The md5 file can just sit in the same folder as the rom zip. The recovery checks it when flashing the rom. Kind of nice. Search Google for PA GAPPS. Download the 5.1 version of your choice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Thanks so much for the info. Worked perfect and got my PA GAPPS :good:

Having some camera errors. Freezing and rebooting.

I've tried the Google camera but it ends up doing the same. Usually when switching from front to back cam.

What camera is everyone using?

I do plan to clean flash again. I've put the HTC ported camera on and I need to make sure that wasn't the cause.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Otakulad:
I wanted to report that I cannot get Netflix to work over mobile data with this ROM. I have the same problem with other Lollipop ROMs so I'm guessing it has something to do with that. Home wireless works fine though.

My wife has the same phone on the same carrier on the official Samsung Lollipop and Netflix works fine for her. I would love to use this ROM, but with my commute in the morning on a train, I need my Netflix.

Thanks for all the hard work.

Will this work on my daughters GS4?

The specs are in my signature?

It is rooted with towelroot and It has safetrap , twrp, flashfire, SuperSU and Busybox. installed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Unfortunately not, this ROM is not SafeStrap compatible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Grand Pooh-Bah:
I can delete safestrap cant I?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Negative. The only bootloader on this phone that has been bypassed (NOT unlocked, as some believe) was the original MDK bootloader. That's the only bootloader that allows the use of Loki to flash custom kernels. Everything since has required the use of SafeStrap to run custom ROMS. And the fully-functional SafeStrap-compatible ROMs are all TouchWiz.

Edit: and it is not possible to downgrade to MDK.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Grand Pooh-Bah:
Do you know of a ROM that is running 5.0+ that will work on this phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reggie cheeks:
Took TW5.0 for another spin and decided to come back to the guaranteed enjoyment that is OctOS. Couldn't be happier with the latest build. I'd still like to theme the TW lollipop but it's gonna be tough leaving this. Someday I will get to donate to you guys for your relentless efforts. Someday

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xc1097:
anyone else has issue like i'm facing?

i wiped and reinstalled 5 times already.

bluetooth keeps failing within few minutes of boot up

any & all signal dies(cellular/wifi/bt/nfc) randomly and won't work unless turning on airplane mode on & off, bluetooth won't come back tho unless reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] OneArm:
Ive had the bluetooth issues as well. It appears to be a CM problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s44:
M2 was wonderfully stable... anyone tried M3 yet? Is it dirty-flash safe?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xc1097:
Dirty flash not recommended.

I did it, and google play service error occured.

changes on M3 is camera storage location, verticle launcher in app drawer, more stable bluetooth(been 18hrs without issue)

on the other side, my data signal seems to be dropping more often compare to M2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] focus242:
Any rom based on cm is doomed to have BT issues and compass issues which messes up navigation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] masters:
Frustrating.. There must be a solution ... or has the problem been deemed not fixable?

I was hoping when the last update happened for stock people that something would have been figured out. Navigating with a Pebble Time watch = crash, but it works otherwise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s44:
I'm amused that after all this time, the bug that makes voice call sound only come out of one ear on headphones is still present.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s44:
So, installing and tweaking the just-posted M4. But how do I un-hide the Tentacles app once I've (mistakenly) hidden it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cjkacz:
You can either go to settings/about phone/octos build date or you can use the quicktile
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s44:
Thanks. I'd already taken it off the quick tiles, so...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s44:
Anyone gotten Android Pay working on this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] StirCwazy:
I hate to ask, but haven't seen any mention of this anywhere else. I keep having the same problem on any CM 12.x based rom, wireless network issues, and I've tried a few. After the rom is flashed and I'm in and using the phone, the signal meter drops to nothing at random times and displays no signal bars and an exclamation in the signal strength area. I know the area I'm in, large block building, has little signal, but on TW based roms I get a signal no matter what. While on a CM rom and loose all signal I can turn on Airplane mode and disable and within a few seconds I'm back to 2 bars. I would much rather use something like CM, but I just can't due to the signal dropping at random times.

Again, sorry for hijacking the thread but I would LOVE to use this rom and hoped someone could offer something to help.

Thoughts?

Can weeklys be dirty flashed over existing octos install or is a full wipe required
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] canodroid15:
I recommend a clean flash always, especially if coming from an older build. But if you wanna try dirty flashing weekly cover weekly you should be able to. Just make a backup & if you have "any" issues at all please wipe & clean flash b4 reporting ??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] canodroid15:
Hey guys & gals, we had to pull all of today's weekly builds due to a few issues. We're working on it & should have new builds up by 2moro if everything goes right. Sorry for any inconveniences guys. I'll post when new builds hit the site.

Anyone interested in a custom Octos boot animation?

This is a preview gif of the bottanimation, it loops at the end (the word lollipop fades in and out kind of a breathing effect).

Download the file below and rename it bootanimation.zip

Copy it to system/media and reboot.

Back up your original in case you don't like it.

No weekly this week. Instead We're gearing up for our 5.1.1 milestone (M5) release! Going forward with 6.0, we've decided to return to our AOSP roots! Thanks for all the support! Good things to come ? All builds are up! LP will continue until each & every non nexus device reaches a stable 6.0 AOSP build. This will take some time. We thank all you guys for your support & understanding!

I have updated the bootanimation that I made, nothing major just slowed things down a bit and added more animation to the octo when turning his head :D

Same install instructions:

Copy the file to /system/media, rename it to bootanimation.zip and set permissions (honestly, I don't think setting permissions is necessary but just to be safe).

The download link in my original post has also been updated.

Hi everyone! Hope all is well. I wanted to let you know that there will be no weekly builds this Friday/Saturday due to the Christmas Holiday. We at Team OctOs would like to wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and happy holiday season! We look forward to picking up again next week and may even have a couple surprises for you! Peace! And thanks for understanding.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] canodroid15:
So folks, we've got a lot to talk about. A while back we decided to go back to our roots. AOSP for a base. We got our Nexus line running AOSP & started working on our CAF devices. As you may know, it was not an easy task. In the end we were just to short handed & had to make a decision based with you guys in mind. We value each & everyone of our loyal fans. So the decision was made. Going forward with all non-Nexus devices we will have a separate branch, CM based as it was with LP. Things are progressing quickly now & we've added a new member to our team which has helped a lot! Our testers for most of our devices have the first beta CM based Oct-MM builds & are giving them the rundown. Were currently working on releasing a final LP 5.1.1 milestone (M6) and then its full steam ahead with Marshmallow! I hope you all understand & believe me we have some surprises in store for Oct-MM. No eta on when your device will drop but just as soon as our testers have deemed them stable we'll be releasing weeklies again. Won't be long, stay tuned I'll update you guys soon! Thanks for all your support, Oct-M is gonna be a blast! ?? #OctOS4life ??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] canodroid15:
Hey guys, we could use a jfltevzw tester. If anyone is interested email us at teamoctos@gmail.com. I'll get back to you asap as I'll be working today, or I'll have one of our devs respond if I can't. Serious inquiries only, must be willing to test builds as we post them & know how to restore your device & use hangouts. (Very rare you'll need to restore) but its a must you know how. Thanks!

I got to this page from a site on how to install 6.0.1 on a Verizon S4 i545 (I can't insert the URL here), by clicking a "download" link for the Oct-MM ROM.

After using the last several sets of weekly releases the only reoccurring issues I have had is occasionally wifi does not automatically connect when I get home or to work,and I just need to toggle wifi off and on. I've also noticed when I enter super su it says it needs to update but the update always fails; not sure if this is even something on the rom end, but I do not recall having this problem on octo os-L lollipop. Not issues with root access or use otherwise

Great work and thanks for continuing to support the jfltevzw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] canodroid15:
Right noe jfltevzw is the only jflte device that doesn't work with SuperSU. We've been trying to fix it for some time now. However, root does still work with the built-in CM superuser. We're still working on getting SuperSU play nice with jfltevzw. The WiFi issue is new to me, I'll check with our testers on this, thanks. If you get a chance or have time, a log of the WiFi issue will help us greatly.

wheres the marshmallow ROM?

I found a page that said something about you having a functional marshmallow rom for this phone so I came as soon as I could cause Im tired of the lollipop battery problems but I would like to know a couple of things before trying it cause I dont want my phone to get bricked, can I install it if I already updated to lollipop? is it 100% safe? is all the info about the of1 bootloader and the process to install it in the page?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zelpus:
I'm having an issue with the phone app and its proximity sensor. If I call without a headset in I can't access the screen and it remains black till the call has ended. If I have a headset plugged into the headphone jack the screen shows and I can interact with the phone. I've tried multiple proximity sensor apps and fixes and nothing has fixed the screen going blank without a headset.

If anyone has fixed this issue, disabled the proximity sensor or if it's a know issue please let me know, thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cognitivedissonance:
Hey there, I'm considering shifting to the MM based version. Has the incompatibility with SuperSU been resolved yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
Download "Proximity sensor reset" from the Play Store.

That should fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zelpus:
Yeah I tried that, no luck. I had to disable sensors.msm8960.so so I could call in for conference calls (needed to use the keypad after calling). But the downside is it won't rotate now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
Have you tried lightly blowing out the sensor area with compressed air?

I've had to actually take the phone apart to clean it out. It's amazing how much junk collects in there. Especially if you carry your phone in your pocket.

There is a YouTube tutorial on how to do it, it's pretty simple.

sent from a Galaxy far far away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cognitivedissonance:
Just gonna reply to myself because I came up with a couple additional questions.

1) has anyone tested and had success with Xposed on the 6.0.1 based version of this ROM? (My most used modules are GravityBox, Snapprefs, and Zoom for Instagram.)

2) out of curiosity, are there any glaring bugs with 6.0.1 version? I'm coming from a 5.0.1 AOSP based ROM, which wasn't perfect, but it was relatively bug/broken feature free.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] canodroid15:
[MENTION=4433558]kwest12[/MENTION], well since jfltevzw already has a patched boot img SuperSU fails. The new systemless too SuperSU has to patch the boot img in order to work. So, this is why the ROM uses stock CM superuser.
