I guess I'll post first.

Up and running on 4/20 (flashed a few hours ago). So far I have noticed:

As soon as you open the stock messaging app a notification appears saying a message could not be sent. Choosing "Discard" from the menu of the unsent message does not discard it.

The compass is not working properly. Orientation is slow to respond and is off by 180 degrees. This only happens when stationary. When viewing the sensors using Advanced Sensor Tester the magnetic sensor is showing some changes, the gyroscope sensor shows very little changes, and the orientation sensor shows one line out of three showing very little change. Don't know if it means anything.

Not sure if I am using the correct term here, but, Adaptive brightness does not seem to be responding well and overall the lower brightness setting of the display seem to be too dark. In an outdoor environment any brightness setting below 50% is pretty much unusable and the brightness when in direct light doesn't increase enough. (May not have described that correctly).

BT seems good with a Jabra earpiece. I have yet to test it with something like music play over Ford's Sync and vehicle BT.

Not sure if it is an Android 5.1 issue or not but I have had to reinstall several third party apps since going to CM12.1. Opening them results in a force close. If I navigate to the APK using root explorer, selecting it, and choosing install (to reinstall it) the app works correctly afterwards.

So far everything else seems to be working.

ran the 4/18 and 4/19 build. BT works, connects but won't stream anything. First my "Music" app was force closing every time it tried to play, it kept trying so it was a loop of force closes from it. I disabled the Music app, i then started getting bluetooth share has forced closed errors.

im flashing the 4/20 build but won't be able to test bluetooth playback to my car until tomorrow.

i also have the damn #in my status bar all day long. can't get rid of it, have no idea what its doing up there. even stays through reboots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Ok, I have come across another issue. I disconnected my Jabra BT earpiece earlier. Now it will not reconnect. BT has turned off and will not turn back on. Cycling airplane mode does not help.

Ok, a reboot seems to have straightened BT out for now. It is on and I can connect my earpiece.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gmp029:
BT was not playing nicely with my car, tried rebooting with no change. BT would connect, but I would get a "Bluetooth share has stopped" message
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
get the same error. welcome to the club, looks like more bluetooth issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I actually expected it, happens after every version change.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
yup, i didn't think it would be any better but was worth on a shot. can tell you on the 4/20 build it connects to my car (with a little convincing) but only recognizes the hands free profile. won't push any audio across. also turning on bluetooth is super buggy, it never really turns on and just switches the slider back to off.

I've heard euroskank builds have it working but i really dont want to full wipe my device again for the 3rd time in a week lol. i signed up for a motorola credit account, waiting for the account number to come in the mail and then ordering my 64GB nexus 6. my nano sim card came yesterday which I know verizon will give me a hard time activating. I also have a sim card cutter, some cases and a screen protector coming tomorrow so either way this is happening.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vanberge:
I was on skank's 12.1 build until 4.17 version and BT did not stream in my car at all. It would connect, then i'd go to play music and DoubleTwist would just keep skipping to the next song without playing any audio. Then BT would be wierd and wouldnt connect/reconnect after that until a reboot.

So far I'm seeing the same funcionality on this ROM so it seems like something with the 12.1 base to me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
good to know. there is a never ending battle with this phone on bluetooth, the compass and MMS lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
MMS was the easy fix. I made a few APN edits and it has worked ever since. What I did is in either the official thread or euroskanks thread. BT they will eventually fix. The compass, as we all know all too well, is a whole different story.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
Yea I followed your APN edits awhile back, still was hit or miss. the MMS would eventually come in but wasn't 100%. great roms though, i'm really liking lollipop

Hello,

Thanks for you working on this ROM. My issue is I can't install it. :(

So I was running JFLTE-GPE 5.0.1 for a while now by Danvdh. I noticed that at one point the Model Number changed to the GPE and device was jltegpe (or something like that). It didn't bother anything until I tried to install this ROM when I received an error in TWRP that I can't install the ROM because it is only for the jfltevzw. Does anyone know how to fix this issue. I am now running Hyperdrive and build.prop is back to jfltevzw but I am still getting the same error message in TWRP.

I am on the Verizon model of the S4 running MDK, loki'ed the bootloader, and installed TWRP.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
You may have to go back to stock first (either by nandroid restore or via Odin).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Otakulad:
Thanks. I was thinking about that but since they are only nightlies and not everything is working, I'll wait.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
well its been fun boys..

just got back from best buy with my unbranded nexus 6.. the GS4 was a great phone and a blast to use but these roms and their problems were driving me insane. enjoy the development, i'll probably keep an eye on whats going on. if anyone has a friend looking for an MDK bootloader GS4 on verizon let me know lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] phonedawg:
another one bites the dust - first rajones19 and now you. I might follow soon. Too bad considering the jfltexx variant has no issues.

I am test running a Nexus 6. Next weekend is the final return date. It is big but I am getting used to it. Let's see if I want to keep it.

My decision will also depend on Google's wireless network announcement. If it sounds good, I will return this Nexus 6 and buy one from the play store and leave Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Well, you'll be missed here but you gotta do what you gotta do......

I've talked jumpin ship before but I'll probably hang on till the bitter lonely end. I'm just hardheaded like that. [emoji14]

Seriously though, if I want decent coverage across my work area (10K sq miles in eastern AZ and western NM) Big Red is the only real choice. Who knows, maybe when I do decide on a new device it will be rootable and possibly even exploited.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
well its time to move on, i really love the GS4 even more than my galaxy nexus but its been 2 years. I had this GS4 since launch date, actually had it 3 days early. she served me well and i honestly could have gone a little longer with it but I got tired of dealing with flashing stock roms on my phone just for certain key things not to work right. Got tired of having to explain to people when something didn't work it was because of custom software. Plus looking at my GS4 it just feels small now. Honestly would have preferred a 5.5inch phone but I dont see this thing being a problem once i get use to it. I'll probably keep the GS4 around as a mess around device so I'll probably still flash some roms with it. Don't think there is much of a demand in the resale space for a 2 year old phone like this. I've learned my lesson though, and I should have learned it from having a galaxy nexus but from now on out I'll only be using nexus devices.

I debated switching to T-Mobile and honestly I'm still very interested in doing so. Like others, coverage is a big concern and even though here in Southern PA (right outside of Philly) I get great T-Mobile coverage, I'm still worried about the one time to go somewhere that has 0 coverage. I drive back and forth to Long Island, NY where I'm originally from every few weeks and T-Mobile coverage is outstanding that entire trip so that would be nice. If I was still on the island I would switch in a heartbeat. Being in PA now, 75% of this state is a blackhole for T-Mobile coverage which very much worries me, even though I never really go that far. Maybe by the end of the year I might make the switch but for now I'm sticking with big red, unfortunately.

I don't know if this is actually a bug, but it doesn't seem like I can block people from text messaging me. Some random person added me to a group message with a bunch of people that I don't know.

Interesting note about MMS / group texts. If I have a pending message that won't download, I have been able to force the message to come through by going to settings => mobile networks => preferred network type and switching from global (or lte) to 1x. Worked for both picture msg and group message.

Has anyone else had probs with 7/10 build? I dirty flashed and now I have no cellular voice or data or GPS. Only WiFi works.

I was able to get my APN settings back after a factory reset. However theres no way I'm going to reset them again in settings. I'm pretty sure they won't come back if I do although they used to. This is likely a bug.

Back to LTE again

This worked! Really annoying to do...but it works.

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

ACTUALLY, I fixed it. There's a problem with the APNs where you cannot receive MMS on LTE/Global.

Go to Settings > Mobile Network > Access Point Names and open Verizon Internet. Scroll down, all the MMS stuff will probably be empty. Set MMSC to http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms, set the MMS Port to 80. Finally add "mms" to the list of APN Type. Menu > Save & probably reboot (just for good measure). All MMS and group messages should come in now!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
This has been present in every CM12.x ROM. What permanently fixed it for me was to edit both the VERIZON INTERNET and the Verizon APNs and add the following to both. (They will be the same after editing)

MMSC:

http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms

Port: 80

APN Type:

default,supl,mms

Make sure to save each APN after editing. Once doing this any pending MMS automatically downloaded and any new one came through as it should. MMS has been flawless since I made these changes.

Trouble with Rhapsody player and CM 12.1

Good Afternoon everyone,

I'm having trouble with my Rhapsody player when using both the 12.0 snapshot from June 25th and the 12.1 August 1st nightly on a Verizon S4 SCH-i545. When the player gets to the end of the song, it gives a little error flag along the bottom of the screen, says "Playback failed. Skipping to next track." and then the player fails to move to the next track, it just stays at the end of the song. I do not have this problem when using the most recent 10.1.3 Release Candidate for the verizon S4. The ROM is fast and gorgeous but unfortunately this holdup with Rhapsody is keeping me on cm 10.1.3.

Any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] traco1:
Installl Rom

I've rooted my phone (verizon s4 I545) I have also installed flashfire. I have downloaded this rom and I tried to install it

I'm not sure what happened but I couldn't get it to take . Messed up my phone. Had to re-root & re-install firmware backup

How long after phone reboots does it take to load rom? After seemeed like forever I guessed my phone had locked up.

Did I jump the gun?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] batendalyn:
I had issues at boot when I was initially installing this ROM moving from an android 4.x based ROM. Turns out I had two problems 1) I hadn't reformatted my /data partition before the upgrade and 2) my TWRP version was too old to properly install android 5.x. If you haven't, maybe check to make sure your recovery is sufficiently up to date and then backup/format internal storage prior to install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] traco1:
installation

How long should I wait after install for this rom to boot up?

5 -10 minutes?

I hate not seeing some sort of progress on the screen to let me know where the installs at.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Apokriphos:
I have been using this rom religiously for about 2 months now. However, I continue, off and on, to have one particularly frustrating problem. It is especially troubling to me as I am about to take a long trip across the country.

Whenever I turn on my GPS, and perhaps also in areas where I have poor verizon signal as well (OC1) the battery drains rediculously fast. Sometimes Battery Doctor says google contacts is also using a large percentage of the battery. I have had this problem off and on with this rom, but I believe the version 7/06 didn't have the issue.

Is there any way you could make it available for download?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] batendalyn:
I'm not familiar with flashfire though it does appear to be compatible with 5.x CM based ROMS. Sorry, I'm not much help there. Not so much with this particular ROM but I have had previous versions of CM appear to stall out at the boot animation for as long as fifteen minutes. Particularly if you are moving from a earlier version of android, remember that you need to wipe all of your caches and reformat your internal storage before installing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] traco1:
Flashfire does not have a format option in settings. Flashfire is used because the bootloader is still locked as well as the kernel.

the partitions are write protected for these items.

But it's good to know it could take that long to boot up I hate to do a battery pull . I've had to re-root 2wice now & I fear that 1 of these times it won't work & i'll be stuck.

Thanks for your help!

Rom Install

My i545 s4 has "official" write protected partitions. There for it won't take the rom install. According to "Flashfire" I need to flash with "Odin" which it still might not take . Now the problem is Odin take only certain file formats ,not zip files

As an semi-amateur I'm stuck for answers.

Help anyone?

Thank You
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I tried flashfire with CM several months back and I did not like the way it interacted with recovery so I no longer use it. I have never had an issue with not writing to "protected partitions". I did discover that more recent recoveries do need to be used, though. CWM, for example, is no longer being maintained and began to cause issues and I switched to TWRP (latest is 2.8.7.0). At any rate, I only flash through recovery with a cache/davlik cache wipe and have no issues.

The only exception is when a clean install is needed then everything gets wiped.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] traco1:
I did dalvic/cashe wipe & cashe wipe .I wondered about CWM I tried that alredy & did nothing. I have not tried TWRP yet.

However I have wondered about Odin to flash the rom I went to 7-zip loaded the .zip files & cahnge them to .tar files .

Will this work for me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Not sure, and you're over thinking things. You can install the latest TWRP by flashing it in CWM. Then you can just do things from recovery like you did with CWM. No need to do anything but download the zip and verify the md5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] traco1:
I guess what I am saying is after installing the zip doing all the wiping & cleaning it booted back to the same stock firmware

Are people still have issues with MMS with current night lies? Sometimes mine go though, but more of then than not they fail. Using the Hangouts app.

EDIT: after looking back, Fern's APN solution has seemed to helped the situation!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
That's a strange one. I thought I remember reading something about that, but it was a long time ago and I don't remember where/when I read about it.

As many times as that has been posted, first time was way back on CM 10 or 11, you think it would have made it into the current build.

I'm currently running the Optimized CM12.1 by Antaresone and he asked for those settings. I pm'd him and they should be included in the next build he and his team release.

It took a little searching and experimenting before I found those but since making that change MMS/SMS has been flawless. Glad it was able to help someone out again. Keep note of them. If you ever need to clean install the official or any flavor of CM12.1 again you'll need to check and possibly edit the APNs again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
What is different about the optimized version or 12.1? Is it located in the original android development section?
