Has one noticed that the Save Power option does not hold it set value when you reboot

Has one noticed that the Save Power option does not hold it set value when you reboot?

Same as Mobile and GPS network . . .

Is this is a bug or a bad flash?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Drizzythebiker:
BTW... I love this rom. I've been looking for a pure GPE experience for as long as I've had that phone. I only hope you put out an L build when it drops. You do that and I promise to make a good sized donation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] arocker:
Working great with ART runtime on the M919N S4 MetroPCS variant. Thanks for this! Great work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Drizzythebiker:
How's ART working out for everyone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nirrik:
yea, stock tethering. My kindle fire hooks right up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crxdc:
Loving it

Ok I love this rom but i have one question on it. When you are connected to say LTE and then you get a call the signal bar drops to nothing even though i get to talk. I cant use the internet while I am using the phone. My old rom would swap to 4g from the LTE before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Drizzythebiker:
Had the weirdest issue yesterday where I kept getting a shared library error and certain apps ceased to function. But I just reflashed the rom and I'm going to run in dalvik for the first couple of days to see how things go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RickoT:
Samsung Apps?

I LOVE THIS ROM! For reals, I love a super clean light rom and this is it. My only question is where can I get some of the missing Samsung apps? Like a working SView with caller ID (I've tried some apps off the market place but they seem to compete with the one installed here) and the power bar app (or the samsung notification bar) I've looked all over but I cant seem to find these anywhere. Suggestions would be much appreciated!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nirrik:
Unfortunately you would need a Samsung rom for most if not all of that. Your best bet would be to find a debloated 4.4 tw rom with aroma installer so you could choose which of those features you wanted. The whole point behind a gpe is no bloatware from other companies just pure vanilla android. Yes you lose some bells and whistles but its way more stable and fast. Like I miss the reminders for unread txt messages and the ability to have individualized txt ringtones for contacts. Luckily for me the last part got put in to hangouts finally.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RickoT:
I'm cool with losing out on some of the bigger stuff like that, really the only thing I care about is the sview stuff, I either want to figure out why the built in one doesnt have the caller ID piece, or how to completely disable it so I can use an app from the market place. As for the power bar stuff I found an app that does that called notification toggle, its not the best but it works well enough for me ...

[How-To] Update to GPE Android 5.0 UDNL3

Just added a method to the OP to update to 5.0.0. Enjoy!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] limen123:
Quick question. I'm coming from Paranoid Kitkat. If I backup and flash the 5.0 stock, would the data backup be compatible with 5.0? I really don't feel like starting completely fresh. I've been switching from different ROMs that are compatible for about half a year now, so I haven't really gotten a full fresh start in a while. :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
I have not tested that so I don't know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Drizzythebiker:
Does everything work doing it like this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Yes, this is a method I have successfully been using on locked bootloader devices for sometime now. We have been forced to get creative.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Drizzythebiker:
Just flashed it and it worked perfect. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bpo157:
When he says wipe everything in twrp, does he mean internal storage and usb also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] achilles08:
no need to wipe internal and usb...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Yousvel:
Perfect!

You are the man, bro! Everything is perfect here. Thanks a million for the rom! Blessings!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tokenpoke:
Confirmed working on t-mobile variant. Phone model shows up *cosmetically* as gpe in settings, but dont freak, Identifies as tmo to play store and other services.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] youngwake:
no mirrors found on androidfilehost!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metalingus903:
Second that, I9505G_XAR_UCNF3_to_UDNL3_Update.zip has no mirrors :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
I will upload to mega while AFH gets it together.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Mirror added to OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metalingus903:
Thanks for the mirror!

So, flashed everything according to the steps with twrp but system isn't booting...it just boots to recovery. What might be the issue here?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
You may have wiped prior to flashing the update.zip. Try again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metalingus903:
Hmm, just tried again - wiped everything except sd card, flashed 4.4.4 first then the update file. Still no good.

Any other suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
I see you have been posting in moto and htc threads. You are flashing this on an m919 correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metalingus903:
Yep, I own a Moto G - gf saw Android 5 and got 'jealous' and wanted it on her tmobile s4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Then don't know what to tell you. Works flawlessly on my m919.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metalingus903:
Just flashed your 4.4.4 without the update and it's booting and working just fine.

Maybe the mega upload was no bueno or my download was no bueno. Hmm, AFH is now working so I'm going to try downloading it from there and see if that works.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Yousvel:
It is working flawlessly on my T-mobile sgh-m919 as well. No issues at all except youtube that lags sometimes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Let me know and i will reupload if necessary.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hast:
Same issue. Tried it several times and same result. Tried formatting system as well. Tried booting up after installation of the first 4.4.4 zip before flashing the update and all resulted in booting into recovery.

Edit: Installing new recovery did the trick. Thank you very much muiz.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ISITBRICKED:
Works on my T-Mobile 919. Why is this not touchwiz though? Thought this was stock ota?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Removed the mega mirror now that AFH is working. Also added more detail on what exactly to wipe (I thought these were a given).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
GPE = Google play edition. It is stock ota
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ISITBRICKED:
Oh duh so its aosp then?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Yousvel:
Yes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metalingus903:
Hey! So I was able to flash the rom and everythings looking great! (The problem was I was using outdated twrp).

I am getting FC when trying to access security in settings (as mentioned earlier) and also when trying to connect to a secured wifi network. Data also seems to be very slow - even though it says LTE.

Thanks!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
I had a hunch some people were using older versions of TWRP and I updated the OP earlier today requiring the latest version. As for security settings force closing, if you are referring to Post# 6 from June 2014 that pertained to the 4.4.2 release at that time which is no longer relevant to this thread.

I don't know why you are having issues but 5.0 continues to run flawlessly on my device therefore I suggest that everyone else stick to directions in the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Enjoy!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metalingus903:
Hey, thanks for the quick reply once again! You are just fantastic, thank you again. I didn't realize I was using an outdated twrp - until i realized haha and then I saw OP and I went uh duhh haha

I was able to eradicate the FC - by doing just that mentioned in post #6 (deleting the keystore file).

EDIT: So, maybe just me...but lte is slow and camera doesn't save pictures - video, panaroma and sphere fc's

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Yousvel:
Update the camera from playstore and it will work great!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Yousvel:
Battery life is great!

This is my screenshots
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HORiZUN:
Jfltetmo. Latest TWRP with f2fs. Wiped dalvik, cache, data, and system. Installed the ROM. Flashed the update. Flashed the supersu. Reboot, says encryption unsuccessful. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Which bootloader version are you on?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HORiZUN:
Was on MDL until I updated to the NB4 baseband to help with network drops on the lollipop ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
I believe that is the problem, 5.0 seems to require the 4.4.4 bootloader. I am going to upload a version of the update.zip that will update everyone's bootloader and modem/non-hlos to NK2 so that all users have a consistent experience. I will call it out in a notes section.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HORiZUN:
Awesome. I'll keep an eye out for the update. Good looking out. Will there be any issues with a baseband downgrade for people in my situation?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Modem downgrades should be fine but I have not checked the qfuse counter in the various bootloaders so don't know if bootloader downgrades will be possible but don't see any advantage to staying on an outdated bootloader.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HORiZUN:
I haven't touched anything aside from the baseband since I got the phone over a year ago. I've bounced between jellybean, kitkat, and now lollipop with no issues until I grabbed this rom. Really looking forward to the gpe love, as the CyanogenMod 12 is still unofficial for our device, and has several bugs that deter it from being used as a daily driver, for me anyways.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Fortunately 5.0 is solid on our device. Anyway, the new file is up. Enjoy!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tcdos:
Can I use your bootloader/modem upgrade file to upgrade my bootloader and modem to be used with Dan's GPE ROM? What is the difference between this and Dan's GPE ROM?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2539361
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Yes, once you update your bootloader and modem you can flash any ROM.

This is 100% Stock, Dan's ROM is customized. All up to user preference as to which to use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tcdos:
So if I wanted to upgrade my bootloader and modem using your file, would I flash Dan's GPE ROM first and then flash your file, or would it be the other way around? Thanks for your help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
No, you would need to follow my process from start to finish.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tcdos:
So I would:

1. Make certain that you are using the latest TWRP.

2. Perform and Advanced Wipe and wipe Dalvick Cache, System, Data, and Cache.

3. Flash the Dan's GPE ROM

4. Press "Home" then flash the I9505G_XAR_UCNF3_to_UDNL3_Update.zip(updated 12/14) but do not wipe prior to flashing!

5. Press "Home" again and flash the BETA-SuperSU-v2.39.zip

6. Reboot and Enjoy!

Is this correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
No, that is not what I said. Can you post your questions in Q&A, someone is likely to walk you through there. This is now off topic here. thx.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanzerGeist:
Not sure what I'm missing, but I'm curious if anything stands out.

I have flashed the latest TWRP.

I have wiped all the points you've indicated.

I have downloaded and verified the md5sum for the files in OP (~1 hr ago)

I have flashed them in the order indicated in OP. (Both via adb sideload, and installing from files on external sd)

And every time I just get it to boot back into recovery.

Anything I'm missing? Anything I should check for in TWRP?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
The default TWRP v2.8.1.0 settings should be fine. Do the files flash correctly in twrp or does twrp give an error msg? Also, I just uploaded an updated update.zip about 1 1/2hrs ago. Make sure you are using the latest file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] VICosPhi:
That was fast! Thank you sir
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Just ran a test on the updated update.zip file. Even though TWRP shows that it flashed the NK2 bootloader and modem it may not actually be doing so. What this means is that anyone not on a 4.4.4 bootloader may continue to experience some issues, e.g. security settings. I will see if I can resolve.

EDIT: Just added an additional step/file to the OP requiring all users update their bootloader and modem to NK2(4.4.4). If you do not follow all of the steps in the OP do not bother requesting any assistance in this thread. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HORiZUN:
I had to flash the modem twice with Odin to get it to stick. Not sure if that helps the situation..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanzerGeist:
I have done the following:

Via Odin updated to the latest 4.4.4 firmware (for the M919, this is NH7).

Via Odin flashed the latest TWRP.

Downloaded and verified the MD5 sums of the files in OP.

Placed the files on the external SD card in my device.

Wiped everything indicated in OP.

Flashed the files in the order given in OP (not wiping between each flash).

Rebooted.

And I still wind up back at recovery.

Watching the process on TWRP, there are no thrown errors. Not sure what else to check, especially since I went "blank slate" with the Odin flash.

If you have any ideas, I'd be open to them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
The only variable here is that I am on NK2 and you are on NH7. Try beginning from NK2 via Odin and try again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbmg:
Do we need Odin for the nk2 file you posted? I'm on the road lol. Been wanting to upgrade but if I need Odin I'm screwed until I get back home.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Yes, thanks for the heads up. I have updated my instructions in the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] spootym:
So I seem to have gotten this all installed and its seems to be working great except for a couple of things. Attempting to uninstall any app causes a restart immediately after clicking Ok to uninstall. This auto-restart takes maybe a third of the time as a normal startup. Also I cannot enter Security in the Settings. It force closes when selected in the Settings menu. I reinstalled a bunch of apps at the initial setup so I'll try wiping again and try it fresh.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
I just updated the instructions in the OP requiring that everyone update their bootloader and modem to NK2. It seems that 5.0 is dependent on the NK2 bootloader. Everything should work after that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanzerGeist:
Well, gave it a try after Odin'ing NK2. No luck.

Not sure what else might be preventing this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
One other user had a similar issue where it would boot to recovery but it turned out he was using a previous version of TWRP. I don't know what the issue is in your case but suspect has to do with TWRP and its install. Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbackdoor:
Thanks for a great contribution. Amazing ROM. I have tried just about any release of 5 both cm and aosp, this is the only one that stick with LTE. I'm using SGH-M919 on AT&T network. It has NH7 bootloader. I didn't do anything special, just followed ops instruction. Wipe, flashed 444, flashed update 5, flashed SUPERSU. After the first reboot, I lost LTE connection. I dialed *#*#4636#*#* then changed LTE CDMA TO LTE CDMA GSM. Battery is insanely good. Been running for 16 hrs. No recharge yet.

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

For system apps removal, you can use root Explorer or ROM tool box.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
No worries, thank you. And I agree google did good this time. I usually am not a big fan of AOSP but this thing is cool.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbmg:
Hey bud. Is there anyway you could separate the modem from the boot loader and make a flashable zip so I can run the new modem on the nh7 boot loader?

Now that I think of it I would have to have Odin to flash the modem to, huh?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbackdoor:
[MENTION=2348949]PanzerGeist[/MENTION] the only time I encountered the issue you described was using Dan's rom (it's also great) but I couldn't get LTE to stick. The I flashed a different kernel. Then the bootloop back to recovery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshuaadude:
What app did you use to delete that keystore file? I tried es file explorer and I couldn't delete it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanzerGeist:
Alright. May have actually gotten this to work with the following steps.

1) Using Odin 3.07, flash NH7

2) Using Odin 3.07, flash TWRP 2.8.1.0 (http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/jfltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-jfltetmo.tar)

3) Using Odin 3.07, flash NK2 (found in OP)

4) Follow steps indicated in OP

5) Reboot

After a few minutes, you should boot into a working install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
I suspect it has more to do with twrp than anything else. After it would not flash the bootloader or modem I decided to decompile it. I see a couple of things that caught my attention. I will look further into it as time permits.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanzerGeist:
Very cool.

Well, thanks again for the help and sanity check. I'm looking forward to running this through its paces in the next few days.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] spootym:
That fixed it. Thanks much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshuaadude:
I followed the directions on OP and flashed the NK2 modem via Odin. Took roughly 5 minutes to load up and I have wifi, but I still experience FC every time I select Security in the settings menu.

Edit: Tried the whole method again, still the same results. Experiencing FC every time I select security, and phone will reboot every time I try to uninstall an app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ISITBRICKED:
Flashed nk boot/modem in Odin twice but its still showing baseband nh7 in about phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Yes, sometimes the Odin modem flash will take multiple attempts to stick. Try again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ISITBRICKED:
Was just about to edit my post got it now. I unchecked auto reboot flashed then manually rebooted back to download flashed again with auto reboot unchecked rebooted and golden.

Alternative "Full-Odin" Method

Just added an alternative "full-odin" update method to the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshuaadude:

OH YES WE GOLDEN INDEED. YEEEEHAWW
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ma678:
May I ask whether I am able to flash the modem and boot loader on my i337M?

I'm on NI2 boot loader and NK1 modem right now.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HORiZUN:
Don't do this...

So I'm in NYC with the wife for a few more days and got excited. I'm away from the PC (wife has a mac, but yeah...) and I used mobile odin to flash the bootloader/modem package. "This is dangerous, etc." Me: Clicks ok, anyways. Reboot to a "recovery loading" screen, but it never loads. No operating system, no recovery. Sweet..... Ok, so I get the wife's mac out, install heimdall, download my pit file from the phone in download mode. Download latest TWRP. Flash it, reboot. Recovery mode! Awesome....sort of.

No internal sd locations mount, I force mount system and wipe. Flash a rom from my extsd. Reboot. Yay, lots of force closes! Reboot to recovery. Format data. Format cache. Reboot. Now I have a working phone, but I would like to restore to stock with odin to iron out these bugs when I get home. I need Odin to flash the bootloader and modem, but that will have to wait. I suggest that everyone steer clear of mobile odin when you don't have a pc to fall back on. Had it not been for heimdall and the wife's mac, I wouldn't have a phone for the next week haha!

Looking forward to flashing this ROM, but unless I can do it on heimdall, this will have to wait for me..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ISITBRICKED:
Ya I made the mistake of trying to update a friends s3 at work once with mobile odin that wouldn't take ota updates. It wouldn't go past Samsung so he was out of a phone till I went home and used proper Odin on PC to fix it. Good advice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] invisiblewave:
Installing without firmware update

Being quite happy with the performance of my NB4 firmware, and also being too lazy to double-check everything prior to updating it again, I decided to give this a try without the update, and to my surprise it was both very simple and very good. I was coming from dandvh's fantastic GPE rom, which I'll probably return to once the bluetooth kernel issues are sorted out.

All I did was flash the first ROM zip, with a full wipe. Once it booted (first boot takes a while, after that it's even faster at booting that before), I couldn't turn on wifi (bluetooth started ok though), but a reboot fixed that. I also encountered the security settings issue, but deleting the file named on the first page of the thread (system/lib/hw and I don't recall the exact filename) using ES (don't forget to turn root explorer on in settings->tools, otherwise it won't delete the file) worked perfectly.

So, as far as I can tell, everything now works fine, phonecalls, wifi, bluetooth, and I'm getting the "update available" notification. Not sure yet whether to install the update OTA since I don't know if it'll update the firmware too. Somehow, the scrolling seems to be even smoother now, and so far the recent vibration problem seems to have disappeared. Oh, and the Hangouts Voice sms interface now works correctly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rebel1699:
[MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION]. To make modems and bootloaders stick better on these, untick auto reboot in odin, and flash bl/bb. When done, pull battery. Put battery back in amd boot directly to download. Odin flash again. Bl/bb will stick.

I'm running NH7 bb/bl, and it odin fine using this method.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DanteSSS333:
If I flash this via Odin on my GT-I9505 (Stock 4.4.2 with Knox Bootloader at 0x0), it will trigger Knox, since it flashes a new bootloader and it will wipe my data, right? And the modem included works with european carriers? Just want to be sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nkhater:
Titanium says unwritable folder on sdcard
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Thank you, I believe the modem sticks more often than not but I will add this note to the OP if the problem becomes pervasive in this thread. BTW, so this is where you went after the I337? Good to hear from you and thanks again for all of your work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ahat:
I installed this ROM reading all instructions n everything went fine. But now I have observed internal storage of my cell phone which shows only 9.5gb . is it ohk? Because this ROM is quite small in size compared to tw ROMs. Screenshot is also attached.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gurnted:
Yes the rom is smaller, but it does not repartition your device /system will still be big enough to fit a TW rom. AFAIK nobody has bothered to make a custom .pit file. So you are pretty much out of luck on that space unless you feel so inclined to move some user apps from /data to /system
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Yes, 5.0 is solid on our device. And bluetooth issues on any other 5.0 rom can be due to a number things but I suspect the likely cause is the updater script and not the GPE 5.0 kernel as it seems to run flawless here.
