Kind sir, there's a moderate amount of lag I've been experiencing since 10.4 and on 10.5. I'm on L720...GOD2 baseband. I have now idea what the problem could be.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Did you wipe data when flashing this ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Do a fresh flash and wipe data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] zackandethan:
I'm running fine sir. I've not noticed any lag on my end . I do however have the emoticon issue. No big deal for me as I don't use them. Clean flashed, full wipe several times. I'm a happy old guy !!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Weird, I didn't touch the keyboard. The only solution I can think of is to flash the AOSP Keyboard because that's what I'm using.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] zackandethan:
I'll give the other keyboards a shot a little later and report back. I never noticed it on 10.4 but as I said I don't use them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jelive:
Finally got to screenshots of issue...notif panel icons cutoff and fine if there is anything below the icons.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
That's weird, I would just leave the brightness panel on then. I don't know what would be causing that. PS if you turn Mobile Data and Location off when connected to Wi-Fi you'll get a lot better battery life.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jelive:
Like u said just weird...no problem can live with it :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rootlinux:
My home screen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
What's that clock/weather widget?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rootlinux:
Amber Weather
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bubba77:
Yes I wiped. Using TWRP formatted system,data,cache,davlik, cache then flashed Rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] abrasive_negro:
I've been doing that each time I've flashed. I've been coming from 5.1.1/5.0.1 aosp ROMs though. Might that be the problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Yeah, backup whatever you want to keep on your internal SD and format it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] abrasive_negro:
So do I follow the regular flashing instructions after formatting it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] abrasive_negro:
Did everything to the t. Still lag. I guess I will go back to 10.2 until future updates. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bubba77:
Bilgerryan any idea's on the lock screen issue I am having?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
None
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 2WhiteWolves:
Maybe try flashing the 10.4, see if lock screen works. If it does, then flash 10.5 wipe cache and dalvik-cache and see if lock screen works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bubba77:
Thank you for the suggestion 2whitewolves I will try and report back my findings
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Did you remove apps that you aren't using? There a debloat tool in post #3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bubba77:
Had same issue when flashed 10.4 may have to go back to stock to verify that did not have problems there. And then come back to wicked. Since I seem to be out of ideas.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 2WhiteWolves:
I knew I seen the same problem on another thread, but this is what I found if you want to give it a shot.

You can just add # before

security.mdpp=None

in build prop and it will work.

The entry will then look like this

#security.mdpp=None

Then restart your phone and you should have all the lock screen options.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] carwashman:
ROM keeps getting better and better, thanks for the update! Loving the recents and lock on pulldown:) good good
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
OK guys, it looks like the new mods completely borked the Emoticons in Messaging mod. You can still type them in the old fashioned way with the : - ) typing them out. Use v10.4 if they are really important to you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bubba77:
2WhiteWolves thank you so much for reminding me of the build prop change. I was in process of trying to look for it as I had Remembered something along those lines as well. Anyway made the change and now the PIN lock works. Thank you very much. One other question when waking the screen the lock screen does not appear for very long is there a setting that I have not found yet to increase the amount of time before the screen goes dark again. Hope that makes sense.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
No, that's coded into SystemUI or framework-res somewhere, I haven't found it yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Linking in post #4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bubba77:
Bilgerryan thank you for the quick reply. Hopefully you will be able to locate it soon. Besides the emoji issue and the quick timing of the lock screen going dark the only other thing I have found is if using smart lock facial recognition. It does not open to view face for unlock only the pin entry comes up and have to be quick to get all four numbers entered before it goes dark. Have not seen this mentioned yet in the thread. So wanted to let you know. Again great rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Thexfactor2011:
Emoji Fix

Attached are zip files with the Google & Samsung Lollipop emoji. These are not flashable zips download the version you want extract the zip and copy the ttf file to your phone. Use a rooted file explorer to copy to /system/fonts overwritting the existing file. Probably want to make a backup copy. Set the permissions to rw-r--r-- then finally reboot.

Enjoy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tyxavier13:
Great rom but......

Experiencing very high battery drain data drops every few seconds then connects back on WiFi won't lock keeps dropping install two 2.8.6 f2fs format system data cache dalvich install 10.5 reboot let sit for five minutes turn off reboot to recovery install 720T converter reboot setup phone install exposed installer turn off reboot to recovery flash exposed framework generic v5 battery drains in 3 1/2 hours data drops and picks up but it's tedious for data to keep dropping WiFi also keeps dropping wth is going on? Anyone??? Great charging though takes less than an hour to charge 100%
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bubba77:
I still am unable to sent the stock samsung emoji after performing the above. Emoji show in message and selectable but once sent the emoji is not in message and does not show in sent message. Just wanted to let you know following these steps did not fix the issue
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tyxavier13:
Also experiencing serious lag battery drain
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bubba77:
Just wanted to follow up to this fix. I am starting to see some strange behavior. If the keypad stays I am able to enter my PIN and unlock the phone peridically the keypad will disappear when this happens I am able to swipe without entering a PIN and get into my phone. Not sure if this is due to the build prop mod or something to do with the Rom. Sometimes the screen only stays lit for few seconds before going black other times it seems to be lit for longer durations. As I said it is not consistent on if keypad stays on screen or disappears allowing for swipe. Way above my knowledge base but wanted it to be known what I am experiencing after modifying the build prop as 2WhiteWolves suggested.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
I would say your battery issues are related to your signal issues and I'm guessing you're not on OD2 firmware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tyxavier13:
Yes stock od2 twrp rooted I've done prl profile and ##72786#
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Thexfactor2011:
Have you tried using google messenger? I find it to be much nicer then the stock messenger. Also what keyboard are you using?

On a side note, I just copied the samsung emoji from my rooted stock S4. I ended up using the the google ones and havent had any issues at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] zackandethan:
I getting good battery life . unplug at 4am, its 3:48pm now. Still at 73%. I use clean sweep and I greenify everything. Both in the play store. Plus I turn off data and location when on WiFi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] flacraker:
Awesome ROM thanks for keeping the S4 alive.. Question for getting exposed working, what are the right files to use, I've been reading so much and just see stuff for the noted, or s5 and 6 any help towards which files to use would be great.. And I'm reading the Samsung exposed threaded but keep seeing a bunch of bashing and no direction.. Thanks for your time, and great ROM..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bubba77:
Using samsung keyboard.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] choppacity:
I've also been experiencing lag/freeze but only when using IG, FB and sometimes youtube.

I have L720T model to and my battery life is great.

I'm still on 10.4 about to clean flash 10.5
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rheller219:
Has anyone dirty flashed 10.5 over 10.4? Doesnt sound like there were alot of major changes.

I experience no Lag or any other issue...Real smooth Rom, and I am still on MF9 bootloader with everything else OD2. Thanks for a real nice rom! Keep up the great work!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Soultaker1974:
Awesome ROM I just deleted my internal memory and flash this new version with out any problems.

Thanks for the ROM

Gabe.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Post #3, I'm using v5 generic.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Yes, I always test both and will let you know if it's clean flash only.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Soultaker1974:
For that my Friend delete the internal memory not the SD and reinstall it.

I use to have that issue but I found out was my fault, I didn't wait the 15 minutes and take out the battery.

the ROM was lagged and the battery was death in no time.

I just delete all the internal memory of the phone, as precaution was taking out the memory SD.

and reinstall, Got it everything back on business

Thanks again for the ROM.

freedompop messaging app crashes

This is a great ROM, I have the L720 using Sprint service without any problem. I just signup to the Freedompop service. The strange thing was that the freedompop messaging app crashes when I tried to open the app; I just did a clean install of 10.5, and it is the same. Any suggestion ?

Thanks,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Nope, I haven't used FreedomPop since my S2. I would suggest contacting them. I thought I heard at one point that it needs to be a system/app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] carwashman:
I found the de-bloat tool, just wanted to give you a heads up that I don't see it in post #3.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
I'm not sure how that works. I'm on Ting, which is a Sprint affiliate.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] abrasive_negro:
Just did that. Very little difference. Would I be better off flashing previous versions and updating?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Have you tried using Autostart Manager? App Ops? Shut down some of the services that are running in the background to eliminate lag.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jelive:
Each time reboot it shows dl complete update sprint config...did it once and it adds sprint stnd apps...sprint tv, cbs sports, etc. I just clear notif.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
I think that's Sprint Zone, just remove it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jelive:
When I installed one time appeared to be all the sprint apps that come with fully stock phone...I just don't install anymore. Are all these apps under sprint zone? Any advantage or disadvantage on installing?

Edit...looked at notif close and its Sprint ID App. Went to app and turned off notif and no notif now on reboot...assume won't cause problems??

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rheller219:
for anyone having questions regarding Exposed module. This is what worked for me. It may or may not work for you, and I hold no responsibilty on what happens to your phone.

I installed Wanam from here

then I installed the Exposed Installer(XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk) from here

then I installed the Exposed Framework (	xposed-v65-sdk21-arm-arter97-V5-generic.zip) from here

Everything worked for me. Took a bit longer on reboot, but it works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Try the stock settings in post #3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] lilmarsh:
WiFi automatically searches even tho I'm telling it not to. All options are switched to manual toggle. Known issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Joe_E_Dotz:
The next time it turns on you should get a message that gives you 3 options tap on settings and you should see a toggle for smart wifi turn it off and your good to go
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Flash stock settings, I believe there's an option that's missing in the S5 Settings, toggle it off and flash the Wicked Settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tullman187:
Can anyone else confirm this? I have the L720T but I'm assuming that makes no difference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Joe_E_Dotz:
Just asking but has anyone tried a different launcher with this rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] abrasive_negro:
Will try the app ops. Any confirmation on the dirty flash from 10.4-10.5?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] carwashman:
Yes, several. Why would you think another wouldn't work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Yes, I already answered that. I always test both a dirty and clean flash, I will let you know of it's clean flash only. The instructions actually tell you to do a dirty flash if you are updating.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Joe_E_Dotz:
I was just asking because I can't seem to get any to work wen I set one as default it keeps telling me to chose one aging
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] RP-88:
There's nothing to really confirm as this is the same instructions as is in the third post. The only differences are that this user linked to V5 instead of V4 and that they are direct links. The first post takes you to the appropriate threads so you can always get the latest version, rather than the direct link to just one version and it also provides you the thread for support and future updates. As previously mentioned here in this thread, V5 works fine and several/many, including myself, are using it.

So now that I have given you the long answer, you know that it is just a reworded version of bilgerryan's info from post #3, I will now give you the short answer... yes, it works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] spaldingsmails:

The only thing got me scratching my head was direct sound give me a big Error on the music player, I just put everything back to the way it was.

and got that error away, but viper mod is good, on my beats sound like been on the concert.

no problems with the battery, got DeepSleep and Greanfy doing a great job.

phone with out data and only phone give me a 2 to 3 day.

the bigger killer is the screen.

thats is my report.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jelive:
Probably save time and your frustration on repetitive questions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 2WhiteWolves:
Sounds like the best thing to do, instead of having to answer the same question over and over again. Take a couple of aspirin, have a beer ( If you drink alcohol) and let the headache go away ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rnsxl666:
I say yes on the stock settings,makes it easier for you go for it. Then the folks that read the tread can flash the sweet new settings after setting up widgets and stuff.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Chevyblood561:
I'm still having the same issue as I did on 10.4 on 10.5 with the Google widget restarting when I try to do a search. Anyone else??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jelive:
If your google search widgets are the transparent or grey one (older app) I found they cause constant grief. The "correct" LP version has white background. I wanted transparent so tried Custom ICS Search widget on playstore as replacement...works on LP great so far. Forgot to mention even has frame color options.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
I'm thinking I'm going to add a couple of the mods to the stock settings and then you can go either way, stability or more options.

I seem to have an issue where if I am playing any audio and I open another app, it causes the audio to start breaking up. Amy ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iivisionii:
This rom has been working fantastic for me overall, but I have been having two problems which noone else seems to be mentioning on a thread. I'm on the 10.4 version right now.

1. Sometimes/frequently when I'm on wifi, it will just stop responding. Turning wifi off/on will bring it back relatively quickly, but I don't know why.

2. The phone runs buttery smooth most of the time, but it will occasionally just freeze for a few seconds, then come back. For example in chrome when I'm scrolling down, suddenly chrome stops responding and then it will start working again in 10 seconds. Also in baconreader when scrolling through picture galleries it tends to freeze and the gallery just exits. I never noticed this with my old roms.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. This was a fresh install of 10.4. I didn't see any mention of 10.5 fixing issues liket his or I would have tried that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
1. Try resetting your router, I'm 95% sure the problem is not with your phone.

2. This is a known Lollipop problem. Google it, Samsung even admits it. I'm hoping we get 5.1. Wiping dalvik cache and cache occasionally helps. Greenify is also recommended.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iivisionii:
Thanks for the tip. I am using greenify so I'll just wait until they hopefully fix the problem. As far as the router situation the problem happens both at work and at home. It may be a combination of the router and the phone. Sometimes I restart the router and it won't fix it, which is how I found out I have to turn the phone's wifi on and off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Have you tried turning on this option?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iivisionii:
I didn't even know about the setting, but just checked and it's already on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
You could also try flashing the stock settings in post #3 to see of it gives you any better stability.
