This worked for me. Appreciate it heath!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
I use the app but am not experiencing that type of drain. Using push to receive emails as soon as they are sent. Maybe clear cache?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
I had the same issue using stock kernel. Couldn't stand it, so flashed back to Dan's 4.4.4 GPE. Gave the 3-15 update another try with googlies kernel and is now working well (knock on wood). The only tweaks I made were to turn off "gentle flair sleepers" and switch to the intellidemand governor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
The clear all disappears after a day or two. Going to try one more full wipe and flash this week.

Breaks..

For some reason when I try to use SafeStrap and flash it the rom breaks the phone. I am using SCH-i545 and currently on NC5 build right now. Is there any way to fix this or is there a different recovery method for it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JettMartinez:
I bet there's at least 100 posts in this thread (including the first one most likely) that tell you that this ROM is not compatible with safestrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
this ROM does not work with locked bootloaders. it is only for the mdk bootloader, which you can flash twrp on through the Loki exploit

GPS?

Is there a fix for lollipop GPS issue? I have searched this thread and don't see anything about a fix. My issue is that I get a fast lock if I am at a location. But if I am on the move, it will not lock ever. I use GPS a lot everyday and need this. I have read that it is an issue will lollipop in general. Was just hoping someone figured out a fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shaftamle:
I agree, it is mentioned hundreds of time in the thread. But oddly enough, there is STILL no mention of it in the original thread. This is something that could definitely be searched for and most of us know already. But there are still some that are either new or don't read. Either way, it should be listed on the OP.

Sent from a Shaftamle Galaxy S4

"Thanks Button" is always appreciated!

Noticed there was an update today. Question: are the new addons meant to simply be flashed in recovery after installing the rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lSUPERFLYl:
Not that I know of.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
So you know what I'm talking about? If I'm wrong, what would you do with them?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ribenabob:
i did a clean install of the new update today. i flashed the dark settings, dark caller, and cm music in recovery after installing the rom. each had it's own little aroma installer. everything seems to be working fine.

it was a little bit more cumbersome to dl/flash a bunch of separate files, but cest la vie.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fivejuantwo:
I see there is a new update, however I have not seen an update to this thread since 3/3/2015. Does anyone know what is in the 2 newest releases?

Galleries addon not working

Tried to flash the galleries add on and noticed that it said "installing music" during the process. Neither of the galleries install correctly.

Addons that I installed and worked correctly:

AdAway

Cameras - OPO camera

Dark Settings

CyanogenMod Launcher - Trebuchet

Cyanogen Music - Eleven

Will pass this on and update the thread tomorrow
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheSt33v:
I've been using this rom since its KitKat days, and I occasionally run into GPS issues between flashes. I've solved them using this fix. I have no idea why it works, but it does for me:

1. Full Wipe

2. Flash a TW-Based rom (I've used both Hyperdrive and stock with success).

3. Use GPS Test (or any other app that will ensure you have a GPS lock) and get a GPS lock.

4. Full Wipe

5. Install your rom of choice.

Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sebby d:
I have tried this with hyperdrive and also with cm12 because I read cm works. When I go back to gpe, I get a location fix pretty quickly but not while driving. It won't update my location or is off by about 1/4 mile or more. That is the only reason why I can't use this rom as my daily. I rely on the navigation everyday for work. Any ideas about this? Also when I try GPS testing app, I never get any satellites connected. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

Would gpe modem help? I have not installed a new modem yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheSt33v:
"When I go back to gpe, I get a location fix pretty quickly but not while driving. It won't update my location or is off by about 1/4 mile or more." This indicates to me that your phone is not getting location info from the GPS. It's only getting location info from the cell towers that you're connected to. Does the GPS test app "see" satellites but refuse to lock on, or does it not see any satellites? When you went back to Hyperdrive and/or CM12, did you confirm with the GPS test app that you got a GPS lock? Navigation apps like Google Maps will tell you that it has a location lock even if that lock is only coming from your cell towers and/or wifi connection. You have to use the GPS testing app to confirm that the GPS itself is providing that lock.

As for the modem, I've been using the NK1 modem for a while. I've used the latest dev edition modem in the past as well. Both work fine for me. I imagine that a different kernel would have more effect on GPS behavior than a different modem (since the modem is preserved when you go between roms), but that's based only on my limited understanding of both.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sebby d:
On hyperdrive right now and GPS test confirms I have lock and that I am using 12 out of 19 satellites. I will most likely install gpe tonight and see if I get a lock with the app. I know my compass was going crazy too when I tried gpe. It would be pointing West when it should have been North. Could this mean something? As for kernel, I believe I was using Googlies. Which kernel do you use?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sebby d:
Gps

Reinstalled this rom. Again I was showing no satellites being used. I flashed kernel cleaning script and now I show using 8 satellites and a good GPS lock. I am going to try using navigation later today. Hopefully it works because I like this rom a lot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sebby d:
Success!!! Thanks for your help. It appears running the kernel cleaner script helped out. Just used navigation with no problems at all. And GPS test showed lock on 10 satellites. Thanks for all your help on this. Can actually use this rom as my daily now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheSt33v:
Awesome! Glad I could help. The compass thing is a whole different problem that a lot of people have. I've never looked into fixing it, but I've seen posts floating around that suggest possible fixes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Kernel cleaning script? What is this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sebby d:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2492144

It basically complete clears your phone of anything related to the kernel. Flash it before flashing a new kernel so you don't have any residual data left over from the previous kernel. I always use it when changing kernels, but never thought about using it on a fresh install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
So how does the new gallery work? Photos force closes when I open it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sebby d:
I use quickpic from play store. I like it better than any other gallery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheBadBen:
Anyone else using the Cyanogenmod Browser with 4-19 and having a problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Thanks. I tried the Cyanogenmod gallery...beautiful app, but performs like crap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
So, can't set reminders on Google Now from the latest build. I assume something is missing.

Update: reflashed 3/15 and reminders work fine right out the box. On 4/19, you get a message that phone couldn't connect to Google whenever you try to set a reminder.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] parrotheadmjb:
Is it just me.. Or does the AOSP calculator crash for everyone else too? Its not just this release, but the past few, its not everytime I use but seems to happen quite frequently.. Try for example: .485*24*24*24 then hit the = button

Immediate FC, guarantee it. And yes I do a clean flash every time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
See next post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
I stand corrected. Didn't notice the decimal point in your problem. Mine did crash when I tried your problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lecapitan:
I am having trouble getting 4g to work. I believe I have the MDK modem (baseband: I545VRUAMDK). I am on Verizon in the U.S. Do I need to update the modem?

Alright, so, I believe LTE/CDMA/EvDo is the correct setting for Verizon. With that setting, I can send SMS, but I only get 3g. If I change the setting to LTE/GSM/WCDMA, I get 4g, but SMS messages do not send.

FOR ANYONE ON VERIZON USING THIS ROM:

Do not use *228. It will ruin your SIM.

I got a new SIM and everything is working great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jeromeh:
I installed the latest version yesterday and the hulk kernel. However now I am having issues getting lightflow to work correctly. Every notification light shows as white. It worked perfectly with the January 2 build. Can anyone help me?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lecapitan:
Skitals, did you ever figure this out?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I tried to get this going on my phone and ended uo using odhin to restore factory img and now when I try mottochopper it says success but when I hit super user says binaries are not loaded. Tried redoing same result. Any ideas? Need to het root back so I can flash clean. Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ribenabob:
after odining back to stock(MDK only, if you were on a different version odin back to that, but you are out of luck for this rom) just use towelroot to gain root. flashify to install twrp. easy peasy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I don't want to use SS or any of that especially since i am on MDK. If i was ME7 or later i would. I am going to flash a different SU that should have the binaries and just replace it in mottochopper. Hopefully
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ribenabob:
towelroot works on mdk. easiest way imo to get root. ive done it more than once after odining back to stock. but if you want to use the old motochopper method knock yourself out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lecapitan:
It seems like a problem with my SIM card. I put my friends SIM in and it worked just fine. I am going to go get a new SIM and see if that fixes it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Sorry for my ignorance about that method is all i have done is the motochopper way. If i use towelroot like your saying will i still keep my MDK base? I just don't ever want to have to use safe strap.

Thanks for your help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Trust me, nobody in this thread would ever recommend something that would cause you to lose your MDK bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Thanks :) already rooted again trying to think of which rom to choose. Just came from HyperDrive. Thinking about GPE 5.0 lolipop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lecapitan:
I had this problem as well. Installing the googymax kernel (or any kernel with CPU settings) and increasing the CPU min frequency to 486 (from the default 384) solved the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ribenabob:
Anyone else's compass all wonky? Mine has been borked for awhile now, and I know there's been problems with cm based roms as well. It looks like cm folks finally figured out how to fix it, any chance this could be merged with us? is it a kernel thing that i should direct towards the hulk kernel guys?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60395034&postcount=32
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
And that didn't kill your battery? FYI, I switched Googy's governor to intelliactive and that fixed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lecapitan:
I have not had enough time to tell for sure, but it seems OK so far. I will try that governor setting if I notice anything. Thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
This says works with cdma. So if I have a mdk build with verizon this should flash fine correct? I read the OP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lecapitan:
I am running it on the same setup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Thanks was told previously this was not for my phone. Thanks for the confirmation. Gonna give it a try. Comming off of hyperdrive.

I switched over as well. Enjoying the upgrade to lollipop. However, I read today the verizon s4 is supposed to get lollipop this week.

I've been wanting to try this after having good luck with Dan's 4.4.4 but I still haven't seen anything on phone encryption. I have to encrypt my phone per company directive to use the company email even though I own the phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dscblu:
Is anyone else's audio volume really low on the 4/19 build? Even on full volume everything seems far to low of a volume
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
After you said that I looked and your right so should start seeing more lollipop based roms woot. That will last me till the s7 comes out. Supposed to be alot of huge changes. Soni got what 6 months lol. They put phones out way to fast
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Akomack:
It is absolutely horrid, I can barely hear anything from the speaker or through the headphone jack. I'm going to dirty flash back to the last build.

I installed trickster MOD and went to sounds and everything is negative 89. I switched everything to 0 or 1 at it has helped a lot. I used hulk kernel from aroma. Not sure if that is the same you are running.

Anyone ever have issues with recorded Snapchat videos? I've recently started having a lot of issues, and I'm not sure how to correct it. When I record the video in snapchat, it plays back fine, however, when I send it out, it completely scrambles the video (see a screenshot of it, below.) I'm just trying to figure out if this is a problem the ROM is causing, or what.

Anyone ever experienced this?

Here's a video of it that I uploaded. The sound isn't absent, I just didn't make any noise. https://www.youtube.com/embed/G-OGtiR9X7g

I'm sorry you are having this problem, but glad that I am not the only crazy one that experienced this.

Looking good over here!

Hey guys, I've been stalking this thread for a few days now, and was hesitant to install as I had a great working ROM and didn't want to deal with bugs or whatnot.

I followed the instructions in the OP, flashed an MK2 baseband, flashed the rom, set the APN settings and everything is working perfectly! No issues whatsoever. Will report back with battery life stats and whatnot....

Thanks for the great ROM OP!

Is no one else having problems with GPS?

Even on a clean install of 2-14 it still won't located me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Weird. As soon as you install the launcher, press the Home button. It should ask you which launcher you want to open at that time. How did you go about installing the GEL? Maybe it's not fully installed. If all else fails, try a reboot.

Edit: Oh, now I see...your edit at the top was meant as a follow-up to the item below it. Glad it's working now!

Searched the thread and there is a lot of confusing MDK/MK2 discussions that seem vague.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Good to go!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blastthenoise:
MDK bootloader with MK2 modem is required. The i545 modem is the one to use if you are using a Verizon s4, the OYUE modem is for developer edition devices. So you are greenlit.

Great Success! After eventually picking the right APN choice and network I got a 4G signal.

Everything else seems to be running smoothly. I got a few FCs along with way, but things seem to be settling down. I am creating a NANDROID now and then will be making a few more UI tweaks. 2.6GB NANDROID is very nice along with saying goodbye to all the Samsung Bloatware.

Thanks for the great work.

Amazing, the difference in activity in here, between yesterday and today. I figure all us east coasters had the day off yesterday, because of the snow. It worked out well. The ROM has been hammered out, and now everyone can start enjoying it.

So glad this is working great for everyone now. I'm going to reflash it tonight!

Also does anyone know how to adjust vibration intensity on the soft key buttons?

Trust me, I would like to upgrade, but I'm pretty sure that Xposed (which I rely on heavily) and many of the modules I use simply aren't ready for Lollipop prime time yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djdmbrwsk:
I'm not sure what the deal is but I'm pretty sure it's related to this ROM. When I connect my phone via USB and do...

adb shell
pm list packages

...I get "Aborted". In fact anything "pm" results in an "Aborted" message.

Note that the USB debugging option is turned on and when I connect my phone and do "adb devices" my device IS listed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ya they have xposed worked out for lollipop but like you said modules are not.

I know you're super busy, but any timeline for when we can expect a 5.1 update? I appreciate all you've done and not trying to rush, just trying to get an idea of when we might see the update. I've made donations and def appreciate all the hard work on this rom.:D

Home button misbehaving

Is anyone else having issues with the mechanical home button in the 4/19 build? It is NOT the button itself, as it reliably turns on the display. I have had some success with getting it to behave by clearing caches or dirty flashing, but nothing will stick for more than a day or two. It's irksome, because everything is running smoother than on any other ROM I've tried in the past two years.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Never heard of this, but if you are new to this rom then you may want to try the 3/15 build before the latest one. It was the final build and has no issues(mostly).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ljcorsa:
Thanks, I've run this and all Dan's S4 GPE ROMs for quite awhile, and when the home button works for me, I like this much better than the 3/15 build. I seem to be alone with this issue, so I'm going to try from scratch (ODIN to stock, re-root) to rule out any hangovers from earlier failures.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ljcorsa:
CarDock Ultra anyone?

I think I have narrowed the problem to my car dock app (CarDock Ultra ("CDU")). Does anyone on this ROM use CDU? Would anyone out there be willing to install this, and tweak it to become default home when active? The problem seems to vanish and never return just by freezing CDU, and a second data point would be most welcome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jesand83:
home button woes

I had the same problem with cm locker when i tried it as a lackscreen alternative. My home button started flaking out and then it just stopped working all together. As soon as I uninstalled the app it went away. I never did find a fix for it. Still wish i could change the lockscreen wallpaper to be different from the homescreen, but decided a working home button was more important.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Wait, so I read that is is a Loki doki ROM on MDK only, but this quote from the OP states a Samsung base. Does that mean Safestrap may work??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Its not for safetrap as said many times over already.

Out the box anyway...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
Might as well put it in the title at this rate...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Sorry The OP and multiple posts confused the crap out of me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ljcorsa:
For the record, it appears CarDock Ultra is not my culprit. About every other day, I wipe dalvik and cache and the issue disappears, but not for very long.

At this point I'm out of ideas.
