Multi-tasking
Pressing and holding down the hard menu button (using SGS4 I9505) launches Google Now instead of what I would have expected to be the app switcher as is typical in CM11 and other similar ROMS.
Is there any method of app switching in this ROM? Even the Nexus devices have this ability.
Thanks.

I am pretty sure its the GE, i tried the aosp one and the phone stuck at google logo at the start.

Minimum brightness value
Hello everyone,
I have installed this ROM and noticed that the minimum brightness (backlight) value is set to 40.
Via ES File Explorer I edited /sys/class/LEDs/LCD backlight/brightness to value 5 and I successfully saved but when I increase the brightness in settings --> display --> brightness and then I decrease it back to the minimum level, the setting in /sys/class/LEDs/LCD backlight/brightness goes back to 40.
Are there any solutions to set this value (or another one that does what I need) in a permanent way without using applications such as root dim ? Thank you so much!

OTA support and other questions.
Hellos
I wish to install this rom on my GS4 but I was wondering whether this has OTA updates. I would also want to know if it works on At&t l337 model. Thanks.

What's the difference between this ROM and the other one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353) if I want to flash Vanilla Android?

Google Welcome Screen Loop
Hi,
I just installed this ROM on my S4 I9505 through a custom recovery.
I wiped the cache and data before I installed the ROM.
I am getting a google welcome screen, nothing happens and only 4 circle dots keeps looping?
Is this normal, or have I done something wrong?
Also it will not boot into recovery anymore
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,

Build Prop recovery
Hey, I've been running this Rom perfectly for a few months now, I just recently changed my build prop file to imitate the nexus 5 in order to get Gravity movie free from play store. The editor I used failed to save a backup and now I can't remember what the below settings needs to be changed back to. Can someone please provide these values for me.

Wireless Charging
Hi there, i was wondering if Jamal could answer my question.
Does wireless charging work on your ROM if so i would love to know the answer.

No Play Store, Gallery/Camera, or Chrome
Some help would be appreciated...
I've been playing around with this ROM for a few hours now and cannot get the play store, camera, or gallery to work. I'm sure the gallery and camera are connected, and I frankly don't even care as long as I can get the play store and chrome working.
My data is working fine, and so is gmail, drive etc. The only problems are with these apps. So, to try and solve the play store issue I've cleared cache, soft rebooted, reflashed ROM, and even installed the latest version. When I installed the latest version, it worked for about 2 seconds and then quit working again. Oh forgot to mention that when the phone boots it says "Google Play has Stopped Working" and the same thing happens when I start up chrome. Help would be much appreciated, I really love this ROM
Update: I've narrowed it down to an error with saving of some sort. I AM using Safestrap, should have clarified. Anyway, Chrome just doesn't load, and I have figured out that the play store works up until it tries to download something, and then it freaks out and closes. I managed to bypass this to a degree by loading apks to my google drive and downloading that way, and was able to get firefox running. Using firefox, I tried to download a file and got an error reading "/storage/emulated/0/Download/xyz.apk could not be saved, because an unknown error occurred. Try a different saving location" so yeah, I narrowed it down to an error with the save directory, just cannot figure out what is going on.

LTE connection cutting off
Hello,
I am using the 4.3 version of this rom, I have an annoying problem - my LTE connection is great, however whenever I make or receieve a phonecall my LTE connection switches off into a HSPDA connection and does not switch back to LTE after the phonecall is finished. How do I fix this? I have to keep switching on and off aeroplane mode to reset it into a LTE connection.

Will this rom work with i9500 ??

I don't like the original rom for my S4 and would like a clean room that give better battery life.
Thanks for your help.

Is everything working here

@Kosh_swe, have you found a solution? I also failed to get the Vanir ROM to work and I'd consider the flox CM10.2 ROM. Your post suggest that my radio would be dead in flox, too.

Hey guys,
I recently compiled flxo CM11.0 rom with STE OMX support (from TeamCanjica).
I've been testing it for a couple of weeks, for me everything seems ok (no reboots, camera working ...)
I didn't test bluetooth hand's free, but it's certainly still broken.
You can download this rom from my dropbox account :

Testing radio issues
Hi to all,
I just tested radio issues on my phone. I was researching, why radio is not working.
Here are results, maybe it will help. Anyway, I have my GT-s7710 for testing and I can do some tests or catch some debug informations if needed.
It seems that problem why radio is not working is located in modem-supervisor process. In original firmware, this process is responsible for uploading firmware into dbx500 platform chip. But in CM, there is no such process.
I am not expert, but it seems to.
I tried to use old modem-supervisor process to make everything working.
Services line from original fw:
Code:
service modem-supervisor /system/bin/modem-supervisor -r -f /dev/dbx500_mloader_fw -i /sys/devices/platform/ab8500-i2c.0/chip_id -c monitor -t 0
but it needs to be changed because /sys/devices/platform/ab8500-i2c.0/chip_id changed to /sys/devices/platform/ab8505-i2c.0/chip_id
Problem is that firmware event for loading firmware is never generated and firmware is not uploaded.
I have some dumps and traces if you need them. Thank you for your work!

Your "tested" devices are just headphones, right?
The Problem is not the hearing part - the microphone signals are blocked...
if you have a real headset - please try with that one again and tell me

an idea
The 7580's phone hardware is almost identical to the 7710. The processor in the 7580-higher heights, but the hardware buttons and then there are all of the functions, but it has the 4.2.2 firmware, which allow moving to the SD card. Somehow it should possess to operate from 7710.
I'm Hungarian, sorry if the translation is wrong, happened with google.

Okay so I am having the same problem with HW buttons as many others before me...

After clean 1st boot after the installation the buttons are working perfectly, but after reboot (2nd boot) they are not working properly. Only long presses are working (google search by long press of menu button, kill aplication by long press of back button, last apps by long press of home button).
So? There is no such responde on how to fix that..!

XCover 2: BT hands free - Problem fixed yet?
Hey developers,
I was wandering if the BT problem has been fixed for Cyanogenmod Version 10.2 for XCover 2.
BT hands free. Connection/pairing works, but the audio path is broken.
Thanks a lot!

baseband wipe
I can't get Cyanogenmod 10.2 working. Everytime installation wipes my baseband.
When I install the Stock ROM SIM works again - but after flashing CM again also wipes baseband again.
My Installation-Tools:
Odin v3.07
CMW: 20140112_cwm-6.0.4.6_skomer_fixed.tar.md5
CM: 20140204_cm_10.2_skomer-ota-eng.flx.zip
Is there any chance to install the baseband (I think it's inside the modem.bin)?

No network available in Polish Play
I'm installing CM for my father in law on Samsung X Cover 2 and I'm facing problem with no available network.
I've tried CM 11 and CM 10.2 - both are running fast but both doesn't recognize any network operator.
CM11 has additional problem with hanging during shutdown.
I've found that Polish network Play has common problems with radio: like here
https://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=510.
But even I'm putting T-Mobile sim card then still phone doesn't recognize (phone is coming from Play but it is unlocked).
When I restored Play stock ROM then it works.
Could anybody help in this?
I cannot point link to logcat because new user limitation - pastebin URL part is rWttd9PH

Forget CM en try Vanir or MIUI these are more up2date. Also CM11 is alpa with camera bug:
First look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/xcover-2
Vanir
Second, I use Vanir 4.4.4 daily. It has some bugs, but not some bugs that makes it unstable. Known issues:
Start/Stop navbar after every restart
Use this solution to fix connection errors after a fresh Flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60411469&postcount=612
Other small bugs:
2G/3G quick setting and normal settings dont work properly because of absence of LTE
Navigation Ring and immersive mode causes dead touch screen space
DSP manager doesn't work
After using Vanir 4.4.4 I never want to go back! It's that much faster, more free RAM en better battery performance. Because of the better RAM performance, you must kill apps more often else it will drain the battery quicker :silly:.
Best way to Flash with 4.4.4 is to first flash Clockworkmod through ODIN, then do the usual Full Wipe --> Wipe Cache --> Flash Rom --> Flash GAPPS. Here is a video of someone doing these things. P.S. in this video the process is speeded up also reboot can freeze the system (just remove battery after a couple of minutes)
Files
Vanir: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7agwkTbiz0pNHZMQlpudkR4NUU/view
GAPPS: https://mega.co.nz/#!kokjzJwT!eqmMam5r5N2kWvtmSMy4QnaHnxvoqhDtr_joSDU5anI
MIUI
Another option is MIUI (used on the the popular Chinese Xiaomo phones). Instead of the Vanir build, this build is still being maintained. But because it's based on Vanir it has most likely has the same bugs. Never tried it because I prefer stock Android.
2nd, the connection error fix for vanir could also work for CM (vanir uses stuff from CM).

CSC:i9505XXUGNK4
And

Baseband version
I9505XXUGNJ8
Or it's from my previous firmware?

Great
I don't know how you've done this firmware but it's very and i mean VERY good. Battery life great, good speed in each day use ( fast ), everything is in good working order. I tested a lot of the cfw from here even the lollipop ones and nothing ( i don't want to give names ) compares with this one. I've had some problems in aroma with kernel but after i installed the right kernel everything was more than good. Belive me my s4 knows a lot of cfw. From my point of view this is the best custom firmware for galaxy s4. Lollipop releases are good as well but they need more time to be stable. Developers spend a lot of time to do something good, so for lollipop lovers ... just have some patience, everything will be fine ( they are working on it ). I will test the firmware for a longer time and if it's ok i will give you a feedback and something else for sure

Goldeneye 49.2 minor problem
Hello:
I did a total wipe and re-install of the firmware on my M919 Galaxy S4, installing Goldeneye v49.2. It's pretty completely great! Only minor issue is that the phone icon in the dialer's "log" and "contacts" screen (but not "favorites") is microscopic now--it looks like a little green apostrophe.
Is there any way to fix this without flashing the firmware again? I'm not keen to go to all that trouble again.
Thanks!

Solution found
Ah-ha! Using Wanam Xposed, there are two settings under "PHONE," one says "Enable Call Button on Call Logs" and the second says "Fix Call Button DPI" (for use if you get a bad icon size). Ticked them both "on" and rebooted and voila, instant fix.
AWESOME!
(I am loving this ROM. It's everything I like about Touchwiz with way more flexibility and the ability to customize. WIN!)

Is there a place where I can report bugs?

Huge bug in the latest 1/11 build for KLTESPR. Whenever you try to expand a notification on the locksceeen it unlocks the phone for a few seconds and then the screen goes white and it relocks the phone. I originally did a dirty flash and then I did a two fresh installs and the bug still persisted.

Sd card problem
I have installed the Cyanogen CM 12 (20/01/2015) for my Galaxy 900F and I had no complain about this ROM expect from a problem that the my micro SD card appears to read but I can't access to write or save anything. And I try to modify some permition and use a app to put working the sd but when I try to save something in my sd I message tells me that since from 4.4.4 kitkat the sd card was unavailable for save or write something just to read it.... How can solve that problem. Cause I had my G 900F with touchwiz 5.0 lollipop and worked my sd expansion card. Does anyone had the same problem and got the solution for it?

Clean flash, constant crashes
SO I was running this rom just fine. I decided to try out MOAR rom but found it not to my liking. I did a factory reset, and flashed the 1/29 kltespr build of this rom, GAPPS, and Super Su. Unfortunately, though the ROM starts just fine, I go through the setup process, then it hangs as it's downloading/updating my apps from the Play store. The apps all say they are downloading, but never complete, the phone starts to get very laggy, then reboots to the Team UB screen, and eventually crashes into Kernel Panic (Panic msg: list corruption during del).
Thing is, this was working fine before. I switched to MOAR to test it, then when I came back, I must have broken something.
Any thoughts? I'm not quite the expert on Android, but I've never run into a problem I couldn't solve. :crying:

My Review!
Here is what I did :
- Install the Philz Touch Recovery.
- Wipe Cache / Data / System then install the ROM (the SHIRO version)
- Boot may take a while, but after that you will then see the setup screen. After setting it up the system launcher will then FC - just like what OP said. What you need to do now is to reboot the phone.
- After rebooting your phone, Install the GoogleInstaller.apk file. You might face problems when opening the installer(unable to connect.. etc) - just keep trying until you see the list of apps. Install the Gmail first (prior to that, you may need to install additional APKs - Google Framework etc. , just continue the installation) then Play Store.
IMPORTANT : Do not open PLAY STORE first. Open Gmail then sign in to you account. After that, open play store. If there would be FCs, uninstall play store and install it again using GoogleInstaller. Also, if you try to install any Google Apps (Youtube, Maps.. etc), make sure open/launch them first.
- Once Play Store has been installed and your account has been setup, you may now try installing APPS you want from the Play Store. I suggest installing Google Keyboard
- Let it update/Let it RUN for 10 mins - do not disconnect your WiFi/Internet Connection.
- At this part, ROM = Smooth and 98% Stable. There are times where System Launcher FC randomly, you just need a reboot.
** - ISSUE #1 : Display Issues. This can be PIXELS appearing randomly on your screen. Once you encounter this, reboot your phone.
So far, 3 random System Launcher FC's and 1 display issues has been encountered. The display issue seems to be fixed now, not sure about the system launcher though.
Which Works on Mine?
- Mobile Data Works.
- GPS
- Bluetooth Works
- Wifi Works
- Battery Life is 8/10 .
- No FC on Apps - successfully installed apps from Playstore with no issues found.
- Camera in use is Google Camera
- No issues found on messages.
Which don't work with Mine?
- Unable to post/insert picture from NOTES app.
Translation Issue
Some apps don't have proper english translation. For example, the Theme and Font store doesn't have english translation. There are some suggestions i found like "Clear Data and Cache" of those apps, but that is just a temporary solution.
Also, when i try to verify my phone number after signing in my MI account, it sends chinese message to my phone. There was an "auto verification", but i think it failed decoding/reading the sent message.
Missing Audio Settings!
Under "Settings"->"Additional settings"->"Headphones and audio effects" - There are no options for changing equalizer, only button settings!
Same as in here!
Hoping for the fix!
My final opinion?
9.5/10 :laugh::laugh:
Thanks OP flatzki!

If you get an error, such as "Unable to connect", then that's a known bug. Just try and try until you see the list of Google apps.

First, you need to install and use Philz Touch recovery and use it to flash the MIUI v7 rom. This should fix the sim card not detected issue.
Second, your google installer issue is most likely to only be seen on the Rainbow's version of the ROM.
In any case, try clearing App data and cache.

Guys, there is a new miui 7 update from Shiro.....

New Update has been released!
Yaay! New Update..
On the website, here are the list of known bugs (as posted by the developer)
第一次开机桌面可能会FC，这时重启手机即可
有部分网友反映sim卡、相机打不开，这个是因为miui6使用的刷机脚本比较新，老版本的recovery不能向上兼容，刷入最新philz recovery（帖子开头有传送门）再刷MIUI即可
if you have the "sim card not detected" problem, flash the latest philz recovery, then flash the rom.
如果你发现手机偶尔会自己震动，我怀疑是有程序在后台申请权限，然后被系统默认拒绝了，所以才震动，miui 6的授权管理我个人感觉还不如v5做的用心，各种设计反人类，动手能力强的用户可以尝试一下刷supersu或者superuser的卡刷包代替系统su，关闭系统权限管理，用lbe或者其他软件代替就不会再出现震动问题，还有热心机友isdatou分享的他的解决经验动手能力强的机友可以尝试一下
MkAblum程序是合作开发组gtbluesky大神写的一个修复miui自带音乐发热的小程序
非官方机型适配miui通病：
无法读取sim卡联系人
蓝牙设备解锁FC
勿扰模式下，来电依旧会导致响铃和振动，不会亮屏

PLEASE DECODE Even with google translate i'm going nuts..

Can someone explain why the Rain_Bow's version is twice as big as the Shiro's one?
Does Shiro's version has something cut off?
Also I saw some images of MIUI 7 having recent app switcher like iOS one, I'm on Shiro's 5.8.28 and it isn't even close to that, the same as MIUI 5 I had a year ago.
I suppose a lot of features haven't been ported like the one-hand thing where the screen shrinks to 4" and goes to bottom right corner.
Okay I found out that the cool task manager is there, I just had to pinch the screen

Installing MIUI7 over CM12
I have tried this like 10 times. I am on CM12.1 (Android 5.1.1). I have Philz touch installed. Everytime i flash miui the phone gets to the miui bootscreen and stays there. I have read that the first boot takes a lot of time but i think 60 minutes is a bit much...
I have tried shiro rom 5.10.29 and 5.10.30. Also tried the rainbow rom 5.10.xx and now downloading the 5.11.1.
I really wanna try miui, so any thoughts on how to solve my problem are welcome.

On philz, select the option "Clean to install a new rom" before flashing.
On the first boot, you will have a lot of systemUI crash, just reboot and all is ok
