10 build at your request.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reebz:
Just an observation here. I'm on the 2/10 update and I tried to send some MMS messages last night using Textra, but they wouldn't go through. I was trying to send them to a cell phone number XXXXXXX format, as opposed to a contact name. Once I created a contact with the person's name, and number (XXX)XXX-XXXX format, the MMS was successful. Like I said, just an observation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MattBooth:
This is not a bug.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
So a change from how it previously was? Is it related to

Removed hidden battery init.d hack - new battery methods work properly now

in the changelog?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MattBooth:
Previously it didn't work fully as intended. Think about, if you dont have the number on the outside when charging, how will you know how far gone it is? The inside has the charging animation.

The battery hack was a problem with the hidden battery not sticking. It had an init.d hack to make it stick. WE fixed that, so the hack is not longer needed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
I guess that does make sense when you think about it; great work!

Installing and Troubleshooting the latest version of GE 4.4.4 (09/30/14)

ATTN anyone trying to find and install the latest 4.4.4 base version of this GE ROM.

Sorry to interrupt this thread temporarily to backpedal, but I figured I'd try to help out anyone who was in a similar position looking for 4.4.4. I personally am using it because I use Xposed Framework for lots of stuff and so I need a ROM that still is using dalvik instead of ART.

As best I can gather, the latest update before moving to lollipop base (and ART) was released on 09/30/14 and can be found here http://d-h.st/users/danvdh or here https://romhut.com/roms/danvdh-googleedition (if you use the romhut link, it's the one incorrectly named "Danvdh-GE-4.4.4-08302014" - you can see by the upload date that it's actually the 09302014 release).

Here are some of the bugs and resolutions for this version:

Bug 1)

Some people were experiencing the vibrations that are typically associated with a force close, however there was no notification accompanying the force close.

Resolution 1)

No real resolution. Some people suspected that it was caused by either Xposed Framework or the Gravity Box module.

Bug 2)

Some people were having issues getting GPS to work.

Resolution 2)

Install a Touchwiz based ROM (like the stock ROM for example), download Google Maps, Turn on Navigation, wait for an accurate GPS fix, reboot to recovery with the maps app still open, wipe and then reflash this ROM.

Bug 3)

Some people were having issues with upload speeds being nonexistent and MMS not sending.

Resolution 3)

It was an APN issue fixed using the process described in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57206389&postcount=3845

Bug 4)

Lots of people were having issues with the compass reversing East and West.

Resolution 4)

Flash the ktoonsez kernel (it's the Google Edition KITKAT 4.4 VERSION: 07.12.2014 found in this thread): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2294083 I would assume this requires a flash of the loki doki zip afterwards (FYI, for those of you on lollipop, this kernel hasn't been updated for you yet)

Bug 5)

Having trouble installing this ROM using CWM recovery

Resolution 5)

Use TWRP instead (probably best to pick a version from right around 09/30/14 to insure compatibility)

A general tip:

I *think* you need to flash the loki doki zip after flashing this ROM, after flashing a kernel, after flashing a custom recovery, and possibly after flashing modem/radios.

PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'VE PROVIDED ANY MISINFORMATION. I'VE JUST DONE A BUNCH OF READING RECENTLY SO I THOUGHT I'D TRY TO SAVE SOMEONE ELSE SOME TIME

I get extremely minimal stuttering on stock kernel, like one skip during an entire listening session. Since everything else runs great stock, I'm not bothered by that. Someone did post how to set up the googy kernel to prevent this. It's intelliactive governor; i/o was fiops/2048 fiops/2048; and turn off logging.

I'm wondering if you are connecting through a network extender, maybe even without knowing it. I get this behavior when flashing with my network extender on. I turn it off. Switching network to wcdma and then looking at apns will make them visible. Switch back to lte/evdo after selecting correct apn.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
Yes it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amoeller:
I made a comment before about enterprise secured networks using PEAP having poor performance but I have recently discovered that it had nothing to do with the phone. I found that it was caused by too many people using the network I was on causing the slowdown.

One thing that occasionally happens is the Google App will force close randomly. I’m using the Google Now Launcher so it causes the launcher to also crash. Luckily I can press OK and the app just restarts. This is the only issue I have been having and I’ve seen this particular issue happen on Nexus devices running Lollipop. If anyone has insight on this problem or even a fix, that would be much appreciated.

I may have just answered my own question after reading this. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/websearch/android/pzRbXx4sBsk

Why would Xposed not be included in future updates?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scrillakev:
I think a while ago they took it out on the 4.4.x ROM's because they wanted a cleaner build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
Probably because it is still in alpha stage and most things don't work with it, so all troubleshooting would need to be with Xposed and not this ROM.

Does this ever happen to anyone? See pic of lockscreen misalignment. Happens to me sometimes after dismussing/snoozing an alarm; once after a call ended. Will go back to normal after unlocking phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
What happened?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
As you can see, the lock screen slides down. Still works the same way, except that top bar doesn't react to touches. I can still slide up to unlock, and it will be normal after that. But when I dismiss/snooze an alarm(AlarmPad), that is the Lockscreen it opens to more times than not. And once after ending a call it went to this Lockscreen. Not the biggest deal, but wondering if anyone else ever saw this. On 2/10 build(and luvin' it).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
News to me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Could be related to AlarmPad and not the rom; I'm trying to pinpoint it. That's why I was asking if I'm alone. Never happened before 2/10 though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkim204:
Dan I really appreciate the Rom...

But no instructions ?! Come on man.....

If you search this thread for safestrap, you should find plenty of posts stating that its only compatible on MDK.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shaftamle:
Come on man? It might not say MDK only in big bold letters but if you been following the i545 you know there are 2 options. Mdk or safestrap. So nc 1,2 and 5 don't work. There is nothing in the op that says Safestrap so you can safely assume its not for ss.

In the future, instead of bricking you phone to find your answer, try searching the thread for the words safe strap. You would have found the answer to your question in post #9

Ok... So I'm kinda phucked right now because the phone is soft bricked and odin stock recovery is showing nc5...

So do I have to install nc5 then downgrade to mdk and then install this rom through goo manager?

What does it exactly mean for you to loki it? Doesn't it mean the same thing as unlocking the bootloader ?

---------- Post added at 02:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 AM ----------

Sorry... Still a noobie.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shaftamle:
First rule of flashing is read, backup, read and read again. I don't know how to fix a soft brck on that firmware however there is plenty of info for that in the vzw s4 android development section. However, you can't downgrade to mdk no matter what you do. Loki is a work around that gives MDK phones only the ability to install a custom recovery. For you, safestrap is your only option.

Bottom line, if you are not on MDK than only flash TW Roms in SS. You can't downgrade to MDK. If you want it, sell your phone and buy an MDK S4 on Swappa, eBay or.Amazon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkim204:
OK So what did I do wrong now... I flashed this thru safestrap and the stock recovery comes on... I selected all the files that I was gonna install (esfiles, google wallet, and etc) and when It reboots it reboots to stock recovery..

What are the exact steps on how to do this on nc2 ?

Edit: I did back up the files this time tho but it's no use since I don't have safe strap anymore because it's unbootable. If anyone has an md5 file of safestrap for nc5 I'd gladly appreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shaftamle:
Did you read any of the responses that anyone wrote to you? What you did wrong was flash an MDK ROM thru safe strap. You can't do it, I will not work, it cant be done. You CANT use this ROM on any phone that is not on MDK firmware. You need to be more careful, next time it could be a hard brick. Go to the question and answer section for the vzw s4. You can find anything you need to know there. This thread is oor the GPE 5.0 ROM, which you can't use on your phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
If you aren't running the “day 1 build" of this phone, you can't use this rom. Also, you cannot revert to a pervious build unfortunately. Loki'd (in the case of this phone) refers to obtain root without unlocking the bootloader (someone can correct me if I'm wrong). Again if you aren't on the mdk (day 1 build) you can't use this rom. You're going to have to go back to your build before you did all of this. From there, you can just use the phone as is. If you're willing to mess around with your phone, then that's where safestrap comes in. However, that only allows you to use TouchWiz based roms.

That I'm not sure of, I've been on this ROM for months and Hyperdrive before that. I haven't tried any of the CM ROMs. Someone else will have to impart their knowledge when it comes to answering that question.

You could use batch mode to restore. Or do all of the non-system apps first.

I've restored data on Nova so many times I can't count on this rom. All of my restores work normally 99% of the time on this rom. Titanium has been no different for me than it's ever been.

We've all been new to this at one time, even if it was a long time ago. Don't be the old Man yelling at the kids to get the f@#$$% off you lawn.

Unless you have an MDK build you can't use TWERP or CWM. You can't change kernels so you can't use any ROMs unless they specifically say you can use safestrap. These ROMs usually have TW in their title for Touchwiz. Although there are some TW ROMs that you can't use if they don't say Safestrap.

I haven't used Titanium in literally over a year. Nova has a backup/restore feature, so does the email I use(Enhanced Email), and GMail repopulates automatically. So I have to sign in to Dropbox, Copy, Facebook, Twitter, and Tapatalk? Done in 5 minutes and I've never had a force close because something wasn't compatible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Everyone uses their phone differently. Personally, I use TiBu for games that don't save to their own servers, SMS (via xml), and certain apps that I like not having to reset preferences. The whole flashing experience for me takes about 30-45 mins including app installs. Not a bad process, but like I said, everyone has their own methods.
