Has anyone run into this issue since updating to the latest Snapchat a couple days ago (9.8.0.0)? The navbar is covering many of the Snapchat action buttons. I have no mods installed and have tried rebooting, clearing cache, and even uninstalling, then rebooting and reinstalling.

Anyone else having issues with Gmail on the latest version of this ROM. Mine will work initially but after a day or so, Gmail opens and immediately closes. A reinstall of Gmail usually works tho. Thanks

Just noticed that just clearing data on the Gmail app fixes it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
If you look at the date on that article, you may start to feel as I do. I actually posted what you did over a month ago. Many other phones not mentioned anywhere have received the update since that was written, and now there are articles out there about the S6 getting its 5.1 update and the features it will add. Never another mention of the S4 GPE update since that story over a month ago, which was a rumor, by the way. And now there is the M preview. All the other GPE phones got their updates several months ago now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Drogean:
i loved this rom dearly until the forced OTA upgrade to 5.0.1 that happened 2 months ago

my battery life is dismal now without xposed apps to fix it, and the working xposed version makes the rom sluggish and slow... its just so bad

going back to a kitkat rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
What forced upgrade? Nothing is forced here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Drogean:
Whatever OTA update thing pops up telling you theres a new version available. After ignoring it a few times, suddenly I was on 5.0.1

However, I seem to have fixed the battery drain issue by doing a complete factory reset using the manual download of the latest version. Shame xposed makes the rom into a laggy mess.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
All you have to do is go to the OTA app and turn off the notifications.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ljcorsa:
Have very reluctantly switched to the OC1 stock rom. Visually ugly, but no issues. (sniffle)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Dan, I had a question/request. I'm still in the 3/15 build, as Google Now reminders stopped working with the 4/19 build(I use them often). I haven't tried the latest build. 3/15 is basically perfect for me, except for one tiny thing. There is lag when opening recent apps. It can be significant sometimes, lasting 1-3 seconds often before the screen comes up. After using it, it will work fine with no lag for as long as it stays fresh. I've noticed that CM builds don't seem to have that problem. I have also noticed that if I just set up an activity shortcut on a homescreen to go to recents(through the launcher) it works great, just without the opening animation. It isn't a major concern, but if there was any way to fix it, I could try to make it worth your while. Either way, thanks for what you do. Best smartphone experience ever has been this S4, and all thanks for that goes to you and your team.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cognitivedissonance:
I'm thinking about updating to the 5.0.1 base version. I'm still on the 4.4.4 version of this ROM currently, and I'm using Philz recovery. I know TWRP is the one recommended for use with this ROM, but I'm curious if anyone is still using Philz, because it seems like Philz has some additional nice features.

Additionally, is the 3/15 or 4/19 build more highly recommended?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheBadBen:
I'm on 3/15 myself. I can't remember why I switched back, but I was on 4/19 for a few days...

I'm getting a notification that there's a 6/01 version too. I haven't upgraded, but I might this weekend. 3/15 is working great for me.

Going from GPE 4.4.4 to 5.0.1

Still running the kitkat version of this. Use a few xposed modules I just refuse to live out :). Gravity box (various tweaks), xposed additions (remap keys), and a few others.

Are there alternatives to gravity box/xposed additions that do work with lollipop?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Flypanam:
I'm running the June 1, 2015 LP version of this. Xposed and Gravity Box specifically are working fine for me (including key remapping through GB). I also use the Pics and Music to SD modules. Amplify also works.

This is the file I used. You must flash the zip in recovery. It took flashing a few times for me before it took.

No slow downs for me. On Googly Max kernal, Hulk kernal killed me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LewsTherin006:
I have been running this ROM for a while perfectly but yesterday my phone went crazy. I flashed the latest update a few days ago and it was running fine. All of a sudden it shut itself off. I had to reboot it a bunch of times to get it to come up. Some times it works fine, other times it freezes up. Somtimes gmail, the playstore and google services all quit working. I have tried getting into recovery to flash a backup but I cant get into recovery. I am using TWRP; whenever I reboot to go to recovery, it just stays on the team win screen and never moves past that. I even tried booting into recovery using Rom manager and it didnt work either. It just timed out. Any ideas how what I can do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
I've spent a lot of time on this ROM following each build update and has been my daily driver since initial December release. It's been a fun experience but the GPS lock issue, sending/receiving MMS issue, and lack of certain customizations have forced me to flash back to CM 11 4.4.4 Snapshot build. Lollipop just isn't "seasoned" enough for me yet. Great ROM and appreciate all the work and effort put in.

Waiting for Google's Fi Project to send me an invite to their beta or go live to buy my next phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
I was on 4/19 but some things weren't working, thus I stayed on 3/15, which is basically perfect. Haven't tried a newer build since. Nothing has been changed since 3/15 anyway except different aroma methods and updated apps, but I think something got messed up in the process.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Flypanam:
I'll agree with this, but I'll say 6/1 seems pretty solid so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zeb carter:
Ok, I've gone ahead and moved to Lollipop. After numerous tries, I got it. I kept having problems not being able to format /DATA. Finally, I figured out that what was going on was that because my phone was encrypted (due to company policy), that i needed to do a factory reset from inside the phone settings. What clued me in was not getting past the boot animation and then reflashing the previous rom from DAN. Everything was back when I did this.

So I did the factory reset, then the phone did a final decryption, and I was able to flash the 3/3/15 build and then after Google restored apps, I did the OTA to 6/1.

Now I have a question - how do I get Exchange mail back on the phone? Under add accounts, I do not see Exchange services listed.

Also - in About phone - shows phone model # as GT-I9505G. I edited build.prop as shown in post #2564 but does not seem to have propagated. Ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NikolaeVarius:
Weird, I can't seem to get Xposed working.

I've installed the latest framework in recovery and have the APK and soft reboot it, but it simply won't activate.

I've tried installing the zip about a half dozen times and it always goes fine, what the hell.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LewsTherin006:
I am having trouble booting into TWRP. I want to restore an old backup I did before I flashed the latest version. My playstore, google services, and youtube basically all pop up on the screen and say they have stopped. For some reason when I try booting into TWRP, it just stays on the teamwin screen. Also my phone stopped sensing my SD card. Any ideas what is going on? I have never had a phone or a ROM do this to me before. It randomly started happen on friday.

EDIT: Also I have tried master reseting the phone also. Didnt work. Just took to me recovery, which once again stayed stuck on teamwin screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
How did you last update your recovery? You may have the wrong recovery flashed, which would cause it to hang on the twrp page.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LewsTherin006:
I havent touched TWRP ever since I flashed it the first time. When I flashed the lastest update TWRP worked fine. I tried reflashing it through the TWRP app. It says it flashes fine once I flash it. If I reboot after flashing it it just hangs. Do you think I could flash the stock recovery with Odin?

As of now my phone works, just a lot of the google services dont really work like they should.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
If you reflashed twrp from the app without changing the build prop on this rom, then you flashed the wrong recovery. You have to change the build prop to the Verizon version or the wrong recovery gets flashed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LewsTherin006:
I did change the build prop to the VZW GS4. ROM manager actually sees that TWRP is also installed but like I said it just hangs on the teamwin screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Hmm. Well, make sure it's version 2.8.4 and not anything newer than that. Otherwise, no ideas.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cognitivedissonance:
What kernel are you guys having the most success with after updating to one of the lollipop builds?

I recall with the KK versions one of the kernels actually fixed the compass inversion issue. Anything like that to consider here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brentfincham:
I've had exactly the same issue for a while now. What's odd is that after my last wipe and flash to the 4/19 version, I flashed xposed and everything was working fine (gravity box, et al.) Then one day, seemingly randomly, it just lost its mind and stopped working. Now I can't get it to install/activate just like what you're describing. So strange.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LewsTherin006:
I have no idea what happened but I was able to restore the backup I made before I flashed the latest version. My recovery started working for some reason. Something on the latest one didnt agree with my phone, but I am back to running smooth now!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NikolaeVarius:
I just fixed it, Almost a freaking footnote. This should be in the original post. This never happened to me so I didn't even think to go looking for a issue like this. Weird.

Q: Xposed won't work. All the files are present and correct. What to do?

A: Check the logs in the app. If you see a line that says "found /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/config/disabled" then delete that "disabled" file and reboot. It should work

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cognitivedissonance:
So, I upgraded from a 4.4.4 base build to the 3/15/15 build. I've reinstalled all apps and things seem to be alright, but I'm noticing a bit more slowness than usual. In particular, the screen takes a noticeable amount of time to wake from being off, and things just seem slower. I have a feeling this may have something to do with kernel settings vs the actual ROM (I bought the phone pre-configured, and running a tweaked alucard kernel.) In any case, I'm not on the Googy Max kernel, unconfigured. Anyone have a good resource to configure it for a bit more speed and responsiveness? Or should I try a different kernel altogether? I'll continue searching, but I figured asking you guys would be valuable as well.

Sweet! That did it for me too! I'm welcoming back all the Xposed/gravity box goodies with open arms. Thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gpz1100:
Thanks! I don't usually mess with kernels, figuring stock is fine for my use. In this case, stock (hulk?) caused strange issues with xposed.

I had time to update the phone the other day. Went with the 6/10/2015 build and the kernel you mention above.

GPS, wifi and compass work. Issues with the compass though. North/South indicate correctly but east/west is 180° out of phase. With kitkat I was running the ktoonsz kernel. Compass worked well. I think Ktoosz has something for lollipop, I'll take a look after making a backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cognitivedissonance:
gpz1100 please let us know what you find with the ktoonsz kernel.

I have a few questions:

1) is there a reason Google Text-to-Speech always shows up as having an update in the app store? I install it, it seems that it installs correctly, and then shortly afterwards, it'll reappear as if there's a new update. Rinse and repeat.

2) is there a way to use the aroma installer to replace certain components that were chosen during install (namely I'd like a different browser)? I don't want to reflash the whole ROM, just change the components.

3) my phone appears to think it's a GT-I9505G. Is there any reason that I should try to get that corrected (buildprop edit or something like that, I assume?)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pkaczor:

[MENTION=4433558]kwest12[/MENTION], There was a post few pages back saying the ktoonsez kernel aosp kernel will not work with this rom. Will give it a try sometime this week when I have time.

2) You're more than welcome to install any browser you want and set it as default. I have chrome, opera and dolphin installed. Dolphin is my primary browser but it doesn't work well with some sites.

As far as what actually gets installed, I'd say it's the bare minimal needed to get the phone going. You can then customize as you see fit.

3) I wouldn't worry about how its getting identified unless you're having a specific issue because of this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
I am having trouble with the latest update (6/14/15). I can install it in TWRP but I get no Aroma options. It just installs and reboots the phone. It claimed that it is wiping system data but all my apps and info remain on reboot. Also, the OTA update fails to install anything. I receive an error, but it disappears before I can see what it says. Anyone else run into these issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cognitivedissonance:
Well, the whole Aroma being gone makes sense b/c of the changelog from the development page, found here.

Here's the notes:

It sounds like he tweaked the alucard kernel specifically for this ROM. I'd be interested in getting my hands on that and trying it out with the release that I'm on (03/15). Anyone know how to go about doing that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
Ahh, now that I read that again, it does make sense. It will be interesting to see performance/battery with the new kernel as well.

Here is the xda thread for alucard's kernel, however I have having trouble finding the version for this rom.

Battery life seems to be pretty good on the 6/13 build but I'm having Bluetooth stuttering issues. I searched the thread but couldn't find the post to the settings that can help fix that... anyone have a link?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cognitivedissonance:
Is there any way to extract it from the ROM package?

I don't recall ever reading anything about stuttering with Bluetooth or how to fix it... was that an issue in the past?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kd-:
They're all from a few months ago, but here are some examples. I vaguely remember reading about GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS, which got me here but I'm not sure if that still applies with the 6/13 kernel or if there's a better option.

Is anyone else having Bluetooth stuttering issues on the 6/13 build / new Alucard kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cognitivedissonance:
Anyone ever run into a SuperSU notification in the status bar up top saying you need to update the binary, but nothing happening when you click it and open the app?

I'm pretty certain that v2.46 is the most current one and that's what I'm on.

It hasn't actually caused an issue, it's just a bit concerning to see a notification like that about such a vital part of the setup...

I think there's a flashable zip of the most recent SuperSU; should I just grab that and flash it again, or can I wipe the app data (that won't remove the binary, right?)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
I've seen this for a while and just ignore it. Never had an issue other than the phantom notification.

---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------

It's a new kernel, so who knows. I was kinda hoping that was one of the "tweaks" made to update the kernel, but I guess not. The prior mentions in this thread were mostly for Googies kernel. Governor adjustment was always the main fix. I believe this is one of the issues fixed in 5.1.1, if and when that ever gets released.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kd-:
Yeah good point, changing the governor from alucard to intellidemand seem to improve general responsiveness at least, I'll test bluetooth later today and report back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Intelliactive was the governor for Googie that fixed it. Simply changing the governor fixed over 90% of occurrences, which was good enough for me. Further adjusting the i/o schedule fixed the remaining 10%, but at a slightly noticeable performance cost.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cognitivedissonance:
Just to clarify about this Bluetooth stuttering you guys are experiencing, is it only locally stored music playback, or is it streaming apps too (Pandora, Spotify, etc.)

I have been using Spotify a lot recently (Bluetooth in car too) and I don't recall having an issue. I'm just running the Googy Max without tweaking on the 3/15 build.

Google search takes too long to open when I click the widget, the dialer/contacts and placing a call is pretty laggy, and some of the other apps take a bit longer than I'd like to open. In addition, when I wake the screen from being off, it seems that the backlight doesn't turn on very quickly, although it will allow me to unlock the screen with a swipe upwards before I can even see it (it brightens as soon as I do this.) In hopes of remedying these issues, I just turned off GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS an switched to the Intelliactive governor.

I've been getting solid battery life thus far, so we'll see what happens with these changes. If you guys let me know about the Bluetooth thing, I'll try to see if I can duplicate it on my phone.

EDIT: Well, I rebooted, let things get arranged and then tried out the dialer and the Google widget. Both response times are still quite slow (at least compared to what it was on 4.4.4 base). Any suggestions on how to fix these issues would be very appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kd-:
Google music streaming mostly for me. I misspoke, I meant Intelliactive not Intellidemand. I also disabled GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS and switched the I/O scheduler to ROW and things are definitely working better. Still a few skips and stutters so I'll keep playing with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
As for turning the screen on, turn off ambient display under display settings.
