This is correct. I have TWRP which I thought would do it for me, but I had to flash the loki-doki patch and then everything worked fine.

---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------

I just wanted to mention that I flashed this ROM last night and so far everything I've tried is working great. I ran into some common problems along the way:

1. After flashing and rebooting I got the unauthorized software message. I simply flashed loki-doki which was linked a few posts back in this very thread and it went away.

2. My access point names was blank and I got the message saying something along the lines of this user doesn't have access to this. I switched my preferred network type to CDMA+LTE/EVDO and then I was able to select access point names. NOTE: I tried to replicate this as I typed this to ensure that it's true. I also had to enter airplane mode. So, try shuffling those options until it works for you.

If there's anything anyone who is reluctant to jump aboard would like me to test, let me know!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cambunch:
Not sure about anyone else, but I am having practically zero issues with this ROM and it's the best my S4 has ever ran. I'm missing a few of the additional features from CM/GB, but the speed and stability of this ROM are well worth the trade-off. Great work Danvdh (donation sent)!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skinote:
Do you know where that post with the build.prop changes is? And/or if you find it, will you link it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] arcane spade:
Easy solution is to download the apk file from another source already hosting it like aptoide.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jstaab:
The original link to the app is gone. To get Samsung WatchON to show up again in Google play, you need to change your build.prop back to the original values, listed below. I tested this last night. Note, you might get by with changing only the fingerprint, but I changed all listed. Reboot after. Then go to your settings, apps, all, Google Play Store, clear data. After, you should find the app again. To the best of my knowledge, there are no side effects to leaving them set this way, but anyone can chime in if I'm wrong.

I was able to restore WatchOn from a titanium backup after switching back to Hyperdrive (a TW ROM) and installing/backing it up. However, it crashes immediately on launch. I'm not sure how anyone has WatchOn running on this GPE ROM...earlier posts mention checking out this smart remote app, so I'll see if that works tonight. Still no luck on Puzzle and Dragons doing anything but force-closing. Some people have mentioned that it (PaD) has some checking in place to avoid certain custom ROMs, so it may be very difficult to figure out why exactly it won't run...

Update:

I did this, and it did caused WatchOn to appear in the store, but it still force closes on launch. Puzzle and Dragons wasn't fixed by the build.prop changes, either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jstaab:
Sorry to hear that. Can't explain why WatchOn works here and not for you on this rom. You might try to clear the data if you happened to restore the data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skinote:
Aha, strange - ok so if I install Samsung WatchOn by Peel Technologies, it doesn't force close. But if I install WatchOn Plus by Samsung, it does. So I guess I can test the Peel version and that other smart remote app tonight. Now to figure out Puzzle and Dragons...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tracker01:
does this work with safestrap 3.72?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JettMartinez:
Nope.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] IMMORTALKING69:
So anyone figure out how to get messenger mms working yet? Also, is anyone experiencing any lag with clearing apps? Its just not smooth as it was on 4.4. I wish you can remove the google search that comes up with it, it think that adds to it. I have google search on my home screen, annoying with it comes up when i clear apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
MMS works fine for me, both sending and receiving.

sent from a Galaxy S4 far far away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] IMMORTALKING69:
I'm usually in the group that has zero issues but my MMS does not work since going to LP. I wasn't too use my messenger app and it's very frustrating. Why the hell do other apps have mms working and not messenger?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Anybody been able to successfully enter new APN settings for MMS to work? I've tried manually entering it in but it always says "APN settings are not available for this user". Currently MMS is not working (with WiFi on & off).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Yup, works fine activate Airplane Mode immediately before you click "Access Point Names" and you should be able to select and make changes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Not sure what you're trying to say. When I click on APN, there are none that show up. When I try to add and manually enter info, it never saves. Always says what I said in previous post. I got this to work in Cyanogenmod/Android 4.4.4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Enter Airplane Mode BEFORE you hit APN.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
I go into Settings, ...More, If I enter Airplane Mode there, it grays out Cellular networks, I click Cellular networks, swipe down to enter Airplane Mode, then I hit Access Point Names. None are listed but I manually add the require parameters and then it does not allow me to save, as if it is stuck on that screen. Lets me Home out but not back out. Either way, it always says settings not available for this user. I did do a full clean wipe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Without Airplane Mode:

Enter Airplane Mode here:

APNs are visible:

Enter MMS settings:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JettMartinez:
The Airplane mode trick is only working for some people, I'm not able to access the APN settings that way either and MMS is not working with Messenger. It does work with other apps (handcent). I don't think anyone's figured out what the difference is between those who can access the APN settings and those who can't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scrillakev:
Hey guys, what kind of screen on time are you seeing with 5.0.1, on a stock S4 battery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Thank you for the screenshots but for some reason the APNs are not visible for me. Thank you for the effort, I'll just stay patient for a solution to turn up while I keep trying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckarrow2:
I was in the same boat not being able to see APN's... I just got it to work by switching my Preferred network type to WCDMA only, went back to Access Point Names and voila!, the list was there... I just switched it back to CDMA+LTE/EVDO and the APN's were still showing! I hope this helps someone.

UPDATE:

Lost on reboot! But if you do the above procedure you can see the list again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
This worked for me. Switching to WCDMA only, modifying the APN, then switched back to CDMA/EVDO/LTE/GSM/WCDMA. Upon switching back, the APNs disappeared again but MMS continued to work. Hope this was of any help to the OP/developer. Thanks all!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gruvylou:
Thanks ckarrow2 for figuring this out!! Worked perfect for me. Here is a link to the MMS APN settings if anyone needs them:

No Data again (! next to cell signal strength)

OK, this is happening to me again today and I have confirmed both VZW 3G and LTE are working here today.

BTW, my WiFi data works fine.

Is anyone else seeing this? ( I am clean flashed on Dan's 10515 version of the GPE ROM).

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: Solved. It was Freaking JuiceDefender! Damn thing wasn't recognizing the device was plugged in and the screen was on so it kept disabling the cellular data. Head's up!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] flamadiddle:
FWIW

I've had the same problem being unable to access APNs. However, I haven't had any problems with Messenger. I use Hangouts, which is sending/receiving MMS via cell network fine somehow. None of the tricks worked until the latest WCDMA trick. I could see the list of APNs, but VZWINTERNET was already selected. Perhaps that's why I haven't had any problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] IMMORTALKING69:
Confirming that airplane toggle didn't work for me for MMS problem. While airplane is toggled, I changed to wcdma only then back to CDMA evdo LTE, and MMS is now working for messenger. Haven't tried to reboot and see if it sticks yet but it's working. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gruvylou:
I also had VZWINTERNET selected by default, but the settings were not correct for VZW MMS. Once I changed and saved them, MMS through Messenger worked immediately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
been fiddling with it on my backup s4

its nice but it needs a lot of work to be a daily driver

the constant wifi issues are annoying and the APN's should be pre-configured

rom needs to be re-build for verzion using nk1 base and that should fix some of it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LewsTherin006:
Flashed this yesterday, and it works great! Only thing I miss from my old 4.2 ROM is that When you press and hold the power button, it doesnt give you an option to change to vibrate or sound plus it doesnt let you choose bootloader if you want to reboot. Besides that it has been awesome! NO MMS issues or wifi issues for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] glicholas:
In the phone settings, if you find the option titled "Interface" there's an option to enable 'advanced power menu.' Then when you hold the power button and choose reboot, another option will come up and let you select 'hot boot, recovery, reboot'.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LewsTherin006:
You are amazing!!! thanks!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
The switch to vibrate is different on Lollipop...

Press your volume button (up or down it doesn't matter) when the volume slider pops up tap on the bell in the top left hand corner.

Problem solved :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
with the lolipop update coming for the s4 in a few days we should be-able to get this rom working on bootloader locked safestrap
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
Try an app on Google play called "change apn". It will take you to the hidden apn settings. At least it does for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheLoonyRebel:
Not trying to sound like a doubter but where did you hear that the Lollipop update is coming for our Verizon S4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sparky697:
And even if it does I don't want any part of that touchwiz crap on my phone. That's why I'm on a gpe ROM lol. If it helps the safestrap crowd though that's awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shaftamle:
I agree completely! Verizon will jerk everyone around just like they have with the Nexus 6, which STILL doesn't have a Verizon release date. SMH!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] flamadiddle:
So I might be in trouble. I tried to encrypt my phone. I'm running GPE 5.0.1 20150105, TWRP 2.8.3. It said it could take an hour, but it's been over three hours now, and it's just sitting at the rotating Google-colored dots. Has anyone else encrypted their phone successfully? Is it just taking a long time or did I make a huge mistake? I don't want to stop it if it's just taking a long time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
I'd have to look back, but I thought the consensus was that you wouldn't be able to encrypt while on an old or loki'd bootloader. Many people reported failures.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
The main issue is that custom recoveries don't recognize encrypted drives. So updates are a bit more volatile/labor intensive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] flamadiddle:
So I need to wipe and flash the ROM again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
That's what it was, the recovery. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
If it encrypts you're fine until you want to update or flash again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] flamadiddle:
Well, I just passed hour 4, and it's still on the rotating dots. I don't think it's going to finish. I didn't have that much data on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
It probably shouldn't have taken more than an hour.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] flamadiddle:
You were right. TWRP couldn't mount the encrypted partitions. My stupidity for not researching that before encrypting. Wiped everything and installed this ROM again. Thanks for your help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Glad you're back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
what was swapped out of apns?? I can make the change
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Really switching to any other "Preferred network type" allows you to view the APNs. then when you exit APNs "Network operators" shows up also.

---------- Post added at 12:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 AM ----------

Adding:

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

and

MMS port: "80"

gets MMS going.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
which apn though?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Sorry, this one:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckarrow2:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cowbell_Guy:
For those of us still on 4.4.4, any of these flashable apns relevant?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
so just install those zip files in recovery and try it out?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
no issues with with google maps for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckarrow2:
No one said that it was flashable in recovery. They've zipped the file to compress it and to make the file downloadable without too much fuss from security software(s).

Flashable APNs

Here's a flashable zip for the APN testers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NikolaeVarius:
Thanks for the good work

Are there any plans for optimizations/new features in the future?

One thing that's really bugging me is that recents is very inconsistent in performance. One attempt will have it load normally, another attempt will take 5-10 seconds for it to show up.

Overall I love the ROM, but without xPosed, the lack of a lot of features is really killing 5.0 for me, or at least 5.0 GPe. Any plans to merge in features from CM or other AOSP based RIN?

Also, is it possible to lower the DPI "natively" like SlimRoms, so I don't have to mess around with modded Play Store apks?

Fix for VZW MMS

Ok, I think I have a fix for the MMS issues if some folks could test this and let me know. Here's a flashable zip that will update the apn-conf.xml and reset the telephony.db to take the updated apns. This will also answer Dan's question about the apn-conf file.

I've moved off the s4, but still keep it as a viable backup phone. Flashed the rom this morning, along with implementing the apns file posted by carved art. Everything works as expected, including MMS. Thanks again for the ROM. Fantastic in every way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
I flashed the "flashable" APN fix.zip. doesn't seemed to be working. MMS port 80 was missing from the Verizon APN line.

I don't get how some of you are reporting no issues with MMS if the MMS settings are incorrect off the bat from initial flash. (Directed at those indicating no issues with no changes at all.)

Trade phones? lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
I'm not familiar with the MSC port with reference to APN settings. Are you referring to the MMSC URL, the MMS port, or something entirely different? Which test failed after you flashed the fix? Sending/receiving?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
I've had no issues with mms since the Christmas build (using Google messenger). I'm hoping that when I flash the Jan 5th build later tonight it'll continue to work for me.

Correction..MMS Port and yes on sending/receiving. Though the APNs are visible now too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
You're using the stock MMS app? All the MMS ports were set to 80 so if all went well you should see that. Have you been able to use MMS with a third-party messaging app that allows you to set the apns?

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

Out of curiosity are you using AdAway?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
I have been using the stock google messenger. After I get off from work today, will flash the latest version. The apnfix.zip did flx the APNs from not being visible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
Ok, thanks. Also, are you using AdAway by any chance?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Using AdAway and Adblock Plus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
I have it installed and updated, that's about it really. Damn as soon as I flash Jan 5th, a new build becomes available lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CarvedArt:
So I think that might be a problem. With Adblock specifically. Try changing your MMS port to 8080. I have anther idea if that doesn't fix it.

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

Ok, sounds like that's not affecting MMS. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NikolaeVarius:
There is no point in using both. Use one of the other, preferably adaway because Adblock Plus is dumb

You might have to check with the Devs of the GPE 4.4.x ROM for Safestrap to see.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Just to kind of re-focus. I am able to get MMS working (sending/receiving). I initially starting posting on the MMS issue due to the APNs not being visible unless you switch to WCDMA mode only. The visibility of the APNs is good to go so that one can enter the missing MMS values. I'm assuming the next goal is to have MMS work right away w/o needing to modify APN values. Appears some dont, some do. I'll report back later after flashing the newest version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
Someone want to try something on the phone app for me?

This version and the prior version both had the same issue for me.

Go to the phone app and dial *86 or long press "1" to get to your voicemail, I can't enter my password, it tells me I have entered the wrong password (which I haven't).

If I go into settings and set up my voicemail to automatically enter the password, *86,,1234 (not my password but you get the idea) then long press the "1" key to get to your voicemail it will enter the password for me and access my voicemail but when the prompt comes up with the options, "Press 1 to listen to your messages" etc... The only key that is recognized for me is the "Press Star to disconnect"

I have tried this on other phone calls that are automated and tell you to press a number to continue, the same thing - Number presses are not recognized.

I really like this ROM but have to be able to use the keys to communicate with automated systems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
I thought I was crazy, experiencing same issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsmejson:
Not experiencing this issue. Pressing/Holding 1 calls voicemail correctly and inputting password afterwards works properly

Haven't had any issues with sending/receiving MMS using google messneger, however I am unable to see apn's with network mode switched to CDMA+LTE/EVDO. Should this be a concern?

ROM is fantastic, only thing that would make it perfect is if I was able to use my sview case to answer calls without opening the case up. I did see the GPE 4.4 Version has this ability
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
I just re-installed the rom and chose the stock dialer to see if it made a difference.

I was able to enter my password but when the prompt came up, "Press 1 to listen to your messages" no go. None of the other options worked for me either.

I'll try wiping everything and do a clean install and see if that works.

I really want to use this rom, it is awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] parrotheadmjb:
Adfree from big tin can works really well for me, prefer it over adaway
