Several questions...

I've updated to the 04-19-2015 release and this makes us download several packages (zips) depending on the modification we want instead of being listed inside the AROMA installer. I'm having issues with getting the AOSP or Motorola Gallery to show up (whilst Photos from Google won't go away).

Another issue is that i've upgraded my sim card for 4G/LTE service, what should be the proper configuration on the SPH-L720 for band selection (do i have to change the subscription (RUIM/SIM or NV)?

Any ideas or comments are highly appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MikeWjF:
Make sure it's on NV.

Anyone fixed or having face with this issue??

What happened to this ROM??? No customization really. No Gallery app. Photos app crashes on launch. Why'd I upgrade lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nostrings:
Go to Apps-all apps-Media service, then clear data, disable and re-enable it. Restart.

I have a crap-ton of pictures and videos in my internal and external SD cards so after a flash, it goes all wonky trying to settle & consolidate.

I hope this works for you.

---------- Post added at 07:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 AM ----------

If you want customization - whatever that means exactly - then you might want to go to an AOSP ROM.

There is a gallery up - a couple of them at least. As for photos app - try my previous post and see if it works for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] piedo:
Unfortunately nothing has changed, i try to clear data, disable re-enable Media storage service and reboot my phone but Photos app still crash Immeditely.

If it could help i try various kind of flash, also trying to completely wipe and re-install this rom from factory default and not using like an update.

Any other suggestions??

This rom is based on the Google Play Edition for the i9505G soooo that means no mods I don't ever remembering it having any
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Achristocat:
I recently DL'd and installed the latest and greatest. FULL wipe and format (twice) and FULL re-install without restoration of ANYTHING, except for what Google restored.

After three days of full charge / full discharge (down to at least 3 percent left in battery) using the hulk kernel - settings were: governor - intelliactive, CPU max freq. - 1566, I/O - fiops, internal read ahead -1024, SD Storage read ahead - 1024, disabled android logger..

With light usage - a few games of backgammon, various texts throughout the day, emails, some Facebook notification, some web / facebooking a few phone calls, I was lucky if I had 10 percent battery left by 5:30 pm with about 7-9 percent drop per hour doing nothing...

DL'd latest googymax kernel (GoogyMax3_GE5-Kernel_1.3.0_CWM) and installed with same settings yesterday.

With same basic usage, it's now noon, and I am at 83 percent battery. I will update later, but so far, seems like the Googymax kernel is doing me WAY better for battery life and is STILL snappy as hell even with the freq. throttled...So far so good! More later...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ROMAddiction:
So, you need to check out the options you have to download via the OTA App. In the changelog Danvdh noted he modified things so he can make more frequent updates to necessary areas and not have to make a full new download. All the options for customization are in the OTA app to download and install individually.

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

I believe that is in reference to things like giving you options for one of the various music players, different material themes, and DSP apps. For a GPE ROM there's a lot of options for the user to select, originally speaking, in the Aroma Installer.

Anyone dirty-flashed the latest build? Any issues?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] lance007:
I dirty flash the last build has just given me problems the camera in focus mode
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iivisionii:
Dirty flashed. Only problem I had was email kept crashing so I had to clear the data in the email program and reinput all my email addresses. I'm not sure if it was related since it worked at first then the problem started later in teh day.

Otherwise, it seems faster and snappier than the last version. Battery life may be slightly lower, but I'm still waiting to see how it does since I only installed it today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
Looking at all the reports of photos crashing and whatnot, I am actually quite happy I moved to Dirty Unicorns :) :)

I may come back to GPE, but would like to see a version update to at least 5.1. Since this ROM is built off of the GPE Galaxy S4, is it restricted to whatever Android version that phone is currently on? Like no update to 5.1 until Google updates the GPE S4 to 5.1? Just curious how this ROM was being built.

And for people suggesting if you want customization, then go to an AOSP based ROM, ummmm, this is an AOSP based ROM :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CamelToeJoe:
What happened to the trebuchet launcher. Just dirty flashed and I only have the Google launcher.?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nostrings:
This is not an AOSP based ROM - it's based off of GPE.

Personally, on my device, I have two complaints with the ROM; 1) Unless you choose GSM/WCDMA, you cannot get a quick toggle for data (via quick settings, nor the regular settings). I have no idea why this is so..., and 2) I believe the device runs a bit hotter than my 4.4.4 AOSP experience (used SlimKat before moving over to this). I have a few others, but those come down to nitpicking.

The main thing why I stay with this rom, as opposed to moving to an AOSP based ROM, is the camera - because this GPE ROM contains (what I would assume) proprietary camera libraries from Samsung, the camera experience is SIGNIFICANTLY better than that of an AOSP based ROM. Unless I can port those libraries over to an AOSP based ROM, then I would most likely switch over myself. But till then, I will be using this ROM for the foreseeable future.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
Yes, it's based off of GPE (GPE stands for Google Play Edition) and the Google Play Edition ROM is based in AOSP, that is the draw to purcahse a GPE Galaxy S4. You are getting yourself a Galaxy S4 without TouchWiz, and instead, an AOSP version of Android.

EDIT: Official description of the GS4 GPE edition:

"The latest in the popular line of Samsung's Galaxy S smartphones, the Galaxy S4 ups the ante with a larger 5-inch 1080p display, Snapdragon S4 Pro processor and 2600 mAh battery to match. The Google Play edition is an unlocked device featuring a stock version of Android 4.2."
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nostrings:
Sure, GPE is based off of AOSP, but GPE != AOSP. With GPE devices, the manufacturers include their proprietary drivers for various sensors/radio & other hardware, among other things.

The most in-your-face example of the difference from GPE and AOSP is the camera experience; for our devices, try the same camera app for both ROMs, and just see how different the quality and speed is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
Yes, there are proprietary drivers, on an AOSP base. I said that GPE is an AOSP based ROM, which is a factual statement. I don't care if there are Samsung additions to the AOSP ROM, it is still BASED in AOSP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nostrings:
By transitive property, yes, this ROM is AOSP based. Anyways - I think we're saying the same thing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
LOL, we definitely are :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ttakacs:
See post #985. I clean flashed the 19-April-2015 update (wiped everything, including internal storage). The Photos app crashes immediately. Flashing Galleries.zip from the OTA-Updater did nothing: AOSP gallery was not installed, and Photos did not go away. Instead, I installed QuickPic from the Play Store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CamelToeJoe:
Dirty flashed... Used hulk for a day and it was awful.. Just dirty flashed back to Googy.. I can already tell a difference.

What happened to Trebuchet Launcher?

Did not see an option to install the ASOP email (for exchange). The Gmail app is not supporting exchange anymore. Read somewhere that Gmail stopped supporting exchange except for Nexus devices.

Again having problems with proximity sensor. On using the dialer to call, screen goes blank (sleep) and will not wake back even when trying to wake it using the power button. It will only wake when the other side hangs up or I pull the battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] faststang00:
I have had this problem but I found a easy fix that works for me. When on a call, just wipe over the proximity sensor (I use my shirt) and it will come back on.

Works for me.

Thanks faststang00, this trick worked but is super inconvenient. There has to be a proper fix as this works well with stock-modded roms.

I installed JRE without issue, made a Nandroid, and then attempted to restore my stock ROM from Nandroid. It tried to boot, but every app did a FC. I had to Odin a stock ROM to get back. Why did this happen? Obviously something is very incompatible between JRE and my L720 stock ROM.

As a side note, one of the reasons I attempted to restore back to stock is I couldn't figure out how to get the JRE camera to save to extSDcard?

Update: I've resolved the issue by doing 3 wipes (cache, Dalvik, and internal storage) and Factory Reset before restoring stock Nandroid.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nostrings:
I got the same thing (I wanted to flash stock so that I could update the PRL and such). However, in my case, it was because I had installed a custom recovery and another ROM (this one). My stock ROM was NOT rooted, so when I attempted to boot off of it, I got FC on pretty much everything. I believe that not having rooted the stock ROM and attempting to restore caused this, though I can't say with absolute certainty.

I have never used JRE camera. What does JRE stand for, anyway?

I use the OnePlus camera, as well as Snap Camera, and I can save to extSDcard just fine with both. What did you format your SD card as?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ttakacs:
FWIW, when my wife got an S5, I got her S4, on which was flashed GPE. In order to transfer my phone number to the S4, I had to flash a TW ROM -- I chose the Wicked ROM. After the PRL and Profile were updated, the S4 was activated on the Sprint network with my phone number. Then I flashed GPE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] flroots:
Last night I tried out this ROM on my Sprint S4 (L720). Everything seemed to work except I experienced the following issues:

Font too small for my eyes. I went with default 480. Is it a question of setting dots per inch during install? Can it be changed after the fact or is new install required?

Selected OnePlusOne camera during install, but it never showed up?

Selected Chrome browser during install, but it never showed up?

There was no calendar. Is that not a standard part of ROM?

There was no mobile data. Is it a question of setting up APN?

I realize that the missing apps can probably be installed from Play Store; I'm just wondering why I selected them, but they never showed up? I did install the OnePlusOne Camera from the Play Store, but it seemed to be all ads and no camera? I ended up with Open Camera which I've used before. I'm happy with font size in stock ROM. How best to match that with JRE? Next step will be to get mobile data so any hints in that regard will be appreciated. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] koivth:
Unfortunately, that is functionality not built into GPE roms for this device. We'd have to take that up with Google or Samsung, I don't think you can cherry pick commits from aosp or cm based Roms.

Can anyone explain how GPE Lollipop is developed? For example, are there separate versions for each variant of the S4 or is it more universal?

I've tried multiple versions of this rom and can't get Hulu to work. Netflix works fine, but no Hulu. The ads run but when the show starts it just stays on a black screen with the network logo at the top but never starts the show. Anyone find a fix for this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Yaantra:
Have that, doesn't work... Have to swipe my fingers across the sensor and then hit the power button at least twice for the screen to wake... Even this way it's a hit or miss.

This is really annoying, but guess this is a 5.01 wide issue... I've read that AOSP and CM also have the same issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bthorne79:
Gpe is a originally for the i9505G which in turn ported over to our devices there is a github for the modification they do to the stock rom. Now if you wonder about which version to use grab the on on the unified gs4 thread not the sprint one. I had no issues installing the camera calendar or any other mod with the installer zips I even have a screen shot

Blue one is the CM(camera next) 1+1 or what ever you want to call it second one is stock google camera and last is the moto camera as you can see the chrome browser is there also which can also be installed with the stock gapps pack or the play store so nothing there to be saying you can't get it installed. http://ultimarom.com/google-apps-packages/

There is the link to download for the google apps.

Thanks. I do see that the I9505 site has a later version. I wonder why they have separate sites for each variant since apparently they are 'unified'? That part still confuses me.

I've installed the latest Lollipop GPE (JFLTE-GPE-20150419.zip) to my Sprint S4 (L720). It looks nice and the screen is very crisp. The immediate problem is that I can't make nor receive calls? My carrier is a Sprint MVNO called RingPlus. Everything needed by RingPlus loads automatically with the stock 4.4.2. It seems that on other ROMs I had to update PRL and Profile, but I don't see where to do it on this ROM? Any hints would be much appreciated.

Update: I've re-installed the ROM and this time I patiently waited for the 'Activating cellular service' message to complete. It never completes, it keeps timing out. On the previous installation I skipped this step hoping to do it manually.

I believe with GPE you have to flash back to stock to update PRL and Profile then flash back to GPE. I don't think that functionality is built into GPE.

Thanks. I reverted back to stock and did a PRL and Profile update to restore voice, text, and data. I then restored my GPE Nandroid at which point I had voice and text, but no data. Any idea on how to get data back. As mentioned, I'm on RingPlus, a Sprint MVNO. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Atreides Spawn:
The latest version of this rom has errors in the scripts of nearly all of the AROMA installers for add-on apps. Hopefully cosmetic only, but who knows?

Specifically, the scripts show "Installing Camera" for just about every installer during installation. Others show wrong apps being installed. Hopefully this is just text that was never updated correctly and the correct apps are actually getting installed.

Second issue is that the Cyanogenmod browser causes issues with Gapps (forget the specific error). THe problem only occurs when this browser is installed using the AROMA add-on installer (which has errors as stated above). My process fpr updating to the latest version is same as previously (I have been using this ROM since the first release around Christmas and have updated with all releases). 1) backup all my apps using Titanium Backup, 2) Create TB Update.zip, 3) flash new version with full wipe, 4) restore from TB.

I'm wondering if it might be best to wait for the next release before updating from the March release? Looks like these 'bugs' may be due to the big change in installation process and parsing of scripts.
