Are there any roms that still allow me to use the extra sensors?

What have you done/installed since you got your phone? My phone actually hasn't experienced any noticeable lag at all, not even once since opening the box. And I had three of them - all had zero lag. Of course, I still went and updated it and disabled some stock apps. It's getting better and better. The only issue is the speed at which this phone gets warm performing basic tasks like camera, email, internet. Even sometimes in my pocket with Sync turned off and Sound muted, the phone would get warm by itself. That's funny.

I installed action launcher, removed animations and thats about it. Right now I'm downloading the wicked rom to install, but I don't want to lose all of the samsung features such as, "smart scroll, s beam, multi-window, etc). Would you happen to know if the wicked v2 rom removes any of those?
im tired of the lag too.im on stock rooted with all the gimmics disable , my gf gs3 is alot faster. gallery takes about 2 sec just to open.
hopefully is fixed. had the htc one but battery life on it doesnt compare to gs4 .
If you don't want to be rooted to "kill the lag" go to recovery mode and factory reset and reboot. Do not touch or do anything with the phone for 5 minutes before setting up.
Im stock rooted, running Faux's kernel. I ALWAYS disable animations in Developer options....that alone eliminates much of the lag in any phone. Also, you can disable the S Voice connection to the home button.
Lastly if you want an incredibly ultra fast experience in scrolling and app drawer.... Install Nova...and make sure to make scroll speed "faster than light". You will then see how fast this phone can be when not slowed down by animations. The nice thing about Touchwiz, is that the settings and notification tray look fairly stock JB....so it matches great with Nova.
This S4 is FLYING....so friggin fast, zero lag, great battery life!
Try it out!
Cheers.
On official 4.4.2 and im not getting screen rotation?? On OG kernel, but custom rom. Is this the rom, kernel, or did I break it somehow?

I noticed the same thing happening to me , but I think is exposed framework , are you using that? I flashed a romantic a my rotation works once I install exposed then it breaks .

I think it's kitkat. i'm on stock rooted with the stock kernel i posted but still no rotation on the homescreen, but works on everything else.
Yea I'm trying. It's being stupid

I didn't know stock Touchwiz allowed landscape rotation without tweaks. Of course, that's usually one of the first thing I dump in favor of Nova or Apex anyway.
Yeah. Never heard of TW rotating on its own. There should be a mod and if don't work. It don't work. Having rotation on TW launcher suckss anyways

Wait... Are we talking rotation on the homescreen with no apps open? TouchWiz never did that. At least not stock out of the box. If were talking within apps then yes, it should rotate, if you have it enabled in the settings. Otherwise it will stay in portrait (or landscape) at all times.

I am having the same issue with both the odin and flashable versions. It works for a while, but then stops working. Really annoying! I am not using the exposed framework or modules, purely stock. Are you removing any apps? That is the only thing I do, but nothing I know to be related.
I'm not sure if this is it, or my "fix" will help, but maybe when updating to KK the phone wasn't level, and the compass/gyroscope calibrated itself to be off center. I don't have any issues with rotation, but what I did when I updated was I opened Bubble Level, and noticed it wasn't "level", so I reset the calibrations for the entire phone, and then put it on a level surface, and re-calibrated it, and now when I open the app on a level surface it is spot on. Maybe give that a try. Here is the app I used.

Hope it helps.

It's funny because that app and the camera app rotate just fine, but nothing else does; not gallery, chrome or anything else I try that regularly rotates. It's definitely wanam or xposed, ran fine until I installed them.

I still have rotation issues. I found with youtube if you make it full screen it will automatically rotate, but you have to hold it all weird for it to stay in landscape lol.

I don't think is wanam or xposed. It must have something to do with an app that I am uninstalling with Titanium Backup. I am currently running Vision X N3 - Tmobile and have been doing some testing. If I uninstall my usual 60 apps that that include S Health and the related sensor app, my auto rotation will stop working. However, if i don't debloat then no issues. I have been running the bloated version for a day or so and rotation still works. I am going to try leaving S health and the related sensor app to see what happens. On 4.3 I would always remove both apps and never had an issue. Oh, and wanam and xposed are pre-installed on the rom. I don't use them, but they are pre-installed.
So, do you debloat, and if so; do you remove S health and its related sensor app?

No matter what KITKAT firmware, MODEM, or KERNEL i use. My phone will just RANDOMLY restart out of no where. It makes no sense. The phone doesn't seem hot, I have tried countless factory resets, formatting systems, re installing GAPS, reflashing modems and kernels, and rooted firmware.
It's especially prevalant when using the GPS. Or anything CPU intensive, I would ASSUME.
Can someone tell me what the heck would be causing this?
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy SIII
Get the Event Logger app and see if it registers any actions next time. Sounds like yet another power button gone bad though. If so im hoping the app will log the button press before it restarts.

Mine works fine. My phone is pure stock unrooted. I use a free app from the play store called Power Toggles to have access to a flashlight in the drop down notification window.
I've also read in several places where some people had minor issues like this after updating but a factory reset solved the problems.
hope this helps.
So I flashed the first version of CM12 and was very pleased with the speed and such but there were quite a few bugs. One thing I experienced was the phone app hung on me a couple times and I couldn't get back to the phone app after multi-tasking. Another thing was the status bar pull down was very buggy and sometimes wouldn't pull down, go back up, let me select a notification, etc.
Has anyone used the newer ones to know that these items are fixed or no longer an issue?
Similar problems here. Waiting on upcoming builds to see if they're addressed.

Nice! Let me know if it's daily driver status yet, I use my phone for work and take phone calls all day long and can't be restarting my phone after every call, lol.
Its my daily driver
but anyone else notice updates need to be flashed manually in TWRP?
Yes same here don't know what is going on
With CM 12, is there any way WiFi Calling/Texting can be implemented? I know it's a T-Mibile feature, but knowing it's a T-Mobile issued G3, I believe it's more possible than other carrier CM 12.
1/28 seems to have broken tap to sleep. Tap to wake still works
Edit....
Fixed in 1/29 [emoji4]

Not until the nexus 6 gets the update for the WiFi calling,would it be remotely close for us. And even then there is no guarantee that it would work on this phone.

Well I flashed the 2/03 nightly and it's still having the same issues...
It runs flawlessly until I make a phone call, then the status bar gets stuck pulled down. I can't get back to the call to end it, select anything from the status bar or slide the status bar up. Sometimes it fixes itself but mostly I have to restart the phone. I flashed Illusion for now and other than the screen not turning on when I pull the phone away from my face while on a call it's working really well.
I'll try CM in another week or so.
Hey guys, I got the official CM 12 upto date rom on my G3. My question is that is there any way I can get the tap to wake the display back on my G3.

Just go in the settings, it's in there in all CM ROMs.
It's under Display or just use the settings search bar and search the word TAP.
Thanks Jason, its working flawlessly.
