Guys I'm really coming to an end here with all these flashing custom roms stuff...

Why is it that all these Rom Developers just assume you to know everything and never give step by step instructions on things?

I'm on nc5 right now and I tried flashing this Rom and it soft bricked me twice already(This is my fifth time soft bricking this phone in the past week), like wtf am I doing wrong ?

I downloaded this stock firmware (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358539677) so I can unbrick my phone and followed the instructions from this website (http://highonandroid.com/android-ro...tom-rom-using-twrp-recovery-failproof-method/) to install the latest twrp using flashify.

I don't understand why you can't use safestrap on this rom and why I can't use twrp or cwm on this rom.. It really confuses me and I don't even know the difference between AOSP and TW (Some people tell me AOSP roms are not flashable on Safestrap)...

What dafuq am I doing wrong ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sir Lancelot:
Mostly because once you've been doing this for a while you assume everyone reading has some advanced level of understanding of android ROMs.

Reading the sticky posts can save you lots of heartache. Otherwise you are coming into a graduate level class without even taking the 101 class.

S4 ROMs that don't specifically say they can be installed using safe strap can only be used on MDK S4 phones. No exceptions.

Yeah...it's not a developers responsibility to educate new users. It's on us as individuals to learn. We've all had to do it. Asking for an easy way out isn't that way to go about things on here. Guides, posts that are stickied are extremely important and resourceful. Lots of users have seen noobs around here flash with reckless abandon. That's always a bad move. If you don't know what you're flashing on your phone then you probably shouldn't flash it until you have an understanding of everything you're attempting to do to your phone. There a plenty of guides on XDA that cover pretty much every topic you'd need to have a basic knowledge of rooting, flashing, how to use a recovery, kernels, etc. I'm not trying to single you out but you really do need to put in the time and research everything.

Loving the ROM but I'm having freezing/stuttering issues with the ROM itself and the data connection.

I've tried toggling airplane mode and cellular data, neither work. I have to reboot to get data mobile data working again.

Not too bad on DU. CM was horrible for the reasons you said. What's bothering me is the bt issues are still here, my phone shut off twice today (once on a call), and when I click a phone number link the phone app doesn't load it so I can dial it easily.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] natec003:
I ran into the dialer issue when trying to call a restaurant after finding the number on Google... I didn't seem to have any bt issues in the few hours I had it connected to my moto 360. I had to switch back to a nandroid though due to battery drain. I couldn't nail down what the problem was...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
I'm running the latest weekly and if I click on a googled phone link it launches the dialer with the number, it doesn't dial the number until I press the phone icon.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
You can use twrp. In fact the op specifically states to use the most current version of it. And if you don't know the difference between AOSP and TW then maybe you should stop flashing roms and go back to stock. And last but not least...quit whinning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbats:
Takes a little getting use to but tell google to "call whatever" instead. Google will automatically call the closet location to you if for example your ordering pizza etc.. If by chance your just looking up a # that's different. But google should always call whatever your trying to call based on location.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BPHusker:
So I just noticed I'm not getting prompted when I get voice mails. I have to just call my voice mail after I miss calls to see if there is a message. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zelpus:
Just installed this and its been great so far. Definitely stable for a daily driver and using lollipop on the s4 might of resurrected it for a bit longer before I upgrade
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BPHusker:
I just wiped 9.1 and flashed 9.2 and every 5-10 minutes my WiFi drops out. I'm also still not getting prompted for voice mail. Any help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kd-:
I've also had Wifi drops that required a reboot. In addition, I've had a number of Bluetooth Share FCs that required a reboot to resolve as well. I've captured a "bug report" which looks like it has a logcat and a dmesg output, among other things. If any devs think it would help them out, shoot me a PM and I'll send it your way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zelpus:
I just experienced the WiFi dropping and have had Bluetooth drop out a few times. Rebooting cures it though. The other thing I've noticed is the auto brightness doesn't work. Other than that it's been rock solid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BPHusker:
Are both of you getting voice mail notifications?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kd-:
I use Google Voice and just use the emails... so unsure if they work or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zelpus:
I haven't gotten any lately but on 4.4.2 I had a Verizon app for VM which isn't currently installed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kd-:
I seem to be getting absolutely horrendous battery life/awake time recently for some reason. Anyone else experience this? BetterBatteryStats hasn't shown any insights other than a kernel msm_hsic_host wakelock which is the cell modem if I remember correctly. Partial seems to be dominated by RILJ. I'm running the NK1 radio if that makes a difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n0_face:
I noticed this was a problem when I first installed the ROM onto my phone. According to the stats, it was because the phone had dropped/lost Mobile Data, so it was madly searching for something. All I did was restart my phone, and not only did I get LTE back, but it hasn't lost it since (even after several restarts following).

I haven't changed or loaded any radio settings manually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BPHusker:
I just wiped and flashed 5.1.1 and I'm now getting voice mail notifications. Woo!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Triscuit:
I've been running this for a couple days with system/data/cache running f2fs and I'm impressed, the overall feel of the ROM is very smooth. Only issue I'm having is waking from sleep is a little slow.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BPHusker:
Giving it a shot now. I will let you know how it goes.

Also, when I was using Google Maps the directions were all off. It seemed like the compass wasn't working correctly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbats:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BPHusker:
Thanks! I will give it a shot and see how it goes.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Triscuit:
This is expected, it is needed for things like the ad blocker

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] royredman:
Hi. Let me start out by saying that I love this ROM. I have been using it all the time on my s4. This is my favorite AOSP ROM to be honest. I have one issue though. When I turn on the display and try to swipe to unlock past the lockscreen, it delays for about 8 seconds before I can unlock past the lockscreen. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BPHusker:
I'm having the same issue. It is speedy for about the first hour after flashing the rom and then it slows to a crawl. Not sure why...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbats:
The lockscreen delay can be caused by a multitude of things. Some users report turning off ambient display helps, others say its theme related. I've never experienced it personally but I'd suggest try diff themes first than try disabling ambient display if that doesn't work. I use ambient display with pocket mode issue free. I usually switch between sprite, darkmtrl and deep darkness themes without a hitch. See if any of that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BPHusker:
I don't have ambient display on and I haven't changed any themes. I'm just using the default. Anything else you can think of to try?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbats:
Honestly no that's usually one of the issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BPHusker:
I'm stupid, I for some reason saw ambient display and thought ambient brightness. Well I turned off ambient display and the lag is 90% gone. Thanks!

I'm having some other weird stuff happen. Randomly I will click an app to load it and it just sits there on a black screen. I try to force close it and it still does it. I usually have to either restart or pull the battery because it will sometimes just hang on the rebooting screen.

The phone also randomly gets really hot an the battery drains really quickly. I've tried to kill all recent apps but that doesn't seem to work either. I'm using the stock kernel and haven't overlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbats:
Depending on what the app is it might need some updating.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BPHusker:
The weird thing is when it happens, all apps act this way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbats:
Try enabling recent app switcher in dirty tweaks. Keeping to many apps open in the background could cause lag/freezing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rholm:
I saw these issues on the newest release, so i moved over to OctL. Now, I think i am seeing it there to a lesser degree. The previous DU from April and the weekly from May were much better on battery life. I've been trying to debug. I think it's something to do with that radios.

Maybe something in Lollipop? Might have to go back to KK, but i don"t want to. I'd like to go back to this rom. DU is usually one of the best.

Cheers,

Rich
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rholm:
The poor battery life only seems to show up when i set the cpu governor to conservative. It's been a few days of testing. When it gets to the heavy battery usage state, the phone gets hot. The only way to fix it, is a reboot.

FWIW, OctL does the same thing. This worked fine on the previous release and one of the weeklies in May that i ran.

Cheers,

Rich
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BPHusker:
I have noticed this in the latest version as well. I'm using the stock kernel and stock settings and randomly the phone will start to get super hot and most of the time I need to pull the battery because it just hangs on the rebooting screen.

[MENTION=4881555]jbats[/MENTION]

I just dirty-flashed the latest nightly and am having some issues. First, it seems like all my settings (sounds, status bar changes, etc) have reverted to the defaults. In addition, when I pull down on the status bar I don't get any of the quick settings buttons or the settings icon, only the notifications. The same thing was happening on the previous test version, even when doing a clean flash. Not sure what is causing it, but I thought I'd report it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbats:
I can't help you with a dirty flash. My best suggestion is a clean install than see if your issue persists.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Triscuit:
I'm getting the same thing on Exodus, I've noticed it after watching a video, or using the camera. For me, my brightness will stick on high and it can't be changed. Reboot fixes it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BPHusker:
Just did a clean install and the lag seems to have gone away. Usually it takes a day or two to reappear though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbats:
I've noticed the lag as of recent. Usually turning off ambient display helps or enabling doze mode.

Diagnose high CPU usage

When I have suspected high CPU usage I monitor it using Cool Tool (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ds.cpuoverlay) I set the gauges to show CPU and Frequency. When I have high CPU usage I use System Panel ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.systempanel) to see what is causing the issue. You will have to go into setting and select show all process, the little gauge on the side will indicate whats running the CPU so high. Just a suggestion. Plus the Cool Tool looks pretty cool :D

Disabling "Ambient Display" seems to have fixed my instability problems. Those problems were hot phone, high battery usage, etc.

I posted in the i9500 thread of this, but I don't think it's monitored. GREAT EFFING ROM. I have been having nothing but problems on Cyanogen 12.1 Optimized. I would like to donate a six pack to you if you take donations? Also - any settings fix for bluetooth share FC?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rholm:
Anyone try the new build yet?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rholm:
I installed last night. It's much better than the previous release. Battery life is improved and it seems like the radio problems are mostly gone. I have had a few instances of my phone locking up for a short time. It had a big effect on audio output during the lock up. When this happened, my signal strength was low.

Cheers,

Rich
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rholm:
Went back to the previous May weekly I had been running. My phone was still getting hot and the battery usage was high during that period. I have read about some radio issues, and this seemed to happen in poor signal areas.

I'll try again for the next release, as I really like this rom!

Cheers,

Rich

Also I can't seem to get MMS to work... I fixed the APN settings as per prior posts to this thread.... but nothing. Just hangs on sending, and things other people send me are never received.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbats:
Messenger has always been issue. You have to use the built-in messanger. The issue with receiving messages is more than likely from being on WiFi. Disable WiFi while sending texts.

I personally use the built-in message app for contacts without a google account and hangouts for those who do.

**Update** google messenger should work fine now.

Anyone have lag while waking the phone up? When I wake up the phone the lockscreen shows up, but it doesn't let me do anything for a good 5 seconds with the 9.6 weekly.
