Hello all-
I've been bouncing around ROMs lately trying to find a fast and stable ROM to use as my daily driver, but the TW roms seem to all lag, and CM10.2 isn't giving me a reliable connection to my car's bluetooth. The most promising ROM has been a 4.3 Google Edition ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370205) except I keep getting a message when I try and use Google maps saying I need to enable GPS, although GPS is enabled. A quick reboot solves the issue and I am then able to use Maps. Does anyone else get this issue, or know if there is a solution?
Many thanks,
Jacob
edit: the problem also happens on CM10.2. The only common denominator I see is 4.3, but that is still just a guess.
when you're moving around ROMs, what wipe procedures are you performing? more specifically when transitioning between 4.2.2 and 4.3. what you're saying in your post is that a reboot generally fixes the issue which means it's not technically being caused by the ROM (code) but by an action before or after the install. cheers

Always the same process. In TWRP 2.5.0.2: Wipe Data, System, Dalvik Cache and Cache in Advanced Wipe. Then install the zip (and gapps if necessary) and reboot. Never had the problem with TW 4.2.2 Roms, and after posting, decided to give CM10.1.3 a whirl and see what happens.
Thanks for the help.
Hello all and I hope you all had a fab Christmas!
Yesterday for the first time my Nexus4 told me that my ROM is no longer cool. It also told me there is a new ROM in town, better and slicker. I decided to try it out. Custom ROM downloaded the new ROM for me and then I wiped out my PA 3.99. Did a cache wipe and a factory reset. Installed the new ROM which was downloaded into the PARANOIDOTA folder. Now comes the funny part. I got two messages one that there is a problem with google play and another that there is a problem with services or something like that. All this messages preventing me to use the phone while I could clearly see the massive soft keys in the background. Clicking ok on these messages wouldn't do anything as they will switch from one to the other. I rebooted and cleared again and reinstalled again with the same result. Can anyone share some light why it didn't work?
I mention that I used CMR v6.0.4.3
Thanks!
I think you needed to flash KitKat gapps after flashing the new rom

Ok, I was running PA 4 Beta3 but was having problems with the screen delay so thought I would completly wipe my phone, fresh install PA and install the mini Gapps (I had prev installed the stock but didnt want all the apps)
Here is where it started to go wrong, Phone would not start ptopery, would get past animation screen but that was it, would then just crash with small date in corner.
Wiped and flashed just the Rom and this also failed.
Wiped and installed 3.99 and this seem to work but then the wizard crashed and I had to power down.
Booted back up into recovery and dirty flashed Beta 3 again and this seemed ok. Flashed Stock Gapps and rebooted.
All apps have installed again, titanium back has been run but I still have no network what so ever.,
If i go into settings, more, vpn, mobile networks I get 'unfortunately settings has stopped'.
I have dirty flashed again but still have same problem.
I cant do a complete wipe and install again as need to get out of the office, however with the prev problems I had I am weary about doing so.
Can anyone shed any light on any of the issues i had at all?

Sounds like a radio issue. If you are running 3.99, you need the radio for 4.3 which I do believe 3.99 is based on. You need the radio for KitKat when running the new betas.

This is the easiest way to flash a new radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607221
If you went up to a 4.4 based rom and it changed your radio to .97 or .98 then you'll need to flash back to a .84 or before.
to go back to 4.3.
I think I basically said that. Sometimes I believe in not holding hands and let the guy/gal do some of the, legwork.

Thank you every one. I have reverted back to my recovery and all is well but I don't understand why when I flash the ROM ad gapps it happens. My recovery is the same ROM and gapps. No idea.
Oh well stuck with the screen delay for now!

Hi mate, thanks for this. I have reflashed my phone again and still have the same problem. My baseband is showing as 84 though s that is correct?
EDIT, dont worry a reboot has fixed this issue. Odd.
Thanks again though.

Struggling with CyanogenMod 11
I installed last night with Philz recovery (most recent version), factory reset, wiped cache and dalvic cache first. Things appeared to be running smoothly initially but I realize I don't have any sound (DSP manager crashes when I open it or when I open Apollo). I'm not able to answer or make phone calls. I'm pretty new at this - do I need to update my modem? I know Knox got installed (0x1) and the baseband version says mk2. Is there a ROM that would work better for my phone?Can I install rom that say NAE and NG2? I'm just looking for something that's stable and has great battery life. Or is there something I'm doing wrong with Cyanogenmod?
Here's info in the about phone page:
SPH-L720
11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-jflte
4.4.4
L720VPUEMK2 (baseband)
Kernel 3.4.104-cyanogenmod-gc55a5d6 etc
CPU ARMv7
Memory 1809 MB
Please help.
A second thorough wipe may be worthwhile. Otherwise download a fresh cm copy as the other may have gotten corrupted. Reload and reflash.

I got the same thing when I was using the front facing camera today. Took one picture then FC. Had to reboot to connect again.
Probably the fastest rom iv tried. But WiFi signal comes and go. Some applications close by then self. And the voice recording is terrible.
SIM problems
Is there any way to use CM12 without having a SIM card inserted because it won't allow the phone to connect to any network even though I've ben using my phone on Boost Mobile for almost a year now.
I'm running TWRP and the 2/8 nightly, I've been unable to access my developer options since the flash, even with factory reset before and after flash. Also having issues with the camera, seems to only want to take a few photos before it just stops capturing and force closing, leading to "unable to connect to camera". Any thoughts on the dev options issue?

same thing here I got the rom today and it was working perfectly but then I tried switching to record video and it froze and closed. Now when I try to open it, it say "can't connect to camera" any solution?
Camera Won't Work
Everything was running smooth but then I decided to record a video so after taking a few pictures I switched to video record. It frozee for a second and then closed the program. I clicled on camera again and a message popped up saying:
"Camera error
Can't connect to the camera."
I have CyanogenMod Version:

I tried closing disabling the camera app but no luck.
Move from CM12 nightly to Lollipop Stock Rooted
Greetings!
I've been running the Cyanogenmod 12 nightly build 12-20150224-NIGHTLY-jfltespr on my S4 (baseband L720PUFNG2) with ClockworkMod 6.0.4.7 installed. I've been experiencing some battery issues and miss features included in the stock Samsung ROMs, such as a working IR blaster and multiwindow support, and would like to move from CM12 to a stock AND ROOTED configuration. I have a few questions:
1) Where do I obtain the *correct* ROM to flash? I'd like Samsung's stock rooted Lollipop, *if possible*.
2) Do I run TriangleAway FIRST, and then flash, or flash, and THEN run TriangleAway?
3) After I flash the stock ROM, am I safe to recover user apps AND system data with Titanium Backup, or should I simply start fresh, being spring and all?
4) What about KNOX? Will it complain/cause issues/take off and nuke the entire site from orbit?
BTW, I *have* searched these forums, but there's almost an ocean of data to sift through even so, and most of my results date from 2013/2014. I don't want to get this wrong, as this is my only phone, and I've already softbricked for a day (no PIT found!), and want to avoid that happening again if possible.
I'll keep hunting for what I want on my own, but any help you geniuses here can provide would be.... well, helpful.
Thanks!
Did you make a nandroid backup of your stock ROM before you went down the custom ROM route?

No, and that answer probably means, apart from "do a nandroid backup next time, idiot", that I have to do a full wipe and can't restore my user data. I'm actually fine with that, as I don't really have any information on my phone that isn't already attached to my Google account or otherwise stored in the cloud.
What are the consequences beyond losing my data because I didn't do a Nandroid backup, if any?
And where do I get the stock ROM, etc.?
I see a bit of a green tint after latest updates (03/08 and 03/11).

well not making a nandroid could be bad because you could have a bad flash and soft brick and all u have left is download and/or recovery mode and u can always go back to having a functioning phone with your backup. And plus running cm12 u could restore your back up and update your prl and profile then restore your cm12 or do the same for a gps lock. Always make a back up man. U can get the stock touch wiz by either searching the forum for it which I'm sure it's here or u can go to sammobile type in sph-l720 and download the current stock tar file then re root and make a back up of stock before u even delete any bloat that way u will always have a completely stock back up.

Installed the 3/28 nightly last night and really digging it. I don't use it as a phone so I won't be able to test that aspect. About the only bug I've come across is that Falcon Pro 3 Twitter client can't play Youtube videos inside the app. Works on stock Lollipop. Not a biggie but thought you guys might want to know about it. NFC seemed to work great when I used it during initial setup. Camera pics and video looks great. Will try testing Bluetooth with file transfers to Nexus 7 (2013) tablet later. I'll try to report any other issues I encounter in this thread. Thanks for the really excellent work.
Edit: Well, I just played a YouTube video within Falcon Pro 3 (from The Verge Twitter account) and it played flawlessly. So that last attempt was either a borked link or who knows?
I am having the same issue with 13., moving back to 12 trying a new download.

Haven't found one other than buying a new phone haha! Still using the S4 but can't figure out the problems
Hi everyone,
Until recently I've been using a KitKat based ROM and I was pretty OK with how my NOTE 3 SM-9005 was performing. However, a few days ago I decided to try a Lollipop based ROM and the problems started. I had similar problems with 3 different ROMs with great reviews. My battery went, for example, from 100% to 15% in ONE HOUR while streaming from YouTube. It never did that before. Also, It sometimes gives a "system stopped responding" error or something like that (it's like the equivalent of explorer.exe crashing on Windows) and after a few seconds it starts working again. Other system apps crash as well every now and then and sometimes the phone just decides to restart by itself.
I initially used Philz recovery and after the initial errors I switched to TWRP and started from scratch. I completely wiped my system internal space before flashing and, of course, I wiped dalvik cache and cache before and after flashing the ROM. I only used recommended gapps. Also, I did not restore any system apps. I started from scratch after the installation and the problem is the same.
To be more exact, I tries flashing so far the following ROMS, experiencing more or less the same problems on each:
temasek's UNOFFICIAL CM12.1
AryaMod V5.4 TW Lollipop Official BOB6
BlissPop 3.5 Unofficial
I also tried the Dirty Unicorns v9.4 ROM from the Original Android Development section but this one went on a reboot loop initially after the first restart so it never really even installed.
At this point I believe I might have done something that I should't have, but it seems strange because this is not the first time I am flashing a new ROM and I never had problems in the past. Also, my NOTE 3 SM-9500 did not have any problem on my previous KitKat ROM. Did I miss something? Should I have used another kernel? If I understood correctly, the ROMs come with a recommended kernel already. If this is not the problem, what could it be? Should I have done any additional thing before flashing a Lolipop ROM after using a KitKat ROM?
I now installed an app for trying to find out what exactly drains my battery but this is not the only problem. The system itself is really unstable.
I would really appreciate some help, suggestions, or opinions. I really don't know what else should I be doing at this point.
Thanks a lot!
Apparently is the media server eating all that battery (currently 68%).
I will format the SD card hoping this fixes the issue.....but could this have something to do with the system error and, sometimes, restarts?
Well I really don't know what to say! A lot of people report battery problems on 5.0 just because they didn't wipe the phone while coming from KK! But you did, so that's no go. Battery life on LP is much better than KK for me, at least 20% better if not more. And I didn't face any system crashing issues either! Don't really know what's going on with you mate.
Someone suggested that maybe I shoud update the bootloader and modem to a Lollipop version but I really couldn't find any info on how to do that.
Formatting the SD card just slightly reduced the battery drain. The phone is still discharging like crazy. Any suggestion on how to update the bootloader and modem?
Thank you.
