the cm theme engine is your friend. there are tons out there. it's not always clear what all they theme, but many of the dark and blackout themes will cover the system apps including dialer and contacts. personally i have been using blackkat lite to black out everything. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.djdarkknight96.theme.blakkatlite&hl=en
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zilla.:
I just flashed this ROM a few hours ago and have noticed some issues. Have the MDK bootloader and using TWRP if that matters.

1. My lock screen targets have been set up. There are four targets and a fifth target that simply unlocks the phone. I have pattern security set up.

Whenever I select an app target, the first time I input the pattern, it doesn't work. I have to input the pattern a second time and then it unlocks. The first time I swipe it, the pattern is definitely not incorrect since I have the pattern visible. On the other hand, when I select to simply unlock, the pattern goes through the first time.

I was thinking I have a conflicting app installed like GravityBox (which is active). But I disabled the lock screen patterns on that app. It's probably irrelevant but I thought I'd try that.

I changed pattern to PIN and it does the same thing.

2. Google voice search is extremely inaccurate and it also seems like it is having a hard time hearing me.

I used the Voice Recorder to capture my voice. Replaying the recording was very quiet.

That's all I've run into so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] locofocos:
Just to be clear, the 9/18 build is still intended to be the final 4.4.4 build? I notice CM has released M11 for jflte.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
yea, I think people reported problems with m11 for the s4, so use this.

Anyone have a problem with google play movies? I have heard that it doesn't work on a rooted phone but I have had no problems till recently. It says playback is unavailable on this device. It will cast fine though. This only started recently.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
I got this notification in the middle of watching a movie on Google play movies. I've had no issues with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justda:
Sweet ROM. No issues so far...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
I really wanted to try this ROM out. Anyone get it working stable on the I545?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justda:
I am up and running fine. Fast smooth and stable.

My only issue and it is petty is that a lot of themes cause the google play store to force close. I believe it is because this ROM is based on M9 and every one is theming for M11. If anyone knows a fix I would appreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
it may also be because the new play store conflicts with the theming the older themes did, causing the crash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] IMMORTALKING69:
So I'm guessing this will get updated before the gpe? I think cm12 will release before sammy gets the gpe out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
I just realized this AOSP based and I'm on an NC5 locked bootloader using Safestrap. Guess that explains my problem of not being able to get it to boot at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sypherz28:
I am having a rage inducing issue with this particular ROM. No matter what app I use I can only send 1 SMS/MMS for what seems only once in a half hour. the first will go through instantly but all follow ups time out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] IaKnightHawke:
I will be moving over to the VZW SGS 4 next week from the SGS3 . Currently on CM 11 with KT kernel. The S4 is reconditioned, I do not know the build in it or the baseband. I want to use this ROM since I have used the KT kernel on my S3 for a long time and love it! :) I want a ASOP rooting and update path to install this ROM package. Just looking for guidance to make the transition smooth as possible. TIA for any help you can provide. Gary

Edit: I know how to find out what build and baseband are on the S4. I do not have a battery, or Sim card yet. These are coming early next week from Verizon. I will also not accept any OTA updates until I check what I have and look on xda for guidance. I know enough about Odin to be dangerous. I am not overly concerned about the Knox flag either. Gary

Edit: Yes I know the bootloader is locked on the S4 too...no kernel update. G.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] locofocos:
There is a setting in Settings - Security - SMS Message limit. It seems that 5 is the minimum though, so I don't know if that's your problem.

Actually, just search for 'SMS' in the settings. I'm using CM 11 M12 instead of this build at the moment, and the settings may be slightly rearranged.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sypherz28:
Settings force closes if I try to change that setting. currently set to "apps can send 30 messages in 30 minutes before requiring confirmation"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] locofocos:
So the S4 currently has CM 11 on it? For the standard Verizon S4, it needs to have the MDK bootloader to use the loki bootloader exploit to use custom recoveries and such. Since it's got CM 11, I would assume it's got the MDK bootloader with some kind of custom recovery installed. You could update the recovery just for good measure, but you probably don't need to if it's got CM 11 already. Your recovery options are generally either TWRP or Philz CWM. I use Philz CWM personally.

You may also want to make sure the radio is up to date. You can download those here- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2487298. Make sure you're downloading the proper version for your device though.

If you've got a custom recovery and everything, it should really just involve flashing zip files from recovery. Recent custom recoveries should automatically install the loki bootloader patch for you, I believe. (I use a developer edition S4, so I've never needed to do this. But Philz recovery always tries to do it for me.) Any custom rom here, like CM, should have root included. I would caution you to make sure you don't update the bootloader. If you do this, you'll lose your custom recovery. Generally, this should only happen if you install an official Touchwiz rom. Some people will repackage the Touchwiz roms to remove the bootloader update, so just read carefully. Most roms should have installation instructions for different scenarios. A CM rom like this obviously won't touch your bootloader.

Interesting. You're on the 09/18/2014 build right? That build is supposed to fix a bug like that.

I'm not sure if I can help much beyond that. You can try the standard procedures: download the latest version, check the MD5, wipe your data (factory reset in recovery), wipe your cache, wipe your dalvik cache, and reinstall the rom along with the latest gapps. It's a bit of a pain, especially after setting everything up, but that generally fixes most problems people face (unless it's really a problem with the ROM or the device.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] locofocos:
After using the official CM 11 M12, I've actually come back to this rom (despite being based on M9). The changelogs for M10, M11, and M12 don't really add any features I want.

One thing this build does PERFECTLY is the "Okay Google" hotword recognition. It seems the voice recognition on the official cyanogenmod 11 is just too quiet. I could only get my "okay google" to be recognized by the official M12 build 1 out of 10 times, even holding the phone at various distances from my mouth. It also had trouble understanding my voice commands (when activated by hotword or the mic button). This build consistently and accurately detects the hotword and my voice command afterwards. I think this improvement alone is worth staying on this build instead of taking future official CM 11 builds.

[MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] , have you implemented anything in this rom specifically to address the quiet microphone issue in CM? It seems other users have had this problem with CM as well, and I think you've found a great fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SyncingFeeling:
I use an app called "Phone Info *Samsung*" to be sure of bootloader and baseband.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rdefino:
Hi all, I have an odd problem. I flashed the rom just fine, but when I did a restore with Titanium backup, it restored about 100 apps then failed on the last 15 or so. so I loaded supersu and it still fails. There is enough space, since I can install the apps from the playstore just fine. I just cannot do any more restores.

I;m able to restore all on other roms just fine.

Any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] locofocos:
Different roms can store app data in slightly different ways. This can lead to errors and incompatibilities when you restore data in Titanium Backup. I think it was a few rom developers for the Galaxy Nexus that weaned me off of needing to backup every app's data. They claimed it was a good measure to help prevent errors that this might cause. Whether or not this is necessary, I don't know, but I know it can only help if you can manage to go without restoring data as much as possible.

Have you tried selecting the "Migrate system data" option in Titanium?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rdefino:
Migrate doesn't seem to help at all. I'll keep messing with it.

thanks

Anyone able to encrypt with this rom. I try to encrypt and the screen goes black for about 5mins, then it reboots and says encryption failed and I need to reset the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
I see in post #120 that IR is supposed to work. I have smart remote by anymote installed and it doesn't work. I have ktoonz kernel installed. Would that be why it doesn't work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 0reo:
Months ago I read that SmartRemote required different codes for AOSP roms and that Anymote would provide an update to correct the issue if you emailed them. It seemed to work for those that did.

Proximity Sensor Issue

I am having an issue with the Proximity Sensor on this ROM.

During the call, the screen stays black. When I try to turn the screen back on and click the dialer icon in the notifications, it goes black again...Anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Common AOSP/CM problem on the s4. Cleaning your proximity sensor might fix it, but of course there is obviously some software issue beneath it that no one has been able to fix or provide a work around for.

Back when I had a rezound Chad0989 wrote a calibration app that fixed the issue on it. It's possible the sensor just needs calibrated for cyanogen

Open up KTweaker and go to Tools then go to Prox Sensor Checker and hit that. Then tell us what you get for a number. It should be a fairly low number around 10-20 I believe... My numbers could be off but either way I bet yours is higher...

Indicating that it needs to be cleaned
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zeb carter:
I'm not having any problems that I can see but I don't see KTweaker or anything related to the kernal in setting or the app drawer. I remember seeing it on the 5/23 build but not the 5/30 build.

I sure my thoughts of how great 4.4.3 is running is just in my head. But I'm still just waiting anxiously for a stable release from you guys. Thanks for all the great work and time each of you put into making the Sammy an a truly enjoyable phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Im_Gumby:
Thanks

First of all, thanks for this rom. I switched from the GE one to solve my dialer and gps issues, which it did.

I am noticing, however, that "android system" is using an unusually large percentage of the battery.

On a full charge, with the phone in airplane mode, in 9 hours overnight it used 30% of the battery.

Any suggestions?

Nevermind... the GPS was on and draining.

Two other things: 1- Ti Backup keeps asking for USB debugging to be on, and I can't find it on this rom.

2- the usual rwmount for the system doesn't work. What would the command on this rom?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sticktodrum:
This is still a brilliant, smooth running ROM. Thank you for it, it's wonderful.

Bluetooth issues

Well it looks like I'm having Bluetooth audio streaming issues. It only happens on my pioneer DVD car stereos, both of them 2 years apart in model numbers. I get choppy audio sometimes and the connection drops all together sometimes. I took a logcat right after a connection drop if it helps figure out what's going on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rdefino:
Seems my camera is not working. I get unfortunately the camera has stopped. Any thoughts?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rdefino:
Hi, could I ask what update fixed your camera? I just loaded the rom and my camera will not work.

Should gravitybox work with this rom? I changed the battery and after a reboot it reverts back to the CM setting.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AzureShadow:
I am having audio issues with the latest release using the newest KT kernal. Randomly audio will just stop working, almost as if the phone went onto mute. It seems to requite either a reboot or playing music through a media player for audio to kick back on, and even then it only seems to do so temporarily.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] locofocos:
I'm loving this rom! This is truly the first rom where I can be happy with my customization without using xposed. I'm going without xposed in order to use ART, and this makes my phone FLY!!! I've gotten around 4.5 hours of screen on time from a year old battery (might have tweaked the brightness curve a bit, lol). That's a bit more than any TW rom. Nice. :cool:

I had a problem with the stock camera always force closing with ART enabled (can't say anything about it with dalvik). I was able to install the camera app from the latest CM11 nightly (cm-11-20140716-NIGHTLY-jflte.zip ), and this one is working fine with no force closes. HDR doesn't force close, like the Google camera from the play store does for me. Don't know if the pictures are HDR, but I'll try it out with a nice sunset some time.

I find it interesting that this camera doesn't have photosphere though. I can use the Google camera for when I want it, but I remember having it inside the AOSP camera betore.

UPDATE IN THE OP

08/05/2014 stable 2

M9 stable

Added Media_RW permissions to the permissions platform to add support for many third party apps (CM has yet to address this)

CM OTA disabled

Removed Calendar, grab it from the market so you can get updates via google

Edited a few strings in English US and English GB

Themes support for additional UI elements

Heads Up Notifications – Bug Fixes

Lockscreen – Allow doubletap to sleep when using secure keyguard

Torch – Improve performance

Safe Headset Volume – prompt when interfering with 3rd party device (Jawbone, Square, etc)

Center clock support

Event notification preference removed

Massive Settings clean up

Quick Settings – respect locale changes on additional tiles

Proximity Wake-Up support – prevent accidental wake-up of device by checking to see if proximity sensor is blocked (eg. Device is in a bag or pocket).

Spam notification filtering – Set notifications to auto-ignore based on content (perfect for those pesky games that want you to ‘Save 20% on our new game’). Long-press offending notification to set as ignored; manage in Privacy settings.

Settings Search – Additional improvements and highlighting

Data Usage Info – Add support for CDMA devices without sim cards

Bluetooth – Add additional A2DP profiles

More but I can better spend my time doing something else

Note: The CM camera works but it's not the best, SnapCam HDR (Paid app) from the market is much more stable and has a ton more features (these developers only focus on the 4.4 open source camera and making it better), I highly suggest doing what I do and removing the stock Camera and Gallery and using this awesome app which also includes a gallery with more features, myself and ktoonsez swear by it. The stock files are found in system/app.

also please use the provided gapps, they are literally perfect for this ROM

enjoy! I sure am

Dan I really don't think anything can top your GPE rom. Would you recommend this over it? What are the main features that this rom has that GPE doesn't?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
too many features to name, this is a very stable release mate

Can I use inverted MMS/contacts/dialer from GPE ROM thread on this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] IMMORTALKING69:
Just flashed Dan works great! I like the features brought from CM that GPE doesn't have. Few things, my HDR doesn't work on Google camera. I really love that camera and would like to know if there is a fix brewing? I like the CM style and imagine more of it will be implemented like am/pm for clock and such. Great work man thanks for the recommendation.

Oh, and I forgot to ask, is it recommended to use the developer modem NC5 or retail NC5? I assume developer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dwitmer1989:
It might be. The one thing I always do on aosp ROMs is go into developer options and reduce all the animation speed stuff to .5 instead of one and that really takes away a lot of the frame dropping that i can pick up with the naked eye anyhow. Both ROMs r killer!

UPDATE IN THE OP

08/10/2014 stable

-ADB shell fixed, script manager will now work on CM 11 M9

-Removed Proximity Wake feature from m9 as it does not work

-edited another string in settings>security

-not much else, last build as I think this is way more stable then any other CM build out there.

*dirty flash if coming from previous release is fine, just wipe caches first, no need to flash gapps unless full wiping*

enjoy this guys, you will not find a better m9 build for jflte, I will be using this up until Android L I imagine because I cannot find anything else to fix and I have a feeling m10 will have issues due to the new kernel stuff they did the last couple days
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] slayrs:
Dude loving the rom, I especially love the battery life. I was actually surprised at how good it was compared to your other gpe rom. Gonna dirty flash the new update and get back later. Hopefully it is just as nice as the previous release.

Update: so still loving it, but the only issue I'm having now is GPS lock. Made sure I had a lock before flashing but can't get one now. Any ideas? Tried wiping cache and fixing permissions. As well as a GPS fix app.

Update 2: just kidding, got it fixed. Just went out in a clear view haha, forget that I have to do that sometimes, the hospital I work at is quite large and blocks most signals. So yeah, no problems here. Keep it up!

Been running latest GPE and am very pleased. However, getting the itch to flash. Is there substantial benefits to this version compared to GPE (speed, bat. life, overall performance)? Does HDR work properly without Samsung drivers? Also, GPS seems to be working for everyone? Thanks Dan for all your hard work on the S4!

Anyone else have a problem with the GPS not locking? I came from Dans gpe rom and it worked fine. I use Googles reminders a lot to remind me at places (like to do something when I get home) and it isn't working. I noticed that if I go into maps and force it to find me it works. This morning I tried it to remind me to do something when I got to work. Nothing happened. When I got there and looked at maps it said I was still home. GPS is set on high accuracy.
