OH . MY . GOD

I just installed this and cannot believe my eyes. This is the first early CM that I have used that has run so well!

First, let me say that I tried CWM and it flashed the ROM fine but it would not flash the PA GAPPS. So I had to make the switch to TWRP. On a side note to TWRP, the only successful install for that was through ODIN.

After flashing TWRP, I was able to flash the ROM plus the PA GAPPS.

Everything works for me. GPS / BT / SMS... etc

It has yet to crash. Battery drain is no different than the latest CM11.

Nice work!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] BradGrenz:
Flashed the 12-31 build and I'm getting a high battery drain from miscellaneous again. Otherwise seems to work very well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] LOWCOUNTRYDAVE:
BT is working great here. Only problem I've had is camera app won't open, just goes black. I used slim 5.0 beta gapps, could this be the issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rjm83:
Use Google camera from the play store. Has more features and works with this build.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rjm83:
NFC, BT, Android wear all confirmed along with SMS. Thanks again!

Edit to add: immediately after posting this BT started acting up. Will not connect with sync and when I try to re pair it says invalid pin or pass code. Now BT share keeps falling
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] edufur:
I just started noticing this too. I really don't want to flash back to CM11 though. :(

Also, anyone know if I am doing the smart lock wrong or if it is just bugged? I have it set to be safe at home but it still requires my pin after it has been idle for a length of time.

Also,

I realize that nivron is not taking any credit for work... as I understand that the work is done by the CM team, but he is doing something great here... he IS assembling all this stuff for us and giving us a build. Does that not at least earn him a "recognized contributor?"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nivron:
I'll take a look at it tomorrow and hopefully have a new build to tweak the BT stuff. Hope everyone had a great New Year's!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nivron:
I had a big battery drain the first few hours as well. I let it be until the phone was fully charged. It seems to be much better for me now. It also doesn't get as warm.

I'd love go try to work some better battery life in. If you have some BetterBatteryStats logs maybe I can see if there's something I can do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] lasswellt:
I found that even with cm11 that the Bluetooth issues were kernel related. Other builds complain about this too. Googly kernel claims to have fixed the issues but is only for GPE and not ready for CM12 yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] badreaper:
01/02 build has no root?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Zeroskhaos:
You have to enable in developer settings
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] badreaper:
Thanks! Is this something new or different? I've never had to do that before. But I R a newbie. :silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Zeroskhaos:
Yea it's kinda new, it's been happening on all the latest roms I've been working with on lollipop
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] badreaper:
Perfect, that took care of it. It's also a good learning experience. Thanks again! :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] edufur:
so wait... if I uninstall SuperSU and then disable root in the dev options, will my phone not appear as having been rooted? I.E. will I be able to install work stuff / mobile iron?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] edufur:
big drain in the office

So, I noticed that I was getting a MASSIVE drain on battery in the office. My previous CM11 did not experience this. An item of note is that we have a hotspot here, which is what always saved my battery in the past... because without it, my phone would struggle to communicate as the building only gets 1x to the tower. But even with my hotspot on and functional, the drain is huge. When I look at the batter screen, it shows miscellaneous.

Thoughts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] BradGrenz:
So I love the progress that's been made on this ROM, and I want to stay on Lollipop but I've discovered that I'm not able to get my new Red Pocket service to run with this installed. In TW based ROMs it's possible to change my L720T from CDMA to GSM, but in CM12 it refuses to connect to anything but Sprint. It there an app or tweak I can use to modify those settings or am I stuck rolling back?

SMS error

Hey guys is anyone else getting SMS not sent with hangout on 1/6 build. I was using previous builds and this was fixed but seem to come back
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nivron:
Yeah I noticed that. Will be fixed tomorrow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rjm83:
Has the "bluetooth share stopping" issue been fixed. I am running the 12/31 build. I am ready to flash 1/5 or 1/7 to fix this issue as long as SMS is still working. Thanks

---------- Post added at 07:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 AM ----------

Where do I find this? Sorry for the noob question. TIA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nivron:
I'm not sure about the bluetooth share stopping error. I haven't experienced that personally. Can you give more details?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nivron:
The 2015-01-07 build is up and the SMS bug is fixed again. Sorry -- one of my co-maintaners for another device was making some changes and it messed with the build.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rjm83:
Running the 1/5 build since 7a CST and no BT errors so far. On the 12/31 build, BT would drop even though it was "on". A message would appear saying Bluetooth Share has stopped. This would happen seemingly randomly but always when more than one device was connected.

Final Build Uploaded

Hey guys -- I upgraded to the Note 4 this weekend. Therefore the S4 is being ODIN'd to stock so we can give it to a relative. The final build (from me) has been uploaded to MEGA. Enjoy!

If there are any critical issues with this build, since it isn't tested, I will fix and re-build. Otherwise I am going to be spending my time working on stuff for the Note 4.

Thanks for enjoying the ROM! I believe that soon it will be "official" via noobnl, per some things I've been seeing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] countryteazer:
Hi Nivron,

Good luck with the Note 4. I'm incredibly appreciative of your builds and the time you invested in making them work so well. You'll definitely be missed around here. May I ask one question though? Can you tell me how you got sms working on CM12? I've tried other aosp/cm12 related ROMS and can't get sms to work any of them. Is the fix within CM source code or is there something special that you're doing to fix it? Would love to figure this out and any information would get GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance!

_CT
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nivron:
Actually, the SMS bug is easy. You just replace libril.so and libsec-ril.so with the blobs from the stock NG2 ROM. If anyone else is building or trying to build, the proprietary blob repositories that are out there don't include the right blobs to fix the SMS error.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jacktownlane:
Google Play Services

gapps installs every single app except Google Play and Google play services.

I have tried 3 different sources for gapps with no success. I'm going to switch back to a GPE ROM if nobody has any solution for this.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rjm83:
Flash an older build with gapps then dirty flash newer build. I had google play with my early December flash.

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------

My battery is plummeting and all I can see is miscellaneous. I haven't had this issue in a while. Does anyone have the fix?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] digital81:
Anyone having trouble with Data and text on PagePlus on this Rom? Flashed back to CM11 and it works fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nivron:
New Build

Saw that theme support has come out -- so I made a new build. This should also fix the issue installing the larger PA gapps and possibly some Bluetooth improvements as well.

It's available for download from MEGA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] broncobuddha:
Sweet. Thanks for throwing up one last one.

I've experienced random bluetooth sharing issues as well. Mostly with my sync to my car. Some builds have done it others have not. I had it happen this morning on 1/12's build. Flashing today's now.

Thanks again.

*Edit: Google Play services keeps crashing. Can't even get to the play store. Says check my connection and retry. I wiped dalvik and cache prior to flashing and then again after. I've rebooted twice since and its still acting funny.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] al_b:
Play services crashing here as well. Got play store too open recognized me as subscriber, but no history available.

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

Oops forgot to say thanks for your hard work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nivron:
Have you tried clearing data for the play store and Google Services Framework? Possibly try a clean flash. Also, which gapps are you using? If using the PA gapps, try the Slim ones, or vice versa.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] broncobuddha:
A clean flash took care of it. I basically nandroided back to the original version of this rom, restored the 5.0 beta gapps, then flashed 1/16 and it seems to work well.

Only weird thing now, is that when running on network provided date and time, with my correct time zone, it will often change the time to something completely random. So, last night at 11PM, its said it was 5PM. For the time being, I'm just running manually entered date and time.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Luigi91:
Bluetooth issues still with connecting to my car. Crashes randomly. Are there currently ANY 5.0+ Roms that have good working BT?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dcillusions77:
Gpe and anteresone roms are pretty good might even be a few others
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Crossrocker:
Anyone here use poweramp? I think because of some mounting issues, its not able to scan my library. Is there a solution for fixing the lollipop mount issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DonToolBag:
I keep on checking the status of CM12 because I've been a big CM user for years, but the wifi/bluetooth issues in the last few months (CM11 & CM12) drove me away. The GPE ROM is rock solid with none of those problems. Highly recommend! (This isn't a thread crap, just passing along my experience.)

DTB
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dcillusions77:
Its what I'm on now :thumbsup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nivron:
After a PM'd request, I have added a flashable SMS fix to the OP. This should be flashable on any AOSP based ROM that has the SMS Not Sent error.

I haven't tested the ZIP file, so use at your own risk, and let me know if it works for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] unomedmen1:
Thank you!!! I appreciate you getting this done for me and within minutes of requesting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nivron:
I am probably going to build at least a weekly version of the ROM since we are not official yet. Any time I see some good fixes on Gerrit I will make a new version. I don't want my jfltespr friends to stop enjoying the CM goodness.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] badreaper:
The SMS fix install fails for me. :crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nivron:
Can you give more details? Does it give you an error message? Are you using TWRP or CWM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] badreaper:
TWRP with an error message. I'll have to boot back into recovery if you need the exact message. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nivron:
No need -- I found it -- had a typo.

New version uploaded to OP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] badreaper:
I will give it a shot when I get a few minutes. Thanks!! :good:

New Build

A new build is up on MEGA.

I edited the 2nd post so I can put in changelogs of device-specific changes and any important base CM changes that I think are relevant.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] unomedmen1:
So its the same file but with fixed version uploaded?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nivron:
Correct
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] badreaper:
The SMS fix flashed perfectly. Confirmed no text not sent errors in stock messaging app. Thanks!:cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jefbal99:
Has anyone tried Signal Check Pro on this ROM? When I was on CM11, I got bad GCI/PCI/TAC data in the SCP app and it was due to the data that the OS was providing via API. I'm guessing that the Modem isn't in sync with that Android is expecting as the modem is built with a 4.4.2 OS version. All the Samsung devices I've seen go to 4.4.4 and beyond correctly report GCI, PCI, and TAC.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] swiggs98:
Really appreciate these updates. Just an FYI for others, the home button and long button presses different work for me on 1-21.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] edufur:
my phone seems to be getting warmer since the 1/21 update

:(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] princebabyeater:
Just flashed the latest build and now none of my Bluetooth devices connect, any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] clshores:
I had a clean flash and it detected and connected to mine almost instantly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] princebabyeater:
Well I had been dirty flashing, maybe I need to try a clean flash. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ahl395:
What are you guys doing to get gapps working?

As soon as I flash gapps I get constant force closes as soon as the phone boots up. I have tried a few different versions for the last week and different gapps from different sites/sources. Have the same issue every time.

The only solution I've read in the thread is flashing the original version of the ROM, then gapps, and then dirty flashing to the latest version?

Any help is appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
I flashed the slim 5.0 gapps beta with no issues

×Rebel Nation×
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ahl395:
In any special order? I tried the Slim 5.0 "Normal" gapps and still am getting constant FCs of all the gapps upon booting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
The normal order, boot recovery (using TWRP), do a full wipe, reboot back into recovery, flash ROM, then flash gapps, flashed supersu, then reboot, if you want you can pm me the gapps you're using & I can do it all over to see if it's working for me

×Rebel Nation×
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ahl395:
Yep, followed that exactly and still FCing.

Well... I thought that whole " flash aTW rom , get a GPS lock and flash this ROM" thing was all mumbo jumbo,but it works! GPS,instant lock, running bluethot for over 2 hours no hiccups at all, mms working just fine thank you for asking.the only thing I could not get working was V4A but flashed alucard's kernel and is all good. Thank you for this awesome rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] clshores:
Hey, has anyone successfully used Google Pay or any NFC app/service? I haven't been able to make it work at all with CM12.

Thanks for any feedback.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pan.droid:
I'm so confused. What do I do?

1. Install Touchwiz 4.4.2?

2. Boot up

3. Enable GPS?

4. Open maps, get lock?

5. Boot to recovery?

6. Flash new rom, wipe everything?

7. Profit?

Is there a way to pull this off without having to start from scratch? Perhaps by using MultiRom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] matraca:
Actually, I didn't flashed a tw rom, I just restored a Slimkat 4.4.4 backup that I had working flawlessly and installed GPS status and toolbox from the play store and made sure I had a great GPS lock ( 19 out of 21), then booted into recovery straight away, cleaned cache, dalvik cache, data and system twice, then flashed ROM, wiped dalvik and cache again, flashed Gapps, cleaned dalvik and cache again, flashed supersu and rebooted system. I didn't touched the phone for like 15 min. As soon as I was able to go to play store, before anything else I installed GPS status and toolbox to make sure GPS worked fine, then sent an MMS to make sure MMS worked fine.that is it, good luck !

Also, if you use V4A I would recommend using this kernel over here, you can also raise your volumes and tweak the notification light and all kinds of things, just don't mess with the GPS zone if you got it working.

2015-01-26 build uploaded to MEGA. There's some global Bluetooth changes since last version. Not sure that there's too much else important in it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] matraca:
latest 01/26 is working great, no bugs so far with the exception of camera disconecting once in a while.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rjm83:
Still have the occasional Bluetooth share has stopped error.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] matraca:
Did your dirty flashed? I use a couple of Bluetooth headsets almost every day and never had a hiccup.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Luigi91:
I haven't tested BT yet, but not too hopeful. From clean flash I have lot's of issues with camera though. Front facing camera won't work at all, and rear camera will only take 1 pic until i restart the app, then only 1 pic again, each time.

Also, HUGE misc battery drain....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] edufur:
I have done a clean flash to the latest 1-26 along with latest GAPPS and something has gone horribly wrong. My phone is having serious input lag issues. Whether swiping or typing, it frequently has response delay. Almost as if there is a background process hogging up a lot of CPU time.

I have done all sorts of wipes to try to resolve and nothing is working.

May have to go back to CM11 :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Luigi91:
After reboot, camera issues are fixed. BT has been tested and DOES have issues. massive MISC battery drain still there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] matraca:
I did notice that miscellaneous battery drain but since I am not far from a charger It doesn't bother me, as for the camera issue I hope it gets sortd out soon, I have tried camera fv5 and snap camera hdr and same problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rjm83:
I have been using the Google camera app from the play store. I find it has more controls and no crashing issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Luigi91:
The biggest thing I would like to see fixed is the Bluetooth. It works perfectly in the GPE ROM, so my question is, is there anyway to copy the code/drivers/whatever is needed to make it work correctly?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] IsaiahFeldt:
Why hasn't our device gotten official cm12 support? Every Galaxy S4 EXCEPT Sprint has a official download. (Look at device list : http://www.cmxlog.com/12/). Does anyone know why the sprint variant hasn't gotten any love?

I'd guess that a maintainer hasn't stepped up to dev/build for the Sprint variant.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] IsaiahFeldt:
I nominate nivron to be the new maintainer :)

And I see the picture shows the old school messaging and browser, is that what is on here or is it the new lollipop ones now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shadowcliffs:
That's weird then. Have you done a dirty flash? Mine is a clean flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KFloyd:
nivron, Excellent work - very smooth, I seem to get a better signal in my house (virtually a Faraday cage) than I did on CM10/11. I am getting the crazy Miscellaneous drain but digging the rest. Now I just need to learn how to tweak L. I liked my old weather lockscreen widget. Getting SMS, MMS without issue. Haven't used the phone yet but who uses voice?

Besides the Misc drain, I did have Setting crash a few times only AFTER applying a Dark theme and a dashcam app is flaky (sometimes is perfect, other times won't even record). Removed the theme and will see if setting stays stable but I'm pretty sure I'm sticking with this - hope the Misc Drain gets resolved though ;)

Keep up the great work and thank you!!

I've got it on the 1/26 build - my APN list is empty but I can get to it. Don't care it's empty, I get LTE where previously I could barely 1X the other day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
Nah I always clean flash, you can try pulling the apn.config from another ROM & pushing it back to this rom, fix permission then reboot & see if it shows up

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Beezer80:
I'm getting Force Closes on Themes, otherwise running well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KFloyd:
Like a previous poster - GPS not working for me. Is there anyway to get it working without starting over (flash TW/whatever, GPS lock, wipe, flash CM12)?

If I do that, after the final CM12 flash can I restore a TWRP backup without resetting/losing the GPS?

GPS and Themes are the only 2 things not working for me; bluetooth has been solid.

Thanks again nivron, I'll wait on a changelog before trying the new ROM because everything is working so well! :good:
