I am having a problem with slight audio stutter when playing music through Poweramp w/ equalizer. I assume this is a kernel issue and that changing a setting might fix it b/c this has happened before when I switched kernels. Anyways, would anyone have any ideas on what settings to adjust in the kernel tweaks app? Right now I am just using the defaults.

Decompile framework-res.apk and set these values in res/values/dimens.xml:

<dimen name="navigation_bar_height">[B][COLOR="Red"]0.0dip[/COLOR][/B]</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height_landscape">[B][COLOR="Red"]0.0dip[/COLOR][/B]</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_width">[B][COLOR="Red"]0.0dip[/COLOR][/B]</dimen>

Then edit /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl with the following changes:

key 127 [COLOR="red"][B]APP_SWITCH[/B][/COLOR]
...
key 139 [COLOR="red"][B]APP_SWITCH[/B][/COLOR]

Finally, enable the navbar in the Interface settings.

EDIT - I attached a flashable zip that will install these two modified files for you.

I'm also having some audio studdering in PowerAmp. I was wondering if choosing a different music processor in Aroma might affect it. I chose stock but CM was recommended in Aroma.

Why would I be enabling the Navigation bar at the end?

Edit: I just reread our conversation and think I misunderstood you. I was trying to get the menu hard key to remap to recent apps, like it is on the S5. Is that also what you are talking about?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
Enabling the navbar forces apps to show the menu overflow button. Most of the apps I'm using show it anyways, but some apps (like Titanium Backup) will not show it unless you force the option on your phone. This is enabling the navbar, but setting the height to 0 so that you don't see it. Personally, I did not stick with this part of the modification because it disables the capacitive button haptic feedback (which I like), so when I need the Menu option in TiBu I just turn on the on-screen navbar through the Interface settings and restart my phone to get it temporarily.

The edits in Generic.kl are what change the hardware Menu button to a Recent Apps button instead.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
Glad to see I am not the only one. I actually chose the new CM AudioFX so it can't be that. Besides I think poweramp uses its own audio engine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PurdueLumberjack:
I have the same issue going on, though I'm still running the 01/05 release and I figured that was the problem. The stutter can be random, but I've also noticed it happen right after turning the screen off. It's not a big issue, but I would love to figure out what the issue is :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Big treat in store for you guys! Updated to most recent Verizon APNs, CSC, and more in testing now... Much faster data, calls, mms and text... Noticeable (huge) difference!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sauravdn:
This is the main reason i abandoned this rom my audio stuttering is out of control i different music player and tons of other apps nothing seems to fix the issue i just gave up hope. I was getting stuttering at least two to three times per song that is playing locally from my sd card. Drove me nuts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Thanks for clarifying that. I'll give this a try!

We need to figure this out, then. Seems like there was some way to adjust the minimum voltage for screen-off music to fix this, but I never looked into it.

I have switched to the interactive governor and have had minimal audio stuttering over Bluetooth. I also switch to autohotplug, and disable gentle fair sleepers. I was having issues before this. Not sure if I were to switch 1 of the 3 if it would improve
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
I use intellidemand with gentle fair sleepers disabled and get maybe one half-second stutter every three or four songs.

I'm sorry for spam notifications from the OTA app... We left some debug code in the app and it's gone now, won't happen again

UPDATE IN THE OP

* Patched colorfade memory leak in services.jar <---- 5.0.2 fix, pretty significant as Cyanogen merged it into CM

* Network improvements for Verizon Wireless

* Removed debug code from OTA app <--- fixes the notifications every 30 seconds lol

* Fixed spacing for U/D on network meter

* Fixed Calculator delete string for English UK

* Updates to our themed dialers

* Sound recorder updates, Can now record in mp4 and wav

* Compiled updated CM apps from source

* Update OTA info in build.prop
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sauravdn:
All of this glad i am not the only one. This is my one and only complain about this rom please try to fix this. I get stutter on almost all my music that i am playing from my sd card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
if I cant repeat it or get any sort of logs then I can't fix anything, We are all using class 10 sd cards I hope?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sauravdn:
This doesn't occur with other roms so i assumed it wasn't my SD card will provide logs once i reflash rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
I have a 64gb Samsung class 10 SD card and I can't get the music to stutter and I have tried.

I don't listen to music on my phone, I stream it to the stereo in my truck via Bluetooth with no stutter that I have noticed.

Today, just to test I played an entire playlist from the phone while I was working.

I don't notice any stuttering.

Hey Danvdh I sent you a PM a couple days back about using your GPe source for a personal project. Wondering if it was okay to try out?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsmejson:
Hey Dan, is this cosmetic battery fix needed for the 1/28 update or has that already been applied?

Thx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] freakyguy88:
I am pretty sure it has already been applied. Not showing in the 1-23 build
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsmejson:
I am now running the 1/28 build. Up to this point I have never experienced any of the MMS fail that others have had but now am experiencing this. Does anyone that has had this problem know what the fix is?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
apn- fix no longer valid...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] danstah:
Same here. On a positive note I went from 2 Mbs down to 8 Mbs down
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Making an assumption here that it's kernel related and occurs primarily during screen-off due to voltages dropping below 486 MHz.

When the voltage drops below 486 MHz during Media/Bluetooth playback it will stutter/disconnect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
I would love to give Dan log for this. Unfortunately, even with all I have learned about Android over the years, I still don't know how to get this log problem-solvers often ask for. I know it is easy. Can someone give me quick instruction?

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

Same thing happened to me each time I flashed this build. Go in and switch the network from lte-evdo, or whatever, to wcdma, then switch back. Should work after that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Dont do that. That apn fix is no longer valid. The apns are now correct when you flash.

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

Did you do a full wipe (with internal) when you installed? Do not flash the APN-fix in this forum, the apn/csc issues were all taken care of in the last build... What messenger app are you using? And... you are a US Verizon customer correct?

Did you see how to fix? I posted it in case you missed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
Just curious how long it takes on a clean install of the 1/28 build to show the call screen after hitting send on the dialer? I did a dirty flash and it seems to have gone from about 5 seconds down to 2-3. I was already getting about 20mbps down, so data hasn't changed much for me (although I didn't really need it to lol).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsmejson:
Yes I've done a full wipe with each new build. I am using the stock messenger app. Yes, us Verizon ;)

I did do that and that worked. Afterwards I rebooted to see if it would stick but it didn't so I had to do the fix again. Will I need to do this each time after I reboot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
I still don't see MMS for VZWINTERNET am I missing it?

Same issue here. Reboot makes them not work and requires changing the network type.

What does ro.telephony.default_network= reflect in /system/build.prop

What version of twrp are you guys using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsmejson:
Mine says: ro.telephony.default_network=8
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Impossible. I froze Xposed and Gravity Box with TiBu. When I said reboot I meant power off and power back on since there's no stock reboot button.

But I think it might have to do with the fact that I switched the system language from English (US) to English (UK). I switched it back and rebooted but it remains the same. I'll just clean flash again and stick with English (US)

I did, didn't know that was a no no
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
nope DONT DO A THING, I HAVE A FIX! this guys little mishap showed me what needed to be done!!! this will fix your network mode

Can someone tell me how to go to restore stock from Odin?

Really want to use this rom, it is absolutely amazing save for the LTE issues =(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
read a few posts back

there will be no LTE issues anymore
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdv11:
Oh should I flash that dialer fix or just wait for the new build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] natec003:
Just wanna give a quick word on the rom. I tried to install the first version a few days go and couldn't get the LTE to kick in. I had to flash a tw rom to get my LTE back (took me a while to figure that out). Despite the issues I decided to try again tonight. I followed the instructions in the OP, but also put the phone in airplane prior to selecting the apn. LTE kicked in immediately with no issues. I then shot out a couple texts, made a phone call, installed xposed and rebooted. Everything continues to work without an issue. I'll stick with it for a little while and see how everything shakes out, but so far so good! Thanks to everyone who has been helpful throughout the thread!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
flash it, test the phone app and confirm your network mode is the same as the op now :)

also test a few reboots, there should be no phone FC at all after flashing this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Okay, reporting back again. I have restored all my apps, set up GravityBox, and Xblast, and all is well. Woohoo! Going to install the newly posted dialerfix.zip, and I think I'm done. Man, do I love this ROM. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
yep flash that, report back on the phone app and reboot a few times and look for a phone FC

should be gone, i just got rid of a conflict because of buddies screenshot on the page before this one
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdv11:
Sigh, no dice man. Am I doing something wrong? No 3g OR lte now..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
I think messed up my data for good. Tried your fix, options were the same on reboot. And I changed the system ROM language from English (UK) back to English (US) and that's when the options changed. I think I just messed around with APN shortcut and the phone info app too much and ruined it. All I can get is 3G. Hopefully whatever info you got from my mistake is still worth it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Since I'm gonna clean flash, want me to flash the 2-13 zip and then the dialerfix zip right after and test that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
dialer fix is looking to be a dud? =/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
Clean flashing everything now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdv11:
in the apn shortcut i keep selecting lte-verizon, then it jumps up to ehrpd verzon everytime and gives 3g back. when i select the lte verizon i get no net whatsoever
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcconvict:
I noticed my mobile network type wouldn't stick using mobile settings. I had to use the LTE on/off app to get it to stick. Then the APN stuck. Now everything is butter

Everything is working so I'm not flashing the dialerfix. Don't fix what ain't broke
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Had to reset the APN again after flashing the dialer fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
I hate to say it but it looks like it. After the clean flashing with the 2-13 zip and the dialer fix, I didn't pick up 3G or LTE at boot. After finishing up the set up without WiFi I was still unable to get any data at all. It was only after putting the phone into airplane mode, changing the APN to LTE - Verizon, and verifying the network settings, I got LTE. Check out the screenshots - I have one from the welcome screen, after the set up, and the following your Data instructions from the OP. If there's anything else I can do to help then I will

Sorry guys, I smoked way to much... 8 is correct, disregard everything I just said lol ;) Your recovery is working correctly haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Didn't do it dirty and if you didn't add the MMS into the apns there will still be a need to get into the settings and add it manually for it to work. VZW LTE folks are supposed to use VZWINTERNET. Not looking for it in the type just in the MMSC and MMS port. Since the ROM isn't "official" (which is obviously a good thing) we might need to add some extras in lieu of network pushes. The RIL does seem to be a little off as well.

If your using VZW detection now I would update the build.prop for SCH-I545 to avoid all those "failed to Loki" posts from the folks who use Flashify or other non-manual methods to get TWRP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
The apns are from the Verizon S4 JDQ39.I545. Thats about as official as you can get but I am not going to argue with you. Add mms in there if it makes you feel better. Mine is working perfectly out of the box.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsmejson:
I just downloaded tarp IMG file for verizon from their site, flashed with flashify, full wipe and installed and still having the same issue. Any other ideas why yours worked out of the box and mine doesn't?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Not arguing at all; please don't mistake my input as such. I was simply suggesting that since the Dan's ROM isn't official VZW (which again, is preferred) we might have to make some changes for Verizon to function correctly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:

I just confirmed you are right... Doesn't stick after a reboot... I can't send MMS either... Bad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
They're working on getting it to stick. In the meantime if you add...

MMSC: https://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms

MMS port: 80

to your APN MMS will work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] danstah:
I did that and it fixed my MMS but now I'm back to slow speeds. Now that I know what I'm missing it's tough going back to the slowness. ;)

Also what's the proper model to edit the build prop with?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
If you just manually added those lines there should be no impact to your speeds. If you flashed or edited something else that's a different story.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] danstah:
Maybe so. Could also be just random. Only thing I did other than that was flash to TWRP 2.8.4.0. Not sure if you saw above but what's the proper build to put in the build.prop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Just search for: DansGPEbuildprop4vzw.zip

for a flashable zip to set the build.prop
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Whats not sticking? Your APN selection?

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

You know that there have been other build prop changes since that was made right? And there are changes made on install as well...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Nope. Still can't mms after reboot. And these entries are still there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
The ability to select the "Access Point Names" in the settings menu. Without first selecting "Preferred network settings" then choosing anything other than what is selected by default. Then switching back to LTE/CDMA/EvDo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
See if it still works after reboot. Mine didn't.

That file just replaces strings in the build.prop, it doesn't overwrite it with another copy.

I actually found the same thing. Even with this it doesn't work after reboot.

Also when I flashed back to TWRP 2.8.3.0 it seemed to make my speeds go back up. Really odd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
The ability to send MMS isn't sticking. The APN stuff seems unchanged. Of course, I have to select some Non-working network to even view the apns. If I'm on US LTE I can't view them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Doubt that will work. It may seem like it works but I believe the network you are on sets the apn.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
It doesn't do anything to the apns it only allows you to access the menu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Yes, or put it in airplane mode... Do you have data and just no MMS? Also, did you install messenger with aroma or play?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsmejson:
I have data just no MMS and messenger was installed with aroma. Should I install with play?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Aroma. Data up and down is fine. Just mms as far as I can tell.

And the airplane mode trick isn't working for me anymore either. Just selecting a different works for me now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Try this. Delete messenger from /system/priv-app , reboot, install it from play and try. I am assuming you have not flashed a bunch of apn stuff over the install and messed with the build prop...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Your assumptions are correct. I'll report back.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
I'm going to see if I can use the APN fix I did on the 4.4.4 build to see if I can fix this build. If I update my Moto X to lollipop, I may be able to do a similar APN fix. I'll try it but I don't know when I have time to actually update the Moto X the lollipop.
