Surprised at how stable this build is. Been using it for a few hours straight and haven't had any apps crash, no FCs and no random reboots. Titanium backup will restore apps if you flash the new SuperSu beta 2.27. Only issue I have is not being able to use the home button to wake the device. Not really a problem just very used to it. overall a great build for anybody anxious to try out 5.0.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dgmoodey:
I was having battery draining on this ROM for a while, as the phone was always awake. However, I did a bit of researching, and I found the problem.

To fix if you have the battery drain:

1. Enable developer settings

2. Scroll down and find the "nuplayer (experimental)" setting

3. UNCHECK the setting

4. Have a nice day :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] omgdz:
I've downloaded the SuperSu beta, but instructions say it must be applied to a non rooted stock image. Is that what you did? Or can I get away with simply flashing this over this cm12 alpha?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ogkillergreen:
I just downloaded it and flashed it. After that my titanium restore hangup problem was solved. Also make sure you have the updated titanium. I believe it's 6.2. 0
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tracerlx:
This is good to know. I had massive battery drain the first time around. I'm going to give this anothet shot and see where it goes from there.

Thanks for the input!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Drizzythebiker:
Does anyone know a way of making the home button wake up the phone??

And how do I go about getting access to the SD card?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dcd1182:
we merged a change to set this default but i suspect anyone who hasnt wiped data since will retain the old setting

this fixed my battery drain as well, thanks

to anyone installing clean here on out it would be nice to know what your default looks like
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ISITBRICKED:
This is pretty dang slick. Thanks!

Just noticed there's no performance tab in settings or am I just not seeing it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] omgdz:
Thanks, but...

Thanks for the quick reply. I wasn't as lucky as you. :(

I backed up through CMW and then flashed SuperSU and restarted. I kept getting a message box that said "Cyanogenmod Account has stopped. <OK>". Pressing OK just made the box go away for a moment before reappearing. I was able to get to settings and clear the Cyanogenmod Acccount app, but I couldn't force stop it or disable it, so I went back to recovery and restored. Unfortunately, I got the same Cyanogenmod Account message. I wiped data and reflashed everything, and now after a couple hours of google restoring apps, I'm back in business. Now there is no Cyanogenmod Account app. This may have just been a fluke, or you may have been lucky, but I wanted to warn others just in case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ogkillergreen:
What version of CWM are you using
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mankeluvsit:
is this stable enough for a DD?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ISITBRICKED:
Seems like it to me. Used it all night long, I rely on my phone working flawlessly for my job and it didnt give me any trouble...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dcd1182:
nothing about this is stable
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ISITBRICKED:
Why do you say that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] omgdz:
DD? maybe. Stable? no.

It's in active development. It's an alpha release. The OP is a Cyanogenmod developer who is bringing Lollipop to our device(s). He is going to be adding and testing all kinds of features, and at least some of them will be buggy. Instability and possible breakage are what you get when you do beta testing, and the OP needs us to give him feedback so that the finished product is as bug-free and stable as possible. The trade-off is we get to be the first to see the bright and shiny new features that CM is offering.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ISITBRICKED:
Oh I definitely realize all of that I just found it to be pretty stable at this point. I haven't had anything crash, no force closes, no random reboots, no problems with calls, WiFi , SMS, I haven't had ANY problems. I've been flashing phones since the original Motorola droid I've seen Roms so unstable you can't even use them. Not the case here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ISITBRICKED:
Camera not working? Opens but doesn't take pictures.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stealth Pyro:
Not here to complain, only stating that I flashed and on boot I constantly get a loop of "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped." error messages. Hitting OK just keeps it looping. I've tried clean wipe/re-flash, not sure what's going on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Drizzythebiker:
I use google camera and it takes pictures just fine. Give it a shot??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ISITBRICKED:
Thanks I'm using "a better camera" which is working fine. Was just commenting that the cam provided doesnt take pictures.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RanbirS:
found some bug in Settings App.

- First Image: Some icons are hard to see (white icons)

- Second Image: Battery Information does not display

- Third Image: Advance Settings does not work (I do not know whats in there).

- When the screen is off, and you want to turn it on, the "home" button does not work, does not wake the screen from sleep.

- NFC does not work.

- For the screenshot, mind how I can screenshot in Android instead of using the app from Play Store.

- Quick Unlock for Lock Screen seems to be missing.

- There is no setup wizard (like setting up wifi, google account, etc)

- Automatic Time seems to be incorrect (had to hard set the time)

Pretty much this app is stable, no random reboot, or such.

Thanks for your effort into this project.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jonahtriangle:
Camera did not work for me either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kjherr:
Just a few minor issues so far. I never got a setup wizard. There were the hints but never setup. I put in my Google account manually. I almost missed work this morning because my auto time zone sets me ahead 14 or so hours randomly. I set it manually now and it seems to be ok. I got one reboot on lockscreen using the dialer quick unlock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dcd1182:
i need to know the date on your build and what variant when you report something please

also to clarify a few things for everyone

i have no intention to continue uploading builds long term. there are other people here who will do that once issues are worked out.

i am not a 'developer' or affiliated with cm.

i do submit patches for this device to cm. there are other people who contribute for this device as well.

the builds on this thread include those changes and my focus is the device tree.

also

you can run whatever you want on your device, have fun. but in order to be helpful here you need to be testing 'clean':

dont install some other kernel

dont restore a backup

do wipe data

do use the same gapps, im using this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=21354

camera should be working 100%

nfc should be working but i dont have anything to test it with.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kjherr:
Sounds good to me. I just want to help out. It is awesome to finally be able to play around with lollipop. I am on the 11/23 build. I think the file said 11/24 though when I downloaded. Tmobile m919. I did a full wipe and am using same kernel and gapps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jonahtriangle:
I was using 11-22 build full wipe and everything no apps intalled. Camera would just freeze on me when i pressed the capture button.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] archangeles:
Im usining todays build, and it works fine, i had to do a full wipe because dirty flashing made the louncher crash, but other than that it works fine except the privacy and super user icons in settings are white.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ISITBRICKED:
I am on 1124 build full wipe tmo variant

Edit: sometimes camera is working sometimes not(both stock and 3rd party) like the camera apps function they appear to take pictures(flash etc) but sometimes no picture is actually taken.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] phillipmckinnish:
wifi

For so reason on my phone I can only get 5g wifi if I use TW roms any AOSP roms and I cant get 5g wifi...Also if I flash 9505 roms I get the same outcome...Does anyone

know what I can do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bpo157:
Doing the updates can you go from 11/22 to11/24 and dirty flash or do you recommend full wipes. I am not having any problems with the 11/24. I installed the rom, gaps and supersu. rebooted waited 5 mins and rebooted again. This is a nice rom right from the start.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] roly99:
Running latest 11/24 build and so far I am highly impressed. Calls are working fine, camera, hangouts, sms, you name it. Only thing I haven't tested is Bluetooth. Looks good and performance is blazing. Great progress so far!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mwhitt:
11/24 build, only problem so far is setting multiple alarms with alarm clock, I'll set one 4am,4:30am,5am and 6am then my 4:30 turns to another 4am
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] williambs:
What do you need to install this rom?

I have TWRP and did a full wipe and my install attempt failed. What will I need to do to get this rom installed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Drizzythebiker:
I had the exact same problem. Turns out I needed to update the version of twrp I was using.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] H3adru5H:
Well everything for me seemed to work. Camera and GPS worked.

I had to go back to KK for one little irking issue. For some reason my signal reception was worse. I don't have the best signal in my house but on official GPE KK I get at least 2 bars sitting on my couch. On CM 12 I would completely lose signal.

Anyone have any suggestions? KK looks and feels so dated after finally getting my hands on LP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Drizzythebiker:
I guess the problem with my sd card was completely on my side. Got a different sd of a different branding and everything seems good to go. Still wish my home button could wake the phone but for now the power button will do. Other than that this rom seems better than the GPE KK rom I was using with better battery on top of all that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] williambs:
What version of TWRP are you running dizzybiker?

I am running 2.8.1.0 right now.

Thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Drizzythebiker:
Hmmm.... exact same. although it did make me do a factory resest before it would flash the rom successfully.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mwhitt:
11/24 build - Problem #2, can only use BT or WiFi but not both at same time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] williambs:
I'll try again and male sure I do A factory reset. The error mentioned something about an error with jetf.. but don't remember the exact error context.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sherrillface:
Use philz recovery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] demonr6:
Installed and running the 11/24 build with the suggested GAPPS package. So far the only thing I have noticed is when setting up Gmail and it asks for the 2-step on one occasion even though it asked and I never added the confirmation code it skipped it and carried on fine. It would not sync mail however and I could not get that to work so I deleted the account and was finally able to get it to work. I have two Gmail accounts and the second worked fine.

WiFi is working fine, on my home network the speed test reads 36 Mbps down which is what I expected and close to what I was getting on my previous build, upload speed was the same as my network max.

Not much more I can do since it does not have proper root access so all the other apps and things I normally install won't work. Battery seems okay so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Err I accidentally thanked your post... You get a freebee

Anyways, was your other card a 64gb and or formatted to Exfat? If so that's why. Exfat isn't working at the moment.

Like a champ. Thanks! Now to install the wakelock detector and find out wth is burning up my battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ISITBRICKED:
NP. As for battery did you go to settings>developer options>media and uncheck use NuPlayer(experimental)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] demonr6:
Sure did, something else is up I think. I just need to pinpoint it. I really don't have anything much other than the stock and GAPPS plus an additonal calendar, forum, photo editor, maps and authenticator apps.. aside from that a battery saver, busy box, greenify and a system monitor. It might need a few days to settle in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] imanoob:
The battery drain only occurs when wifi is on for me and the problem is similar to the one that users reported before the Nexus 5 update was delayed. That and the choppy Bluetooth are the only two problems that I have been having.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ISITBRICKED:
My battery is at 16% hasn't been charged in 30 hours but I have the anker 7800mah but i think it should last longer than that..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] demonr6:
Welp I am sitting at 70% with 2h 28m off the charger which is pretty bad. I have GSAM battery monitor on, the phone radio and wifi are the two with the most time at 2.37h and 2.19h respectively. Held awake clocks in at 2.08h but still don't know what is the culprit behind that. I am going to plug back into the charger when it gets to 50% and turn off the wifi to see how the battery life is. I would hate to think that the wifi is the case but my wife has the Nexus 5 which updated this week and she has complained how terrible the battery life is now. She was down to less than 30% charge by 4p after 10h and it sits on her desk at work where she occasionally gets a text from me and replies to it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] imanoob:
Yea I'm fairly certain that is what is causing it b/c I was running wakelock detector and saw hundreds of wakeups from wifi. Issue 189 was the same issue and they solved it. Might have been by updating blobs IDK. Until we can get the solution probably can't be fixed on our device. I've also noticed that bluetooth and wifi do not work together anymore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] demonr6:
Found one item of interest that I did not see posted yet. If I power off the phone then plug the phone into the wall charger or USB cable to my computer. I get the grey battery animation, the phone reboots. If I am plugged into the computer I get the notification the device is plugged in. The rub is that I cannot access the phone although I can see the screen. I can see incoming calls, notifications. The buttons all work but it is as if the touch screen is no longer working. I can see on the desktop that the mobile network is not up as there are zero bars. There is also lollipop icon on the upper left of the status bar - edit: it's the USB debugging notification . The only way to resolve this is by pulling the battery. I can repeat this every time. Has anyone else experienced this?

EDIT: I tried to break my wife's phone much to my disappointment when I turn the phone off and plug it into the charger all I get is the charging animation and it does not reboot. Rebooting it does not result in the same issue I am having either. I am going to try throwing it against the wall to see if that breaks it but the wife may not agree to that right off the bat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dcd1182:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] demonr6:
Her Nexus 5? I was just hoping I could break it.. I know it would not suffer the same issue as it is a clean, QA'ed build.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dcd1182:
i assumed it was a jf. we will look at charging mode, low priority. who actually charges with their phone off?!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] demonr6:
I turn mine off.. habit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Black Box:
Just flashed the 11/24 build and everything is working great. I didn't get the setup wizard upon first boot, a quick factory reset fixed that. I can use bluetooth and wifi at the same time, tried with google play music. No problems other than the bluetooth issue I have had with the earlier builds. All audio over bluetooth plays .5 ms slow, then the music seems to skip ahead, and then plays .5 ms slow again. I use bluetooth a lot in my car and headphones, so I can't run this daily, which is a bummer. :( Great work though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] imanoob:
Ah. I'll do a wipe later today or tomorrow when ever I get a chance to see if I can use both bluetooth and wifi together. Just to be sure what frequency is your AP 2.4GHz or 5GHz?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] demonr6:
WiFi and bluetooth both enabled and working fine. I was able to connect to the Samsung with my iPad and once connected I accessed the Play Store from the Samsung to verify I was getting a good Internet connection.

]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] imanoob:
Can you try connecting to a 2.4GHz band and checking if they both still work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Vicious89:
i can confirm Bluetooth and WiFi both work at the same time. Matter of fact this rom is pretty smooth even though the dev said its far from stable. I have had no problems or hiccups even though most apps are not updated for 5.0 lollipop. I also highly recommend using philz touch recovery over any other recovery. The problems i have heard from a lot of people flashing roms and getting bootloops and the roms being broken. Philz Touch recovery 6. something or the latest has never failed me and it even has the option to fix root if it doesn't work. TWRP has too many problems and too many versions to jump through just to get it to work right.

P.S I would like to thank the OP dcd for sharing this with us and patching it up. Good Looks!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] demonr6:
Connected to the 2.4GHz using the same method as before with the 5GHz and same results. All good. I transferred a couple of contacts from the iPad over which I did not even test that before but I would guess it is not any different.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] H3adru5H:
Bump?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dcd1182:
theres now a patch for LTE signal strength being reported incorrectly, but i havent seen it happen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] archangeles:
I can't seem to get it to teather properly, everything works except the device thats connected reports no internet connection.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] demonr6:
Good news on the battery front lines. After getting a full charge last night I unplugged the phone and let it sit there on the nightstand overnight. The alarm went of as scheduled and as of right now, 10h and 5m later there is 87% charge remaining.

The WiFi was disabled which was what we know the culprit is. Phone radio was active 10h 05m so pretty much the entire time. The Android OS and Android System were the two primaries in app consumption of battery at about 9% with Google Services next consuming a very little at about 2%. Sadly this means the WiFi needs to stay off unless you need it or suffer the consequences. I had mobile data enabled during this also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ISITBRICKED:
How do I turn off NFC? It is grayed out in the on position but i dont ever use it. Its the highest battery use app overnight.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Drizzythebiker:
Is there any hope of this actually being able to be fixed in the relative future?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] imanoob:
I mean if we can figure out how Google fixed we could, but if they replaced the blobs we will have to wait until atleast the gpe rom comes out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Drizzythebiker:
Not sure if this is appropriate or not but this guy seems to be working on a build of Lollipop that actually has some interesting fixes for things like exfat. If yall are interested.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mexicandroid:
I could not turn my NFC on when I did a clean install.

Also when I had turned my Wi-Fi on at the rom setup it worked fine but after I connected my Bluetooth LG Tone headphones the Wi-Fi turned off and my Bluetooth was not working. I had to reboot my phone for Wi-Fi to start working again. Other than that it was just silky smooth, I loved the animations, can't wait for future releases. Thanks for sharing OP

Also for anyone having trouble for CM12 not reading their External SD card, try doing a slow reformat to NFTS with Windows, after that TWRP won't be able to detect how much storage space it has but just reformat it with TWRP and it should be good. I tried this because at first CM12 would not recognize it but CM11 roms would with no problem.

But off course make a makeup before reformatting, it's pretty obvious but just a reminder.
