I got the unmodded version of Viper4Android working as an user app after several tries. Just persistence. Don't flash the modded version, that screwed things up for me. Good luck.

On a related note, I can't flash any marshmallow gapps (open or dynamics) without running into a black screen whenever I press the home button . . . I'm using Nova launcher but after flashing gapps, there is a nameless green android icon as the first launcher under the Settings>Home. None of the launchers are selectable. Any ideas? I've reverted to a nandroid backup.

The bluetooth randomly crashing still happens and this is after a full clean wipe.

Calls were freezing up the phone as well but that was just dirty flashing, haven't had a chance to see if it persists with this clean flash.

thanks man, i hook my bluetooth to the car and talk all the time, I guess this can't be my daily use rom!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gmolds:
Stop pooping in here... trying to keep the thread clean!

On another note... is there any reason NOT to use Open gApps for a minimalist approach, and if that would be ok, is anything in the ROM dependent on something in the heavier versions? I.E. what is the slimmest one I should consider? Please and ty!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] christoophat:
You can also try A-Gapps (search in xda) which is also minimal
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Aurelius99:
Gapps

Yes, you could use Open Gapps. In terms of which package to get, installing a large package kind of defeats the purpose of having a custom ROM because it takes more control out of your hands about what exactly is installed on your device. You have the most control (and less bloat) with the pico package, and less control as the package size increases. For example, the pico package doesn't install the Google App. You will need to go to the Play Store and install it. The advantage of doing this is that the Google App will then be installed as a user application which will allow you to use a program like Greenify to hibernate it when the screen goes off (saving battery power).

On the other hand, a nano package includes the Google App and installs it as a system application taking that control out of your hands. The nice thing here though is that you don't have to manually adjust the app settings. Most of that is done for you.

As a general rule, you will have more RAM and better performance by keeping it lean and mean with the smaller packages -- pico or nano which will give you all the basic functionality you need. By the way, the Banks Gapps are equivalent to a nano package.

Are there compatible kernels with lower CPU frequencies and perhaps other governors? I flashed two other Marshmallow roms to check the kernel with Flashify, they're all the same apparently.

Everything works great except my call audio stops working after my phone has been on for a couple hours. I am on tmobile s4 with ok3 modem and 5.6.8.

Can I upgrading from 20160410 to 20160501, with just flashing the ROM and (same) Gapps?

Looking to see if I can upgrade without losing my current setup (apps mostly i can always log back in..) and such..

thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kazzxtrismus:
Do any of the custom gapps reduce or negate the constant running of glocation, play store etc?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Aurelius99:
No, I don't think so. I use a combination of Greenify and various system settings to minimize running/background processes. I was shocked to see how much cellular data the pro version of ES File Explorer was using behind my back. I went into the settings for cellular data access and shut it down completely.

Issues

So I know normal procedure to report etc etc.

But i am unable to unlock my phone or view my screen once a phone call has started. Hence i am unable to collect a bug report via button or software.

Since the last update and current, with fresh installs/wipes of everything (ROM, SU, GAPPS, etc), this problem still persists.

just FYI
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Aurelius99:
What type of phone do you have? Did you install the correct ROM for that phone? Which Gapps did you install? So everything else works except normal phone calls? Are your sensors working? After you installed the ROM and Gapps did you change any settings before this happened or was there a problem even with the default settings?

The most common reason for this issue is that the proximity sensor on your phone is not working correctly. Open up your Dialer then go to call settings. Turn off the Automatic Proximity Speaker. Turn off the Enable Proximity Sensor then turn it back on. Reboot, and see if that helps. There is another common cause for this problem, and that is installing the wrong ROM for your device because the sensors will not work properly which then affects the phone call screen handling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cashtastic:
Issues cont'd

Sorry about that. I was rather tired at the time i posted.

I am using a SGHm919 (Tmobile s4) on ressurections latest (for the jfltetmo). I used BanksDynamic Gapps with the last update. Havent had any service issues or anything else going on to suggest a gapps issue. Ive dealt with that before lol

Anyone have any issues with Banks so far?

I noticed most say they used OpenGapps.

But on a side note.....thanks to you Aurelius, i now see i dont even have the proximity settings enabled anymore. So i will re-enable and go from there.

Thank you

Okay... so I happened to grab a new S4 and before even booting if for the first time I ODIN'd in TWRP and then let it reboot into Stock. After it was sitting still I powered off and went into TWRP and did a System and Dalvik Wipe and then tried to flash RR. I get this error: "E: Error executing updater binary in zip ..." Before I get all bent out of shape is there an easy dumb dumb mistake I've made? I think I was assuming root would happen with the flash so I didn't take any root steps. Pointers? Yeah, I'm not the sharpest card in the woods...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] christoophat:
you just answered your own question. You didn't root the phone, so nothing can be flashed to it

Okay so now that we're clear on that... since I wiped system... what are my options? I have CF Auto-root... guess I'll try that next. But I'm wondering if I now need to locate a recovery to stock image to odin into the phone to start over?

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

Okay... found stock firmwares... trying that now...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] christoophat:
So you should

Odin in and restore stock FW

Then CF-auto root phone via odin

then also install recent TWRP in odin ( install tar) (later add TWRP Manager from Playstore & update to current after you've flashed your ROM)

then you are ready to rumble.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gmolds:
Did that stuff and still getting the error... I notice before the RED ERROR message something about can't install this package on top of incompatible data... Could this be a kernel thing? I see/saw SU# in the apps after the factory and CF-Auto steps... Going back to stock again now...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
With all due respect to the other posters, but root is not a requirement. Once you have TWRP installed, you can flash a new ROM with or without the previous ROM being rooted. Especially since when you wipe it you will remove any rooted ROM.

As for your problem, what phone model, bootloader, twrp version, and RR ROM version are you using?

Also, does this happen with any ROM you try, or just that one?

-AlaskaLinuxUser

https://thealaskalinuxuser.wordpress.com
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gmolds:
Model: T-Mobile (SGH-M919)

bootloader:

TWRP: 2.8.4.0

RR: 5.6.8

How do I know the bootloader version? I've only tried this ROM. I have this same phone as my regular phone and am using the same TWRP and same RR on it. In fact, I'm using the exact same downloaded files that I used on the other phone which is my daily driver... just the screen is cracked so I'm planning to move over. So maybe the bootloader is the issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Excellent question.

Without or with root, as it is not needed for this, open a terminal app, and type:

getprop ro.bootloader

This will tell you your bootloader. You can compare them between your two phones. Hint, this can even be done in TWRP through the advanced menu.

However, I don't think that will be the problem, but wanted to ascertain your device model and specs, but it is always worth checking.

I think you should do one of two things:

1. I have tried RR 5.6.8 personally on my phone. However, I am using a newer TWRP, 2.8.7.0. So I suggest that you download the newer TWRP here:

https://dl.twrp.me/jfltetmo/

- It may also be that the TWRP you downloaded was not for the JFLTETMO? But that is unlikely. So I would try this newer TWRP and see if that helps.

2. I also suggest you try some other T-Mobile TWRP flashable ROM, just to be sure the problem is your setup, or if the problem is that ROM you downloaded. It is possible that the file is somehow corrupted.

Typically, when TWRP says there is a problem with the updater-script, this implies that the ./META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script file, which you can see by unzipping the ROM, has a command that is not acceptable to the current version of TWRP.

So, if you update to at least 2.8.7.0, then I know this ROM should work, as it works for me, with my phone:

Model: T-Mobile (SGH-M919)

bootloader: M919UVUAMDL

TWRP: 2.8.7.0

Tested RR: 5.6.8

But if it does not, try a few other T-Mobile ROMS to see if it is your phone or the ROMS. You may wish to re-download the RR, also.

As a side note, if you are moving from one phone to the other, you can simply take a TWRP backup of your old phone, and put it in the appropriate folder of the new phone and restore it, like so:

Old phone:

TWRP > BACKUPS > d363c746(random number) > "201605170000-mybackupfile"

On the new phone, make a backup of something so it will create the folder, then:

TWRP > BACKUPS > jdkdslsi(random number) > put your "201605170000-mybackupfile" here.

In any event, good luck, I hope this helps! Hope to hear back on how it went.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gmolds:
Not ignoring the other stuff... but the bootloaders are different. Before I try the other stuff, can that cause any issues? the new one is reporting M919UVUFOK3 and my driver is M919UVUFNK2

If I use the TWRP backup and recovery method will it update the bootloader/modem stuff? Also, should the TWRP versions be the same becasue somehow I actually updated the daily driver to 3.0.2-0 of TWRP. The new one is currently running 2.8.7.0

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

So... assuming bootloaders go up (alphabetically speaking) it seems as if the new phone that I got has a newer bootloader. I'm wondering if that could be the reason I'm having this problem. I've read in Shiny's Thread (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/firmwares-official-mdl-mk2-nb4-t2816508) that you can't go backwards with bootloaders.

I'm admitting that I still don't quite get the variables in this equation but I certainly don't want an extra paperweight. Should I be looking for ROMs that work with this newer bootloader?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Great questions.

This RR ROM can be installed on any of those bootloaders, as far as I know, but I only have one phone with one bootloader.

Your new phone has a newer bootloader than your old phone. As [MENTION=4103758]christoophat[/MENTION] pointed out on another post, the bootloaders are alphabetical. So your OK3 is newer than your NK2.

Ultimately, this should not matter, as the bootloaders are unlocked on this phone. It may come into play somewhere deep down in TWRP, but it should not affect your use here.

As for the TWRP backup/recovery method, no, it should not update your bootloader or modem. In this case, you want to keep the modem you have (OK3), that is the modem I use on my phone, even though I have a different bootloader. However, both phones should have the same version of TWRP if you wish to do a backup/restore. Typically, you want the latest and greatest TWRP for your phone, to ensure all of the updater-script options are enabled.

So, could it be your problem is the bootloader? I don't think so, although I've seen just about anything here on XDA! :)

I still recommend updating your TWRP and trying several ROMS, and then doing the backup/restore method. Try the ROMS first for clarity, then do the restore, as that is the setup you want (unless you want a clean slate). You may need to make a backup without MD5's to swap between the phones. I've done this before with other phones, but it has been a while. Good luck! Let us know how it turns out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gmolds:
So I have it all working now. In the end I was able to install a different ROM (Shiny's 4.4.4 rooted deodexed knoxless...) so I went ahead and updated TWRP to the same 3.0 version that was on my driver and then I restored that backup I made on the old phone. Powered down, swapped SIM and SD card and booted up... seems to be working. Thanks for all of the pointers.

so thanks everyone for answering my previous questions. I genuinely had issues with installing the upgrade to 5.6.8 and tried not to scream the sky is falling but each of you ignored them.. .

Yes i am being sarcastic *snicker*

Anyhow i finally figured out how to get myself out of the continuous loop that involves going through optimizing 24 app (at one round it was up to 100+, at times it wouldnt even reboot, or even get into recovery mode.. but i didnt make a fit about it.

Hope no one is going through those issues but if you are, i have to just say persistence man! nah drop me a line maybe i can assist..

so going back to the latest update 5.6.8 it looks great, smooth transitions, and great new functions from 5.6.7 but in all truth if you can wait.. i say stay at Lollipop till there is a more stable version.. i still experience untimely shut down of the phone at 100% batt, and a little difficulty in rebooting normally. it hasnt often but then again i just got the phone working after several days of it being down.

as noted on the thread #1..

Latest as in 569? Not sure I haven't tried it and went back to 558..

I'll defer to TJSteve but...

If it's looping on boot try remove batt for a minute, put it back ( charge it till 100%) then try recovery boot ( power & up vol).. It might take several tries...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PwnYourFace:
Well I'm still stuck on the boot loop. I did what you suggested and tried recovery. I thought maybe RR v5.6.9 was having issues with CWM so I went back to CWM 6.0.4.4 but it wouldn't even boot to recovery.

CWM 6.0.4.7 is working and I can get into recovery boot, I can flash zip for Gapps and for RR, but it still gets stuck on boot loop. Need some suggestions on how to fix; maybe some help on how to get back into CWM 6.0.4.4

Did you do a nano-backup? Try revert to that in recovery.

At this point what I did was a complete overhaul of my phone.. Wiped it clean by factory reset.. But then it kept looping again, so I suggest you go back to latest working rom and reset if you want to install the upgrade..

Double check your installing the right rom GAPPS also.. I used twerp so not sure the latest cam versions..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PwnYourFace:
Nope...no back up -sigh-. I know, I know. Stupid idea but I thought it was going to be a quick fix (sd card wasn't reading and it was hardware related). I didn't expect to have to reset my whole phone.

Anyway, I only see one GApps when I click on the link given on the first page? That's the one I have installed/am installing. I'm currently downloading the other RR versions and will see if I can get anything to boot.

Still haven't been able to go back down in recovery though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] junkiee24:
It took me a while to finally get back into recovery.. And then process the rom.

Maybe consider using a stock rom when you do get back in? Idk.. I'm just not certain how stable . . Stable is on RR.. I've been still getting random shutdowns on 568 but no one else has commented not even from Steve so idk if it's isolated..

PwnYourFace,

Yes, you can flash TWRP with Odin or Heimdall (Windows and Linux respectively).

Downloads here: https://dl.twrp.me/jfltetmo/

I recommend at least 2.8.7.0 or newer.

Hopefully that will get you back on your feet again. Let us know if you need more help with that. I personally use Heimdall, but Odin works just as well.

The .img files are best for Heimdall, and the .tar files are best for Odin.
