Anyone have a solution to the inability to stream google play? I remember the problem talked about but may have missed the solution, and if I did I apologize. It worked in the past with this rom as I was getting my Walking Dead fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
So, maybe its something i am doing wrong, or a setting i missed.. but when i get a call, the screen doesn't turn on, and i have to unlock the phone to actually answer it. Frankly, i was only able to answer in time both times, since the phone was already in my had; had it been in pocket, i am sure i would have missed the calls.

Any ideas?

EDIT - After a reboot it seems to be working.. not sure what was up, but hopefully, just a one time glitch
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckarrow2:
Thanks for all of the hard work on this fantastic ROM! Donation sent!

I realize it's probably a kernel issue, but I still can't get the compass to function (backwards). All else works perfectly!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] flamadiddle:
I had this problem once or twice. Reboot fixed it for me as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
clean your proximity sensors guys, its a sign they are getting dirty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
I know what you are saying, but this is the first time i have seen that issue at all; additionally, the phone behaved normally otherwise (including the screen dimming and turning on as i was actually taking the call). Additionally, since it worked after the reboot, I have my doubts that its the sensor (but given that i have been proven wrong in the past, i try not to make blanket statements.. ;) )

This is the screen not coming on when a call comes in. I have watched it sit on a table, face up, a call came in, and the screen never came on until I pressed the power button. Had to unlock with my PIN before I could get to the call screen. Rebooted, and the next call showed up fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
Yep, exactly the same issue. Not a biggie, but also not because of a dirty sensor..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Try Google Voice. I don't have these issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsmejson:
Just installed the 1/12 version. What network should I be using? Cdme + LTE/evdo?

I'm not getting any apns to populate but MMS is working.

One thing I noticed is when I press and hold down "1" it shows dialing "emergency number" and not voicemail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NikolaeVarius:
Same. In at least one instance, I was using my phone and got a phone call. The screen turned off and stayed off until I turned it on again using the home button. I could answer the phone normally.

I wasn't sure if it was a ROM bug or my mind playing tricks on me. Glad to see other people have experienced similar issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
It probably IS the sensor, whether a reboot fixed it or not. I have a feeling Samsung had a manufacturing issue with this. I opened and cleaned mine and there was a tiny foreign object in there. Others have reported gunk in there when they opened it up. It is THE MOST common issue with the Galaxy S4. I think Samsung recognized the issue but fixed it with a software solution, like making the sensor less sensitive. That would explain why so many people experience the issue for the first time when switching to a NON-TW rom.

If it is the proximity sensor then the logic of the phone app has changed and is broken in my opinion. When a call comes in, it shouldn't matter if something is near the screen. It should come on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Wait, are you saying screen goes black without even answering call? That sounds new,if that's the case.

Real scenario that I watched happen:

Phone was sitting on table, screen off, face up, nothing covering screen.

Call came in.

Ring tone played. Screen stayed off.

Pressing power button presented me with the lock screen (notifications and all); no call controls.

Unlocking required my PIN as normal.

Once unlocked, I saw the call controls as they should have been presented immediately.

I don't have any restrictions on what's visible on my lock screen. I guess it's possible that the proximity sensor could be contributing to the problem, but I don't think we can blame all of that on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] freakyguy88:
When he gets a phone call the screen doesnt wake up that he is receiving a phone call basically.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsmejson:
Does anyone know if it is possible to extend the number of times the phone vibrates during an incoming call? Currently at the moment it vibrates 4 times. I always have my phone on vibrate and noticing with this ROM I have been missing a lot of calls.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
Doesn't sound like proximity sensor.

Google slim APN fix, flash slims apns. Works great for me on any rom including this one.

---------- Post added at 01:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 AM ----------

Try app on the market s4 proximity sensor recalibrate. Worked great for me and I had same issues where in a call screen would not wake no matter what and really seemed like it wasn't the sensor but it was.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] efaden:
Where did you get them? I can't seem to find em.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sparky697:
If the sensor thinks its in your pocket the phone won't wake to prevent accidentally answering it. Dirty or faulty sensor can make your screen stay off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] arcane spade:
I've used this fix on this ROM and earlier builds of euroskank's Lollerpop. Slimkats apn's work great for me al but I also use hangouts for sms. Other people use any app like hangouts or chomp where you can just manually input the APN but I flash the fix its faster and works for me.

I know this is old news but I am just curious how this resets the telephony.db ... It appears to me that all it does is make a copy of it. Maybe I missed something.

I am not having trouble with the screen waking up when in a call and taking it away from my face. That has worked just fine for me.

The issue I've had is that my screen just won't turn on or make call controls available before the lock screen when receiving a call. It has ALWAYS done this before, even when my hand was on the proximity sensor or it was in my pocket. I appreciate the help with proximity sensor issues, but I don't believe that's what's happening here. Anyway, A reboot fixed it, and it hasn't returned for me (yet).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
For those having the proximity sensor issue (screen stays black during calls), highly recommend this app on the playstore: S4 Sensors [Requires ROOT!] by DaGentooBoy

Took two calibrations for me. Its $1.99 though. You do have that 15 min to refund but I like supporting the Devs of the apps/ROMs I use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
You will have to excuse me, but this is really frustrating.. I appreciate the advice, but i might ask people to read a bit more; this is not staying black *DURING* the call.. this is the phone not displaying when GETTING a call. .

This is a brand new issue, and my phone displays NO other issue with the sensor (doesn't turn on when it shouldn't, and vice versa). This was a very specific issue when the phone, not in a pocket (it was on the table), did not turn on the screen more than once until a reboot (after which it has been working as expected). I know the S4 can have a jenky sensor, but this is a different issue.

As it is, i have used some sensor apps, and my sensor is responding just fine, so i again know its not that..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Did it start with this ROM? Recommend starting another thread in the proper section.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheRealStarkman:
Has anyone experienced having to press the dial key after you do a direct dial shortcut or using OK Google Call...

I have tried reinstalling using the clean option but still no go. I selected the teal dialer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] whozamazinka:
Yes. I have this issue as well. It was discussed a few pages back too... I'm pretty sure it is a Lollipop issue and nothing to do with this particular ROM.

I hope Google takes care of it. The extra step is annoying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
It started with this ROM, and it started with the lastest patch in fact. If you would look, i am also not the only one to report it.

So, anyway, just something to keep an eye on. obviously not a huge issue....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skinote:
Anyone know if this ROM supports use of a USB DAC, such as the fiio kunlun?

Edit: Also, I can't seem to access the SD card on my mac with android file utility. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rapajez:
I seem to be having an issue with LTE Data. Everything else is working fine. I have a full LTE signal, based on the status bar, but my actual connection disappears a few minutes after the phone is powered on, or rebooted. This is on the Verizon S4 (jvfze?) model. Any suggestions?

I already checked Preferred Network, which appears to be correct. (What should it be set to for Verizon?)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
LTE CDMA EvDO

You might want to try another modem. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46550751&postcount=1 to find something that works with your device in your area.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rapajez:
I've heard this mentioned before, but stupid question:

1. How do I know which one to flash? Assuming I want to start with one of the "retail" ones, but all I see are random strings of characters and md5 sums.

2. Do I just flash these in CWM/TWRP, like any other ROM/Update, or is there more to it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scrillakev:
Well there is really no correct one to flash it really depends on which one plays nice due to your location. I've had the best experience on the Developer NC5 modem but others have a better experience with the Retail NK1 modem.

You'd only want to flash the Modems only. Yes you would flash these via TWRP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Is there a flashable DarkUI zip available to download compatible with the latest ROM version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Not stupid at all... Exactly, just flash any of the "modem only" flashes. You can use any of the Retail or Dev modems. I use the latest Dev myself. Different modems work better for different areas and devices. Give em a day or so to settle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
Just to explain a little further, the various characters come from the different OTA updates that Verizon has pushed out for the S4. They indicate which version of the update the modem comes from.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CyberZion:
My PC nor the Phone will acknowledge when I connect it to my computer with a USB cable. It will start charging, but thats all. Any idea's? Also fast changing seems not to be working for me. Other than these two small issues for me, it's more stable than the CM12 build. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wbyrd:
Stuck on boot screen. Is the answer still flashing the kernel from like page 3 or 4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jackdubl:
I wouldn't flash any kernels from that far back in the thread. This was a Kit Kat rom back then. Start reading from Dec 23rd for current stuff.

I flashed the most reason version of TWRP and then flashed the ROM. Worked like a charm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Has it worked in the past? Have you installed the correct USB driver? Have you tried another USB port? Have you tried switching modes on the phone from media to picture (MTP to PTP)? Damaged cable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CyberZion:
Done done and done. Already checked all that. Just started after leaving CM12.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Assuming you've tried another computer. Without knowing what's going on you should look at a logcat when you try connecting. I'm guessing that CM or an app that was installed with CM has modified a driver that was not cleaned with a wipe. That being the case an Odin back to stock then back will fix your issue.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] maddog00:
I tried flashing this. Went through the Aroma install with no issue. It reboots, shows the flash screen, but then kicks me straight back to the bootloader. I am using CWM, though. Could that be the issue?

I'm on MDK and I was using Hyperdrive 19.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbradley07:
From the OP, "TWRP preferred". Most have success on 2.8.3. I noticed there's now a 2.8.4, but haven't seen anyone on here posting that they've used that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Erievon:
I've had no problems at all using CWM with this ROM, aside from having to flash the update myself rather then using the OTA updater. Not a complaint, I figured it was written for TWRP so I never even tried. I'm on CWM 6.0.5.0, not sure if that matters though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] arcane spade:
It used to work on this ROM, not sure if it's the update to play services or the ROM that is causing the problem. I'm guessing it's google play services and not the rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] maddog00:
Yeah, that was my issue. I didn't even realize how old my CWM was. It was like 1.6.8.5 or something. Yeah, updated that and it fixed the issue.

Would anyone be interested in the themed Google Dialer and Google Contacts I made? This theme goes more with the dark theme of the SettingsUI that is optional for this ROM:

I want to make sure Dan approves me posting the files as I based it off the versions that are in his ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsmejson:
I would be interested.

Which version are you running? I notice the middle image shows "Voicemail'. On the 1.12 version when I press and hold 1 it says "emergency number"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
I'm used to dialing *86 to get to Voicemail, and it will display that when when done so. I get Emergency Call when I press and hold 1 as well.

I was on the 2-11 build and had to end up flashing to a regular MK2 TW rom last night because text messages were taking a good 10-15 minutes to reach my phone. My LTE worked fine, and the rest of the rom was fabulous, but that text message issue was a killer for me and I couldn't risk getting delayed messages today. Flashing a regular MK2 tv rom resolved that instantly, but who knows if it was the roM? I really want to come back to this rom this weekend when I have some time though, because it's awesome and fast. Did anyone else have delayed text issues with earlier builds? Any issues now?

Been following this thread the past 2 days...

And am dying to give this a shot. I've tried a couple 4.4 roms and haven't fallen in love with anything yet but am a little gun-shy with all the posts I've read the past 2 days. Want to give this a test drive but wanted to get any pointers based on my current set-up:

- Recovery is TWRP 2.5.0.2

- Running an older 4.2.2 rom (CleanROM)

- Installed the MK2 modem earlier today, working fine

Anything I should watch out for based on what I've got running now? Any need to Odin back to stock recovery as previously suggested? Also, I haven't seen if installing gapps was necessary?

Thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TeH PLAYA:
Flashed this ROM a couple of days ago. I'm actually still on the 2-10 build.

Loving it so far! As far as connectivity, I went through an area with no LTE and mediocre 3G coverage only. But instead of 3G, I lost data all together on this ROM. I got back to an LTE area and still no data, so I turned off the radio and turned it on again - instant LTE. That happened maybe twice. On other times through the same area, it was able to switch to/from LTE easily. IDK, it's a hit or miss. Other than that, this ROM is very good! :good:

Ran a Speedtest, and got a download speed of 47mbps and an upload speed of 8. I would say LTE is working fine. Also got an instant lock on the GPS.

I'm rocking it with the dark option in GravityBox and I'm also running inverted gapps and apps from another source, and a dark wallpaper. Compliments the dark contacts and dark dialer that come stock with this ROM. :good:

Question - Anyone here run the inverted apps from Team Blackout? When I flash the inverted Google settings app, it does not invert it. I've tried renaming the GmsCore.apk in the ROM to GmsCore.bak, then flashed the inverted one in CWM, but it still does not invert the settings app. Ideas?
