This does not seem to be a real problem.

Then why answer with nothing?

Keep your opinions to yourself please
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Yousvel:
When something is not broken, you don't fix it!

I am current using this rom and everything is just great. I've tried different other lollipop roms and always come back to that one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 02CWRX:
A couple friends of mine also tried this ROM and had the same thing.

The ODIN method worked for me, mostly. I came from 4.4.4. I ended up doing a full wipe and re-flashed using ODIN after a mistake on my part (restoring some information). Otherwise, it worked fine.

What do you mean?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] its_Khal:
Can one try the TWRP Method with CWM{Philz}???

TWRP would not stick on my device... Its just hang on the "TEAMWIN" splashscreen!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] det0xx:
Yeah is basically the same thing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] its_Khal:
Thanks, but i think Devs should always state if any other Recovery/Tool is compatible with Installations... Why state "TWRP Certain" when any other one is also compatible!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
I don't believe anyone really cares what you think since other than an opinion you have not contributed anything of value to the community!

But for everyone elses benefit not "every other one is compatible." I have only used the one specified in the OP and that is the only one with which I can guarantee success.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] its_Khal:
Yeah thanks...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pjedi:
I flashed this successfully using an older TWRP 2.7.0.1

I was getting errors trying to flash the NK2 modem/bootloader via Odin so I gave up and booted up normally and things worked fine! (aside from that security menu issue which was fixed by deleting that .so file mentioned in the first page of this thread)

I'm on the NB5 modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
I thought about removing that .so file from the rom but feared it may break other aspects of the rom. Let me know if you experience any issues that may be the result of removing that file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] alexvasquez29:
I've tried flashing alternate kernels to this rom to allow for OCing and I keep soft bricking my phone. Lucky for me, nandroid backups have saved me each time. I love this rom, I would just like to be able to push the processor a little bit. Any thoughts?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shaheer:
So to confirm this will work with the T-Mobile Galaxy S4 right?

Secondly, Can anyone confirm whether or not Google Play Movies downloads and plays movies in HD? It would be greatly appreciated!

Since this is based on GPE, there aren't many bugs correct. ;)

Thanks for the help in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HORiZUN:
Others confirm that this ROM works on SGH-M919, but I couldn't get it to boot. Always an error about unsuccessful encryption. I flashed the modem and bootloader from the op.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Yousvel:
I can confirm this rom works flawlessly on my T-Mobile s4. It is quite stable! Just make sure you follow the installation guide given in the OP. Both methods work for me. But I was already on the latest bootloader and modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
The above guy insists on reformatting to F2FS which apparently does not work with this ROM, assuming he knows what he is doing.

As long as you use the recommended recovery linked to the OP the ROM is guaranteed to work. As for bugs, other than root, system is 100% stock so not much to go wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Yousvel:
I would also recommend a factory reset after flashing as lollipop is a major update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shaheer:
Thanks for the help! I'll follow the OP exactly as it says. Also, could someone confirm if Google Play Movies plays/downloads in HD or not? This is the most important thing to me. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Yousvel:
Instead of writing "THANKS" ,when someone helps you, there is a thanks button you can press to show him you appreciate his help and that person will be encouraged to keep helping others.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shaheer:
He he, sorry about that, my fault. Being a developer I should keep that in mind myself. Appreciate the heads up. :o
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jnichols959:
I was running GPE 4.4 before following the TWRP method and it worked fine with my TMo S4. I actually started looking for a new ROM because I couldn't play downloaded HD movies in Google Play Movies & TV. Your question reminded me of this issue so I just rented and downloaded an HD movie. Sorry to report I was not able to play it past the 9 second mark. It played until 9 seconds, then back to 8, to 9, etc. until it eventually errored out. Wouldn't stream it either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shaheer:
Oh man, that was the main thing I was hoping that would work :(

Correct me if I am wrong, but according to what I understood, Play Movies Downloaded/Played in HD on the GPE 4.4? :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jnichols959:
I could not get Google Play Movies & TV HD movies to play in GPE 4.4. I never try non-HD movies but I may in the future. Some say casting to Chromecast will work but I lent mine to my parents so can't test that at the moment.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lan78691:
I have an Att Samsung s4 (sgh-1377) but recently switched over to the T-Mobile network. Should/can I use T-Mobile bootloader and modem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Are movies working on stock twz NK2?

EDIT: I did a couple quick searches on this and it seems this is a bug that has affected all GPE ports to our device for sometime, however it does not seem to be an issue on an actual I9505G device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pjedi:
So far this installation has been flawless with the exception of streaming music via Bluetooth to my Car. It cuts out quite often now.

Prior to 5.0 I was on KitKat 4.4.4 and it never cut out.

The only thing I can think of is that I had saved my 4.4.4 Bluetooth pairing via Titanium Backup prior to installing this 5.0. So today I'll try deleting the pairing and re-pairing the phone to the car from scratch and see if this fixes the issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
We have not heard of many bluetooth issues with this ROM so I suspect re-pairing will resolve the issue but let us know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jnichols959:
I have the same frequent, very short duration cutouts when streaming Play Music to a Bluetooth speaker. I started with a completely fresh install so, sadly, I doubt it's an issue with your restored setting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pjedi:
The re-pairing didn't work.

Apparently it's a common issue with Lollipop on various phones.

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79488

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79347

I've now cleared the Bluetooth Sharing CACHE and DATA and will test again in the car later.

I wonder if this issue is more common than we think but people here are either not reporting it or not listening to music enough via Bluetooth....?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Yep, I never use BT and others may not as well which may explain the lack of complaints.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jnichols959:
I used AdBlock Remover by Marty McFly and it did the trick for me. Requires root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pjedi:
I've tried out Danvdh's 5.0.1 ROM and the audio problems are even worse on my phone as the stuttering happens both with and without BlueTooth!

However, when I set the phone to Airplane mode, it seems to fix the audio problem when not using BlueTooth on Danvdh's ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TeChNoC4AzY:
Will this ROM be updated to 5.0.1-5.0.2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pjedi:
I'm also on the M919V Canadian variant and have been getting the "Auth Fail" error when trying to update my NB5 modem to NK2 via Odin.

I've also read that not having an updated NK2 modem is what is likely causing my music audio problems. (it makes sense because the audio problems disappear when I switch to Airplane mode).

Grrr! I read somewhere that MobileOdin may be able to bypass the Secure Check but sounds risky.

Are you also getting audio music lag/skips?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rebel1699:
Mobile Odin on play store says "IMPORTANT NOTICE: Do not use on recent 5.0 or 4.4 firmwares yet". That is directly from chainfire, so Im not sure it is worth the risk until updated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] slooky:
I think our problem is our phones actually are slightly different than the M919 (no V) so it causes it to fail every time we try to install. We'll likely just have to wait until a 5.0 samsung rom is officially released in Canada and grab the modem from that (and yeah, I'd probably advise against forcing a modem it doesn't like).

Music lag / skips? Haven't seemed to have experienced those. Maybe only with FLAC and I'm pretty positive it only happens when the cellular reception is poor and the phone tries a bit harder to find a signal (but that happened with one of my older phones too).

I have a m919v in Nextel and im running latest kk modem and bootloader just tried ibastid lollipop rom and I use a bluetooth headphones and had no issues. Just went back to tw kk cause of issues with folder mount

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pjedi:
Funny you mention Nextel, I'm also on the m919v variant but WIND mobile in Canada. However this weekend I updated my bootloader/modem to the latest one posted on SamMobile which happens to be a Nextel build (M919VWXUFNJ1) which was posted Oct 2014. But it's a 4.4.2 and not 4.4.4 like the acclaimed NK2.

Unfortunately the music stuttering issues still occur but appear less frequent or severe. And as mentioned, it seems like the issues completely disappear when I set it to airplane mode. It's happening on all lollipop ROMs I've tried. It was 100% fine with KitKat.

I have Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919 (T-Mobile obviously) currently on 4.4.4

If I wanted to use Google Play Edition 5.0.1 ROM, should I install this first?

You don't need to install this first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pjedi:
For anyone wondering, I finally managed to fix my music/bluetooth issues by changing my kernel governor from OnDemand to Intelliactive.

I know it doesn't apply to this ROM here since it's on a different Kernel, but what this tells us is the problem was at the kernel level and not modem/bootloader or anything else.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] slooky:
That's great! What kernel / kernel tweaker are you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pjedi:
Googy_max kernel / Stweaks. (I'm on Danvdh's ROM)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] slooky:
Hey just wanted to say thanks! I'm using this rom (the one from this thread) and installed Googy-max's kernel and used the settings you recommended: and poof, no more audio skips!

Amazing! Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] repete153:
Googy-max

Where did you download the kernal and how did you install it? I can't even back up my ROM correctly as I'm getting Unable to mount /data in TWRP.

Hello,

Is mhl to HDMI working on this ROM? Many of the deodexed ROMs break this feature and this is a feature I need. Ive been using a modded Stock ROM as a result.

If it works or if there is a fix for it, I would love to try this ROM.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
Awfully small for stock....

I'm guessing its severely debloated?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
As the title indicates it is 100% stock. GPE OS are much smaller than touchwiz.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
I understand the title says completely stock but that doesn't keep the devs here from debloating and calling it stock lol... I've never really heard of gpe before since I've always stuck with tw based ROMs...but that is good to know,I'm dling as we speak and going to give this a shot out of curiosity

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

just noticed that it was mentioned that this rom has gapps in it so i'm guessing it's aosp not tw....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] youngwake:
This is a Stock Android. NO touchwiz. The same type of rom you would expect from a Nexus product. It is based off of the Galaxy S4 Google Edition.

Best rom for M919 (stock wise)---imo
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nirrik:
Definitely the cleanest.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
too bad for me... i flashed it before i realized this and really liked it, very fast, seemed very stable, but i can't live without wi-fi calling, it's a deal breaker unfortunately... earlier in the thread i saw that it was confirmed nb4 works well with the rom and i immediately assumed nb4 modem = wi-fi calling, alas. the good news is i'm having a lot of fun getting to know sickness's insane rom, it's a great alternative, and has wfc... i also noticed that "system memory" (shown in storage) is considerably lower with sickness's rom than this rom, 6.3gb vs 9+, guess it's because it's been debloated?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] winco209:
What's the difference between this ROM and vergin ROM????

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Panamon:
Hey man, I think I remember you from my Vibrant days. Some really smart people spent a lot of their lives trying to fix that Samsung GPS turd.

Beyond the obvious Wi-Fi calling, I'd be curious, and it might be helpful to others considering a GPE ROM, if you could list some specific TW apps and features that you miss.

The new responsiveness of my phone is night and day compared to the many TW ones I've tried. T-Mobile coverage is good at home and work so I don't need Wi-Fi calling and I never used any of the proprietary TW apps so I'm not missing them. The smartstay, swipe and all that always seemed sort of gimmicky to me so I never used them for long.

Whenever I switch ROMS, I use App2Zip and all the apps I normally use come with. You know the saying, there's an app for that. Phone, BT and GPS all work fine and I've had no random reboots, (unlike many of the CM ROMS I've tried since my S1). That's my experience and of course YMMV.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qixiixiq:
OTA

Will this rom get OTAs? :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serendipityguy:
Now this list may not be exclusive to TW roms, but these are the features that I have

Panamon, I dont miss them - I can't live without them!

TW dialer that has this great Call Rejection Feature that is not common with other Roms

TW has a great camera / video with 12 different shooting modes that put my mini cannon to shame

TW has a Blocker mode that I use when I am in meetings

TW has a Blocker mode that I use when I am in meetings

TW roms has the Power Saver mode that I just set and forget, helps me squeeze battery life longer

TW roms has the nifty LED indicator for 100% charge, low charge notifications and such

TW rom has a unique way of bring a message from texting right to the home screen, other types of roms, you have to search for it or look for another indicator to let you know that you have received a message.

TW has a developers option that you can tweak the rom further to shut off animations and such, not sure if this only with TW, but there are a boat load of options that can be tweaked once you enable it.

Now this list may not be exclusive to TW roms, but these are the features that I have count on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nirrik:
You should make a nandroid backup and try this rom out, I was the same way and now the only thing I miss is wifi calling. If you don't like it just restore the backup. and ypu can get juice defender to replace powersaver mode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
OTA updates require that you have the I9505G stock modem, non-hlos, and recovery installed. This ROM does not include these therefore OTA updates will fail.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Panamon:
I hear ya on the blocking mode. I do like that and have yet to find a direct replacement. Anyone have any suggestions?

For call rejection I use RCB (Root Call Blocker). I use this for mildly irritating to how the f did they get my number contacts. The advantage here is that it can be set to NOT send them to voice mail, it just kills their call and they have no options :good:, plus it expertly rejects any texts from my blacklisters as well. for the other less annoying contacts I have a silent ringtone that I set them up with. My list of fools is small so setting them up after an install is no big deal and RCB backs up to Dropbox so it sets back up very quickly.

For meetings and such I use Shush! to silence my ringer for a default or adjustable amount of time after which it remembers to turn the ringer back on for me. I use this one several times a day.

I get ridiculous battery life as I have the big 7500mAh Hyperion battery. 2+ days normal to heavy use easy without needing to use any battery tweaks. Bonus is that it makes the phone easier for me to hold and the TPU case that it comes with has saved my phone on more than one occasion. It was $40 and worth every penny.

The camera as far as I can tell takes good pics and videos. Bonus is that with GPE ROMS I can swipe to the left from my secure lock screen and the cameras are ready to shoot. Sammy disables this and the Exposed module I used to use to get this feature back doesn't work anymore on the newer TW ROMS.

I rarely look to the LED to get info. I use Exposed and XuiMod module to get a battery bar across the top. If the bar gets red then it's my own fault because It's been days since I've charged the battery. If the screen is off I know it's asleep and hardly using any battery.

Since my Vibrant days I learned to love NoLED. Shows contact pics and reminds me every 10 minutes, (my choice), that I have calls, messages or emails to attend to.

Developer Options exist, I think you have to click the build number several time to activate the option, but animation scales and all that are there. I haven't needed to adjust my animations because the phone is much more responsive than with TW ROMs.

Again, at least for me, the lightness of the GPE ROMS are great and worth the price of admission. Exposed modules work correctly and I use a buttload of them.

Here is a screenshot of the modules I use. (XuiMod didn't make it into the capture.)
