[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
I think I've tracked down the source of my problem where I cannot turn the phone off when plugged into power and it appears to be surge's kernel. I flashed both the kushan and hybridmax kernels and all was well - that it, I could plug in a phone which was off and it would stay off, or switch the phone off while plugged in and it was really switch off. With surge's kernel, while plugged in and I switch the phone off it immediately switches back on. If my phone is off and I plug it in it immediately switches back on.

Seems I'm the only one with this issue which gets back to my earlier comment that our phones have personalities.

Anyway, looking forward to future developments here [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION].
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Get the app phone info Samsung free on app store and will tell you everything about your phone. ? after you install let me know what you think or if have questions. Working on 2nd release.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Working on the mods you requested?. I haven't forgot about you and the instructions either. My son keept me up all night for no reason @ all. I don't understand it. I am gonna send you some stuff so you can get set up for the log cat. Sending you a apk ?. The rest I will put in PM. Sorry feel like a zombie ATM.

Hopefully with the 2nd version you won't have that issue. That is so awkward.... sounds like you have my luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
No problem. I still think my issue, as minor as it is, is kernel related but anything you come up with will be appreciated. I'm going to experiment some more and will report if any solution is found.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] saul1991:
is there any way to delete some other apps in the rom? i know its debloated but there some apps that i would still like to get rid of.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikePeterMcCabe:
There is a Safestrap bug that causes that same exact issue. Up until I started using this rom and flashfire.... and getting to uninstall Safestrap and be done with it- I had my phone doing that for the last few years!

To be certain: did u use Safestrap at any point during the rom setup?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
If you know what your doing you can remove them from the zip before you flash it. Otherwise you would have to use a app to get rid of them. Just out of curiosity what are you getting rid of? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Thanks, but I'm on MDK, never used Safestrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikePeterMcCabe:
Hmm, do u have an extended battery by any chance?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] saul1991:
I'm trying to get rid of optical reader, Google photos, s health, s translator, watch on and Google +. I would do it but I have never messed with 5.0.1. My original s4 was still on mdk so I was familiar with flashing and restoring but not with 5.0.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Use Titanium Backup. You can disable them in the settings so they don't show up and don't do anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Excellent question. I first noticed it after getting some RavPower batteries - 2800mah, but even with the stock battery the problem persists. Any idea that the hardware changes could be the source of the problem despite my kernel experiments?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikePeterMcCabe:
I can confirm System Tuner Pro works well for removing apps on Lollipop, that would be my recommendation
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AsaSpades:
3.0 Alpha2 Xposed installed. And the music zip worked great, thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikePeterMcCabe:
When I first experienced the problem I did a bit of research and testing, I also noticed the problem on a friends phone who was not using Safestrap but she had an extended battery.

Turns out, somehow some way.... the battery was to blame. Later I experimented by removing Safestrap from my phone and Odined back to stock- also put in a Hyperion extended battery... and low and behold, the problem came back, but not with the reg. battery. But being that I ended up using Safestrap till now and had dozens of ROMS since those testing days.... I got used to the defect. It does not cause any damage, it is just annoying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Thanks. I agree it's just annoying & not a major problem. It still puzzles me why it's only with surge's kernel though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
I noticed this happens on my phone as well. Defs my fault. I just noticed and was like "meh" if it's a huge deal I can look into it, as it's prob a ramdisk issue. As long is it doesn't interfere with the pseudo symlink hack I had to do for adb root and bbx (the version of busybox that anyone using the kernel I made will have).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikePeterMcCabe:
I should mention also because it is important, using System Tuner Pro to remove apps is good because it allows you to semi-automatically make a backup of what your getting rid of (just in case all goes to hell). I advise using this function. System Tuner has many other useful functions as well, it's like a standard for me to install first thing when I set up a new ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikePeterMcCabe:
Now that I can add photos...

Here is proof that RRO layers work like a charm on this ROM- this is the LG style cyan toggles
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Thanks I just went ahead and got System Tuner Pro. See what it's about.

They don't have layers for dialer and sms right? I think I have only seen them for settings and toggles. By the way looks awesome ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikePeterMcCabe:
Actually, it appears they do have those... I just looked at the "retro" dialer theme.... I am just confused because I thought you could only do one at a time, will have to look more into it for sure. Here is the thread I was just looking at:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/themes-apps/layers-overlay-rro-s6-themes-s6-ported-t3085064
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikePeterMcCabe:
Okay, I can report back that I was able to semi-successfully many objects at once including dialer, mms, contacts, toggles, calander, email.... I need to definitely play with this a bit more....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sinner822:
I can't get settings first menu. Deeper into settings is fine. Phone and contacts no go for me. Toggles are fine. Pitch Black theme.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikePeterMcCabe:
Alot are based on S6 and I think it is looking for those apps, perhaps partly the problem.

I didn't flash the file you should know, I unzipped, copied and pasted into the overlay folder and changed all the permissions by hand. Trial and error- at least it is not damaging when it doesn't work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Glad to hear it's not something I've done really. If it's something you get to it would be great but it's not, yet anyway, a big deal for me.

EDIT: Wanted to add my thanks for your kernel and I'll be staying with it either way. Also, I'm happy to test if needed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I do this same thing when I am testing. Manually is the best way ??. I just want dark themed dialer,contacts, and sms . I'm good with everything else.

Thanks for the link actually fell asleep last night looking at them. Woke up and threw my phone at myself. Cause I jumped lmfao.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Holy toggles lol , what I am running and a little preview if you notice.??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Thanks for all your help Surge1223!! I would be happy to test as well. Just PM me. I know your busy so just whenever you get time if you don't mind taking a look at it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikePeterMcCabe:
I might have found one issue, anybody else experiencing issues with Wifi Direct? I can connect to my Galaxy Tab S, but when I try and send a file, the file never goes through.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
I personally use Bluetooth to transfer between devices when I'm not at home with access to my NAS.

Never used wifi direct
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I haven't used that either but do you have all your settings on Nfc ? I know its picky if everything isn't on. But you probably tried that just asking. Trying to think of a way I could test mine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dman089:
Need some help

Just flashed this rom then tried to flash surges kernel but it won't change . Great rom by the way. I'm on mdk and flashed it in twrp v2.5.02. Any advice been a while since I have flashed anything to be honest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
You might want to start by upgrading TWRP. I'm on 2.8.4 - I think - but check out that thread. There is a later version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I would suggest the same and maybe redownload the kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dman089:
Thanks, so you think the only issue is bc I have an outdated recovery to flash a kernel. I kept that recovery bc it was stable can you post a link to a flashable recovery you think will work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I would just install the app and update your recovery. ?. Then after that is done go into recovery and flash Kernel.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanageralso make sure you have installed busybox (binaries). Comes pre installed but you still have to open app and install it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
The TWRP thread is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2292565.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dman089:
I flashed the recovery via app 2..8.4 then flashed the kernel. rebooted system now I am stuck on samsung unlock screen. I guess its going to be a long night (odin)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
What do you mean you are at the Samsung unlock screen. So you downloaded app updated recovery. Did you ash from the app or did you go into recovery? Flash in recovery. Was only getting your recovery updated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Even in the thread says same thing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dman089:
Yes i flashed the recovery through the app. After that booted back into the new version and flashed the kernel. It said complete went to reboot system stuck on samsung unlock screen and cannot get back in to recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
That's really awkward. I am on that Kernel along with most on this thread. Way better battery life. How long were you on samsung unlock screen? Is that the boot screen you are referring to?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dman089:
yeah i was stuck on the samsung custom screen with the lock unlocked on it . time was prob close to 10 mins
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Takes up to 15 sometimes. But you should have been at the galaxy splash screen for most of that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dman089:
I got the phone back working after Odin and a twrp back up. I'll try again tomorrow. If someone wants to recommend the best version of twrp. Hopefully tomorrow will be more successful. Thanks for the help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
How are you installing TWRP? You should have the newest version now. App-downlaod recovery-make sure you have recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
If it helps but not too add more confusion or steps. I'm on the TWRP version in my signature and installed it via Flashify from playstore few months ago and have had no problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
I'm on 2.8.4 as well. Just never felt a need to upgrade as it does everything I need and has never given me a problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I havent upgraded either. As you said no need if everything is working ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikePeterMcCabe:
I have tried eeverything, but I am not sure if it is a problem on my Galaxy Tab S, or a problem on my S4. I need someone who has 2nd devices that is wifi direct capable to test and see if they can send a file to it. It will act as if it's connected, but cannot send or receive files.

Anybody test this for me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Hey Mike sorry i could have done this yesterday but had alot going on and maybe selling my car today. My wife has a stock s4 that i can try it for you. She gets off at 5 or so, if no one else has tried before then. What kind of file? Trying to do exactly what you are to the tee. Thanks and sorry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Stang, when playing music, I sometimes get a pause of once second, then the music starts up again.

Also, the lollipop animation. Is in slow motion...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikePeterMcCabe:
I don't think file type will matter, but let's say just to have a constant in this experiment. ...

Use a .pdf or a picture. Usually I send myself stuff from work (when it's working) I will dump the files from my phone to my tab. Most of the time the files are about 3 or 4 GB..... so wifi direct is the quickest way to transfer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ok got ya. Will try as soon as she gets off?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
What music app? I user PowerAmp and have never seen any issues at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
He uses Apollo.

Not sure why Apollo would be doing that. Clear the data for it in settings app and see what happens. Are you talking about the samaung boot animation? I see you say lollipop. You using Gatgets boot animation? I don't have any slow motion happening in any of mine. I have even tried all the streaming apps to make sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Does the JoeApollo version available from the playstore count?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Please forgive me if I'm late to this but I've tried 3 different music apps and none have had any problems at all. Is it just specific to the CM music app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
I am using the stock Samsung music player. And yes its gadgets animation. I am not sure why. But is is jerky and very slow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dman089:
I upgraded to 2.8.4 flashed kernel it didnt crash recovery this time. But it still wouldnt boot stuck at galaxy screen waited 20 mins then reflashed again same thing so had to restore a back up. Not sure what the problem is any more Ideas
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Just for curiosity re download the Rom please and flash it let it boot with reg kernel built in. After that is successful. Then boot into recovery and flash the new Kernel and loki doki after. Tell me what happens please. You shouldnt have to loki as it is built in but, just to be sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Sorry AliceBToklas i was wrong about the person made alot of flashables for people he got the flashable reg stock music app.

Have you tried reflashing Gadgets boot animation? If so try the stock samsung one and let me know if it does the same thing please
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dman089:
Sure I'll give it a try I will let you know the result. Unfortunately going to be a busy couple days .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Trying to see if we can go ahead and get you taken care of. If you have a computer jump on it and PM me. Go through it and get it working
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
You didn't say, but also clear caches after flashing the kernel, before rebooting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Where is the stock Sammy boot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Tech you should clear cache and delvik when doing a kernel. Due to 2nd nook cache

?

But this would be done before flash not after.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Let me give you the zip one minute

Poof ....Just made ine real quick

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Oh, is it normal for about 4-5 hours of music through earbuds to eat up 50% of my battery? I haven't listened to music like this in a LONG time...

Will flash now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Yes, music eats battery pretty good. But thats actaully not bad considering 5 hours or so worth(video is the worst killer)and its better than stock. My wifes stock s4 uses more. I think the iphone 6 my buddy has gets worse than that. Droid rules others are fools. Lmfao. Jk

Let me know about the boot animation
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
I'll flash soon... Meaning this hour.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Depends on Wi-Fi vs 4G as well. If he's on 4G that's going to work the battery harder as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Also very true. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Longest hour i have ever seen
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
LOL :D

Lemme know if you need any testing on the ROM update, happy to sacrifice my S4 for the greater good. :D

Neighbor gave us a few pounds of Yellowfin from what he caught yesterday on a fishing boat a few miles out to sea - grilled fish tacos tonight!!

So glad it's Friday!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Soory, I went to sleep, had school, came back home, went to sleep xD.

It worked when I flashed it last night. Perfectly fine with stock samsung..

Battery life on standby seems diminished from Hyperdrive with the same Xposed modules. My assumption is lollipop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
TGIF!!!!! Thanks mam on the testing. Getting close to done and will send your way. Has e everything Reggie's Rom has but a a couple more mods. ?. Dowload booster added, toolbox added , graphics for Stock music player unlocked, SideKey, build prop edits for better battery, faster processing and so forth. Sd fix, 3minit battery, particle unlock (*old&slow ),baked in Surge1223 Kernel

, and more but not gonna list everything? some features i want to be found ?

? ya lollipop uses more for sure. But i dont get bad enough for me to go to kitkat. Glad to leave it behind. Cant focus on the past the future is today. Plus i dont get any FCs lol. And camers works 100% of the time and i dont get random problems. So i am happy. But not enough to stop making more hahaha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Glad you are up and running. What sort of battery life are you expecting? I know many have reported LP being an issue but I can expect at least as good as I got from KK. I'm still hoping to make 3 days between charges but we all have to have goals.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] masters:
Three days between charges? Oh wow I just wish I could make it more than six hours.

I use my phone almost constantly and I would love for it to make it at least one day , like charging just at night would be nice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikePeterMcCabe:
SOoooo,,,,, I did some massive amounts of testing as to why I could connect to other devices with Wifi-Direct, but not send or recieve files. After testing against my Samsung Smart TV and my Galaxy Tab S (also running a custom Lolly ROM) I first determined it was my S4 that had the problem, not the other devices.

So I downloaded an app "SHAREit" that uses Wifi-Direct to send files to another device that uses the app on the recieving end as well. It WORKED!! I was able to send a 2 GB file from my S4 to my Galaxy Tab S in about 4 minutes!

--So I crossed hardware off the list.

I noticed many pages back in this thread that someone reported also that screen mirroring does not work- this I believe is connected to the WIfi-Direct problem.

Without hesitation- because I had a special feeling ... I did a full wipe in Odin back to NC5.

Booted up Kitkat, rooted- turned on Wifi-Direct......WORKED

-then following exact instructions in your OP I upgraded with S.Strap back up to Muniz deodex Lollipop..

tried WIfi Direct and screen mirroring...... BOTH WORKED!!!

Then still following directions exactly using flashfire.... I flashed Stang5litre 5.0 OC1 non-MDK

......

wifi and screen mirror fail. However I can get Allcast and SHAREit to work.

Thus, the problem hides in either the ROM or it is a byproduct of the kernel or flashfire process or something.

It has to be easy to fix--- because it does work, just not without the help of using those apps, and if it works on the Muniz stock Lolly, I am sure we can get it to work on your ROM.

What you think?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I could get it to pull my wife's s4 up. Couldnt get it to go through...bluetooth trans worked but slower than direct. The only thing i can think it could be would be the cloud apks. Ill deff look into it. I can give out the whole list of what was taken out as well. Never took anything out to deal with those two functions unless it was hidden in some crap ware. Im sure we can get it figured out. Let me do some searching.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikePeterMcCabe:
If you want to give me the list that would be awesome, I will do the troubleshooting on that end.... if I find out what causes it I will make a flashable fix for others like the individual who mentioned they had issues (I will have to look for the name).

Don't forget though, it is more than quite possible that it is flashfire or kernel related as well... and that stuff is sorta beyond my level cuz I have no way to test it being non-MDK. Lemme know!

also.... if you want me to beta test your knew editions in the future I would be happy to do so!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Im MDK so i can handle that end. Ill pm you the list. I dont think it's Kernel releated as we have 3 different Kernels being used in the OP and i bet they all dont work. I know hybridmax max 2.5 has same issue. And if your non mdk that covers the nc1 kernel. As I am on surg1223 kernel. I left all the allcast and allshare stuff in there to keep these funtions actually working. And i looked up all the apps before i took them out. But its got to be some thing. Was about to flash the 2nd edition so i can grab something from it right after flash. ? for mod. But i can wait for a few. Thanks for offering to help. Its got to be something all. As it transers every way but direct. Weird......
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Sorry I've been out of pocket as for testing stang.

Work and S5 users have had me tied up quite a bit...they are so behind on quite a few things except for the availability of roms.

I believe they have 5 or 6 lollipop roms and I've been working to get them up to speed as far as having SS flashable modems and updated Odin packages

Plus going back to dual-booting Ubuntu and Win7 in preparation for my next device in maybe the next 6 months.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
No worries i understand. I already did that with my desktop and laptop lol. I am prepared. Trying to get all the files from gigilie(been working on call recording with some of his files. Waiting on a response on that). So Wifi-Direct and mirroring. .....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Obviously we use our phones very differently.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
This explains why I could transfer pictures between my friends Camera and my phone...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
6 hours ?

I have to agree with Alice.. I use mine heavy everyday and i get a full day. Son watches youtube so my screen up time is over 2 hours before i get to 50% left on my battery which is great. I am always posting on xda with my phone as you see the sig. I even mod certain things on the phone itself then bring what i mod'd to the rom. Are you MDK if so you should run Surge1223 Kernel, if not i Can't really help you to much but on the second release i did put some battery saving mods to try and help out.

Can you post a screen shot like Alice did?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
[MENTION=5949736]MikePeterMcCabe[/MENTION] I PM'd You. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] slopenut1:
I too flashed Muniz deodex Lollipop which is the fully stock bloated version this rom is based on and my casting via MHL/HDMI sound issues were gone. And was also able to produce a logcat which I have not been able to do on Stang's rom. I don't do any wireless casting but I assumed it would also need help on this rom via alternate apps. I am on MDK and have not tried other kernels on Muniz rom, but it looks more like something key is missing after Stang deboated this. I hope we can help him in debugging this casting issue.
