So I just installed this ROM. Everything works fine and looks great, but I can't seem to get the clock to display 12 hour time. Even under Interface -> Clock when I toggle AM/PM to 'Normal' or 'Small' the clock remains in 24-hour format. Is this a bug or am I looking at the wrong option panel?

Stuck on 'Starting apps'

Hey guys,

after dirty-flashing the rom from 02/10/2014, everything worked great just until now. After switching the user (which I configured before flashing), I did not have a home screen. I figured the reason is that I did not install the stock launcher while dirty-flashing. Beforehand, I installed Nova from the play store and used it with the primary user just fine, the secondary user (to which I just switched) used the stock launcher. With the stock launcher missing, the secondary user wouldn't work. So I reflashed the very same build but I made sure to install the stock launcher this time.

Long story short - after dirty-flashing the second time, the system booted up, reconfigured the installed apps automatically (as usual after flashing) and got stuck with the message 'Starting apps'. Do you guys have any ideas on how to proceed?

I have a working nandroid backup from when I first installed the rom (the previous build) and I made another backup from the system that is stuck. Obviously I'd like to restore my data, but neither titanium pro, nor rom toolbox pro, nor nandroid manager free were able to restore my application data successfully on my previous system, even though they claimed to have done so.

Phone is jfltexx, international i9505, TWRP is 2.8.4

All backups are from the same TWRP

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Finally, Titanium Backup was able to restore my apps from the most recent nandroid backup, no data loss. I went back to the previous backup. For the other guys I can only give the following advice:

- perform a nandroid backup before dirty flashing - better safe then sorry

- ALWAYS turn on airplane mode before backing up via nandroid. If you want to restore whatsapp/kakaotalk/whatever from a more recent nandroid, but have to fall back to the previous one, this prevents you from receiving unexpected text messages on your old and non-up-to-date messengers

- use Titanium Backup for your apps, it's much more reliable than extracting them from a nandroid backup

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TagPiper:
I'm also have the Sprint SPH-L720 and I've been running this ROM since it was first available on 12-24-2014. I've flashed and been using every version as my daily driver since then and I've never had any issues with the device turning off. The only thing I could recommend is to make sure you're using the latest TWRP recovery v.2.8.4.0 and to AVOID DIRTY FLASHING. I always make sure to check for newer versions of both TWRP and SuperSU before I do a FULL WIPE of my device and start flashing. Also, I've always been using the Googy Kernel that has been included with the ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S1eghart:
Beware of the latest version of TWRP, version 2.8.5.0. It causes some issues on the S4 AFAIK. :)

Lol, I thought I was just caught running an outdated version of TWRP right after I went running my mouth about keeping TWRP updated.

On another note, has anyone got the new alpha version of xposed framework for lollipop working yet? I don't have any issues with boot loops after flashing the zip and installing the apk but it says the framework is not installed and I cannot get any modules to activate.

Google Authenticator Problem

First of all, since I am new here, I cannot post links, so please excuse me if it is a bit annoying to follow the links with copy+paste...

Since I have encountered the Google Authenticator crash problem like some others, but none of the methods to fix this problem worked for me, I have found another solution I'd like to share. Here is the source: lifeisabug.com/google-authenticator-crashes-account-setup-workaround/

This is the instruction ((c) by nico @ lifeisabug.com):

Open Authenticator but do NOT press the “Begin setup” button.

Instead, select “setup account” from the option menu.

Then from another device, go to accounts.google.com/b/0/SmsAuthSettings, select “Move to a different phone” and scan the QR code. (Note by CharlyDelta: I had to click "Refresh Method" or something like that before I could see the link for "Move to a different phone", since I have not logged in for a long time... Just in case you're wondering like I did)

If Google Authenticator is not set up as PRIMARY WAY YOU RECEIVE CODES, set it up.

Sometimes reboots when unlocking

Hey guys,

First of all, this ROM is just amazing! Really good work. Well, I Do have one issue anyway and I would be very happy to have this resolved... Sometimes (1-2 times a day with average use) when I unlock the phone (slide to unlock), the unlock screen will fade, but freeze in the last microseconds of the animation (there is a small visible artefact on the notification bar). Shortly after that, the phone will reboot... It is quite annoying, but I don't know how I could debug this or provide log information...

I am running a clean fresh Flash of the most recent lollipop 5.0.1 build with the googy kernel.

Edit: here is the content of last_kmsg if it helps... : pastebin.com/Jv4S9zrh

How can I find the cause of this issue? Anyone experiencing something similar? Or anyone maybe even got a fix for this?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recipientsuperior:
I've been using this ROM as my daily driver for the past 2 months, and, for the most part, I'm loving it.

Currently I'm on the 20150210 build with googymax kernel (clean flashed, apps restored with data), but I've had one WiFi issue that has been consistently bothering me ever since the first Lollipop build of this ROM that I flashed last December. I think that this might be more of a Lollipop problem as opposed to something going on with the ROM or on my end, since 5.1 is apparently coming with a slew of WiFi fixes.

My phone has trouble maintaining a stable Internet connection through the WiFi router at work. Connecting through WiFi works ok, but after an hour or so, regardless of whether or not the phone is on sleep mode, my phone loses Internet connectivity. WIFi is still connected: I can still access the router GUI, but no Internet access. With KitKat, I had no such issues.

This problem is also (so far) isolated to my work router. I don't have this problem when I'm on my home network.

Has anyone else experienced something like this?

First and foremost, thank you very much for this rom.

I have flashed it on Saturday and until yesterday evening everything was fine. Yesterday, while trying a Skype call, I found out that the person I was talking to wasn't able to hear me because my voice was completely distorted.

Googy-Max Stweaks AC charge question

Hey guys,

Got the rom running, everything seems to be working properly. Only thing I'm worried about is the charge settings. I have the samsung charger that came with the phone, (2 amps). But sometimes I charge it with other chargers around the house, or a friends charger at their place which isn't the samsung charger. Usually these are random 1 amp chargers.

Is it safe to run 1900 mA settings when using plugs that are less than 2 amp? Not going to damage anything, is it? I think regular samsung rom would lower the current when you use the phone while charging as well? Does this adjust it according to what you're doing with the phone?

I've used 1a chargers and power banks on my device before. Aside from the slower charge rate, using 1a chargers shouldn't hurt your phone regardless of your kernel charge settings.

Random reboots after unlocking screen

Hey Guys, I have new information for my random reboot problem... I know the information above doesnt help much, so I ran aLogrec through the night and I got a crash recorded. I have cut the log so the file isn't to big. I hope I did not cut anything important. If so, let me know.

Here is the pastebin to the log: pastebin.com/Ya9x8fbZ (Sorry, still cant post links)

Here is a small analysis from me so you find the relevant lines faster:

First of all, on line 725 suddenly every service starts to crash. The first crash is a few lines above, on line 714 (mount)

By the way, this time the reboot didn't happen just in time when I was unlocking the screen, but very shortly after. I had a new email and wanted to read it, so I double tapped the email to enter gmail directly, which worked fine. While loading the email the reboot occured.

I don't know what it is, but on line 711 there is some process reporting a memory violation... Maybe this triggered the crash? I don't know.

Well, in this file there is a total of 3 FATAL EXCEPTIONs: lines 807, 1103 and 1152. Also, there is a "fatal signal" on line 1140 (I dont know what this is, but doesn't sound healthy aswell...)

This is all I can read from the log... I still can't tell what caused the crash, and when the crash occured exactly, since there are 3 fatal exceptions shortly after another. But after the 3rd fatal exception, the logs are getting normal again, which looks like the phone rebooted then. Maybe the last fatal exception caused the reboot....

I hope anyone can help me with this. I don't know if this is a problem of this rom, or something with my installation.

Again, I want to note, that my phone was freshly installed from scratch. The recovery was fresh (TWRP newest) and also the ROM is the latest release. I did not use any backup at all, not even TB backups for apps.

Sorry for the long post, but I want to provide as much information as possible for anyone willing to help me :)

Best greetings :)

I also have this problem; I even had it with stock ROM, and not only for my Galaxy S4, but also for my Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S2... I really don't know if this is common, but every phone I ever had acted like this :D I can't speak for everyone, but at least from everything I know, this is normal. I don't know if this is even a bug or intention....

Long story short; it's definetly not the problem of this ROM imho
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stam112:
I didn't have this problem before I flashed this ROM so I guess it is a problem of this ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharlyDelta:
I can't imagine how this could be ROM related, since at the time you press the power button the phone doesn't even know what to boot. It also could be Windows 95 or whatever... The problem is, that the phone doesn't even react on pressing the power button, right?

I can only imagine that flashing TWRP caused this, but I'm not certain. Did you even flash TWRP or did you already got it installed before?

However, in my opinion the ROM is the least possible cause of this behaviour... It's more likely that it is something much closer to the hardware

also, you could try flashing your latest firmware from here, just choose your country and operator (the 'latest' drop down tab). it is a I9505, right? this will update your modem etc to the latest. then re-root and flash this ROM. Wifi should all be working after that
