[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Adri67:
Hey everyone, I've been having some issues lately, which were my fault for not reading enough, but didn't take too long to fix such as connectivity issues, fixed by flashing the modem, and certain actions such as typing in the keyboard being very sluggish fixed by upgrading to NH7 firmware. However, I noticed some other problems I've been having which I haven't been able to solve yet, like the camera (not the stock S4 camera, that one works just fine) force closing upon booting my phone and when trying to open it, and i tried uninstalling it via Titanium backup (to my mistake),and got stuck in a bootloop and had to flash the firmware,root,recovery,and flash rom again, and now I've read disabling that camera will fix it so I'll try that later. Another issue i saw another forum member in this thread and I have was that whenever i reboot my phone it would unlock by a swipe, and not with a password like i had set it to, but when i would turn off the screen and back on the password unlock was there and worked just fine. My final problem is with the WiFi hotspot, so I'll turn it on and it'll work completely fine, but after a while I'll still be connected to my hotspot but it'll say i have no internet access, while on my other laptop it'll still be working AND have internet access. Then I found out it seems like the only fix for me was to turn off the hotspot from the phone and back on, however this is only when its connected and charging with the screen on. If i have the phone disconnected and not charging while i lose internet access I'll go back to the phone and i see that when i try turning back the screen on, it refuses to and I'll have to resort to pull out the battery and put it back in and then reboot.

Some fixes I saw suggested to make sure the bootloader matches, I found out I had to flash the NH7 firmware twice to get the bootloader to stick,which i did when i found out my bootloader didn't match, but it didn't solve anything for me unfortunately. I've tried dirty flashing on top of the rom, but I only dirty flashed when I had CWM, I switched to TWRP 2.8.1 after seeing a poster saying he had issues with CWM. So I'll try a dirty flash using TWRP soon.

A couple days ago when I was first flashing the NH7 firmware i was using a wonky usb cable (again, my own stupidity :p) and the phone got disconnected during the flash so I had to hold the cable in place for the remainder of it, and later on I flashed again but it got stuck at system.img.ext4 and this error came out after:

So I flashed one more time that night and everything went fine without any errors. I did the same thing last night: Flashed NH7 firmware twice, CF auto root, Flash TWRP 2.8.1, full wipe, flash Insane Hybrid V6. I still had the same issues with the camera, lockscreen, and hotspot, so I was wondering if my fail with odin and the cable getting disconnected caused this? I'm somewhat new to this so forgive me.

I'm currently on NH7 Bootloader, Baseband, PDA, and CSC with Insane Hybrid V6 and TWRP 2.8.1 and used odin 3.07 during all of this.

I'd be immensely grateful for any help :), besides those 3 issues which I'm sure are probably due to me doing something wrong ,this rom has been amazingly smooth, even transitions and swiping between apps feel amazing :p
